In Hezhou, the cold spring rain was mixed with the sweet scent of peach blossoms and a hint of salt water. Dark clouds hung over the skyless prison, and sheepskin whips "snapped" at the criminals who looked like dead trees.

Blood dripped onto the wet ground and slowly flowed to the feet of the young man in red. Xie Chibei lowered his eyes and looked at Chang Dubing, who refused to confess even at his death.

Chang Dubing had his limbs chopped off and his senses injured, so he wanted to commit suicide and rammed his head against the wall several times.

Mu Jingyi had the walls covered with soft grass and sent people to guard Chang Dubing day and night.

Chang Dubing hummed for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word. He began to go crazy, with a twitching and twisted smile on his face.

The rumbling sound of the iron chains echoed in the gloomy prison, tearing and torturing the withered soul wandering in Youzhou, and strangling her last breath of trying to survive.

The girl was trapped in an unredeemable nightmare, with beads of sweat soaking her hair. Mu Jinan waved her hands to push away the beasts with bared fangs, and she ran desperately towards the path of life.

With a "bang", the iron chains tightly pulled her feet as she was trying to escape. Mu Jinan's legs fell heavily to the ground, and her bones seemed to break with a snap. Her body was pulled to the brink of death as she crawled towards a way to survive.

"Ah, no."

The beast had been hungry for a long time, and smelling her scent, it just wanted to tear apart the delicious meat, so it bit her ankle and dragged her body and trampled on it.

Mu Jinan's back was trampled, and blood flowed from her innate nobility and the dignity that people should have, all the way to the deepest part of her memory, destroying her extravagant hope of asking for help. She wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but her mouth was blocked.

"Kill me, I'm scared, mother, mother!"

When the beast heard the cry of the weak girl, it would only become more excited, because it was the breath of fear of the enemy, proving that it could control her and tear her flesh at any time and break her bones when she tried to escape.

"Kill you? I just want to tame you!" The beast's voice was rough and vicious, and it laughed contemptuously as if it regarded her life as that of an ant.

The overwhelming beating drove her completely crazy. Mu Jinan didn't understand why these people kept staring at her. It seemed like her birth was a crime, but no one told her what crime she had committed?

She even hated herself for killing the slave owner's son. If she had known that she would live in humiliation in the abyss prison like a hound, she would have killed herself on a snowy night so that she would suffer endless torture in the future.

She was in so much pain!

Mu Jinan was thousands of miles away, across the impassable prison mountain, calling for help again and again, but no one responded! He begged for death again and again, and suffered pain countless times while alive!

She was sick and always wore thin clothes. She lived in a cold prison. She dared not close her eyes day or night. She stared at the hell that could strangle her life in the dark. She looked forward to death every moment.

But others would not let her die easily, nor would they let her die in agony.

She was dying and became his joy!

When Mu Jinan saw his tall, dark shadow looming over her head, she fearfully grabbed the iron cage with one hand and tried to climb up, but her feet had already fallen into the beast's unfathomable conspiracy.

"let me out!"

Her scarlet eyes were swallowed by the darkness. She could not see the road, any of her relatives, or where the beast that was killing her was. She only felt that the beasts were rushing towards her from all directions, scaring the young girl to death.

The only sounds in the prison were the roar of wild animals and her desperate cries with no one to save her: "Help, don't bite me, save me, mother, cousin."

Her tears became his amusement to laugh at and mock.

"Once you are tamed, I will let you out naturally."

Mu Jinan slapped the hand that was pulling her hair and yelled like a madman: "Someone will kill you for me!"

"I want to see who can kill me for you?" The man picked up the thin Mu Jinan and threw her into the cage.

Her back hit the iron bars and her eyes were filled with tears of pain.

"Save me!" Mu Jinan suddenly opened her eyes, and cold sweat soaked her white inner clothes.

She was the only one in the dark bed curtains. She reached out and touched the empty half of the bed. Xie Chibei was not by her side. She dared not speak nonsense even in her dreams. This vigilance and fear had been engraved in her tamed brain, and even her dreams could be controlled.

Mu Jinan looked at the glorious moon shining on the world. She stood in the dark room, unable to see and kill the man.

The moon also shone on the Heyuan Prison in the west, where her beloved man far away was interrogating the criminal hysterically and violently for her.

Mu Jingyi looked at Xie Chibei, who was covered in blood. He interrogated him from morning to night without stopping. His eyes were filled with a mad desire to seek justice for Mu Jinan.

Xie Chibei felt Mu Jinan's dream deeply. She wanted someone to save her, but was afraid of implicating him. The closer he got to the truth, the more afraid he was that something might happen to Mu Jinan.

He had been living in fear since the day he left Youzhou. Mu Jinan was too scheming and she always plotted against his own life. If he could not avenge Mu Jinan, she would definitely give up that unhappy life.

Xie Chibei raised his hand to wipe away the blood that splashed on his face. His scarlet eyes were filled with tears that he dared not shed. He was afraid to confirm those guesses.

Xie Chibei held the knife in both hands and wrote the interrogation questions on every inch of Chang Dubing's skin:

"It was you who sold Mu Jinan? Twice? Where was she sold the last time? It was you who imprisoned her for five years, chained her up, and threatened her with tiger hounds? You tortured her with despicable means and trained her to be a killer?"

"If you don't tell me, I will cut your bones one by one!"

Chang Dubing's upper body had already rotted away. This was the heaviest punishment he had ever received in his life. He didn't know who carried out the execution, but it must have been the person who loved Mu Jinan the most.

Each knife pierced his skin with all its might. Chang Dubing was twitching in pain, and was forced to hold the life-saving ginseng in his mouth. He laughed crazily while crying in pain:

"Haha, if you have the guts, just kill me. You don't know what Mu Jinan has been through."

"She won't live much longer!"

"I don't want this life either!"

"You can't hear my voice! How does it feel to be a dog controlled by others? You have come to this day too? Even the high and mighty princes and generals beg me to tell them secrets sometimes, hahahaha."

That smile was a provocation that was threatening Xie Chibei's weak spot. Xie Chibei felt that someone was threatening him with Mu Jinan's life.

You can provoke him, but no one dares to touch Mu Jinan's life!

That person is more precious than his own life. Mu Jinan is responsible for giving countless women the opportunity to take the imperial examinations and become officials. She is also the people's hope for light taxes and levies. She is also the dawn that Xie Chibei will never let go of even if he dies.

The Northern Mountains, the Yangtze and the Huai River are covered with thousands of snows, while the sun rises from the east. The source is deep and deep, and I seek the end. I guide the world and the people as if I were my own.

She saved the people but could not save her own suffering. He must save Mu Jinan, which is the endless source of his greed!

Xie Chibei wanted to go to Beiyue Jianghuai with her, but she always lied to him and always abandoned him in her schemes. He was too afraid that the last game would be a failure!
