beg for chivalry

Yu Yiwei helped Shui Jiujiu sit down on his knees.

He touched the bones on Shui Nineteen's body, but fortunately they were not broken. It seemed that his body was covered with flesh wounds.But no matter how tough the assassin was, he couldn't resist the severe beatings in the past few months. In the torture room of Houtianlou, there were wide boards and thorns used together.

But Shui Nineteen is still alive, Hou Tianlou wants to keep him to catch his words.Yu Yi didn't think of the reflections of the assassins behind him that Zi Shui's nineteen eyes caught a glimpse of. Although they surrounded the post house and stared at it, they had no plans to attack.This group of evil spirits walked quietly, if he hadn't caught a glimpse by chance, he wouldn't have known that the outside of the post house was surrounded by them.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you hurt so badly?" Although Yu Yiwei asked knowingly, but also anxiously in his heart, he hurriedly asked.

Shui Shijiu didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids. He twitched his eyelashes, and asked again softly: "I and you...in Bingzhou...did I let someone go?"

At this time, he was still saying some seemingly insignificant words, which made Yu Yiwei feel anxious, but at the same time felt strange.What Shui Jiujiu was talking about should be about the fact that they let Xu Yi go in Bingzhou. The two of them knew it well, and they had to keep it secret and not mention it to outsiders.

But now Shui Nineteen asked questions frequently in front of all the assassins when he was so angry that he was saying that this was a trap to lure him to tell the truth!

I don't know what the handle fell into the hands of the assassins, which caused Shui Nineteen to be severely tortured.Yu Yiwei was not sure whether this guy had revealed the truth, and immediately shook his head nervously:

"What are you talking about? This has never happened before..."

Shui Jiujiu stared at Yu Yiwei silently, his expression slightly relaxed, and a bit of bitter relief appeared in his tense eyes.

But his breath was too light, every breath was intermittent like a filament, his face was as pale as snow, as if all the blood had quietly flowed away from his body.

There was a bone-chilling voice from behind: "...you still have to argue!"

The assassins filed in in an instant, and the pitch-black figures crowded the post house.The two seemed to be surrounded by shady people, and were stared at by pairs of owl-like eyes.

Suddenly one of the assassins walked out, looking at them with a fierce look, it was just a grumpy ghost with a blue face.Wuduangui held a square birdcage in his hand, in which several gray-feathered pigeons were imprisoned, their feathers were stained with blood.The pigeon fluttered its wings uneasily and cooed loudly, and the sound echoed in the empty post house in twists and turns.

"There were four flying slaves in this cage who reported credit, but now there are only two left. Where did you put the other two?" The ghost without reason grabbed Yu Yiwei's skirt and asked viciously, "Shui Nineteen The news leaked out when the murder was committed in Bingzhou, and a neighbor said they saw you two find a large handful of rice stalks and spread them on the cart, did you hide someone?"

The unprovoked ghost asked aggressively again, "The Lingge who reported to Shui Jiu... the young landlord was dropped, is it your fault?"

Yu Yiwei waved his hands anxiously, and shouted: "There is no such thing! Did you make a mistake somewhere, why should you stain my innocence!"

"Then what happened when you and Shui Jiu went out to Bingzhou City!"

"I... got lost with him on the way," Yu Yi lied impatiently, "When I was with Shui Jiu earlier, he told me to buy some plain silk for clothes. How could I ever get lost with Shui Jiu Yes, I spent half a day with him that day, and I have no idea what he did afterwards!"

The ghosts stood silently.Yu Yi can be regarded as a good player for not lying, and he used Shui Jiu's name, making the group of assassins more uncertain.

After a long time, someone said: "Although this kid is extremely suspicious, there is no evidence that he has anything to do with Shui Shijiu."

"That's right, although it's Shui Nineteen's partner, but after all, they are two members of each department, and it's not unusual for them to fail."

"Is he from the Ministry of Fire? Let's not move, let Huo Qi come and interrogate him..."

Noisy whispers sounded among the ghosts, buzzing like flies and insects.

It seems that Hou Tianlou did not grasp the sure reason for his treachery, Yu Yiwei was slightly relieved at first, but he was still facing an abyss.They may have suspected Shang Shui Nineteen, but they haven't completely beaten him as a traitor.

He has vaguely noticed that there are ranks in the Houtian Building, and the ghosts respect the two divisions of gold and fire more than the other divisions, probably because these two divisions are in charge of the soldiers and irons.If he was killed casually, it would be a big loss for Hou Tianlou.

