"Which one?" Lin Hongwan frowned, looking in the direction Li Jitong pointed with a sharp gaze. His finger moved slightly, pointing to a seemingly ordinary figure in the crowd. "That one." He stuck out his chin towards Li Jitong, his face full of dissatisfaction and suspicion, "Look at his eyes, he doesn't look like a good person. He keeps sneaking glances at my dad, why doesn't he look at the emperor, but always looks at my dad? And with that kind of look, there must be something fishy!"

The hatred in Li Jitong's eyes grew wildly, spreading like weeds. He couldn't help but want to look at the man who seemed to be his enemy a few more times, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He silently aimed at the specific location in his mind, planning how to castrate first and then kill, or kill first and then castrate. However, he also knew that he had to stay calm at this moment and not let hatred blind his eyes.

At this moment, all eyes were on Emperor Jingjiang, who was listening to a soldier tearfully telling about his experience at sea. However, at this moment when everyone was paying attention, two children who were ignored were secretly communicating their opinions on this suspected enemy.

"It seems there is indeed a problem," Li Lingjue nodded in agreement, "The look in his eyes reminded me of the way Zhang Peng looked at you."

"Really? My dad didn't believe me!" Lin Hongwan said with some pride. He paused and frowned again: "But what if we guessed wrong?"

"Well...what should we do then?" Li Lingjue also fell into deep thought.

Lin Hongwan whispered, "Let's let the Jinyiwei be on guard against him first. They are all carrying guns anyway." As he spoke, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Good idea, let's act quietly." Li Lingjue agreed.

So, the two children began to act secretly from the left and right sides of Emperor Jingjiang at the same time. Like two little foxes, they shuttled through the crowd and quietly passed on the news to the Jinyiwei.

Lin Hongwan walked up to a Jinyiwei and pulled the corner of his clothes. The Jinyiwei looked down and saw that it was Lin Hongwan, so he asked quietly: "Young Master, what do you want?"

"These people might be up to something bad," Lin Hongwan whispered, "You should be careful with your gun."

Jinyiwei frowned upon hearing this, "Hiss... who told you that?"

"My father has seen through everything. Just be careful with your gun." Lin Hongwan said confidently. Although the Jinyiwei was a little confused, he immediately replaced the knife in his hand with a short gun and turned on the safety.

The Jinyiwei on the other side was also reminded by Li Lingjue. Although he was a little surprised, he still held the gun tightly according to Li Lingjue's instructions. The two children were busy shuttling around on the boat, notifying the Jinyiwei one by one to prepare in advance.

At this moment, the deck was in chaos, and all the people who fell into the water had been rescued and brought aboard. However, in this chaos, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian frowned at the same time. They noticed the unusual behavior of the two children on the deck.

"What are those two little bastards doing?" Li Dexian asked angrily. He felt uneasy as he watched the two children running around on the deck.

