I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Chapter 86 Journey to the Capital

Chu Ning's six-year calendar.

eighth month.

The war between the royal family and the alliance has finally come to an end.

The Daliang royal family was completely defeated.

The entire Liang family was uprooted.

It is reported that fifteen grandmasters on the Allied side died in this war.

There were so many casualties because although the royal family had declined, the ancestor of the royal family had left behind several powerful trump cards.

It is a pity that the descendants of the royal family cannot activate one-tenth of the power of these treasures. Otherwise, it would be better if the Allied Army is not victorious and the entire army is not destroyed.

The royal family fell.

But just three days later, fighting resumed.

The Allied Forces suddenly attacked Routu. General Routu was seriously injured and his life or death was unknown. All five other Grandmasters of Routu were destroyed.

"So, Huang Zhongtai ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor. The biggest winner this time is the Huang family and him?"

Chu Ning listened to Chen Jingwu's news with a somewhat amused expression. Uncle Huang of his was really powerful. He had gone from being a suppressed illegitimate child to becoming the new emperor now.

This history of struggle is inspiring.

"To break the seal of the royal family, we must rely on Huang Zhongtai. For the major sects such as Wushuang Sect, they are now eager to break the seal."

Chen Jingwu's expression was a little depressed. By now, the successors trained by forces like Chen Jingwu already knew the inside story behind this war.

Unexpectedly, the biggest advantage was taken by Huang Zhongtai. Now everyone has to help Huang Zhongtai break through to the Grand Master, including the Chen family, who also have to contribute.

Chu Ning listened to Chen Jingwu's complaints and smiled lightly. If Huang Zhongtai wanted to break through the Grand Master, he would have to ask whether he agreed.

That flying knife was still a few days away from being completely refined.

And wait a few more days.

……

……

The sixth day of the eighth lunar month in the sixth year of Chuning.

The new emperor issued an edict and ascended the throne three days later, and everyone celebrated.

The seventh day of the eighth lunar month in the sixth year of Chuning.

Raozhou Mansion welcomed two grand masters and elders of the Huang family.

The Huang family is the big winner in this war. In addition to Huang Zhongtai's special features, it is also inseparable from the fact that the elder of the Huang family has broken through to the first-level master realm in retreat.

Except for the four major sects, none of the eight major sects has produced a first-class master in the past hundred years. The Huang family is the first one in a hundred years.

God bless the Huang family, and the Huang family will prosper.

This is the idea of ​​​​the Huang family.

After the two elders of the Huang family entered Raozhou Mansion, they headed straight for a destination.

Chen Family Courtyard.

"Jingwu, please don't get involved in this matter anymore. Now that the Huang family is at its peak, our Chen family can't afford to offend it, and even now it's too late to intervene."

After hearing the clan members' report, the elder of the Chen family looked at Chen Jingwu seriously.

"Great Elder, I will not get involved in this matter again."

Chen Jingwu readily agreed. The Great Elder and others also knew about Chu Ning, but they did not know that Chu Ning was already a grand master, and not just an ordinary grand master.

The two elders of the Huang family won't get much benefit from coming.

"Why does Huang Zhongtai care so much about Chu Ning? According to what you said, Jingwu, it was because of Chief Ji Bo that Chu Ning and Huang Zhongtai turned against each other. But now he is about to ascend the throne. Do you still remember this? A small matter?"

The elder of the Chen family was puzzled. Judging from the whole incident, Chu Ning should have some hatred for Huang Zhongtai, but you, Huang Zhongtai, are now the ones who want to ascend the throne and become emperor, even if they are afraid that Chu Ning will grow up. , if you want to kill Chu Ning, there is no need to be so hasty.

You should clearly distinguish between priorities.

……

……

In Chu Ning's yard, looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, his expression did not change much.

One is of second grade and one is of third grade.

He used the flying knife weapon to directly kill the second-grade master. He spared the life of the third-grade master and sent him on his way after asking for the truth he wanted to know.

As for the way to get these two people to talk, there is no other way... except torture.

Huang Zhongtai immediately sent the Huang family elders to kill him, not because he was afraid that he would grow up, but because he knew that he was also practicing Tiancan Kung Fu, and it was also successful.

I'm even a little faster than him and have reached the master level.

This is also the reason why the two elders of the Huang family came in a hurry.

With him around, Huang Zhongtai is not the best choice for the major forces.

He killed himself before the major forces knew about him, and it would be fine even if the matter came out afterwards.

As long as Huang Zhongtai is the only one, all major forces can only hold their noses and admit it.

