The lean man said nothing.
Of course he couldn't speak. The feeling in his body was still there, but he didn't obey his command at all. Only his eyes full of fear moved.
Gu Dan stepped forward, took out several packages of medicinal powder from his sleeves, selected one package and sprinkled it on the lean man's body.
In an instant, the lean man's skin turned bright red, dense goose bumps bulged up, and the unbearable itching spread all over his body.
"Ho...ho!"
Miraculously, the lean man uttered untuned syllables from his throat, and his eyelids trembled.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...there's more!"
Gu Dan poured another packet of medicinal powder into his mouth and warned in a warm voice: "At first you will feel that the blood is blocked by something, then you will feel that the tendons are being pulled back and forth by someone's hands, and then... It is severe pain in the five internal organs, like a knife cutting.
There was a prisoner who had practiced dirty tricks and had a tough mouth. He lasted for a quarter of an hour. With me watching you, you can't be any worse than that prisoner! Otherwise, wouldn’t I be very embarrassed? Ding Ji has praised me for more than ten years. In front of him, you have to live up to your expectations. "
The lean man was lying on the ground. Although his body could not move at all, blood naturally flowed out from his pores, with a little blackness, and accompanied by white steam.
After about ten breaths, his body began to twitch involuntarily, and the tendons bulged high, twisting into a small hill like knots, bulging on the skin.
His pupils almost shrank into a line, revealing large swaths of the whites of his eyes. Blood gushed out from his facial features, and his cheeks were ferocious and terrifying.
"Can't you hold on anymore?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling extremely dissatisfied, "You have to pay back what you came out to do!"
A slender and powerful finger placed on the lean man's head. At the fingertips, a wisp of green light carried a strong vitality, trying its best to maintain his consciousness.
Pain that was slightly stronger than Wan Renjia's body emitted from his body. The lean man's body was like a broken water bag, blood gushing out wantonly. The pain was so intense that he should have fainted.
However, from time to time there was a cool air coming from his head, which made his consciousness sink into the sea of suffering of the physical body without relief. Only the face was extremely distorted, looking like a ghost.
After a quarter of an hour, the inner energy that had recovered a little in the body was completely exhausted.
Except for his head, the lean man's body was already in the shape of a dwarf, as if his body had been hollowed out from the inside.
Gu Dan stood up, without any pity in his eyes, "There is no way to bring blessings and misfortunes, people only bring them to themselves; retribution for good and evil follows them like a shadow!"
The night is still long.
The interest has been withdrawn, Jin Yiwei...it's time to pay the price!
...
Zhi'anfang.
There are 108 cities in the imperial capital, and Zhi'anfang is probably the worst one. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a slum in the imperial capital.
The thunderstorm was coming, but it couldn't wash away the fishy smell and stench all over the streets of Zhi'anfang.
Even though this place is in the imperial capital, even beggars don't want to come here to beg!
In a dilapidated room that looked like it had not been cleaned up for decades, Lu An, the commander of the Imperial Guards, lit a candle at night and sorted out the intelligence from various places one by one.
Another person knelt and sat next to him, respectfully waiting for Lu An's reply.
"Cough...cough!"
Looking at the letters from various places, Lu An clutched his chest and coughed suddenly. The short and fierce cough sounded like he was coughing out his lungs.
"Commander!"
The man kneeling on the ground quickly stood up with a worried look on his face.
During the trip to explore Yuzhou, Lu An was first slapped by Huang Chao and then ambushed by the leader of the White Lotus.
Among the hundreds of skilled soldiers dispatched by Jinyiwei, not even one out of ten was spared. Even the commander had to fight his way out and suffered heavy losses.
Now when there is a thunderstorm, Lu An feels cramps all over his body, breaks out in cold sweat, and wishes he could cough up blood.
"nothing!"
After a while, Lu An finally recovered, his face turned pale, and he said in a cold voice: "There are hundreds of alchemists in Qingfeng Temple, but it is impossible for them all to disappear. Continue to investigate, and we will catch every one we can."
"What should I do if I meet Qing Pingzi?" the subordinate asked.
"What should I do? This is the emperor's order. What should I do? You have to stop me even if you risk your life!" Lu An's eyes flashed fiercely.
Emperor Zongming issued a death order to find traces of Qing Pingzi as soon as possible and either capture or kill him!
The above sentence will break your legs if you run away.
Jin Yiwei did not have any masters at the master level, and at most they were just masters of Zang Zang training. They did not catch Qing Pingzi during their trip to Yuzhou, but they happened to find another martial arts master, Huang Chao.
Who should be arrested but not arrested?
Since Qing Pingzi can't be found, it would be a great achievement to capture Huang Chaosa and take him back. It would also be a great achievement to torture him and find out where the immortal stone he hid is!
Who would have thought that Huang Chao's strength was incomparable, and that a strong man with great mastery of Zang training would spit out blood after taking one punch from him. Not only was he not able to defeat him, but more than half of the Jin Yiwei were killed and injured!
Fortunately, the other party was worried that the army would not be too entangled, but on the way back, he was ambushed by the leader of the White Lotus... He almost lost his life there.
After such a long period of time, not only did he gain nothing, but he suffered heavy losses. He fled back to the imperial capital like a bereaved dog. If he didn't do anything, he would have completely failed Emperor Zongming's trust, and Jin Yiwei's power would inevitably suffer a huge blow.
In addition, Jin Yiwei has always shown no respect to anyone, so getting the emperor's order is a mess. It can be said that there is no way out.
A sharp sword is not allowed to rust after all.
"I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and then said: "Qing Pingzi has not been found yet, why do you need to target the Mo family? In winter, the emperor just praised Mo Qiu for his loyalty to the emperor and his country, and for being a great chivalrous man.
Recently, the Mo family has recruited many disciples, nearly three thousand of them! The Mo family is at its peak, and Mo Qiu is even able to push back the martial arts masters of the Huang Dynasty. If you provoke the Mo family at this time, will you..."
"You know nothing!"
Lu An's eyes were cold and cold, and he threw a letter directly into his face, "Mo Qiu was able to get the emperor's praise all because of his contribution to the immortal stone! What if Mo Qiu secretly hid the immortal stone? As long as he captured the emperor Doctor, if you get the witness, the emperor will definitely not allow such people who are seeking fame and reputation to exist in the world!
What about the martial arts master? Do you think there is no such thing in the palace? "
The subordinate picked up the letter, glanced at it, and his expression froze!
Are the spring willows as lush as summer?
It is beyond human power!
"I see."
The subordinate put the letter properly.
"What have they been doing for so long? They haven't been captured yet?"
Lu An waved his hand in annoyance. Things have not been going well recently. Not to mention the magnificence of the Alchemist, he himself is in trouble.
"boom!"
A muffled sound came from outside the door.
Before the two of them could make any move, they saw the door being kicked open.
A tall man stepped in.
The night was too dark, and the figure stood beside the door, looking like a shadow and unable to see clearly.
"Are you looking for me?"