"Oh... I shouldn't have brought them out." Lin Xiaofeng sighed and shook his head helplessly. He knew that although these two children were smart, they often caused some unexpected troubles. He walked towards his son, intending to stop their behavior. However, just as he was about to pass by Li Jitong, Li Jitong suddenly attacked!
Li Jitong pulled out the dagger from his boots and roared, "Attack!" His voice exploded on the deck like thunder, and everyone was stunned. The dead soldiers who were resting on the deck stood up and ran towards Emperor Jingjiang at the same time! Their movements were swift and uniform, and they had obviously been carefully trained and prepared. More than 40 people attacked in coordination, and they looked terrifying in this world on the deck. However, there was only one person who was different. He rushed towards Lin Xiaofeng! The dagger with a cold light appeared in front of Lin Xiaofeng in a flash. Although Lin Xiaofeng was an old man with outstanding reaction ability, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. Before everyone could react, he shouted, "Protect the emperor!" Then he stepped back and raised his right arm, and was stabbed with a knife, and blood spurted out immediately. At this moment, Li Jitong was waving the dagger like a madman with red eyes, and wanted to send him off with another knife. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaofeng fell on his buttocks, and the second knife missed. When Li Jitong swung the third knife, the dense gunfire finally rang out! A flower of blood burst out from Li Jitong's thigh and he fell to the ground. Feeling that Li Dexian behind him seemed to have fired a gun, Lin Xiaofeng used his hands and feet, sat on the ground and hurriedly retreated, sweating profusely, but still reminded: "He is the bandit leader, spare his life!" Li Dexian fired another shot upon hearing this, directly smashing Li Jitong's right hand holding the knife. After confirming that Lin Xiaofeng was safe, he immediately ran to the side of Emperor Jingjiang. Li Jitong, who had been shot twice in a row, had no strength to stand up, but there seemed to be a force controlling him. The pain caused by the gunshot wound seemed to have been forgotten by him. He supported himself on the ground with both hands, kicked his good leg, and flew forward for a distance, then bit Lin Xiaofeng's crotch with his bloody mouth! Lin Xiaofeng was stunned! What hatred does he have against you! Everyone else is trying to assassinate the emperor, but you are the only one who wants to kill me like a mad dog? Li Jitong was like a zombie with a broken leg, constantly flopping forward, aiming his big mouth at Lin Xiaofeng's crotch and opening and closing it repeatedly, making a terrifying sound, as if he wanted to bite his teeth to pieces. Lin Xiaofeng raised his big foot and kicked him in the face, saying in shock and anger: "Kill him! Kill him quickly!" After shouting twice and seeing that no one paid attention, Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to climb up, quickly went behind Li Jitong, dragged the good leg, and turned around in place. Li Jitong seemed to have turned into a millstone and was constantly pulled by Lin Xiaofeng on the ground, screaming and howling at the same time. At this moment, the battlefield has been clearly divided into two areas, one is a one-on-one fight between Lin Xiaofeng and Li Jitong, and the other is a chaotic scene of a group fight. In this fierce battle, Emperor Jingjiang seemed unusually calm. He didn't even shake his body, but just looked at these dead men with cold eyes, as if he was evaluating their strength and intentions. He had long been unable to figure out who was responsible for the assassination. Was it premeditated or was it an accident? However, at this moment, he no longer had time to delve into these questions, because the crisis before him had not yet been resolved. The surrounding Jinyiwei immediately drew out their short guns and shot at the enemy. Half of the assassins were shot down in the first wave of attacks! The ministers huddled in a corner of the deck and dared not move forward, fearing that they would be affected. Lin Hongwan and Li Lingjue also hid in the crowd and watched the battle with excitement. They guessed right! There really was an assassin trying to assassinate the emperor! Li Dexian approached Emperor Jingjiang and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?" Emperor Jingjiang nodded, glanced around, and said in a cold voice, "The two ships are coming around. Immediately notify the people in the cabin to prepare to fire! Don't leave any alive!" His voice was full of majesty and determination, and there was no doubt about it. However, Li Dexian advised: "Father, please come with me into the cabin. It is too dangerous to stay here for long." But Emperor Jingjiang raised his hand to reject his proposal: "No need, they are just some scoundrels. I want to see where they come from. Leave two alive for interrogation." His eyes were firm and deep, as if he had seen through everything. The battle on the deck was still going on, but only a few assassins were left to fight back. Their hearts were filled with despair. They didn't expect that the other party had such a strange weapon in their hands, which made it impossible for them to attack at close range. It was a joke to want to hold the emperor hostage. It was a delusion from the beginning... If I had known this, I should have honestly followed your majesty's plan... But now everything is too late. Seeing that the few remaining companions were still falling, the Jinyiwei had begun to close the encirclement and prepare to end the battle. However, at this moment, an accident happened again! A dead soldier suddenly held a dagger upside down and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, die!" A stream of light rushed towards Emperor Jingjiang! The flying knife came too fast and too suddenly. When Li Dexian came to his senses, it had already stabbed the waist of Emperor Jingjiang. "Father! You've been stabbed!" Li Dexian shouted in horror. However, Emperor Jingjiang covered the bleeding wound and looked down, saying calmly, "Why are you shouting? It didn't hit the vital part. It's just a minor injury." His voice was still steady and powerful, as if this minor injury was not worth mentioning at all.

What do you mean by "missed the point"? Seeing the blood oozing out of Emperor Jingjiang's abdomen, Li Dexian was sweating profusely and kept urging, "Your Majesty, go to the infirmary quickly!"

"I'll be there in a moment. Go and notify the artillery first and ask them to destroy the other two ships immediately." Emperor Jingjiang stared at the death squad with a sharp gaze. Although his face was a little pale, his expression was still firm.

He was very aware of the injuries on his body. Although the flying knife was sharp, it did not hit his vital parts. When he was young, such injuries were nothing. However, the traces of time have left marks on him, and he is no longer the young and vigorous warrior.

