"Who are you people?" Li Mu suddenly had a bad feeling. He asked, "Where are Feng Yuanxing and Ma Junwu? Tell them to come out and see me. "
"Haha, those two bastards offended Young Master Li Bing. They are simply digging their own graves. Our master has put them in prison and tortured them. Who are you? Are you their accomplices? Guards, take him down! "The leading general sneered and ordered the soldiers to take action.
"Put in prison?"
"Tortured?"
Li Mu was shocked.
"When did this happen?"
His scalp went numb. Without asking any more questions, he cast the body-lightening skill and turned into a stream of light, directly shooting toward the county jail.
"Saving people is the priority."
"I need to get them out first. Everything else can be discussed later."
The deputy general and the other black-armored soldiers only felt a blur in front of their eyes. With a gust of wind, Li Mu's figure disappeared.
"He ran away? Go after him! "
"Hurry up and report to the two officials and Mr. Zheng!"
"Ah, I recognize him. He is Li Mu, the county magistrate."
At the gate of the county government, there was a lot of shouting.
…
…
"Damn it, he fainted again …"
Li Bing threw the red-hot soldering iron into the brazier next to him and continued to roast it.
The air was filled with the smell of burning flesh.
On the steel rack, Feng Yuanxing was naked. His body was covered with all kinds of strange wounds. Not a single piece of his skin was intact. Some flesh on his chest and thighs was even cut off, exposing his bones. However, Li Bing had applied the best medicine to stop the bleeding, because he didn't want Feng Yuanxing to die so soon.
He hadn't had his fun yet.
"Splash!"
Ice water mixed with ice cubes and chili powder was splashed on Feng Yuanxing, who was in a coma.
"Ah …"
In a low moan, Feng Yuanxing regained some consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
"Hahaha, you bastard, you woke up again. Are you excited to see me? Hahaha, it's okay. Take your time. I will play with you slowly. I promise you will feel like dying. Hahahaha!"
Li Bing's ferocious laughter echoed in the torture chamber.
On the side, in front of the brazier, a prison guard was sweating profusely as he pumped the bellows. Another prison guard was adding charcoal into the brazier. The flame suddenly rose to a height of two to three meters. The orange flame released a terrifying heat, roasting several different branded torture instruments in the brazier into an orange color.
"Next, which one should we choose?"
With a cruel smile on his face, Li Bing glanced at the branded torture instruments in the brazier. His voice sounded like a devil from hell.
In the end, he chose a red-hot headband.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If you put this thing on your head, I'm afraid your brains will be cooked." Li Bing raised the scarlet headband in front of Feng Yuanxing and said with a smile, "How about this? As long as you call Li Mu a bastard, I'll spare you this time and let you go back to your cell to rest. What do you think?"
Feng Yuanxing's lips moved slightly, making a weak sound.
"What did you say?" Li Bing leaned closer.
"Pooh!" A mouthful of bloody phlegm sprayed on Li Bing's face.
Li Bing was mad at once. "You're f * cking courting death. Guards, put this headband on him. Strangle him to death …"
Having tortured Feng Yuanxing, Zhen Meng, and Ma Junwu for such a long time, he thought it was enough to make the three officials of Taibai County cry and beg for mercy. However, the result disappointed him. No matter how cruel the torture was, no matter how dazzling their bodies were, he could not make them beg for mercy.
The look in the eyes of the three even made him feel a little scared.
At this time —
"Clang!"
The door of the torture chamber behind him was opened with a loud noise.
Li Bing was furious. Without looking back, he scolded, "Which bastard is blind? Didn't I tell you? Don't disturb me when I'm playing. Don't disturb me. Are you f * cking courting death? "
In the torture chamber, there was only silence.
It was as quiet as death.
The two jailers who kept the fire looked in the direction of the door of the torture chamber with horror. Their faces turned pale with fright, and they trembled with fear. With a clang, they accidentally knocked over the brazier and dropped it on the ground.
The other jailers also froze on the spot as if they had been petrified.
When Li Bing saw this scene, he was startled. Suddenly, a kind of uncontrollable panic and fear emerged in his heart. He slowly turned around and looked over. Then, a huge shock appeared on his face, and soon after, it was followed by fear ….
At the door of the torture chamber, a tall and slender figure slowly walked in.
Behind him, a group of black-armored soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess. They were moaning and screaming like wheat stalks swept down by an angry hurricane.
"You, you, you … Li Mu, you … Da da da da …"
Li Bing was trembling all over, and his teeth were chattering. He could not utter a complete sentence.
The indescribable fear, like a nightmare, gripped him and made him lose the ability to think.
Because he recognized that the intruder was Li Mu.
