feud

The breeze is coming, and on the brightly lit street, there are bursts of laughter and noise from the crowd. In a dark corner where the lights cannot shine, a mouse runs to the other side of the road with a piece of rotten meat in its mouth. It disappeared into another dark corner.

Lin Yi took a long breath, expelled the depression in his chest, and looked at the bustling crowd as if he had come back to life, but the light in his eyes dimmed.

In the overcrowded Baixiang Building, there was another death-like silence.

On the high platform, a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from Li Xiong's back, only Miss Shao was spinning and dancing indifferently, as light as a swallow.

"What did he just say?"

"I suspect something is wrong with my ears."

"He said that man is worth ten taels of gold? I come here every time his house sells. This is the first time I heard such a high price of slaves? What kind of treasure is this?"

"Where is the baby? Look! Look! Does that look like a living person? Ah? It's clearly a dying person!"

"What the hell! Are you kidding us? That white-faced boy is much better-looking than this dying guy. You say he's worth ten taels of gold? Are you kidding me!"

"I thought there would be a surprise for the last batch. I kept the money until now, and the fuck did it like this, I am!"

"Get out! Who wants to buy a dead man! What are you doing!"

There was already a lot of scolding in the audience, Li Xiong looked at the person Liu Jun brought out in a daze, and really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Jun's pot.

Liu Jun didn't add a wooden shackle to Wang Bing, he directly tied the iron chains around his hands, and dragged them from the underground room to the high platform like a dead dog, and ordered someone to bring a bucket of water pour it on.

Wang Bing was trembling all over, and he opened his eyes with all his strength, but what he could see was blurred.

Li Xiong: "Everyone, calm down, this..." He turned his head and looked at Chen Cheyun in the audience beggingly.

"Listen to me, rare things are valuable, please take a look!" Liu Jun held up Wang Bing's hair, showed his blood and scars to everyone, and said, "No matter how you play with him, he won't Death, if you have any unpleasant things, feel free to vent on him, you don't have to worry about him resisting at all, he will just obediently beg someone to beat him, it is the best tool for you to vent your anger."

"Everyone, please take a look." After speaking, someone presented Liu Jun with a whip with barbs.Liu Jun is a descendant of barbarians in the prairie, and he has not inherited his father's weakness at all. With a wave of his strong and powerful arm, there was a crisp "pa", and the whip landed on Wang Bing's back, rolling up his bloody flesh.After the beating, Liu Jun squatted down to see Wang Bing's reaction.

This Wuhuan medicine has been improved, and it can be taken orally or inhaled into the body when it is quenched on the weapon, and the effect is even stronger.This whip hit Wang Bing on the back, and after a while, Wang Bing had hallucinations. He felt in a daze that someone was touching his back gently and comfortingly. On the cold and uncomfortable "stone couch", there were people who touched him so tenderly.

He missed this feeling very much, he knew that it was Cen Li.

"Look! He really didn't bark!"

"My mother! It's the first time I saw this whip being beaten down and still not screaming. Is he a human or a ghost? Is he a pervert?"

"Not only that, he still hugged him, you see!"

Blood splashed on the high platform, and the people in the audience finally stopped being angry.Chen Cheyun gritted his teeth, looked at the young man holding Liu Jun, he felt a little familiar, but he had no memory, couldn't remember, so he stared at Liu Jun.

Wang Bing couldn't see the front, but this kind of touching made people involuntarily want to get closer and feel at ease.It's been a long… long time since someone touched him so tenderly, he thought, responding to this man.

"20 taels! I'll give you 20 taels of gold!"

A young voice overshadowed all discussions, and everyone followed the prestige.

"I offer 20 taels of gold...to buy him."

The person who spoke was Zhu Xinghe, the son of Zhu Yan, the richest man in Runan County. He was a well-known young man with a habit of breaking his sleeves.

20 taels of gold, everyone's mouths were gagged at once, and no one bid again.

Li Xiong was also stunned. This was an unprecedented high price. It took him a while to realize, and read: "20 taels of gold, deal!"

Liu Jun showed a sinister smile.

The auction came to an end, and all the sellers went to another room to exchange money. In the end, Miss Shao was still dancing her slender waist vigorously on the stage.

This matter spread quickly. After all, the slaves this time were too good. When there is light, it will set off a trend of discussion among the upper class that night.

Qi Xiangmei clenched her palms tightly and urged the driver: "Hurry up and go to the nearest Qiji Rice Shop!"

This time she went, she really went to the right place!Seeing Wang Xin hugging Liu Jun vigorously on the stage, she almost died of fright.

She had to tell Liu Huaxin the news as soon as possible. Liu Jun's appearance had completely exceeded her expectations.Liu Jun rebelled against Chongyan last year, and his reappearance is bound to set off another bloodbath!

The prince's cousin went to Han's mansion to find someone, but he appeared in Baixianglou. He couldn't find him, so he would definitely seek help from others, so he would definitely go there——Qiji Rice Shop.

At this moment, Cen Li was on his way to Qiji Mipu, the gambling house was raided, and now they secretly passed on news and collected intelligence, all in Mipu all over Runan County.

