As the night fell, two figures leaped across the city.
"Did your husband give you that soldier's slip?" Liu Qing asked.
Jiaodong King Liu Ji and Xu Lingyu were put into sacks. Bai Nanyu took out a soldier slip and put them both inside.
Bing Jian is a divine space that evolves out of nothing.
After Huo Qubing used his sacrifice to make a soldier's slip, the internal area shrank, but it could accommodate two people.
"Um."
Bai Nanyu added: "Whenever the army goes out to perform military affairs, the Marquis will give him military strategies to make it easier for him to do things. I am not the only one who has them."
The water system around Chang'an is developed, with eight main rivers, namely the Dianshui River and the Jianshui River in the south. Jingshui River and Weishui River in the north.
There are also Fengshui and Laoshui in the west and Chanshui and Bashui in the east.
Liu Qing and his two men soon arrived at Xiaonan Mountain in the city.
There is a river at the foot of the mountain, which is a tributary of the Wei River leading into the city. It is called Nanshan River.
This is an inner city river.
There are low hills on both sides of the bank, and there are trees and bamboo forests on the mountains and banks.
The wind blows and the grass and trees rustle.
"Wake people up."
Bai Nanyu then took the two people out of the soldier's space, but still kept them in the sack and woke them up.
The weather in March is very cold, especially at night.
Liu Ji and Xu Lingyu woke up in the sacks, and the wind blew through the sacks, making them cool.
You can imagine how frightening the scene in front of you was for a well-dressed prince.
Like Hu Xiaoyu, Xu Lingyu also practiced music in the lineage of Zajia Quyue.
But when she woke up and tried to push the power in her body, she suddenly found that the power had disappeared and she couldn't use any strength.
She was horrified, knowing very well that her life was on the line, and she was afraid that her life was in danger.
Wuwuwu... The two people tried to struggle in the sack, but what greeted them was a violent beating.
Liu Ji still didn't know who his opponent was at this time.
When a person is in a sack, he doesn't even know what is going on outside, and all kinds of terrible assumptions follow.
Then the two heard someone outside talking: "What should I do with this woman?"
His voice was hoarse and he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.
"Kill him, what's the point of keeping him alive?"
Liu Ji and Xu Lingyu were shocked in the sack and struggled with all their strength, but it was all to no avail.
Then Liu Ji heard that there was no movement from Xu Lingyu, it was over...
The other party frequently killed people, and Liu Ji's whole body was trembling, and his hands and feet were numb with fear.
"Sink people into the river." Another voice sounded outside.
"No, help..." Liu Ji shouted in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't make any sound.
What is the origin of this group of gangsters and how cruel they are? They tied him up and beat him up, and then drowned him directly in the river. They didn't ask for money or any unnecessary entanglement. They just wanted his life.
How much hatred and resentment is this? !
Liu Jisui felt a chill coming over him, and he was actually immersed in the water.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die..." He clearly felt that he was sinking into the river.
My whole body was cold and the river water was flowing beside me.
The whole body was submerged in the river from the neck down.
Liu Ji also felt that the river water was rising rapidly, approaching his mouth and nose.
An unspeakable feeling of suffocation came over him, hitting his consciousness in waves.
From the outside, the position where Liu Ji was sunk into the river by Liu Qing and Bai Nanyu was absolutely stunning.
The two men hung the sack in the air with a rope, and tied the other end to two large bamboos growing beside the bank.
The weight of the sack caused the bamboo pole to bend slightly. When it fell, Liu Ji completely sank into the river. If he struggled hard, the river was not deep, and he could sometimes raise his head above the water to take a breath by using the rebounding power of the bamboo.
Whether Liu Ji can survive depends half on luck and the other half on how long he can hold on.
One form of torture is to immerse a person in water, making it feel like they are isolated from the whole world.
In this case, fear will come one after another, and even the touch of water flowing through the body will be infinitely amplified and become the source of fear.
According to later research, no one can persist in the water for more than 20 hours in a dangerous situation and completely isolated from the external environment. At best, they will go crazy and stupid, and at worst, they will scare themselves to death.
"Princess, if King Jiaodong doesn't hold on, he will really die..."
Even Bai Nanyu was shocked.
