One hundred and thirty-one sees who is more ruthless than two birds
The woman was held by two men in black clothes with a sword at her neck, not daring to move. She looked at Bai Xincheng as he reached out his hand, and for an instant, there was a flash of panic in her eyes. But when a wave of pain came across her face, she suddenly raised the corner of her mouth.
She wiped her finger on the stranger's face, feeling nothing out of the ordinary at first, but then she felt something was off. Since she had already reached out, it would be unnatural to withdraw her hand, so she used her other hand to grasp the woman's chin and began to rub behind her ear with her fingertips, but no matter how hard she tried, there was still nothing unusual.
"... " Such a result was obviously not what Bai Xinzhen had expected. Seeing the smug smile on the woman's lips, she couldn't help but furrow her brow. What's going on? Is it really genuine leather?
No! No matter what she says, she doesn't believe this woman is not Bai Xinbi!
Besides, even if she wasn't Bai Xinbi, she wouldn't let her off! The grudge of Xueying's injury hasn't been avenged yet!
"Xian'er." Just as Bai Xue was dyeing her hair in the misty water but couldn't find any breakthrough, a man's low call suddenly came from behind her.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xin turned her head back with a puzzled look at him.
"First take her back, I have a way to make her reveal her true appearance." He said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the woman's face with a deep gaze.
Upon hearing this, the woman's triumphant smile faltered, and her eyes flashed with a hint of panic once more. Thinking about this man's relationship with Sheng Yi, her heart was racing like a drumbeat at that moment.
"Get the men to surround this place and make sure to dig up everything that's hidden underground! Not a single ant is to be spared!" He gave the order in a low voice, no longer looking at the woman's guilty face.
At the sound of his command, the woman's expression changed greatly, and even her pupils protruded: "No - this is my home, you are not allowed to make trouble here - uh -"
Before she could even speak, Bai Xincheng raised his hand and struck her neck with a knife-hand, knocking her out.
How annoying!
……
Following the imperial court
In the secret chamber of the main hall, tonight was exceptionally lively. This secret chamber was originally used to interrogate those who were disloyal to their masters, but tonight it welcomed a special 'guest'.
In the secret room, there was no shortage of various torture instruments. Bai Xinzhen was also here for the first time, looking at the rare torture instruments one by one, and he couldn't help but feel amazed.
It was the first time she knew that her own husband had done such a dark thing.
But she seems to like it anyway?
She picked up a long iron hook and asked Yin Du who was following behind her: "What is this thing, what is it used for?"
Yin Du Chao Yan Mo looked at me with a glance, then shrunk his neck and coughed lightly before saying: "Princess, these are just for slaughtering pigs, you don't need to know about them. Those are bloody scenes, not suitable for women to think about or look at."
I guess he said so, and Wang Ye shouldn't bother him anymore?
Bai Xin shot him a withering look: "Do you think I'm some Blood Shadow of yours that you can easily coax?"
Are they still using it to kill pigs? There isn't a single pig-killing knife in this pile of torture instruments. Are they killing pigs with their bare hands?
What's the big deal about using torture to extract a confession, anyway? She won't have any opinion on it. Besides, she dares to play with dead people, so what's a little bloody scene to her?
No need to say anything, anyway she doesn't come here often, no need to understand so thoroughly.
Yin Du was so angry that he almost spat blood. What's the meaning of his family's Blood Shadow being 'easy to coax'? It seems like his Blood Shadow is very stupid.
Fortunately, Bai Xinze didn't ask any further questions and instead went to play with other torture instruments. He could only click his tongue and continue following behind.
He stood at a distance, watching her play, perhaps because he was afraid of being questioned by Bai Xin, he didn't speak or make a sound, but his deep eyes followed the woman's movements.
Bai Xin waited until she had roughly glanced at all the torture instruments in the secret room before walking to the center of the room, looking seriously at her own man.
"Mo Yu, what method do you have to make her appear?" If he hadn't said he had a way, she would have suspected that the woman wasn't Bai Xinbi. Damn it, this disguise is too high-level!
Mo Yan hooked up the corner of his mouth and turned his head to order Yin Du: "Go bring him in."
"Yes." Yin Du hastily left the secret room.
This place isn't somewhere that just anyone can come to, you've got to have some skills to get here. That woman really did walk into a pile of good luck, and now she's got the chance to come here and be tried...