So, who betrayed himself?
Chu Ning could already guess the answer in her heart.

He knew that he was practicing Tiancan Kung Fu, and he also knew that he had reached the master level.

There are only a few people who can let Huang Zhongtai know who is far away in the capital, and can even deduce his true identity. If the scope is narrowed down, they will be locked.

"If you ascend the throne tomorrow, I'll prepare a big gift for you."

……

……

Beijing.

There wasn't much fuss.

When the war reached the capital, it turned into a contest between master-level experts, and ordinary people were not affected too much.

On the contrary, many officials in the court were killed, and these people were loyal to the royal family.

city ​​gate.

A convoy of merchants drove out slowly, about five miles away, and the imperial city behind them became blurry.

Suddenly, there were cavalry chasing behind them, and the yellow sand was rolling.

"Stop the caravan ahead!"

The cavalry general shouted loudly, and the caravan stopped quickly, and then the cavalry surrounded the entire caravan.

"Sir, the younger one is from Xue's Trading Company in the city. This trip is to deliver goods to Yangzhou."

The leader of the caravan is a seventh-grade martial artist, and his strength is not bad. However, this cavalry team not only has several martial arts masters, but the leading general is also a military general.

"The one being investigated is your Xue family. Your master's house has just been ransacked, harboring remnants of the previous dynasty."

The cavalry general sneered again and again, and the caravan leader's expression changed instantly. Without saying a word, he pulled out a long knife from his waist: "Everyone, get on me!"

The guards of these caravans were all loyal guards of the Xue family. None of them flinched at this moment and drew their sabers one after another.

"It's just courting death."

The cavalry general had a look of disdain on his face. He waved his spear in his hand like a silver dragon. When he took it back, the head of the man who led the caravan had already fallen to the ground.

Other cavalrymen also stabbed at them with spears. Although the guards of the Xue family also had several martial arts masters, they were still one level behind the cavalrymen.

"I want to see who the Xue family sent away this time!" Ignoring the guards of the Xue family, the cavalry general fired his spear with a roar, directly piercing one of the several cargo boxes in the convoy.

Snapped!
The lids of the two cargo boxes in the middle were pushed open, and two young figures jumped out.

"Hey, it looks like the young lady from a certain family."

There was a look of satisfaction on the cavalry general's face, especially when it fell on the woman, and there was even more greedy desire in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu, you run first, I'll drag him."

Qi Xue pulled out her long sword. This time, the royal family suddenly suffered a big change. Her uncle was a general and loyal to the royal family, but he was killed by a traitor.

When these rebels entered the capital, they went to great lengths to hunt down the descendants of loyal ministers like my uncle.

Now Xiaoyu was the only one left in her uncle's family, and she wanted to let Xiaoyu escape even if she risked her own death.

"No one can escape. I will take your beauty, and I will also take this boy's head."

The cavalry general jumped up from his horse, and pounced on Qi Xue with his hands like eagle claws. Qi Xue stabbed out with his long sword, but the opponent only slapped her with a claw. The force of the sword's back shock made her jaw hurt, and she loosened her fingers. The long sword was shot and flew away.

Qi Xue turned pale and was about to retreat, but the opponent's claws locked directly at her throat.

The cavalry general had a look of greed on his face, this woman would soon be his.

call out!
A white light flashed past, and Qi Xue saw it pass through the eyebrows of the man in front of her.

boom!
The next moment the cavalry general fell to the ground, with a greedy expression on his face until he died.

"Miss Qi, long time no see, what's going on?"

Listening to the voice, Qi Xue looked to the left. In the forest, a young figure came out.

The face was somewhat familiar, and the voice was also somewhat familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere, but she didn't recognize him.

"Miss Qi doesn't recognize me anymore, Ji Yang."

Chu Ning looked at Qi Xue with a smile. He did not expect that he would meet Qi Xue by such a coincidence just before he arrived in the capital.

The reason why he came out of the mountain forest on one side was because he did not take the normal official road. If he had taken the official road, it would have taken two days to walk from Raozhou to the capital, even if he was a master.

When climbing mountains or wading in water, the main thing is to keep the shortest straight line distance between two points.

"Are you Ji Yang?"

Qi Xue was a little in disbelief, but as Chu Ning said this, the Ji Yang in her mind and the person in front of her seemed to really overlap.

The difference is that now his posture is taller and his face is much more handsome.

"Well, Ji Yang is my nickname, and my real name is Chu Ning."