If a big man's royal relative dies, the matter will turn into a shocking incident.
She was worried that Liu Qing would be willful and cause a big mess.
"If he really dies, it's his fate. After I took charge of the embroidery clothes, I learned some of the things they did. This time, I was not only venting my anger for my husband, but also annoyed that they didn't know how to restrain themselves... He is lucky if he doesn't die. The lesson learned this time will prevent him from doing anything wrong again."
Liu Qing said fiercely: "If it were someone else, I would let you kill him directly."
"Why do you want me to do it?" Bai Nanyu asked.
"I have never killed anyone...I don't really want to do it myself."
Liu Qing said fiercely and cowardly: "Besides, if the King of Jiaodong is really dead, after the final investigation, someone will definitely be chosen as the scapegoat, but I didn't take action."
Bai Nanyu felt like she was struck by lightning and said in disbelief: "So you let me take action and push me out to take the blame at the critical moment?"
Liu Qingdao: "You want to take some of the most precious things in the world away from me. Without taking some risks, you just want to take it for nothing. There is no way. Now I tell you, will you do it?"
Bai Nanyu was silent for a moment, then resignedly said: "I listen to the princess!"
Liu Qing had the feeling that his own pig was missed by someone else's cabbage, so he gave Bai Nanyu a very dissatisfied look.
After the two of them dealt with Liu Ji, they went to the palace of Changshan King Liu Shun in Chang'an.
Bai Nanyu took out a secret plan to hide the two people's anger. In fact, she guessed that Huo Qubing would protect them secretly.
The two men activated the Ji Jian, masked their aura, and entered Changshan Prince's Mansion.
Liu Shun was so angry today that he flew into a rage and was still awake.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ming was injured by the champion, which will cause trouble in the future and make it difficult for him to make any progress in his spiritual practice." A close attendant reported.
Zhang Ming is the strong man who invited Huo Qubing to fight before.
The situation at that time was not that he wanted to be a hero or that he was overestimating his capabilities. But under the pressure of Liu Shun, someone must stand up, otherwise Liu Shun will never spare them.
The main hall of the mansion was dimly lit.
"Huo Qubing was very cruel," Liu Shun said coldly.
A guest from another residence said: "The Xiongnu, the disaster caused by the Dayue clan's annihilation shows that the champion's character is decisive, and he kills decisively without leaving any future troubles. I didn't kill Zhang Ming today because it was for the prince's sake and left some room."
The disciple who speaks is the one who has the final say on "there are few rivals and few rivals".
The meaning behind his words was that he wanted Liu Shun to stop here. Huo Qubing had already given in and did not kill them all. Prince, please find a way down the stairs and this matter will be over.
"He wanted to force me to kneel down, which was treasonous.
This king will never give up on this matter. "
Liu Shun got up angrily and returned to the bedroom in the back of the mansion.
The bright moon is in the sky.
Liu Qing and Bai Nanyu, as well as Huo Qubing and Zhuo Qingke secretly.
With Huo Qubing's skill, he followed the process of capturing Liu Ji and quickly robbed Liu Shun as well, and also sent him to the river at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
Liu Qing and Bai Nanyu returned home in the middle of the night, feeling refreshed.
In the Jinxiu Garden of the back house, Zhuo Qingke took off his brocade boots, revealing his small and delicate feet with insteps as white as snow.
She lifted her long eyelashes and glanced at Huo Qubing.
Seeing his eyes falling on his feet, he couldn't help but smile.
Her feet have perfect arches, her wrists and ankles are perfectly formed, and above her are her well-proportioned and delicate calves.
"It's getting late, husband, please take a rest soon," Zhuo Qingke said.
"Um……"
The night is long and dark like frost.
It's bright.
In Chang'an, the heart of the Han Dynasty, two princes disappeared.
Their attendants got up early in the morning and searched everywhere to no avail.
Soon, the entire clan was alarmed.
In less than an hour, the news reached the emperor who came down from the morning court.
"Your Majesty, it must be the champion. The only one who has the courage and ability to rob two clan kings is Huo Qubing."
In the emperor's study, someone from the clan revealed the number one target of suspicion: "Before the incident, Huo Qubing had a dispute with King Changshan."
The clan is really anxious this time.
