Chapter 188 Association
However, the more fiercely they cursed in their hearts at this moment, the more miserable the torture that awaited them in the future would be.
You know, man is iron and food is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel hungry.
Even though they are professionally trained spies, they are still just ordinary people after all.
Only three days had passed, and these Tatars had been tortured to the point of almost losing half their lives. Each of them became haggard and weak.
"So, did those Tatars confess in the end?" Chu Ci asked curiously as he listened to Fifteen's detailed account of what had happened.
But as soon as he asked this question, Chu Ci suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then said: "Wait, Fifteen, when did you become so capable? You can even find out when His Royal Highness the King of Shu went to the prison and what he said in the prison?"
Faced with Chu Ci's suspicion, Fifteen remained calm and not at all flustered.
He said slowly: "Boss, even if I have that ability, I definitely don't have that kind of time."
Chu Ci looked puzzled, and Shiwu continued to explain: "This is the news that the Purple Envoy brought specially to appease your extremely strong curiosity. In this way, you can know these situations, and then you can concentrate on planting corn in peace."
Chu Ci frowned, rolled his eyes fiercely, and said unhappily: "Can this reason be any more false?"
Then he teased with a gossipy look on his face: "Fifteen, you purple-robed envoys are not going to defect to the King of Qin, are you? Aren't you embroidered-robed law enforcement officers only loyal to the emperor?"
In fact, Fifteen had already expected that Chu Ci would give rise to all kinds of associations, but he never thought it would be so destructive.
He sighed quietly in his heart, and then quickly responded with a solemn and serious look: "Boss, it's not as you think."
"Oh? Are you starting to quibble?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows.
Fifteen couldn't help but sigh even deeper, and said helplessly: "Boss, whether it's the corn or the method of making sea salt that you fooled Su Jinghua about before, it's impossible to hide it from the emperor."
"So all this is the emperor's will?" Chu Ci couldn't believe it.
Fifteen gave a positive answer: "And the emperor is looking forward to your method of making sea salt."
"The Purple Envoy has sent this information just to satisfy your extremely vigorous and exuberant curiosity. This way, you can concentrate on doing what you should do without distractions."
After hearing what Fifteen said, Chu Ci showed a speechless expression on his face.
After a long while, she said leisurely, "Fifteen, I am not curious about everything in this world. But if I just bury my head in work, it is very easy to lose my life."
As the Chinese saying goes, "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black." This is not just a saying, the Chuci only played a little pitiful role.
Fifteen automatically thought of the Fan family, who were demoted simply because of the emperor's groundless suspicion, and a deep feeling of guilt welled up in his heart.
Then he solemnly assured, "It was my fault for not considering things properly and causing you to worry."
"Don't worry, I will pay more attention to the situation in the capital in the future. I will never let such a thing happen again and I will never let you fall into such a dangerous situation."
"We will do our best to ensure your safety so that you can do what you want to do with peace of mind."
Hold on, you must hold on. These people always say that they are prone to association, but they never thought that they are no less prone to association!
Chu Ci was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter. To avoid losing composure, he hurriedly found an excuse, "I'm going to discuss some matters with Yuanniang, so you don't have to follow me."
In fact, Chu Ci was deeply afraid that his laughter would damage his image in Shiwu's heart.
However, this is the case with many things. Once you cross that certain point, they will naturally disappear.
But now that it had come to this, he told Yuanniang in vivid detail what had happened before.
Unexpectedly, it actually created a huge joke for Yuanniang.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"
Yuan Niang actually laughed for more than ten minutes before she stopped. "You came here today not just to make me happy, right? Well, I've had enough fun, let's get down to business!"
Yuan Niang actually laughed for more than ten minutes before she stopped. She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "You came here today not just to make me happy, right? Well, I've had enough fun, let's get down to business!"
Chu Ci was quite speechless, "Yuan Niang, if I say that I don't have anything important to do and I just came here to have a casual chat with you, can you believe me?"
After hearing this, Yuan Niang stared at Chu Ci for a long time before she slowly said, "Boss, are you out for some fresh air? In that case, I should be going to Houyu Village today. Why don't we go together?"
"Hou Yu Village? Do An Niang, Niu Niu and the others go back regularly now?" Chu Ci asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Hearing Chu Ci's question, Yuan Niang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her expression instantly became solemn. She frowned tightly and asked anxiously with a hint of worry: "You don't know? Didn't you ask Niuniu to tell us to go to Houyu Village regularly to collect seafood? Or did Niuniu..."
After all, what happened in Houyu Village was too sensitive, and Niu Niu had experienced such heartbreaking things.
Therefore, before Yuanniang finished speaking, Chu Ci interrupted her in a hurry, as if to avoid some bad associations that might be triggered by Yuanniang's continued speech. She quickly said, "Let's go to Houyu Village first?"
"It's useless to speculate here at this moment. Maybe we can find out the specific situation when we go there."
After saying that, Chu Ci looked at Yuan Niang seriously, as if waiting for her response.
Yuan Niang paused for a moment, a thoughtful look on her face, and then hesitantly asked, "Boss, do we need to notify the Purple Envoy before we leave?"
"Let's notify them." Yuanniang said after a slight pause, "This way, if anything happens, they can be taken care of." Chu Ci attached great importance to his life.
Zi Yi and his men arrived extremely quickly, and it was obvious that they had set out immediately after receiving the notice.
However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, all of them tacitly changed into the clothes of the Chuci Guard.
Looking at the endless escort team, Yuan Niang couldn't help but show some hesitation on her face, "In this case, will those who originally wanted to sell seafood dare to come?"
