The capital, the cold palace, and another underground prison.
"The mouth is quite tough!!"
Liang Yong crossed his arms and looked at Su Jiu, who was lying limply on the ground and tied with chains, with a sneer.
Su Jiu raised her head, stared at Liang Yong, and cursed: "Bitch, you can't get any information about the family from me, and you still want to get the Wu Se Ding big hand seal? You are simply delusional!!"
"You will never be able to break through the Grand Master in this life. This is your fate for the rest of your life!!"
"Just wait to die!!"
"You won't live much longer!"
"The aura on your body has been mixed with death... If you don't break through, you won't survive three months!!"
Listening to Su Jiu's abuse, Liang Yong seemed indifferent and said coldly: "The barking of the weak is always so harsh and useless..."
"You won't last long, you will tell me the answer."
A chill flashed in Liang Yong's eyes, and he took out more than a dozen torture instruments and began the next stage of torture.
...
One day later, in the Zichen Palace, Empress Liang Zhao put down the revised memorial and asked, "How is it? Did he recruit?"
Since the imperial study room was destroyed, Empress Liang Zhao stayed in the Zichen Hall these days to correct memorials, using this place as a temporary office.
"Not yet. He has a very tough mouth. He seems determined not to kill him." Liang Yong's face looked a little unsightly. The secret book was clearly in front of him, but he couldn't read it. It was extremely frustrating.
"Yes." Empress Liang Zhao was not surprised by this, "If it were so easy to get him to speak, he wouldn't have been lurking for so many years without being discovered."
“There’s no need to rush this matter, take your time!!”
"Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you find the corresponding weakness, you can get the answer you want."
"Now that the traitor in Jiuyou who was planted in the wilderness has been caught, this matter can be investigated slowly."
"Compared to this, Marquis Yongwu, how is your condition?"
Empress Liang looked after Liang Yong, who once said that once there were too many fights, it would most likely lead to a state of alternation between life and death in advance and fall into a deep sleep.
Su Chang and Su Jiu fought against martial arts masters twice, and even Liang Yong was probably under a lot of pressure.
The biggest pressure is not on them, but on how much power to use and how to control the opponent without getting into trouble. This is the difficult point.
This is also the reason why these few fights were not crushing.
If Liang Yong directly unleashes all the power of a half-step grandmaster, he can easily resolve the battle within three to five moves.
But the price paid is to immediately fall into a deep sleep and start to break through.
Success leads to life, failure leads to death! !
The reason why Liang Yong took more than ten moves to defeat his opponent was because he was testing the opponent's limit and using a force slightly higher than the opponent's limit to forcefully control the opponent.
This requires a lot of effort.
"It's okay for now."
"However, the time has been shortened a lot. According to my estimate, I will start to break through in two to three months."
"If I take action again during this period, I'm afraid the time will be shortened to one month, or even less."
Liang Yong pondered for a moment and told Empress Liang Zhao about his condition.
Empress Liang Zhao nodded slightly. She also knew that this result was inevitable. Liang Yong's trump card was a semi-finished product.
It is easy to use, but there is loss in use. Once the loss reaches the standard, it will be scrapped.
This is exactly the same as some of the siege equipment in the wilderness today.
Of course, if she can help Liang Yong break through the Grand Master and completely stabilize his own state, then she will have a complete trump card in the future.
"Marquis Yongwu, there are many hidden diseases in the wilderness that need to be solved. From the inside out, everything is rotten."
"There are treacherous ministers inside who are controlling the government, and officials above and below are colluding, taking bribes, and misappropriating fertile land. Outside, there are forces such as Jiuyou, Tianlang, and the countries in the Western Regions. They are surrounded by wolves. Several of my uncles also covet my throne. I The seat is not easy to sit in!!”
Empress Liang Zhao took a long breath and sighed.
Hearing the words of Empress Liang Zhao, Liang Yong's expression was also quite solemn. He also understood a thing or two about what the other party said.
There are some things that he can help solve, and there are some things that he can't help with.
Facing Jiuyou and Tianlang, he has nothing to do!
"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Liang Yong asked directly.
"In terms of internal affairs, I don't want you to worry about it. This cannot be changed overnight. Even if the treacherous officials in the court are eliminated, other treacherous officials will appear. This is a problem with the national policy and needs to be changed. Reform is needed. This matter is still Let me handle it myself."
Empress Liang Zhao continued: "However, there is something that makes me feel uneasy. I need to ask Marquis Yongwu to go over and deal with it."
"whats the matter?"
"Your Majesty, just say so."
"As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it with all my strength." Liang Yong said with his hands in hand.
Empress Liang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Demon Cult."
"Demon Cult?" Liang Yong frowned a little. He originally thought that the other party would talk about the affairs of several vassal kings or the Land of Yanyun, but he did not expect that the other party would actually mention the Demon Cult that had disappeared long ago?
"Hasn't the Demon Cult been eliminated long ago? The remaining forces are just hanging on..."
"No." Empress Liang Zhao shook her head and said very seriously: "On the surface, the Demon Sect seems to have been solved, but in fact, the Demon Sect has been operating secretly, and it already has masters at the master level who are always ready to overthrow. Great wilderness!!”
"What?" Liang Yong frowned and asked, "Is this the information provided by Qinglong Guard?"
"That's right." Empress Liang Zhao cleverly avoided the topic, "Marquis Yongwu, how much do you know about the Demon Cult?"
"The demon sect has a long history. It was the first sect introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions. It worships the Lotus Lord. It emphasizes dedicating yourself to this life and benefiting the next life. All evil deeds are offerings to the Lotus Lord. They are all accumulating blessings. It’s saving up good luck for the next life.”
"The teachings of this sect are extremely extreme. They don't pay taxes or farm the land. They focus on plundering and killing others to obtain the gifts of the Holy Lord."
"The leader of this sect is called Venerable Black Lotus. All the Venerable Black Lotus have been master-level masters..."
"As for the others, I'm not sure."
"When I was in charge of the Qinglong Guard, the demon sect had been attacked once and completely disappeared without a trace. Every time the members caught and killed were peripheral believers, the core could not be touched at all."
Liang Yong told everything he knew.
"Your Majesty wants me to take action against the Demon Cult?"
Empress Liang Zhao nodded, with a serious look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "I want you to help me investigate someone."
"Who?" Liang Yong knew that this person must be an important official of the imperial court. To be able to make Emperor Xuan so cautious, this person's identity must not be simple.
"King Yu!"
Empress Liang Zhao finally said the name.
