Chapter 942 942: Encounter on a narrow road (Part 1)
It's said to be a prison, but it's actually a small, dark room.
There are no windows on all sides of the small house. Only a skylight is opened on the beam, allowing a ray of sunlight to pour in. This ray of sunlight is also the only light source in the house. Through the light source, the indoor furnishings can be vaguely seen. The surroundings are empty, with wavy-shaped cultural lines along the edges. There are no convex and convex marks left on the wall, and there are no horrific and inhumane torture tools as imagined. Liu Changshi was imprisoned on the wooden frame, and her bloody head was hanging down. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she would still look normal at first glance. Thought she had turned into a corpse.
"Well--"
Liu Changshi frowned in discomfort.
Opening her eyes slightly, she was alone in the small room.
She didn't know what was weird about this room, but she felt uncomfortable when she was in it. Her breathing accelerated uncontrollably, and she seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood rushing in her body. When she concentrated on listening, the sound disappeared without a trace, as if it was an illusion. .
She grinned, trying to sense the literary energy in Dan Mansion.
Although Shen Tang's palm wind did not exert all its strength, she was not as strong as a brave warrior and could not withstand such strength. With just one encounter, all the meridians and literary energy were in chaos, and the literary energy was out of control, and some even Accidentally reverse the flow.
Coupled with the damage to internal organs, the injuries add to the injuries.
It's just that the methods of the Kangguo Criminal Department were well-deserved, and the banning methods were also special. She couldn't feel the existence of Wen Qi and Dan Mansion, so she gave up after trying a few times. She raised her head to observe the room, and when she saw the Wen Qi on the wall like waves, her heart felt inexplicably. She was jumping wildly, and an unspeakable manic emotion crept into her mind. She simply closed her eyes and tried to calm down the out-of-control emotions by adjusting her breathing. It had some effect at first, but after only a few breaths, That emotion actually came back.
No, there's something wrong with this room!
It's so quiet here!
You must know that even though she was sealed in the Dan Mansion, her hearing was still there. The sound of wind, falling leaves, the chirping of birds and animals, and even the breathing of people nearby, which she had never paid attention to in normal times, all disappeared at this moment. At this moment, what the eyes saw Is it reality or fantasy?
Liu Changshi shook his head hard, trying to maintain his rationality.
Obviously, this behavior was in vain. She bit the tip of her tongue again, using the pain of her nails digging into her palms to relieve the discomfort.
Blood dripped down the corners of his lips and palms.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, just when she thought her heart was about to burst, her throat spasmed and twitched, and she vomited out a mouthful of steaming, undigested filth with pale lips. At this moment, even the veins on her forehead were beating. ,twitch.
The objects seen by both eyes overlapped.
She moved her lips and vomited in pain.
Just when she was about to lean back hard enough to knock herself unconscious or even to death, the door of the small room quietly opened, and a woman in a purple dress walked in. The woman's appearance was very outstanding, but her lips curved upward. Below, her eyes were sinister and cold, and she exuded the aura of keeping strangers away from her. The woman raised her hand and held the sword on her waist, and walked into the small room with another man.
The woman in purple was half a step behind the man. The young man glanced at Liu Changshi's embarrassed appearance, raised his hand to cover his nose with his fingers, and curled up the corners of his lips: "How does it feel to be tortured with silence?"
Physical torture can only torture the prisoner's body. The Ministry of Punishment is more interested in torturing the prisoner's spirit and breaking his will without harming the prisoner. As long as the prisoner's mental defenses are relaxed, the spirit of torture can play its greatest role.
Liu Changshi sneered: "That's it?"
At some point, her voice became rough and hoarse. She thought it was a menacing provocation, but it was just a weak whisper.
"The main course hasn't been served yet, why are you anxious?"
With that said, the two men brought up a shelf.
The shelves were filled with all kinds of tips and tricks, all of which contained the horrifying torture methods of the Ministry of Punishments. Gu Chi clicked his tongue and said, "Kang Jishou is really getting more and more fancy at his tricks."
He said that the Ministry of Punishment was not for human beings, but he adapted very well in action. Gu Chi had a special way of being a scholar, and would go to the Ministry of Punishment from time to time. Compared with Yushitai, an institution that offended people, Gu Chi preferred the Ministry of Punishment. It's a pity.
, she refused to have sex with her master.
"Which tip do you like?"
As the shelf fell to the ground, the door to the small dark room closed again.
Liu Changshi had no energy to respond to him.
Seeing that she had given up on helping herself, Gu Chi had no choice but to help her choose. While choosing, he chatted: "Money is something that you can't take with you until you die. It's not worth the woman's life for it. Gu knows that you are
The master of the spy sent from the Northern Desert is Brother Tude. Speaking of fate, Brother Tude is still the previous master of Gu. From this relationship, we are still colleagues. Do you want to listen to the words of the predecessors?