The officials around also heard the shocking news, and they all rushed over, looking at the wound on Emperor Jingjiang's abdomen and exclaiming. For a moment, the entire bow was in chaos.

It was not until the Jinyiwei hurriedly came to report that everyone quieted down and listened attentively.

"Your Majesty, the remaining assassins have all committed suicide, leaving no one alive." The Jinyiwei's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

Death warriors... A trace of gloom flashed across the face of Emperor Jingjiang. He knew very well that it took a lot of effort and time to train a death warrior. And these death warriors were willing to sacrifice their lives to complete the mission. What kind of power could drive these people to work so hard?
"Where is Xiaofeng? Where is he?" Emperor Jingjiang came to his senses and asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, everyone looked out to look for Lin Xiaofeng. On the side of the deck, they finally found Lin Xiaofeng. He was fighting with an assassin like Kuafu. Although the assassin's hands and feet were seriously injured, he still fought back desperately, constantly looking for opportunities to bite Lin Xiaofeng's crotch.

Lin Xiaofeng was annoyed by the assassin's actions. He waved his fists wildly, raining down attacks on the assassin. However, the assassin seemed to have undergone special training and was no longer afraid of pain. He bit Lin Xiaofeng's crotch again and again, as if he wanted to kill him.

Every time the assassin's teeth came forward, Lin Xiaofeng's face always showed a bit of shame and anger. He swung his fist in revenge and hit the assassin's crotch hard. However, the assassin seemed to have no sense of pain and continued to resist stubbornly.

This scene made all the officials present unable to bear to watch. They looked at this scene with bitter faces, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: This Lin Xiaofeng's fight is really vulgar! And Lin Hongwan felt extremely ashamed and didn't know where to hide.

Emperor Jingjiang also watched this scene. The burning sensation on his face was even stronger than the wound on his abdomen. He felt so ashamed! The commander of the Jinyiwei and Marquis of Jingjiang Jianye actually fought so obscenely! Moreover, the opponent was obviously already weak, but he was still torturing him and refused to end the fight easily.

"Quick! Pull them apart!" Emperor Jingjiang urged. He really couldn't stand this farce any longer.

Two strong Jinyiwei came forward and violently pulled Lin Xiaofeng and the assassin apart. Seeing his spiritual support being taken away, the assassin instantly fell into a coma.

"Tui! Damn psychopath!" Lin Xiaofeng spat fiercely, glared at the unconscious assassin, turned and left, and before leaving he did not forget to advise, "Take him to the infirmary, tie him up and treat his injuries, this man is still useful." Although his tone was a little impatient, everyone could hear the concern in his words.

Looking at Lin Xiaofeng's departing figure, Emperor Jingjiang couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaofeng, this kid, although he looks careless at ordinary times, he is still very reliable at critical moments." Li Dexian beside him also nodded and agreed: "Yes, although the Marquis is young, he is experienced and decisive in handling affairs. He is worthy of being the person your majesty has chosen."

Emperor Jingjiang smiled but said nothing. He looked at the sea in the distance with complicated eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Meanwhile, Lin Xiaofeng had already walked into the cabin, ready to visit the injured Emperor Jingjiang.

When Lin Xiaofeng walked into the infirmary, he saw Emperor Jingjiang sitting on the hospital bed, his face pale but still majestic. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and quickly walked to the bedside and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you are injured, it is all my negligence." After that, he lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of Emperor Jingjiang. He knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. If he could have noticed the abnormality earlier or arranged more stringent security measures, perhaps such a thing would not have happened. Therefore, his heart was full of guilt and self-blame. At this moment, he was like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his parents' blame, and hoping that his parents would forgive him.

However, Emperor Jingjiang did not blame him, but comforted him: "Xiaofeng, don't blame yourself, this incident is not your fault. Those dead soldiers hid too deeply, and we didn't notice their existence. Moreover, you were able to react in time and command the Jinyiwei to counterattack, which was already very good." He patted Lin Xiaofeng on the shoulder and said, "Get up, you are my capable general, I believe you can handle the follow-up work of this matter." After listening to the words of Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng was very moved, and he became more determined to be loyal to Emperor Jingjiang and protect this land! He stood up, bowed deeply and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I will live up to your expectations!" After that, he turned and left the infirmary to deal with the follow-up matters. At this moment, the infirmary returned to peace, and only Emperor Jingjiang was lying there quietly to recuperate, looking forward to the day when he would recover soon and return to the court.

