The crown prince who was drinking tea quietly held Li Mo's wrist, and looked at Li Yuan indifferently: "There is no hurry to have fun, the spies who were arrested before, can you bring them?"

"Since my cousin has explained it, Yuan certainly remembers it." Li Yuan replied, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen Chaomulou. The old man is too stubborn, and he doesn't allow me to play with bloody things on the family property."

"Hahaha, I still remember the thorny rattan ruler in my uncle's study room. Last time Yuan'er smoked it for three days and couldn't get out of bed." Li Mo held his cheeks and smiled, and twirled his longbow on the white stone jade brick. "Uncle is actually able to do it, tsk tsk, I feel so distressed."

"Bring it up, I'll interrogate you for my brother." The crown prince had a serious face, gripping the handle of the chair vigorously, "Look who is so bold to challenge the majesty of the royal family."

"It's because you are too gentle that someone dares to bully you." Li Sheng brows with slight anger, "Brother decides for you."

The three had a deep relationship since they were young, until the princes were separated, Li Yuan went to Yuezhou with King Qi, and Li Mo went to Lingnan with his father, and they only had the opportunity to meet each other during the festivals. with.

The crown prince was far away in the capital, and when he heard that his cousin had encountered assassins again and again, he couldn't sit still, so he came to take a look under the pretext of inspecting Linxun Erzhou.Li Mo'er was purely here to play around, taking advantage of the gathering in the capital two months later, to jump to the north to meet his brothers.

Li Yuan thanked him softly, knocked on the door a few times, and asked those waiting outside to bring him up.Yingchu brought over the spies who had been captured one after another from Xingtang.

While refilling the crown prince's cup of tea, Li Yuan smiled gently: "My cousin knows me, my riding skills are no better than my cousin's, and my archery skills are no better than Li Mo'er's, and I'm too lazy to practice, all relying on the shadow guards around me to protect me , now I regret that I didn't work hard at the beginning, I am not as diligent and knowledgeable as my cousin, and I am not as good at archery as Xiao Mo'er, but I am just dawdling in the mansion, I really wonder why the assassin is after me?"

Li Yuan was really puzzled.

Shadow Four has already caught several suspects, and after several days of interrogation, none of them spit out their mouths, and their mouths were tightly sealed, and they couldn't pry any news about their employers.It makes people feel uncomfortable.

Li Mo licked his lips and said casually, "Your guard is...very good."

"It's not good, it's very good." Li Yuan accepted this compliment without humility.

Ying Qi stood quietly outside the door. Hearing His Highness's evaluation of him, the corners of his indifferent mouth were slightly pursed. He slid against the wall and squatted down on the ground, buried his head in his arms, and quietly rubbed the cloth on his fingertips. It was full of hard calluses, and when he bent his body, the wounds on his chest and back were touched, and the pain was endless.

While talking and laughing, the door of the upper pavilion was slowly opened to both sides, and a row of Chaomulou guards escorted three ragged and blood-stained slaves up. Everyone was wearing heavy shackles on their hands and feet. Unsteady, as soon as the guard let go, the person fell down, and blood foam flew across the ground of Baishi.

Ying Wu came here in the afternoon, escorting the spies who had already been interrogated once to meet His Royal Highness.

Li Mo was bored, leaning on the back of the chair, suddenly straightened his back, stroking the bowstring with his fingers, looking at these prisoners eager to try, he turned his head and asked, "There are only three?"

"The road is very bumpy. Some of them could no longer hold on after being severely tortured. They died on the way and only brought six of them. Some are spies, and some are assassins captured alive." Li Yuan rubbed his face. Wiping his hands, he asked the crown prince, "How does my cousin want to be interrogated?"

Li Mo plucked a bowstring with all his strength, and there was a loud bang, and said with a sneer, "How else can there be an interrogation? It's good to use it as a target."

"I'll give you three a chance, tell me what you know now." The prince said flatly, "There is only... one chance."

The few captives kneeling in the hall were frightened. After hearing the sound of strings, their legs suddenly became weak, their eyes were full of sadness, and they were silent, obviously they were fully prepared to die.

The prince put down the teacup slowly, and the bottom of the cup fell on the table with a soft sound.

In an instant, Li Mo got up suddenly, the bowstring of the longbow with vermilion lacquer antlers was tensed, there was a buzzing sound of arrows, and a phantom like electric light flew across the sky, and the person on the far left flew out and slammed into the private room hard. On the golden jade wall, a bloody hole was pierced in his neck by a feather arrow, and his whole body was nailed to the wall. He desperately held the feather arrow stuck in his throat, but could not make any sound, his feet struggling and kicking in mid-air , The blood on the neck spewed out like a spring.

The corners of Li Mo's mouth kept sneering, his bony fingers tightened the bowstring, and several sharp arrows pierced through the air amidst the buzzing sound, piercing the captive's limbs and spleen with precision. , was nailed to the wall to show the public, the wall behind him was stained red with blood, only one heart was still beating, and he still held his breath, in excruciating pain.

The remaining two captives were trembling. Even if they were dead soldiers who had received rigorous training, they might have never seen such a shocking scene. Their legs were so soft that they knelt down on the ground, with their foreheads between their foreheads. Full of cold sweat.

There was an extremely strong and pungent smell of blood in the upper pavilion. Li Yuan casually picked out a piece of broken gold cake from the porcelain plate and put it in his mouth: "Not bad, not bad, Li Mo'er has improved a lot in archery."

"Tch, where is this?"

The bloody pastime of the royal family and dignitaries, this kind of scene has been intentionally downplayed for fun, and everyone has become accustomed to it.In fact, Li Yuan doesn't like this way of having fun, blindly cruel, not elegant.

