Chapter 12 Imprisonment Four evil ones! The four ancient ferocious beasts! The most vicious and evil creature among the strange beasts in the mountains and seas. Zhao Wumian knew of course, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the Pacification Bureau even has the essence and blood of such exotic beasts?" "Have." Jiang Huan nodded first, then shook his head meaningfully: "...neither." When Zhao Wumian heard this, he roughly understood that this thing might be extremely risky! No wonder it can "convince the public", because it is very likely that no one wants it, or no one dares to want it. Yun Qi said, "Master Jiang, please stop meditating. The emperor has given me full authority to retrieve the treasure. Why don't you let me take him on a trip? Times are different now, and it's time for Captain Zhao to learn more about these secrets." "What the father-in-law said is very true."
Jiang Huan took out a token from under the table and handed it to Yun Qi: "With this token, you can enter the ninth floor of the Imperial Prison. As for whether to vaccinate, you still have to consider it. After all, they are the Four Evils. The evil spirit in their blood is too heavy. If you are not careful, you will be doomed!" "Our family understands." Yun Qi took the token, turned around, and led the way: "However, Captain Zhao is an extraordinary person, and he may be able to refine such extraordinary things. Let's wait until we see it with our own eyes before we say anything." The two men walked out of the inner hall and headed towards the back, and people along the way saluted them. Zhao Wumian followed Yun Qi, passing through the long corridor and the moon gate, and came to the "Imperial Prison" at the end of the Zhenfu Division. The Zhenfusi Prison was known as the best prison in the world. The four stone walls, the stone ground and the stone slabs on the top are all paved with the same granite. The prison was ten feet deep and never saw the sun. Even if people were not tortured, they would become weak and sick over time. There were countless guards inside and outside the prison, and the security was as strict as that of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. "Eunuch Yun." Seeing Yunqi being imprisoned, Zhou Buer, the captain on duty, hurriedly led all the captains and general flags on duty to salute respectfully. Yun Qi nodded: "How was Huang Yunxuan's interrogation?" Zhou Buer glanced at Zhao Wumian from the corner of his eye and lowered his head. "He was imprisoned last night and just committed suicide... He never confessed his other accomplices from beginning to end. According to investigation, after Hu Weiyong was beheaded yesterday, Yichun Hou complained about their old friendship. Huang Yunxuan took the initiative to share the worries of the lord and avenge his father, which led to this action..." Yun Qi turned to look at him: "Is he dead?" "..." Zhou Buer swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes... I was just about to report this to the Governor." Yun Qi looked at him deeply, said nothing, and walked down. Zhao Wumian followed him and memorized Zhou Buer's face. Huang Bin has already been punished by Lao Zhu, and this matter is set in stone and will no longer involve him, but Huang Yunxuan should not die so easily. To be able to take on such a big responsibility and give Huang Yunxuan a ride, this bastard must be in cahoots with them!
