What's even more exaggerated is that there is a thick iron chain connected to the anklet, and at the end is an oversized solid iron ball, weighing several hundred kilograms.
So many chains tied this man tightly in the cell, making it impossible to escape.
Nie Chen couldn't help but wonder,
"Who is this? It's tied so tightly, Mingxuan doesn't even get this treatment."
The commander heard this and said quickly,
"My lord, this person is extremely dangerous, stay away from him."
Nie Chen was surprised. He was now several meters away from that person, with the cell door between them, so that person could hurt him.
So, out of curiosity, Nie Chen desperately looked inside. Suddenly, the man inside moved his fingers slightly, and with a snap of his fingers, a small stone shot towards Nie Chen's eyebrows at high speed.
When Nie Chen caught sight of his fingers moving, the hairs on his body immediately broke out, and a sense of life and death crisis came to his mind.
This was a reaction he had practiced by killing enemies on the battlefield. He immediately turned his head to avoid it, but the long hair on his forehead was hit by a stone, and it broke off and fell down.
The stone missed Nie Chen and hit the fence of Mingxuan's cell. There was a bang, and the wood as thick as an arm cracked.
Nie Chen looked carefully and saw that the stone had penetrated into the wood, three-thirds of the time.
It is conceivable that if the stone hit him between the eyebrows, his skull would not necessarily end better than that piece of wood.
Upon seeing this, the guards immediately stood in front of Nie Chen and drew their swords to point at the man inside.
"Amazing."
Nie Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Being tied up like this, he can still kill people with a stone. What is the origin of this person?"
The commander shook his head and said,
"I don't know. I just know that he was the person who assassinated Mingxuan. He was captured alive after the failure and imprisoned here."
"The person who assassinated Mingxuan? With such great skills, he didn't even succeed in assassinating him?"
Nie Chen was even more curious.
"I don't know. From what the cell leader said, it seems that he was tricked by his accomplices?"
Hearing this, Nie Chen said to the person inside,
"Hey, are you Mingxuan's enemy? So am I. We both have a grudge against Mingxuan, so we are our own people. Killing me won't do you any good. How about we talk?"
"Go away, I'll kill you if I get closer!"
The man inside said in a hoarse voice.
"So indifferent?"
Nie Chen was disappointed.
At this time, Mingxuan in the cell opposite suddenly sneered,
"Don't bother. If you want to recruit him, it's impossible. This kind of person is a professional assassin. He only works for money and will not be loyal to anyone."
Nie Chen turned around and asked,
"Do you know the origin of this person? Tell me."
"Why should I tell you?"
"If you don't tell me, I will catch all your sons and grandsons in front of you and execute them one by one."
Nie Chen said coldly.
Mingxuan suddenly raised his head and glared at Nie Chen. After a moment, he slowly said,
"This man's name is Jiang Lan, and he is from the Jiang family in Yunzhou. The Jiang family is a family of assassins who use money to kill people. They are a nest of snakes and rats, and have been the target of extermination by the officials of all dynasties.
The Jiang family has always been a single generation, and in his generation, only he and his nine-year-old sister were left.
After I killed the king and founded the country, he called his assassin team to come to the capital to assassinate me and restore Dafeng.
That's what he said, but how can such a person be loyal to the country? Someone must have paid for him. I thought it was you who invited him, but now it seems that it shouldn't be the case.
But some of his men felt that assassinating me would be too risky, and the money would not be much.
So there was a disagreement.
After they arrived in the capital, the person under his command who did not agree to assassinate me secretly found my subordinates and informed me.
So I set a trap, caught a turtle in a jar, killed all his men, and captured him alive.
In order to force out the identity of my employer, I tortured him severely, but he resisted until death.
There was no other way, so I sent people to capture his sister, and let a group of young and strong men ravage and humiliate her in front of him.
Unexpectedly, until his sister died, he did not reveal the name of his employer. "
"Beast! I'll kill you!"
Jiang Lan suddenly burst into flames, desperately trying to rush over and kill Mingxuan like a madman, but the heavy shackles were nailed to the wall and tied to the big iron ball, preventing him from breaking free.
Nie Chen also felt a chill, turned his head and frowned,
"You are really a beast. You can be so cruel to a nine-year-old child."
"Hmph, what's the point? Aren't you going to kill my little grandson too? What shame do you have to accuse me?
But this Jiang Lan is a tough guy and will never betray his employer until he dies.
At that time, as long as you spoke, you could save your sister's life. It seemed that you didn't care much about your sister. "
"Even if I say it, you won't let her go, and you won't let me go, so why should I say it?!"
Jiang Lan gritted his teeth and said.
When Nie Chen heard this, his heart moved, he knelt down and said to Jiang Lan,
"Jiang Lan, you should know who I am, so I won't introduce myself much. Now, I want to make a deal with you."
"Deal? What can you give me? Why should I make a deal with you?"
Jiang Lan said grimly.
"You are a killer and I am an employer, why can't you make a deal with me?
I hired you to serve me with your life, and in return, I let you kill Mingxuan with your own hands. "
"You want me to kill Mingxuan? Do you dare to let me out?"
Jiang Lan frowned and looked at Nie Chen.
"Why don't you dare? By the way, killing Mingxuan requires a lot of cuts. We can't let him die easily. How is your swordsmanship?"
"What I'm best at is knife skills. I know a hundred knife skills to cut human flesh alive without causing death."
Jiang Lan said quickly,
"If you ask me to kill Mingxuan, I can kill him all day long!"
"Okay, so is our deal done?"
Nie Chen smiled.
"One Mingxuan life is enough to buy my loyalty, but I still have three conditions."
Jiang Lan said quickly.
"Tell me about it. If you can satisfy it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
"First, if I help you kill someone, you have to give me money."
"Of course, merit will be rewarded. This is the case everywhere."
"Second, you have to return my double swords to me. They are my killing weapons. My best weapons are stored at the end of the cell."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you later. You can't kill someone without a weapon."
"Third, you must have an assassination and intelligence organization under you. If conditions permit, I hope they can help me appropriately. If they find Zhang Tao, tell me and I will kill him with my own hands!"
"Who is Zhang Tao?"
"One of my subordinates betrayed me, took Mingxuan's money, and worked as a dog for Mingxuan. It was he who went to my house to capture my sister.
It's okay for him to kill me for money, but he shouldn't kill my sister! "
