The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 317
Zhao Tang narrowed his eyes at Du Hongmian, and continued: "The one who escaped is called Fang Nineteen, one of the Five Dharma Kings of the Ming Sect, the Crane King?"

Du Hongmian was even more shocked, and blurted out: "How do you know?"

Zhao Tong signaled the prison head to open the gate, walked up to Du Hongmian, and smiled slightly: "This king knows a lot, you two have been to Shuibo Liangshan before, and tried a few times with the bandits on Liangshan!"

Du Hongmian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "You, you planted spies in Liangshan?"

Zhao Tang nodded with a smile: "Not too stupid, I am still puzzled, how can you, a person with low martial arts skills and reckless actions, be able to sit in the position of an undisciplined person? Now it seems that you have some brains."

Du Hongmian said bitterly: "King Dog, I never thought you would plant spies in Liangshan. Unfortunately, Song Jiang was still hesitant to make trouble. Such cowardly people will ruin Liangshan's foundation sooner or later!"

"Oh?" Zhao Tong said: "That Fang La is so bold and plotting rebellion, wouldn't he ruin the Mingjiao's foundation?"

"You!" Du Hongmian said angrily, "Did You Siniang tell you? She betrayed Shenggong, she deserves death!"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "While saying that all laws are equal and that the members of the church are all brothers and sisters, and at the same time saying that crimes should be punished with death, Fang La, the leader of the sect, is duplicity, duplicity, incompetent!"

"Mingzun is all brothers and sisters, but if you betray the Holy Cult, you will no longer be a member of the Holy Cult. Naturally, you deserve death!" Du Hongmian said angrily, "You Siniang will no longer be me if you betray the Holy Cult. Disciples of the Holy Cult!"

Zhao Tong was silent for a moment, then said: "Du Hongmian, I ask you, when Fang La plans to start an incident?"

"Bah!" Du Hongmian spat fiercely: "Dog King, don't even try to get any information from me. Whether you kill or kill me, it's up to you. If my aunt frowns, she's not a good man!"

Zhao Tong snorted: "As a member of the Ming Cult, you have a high position and an extraordinary status. Even if you are below, you should be surrounded by a group of messengers. Now you just need to tell the time when Fang La intends to start an incident, and the king will let you go immediately." Leave without revealing the matter, and you still go back to be your scattered person, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!"

Du Hongmian gritted his teeth and said: "Don't even think about it, the dog king, I would rather die than betray Mingjiao. If you want to kill, do it now!"

Zhao Tang's expression was slightly cold when he heard the words, and he looked at her for a moment: "Life and death are important matters, how can you speak lightly? I'm afraid that you want death in your heart, but in the end, life is better than death!"

Du Hongmian sneered: "Dog King, you can use whatever means you have, if your aunt frowns, you are not considered a hero!"

Zhao Tang took two steps forward, stretched out his fingers to pick up Du Hongmian's chin, and looked at it for a while: "It's not bad to be born, but it's a pity to die like this!"

Du Hongmian's eyes were full of anger, she turned her head to the side, Zhao Tun pinched her cheeks and moved over and said coldly: "This king will ask you one more question, should you say it or not? This king is not afraid to tell you that there are many methods in this world that are far away." It's more terrifying than death, and you will really die at that time!"

Du Hongmian gritted his teeth bitterly and remained silent.

Zhao Tong said slowly: "This is the military prison, there are no women among them, you say...if you strip off your clothes, tie your hands, and throw you into those men's cells, what will happen?"

Du Hongmian's eyes were burning when he heard the words, and he stared at Zhao Tun.

Zhao Tong continued: "Don't think about killing yourself by biting your tongue, it's all nonsense made up by scholars, if you can die by biting your tongue, there won't be those people who commit suicide and disembowelment, and there will be more people who can't speak to heaven and earth. Come out the silent mute!"

After finishing speaking, he slid his hand down and reached Du Hongmian's throat: "I'll give you a little more time to think about it, and I'll let you go after I told you the time of Fang La's incident. If you don't tell me..."

His hand caressed lightly, Du Hongmian's expression changed drastically immediately, but he clenched his teeth and said, "King dog, don't dream, my aunt will definitely not betray the holy religion, you can use any vicious means!"

Zhao Tong withdrew his hand, turned around and said calmly: "Take this female thief to the courtyard!"

When the people around heard this, they immediately untied Du Hongmian from the post, dragged her to the military supervisor's compound.

There are two old locust trees with crooked necks in this military supervisory compound, Zhao Tang glanced at them and said, "Hang them up!"

Zhou Chu did it himself, using a butcher's buckle, to hang Du Hongmian on the tree, with his heels off the ground and his toes slightly able to exert force. It is extremely sad for a person who is hung at such a height.