Cen Li walked into the rice shop, and soon someone greeted him, his face changed when he saw him, and he was politely led to the wing.

"God bless the country of Zhao, and pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shopkeeper Zhang prostrated himself on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"You don't need to salute, get up." Cen Li went up to help him, and said, "Old General Zhang, I have something to ask you."

This old shopkeeper was once the all-powerful General Xiaowei of the Zhao Kingdom. Compared with Chongyan, he was even worse, but he had no intention of fighting for power. After the establishment of the Zhao Kingdom, he withdrew from the court and lived in seclusion.

When he came to Runan County in February, it was Qi Xiangmei who brought him to meet the old general.

Zhang Bei's stooped body trembled a little. It was obviously weeping with joy. He stretched out his wrinkled hands to touch Cen Li's face, and smiled with tears all over his face. It's never been this high before."

It's your waist bent again, Cen Li thought to himself.Allowing Zhang Bei to act for a long time, Zhang Bei finally said: "Your Highness must have something important to do when he comes here, but it's okay to say, the old minister must be doing his best to share His Highness's worries."

Cen Li finally waited for his words, and said: "Send all our people out, I want to find someone."

"cousin!"

Just as Cen Li finished speaking, he suddenly heard a hurried female voice, it was Qi Xiangmei.

Qi Xiangmei was still dressed in men's clothes. When she first walked in, Cen Li almost couldn't recognize her, but her voice couldn't be faked. Qi Xiangmei said anxiously: "Cousin, old general Zhang. There is no need to send someone out to look for it. Know where he is!"

Cen Li was overjoyed, "Where is he?"

After Qi Xiangmei finished talking about what happened in Baixianglou tonight, Cen Li clenched his fists, and the flesh on his palms was bleeding.

The spacious and luxurious Zhu Mansion is second only to Yuhe Prince's Mansion in Runan County in scale, which shows Zhu Yan's status in Runan County.

The news spread that Zhu Xinghe bought a top-quality slave for 20 taels of gold. When he swaggered home, he dragged the top-quality slave back to his room with iron chains, and closed the door heavily.

Snapped!

The golden silk jade couch, the room is brightly lit, bright into the daylight, full of luxury.

Zhu Xinghe raised his eyebrows, and threw the filthy man who had been dragged all the way down for someone to clean up. He only put a coat on him and threw him on the jade couch, knowing that he would not resist, but Zhu Xinghe had a habit , not only did not remove even the chains, but also bound his feet.

"Really...won't resist?" Zhu Xinghe took off his coat and asked himself curiously.

The effect of Wu Huan's medicine had expired, and Wang Bing felt like being cut by a knife. His head was still dizzy, and his eyes hadn't recovered from being tied up for too long, so he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in his arm, which he couldn't see, and the pain became clearer because of this, and it became more and more painful, which he couldn't describe.

Holding a dagger, Zhu Xinghe was drawing the word "He" on his arm, holding back a smile, and said: "It's so beautiful, the way you bleed, it's so beautiful, I fell in love with you at a glance, look, It was wonderful!"

"I will never forget the way you bleed on the stage. You see, you are covered in wounds all over your body. How about we play a game? Open up all your old wounds and see what the new flesh grows inside." Like? Do you think it’s okay? Is it okay?”

He was only deaf in one ear, not deaf. Wang Bing thought it was the cold dark room, but the sound changed, as if he was not lying on the cold floor.

But the nightmare is still not over.

Who is this person?

Wang Bing's head was still turning slowly, but his body had already been turned upside down, the clothes on his body were also taken off, and a piece of cloth was roughly stuffed into his mouth.

"Let's go, then, the night is long, let's play slow-slow."

Han Kuang rushed to the garrison outside the city, quickly gathered his troops, and marched into Xuanhu City.

But he didn't expect the news to come so fast. Before all the army had entered the city, someone had already reported that there was a slave in Baixianglou tonight who also had long scars on his face, and his height was also similar to what Captain Han said.

Han Kuang thought he heard it wrong, and after confirming that it was the slave and Baixianglou, he rushed to Zhu's mansion from the gate of the city.

This back and forth has been delayed for too long.

Cen Li didn't go in through the gate of Zhu's mansion. He climbed over the wall and grabbed a servant to ask where Zhu Xinghe's room was, and then knocked the servant unconscious and hid him. s room.

He gently opened the door, and he smelled blood.

Cen Li walked very carefully, or maybe he was afraid, he didn't walk fast, and he had to use a lot of strength to take every step.

When he saw the scene on the couch, he felt nothing.

As if dead.

Because he didn't know if that person was still alive.

On a new day, the sun seemed to rise very early in May, and soon woke up the soldiers outside the city.

"What happened last night? Why did the captain tell us to run away? I thought it was the Huns making trouble again. I couldn't sleep well."

The soldier yawned. It was too bright and he couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up and ran to the river to wash his face. After washing, he said, "The captain has his own plans. Why don't you complain? Soldiers still want to be comfortable?"

