Mountain River Festival 183. The miserable state of the most beautiful woman

Ruyang City

In the most remote corner of the west of Ruyang City, there is an inconspicuous courtyard. From the outside, this courtyard is the same as all the courtyards in Ruyang City, and there is nothing particularly eye-catching. Even the owner of the courtyard goes out to buy groceries, go shopping, and take a walk every day like the neighbors. But when you really enter the second entrance of this courtyard, you will find that this is a completely different world from the outside. Because this is the most mysterious and most elite Qilin stationed in the Dingguo Palace. As soon as an idle person steps into the wish, he will fall into the hands of the Qilin who are resting and learning here. Then the painful experience that will be suffered is definitely enough to make anyone regret living in this world.

Late at night, a dark shadow quietly entered from outside the wall. The figure landed without making any sound due to his superb lightness skills. The man in black took a quick and cautious look at the entire courtyard, then raised his feet and wanted to walk towards his destination.

"Don't move." A deep voice sounded behind him. The man in black was startled, his eyes dimmed and he stood still obediently. "Qilin is indeed worthy of being regarded as a fierce tiger by Xiling. I admire him."

At the moment he spoke, someone quietly came to his side, patted him a few times, and all the weapons he was carrying were searched out. The man in black did not resist. He knew that there were definitely more than one person watching him in the courtyard at this time. "You are not bad to be able to find this place. Come with me to see the commander. Master Han." The man in black - Han Mingyue was stunned, and finally shook his head with a bitter smile, "You have known me for a long time..." The man next to him sneered, "If you don't know, Master Han, do you think you can find this place?" Han Mingyue was speechless and followed the man next to him into the room.

Under the candlelight, Qin Feng was still sitting in the study reviewing the thick files. More than a month ago, he had just selected more than 300 elites from the army and the secret guards to receive initial training outside the city. Relying on his own training experience and the large amount of information left by the princess, he finally got on track. As the leader of Qilin, Qin Feng insisted on checking the information of these trained soldiers every day to evaluate their future development possibilities. At the same time, he had to further train himself and the original members based on the information left by the princess. Therefore, Qin Feng was busy every day and had no time to think about those infuriating things. Of course, Qin Feng did not intend to figure out whether this busyness was inevitable or deliberate. So when Qin Feng saw Han Mingyue being escorted in, his mood immediately turned bad. He was very busy, and Han Mingyue's arrival would undoubtedly make him even busier. More importantly, Han Mingyue's appearance would remind him of some unpleasant things.

"Mr. Han, you are here so late, do you have any advice for me?" Qin Feng leaned back in the chair and stretched his stiff neck. He squinted his eyes lazily, but his half-open eyes revealed an undisguised danger.

Han Mingyue was not surprised that anyone who was related to Ye Li would never like him. She bowed to Qin Feng and said with a faint smile, "Sorry to bother you, Commander Qin."

Qin Feng glanced at him indifferently, meaning, if you know you are disturbing him, why are you here?

"I want to meet Zui Die. Commander Qin, please make an exception." Han Mingyue knew that Qin Feng would never talk to her about this matter if she didn't mention it, so she said it directly without beating around the bush. Since Su Zui Die was handed over to Qin Feng by Mo Xiuyao two months ago, she was taken away from the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. After all, the size of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion is not enough to accommodate all the people in the Prince Dingguo's Mansion. Therefore, people like the secret guards, Qilin, and most of the civil and military officials left the Prefectural Governor's Mansion to find other places to live. Now the only ones still living in the Prefectural Governor's Mansion are Mo Xiuyao himself, his trusted Feng Zhiyao, Xu Qingze and others, and he who has nowhere to go for the time being. Since Su Zui Die was taken away, Han Mingyue has never seen her again. This made him worried. Without Tianyi Pavilion, Han Mingyue had to spend a lot of effort to find Su Zuidie's whereabouts even in the small city of Ruyang. Now it seems that even this is the result of someone letting him off. Han Mingyue couldn't help but smile bitterly, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart. Without Tianyi Pavilion and the Han family, Master Mingyue was just an ordinary person.

