break the robbery

I never thought that Huarong, a small actor, would have the guts to kill the king.What's more frightening is that he does have the ability to kill kings, but I have always underestimated him. I have never seen the sword skills he showed at the banquet.It's a pity, he was too stupid and exposed himself too early. If he cheated the Lord's trust a little later, he would be able to succeed.

The moment Huarong Lijian made a move, I began to notice his murderous aura.In a panic, I hastily pulled the Lord over, but was still half a step too late.The sharp blade sliced ​​through the lord's clothes and stabbed his arm.Fortunately, this sword originally belonged to me, and I know that there is no poison on the sword.

The sword pierced straight into the wall behind the master, and the blade sank more than three feet, showing Huarong's determination to kill with one blow.

I pulled out the sword stuck in the wall and started fighting with Huarong, he still had my sword in his hand.During the fight, I discovered that Huarong's sword technique is mysterious, and her body technique is even more peculiar.Although he struck fiercely, he seemed to have no intention of hurting anyone's life, and his target was only the Lord.

But after drinking half a cup of tea, Huarong gradually lost her strength, as if she was exhausted.He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was captured alive by me.It's not that his skills are inferior to mine, but that his body is a bit too much.

On the way to the imperial capital, I found several doctors to see him. I know that his health is indeed not very good.Presumably he also knew in his heart that if he missed a hit, he would have no way out.

I took the sword from Huarong's hand, put the horizontal sword on his neck, and asked: "You are so courageous, you dare to do such a thing, my lord, who ordered you?"

Huarong knelt down on one knee, with an expression of indifference, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "No one instructed me to kill him. If I miss a hit, if I kill him, I will cut him. casual."

Looking at his appearance, I have seen a lot.In the Imperial Capital of Izumo, if you want to talk about torture methods, I would say the second, and no one dares to call it the first.Although I like to listen to his play, but if he tried to assassinate the Lord in vain, there is only one dead end. "This general has his own means to make you regret coming to this world. Come, press down, and you must ask the person behind the scenes."

"Wait a minute." The master walked over, clutching the wound on his left arm. There was blood all over the floor, and it seemed that the wound was not shallow.

I hurried over to help, "My lord, be careful of the wound." It's all hurt like this, so it's better for the imperial doctor Xuan to come and have a look.

The Lord came up to Hua Rong, looked down at him, and said, "Why do you want to kill Gu?"

Unexpectedly, this beautiful face didn't even lift her head, completely ignoring the existence of the Lord.I was angry in my heart, and moved the sword edge a lot closer to his neck, until a wound was cut on his white neck like jade, and blood immediately flowed down the sword edge.

The Lord pushed aside my sword, and slowly squatted down to look at Huarong's level, as if just to see his face clearly. "Take him down to be held in custody, but I have to interrogate him myself."

After the soldiers kidnapped Huarong, the Lord announced that the imperial doctor came to look at the injury.Although the wound was deep, fortunately it didn't hurt the bones, it was just a flesh wound, it would be fine after ten days and a half months.

After the imperial doctor treated the wound and left, the master began to review the memorial, as if he had completely forgotten that there was still a person who was about to take his life imprisoned in the prison.At this time, I am the only one accompanying the Lord, and the others are waiting outside the hall.For a good banquet to be disturbed by Huarong like this, the Lord must be very angry.

Around Haishi, I finally couldn't help asking: "Master, that beautiful face—"

"I have my own ideas about Huarong." Before I could ask, the lord interrupted me and said to me: "You don't have to guard me here day and night, it's getting late, go back and rest first. You escorted Huarong to the Imperial Capital these few days, you must be tired, rest for a few days and come back to guard."

"Why does the lord have to enter the palace with a beautiful face?" He is just an actor, no matter how good his opera singing is, he is still an actor in the end, yet the lord even invited him to a banquet with him.

Putting down the booklet in his hand, the master seemed to think of something, pondered for a while, and sighed: "Maybe it's because I saw the hatred in his eyes when I first saw him."

I was shocked when I heard the words, it turned out that the Lord knew about it early in the morning. "The lord has long known that Huarong has evil intentions and intends to assassinate him?"

The Lord smiled calmly and said, "It's considered."

"Then the lord will bring him at the end?" Since the lord already knew about it, why did he take such a risk? I really don't understand what the lord is thinking.

