I Jianghu

As a source of news, the Ministry of Letters has close ties with other ministries, and often needs to deliver news and issue orders. Originally, Ni Chang was not required to run errands in person, but there was only one place where she never pretended to be someone else, and that was the Palace of Night.The Night Palace is the place Ni Chang least wants to come to but is most concerned about.

The guards guarding the temple said that Shu Li was in the martial arts training ground, so Ni Chang searched for it with a heavy heart.Before he got close, he heard the sound of fighting from the yard. It seemed that he was indeed practicing martial arts. Ni Chang was relieved, and turned around the porch and was startled by the scene in front of him.

There were several people standing in the center of the martial field, all armed with weapons, only one person was unarmed, and his clothes had already been chopped to pieces by swords, guns, swords and halberds.

"Stop!" Ni Chang yelled, but the people in the Palace of Night did not listen to her instructions, but their dumb movements froze, and they were kicked in the back again.Ni Chang was about to climb up the martial stage in a hurry, when a strong wind blew up behind her, she wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"Little Ni Chang is quite diligent in running to my night palace." Shu Li's lazy voice sounded behind him.

Ni Chang's big acupoint was hit, and he could only watch helplessly as he struggled in the battle circle, and in an instant there were several wounds on his body, and he said anxiously, "Shu Li, let me go!"

"Yo, little Ni Chang is angry? I let you go, what are you going to do?"

"I just wanted to ask what are you doing?!"

"Didn't you see what I was doing? Martial arts training, Ni Chang didn't know? Or are the people in the letter department so free that they don't need to train?"

"You!" Ni Chang stabilized his mind and advised himself not to be as knowledgeable as this ruffian. "Now that the battle is imminent and it is time to employ people, if you train like this, if something goes wrong, it will be unjust!"

"Tsk tsk, little Ni Chang misunderstood me." Shu Li's face was full of injustice, "It is precisely because of the imminent battle that such training is necessary. The battlefield is full of dangers, and they may fall into danger at any time. I am letting them know in advance." The tempering is really for the sake of their lives, and it will be too late for them to thank me when they go to the battlefield in the future."

"Excessive words! I can't explain to you!" Ni Chang was worried about the situation of being dumb, so he wanted to use brute force to break through the acupoints. However, he rushed to the heart and hurt the meridians, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.Seeing this, Shu Li was startled, quickly unblocked her acupuncture points, and rushed over to support her vest to send some internal energy.Ni Chang struggled to get up, but Shu Li held her in his arms with one arm, and said sharply, "Nonsense! Don't move!"

"Release... dumb!"

"You..." Shu Li didn't expect that she was still thinking about dumb things at this time, gritted her teeth, and shouted at the stage, "Stop!"

In fact, Dumb couldn't hold on for a long time. He didn't know how many waves of the wheel battle with one against the crowd. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth like a line, but he had no time to worry about it. The palace master ordered everyone to be serious, who would dare to release water? ?Those who release the water will be punished, and those who lose will also be punished, and for him, the punishment will be doubled.Dumb's eyes went dark, and he was hit hard by a stick in the back, affecting the injury on his shoulder. The pain made him almost faint, but he subconsciously avoided the oncoming steel knife based on his feeling, and rolled to one side without stopping. Wen, I have already felt the sword energy coming towards me, I'm afraid I can't avoid it this time... I smiled bitterly in my heart, the double punishment depends on whether he survives to receive it.

"stop!"

The momentum of the sword suddenly dissipated, Huanhu felt his body lighten, and put one hand on the ground, enduring bouts of dizziness.Brother, he stopped, because he was worried about himself?I really want to see my brother's worried expression. He raised his head dumbly and tried his best, but he couldn't see clearly... He was supported by willpower all the time. Once he stopped, he realized that the cold sweat on his body kept breaking out. The surroundings were so quiet that he couldn't hear anything. The sound is only a loud heartbeat echoing in the body, and the eyes are also pitch black. There is a "bang", did he pass out?

"Mute!" Ni Chang couldn't move, so he could only worry.

Shu Li ordered coldly: "Drag him down and follow the rules."

"Bastard, what are you going to do?!"

Ni Chang turned his head and looked at Shu Li viciously, but Shu Li just pretended not to see, "Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, tell me, what orders does the leader have?"

"Release the mute first, and I'll tell you later!"

"The night palace also has the rules of the night palace, little girl, give me enough!"

"You are just enough! You..."

"Shut up!" Shu Li was so angry that he pushed Ni Chang's face back with one hand, his blood was so turbulent, no matter how much internal energy he lost, it was useless!

Ni Chang's cheeks on both sides were pinched, but he still stubbornly finished the remaining two words, "Idiot!"

Shu Li snorted twice, "Believe it or not, if you don't talk about business again, I'll ask them to give that kid another [-] lashes!"

"you……"

"Come on!"

"Wait!" Ni Chang gritted his teeth, "I say yes! Don't make things difficult for you to be dumb!"

Shu Li smiled triumphantly, "Okay".

"When the next month is full, the Martial Arts League will gather at the foot of Tianyuan Mountain. The leader ordered Yebu to keep 100 people for himself, and then send [-] people each to the Ministry of Letters and Rites." Ni Chang finished the matter through gritted teeth.

Shu Li didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he was silent for a moment and asked, "What's the latest news from the Ministry of Arts?"

Seeing that Shu Li asked seriously, Ni Chang immediately thought about it, "The Department of Art has always acted strangely, and only listened to the leader's orders. The leader called Lian Hui over the past two days alone, and I don't know what he said. Why? You think the leader's Is there a problem with the order?"

"It's hard to say, the leader has always been far-sighted. Although there is nothing wrong with this order, I always feel that I am waiting to die."

Ni Chang frowned, "Will you?"