"Su Zuidie?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have just remembered the existence of such a person. His face darkened slightly, "If you want to see Su Zuidie, please ask Master Han to go and explain to the prince in person."

Han Mingyue smiled bitterly. If he could persuade Mo Xiuyao, why would he break in here late at night? Seeing his expression, Qin Feng understood what he meant and said calmly, "Without the prince's permission... Young Master Han, let alone you alone, even if you bring thousands of troops, you won't be able to see Su Zuidie." Han Mingyue raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that the people under Qin Feng were very powerful. Although there was no detailed information, their battle record in less than half a year was enough to prove their strength. But it would be too confident to say that they could defeat thousands of troops. However... he couldn't bring out thousands of troops now.

Qin Feng observed his expression with interest, leaned back in his chair and smiled, "Master Han, you misunderstood. Qilin will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but he will never fight to his death. What I mean is... as long as there is no consent from the prince, even if Master Han breaks in... I will kill her the moment before Master Han sees her. If Master Han wants to see the scene of Su Zuidie's death, you can try it."

Han Mingyue was silent. He knew Qin Feng was not joking. Although Ye Li was not killed by Su Zuidi herself, if she hadn't suddenly launched a hidden weapon, Ye Li wouldn't have fallen off the cliff. If Mo Xiuyao hadn't wanted Su Zuidi to be alive, I'm afraid the people in Dingguo Palace would have cut her into pieces long ago. Sighing, Han Mingyue said, "I just want to see her once. It's okay if we don't talk."

Qin Feng had already picked up the file again, and his intention to send the guest away was self-evident.

"Mr. Qin, let me meet Zui Die. I'll exchange it with you for a top-secret message." Han Mingyue said in a deep voice.

Qin Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, but said calmly: "Qilin has no mission for the time being and is not collecting information. If Mr. Han has anything to say, he can go to the prince."

Han Mingyue smiled bitterly, because he had already approached Mo Xiuyao twice about Su Zuidie, and Mo Xiuyao had made it clear that if he saw him again, he would either throw him to the King of Xiling Zhennan or let him accompany Su Zuidie. He did want to see Su Zuidie, but that was to save her life. If he was really thrown to accompany Zuidie, then it would be the end. "Commander Qin, your prince will definitely be interested in this news. Moreover, this is also related to the death of Princess Ding." Qin Feng's hand that was flipping through the file paused slightly, and he seemed to think for a moment before he started talking and said, "Tell me about it."

"I want to see Zui Die first." Han Mingyue did not forget what Qin Feng said just now that Qilin would do anything to achieve his goal, so crossing the river and destroying the bridge obviously included that. Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, stood up and said, "No problem, you can see her, but you can't talk and she can't see you." After that, he grinned at Han Mingyue and said, "I'm not worried that Mr. Han will go back on his word. Similarly, if your news does not satisfy me, you will soon see... what kind of punishment Su Zui Die needs to endure because of you."

Han Mingyue's body froze, and she stared at Qin Feng in silence for a long time before she sighed and said, "Princess Ding's method of training people is really amazing..."

Qin Feng shrugged and sneered, "It could have been even more powerful. Please come in, Mr. Han."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Han Mingyue felt mixed emotions. She really couldn't tell whether she regretted going to such great lengths to meet Su Zuidie.

They were standing in a very simple and ordinary room. Ordinary people would never find anything special here. But after the mechanism on the wall was opened, they could see the empty secret room behind the wall. And it was under their feet. They could see the whole secret room from a high vantage point. Han Mingyue saw Su Zuidie at a glance. Because there was only Su Zuidie in the room at this time, Han Mingyue really doubted whether the person on the ground was Su Zuidie.