At the same time, on the other side of the cabin, Li Lingjue and Lin Hongwan also stood there silently, staring at the sea in the distance in a daze. They knew in their hearts that this incident was not over, and the real mastermind had not surfaced yet. The road ahead was still long and difficult, but they were willing to work hard for this piece of land and for the people they loved! No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, no matter how much they had to pay, they would go forward without hesitation! This is their belief and determination! It is also the belief and determination of countless warriors on this land! They use their blood and lives to protect this ancient land and the people living on it. They are the guardians of this land! It is also the pride of this land!
On the sparkling sea, the mighty ironclad ship was like a victorious eagle, splitting the waves and returning home successfully. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ship, as if it was covered with a layer of golden halo, appearing extremely sacred and solemn.

Although Emperor Jingjiang suffered some minor injuries, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle. Years of fighting on the battlefield gave him a unique understanding of injuries. Although the civil officials were worried, Emperor Jingjiang seemed calm. It was not until the Imperial Hospital sent accurate news that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, although the injury was minor, the excessive bleeding also made Emperor Jingjiang weak. He needed a long period of rest to restore his former majesty and vitality. At the same time, Lin Xiaofeng was also injured. Fortunately, he retreated in time and only injured the skin and flesh of his forearm, without hurting his bones. For him at this age, leaving a scar is not a big deal.

In the prison, Li Jitong had regained consciousness. He lay weakly on the cross, tied up and unable to move. Beside him, a Jinyiwei stood expressionlessly holding a long-handled wooden sign. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, a special gag was stuffed in his mouth. The gag was cleverly filled with a precious Chinese medicine - Ren Zhong Huang. Under the infiltration of saliva, Ren Zhong Huang gradually dissolved, bringing an indescribable bitterness to Li Jitong.

The light in the cell was dim, and the only source of light was a beam of light from the small window on the right. In this beam of light, dust was everywhere, and everything in the cell was stained with a hazy color, just like the Lin Xiaofeng effect. The surrounding Jinyiwei were strictly guarded, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Lin Xiaofeng sat across from Li Jitong with a bandage wrapped around his right arm. In front of him were various torture instruments, flashing with cold light. Li Jitong stared at him with red eyes, almost spitting out flames. He knew that the person sitting across from him must know him, but he had no impression of him.

Lin Xiaofeng observed Li Jitong's reaction slowly and came to a conclusion in his mind. He slowly said, "Tell me your name and tell me everything you know. Don't ask for trouble. I don't want to waste any more time on you."

Although Li Jitong's mouth was stuffed, he still made angry whimpers, expressing his unyielding spirit. Lin Xiaofeng stood up, walked to the table, and picked up a string of torture instruments. He introduced them with interest: "This torture instrument is called Rooster Laying Eggs. Under this punishment, the prisoner will not be seriously injured, but will be in great pain. I think this will definitely pry open your mouth."

Li Jitong looked at the string of crystal beads with horror, as if she had already felt the coming pain. However, Lin Xiaofeng was not in a hurry to interrogate, as he believed that attacking the heart was the best way. He walked slowly around the table and continued to introduce various torture instruments, as if he was telling a horror story.

Finally, Li Jitong's psychological defenses were completely broken. He struggled violently, and the iron chains on his body rattled. Lin Xiaofeng clapped his hands and called the Jinyiwei, who came in with a basket. The basket contained the "specialty" that Lin Xiaofeng brought from Sishui Port - sea urchins.

Lin Xiaofeng slowly opened a sea urchin, removed the internal organs, picked out a piece of sea urchin roe and put it in front of Li Jitong. He smiled and asked, "What do you think this sea urchin roe looks like?" The surrounding Jinyiwei were startled, they knew what was going to happen next. In front of this tacky commander, nothing was impossible.

Li Jitong was still struggling, but it was no use. Lin Xiaofeng threatened: "Boy, you don't want the sea urchin yellow to appear outside the sea urchin shell, do you?" Then he signaled the Jinyiwei to untie the restraints on Li Jitong's mouth.

The moment he untied the rope, Li Jitong's hatred burst out like a tide, and he gathered all his strength to spit at Lin Xiaofeng. However, the Jinyiwei had already prepared a large wooden board, which suddenly hit Li Jitong's face and blocked his attack.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at him coldly and said, "You were lucky last time. No one in this world has ever been able to plot against me twice!" After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the Jinyiwei to continue the execution.

