After the second watch, the drum beats, and it is late at night.

The prison in Dali Temple is quiet, and there are hungry mice scurrying around in the dark and cold cell, occasionally making light and sharp squeaks to clearly distinguish the two worlds of yin and yang.

Rats pass by cell by cell. If you are lucky, you can even bite a half-dead person.

Follow the smell of blood all the way to find the past, there really is such a person, stealthily approaching, that person is still alive, but there is a thick death aura on his body, and what is stronger than the death aura is the murderous aura that is as sharp as a sharp knife, which cannot be provoked.

The mouse was a little scared, so he turned his head and left. He bumped into a bowl of water at the door of the cell, and looked back at the man sitting in the corner, but the man didn't move, so the mouse dared to lie on the edge of the bowl and licked it There was a drop of water, but it seemed that the taste was not very good. Before I realized what was wrong, I fell down and never moved again.

Chi Yue half-closed his eyes and saw the mouse being poisoned to death, as if he hadn't seen it. He was neither surprised nor frightened. He even breathed slowly and steadily. He really seemed to be asleep, and it was just a dream.

The jailer inspected the cell, saw the dead mouse, stopped, opened the cell door gently, approached Chi Yue, and reached out to check his breath.

The corner of Chi Yue's mouth raised slightly, and he whispered: "Not dead.

Do not worry. "

"..." Zong Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "How do you know it's me?"

Chi Yue didn't even raise his eyelids, and said with a smile: "I said it before, the smell on your body is different."

Zong Sheng almost believed Chi Yue's evil, and wanted to roll up his sleeves and take a sniff for himself, but the officer's clothes were only taken from the warehouse of Dali Temple in the afternoon, and there was a smell of dust and mildew, so Zong Sheng didn't believe Chi Yue can tell the difference.

"I didn't realize who and when poisoned you."

"You are a new face, it is right to hide from you."

Chi Yue raised his eyes and glanced at Zong Sheng with a smile, "Hurry up and go."

At this moment, Chi Yue put on a fierce face, and suddenly smiled affectionately, not to mention his strange expression. Seeing that Zong Sheng was uncomfortable, he quickly backed out, and then locked the cell.

The water and the dead mice remained untouched.

The drum beats after the third watch, midnight.

Chi Yue's cell was opened again. The footsteps were very light, but much heavier than Zong Sheng's. Naturally, his martial arts were also much worse than Zong Sheng's. Chi Yue closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if he had no consciousness at all.

The visitor approached Chi Yue step by step, and the dagger hidden behind his back showed its edge, which was almost invisible in the dark night and dark cell.

Chi Yue was lazy, he didn't want to move, he let the people approach, until the moment the dagger was raised high and stabbed fiercely, Zong Sheng rushed over from nowhere, kicked the person flying, the dagger came out, and the person It was taken down instantly.

Only then did Chi Yue open his eyes, and smiled at Zong Sheng: "It was really dangerous just now, thanks to you for saving me."

Zong Sheng gave Chi Yue a condescending look, not wanting to talk to him.

With Chi Yue's skill, how could Zong Sheng be used to save him?Chi Yue wanted to pretend to be dead, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.

In the middle of the night, Dali Temple didn't make any noise, and the Dali Temple guard who wanted to kill someone was tied up and sent to the interrogation cell.

Only then did he realize that besides him, there was another scribe from Dali Temple who was captured and sent to prison tonight.

The guard and the scribe looked at each other, each of them felt cold in their hearts, knowing that they had been stolen, and there was no possibility of sophistry to deny it.

They have all served in Dali Temple for many years, and they have seen many punishments in this prison, so they naturally know what is waiting for them in the middle of the night, they are no different from dead people.

Pei Hao waited for most of the night, and now he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief but found it ridiculous.

Luo Yu spent half his life in Dali Temple, and now he has suffered a terrible disaster. His subordinates and colleagues who have followed him for many years are not only not sad, but even become accomplices, trying to kill people in Dali Temple prison? !

The name of Dali Temple is taken from the meaning of Dali, the prison of heavenly officials and nobles.

But how can there be a clear sky in this world?Even Dali Temple hides malignant tumors.

Pei Hao shouldn't be too surprised. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and Dali Temple is the same. It's just that he is upright and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. His rule is very strict. He always thinks that Dali Temple is always cleaner than the Six Departments these years many.

And this mess is right in front of Pei Hao's eyes!

Originally, Pei Hao thought that the clerk was taking advantage of the mastermind behind the scenes and passed on the message that the bandit was not dead. Bai Xiqiao personally tracked and followed them. Afterwards, they only had to follow the vine. Xiao stopped him and asked him to wait a little longer. After a while, the result was reached. The jailer on duty in the prison failed to poison, even if he did it himself, he couldn't let the prisoner survive tonight.

Pei Hao stared at the two for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "You two have been in Dali Temple for a long time, and you can avoid torture if you confess on your own."

The jailers and scribes bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were about to die.

Pei Hao sighed, turned his head to Qi Xiao and said, "Your Highness has worked hard tonight. It's late at night. Your Highness should go back and rest. I'll leave this to the minister. There must be evidence before court tomorrow morning."

Qi Xiao shook his head: "Master Pei, don't worry about me."

Pei Hao sighed slightly, leaving Qi Xiao to accompany him to interrogate overnight.

