Chapter 285 [Interrogation](1/2)
At this time, the two princes were seated, with an old Jinwu captain standing beside them.
The other three school lieutenants were not idle either. One of them detained all the eunuchs from Prince Yu's palace present, including Jia Fei, who was also included in the group and was not allowed to move without permission.
Another captain in black was responsible for keeping an eye on the moon-worshiping eel on the ground covered with talismans.
The last old captain in Tsing Yi was already standing on the roof of the third floor. His closed eyes were already shining with scorching blue light. He was overlooking the entire watchtower and horse farm at his feet. He was carefully staring at the surrounding plants, trees, flowers and birds.
…
Huh?
He suddenly noticed a little sparrow standing on the ridge of the roof a few steps away from him.
The old lieutenant was a little puzzled. When he jumped on the roof, he didn't scare the sparrow away. Could it be that this little sparrow is not afraid of people?
He glanced at Cheng Yu a few more times. Finally, the little sparrow seemed to be an afterthought and jumped a few steps to the side. There was a distance between one person and one sparrow. Only then did the old captain
Turn back and continue to monitor the situation in the field below.
After a few breaths, five-colored lights flashed around the watchtower, and five more old captains came and surrounded the entire watchtower.
Cheng Yu used his magic eyes to see further away, there were more than a dozen junior captains who did not know how to escape, running towards this direction.
At this time, on the terrace of the third floor of the watchtower, several new lieutenants from the old school separated two more people to put the moon-worshiping eels back into the wooden basin and carry them down from the watchtower.
The remaining captains were dressed in red, green, yellow, white and black attire. They threw out a talisman in each of the five directions on the terrace, forming a temporary five-element array.
It's just that this small five-element formation was set within Cheng Yu's barrier, but despite this, none of the old captains present discovered that there was still a layer of barrier in the watchtower at this moment.
After the old captains set up their formation, they nodded slightly to King Jin. At the signal from King Jin, the captain in red walked to the old eunuch Cui who was unconscious on the ground. He just stretched out his hand and patted him on the cheek, and the old eunuch left leisurely.
Wake up and turn around.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the old lieutenant just reached out and patted him, but in the eyes of Cheng Yu and Jia Fei, the lieutenant poured a weak spiritual power into the old eunuch's body and used the spiritual energy contained in it to directly urge him.
Awake.
"ah……"
The old eunuch took a breath and reluctantly opened his eyes as if he hadn't woken up. It was obvious that he had just woken up and had not yet fully regained consciousness.
King Jin's face was already a little impatient, and he glanced at his old eunuch leader. The old eunuch Liu immediately took a tea cup and filled it with hot tea.
"Wow!"
"ah!"
Although the cup of hot tea was no longer brewed with boiling water, it was still scalding hot. It was poured directly on Old Eunuch Cui's face, which made him squeal immediately.
The old eunuch covered his face and rolled on the ground, but he finally woke up.
The old lieutenants on the terrace used their spiritual power and narrowed the scope of the small Five Elements Formation again, covering only the two princes and Eunuch Cui on the ground. Even Eunuch Liu next to Prince Jin was shielded and could not hear the formation at all.
A voice inside.
Even what he saw in his eyes was the scene of old eunuch Cui covering his face and rolling repeatedly on the ground.
At first, Cheng Yu and Jia Fei were just like the other mortals around them. All they saw were scenes of old eunuchs rolling back and forth on the ground.
Cheng Yu quickly realized something was wrong, and controlled his spiritual consciousness to secretly penetrate into the small Five Elements Formation. In his and Jia Fei's eyes, the scene of the two princes interrogating the old eunuch returned to real-time updates.
The old eunuch was covering half of his scalded face. He looked up and saw King Jin sitting at the top staring at him with a serious face. His eyes were filled with a fierce light. Later, he saw King Yu sitting next to him carefully.
Beside him, his expression suddenly became more complicated.
"Old Cui! You..."
King Yu wanted to ask first, but he was stopped by King Jin after he started to ask, and asked himself:
"If you tell me honestly, I can give you a good death and keep your family, Prince Yu, safe. How about that?"
Old eunuch Cui squinted his old eyes and thought for a long time, finally nodded, and at the same time sighed, bowed his hands to King Yu, and then said to King Jin:
"The assassination of this servant has absolutely nothing to do with my Highness. You, Prince Jin, are ruthless, but you still have some understanding."
"Then why did you want to assassinate my fifth brother?"
King Yu still couldn't help but ask.
"Alas! My Highness, you are a noble person, but he forces you to drink the blood of monsters. How can you still talk to him? I have been following His Highness for decades, and I know best what kind of face he has.
If he lives, none of you will survive in the end."
As Eunuch Cui spoke, he actually became more serious in his words, but King Yu frowned and asked:
"No, I remember thinking that you were the ones who found those wandering warlocks and the eel spirit that day. It was you who personally said that they had a wonderful recipe that cured your chronic illness, and you also persuaded me to give it to you.
After the essence and blood enter the body of the eel, and then eat the eel, you can prolong your life."
