"Hmph! He's just a little prefect of Qinzhou! He dared to draw his sword back then, how could I tolerate him!"
The concubine sneered.
In fact, she was a little afraid of Xiao Yuan, because Xiao Yuan wanted to kill her when they first met, which was a lingering fear in her heart.
Zhong Bai laughed again, his laughter full of ridicule and contempt.
This gesture made the concubine angry and couldn't help shouting: "You Jian!"
"I'm here." Hearing her call, You Jian hurriedly ran in, holding his hands and bending down, showing his groveling attitude.
"Use all the tortures one by one! Let him suffer all the torture!" The concubine pointed at Zhong Bai.
"Follow your orders!" You Jian didn't hesitate. He immediately responded after hearing the words: "It's up to the empress. I will make sure that I can't live or die."
As he spoke, he took the riding whip from a jailer, moved his arms, and said with an evil smile: "Zhong Bai, don't panic, let's warm up the lower body first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he already waved his hand and whipped twice, lashing out hard.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
With these two whips, You Jian gritted his teeth and used all his strength.
Bloodstains suddenly appeared.
Zhong Bai trembled, tilted his head, and remained silent.
"Hmph! I didn't expect this handsome young man to be quite tough." The concubine sneered.
"Don't worry, Madam, there are no tough men here in Weichen." You Jian said quickly to please.
"Nail his lute bone!"
"Shoulder lock!"
"Execution!"
Next, there was another round of torture.
Under this kind of torture, Zhong Bai finally couldn't help but let out a miserable howl.
He was also a human being. The steel nails penetrated his flesh and penetrated his inner bones. It was impossible not to cry out in that kind of pain.
The concubine looked indifferently... At the same time, Zhong Mansion.
"Master, the young master entered the palace and has not returned yet. There must be some accident. I have asked many people, but it will take some time for the news to come back." Liang Yuan said anxiously.
After hearing this, Father Zhong frowned: "Did Bai'er have any explanation before he left?"
"The young master said that if he does not return, I will take the master and the young lady to Qinzhou as soon as possible." Liang Yuan said truthfully.
"Well..." Father Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "First find out where Bai'er is and then make a plan."
"Yes." Liang Yuan responded and said, "In addition, I have already traveled six hundred miles on a fast horse to Qinzhou to deliver a message to Mr. Xiao."
A few days passed like this, and every day, Zhong Bai was suffering inhuman torture.
And he was imprisoned, under the order of his concubine, in secret, and no news was revealed at all.
Liang originally wanted to save people, but he had no idea where Zhong Bai was being held. He asked people about him every day and spent countless gold and silver to smooth relationships.
On the other side, Qinzhou.
The Yangzhou sergeant who delivered the letter was very panicked. He probably killed two horses on the way. After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan suddenly stood up and asked coldly:
"Is this serious!?"
"It's absolutely true, General Xiao. My young master's life and death are uncertain now, and he may be in danger at any time..." the soldier said tremblingly.
"This is unreasonable!" Xiao Yuan was furious when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Come here! Send an order to Peng Shuang! Gather all the cavalry immediately!"
"No!" Someone took the order and left.
When Shangguan Wenruo saw this, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said tentatively: "Sir, do you want to use troops against the imperial capital? In my opinion, please think twice about this matter."
"Zhong Bai is my sworn brother! How can I not save him! There is no need to say more about this matter!"
Xiao Yuan was furious, and as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the hall, left the prefect's mansion, got on his horse, and headed straight for the military camp.
Under his military order, 10,000 Qinzhou cavalry quickly gathered. Looking around, it was a dark place. All the knights were equipped with short crossbows and swords hanging on their waists. They were all on their horses, waiting in formation.
After Xiao Yuan arrived, he didn't say anything nonsense. He held the riding whip in his hand and turned the horse's head directly: "Let's go!"
Due to the preciousness of war horses, the Qin army now only has ten thousand cavalry, and Qinzhou is far away from the imperial capital. If infantry is used, it is still unknown how long it will take before the march arrives!
Without further ado, Xiao Yuan did not dare to delay, and led ten thousand cavalry, galloping towards the capital.
A few days later, on this day, Liang Yuan finally got a clue. After learning where Zhong Bai was being held, he said nothing. On the one hand, he began to gather his subordinates to prepare for the rescue. On the other hand, he ordered the masters in the mansion to escort Zhong Bai. Father and Zhong Duoduo left the city.
He did what he said, and after arranging everything, he immediately started taking action. However, as soon as he stepped forward, the emperor's imperial edict arrived.
He wants to kill the entire Zhong family!
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers rushed into the Zhong Mansion, killing and beheading everyone they met.
The screams of servants and maids were everywhere.
Blood splattered, sudden changes occurred, and screams broke out.
Liang Yuan, at this moment, is leading a large number of elites to the prison to rescue Zhong Bai. He has left a group of masters in the mansion, and these masters are all loyal to Zhong Bai.
Most of these people were knights in the Jianghu. They were greatly favored by Zhong Bai. No one escaped at all. Instead, they united and launched a bloody battle with countless soldiers.
Every corner of the Zhong Mansion was filled with the sound of weapons clashing.
From time to time, maids were chopped down and screamed, and from time to time, soldiers were killed with a sword.
In a certain courtyard.
"Dad!" Zhong Duoduo shouted, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
She desperately wanted to step forward, but was pulled tightly by a knight: "Miss! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time! Leave quickly!"
Within sight, Father Zhong had died on the spot.
"Dad" Zhong Duoduo was still struggling desperately, her tears falling like broken pearls.
Being hit by this change, one can imagine what kind of mentality she must have had.
But now it is urgent and not the time to be indecisive. The knight will not let Zhong Duoduo go. He will pull her away.
As soon as they went out, several soldiers rushed towards them. When they saw Xiake and Zhong Duoduo, they didn't say anything and just raised their swords to chop them.
The knight held Zhong Duoduo with his left hand. With a flick of the wrist of his right hand, the sword was as sharp as a poisonous snake. In just a few blows, several soldiers were killed.
During the chaos in the Zhong Mansion, under the protection of a group of righteous men, the knight finally protected Zhong Duoduo and fought his way out.
More than a dozen people, after leaving the mansion, headed towards the city gate.
Because Liang Yuan had promised to meet outside the city.
On the other side, outside the prison where Zhong Bai is.
Liang Yuan was holding a sword in one hand, and he was leading a large number of elite men behind him, showing a menacing momentum.
Seeing this scene, You Jian, who was at the door of the prison, was startled. He immediately pointed at Liang Yuan and shouted: "Liang Yuan! You are so brave! Do you know what you are doing!"
The latter didn't even pay attention to him. When he saw someone was about to stop him, he swung his sword and chopped him to death on the spot.
oops! When You Jian saw this, he couldn't help but screamed, and then ordered repeatedly: "Quick! Stop him! Stop him!"
While he screamed, he also rolled and crawled, and was the first to escape from here.
Liang Yuan had no time to pay attention to his escape. He pointed his sharp sword forward and shouted in a cold voice: "Kill!"
