Li Xian didn't notice Li Xian's anger.

After returning to the team, he did not mention the secret hand, but used the excuse of "colliding with evil" to explain what happened this time.

Ordinary soldiers, faced with such unbelievable things, can only believe it.

But some really smart people, such as Su Qingjie, know very well that things are not that simple.

Although he was curious about what happened, since the prince used "caught evil" as an excuse, he couldn't ask any more questions.

However, thinking of the danger of the scene just now, at his insistence, Li Xian had no choice but to be escorted back to the camp by them.

With the departure of the emperor and empress, the camp became empty.

Knowing what Li Zhi was thinking, with his body, he could die suddenly at any time. Now that I have finally eased up a bit, and I can be wild, I definitely want to have fun.

Although I can no longer participate in the hunting in person, it is still okay to watch from the side.

Don't disturb his mood. Now that you've returned to the camp, you must take over the mutton cooking yourself.

Although Li Xian was frightened, he didn't see anything unusual and believed the theory of "hitting evil spirits".

Now that he returned to the camp, he immediately forgot about the danger just now, and ran towards the goat he shot, howling.

After dusting off, Li Xian also came to the kitchen.

The half-grown sheep has been properly prepared by the cook, and even the spices have been put on it.

I once heard people who like to eat mutton say that if too much seasoning is added to mutton, the original taste will be lost. I don’t know if this statement is correct, but compared to trying, Li Xian thinks it is better to just use spices honestly.

The mutton smell of the whole lamb was suppressed a lot, but seeing that the cook did not do "acupuncture" on the lamb, Li Xian still did it himself, pricking the lamb in various places with a small fork, and then added the ingredients again.

When Su Qingjie came to the kitchen, he saw that the prince was concentrating on handling the mutton, so he said nothing and stood quietly waiting.

After spraying a layer of strong liquor on the mutton, Li Xiancai turned around and said to Su Qingjie with a smile: "General Su, I'm fine, I'm sorry that I lost your interest in hunting because I was in danger. "

Hearing this, Su Qingjie quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness is too strong in your words. I cannot bear your apology. It is the duty of the General to protect His Highness."

He nodded and glanced at the first mountain. Seeing that it was still busy, Li Xian said, "General Cheng, I don't know if he can succeed. General Su, how about you go and help?"

"this...."

Seeing Su Qingjie's hesitation, Li Xian added, "The guards in the camp are absolutely sufficient. General Su doesn't have to worry."

"Well, since His Highness said so, I will go and help Lao Cheng."

Seeing the prince's insistence, Su Qingjie had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Su Qingjie stand up and leave, Li Xian turned back and continued processing the mutton.

After a while, Li Yun came over, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, General Su and his family generals have left the camp."

After hearing Li Yun's words, Li Xian put down his fork and asked the cook to take the mutton aside and continue marinating it. When he looked back, he had already put on a serious expression.

"Is there a problem with Su Qingjie?"

"No problem. According to the slave's verification, General Su's decision to protect you was a temporary decision. Besides, most of the generals in the court can be trusted, and there is no conflict of interest between you and them, Your Highness."

"So much the better."

Sitting on the chair, Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

After experiencing a life-and-death situation, it is nonsense to say that I am not afraid. It was precisely because of fear that Li Xian had to include Su Qingjie as a suspect.

Although the evaluation of this man in the history books is pretty good, who can guarantee that he is just like what the history books say?

Throughout the dynasties, all the last emperors were not necessarily fatuous. All the founding emperors were not necessarily wise. The so-called history is just a story written by later generations. It has some credibility, but it is by no means 100%.

Looking back at the sheep that had been moved aside by the cook, Li Xian couldn't help but have the idea of ​​poking it a few more times.

Just processing the mutton was also an outlet for him.

Not everyone can stay calm when their life is almost lost.

Taking a long breath and feeling the restlessness in his heart, Li Xian raised his head, looked at Li Yun, and said with a smile: "Where is the eunuch who is still alive?"

Seeing the prince's smile, Li Yun felt a little chilly for some reason.

Pointing to the northwest corner of the camp, Li Yun said: "In the dense forest over there, the slaves are afraid that getting too close will attract others' attention."

After speaking, Li Yong took the initiative to lead the way without giving any instructions.

After passing through a large camp and a forest, a cave appeared deep in the forest.

In the cave, the smell of barbecue was so clear.

Passing through the torches one after another, in the wide interior of the cave, a eunuch was tied to a tree stump. Looking at the earthworm-like whip marks on his naked upper body, you can tell how much torture he has suffered.

Normally, Li Xian might still feel a little guilty, but now, he was not in the mood to think about that at all.

When people are planning to kill you, you still have the feelings of a Holy Mother. Are you afraid that you will die too slowly?

Taking out a bamboo pole, Li Yun pointed it at the eunuch's body from a distance, and introduced: "Your Highness, you see, the scars on this man's body are old wounds. These people have been trained since childhood. He has a very strong tolerance for pain and the like, and to tell you the truth, this slave has already used every punishment he can think of, and if it goes any further, he won't be able to survive."

After taking a look at the injuries on the assassin's body and listening to his breathless breathing, Li Xian nodded.

Indeed, as Li Yun said, a punishment of this level is enough.

Since this man still didn't let go, it proved that simple punishment was useless.

If it were other dead soldiers, they might be able to use a trick like "Kill your family", but for eunuchs, it would obviously be useless. They already had no descendants, so no one could really influence them.

Is there really nothing we can do?

After thinking about it carefully, Li Xian suddenly came up with a plan and said to Li Yun: "Give him broth to make him energetic. If he doesn't say anything, tickle him!"

"Tickling?"

Li Yun's eyes widened and she felt itchy...

No, it seems, it does make some sense.

Although tickling may seem like a joke between people, it is really uncomfortable when being tickled.

This person has a high tolerance for pain. Maybe he can't bear it if it's tickled?

"My slave understands!"

Looking at the bound assassin, Li Yun suddenly realized that his current mood was actually a bit dumbfounding.

This is the first time that I have used tickling as a punishment.
