Chapter 226: Kill with Pleasure
The guards of the Mu Mansion had already seen the map of the palace and knew where the people were being held, so they rushed there with Zhao Luoxuan.
At the beginning, there were people trying to stop them along the way, but they were all beaten back one by one by the guards of the Mu Mansion, but time was delayed.
Zhao Luoxuan was almost going crazy. She chopped at anyone she saw with her blood-dripping sword, shouting, "Kill, kill anyone who dares to stop me! Kill, kill, kill!"
Everyone was afraid of the princess's crazy look. But she was a princess, so they just killed her and there was no place to complain. Soon, no one dared to stop her.
After wandering around the huge palace for nearly fifteen minutes, the group finally arrived at the East Garden.
The guards here were different from those who were just idling around outside. When they saw Zhao Luoxuan and Zhao Yuwen coming to kill them, they did not retreat at all and drew their swords to meet them.
Zhao Yuwen grabbed Zhao Luoxuan and said, "These guys are experts."
The guards of the Mu Mansion came forward and the two sides immediately fought to a standstill.
Zhao Luoxuan glared with red eyes and roared: "Anyone who dares to privately judge a military commander with great military achievements will have his entire family killed! I will take care of everything, kill them! Do not show mercy!"
Zhao Yuwen could not admit defeat, and waved his sword and shouted: "This prince is here, if you dare to resist again, you will be committing treason and murdering the royal family!"
One of the opponents hesitated for a moment and moved a little slower, and was immediately found an opening by the Mu family guards, and was immediately defeated.
Everyone rushed into the West Garden, where there was a large house.
The doors and windows were closed, and it was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see clearly inside.
Zhao Luoxuan felt a little uneasy. Her hand holding the sword was shaking slightly, and her steps were unsteady, stumbling after every two steps.
Zhao Yuwen quickly supported her: "You stay outside, I'll go in."
"No, I want to go in." Zhao Luoxuan bit her lip.
The door of the big house had been kicked open, and several people rushed in at the same time. However, when they saw the situation inside, they suddenly froze. No one dared to move and held their breath.
There was dead silence.
Zhao Luoxuan's heart was pounding and she almost jumped in. An unpleasant smell mixed with decay and blood hit her in the face.
She almost fainted from the smoke and bit her lips hard. The pain made her sober and she tried to open her eyes wide.
On the left side of the dark house, there was a water dungeon about ten feet square, with a cross standing in the middle.
There was no light in the room. A human-shaped black shadow was hanging on the cross, with the body below the waist soaked in black sewage, lifeless.
"Qi Jun..."
Zhao Luoxuan cried out at the top of her lungs and fell softly to the ground.
Zhao Yuwen woke up in shock and grabbed her: "Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan."
The Mu family guards had already jumped into the puddle to rescue people, but the iron chains were tightly wrapped around his arms and legs, making it difficult to untie them for a while.
The guard climbed out of the puddle crying, "The key, ask those bastards for the key."
For a moment, the room was filled with crying and cursing.
Almost all the guards of the Mu Mansion jumped into the puddle, trying to see if they could lift the cross.
Zhao Luoxuan woke up and crawled over using her hands and feet, crying.
Zhao Yuwen couldn't hold her back, and saw her rolling into the puddle. He was so scared that he quickly jumped down and pulled her out.
She didn't care and struggled to push him away, wading through the water towards the middle.
"Qi Jun, Qi Jun, hold on, I'm here to save you."
Her hoarse throat could no longer make any sound, but she still shouted with all her might.
After finally reaching the person, Zhao Luoxuan saw Qi Jun, who could not be called a human at all. Her eyes widened and she burst into tears.
"Qi Jun, you can't die, I want to marry you! Qi Jun, do you hear me?"
As she cried, she carefully held his hand and found that all five of his finger bones were broken, with only skin left connecting them.
Zhao Luoxuan held his hand and cried bitterly.