Not long after, Yin Du returned again, with two men in black clothes following behind him. One of them held onto the woman's arm and dragged her inside.
There was a root of a huge copper pillar against the wall in the secret room, and before Bai Xin went to compare it, she hugged the copper pillar with her arms around it, but still couldn't hold it.
Two men in black first tied the woman to a bronze pillar with five big knots, and even her neck was wrapped around with hemp rope. As long as she struggled, her neck would definitely rub off the skin.
One of them picked up a bucket of icy water from the ground and poured it over the woman's head with a splash.
"Ah-choo!" A sudden chill came, the woman shivered and moved slightly, then couldn't help but let out a sneeze, and gradually opened her eyes.
Looking at the familiar face standing in front of her, the woman suddenly became sharp: "What are you going to do? Let me go quickly!"
"Ran Er, the mask on her face is made of the finest silk gauze, a specialty of Sheng Yi. I'm not sure how it's processed, but I do know that it dissolves in salt water. Don't believe me? You can try it yourself." Ignoring the woman's shouting, Yan Mo Yu lightly curled his thin lips, and his deep, three-dimensional features appeared exceptionally gentle when facing his own wife.
Bai Xin's gaze followed his line of sight to a basin of water on the ground, and she walked over, dipping her finger in it and licking it with the tip of her tongue. It was indeed salty water.
She raised her head and gave Bai Xin a cold smile.
"Bai Xinbi, you may not admit it yourself, but today let sister come and give you a good scolding, let sister tell you who you really are."
The woman's complexion had completely changed when she was explaining at the exit, and it was quite colorful with a mixture of pale and blue.
As soon as she heard Bai Xincheng's words, a shocking hatred suddenly surged up from the bottom of her eyes. Seeing that she could no longer pretend, she raised her chin and gritted her teeth, saying: "Bai Xincheng, don't be smug, I will kill you with my own hands one day! Grandmother was right, you are a cursed beast, a disaster star, the calamity of our White family!"
Finally seeing her acknowledge her true identity, Bai Xinzhi left the copper basin and walked towards her with his feet raised. He stood face to face with her, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at her, saying in a cold voice:
"Bai Xinbi, I don't mind you scolding me, but I'll have someone sew your mouth shut just like your recently deceased grandmother. However, I'm not willing to do that yet. I want to know where you've locked up the Holy Doctor. As long as you're willing to hand over the Holy Doctor, I can still agree to let you die a quick death and leave your body intact."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinbi suddenly burst out laughing 'haha'. The laughter had a few parts of madness and a few parts of complacency.
"Bai Xinran, are you daydreaming?"
Bai Xin's face sank, and she suddenly raised her hand, slapping a palm across the other woman's cheek, cutting off her insolent smile.
"Bai Xinbi, don't think you're the only one with a ruthless heart and cruel hands. I, Bai Xinzhi, can be just as merciless! Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame me for being cold-blooded today!" She paused, then ordered Yin Du behind her, "Go, bring that pair of grandmother and grandson here! Today, if she refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the Holy Doctor, I, the princess, will cut their flesh piece by piece in front of her face. Let's see who is more ruthless!"
The venom in her eyes made Bai Xingbi take a sudden fright, staring wide-eyed and suddenly shouting wildly: "Bai Xingran, you are despicable! Let my daughter go quickly, otherwise I will not let you off even if I become a ghost!"
Watching Yin Du Zhen leave, she became even more anxious and her eyes were filled with blood: "Bai Xinchuan, you heartless and ruthless monster, you are a demon, you are a demon who eats people without spitting out bones! Let my daughter go quickly, let her go——"
With narrowed eyes, Bai Xing took a deep breath and then opened them again, but the cold glint at the bottom of his eyes remained unchanged. "Bai Xinbi, don't be in such a hurry to call out for help just yet, there will be time for that later. Since you've already said I'm a monster, if I didn't act like one today and eat human flesh, wouldn't that be letting you down? Don't worry, soon I'll take action myself and cut off your daughter's flesh for you to taste. I'd like to see which is more important, the life of a mere saint or your daughter's life."
"Bai Xincheng, you will not die a good death! You also have sons and daughters, are you not afraid of retribution for doing such things?" Bai Xinbi suddenly roared with a torn heart, her face perhaps due to the fake skin did not show any redness, but her neck was swollen bright red.
