The pain coming from the various wounds made the man in black couldn't help but frown.
In just a short moment, the pain from the wound became even worse. It soon overshadowed the pain of being scratched, and was replaced by a burning pain, as if a fire was burning the flesh and blood in the wounds!
"What is this, lime powder..." he asked through gritted teeth, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Xu Mingyi did not answer his words. He only watched the man in black who was originally willing to die unyielding. Veins on his forehead bulged under the unbearable pain. His face soon broke out in cold sweat, and he began to struggle violently.
"Bang!"
As the man in black struggled, the wooden box behind him was overturned, and both the man and the box fell sideways to the ground.
"Kill me...!"
The man in black's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
"What you feel now is just the beginning." The girl said with an indifferent expression: "After a cup of tea, the toxicity spreads to the whole body, and the internal organs seem to be burned away bit by bit. That is the real pain -
"
This is just the beginning?!
Listening to this description, fear finally appeared in the eyes of the man in black.
At this moment, for him, what hurt him more than the pain itself was the huge and unknown fear waiting for him.
Seeing the distorted expression of the man in black, Duke Zhen Guo felt very complicated.
His granddaughter is capable, and he knows it.
But now it seems that he still knows too little.
With such a frightening method to look at, when it comes to interrogation and extorting confessions, what else is there about being imprisoned?
Thinking of this, Duke Zhen Guo looked at the young man aside with some hesitation.
In his sight, the young man stood there with a particularly calm expression, as if he didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
The Duke of Zhenguo felt relieved silently.
very good.
Stable.
"I don't take pleasure in torturing people, I just want to get the answers I want. If you are willing to tell me now, you still have time to get happy."
Seeing the reason in the eyes of the man in black gradually being swallowed up by pain, Xu Mingyi spoke up again at the right time.
"I...said..."
The man in black said with difficulty: "People have always been...in Quanhe Mountain..."
His stance is different from that of ordinary people in the Purple Star Sect. Now that he is facing such pain and fear, the first thing that comes to his mind is to bring this matter up.
"Where in the mountains!" Duke Zhenguo asked immediately.
"Inside a cave to the north... In front of the cave, there are shrubs and boulders covering it... The rocks outside the cave are shaped like pines and cypresses, so it's not difficult to identify..."
"I'll go first!"
After writing down this clue, Zhen Guogong didn't hesitate for a moment, turned around and strode out of the compartment.
When Xu Mingyi was about to follow, Wu Chao stepped forward and asked the man in black: "Since you know so clearly, why did you refuse to reveal even a word in the first place?"
Don't tell him that he would rather die than compromise. At the scene of the assassination just now? The assassin who was controlled by the Duke of Zhen? He clearly had the idea of making a "deal" with the Duke of Zhen, and if Mingshi was really in their hands
? Then these people must have reached a consensus before taking action.
So? Why did the person in front of me clearly have the opportunity to talk to the Duke of Zhen alone? But he insisted before that he didn’t know anything?
He is not interested in the other party's changes in his thoughts at all. He is not chatting with the other party now, but since the abnormality exists, he needs to find out? It can also be used to judge whether the answer given by the other party is suspected of lying and setting up a trap——
"... Before we took action? It was already agreed... If it succeeds, Young Master Xu will be silenced... If it fails, depending on the situation, the other party can be used as a bargaining chip to escape and save his life."
The man in black said with a trembling voice: "But Brother Liu has been killed by Feiyun's knife, and no one is in charge of the situation now? No one can go back to deliver the message, and there is no possibility of a smooth transaction... What's more? Based on my situation at this time, it is simply impossible."
There is no room for negotiation with the Duke of Zhen... Even if you say it, you will die!"
"It's better... to use the death of Young Master Xu to create a rift between the Dog Emperor and the Duke of Zhen!"
Did he also see it tonight? The Dog Emperor doesn't care about the life of Young Master Xu.
If you can use this matter to make the emperor and his ministers alienate? Why not!
"If things fail? And no one goes back to send a message, and the plan to use him as a bargaining chip cannot be carried out, what will you do?" Xu Mingyi asked in a condensed voice with cold eyes.
"I don't know..." The man in black moved his mouth with difficulty, as if with a hint of sarcasm: "But in this situation...a useless bargaining chip is just a drag on escaping...maybe already dead at this time.
Already..."
In an instant, Xu Mingyi felt cold from head to feet.
"I've said everything I know...just give me a break...!" The man in black closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth.
Xu Mingyi had already turned around and ran out quickly.
"Sir, how should we deal with this person?" the attendant asked in a low voice.
"Look at it first, it's still useful."
Wu Chao left a word and immediately followed Xu Mingyi.
The two of them took Ah Zhu and Xiao Qi on horseback and rushed into the mountain. Because Ah Zhu had a vague impression of the cave, they went straight there, saving a lot of time.
After jumping off the horse, Zhen Guo Gong also led people to look for him.
"It should be right here."
The bushes were pushed aside, and Wu Chao looked at the blocking boulder and said.
Because there are shrubs and boulders covered with vines and grass blocking the entrance of the cave, it is not easy to find that there is a cave here from the outside.
"let me!"
Duke Zhen Guo strode across the bushes to move the boulder.
Qin Wu, Wu Chao, Xiaoqi and others also stepped forward immediately.
With the combined efforts of everyone, the huge boulder that had been placed here for a long time was moved to create a gap for one person to pass through.
Duke Zhen Guo bent down and walked in first.
Wu Chao turned sideways and put his hands on the eaves of the cave where there were rugged rocks and fallen debris. After protecting Xu Mingyi from entering, he followed her into the cave.
The space inside the cave was low and narrow at first, and people could not stand up completely to walk. After walking five or six steps inside, it gradually opened up.
What follows is the traces and atmosphere of someone's activities here.
At this time, Duke Zhen Guo, who was walking in front, stopped and seemed to be listening attentively to something.
Soon Xu Mingyi also heard it.
The sound of someone speaking...
Just ahead!
After a moment's pause for confirmation, the group quickened their pace.
The voice became clearer and clearer.
"Hall Master Liu still hasn't come back...and there's no sound of arrows! This must mean the matter has failed!"
"Then what should we do? Continue to stay here?"
"Stay here to wait for death! Soon, according to Emperor Gou's virtue, the imperial army will definitely come to search the mountain... Although this place is hidden, it cannot withstand a search that digs three feet into the ground!"