The gray prison uniform was full of dirt and bloodstains. Su Zuidie lay powerlessly on the dirty ground. Even though they were standing at such a high place, they could still smell the foul smell coming from below. Han Mingyue clearly saw her fingers twisted strangely and lingering on the ground. Her leg was also twisted. Even though she was already asleep, her leg still twitched from time to time. Her face was full of pain, and she shook her head and muttered something from time to time. If you look closely, you will find that she is saying again - I was wrong... Spare me... Help...

"What did you do to her?" Finally, he couldn't help but ask.

Qin Feng said calmly, "Don't tell me there is no torture in Tianyi Pavilion. Don't worry, my people are not all novices. Even if they lose their sense of propriety occasionally, they will not take her life."

Han Mingyue couldn't help but shudder. Of course, he knew all about those secret punishments. Young Master Mingyue was not a living Bodhisattva. He had tortured his enemies without changing his expression before, but he had never thought that those methods would be used on the woman he loved the most. "She is just a weak woman. How can she bear those methods?" Qin Feng shrugged. Who cares whether she can bear it or not? As long as she doesn't die, it's fine.

"In fact, she can endure better than most people." Qin Feng still looked at Su Zuidie differently for this reason. Torture is not something that can be learned by just talking. Of course, it requires training, and training naturally requires people. Su Zuidie was not alone. In fact, there were two other people who came in at the same time as Su Zuidie, two men who knew martial arts. In the situation of no leniency at all, the two men couldn't stand it and committed suicide, but Su Zuidi is still alive. "Actually, this can't be blamed on us. The princess was originally very opposed to this bloody interrogation method. And she herself has a lot of experience in this. Unfortunately, she disappeared before she had the chance to teach us everything. So... we can only trouble Miss Su to continue to use the old method. In addition, Mr. Han doesn't have to worry. Her injuries are not... well, except for her legs, they are not irreversible injuries. Someone will help her fix her finger bones tomorrow morning. The healing elixir provided by Mr. Shen guarantees recovery within ten days."

Han Mingyue's face was gloomy. "I'll let you interrupt me after I'm done?"

"It's pinched off. The fingers are too thin to be hit easily, unless they are completely smashed, which is never possible." Qin Feng corrected.

"So... will her hand be able to fully recover in the future?" Han Mingyue yelled. Just by listening to Qin Feng's tone, one can understand that this is definitely not the first time and will not be the last time. No matter how good Shen Yang's medicine is, it is impossible not to leave some aftereffects.

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Master Han, do you think she still has a chance to get out?" The prince did not say that he would guarantee that she would be intact. In fact, the fact that Su Zuidi is still intact at present already means that his subordinates are very sensible. "Master Han, don't worry, we will not touch her face. If Master Han's news satisfies me, you can take the time to come and paint two portraits as a souvenir. The prince said that if she is made too ugly, it will scare the princess and the young master."

Han Mingyue's face turned pale, but she couldn't say anything. Finally, she took a deep look at the woman lying on the ground with a weak breath, turned around and followed Qin Feng out of the room.

"The man named Tan Jizhi next to Mo Jingqi is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty." Han Mingyue said, meeting Qin Feng's cold eyes.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, "Master Han, are you kidding me?" A descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty? If it was in the past, this might be considered good news, but now, they and Mo Jingqi are secretly at loggerheads. Who has the time to care whether the people around him are descendants of the previous dynasty? Even if Mo Jingqi himself is a descendant of the previous dynasty, it has nothing to do with them.

Han Mingyue said coldly: "Although Tan Jizhi only officially appeared in the court this year, he has been with Mo Jingqi for more than ten years. He is Mo Jingqi's most trusted confidant and think tank. Do you think this is important?"

Mo Jingqi's confidant and think tank?

Qin Feng frowned. He was chosen by Mo Xiuyao from the numerous Black Cloud Riders and handed over to Ye Li, and he also received Ye Li's affirmation to become the leader of Qilin. Qin Feng's abilities in all aspects were at least above average. So after hearing Han Mingyue's words, Qin Feng immediately realized what Han Mingyue wanted to express. A descendant of the previous dynasty, even if the previous dynasty had been destroyed for more than two hundred years, but such a person appeared beside the current emperor and appeared as a confidant, it would always make people pay attention and be vigilant. Qin Feng would certainly not forget that when Mo Jingqi tried to seize the military power from the princess in Chujing before the troops were dispatched, this man named Tan Jizhi had made things difficult for the princess.