Brother Tude doesn't have the spirit of an emperor, and you will definitely achieve nothing with him, and the female queen will secretly support you."
Gu Chi opened a blind box.
He took out a piece of paper and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why is the queen so afraid of Gu? Gu is only good at reading minds and is not a monster that can get into people's brains..." Gu Chi listened to a series of unpleasant curses in Liu Changshi's heart and spread the paper.
Open it and get close to her so that she can take a closer look. Liu Changshi rolled his tongue and prepared a mouthful of saliva to spit. But she didn't have any strength, and the bloody saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth to her chin. Gu Chi said, "The queen is
Don’t you feel that your head hurts, your ears can’t hear, and your eyes are in a trance?”
"Don't worry, silence punishment is just that."
"No one has survived two hours so far."
"The female monarch is tenacious and may be able to break the record of the Ministry of Punishment."
Liu Changshi's face was twitching and contorting. In order to endure the discomfort, his eyes were covered with scarlet bloodshot eyes, and a small, winding red snake emerged from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. In a daze, she felt as if her teeth were missing.
Bit to pieces by myself.
At this time, a cold finger touched her eyebrows.
Her attention focused there uncontrollably.
Wherever the coldness passes, the pain recedes like the tide.
She opened her eyelids covered with sticky blood, and the sounds in her ears were sometimes near and sometimes far away, sometimes as small as gnats, sometimes as noisy as a bell, and accompanied by strong chaotic echoes. Liu Changshi tried to see clearly what Gu Chi was going to do.
What to do, all I could see with my eyes was the other person's lips opening and closing: "...But, if necessary, Gu wouldn't mind transforming into such a terrifying monster."
It took Liu Changshi a while to digest these contents.
Then, his head seemed to explode from the inside out.
Countless memories flashed back uncontrollably.
Including what she tried to forget, what she thought she had forgotten, and even what she had completely forgotten...
"Stop, stop—"
Liu Changshi’s eyes are about to burst!
Only then did she understand why insiders had been disappearing over the years. No matter how deep they were hidden, they would be dug out. Someone really could forcibly read another person's memory! What kind of word spirit is this? Liu Changshi bit the tip of his tongue and prepared to use force.
Take your own life.
Yu Zi's quick eyes and hands quickly removed her lower jaw.
"When you enter the Criminal Department, you don't have the final say on life or death!"
Liu Changshi cursed vaguely: "Bitch——"
Yu Zi didn't take her words to heart.
Prisoners who joined the Criminal Department were scolded much more harshly than this. It was still the most basic thing to greet the eighteen generations of ancestors. Occasionally, when she heard someone scold her father's family for their subtle scolding, Yu Zi would be in a good mood and let people add insult to injury to the prisoners.
Dish, if you know how to curse, just curse a few more times.
Just as Yu Zi was about to persuade her not to do anything in vain, a strong sense of crisis rushed toward Tianling Gai. Without thinking, she followed her body's instinct to draw her sword out of its sheath, and several literary barriers rose up under her feet in a hurry. She grabbed Gu Chi's shoulder with one hand.
Then, he stabbed Liu Changshi's neck with the sword edge with one hand. In this case, someone might come to rob the prison! According to the rules of the Ministry of Punishment, you would rather have a prisoner's body than let the tiger return to the mountain. There will be endless troubles!
It's just that Yu Zi's actions were a step slower after all.
In other words, the visitor moved too quickly.
Several literary barriers were like paper, failing to hinder the incoming visitor for a moment. The sword tip was still an arm's length away from Liu Changshi's vital point, and it was difficult to make any further progress! It was a hand, a man's right hand. This one
The right hand is not even wearing protective gear!
In the flash of lightning, Yu Zi could clearly see the appearance of the person coming.
The small house made of Yanling was exploded from the inside by the air wave.
Gu Chi, who was forcibly interrupted from the scribe's way, did not bother to suppress the countercurrent meridians, and used [Moving Flowers and Trees] to distance himself, and looked through the air waves to see the man's face clearly: "Gong Yunchi!"
Gong Cheng had no intention of taking action or responding.
Carrying Liu Changshi, he prepared to evacuate.
Taking action rashly this time has already taken a huge risk. Shen Youli is not far away. The other party is coming, and he is in trouble if he wants to leave. He wants to leave, but Shen Tang doesn't allow it.
A bright sword light struck him on the way back.
The sword blade forced Gong Cheng back to his original position.
Shen Tang also recognized Gong Cheng when she arrived. She only met Gong Cheng a few times, and the last time they met was in the first year of Yuanhuang.
After so many years, I have long forgotten this person's aura.
I didn't even expect that the person coming would be him.
