The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

A quarter of an hour later the prisoners were led away.

"what!"

"Help!"

"Kill me! I can't stand it!"

The screams came one after another, and one of the prisoners who was separated alone felt his heart pounding.

Were all the brothers tortured?

Then why didn't anyone beat him?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Situ Mo walking towards me.

"They have all confessed, now it's up to you."

As he spoke, Situ Mo drew his sword and said, "If you tell the truth, I'll let you go. If you tell a different story, you'll have to die."

The prisoner looked at Situ Mo in disbelief: "They... confessed everything?" No way, they don't want money anymore?

Situ Mo asked calmly, "Xie Yuantang went to the back mountain, right? What did she do?"

The captive seemed surprised and asked, "The little princess went to the back mountain? I didn't know that. I'm just a soldier and I have no right to talk to her."

Situ Mo raised his eyebrows: "So, Xie Yuantang is indeed with you."

Prisoner: “…” No, you are cheating me!

Situ Mo asked again: "Where did Situ Yan ask you to gather in the forest?"

The prisoner shook his head: He doesn't know, he is dumb!

Situ Mo nodded: "So you did discuss a meeting place."

Prisoner: “…” Little Princess, it’s not that I’m unfaithful, but this man is too terrifying!

Situ Mo came to the second prisoner.

The second prisoner was puzzled: those screams just now, did his brothers die? Why didn't anyone beat him?

Just as he was thinking about it, Situ Mo got straight to the point and said, "They all confessed and said that you should gather in the south of the dense forest."

The second prisoner was stunned: "South?"

Situ Mo nodded: "It seems not."

Prisoner 2: “…” It’s over, did he reveal something?

Next, Situ Mo eliminated them one by one. By the time the last prisoner had finished asking, he almost knew where Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan's team was.

"Let's go, they are to the east."

Situ Ya asked in confusion: "Why did Third Brother go to so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just torture him?"

Situ Mo glanced at her and said in a cold voice: "Although the Qiuwu Competition is a matter of life and death, my father does not like killing. If I torture the soldiers just to win the competition, won't my father think that I am selfish, narrow-minded and cruel?"

Situ Ya was startled and said respectfully: "Royal brother is right, Ya'er is short-sighted."

Situ Mo no longer looked at him and led his men eastward.

……

Somewhere in the woods.

Leng Yunchao looked at the team that was still following him and asked, "How many are missing?"

Yan Mo said in a deep voice: "Fifteen people are missing, all from our team." Because of Xie Yuantang's instructions, they did not dare to let her team be short of anyone.

Leng Yunchao nodded and said, "Okay, let's inform them that we won't go east, but west."

This was what he had discussed with Xie Yuantang before the action. If no one was missing, they would go east. If anyone was captured, they would go west.

But only Leng Yunchao knew the second half of the sentence, and no one else below knew it.

Hong Qi seemed to understand, so she pulled Bai Fu aside and asked in a low voice, "But they may not necessarily betray us."

Bai Fu smiled and patiently explained to her: "No one said they betrayed us, but don't forget that our opponents are the emperor and the third prince. Sometimes they don't even need to say anything, the other party may have guessed the truth from their expressions."

The group turned west, going in the opposite direction of Situ Mo.

……

Back mountain.

Situ Qing and his group hurried back to the mountain.

Halfway through the journey, a voice suddenly shouted from the front: "Your Majesty, someone has died here!"

"what?"

Situ Qing and Leng Zhenshan's expressions changed and they quickly walked to the front.

I saw a soldier lying on the ground, face down in a pit, looking like he had died a miserable death!

"He's still alive!"

Check the guards' report.

Leng Zhenshan immediately stepped forward, squatted down and helped the man up, and sure enough, he saw that his chest was heaving.

"Just stay alive!"

Leng Zhenshan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to tear off the cloth on his face, then looked at his wound that was covered with dirt, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Situ Qing asked: "Leng Qing, what did you see?"

Leng Zhenshan hesitated and said, "It seems that he was injured, and then... someone covered his wound with mud, covered his face with a piece of cloth, and buried him in the soil..."

Situ Qing: “…” Is this saving people or killing people?

As he was speaking, the injured soldier woke up.

Leng Zhenshan hurriedly asked him what happened, and the man said with a sad face: "I saw a burly man carrying a sack, so I wanted to ask him what he was doing, but he knocked me unconscious without saying a word!"

"In a daze, I felt like he was burying me alive!"

Leng Zhenshan pointed at the small pit and said, "It shouldn't be that serious. He probably just wants to bury your head alive."

Soldier:"……"

Situ Qing looked confused: "A big man carrying a sack? He doesn't look like Yan'er's man."

Lengzhenshan was also confused, and the group continued to climb the mountain.

Not far away, I saw another "dead person buried alive".

Leng Zhenshan's mouth twitched slightly, he went over to take a look, frowned and asked, "He's not dead, he just fainted. Who is this square-faced man? Does anyone know him?"

"Square face?"

One of them walked up to take a look out of curiosity and was immediately shocked: "Thin guy! Thin guy, how did you become fat!"

Leng Zhenshan was angry and confused: "Your Majesty, this murderer is very perverted!"

How can you beat someone up and then set a trap for him?

You don't mind digging a hole at a time, and you don't mind the trouble. What's the carrot in it?

"what……"

Situ Qing raised his hand and rubbed his temple. This familiar headache was as if he saw his filial son and daughter-in-law again.

"Well, Leng Qing, don't be so angry."

Situ Qing looked at the main account in front of him, sighed, and said very experiencedly: "I have a feeling that you will be even angrier in a while."

Leng Zhenshan: “?”

Because he had anticipated something, Situ Qing remained calm along the way.

Even when he saw Hao Ren with his acupuncture points pressed in front of the main tent, he remained relatively calm.

Leng Zhenshan was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "This, this, this..."

Situ Qing patted his shoulder and said, "Calm down, it's okay. Yun Ting and Qu Pei are here. They must have moved away."

As they spoke, the two of them walked into the cave together.

He looked at Qu Pei and Leng Yunting in surprise.

Qu Pei and Leng Yunting: “…” Your Majesty, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but we’re still here!

The smile on Situ Qing's face finally froze and cracked inch by inch.

Leng Zhenshan, who was standing next to them, strode forward and untied the acupoints of the two men.

Qu Pei said quickly: "Your Majesty, why did you come back just now? The tiger seal and the silk banner were stolen by the little imperial concubine and the fifth prince!"

Leng Zhenshan gritted his teeth in anger, turned his head and glared at Leng Yunting: "Did they steal them all?"

Leng Yunting nodded: "They were all stolen." Not even a single flag was left for them!

Qu Pei stepped forward and handed Situ Qing the note written by Situ Yan: "The little imperial concubine said that she will come back on the fifth day, and asked you... to prepare the money before she returns the tiger seal."

After a pause, he added: "His Highness also said that it doesn't matter if you have no money, you can sign a document, and he believes in your character!"

Situ Qing: “…”

blood pressure!

His blood pressure!