The prince was still sitting upright, and slowly said to the two people in the hall: "He didn't cherish the opportunity I gave him, how about you?"

The faces of the two were pale, and their teeth were chattering.

"Do you need help?" The crown prince slightly raised his hand, and Li Mo drew an arrow to the bowstring. The bowstring buzzed, and another arrow pierced the man on the right through his collarbone, nailing him deeply to the ground. The man screamed miserably. , blood dripped from under his body, his body curled up in convulsions, and he struggled desperately but couldn't move.

Li Mo was indeed accomplished in archery. He seemed to draw the bow lightly, but it was full of strength. When the arrow sank into the white stone ground, a piece of sharp gravel burst out from the ground, embedded in the flesh of the two captives, and blood flowed freely.

The prince said to the only remaining captive: "You have a way out."

The prisoner's face was pale with fright, and his prison uniform was soaked in cold sweat and blood. As soon as he heard about the way out, he instinctively acted, and would try desperately no matter what.

"Now you have a chance to taste the heart of your party." The prince said calmly, "Eat it."

The man's eyes were tearing apart, and a whine came from his throat, because of extreme fear and nausea, his chest was overwhelmed.

"Or... your accomplice is already dead, so if you tell the mastermind, you can get out of your body and fly away incognito." The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, "Such fair opportunities... are not many."

The prisoner begged desperately, and looked at Li Mo in fear. Li Mo leaned against the wall, holding a red lacquer bow in his arms, and lightly plucked the bowstring, making a chilling sound down the spine.

The prisoner knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head, saying intermittently, "Prime Minister...Prime Minister Yan..."

The prince closed his eyes and nodded slowly: "Sure enough."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, Prime Minister Yan..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, an arrow pierced through his heart, blood spattered, and he fell slowly to the ground. When he died, his eyes were still staring in despair, and the eyes were bloodshot.

"If you're honest, I'll give you a quick death. I think I'm quite fair." Li Mo caressed the shiny black antlers on his bow, wiped his lips, and laughed.

Li Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then ordered the person in charge here: "Bring the other three up."

The guard escorted the other three over, and one of them was only in his teens, with fat cheeks and big eyes, and it was the little Fuzi who was serving by Li Yuan's side.

"I asked people around me to buy this child back to the house. In all fairness, I have never treated him harshly." Li Yuan sighed softly: "I didn't expect to sell me secretly. It's hard to guard against a house thief."

Xiao Fuzi kept a cold face as if accepting his fate, without saying a word, he slowly raised his head, scanning the three of them with dead eyes.

Li Mo was stared at by those lifeless, hopeless and helpless eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over, so he frowned and brushed off his sleeves: "This room is so smelly that I'm sick, go out and get some air, the two cousins ​​will continue."

After finishing speaking, he picked up Zhu Yun's antler bow, which he never left his hand, and pushed the door out of the Shangge elegant room.

As soon as he went out, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the indifferent young man conscientiously guarding the door. His exposed skin was pale, and his lips were cool and slightly pursed.

Although he was wearing a bodyguard uniform, but the fierce temperament unconsciously exuded on his body, and the etiquette and rules in his gestures, he could tell that he was not a bodyguard with a strong official atmosphere, but probably a dark bodyguard or a shadow bodyguard, who was still young and not good at flattering, Probably not high grade.

Ying Qi watched quietly outside the door, seeing Li Mo coming out, raised her eyelids and lowered them again.

"Yuan'er's guards...are they all so arrogant?" Li Mo sneered again, folded his arms and said softly, "Come with me."

Ying Qi looked up at him warily.

"I don't understand, okay." Li Mo raised his hand, "Come here, help him."

Li Mo slightly raised his hand, and two cold-faced Rakshasa-like men suddenly appeared, holding Ying Qi's arms.

An Xi and An Bei are Li Mo's secret guards, they have been wandering around in the dark and patrolling around, Ying Qi has already noticed, and has already judged their lightness kung fu level from the sound of their footsteps, and then deduced the level of force, Ying Qi thinks he is enough to deal with these two People, even if they can't win easily, can retreat completely.

But they were too close to Shanggeya Room, once there was a fight here, the pavilion would definitely be disturbed, Ying Qi didn't want to disturb His Highness's interest, so he didn't resist, and let the two of them put themselves in front of Li Mo.

The dark guard always had a contemptuous attitude towards the bodyguards, and his hands were relentless, twisting Ying Qi's arm until it rattled, Ying Qi's face was expressionless as if he couldn't feel it.

Li Mo leaned slightly, brushing away the hair that blocked Ying Qi's cheek with his fingertips, revealing a pair of deep and silent eyes.

He stretched out his hand to trace Ying Qi's thin jaw: "Don't beg for mercy, don't talk? You call your master now and ask Yuan'er to save you. If Yuan'er loses my face and really protects you, I won't say anything." What's the matter, how is it?"

Ying Qi gritted her teeth, looked at Li Mo silently with an indifferent expression.

Begging his master for help, Ying Qi will never do such a thing that insults the status of a shadow guard in his life, and he will definitely not let His Highness embarrass others because of himself.

Li Mo still remembered the contempt and contempt in the young man's eyes when he was talking to him.

Ying Wu escorted the prisoner over, but hadn't left yet, sitting on the eaves waiting for His Royal Highness to order, looking around but did not expect to see Ying Qi being taken away by Li Mo.

"..." Ying Wu swallowed, tremblingly crawled towards the window of His Royal Highness' private room.

Li Yuan was still watching the interrogator beside the prince, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ying Wu hanging upside down outside the window.

Ying Wu hurriedly made a few gestures: "Your Highness...Xiao Qi was taken away by the Prince of Lingnan."

The smile on Li Yuan's face froze.
