Chapter 152 Assassinate the King of Koryo Again (12)
Yan Shoufeng gritted his teeth and said to Pudu: "Zhang Laosi, we were enemies in the past life and enemies in this life. You came at the right time today. You will die!" As he said that, he stabbed him with his sword.
While dodging and parrying, Pudu recited the Dharma chant and said: "Amitabha, Yanshou Peak, you have committed many sins. I will get rid of you, this great evil, for all sentient beings today."
The enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, and both of them want to kill each other quickly. However, their martial arts skills are between the two, and it is not easy for anyone to kill the other.
Mou Ying's tiger-headed sword had just been kicked away by Yan Shoufeng, and he had to retrieve it. After searching, he found that the west side had also been hit. The opponent was his son Hetian Ergen. He saw that the tiger-headed sword was in Ding Nanyue's hand.
, walked over and stretched out his hand: "Boy, bring me the knife."
Ding Nanyue was afraid of Mou Ying, so he instinctively stepped back and said, "It's not that easy to want a knife."
Mou Ying sneered and said, "You can't help but refuse to give it." Then he stepped forward to grab the knife.
Ding Nanyue knew that he was not his opponent, so he shouted "shoulder to shoulder! Arrange the formation!" The four swordsmen of Hengshan swarmed up and stood on one side each in the southeast, northwest and northwest. They set up a four-peak sword formation, surrounded Mou Ying, and joined forces to attack. The Hengshan faction not only has five peaks.
and the Four Peaks Sword Formation, as well as the Double Peaks and Three Peaks Sword Formations.
If Mou Ying had someone in his hands, breaking the Four Peaks Sword Formation would be as easy as playing, but he doesn't have someone in his hands, and he doesn't have any great boxing or kicking skills, so it's not easy to deal with it.
Yang Huan saw that Mou Ying was trapped in the sword formation and was fighting very hard. He wanted to rescue Mou Ying. Although he was immobilized and could not move, he still had guards under his command. These guards could charge into the battle for him.
. Then he pointed at Mou Ying and shouted: "Hurry up and help the old hero relieve the siege."
More than 200 guards attacked each of them and rushed over in a swarm, starting a melee. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen guards fell in a pool of blood. Mou Ying leaned over and picked up a waist knife from the body, although this knife was not as good as the Xiuchun Dao.
, it is not as good as the Tiger Head Sword, making it less convenient, but it is more than enough to deal with the Four Swordsmen of Hengshan.
When Ding Nanyue saw that Mou Ying had a knife in his hand, his heart trembled. He did not dare to fight any more. If he fought again, he would be seeking death. He shouted, "Old Mou, where is your knife?" and threw the tiger-headed knife to the north.
Lao Yuan then shouted to the other three people: "Don't fight with this old guy, we are not opponents, go and hide in the room." After saying that, he jumped up to the east hall, and the other three people jumped up soon after.
The four of them stood on the roof and watched the battle.
Mou Ying ran over and picked up the tiger head knife, returned to help his son, and attacked Tian Ergen together. At this time, Tian Ergen had already shown his defeat. Even if Mou Ying did not join the battle, he would not be able to survive for long. Mou Ying joined in.
, Tian Ergen didn't dare to fight anymore, and shot several fireballs at Mou and his son. When they were dodging, he wiped his head and ran away. When he saw his four junior brothers standing in the east hall, he also jumped up.
Mou Ying invited his son to come with him to help Pudu. Yan Shoufeng originally wanted to have a life-and-death showdown with Pudu, but he didn't expect Mou and his son to join in. He struggled to defeat Pudu alone, and was unable to fight against the three of them, so he could only go for the thirty-sixth strategy.
He ran away. Pudu shouted, "Where are we going!" and chased after him. Mou and his son also chased after him.
Tian Ergeng and others did not dare to escape in one direction with Yan Shoufeng, but fled in the other direction.
Pudu chased out of the palace and saw Yan Shoufeng getting into an alley. When he chased him into the alley, he looked for Yan Shoufeng again, but there was no trace of him. He stamped his feet in anger and made a big hole in the ground. Mou and his son chased after him, and Mou Ying asked: "Fourth brother
, where is Yanshou Peak?”
Pudu sighed and said, "Let this evil thief escape!"
On this day, Yan Shoufeng returned to the Dongchang Office and sat in the Zhongyi Pavilion. Tian Ergen asked: "Father, what should we do next?"
Yan Shoufeng asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Tian Ergen thought for a while and said: "Mou Ying and Pu Du are in Korea, and perhaps Wu Kunshan has arrived at this time. With them here, it will be difficult for us to attack the King of Korea. We can only find a way to deal with Pang Yuchun."
Yan Shoufeng said: "Are you sure you can pry open Pang Yuchun's mouth?"
Tian Ergeng said: "We have no other choice. We can pry it open even if it cannot be pried open. I want to try it."
Yan Shoufeng said: "Go and do it."
Pang Yuchun stayed in the secret room in Yanshoufeng's house. The secret room was not big, it was a basement, and could accommodate a single bed and a pair of tables and chairs. He had lived in this dark secret room for more than four months, almost five years ago.
For months, Yan Shoufeng has always avoided seeing him. Every day, Tian Ergeng comes over with a food box to deliver meals.
The door of the secret room opened, and Tian Ergen walked in with a lantern. He saw that there was no light inside, and Pang Yuchun was lying on the bed curled up with his back to the door, covered with a quilt. Every time he came, Pang Yuchun would lie on the bed, big and small.
Most of the time I just lay down and didn't fall asleep.
