Jinghong Tower

Chapter 322: Living Upright (Two Chapters in One)

When Wang Hao heard the news, he thought his men had made a mistake.

Nong Liu Niang was locked in a dungeon by him. It was a dungeon!
If it weren't for King Gui's unsatisfactory son who couldn't bear the torture, he would never have imagined that there would be a dungeon under Xiaoyao Tower.

Xiaoyao Tower, as the name suggests, is the place where King Gui went to have fun.

In the center of the first floor is the stage, with a finely carved hollow pillar on each side.

The actors sang on the stage, and the sound of the music spread into the four pillars, and then spread to every corner from the four pillars.

The second floor is a spacious hall. The ground is paved with jade. The jade is polished as smooth as a mirror. The beauties step on it with bare feet. The snow-white jade feet and the crystal jade complement each other. The beauties are like jade, dancing gracefully. Just watch. One glance and he was already drunk.

Several precious white tiger skins were spread in the middle of the third floor. King Gui let the women lie naked on them. It is said that King Gui liked to eat freshly cooked human flesh and enjoy the spring scenery in the room.

Wang Hao had just succeeded and didn't dare to be arrogant outside, but now this is his palace, this is his Xiaoyao Tower, so soon after Wang Hao moved in, he imitated King Gui and felt comfortable in Xiaoyao Tower.

But before he was half free, Nong Liu Niang rushed in with a knife.

At first he thought that Nong Liu Niang was dissatisfied with his playing with things, but soon he understood that Nong Liu Niang knew about his proposal of marriage to the Zhang family.

He explained to Nong Liu Niang, but Nong Liu Niang didn't listen at all and put him in the dungeon without saying a word.

That's his shame!

Marrying Nong Liu Niang was his first shame, and being imprisoned in the dungeon by Nong Liu Niang was his second shame.

The shame that Nong Liu Niang added to him didn't stop there. Nong Liu Niang killed his own mother and younger brother!

In order to avenge his shame, he waited for a long time, and he paid too much price. He was almost ruined, but the day finally came, and he imprisoned Nong Liu Niang in the dungeon.

He won't let her die, he will torture her slowly, he will make her life worse than death.

But what about people? Where have they gone?

He hasn't had enough fun yet, Nong Liu Niang, that bitch, where is she?
Hearing that something happened in front of her, Queen Zhang struggled to get up, ignoring the maid's mother-in-law's obstruction, and asked Nanny Zhang to help her over.

She was fine, she was just drugged. Of course, she didn't know it was drug. Except for Granny Zhang and the two maids, everyone, including the doctor, thought she was frightened after smelling the smoke. To.

Now that she woke up, her feet were still a little weak, but she couldn't wait, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

That day, Wang Hao came to her yard for the first time. He smelled of alcohol and made her want to vomit.

Wang Hao hugged her. When she was struggling, Wang Hao shouted to her like crazy: "You also look down on me, don't you? The last person who looked down on me has been put into the dungeon by me, don't you?" Want to learn from her?"

She was shocked. Although they were not loving, they had been a couple for three or four years, and she knew who the person Wang Hao said was looking down on him.

It’s Nong Liu Niang!

When she first married Wang Hao, Wang Hao often stayed at her place in order to promote her.

Nong Liu Niang was also there at that time, and they were both called the Second Queen.

At night, she was often awakened by Wang Hao's sleep talking. Wang Hao cursed Nong Liu Niang over and over again in his dreams. He hated and feared Nong Liu Niang.

Queen Zhang also learned from Wang Hao's sleep talk that Wang Hao had been drugging Nong Liu Niang. He would not let Nong Liu Niang get pregnant because he did not want a child with Dong blood.

But he only dared to administer the medicine, and he did not dare to resist Nong Liu Niang.

This situation continued until Nong Liu Niang left the palace.

Nong Liu Niang, what a powerful woman, was imprisoned in a dungeon by Wang Hao.

Now that Queen Zhang learned that Nong Liu Niang had escaped, the first thing she thought of was not how Nong Liu Niang escaped, but she wanted to see how angry and furious Wang Hao was at this moment.

Haha, how ridiculous, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

Queen Zhang walked outside the door of Xiaoyao Tower. The guards did not dare to stop her, but Queen Zhang did not go in either.

Through a door, she could hear banging sounds inside. Was the man angry or breaking things?
interesting.

Everything here was left by King Gui, not Wang Hao's money, so I don't feel bad if it gets smashed.

Queen Zhang knew how lonely and stingy this man was.

He came from a humble background and had a poor family. With the efforts of the whole village, he became a Jinshi, but was sent to a barbarian land to be a minor official. Not only was he suppressed by the superior officials, but he was also despised by the Dong people. His meager salary was not enough to support his family.

