Chapter 335: Old things brought up again! Third marriage?
The coldest days of winter have passed, but water still turns to ice under the north wind.
Several people were shirtless with their arms tied, kneeling outside the tent and shivering. The blood under their knees had frozen into ice, sticking to large pieces of flesh, making them unable to move, and the sounds of screams and wails were endless.
"My lords, are you still unwilling to tell the truth? It seems that I should invite you to have some more tea." Wen Ziduan, wearing a black cloak and a golden crown to tie his hair, sat upright on a chair covered with tiger skin, playing with the teacup in his hand.
These people really won't cry until they see the coffin. He raised his eyebrows and poured the tea in his hand at one of them. The moment the tea touched the skin, the man let out a pig-killing howl and then trembled uncontrollably.
"Oh, it's crooked. I hope you don't mind. I've never had much patience." There was no apology on his face, only blatant ridicule. "Gu Guan, why don't you take the ice off the master?"
Gu Guan remained silent, but his hands moved calmly. He reached out and grabbed the ice on the man's shoulder, pulling it hard, and caught the skin and flesh in his hand. Blood sprayed all over the face of the person kneeling next to him.
"Your Highness, spare me! Spare me... Is that not enough?" Some of them could not bear the torture and fear and had already wet their pants out of fear. However, the warm liquid froze into ice the moment it flowed out, looking extremely miserable.
Wen Ziduan raised his eyelids. Was he finally willing to speak? He had waited too long, and Zisheng was eager to return home, but he couldn't return to the court until the matter of Yumen Pass was resolved.
These people had colluded with Zhizhi Chanyu, causing the soldiers on the border to suffer terribly and the people to be displaced. If the nails were not completely removed, Wen Ziduan would not be able to return to the capital with peace of mind and reconcile with He Zhaojun.
The group has been staying here for three months. During this period, the three girls, He Zhaojun, Cheng Shaoshang and Jin Yuji, often taught the local people how to survive. Both the Xiongnu tribesmen under Huhanye Chanyu and the indigenous people of Yumen Pass praised them highly.
It's just a pity for a few young men, as it's their normal state to want something but not get it.
Ti Houshan looked at Wen Ziduan, feeling extremely anxious and conflicted; Wen Ziduan repeatedly brushed past He Zhaojun, gritting his teeth in frustration; Huo Buyi had to queue up for a number if he wanted to see Cheng Shaoshang, and was so angry that he practiced boxing on Gu Guan like a punching bag all day long; and Wen Zikun chased after Jin Yuji like a follower all day long, just hoping that she would look at him when she was free.
If this continues, I don’t know what will happen to the others, they will go crazy.
As a result, the local backlog of cases was retried, and the earliest ones even involved the previous dynasty. Wen Ziduan and Wen Zikun tried their best to find out the truth in every detail. Huo Buyi and Ti Houshan trained the troops all day long. The two sides fought until the soldiers complained bitterly, and they actually learned each other's fighting style.
As for Long Feibai and Doctor Sun, they were already too busy compiling medical books and also trying to solve the frostbite problem for the people in the north. They were already very busy.
"Don't ask anymore. Tian Shuo's influence is very limited. These people probably really don't know about it." He Zhaojun felt a little distressed when she saw the traitor covered in bruises.
They betrayed the soldiers at the border and deserved to be put to death, but she did not want Wen Ziduan to investigate in this way. "Tomorrow is the Little New Year. After that, let's set off back to the capital, okay?" He Zhaojun finally gave in. To Wen Ziduan, it sounded like heavenly music.
He hugged He Zhaojun tighter again. "My dear Zhaojun, you finally agreed to return to the capital. Have you stopped blaming me for saving you from the Imperial Court by offering me a marriage alliance?... Can we have a wedding banquet?"