Upon hearing this, King Jin glanced sideways at King Yu, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not say anything, just watching how Eunuch Cui responded on the ground.
"This... ugh!"
Eunuch Cui sighed deeply when he heard this and said with a bitter face:
"The slave is also following their advice. At first, they used this method to cure the back pain that the slave had suffered for many years. They also said that it had helped the slave to extend his life for a few more years. The slave also felt that his body was indeed much better than before, and it was actually better.
He really looks like he is ten years younger.
A few days later, they said that they had found a better-quality eel and wanted to feed it to the slave, which would extend his life for another twenty or thirty years. The slave did not dare to keep it for himself, thinking of being filial to His Highness.
If your highness can also prolong your life, perhaps you can offer this method to the Holy One..."
The old eunuch said nothing at this point. The king of Jin, who was in charge, snorted coldly when he heard this:
"Hmph! If you offer it to the Holy One, your Highness will be more prominent in front of your father, right?"
After King Jin finished speaking, the old eunuch had not yet answered, but King Yu beside him hurriedly stood up and said he did not dare.
King Jin raised his hand to signal King Yu to sit down, and ordered the old eunuch to continue telling the truth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The slave then brought the wandering warlock and the eel to see His Highness. Unexpectedly, those warlocks who suffered from the plague did not know what to do after they cast spells to obtain His Highness's blood.
trace.
In the first few days, I noticed something was wrong, but I didn't dare to report it to Your Highness. Fortunately, I knew some people outside, so I secretly asked around, but the last information I got was that the group of wandering magicians had followed King Jin all the way.
I left incognito on the patrol route. At that time, I roughly guessed that this group of people probably wanted to assassinate and collect His Highness's essence and blood in order to blame the Prince Yu's palace. Therefore, while I was anxious, I also hoped that they would succeed in one fell swoop...
…”
When Eunuch Cui said this, he looked up at King Jin and saw that he still had a cold expression on his face and remained silent.
But his strange eyes and slightly raised corners of his mouth really made the old eunuch a little puzzled. He just felt inexplicably that the demeanor of Prince Jin at this moment looked a bit like His Royal Highness Prince Yu watching a play in the audience.
The appearance of time.
The old eunuch's heart froze. After hesitating for a while, he could only continue:
"Later, when I heard that the eel became a spirit, but it didn't work out, I knew I was going to be evil and wanted to confess the truth to Your Highness. It happened that Patriarch Jin from the Jinwu Guards was visiting Your Highness. After Grand Patriarch Jin left,
Later, His Highness summoned me for a secret talk, and I took the opportunity to tell the truth. Then Your Highness decided to come to Bieyuan with the whole family to relax.
Unexpectedly, the King of Jin soon followed. Just now, my slave saw that Mr. Jinwuwei had also brought the eel essence. She knew that King Jin planned to show off with my king upstairs. My servant was upstairs.
Listen, when I heard that the essence and blood were to be forced out of the eel demon's body and returned to Your Highness, I couldn't wait any longer and had to come up! Your Majesty, the eel demon has become a monster and has been stained with the demon's essence and blood.
How can I get back into your body again?"
"So...you are going to assassinate me? If I die, will your Highness be safe?"
Humph! Do you know where those wandering warlocks come from?"
When Old Eunuch Cui heard this, he snorted and said sharply:
"There are countless people in the world who want to destroy the Jin Dynasty, just like the stars in the sky, but...those magicians are not from our Prince Yu's Palace. Our Prince of Yu is so smart and intelligent, how can we do the absurd thing of giving the essence and blood to the eel spirit and then ordering it to be assassinated?"
What happened? It must be that group of wandering warlocks and monsters who put the blame on our Highness."
"Oh? There are countless people in the world who want to destroy me?"
The King of Jin's words were more like asking himself than asking questions.
"well……"
He did not get angry at this, but stood up and sighed softly, walked to the old eunuch in two steps, looked down at him and asked:
"I'll ask you again, do you have any accomplices to help you kill me?"
Eunuch Cui didn't say anything when he heard this, and just shook his head. King Jin turned his head and pointed outside the Small Five Elements Formation. The people in Prince Yu's palace who were detained in a pile asked:
"Which one of those people is your accomplice?"
Cheng Yu, who was high up, was shocked when he heard this. King Jin's words seemed to be aimed at Jia Fei.
Although Jia Fei could see inside the Five Elements Formation at this time, he could not hear the conversation between the two people inside. After receiving the message from Cheng Yu to remind him, he tried his best to pretend that it had nothing to do with him and pretended to be dumbfounded.
However, the old eunuch in the formation misunderstood and turned his attention to his adopted son, Eunuch Zheng.
"There is no one in Prince Yu's palace who is my accomplice. If you don't believe me, just send someone to search for him."
"In Prince Yu's Palace... Okay! What about the great martial arts student you brought? He is not from Prince Yu's Palace, right?"
After King Jin finished speaking, the old eunuch also looked at Jia Fei as he pointed, and then sneered:
To be continued...