At that time, Wang Hao was not even worthy of carrying the Zhang family's daughter's shoes.

That's Nong Liu Niang, an innocent and simple Dong girl who grew up among mountains and rivers and was full of curiosity about the Han people. It is said that Wang Hao used a few pebbles to draw landscape figures and easily captured the heart of the Dong girl.

With a generous dowry, Nong Liu Niang married Wang Hao, a small Han official, as the daughter of the cave owner.

The King of Gui paid heavy taxes, and Wang Hao, a minor official, was punished by his superior because he failed to meet the tax quota. Nong Liu Niang felt sorry for him. In a rage, she first killed Wang Hao's superior, and then led people into the palace of Gui and killed him. King Gui, give this palace to Wang Hao.

From now on, in this Gui land, you are the greatest king, and no one dares to bully you.

Queen Zhang smiled, and she didn't know whether she was laughing at Nong Liu Niang or herself.

The sound of smashing inside continued. Wang Hao was like a madman, staring with a pair of red eyes that were bleeding, smashing the beautiful stage to pieces.

"Nong Liu Niang, if you have the ability, don't let me find you, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"

Wang Hao's hoarse shouts came from inside, and Queen Zhang's smile became even more wanton.

Nanny Zhang was a little scared. She had never seen Queen Zhang like this before.

"Queen, let's go back and let the king see what's wrong."

Queen Zhang glanced at Nanny Zhang, with deep meaning in her eyes, and Nanny Zhang's smile froze on her face.

Does the queen know what happened last night?

The next moment, Queen Zhang put her hand on her arm: "Go back, it's boring, it's not interesting at all, it's better to faint."

She only tasted the bowl of bird's nest that Aunt Zhang brought to her. She felt something was wrong after just one sip, but she still drank it. She knew that Aunt Zhang didn't dare to kill her. At most, she was just using her for convenience. As for The reason, what else could it be, must be Nanny Zhang’s unfulfilled son.

It's just that she didn't expect that the convenience she made would actually be given to Nong Liu Niang.

That's fine. Who asked her to snatch Nong Liu Niang's husband?

But that's not what she wanted to rob. She was just a woman raised in a boudoir. She didn't know what Wang Hao looked like until the wedding ceremony.

Queen Zhang smiled bitterly and patted Nanny Zhang on the arm: "Nanny, let's go to the small Buddhist hall and ask for the blessings of Bodhisattva."

Queen Zhang did not say the rest of the words because she did not know what to ask for the Bodhisattva's blessing.

Bless the family who sent her into the pit of fire?

Or bless the beast in Xiaoyao Tower that looks like a human but not a human being?
Or to protect herself?

Forget it, she doesn't have the courage of Nong Liu Niang. She can't get out of this damned palace, and the Bodhisattva can't protect her.

She had better ask Bodhisattva to bless Nong Liu Niang, and wish Nong Liu Niang good luck and never fall into Wang Hao's hands again. This is what she owes Nong Liu Niang.

In an exquisite house in the city, Nong Liu Niang slowly opened her eyes.

She looked around at the luxurious and elegant furnishings, the soft and exquisite bed, the smoke curling from the incense burner, and the faint fragrance.

"Sixth Lady, you are finally awake!"

A familiar voice came to her ears, and Nong Liu Niang smiled. She had been waiting for this voice for a long time.

"Mu Ling, you are back."

Mu Ling burst into tears: "Sixth Lady, I arrived in the capital and saw Master He. Master He has sent someone to help you."

Nong Liu Niang nodded: "I know, I saw that sign."

Last night, the girl who broke into the dungeon waved a sign in front of her eyes. When she saw the sign, she didn't scream and allowed the girl to put her into a big black bag.

But she was too weak and fainted.

"But my slave is still late. You have suffered a lot."

Mu Ling changed Nong Liu Niang's clothes with her own hands. The clothes were stained with blood and had dried on the wound. She had to use scissors to cut it off bit by bit.

There were many wounds on the Sixth Lady's body, on her armpits, on her breasts, on her private parts, and on the soles of her feet, large and small. They were cut with a knife. They were very painful, and she was excruciatingly painful, but she could not die.

"Wang Hao, that beast, he's not a human!" Mu Ling cried loudly.

Nong Liu Niang reached out and stroked Mu Ling's hair: "Silly girl, haven't I been rescued? As long as you are alive, there is hope. Your Liu Niang will not die!"

At this time, the door curtain was lifted slightly, and a woman walked in.

Nong Liu Niang knew her. It was this girl who rescued her from the dungeon last night.

"My name is He Jiangqi, and I belong to the Ran Jun Eagle Team.

It is inconvenient for Commander Zhong to see you, so I would like to send my regards to the Sixth Lady. "

Nong Liu Niang understands.

The Han people have a lot of rules, maybe it's because of the differences between men and women.