"Probably because I feel that life is boring and I want to have some fun." The lord got up and came to me, saying: "Life in the palace is boring, and I feel that the same things are repeated day after day. When reviewing the memorial that day, , I happened to think of this actor we met when we went out for a tour, and felt novelty for a while, so I thought of asking you to bring him. His opera singing is indeed good, and there is no other theater in the imperial capital that can match him. I saw a lot of people and things during that trip, but this beauty alone left a deep impression on me.”

"But, my lord, how can you take your own life as a joke?" How can such a big matter be trifling?He didn't even tell me that he knew beforehand, if my actions at that time were half a minute later, the sword would have passed through my chest.

"It's okay, anyway, he didn't really hurt my life. Have you forgotten that Master said that I have great fortune and destiny, and I won't die young before the age of 30. But Huarong's martial arts are really impressive. I was shocked. I have never seen such a fierce swordsmanship. If it weren't for his lack of physical strength, it would be difficult for even the master to defeat him. I thought he was just a frail actor, but I didn't expect him to be a hidden master Son."

"Xiao is so, the Lord shouldn't be so willful, allowing that pretty face to assassinate you."

"Okay, I see, you go back and rest."

"But, my lord—"

"Don't worry, I promise there will be no next time. I'm tired, you can step back."

"Yes, I will retire at the end." Because of my love since I was young, I knew the Lord's temper well, and I also knew that I couldn't hold him back, so I quietly withdrew.Once it is something decided by the Lord himself, no one can persuade it.

Although the Lord didn't want to pursue this matter for a while, I couldn't make it through.After leaving the master's bedroom, I went alone to the prison where Hua Rong was held.

Hua Rong was locked in a small cell, looking tired and pale.Akatsuki is like this, and I will never be merciful.But anyone who harbors ill intentions towards the Lord is already a dead person in my eyes.

I ordered people to hang him up with iron chains, and tortured him severely, but he didn't make a sound, but he was still a man.After passing out several times, I asked someone to splash him with cold water mixed with strong salt to wake him up.It's only the beginning of February, and the prison is still very cold, and sometimes a thin layer of ice can form at night.

Unfortunately, it was extremely cold today, Huarong was poured with cold water several times, and the thin clothes on her body were frozen.He was dropped in the air, unable to curl up, shivering from the cold, and convulsed a little.

If it is midsummer, I can ask someone to smear honey on his wound, attracting thousands of ants to bite.In my impression, no one can stand this.Huarong can last so long in my hands, it is considered a character.

I tossed and tossed until the sky was slightly brighter. I tried for most of the night, and I was tired, so I sat on the chair and squinted for a while.So much so that when the Lord came, I didn't even know.

The Lord seemed very angry when he came up, "I said I would try him myself, who made you come?"

I immediately knelt in front of the Lord and said: "The last general is only worried about the safety of the Lord, afraid that he has other plans."

This is the first time the lord has murdered me, and it was for an actor who had assassinated him and wanted to take his life. I really don't understand what happened to the lord.I have interrogated many prisoners in this way before, and the master never said much, and sometimes praised me for doing a good job.

"That's all, you get up. I know that you are only for my own good, and I don't blame you." The Lord helped me up, as if he was also blaming himself for losing his temper at me just now.My lord and I grew up together since we were young, and our friendship for so many years, although not blood brothers, is closer than real brothers.

I reported the situation truthfully, "This beautiful face looks weak and boneless, but in fact the bones are very hard. The general interrogated for most of the night, and he didn't explain a word."

The master glanced at Huarong who was unconscious, and said: "Wake him up, I have something to ask him."

"Yes." So, I asked someone to pour another bucket of salt water on him.

This time, he was awake, but seemed to be in a trance.

The Lord pinched his chin and asked, "Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate Gu?"

I have to say that this pretty face is really pretty.From my point of view, even though he is in such a mess at the moment, he is still beautiful and moving.

"You don't need to waste your energy in vain." Huarong spoke weakly, her voice was so low that she could barely hear it. "I have already said that I am the one who wants to kill you. It has nothing to do with others and no one instigates me."

"Huarong, don't think that Gu really has nothing to do with you. Gu knows where the other actors in Hongyefang are." The master said exactly what I said, why didn't I think of this trick.

Sure enough, when Huarong heard that the master wanted to trouble Hongyefang's other actors, her expression became a little excited, and she suddenly became more energetic, "This matter has nothing to do with them."

The lord smiled slightly, and said: "Whether they have anything to do with this matter, you don't care if you say it." The lord smiled very gently, but at this time, it often indicates that someone is going to be in trouble. "Go and invite me all the people from Hongyefang. It won't take many days to come and go. All I have is time, and I can afford to wait."