"Gong Cheng, are Beimo preparing for war?"
Gong Cheng smashed the imprisonment of Liu Chang and Stan's house with one palm, and said quietly: "Gong cannot bear the responsibility of starting a war between the two places."
Shen Tang went to see Gu Chi and Yu Zi first.
Seeing that nothing happened to the two of them, I felt relieved.
He saw the subordinates of the Punishment Department lying on the ground again, and his murderous intent surged: "Can't you bear it? Can't you bear the commotion in the Punishment Department?"
Gong Cheng: "Gong's duty is that she cannot die yet. I hope Mr. Shen will not be in trouble. You and I are going to war here. The final outcome is hard to predict, but the Jinli County Administration will be in disaster."
He also noticed that Shen Tang's gaze fell several times, and calmly explained: "They are just unconscious and their lives are not in danger. If it is not necessary, Gong's hands do not want to be stained with the blood of his own people."
Shen Tang is really taking action now.
She sneered several times, and the fingers holding the hilt of the sword turned blue and white. She was obviously trying her best to restrain herself from taking action: "Indeed, but if you don't kill Boren, Boren will also die because of you. If you help Beimo, whether it's to contain me , or to contain other generals, even if you don't kill people, every one of the people killed by Bei Mo with the help of morale was your fault, Gong Yunchi, and you can't clean them!"
Gong Cheng had no reaction to this.
He just said: "If Mr. Shen wants to start a war, Beimo will welcome you."
It was impossible for Shen Tang to just watch Gong Cheng lead people away.
"Gong Yunchi, don't even think about leaving!"
Two streams of light pierced the sky one after the other.
Gong Cheng was not a brave warrior who took the agile route, so he was somewhat disadvantaged in terms of speed, and he ran into a sword blade that seemed to tear apart the space. He did not frown, and he was fully armored in an instant, allowing Liu Changshi to take the lead. Take care of yourself and face the challenge head-on.
Gu Chi swallowed the blood in his throat: "Stop it, my lord!"
People who heard the noise came one after another.
Although Qian Yong didn't know what was going on, he saw that Shen Tang took action in person and knew that there was a lot of movement. He immediately chose to use force to form a defensive formation and let the soldiers form a defensive formation to build a thick barrier to protect the buildings and people below. Avoid disaster.
Gong Cheng didn't dare to delay seeing this posture.
Pick one, he is confident.
But this is Shen Tang's base camp.
If you fight, you will only suffer losses.
"Jun Shen, please forgive me."
Gong Cheng grabbed Liu Changshi and made a seal with his other hand.
The moment Shen Tang's sword struck, the two people's bodies turned into starlight and dispersed, their auras disappeared on the spot, and they disappeared without a trace.
Shen Tang gritted his teeth: "Do you think you can run away?"
The next moment, a strange mark appeared on his forehead.
Even if it is a complex word spirit like [Shrunk to an Inch], as long as it is a word spirit, it will leave traces, and it is not impossible to follow the traces to catch people. Gong Cheng should still be in Jinli County at this moment! Seeing that Shen Tang wanted to pursue him, Gu Chi vomited blood again in a hurry.
"No—Lord—"
One was so anxious that he almost fell off the roof.
Shen Tang was still rational, so he ducked and grabbed Gu Chi's shoulder.
"Watch the tide!"
Sensing that the aura in his body was disordered, he took action to suppress it. With Shen Tang's help, Gu Chi's aura became smoother after a while: "That person's most important memory has been obtained, cough cough cough - there is no point in pursuing her, my lord." It’s big and easy to be ambushed.”
There is a small elite group from the Northern Desert in Jinli County.
These elites specialize in assassinations.
Help the lurking spies in the Northern Desert to eliminate dissidents.
If the lord catches up, he will easily fall into passivity with Gong Cheng in charge. Shen Tang looked reluctantly at the direction in which Gong Cheng disappeared, sighed helplessly, and the mark on his forehead gradually faded: "I don't want to chase you, you go first Luck adjustment.”
Gu Chi grabbed her arm tightly, fearing that she would run away in anger. Although his face was pale, his eyes were particularly bright: "The most important thing at the moment is to get ahead of these people and set up a hidden stake in Beimo in Kunzhou." Remove them all...must be quick!"
The rebels in Kunzhou are so arrogant. In addition to the rebels' tireless efforts to destroy Shen Tang's reputation and intimidate the local people, who are deceived into helping the tyrants to commit crimes, another reason is that Beimo secretly funded it. The royal court had been suspecting it before, but could never find it. Evidence, this is also the reason for sending the supervisory censor to secretly investigate.
If there is a war with Bei Mo, Kunzhou must maintain stability.
Shen Tang nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Compared with what is in front of me, Gong Cheng's side is not important.
at the same time--
Gong Cheng and Gong Cheng appeared in a strange open space.