Another soldier said: "I'm not complaining, I just saw our captain's face last night, and now I think about it, I'm still afraid. I followed him from Jiankang to Runan County, and I've never seen his face. It's more terrifying than cannibalism." .”

"I hope nothing serious happened. Captain Han led us to fight. He is kind to the soldiers and knows a lot. He is a good captain. I hope nothing serious will happen."

"I think something serious has happened. Captain Han saw a portrait last night, and he was immediately stunned."

The gates of the city opened on time, and people with their burdens and horse-drawn carriages came in and out. Everyone took advantage of the morning sun, and hurriedly shouted and started a new day in a hurry.

The Qi Mansion is also filled with golden sunshine, except for a remote wing room that looks dark.

Cen Li hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the person on the couch for a moment, his face was as white as a dead person, only the thin quilt that undulated slightly on his chest was the only proof that he was still alive.

Seeing that he was about to be bullied last night when he was pressed on the bed full of blood, Cen Li felt that he was already dead.

He had never seen a person who could bleed so much, never seen a person who didn't even have a whole piece of skin.

Even holding Wang Bing, he felt as if he was torturing each other. Wang Bing was in pain physically, but his heart was so painful that he was almost suffocating.

Some people said that Wang's illness was beyond recovery, but he didn't believe it, and he would beat anyone who said so!It wasn't until he invited the doctor who prescribed medicine for his fever last time that Wang Bing was finally brought back from hell.

If Wang Bing wants to live, he will wake up, if not, he will die at any time.

Cen Li felt that if a person was tortured like this, he probably didn't want to live anymore.

But he neither woke up nor died.

Lin Yi also didn't close his eyes all night, because Han Kuang's sudden visit made him sleepless all night.

"Master Hou, the person you are looking for appeared in the mansion of the lower official an hour ago."

Han Kuang only left a word, and hurried away. Seeing that he was walking in such a hurry that he couldn't even pull back the bull, Ji Dong didn't chase him.

This can't be blamed on Han Kuang. When Lin Yi handed over the portrait to him, he didn't even look at it. It was because he accidentally saw the portrait on the notice last night that he realized that he had let go of the person Yuan Pinghou had been looking for. , but only slightly sorry.This short episode was not as important as looking for Wang Bing. He felt that it was already a great gift for him to go to the inn to tell Jiong Yi about it.

He just didn't expect Yuan Pinghou's close friend to have something to do with Wang Bing.

Later, Lin Yi told Zhang Min about this and asked him to send more people to help him find it. Unfortunately, the time when Han Kuang told him and the time when Cen Li left the Han Mansion was too long. A radius of tens of miles, the result is still nothing.

After Han Kuang found out that the slave was bought by Zhu Xinghe last night, he rushed to Zhu's mansion again. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xinghe had died in the room, and his death was extremely tragic, and his body was dismembered.

Han Kuang and Zhu's family servant confirmed the slave's appearance several times, and he was sure that he was Wang Bing.

He disappeared again.

For breakfast, Cen Li fed Wang Bing some porridge, medicine and candied fruit, and then sat down on the ground beside Wang Bing's bed with a bowl to eat.

When Cen Li handed him the porridge for dinner, Wang Bing finally responded.

The porridge was not fed, and Wang Bing vomited black blood.

Cen Li immediately invited the old doctor, but the old doctor couldn't see anything wrong, he just said a few words "weird, weird", and walked away helplessly.

He couldn't eat more porridge, and Cen Li didn't eat, so he just sat and looked at Wang Bing's face, for fear of missing him opening his eyes.

Until midnight, Wang Bing finally opened his eyes. Cen Lilian called him several times before Wang Bing turned his head to look at the person beside the couch in a daze.

His eyes were empty, his memory was still stuck in the endless pain of last night, the people in front of him were familiar yet unfamiliar, he thought that he had fallen into the hands of someone who wanted to torture him again, and shrank back into the couch tremblingly.

He is still in pain, all over his body, don't torture him anymore, he can't take it anymore.Wang Bing begged for mercy intermittently: "Please...please, let me go...don't do it, don't do it."

Cen Li thought that he would wake up and say "you're here" with a smile like he did in prison before.

How could it be like this!He was actually... scared!

What did he go through?Not long ago, he watched him busy cleaning the room, and laughed from the bottom of his heart when he watched him eat a candied fruit. He even pulled his sleeves and watched him leave Qi Mansion.

But all the good things brought by the past were unbearable. He was afraid of dodging his own blow, and was completely shattered.

Wang Bing curled himself up into a ball, buried his head in his knees and sobbed uncontrollably. He just wanted to wrap himself up in iron and not let anyone touch him again.

Suddenly, a pair of strong arms wrapped around him, someone was stroking his head, and whispered in his uninjured ear: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm Cen Li, it's okay, it's okay..."

The familiar voice repeated "it's all right" over and over again, patient and gentle to the extreme.

It was this voice, there was nothing wrong this time, it was this voice, it was he who came.

Wang Bing still huddled into a ball and cried, but he didn't move back. After a while, he put all the weight of his body over, leaned over desperately, and rubbed into this embrace.
