He was standing in the middle of the room with the cell door open, and several officials of the torture department surrounded him, unfastening the shackles on his feet.

Hearing the sound, he turned around.

His figure is thin and powerful, but his eyes are still clear and transparent.

Only when he saw Pei Tuo, he shuddered abruptly and moved away unnaturally.

Pei Tuo's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the anger, stubbornness, pain...At this moment, it seemed to be silent in this dark and cold space, frozen in life.

Pei Tuo opened his mouth, but didn't know how to speak. He looked at the person before him in vain.

Ren Jinglei was more calm than him. After the first gaffe, he had returned to his cold expression. After the jailer removed the shackles on his hands and feet for him, he walked slowly out of the cell door.

Walking past Pei Tuo, Ren Jinglei did not squint.

Pei Tuo's figure was stiff and trembling, and after a staggered moment, he finally recovered his tone.

"You lied to me, you have been..." He clenched his fists and stared at him for the past ten years.

"Yes." Ren Jinglei turned his head and smiled calmly: "You are already stupid, there is no pressure to lie to you."

Pei Tuo seemed to be slapped severely, his body trembling, "Why?"

"It seems that everyone has to ask me why, I'm already a little bored."

He smiled, still having that heartless appearance, but it hurt Pei Tuo's eyes severely.

He rushed forward and grabbed Ren Jinglei's shoulder.

Ren Jinglei staggered backwards under such a violent collision.

Until his back pressed hard against the wall, his face was pale and he couldn't help showing an expression of pain, but he was quickly suppressed.

"Your martial arts..." Pei Tuo was taken aback after pressing the person on the wall.

Ren Jinglei raised a hand, trying to push him away. Pei Tuo took a step back in a daze, letting him push himself, even though the pushing force was weak.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on Ren Jinglei's hands again.

Ren Jinglei was too late to take it back, and he grabbed his wrist.

"Your hand..." Pei Tuo stared at the slender fingertips, the original dexterous and flexible fingernails were gone, leaving only scars and mottled scars.

Ren Jinglei pulled out forcefully, and smiled lazily: "What's so surprising, the usual methods of the Criminal Ministry, do you think they invited me in for a drink?"

Only then did Pei Tuo notice that Ren Jinglei was wearing a plain white turtleneck shirt, covering almost all of his skin except his face.

He lifted his hand to hold his skirt.

"Get out!" Realizing what he wanted to do, Ren Jinglei gave a low voice and then struggled violently.

Pei Tuo was caught off guard, and was stunned by him.

Pei Tuo took a step back, staring at him blankly.

"Don't show this kind of girlish expression, it will only make people laugh." Ren Jinglei sneered and stopped looking at Pei Tuo.

Seeing his figure walking slowly outside, Pei Tuo roared suddenly: "Why?!"

The sound was so loud that the whole prison wall rustled.

Tang Chen rubbed his ears. Is Marquis Nanxiang planning to use a lion roar to demolish their prison prison?

Ren Jinglei stopped, turned to stare at him, and said coldly: "Whatever you do. I'm tired of helping you with the aftermath, but now I'm finally relieved."

"Hurry up and grow up, Master Pei Xiaohou, officialdom is not such a simple matter."

"Forget it, with your little head, I'm afraid I can't figure out such a complicated thing."

Leaving a mocking look, Ren Jinglei turned and left, no longer nostalgic.

Walking out of the long corridor, after being imprisoned for seven or eight days, saw the sun outside for the first time.

Ren Jinglei narrowed his eyes and turned to ask Tang Chen next to him: "Should I go directly to the execution ground or execute it here?"

Tang Chen glanced at him, "Congratulations, you don't have to die, the next is a way to survive. The emperor agreed to Nanchen's exchange request."

Ren Jinglei paused, "What was the price for the exchange? Don't tell me it is the 20,000 Southern Army waste dim sum. The emperor should not see these people in his eyes.

Tang Chen wanted to laugh a little. He had been in contact with Ren Jinglei many times before because of work needs, but he really didn't see that this kid was so vicious. Of course, there is also a stiff mouth. These days the methods of the Ministry of Justice have been exhausted, and there is no useful information from his mouth.

Tang Chen still admires this kind of person.

"It was the 20,000 remnants that disappointed Mr. Yaoguang. Perhaps because you are in the eyes of the emperor, the value of the 20,000 trash snacks is about the same." Tang Chen teased.

