Chapter 72: The Beauty Trap

Xuan Cang asked again, "Your Majesty, how do we deal with this old monk?"

He kept Xu Kong because he thought the old monk must have some secrets that he hadn't told them.

If he tried to force a confession, Xu Kong probably wouldn't be able to hold out against Si Kong Yan.

Si Kong Yan heard what Xuan Cang meant and said lightly, "Let's deal with them together."

Xu Kong was shocked when he heard that.

His face turned pale, and he cried out, "Please spare my life! Your Majesty, spare my life! I have said everything I should say, please spare my life!"

Sikong Huang glared at him and asked, "My patience is limited, so I will only ask once. Are these the people that King Jing arranged to come in?"

Xukong's eyes dodged for a moment, and

he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Only these!" Seeing that this old monk dared to play tricks on him even when he was dying, Sikong Huang didn't waste any more words with him and winked at Xuan Cang.

Xuan Cang understood, strode to Xukong, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and pulled and twisted it hard.

'Crack! '

"Ah!!!"

With the sound of bones cracking, Xukong screamed, and cold sweat ran down his face from the pain.

Sikong Huang pulled over a chair and sat down facing Xukong.

He narrowed his narrow eyes, and even the teardrop mole at the end of his eye was filled with murderous aura, "Are you sure that's all?"

Xuan Cang grabbed Xukong's shoulder and exerted force.

With a sharp pain, Xukong realized that the man in front of him was not someone he could easily fool, and hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but once the secret is leaked, not only me, but also my wife and children will be in danger!"

Xuan Cang's face was full of disgust, "You are an old monk, and you still have a wife and children? You are really a dishonest dog!"

Xukong had broken the vow of adultery a long time ago, and it is not impossible for him to have a wife and children.

He didn't want to say it at first, but even if he kept it a secret for King Jing, King Jing would not appear immediately to save him.

At this moment, the most important thing is to save his own life.

"Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing has promised me wealth and glory, he has my wife and children detained. If I betray him, my whole family will die! I am willing to tell His Majesty everything I know, and I beg you to save me and my wife and children!"

Xuan Cang drew out the dagger from his waist and gestured back and forth on the empty white fat neck, "If you don't tell the truth, you will die! Once you die, your body and the bodies of these fake monks will be sent to Prince Jing's mansion. How do you think Prince Jing will deal with you? Wife and children?"

Xukong felt the cold touch of the sharp blade of the dagger scraping across the skin of his neck, and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! King Jing has also arranged a number of young and handsome monks to interpret divinations for the ladies and wives of the official families!"

These handsome monks have all undergone special training. Not only are they eloquent, they can make these ladies and wives who come to the temple to ask for divinations and fulfill their wishes happy by interpreting divinations, but they can also act as listeners and listen to them tell about the various troubles they encounter in life.

When chatting with the ladies and wives of the official families, the fake monks will use their beauty to coax and deceive them to get useful information from these women.

They collected many unknown secrets of officials, accurately found the weak points and stains of officials, and pulled these people into the camp of the third prince by coercion, inducement, or both kindness and force.

Although this method is despicable, it is extremely effective.

Sikong Huang frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Which officials have been caught?"

Xukong was stunned by the question and shook his head, "This... I don't know either."

"The emperor is questioning you, why don't you tell the truth?"

Xuan Cang simply grabbed Xukong's hand and broke his fingers one by one.

Xukong screamed in pain and trembled, "I don't know! I really don't know!"

Xuan Cang said in a stern voice, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Xukong shook his head desperately, "Good man! Please spare me! I really don't know...ah!!!"

Xuan Cang removed his other arm expressionlessly.

This kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Even in this situation, Xukong still shook his head, "Your Majesty... every word I say is true... every word is true!"

Xuan Cang raised his arm holding the dagger suddenly, and the cold light fell, piercing a bloody hole in Xukong's shoulder, "Speak or not?"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Xuan Cang really wanted to kill him, Xu Kong did not dare to resist, and gritted his teeth and said, "Although I don't know the list of officials, His Royal Highness King Jing left me a letter, asking me to wait for him in this yard at 15:30 tonight."

After saying that, without waiting for Sikong Yan and the others to speak, he emphasized solemnly, "Really! I swear, I will never dare to lie to you!" Sikong Yan looked at Xuan Cang and said, "I don't know the list of officials, but His Royal Highness King Jing left me a letter, asking me to wait for him in

this yard at 15:30 tonight ." With a glance, Xuan Cang retracted the dagger and said coldly to Xukong, "Then I'll give you one chance! The last one!"

After that, he pried open Xukong's mouth and force-fed a black pill, "Dare to play tricks, I'll make your intestines pierce and your stomach rot!"

Xukong shook his head repeatedly, "I dare not! Monks don't tell lies!"

The three words "monk" coming out of Xukong's mouth are really the biggest irony for monks!

At the last moment, the guards outside the yard retreated into the dark.

Xukong, who was fed with medicine, stood in the middle of the courtyard, glanced at the sky, and whispered to the dark night sky, "Your Highness? Your Highness King Jing? I'm here, where are you?"

No one responded, only the rustling sound of the bamboo in the corner of the wall due to the night wind.

Sikong Yan was sitting in the house. When he heard Xukong's trembling voice, his eyebrows sank, "This idiot! Xuan Cang!"

Xuan Cang was standing at the door. When he heard Sikong Yan's words, he realized something and immediately broke out.

At this moment, a beam of fire broke through the night and shot into the courtyard with a "whoosh" sound!

"Be careful!"

Xuan Cang drew his sword and blocked the arrow.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, several flaming arrows fell on the walls and roofs of the courtyard, and soon flames broke out.

Sikong Yu was planning to abandon Xukong and all the fake monks who were captured!

While Xuan Cang knocked down the flying arrow, he turned his head and asked the man in the house, "Your Majesty, they are planning to destroy this villa!"

"Capture them alive!"

"Yes!"

Xuan Cang left a few people to protect Sikong Yan, and the other secret guards followed him to chase in the direction where the arrow came from.

Several places in the yard were ablaze with fire, and Xukong took the opportunity to escape.

A black shadow took advantage of the moonlight to draw a bow and arrow.

The sharp arrow flew like lightning!

Before Xukong ran to the door, he was pierced through the chest by a sharp arrow.

His body stiffened, and he slowly lowered his head to look at the blood-stained arrow.

Xukong opened his mouth, but no sound came out, and his body fell softly.

After a while, he was completely motionless.

After the black shadow who shot the arrow hit the target, he did not stay and prepared to evacuate.

Who knew that as soon as he turned around, a sword light chopped down on his head.

The black shadow narrowly avoided the sword, and was obviously stunned when he saw clearly that the person who attacked was Shen Yushu.

While he was distracted, his left shoulder suddenly hurt.

It was Shen Yushu's sword that unexpectedly pierced his shoulder!