But he didn't react at all, his hands were ice cold and without any temperature.
Zhao Yuwen waded to Zhao Luoxuan's side with difficulty, and his face turned pale when he saw her appearance clearly.
"Oh my god! How can this be so cruel? Are they torturing people to death?"
Zhao Luoxuan yelled frantically: "He's not dead, he won't die!"
Zhao Yuwen felt a lump in his throat and he held onto his shaky sister, speechless for a moment.
Akabane and his men arrived, and when they saw the cell, they were completely stunned.
This place is clearly a torture cell, and the torture instruments are comparable to those used in the prison cells for serious criminals in the Imperial City. The whole room is filled with a strong, stale smell of blood and rotten meat.
Akabane: “Search.”
Several guards began searching around.
"Key, key, I have the key." The guard rushed in crying and crawling.
It took several people a lot of effort to loosen the man from the rusty cross. Several people hugged Qi Jun's body, all of them with tears streaming down their faces.
The seven-foot-tall man, with a strong body, now looked like a piece of soft meat, and most of his bones were broken.
Zhao Luoxuan couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
Chiyu and his companions carried a bunch of things and Qi Jun's body. Zhao Yuwen, holding Zhao Luoxuan and the others, walked out of the East Garden, only to find that Jiang Duo and his men had surrounded them.
Jiang Duo held up his sword, his face gloomy: "Put this man down, I will let you out, otherwise, none of you will be able to leave!"
Zhao Yuwen's eyes widened: "What did you say? Say it again!"
He is a prince!
Zhao Luoxuan is still the emperor’s most beloved daughter!
Jiang Duo, how dare he!
Jiang Duo snorted arrogantly: "So what if they are princes and princesses? You led troops to break into the palace and seize prisoners, which is against the law! Tomorrow, I will go to court to report to you two!"
Jiang Duo saw that the guards following Chiyu were carrying things in their hands, and they must have found something in the secret cell.
So, his father and elder brother sent someone to tell him that no matter what the cost, they must not be allowed to take the people and these things away.
Akabane looked at him coldly.
Neither Prince Pyeongan nor Crown Prince Kang showed up.
The lady guessed right. They knew that this matter was serious, so they let Jiang Duo handle it alone.
He stared at Jiang Duo with a cold look, "Master Jiang, you'd better think it through. The Black Armored Guards of the Mu Family are here, and you can't stop them. It would be fine if you make way for us to pass, otherwise, the Yongguo Mansion will not let it go!"
Jiang Duo sneered: "You are nothing! How dare you speak nonsense in my Ping'an Palace. You can see if you can stop me."
Zhao Yuwen was furious: "Jiang Duo, you are nothing! The generals of the Mu family army were released by the order of the emperor, and you not only detained them privately, but also tortured them to death so cruelly! You are openly disobeying the emperor's order! Now, you dare to threaten to kill the prince and princess, are you Jiang family going to rebel? "
Jiang Duo suddenly raised his sword arrogantly and walked straight to Zhao Yuwen, with the tip of the sword against Zhao Yuwen's neck.
He curled his lips and smiled: "There is no need for my Jiang family to rebel. This Liang Kingdom also belongs to the blood of the Jiang family."
Zhao Yuwen’s eyes widened.
Suddenly, my arms felt empty.
Zhao Luoxuan suddenly grabbed Jiang Duo's sword with one hand, and while he was stunned, she held the dagger in her other hand and stabbed it hard into Jiang Duo's chest.
Jiang Duo stared in a daze at Zhao Luoxuan, whose face was ferocious, red eyes and splattered with blood.
She pushed his sword away, grabbed his collar with her backhand, pulled out the dagger, and then stabbed it hard.
Jiang Duo opened his eyes wide and fell straight to the ground.
Zhao Luoxuan gripped the dagger tightly, and fell to the ground together. She rode on him, holding the dagger with both hands and twisted it hard on his chest.
Jiang Duo's body twitched and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.
