capital.
above the streets.
The carriage rumbled by, and on both sides of the street, small merchants and hawkers were selling their stalls as usual, and nothing had changed because of last night's assassination.
Even if the sky falls, people still have to live.
"Baozi, freshly baked meat buns, big and fragrant meat buns."
On the street, the steamed buns are already steamed by the steamed bun shops that have been selling out their stalls for a long time.
"The Tower of Heaven!"
On the carriage, Li Ziye smelled the aroma of steamed buns, opened the curtain and shouted, "Go buy me twenty meat buns."
"Hush!"
In front of the carriage, Tian Zhique heard the request of the young master behind him, reined in the horse, got out of the carriage with a speechless expression, and went to buy meat buns from the bun stall on the roadside.
"Brother Li, are you still in the mood to eat steamed buns at this time?" In the carriage, Mu Bai looked at the person in front of him and said with a mixture of laughter and tears.
Should he say that this guy has a big heart, or should he say that he doesn't care about honor or disgrace?
"People are like iron rice. I didn't eat enough at the banquet last night. I spent the whole night struggling. What's wrong with me eating a few buns?" Li Ziye replied matter-of-factly.
"..."
Mu Bai really didn't want to deal with this guy anymore.
"Young Master."
Not long after, Tian Zhique walked back with two portions of steamed buns and handed one large portion to the young master in front of him.
As for the remaining small portion, of course it is reserved for myself.
After all, he hadn't eaten all night, so eating ten steamed buns wasn't too much, right?
"Your Highness, I'll give you two."
The carriage started on its way again. In the carriage, Li Ziye took out two steamed buns and handed them over, saying, "Eat it, I won't charge you any money."
Mu Bai was speechless, but he was not polite. He took the two buns and started eating them.
In fact, he was also a little hungry.
Not to mention, this stuff tastes really good.
Mu Bai, who has always been well-fed, is not picky about food anymore after a night of tossing around, and feels that ordinary meat buns are so delicious.
After eating two meat buns, Mu Bai looked at the person in front of him who was about to eat eighteen buns by himself. Just as he was about to open his mouth and share two more buns with him, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Tianlao, here we come.
"Young Master, we've arrived." Tian Zhique reminded in front of the carriage.
When Mu Bai heard the sound outside, he immediately swallowed the words that were on his lips and continued to maintain his aloof image.
Li Ziye ignored this and got out of the carriage while eating the dozen or so buns he had left.
Soon, under the leadership of the Tianlao guards, the two entered the Tianlao together, while Tianzhique stayed outside and did not enter.
The prison is so important that ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
"Your Highness the Fourth!"
In the sky prison on the lowest floor, King Yunyi and Sanchijian saw the two people walking outside, and immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Mu Bai said calmly, "Has the interrogation started?"
"not yet."
King Yunyi shook his head and replied, "However, once His Highness and Crown Prince Gan Yang are here, we can begin."
"Let's get started." Mu Bai nodded and said.
"yes!"
King Yunyi accepted the order and turned back to the prison, preparing to be tortured directly.
Li Ziye followed him into the prison boredly without saying a word, just acting like a passerby.
The menial work of interrogating prisoners was not something a highly qualified person like him could do.
"Tell me, who sent you here."
King Yunyi stepped forward with a red-hot iron, and asked with a gloomy expression as a villain with no new ideas.
Under the beam, the man in black who was hung slowly opened his eyes with an indifferent expression. Only when he saw the young man eating steamed buns not far away, something strange flashed in his eyes.
The legitimate son of the Li family!
Next to Mu Bai, Li Ziye seemed to notice the assassin's gaze. He raised his head, grinned, then lowered his head again and continued eating buns.
To be honest, he didn't think that today's interrogation would yield much useful information.
This kind of important assassination mission usually uses dead soldiers or extremely loyal people. Through torture, something may be found out, but it is limited.
"You won't say it, right?"
King Yunyi saw that the man in black in front of him still didn't say a word, and directly pressed the soldering iron in his hand.
"Well."
A painful groan sounded. The man in black kept twitching because of the pain, but he resisted and did not cry out. He gritted his teeth and held on.
The skin was scorched by the iron, and the smell of meat wafted through the prison.
When Mu Bai smelled this familiar smell, and then thought about what he had just eaten, his stomach surged, and he almost couldn't help but vomit it out.
On the other hand, Li Ziye on the side was still eating with gusto and was not affected at all.
"Your Highness."
On the other side, Sanchijian saw King Yunyi start to torture him directly. He turned to look at the fourth prince on the side and asked, "Why don't you, Your Highness, step aside?"
"Need not."
Mu Bai resisted the urge to vomit and said, "I am also a martial arts practitioner, and I am not so squeamish."
"Your Highness is mighty and domineering."
On the side, Li Ziye complimented perfunctorily while eating.
Mu Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes. Now, he was very sure that this guy must have done it on purpose.
There is nothing wrong with buying anything but meat buns.
In the prison, the bloody and cruel interrogation was carried out step by step, including branding, whipping, flesh cutting, salt water, and armor peeling. The methods were endless, symbolizing the rich torture methods of the thousand-year dynasty.
After about an hour, the assassin in black had been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
"So tough."
After Li Ziye finished eating the buns, he couldn't help but praise him.
Although he is an enemy, he still appreciates this toughness.
A man should look like a man. He can stand up to swords and axes without changing his expression, but if his fingers are broken and his fingers tremble, what kind of man are they?
"Li, Li Ziye."
Under the beams, the assassin in black heard someone's praise and spoke for the first time, struggling to say, "You are stronger than we thought."
"Excessive praise."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know who you are. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the young man who blocked you yesterday just woke up. It's not a big problem, just don't worry."
"No, it's impossible."
The assassin in black looked shocked and said in disbelief, "He, he can't possibly live."
With his palm, there is absolutely no chance that that person will have any chance of survival.
"Did you know that there is something called a soul-suppressing bead?"
While talking, Li Ziye took out a bead from his arms, tossed it twice, and said with a smile, "This thing can help people repair their spiritual consciousness, so I revived him. In two days, he will When the prince's injury is better, I will bring him to visit you."
"Zhen, soul-suppressing beads!"
The Night Assassin looked at the bead in the former's hand, and his body started to tremble again.
"And one more thing."
Seeing the mental fluctuations of the people in front of him, Li Ziye immediately rubbed salt into the wound and said with a smile, "What's the name of that boy from the Chen family who uses the bow? Yes, Chen Shiyi was caught by me last night. Unfortunately, Nanyue That little girl from the royal family ran a little fast, and I accidentally let her escape. I have to say, you still have something, but not much."
