To the west of Giliyat City, an area has been opened up, and everything is strictly isolated.
When Du Wei brought Hussein here, Hussein saw that this place was a tall wall, and the soldiers guarding the outside all had serious faces and were fully armed.
When the door opened, the first person Hussein saw was Rosey!
The Holy Knight Rose who ambushed him with his troops!!
Rosse no longer had the Holy Knight armor on his body. He was wearing a white suit, but it was already stained with blood. He was tied to a pillar and his body was covered with whip marks.
Behind him, on the same dozens of pillars, there is a holy knight tied to each pillar.
When he walked into the courtyard, Du Wei's expression became very cold, and there was something cruel flowing in his eyes.
"You caught them all?" Hussein was a little surprised.
"Of course!" Du Wei nodded: "After I rescued you that day, I captured them all. A total of six hundred and twenty... I killed one hundred and forty when I captured them. The remaining ones each
Everyone’s leg was broken by me.”
Hussein was not surprised. He already knew very well that since Du Wei could defeat the angel Sphinx alone and save himself, there was only one answer: this boy's strength is now different from what it used to be.
"I want you to understand that this matter cannot be made public easily. So I asked people to capture all these bastards and secretly imprison them here." Du Wei looked at Rose tied to the pillar in the distance:
"He should be the leader of these people, right? Do you recognize him?"
"I understand." Hussein nodded.
"These guys have tough mouths. My people have been tortured here for several days. You have been in a coma these days. More than 30 people have been tortured to death. But no one is willing to speak." Du Wei frowned.
"They are holy knights." Hussein said lightly: "They have devout beliefs and are not afraid of physical torture."
"Yes. They even went on a hunger strike." Du Wei sneered: "But I won't let these guys die easily. I have people force-fed them food and water every day. But what I wonder is, why don't they directly
Suicide? Hunger strike is a very ineffective method."
Hussein glanced at Du Wei: "Because they are holy knights. According to the beliefs of holy knights, holy knights are not allowed to commit suicide. It is a huge violation of doctrine, and suicide is the most cowardly manifestation.
The soul after death cannot return to the embrace of the goddess. However... a hunger strike is not considered suicide."
"I don't care about this. I need to ask a few answers now! First, how did they know that Longbottom and his party were protecting the princess when traveling! They must have a source of information! And it must have come from Loulan City! Second...
That’s why the church suddenly wants to deal with me! I have always felt that at this stage, there is no reason for the church to suddenly cause trouble for me.”
Hussein frowned.
At this moment, Rosse, who was tied to the pillar, had already seen Hussein. His face was covered with blood. He reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Hussein, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hussein
!Kill me! You should know. We won’t answer any questions!”
Du Wei narrowed his eyes, with a cruel cold light flashing in his eyes, and slowly walked to Roset's side, looking up at Rosey who was tied to the pillar: "I remember I told you, in addition to answering me
Apart from the land issue, I don’t want to hear other sounds from your mouth.”
"Hehe...hehehe..." Rosse sneered and looked at Duwei: "Duke Tulip, we are holy knights, and holy knights will not betray their beliefs!"
Du Wei nodded: "I appreciate your strength. But I think it would be a stupid move to anger me in this situation."
Then he tilted his head and said coldly to the soldiers around him: "Cut off one of their hands for each of them!"
Without any hesitation, several soldiers immediately went down with butcher knives.
These guys were all the people Longbottom had brought back with him! During the bloody battle with these holy knights, they killed and wounded more than half of their brothers and comrades-in-arms.
Du Wei raised his head and looked at Rosse: "You should be lucky because you are the leader. So I won't hurt you first! But you'd better think carefully before you speak next time, otherwise, you will be the unlucky ones.
Subordinates!"
A scream came from behind. The right hand of a holy knight who was tied to a pillar and covered with scars was completely chopped off! As the blood was spilled, the holy knight screamed and fainted.
The Tulip family soldier next to him glanced at him, moved over, and tried his breathing: "Sir, he is dead."
Du Wei nodded: "You know how to do it."
With a trace of hatred in his eyes, the soldier raised his knife and chopped off the head of the dead holy knight, and then carried the body down.
After a while, another prisoner was brought from the cell at the back and tied to a pillar.
"You!" Rosse's eyes were filled with fire.
"Do you want to scold me?" Du Wei sneered. He leaned closer and said, "You killed more than four hundred of my loyal subordinates! I will make you pay the price! As for cruelty... hum, I don't mind being ten times crueler.
!”
Then, Du Wei said coldly to the soldier: "Watch this guy! Unless he confesses, if he dares to make a sound, even a snort, I will chop off a finger of all his subordinates! He
If you dare to say a word of nonsense, just chop off another one! Until all the fingers and toes of those guys are chopped off!"
With that said, Du Wei stretched out his finger, lightly tapped Rose who was tied to the pillar, and said coldly: "Think carefully before you speak next time."
Rosé bit his lip, which was covered in blood, and looked at Du Wei with eyes that were about to burst out of fire.
Du Wei said coldly: "Hmph, you must want to kill me now? You are like an idiot. If you have the guts to provoke me, you should be prepared for this."
After saying that, Du Wei stopped looking at him and walked over with Hussein.
In the innermost part of this quarantine area, there are cages on both sides, holding hundreds of prisoners.
