There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 152 Let me come

When everyone was stunned, Nangong Kui bowed again and said:
"I am ashamed of my humble position. I tortured the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom for a whole night. All kinds of torture instruments were used, but this person's will is unusually firm..."

"After a whole night, the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom was already dying. Therefore, he did not dare to use torture instruments anymore, lest he accidentally injure his life and lose the only clue to the hiding place of the [-] Liao army!"

"Your Highness, you are humble and incompetent, please punish me!"

"..."

Nangong Kui's cold but low-emotion words brought everyone back to reality.

Princess Lanling paused, and although her face looked ugly, she still said:

"What are you guilty of? Get up. I still have confidence in your ability. The secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom can withstand all your instruments of torture, which is really beyond my expectation."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Nangong Kui stood up.

At this time, Wang Sima came out and said:

"This matter is indeed beyond the expectations of the officials. The secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom was able to withstand all the torture instruments used by the three arrests. Even if he was dying, he still refused to speak..."

"Yes, if this happens, no one in the world will be able to pry open the mouth of the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy."

"If we can't pry his mouth open, we can't know where the [-] Liao troops are hiding. What can we do?"

"Unless we deal with those 1 people, Her Royal Highness the Princess and I will not be able to return to the Capital of Gods..."

"We're fine, Your Highness the Princess... I'm afraid she will be pointed at by the officials..."

"Eh……"

"..."

The subordinate officials discussed for a while, shook their heads and sighed, and finally returned to their original positions silently. The tent was surprisingly quiet for a while.

Su Xian stood at the back, watching and caring.

He didn't intend to get involved in any affairs, and the kind words from Zhou Ji's Office were still in his ears.

However, regarding this matter, he couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

The prisoner was unwilling to confess, and even after enduring all kinds of torture at the hands of the prison chief, he still refused to let go...

You know, ancient torture was anti-human, and it was the torture of three arrests by the prison chief... I guess the Liao secret envoy is no longer a human being, right?

Well, having said that, is there a way to make a prisoner with such a strong willpower relent?
Su Xian couldn't help but fell into deep thought...

The big tent continued to be quiet.

All the officials lowered their heads.

Princess Lanling nodded slightly.

Nangong Kui is tall and tall, and this failure does not seem to have dampened his confidence.

Suddenly, Princess Lanling raised her eyes, looked at Wang Sima and asked:
"Is there anything Wang Sima can do?"

Wang Sima lowered his head.

Princess Lanling looked at Wang You again.

Before he even asked, Wang You had already nodded.

Princess Lanling's face remained ugly, but she did not give up and turned her eyes to discuss joining the military.

It is true that solving this problem for Her Royal Highness can eliminate the gap between him and the princess, but... the consultation finally bowed its head unwillingly.

Unwilling to give up, Princess Lanling looked at the chief clerk, literature, Zhou Ji office and others with questioning eyes.

But without exception, these people either said "ashamed" or bowed their heads and remained silent...

It's finally my turn... Su Xian, who was standing at the back, couldn't help but straighten his back, preparing for Princess Lanling's first inquiry.

He has thought of a way.

There is a high probability that this method will work.

Although Zhou Ji's good words are still in his ears, he does not intend to take the initiative to participate in any affairs.

But if the princess takes the initiative to ask, it seems difficult to evade.

It's hard to say that Su Xian will be ready to solve this problem for Princess Lanling.

Well, if I help the princess solve the problem, it will definitely intensify the conflict with the consultation!But he can also gain the appreciation of the princess, and maybe he can gain a foothold in the princess's house through this matter... These thoughts flashed through Su Xian's mind.

Su Xian, who was getting ready, looked at Princess Lanling sitting on the handsome chair in the distance, waiting for her "pity".

however--

After Princess Lanling looked at Zhou Ji's office in front of Su Xian, she withdrew her eyes and sat there with her head on her forehead... She didn't even look at Su Xian!
This……

Su Xian suddenly froze on the spot.

Princess Lanling forgot about him?

Or do you think you don’t need to ask his opinion at all?

No matter what the reason was, Su Xian felt uncomfortable in his heart at this moment... He was so handsome, he was so outstanding, but he was directly ignored by Princess Lanling!
He felt that his self-esteem had been hurt ten thousand points.

At this time, Princess Lanling finished holding her forehead and waved her hand with a slightly tired voice: "That's it, let's leave it like this for now. This matter should be discussed in the long term."

Is this the end of the meeting?

A group of subordinate officers and a group of generals watching the excitement stood up and bowed:
"The subordinates (lower officials) will take their leave."

After the ceremony, these people turned around and walked away...

Su Xian made a quick decision, walked out of the queue quickly, and shouted:

"His Royal Highness, I have a solution!"

His words seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet tent.

Princess Lanling paused suddenly and raised her eyes to look at Su Xian. That look... seemed to be wondering: "Huh? Who is this person?"

The subordinate officers and generals who turned around and stepped forward immediately froze in place, looking up at Su Xian who looked slightly excited, with different expressions on their faces.

Among them, the one with the biggest reaction was the Zhou Ji room.

Because he was standing in front of Su Xian, he hurriedly reached out to pull Su Xian... but it was already too late.

In short, everyone in the entire tent was shocked by Su Xian's loud shout.

By the way, why did Su Xian take the initiative to stand up?

Not to show that he is handsome.

It's not to show his excellence.

It’s because of the idea of ​​“standing firm”.

It is true that through the two previous achievements, he received generous rewards, not to mention gold and silver, the rewards of becoming a Jinshi and offering wine to Xibu made him extremely excited.

But it seems...that's all.

Princess Lanling didn't pay enough attention to him.

For Su Xian, who had made up his mind to hold the princess's thigh tightly, this was imperfect and unsafe. He had to hold her a little tighter, a little tighter.

The current matter is an excellent opportunity.

For Su Xian who lacks a sense of "security", this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Based on this, he stood up without hesitation.

Your Royal Highness, the official can relieve your worries, let the official help you... This is Su Xian's true thought.

Once again, the big tent fell into silence.

Before Princess Lanling could speak, Su Xian, who had a natural conflict with Su Xian, immediately pointed at Su Xian and scolded:

"You? Have a way?"

"I think you are trying to impress people!"

"Not even the three heads of the prison department can pry open the mouth of the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom. What virtue and ability do you have, how dare you speak so brazenly?"

"..."

As soon as the arbitrary words fell, the literary officer immediately jumped out and cursed:

"Hehe, you want to show off, and you don't even know what time it is."

"This matter is extremely involved. Not to mention that I, Ran Yi, Wang Sima and others have no way to do it. Even the three heads of the Prison Department have exhausted torture and can't get the Liao secret envoy to speak."

"And what are you?"

"You are only twenty years old and still young. Fortunately, you were promoted to a seventh-grade official by Her Highness the Princess. How dare you be so presumptuous?"

"You don't have a place to talk here, why don't you get out of here quickly?!"

"..."
