Chapter 227】

On the same day, a ladle of cold water was poured over the execution hall.Please use to visit this site.

Pei Yongqing was awakened.

Chi Heng signaled, the executioner held the whip in his hand, and without a word, he slammed the whip vigorously, five whips in a row, Pei Yongqing's legs were torn apart, and the pain penetrated to the marrow, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was trembling from the throbbing .

"Where is Rong Yue?"

After the pain in his body passed, Pei Yongqing opened his eyes with difficulty, bleeding from the corner of his mouth: "I don't know! I also want to capture him alive!"

Chi Heng was furious: "Thirty whips!"

The executioner cracked his whip and gave him a severe beating. Pei Yongqing spat out blood while cursing, and every sentence of the dirty words was unsightly, clearly being stubborn.

Chi Heng raised his hand and said coldly, "Soldering iron!"

The fire was raging, and the iron in the fire was already red and red. The executioner raised the iron and pressed it on Pei Yongqing's thigh without any hesitation.The moment the iron and the flesh were ironed, a scream resounded through the gloomy torture hall. The scream was mixed with the sound of the iron burning the skin, and white smoke blew freely on the thigh, and Pei Yongqing passed out again.

Three scoops of cold water go down.

Pei Yong woke up, his voice was hoarse, he couldn't swear, he looked at Chi Heng fixedly: "You think I don't want to find him?"

Pei Yongqing was equally remorseful.

He knew he had missed the best opportunity.When Rong Yue was seriously injured, it was impossible to escape—yes, no matter how brave a person is, he could not survive the group attack. Rong Yue's arms, legs, and back were all injured by arrows, and he had no way out. You can escape—but even if Rong Yue escaped, he searched all over the battlefield and couldn't find him.

Yu Dingze led troops to help, but Pei Yongqing withdrew in desperation, until now he still hates losing this opportunity.

But Yu Dingze couldn't find him either.

Chi Heng didn't believe Pei Yongqing's confession.In a fit of rage, he tortured all the generals of Zheng Yi's army, beat them indiscriminately, and in an instant, ghosts and wolves were howling inside and outside the execution hall.

Tracing the source.

Chi Heng found the last person who saw Rong Yue—Kong Li.Zheng Yijun's vanguard, Kong Li, severely injured Rong Yue's back with an arrow, and chased him for several miles, almost capturing Rong Yue.

Kong Li told the truth that no one else saw: "Yes, I was the last person. Just when I was about to catch him, suddenly there was a thick fog, and he disappeared——I didn't talk to anyone. Said, because it was a dream, no one saw it, I said it just to prove my incompetence, to prove that I covered him."

Chi Heng's eyes widened.

Halfway through the war, the fog had almost dissipated, and in the end it was all clear and bright. How could there be any sudden heavy fog?And there was no mention of generals, and then it fogged up again.

Kong Li hung his hands on the iron chain, showing a bleak smile: "I almost caught him!"

Thinking that he was talking nonsense, Chi Heng became even angrier, grabbed the whip and lashed Kong Li three times, one on the waist.Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, Kong Li screamed, and shouted hysterically: "I'm not lying! It's that damned fog! It's true that the fog cleared up long ago, but when I was chasing after it, ghost fog suddenly appeared. !"

Chi Heng was panting heavily, his eyes were about to burst!

With his last breath, Kong Li said, "Why should I lie to you! He was seriously injured and was running with his horse, but just when I was about to catch him, suddenly there was a thick fog, and he The horse ran into the fog. The fog was too strange, so I reined in the horse. After rushing in, I couldn't see my fingers. I ran around in it, and the fog quickly dispersed, and they disappeared. "

"They? Are you not alone?"

"There are two ordinary soldiers in front who are closer to him, but after the mist, they disappeared, leaving only the horse and Rong Yue's green dragon halberd." The green dragon halberd, and the blood on the green dragon halberd.

Chi Heng forced himself to calm down without saying a word.

Kong Li said: "It's the miasma of Xinghe Dao. Miasma can kill people. I was afraid all of a sudden. If I didn't hesitate at that time, I would have caught him."

Xinghe Road is a deep valley, and there will inevitably be some poisonous gas in the valley, and it is not uncommon to die when touched, but it is simply absurd to say that it can swallow people without a trace.

After a long time, Chi Heng asked, "What does the fog smell like?"

Kong Li hesitated for a moment, he had to concentrate to recall the details at that time.

But Chi Heng was surprisingly no longer aggressive, he was sitting in a rusty iron chair in a dark corner, his voice was very low, there was no smile on his stern face, his tone was full of suppressed sadness and hatred, his eyes Unfathomable color depth.The moment they looked at each other, Kong Li thought, he must remember, otherwise he would be torn into pieces in the next moment.

Because there was no kindness in those eyes.

Kong Li took a deep breath: "The first time I smelled it, it was like very cold water, with a slight rotten smell. But it only lasted for a moment, and then it smelled like wet mist - I stopped because That rotten smell. I also want to know whether he was eaten by a ghost or died, no one is alive, no corpse is dead!"

The last sentence is very unwilling and very decadent.

Everyone is afraid of death, Chi Heng guessed the truth in those words.

The mist brushed through Chi Heng's mind, and he recollected every sentence of Kong Li, slowly, as if the mist had dissipated.Chi Heng propped his chin with his hands and said slowly: "Who came up with the idea to let you set a trap on Xinghe Road?"