Wu Xiaodao moved a bamboo chair and a bamboo table, and after Zhao Tun sat down, the jailer made tea from somewhere and poured it for him.

Zhao Tun glanced at the outside of the gate without a trace in his eyes, and then fell silent, just drinking tea.

After the military supervisor reviewed the Xixia spies, it was renovated once, but the walls were still as high, and the fence gates were only replaced with new wood, and most of the renovations were inside the prison cells.

After a while, fine beads of sweat began to drip down Du Hongmian's forehead.

Hanging like this, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't bear it, let alone die after a long time, the process is extremely difficult.

Zhao Tun suddenly said: "Ten lashes!"

Immediately, a jailer took the long whip, but it was a thing as thick as a thumb, made of braided horsehair and tendon.

After Zhou Chu took it, he just hit it once, and Du Hongmian cried out in pain, and Du Hongmian's voice became even more miserable when he hit it again.

This kind of punishment, if you want to grit your teeth and keep your mouth shut without making a sound, it is probably impossible unless your mouth is blocked.

When the third whip came down, the skin was ripped apart, and the red clothes were torn apart, exposing the flesh inside.

Zhao Tang suddenly called a stop, and then said with a smile: "This female thief looks delicate, a few more whips may kill her, so it's better to feast her eyes on others."

Zhou Chudao: "My lord's meaning..."

Zhao Tong rubbed his chin, and said loudly: "Take off her clothes, um... it's interesting to take off one by one, Wu Xiaodao, you go!"

Wu Xiaodao was taken aback when he heard the words, although he was an imperial guard, he had never done such a thing.

He scratched his head a little, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He walked forward with difficulty, and then looked back at Zhao Tun.

Zhao Tun lowered his face and shouted: "Don't do it yet!"

Wu Xiaodao's heart trembled, he couldn't help but close his eyes, then became ruthless, stretched out his hand and pulled violently.

There was only a "stab" sound, and half of Du Hongmian's red skin was torn off immediately, not only revealing the inner skin, even the bellyband was clearly visible.

Du Hongmian let out a heart-piercing scream, and Wu Xiaodao took a step back in fright.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Tun frowned, slightly closed his eyes and listened to the movement around him.

When he came, he noticed that someone was following him, so he suspected that it was someone from Mingjiao.

The Mingjiao people want to rescue Du Hongmian, but they don't know where Du Hongmian is being held, so they can only find Du Hongmian's whereabouts by following him.

Zhao Tun followed suit, thinking that instead of actively searching for these Mingjiao people, it would be better to lure snakes out of their holes and let them come to their homes.

This is also the reason why Du Hongmian was dragged to the compound for execution.

It's just that this time, the Mingjiao's people seemed to be highly skilled in martial arts. Although he noticed someone following him on the way, he still couldn't figure out where he was hiding.

Right now, he had a vague feeling that someone was hiding outside the military supervisory compound, but he couldn't tell the exact direction.

Zhao Tong had only Zhou Chu and Wu Xiaodao as guards around him, and if he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, he couldn't call in someone to protect him, otherwise it would be like scaring the snake.

As for the military supervisor, it was a little far away from the Mabu barracks, and once something happened, they would not be able to see it from the Mabu barracks.

He can no longer send people out to deliver letters, otherwise the people sent out will definitely be robbed and killed by Mingjiao, and their lives will be lost in vain.

But he reckoned that Mingjiao would not have too many people coming, after all, this is the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, if someone gets trapped again, it will be a loss for his wife and a loss of soldiers.

At this time, Du Hongmian was still screaming miserably, and there was no movement outside the courtyard. Zhao Tang sneered in his heart, looked at Wu Xiaodao and said, "What are you waiting for, strip them all, and throw them into the men's prison!"

In fact, the prison cell of the military prison was completely empty, not even a mouse in it, but Du Hongmian didn't know it, and his eyes became a little dull for a while.

Although she is stubborn, she is not afraid of death, but there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death, especially for women.

At this moment, she wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself, regardless of what Zhao Tian said was true or false, she would try anyway, but not everyone could do this.

If it's hanging on the beam, committing suicide, or taking poison, it's just a moment and doesn't require too much trouble, but this biting of the tongue not only depends on the determination, but also depends on the teeth.

She bit her tongue a few times but didn't break her tongue, so she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and cursed weakly: "King dog, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go."

Although Wu Xiaodao couldn't bear it at the moment, he got angry after hearing this, and stretched out his hand to tear off her clothes again.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound from the gate of the military supervisor, sawdust flying, dust billowing, and then several whistling sounds.

The guard guarding the gate was immediately stunned by the sudden change, and stood there at a loss.

Zhou Chu yelled: "Be careful of enemy attacks, be careful of enemy attacks!" The few of them who were brought out from the palace had been notified by Zhao Tang in advance, knowing that someone was following them, but they didn't expect that the other party's appearance would be so violent, and they didn't care about it.

