After a lot of trouble, he finally found the items he needed. Qiu Yu was in a good mood, took out the crystal bottle containing the elixir, put it into his own ring, looked at Shao Lin again, and said in a deep voice:
"No one can be arrogant in front of this king, otherwise the consequences will be miserable. Please tell me honestly to avoid suffering again."
Shao Lin couldn't bear the methods of the two strong orcs. He would rather die than suffer the pain alive. He could only sigh and said, "I confess... I have confessed them all. The connection with Qian Guandao is precisely because of Yuan Houxiong, that is,
My brother-in-law, he worshiped Liu Yun as his teacher a long time ago and recommended him to me, and what impressed me was this Tianshui Qingyun Pill..."
Qiu Yu's heart moved and he asked doubtfully: "Is this pill a gift from the old thief Liuyun?"
Shao Lin nodded, his pale and bloodless face full of bitterness, and said in annoyance: "Exactly...I am also a strong man in the realm of fusion, so naturally I want to be promoted to a virtual state in the future.
I am afraid that this is the dream of every strong person, and I am no exception. However, how difficult it is, I really dare not think about it... But with this elixir, the chance of success in promotion will increase exponentially, even though I know that
The old guy is not a good thing, so I accepted it without any resistance."
"No wonder! You are short-handed in taking other people's things, so this is the beginning of your friendship?" Qiu Yu felt a little regretful. He was in a high position and knew many officials in the imperial court. The reputation of this Youdu Yushi had always been good.
, he also gradually rose up to assume important positions step by step. He was very talented, but was ruined because of a pill. How sad!
"Alas..." A sigh came out, full of regret, "It's all caused by greed. I already hold an important position. It is logical that I should do my best to contribute to the court, but I always can't forget about the journey of cultivation and becoming a super strong person."
The person has a strong desire, thinking that if he can climb to the top, his life span will also increase accordingly."
All people in the Shenmang Continent practice cultivation because they live in a relatively primitive society, where the weak eat the strong, and those who are not powerful will only be bullied. Moreover, the natural environment is harsh, and all kinds of ferocious monsters emerge in endlessly. If human beings did not have strong fighting power, they would have become extinct long ago.
.So cultivation is very important for everyone. Another reason is that continuous improvement can change the physique and even extend the life span. Then one can live for five hundred years in the Soul Fusion Realm. If one enters the Void Realm and becomes a super strong person,
That's an increase of one hundred years.
Various benefits have made human beings flock to the hard training, and they will advance at all costs. From the royal power and wealth to the traffickers and pawns, they are unwilling to lag behind others in this aspect...
"Since you have obtained this elixir, why do you still keep it and not take it?" Qiu Yu asked in confusion.
Mentioning this made Shao Lin regretful, and he said with great regret: "I still failed to face up to my talent in cultivation, thinking that there was still a lot of room for improvement. A few years ago when I met Taoist Liuyun, I was in a
At the middle stage of Soul Fusion, I feel that it won’t take long to enter the late stage or even impact the virtual state. However, after so many years, I still stay at the original level of cultivation. This pill only has miraculous effects when I advance to the virtual state. I don’t have it.
Take the chance."
That's just right, let me enjoy it! Qiu Yu felt happy and felt that this old guy was a little miserable, so he nodded and said: "It's a pity that it will be in vain in the end."
"No, if I really use this elixir, it will be worth the risk. Now it seems that I really can't do it..."
The interrogation lasted until late at night, and finally Shao Lin confessed his crime of covering up his brother-in-law Yuan Houxiong and Qian Guandao. Qiu Yu stopped torture and just said, "In the way of being an official, there must be a bottom line at all times.
You cannot give up principles for your own selfish interests. Your connivance has caused harm to many people, displaced them, and destroyed their families, so you must pay the price."
Shao Lin was also completely convinced and said in a low voice: "I am aware of my sin. I just ask that I not be tortured again. Please ask His Highness Prince Ling to execute the execution and let me die to atone for my sin."
"The king will consider your request."
For Shao Lin, such a promise is also a kind of forgiveness. He said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for granting me..."
It was past midnight, and the gloomy sky was filled with snowflakes. As the biting north wind blew, the snow fell harder and harder. The ground was covered with a white layer. This was the first snow since the beginning of winter in Beijing.
As the temperature dropped, the air became fresher and fresher.
The tightly closed door of the Criminal Department was pushed open by the guards. Qiu Yu, who was wearing a black cloak and a hat on his head, walked out first, followed closely by a pair of strong orcs, as well as the Lord Shangshu and other officials.
Prince Ling was interrogating the criminals all night long. They had been accompanying him in the lobby just now and did not dare to slack off at all.
A group of people came to the bottom of the steps. A beast cart was waiting. Lord Shangshu said respectfully: "The snow is too heavy. Your Highness, please get in the cart."
Qiu Yu waved his hands and said: "No, the snow heralds a good harvest. The scenery is so beautiful. The air outside is also very good. I will watch it all the way back. Regarding the prisoner Shao Lin, he has fully confessed. After all, he is also a former important minister of the imperial court.
, he has made many achievements in the past, but now his mistake has caused eternal hatred and made people feel sorry for him, so don’t make it difficult for him anymore, just lock him up first.”
For the sake of Tianshui Qingyundan, he felt that he should take some care of him, not to change Shao Lin's fate, but to try not to be tortured during his detention, otherwise it would be too inhumane.
Lord Shangshu quickly agreed, "Your Highness's words are reasonable, and I will obey your orders..."
Suddenly, someone ran out of the shadows in the distance. He ran over quickly and attracted everyone's attention. More than ten guards rushed over to greet him. The officer leading him sternly scolded: "Who is so brazen in front of the criminal department?
Stand down immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
This was a slender and thinly dressed woman. She only wore a long blue skirt in the cold weather, which outlined her curvy figure. She saw the officers and soldiers holding knives and trying to attack her, and she couldn't help but feel terrified.
She quickly knelt down on the snow, put her head close to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The daughter of the people asks to see His Highness Prince Ling."
The officers and soldiers gathered around like hungry wolves, forming a circle. Their glinting spear points were all pointed at the woman, with murderous intent. After all, the noble Prince Ling is here. If there is an accident, no one will survive. Her Majesty the Queen
They will be cut into pieces by a thousand swords, so there is no room for carelessness. If the opponent makes the slightest move, all the spears will stab them without hesitation and finish them off.
A group of officials were also quite surprised. They were afraid that King Ling would make a mistake. Lord Shangshu said: "Your Highness, don't pay attention to this woman. She is probably not a good person. She is waiting here in the middle of the night. It is inevitable that she has evil intentions. I will take strict measures against you."
Interrogate her, find out her origins, and report to you as soon as possible."
Qiu Yu felt that the woman's voice was somewhat familiar, so he shook his head and said, "No need, I want to see who it is." He strode over and walked over.
The officials didn't know what to say and quickly followed behind. Their eyes were full of vigilance and they were ready to take action. If the woman really attacked as an assassin, they would stop it.
When he came closer, Qiu Yu first asked the guard to get out of the way. When he saw the graceful outline of the woman's back, he thought of a person who had been hanging out among the flowers for a long time. This kid had developed a unique skill that no one else had. He was almost obsessed with beautiful women.
He had a photographic memory of his figure and had an impression. He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