The Wudu ghost stared at the pigeon cage, but the eyes behind the ghost's face burst out with a strong hostility, and then slammed at Yu Yiwei, "No, I can't let this kid go easily. I'd rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. "

The assassin rolled his eyes, suddenly laughed fiercely, and then waved his hands to the others, "Why don't you put him in the execution room and watch him dead before the Martial League meeting, so as not to teach Zuo Louzhu to be distracted by many trivial matters."

"Hey, let's do it this way. We are also busy these days, and it will take a lot of trouble to transport the black fire powder to Tianfu, so we don't have the time to take care of it."

The assassins looked very impatient, and several of them stepped forward, restrained Yu Yiwei with brute force, and clamped his arms firmly.Yu Yiwei still struggled a few times at first, but the hands of the assassins on his shoulders were cold and firm, making him unable to move at all.

Yu Yiwei was dragged all the way to the punishment room in the mountain station.It is said to be a torture room, but it is a cave beside Tianlong Mountain. The inside is gloomy and gloomy, and dense fences are built to separate all parts of the cave.The lights in the cave were dim, and there was a strong smell of blood.The shrill screams and murmurs are intertwined, like a strange piece of music.

A wooden shackle was tied around his neck, and the word "Jian" was written on it with a vermilion pen, which meant that he was not allowed to step out of the torture room.There are Houtianlou Assassins guarding the torture room all around, all of them carrying knives, and their eyes are as cold as the blade's edge.

The assassins didn't execute Yu Yi, perhaps because they couldn't move the fire department, so they just left him in the dungeon and provided him with extremely unpalatable meals every day.Yu Yi was not lying on the haystack, but his heart was restless. He was thinking about Shui Jiujiu.The assassins didn't know where they dragged Shui Nineteen. Given the injuries on that man's body, he wondered if he was still okay now?

Thinking of this, his heart became more and more noisy, he jumped up and patted the prison sill, shouting: "Is there anyone? Come!"

An assassin came over with a lamp and kicked the prison sill heavily, causing the iron bars to hum and vibrate. "What are you doing! Shouting so loudly here!"

Yu Yi hurriedly said sincerely: "I'm Huo Shiqi. I didn't do anything wrong at first, see if you can let me out for a walk outside, I'm sure I won't go out."

"It's a good idea, just lie down obediently!" The assassin didn't buy him, and shouted loudly.

"Are you short of manpower?" Yu Yiwei said, "Is this place closed for the disciples of the Tianshan Gate? It is very troublesome to take care of each one. They have to feed and clean, and the Tubu is not here, so you will be exhausted. "

The assassin squinted at the wooden shackle around his neck, his eyeballs rolled, as if thinking. "...you are from the Ministry of Fire."

Yu Yi didn't know that he was a little moved, so he nodded quickly.During this period of time, the assassins in Bingzhou Mountain Station were extremely busy, and they wished that one person could be split into two persons. They had to deal with the orders of the left master at the Martial League Conference, and also dealt with a group of Tianshanmen disciples. Opportunity to lay the line of fire in the tunnel.

In addition, the assassins of the Ministry of Fire had some real power in Houtianlou. Although they were not as superior as the Ministry of Jin, they were quite feared by the assassins.He saw that the assassins who watched him all day long were extremely respectful to the Jin and Huobu assassins, and they seemed to be flattering, and now it seems that he guessed right.

"Are you getting close to Huo Qi?" The assassin suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice furtively.

After a moment of silence, Yu Yiwei immediately understood what he meant.Huo Qi is the head of the Fire Department, and this guy must be looking for some relationship with him, so he immediately whispered to him: "That's natural...! I have a very close friendship with Huo Qi, and he takes extra care of me. Not only that, but I am also getting close to the current young host, he thinks highly of me, and promised me to take me to see the left host last time!"

The assassin seemed satisfied with his answer, and nodded slightly.Yu Yiwei gritted her teeth, reached into her clothes, tore open the pockets sewn inside, grabbed a few grains of gold in her hand, and stuffed them into the assassin's hand.This is the monthly money he saved for saving food and festivals, and now he has to hand it over for nothing in order to go out.

The assassin suppressed his voice and muttered to him: "Speak to Huo Qi for me, and ask him to replace me with a receiver from the fire department. He needs to be good at it. My receiver only learned some three-legged kung fu before, so it's so good." very."

