So, is it still a mirage?

Ning Cheng's body was covered with chains, and countless spikes pierced into his body, dyeing patches of bright red.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face became pale, but his heart, which was beating rapidly just now, slowly stabilized.

Well, that's not reality...

"I can't tell, you're enjoying it, don't you?"

The taunting voice in his ear pulled Ning Cheng back from his thoughts.

"It's not bad. Who would have thought that a person who is honest and kind on the surface would actually look like this in his bones? Your Excellency not only has good acting skills, but also has a vulgar taste, which is really admirable."

Qi Chuping smiled slightly, and said: "I never thought that the rumored unfathomable and greatest palace lord of Sulan City would be brought down so easily. Moreover, he still fell into the hands of people with "vulgar taste". "

He retracted the soft sword to his waist, dusted off the dust on his body, and said: "If I had known this, why should I have been lurking for so many years, keeping a low voice here and watching people's faces?"

Ning Cheng smiled noncommittally, and said, "So, not only are you hiding spirits, but you also know my identity, and deliberately lured me here so that you can catch a turtle in a jar?"

"It's not too bad to catch a turtle in a urn. I'm not very capable, but I just gamble on my luck to see if I can "close the door and beat the dog". "

Ning Cheng sneered, and said: "Where, Your Excellency is too humble. You are very capable. With your own strength, you severely injured Yue, sentenced Feng to prison, and turned Wangyun Palace upside down. My hand If you can move, I really want to give you some applause."

"Thanks for the compliment. It's a pity that I'm not very willing to cooperate with you, killing time here and waiting for rescue."

Qi Chuping said with a smile, then stepped forward and dragged Ning Cheng out of the inner hall, and threw him to the gate of the Hall of Disobedience.

"The commotion was so loud just now, even if the guards didn't notice it, they should have alerted other civil judges and military envoys. However, this broken bone chain is only at my command. Even if they arrive, they can only watch you bleed out and become disfigured. into an ugly, shriveled corpse.”

"Oh? Then I have to thank you for giving me the chance to say goodbye to them?"

Ning Cheng forced a smile out of pain, while Qi Chuping snorted and said, "You're welcome. Even so, don't have too much hope. After all, they probably don't have time to take care of you."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, stepped over Ning Cheng, and walked outside.

"Wait. What do you mean by that?"

Ning Cheng tried to raise his head, and shouted at Qi Chuping's back;

After the latter heard it, he stopped and looked back with a smile:

"Want to know?"

Ning Cheng looked at his upturned mouth, sighed, and lay down on the ground again.

"Forget it. I'm dying, why do I care about this?"

"People who are about to die, why are you pretending to be free and easy?"

Qi Chuping snorted softly, took a few steps forward, turned around quickly, grabbed Ning Cheng's head, and met his eyes:

"If you die like this, it will be too unfulfilling. I have changed my mind. I have to drag you to His Majesty the King, and let him see my ability."

Ning Cheng swallowed a mouthful of blood foam, and said with a wry smile: "My lord? Forget it, by the time you successfully escape from Sulan, I would have already turned into a rotten and smelly corpse full of maggots. Even if you don't feel disgusted, I But I still want to save face, so I won’t bother you to drag it away.”

"Oh, do I still need to escape?"

Qi Chuping sneered, and let go of Ning Cheng's hand.He squatted down, reached out and flicked on the chain of broken bones, and watched the growing spikes with satisfaction.

"You're thinking too much. His Majesty the Monarch is rushing towards Sulan. Maybe he's already in front of the Wanren Mountain cave."

"Wanren Mountain... a cave?"

A drop of blood slipped from the corner of Ning Cheng's mouth, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty the monarch you are talking about is the one who has just ascended the throne of Yijia Kingdom, right? He is the majestic monarch of a country, even if he has a crush on Sulan's girl, in the middle of the night Yes, having a tryst with someone on that barren hill is too boring."

"Do you think His Majesty is as useless as you are?"

Qi Chuping suppressed his smile, grabbed Ning Cheng's face fiercely, and spat at him.

"You entered the tunnel of the Martial Palace just now, and you must have found a bone? He is my elder brother. We were originally the sons of the rich and powerful. However, our family has declined and we have fallen to the point where we can be bullied.

