.

In the dark dungeon, Xiao Feng looked at the captured prisoner with a serious face and asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"

"Pah" The assassin spat at Xiao Fengzhen with disdain.

Xiao Fengzhen flashed and avoided his saliva and continued, "Don't think that this will anger me and kill you. There are many ways to make life worse than death in this world. Since you want to try it, I hope you don't give up halfway."

"Hmph." The assassin snorted disdainfully. As an assassin, endurance torture is a compulsory course, how could he care about whipping him for a while? But the assassin did not expect that Xiao Fengzhen had no intention of using ordinary punishments on him at all. The loss of the child made Xiao Fengzhen a little unreasonable, and he ordered people to find all the punishments that had been abolished. The punishments of the older generation are simply incomparable to the current punishments. In terms of severity, it is simply the world and the underground. It is precisely because the punishments of the older generation are too harsh that a new generation of punishments was born. Now, Xiao Fengzhen is preparing to reappear the punishments of the older generation on the assassin.

"According to the order of the adult, every time you use a punishment, you will tell you how to use the punishment so that you can be mentally prepared. First, we plan to use the ten thousand ants to eat the heart on you. The method is very simple, which is to use a knife to cut several wounds on you, then apply honey to the wound, and finally place the ants that have been prepared long ago near the wound. Are you ready? Then we will start."

The jailer grinned and used a dagger to cut wounds on the assassin's body. Each of the wounds was not big, and the blood was flowing a little, and then it stopped flowing. Then the jailer moved a pottery jar and placed it under the assassin's nose to let him smell the fragrance of honey, and then began to grab the honey with his hands and apply it on the assassin's wound.

The assassin who was blocked from his mouth to prevent suicide tried hard to twist his body, trying to avoid the jailer's hands covered with honey. How could he, who was tied up all over his body, besides the saying, "I am the slaughter of the enemy, and I am the slaughter of the enemy, and then I can only be slaughtered by others."

The assassin is not afraid of death, and a big scar is lost on his head. However, the assassin is still unwilling to experience such things as life is worse than death.

With a "bang", an ant nest dug out of the ground fell next to the assassin's feet. Following the scent of honey, the ants in the ant nest crawled out one after another and began to feed along the assassin's feet.

The assassin, who was pulled only by a pair of shorts, suddenly felt a layer of goose bumps on his body. A numb and itchy feeling slowly spread throughout his body. The assassin shook his body with all his strength, hoping to get rid of the ants crawling around him. Unfortunately, those damn things were not something he could get rid of now, and he was still slowly looking for the source of the fragrance that attracted them. Finally, they discovered the place where the honey was.

The three feelings of pain, itching and numbness kept hitting the assassin's brain, making the assassin regret that he did not bit his tongue and committed suicide when he scratched it. So to this point.

Outside the cell, Xiao Feng looked at the painless assassin, who was struck by his head repeatedly. His child was gone, and Xiao Feng really wanted to kill the assassin with his own hands now. But he understood that if the master messenger behind the assassin was not found out, there would be similar assassin in the future, and he would cut off such a thing from the source.

After a stick of incense, the jailer walked to the assassin who was about to go crazy with a bucket of water and poured it down from the beginning. In an instant, the ants that were originally lying on the assassin were feasting on their bodies as if they had encountered natural enemies, curled up and were washed down.

The assassin, who was already a little devastated by the cold water, suddenly woke up, but his eyes were still blank, looking at the prison guard, not understanding what the prison guard wanted to do?

"Don't misunderstand it. My adults think it's too cheap for you to die like this, so I'm going to use the second punishment on you, the skin rinse. The process is also very simple. I first pour boiled water on you, and then brush it with an iron brush with salt. A layer of skin will be brushed off. Just brush it a few times and you can see the bones on your body... Look, boiled water is coming."

The assassin's eyes burst, he twisted his body hard, and his mouth kept making whimpers. Seeing this, Xiao Fengzhen outside the cell was probably about the same. He pushed the men in and came to the assassin and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Woooooooo..." The assassin shook his head in an anxious manner.

"Pick off his gag, be careful not to give him a chance to bite his tongue." Xiao Fengzhen ordered the prison guards beside him.

"Yes, sir." The jailer stepped forward to take down the log stuffed in the assassin's mouth, and tied the assassin's mouth with a sweat towel around the back of his head, so that he could speak without worrying that he would have the chance to bite his tongue and commit suicide. And the most important thing is that he would never spit at Xiao Fengzhen again. Xiao Fengzhen avoided it in time just now. If he was vomited, the jailer would be dead.

