Chapter 122
“Over here . ” Chu Yang led Tie Bu Tian’s group to the prison . After Cheng Zi Ang opened the door, Chu Yang, Tie Bu Tian and two other people, all four in total walked in . Everyone else remained outside .
It was completely different from the normal dark and damp cells that one would imagine . This place was dry and clean . In a corner, a steel pole as large as a person’s waist stood vertically . Tang Xin Sheng, in heavy chains, was hung there . When he saw Chu Yang, he unexpectedly smiled…
Being tied up like this was not any less comfortable than lying in bed at home . Tie Bu Tian’s appearance at this moment had helped him recover his original colors, a handsome thirty years old scholar .
Tie Bu Tian clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked up . His eyes coldly glared at Tang Xin Sheng without even blinking .
Tang Xin Sheng smiled calmly as if it was just another gathering at the royal court with Tie Bu Tian .
“Official Tang, what is your relationship with Diwu Qing Rou?” Tie Bu Tian slowly walked to a table in the back, and slowly sat down on one of the chairs .
Without ever asking whether the man was a spy, he went directly to asking about the relationship between Tang Xin Sheng and Diwu Qing Rou . This gave the impression that he already had fully grasped Tang Xin Sheng’s situation, and there was no need for denial!
“Your majesty’s question is a little presumptuous . ” Tang Xin Sheng laughed, “I, Tang Xin Sheng, might be a prisoner, but I am not the type that could be coerced to confess!”
“So you are really Great Zhao’s spy?” Tie Bu Tian closed his eyes .
“I do not want to admit it, but since your first bluff, I thought about playing a little dirty trick… hahaha… I have cultivated a strong state of mind, but I still hate to lose…” Tang Xin Sheng smiled comfortably, “But at this point, can I still deny it?”
Tie Bu Tian sighed and said, “Official Tang, you are a capable person and also a great tactician . I have always thought highly of you . I even thought about making you prime minister of Iron Cloud once the country is at peace… Hahaha, I had placed my hope in you . I can’t believe you fooled me for a decade…”
Tie Bu Tian’s words were very sincere… They made Tang Xin Sheng pensive for a moment as he reminisced about the cheerful days of the past between emperor and servant and said, “It’s true that your majesty treated me very well . But with two countries at war, to each his own master . I am also saddened by the whole thing . ”
Tang Xin Sheng paused a little, then smiled and said, “The truth is, when I joined Iron Cloud, your majesty was still young; you were not able to see through my cover . As you grew older, I have already created a deep impression with you; that is why I was able to live peacefully for a decade . If I joined just now, I am afraid your majesty would have discovered me immediately . ”
Then he laughed painfully, “Your majesty is clever and has a worldly state of mind… You would make a great king . Unfortunately, you were born at the wrong time, and have to go head to head with Diwu Qing Rou . No matter how good you are, you will definitely be reduced to ashes in the end . ”
“Diwu Qing Rou?” Tie Bu Tian took a deep breath . His voice was sentimental, but his eyes were sharp as he spoke, “It’s true that Diwu Qing Rou is worthy of his fame . It is because of this that I need to know everything Official Tang knows . Is that clear?”
“I will never tell . Your majesty already knows my answer beforehand . ” Tang Xin Sheng smiled warmly and continued, “Your majesty, I hope you will take into account that I have not done any great damage to Iron Cloud, and let me have some dignity in my last moments . ”
“Dignity?” Tie Bu Tian’s countenance changed . With mixed emotions, he sighed, stood up and walked out . He paused at the door and said casually, “Make him talk!”
Then he waved for Chu Yang and walked out without looking back . Tie Bu Tian had finally shown his fierce Iron blood side .
Chu Yang followed Tie Bu Tian out… When they were shoulder to shoulder, he could feel that this prince’s heart was also weighed down…
Inside, a series of strange sounds rang out . It was then followed by the tragic scream of Tang Xin Sheng, “Kill me!”
“Ah… ah…” After that, there was a series of painful cries, mixed with Tang Xin Sheng’s cursing, “Tie Bu Tian, you use base means to torture a powerful person; don’t you feel embarrassed? I just want to die peacefully, and you won’t even allow it?”
Tie Bu Tian stood still there; his jade face did not show any emotion .
“Senior Chu, I am really angry at this person . ” Tie Bu Tian clasped his hands and quietly said, “I truly admired his ability…”
Chu Yang rolled his eyes and said, “That is only natural; an enemy that we feel sorry for is the most dangerous enemy of all! If we just look down on him, how could he create such big waves…”
“Yes . ” Tie Bu Tian slightly nodded, and said, “Torturing a powerful man, a genius, like this is something I really don’t want . But I must know the information in his head . If that was not the case, I would happily give him an easy death . ”
Chu Yang was silent for a moment, then he said, “There are some things in life that cannot be forced . And there some people that would never open their mouths even if you removed their bones . Tang Xin Sheng is that kind of person . The moment I caught him, I already did not have any hope of getting anything from him . I am afraid your majesty will be disappointed . ”
Tie Bu Tian was silent for a long while . Then he suddenly said, “It’s not certain just yet . It could be said that my two bodyguards came straight out from hell… I have absolute faith in their methods . Only, with Tang Xin Sheng, they have to be a little more cruel . ”
Chu Yang smiled and said, “Your majesty, just wait and see . ”
Tie Bu Tian laughed slightly, “Would Minister Chu like to make a bet with me?”
Chu Yang smiled, “Could it be that the prince is a gambler? What would your majesty like to bet?”
