After marrying a sickly and powerful official, Jiaojiao cries every day

Qi Jiuzhu lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully, "She has another condition."

Hearing this, Feng Qiwu's eyes flickered with joy and anger, "What are the conditions?"

He's just a prisoner, yet you dare to make demands to him.

Qi Jiuzhu paused for a moment, then observed her expression and said, "She said that she cannot make the decision on this matter, and needs to trouble the master to go, so she can tell the whole matter with peace of mind."

Feng Qiwu was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said lightly, "There are many things."

Just a few words were filled with pressure. The atmosphere in the dungeon suddenly dropped, and it was like a freezing cold wind that chilled the bones.

Qi Jiuzhu didn't dare to guess what his master meant. His head drooped even lower and he felt a chill down his spine.

"Since you were specifically asked to go, you might as well go over and take a look. I'm really curious as well." Wen Ranyan ignored the sudden chill and stood up with a sweet smile.

Since it was a request under severe punishment, it must be related to her own life. She knew it clearly. The only thing she was curious about was what Feng Qiwu would do, whether to kill him or let him go. It was really intriguing.

Seeing that she was very interested, Feng Qiwu didn't want to disturb her, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and listen."

The three of them went to the next cell together.

As soon as I stepped in, the smell of blood hit me in the face.

Liu Se was bound by iron chains and imprisoned on a wooden stake. There were bloodstains from being whipped all over the place. Her flesh and blood were muddy and her bones were visible. She looked so miserable and no longer had the enchanting grace she had when they first met. If it weren't for the beating of her heart and the continued breathing, she would have looked like death.

Wen Ranyan just took a quick look, then walked over and sat down on the chair, looking lazy.

"What do you want?"

Feng Qiwu approached slowly, looking at the dying willows with a gloomy gaze.

Hearing a clear male voice, Liu Se's eyes fell on a pair of black-bottomed dragon-patterned pointed-toe boots. Her heart trembled slightly and she raised her head with difficulty.

At just one glance, she met his deep and solemn black eyes. There was a hint of smile in the depths of his eyes, which made Liu Se's scalp tingle and her heart was filled with fear and shock.

After calming down for a few moments, she spoke with difficulty: "If I tell you the final destination of this batch of arms, can you promise to spare my life?"

It was not until the moment she was imprisoned in the dungeon that she learned of Feng Qiwu's identity, the former Beilang God of War and now the new Beilang Emperor who had ascended the throne.

He was a vindictive, cruel, ruthless, and extremely clever person who even dared to lay his hands on the throne. She, the owner of Julefang, could be killed in the blink of an eye by him. She was really scared.

"Of course." Feng Qiwu looked at her and said with a half-smile, "If you tell me everything, I promise that I won't punish you with the long whip again."

Upon hearing the voice, Wen Ranyan glanced at Feng Qiwu subconsciously. Perhaps she heard the hidden meaning in his words and saw through his cunning, and suddenly she smiled deeply and tenderly.

Liu Se was stunned and eager to verify, "Really?"

Feng Qiwu curved her lips, her eyes were unfathomable: "You are not joking."

Perhaps because of this sentence, Liu Se felt more at ease, but the pain in her body made it difficult for her to think more. After a moment of silence, she said intermittently: "The employer wanted to send this batch of arms to Yizhou. We refused at first, but the employer was so generous that we were tempted."

"Yizhou?" Feng Qiwu repeated these two words in his mind. Perhaps this answer was not to his liking. His dark eyes flashed with light and darkness.

This changeable mood, and the difficulty in distinguishing his joy and anger, made Liu Se extremely frightened.

Feng Qiwu was silent for a few moments before looking at Liu Se again and asked in a cold and chilling voice, "Who is the employer?"

Liu Se met his dark eyes, and for a moment she felt a chill penetrate her bones, and her breathing stagnated. "The employer is wearing black clothes and a mask, and he is intentionally hiding his identity, so we have no way to investigate. Besides, Julefang only does things for money, and doesn't care much about the employer's identity."

"Then I don't know." Feng Qiwu turned his back, with a lack of interest on his face.

In his eyes, Liu Se instantly became a worthless thing, and life or death depended entirely on his thoughts.

Looking at his solemn and slender back, Liu Se felt alarm bells going off in her heart for some reason.

Her face turned pale and she spoke anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have said everything I can. You will not break your promise, right?"

"Of course, I'm not kidding." Feng Qiwu looked back, with a hint of impatience on his face, and then he glanced at Qi Jiuzhu, "Give her a quick death."

The cold and indifferent voice was like a jade cup shattered to pieces, and in its sternness was an attitude of contempt for life and death and plunder. Even if it concealed murderous intent, it was a gift from the superior to the ants.

Qi Jiuzhu took the order and went there with sword in hand.

Her face was as white as frost, and she didn't know where she got the strength from. The chains clanged as she struggled, and her voice was hoarse but sharp.

"You lied to me. You said you wouldn't kill me—"

Feng Qiwu paused for a moment, the loneliness and coldness of the dungeon reflected in his eyes. There was a sinister luster in his dark eyes that was captivating, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura, which made people almost breathless.

He just watched Liu Se's useless struggle, and when he had admired her enough, he laughed jokingly, "I only promised that the whip would not fall again, but I never said whether it was life or death. You said I lied to you, but how did I lie to you?"

If he dies, the whip won’t fall anymore, right?

After hearing this, Liu Se's eyes suddenly widened. Only then did she realize that Feng Qiwu had tricked her and he had never intended to let her go from the beginning.

Originally, she still had some value if she kept silent, but now that all the words had been revealed, she was like a candle burning in a dungeon, which would be gone in an instant.

"bang bang bang-"

The sound of the chains struggling became more and more intense, but in a moment, the sound of the sword penetrating into the flesh echoed in Feng Qiwu's ears, and the rustling sound of the chains struggling gradually became lighter.

Liu Se died, a sword pierced his heart, a death that could not be more dead.

Feng Qiwu never looked back, he was just an insignificant person.

He flicked his sleeves and walked towards Wen Ranyan, his embroidered red robe trailing on the ground, his black hair draped over his shoulders was stained with the mottled candlelight, the imposing aura on his body disappeared, and he suddenly looked like a charming and colorful mural.

As he walked towards us step by step, his beautiful face, hidden in the brilliant light, instantly captured people's hearts.

"What are you looking at?" Feng Qiwu leaned down and saw that Wen Ranyan's eyes were not on him, and his brows couldn't help but fade a little.

Wen Ranyan casually replied, "I'm looking at the map."

This map was what she had asked the jailer to bring just now. It depicted the topography of Beilang, including cities, towns, and even mountains and rivers. In simple terms, it was a map.

"What are you looking at it for?" Feng Qiwu's hand fell down and covered the back of her hand.

Two pairs of hands as white as jade were clasped together, and for a moment there was an indescribable ambiguity and tenderness.

"See where Yizhou is."

Wen Ranyan raised her head, the candlelight illuminated her delicate face, which had an indescribable softness and haziness, and was extremely entangled.

Feng Qiwu played with a golden bell on her waist, then rubbed it on her slender waist, and said in a hazy voice, "Did you see anything?"

The arms seized from Julefang were transported to Yizhou. At first glance, it seemed that they had nothing to do with Prince Yongqing of Liangzhou.

He could not help but glance at the map. Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in his dark eyes, rising and falling, unfathomable.

Wen Ranyan looked back and also looked at him with a deep smile.

She said slowly, "Yizhou and Liangzhou are adjacent to each other."
