"It's time to eat!" Yushi Huo Huai walked to the prison car and looked at a prisoner inside who had his hands and feet chained and his head fixed through the fence as thick as a bowl, and said: "Qin Kai, if you don't

If you are messing around, I will untie these chains so that you can loosen them faster. After walking so far, you also know that you will not die, so why do you need to do more useless work and suffer more torture? "

In the cage, Qin Kai, with his hair disheveled and blood stains on his face and head, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Huo Huai sighed, waved his hand, and two followers walked over. One of them pinched Huo Huai's mouth open, and the other poured the soup from the bowl into Qin Kai's mouth. At this time, Qin Kai struggled desperately.

He stood up and tried his best to spit out what was in his mouth, but the two people serving him were both old criminals from Yushitai and were extremely experienced. Qin Kai had no room for resistance at all and swallowed involuntarily.

Holding food.

In order to prevent Qin Kai from starving to death, Huo Huai worked hard. Qin Kai, a prisoner, had much better food than Qin Kai, a seventh-grade censor. They made porridge that was easy to swallow with good food.

It was poured into him.

Huo Huai, who watched the two criminals force-feeding Qin Kai and stuffing Qin Kai's mouth again, shook his head, walked to the side and sat down, took the bowl of porridge handed over by his subordinates, and ate it with a steamed bun.

Got up.

During the years when Huo Huai was the censor, he was also ordered to escort many prisoners back to the capital. However, this time was the most difficult one for him, and it was also one that he would never forget in his life.

This ruthless man is so special.

Because he has been begging for death.

Moreover, he resorted to all possible means to seek death. If Huo Huai had not received special instructions before leaving, reminding him to be careful that these civil servants who came out of the army were all very violent, and to be careful of their suicide.

, Qin Kai is already a dead man now.

If someone dies in his hands, his position as an official will be over.

Huo Huai is still young, just in his early thirties, and has a bright future ahead of him!

He had no choice but to fix Qin Kai in the prison car like this. He had to force-feed him food because Qin Kai was on hunger strike. His mouth had to be gagged because this guy knew how to chew his tongue, and his head had to be fixed because he would bang his head against the prison car. Huo Huai had never done that.

I have never encountered such a difficult guy to deal with, especially this guy is a civil servant.

Generally speaking, if a person wishes to die and continues to be stopped by others, as the number of failures increases, the will to die will weaken. But the person in front of me obviously does not belong to this type of person. This journey has been completed almost half the time.

It's been months and this guy has never given up.

There are still five days left, and you can enter the capital in five days. Once you enter the capital and hand over the person to the Taiwan Prison, you will be able to do your job. This time you go back, you must have a good rest.

This trip was really exciting.

It seems that King Jing really has a problem!

Looking at Qin Kai in the cage, Huo Huai thought: If there were no problems and a clear conscience, why would this guy want to commit suicide as soon as he saw the people from Yushitai in front of him?

Originally, the young Huo Huai had always admired King Jing, but after this trip, his idea was shaken.

This must be such a big deal that the imperial court doesn't dare to know about it, so that this person wants to die so much!

As a young censor who is still hot-blooded, Huo Huai naturally doesn't know much about some things. And since he has never done any practical work, he naturally doesn't know how difficult it is to accomplish something. Especially when King Jing is in Hebei

Over the past many years, we have accomplished many things that were beyond the reach of our predecessors, but behind these achievements, there are naturally many things that are not appreciated by outsiders.

Everything has two sides, light and dark, and a lot of gray areas.

If you want to accomplish something, you will encounter some taboos accidentally.

And these things must be concealed. Once revealed, there will be an uproar.

Of course Huo Huai cannot understand these things. In his heart, black is black and white is white.

Perhaps one day, when he becomes a grassroots official, an official who directly does things, he will be able to appreciate the difficulty of accomplishing something.

But now, he is a censor and a professional official who finds faults. He does not need to experience these things, he only needs to find out the faults of officials.

Qin Kai is different. He knows that the current leader of Yushitai is Cui Ang.

He knew that Cui Ang and King Jing had become mortal enemies.

When Yushitai came to arrest him, he naturally wanted to open a gap from himself, and he did know too much.

He had no confidence at all to survive the torture at Yushitai.

When he was in the army, he had seen the interrogation of spies many times. Even a tough man could not bear the variety of torture instruments that made people's hair stand on end. What's more, compared to the military, the names of those in Taiwan Prison were so different.

You need to be better at things.

If he didn't die, he would definitely betray King Jing under such torture.

This is something he would rather die than do.

Therefore, even if Huo Huai threatened his family, Qin Kai was still determined to die.

Unfortunately, he did not die after all.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Bianliang, Qin Kai became more and more desperate.