At that time, it was the crown prince...that is, His Majesty today, who took me and my elder brother back to the palace so that we could eat and clothe ourselves warmly without being looked down upon by others. "

"Qing Hai, is that your brother?"

"That's right. My brother is five years older than me, and he sneaked into Sulan earlier than me. After I came to Sulan, I quickly got in touch with my brother, and we took care of each other secretly until—"

Qi Chuping paused, took a deep breath, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes: "Until a few months ago, the contact between my brother and me was suddenly cut off. We are in this business, and we have already prepared for the worst. So I I don't care about being sad, I just think about completing the task arranged by my brother."

He looked at Ning Cheng's paler face, grinned, and said, "Didn't Xuepan grab a piece of letter just now? Brother asked me to deliver that letter to Xuepan. After my brother disappeared, I found I searched all over the Wangyun Palace, but I couldn't find that letter. I never thought about it, by accident, let Xuejuan find it by himself."

"The letter, after all..."

"I didn't know what was written in that letter. According to my elder brother, once Xue Pan saw the contents of the letter, he would go crazy to find Feng Pan and fight to the death.

At that time, Wangyun Palace will surely fall into civil strife, and our soldiers, under the leadership of His Majesty, will be able to conquer Sulan in one fell swoop and fulfill the long-cherished wish of successive monarchs. "

Ning Cheng looked at the self-satisfied man and said, "So, you and Qinghai are both spies sent by Yijia Kingdom?"

"Yes. But now that you know, what's the use?"

After finishing speaking, Qi Chuping kicked Ning Cheng's waist with a smile: "Lie down obediently, don't waste your energy in vain, what are you talking about."

"Ah."

Ning Cheng shrank back, laughed softly, and then suddenly burst out laughing.He laughed so much that his whole body was shaking, even though more spikes pierced his flesh, he seemed completely unaware.

"why are you laughing?"

Seeing this, the smile on Qi Chuping's face disappeared.He took a step forward, and with a swipe, he pressed the soft sword against Ning Cheng's neck, directly drawing a bloodstain.

But Ning Cheng didn't realize it, just kept laughing, and said while laughing: "Ha... I, I laugh at you, it's so naive to think, think that I can break through Sulan..."

"Aren't you too naive? Feng Juan is now in a mirage, Yue Pan is seriously injured and dying, Xue Pan and Hua Pan are at a loss. And you, the most supreme palace lord of Sulan City, have become my prisoner." .”

Qi Chuping had a sinister smile on his face.

"So, whether you live or die now is entirely up to me. If you have a little self-knowledge, don't try to provoke me."

"Aren't you...cough, do you still want to take credit for me? If I die, what will you use to win the trust of Monarch Yijia and prove that I am Sulan's palace lord?"

"You are the palace lord, Feng Juan should know about it, right? Otherwise, how could the puppet in Liyang Palace have been hidden from his eyes?"

Qi Chuping said coldly, while Ning Cheng smiled disapprovingly, and said, "Why, you have been under Feng Pan for a long time, and you know him well? You said before that you have served in the Disobedience Hall for six years. As a The son of a former rich man, but he can really swallow his anger and listen to his orders."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Chuping seemed to have been poked in a sore spot, and his brows were instantly filled with anger.

He stretched out his hand, pulled Ning Cheng's collar fiercely, lifted him up, and knocked him hard to the ground.

"cough!"

Ning Cheng was thrown into a dizzy state, his throat felt sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Do you think I want to? If His Majesty hadn't promised to reward me and my elder brother afterwards and help us revive our family, how could I, how could I..."

"Why what?"

Ning Cheng took a breath and stared at the man with distorted expression.

"You become a servant, and your elder brother sits as a military envoy, which is much better than ordinary people. Now that you have left Yijia Country, you two are considered free, so you can live a good life in Sulan, can't you?"

Qi Chuping fell silent.After a while, a sternness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "So what? My brother is dead, and I can't turn back! Do you know that when I found my brother's remains, I was worried that I would startle the snake, so I could only let him go." How does it feel for him to lie on the cold ground?

It's all right now, I don't need to worry about anything else, I just need to stay here, and after a while the army will come in, join up with His Majesty, and then—"

"Are you so confident that the Yijia army can invade Wangyun Palace? Not to mention the original defensive shield of Sulan City, this Wangyun Palace requires a permit to enter and exit, and personal transmission is prohibited..."

