It was freezing cold in the north in early December, and the north wind was blowing. After a while, people were like popsicles.

Ling Shen forgot his outer robe when he left the tent, but he didn't bother to go back to get it right now, he only told Shen Qi to tidy up the tent, and went to the entrance of the dungeon alone.

The guards in the dungeon all knew Ling Shen. At the beginning, this lord was appointed by the emperor to accompany the army. They didn't know the identity of this man, but they could also see that he had a close relationship with their commander, especially in the past few days. Those who came out together are almost like one person.Their coach never shy away from this person, even when he came to interrogate the enemy general a few days ago, he stayed aside openly.With this precedent, the two guards wisely did not stop Ling from going deep inside.

Ling Shen stepped into the dungeon unimpeded, but as soon as he entered the corridor, a wave of heat came over his face, with a slight musty smell and damp.This is the unique smell of the dungeon. No matter how many times he smells it, Ling Shen can't get used to it. After walking along the corridor for a while, he heard a familiar voice.

Hearing the sound, Ling Shen finally stopped moving forward, only raised his eyes to look not far away, and found that he could see a glimpse of the interrogation room from where he was, so he chose a place that looked a little clean and leaned up.

The people inside probably sensed that there were people outside, and the people standing next to Zhao Yunzhou planned to come out, but Zhao Yunzhou stopped them in the end.Ling Shen raised his eyes, as if he met Zhao Yunzhou's gaze, but whether he really met, probably... Only Zhao Yunzhou knows for sure.

"Lord Hou... No, maybe I should call you Qu Ziqin, the son of Qu Yi."

Ling Shen didn't know where they had been interrogated, but he was slightly taken aback when he heard this voice. It was different from the gentleness he used to have when he was in the past. It fits the current situation quite well.

Not long after Yu Yun said this, Hou Yuebin, who was tied to the rack, chuckled lightly: "I didn't expect you to find out even this, but I still say the same thing, even if you want to impose a crime on me, you should find it." It's reasonable, what is it to put on my head as a spy?"

"Indeed, the most suitable crime for you is to frame the court's official." Yu Yu was sitting on the chair at the moment, and the person opposite him was already bruised.Ling Shen was lucky enough to be able to see a corner. Although he couldn't tell how serious the injury was, there were bright red welts all over his eyes.

"Ahem~ You know more than I thought." Hou Yuebin's breath was a little messy, but his words were still orderly, and he didn't seem to have been whipped at all.

"No, I know much more than you think." Yu Yun retorted him.

"For example?" Hou Yuebin's tone was tinged with sarcasm, which was rare.

"What happened four years ago." Yu Yun said in a light tone, talking about an event that was too heavy for him. , Robbery.

After hearing this, Hou Yuebin fell silent.

Without words, the already stuffy space gave off a sense of panic and suffocation. The strange thing is that everyone in the torture room seemed to be in no hurry, allowing time to pass by little by little.

In the end, it was the bound person who couldn't hold his breath, took a deep breath and asked, "... when did you know?"

This kind of statement means that he has already admitted what he did four years ago, or that the moment Yu Yun said that he had framed the imperial court official, he knew that his things had been exposed.

Another moment of silence.

Ling Shen leaned against the wall and yawned lazily. The next moment, all the guards who were staying inside came out.He froze for a moment, and then wanted to ask what was wrong, but all the guards who came out turned a blind eye to him, except for the first glance, they passed by him without turning their eyes.

After the initial surprise, Ling Shen once again focused his attention on the execution room, but it was strange to say that after that, he couldn't hear any sound inside.

Is this whispering?Ling Shen tilted his head to think for a while, and then, driven by curiosity, he took two steps forward.He deliberately relaxed his hands and feet, walked to the edge of the execution room, and just took a look inside, when he saw Yu Yun turned and walked out.

"That's the end?" Ling Shen's tone was a bit surprised, and there was an expression called "disappointment" on his face, saying that he hadn't heard anything yet.

"That's enough, let him think about the rest." Yu Yun paused as he walked out of the torture room, and replied in a secretive manner for a moment.

Ling Shen thought he didn't know Hou Yuebin well, so he was not qualified to make any comments, so he naturally didn't dwell on this question, and asked, "Then did you find the answer you wanted?"

"Actually, I already have a clue, but judging by his appearance just now, it's very close." Yu Yun said with certainty.

Just now, he revealed all the things he planned and calculated before, including the fact that they deliberately revealed the location of the forward battalion.Hou Yuebin is not a villain. Apart from the things that framed him, this person is also a man who understands righteousness, not to mention that he has indeed done a lot of great things for the emperor.So Yu Yun decided to trust him once. Sure enough, after he mentioned these things, he, who had been firmly in charge of the military camp without spies, was suddenly shaken, and judging by his expression, that person must be someone he absolutely trusted and had never doubted.