In just a moment, Qin Feng's mind had turned hundreds of times. Staring at Han Mingyue in front of him, Qin Feng said expressionlessly: "How can I believe whether what you said is true? And...if even Prince Ding's Mansion doesn't know this news, how did Master Han know it?"

Han Mingyue said calmly: "After all, I was once the master of Tianyi Pavilion?" Tianyi Pavilion controls the largest source of information in the world. What's so strange about knowing some news that others don't know?

Qin Feng snorted, "If it was any other news, I might not find it strange, but if it was in Chujing... Is Tianyi Pavilion really capable of finding out news that even Prince Ding's Mansion doesn't know?" Over the years, not only has the emperor been keeping an eye on Prince Ding's Mansion, but Prince Ding's Mansion has also never relaxed its vigilance against Mo Jingqi. Otherwise, during the years when Prince Ding was seriously ill and closed his door, Prince Ding's Mansion would have been swallowed up by the royal family long ago.

"If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say. This person definitely had a hand in Princess Ding's incident. Think about it, if Mo Xiuyao and Mo Jingqi break up, who will really benefit?"

Of course, it was the surrounding countries and Mo Jingli who occupied the land as the king. Of course, if what Han Mingyue said was true, then Tan Jizhi should also be counted as one. In fact, whether Qin Feng believed it or not, such news had to be reported to Mo Xiuyao.

However, Mo Xiuyao's reaction to this shocked Han Mingyue.

"Cut off Su Zuidie's left arm!"

"You're crazy!" Han Mingyue yelled at Mo Xiuyao, who looked calm. Mo Xiuyao looked up at him and said calmly, "Tell me the source of the news, or I will cut off a part of Su Zuidi for you in less than an hour."

"I said that!" Han Mingyue said angrily.

"I don't believe it." Mo Xiuyao pushed away the account book in front of him and said, "Don't forget who owns Tianyi Pavilion. I know how many people you have in the capital. Or, are you telling me that you have hidden something in the previous deal with me? Then, I can still kill Su Zuidi." Han Mingyue looked at him with a complicated expression, "Don't forget, her father and brother died for the people of your Mo family." Mo Xiuyao leaned back in his chair, his pale face showing fatigue and indifference, "So what? I said... if A'li doesn't come this year, no one can save her."

Ye Li is dead! Han Mingyue wanted to yell this sentence, but he couldn't say it when he saw Mo Xiuyao's indifferent eyes. Or he didn't dare to. He was not sure what the consequences would be if he yelled this sentence. "Mo Xiuyao, you lunatic..." Han Mingyue whispered. Mo Xiuyao sneered in a low voice, not caring about Han Mingyue's evaluation. "I have always been more sober than you. I know what I want to do, Han Mingyue, do you know?" He wanted to wait for Ah Li and their baby to come back. If Ah Li didn't come, he would slowly kill, kill those who wanted to hurt Ah Li and hinder them, and keep killing until Ah Li came back or he died. "Now, tell me the answer, or you want Su Zuidie's arm?"

Han Mingyue closed his eyes in frustration. He began to doubt whether it was right or wrong to tell Mo Xiuyao this news. "Zuidie told me."

"Haha, interesting..." Mo Xiuyao laughed softly, "Su Zuidi told you? A woman who was far away in Xiling and was treated as a chess piece by the King of Zhennan who could be discarded at any time...actually knew such secret information? Qin Feng, Zhuo Jing."

"I'm here." The two men stepped forward to obey orders.

Mo Xiuyao said coldly: "Within one day, I want to hear the answer from Su Zuidie. I don't care what method you use."

The two looked at each other and said, "As you command."