"How can you still have a nickname like this?" Qi Xue was a little surprised. In addition, she seemed to have heard the name "Chun Ning" somewhere, but she just couldn't remember it.

"Sister, when dad and the others talked about the person who was wanted by Wushuang's sect, it seemed that his name was Chu Ning." Qi Xue's cousin Feng Yu reminded him in a low voice.

"Yes, I remembered."

Qi Xue looked at Chu Ning dumbfounded. After her cousin reminded her, she knew what was going on.

Chu Ning was wanted by Wushuangmen and went to the border army under the alias Ji Yang.

"Mr. Chu, you really know how to joke."

"Wouldn't this relieve the solemn atmosphere at the scene?"

At this moment, the cavalry and the Xue family guards had stopped fighting, and everyone's eyes fell on Chu Ning. The Xue family guards' eyes were excited and full of hope, while the eyes of the cavalry were full of fear.

"Miss Qi, where is Zhao Qin?"

"It should still be in the capital, I'm not sure."

Qi Xue's pretty face darkened when she mentioned Zhao Qin. She had a good impression of Zhao Qin. Zhao Qin came to see her the day before the capital was captured, but she refused to see Zhao Qin because she didn't want to implicate Zhao Qin.

The war situation has been decided. His uncle's family will be purged, and he cannot escape. If he contacts Zhao Qin too much at this time, he will only involve Zhao Qin.

Chu Ning had already understood the answer from Qi Xue's expression.

They didn't talk any more, but watched Qi Xue and the others disappear into the depths of the official road, and continued walking towards the gate of the capital.

……

……

Daliang Palace.

Huang Zhongtai looked gloomy and stared at the subordinates in front of him: "There is no news from the two elders yet?"

"Not yet...not yet."

"Use flying pigeons to inform the people closest to Raozhou and let them inquire about the situation in Raozhou City."

"Yes."

The subordinates left, and Huang Zhongtai stood on the steps in front of the main hall with a gloomy expression.

"Zhongtai, don't think so much. Even if Chu Ning is really a master, he is still practicing the Tiancan technique. Now that we have obtained the royal treasure house, we can use those spiritual stones to break through to the master level."

An old man did not know when he appeared behind Huang Zhongtai.

"Great Elder, I'm just worried that if this is the case, people like Jiuxuan Pavilion will have other ideas."

Huang Zhongtai did not look back. He had absolute trust in the old man behind him. His trust was not because the old man was loyal to him, but because the old man was loyal to the Huang family.

He is now leading the Huang family towards glory. The two of them have the same goal, and the old man will not betray him.

"When your enthronement ceremony is over tomorrow, I will go to Raozhou in person."

"What if Chu Ning appears at the enthronement ceremony?"

Huang Zhongtai's rhetorical question made the old man silent for a moment. This was indeed a difficult question.

The only ones who can use this matter are the Huang family, unless he keeps an eye on it personally, but the enthronement ceremony is bustling with excitement, and it is not easy to stop a grandmaster.

"If Chu Ning shows up, I will kill him immediately."

This is the promise made by the elder of the Huang family to Huang Zhongtai. Even if it will cause dissatisfaction from other forces, as long as Chu Ning is killed, these people can only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"Great Elder, please take the trouble." Huang Zhongtai said respectfully.

"As long as you live up to the Huang family, these are nothing."

The great elder left after a while, and the housekeeper seemed to be counting the time and walked over.

"Master, it has been arranged. Jin Le has been controlled. But will Chu Ning really give up for Jin Le in the end?"

"My good nephew is not a passionate person, but he is a person with clear grudges. Jin Le had to run away because of his involvement. He already felt guilty for Jin Le, so how could he see Jin Le die in front of him? .”

Huang Zhongtai smiled, as if he was really talking about his favorite nephew.

The housekeeper saw that his master had the pearl of wisdom in his hand and calculated everything calmly. He sighed slightly in his heart. This sigh was not that he doubted the master. In the calculation of people's hearts, the master had never lost.

What he lamented was that fate played tricks on people.

Back in Daning County, Chu Ning was just a young man from a poor family, but the old man had the hatred of killing his mother and behaved as if he was walking on thin ice.

People who were in the same situation became uncle and nephew again.

If that had not happened, the uncle-nephew relationship between the master and Chu Ning would definitely be a good story in the future.

After recovering his thoughts, the housekeeper continued: "The young master entered the palace today."

When mentioning his son, Huang Zhongtai narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking: "Don't he not want to enter the palace?"

"Perhaps the young master has figured it out. If you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, the young master will become the prince."

"Don't worry about him, just let him stay in the palace."