Yu Yiwei hastily nodded and bowed like a peking dog, flattering: "Cheng Chengcheng, I'm sure I'll say a few nice words in front of him."

The cell door opened, and Yu Yiwei was kicked out.The assassin sneered, and said: "Even so, I still have to watch you. You are only allowed to walk around in this dungeon, and you are not allowed to go out." Locked in one.

The assassin sneered, "I'll report to the gatekeeper later, and the rest of you won't take you back to prison if they see you. But if you dare to take a step out of this prison, hum, your brain is bigger than yours." Your feet hit the ground first."

"Also, go to the execution ground to help." The assassin pushed Yu Yiwei's back violently, and pointed to the deep cave.There was a glimmering fire, flickering on the jagged cave wall, like a splotch of bright red blood.The sound of sobbing and crying came intermittently, as if calling hell.

Yu Yiwei got goose bumps all over his body.The assassin smiled coldly behind him, "Aren't you going to help us solve our problems? It's not right for you to hang around in this dungeon. I'll escort you there now, and you can be a helper for them. I can just let those The people around are staring at you, not letting you make trouble."

"Where... is that place?" Yu Yiwei murmured as a drop of cold sweat dripped down his cheek.

The assassin said: "It's the prison where the disciples of the Tianshan Gate are held—but if you want to disembowel them, you can do it for fun. After all, we've been here for a long time, and there's nothing to have fun with."

As he spoke, he grabbed Yu Yiwei's shoulders violently, and pushed towards the depths of the cave.

Yu Yiwei was dizzy, with tinnitus and buzzing.He opened his mouth slightly, only to feel a ball of red-hot iron slurry bubbling in his chest, about to burn his whole body to death, and the boiling air mixed with shock and anger was revealed from the seven orifices.The assassin's words just now turned into needles and pierced hard into his heart.

This is...the place where the disciples of the Tianshanmen were imprisoned?

However, the thick and strong smell of blood and the lingering mournful sound seemed to have already given Yu Yiwei some guesses in his mind.The sound of the whip being executed and the scorching sound of the iron sticking to the flesh could be heard endlessly. As he walked towards the cave, every step he took felt heavy.

In a daze, Yu Yiwei seemed to see that he was stepping on the path beside the mountain wall leading to the martial field.The Tianshan Mountains are cold and desolate, and the snow is like a reed flower.As he climbed up the stairs, there were disciples of Tianshan Sect rushing past laughing and laughing, their laughter was clear and clear like silver bells, and the corners of their pure white robes swept away beside him, bringing a swirling cold wind.

But taking another step forward, he woke up from this illusion again.The scar on his cheek suddenly became hot and painful, and the cold and impermanent bird face covered his face.The sand creaked under his feet, and layers upon layers of screams bounced and echoed on the cave wall, and the reverberations rushed towards him wave after wave.

"Yiwei, you're late again!" He vaguely saw all the disciples squatting in front of the martial arts field amidst the flying snow in the Tianshan Mountains, raising their frozen red faces and laughing at him, and the white breath coming out of their mouths Merge into a piece of plain silver.Seeing him coming, the crowd laughed and cursed, "You are lazy, you always like to lie still on the bed, which makes Zhi Xu late! Every time he gets punished, it's probably your fault..."

Hearing this, he was quite unconvinced, and argued with the corners of his mouth: "It's none of my business that he walks slowly by himself? You say I'm lazy, I admit it, but he is also procrastinating... "

All the disciples shook their heads and booed him first, then smashed him with kneaded snow balls with mixed smiles. "You speak ill of the foreman again, let's file a complaint!" He hid in hiding, laughed loudly, and squatted down to grab Xue and throw it at the disciples.Yu Zhixu looked at them helplessly behind him, and coughed a few times with a straight face, so everyone also coughed and coughed loudly, dawdling in line.

In the hazy illusion, everything in the Tianshan Mountains seems to be covered with a layer of blurred light and shadow. It seems that it is within reach, but in reality it is out of reach.The cold but fresh morning breeze, the silvery frost and snow, the disciples chirping like birds, and the figure of Yuzhi Xu are gradually moving away from him.

He only caught a glimpse of Yuzhi Xu Tian's calm and smiling side face, like the faint moonlight, it disappeared with a slight sway by his side.So this dream also dissipated, leaving only the dark cave and the bone-chilling coldness in front of my eyes.

