People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 776: The wind rises at the end of Qingping, and the dam is destroyed in the ant nest

Above the dim cell, there was a "pop" sound, and a long whip was already severely whipped on the figure hanging on the wall.

Dirty hair hangs down, and his face cannot be seen clearly, but his upper body is covered with whip marks, and blood oozes from the center of the whip marks.

With each thrust, he let out bursts of painful groans, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Li Xuan stood at the door of the cell, looked back at Li Xian, smiled softly, turned to Qian Niuwei who was holding a long barbed whip and said: "First sprinkle salt on his wounds, torture him overnight, and then clean them Clean it, then sprinkle sugar on the wound, find a nest of ants, and wait until the ants are full before asking, it should be much easier."

Hearing such calm but extremely vicious words, the figure hanging on the wall quickly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a face filled with resentment.

Brenzan Blade, the person hanging on the wall, covered in bloody whip marks, is Brenzan Blade.

The Prime Minister of Tubo discussed the fifth brother of Qin Ling, Brenzan Blade.

Behind Li Xuan stood Li Xian, Li Jinxing and Hei Te Changzhi.

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Li Xian's face showed a hint of unbearability. On the contrary, Li Jinxing and Hei Te Changzhi looked much calmer.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Qian walked out from the side and slightly cupped his hands towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan waved her hand and said directly: "Go find salt."

"Here!" Zhou Qian immediately bowed and left with the two Qianniu Guards.

Li Xuan stepped on the hay on the ground and walked to Brenzan Blade. She subconsciously reached out and wiped her nose, and said with some disgust: "It really stinks. How long has it been since you took a shower?"

"Go away, you devil." Brenzan glared at Li Xuan fiercely. If his body wasn't hanging tightly, he would even pounce on Li Xuan and bite her.

Li Xuan smiled softly, turned around and grabbed the red-hot iron from the brazier nearby.

The hot iron fire gave the air a burning smell.

Li Xuan took the soldering iron that was starting to darken and gently approached Brenzan's bloody body.

It could be seen that there were several traces of fire burns on his body, but they were all covered up by blood and whip marks.

Zhou Qian is still very considerate in his work.

The iron brand in Li Xuan's hand came slightly closer, and Brenzan Blade's body immediately subconsciously shrank back.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then held the soldering iron close to Brenzan Blade's face.

Brenzan tried hard to turn his head away from Li Xuan's iron, as if he didn't want to touch him at all.

"It turns out that you are afraid too!" Li Xuan's words made Brenzan stunned.

He tried hard to turn his head and look at Li Xuan, but for some reason, his body's instinct stopped him.

Because the iron brand is right in front of his face, as long as it touches it, his face will be destroyed immediately.

"Haha!" Li Xuan laughed, talking about Qin Ling's younger brother, that's it!
The next moment, the iron brand in Li Xuan's hand was pressed against Brenzan Blade's throat, chest, and lower abdomen all the way down.

The fiery temperature burned the skin of Brenzan Blade, allowing him to clearly feel the position of the iron and its intention...

Just when the soldering iron slid down to his abdomen, Brenzan Blade finally couldn't help shouting: "No!"

The soldering iron in Li Xuan's hand dropped by half a minute, and the hot touch made Brenzan's heart beat with fear. Fortunately, Li Xuan stopped immediately, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart immediately tightened again. He lifted it up, because Li Xuan's iron was still there, and if it fell three more points, it would completely destroy him.

"It seems that you still have some thoughts in your heart." Li Xuan looked up calmly, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"I won't say anything." Brenzan gritted his teeth. Although he was in danger, he knew the consequences of speaking.

The soldering iron in Li Xuan's hand moved forward slightly, and then suddenly shouted "Ah", Brenzan Blade immediately couldn't help shouting: "Ah..."

"Hey, hey!" Li Xuan gently patted Blenzan Blade's cheek and said with a sneer: "What's it called? It hasn't started yet!"

Blenzan Blade's cry suddenly stopped, and he could feel the hot iron on his lower abdomen. It was his subconscious suction of his stomach just now that prevented the iron from hitting his stomach, let alone going any further.

It was Li Xuan who shouted first, and then he followed.

Seeing the frightened look on Brenzanren's face, Li Xuan said calmly: "Don't worry, even if you want to say it now, I am not willing to listen yet. The real feast has not started yet, so don't worry."

Li Xuan looked back at the cell door. Zhou Qian hadn't come back yet.

Li Xuan then turned back to look at the nervous Brenzanren and said softly: "Let me tell you something. Just now, His Royal Highness the King of England has ordered Taozhou, Hezhou, Diezhou, Fangzhou, Shanzhou , several places in Lanzhou sealed the borders tightly, and then sent police officers and soldiers into the mountains and fields to search for your traces."

"Me?" Brenzan said in surprise, and then his eyes couldn't help but twitch, and his expression instantly became tense. "It seems that you have thought of it. Yes, you want to make it look like you are still on the run, so that your brother knows that you have not been caught yet..." Li Xuan stared into Brenzan's eyes and said softly. : "So, we have plenty of time. We can't guarantee one or two months, but three to five days is definitely no problem."

