Chapter 10 Seven Days to Live

Chapter 10 Live for another seven days

Author: The South Wind Has Not Ended

Chapter 10 Live for another seven days

The tent curtains were messy due to the scattered wind just now, and they were still fluttering and rustling due to the aftermath.

A small patch of sunshine from outside shines in, and fine dust flies quietly. Because it is light and weak, it can only fly by the wind.

a long time.

"Bang!"

Li Hongling straightened up and slowly smashed the giant halberd on the ground next to her, scattering all the dust.

She said calmly:

"I remember that you were captured in Jinghe Palace."

Chen Kuang relaxed his shoulders and immediately looked like he was exhausted. He put his hands on the ground and made a kneeling posture.

His acting skills are too poor. It is better to try not to make unnecessary movements and just use fear and awe to hide facial expressions and other reactions.

He subconsciously compared the pressure he felt when he faced Li Hongling's giant halberd with the feeling he felt when he faced Huo Hengxuan's actual murderous intent before.

Obviously, the latter brought him much more instinctive fear, after all, it was almost equivalent to death.

However, Li Hongling was at best threatening, and at that time Huo Hengxuan had no way to retreat, so there was a high probability that she really wanted to kill him.

Strength cannot be determined by this.

Chen Kuang lowered his head:

"Yes, I was called into the palace by the late emperor at that time, just to give him the elixir."

Li Hongling sneered:

"I thought that Su Yu was really hopelessly stupid. He didn't even fear death and continued to play music and dance. This makes sense."

No...actually he is really that stupid.

Chen Kuang complained in his heart, and then was stunned.

Su Yu... could this last emperor of Daliang really be that stupid?

In other words, he may be stupid, but a stupid person in a high position must also be cowardly and greedy.

With the army approaching and life and death at stake, is it really possible that Su Yu would still be in the mood to summon musicians to sing and dance in the main hall while waiting to die?

Why... doesn't he run?

Will that missing memory have anything to do with Su Yu?

Chen Kuang suddenly felt an inexplicable and extremely uncomfortable coldness in his heart, like a poisonous snake coiling around his heart.

Li Hongling examined the young man in front of her and mistook his slight trembling as fear.

She then said coldly:

"So, Mr. Musician, may I ask, where is the elixir you want to bring to His Majesty Su Yu?"

Since he had been held captive for five days, Chen Kuang must have been searched more than once, but obviously nothing was found.

Chen Kuang said calmly:

"At that time, the general led the black-armored army to attack the city. I was suddenly summoned to Jinghe Hall, and I knew that the danger was very serious."

"The emperor will take it with him when he dies. There is absolutely no need to let anyone else know about the existence of such an important thing."

"Once I hand it over, I will definitely die."

"So... you chose to bet on your own survival and never brought the pill with you from the beginning."

Li Hongling narrowed her eyes:

"Ha... So, you are a helpless little person who can be completely driven. When things came to a close and it was time to repay your kindness, you failed to live up to Su Yu's painstaking training."

Chen Kuang said nothing and chose the default.

Li Hongling said: "Why are you deliberately exposing yourself now?"

Chen Kuang said: "Why didn't the elixirs be brought to Jinghe Hall? Now that's why."

Li Hongling nodded: "To live."

Very reasonable and flawless.

If it had been before, there was really no need for Chen Kuang to deliberately expose his secrets, because he had no status. Even if he became a slave after the war, he would at least have a chance of survival.

But now, because of that bowl of decapitated rice, I had to take the initiative to stand up and save my life.

As for why you don't call people directly, this is also easy to explain.

Because next door to him is Huo Hengxuan. This old guy looks careless, but he is loyal to Daliang.

If Chen Kuang spoke in front of him, he would probably be punched through the brain in an instant!

How desperate would he be if he knew that the secret he was guarding was actually in the hands of a villain and betrayed Daliang without hesitation?

Li Hongling laughed in her heart.

She looked at Chen Kuang, her scarlet eyes flashing:

"Okay, as long as you reveal the whereabouts of the elixir, I will keep you alive."

The blind musician shook his head:

"General Li, do you remember what I just said - there is absolutely no need to let anyone else know about the existence of such an important thing."

Chen Kuang raised his head, with wet blood sliding down his face with his eyes tightly closed, his expression extremely calm:

"At this moment, I am the only person in the world who knows the whereabouts of the elixir."

"General Lee."

Li Hongling was silent for a moment, her eyes blazing fiercely, like a tiger trying to choose someone to devour:

"Are you... threatening me?"

"Did you know that there is an immortal master from the Three Tribulations Sect in the East Corner Tower at this time? Even if you don't want to say it, you can't help it."

"The villain dare not."

Chen Kuang said: "If a villain dares to do this, he has put his own life and death at risk. It's not that he doesn't want to tell the general the whereabouts of the elixir. It's just that even if he survives, he will still have to run for a living in the future, which makes him miserable."

He sighed:

"The villain is despicable. I have seen the luxury of palace life once. If I continue to live like an ant, it is better to die."

"General, you don't have to worry about the immortal master mobilizing troops like this. As long as your next wish is fulfilled, I will know everything you want to say."

He is indeed a complete villain.

Others suffer because of the ruin of their country and family, but he weeps because of the loss of his glory and wealth.

Li Hongling's tone suddenly softened:

"You can tell me what you wish for?"

Chen Kuang said: "I want to live for another seven days and live like an emperor for another seven days."

ha……

Li Hongling almost laughed out loud, as if she were watching a clown, and said:

"Like an emperor? Everyone in the imperial city is already a prisoner. Do you want to live in the Jinghe Palace and let me serve you personally?"

Thanks, then it’s better to let Chu Wenruo serve me...

Chen Kuang cursed in his heart, then shook his head and said:

"The most beautiful delicacies and the best wine in the world also require a frame of dragon's gums."

Li Hongling looked at him condescendingly, Chen Kuang's tone was flattering and flattering.

She thought to herself that he really was a despicable and lowly person, and he would really say something like the emperor's golden hoe.

In his opinion, I am afraid that the emperor's life will be like this——

"Dragon Gum" is a precious guqin in the collection palace of Emperor Liang, which is priceless.

For a musician, owning such a piano is probably the best life in the world.

Li Hongling's scarlet eyes were curved, seemingly with a hint of a smile, but upon closer inspection they were completely cold.

"It's so simple, Mr. Musician, I wish I had just said no -"

"But it's a pity that you threatened me just now, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Li Hongling walked up to Chen Kuang, with that cold smile, she suddenly raised her foot and stepped on his two shins casually.

"Crack!"

Chen Kuang suddenly curled up on the ground, his back instantly soaked in cold sweat.

There were two blood stains on the robe underneath him.

Li Hongling moved her feet, looked at him coldly, and clapped her hands:

"Qingcuo, take him back, and from today onwards, send him the delicacies of the Three Lakes and the fine wine of Xinfeng every day."

"Oh... Also, by the way, send him the Dragon Gum Guqin into the cell."

"This Tianlao will be your palace for seven days, so enjoy it."

"After seven days, whether you want it or not, I will know the whereabouts of the elixir."

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door to the officials, and left the tent with the two black-armored guards.

The black-armored guard named Qingcuo walked in quietly.

He looked at the blind man on the ground with both legs crushed, and paused hesitantly, seemingly at a loss.

After a few seconds, he stepped forward, squatted slightly, and passed his hands through Chen Kuang's back and under his legs.

He hugged the latter...princess hug.

Chen Kuang, who could barely hold back the pain of his broken leg, almost opened his eyes.
