hermit meets king

Eventful autumn.

Qi Shuocheng thought that maybe the source of everything didn't start now, but more than 20 years ago, when the Mingshan Earthquake, the tombs of the newcomers' ancestors collapsed, and the ghostly aura was everywhere.

It's only now that some hidden leads really pop out.

It seems that I always underestimate them.Xu Sheng is, and so is the fourth prince of the Si Kou Kingdom, which made them what they are today.

Back then, I only focused on the Ruan family and the power center of the royal family, but forgot to pay attention to some people hiding in the corners.

Qi Shuocheng waved his hand, telling Kuang Jue to retreat first.

Now knowing that the fourth prince of Si Kou Kingdom has such abilities, it is very tricky.Moreover, the 20 army of Si Kou Kingdom is estimated to have arrived, plus Kuang Jue's serious injury.

I can only ask for things from the Ruan family.

Qi Shuocheng came to this cell and asked the jailer to open the cell door.

When Xu Yanzhuo saw Qi Shuocheng, he didn't react at all, he just glanced at him, and then ate on his own.

Qi Shuocheng walked to the other side of the dining table and asked the servants to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. The two sat facing each other, eating silently.

It's always been like this recently, a general who takes the emperor to order the princes, doesn't eat the big fish and meat outside, but comes to this prison to eat and drink every day when it's meal time.

Xu Yanzhuo hated his hypocrisy at first, but as time passed, he didn't bother to pay attention.

After eating, the jailer bowed his body and cleared away the bowls and chopsticks.

Surprisingly, this time Qi Shuocheng didn't leave after eating, but sat there, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

How could Xu Yanzhuo not be able to see it, but he just ignored it, lying on the bed, looking down at the chat book, as if he couldn't see that there was another person.

After a while, Qi Shuocheng got up and walked to the bed.Looking down at the person lying on the bed, since the last time, A Zhuo won't be in the state of looking for death all day long like before.

But eat well, drink well and sleep well, just don't say a word to yourself, let alone anger and hatred.

I knew in my heart that he might hate me so much, so I also adjusted my state, waiting for the opportunity I promised to give him, letting him be free temporarily within the scope of my control.

However, he hadn't been released from the cage yet, and now another incident happened.

I thought that Xu Sheng's affairs would be easily resolved. At that time, the world would be unified, so it was natural to let him toss.But now, I am afraid it will not be so easy for the time being.

Xu Yanzhuo turned over, facing the wall.I really can't stand the way the tall man by the bed has been standing by the bed and staring at him for a long time.

Qi Shuocheng saw Xu Yanzhuo turned to face the wall, looking like he didn't want to see him, and smiled wryly, "A Zhuo, I want to tell you something."

The person on the bed looked at the book in his hand and ignored what was going on outside the window, so he ignored it.

"I need the family sacred artifact of the Ruan family, the Feiyu Sheshi."

The person on the bed stopped flipping the book, his back stiffened, but he still didn't say anything.It was already since the last time, Xu Yanzhuo hadn't spoken a word to Qi Shuocheng.

"I know you are uncomfortable, but the big reason why I wanted the Ruan family was because of this Fei Yu's dish."

Xu Yanzhuo understands that the Ruan family has always wanted to break through the secret method of raising little ghosts because they have this holy artifact, the Fei Yu She San.

But the Ruan family has not found the secret to using it for hundreds of years. Before, they knew that just having a vessel is not enough. If they want to really activate it, they must find the key introduction.But the Ruan family searched for it for more than 20 years, but they couldn't find it, and it is impossible for them to be easily used now.

"A Zhuo, I just want to inform you that I want to get it." Qi Shuocheng looked at the person on the bed without even moving, let alone looking back at himself, even if it was such a big thing, he was already too lazy Did you take care of yourself?

It seemed that it really hurt him deeply.

However, it is better for him to live with his body than to die.

Qi Shuocheng walked out of the cell door and walked into another cell.

Hundreds of members of the Ruan family were imprisoned inside. It was damp and cold, ten people per prison, and the environment was not good.

Going all the way to the innermost part, some of them are opened separately.There are the three elders of the Ruan family, and Concubine Ruan.

Qi Shuocheng ordered the jailer to open Concubine Ruan's cell door.

Concubine Ruan Guifei's hair was disheveled, her face was dirty, and her clothes were still the same as before, smelling bad.

How can she still have the appearance of the half-graceful imperial concubine back then?Seeing that the person who came was Qi Shuocheng, there were cold arrows in his eyes, and he wished he could be pinned in this cell.

Qi Shuocheng approached the cell, looked at the imperial concubine sitting on the ground, and asked, "Concubine Ruan, how are you doing recently?"

"Hmph, a dog with a human face and a beast's heart." Ruan Guifei changed her usual grace and gritted her teeth, "20 years ago, you, a bastard, survived."

Qi Shuocheng's eyes were instantly cold, almost freezing, "Okay, very good, I, a bastard, survived just to destroy your whole family of Ruan's family."

"Fuck off, kill if you want." Concubine Ruan Gui really didn't understand what was the implication that she hadn't made a move after so long since the incident happened?