Feeling uneasy for a moment, Kong Li spat out three words: "Teacher Zheng."

Grand Master Zheng, Zheng Yi.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yi came to Yongli in person, this is impossible, all the secret reports did not mention Zheng Yi's coming to Anzhou.

"A few nights before the attack, when General Pei called us into the camp, I saw a figure leave in a hurry. It was Grand Master Zheng. I have stayed by his side for three years, and I will not admit my mistake."

Chi Heng just watched and listened coldly.

Kong Li, who gave up struggling, felt as if all his strength was taken away in an instant: "On the day Yongli City was breached, General Pei told us that once captured, as long as it is related to General Rong... So I'm telling the truth."

How could he be so obedient?

Pei Yongqing will let them confess automatically?Indeed, Pei Yongqing said it, but his original words were gritted teeth: "I hate that we didn't capture Rong Yue alive. If there is no, we can't make him a big living person. That man kills without blinking an eye. To be honest, If it doesn’t, it means it doesn’t exist anyway, it means it’s a dead end!”

Chi Heng has been sitting in the shadows.

The soldering iron was burning red, but he didn't say a word.

Yu Changying, who stayed by the side all the time, couldn't stand the gloomy atmosphere, so she got up quietly and bought a cup of hot tea for Chi Heng.

After Kong Li was dragged down, a black figure hurried over, wearing a hat and not showing his face.He is a secret agent of the Qianyuan army, and he also suffered some hardships among the prisoners: "General Chi, it is true that none of the soldiers in Zheng Yi's camp has seen General Rong since then."

So, Rong Yue really wasn't captured?

Chi Heng moved his eyes slowly, and stopped on the spy's raised black collar: "Where is Zheng Yi now?"

The visitor was startled, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned Zheng Yi: "I... just got the news that he might have stayed in Yongli for one night before the Xinghe Dao battle, and he disappeared after the battle."

Chi Heng gripped the rim of the cup tightly.

The mood burns like a soldering iron for a while, and it turns cold like putting a soldering iron into water for a while.

After a long time, finally, Chi Heng let go of the cup, and said slowly: "Zheng Yi will cross Yonghe from the north, pass through Anyang Fort, reach Xiangshifu, and finally cross Anzhou and reach Jingyuzhou—if he brings If you have Rong Yue, you must not have arrived at Anyang Fort yet; if you didn’t take it with you, he would already be in Jingyu Prefecture.”

The spy leader was too surprised to speak.

Chi Heng didn't explain, but ordered: "You divide the spies of the Qianyuan Army into three branches. One goes to Qinxi, the westernmost city in Jingyu Prefecture, to inquire about Zheng Yi's news; the other immediately goes to Anyang Fort to search News; the most capable assassins are arranged in Xiangshibu. Focus on the northern line, and mobilize the eyeliners in every place, but no matter what happens, everyone can't act rashly, and if you find out the news, send it to me immediately!"

After receiving the order, the spies retreated quickly.

After a long time, Chi Heng straightened his waist, and the dagger cut a long line on the case.

Yu Changying, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, exhaled lightly, and added hot tea: "General Chi, go back and have a rest, you haven't closed your eyes for three days."

But Chi Heng ordered: "Bring Pei Yongqing here, I want to make sure that Zheng Yi has been here."

Before Pei Yongqing was escorted up, Yu Changying asked: "General, Changying doesn't understand, why did you deploy like this? Why are you so sure that General Rong is on the northern line?"

After pondering for a moment, Chi Heng said: "The fog Kong Li said is not fog, but mist."

"Luan Ai? But Luan Ai is light red."

Luan mist is of course not dusk mist, but a man-made poisonous gas, which is sprayed out instantly like fireworks, and can form a vast mist, which is light red in color.

"Luan Ai is not known to everyone. Kong Li chased eastward, facing the sun, the Luan Ai spread out to reflect the red color of the sun, and the chasing place was very flat, and all he could see were Zheng Yi's soldiers, so he didn't I don’t think about that.”

Kong Li said that before him there were two soldiers chasing Rong Yue.

He will not doubt the soldiers chasing in front of him.

Yu Changying was puzzled again: "The mist dissipates quickly. If they hold General Rong hostage, they won't be able to escape so quickly even if they escape. Kong Li has been following them closely."

"Ordinary soldiers can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the tricksters in Danyang Que can't do it." It's easy for two tricksters to drag an exhausted wounded man, and after the battle of Xinghe Road, Yu Dingze immediately attacked Zheng Yijun to ask for it. People, so Kong Li never doubted his own people at all.

Yu Changying gasped, "Danyang Que?"

Chi Heng said slowly: "Rong Yue once mentioned that he was attacked by Danyang Que's tricksters. Zheng Yi sneaked to Yongli and planned a vicious plan. As his personal weapon, Danyang Que's people Infiltrating into the army is definitely indispensable. And taking advantage of Xinghe Road to get close to Rong Yue, it is logical. Otherwise, how can ordinary soldiers catch up with Rong Yue's fast horse?"

A flash of inspiration flashed, and Yu Changying suddenly realized everything.

People who inhale the mist cannot exercise vigorously, so if they want to survive, they must let Rong Yue stay in one place for three days.Otherwise, if Luan Ai penetrated into the internal organs, all the meridians would be severed and he would die. Then it would be meaningless for them to work hard to bring people back from the battlefield.