Because of excessive force, the rope wrapped around his neck was tightened to the point where it dug into the flesh, instantly leaving a deep gash.
Bai Xin's fist suddenly struck her abdomen with a loud thud.
"Ah——" A mouthful of saliva sprayed out from Bai Xinbi's mouth.
"Bai Xinbi, you're not qualified to talk about revenge with me!" This woman is really born to be beaten! "If you know what's good for you, tell me where the Holy Doctor is. Otherwise, today I won't just cut off your daughter's flesh, I'll also throw you into a pot of oil and fry you, see if you still dare to be stubborn?!"
Perhaps having been beaten painfully, Bai Xinbi's scolding voice had all turned into painful groans. With her hands and feet bound to the copper pillar, she couldn't cover her aching belly, and her entire body began to tremble.
A moment later, Yin Du returned, holding a baby carrier in his arms, with two men in black clothes carrying the unconscious Chu Ling behind him. Although she couldn't see the child clearly in the baby carrier, the familiar baby carrier made Bai Xinbi, who was already in pain and groaning, go crazy again.
"Don't... spare my daughter... spare my daughter... Bai Xinzhi, you're so ruthless, you'll come to a bad end... uh..."
Another sharp pain in her stomach made her shut up again.
"Are you going to confess or not?!" White Heart Stain glared coldly at the woman who still refused to yield, almost unable to resist twisting her neck.
Without waiting for Bai Xin's response, Yan Mo stood behind Bai Xin and suddenly spoke in a cold tone: "Xie Er, why bother talking to her? Come here!"
Bai Xin gritted her teeth, but still turned around and walked towards him.
He pulled her to his front, Yan Mo Yu raised his hand and touched her cold face in anger, suddenly shouting in a cold voice towards the back: "Come on, take action, cut off this ancestor-grandson pair for Ben Wang!"
His harsh words cut through the air, making Bai Xinbi suddenly come to her senses. She saw the two men in black pull out their daggers from their waists. Her eyes widened and she let out a loud cry: "No---don't kill my daughter---I'll say---I'll say---"
Bai Xin was facing away from her, but when he heard her words, he suddenly let out a breath.
Yan Mo raised his hand, signaling the black-clad man behind him to temporarily stop. His deep eyes scanned the opposite side, cold and menacing: "Tell me, where is Sheng Yi now?"
Seeing the other party stop, Bai Xinbi didn't stop panting heavily, sweating from her forehead to her face and neck, and her chest was inexplicably heaving. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said: "The house with a pagoda tree in Li Jia Xiang."
Upon hearing this, Yan Mo pulled up Bai Xinzhi's hand and turned to face Yin Du behind him, giving a low command: "Dispatch more men to keep a close eye on this person, not a single word can be leaked out. Send someone to quickly rescue Sheng Yi. As for these two ancestors, lock them up in another place."
"Yes, sir, I'll go and take care of it right away."
Out of the secret room, Bai Xincheng and Yan Moyu chose a fast horse with dozens of dark guards rushing to Li's alley.
On the road, the whistling wind blew against her face, and Bai Xinzhi felt that she had never felt so stimulated on any day like today. Fortunately, Bai Xinbi's temper had softened, otherwise if she really wanted to take action against an innocent baby, she wouldn't dare.
Just as Bai Xinbi said, she is also a mother with sons and daughters. She doesn't want retribution to befall her own family. Adults may have done wrong, but children are innocent after all.
Suddenly, something covered her face, and her line of sight was also blocked. Baixinzhuang came back to herself and looked back.
"Rest in my arms, don't catch a chill." Yan Mo pressed her head against his chest, his wide sleeves enveloping her, while the other hand grasped the reins tightly, letting the horse gallop steadily on the street.
Bai Xin clung to his side, embracing his waist tightly, and remained still in his arms.
The horse soon stopped in a quiet alley.
Following the method of capturing Chu Ling and his grandson, a group of dark guards used iron hammers to pound down on a certain empty space, and the place that was pounded did not become a pit, but instead revealed a hole.
Along the cave entrance, several people quickly jumped down.
