Chapter 406: Ins and Outs (Part 2)
Xue Linjing, who fell to the ground and was held on his neck with a knife, but was unable to struggle, regretted it.
He regretted why he was so eager to make contributions, and he was not wary of the ambush of those guys. He ended up crashing into a trap set by the government army. Not only did he take the lives of dozens of brothers in the sect, but he also fell into their hands.
However, if you really want to ask yourself, Xue Linjing had to admit one thing. If you do it again, you will probably make the same choice. After learning that Hao Bao and the others had caught up with Shao Qiuxi and the others, they came to give the credit. After seeing the marks they left, they directly led people into the town and then wiped out the entire army again.
This is not that he is really greedy for merit and robbing merits at all costs. He really has to pay his merits to the death. Because he has not completed the task assigned to him by Elder Zhao so far, Li Ling is still alive. If he doesn't get some other merits back, it would be better to explain it to the elder.
But if Shao Qiuxi, who took this opportunity to treat the elder as a thorn in his eyes, would not only be able to defeat his merits and demerits, but would be appreciated by the elders. So no matter what, he would fall into a trap and then take his subordinates to die in this small town.
When Xue Linjing was escorted up and came to a room and saw one of the people sitting upright there, he was stunned for a while: "You..." but he recognized at first glance that he was the target he had always wanted to kill, Li Ling.
Li Ling was also looking at him carefully: "Xue Linjing, we meet again. I didn't see you carefully on the Silver Horse Road the day before yesterday. I am Li Ling. I think you should be very clear about my identity and have a good understanding of all other details of me, right?"
When faced with such a guy who had always wanted his own life, Li Ling's speech became very direct, and his tone was also filled with murderous intent: "Tell me, do you want to suffer all the torture and die miserably, or do you want to be like everyone else and be punished by Ming Zhengdian in the end."
Xue Linjing was even more confused. This is wrong. When others want to threaten someone to explain things, aren’t they all the choices for saving your life or being killed? Why do they die when they come to his mouth?
But then he understood Li Ling's cruelty. It was already this time. Who doesn't know the attitude of both sides? How could he save lives? Especially Xue Linjing, he wanted to kill Li Ling several times and several times. If the other party said he could save his life, he might not believe it. So this choice is even more convincing, but he just dies, why should he submit?
Seeing his expression changed a few times, but he didn't speak, Li Ling looked at him with a smile: "It seems that you haven't figured out what I mean. Although it's better to die than to live, if you really taste the methods of our Imperial City Department, you will only ask for a quick death, because that is the liberation. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you to you yet. These two are famous torture experts in the Imperial City Department, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen, under their hands, you can't even die quickly. If you want to kill you for a month, you will never let you die in the twenty-nine heavens!"
Four cold eyes fell on Xue Linjing in conjunction with Li Ling's statement, causing his skin to tremble, as if the four eyes turned into four small knives and cut their flesh and blood bit by bit. This feeling was really terrible.
At this time, Yang Chen laughed and said, "My lord is too much. Although our brothers have some tricks, they are not strong enough to kill one person for a month. At most, they will only kill twenty-three days. Then the man told everything, and I ended him as he wished." As he said that, he licked his lips, as if he was savoring the torture feeling that he had been tormenting.
Yang Zhen also smiled: "My craftsmanship is worse, and I kill people for up to twenty days. However, skinning people alive is my best skill. As long as the adults speak, I will surely peel off his entire skin, but the person is jumping around." As he said, he had a small lancet in his hand, which was shining with cold light and was hovering at his fingertips, looking like he was eager to try and showing his strength in front of Li Ling.
"It's too bloody to peel human skin alive, so adults shouldn't like to watch it. I have a trick here, hang the golden bell upside down, just insert the hook into its lower body and hang the person upside down, every day, his intestines will be pulled out by the hook a few inches. This taste is the most enjoyable." Yang Chen proposed a new plan.
The two of them kept proposing some torture techniques that Xue Linjing had never heard of, but they thought about it. This made his clothes soaked in cold sweat and his feet became weak, but he couldn't even stand.
Since he joined the Luotian Sect and was doing rebellious things, he naturally did not take his life seriously. But being killed is one thing, but being tortured for dozens of days, and eventually becoming a blood gourd is another thing. Xue Linjing may not be afraid of death, but he cannot accept it in any way to be tortured for dozens of days.
Xue Linjing's face was twisted and he was struggling in his heart. His only hope was that the other party's words were false and were just to scare him, but did he dare to gamble?
