The moment the man jumped off the cliff, Wang Xian rushed out from behind the boulder with a look of astonishment. He lay on the edge of the cliff and stretched out his hand, but only caught a handful of cold mountain breeze.
The white mist floated around his hand, as if mocking his cleverness.
He stood there dejectedly for a long time, then suddenly tucked his clothes into his belt and bravely took a step forward.
His body fell forward quickly, and the clouds floating on the edge of the cliff became within reach.
He was a little afraid of heights and closed his eyes in fear.
Unexpectedly, his body only fell halfway forward, and then he was pulled backwards by a strong force. With a thud, he fell to the ground sprawled out, stirring up a burst of gray dust.
Then there was an angry scolding in his ears.
"What are you doing! Looking for death?"
Wang Xian was startled. He didn't know when there was someone behind him. Fortunately, he was able to pull him away. If he had stabbed him, he would have been a fool.
He turned his head in panic, and when he saw Lai Ran, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Sir, sir, why are you here?"
Han Changmu let go of Wang Xian's collar, rubbed his fingertips, and sternly scolded: "If I don't come, you will be shattered to pieces this time."
Wang Xian shrank his neck and said with a sad face: "I didn't want to jump even though I was in the position, but Du Feng jumped. I want to go down and have a look. Maybe I will find something."
"Nonsense!" Before Wang Xian could finish speaking, Han Changmu's face turned cold. Although his voice was extremely low, the two words he spat out through gritted teeth contained a chill of calmness. If there was a table in front of him, He could slap it down by raising his hand: "You are confused! The situation below is unclear. You jumped down rashly like this. You are not doing errands, but making unnecessary sacrifices. Wang Xian, you are also an old man in the Department of Internal Health. Why?" How can you still be so reckless! One day you will be promoted to the general flag and hold countless lives in your hands, do you want to treat it like a child's play? Life is reserved for those who perform their duties faithfully, not for wanton abuse. "
Wang Xian was trained by Han Changmu to the point where he couldn't hold his head up. He was filled with fear and shame. He was used to fighting alone. He always felt that he had a low life. He would die if he died. It was no big deal. No one had ever pitied him. A life.
But Han Changmu's words were like a wake-up call, which suddenly opened up his mind of always looking down on himself.
His life is precious and his future is promising.
He suddenly raised his head and spoke with a moving expression: "Your Majesty, you are extremely reprimanded. It was a shameful act of low duty. There will be no next time."
Han Changmu nodded slightly and said calmly: "What happened? Didn't you sneak into the village with Bao Cheng? Why did you follow Du Feng here?"
"Sir, it's like this," Wang Xian said impatiently: "After Beizhi and Bao Cheng sneaked into the stronghold, they found that the stronghold was in chaos. Everyone was looking for His Highness the King of Han like crazy, but these water bandits were all on guard against each other. I'm afraid that others will take the lead." He paused briefly and continued: "Bizhi and Bao Cheng accidentally discovered Du Feng in disguise. He and a water bandit walked towards each other, looking like they were not They knew each other and had never spoken to each other, but Beizhi saw with his own eyes that the water bandit stuffed something into Du Feng's sleeve. After Du Feng walked away, Beizhi took down the water bandit and only found out after interrogating him. This water bandit was placed next to Dou Weiqi, the third master, by Li Sheng. He found out that Dou Weiqi was secretly dealing with someone, so he quickly sent a message to Du Feng, and the humble post followed Du Feng all the way here."
After saying that, Wang Xian scratched his bun and asked Han Changmu in confusion: "My lord, I can't understand this humble position. Didn't Dou Weiqi and Li Sheng obey the same master? Why did Li Sheng go to such trouble to arrange for someone to monitor him?" ? Are they having internal strife?"
There are clouds and mist under the cliff, and the pale mist floats on the edge of the cliff, completely covering up the situation at the bottom of the cliff. Even on the cliff, you can only see the hazy scene near the edge of the cliff, and further down, only the white mist remains. A vast area.
Han Changmu stood on the edge of the cliff, his clothes rustling in the strong mountain wind.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, his head slightly lowered, staring at the rolling white waves that were almost level with the cliff edge, full of doubts in his heart.
The reason why he chose this person among the many water bandits just now was because he recognized this person at a glance among the many water bandits. This person was Li Sheng's confidant Du Feng.
Later, he discovered that Wang Xian was also following this person, and he did not alert Wang Xian.
Now he was puzzled as to why Du Feng jumped off the cliff so decisively.
Even if you find someone following you, there is no need to be so decisive.
He stood on the edge of the cliff and hesitated. From time to time, the white mist rolled onto the cliff and fell on his shoes.
He narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly: "Li Sheng is suspicious, and his master is even more suspicious than him. It is common sense that no one can believe him. Wang Xian, did the water bandit say who Dou Weiqi is going to deal with?"