The left half of Brenzan Blade's face suddenly jumped uncontrollably, his eyes filled with fear.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and Zhou Qian came to Li Xuan's side with a basin of white salt in his hand.

Li Xuan glanced at Brenzan, then reached out and grabbed a handful of white salt, and said softly: "This should be the green salt dug out from Chaka Salt Lake. Green salt is also expensive in Chang'an. Now use these green salts." It won’t be a loss if I treat you with salt.”

The green salt in Li Xuan's hand fell, and most of it fell into the wooden basin, but one of his fingers carried more than a dozen grains of green salt, and he touched the wound of the Brenzan blade heavily.

"Hiss!" A sound of gritting one's teeth and sucking in air quickly came from Brenzan's big mouth. His face was already very distorted at this time.

I don't know why just a little salt makes the wound extremely painful.

"Does it hurt?" Li Xuan glanced at Brenzan Blade's distorted face, and then said without waiting for his answer: "I think it hurts, but you should be able to bear this pain, Zhou Qian! "

"My lord!"

"Find some iron filings, preferably those soaked in urine, then mix them with these green salts, then apply them on our general's wounds, and finally use a soldering iron to brand them... this salt , these iron filings, and that urine will be burned into the general’s body forever.”

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Brunzanren's face turned extremely frightened.

"Count again, look at the body of our general, there are only a hundred whip marks, see how much salt and iron filings are needed?" After Li Xuan finished speaking, one hand was already on the Brenzan blade again. on the skin.

In an instant, the Brenzan blade was twisted hard, and at the same time, he suddenly cried out in pain: "No, no..."

He broke down.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and held the iron brand close to Brenzan Blade's face, the fire lighting up his eyes.

Li Xuan whispered in his ear: "Very good, keep it like this... Now, my first question: What is your name?"

Brenzan bit his lip hard and turned his head to the side, unwilling to speak.

Li Xuan was a little impatient and inserted one hand directly into the green salt on the side. This time, Li Xuan didn't need to ask any more questions. Brenzan saw this scene from the corner of his eye and couldn't help shouting in horror: "Zanren Gongdun, my name is Zanren Gongdun, Gar Zanren Gongdun."

Gar Zanren Gongdun, this is Bren Zanren's real name.

Just like Qinling's real name is Gar Qinling Zanzhuo, Gar is their surname.

It's just that after he became the Prime Minister and was also called Da Lun, he called it Lun Qin Ling.

Brenzan Blade, Bren should be his title or official position.

"How old are you now, and what is your position?" Li Xuan asked again immediately, without giving Brenzan any time to think.

"36 years old, You Blenn is also the general of Qingzhou." Brenzan said the words, and even his face looked very ugly.

A slight sneer flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and then she said: "Logically speaking, you are a Tubo noble. Although this matter is important, it is not your turn to come forward in person. Could it be that your eldest brother forced you to do so?" Coming?"

"Nonsense, I took the initiative to come here this time, capture the Prince of Tang Dynasty, and then return to Wuhai to lure the Tang army to attack." After Brenzan finished his sentence, his face twitched slightly, as if he had said something. Remarkable stuff.

His pleading eyes fell on Li Xuan, hoping that Li Xuan would never guess the secret.

"It turns out that Lun Qinling and the main force of Tubo are now in Wuhai. Your original purpose is to induce me to go to Wuhai with the army, so you still have to give up Fuqi City, just like you did last time That's the same." Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer, this was Qinling's method of dealing with Tang Dynasty's attack.

In fact, the same was true for Dafeichuan last time, but that time, Xue Rengui directly captured Wuhai.

But Wuhai was too far away, the journey was difficult, and supplies were insufficient. In the end, they were taken advantage of by others, which finally led to the defeat of the army.

It's the same this time, the method doesn't matter whether it's old or new, it just needs to be easy to use.

Li Xuan had already guessed the Tibetan people's strategy even when he was in Chang'an.

Abandoning the city wall and leaving a large number of Tuyuhun survivors to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to restore the country for Tuyuhun, it had to win over people's hearts. Naturally, it could not ignore them. The doubling of food and grass consumption further contributed to the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Li Jinxing and Hei Te Changzhi, and said calmly: "You two, I have basically finished all the questions I want to ask, and the rest is your business; the two of you are more experienced than me. If you want to be rich, I shouldn’t need to teach you how to ask.”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand." Li Jinxing and Heiji Changzhi handed over their hands at the same time. What they wanted to ask was the detailed deployment of the Tubo army on the Tang-Tubo border. How to ask, Li Xuan has already set a good example. , the rest is a matter between the two of them.

Just as Li Xuan was about to leave, Li Jinxing suddenly stopped, stopped Li Xuan, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The Duke of Yan is talking about the life and death of Mansong Mangzan. You see, he is here now and has not worried about Luozhe for so long. This is enough to show that Mansong Mangzan He's not dead yet, at least not yet, of course, or maybe Qinling didn't tell him the truth..."