"Then I am really ashamed." Ren Jinglei laughed. The smile twitched his chest, and the two broken ribs had not been healed, almost to the point of a strike. I was tortured by Pei Tuo just now, and it hurt even more, but this pain is nothing compared to the days when it fell in the hands of the Xing Department these days.

"Mr. Yaoguang don't have to be ashamed. In the hearts of the emperor and the court, you certainly have more than this value."

Huo Donglai, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, brought several officials from the opposite side to explain his doubts.

In Ren Jinglei's eyes, Huo Donglai smiled and said:

"In addition to Nanchen's 20,000 captives of the Southern Army, General Pei also used Gyeonggi military power and his position in exchange for your life."

Ren Jinglei's face suddenly changed, and he trembled slightly, as if he could hardly believe the result.

I thought that if I was caught and executed according to the law, that person would not have much guilt. But he actually...

If he knew this was the result, he would rather die in the ruined temple from the beginning, or die in the prison of the torture department.

Huo Donglai stared at him, shook his head with a wry smile, "I really admire you for being able to do so many things by yourself."

A life affects the affection of the powers of the two countries. And Pei Ling, an old opponent, he originally thought that nothing could knock him down. Unexpectedly, a heavy blow from the inside would make him crushed.

By the way, he glanced at Marquis Nanxiang Hou behind. Through the long corridor, it was vaguely visible that he was still standing there, motionless, almost blending with the gloomy shadow.

Thinking back to the sigh before his father died a few months ago, one day, Pei Ling will fall worse and worse than them.

The curse-like words came true, only a few short months later.

I'm afraid that even his own father is unimaginable in the spirit of heaven.

Only a few months after taking over the power of the court, they were forced to retreat. From this perspective, the Huo family should really be grateful to the young man in front of them.

In the end, Huo Donglai sighed and took Ren Jinglei out of the Office of the Criminal Ministry.

Ren Jinglei wants to leave the capital with Wen Miao's team.

The embassy group entered Beijing and did not reach a satisfactory result for both parties, but only confirmed the stubbornness and uncoordinated contradiction between the two parties.

Qin Nuo already understood that there was no other way to convince the Nanchen Emperor who was so strong that he was almost paranoid.

At the gate of the Criminal Ministry, Shence Camp Zhao Pingyi had prepared a carriage. He escorted Wen Miao all the way to Beijing. Now he is also responsible for escorting people all the way back.

Seeing Master Minister personally send the people out, Zhao Ping has a complicated look. He is also a colleague of the five guards of the Forbidden Army. He and Ren Jinglei have a very good relationship.

In fact, it wasn't just him, Ren Jinglei was straightforward and righteous, with a bright personality. In the entire five guards of the Forbidden Army, even the Shence Camp and Shenbing Camp that were not in harmony were popular among them.

Almost all the officers and soldiers who followed looked at Ren Jinglei with awkward expressions.

Wen Miao stepped down from the carriage and stepped forward to hold Ren Jinglei's hand.

"His Royal Highness..." A thousand words, but I don't know where to start. When they were young, Chen Xuan and Bai Guangxi went to visit him. They once took the little child, just a naive little one, and he even asked the servants at home to give him scones.

There was only so much the intersection between the two before. Unexpectedly, after the country's subjugation, there will be no one to see each other, but the connection between them has become closer.

In the past few years, Wen Mian has contacted him several times in planning the layout.

Ren Jinglei looked cold and cast his eyes down with his caring and eagerness for Wen Mian.

Wen Miao understood that this was not the place to talk, and helped Ren Jinglei back to the carriage.

Sitting on the carriage, Ren Jinglei asked suddenly: "Master Wen, the 20,000 prisoners have not yet begun to transport."

"No." Wen Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Emperor Great Zhou was unexpectedly generous, and he readily agreed to release the prisoners without receiving the released prisoners.

Maybe he understood that Nanchen couldn't break his contract on this matter.

Ren Jinglei's eyes hung down and did not speak.

The carriage goes all the way,

Until the city gate, the team leaving the city was stopped by a group of soldiers and horses.

Cui Qian was riding on the horse, his eyes fixed on the carriage.

Zhao Ping stepped forward helplessly, and said, "General Cui, please give me some face."

Cui Qian ignored him, sneered, rolled over and got off his horse, throwing off the reins. Then he walked quickly to the carriage.

Ren Jinglei had already heard the movement outside, he calmly pushed the car door and looked at Cui Qian standing in front of the car.

"It's okay to go back." Cui Qian looked at him arrogantly, and said coldly, "But one day, you will fall into my hands again. I swear that you will be captured again. The first time There is a second time."

