Chapter 295 She really seems to be glowing at this moment!

After the doctor gave the medicine and left, Ling Xiao immediately rushed to Mei Niang.

Before she could say anything with her eyes wide open, he spoke quickly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. Just wait a moment, you'll be free soon."

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, then she raised her lips in a mocking tone, "What are you guys trying to do?"

Judging from the tone of their voice, they must have thought Ling Xiao was one of them.

Ling Xiao quickly explained, "I'm not playing tricks. I came here because your sister asked me to."

But she acted very indifferent, "I don't have a sister. My sister died a long time ago."

Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Ling Xiao directly spat out four words, "Double-patterned cloud embroidery!"

"How do you know this?!" Mei Niang's eyes finally moved and she looked at him in disbelief.

Ever since her parents died because of this embroidery method, she has repeatedly warned her sister not to reveal any information about double-pattern cloud embroidery.

Was he really brought here by my sister?

Or did they do whatever it took to get her to submit, even finding out all this?

Just as he was hesitating, Lord Huo and Yan Hongyue walked in from outside.

The two seemed to have heard her exclamation, and as soon as they entered the room, they asked, "Who were you talking to just now?"

The moment before they appeared, Ling Xiao immediately turned over and rolled under the bed.

Faced with the inquiry, Mei Niang hesitated for a moment.

She was not sure whether the other party was really here to save him or was teaming up with the man surnamed Huo to tease her.

If it was the latter, if she answered no, she would inevitably be beaten for deception.

But she stayed in this dark place, longing for a ray of light.

So even though there were many dangers, she didn't want to extinguish this only glimmer of hope.

"No, I was in so much pain that I hummed a few times to myself."

When Lord Huo heard this, his expression changed immediately. He sat down beside the bed with a distressed look on his face and reached out to stroke her cheek.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so harsh, but I really couldn't control myself. If you were willing to be with me, how could I do that to you?"

The voice was gentle and tender, sounding like the intimate whispers of a lover.

But after knowing that there is a vicious devil under that decent face, these gentle words are like whispers from hell.

Yan Hongyue walked around the room, then came to Mei Niang's bed and asked again, "Is there really no one in this room?"

Mei Niang said unhappily, "Yes."

"Where?"

"You are not human? Oh, you really are not human, you are beasts!"

Yan Hongyue narrowed her eyes. "You know what happens when you deceive us, right? The traitor had his flesh combed off with an iron brush until all the flesh on his body disappeared, leaving only his bones. He finally died."

Mei Niang shuddered unconsciously.

The tragic scene at that time is still vivid in people’s minds.

"Or do you want to be made into a human skin lantern? With your skin, I cut a knife from the back of your neck, slowly split it in half, peel off the flesh, and tear it off like a butterfly spreading its wings. How beautiful would that be?"

"I... I don't know what you want to know. No one has ever come to this room!" Mei Niang gritted her teeth and refused to give in.

Yan Hongyue sighed, "Master Huo, my little pet is disobedient. I might have to take him away and discipline him."

Lord Huo frowned, but did not stop him, "Don't play with me."

"Don't worry, if you die from playing with her, I'll find you a toy that's more fun than this one."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the maid to take Mei Niang away.

Ling Xiao, who was hiding under the bed, couldn't bear to listen any longer. He never thought that those cruel tortures that had long been abolished still existed in this world.

He rolled over and showed up on his own initiative, "I'm your grandpa, come and catch me!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the window.

But he was not familiar with the road, and was caught up by Yan Hongyue before he ran far.

He turned around and prepared to strike back, but before he could exert any force, the sound of the silver bell came closer to him.

He didn't know what kind of mysterious trick it was, but he suddenly lost the power to resist and became limp without any strength.

Yan Hongyue glanced down at him and said slowly, "Do you think you can get away?"

Ling Xiao: “…Hehe.”

Finished!

Miss, come and save him!

He was dragged into a room filled with torture instruments.

A maid brought a tray with many wooden cards on it, just like the emperor flipping over green cards.

Yan Hongyue raised her hand and nodded, "Divide by quarters, torture, boil, cane, force-feed lead... choose a way to die."

Ling Xiao's heart trembled, "How can I not choose?"

This doesn't comply with the trial process!

Generally speaking, shouldn't we first ask him whether he is willing to confess voluntarily, who sent him, who is the mastermind, and then use torture if he refuses to confess?

How can I skip all this and directly choose how to die?

And death is not scary, what is scary is that every way of dying here is enough to make life worse than death!

"Well, if you don't choose, then just use the Five Punishments. What do you think?"

All five elements are involved, including beheading, amputation, cutting off hands, as well as gouging out eyes and cutting off ears, which is literally cutting a person into pieces.

Yan Hongyue picked out a long and thin knife from the rows of knives on the wall and said, "How about we start by digging out the eyes?"

Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer and closer to his eyes, Ling Xiao was almost going crazy.

It’s over, it’s over…

He's going to die here.

Just as he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, with the sharp knife only an inch away from his eyes, a small stone flew over and deflected the blade.

He heard a familiar voice -

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you!"

Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw Xie Zhuoning running towards him without hesitation, he finally understood why his master liked Miss Xie so much.

At this moment, she really seems to be glowing!

Li Cong and Li Jue were fighting with Yan Hongyue. Xie Zhuoning took advantage of the situation and pulled out Chiyu from his calf, removing the shackles from Ling Xiao's body.

"The terrain here is too complicated. I arrived a little late. How are you? Are you not injured anywhere?"

Ling Xiao quickly shook his head, "No."

My body just feels weak, probably because I accidentally took the muscle softening medicine.

"That's good," Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief, "I said I wouldn't let anything happen to you. If anything goes wrong with you, I'll be guilty."

As she said that, she immediately asked Xia Ju to support Ling Xiao, "Brothers Li Ming and Li Ding are waiting outside, let's go quickly."

As they spoke, several people were about to retreat.

Yan Hongyue left Li Cong and Li Jue behind and ran straight towards Xie Zhuoning, her voice somewhat excited, "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be Miss Xie. Since you have taken the initiative to fall into our trap, I will not be polite. Because of you, we have suffered a lot!"

Xie Zhuoning quickly retreated, looking innocent, "I have no grudges against you in the past or in the present, and we have never met. You are wrongly accusing me of this."

"Unfair?" Yan Hongyue raised the corners of her lips and laughed strangely.

"When we tried to assassinate you, nearly half of our elites died, and even the owner of this building was blinded. You also ruined the Yihongyuan that we have run for several years, and you repeatedly ruined our business. If I kidnap you and give you to the owner of this building, he will definitely be very happy!"