Li Jitong finally passed out in great panic and pain. Lin Xiaofeng looked at the unconscious Li Jitong with disdain and scolded: "First, give him some chili oil and wait until he wakes up and feels the pain and fear before interrogating him!" After that, he turned and left, leaving the torture instruments and the unconscious Li Jitong on the ground.

In the dim prison, Li Jitong was carefully removed from the cold cross. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he fell into a deep coma. The Jinyiwei helped him take off his pants expressionlessly, preparing to carry out the next cruel punishment.

At this moment, in the corner of the prison, Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the unconscious Li Jitong with a bit of curiosity and contempt. He noticed that Li Jitong was extremely thin, as if his body had never grown since he was ten years old.

"This guy is too small." Lin Xiaofeng sneered in his heart. Thinking of how Li Jitong always attacked their most yang parts, he couldn't help but wonder if it was because he looked too masculine that caused the other party's jealousy.

While the Jinyiwei were busy preparing the funnel and chili oil, a eunuch rushed into the prison. He walked quickly to Lin Xiaofeng, bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, there is an important report from the palace."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned and took the letter from the eunuch. He quickly glanced at it and was shocked. The words "King of Hanjiang" were written on the letter. His whereabouts were finally found!
"Don't execute him yet!" Lin Xiaofeng immediately stopped the Jinyiwei's actions. He took a deep breath. Since the King of Hanjiang had already established a foothold overseas, it was not difficult to guess the identities of these assassins. Apart from the King of Hanjiang, it was almost impossible for them to be anyone else!

He ordered the Jinyiwei to tie up Li Jitong's hands and feet and transfer him to a cell for strict surveillance. When he woke up, he would interrogate him personally. Meanwhile, in the warm room of the palace, Emperor Jingjiang was lying on the couch, looking pale and weak. Wang Jingwen kept fanning him with a fan, fearing that he would get too hot. Bai Yongyuan sat beside him, quietly listening to Emperor Jingjiang's talk.

"I didn't expect it was the sixth brother that made everything clear." Emperor Jingjiang sighed. He lifted the quilt and prepared to get up, but the slight movement pulled his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

Bai Yongyuan hurried forward to support him and said with concern: "Your Majesty, be careful and try not to move."

Emperor Jingjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I am fine. I am just too old to be useful. When I was young, I could recover from this kind of injury in two days. Now it seems that time really is unforgiving."

After saying that, he leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes and breathed softly. Bai Yongyuan was speechless and could only accompany him silently.

After a while, Emperor Jingjiang suddenly laughed. Bai Yongyuan asked in confusion, "Why is your majesty laughing?"

"Old Six is ​​amazing. He started with nothing, but now he can actually compete with me." Emperor Jingjiang sighed, "I was injured in both assassination attempts. It seems that he is really skilled and will not bring shame to the royal family overseas."

Bai Yongyuan frowned, "He is a member of the royal family, but he has established his own clan overseas. This is such a perverse act! I suggest sending troops to attack him immediately!"

However, Emperor Jingjiang looked up at the ceiling without saying a word. After a long while, he said softly, "Mr. Bai, please help me draft the edict."

"Edict? What's in it?" Bai Yongyuan asked puzzledly.

"The edict of succession." Emperor Jingjiang's tone was calm and firm.

Bai Yongyuan was shocked, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" He knelt down immediately. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be so sudden. If this news spread outside, it would probably cause a great shock to the world!

Wang Jingwen stopped fanning himself, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes without warning. Emperor Jingjiang waved his hand gently to signal him to get up, "Let's talk after you finish writing."

Bai Yongyuan walked to the table with shaky legs, wrote a letter and began to write. As the wind above his head became stronger and stronger, Emperor Jingjiang said unhappily: "Stop fanning me, do you want to freeze me to death?" Wang Jingwen quickly stopped and wiped her tears, "I am afraid that Your Majesty will get hot."

After the edict was written, Bai Yongyuan walked to the front of Emperor Jingjiang dejectedly, "Your Majesty has finished writing it." Then he began to read it slowly word by word. However, his voice was trembling, "The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun proclaims: I have been on the throne for more than 40 years and it is all thanks to the silent blessing of heaven, earth and the clan society..."