"At that time, I will put you and your good brother together in a cage and bring back to this city."

This sentence was extremely rude, and Wen Miao's face suddenly showed anger.

"General Cui!" Zhao Ping yelled in a low voice next to him. He also felt that it was too much. As a warrior, you must first respect your opponent. Even if Nanchen is an enemy and the king of a country, is there such a humiliation?

Ren Jinglei's face was calm and calm: "Then I wish General Cui all his thoughts will be done."

Cui Qian punched the cotton sleeve, his cheeks flushed.

Ren Jinglei didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, just about to close the car door, he made a sudden movement, staring at the opposite side firmly.

Following his sight, Zhao Ping and several others also looked over.

Pei Ling did not bring any attendants, dressed in plain clothes, and standing in the shadow behind the city gate with a horse.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going, but he seemed to be on the far side of his life, only staring silently at this side.

Contacting Ren Jinglei's gaze, he finally moved forward.

Ren Jinglei supported the frame and got out of the carriage.

"General." He whispered.

"The general shouldn't have come." He suppressed his slightly wet eyes and bowed his head.

Because of him, Pei Ling was already in trouble, and coming to send him off would definitely make courtiers look at him.

Isn't all these troubles caused by him? But here and now, he is hypocritically worried.

Standing in front of him, Pei Ling had a calm face, did not look at him, just said to Void: "Within Gyeonggi, I can go wherever I want, who can put my beak?"

"General..." Ren Jinglei laughed. Do you have to give up the great advantage you just got? Is the life of a traitor so worthy of his thoughts and pity?

He is not Ren Jinglei, but a thief who stole this name and identity!

Pei Ling's eyes finally fell on him, "Don't fight again after you go back, live your life honestly."

"Since then Jinglei is just a waste, where can I fight and kill." Ren Jinglei smiled. He was abolished martial arts from the first day he entered the prison.

Zhao Pingyi next to him was a little admired. As a warrior, his dantian was completely destroyed and his martial arts was completely abolished. He could still laugh. didn't know that Brother Ren was so generous before.

"It's okay to abolish it. It was originally taught by the general. It was my deception." Ren Jinglei chuckled.

Then, he solemnly knelt down and bowed three heads respectfully towards Pei Ling.

"The grace of the general's upbringing is nothing to repay, and it can only be paid back in the next life, if there is really an afterlife."

Then he stood up and whispered: "Foster father, goodbye."

Pei Ling's body trembled slightly. Since he raised Ren Jinglei, the child has been abiding by etiquette, calling him a general, and never would call him a foster father or a master. He was a little surprised once, but then gradually got used to it. The unfamiliarity in the title did not affect the relationship between the two. Maybe this child misses his father and family too much, so he doesn't want to have a second father.

Pei Ling gradually relieved, but did not expect that at this moment, he heard this long-lost address and said it from his mouth.

His nose suddenly became sore, he looked away, "If you leave, don't come back."

Ren Jinglei gave a low mumble, turned and left in front of Pei Ling.

He didn't mean to get into the carriage. Instead, he walked on the road with dull and slow steps.

The city gate official in the capital was still an old subordinate of his Five city division, and he didn't know what to call the person in front of him for a while. As a low-ranking officer, he didn't know why Ren Jinglei was suddenly dismissed and put to jail. He just panicked instinctively...

Finally, Wei Wei Nuo said: "General Ren..."

Ren Jinglei smiled and glanced at this loyal and cautious elderly veteran, and said with a smile: "It's winter soon. You don't have to stay too late at the gate, or your old cold legs will have another attack."

The city gate official nodded vigorously.

Ren Jinglei continued to move forward, and the team was also slowly advancing.

No one called him to get into the carriage, and they seemed to understand his mood at this moment.

In front is the city gate. Under the setting sun, the huge gate casts an arched shadow on the broad bluestone official road.

After leaving the capital, from then on he belonged to Ren Jinglei's life, which was completely over.

Step by step, simpler than expected, but also heavier than expected.

Passing by the city gate officer, in a blind spot invisible to Pei Ling and Wen Mian, Ren Jinglei suddenly stretched out his hand and drew the saber on the waist of the opposite veteran.

Caught off guard. Although the body is exhausted, but the agility is not something ordinary soldiers can resist.

His movements were smooth and rapid, and the sharp blade slashed towards his neck.

This short and divided life is at this junction. Let's end.

Looking up at the sky, the blue color was turning red, and the bright sunset light was warm and brilliant.

At the last moment, saw this kind of scenery, which was not bad...