Yu Yun knew very well that there was only one person that Hou Yuebin could trust so much in the entire prison camp, and that was the old man surnamed Dong who had been by his side all the time.

Hearing Yu Yun said that he had a clue, Ling Shen, driven by curiosity, opened his mouth and asked, "Who?"

However, after Yu Yun was asked, he unexpectedly hesitated, and then looked back at him: "...you probably haven't seen it before."

"..." Ling Shen twitched the corner of his mouth and decided to ignore this person.

Yu Yun asked again: "Would you like to take a look?"

"Who? That spy?" Ling Shen tilted his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling a little amused, "Why go and see, unless you want me to interrogate you for you? Why? You really want me to torture you to extract a confession."

Having said that, the two of them didn't stop, and walked straight to the exit of the dungeon.The guard on one side had already taken the robe when he saw the figure of his head coach, it was as if he had come to his side, and handed over the robe respectfully.

"Even if you want to interrogate, you have to wait for the next time." Yu Yun said this sentence to himself, took the robe and was about to put it on, but saw Ling Shen stepping into the wind like this, his brows furrowed instantly Dead tight, he took two steps forward and grabbed his wrist, "How can you come out wearing this?"

Seeing that the man in front of him was about to take off his coat, Ling Shen hurriedly grabbed his hand with his backhand, pulled him towards the main camp, and teased him as he walked, "Isn't this afraid that someone will run away? If you are in a hurry to chase him out, you will forget about it." gone."

Yu Yun still frowned. In his opinion, it was just perfunctory, but the fact is probably just that this person forgot.

It was quite windy at the moment, and the cold wind blew up Ling Shen's sleeves, making his robe even more flimsy.Fortunately, the main camp and the dungeon are not far away, and we arrived after bypassing two tents and walking south.

Yu Yun pushed Ling Shen to let him go in first, and he added some charcoal to the fire on behalf of the guards.

It's like entering the tent, the tent that was messy just now has become neat and clean, even those black and white chess pieces are separated and put in the box.Yu Yu looked around again, except for Ling Shen who was sitting by the brazier in the small tent, there was no big cat boy.

Of course Yu Yu knew who did it, the guards informed him just now, after he left, Shen Qi came in once, and took the black tiger with him before leaving.

"Shen Qi took Fei Fei out." Yu Yun said, walked to Ling Shen and sat down.

"I know." Ling Shen withdrew his hand from the side of the brazier, and put his hand into Yun's hand very naturally, "Cover it."

The corner of Yu Yun's mouth twitched: "I don't think I'm more effective than a brazier."

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are much more powerful than the brazier." Ling Shen smiled, and the next moment, before Yu Yun could react, he pulled him into his arms and said triumphantly, "Isn't it just like this?" Can you warm up your whole body?"

Yu Yun was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't try to break free from the still cold embrace, but instead deepened the hug even harder.

"By the way, when will you return to Beijing for your order?"

The muffled voice came to his ears, and Yu Yu was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize what he was asking.

"I'll be leaving in a few days. In the near future, I will first report the spies to the emperor."

"What about Hou Yuebin? Isn't he the main culprit of your incident four years ago? What are you going to do with him?" Ling Shen finally let go of his arms when asked here, and pressed Yu Yu's shoulder to force him to look at himself, "Don't tell I also listened to that emperor?"

"Otherwise?" Yu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked back.

"Kill him." Ling Shen didn't pause at all, and replied angrily.

Yu Yun pursed his lips and scolded with a smile: "Don't make trouble, I don't want to rob prisoners again someday."

Ling Shen squinted at him, although he felt that the discussion was unsatisfactory, but he was finally pleased by these words.Besides, according to Yu Yun's temperament, he would never be able to solve such a thing as Hou Yuebin privately. Even if he handed over this person along with the confession, he would probably not intervene in the punishment of this person, but this It doesn't affect his curiosity about some things.

"By the way, when you were interrogating him, what did you call him? Qu Ziqin?" Ling Shen moved his hands, feeling a little warmer, and put his hands on someone's neck unceremoniously.His hands were still a little icy, which was in stark contrast to the warm skin under his hands. Yu Yun was shivered by the ice, and gasped suddenly, not having time to answer his question for a while.

Ling Shen glanced at him, pretended to be a rascal, and rubbed eagerly: "Quickly, Qu Ziqin and Hou Yuebin..."

Yu Yun lifted his hand vigorously and pointed to the cabinet on the other side: "The third volume in the second row."

Although he didn't know why, Ling Shen followed Yu Yun's prompt and took out the parchment from the second row and the third volume.This roll of parchment is obviously a bit old, not to mention it looks yellow, and the corners are a little worn, but this does not affect the content inside.