After reading the edict of succession, Bai Yongyuan was already in tears. The Emperor of Jingjiang did not comfort him. He murmured with his eyes out of focus: "I worry about the world before I worry about myself, and then I enjoy myself after the world enjoys itself..." Bai Yongyuan fell to his knees and sobbed: "I am old and weak and can no longer handle the important affairs of the cabinet. I wish to retire." However, the Emperor of Jingjiang sighed and said firmly: "Lord Bai, I have not retired yet... No! Listen to me." He paused and continued: "The great threat from the West is right in front of us. I will never sit idly by. The sixth son is very ambitious. After the crown prince succeeds to the throne, I have decided to lead the army to the west to crush the church and clear the obstacles for Jingjiang." His tone was full of determination and firmness, as if he had made all preparations. Wang Jingwen grabbed his sleeve nervously and Bai Yongyuan also advised in panic: "Your Majesty, don't do that! Why do you have to lead the army in person? Just send troops to conquer! The church is not a threat to Jingjiang!" But the Emperor of Jingjiang shook his head: "Although hot weapons are heavy nowadays, the key factors of war are not only hot weapons. The west is far away and the terrain is unfamiliar... Lao Liu is extremely cunning and may not have no chance of winning. I must lead the army in person to feel at ease." His eyes flashed with a firm light as if he had seen the dawn of victory. "After my injury recovers, I will immediately organize the army and set out to conquer the west!"

Inside the cell, the dim light barely illuminated the surroundings. On the cold stone walls, there were still traces of blood from previous inmates, as if telling of the cruel history of this cell. Li Jitong slowly woke up in such a gloomy environment.

His limbs were tied tightly to a wooden table with rough hemp ropes, and he couldn't move. The first moment he woke up, Li Jitong's heart was suddenly startled, as if he was drenched in cold water. He realized that he was in danger, and what was worse was that he had no hope of escaping.

After three seconds of panic and despair, Li Jitong quickly regained his composure. He could feel that his body was still tight and strong, and he had not suffered any injuries. However, the current situation was obviously extremely bad, and he had no chance of survival.

Li Jitong lay on the wooden table and thought for a moment. He knew that he had no hope of escaping, so he gave up struggling completely. However, at this desperate moment, he still couldn't help but shout loudly: "Lin Xiaofeng! You damned bastard, kill me if you have the guts!"

His voice echoed in the cell, sounding extremely desolate and desperate.

At this moment, a mocking voice came from outside the cell door: "What are you shouting about, little carrot head."

Li Jitong realized immediately that the voice was from Lin Xiaofeng, whom he hated. He raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice. He saw Lin Xiaofeng sitting outside the prison door with a smile on his face, and a delicious snack beside him, looking extremely relaxed.

Seeing Li Jitong's angry eyes, Lin Xiaofeng smiled indifferently and continued to taunt: "Boy, I finally know why you are so perverted. Your physical condition is not too bad."

As he said this, he made a gesture that made Li Jitong furious. This gesture was extremely insulting in Country H. When Li Jitong saw it, he immediately became furious and struggled violently.

"Stop screaming. I'm already showing you a special favor by not torturing you." Lin Xiaofeng played with the teacup in his hand and said nonchalantly, "I'll give you another chance now. I hope you can cooperate with me. I won't treat you unfairly."

Li Jitong's anger subsided a little, but he still stared at Lin Xiaofeng vigilantly. He knew that this cunning enemy must have some purpose.

"What is your relationship with King Hanjiang? What is the current situation in Luxi Fort? Tell me." Lin Xiaofeng asked slowly, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

Li Jitong was shocked. He didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to know so much. He clenched his teeth tightly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead: "What did you say? If you want to kill me, just do it. Why are you talking nonsense and insulting me here?"

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile even more: "Okay, then I'll tell you some more information. You have already contacted the Razor Society, right? In fact...it's just an overseas force under my command."

Li Jitong stared at the roof with his eyes wide open. He was filled with panic and despair, as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart. The Razor Society was actually Lin Xiaofeng's man, so wouldn't it be possible that many of his father's plans would be leaked to Lin Xiaofeng in advance? What if a war breaks out in the future...
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and a tear rolled down his cheeks, filled with mixed emotions such as hatred, frustration, and worry.

Seeing that he was crying, Lin Xiaofeng continued, "How is it? Have you thought it through? Tell me everything you know. You still have a chance to survive. It can be considered as making up for your crime with merit."

