In the middle of the night, I went to the capital and visited the time-honored Ruyi Buzhuang.

The desolate moonlight shone on the courtyard behind the shop. Several men in ordinary clothes were scattered in various corners of the courtyard groaning in pain. Some had broken legs, some had broken arms, some were covering their abdomens, and some were supporting their waists. Although they The tragic scenes are different, but the postures are surprisingly consistent. They are all facing the same direction, showing a kneeling posture.

Zhuo Lingchu leaned lazily on the back of the chair, holding the black iron mask in his left hand and placing it casually on the armrest of the chair. He swayed the sword in his hand with his right wrist, letting the sharp cold light strike the kneeling person in pain. The ferocious faces made them tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

Chu Yi stood next to Zhuo Lingchu, looking coldly at the group of people on the ground, "Follow the wind and go with the flow. You wallflowers, please open your eyes and see clearly who is the master you should be loyal to!"

One person was slightly injured. He held his broken arm with one hand, touched his head heavily to the ground, raised his head respectfully and said loudly: "It's His Highness, the Second Highness. Our master is only Your Highness!"

Others scattered in the courtyard immediately endured the pain and echoed: "I swear to be loyal to His Highness the Second Highness to the death!"

Zhuo Lingchu's lowered eyes finally moved, and he looked at the person who spoke at the beginning, "Chen Wu, the shopkeeper of the western Jingxi stronghold, the spy who I personally developed when I first arrived in Dashuo. When Zhuo Taining came to the capital, you I personally handed over the list of spies who came to the capital to help him quickly take over the capital's Buzhuang." Zhuo Lingchu raised the sword in his hand, "Chen Wu, is this palace right?"

Although the young man's voice is lazy and uninhibited, it is loud, clear and powerful. It reminds people of the soaring eagle in the sky. He is the proud son of heaven who is born to look down on all living things.Thinking back to his illustrious achievements in Beixiang Kingdom not long ago, and his reputation as the "God of War" that has become famous all over the world, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the second prince of Xichang is really a rare and unparalleled talent in the world.

Admiration, fear, and awe were all intertwined. Chen Wu couldn't help but tremble with his legs. Cold sweat broke out on his back, "Second Palace, Your Highness, I have no choice. Your Highness came with an imperial edict to take over Ruyi Buzhuang. How can you not obey His Majesty's will? Although I feel aggrieved for His Highness, I can only act according to His Majesty's request..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi, who hates traitors the most, immediately raised the whip in his hand. A sharp sound broke through the air to cover up Chen Wu's exclamation, and the fierce iron whip fell on the ground beside him. , and in an instant, waves of dust and mud were raised, shocking everyone in the courtyard to tremble with fear.

Chen Wu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, looking up at the kid who was no higher than his chest a few years ago with a pale face, and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Chu Yi said fiercely: "Traitor! Your Highness is kind, and I remember that you have been loyal and gave you opportunities, but you didn't cherish them. You actually threw 'smoke bombs' at us, causing us to rush to the north all night. When we arrived, The place was attacked. If His Highness hadn't been prepared in advance, we would have been damaged or injured this time. Chen Wu, you are really Zhuo Taining's good dog!"

Chen Wu trembled and knelt in the direction of Zhuo Lingchu, his voice was hoarse and tears were streaming down his face, "Your Highness, I swear to God, the news I heard is that the seal was placed in the northern stronghold by the eldest prince. I will never deceive you, the sky is clear, Your Highness!"

Chu Yi stepped forward and kicked Chen Wu to the ground, "Traitor! How dare you talk nonsense in front of His Highness? You are the one who colluded to deceive His Highness!"

"On the first day of the new year," Zhuo Lingchu said quietly after watching enough of the show, "Kill him."

Chen Wu's eyes widened in shock and his body was shaking like chaff. He still had the same arrogant look he usually had when he was sitting in Buzhuang.Before he could say "Your Highness", his neck was tightly wrapped around Chu Yi's iron whip that seemed to be tempered with ice and had a biting coldness.

Seeing that the face of the person hit by the whip was ashen and his eyes were as big as a bucket, the image was extremely frightening. Chu Sheng was afraid of staining his master's eyes, so he quickly gave Chen Wu a good blow.With a little force on his fingertips, he heard a crisp "click" sound, and the man shackled by the iron whip lowered his eyes and fell limply to the ground.

This horrifying scene made everyone kneeling in the courtyard forget to breathe for a moment. The second prince had always been so merciful, why did he kill him so easily now?Bai Kaiji, who was watching silently, ran to the corner and vomited. His endless appetite made him regret it.

No wonder his uncle never lets him participate in such occasions. Today, he blames him for being too willful. Next time eight people carry him in a sedan chair, he won't come. He'd better stay in the backyard of his village and be his logistics doctor!

After a moment of silence, a person kneeling in the corner of the courtyard suddenly burst into tears, "Your Highness! Taking you to the Northland stronghold is what His Highness asked his subordinates to do. I have no other choice but to follow the master's instructions." Here you go, for the sake of your loyalty to the royal family, please spare your life, your highness!"

Then everyone kneeling in the courtyard wailed in response, "That's it, Your Highness, please spare the life of this subordinate!"

Chu Yi was so noisy that he picked his ears, turned to look at his master, and saw that his cold and handsome face raised his eyebrows slightly at him. Chu Yi immediately turned around and said, "Who knows, what is the black jade seal?" Where is it hidden? Who controls it?"

One person immediately responded: "The sky is clear, the seal has been brought back to Xichang by the eldest prince!"

The whistling sound of the iron whip piercing the air was heard, and the man died instantly.

"The sky is clear, the sky is clear, the sky should strike down with a thunderbolt, you traitors who are good at lying! My master used his illustrious military exploits to gain control of the Dashuo Secret Network, and he doesn't want to raise you losers who serve two masters anymore. , tell me quickly, where is the seal hidden!"

The sound of iron whips hitting the bluestone slabs, the crackling of air and the sound of metal hitting stone struck the hearts of everyone present, making their scalps numb and their bodies stiff.The peaceful courtyard in the past has now become a purgatory on earth.

In the secret edict written by Emperor Xichang to Zhuo Taining, he clearly asked him to return the seal of control of Dashuo Secret Network to Zhuo Lingchu.The people Zhuo Lingchu left in Xichang have confirmed that Zhuo Taining did not bring the seal back.

With Zhuo Taining's tendency to destroy things if he doesn't get them, Zhuo Lingchu had already expected that he would do something secretly.He not only laid mines for Zhuo Lingchu in various strongholds in Dashuo, but also hid the black jade seal in unknown places. He really didn't want Zhuo Lingchu to have an easy time.

Zhuo Lingchu lowered his eyes. At present, he had put in countless efforts to build a spy network all over Dashuo. Although it seemed to be impregnable due to his prestige, without his black jade seal, it would be troubled by rat droppings. To be disintegrated and out of control.

If it was really destroyed, he would have no worries, but the fact is that they have followed the orders left by Zhuo Taining and sold poisonous cloth in the name of Ruyi Cloth Village to harm the people of Dashuo.