The Huaixi nobles are really omnipresent... The imperial prison is extremely deep, with nine floors. The fewer prisoners there are, and the heavier their sentences are, the deeper they are. Wherever you go, you can hear cries of injustice. Some of them were Hu Weiyong’s accomplices, some were evil cult monsters, and some were big thieves and bandits who once wreaked havoc on the local area. Yun Qi remained calm, and Zhao Wumian tried hard to adapt. When they reached the fifth floor, the dampness and coldness became heavier, and the breath Zhao Wumian exhaled turned into white mist. He had to use his internal energy to drive away the cold. Yun Qi suddenly asked, "What do you think?" Zhao Wumian asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Yun Qi smiled and said, "Of course." Zhao Wumian said: "Master Zhou is in trouble." Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you think so?" Zhao Wumian sneered: "The emperor's personal army, trying to please the nobles, isn't that courting death?" "well said!" Yun Qi clapped his hands and praised him highly: "The emperor is a man who cherishes the past. He will give Yichun Hou a way out, but he will not condone such incidents. Huang Yunxuan should not die like this, otherwise the living will have to bear the punishment he did not suffer! Captain Zhao has great ambitions, but he must take this as a warning and never disobey the emperor's orders and do unwise things." Zhao Wumian smiled and said, "I am a lowly official, but I think I still have some brains. Should I curry favor with the Marquis or with His Majesty? Do I need to choose?" "Hahaha!" Yun Qi laughed loudly. This smile was different from before. It was actually a bit arrogant and domineering. The laughter was deafening! The martial arts masters in the cells on both sides were all injured by the shock, their eardrums were torn, and they vomited blood. Everyone stared at Yun Qi, furious, but no one dared to shout at him. Zhao Wumian was shocked beyond words. I knew this eunuch was unusual, but I didn't expect he had such a completely different side. Yun Qi looked at him deeply and said, "The emperor has high hopes for Captain Zhao. I hope you will remember what I said today and keep doing so in the future. Otherwise, even the Kanglong Body will not be able to save you." Zhao Wumian said: "I will keep this in mind." "very good." Yun Qi recovered as usual, as if his arrogance just now was just an illusion, and said in a gentle voice: "The four evil ones, Qiongqi, Taotie, Hun Dun, and Taowu, are all strange beasts from the mountains and seas that are feared by the world. In addition to their innate magical powers, they are also born with a mysterious evil spirit, which is extremely ferocious! If ordinary living things get close to a hundred feet, they will be assimilated by the evil spirit and become madmen who only know how to kill. Therefore, when Qiongqi is born, good and evil are not distinguished; when Taotie walks, the world is in turmoil; when Hun Dun falls, soldiers spread all over the world; when Taowu is stubborn, disasters disrupt social order." Zhao Wumian's heart was shocked. Yun Qi said, "Under this imperial prison, there is a beast called Taotie! It is a young beast that was captured by the previous Yuan Dynasty with countless manpower and resources, and has been raised for nearly a hundred years. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the period of inspection, a group of elite warriors are selected every year to enter the ninth floor to be inoculated with Taotie's blood, but only one in ten thousand succeeds, and almost all of them have become crazy." "almost?" Zhao Wumian grasped the key point and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who succeeded?" Yun Qi smiled: "Mu Ying." It's him?
Zhao Wumian had some knowledge of Ming history and remembered clearly that Mu Ying in history was the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and was kind and filial by nature. At the age of twelve, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his battles and began his military career. Since then, he has made many military achievements. After Yunnan was pacified, he stayed in Yunnan. After him, Mu’s descendants guarded Yunnan for generations, and they lasted until the end of the Ming Dynasty! When Empress Ma died, he was so sad that he coughed up blood; when Crown Prince Zhu Biao died, he was so devastated that he fell ill. He died of illness at the age of 48. Such a loyal and righteous person can actually suppress the four evil spirits! Zhao Wumian thought it would be a brave general like Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu. Yun Qi said: "General Mu is kind-hearted like the prince. He grew up beside the emperor. The emperor and the queen love him very much and regard him as their own son. They have been looking for suitable materials for him to cultivate spirits. General Mu has not cultivated spirits, but has been practicing body cultivation to serve as the prince's shield. After the capture of Nanjing, no one expected that he would take the initiative to ask for the inoculation of Taotie's blood essence, and even suppressed the mysterious evil spirit with great willpower, successfully refined it, and obtained Taotie's magical power. Since then, his Qi refining has improved by leaps and bounds! The reason why the emperor is so stubborn and sends people in every year is because of General Mu's example. " Zhao Wumian nodded: "I see. Unfortunately, not everyone has the character and perseverance of General Mu." "That's true. But you're different." Yun Qi looked at Zhao Wumian and said, "You can instantly regain clarity under the Mantra of the fourth level peak. Your resistance to magic and your mentality are far beyond the reach of ordinary people. The emperor said that you can definitely do it, and we hope so too." As they were talking, the two had arrived at the end of the eighth floor, in front of a huge bronze door. Yun Qi placed the token in the recessed area of the door. The mechanism started, and the door slowly opened. A cold and terrifying aura rushed towards him... (End of this chapter)