Qi Xiao tilted his head and swept Chi Yue up and down, and said to Zong Sheng, "Lead him down and clean up his injuries first."

"Thank you for your compassion."

"Yes."

***

Qi Xiao specially asked Pei Hao to clean up a room in the West Wing of Dali Temple for Chi Yue to heal and rest. Medicines, new clothes, and even hot water for bathing were prepared.

Chi Yue slowly took off the dirty clothes stuck to his body, glanced at Zong Sheng, and said with a smile: "Your prince is really good."

Zong Sheng boiled the warm water again, but ignored Chi Yue.

"However, I have just made meritorious service for the prince, so how can I kill the donkey regardless of my life and death, right?"

Zong Sheng still didn't answer, he poured two buckets of water into the bathtub by himself, went out and fetched two buckets from the well, and brought back the boiling water from the back kitchen, and went back and forth three times, doing hard work .

Chi Yue watched Zong Sheng busy with his work slowly. It seemed that he couldn't take off the filthy clothes on his body, and it took a long time for a sleeve to come off.

"hiss."

Zong Sheng heard Chi Yue gasp and looked back at him.

"It's stuck, I have a wound on my body, it hurts.

Come and help. "

Zong Sheng hesitated for a moment. When he was a child, Chi Yue could fight with others as hard as he wanted. How did he know that he was afraid of pain?How did you become so delicate when you grow up?Zong Sheng still walked over.

The outer robe is relatively easy, but the inner garment is really stuck to Chi Yue's wound, and the wound is torn apart with a single stroke, leaving a bloody mess, which is really scary to look at.

"Hiss, take it easy."

Zong Sheng frowned: "It hurts?"

Chi Yue wiped off the disguise on his face, but before washing it off, he turned his head to look at Zong Sheng with a big painted face: "You hit me, don't you know the severity?"

Zong Sheng pressed the corner of his mouth, as if he was barely able to suppress his anger. He just knew that he didn't attack hard, and it was all skin trauma. Chi Yue shouldn't be hurt so much. Obviously, Chi Yue was playing him again.

Zong Sheng stopped chattering with Chi Yue, and quickly tore off all his clothes at once, hurting as much as he wanted.

"Hey!"

Chi Yue was covered in blood and welts, and looked horrible. Zong Sheng glanced at it and turned his head away, but Chi Yue chuckled. Zong Sheng didn't know what he was laughing at, but when he heard the sound of water in the back room, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief .

Chi Yue's body was not seriously injured, but he still suffered from Zong Sheng's whip. He had to take medicine immediately after he washed it quickly.

"Hey, I can't reach it, please come in and help me."

Chi Yue called Zong Sheng again.

Zong Sheng sighed, stepped into the back room, and saw Chi Yue's upper body was bare, with wet hair pulled up casually, waiting for Zong Sheng to rub the medicine on him.

Zong Sheng looked at Chi Yue in a daze.

When Chi Yue was young, he looked thin and weak, but in fact he was quite strong. When he was full of food and drink in Wudufu, he grew up quickly.

But now Chi Yue is still slender, and he doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner at all. His skin is fine and white, and the bright red welts on his shoulders, arms, and chest are particularly shocking.

"Your body...why is it so clean? There is no scar at all?" The wounds I suffered when I was a child didn't even leave a scar?How can it be!

Holding a bottle of medicine in Chi Yue's palm, he looked at Zong Sheng with a smile: "Apply the medicine for me, it's a thing in the palace, it can grow muscles and nourish the skin, and it won't leave scars."

Zong Sheng took the medicine into his hand and wounded Chi Yue, but his doubts did not diminish at all, and he couldn't help asking: "In those years in Wudu Mansion, I suffered so many injuries, how could it be possible to get rid of them all?"

"Haha, of course it can, it will be gone after shedding two more layers of skin."

Take off two layers of skin?

The more relaxed Chi Yue said, the more suspicious Zong Sheng felt.

He gently applied the milky white ointment to the wound on Chi Yue's arm with wood chips. He remembered that there was an arrow wound on Chi Yue's back and right shoulder, which was nailed into the bone. The injury never healed, almost crippled Chi Yue's arm, and then gradually healed after gouging out all the carrion and scraping the bone, but the injury is gone now, as if it never existed.

How can such scars be easily removed?Take off two layers of skin?Will it be easy?

"……why?"

Chi Yue bumped his head sideways into Zong Sheng's gaze, and suddenly showed a flustered look, and hurriedly avoided it, and said with a low smile, "Those scars are so ugly, what are you keeping?"

Zong Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed Chi Yue's right shoulder. The scar should have been there, but now it was clean.

The gentle touch of Zong Sheng's fingertips made Chi Yue's back stiffen for a moment, as if he could still feel the pain of the wound, the pain that pierced into the bone.

He still remembered, unexpectedly Zong Sheng also remembered.

And when Zong Sheng's fingers stroked slowly, he didn't seem to be in pain, but felt a little itchy in his heart.

"...All these years, you..." Zong Sheng frowned and wanted to ask, but Chi Yue interrupted his words just as he spoke.

"Hurry up, it's very cold."

Chi Yue looked at Zong Sheng, blinked, and asked him with a clever smile, "Or do you want to watch for a while?"

Zong Sheng glared at Chi Yue, and pressed the piece of wood in his hand on Chi Yue's wound, causing Chi Yue to feel pain for nothing. He was really insane to worry about this guy.
