I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Having cold water poured on your face was a bad experience. Luo Qianhuai choked and coughed a few times before opening his eyes and found that he had been tied to the cross with iron ropes and could hardly move.

The wrists of both hands and feet were all exposed. Huo Yu held a dagger in his hand and was playing with it gently.

Luo Qianhuai took a closer look and found that the dagger was the one given to her by Zhang Qing.

He must have never thought that one day he would be hurt by this gift that is as sharp as clay.

"I didn't expect that Madam Luo would carry such a treasure with her." Huo Yu smiled when he saw her waking up.

"I was originally worried that ordinary knives would be too blunt and make it difficult to recover from a large wound. But it is easier to deal with it." He inserted the dagger into the wooden pillar beside him and pulled it out easily.

"The wound won't be too big, and I will give you the best medicine. Maybe there won't even be a scar."

Huo Yu approached slowly and put the dagger in front of Luo Qianhuai. His eyes were so dark that he said, "I originally wanted to finish the matter while you were unconscious so that you would suffer less."

"But who would have thought that you could actually accumulate the power of a blow, which almost messed up the entire plan."

When he said this, there was a cold look in his eyes: "So I regret it. I want you to see with your own eyes how your tendons are severed. Only in this way will you know how to be afraid."

"Huo, Mr. Huo." Luo Qianhuai resisted the growing thirst in his body and bit his lips to stay awake: "Please, don't do this. I can exchange it with you for other things, I promise. Satisfy the Lord."

Huo Yu looked at her pretending to be calm face, her lips with tooth marks and bloodstains, her hair that had been beaten into thin strands by the cold water and stuck to her ears, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised:

"But what should I do? What I want from beginning to end is just you." As he said, he had already walked to Luo Qianhuai's left side. The cold blade had just touched the skin, and he had already cut it. A thin trace of blood.

"No!" Luo Qianhuai shuddered fiercely, and his mind started to work again under the imminent threat:

"Since Mr. Huo said he likes my little girl, and my little girl is actually not indifferent to you, why do you have to do the thing of burning the harp and boiling the crane? If I cut off my little girl's tendons today, then I will have to lie in bed every day in the future. , is this what adults want to see?"

The tip of the dagger exerted force, scratching the outer layer of flesh, and then paused.

Blood trickled down, but Luo Qianhuai couldn't care less about the pain.

"To be honest, Madam Luo, if you are just an ordinary person, I don't have to be so cruel. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in saying more. Even if you have difficulty moving in the future, it will not affect Cheng Chong. I will take care of it myself. I will support you forever."

This person should have a paranoid mental disorder and should be treated with clozapine. Luo Qianhuai smiled bitterly. He felt the dagger stabbing his left wrist with force again. It was painful and scary, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Huo Yu's movements stopped.

"Does it hurt?" He looked at Luo Qianhuai and said.

Is it possible that this person still has some humanity left in him?

A strong look of pain immediately appeared on Luo Qianhuai's face, exaggerating the three points of pain into ten points.

Huo Yu knew that she was probably pretending, but she still hesitated.

"Mr. Lang." He Jian was a clear observer and would not be fooled by Luo Qianhuai's exaggerated acting skills: "If you can't do it, why not leave it to your subordinates. Since this kind of thing must be done, it must be done quickly. Less pain can also avoid long nights and many dreams." Luo Qianhuai watched the expression on Huo Yu's face helplessly, from hesitation to determination, knowing that something was wrong, and said quickly: "Sir, I know a large-scale building that no one knows about. The copper mine can produce 10,000 tons of copper every year. As long as the adults are willing to let the girl go, the girl is willing to draw the location of the mine."

Copper mines in the country are always scarce, and copper coins are never enough. He Jianben had already taken the dagger. After hearing this, he felt that it was of great importance and couldn't help turning his head to look at Huo Yu.

Huo Yu's expression was gloomy and he stared at her deeply for a while, as if he wanted to find evidence of lies on her face.

Luo Qianhuai looked back calmly with a pair of pure and innocent almond-shaped eyes.

"Ha." Huo Yu looked at it for a long time, and then sneered: "Ms. Luo is really willing to say anything in order to escape."

"Why do you say this, sir?" Luo Qianhuai said weakly: "My little girl's family are all in Changling City. Only you can control your little girl's status. There is absolutely no possibility of my little girl bullying you. Your Excellency, you can send someone to find out." , after verification, we will know the sincerity of my little girl."

Huo Yu paced back and forth in the torture chamber and asked suddenly: "You are just a boudoir woman. Your martial arts and medical practice are beyond the norm. How can you know about the unknown copper mine?"

Luo Qianhuai had already thought of a shield: "Actually, it was Zhang Jianzong who discovered it. He once fought with someone and split the stone with his sword energy, and found that there was malachite inside."

She blurted out: "I wonder if you, sir, know that this malachite is the symbol of the upper layer of a large copper mine. Finding it means there must be a copper mine. But Zhang Jianzong didn't know this. He only thought that the malachite was beautiful and tight. It was He took it back and said he wanted to make jewelry for the little girl.”

Although Huo Yu previously knew that she had a close relationship with Zhang Qing, she also asked someone to inquire about it and found out that he was her younger brother's mentor, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Only when she heard this did she realize that something was wrong. "Then Zhang Qing treats you, but..."

A shy look appeared on Luo Qianhuai's face: "Zhang Jianzong is actually my daughter's fiancée. He is stubborn and knows the skill of my daughter. It is impossible for him to die by falling off the cliff. He will definitely. Get to the bottom of it—so if you don’t want to cause endless trouble, how about you accept my daughter’s proposal?”

Huo Yu was still thinking, but He Jian found it very troublesome. It is his mission to protect Langjun, and there is no impermeable wall in this world. If you insist on dealing with Madam Luo as planned, sooner or later you will be targeted by Zhang Qing.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one wants to be an enemy of the youngest sword sect in the world.

"Mr. Lang." He hesitated and spoke: "The head of the family was still worried about the lack of copper money in the treasury a few days ago. If we can really get a copper mountain, it will really solve our urgent need. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Ms. Luo." Huo Yu also made a decision in his heart. When he raised his head and saw her, most of the sinister color in his eyes was gone: "It's not that I can't believe you. But until I find out what you said is true, I still ask Madam Luo to stay here." How's it going?"

As long as you don't use the knife, everything is easy to talk about. "I have no problem." Luo Qianhuai answered very quickly.

Huo Yu stood in front of her, stretched out his hand and lifted her chin: "Aren't you worried that after I get the mine, I will break the contract again, or even silence myself?"

How could Luo Qianhuai not be worried? Huo Yu's credibility in her eyes was already at a loss. She was just conceited and prepared to run away after the system self-checked. How could she trust him?

As for the copper mine, it didn't belong to her in the first place. If Huo Yu wanted to take it, it would be good if she really offered it to the country. If she dared to open the mine privately, she would have another handle in her hands. Maybe in the future You can also use this to blackmail the other party.