The scenery nearby does not resemble the style of Jinli County.
Liu Changshi meditated and adjusted his breath. After walking around with Wen Qi, the discomfort caused by the silence torture subsided a lot, but there was still a little fear left in her heart - Gu Chi felt like she was in a deserted place in her memory. This kind of fear that has no secret is always lingering.
She recovered a little and stood up: "Go back quickly."
Gong Cheng sat not far away, closing his eyes and regulating his breath.
Liu Changshi asked him: "Why did you come so late?"
Gong Cheng said: "I met an acquaintance."
He rushed over after receiving the news.
Liu Changshi smiled angrily: "Meet an acquaintance?"
Gong Cheng avoided talking to the acquaintance and only warned: "If you hadn't insisted on rushing back and been caught, there wouldn't have been such a disturbance. It turns out that Shen Youli has no direct evidence to prove that Bei Mo interfered in Jinli County, so it would be better for you , deliver the evidence to your doorstep.”
In war, it is also important to have a division that is famous.
Now, there is no need to make excuses for starting a war in the Northern Desert.
Liu Changshi's expression changed and he took a deep breath: "There was a traitor. I originally wanted to spare her life, but I didn't expect..."
She had investigated the female soldier early in the morning.
I didn't think of this person as a threat from the beginning.
But she didn't want to stab her in the back at the critical moment.
Gong Cheng said lightly: "With Shen Youli's character, she can't do anything like whipping the corpse to vent her anger. Your sister doesn't want to go to a place like Bei Mo. What's wrong with letting her be buried here?"
Liu Changshi did not respond.
Gong Cheng was also used to it: "Let's go."
Although he didn't know the information about Gu Chi's way of being a scribe, judging from the situation at the time, the secret was probably leaked. It's hard to say how much was leaked. Now he can only try his best to make up for it, and how much can be saved. I'm afraid Beimo has not. I thought that after many years of planning, the hole would be ripped open during the closing stage. With Shen Youli's thunderous skills, as long as the internal troubles are eradicated, Kunzhou will never be in chaos.
Bei Mo's plan will come to nothing.
The rest is up to chance.
Liu Changshi forced out a mouthful of blood and felt that his heart was a little smoother. His eyes were sinister and he said: "How can a lonely person like you understand how important my sister is to me?"
Gong Cheng smiled slightly and said mockingly: "Of course I understand, but I also understand that she is important, but not as important as yourself."
Liu Changshi stood up staggeringly.
"What's the difference between you and me?"
She disliked Gong Cheng.
It's not that Gong Cheng is a bad person, on the contrary, he lives in seclusion in the Northern Desert and has no grievances with other people.
What she doesn't like about Gong Cheng is that when we are all in the same quagmire, why is he pretending to be aloof? Shen Youli's words are really heartbreaking to ask - betrayal is not complete, loyalty is not complete, hypocrisy is not complete, and sincerity is not complete , why is he noble?
Gong Cheng said: "There is no difference."
Liu Changshi choked.
The calm heart surged again.
Even though she was eager to return home and wanted to go back to Jinli County to clean up the secret mess to avoid being hunted down by Shen Tang, she could only suppress it at the moment. However, she didn't feel any change in the space after two breaths, so she couldn't help but raise her head. Look at Gong Cheng.
"Why are you delaying on purpose?"
Of course Gong Cheng didn't delay on purpose.
His eyes fell on a tree, a tree with a giant reticulated python coiled around it. The snake was wrapped around one of the thick branches, and a pair of snake eyes were looking in their direction.
Liu Changshi said: "It's just a snake."
Gong Cheng said: "Snakes can't understand human words."
The snake in front of me understands that it is not a snake either.
The other party is a person.
Gong Cheng asked the python quietly: "How much did you hear?"
The python raised its head, but the snake was hesitant and actually uttered human words.
"Do you know Mama?"
"Daddy Mama, please tell me the truth, or I will kill you and make snake stew!" Liu Changshi was not interested in watching the python that could speak human language, and did not know what kind of disease Gong Cheng had, so she warned Gong Cheng in a low voice. , “Don’t lose big for small things!”
Time is precious right now and cannot be delayed.
Gong Cheng's eyes lit up: "Mama?"
This title is commonly used by the Gongxi people.
The crest of the Gongxi tribe is the snake.
"You have ill intentions towards me."
The python swam down with agility that was inconsistent with its size.
This python is Gong Xiqiu in the form of a totem.
When a brave warrior reaches his level of strength, he can better sense the energy of heaven and earth in the form of a totem, and practice with half the effort.
He was sleeping comfortably, but he was awakened by the sudden breath, and then heard the conversation between the two and the familiar names.
As soon as he moved, the man was aware of his presence.