But think about it, this military supervisor is not in the city after all, so he has no scruples, and if Mingjiao wants to rob Du Hongmian, he must make a quick decision, the sooner the better.

Three people rushed in quickly from the gate, one of them was Fang Nineteen, the White-clothed Crane King.

The other two were a middle-aged man and a young man in black.

The young man in black with piercing eyes came straight towards Zhao Tun, while Fang Shijiu and the middle-aged man jumped in the direction of Du Hongmian.

The black-clothed man's figure was extremely fast, like flowing clouds and flowing water, at first he didn't see any weapon in his hand, but when he got close, he pulled out a knife from nowhere.

That knife is simple, simple, and ordinary, and the knife technique used by the man in black is also ordinary.

A straight slash, no fancy tricks, just an ordinary, ordinary slash.

It's like going up a mountain to cut firewood, thorns open the way, and swiping a knife casually.

But Zhao Tong's complexion changed. This seemingly simple cut was like an antelope's horns, and there was no flaw to follow.

This man in black has such exquisite sword skills!
The dagger in his sleeve slipped out instantly and slashed at the knife.

The man in black suddenly withdrew his sword, as if he knew that Zhao Tang's sword cut through iron like mud, and wanted to avoid its sharp edge.

Afterwards, he turned his body "di-liu-liu", came to Zhao Tun's left, and punched out at the position where Zhao Tun could not turn his sword.

Zhao Tun snorted coldly and punched him.

The two fists intersected in an instant, and there was a crisp "bang", and the expression of the man in black changed drastically!

He took a step back with a startled expression, as if he didn't expect Zhao Tun to be able to punch punches.

Zhao Tong was also puzzled at this moment, who is this Mingjiao?It was able to block his domineering punch!
You know, his punching power is more advanced now than it was during the Lantern Festival this year. Even then, Fang La couldn't catch his punch with all his strength, but the man in black in front of him actually caught it.

Although he didn't use all his strength at the moment, he was more diligent than when he was in Shangyuan. This punch was not much worse than Fang La's punch, but the opponent was able to catch it, and it seemed that he was not injured.

It's either that this person's martial arts skills are extremely high, or that Fang La concealed his strength at that time.

Or, both!

Ahead, Fang Nineteen and the middle-aged man had rushed to the locust tree.

Zhou Chu, Wu Xiaodao, and the jailers joined forces to form a long spear formation.

Long spear formation is a simple formation for simply resisting the enemy, and it is mostly used on the battlefield, but Zhao Tuo simplified it, and it can be used even with a small number of people. It can defend for a while against people with high martial arts skills.

In addition to the spear formation, there are also the sword and shield formation, and the hammer and ax formation. He briefly passed them on to the guards in the mansion.

He and Zhou Chu had already confessed that once someone attacked, they would unite with the guards to set up a spear formation, and they must not fight with the opponent without authorization.

Fang Nineteen is extremely skilled in martial arts, neither Zhou Chu nor Wu Xiaodao is an opponent, even if there are many soldiers in the military prison, it may not be able to stop him, and the opponent may have helpers, so Zhao Tian confessed early.

Fang Nineteen and the middle-aged man confronted the long spear formation, but failed in several attempts.

If it was just ordinary imperial guards who formed this formation, the martial arts of Yifang Nineteen and the middle-aged man would have been dispersed long ago, but although Zhou Chu's few martial arts are not good, they still have some fists and kicks, and they cannot fight alone. This can last for a while.

The young man in black over there retreated with a punch. Although he was shocked in his heart, he reacted very quickly, but in an instant, two short guns appeared in his hands.

This spear is about the same length as a sword, it is made of iron and has no tassels, it was originally carried behind the back, but now it is pulled out, it is a move of two dragons out to sea, stabbing at Zhao Tong.

Seeing this, Zhao Tun couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

There are two ways to break iron-like weapons, one is to hold precious weapons of the same quality, and the other is to use two-handed short weapons.

The first way probably few people can do it, there are very few treasure soldiers in the world, and few people own them, so it is impossible to easily match them.

And if the quality is similar, it is the result of both being broken, and there is no such thing as a three-hundred-round battle.

And the second way to use short arms with both hands is the only way to break the iron-cutting weapon.

Because the two-handed short soldier has one hand in each hand, the precious soldier can only cut off one of them at the same time, and the other can take advantage of the gap. If the moves are right, it might not be impossible to win.

Two-handed short soldiers generally have double knives, double swords, double hooks, double thorns, double halberds, double axes, double hammers and so on.

But if you want to destroy the iron-like mud soldiers, the most convenient thing is to use two halberds and two spears.

Because these two weapons are round rods, they are stronger than swords and more flexible than axes and hammers!