Bai Xinzhi and Yan Mo didn't stop either, they jumped down as well——
This hidden chamber is far more crude than the one where Chuling and her grandson live, and it's unknown how they managed to dig out so many secret rooms. White Heart Stain and Yan Moyu both think that there must be someone behind White Heart Jade and Fude Wang, otherwise, with just two people, no matter what, they wouldn't have been able to accomplish all this.
At this moment, the sky had already turned a pale white, and the broken secret chamber was no longer pitch black. Although the light was still dim, for these well-trained dark guards, it wasn't difficult to find something.
Against the stone wall, a figure in white sat quietly, watching the couple appear before him. A faint, gentle smile rose on his handsome and enchanting face as he spoke warmly:
"Are you here?"
"Hmm." Yan Mo released Bai Xincheng's hand and walked over, looking at the man sitting by the stone wall. Although he was disheveled, his expression remained as calm and composed as ever.
"What's going on?" He furrowed his brow and asked in puzzlement.
Bai Xin followed closely behind, carefully sizing up Feng Yixiao from head to toe, equally perplexed.
This guy doesn't look like a person who has been imprisoned at all, with an expression as if he is enjoying tea in his leisure time. Isn't this too weird?
Don't tell her that with the strength of a holy doctor, he can't escape from this ghost cave. That white robe is as clean as snow, without any dust or dirt, and his hands and feet are not bound in any way. There's just an empty bowl at his feet, clearly someone has been bringing him food.
Damn it! They've wasted so many brain cells trying to find him, and this guy is actually here, making them rack their brains to look for him. Isn't this just too ridiculous?!
Suddenly, the black-clad man behind me raised his hand: "You are guarding outside."
"Yes." Several black-clad figures leapt out of the cave entrance.
Bai Xinzhi knew that these two must have something to say, so he didn't interrupt them either. With nothing better to do, he went to take a look around the secret room.
The more she looked at her, the more she admired those who dug holes in the ground. Just look at every place here, and she couldn't imagine how they were dug out. A hole in the ground was as big as a normal house, with walls that were smooth and flat, and the floor was the same. It was clearly just a hole dug underground, but there wasn't a single bump or uneven spot to be found. Although the furnishings inside the house were simple, everything from teapots and tea cups to wooden beds and bedding was present, as if nothing was lacking except for tables and chairs.
Those who know call this place a secret room, those who don't know are probably afraid that it's someone else's house.
On the other side, two men sat cross-legged facing each other.
Two people with equally outstanding talents, one is cold and aloof, while the other is elegant and refined.
"What's going on?" Yan Mo asked again, he didn't believe he would be controlled by someone for no reason.
Feng Yì's mouth corners twitched upwards, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of bitterness. "My sister was caught by them."
Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's eyes snapped open, and a hint of surprise flashed across his icy gaze. "...He still has a sister?"
Feng also didn't hide it, his narrow eyes shifted to a place in the void, and he said slowly: "I only found out after I returned to my country that seven years ago, the queen gave birth to another girl..."
Bai Xin stopped her movements of examining the secret room when she heard him say "sister", and silently walked to Yan Mo Yu's side, curiously listening to Feng Yi Feng tell what happened to him.
After Feng Yifeng returned to his country, he only knew that he had a seven-year-old younger sister named Qingfeng. His mother passed away on the third day after he returned home, and when those brothers who were fighting for fame and fortune learned of his return, they began to plot against him again. For Feng Yifeng, apart from his mother, there was only Qingfeng left in this world as his closest relative. He did not want to let himself or the only sister left by his mother suffer any mishap for the sake of wealth and glory. Although he had long buried his hatred in his heart, for Qingfeng's sake, he decided to take her away first.
The siblings returned to Shu Xia, but when they entered the city, they encountered Bai Xinbi and were recognized by her. This time, he had been back in the country for several months and was not aware of what had happened to Bai Xinbi and Feng De Wang, so he did not take extra precautions, which led to Qingfeng falling into Bai Xinbi's hands.
Bai Xingbi used Qingfeng as a threat, forcing him to hand over the Western Cloud Kingdom's imperial secret poison 'Red Tassel'. When he found out that Bai Xingbi was going to deal with his own brother-like figure, Feng Yifeng also refused at first. However, Bai Xingbi ruthlessly had someone stab Qingkong's zither bone, torturing a seven-year-old girl into severe injury, forcing Feng Yifeng to compromise...