He was a young man who had become the biggest nightmare in Li Bing's life for a period of time. Li Bing originally thought that he had gotten rid of the nightmare after he got out of the prison. He even couldn't wait to see Li Mu again and take revenge on him. But when Li Mu really showed up in front of him, he just wanted to run away and never see Li Mu again.
Plop! Plop!
The jailers in the torture chamber all knelt on the ground.
Those jailers were not black-armored soldiers from the Chang 'an government. They had been stationed in the prison for a long time, so they all knew Li Mu. They were all scared out of their wits and dared not to raise their heads.
Li Mu's eyes did not linger on those jailers.
Nor did he linger on Li Bing.
He did not even look at Li Bing. He walked past Li Bing and came to the torture rack.
"Hmm … Hmm …"
Feng Yuanxing weakly opened his eyes. Against the light, he finally saw the figure in front of him clearly. Suddenly, he became excited. He whimpered something, but his words were not soft. His body trembled, and finally, it turned into a kind of aggrieved and emotional cry.
Li Mu reached out and held Feng Yuanxing's hand.
At this moment, he almost lost the ability to speak.
He did not know what to say.
"I'm sorry …" Li Mu felt very guilty and blamed himself. He said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I'm late. I'm sorry."
He reached out and took out all the shackles and hooks on Feng Yuanxing's body. Then, he picked up the scarred body and took him down from the torture rack.
"Prepare a bed. Go get a doctor … Hurry!"
Li Mu turned around and said.
Several jailers kneeling on the ground shuddered and immediately took action.
Someone went to get a doctor.
Hurriedly, several cotton-covered beds were brought in.
Li Mu gently put Feng Yuanxing on the bed and said, "Don't worry. You're safe now. No one can hurt you in the future. In this world, there are many magic herbs and precious medicines. I will find them. No matter what the price is, I will cure you."
Feng Yuanxing looked at the young and handsome face in front of him with blurred eyes. He felt unprecedentedly calm, as if all the pain in his body had disappeared in an instant.
"And … and … Ma Junwu, and Zhen … Zhen, they …" Feng Yuanxing struggled and said anxiously, as if something occurred to him.
A moment later.
Ma Junwu and Zhen Meng were carried out of the damp and dirty cell and placed on the soft and dry bed.
When he saw that Ma Junwu's body was also deformed and covered with all kinds of strange scars, especially when he saw that one of Ma Junwu's arms was chopped off, Li Mu suddenly felt a surge of hot blood in his head. He was so angry that his head almost flew off.
Li Mu took a deep breath and tried to restrain himself from exploding.
"Your Honor, I … I didn't betray you. I …" Zhen Meng said weakly.
The reticent man's face was badly mutilated, and only his facial features were vaguely discernible.
But his eyes were bright, and there was a hint of a complacent smile.
Because he knew that he finally made it.
He made it.
He forced a smile, nodded, and said, "I know, I know. I didn't misjudge you … Don't worry. You will all recover. You will be better than before. I will let you take revenge with your own hands. The pain you have suffered will be paid back a thousand times to the people who hurt you."
When the jailers heard that, they immediately turned pale and knelt on the ground.
"Your Honor, we were forced to …"
"We had no choice. He said that if we disobeyed his orders, he would hang us on the rack and then kill our families. I …"
The jailers begged.
"It has nothing to do with you." Li Mu said.
Those jailers were poor people. How dare they disobey Li Bing's orders when they were threatened?
They were just nobodies with families. Even if they wanted to, they could not save Feng Yuanxing and the others. They were just tools to be used. Although Li Mu was angry, he also knew he should not blame them.
Li Mu fixed his eyes on Li Bing.
"Ah, ah, ah …" Li Bing, who was stiff on the spot and did not dare to move, suddenly woke up from a dream. Like a dog whose tail was stepped on, he screamed and dashed toward the door of the torture chamber, trying to escape.
Li Mu did not chase after him.
He exerted force on the tip of his foot and threw a stone on the ground.
Bang!
Li Bing's left leg was pierced by the stone, and a mist of blood burst out.
He rolled on the ground like a gourd and screamed miserably, "Ah, no, don't kill me, don't kill me. My father is Li Gang, the magistrate of Chang 'an. Don't kill me …"
At that time, the best doctors in the city, led by the jailers, hurried over.
After a round of examination.
"Your Honor, except for Dutou Ma Junwu, the other two are fine. They only have some superficial wounds, which are not fatal. They can recover after a long time of rest, but there will be some scars on their bodies …" reported the doctor who once treated Li Mu's arrow wound in the cave of Shennong Faction.
"The scars don't matter. Just hurry up and treat them. If you need any medicine, just tell me directly." Li Mu nodded, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can Dutou Ma Junwu be saved?"
"Well … His Honor Ma has lost a lot of blood and lost an arm. His condition is very dangerous …" said the doctor with a troubled look.
