Lin Yi nodded subconsciously.

It probably doesn't exist, right?

But this question itself made him hesitate inexplicably.

He subconsciously added, "Now wars are happening, how can we take into account the relationship between children?"

Xia Baying smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't blame me for being straightforward. Looking across thousands of mountains is worse than being with you day and night. What you fear most is that you will have love over time."

Before Lin Yi could speak, Xia Baying said seriously: "You don't need to misunderstand. I'm not afraid that you and Bai Yuelu will fall in love with each other. Instead, I'm afraid that you will have too much affection for Xiao Shufei, and that love is stronger than Jin. If the Xiao family asks you to go back to be a son-in-law, the price is to obey the Xiao family's intentions. This is what I worry about the most."

Lin Yi felt relieved when he heard this and said, "I never succumbed to the Xiao family's intentions back then, and I don't know much about it now. Xiao Shufei also knows my temper very well, and she definitely cannot make her or her marriage a condition that the Xiao family threatens me."

"I often hear people say that the women of the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty were weak, but when you see these people in your army, and listen to the deeds of the women you mentioned, you will know that this is not the case." Xia Baying looked at Lin Yi deeply and said, "But your luck is really good. You can meet these amazing women."

Lin Yi looked at Xia Baying with a strange look, thinking that this sentence is considered to be a boastful element of Xia Baying?

...

Northern Wei, Luoyang.

Another night of horse hooves.

During these days, not only did the city guards and the imperial guards in the imperial city search through Luoyang all night, but even the remnants of the White Bone Army of Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan have been transferred to the capital, blocking the checkpoints of various roads outside the capital.

All the people and officials in the city, in the shock and incredible days, finally confirmed a fact that the eldest princess had rebelled.

The eldest princess actually colluded with the generals of the Southern Dynasty, and it is very likely that it was Lin Yi of the Tie Ce Army.

The Battle of Zhongli was a nightmare for everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Originally, the Northern Wei army won victory after the Battle of Zhongli, but after the Battle of Zhongli, it was defeated one after another. The failures on the front line caused the food prices to rise rapidly. However, for families who did not lose their close relatives, they might only be able to eat enough and would probably go hungry next. But in Luoyang, how many families lost their father, husband, and son because of this war?

For these people, it would be fine if the eldest princess rebelled, but it was Lin Yi who colluded with him... While many people were so angry that they even inevitably thought that it was because of the eldest princess Yuan Yan's betrayal that the battle of Zhongli would be defeated. Otherwise, how could the Southern Dynasties general alone and thousands of soldiers and horses be able to withstand hundreds of thousands of Northern Wei army?

They wished they could catch Yuan Yan, peel their skins, eat their flesh, and chew their bones.

However, after searching for many days, he still could not find the trace of Yuan Yan who escaped from the palace. What shocked and incredible was that General Yang Dian was not dead, but he and King Yuanying of Zhongshan suddenly entered the palace against the will of the holy, so many generals who violated the will of Yuan Yan and acted without permission were all dismissed and investigated and seized military power.

Originally, all the White Bone Army under their command were taken over by the Zhenguo Hou Cai Sheng.

Some practitioners in the White Bone Army are far more powerful than those in the City Guard Army. In the past few days, they have cooperated with the City Guard Army to capture many people in the city, but only the high-level generals in the White Bone Army know that among the many people arrested, some of them were from Yuan Yan, who were only forced to capture, but more of them were people related to the Demon Sect.

This search that made Luoyang City keep the horses hooves ringing day and night, the real person to be arrested was the people from the Demon Sect.

Those who were sure to be in charge of the Demon Sect were sent to Luoyang | Water Prison.

...

Luoyang | Deep in the water prison.

In a dark stone chamber, the dirty muddy water gathered like water from the sewer, and the rotten smell was disgusting.

An iron cage is placed in the waist-deep water.

There are dense thorns on each iron rod as thick as an arm that forms the iron cage, and these thorns all head towards the center of the iron cage.

The people in the center of the iron cage were already bloody and bloody, but under the threat of these dense thorns, the people in the center of the iron cage could only turn slightly, neither lie, sit, or even stand up straight. They could only bend slightly and stand in this iron cage.

Even if a practitioner stands in this posture for an hour, he will feel that life is worse than death. What's more, half of the body of the person standing in this cage is still in the sewage, and the true energy in her body has been squeezed out.

The person in the cage is Helan Black Cloud.

Her clothes had become fragments attached to her body, and there were few intact areas on her skin.

Under the torture of day and night, she could no longer remember how many times she had fainted. Her spirit was even a little dazed. Sometimes she even felt that she was dead.

She often fainted because of too much pain, then fell on the thorns and woke up from severe pain.

Compared to the pain of being stabbed by a sharp weapon, standing in such a posture for a long time caused the feeling of extreme soreness and numbness in her bones and meridians, which was even more unbearable.

Every time she woke up, there were always two faint gazes staring at her.

Opposite the iron cage, there is a stone platform.

There is an iron chair on the stone platform, and Xiao Donghuang sits on it.

"I really admire you."

Xiao Donghuang looked at her who woke up again and said, "No one has ever been able to hold on for twelve hours in such a thorn cage, even those ascetic monks in Mobei cannot. No matter how they reminded their body that is just a skin that has nothing to do with their spiritual will, they still cannot bear the pain in their flesh and blood. You are the only person I have seen in such a cell for more than twenty-four hours."

Helan Heiyun didn't speak.

She was no longer human, she was unable to speak, and her physical strength had long exceeded her limit, but because of the cage itself, her body seemed to be forcibly twisted into a bow, and it was the subconsciousness of the body caused by pain that made her maintain such balance. If she spoke, her body would probably not be able to maintain such a posture immediately and again have a fierce contact with the sharp thorns.

"Human life is sometimes fragile, but sometimes it is very powerful. Such torture will not die easily. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you will die at any time, but it may last for a long time. I am a little curious about how long you can last before you die."

Xiao Donghuang looked at her with a cold expression and continued quietly: "But what are you insisting on? You are from the Demon Sect. You are about the Demon Sect, just like Yuan Yan, and the Demon Sect's news comes from you. Of course, you should know how crazy I am. You should know that I can torture a person for several months."

"These twenty or so hours are probably very long for you, but you just don't even want to commit suicide at once."

Xiao Donghuang looked at her eyes and suddenly started to smile cruelly.

It is indeed crazy that he can describe himself with words like crazy.

"This means... you always believe that the Demon Sect will come to save you, and will use more cruel means to deal with me and avenge you. The more you endure, the happier you will be when you look at me."

"It's just a pity that he is also a person who uses any means to achieve his goals. No one can be sacrificed."

"I'm torturing you here, the news is not blocked. With his ability, he should easily know what I tortured you every day."

"But I can bet with you... I bet he will never take the risk of saving you."

Listening to Xiao Donghuang's words, Helan Heiyunli laughed.

"Okay, I'll bet with you."