"Gao Tianyuan." Hua Rong seemed to be very afraid of the master's move, and began to struggle, the iron chains rattled.I ordered people to cast this iron chain with fine steel, no matter how strong the inner strength is, it can be locked, let alone his current sick body.

"Bold, don't call your Majesty by his name directly." I slapped him, how can a lowly actor like him say the name of the lord.Perhaps my strength was too heavy, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

The Lord signaled me not to do anything more, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.But obviously, Huarong didn't appreciate it, and tried to turn his head away, not wanting the Lord to touch him.But Huarong was tightly bound by the iron chains, she couldn't avoid the master's hand, she was still wiped with blood by the master.The Lord spoke slowly, with a very gentle voice, and said, "How about it, are you willing to speak now?"

Huarong calmed down and said, "What exactly do you want me to say?"

The Lord smiled slightly, turned around and slowly sat on the chair in front of Huarong.

This kid finally started to cooperate, it would have been better if it had been this way earlier, and he would have saved himself the pain of flesh and blood, and saved each other's troubles.The sooner he confessed, the sooner I would send him on the road.

I asked, "Why did you assassinate the Lord?"

Obviously I was the one who asked the question, but Huarong just stared at the Lord and said: "You ordered people to slaughter my whole family."

"Gu Jiaoren slaughtered your entire family?" The Lord frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and asked, "Who is Hua Wanzhong? Father? Uncle? Or cousin?"

I remember hearing the old class leader say that Huarong was taken in by Hongyefang more than a year ago, which happened to be the time when the Right Xianghua Wanzhong faction was uprooted.The case involved a lot, and indeed many people were sentenced.Coincidentally, Hua Rong is also surnamed Hua.

"Who is Hua Wanzhong?" However, Huarong didn't seem to know Hua Wanzhong.

"You don't know him?" The Lord was also very strange.

"Why should I know him?" I don't know whether Huarong really didn't know him, or pretended not to know, but judging from his expression, it seemed that he wasn't lying.But an actor is born to be the best at acting to deceive people. If he deliberately deceives, we will not be able to find the loophole for a while.

"You don't know him, and what kind of vengeance are you avenging? Since Gu came to the throne, you have only handled such a big case as Hua Wanzhong. Hua Wanzhong conspired to rebel, and he deserves to be punished. It just so happens that your surname is also Hua, and Hua Wanzhong What does weight have to do with you?"

After a long time, Huarong didn't answer, just lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

Seeing that Huarong was silent for a long time, the Lord asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"It's what you say it is." This seemed to be a tone of resignation, and it seemed that he was too lazy to explain.

Therefore, this made the Lord a little angry, "Hua Rong, when Gu talks to you well, you'd better answer Gu's questions seriously. Otherwise, Gu will definitely make you regret it."

Huarong probably thought of Hongyefang's other actors, gritted her teeth, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"Since you said that Hua Wanzhong has nothing to do with you, then Gu will put it another way. You said that the lonely man slaughtered your whole family, then who is your father? Who are your clansmen?"

"I don't have a father."

"Nonsense, how can a person not have a father?"

"Aniang said there is no, so I don't have one. My name is Huarong, but 'Hua' is not my surname, and Aniang said I don't have a surname."

"What about your mother?"

"died."

"How did you die?"

"Burn to death."

"What's your mother's name?"

"Hee'er."

"full name?"

"I do not know."

"Hua Rong, are you testing Gu's patience?" This Hua Rong seemed to answer all the questions, but she didn't reveal any important information to us.

"I really do not know."

"It seems that if you don't show some color to you, you won't be able to tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth. My mother and I have lived in the mountains since we were young, and my mother rarely told me about the outside world. Later, my mother took me to Jiuwei Mountain. There, I met some friends. We are the same people."

"Okay, I'll trust you for now. I'll let you go today, and when Gu comes over next time, you'd better figure out how to get back to Gu."

After leaving the prison where Huarong was held, the Lord went up to the front court.Regardless of whether the lord is sick or injured, as long as he is in Beijing for one day, the lord has never delayed the morning court.

For the next three days, the Lord never went to interrogate Huarong, but only told me not to trouble him again.So, in these three days, I never asked about Huarong again.When I accompanied the Lord to the prison three days later, something happened that made the Lord very unhappy, and the Lord lost his temper a lot.