"Is it not something you and I should care about, he will never tell us to die in vain." Shu Li smiled, put his hands away and stood up, "I have received the order from the leader, go back to your Xi Palace , I will not send it away."

"Stop! Where are you going?"

"Where are you going?" Shu Li looked at Ni Chang amusedly, "Is there any place in the Palace of Night that I can't go to?"

"You said you would let go of the mute, are you going to break your promise?"

"Little Ni Chang has a bad memory. I said I wouldn't embarrass him, but I didn't say I would let him go." Shu Li sneered, "What, little Ni Chang fell in love with our Ye Shou? Do you want me to send him to serve? Unexpectedly This kid is quite good at seducing people, I should have sent him to the art department..."

"Shut up! He's your own brother, how can you say that about him!"

Shu Li's face turned cold in an instant, his eyes shot like arrows, "Say it again!"

"You will regret this!"

"Regret?" Shu Li suddenly remembered the "Brother" heard through the door, but... "So what about regret?" He said coldly, he can't regret it, and he has no right to regret it!

"Brother Shu Li" Ni Chang bit his lip, and finally softened, the dumb is in Shu Li's hands, no matter how much she said, it would only bring more torture to the dumb, "Ni Chang doesn't know what happened between you What, but Ni Chang assures you that he will not investigate this matter. I brought the dumbness back, and I treat him like a younger brother. I just ask the elder brother to treat him better for the sake of the younger sister. That child...is it true? I respect you and love you, I found you at any cost, and I am willing to stay by your side, you...how much you can be considerate!"

Shu Li couldn't help frowning, "What do you mean by that?"

"There are some things I should say, but there are some things I shouldn't say. It depends on people's intentions. If you have been bound by the past, some things will never be clear!"

"Hehe, what do you know?! Do you know what they did?! What right do you have to point fingers here?"

Seeing Shu Li who was a little excited, Ni Chang was taken aback suddenly. Does the always calm Lord of the Night Palace also have a side that is out of control?

"I really don't understand anything, it's Ni Chang who is overstepping." After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Shu Li standing in the distance, a little dazed.

————————————————————————————————————

When they got to the execution hall, the brothers in charge of the sentence were arguing for some reason.Shu Li was originally upset about the afternoon's affairs, and wanted to vent to the dumb, and when he heard the noise of this group of people, he became even more irritable, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked in.

It was only after entering the hall that Shu Li could see the scene in front of him clearly. Not only was the dumb being hung in the most excruciating position, but steel needles were pierced through several big holes on his body.When Ye Wei was tortured, his acupoints would be sealed, but it was just acupuncture. Such a cruel way of sealing acupoints would not be used on his own brother unless he was interrogated to extract a confession.

At this time, Huanhu lowered his head quietly, his long hair was messed up, hanging down from both sides, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or awake.

Shu Li unconsciously stopped walking and frowned slightly. Several sharp-eyed brothers noticed him and quickly reminded everyone to salute.

"Hall Master!"

"What's the noise?" Shu Li's voice was cold, with anger that he hadn't noticed, "When did my Night Palace allow lynching? Huh?"

"Subordinates don't dare!" Everyone hurriedly knelt on one knee to plead guilty, and the executioner said humanely, "Going back to the Palace Master, Ye Shou himself asked for it, saying that he was afraid of going into a coma during the execution..." The man said, a little embarrassed "" But even so, the man still passed out, and the brothers are discussing how to wake him up."

With the hands tied behind the back, the pain of the folded arms can make people awake, not to mention the steel needles piercing the acupuncture points. Looking at the wet and dumb, and the empty bucket beside it, I am afraid that it has been splashed with salt water, or... Still unconscious?Shu Li's hands behind his back were unconsciously clenched, and he suddenly remembered Ni Chang's words, which overlapped with Si Xing's words.

"That child... really respects and loves you, finds you at any cost, and is willing to stay by your side"

"It was Ye Shou's own request... for fear of falling into a coma during the execution"

"How much you can be considerate"

dumb what he asked for...

Shu Li's voice trembled a little, "Whip, how much have you hit?"

"It's less than halfway back to the Palace Master."

He fell into a coma in less than half of the time. According to the rules of the Palace of Night, after waking up, the penalty will be doubled. As a dumb Yeshou, and the rules I set for him before, it is... eight times!No wonder Yeyi and the others were in a dilemma, even if they tried to wake up the person, could the dumb and deaf people really survive those punishments?

"You guys go down first, I'll do the rest." Shu Li walked up to Huanhu, with his back to the crowd, his voice hoarse and deep.

There has never been such a rule in the Night Palace, and there must be a third person in prison when it is implemented.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they couldn't go against Shu Li's wishes, so they had to retreat.

Shu Li raised his hand and brushed a strand of black hair in front of the dumb, revealing his pale cheeks already drenched in cold sweat.The blood from the internal injury was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, and it was falling to the ground drop by drop.The clothes on his body have long been torn into rags, and there are layers of wounds, how many deep bones can be seen?Those skins intertwined between the wounds are more like decorations...

The ground under his feet was wet, and what he was stepping on was a pool of blood. He had suffered serious internal injuries just before the martial arts competition, and now he was being tortured with his internal strength sealed. How could he not add to the injuries?

It turns out that he has become so cruel... Strict requirements, endless punishment, and life-threatening tasks, since when did he never care about this child's life?

Putting his hands on the dumb and pale face, and resting his head heavily on his forehead, Shu Li's voice was low and hoarse, "Ye'er, why did brother hurt you like this?"

The author has something to say: At the request of some friends, I added a scene to the dumb~ I wish everyone a happy new year in advance!

The next chapter continues to be dumb:

"Please" whoever it is, he said weakly, "kill me."
