"..."
Li Su and Zi Ying came to the mud pit on the west side of the courtyard together.
The two people in the mud pit were pale and their eyes were full of panic.
"There won't be poison in their mouths, right?" Li Su asked in a deep voice. He remembered that Zi Ying said before that these two thieves might be the killers of the Imperial City Division. As killers, if they fail in their mission, they will usually take the initiative to bite the poison and commit suicide. .
Ziying said lightly: "Is that important?"
Li Su nodded, "That's true. If there were any, they would probably have been laid to rest by now."
The faces of the two people in the mud pit looked very stiff.
"Untie their dumb points first." Li Su ordered.
Ziying stretched out a slender jade finger, pointed it towards the two of them in the air, and two invisible energy shot out.
"The true energy is released..." A flash of envy flashed in Li Su's eyes.
"You are...Hua Nongying!" A person on the north side of the mud pit looked at Ziying in fear, his voice trembling.
Li Su blinked and asked softly: "Is this your real name?"
Ziying said softly, the matter was over, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"It's dark on the sand and on the pond, the clouds break through the moon and the flowers make shadows." Li Su hummed a sentence and praised with a smile, "It's very poetic."
Ziying curled her lips and said angrily: "Are you here to recite poetry?"
"I'm teasing you." Li Su slandered, with a smile on his face, and looked at the two people in the mud pit, "You two, why are you visiting my small house late at night?"
Neither of the two people in the mud pit answered, the fear in their eyes still lingering.
After waiting for a while, there was no answer from the two people. Li Su suddenly looked at Ziying and asked, "Which country are you from?"
Ziying was startled, then softly uttered one word: "Chu."
"One of the reasons why they came here is probably related to 'Chu', right?" Li Su continued to ask.
Ziying thought for a while, nodded slightly, "That's right."
"That's good." Li Su looked at the two people in the mud pit again, "These two are probably just two pawns. It's useless to kill them. Why not just use them to send a message to the big shot behind them."
The eyes of the two people in the mud pit lit up slightly.
Ziying frowned, feeling a little disappointed. She thought Li Su could ask something.
"What are you spreading?" Ziying asked casually, thinking to himself that he was also stupid. How could an ordinary young man from the city stand up to the Daqian Dynasty?
Li Su smiled and said: "Later, carve eight characters on the back of the person on the left."
Ziying and the two people in the mud pit were both stunned.
"Although there are three households in Chu, Chu will definitely die if we die." Li Su said leisurely.
Ziying paused and glanced at the man on the left in the mud pit.
"Despicable." After the person on the left side of the mud pit reacted, his face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and cursed, his voice full of panic.
Once you have these eight characters engraved on your back, when you go back, let alone yourself, you will be afraid that all nine of your own clans will be implicated.
"You are smart." Li Su was surprised. He thought he would have to explain it himself so that the two of them could understand what it meant to have the words 'Although there are three households in Chu, Chu will surely die' engraved on the back.
"You...just kill me." The man on the left side of the mud pit gritted his teeth.
"Say your name, and I won't carve those eight words on you." Li Su said, "Otherwise, even if you bite your tongue and commit suicide now, you will still be carrying those eight words on your back."
"Zhang Quan." Zhang Quan said in a dull voice.
"Where is the person next to you?" Li Su continued to ask.
Zhang Quan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Chen Zhong."
"Your identities." Li Su said.
Zhang Quan frowned and remained silent.
Li Su looked at Chen Zhong on the right and muttered: "Where there is a will, there is a way. The Hundred and Er Qian Pass will eventually belong to Chu. What do you think of this sentence?"
Chen Zhong, who was already extremely frightened, suddenly turned green.
"If you think there are too many words, I can think of eight more words for you." Li Su said, and said thoughtfully, "Father and mother, heaven and earth, repeat themselves again and again.
How about these horoscopes? "
Chen Zhong said in a dull voice: "We are the captains of the Imperial City Division."
"It's really the Imperial City Secretary." Li Su glanced at Ziying.
"Continue." Ziying's face was expressionless, and she was quite surprised. She didn't expect that this man, without punishing him, actually frightened the two Imperial City captains to speak on their own initiative.
"As far as I know, the contemporary King of Wu'an, Wu Jian, is also here." Li Su looked at the two people in the mud pit, "This shows that what you are going to do will be completed in the near future.
You two are just two pawns. Now that you are exposed, if you go back at this time, you will inevitably be held accountable.
If you wait until everything is over and you two sneak back, you might be able to fish in troubled waters and get through it. "
Chen Zhong and Zhang Quan didn't say anything, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
As a captain of the Imperial City Division, if you do things poorly, the consequences will be serious.
"If we imprison you, wait until the matter here is over, and then let you go back, you will throw the blame on us." Li Su said with a smile, "By then, even if you are held accountable, there is a high probability that you will not be held accountable. will die."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Zhang Quan couldn't help but asked in a muffled voice.
Li Su smiled and said: "There are only two of you, so there is still a possibility that you will take the blame. As the saying goes, the law does not blame everyone, if the captains of the Imperial City Division who come to my house to investigate the situation all fall into the mud, think about it. , do you still have responsibilities?"
"You want us to betray the Imperial City Division?" Zhang Quan's face darkened.
Li Su shook his head, "When others fall into the mud pit, you will faint, and the one who betrays the Imperial City Division will be one of the latecomers."
Zhang Quan and Chen Zhong were silent, understanding what Li Su meant.
"If you feel embarrassed, I won't force it." Li Su said softly, "Then just engrave it."
After saying that, Li Su glanced at Ziying and said, "First, engrave the four words 'Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother' on Zhang Quan."
"Okay." Ziying smiled charmingly.
Zhang Quan's face turned green and he asked quickly: "What do you want to know?"
Li Su smiled and glanced at Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong immediately said: "Zhang Quan is my eldest brother, I listen to him."
Zhang Quan: "..."
Li Su looked at Ziying and asked warmly: "Do you want me to avoid it?"
Ziying's eyes flashed and she hummed, "It's up to you."
"If I stay, I will completely know your and Xiaoqi's identities." Li Su leaned into Ziying's ear and whispered.
"So what?" Ziying hummed, her heart beating a little faster.
Li Su smiled, said nothing more, and interrogated the two people in the mud pit with Zi Ying.
According to what Zhang Quan and Chen Zhong said, they followed Cao Huaji, the governor of the Imperial City Department, and came here from Chaoge City to capture the wanted criminal, the former Princess Chu Yunran.
The five hundred miles surrounding Gusu City are filled with patrol guards, blocking all roads.
The most elite Xiuyi Guards of the Imperial City Department are lurking in the main palace of Gusu City; three hundred lieutenants are located in various districts of Gusu City, closely monitoring the Qianhu Guards of the four major patrol departments, as well as some people on the Xiuyi list.
Li Su, who has a close relationship with Zuo Lin, is one of the people on Xiuyi's list.
