Fishing in Troubled Waters

"In order to avoid trouble, the four of them must die!" the man with a crew cut said concisely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four soldiers of the Fire Army changed instantly.

General Long Wei also frowned, his face gloomy: "What nonsense are you talking about? They are all my personal guards, brothers who have been through life and death with me, how could they defect to the enemy?"

"The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart. There are many cases of brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the same house. For your safety, we can't take risks." The man with a crew cut said in a serious tone.

"A soldier can be killed but not humiliated! We have followed the general for many years, experienced life and death, and are loyal to him. We will never betray him even if we lose our lives!"

"That's right! Don't judge a gentleman by your own mean heart!"

"Humph! How can such a lowly person understand the brotherhood of sharing life and death?!"

Several fire soldiers were either angry or sarcastic about the words of the crew-haired man.

They are all personal guards who have gone through the test of life and death. At critical moments, they can sacrifice their lives for General Long Wei.

From the moment they entered the Fire Army to the moment they were selected as the Royal Guards, they were instilled with a purpose.

The general's safety is above all else.

Not to mention their own lives, even if all the lives of their family members were added together, they would not be as important as the general.

On the one hand, there is loyalty and faith.

On the other hand, military law is strict.

Because once something happened to the general, these personal guards would have to commit suicide to apologize, and their families would be implicated as well.

So no matter what happens, they will never have the idea of ​​betrayal.

"I really don't understand what you call brotherhood, but I understand human nature and punishment."

The man with a crew cut said expressionlessly: "Once you are caught, even if you are a strong man, you can't stand the punishment in the black prison. Don't quibble, because I used to work in the black prison and have seen too many real examples, and there has never been an exception."

The horror of the black prison punishment has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. People who have not experienced it will never understand the despair and pain.

Many so-called tough guys curse the heavens and the earth when they first enter the army, relying on their dying lives and fearing nothing.

But such people often cannot last more than half a day.

In the black prison, death is a luxury and a relief.

Most prisoners are unable to live or die.

There is a particularly classic case in Prison.

Ten years ago, there was a notorious thief who murdered more than a dozen women and even killed the daughter of a high-ranking official.

After that, the thief Cai Xi was imprisoned in a dark prison and tortured alive for three years. Finally, he was refined into a human pig. He was finally freed after the high-ranking official calmed down.

Precisely because he had seen so much blood and gore, he did not believe in so-called human nature, and even less did he believe that anyone could withstand torture and forced confession.

After hearing the word "Black Prison", several guards of the Fire Army immediately frowned and their words lost their sharpness.

Although they have never seen it with their own eyes, they are well aware of the horror of the Black Prison.

That is definitely not a place for people to stay.

Let me ask you, if they are really thrown into prison, can they withstand the punishment?

No one can be sure about this.

"General, for your safety, make a decision." The man with a crew cut turned his eyes away.

General Long Wei lowered his head, his expression uncertain.

"If the general can't do it, I can do it for you." The man with a crew cut said again.

"No way!"

General Long Wei's eyes turned cold: "I'll take care of my people myself!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his sword and swung it at the four people in front of him.

"Swoosh!"

The light slashed across, as fast as lightning, bringing with it a gust of breeze.

The four people's bodies shook, and a thin red line suddenly appeared on their necks.

"General! You..."

The bearded man was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, the thin red line on his neck suddenly tore.

Blood splattered and the head fell to the ground.

The other three suffered the same fate, and each died with their eyes open.

They didn't expect the general to be so cruel. He would kill without any hesitation.

For the safety of the general, they could commit suicide if necessary.

But being killed by the general himself is another matter.

"Brothers, I'm sorry. I've taken care of you in this life, and I'll pay you back double in the next life."

General Long Wei looked at the four bodies on the ground and muttered to himself.

"What a fast move! The general is indeed a hero." The man with a crew cut smiled.

Men like these who have fought against thousands of enemies on the battlefield have all emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are definitely not soft-hearted people.

However, he was still quite surprised by the cruelty of General Long Wei.

He could have used them to kill themselves, but he didn't expect the General would do it himself.

"Stop talking nonsense! If I can't leave the royal city one day, all of you will be buried with me!" General Long Wei said coldly.

"Don't worry, General. I have already made all the arrangements. If nothing unexpected happens, you can leave West Lucozia tomorrow morning." The man with a crew cut smiled.

"It would be better this way." General Long Wei slowly subsided his murderous intent.

"General, please come."

The man with the crew cut asked his subordinates to open the gate, and then he led a group of people out in a line, walking out openly.

General Long Wei had already put on the uniform of the city guards and blended in with the patrol team very normally, not conspicuous at all.

As long as he doesn't meet anyone he knows, they won't notice anything unusual. - Ton

When the door opened, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Thorian Rhys walked out with two guards. "Young Prince?!" When everyone saw him, they immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces. Whether it was the general soldier of the city guard, the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion, or the general Longwei, they all looked flattering. The gentleman in front of them was a famous devil. Although he had restrained himself a little in the past two years, he still had some power. The prince should at least talk about reason. This guy was a time bomb when he was in trouble. They had suffered a lot in the past. "Young Prince, you finally came out. I have something important to report. Please, young prince..." "Get out of the way!" The Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion came forward with a charming smile on his face. Just when he was about to say a few words, Thorian Rhys thought he was in t...

Questioning

The law enforcement team worked very efficiently, and in just one hour, they brought all three people back to the palace. When they entered the door, according to Thorian's request, Wang Mang arranged for the three of them to have a brief meeting, but did not give them a chance to speak. Afterwards, the three were taken to different rooms and guarded separately. Due to the identities of the three people, the law enforcement team did not force them. On the contrary, they treated them with good tea and wine. The only restriction is that they cannot leave the room and can only wait to be summoned by the young prince. General Longwei was placed under house arrest in Room No. 1, the city guard commander was placed under house arrest in Room No. 2, and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was placed under house arrest in Room No. 3. The three people's rooms were close to each other, separated by only a wall. They could see each other when they went out, but they coul...

Arrest and Interrogation

"Um?" Hearing this, even General Long Wei couldn't help but frown. The palace law enforcement team is never dispatched easily, but once they are called upon, it is basically an earth-shattering event. The question is, is a mere legitimate son of the Duncan family qualified to be looked upon by the young prince in this way? "General, are you sure that the royal palace law enforcement team has really been dispatched? And is it because of Zhengjun Duncan?" General Long Wei asked back. "Of course it's true!" The city guard commander said with a serious face: "The higher-ups have just issued an order that the captain of the palace law enforcement team will temporarily take over my position as commander. Now the city defense affairs, including public security investigations, are under the full control of the law enforcement team!" "Strange, why would the young prince make such a fuss for such a small role?" General Long ...