Wang Xian shook his head: "The water bandit said he didn't know. He just overheard Dou Weiqi's incoherent instructions to his confidants, saying that the people in the secret room could no longer be kept and that they needed to take medicine and kill them if they told the truth. Lose."
Han Changmu's eyebrows twitched. The person who could deal with it in this way must be an extremely important person and must hold an extremely important secret.
Before the two of them could reach a conclusion, the white mist suddenly started to ripple, and there was a violent rolling, and a subtle clatter of chains came from deep in the mist.
Han Changmu and Han Changmu looked at each other and flew away very quickly. Almost at the same time that Du Feng emerged from the clouds and mist, they hid behind the boulder and watched with bated breath as Du Feng climbed up the cliff as light as a swallow.
Du Feng stood on the edge of the cliff and did not leave rashly. Instead, he looked at everything in front of him with vigilant eyes and did not take a step for a long time.
To others, the unknown cliff is a dangerous place, but to him, the familiar cliff is a home ground where he can advance, attack, retreat and defend.
He was quiet for a moment, not noticing the aura of a second person here, nor any danger, before he turned around, tapped his toes, and moved away from the edge of the cliff.
Although he was anxious and anxious to rush back to the village to report the news, he still looked around cautiously while rushing towards the mountain road.
For some reason, there was always an indescribable feeling of panic in his heart.
I always feel that if I am not careful, my life will be lost here.
He walked across the boulders next to the corridor with one step at a time, stepping on the weeds on the ground with his feet, making a slight crunching sound.
The cool mountain breeze carried the fragrance of green grass and trees, sometimes gently and sometimes sharply. His heart was a little more restless and uneasy than when he came.
Less than three steps after walking past the boulder, the sound of wind behind him suddenly became sharp, carrying a hoarse murderous intent that penetrated directly into his collar.
Du Feng reacted very quickly, his expression twisted into a weird angle, barely able to avoid the wind knife at the back of his neck. When he raised his eyes again, he saw a ray of sword light hitting his eyebrows.
Unable to escape, he stood on the spot, staring at the people in front of him with a frightened and dull expression, and growled softly: "It's you! How did you get out?"
"It's us." Han Changmu winked at Wang Xian, put away the long sword in his hand, and raised his lips casually: "Did you say it yourself, or did we ask?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a chill stuck to Du Feng's neck, as if he had been licked by the core of a poisonous snake, and he shuddered inexplicably.
Wang Xian saw Du Feng trembling, pushed the short blade against Du Feng's neck inward, and sneered at the right time: "I never sharpen my knife, and the cut it makes is ugly." He clicked his tongue twice: " When the knife goes down, blood rolls out, oh, it hurts."
Although he was smiling and didn't say anything cruel, it still sounded particularly scary.
Du Feng's heart grew colder. Although he had not personally tried the methods of the Internal Security Department, he had heard a lot of rumors and knew how outrageous they were.
Human-skin fans, human-skin lanterns, and the like were all small tricks that were not surprising, but he shuddered when he heard them. When he thought that these methods might be used on himself, he felt that he would die immediately.
But no matter how scared he was, he couldn't tell the truth.
He lowered his eyelids and kept a calm face. He pursed his lips, but his mouth was still firm: "What do you mean by this, sir? I don't understand."
Their eyes met and the two of them engaged in a silent game for a moment. Han Changmu suddenly laughed out loud and raised his chin towards Wang Xian: "No matter what the means, you must ask for the truth."
"Okay." Wang Xian responded clearly, his excitement was palpable, and he eagerly grabbed Du Feng's collar.
Seeing this posture, Du Feng really felt fear. He was so frightened that his legs became weak and his whole body was shaking like chaff. He kept falling to the ground and was exhausted. It was obvious that he could no longer stand.
Du Feng closed his eyes in despair. Even though he was afraid of being like this, his lips were trembling so much that he couldn't say a complete sentence, and he didn't say a word.
Wang Xian slightly raised his eyebrows, and his smile became even colder: "The bones are quite hard." He moved his wrist, made two soft clicks, and said with a sinister smile: "It's been a long time since I've encountered such a hard bone. , I just relax my muscles and bones."
Wang Xian grabbed Du Feng's collar and dragged him behind the boulder without any explanation, leaving two winding drag marks on the dust.
The Internal Security Department's interrogation methods are not very attractive and cannot be seen in the light, so it is better to hide them to save face.
A short scream rang out. It was unknown what kind of injury Du Feng had suffered, and the scream was particularly sad and desperate. Then there was a rustling sound behind the boulder, like the sound of taking off clothes.
Han Changmu was not a kind person, and he often used unscrupulous means when interrogating people. He only asked for a result, and turned a deaf ear to the screams. He only coughed lightly, walked to the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, and stared intently at the rolling, undulating clouds.
The white clouds and mist are strangely swirling and undulating. I wonder what kind of unknown but shocking secrets are hidden in the unfathomable depths.