When passing by here, Hussein's face was very cold.
Finally, when they came to the innermost rooms, Du Wei pointed to the room on the left: "That damn fat guy is in there! But he is being detained by me now because he violated my order."
Hussein walked to the window of that room and saw Longbottom wrapped in bandages, lying on a hard wooden bed inside, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"This is my correspondence with the Light Church." In the innermost room, Du Wei pulled out a letter from the table and threw it on the table: "The first day I came back here, I sent someone to deliver it.
I sent a letter to the Imperial Capital. I have not reported this matter to the Regent yet. Instead, I sent a letter to the Imperial Capital first, directly to the Temple of Light."
"Why?" Hussein was puzzled.
Du Wei sighed: "Hussein, because when I arrived, it was still a step too late! Do you understand? The guy named Rose, on the first day I caught him, he proudly told me that he had already
Before he met us, he had already sent someone back to the Imperial Capital to deliver a message! Do you know why he sent someone to deliver a message to the Imperial Capital?"
After a pause, Du Wei looked at Hussein: "Because of you! Because he met you! Knowing that you are still alive and still in my hands. Such a major discovery, he sent people back as soon as possible
What a pity! Unfortunately, I was not able to catch those who sent the message. Therefore, I believe that the Church of Light now knows your whereabouts and knows that you are by my side."
Du Wei frowned.
According to his guess, this incident must have happened because the Church of Light wanted to intercept the princess on the road. And in the territory of Duwei, if a princess dies and a princess is added to it, then no matter how much the regent can be trusted,
Du Wei, both publicly and privately, had to punish Du Wei.
Then, the relationship between Du Wei and the Regent will further deteriorate.
Although Du Wei couldn't figure out why the Light Church would do such a thing at such a time, after all, the old Pope was one of the few insiders. He should have known that the sinners would invade in the next two years.
Now is the time to maintain internal unity. But he actually did this!
Du Wei is lucky.
Originally, the temple thought that it would send a team of holy knights with extremely strong combat power to lurk secretly into the Desa province, led by high-ranking knights like Rosse, and even holy angels like Sphinx.
Du Wei's side was not prepared to deal with the guards escorting the princess, but it was enough.
After all, although everyone knew that Duke Tulip had a strong man like Rodriguez under his command, but according to normal practice, Du Wei would not send a saint-level strong man to do such a small thing as escorting the princess.
But as a result, what I never expected was that I would encounter Hussein, a powerful man of the holy level! As a result, Hussein held back the Sphinx, causing the situation to change.
Once this matter is exposed, the actions of the Temple of Light will definitely anger the regent!
Du Wei was quite happy to see the temple and the royal family falling out as long as Du Wei honestly wrote a letter and sent it to the palace about what happened, and at the same time handed over these captured holy knights.
If there is irrefutable evidence, then the royal family and the temple will fall out!
However, Du Wei can't do that now!
"Because of me?" Hussein looked gloomy.
"Yes, part of the reason is because of you." Du Wei admitted frankly: "You are still alive and still with me. The other party has also caught us. You should know that if it is announced, you, Husse
Because if the most wanted criminal in mainland China is protected by me, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
Then, Du Wei pointed to the letter on the table: "Open it and take a look. This is a secret reply from the Pope of the Temple of Light to me."
Hussein frowned and opened the letter, only to find that there was not a word on it, but a piece of blank paper!
"What does this mean?"
Du Wei smiled coldly: "His meaning is very simple: keep silent! I won't report them for trying to kill the princess, and they won't expose me for harboring you, the most wanted criminal in the mainland. Everyone keeps silent, so it's even."
It seems a bit unreasonable to say this. Because if the assassination of the princess in the temple is reported, the royal family will fall out with the church anyway, then Du Wei’s taking in Hussein is not a big deal, since they have already fallen out!
Du Wei originally thought the same way. In anger, he almost made the decision to openly fall out with the church.
However, at this time, an urgent letter from Philip persuaded Duwei.
"First of all, even if we report it to the regent, given Prince Chen's character, in this case, will he publicly fall out with the temple? Maybe the two sides will fall out and break up in private, but they will never go to war! The conflict between the royal family and the temple
It has been around for a long time, but the power of the temple is deeply rooted in the mainland. To eradicate a thousand-year-old religious organization, it must shake the foundation of the empire! Now is the troubled time. With Prince Chen's personality, he will definitely be extremely annoyed, but he will also be sure to do it afterwards.
Will remain silent! Because, now, there is no way to fight!
Therefore, even if both parties fall out about the princess, it will never be made public!
Secondly, if the temple wants to deal with you, it will definitely be made public about Hussein! Because this matter will not involve a real war! But it can cause you a lot of trouble. Moreover, you don’t even need to be burned.
As long as the temple asks you to hand over Hussein openly and honestly, this request is reasonable and reasonable. If you don't agree, then everyone in the world will think that you are at fault!
Therefore, although the princess matter is important and we have the handle, it is a pity that this handle is not of much use because it cannot be made public! Even if we want to make it public, the royal family will suppress it!
But regarding Hussein, the temple can make it public. When the time comes, if you are in trouble, Hussein will be in even more trouble."
Du Wei sighed: "So, this matter is a deadlock. Whether we make it public or not, the final result is the same: no one can do anything to the other."
