It was just the question itself that made him hesitate inexplicably.
He added subconsciously, "Now that wars are going on, how can we care about our children's personal relationships?"
Xia Baying smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't blame me for speaking directly. Looking at each other across thousands of mountains is not as good as being with each other day and night. What I fear most is falling in love over time."
Before Lin Yi could speak, Xia Baying said seriously: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid that you and Bai Yuelu will fall in love with each other, but I'm afraid that you will have too much affection for Xiao Shufei, and your affection will be stronger than gold.
The Xiao family wants you to be their son-in-law, but the price is to obey the Xiao family's wishes. This is what worries me the most."
When Lin Yi heard these words, he became relaxed and said: "I never succumbed to the Xiao family's wishes back then, and I won't do it now. Xiao Shufei also knows my temper very well, and she absolutely can't."
Let myself or my marriage become a condition for the Xiao family to blackmail me."
"I often hear people say that women in the Southern Dynasty and Northern Wei Dynasty are weak, but after meeting these people in your army and listening to the deeds of those women you mentioned, I know that this is not the case." Xia Baying took a deep look.
Lin Yi said: "It's just that you are really lucky to meet these strange women."
Lin Yi glanced at Xia Ba Ying with a strange expression, wondering if this sentence could be regarded as an element of Xia Ba Ying's boasting?
Northern Wei Dynasty, Luoyang.
There was the sound of horse hooves again all night.
During these days, not only the city guards and the imperial army were searching Luoyang City all night long, but even the remnants of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying's Bone Army had been transferred to the capital, blocking all roads outside the capital.
mouth.
All the people and officials in the city were in shock and disbelief for days, and finally determined the fact that the eldest princess had rebelled.
The eldest princess actually colluded with the generals of the Southern Dynasty, and she was probably Lin Yi of Tie Ce Army.
The Battle of Zhongli was a nightmare for everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Originally, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was victorious before the Battle of Zhongli, but after the Battle of Zhongli, they were defeated one after another. The losses on the front line caused the price of food to rise rapidly. However, for families who have not lost their loved ones, it is just
Maybe those who were able to eat well at first may starve later, but in Luoyang alone, how many families lost their fathers, husbands, and sons because of this war?
For these people, it was just that the eldest princess rebelled, but it was Lin Yi who colluded with him. While many people were angry to the point of despair, they also inevitably thought that maybe it was because of the betrayal of the eldest princess Yuan Yan, so
Only in the Battle of Zhongli would there be a huge defeat. Otherwise, with the strength of the Southern general and thousands of troops,
How could it withstand hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei troops?
They wished they could catch Yuan Yan, peel off his skin, eat his flesh, and gnaw his bones.
However, after many days of continuous searching, they still could not find any trace of Yuan Yan who had escaped from the palace. What made them even more shocked and unbelievable was that General Yang Dian was not dead, but he and Zhongshan Wang Yuanying suddenly entered the palace against the holy will.
Palace, so he, Yuan Ying, and many generals who violated the holy will and acted without authorization on the day Yuan Yan escaped from the palace were all dismissed from their posts and investigated, and their military power was taken away.
The Bone Army under their control was all taken over by Cai Sheng, the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Some practitioners in the White Bone Army are far more powerful than those in the City Guards. In the past few days, they have cooperated with the City Guards to arrest many people in the city, but only the high-ranking generals in the White Bones Army know that they have been arrested.
Among the many people, some of them were Yuan Yan's people and were just forced to arrest them, but more of them were people related to the Demon Sect.
In this manhunt that makes the city of Luoyang buzz with the sound of horse hooves day and night, what they really want to arrest are the people of the Demon Sect.
Those who were determined to work for the Demon Sect were sent to Luoyang Water Prison.
The depths of Luoyang Water Prison.
In a dark stone room, the filthy murky water was like sewer water, and the rancid smell was disgusting.
An iron cage was placed in waist-deep water.
Each arm-thick iron rod that makes up the iron cage has densely packed sharp thorns, and these sharp thorns are all heading towards the center of the iron cage.
The person in the center of the iron cage was already a bloody mess. However, under the threat of the dense thorns, the person in the center of the iron cage could only turn around slightly. He could neither lie down, sit, or even stand up straight. He could only stand up straight.
Able to bend slightly and stand in this iron cage.
Even if you are a practitioner, standing in this posture for an hour may already feel like life is worse than death. What's more, half of the body of the person standing in this cage is still in the sewage, and the true energy in her body has been destroyed.
Press clean.
The man in the cage is Helan Heiyun.
Her clothes had turned into fragments clinging to her body, and there were few intact areas on her skin.
Under the torture day and night, she couldn't remember how many times she had fainted. Her spirit was even a little trance-like, and sometimes she even felt like she was dead.
She often fainted due to the excessive pain, then fell down on those sharp thorns, and woke up again due to severe pain.
Compared with the pain of being stabbed by a sharp object, standing in this position for a long time caused the extreme soreness, swelling and numbness in her bones and meridians, which was even more unbearable.
Every time she wakes up, there are always two faint eyes watching her
she.
Opposite the iron cage, there is a stone platform.
There is an iron chair on the stone platform, and Xiao Donghuang is sitting on the iron chair.
"I really admire you."
Xiao Donghuang looked at her waking up again and said: "No one has ever been able to last twelve hours in such a thorn cage, not even those ascetics in Mobei. No matter what, they reminded that the physical body is just a skin that has nothing to do with the spiritual will.
, but they still can't bear the pain in their flesh and blood. You are the only person I have ever seen in such a cell for more than twenty-four hours."
Helan Heiyun said nothing.
She was no longer human, she was unable to speak, and her physical strength had long exceeded its limit. Just because of the cage itself, her body seemed to be forcibly bent into a bow. It was the subconsciousness produced by the body's pain that kept her
With such a balance, if she opened her mouth to speak, she would probably be unable to maintain this posture again, and would be in severe contact with those sharp thorns again.
"Sometimes human life is very fragile, but sometimes it is very powerful. You will not die easily despite such torture. Looking at you, it seems that you will die at any time, but it may last for a long time. I am a little curious,
How much longer can you hold on before you die?"
Xiao Donghuang looked at her indifferently, and continued quietly: "But what are you insisting on? You are from the Demon Sect. You are to the Demon Sect, just like Yuan Yan is to the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Many information about the Demon Sect comes from
In your hands, of course you should know what a crazy person I am, and you should know that I can torture a person for several months."
"These twenty-odd hours are probably a long time for you, but you have never wanted to commit suicide even once."
Xiao Donghuang looked into her eyes and suddenly laughed cruelly.
It is indeed crazy that he can use words like crazy to describe himself.
"This shows that you always firmly believe that the Demon Sect will come to save you and will use more cruel methods to deal with me and avenge you. The more suffering you endure, the happier you will be when you look at me."
"It's just a pity that he is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his own goals. There is no one he cannot sacrifice."
"I am torturing you here, and the information is not blocked. With his ability, he should easily know what I am torturing you every day."
"But I can bet you that he will never risk saving you."
Helan Heiyun laughed fiercely after hearing these words from Xiao Donghuang.
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
She just said these few words, and she lost her balance. She heard the sound of her flesh and blood being pierced again, and then she passed out again.