"If it's not for him, do you think I don't want to kill you?" Qi Shuocheng slowly approached Ruan Guifei, looking at her from top to bottom, "At least you gave birth to a good son."

"Get out!" It's ironic, Concubine Ruan Gui also hated her son, but no matter how much she hated, he was still her son.

"Really, you all have to thank him, or you'd all be skinned and boned by me now, leaving your corpses in the wild." Qi Shuocheng said slowly.

"I'm fighting with you. You bastard!" Concubine Ruan suddenly jumped up, holding the hairpin she had been hiding in her hand, and wanted to stab Qi Shuocheng's neck.

But Bo Qi Shuocheng grabbed it with a backhand, and even though the crazy woman struggled wildly, she didn't move at all, "Why, really I won't kill you all because of me?"

He stretched out his hand and pushed Ruan Guifei to the corner of the wall.

"This time, I have something to inform you. Fei Yu of the Ruan family gave up his life. I am determined." Qi Shuocheng took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Either you tell me now, or the patriarchs tell me , or I slowly delay these hundreds of people, and you decide whether to tell me or not."

"Dream!" Concubine Ruan Gui spit and said, "Even if the entire Ruan family is silenced, no one will say that you should never dream of it."

"Really?" Qi Shuocheng looked at Ruan Guifei, he couldn't do anything to her, but it's not impossible for others, other people who are not closely related to A Zhuo. "Actually, I'm not willing to do anything to Ah Zhuo, but for the sake of the world, it's okay to think about it."

After Qi Shuocheng got out of the prison, he asked the jailers to detain the three elders and five elders of the Ruan family separately, torture them and interrogate them.

And Concubine Ruan Gui, who was taken to a dark room, could see the miserable situation of these eight people in the prison, and the continuous screams of refusal.

The flesh was sliced ​​off thinly, and the living skin was peeled and sprinkled with salt. One palm and one arm seemed to be skeletons.Bai Sensen's bones were exposed to the air.

After most of the day, there was one person who couldn't bear the pain, and told a little bit of news one after another.There are only some bits and pieces of news, and he doesn't know everything.

The next day, two more people recruited one after another.

Concubine Ruan Gui was brought into this dark room for two consecutive days. Looking at the bloody scene, she retched and felt a chill down her spine.I trembled at the thought that this would happen to me in the future.

On the third day, Qi Shuocheng took people to the former site of Ruan's family, and found Feiyu's container in a secret room in the ancestral hall.

Ruan Guifei returned to the cell, trembling all the time, what she saw in the past two days, as long as she closed her eyes, it would be repeated before her eyes, and even her ears kept hearing screams.He didn't even dare to sleep, closed his eyes, and the one who was punished and skinned and boned became himself.

I really don't understand, since you can use such a vicious method to torture and get news, why do you still tell yourself to watch in the dark room?Is it just to torture yourself, isn't it full of food?

On the fourth day, Qi Shuocheng came again.Looking at Concubine Ruan Gui who was trembling on the ground, she smiled, "You don't have to be afraid, I'll show you just to make you obedient."

Concubine Ruan's eyes were full of fear, this person is a devil, obedient, what value is there in being obedient?

"I got Fei Yu to die but there is no introduction, do you know the introduction?" Qi Shuocheng asked slowly.

"I don't know, I don't know." Ruan Guifei stepped back from the wall, desperately trying to stay away from that vicious man, while shaking her head desperately, "I don't know."

Qi Shuocheng didn't intend to ask anything from her at first, the chiefs of the Ruan family and those in power didn't know about it, and as a daughter of the Ruan clan, the possibility of her knowing was even slimmer.

This is also the reason why the Ruan family has been unsuccessful in trying to tame the kid. "You can't handle this big thing, but you have to do another small thing for me?"

"What, what's the matter?" Concubine Ruan Gui asked in a panic.

"A Zhuo has been in a bad mood recently. Go and enlighten him, just say that you told me about Fei Yu's dish, so that he can keep the green hills, so he won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

Qi Shuocheng looked at the shivering Concubine Ruan, knelt down and comforted him, "He is your only son, as long as he lives, your Ruan family has hope, right?"

"Okay. Okay." Concubine Ruan quickly lowered her head, not wanting to meet Qi Shuocheng's eyes.

what hope?Everyone in Qingming understands that it is just a plaything caught in the hand.

But he is always his own son, and he has endured it in the deep palace for more than 20 years. If he is alive, he has possibility and hope, which is better than death.Besides, it's not impossible to have a more important matter to tell him.

Qi Shuocheng ordered people to bring clean clothes to Concubine Ruan Gui, and asked people to stay for her to get ready.

After combing her hair and putting on the original clean clothes of the imperial concubine, she really has the graceful and luxurious appearance of the original concubine Ruan, but the eyes and demeanor are no longer as noble and superior as before.

"Very good." Qi Shuocheng half reminded, half threatened to warn, "You should know what to say." Pointing to his eyes, "Look at you."

The jailer took Ruan Guifei to Xu Yanzhuo's cell. This was the first time the mother and son met since the accident.