She sat up with support and saluted He Jiangqi with cupped fists: "Nong Liu Niang of the Dong family, thank you to the head of the family, thank you to Commander Zhong, thank you to Miss Jiangqi, and thank you to all my brothers and sisters!"

He Jiangqi said: "You should lie down, recover from your injuries quickly, and regain military power as soon as possible, so that we can return to Beijing for business."

Although they were cold words, they sounded extremely warm to Nong Liu Niang's ears.

They not only rescued her, but also helped her regain military power.

Nong Liu Niang took a deep breath: "Three days, give me three days. After three days, I, Nong Liu Niang, will be a good man again!"

A dong girl can be as tender as water, and a dong girl can be as strong as a rock.

Three days later, Nong Liu Niang stood up and saw Zhong Yi for the first time.

"It turns out to be Jin Yiwei. I've heard of Jin Yiwei, but I didn't expect Master He to send Jin Yiwei to help me!"

Nong Liu Niang's voice was filled with excitement, and Zhong Yi didn't understand what was so exciting about it.

Does even Dongxi know about Jinyiwei?
"Tell me, what are your plans?" Zhong Yi went straight to the point.

Nong Liu Niang put away the smile on her face and her eyes were as dark as a cold night.

"Lend me your people. I want to avenge my father, myself, and my personal guards. They cannot die in vain."

After saying that, she raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Yi: "When you return to the capital, tell Master He Da for me that after this, I, Nongdong Liu Niang, will give her my life!"

Zhong Yi's eyes were like sharp knives, but Nong Liu Niang stepped forward without hesitation. Zhong Yi saw the glint of swords, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood in her eyes!
"The boss doesn't want your life, she wants you to live and live upright!"

Nong Liu Niang was startled, then laughed: "That's good, you stand up to the heaven and the earth!"

Jinshidong, known as the Third Cave, is the territory of Nong Laosan. The owner of Nong Laosan gave the ten caves to his ten sons, each of whom was in charge of one cave.

Now that Tan Acai's sons and daughters are all dead, the three caves allocated to them have been taken back by Nong Laosi. By the way, Nong Laosi's cave has also been snatched away. Although Nong Laosi is already a useless person, who can let him? He and Nong Liu Niang crawled out of the same mother's belly, so they deserved it.

Boss Nong was very generous to his two younger brothers. He divided the four caves he grabbed between them equally.

Therefore, Nong Laosan has been in the two new caves these days. He has no choice but to suddenly change the leader. The people of those two caves also need to be appeased.

Because of this incident, Nong Laosan has not been to the army for many days.

Originally, he wanted to go to the military camp today, but someone from his family told him that several cave people were making trouble, and they were in his base camp, Jinshi Cave.

Nong Laosan had no choice but to turn around and return to Jinshidong. He wanted to see who was causing trouble for him at this time.

The person who came to report said there were a few cave residents, but when he returned to Jinshi Cave, he realized that there were not a few at all, but dozens.

Nong Laosan was startled when he saw the leader of the cave people. This man was his wife's cousin!

"Ashu, what are you making a fuss about?"

Ashu glared at him: "What's the trouble? The people in Qingshidong have all gone to serve as officers in the army. Why do we in Jinshidong still farm and hunt? As the leader, you don't care about us. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

The Qingshidong mentioned by Ashu is the territory of Boss Nong, and Boss Nong is the big leader of Qingshidong.

Nong Laosan was startled again. Did the eldest brother let people from Qingshidong serve as officers in the army?
Why didn't he know?
Yes, he hasn't been to the military camp for many days.

No way, he's too busy these days.

The eldest brother gave all the four caves that he had snatched from the fourth brother and the others to the second brother and him, but the eldest brother didn't want any of them.

Suddenly, Nong Laosan had a bad thought in his heart.

The eldest brother is not a selfless person. Why is the eldest brother willing to leave nothing but give it all to them?

Could it be that the eldest brother wanted to use these four caves to divert his and second brother's energy and prevent them from interfering in the affairs of the army?

How is this possible?

Nong Liu Niang was tricked by him and his second brother, and the eldest brother didn't do anything!

Ashu and the cave people were noisy, but Nong Laosan couldn't listen to a word of what they said.

No, he has to go to his elder brother to find out. He is going to the military camp now.

It was getting late, and Jinshidong was more than forty miles away from the military camp. But Nong Laosan felt like he was on fire and didn't want to stay for a moment. He must see his eldest brother tonight.

It's cloudy today, with no moon or stars, and the sound of horse hooves echoes in the mountains and forests.

Nong Laosan and his two followers rode on horseback, while the remaining dozen or so followers ran to follow him. Nong Laosan was anxious to see Nong Laosan, and soon left the walking followers behind. He was surrounded only by the two relatives. Follow.