When Pang Yuchun heard the noise, he turned over and sat by the bed. Seeing that Tian Ergeng's visit this time was different from usual, and he didn't carry a food box in his hand, he asked, "Aren't you here to bring me food?"
Tian Ergeng said: "This time it's not for delivering food, it's for something else."
Pang Yuchun asked: "Does Mr. Yan Chang want to see me?"
Tian Ergeng said: "No."
Pang Yuchun said: "Why is that?"
Tian Ergeng said: "I want to persuade you to hand over the medicine."
Pang Yuchun said: "I have said it many times, as long as you put the head of the King of Korea in front of me, I will hand over the medicine immediately."
Tian Ergeng said: "I have said many times that to get rid of the King of Goryeo, we need to take a long-term approach and we cannot act too hastily. Haste makes waste."
Pang Yuchun said: "No matter what you say, if I can't see the head of the King of Korea, I won't hand over the medicine no matter what."
Tian Ergeng said: "In this case, we can only change the place to talk." As he said this, he walked to Pang Yunchun.
Pang Yuchun stood from the bedside to the ground and said, "Where are you taking me?"
Tian Ergeng said: "You will know later." As he spoke, he hit Pang Yuchun's large and mute points, making him unable to move or make any sound. Then he took out a black cloth bag from his lower back and put him in it.
Go in, tie the bag, carry the bag out of the secret room, and come to the dungeon compound.
Along the way, everyone in the East Factory saw Tian Ergen carrying a black bag, and no one knew what was inside. Tian Ergen was afraid that Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears would be in the East Factory, so he acted very cautiously.
The main room of the dungeon compound is a hall. There are stone steps leading to the basement in the northeast and northwest corners. There is only one torture room below the northeast corner. There is a dungeon below the northwest corner with ten cells.
Tian Ergeng carried the sack and walked into the main room. There were two chairs in front of the stone steps in the northeast corner. Sitting on them were Wu Xiang, the purple-covered swordsman, and Li Fudi, the Yuelu swordsman.
Tian Ergen walked over and said: "The fourth and fifth brothers must be under my watch. No one can put them in without my order."
Wu Xiang said: "Leave it to us two, you can rest assured."
Tian Er went down the stone steps and opened the iron door of the torture chamber. He saw Ding Nanyue, the swordsman of Tianzhu, and Xiao Heng, swordsman of Shilin, waiting here. It was just them and no one else. He walked in, closed the door, bolted it, and unloaded it.
There are no windows in the room, so don't worry about the ears outside. There are more than a dozen torches stuck on the wall, shining like daylight.
Tian Ergeng untied the bag, rolled down the bag, exposed Pang Yuchun, and opened his acupuncture points.
Pang Yuchun stood up, stepped out of the cloth bag, stood aside, looked around, and saw many torture instruments scattered in the room. He already guessed where he was, but he asked knowingly: "Master Tian, where are you?"
Tian Ergeng said: "The torture chamber in Dongchang."
Pang Yuchun sneered: "Master Tian, what is your purpose in bringing me here?"
Tian Ergeng said: "I want you to hand over the medicine."
Pang Yuchun snorted and said, "Do you think I can hand over the medicine when I get here? If you think so, you are totally wrong."
Tian Ergeng said: "It's better to hand it over, so as not to hurt your flesh and blood."
"Ha..." Pang Yuchun sneered, "Even if you peel my skin and cramp my tendons, you still can't get the medicine."
Tian Ergeng said: "Then I have been offended." He said to Ding Nanyue and Xiao Heng: "Tie him up and give him twenty whips first to see if he surrenders."
There is a wooden stand used for whipping. It consists of three logs. Two logs as thick as the mouth of a basin stand upright on the ground. They are about as long as the arm span of an ordinary person. One log is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
It is fixed horizontally and vertically on the other two logs. The height from the ground is about the height from the shoulder to the ground of an ordinary person when standing upright.
Pang Yuchun stretched his arms to the left and right, and tied his wrists to the crossbar of the wooden frame, preparing to be whipped. Xiao Heng was the youngest among the three people in the room, so he could only do the physical work of execution. The whip was more lethal after it passed the water.
Xiao Heng held the power in his palm and pumped it according to Pang Yuchun.
Xiao Heng was a martial artist and had a lot of skills. With one whip, Pang Yuchun's skin and flesh were torn apart. After twenty whips, Pang Yuchun was scarred and almost fainted from the pain. Although it was very painful, Pang Yuchun gritted his teeth and did not say a word.
throat.
Xiao Heng put away his whip, and Tian Ergen asked: "Pang Yuchun, do you want to hand over your hand this time?"
"Hmph..." Pang Yuchun sneered, "I won't give the medicine to you until I see the head of the King of Korea. You want to get the medicine by torture. This is a wishful thinking. I advise you to give up.
Well, even if I die, I will not hand over the medicine to you in vain."
Tian Ergeng said: "Twenty lashes are just an appetizer, the feast is yet to come. Dongchang's torture tools are not vegetarian. Even a man with steel and iron bones can't survive it, let alone you. Since you insist on
If you endure hardship, I will help you." He said to Xiao Heng, "I will serve you with iron sticks and nails."
Xiao Heng brought an iron pick about five inches long and about the thickness of a mung bean. The head of the pick was pointed and very sharp. He walked over and pinched the base of Pang Yuchun's right index finger with two fingers of one hand to prevent the finger from breaking.
Move around and hold it in place. With the other hand, take an iron skewer and pierce it through the pads of your fingers. After it penetrates, the tip of the skewer comes out from the back of your fingers.
The pain was so intense that Pang Yuchun couldn't bear it and screamed. He wanted to grit his teeth and keep silent, but he couldn't do it.