Yu Yiwei descended the stone steps in a daze, the screams in his ears became more and more clearly audible, and the thick stone walls couldn't hide the miserable cries.

The assassin pushed him into a cave, and there was a hole in the narrow corridor.But that place is a scene that can only be found in hell, and a stench that can make your nose crooked hits your face.If you look carefully, you can see rows of wooden stakes standing like a forest, and there are countless bloody bodies tied to the stakes.Some were even dehydrated, shrinking into a shriveled ball, unable to see the original human shape.

The ground seemed to be a canal dug to receive blood, and mosquitoes and flies were entrenched on it, and there were even leaked internal organs piling up in it.The Houtianlou assassins gathered around the living people, laughing and cutting off their fingers with iron scissors.Before Yu Yi glanced at them, he recognized several familiar partners from those faces distorted by pain and covered with blood.

"Go ahead, pick one you like and play with it." The assassin pushed him on the shoulder, "They are all Erzhu disciples of Tianshan Gate, and they can't say anything useful, so keep a few as medicine masters." That's it. The rest can be killed as they like, anyway, it's inconvenient for us to bring so many people back to Tongle Temple."

"Mmm...mm." Yu Yiwei replied vaguely with a dazed expression.

He stumbled towards the group of Tianshanmen disciples who were tied to the stakes.How many are still alive?Yu Yiwei glanced over frightenedly, but few people's nostrils were still twitching slightly.

After this bloodbath, the Tianshan Gate has existed in name only.

Yu Yiwei slowly walked between the wooden posts, the more she watched, the more frightened she became.He buried his head deeply and let out a trembling breath.If you close your eyes, maybe you don't have to see this miserable scene.But as he staggered past a stake, he heard a strange murmur.

The low murmur was hoarse and vague, and it was hard to hear what the man was trying to say.Yu Yi didn't look up, only to see a bloody man tied to the stake.

That person was extremely miserable, his whole body seemed to have been stripped of skin, revealing dark red flesh and blood, wrapped in fine cloth, but the dark red blood still leaked out.Yu Yi felt pain before looking at it, and shivered involuntarily.He himself scratched half of the face, and the pain was so painful that he didn't know what kind of inhuman pain this person had suffered.

"Hey..." the man whispered.

Mosquitoes and flies hovered over his festering wounds, and some wounds even had white maggots wriggling, emitting a strong stench.Yu Yi wrinkled his nose, turned his head and glanced at the Houtianlou assassins around him, seeing that no one was looking at him, he asked, "What do you want to say?"

"...Yi..." The man struggled with all his strength, stretching his neck as if he wanted to speak to him.The moving flesh and blood fell down like peeling off.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yiwei blinked and took a step back in fright.But he looked at the man's bloodshot eyes again, and found that the man was staring at his chest.

What's on his chest?

Yu Yi didn't look down.The front of his clothes had been roughly ripped apart by the assassins before, but now it is slightly opened, revealing his chest, and a copper coin hanging around his neck, glowing dimly in the firelight.

A red thread was tied to that heavy copper coin, which was handed to him by a certain person to ward off evil spirits.

In the winding path of Tianfu, in the sweltering summer after the rain, the man stuffed the copper coin into his palm and told him that it was the money used to ward off evil spirits in Xichuan ceremonies. "The square and the circle are one, life and life are inseparable. In our Xichuan, this means to have a fate. Although it is a superstitious object, the wind and rain in the world are unpredictable during this time, so you just put it away."

Then she said to him in a calm tone, "In this way, if you are in trouble next time, I will be able to rush to your side and stand by your side."

Suddenly, his heart vibrated violently, and Yu Yiwei squeezed out intermittent and weak groans from his throat as if falling into an ice abyss.He heard the words of the man tied to the stake, mangled with blood.

The man was making a sound with difficulty and pain, his throat seemed to be filled with blood, making a hoarse and indistinguishable sound.

"Hey... B..."

"...B...Wei."

In an instant, Yu Yiwei's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, completely torn apart.His face hidden behind the ghost face was wrinkled in pain and sadness, his throat was dry and dry, as if it had been cracked.For a moment, the bright scene of the past flashed before his eyes, but it turned into deep and unchanging darkness in a moment.

He looked at this bruised and out-of-human figure, and tremblingly said with disbelief:

"Executive..."

"...you are... Yuzhi Xu."