No matter who did it, the disappearance of the two princes endangered the entire clan.
If people are not caught and punished severely, it means that all clan members may face similar threats.
This trend cannot last forever. More than half of the clan members in Chang'an came to the emperor's study to complain.
The emperor calmly reviewed the memorial and said calmly:
"If this is really done by Qu Bing, I will give you an explanation."
"Your Majesty must not tolerate him anymore, otherwise it will only lead to him becoming lawless and causing chaos."
"This matter is not trivial. Your Majesty must not be soft-hearted."
The emperor glanced at the clan members gathered together: "If he did it, I will fine him half a year's salary and remove him from the post of Lang Zhongling."
Everyone in the clan looked at each other.
This punishment sounds serious, and he was relieved of his duties.
But when I taste it more closely, it feels like it’s not enough.
The reason is that since he was promoted to Grand Sima, Lang Zhongling's position has become insignificant.
The leader of the 100,000 Imperial Guards is gay, but he is still the Grand Sima, and the lieutenant must listen to the Grand Sima.
Huo Qubing was quickly brought in as the number one suspect.
"I ask you, King Changshan and King Jiaodong, my elder brother and younger brother, disappeared last night. Is it you who did it?"
The emperor's voice was low: "If it's you and you admit it, I will punish you severely. If you don't admit it and I find evidence, I will punish you even more severely."
A more severe punishment would be a year's salary, plus the dismissal of the doctor... the clan members all thought.
Huo Qubing said seriously: "It's really not me this time. Your Majesty knows your ministers well.
If I did it, I would definitely not deny it. "I secretly added in my mind that I followed and watched the whole process and did not take any direct action.
The emperor said to his clan members: "It was not him who cured the disease.
The doctor ordered him to fight on the battlefield, but he still showed no fear among thousands of troops. If it's really him, I believe he won't be afraid to admit it. "
The clan members also believed it.
They looked down upon Huo Qubing and felt that he was arrogant and looked down upon no one except the emperor. They could not bear to stand above their clan members.
But there is a consensus that Huo Qubing is courageous and has been fearless since he was a child.
So when the prince was kidnapped, the clan first thought of Huo Qubing. But when he said he didn't do it, even the clan members believed him.
If he said he didn't do it, it really wasn't him.
This damn credibility, it’s true.
The expressions of the clan members turned to horror.
If it weren't for Huo Qubing, things might have been even worse.
"Okay, please retreat first. King Changshan and King Jiaodong are missing. I will ask the people who embroidered clothes to investigate thoroughly."
After everyone retreated, the emperor continued to review the memorial and said in a neither happy nor angry voice: "You didn't do it, who did it?"
Huo Qubing shook his head: "It's not me."
The emperor pondered for a moment: "Ping Xian?"
Huo Qubing shook his head: "It's not me."
The emperor became angry and said: "I must punish you severely for this matter, otherwise you will lose your memory. You dare to arrest King Changshan and King Jiaodong."
"Where is the person?"
"In the river below Xiaonan Mountain, three miles west of Zhudong Bridge in Nancheng."
Huo Qubing said: "Hanging for that short period of time shouldn't be life-threatening."
The emperor thought for a long time: "Is it clean?"
Huo Qubing nodded: "It's clean. No one knows who did it."
The emperor said: "Well, in the afternoon we will tell you that the person who embroidered the clothes has been found and rescued. We will continue to trace the murderer."
Huo Qubing understood what was going on. After searching for a while, he found no clues and it became a headless case.
The emperor's intention was to let it go.
His sister tied up his brother, which was the best way to deal with it.
"If this matter is revealed and it is said that Pingxian did it, my clan will be divided, which will give me a headache."
So the best way is to do this first if there is no result.
The emperor glanced at Huo Qubing: "I know everything my brothers have done, so if you have a dispute with them, I will turn to you, not because I don't care about family ties. In fact, I have achieved the greatest tolerance. Just keep them.
But you have to know what you can do and what you can't do, and don't let me down. "
This is already a very formal warning.
The emperor immediately took out the map of the country and stretched out his hand to flick it.
Huo Qubing looked at the picture. Today was a great battle between Han and Parthia, and the result would determine the direction of the subsequent war between the two countries.