If you die on the road, you can't even think of dying if you go to Taiwan Prison.

Huo Huai sat under the tea shed and looked at the surrounding environment. This is a three-way intersection, where three different paths merge into one to enter Beijing. People from different places will involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief when they arrive here and sit down.

Let's come down and have a cup of tea to relax. So although this tea shed is simple, the business is really good. It's noon now, and there are many people sitting in the shed. Some people see that there is no room to sit in the shed, so they sit outside, but most of them are

There were some hawkers doing business and a few scholars carrying book boxes.

Huo Huai looked at these people carefully.

When leaving the capital, Zhongcheng Cui Ang specifically confessed that this trip was dangerous. Although going out to arrest people was done in secret, once they were arrested, it was no longer a secret. Someone must be thinking of killing people and silencing them.

There are fifty soldiers accompanying him, two escort teams, and ten prisoners from Taiwan Prison. These people are all masters, and Zhongcheng also said that he will secretly send people to protect such a team.

If you want to kill people and silence them, you will have to hit an iron plate. If you can't kill them, they will hit you.

Along the way, Huo Huai was on guard and did not dare to relax at all. One was to prevent Qin Kai from committing suicide, and the other was to be wary of someone coming to assassinate him. He was about to set foot in Gyeonggi Province, but he didn't see anything wrong.

, it seems that even if some people have this intention, they have given up now.

As for the people he was secretly protecting, Huo Huai now had some understanding of them. They were probably a few miles away from him, and they formed a convoy of cargo transporters, with more than a dozen horses and twenty or thirty men. The leader of the group,

There is a black hemorrhoid on his face, and a long tuft of black hair on it. He has a fierce look on his face. How does he look like a caravan man?

Spring afternoon is the most sleepy time. After lunch, I feel even more sleepy.

The soldiers were sitting on the ground, pecking at the rice one by one. Even Huo Huai himself felt that his head was a little heavy and his upper and lower eyelids were a little twitchy. On the other hand, the prisoners from the Taiwan Prison were surrounded by the prison car, and they were all in high spirits.

Huo Huai, who was in a daze, suddenly saw a scholar sitting on a bench drinking tea outside the tea shed stand up, and then the man pulled out a knife from the tall book box placed at his feet.

With a swish, Huo Huai's sweat broke out immediately, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"Assassin!" he shouted.

As the scholar drew his knife, inside and outside the tea shed, the vendors took out their big knives from the goods, the burden bearers shook off their burdens and swung their poles, and the farmers, barefoot and carrying dung forks in their hands, rushed towards

Prison van.

Like being crushed, the soldiers on the outside were quickly broken through by these assassins, and then they started fighting with the prisoners outside the prison car.

The criminals were all masters, and for a moment, the assassins were unable to do anything.

Qin Kai, who was in the prison car, became excited. He stared at the fighting outside with his eyes wide open and kept twisting his body.

A soldier raised his hand and fired a loud arrow, calling for help from the reinforcements behind him.

Huo Huai stumbled around a big bend, ran to the prison car from the back, climbed up, holding a knife he picked up on the road, but his hand was used to holding pens, so he was holding a knife at the moment.

Quite a bit at a loss.

The higher you stand, the farther you can see and the more clearly you can see.

Huo Huai was a little anxious.

Xing Ming is a master, but these assassins are obviously more skilled. At this moment, three of the ten Xing Ming have been killed, but their opponents were not harmed at all.

The sound of horse hooves came from behind.

Huo Huai saw nearly twenty riders galloping towards them. The man at the head was the guy with a long tuft of black hair on his face.

But almost at the same time, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in front, and Huo Huai saw nearly thirty horses galloping towards him.

Where are these people?

Huo Huai was a little confused.

What happened next made him heartbroken.

Because the more than thirty riders coming from the front were all wearing black clothes and covering their faces.

It is certainly not the right way to come with a mask and a knife in broad daylight.

With the sound of horse hooves, half of the masked cavalry coming from the front bypassed the prison car and rushed towards the cavalry coming from behind. The other half went straight towards the soldiers surrounding the prison car.

A low killing sound rang out from the mouths of the masked cavalry. They raised their sabers high, their bodies rising and falling with the bumps of the horses' running. The two sides were in close combat, and the sound of sabers piercing flesh kept ringing out.

Huo Huai saw helplessly that the reinforcements led by Heimao only had three or four riders left after a single charge, while only three or four of the opponents fell off their horses.

Not only was Huo Huai frightened, Heimao, who came with reinforcements, was also confused.

The men he leads are all heroes in the world. They are dead soldiers trained by Cui Ang. They are extremely capable in single combat. If an ordinary person encounters them, they will die.

But today, what they encountered was no ordinary person.