However, Li Jitong still lay there without saying a word, as if she had completely given up resistance. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng decided to change the direction of the question: "Okay, let's not talk about the King of Hanjiang for now. Let's talk about the private matters between you and me."

He paused and continued, "Before on the ship, you were planning to assassinate the emperor. Why did you come alone to assassinate me? From your performance, it seems that there is some deep hatred between me and you."

Hearing this question, Li Jitong finally spoke again. His voice was a little hoarse and full of hatred: "Don't you recognize me? When I was on the ship, you locked me up in a small room and abused me... I was only eleven years old that year!"

Lin Xiaofeng frowned and lost himself in memories. He had indeed abused an eleven-year-old child, but that was during a street fight, and that child was not Li Jitong. Could it be that he remembered it wrongly?

It's not that he had never bullied children before. When he was a beggar, he had conflicts with those little beggars in order to seize territory. But he always did it openly and never bullied anyone secretly behind closed doors.

"I abused a child?" Lin Xiaofeng tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember such a thing. "Are you sure it was me?"

"Beast! Fucking beast!" Li Jitong burst into tears, tears all over his face. His spirit seemed to have been hit hard, "Back then... I just wanted that pocket watch! Why? It's just a watch! You strangled me... You hurt me so badly! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go! And your son! I will make your whole family die miserably!"

Pocket watch? A memory suddenly flashed through Lin Xiaofeng's mind. He remembered that he did have a pocket watch given by the King of Hanjiang, and he did use a child to escape. Could it be that the child was Li Jitong?
"Are you the son of King Hanjiang?" Lin Xiaofeng immediately stepped forward and asked, with a hint of surprise and guilt in his tone.

Li Jitong laughed in anger: "You finally remembered? Since you know it, it doesn't matter! My life has been ruined by you! Only one of us can survive! I will never tell you anything even if I die!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Jitong's eyes full of hatred and despair, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He did do some excessive things to Li Jitong, but the current situation was not what he wanted.

He hesitated for a moment, trying to resolve the hatred: "In fact, it was your father's fault back then. If he hadn't arrested me, wouldn't this have happened? Besides, putting aside the facts, don't you have any responsibility at all? Your father gave me the pocket watch, and if you didn't come to me for it, nothing would have happened."

Li Jitong became even more angry after hearing this: "You! Dare! To! Blame! Me?!"

Lin Xiaofeng coughed twice, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing more. He knew that it would be futile to say anything at this time, and he could only let time slowly dissolve this hatred.

The cell fell into silence again, with only Li Jitong's sobbing echoing in the air. Lin Xiaofeng looked at the child he had hurt before, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

After a long time, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I was wrong back then."

Li Jitong was stunned for a moment, as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart. He looked up at Lin Xiaofeng, and the tears in his eyes surged even more violently. He didn't know why this evil man suddenly apologized, which made the hatred and anger in his heart even more complicated and confusing.

"Who the hell asked you to apologize!" Li Jitong shouted at the top of her lungs, tears welling up in her eyes. "Do you think an apology can make up for what you did back then?!"

Lin Xiaofeng sighed, "You were just a child back then. Although you and I have different positions, I am definitely not cruel enough to kill a child." He paused and continued, "Today I saved your life, just as a debt repayment. You don't need to tell me the specific deployment of the King of Hanjiang, just answer a few harmless questions of mine."

Li Jitong still stared at Lin Xiaofeng angrily, but he also knew that he had no choice now. So he took a deep breath, tried to calm down and said, "What do you want to know?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofeng asked, "How did you invent explosives? That is the core of your divine punishment weapon. Also, how is your father's health? How many bowls of rice can he eat in one meal?"

Li Jitong was stunned when he heard these two questions. He didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to ask such questions. However, he answered truthfully: "The explosives were invented by us after many experiments and improvements. I can't tell you the specific ingredients and production methods. As for my father's health... He can eat two bowls of rice in one meal and is still healthy."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded to show his understanding: "Well, since you don't want to talk about the explosives, forget it. As for your father's health... it's really good to be able to eat two bowls of rice." He paused and continued, "In fact, I am more concerned about your connection with the Razor Society and the current situation of Luxi Fort."

Li Jitong hesitated for a moment but chose to answer truthfully: "We do have contact with the Razor Society. They are mainly responsible for purchasing supplies and transmitting information overseas. As for the current situation of Luxi Fort... I can't tell you too much, but I can tell you that we are fully prepared to deal with any possible changes." (End of this chapter)