"Tell me, who instructed you to come?" Xiao Fengzhen asked coldly.

"I want me to say yes, but you have to promise me a condition."

"You are not qualified to make a condition with me. Either you say the messenger and I will give you a pleasure; or you will bite you to death and let me see how many punishments you can survive." Xiao Fengzhen flatly refused.

"...I, I said, I just want you to have a good time."

"explain."

"It's... Your Majesty." The assassin whispered his master behind the scenes.

"...I'll have fun with him. You forget every word he said today. If someone asks, he will say that the assassin would rather die than die. In the end, he will be punished and died." After Xiao Fengzhen ordered the prison guard and turned around and left the dungeon. The prison guard also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he naturally did not dare to talk too much.

Xiao Fengzhen had thought before that the master messenger who assassinated him might be the True Demon Emperor, but he hoped that his judgment was wrong in his heart. But now, he confirmed his previous judgment from the assassin's mouth. This made Xiao Fengzhen feel irritated. Yes, he is an ambitious person, but he hopes that he can reach that position with the strength in his hands in the future. In the True Demon Empire, the emperor's successor is not decided by the current emperor, but by the royal senator's association, and the biggest basis for the choice of the senator's association is the strength of the successor. Now the True Demon Emperor sent someone to assassinate him, obviously intending not to follow the tradition of choosing successors in the True Demon Empire. If we infer from this, the elders of the Elderly Council living in the imperial capital may have been controlled by the True Demon Emperor. If he still appealed to the Elderly Council according to the previous methods, he might not even be wasted.

"Come here, go and invite the military advisor. I just said I had something urgent to discuss." Xiao Fengzhen ordered the personal soldiers behind him.

In the short time of the meeting, the military advisor rushed to Xiao Fengzhen's office under the leadership of his personal soldiers.

"Sir, I feel sorry for you." Military advisor Li Fuchen whispered to Xiao Fengzhen.

"...Don't worry, Fu Chen. I know it. I'm not asking you to come today for this matter, I have something else to tell you."

"Sir, please tell me."

"I just went to interrogate the assassin, and the assassin has already recruited the main messenger behind the scenes..."

When Xiao Fengzhen finished his inference, Li Fuchen asked softly: "What will you do next by sir?"

"...I haven't decided yet." Xiao Fengzhen said in a hint.

"...Sir, please forgive me for your own words. Now I am in the same power as the one in the imperial capital. Either you die or I die. If you want to take a step back, the sky will be wide, then what is waiting for me will definitely be the end of separation of my wife and children, and the family will be destroyed."

Hearing Li Fuchen's words of separation and family breaking down, Xiao Feng really thought of his wife who was lying on the bed to recuperate, and his child who died before he was born. Xiao Fengzhen suddenly realized that he and the True Demon Emperor are now in dying. The True Demon Emperor has taken action against him, and he is still hesitating here. This is really not worthy of it.

"Thank you for the reminder of Fu Chen, otherwise I wouldn't know how to choose. In the current situation, please teach me how to deal with it." Xiao Fengzhen asked after bowing to Li Fu Chen.

"Your Madam does not need to be too polite. As the saying goes, you can eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries. Our army is a little dispersed and it takes time to assemble. You may as well take this opportunity to send someone to the imperial capital to ask the Senate Council for appeal. First, you can paralyze the one in the imperial capital and buy time for our army's assembly. Second, you can see if the Senate Council has been controlled by the imperial capital, and third, you can see if the controlled Senate Council can be rescued."

"Fu Chen, I understand your first two suggestions, but I don't understand the third one. The members of the Senate Council are all difficult to serve. Is it a bit of trouble to invite them here?" Xiao Feng asked in confusion.

"Sir, I don't know that those elders are a problem. But if we don't ask some elders to speak for us, then the emperor's capital will say whatever we want. If he declares through the elders' meeting that we are the rebellion of the empire and let other forces in the empire attack us, our army is brave, but the heroes cannot withstand many people, and tigers cannot resist the wolves. Our enemy is only the one in the imperial capital, and we should try our best to fight for other people. Once the emperor's capital wants to order other forces to attack us through the elders' meeting, our elders will jointly issue a statement, not to mention anything else, as long as those ordered forces give up their attack on our army, we will take advantage of it."

"So that's it. Fuchen, you are really far-sighted. I have Fuchen's assistance, which is really a blessing for me." Xiao Fengzhen said sincerely.