Li Ling quickly grasped the hesitation and fear in his heart, and still looked at him with a smile: "Okay, my patience is also limited, you should choose a way to die quickly. If you want to die happily, just explain everything honestly."
"Do you think he will be fooled?" Outside the room, Xiao Chengzhi asked Sun Bi around him with curiosity. They only watched the matter on the wall, and asked themselves if they did not have the acting skills of Li Ling and the others, and they were afraid of showing flaws at critical moments.
Sun Bi said confidently: "It should be possible, but he was scared to see that he was silly. To be honest, if you and me are replaced, I will be scared if I don't know it. After all, the methods they said do not seem fake."
"Yes, skin the human skin alive, hang the golden bell upside down... These tortures were never heard of in the past, and I don't know how he thought of them. They really need to be used on humans..." Thinking of that horrible scene, Xiao Chengzhi shivered and felt a chill on his back.
Compared to them, Xue Linjing was under even greater pressure. Finally, as Yang Zhen took a step forward impatiently, watching the thin knife as thin as willow leaves flashing in front of him, as if he was about to peel it off. He couldn't bear it anymore and screamed: "I...I am willing to explain, just to die quickly!"
"Very good, then I'll ask you, what is your name and what is your identity?" Li Ling was determined and asked immediately, from shallow to deep.
"Xue Linjing, the leader of the Huaibei helm of the Luotian Sect."
"Since he is the helm leader in Huaibei, why does it appear in the southwest?"
"Because I came on order..."
"Who is ordered and what to do?"
"Kill...kill you... I took the order of our elder Zhao to lead people to chase you."
"Elder Zhao? Who is he?" Li Ling said, his expression becoming solemn, because the problem had reached the critical point, the person behind the scenes who had always wanted to kill him was finally about to appear.
"Elder Zhao's name is... Zhao Chenghuang, now in Pingjiang County, Hengzhou Prefecture, Huaibei..." Xue Linjing hesitated and answered. Since he decided to explain everything, he naturally did not dare to lie.
Li Ling frowned slightly. Zhao Chenghuang, Pingjiang County, seemed to have some impression of this person, place name, but I couldn't remember when I had an intersection with him. If Jiangbei County could still have some connection, Pingjiang, I had never been to him.
However, he still asked: "What is Zhao Chenghuang's public identity in Pingjiang County?" An important figure in Luotian Sect like this naturally has a public identity that can be seen.
"He is the manager of the rich family in the local area and the Ji family."
"Ji Family..." Another noun that made people feel a little familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember any connection, so he could only continue to ask, "I really don't remember where I offended you Luo Tian Sect before, and I have never had a grudge against that Zhao Chenghuang. Why did he kill me several times? And he was so willing to do something big and sent out so many people."
Faced with this problem, Xue Jinglin obviously hesitated, but after facing the cold gaze of the Yang brothers beside him, he finally failed to withstand the pressure and said, "It is because of the young master of Ji family that you offended the young master of Ji family before, so Elder Zhao will kill you at all costs!"
"Young Master of Ji Family..." Li Ling frowned even deeper, and at the same time, his mind kept recalling the past experiences. Finally, a detail in his memory that he had long ignored had passed by like lightning. He blurted out: "Try Hengzhou Prefecture, Ji Wuyou?"
"The young master of the Ji family called Ji Wuyou..." Xue Linjing answered honestly, but saw Li Ling being stunned and could not come back to his senses for a while.
When the answer to this question that had troubled him for a long time was finally revealed, Li Ling was shocked and felt it was absurd.
Yes, it’s ridiculous! I and Ji Wuyou only had that kind of relationship. After thinking about it carefully, even the conflicts were not even considered a sign. Didn’t it just that he made him lose face at that time, and he never said anything against him.
But what happened? They had to kill themselves, and even used the Luotian Sect's troops. If it weren't for Li Moyun and the others' protection, they would have died a few years ago under the assassination of the other party.
Then, Li Ling's memory of that time became clearer, and he remembered that there was a middle-aged man named "Uncle Huang" accompanying Ji Wuyou at the inn at that time, Zhao Chenghuang, who was Zhao Chenghuang, the elder of Luotian Sect!
Although he could not remember the exact appearance of the other party, Li Ling could already be sure that the guy who had met with him was an important figure in the Luotian Sect who made the court feel a headache. At this moment, in addition to being angry, he was more afraid. If he hadn't been lucky enough, he might have died at the hands of these guys when he was still in the palace.