Before Ning Cheng finished speaking, Qi Chuping bent down and laughed wantonly.

"Ha... I thought, how smart you are. Just now you were walking under the Hall of Martial Arts, didn't you realize that there is a road leading to the cave in Wanren Mountain?"

"Wanren Mountain Cave?"

"Yes, it's the Wanrenshan cave. At first, my elder brother discovered that road. He had a good brain and thought of using that passage to let Yijia soldiers directly sneak into the ground of the Wudian, while he himself found an excuse to return to Sulan and open the tunnel. Entrance, I'll catch you off guard."

Qi Chuping wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his hand, and threw out several silver needles, killing the guards who heard the sound.

"That day, he had already returned to the palace, but suddenly there was no news. First, I couldn't crack the barrier of the Martial Palace, and second, I didn't know the exact location of the cave, so I couldn't replace him to meet the soldiers, so I had to cancel the operation for the time being. .”

He looked at Ning Cheng, the madness in his eyes dissipated and turned into a mist like glass.

"His Majesty the Monarch was furious when he heard about it. I received several letters in succession, all accusing us of failing to do things well, and no one cared about my brother's life or death."

Ning Cheng snorted, looked at the man in pain, and didn't speak.

"That's all. What's the point of saying this now."

Qi Chuping raised his head and wiped his face vigorously.

"Anyway, God still favored me very much. Taking the opportunity of investigating the case, he brought me to the cave of Wanren Mountain. As soon as I came to the entrance of the cave, I immediately realized that it might be the tunnel leading to the Temple of Martial Arts that my brother said. cave."

He didn't care whether the people around him responded or not, he just murmured.

"That day, after you entered the stone chamber with the wind sentence, I walked to the other side of the fork as my brother described. However, after I entered inside, I discovered that there was someone hiding inside——

Fortunately, I moved quickly and quickly trapped them in the mirage, so I had the opportunity to walk slowly to the bottom of the Wudian along the corridor. "

As he said that, Qi Chu was a little absent-minded on a plane.He stood quietly on the steps, and after a while he said: "When I got to the underground stone chamber, I found a puppet in the shape of a blazing cloud, and a table full of instruments of torture. Among them, there was also a booklet with detailed descriptions. It records the usage of each instrument of torture."

He looked down at Ning Cheng and smiled: "Speaking of which, it's also your bad luck. If I hadn't kept them with me when I found the broken bone chains, my identity would have been censored four days ago. Break through. The planning of the past few months will also be in vain."

Ning Cheng was slightly startled, and said, "Four days ago?"

"That's right. I spent several months digging the corridors of the cave wide. At the same time, I racked my brains to figure out how to enter the Martial Palace through the tunnel, but I couldn't find any mechanism.

In desperation, I had no choice but to blow up the entrance stone before taking action to open up the road to the Temple of Martial Arts. "

As Qi Chuping spoke, a smug smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not that easy to blow up the entrance. First, you need to consider the risk of the tunnel collapsing. Second, if the falling stones block the entrance, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

He reached out and tapped his forehead lightly.

"Fortunately, after thinking hard and studying hard for several days, I finally found a suitable blasting point. That day, I took advantage of the rainy night to avoid the candle cage guards and came to the Wanrenshan cave to prepare for blasting the tunnel entrance. ——But who would have thought that when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he ran into Feng Juan."

... rainy night?

Ning Cheng remembered that he had circled Wangyun Palace for half a circle with an umbrella, but he didn't find anything about Feng Shu.

That night, he was worried that Feng Shu would be drenched by the rain, so he searched for someone and transmitted voices, but he didn't get any reply.

It turned out that Feng Shu was not angry and didn't reply, but because the distance was too far and he couldn't receive the voice transmission?

The author has something to say:

Qi Chuping: I am not very willing to cooperate with you. I am here to kill time and wait for rescue.

Ning Cheng: "Lie flat."

Qi Chuping: Get up and chat with me.

Ning Cheng: ...

P/s:

Qi Chuping is his real name, Qinghai's real name is Qi Chuhai, and his nickname is Qi Liuhai (no);
