Genius Demon Empress

"Yue Jinghua, hand over the antidote, otherwise, don't blame the lonely heart for being cruel and merciless," Fa Xiaoyun broke free from the momentary daze, he raised his hand, and dozens of instruments of torture were brought up, some of which were burning red There is also a pot of boiling oil that makes people bruise, tiger stools, poisonous whips with thorns hanging upside down, and so on.

The richer the country, the richer the types of instruments of torture.

Fa Xiaoyun did not immediately extract a confession. Fa Xiaoyun still had some scruples about Yue Jinghua. In the alchemy test on that day, Yue Jinghua became a blockbuster, almost an alchemist at the monstrous level, such a talent, whether it is Danhu or other forces, will try their best to recruit.

Yue Jinghua got up and stood up, the chain behind her was not much burden, she was like an elegant female leopard, she came quietly and said a word.

After saying that, Yue Jinghua said softly again, "If the monarch thinks that the information is not detailed enough, you can send someone to a small medicine store in the north of the city, and ask the shopkeeper for a detailed transaction record."

Fa Xiaoyun was struck by lightning, what Yue Jinghua said in his ear was just some transaction records in the market, his face was not changing, Yue Jinghua saw it in his eyes, and knew that he had half believed it.

Last June, Fa Xiaoyi entrusted Mrs. Yao to buy 100 sets of mid-level spiritual armor with 10,000 fourth-level black pills.

Three months later, Fa Xiaoyi bought more than a hundred third-tier grassland horses through the market again.

In December of the same year, through Mrs. Yao, Fa Xiaoyi obtained a batch of steel materials for making heavy crossbows. He owns a private army. On that day when something happened in the palace, his soldiers and guards gathered in the Shang Palace within a short time.

"You mean, Mrs. Yao and Fa Xiaoyi have colluded for a long time?" Fa Xiaoyun was full of resentment.

"If it wasn't for the two of them colluding long ago, even if a little junior alchemist like me has refined the poison pill, how could Mrs. Yao's eyesight not see it?" Yue Jinghua sighed, "I was also deceived Forced and helpless, I have been in love with Fa Xiaoyi for many years. Even if he wants me to die, I am willing. What's more, he personally promised me that as long as things are done, he is willing to allow me to take the next place. It's a pity that I didn't know until after the event. You know, he also made the same promise to Lisi Si."

Concubine Sha's fetus is hard to protect. If there is another accident, Fa Xiaoyi will be the legitimate heir to the throne. After weighing it a bit, Fa Xiaoyun immediately made a decision in his heart. Before the imperial power, what kind of family relationship, what kind of brotherhood, not to mention, in the early years, he made things difficult for Fa Xiaoyi many times, I am afraid that he has long hated himself. To the bone.

Fa Xiaoyun snorted.

"Here are a few elixir made from ambergris stalactite, which can eliminate all kinds of poisons." Yue Jinghua saw that Fa Xiaoyun had been shaken, "The king can go to Lord Fa Wang's warehouse to check, or you can go to the next It is said that the small medicine store is looking for information about the transaction between the market and the Prince of Fa."

Fa Xiaoyun pondered for a moment, took the elixir, turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, from Yue Jinghua's cell next door, he stretched out two arms and hugged Fa Xiaoyun's thigh.

"I'm wronged -----" The shrill screams shook the entire dungeon.

"Bold," Fa Xiaoyun was in a bad mood, and when he looked down, he saw a greasy pancake face under his nose.

"Caomin Luopan is a two-star mercenary. I am wronged. Please make up your mind, Your Majesty." Before the man finished shouting his injustice, he showed the badge of the two-star mercenary.

Fa Xiaoyun's close guards pounced on them like hungry wolves, pulling their legs and pulling their arms.

There was a burst of punching and kicking, and the fat man with the big pie face screamed and almost kept breathing.

By the time the fat man came to his senses, he had changed from a big white flour steamed bun to sorghum noodles with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

His mercenary badge was also beaten and flew out of the cell, and landed on Yue Jinghua's side.

As mentioned above, there are very few prisoners in the sky prison in Shang Kingdom.

But by coincidence, Yue Jinghua also has a cellmate.

As for the appearance and characteristics of this prison inmate, I will use the words of Pin Jincan to describe it calmly. If the fat from this Luosuo's body is used to make suet, the residents of the entire Boluo City will not have to worry about using oil for a year.

Luo Pan, Yue Jinghua's cellmate, was imprisoned half a day later than Yue Jinghua. It can be said that one of them came in before the other, and the other followed.

When Yue Jinghua was imprisoned, he looked full of interest, and looked inside and outside the prison.

And after the compass was locked in, every two hours, he was like an alarm clock that had been wound up, but the content was not to tell the time, but to cry for grievances.

Seeing Fa Xiaoyun leaving angrily, Yue Jinghua knew that most of what she wanted had been achieved, so she couldn't help but feel good

She picked up the mercenary badge casually, and raised her eyebrows a little when she saw the two shining stars on it.

"Well-meaning big sister, please give me back my lifeblood." Across the wooden fence, the big face that was a bit rounder than the fifteenth moon squeezed eyes the size of mung beans.

"Are you a mercenary? What did you do? You've been locked up in the sky prison," Yue Jinghua was not in a hurry to throw the badge back. She also had the same two-star badge.

The badge of the compass reminded her of her experience in the mercenary town, and it also reminded her of the dead Zach.

"I owe money," Compass wrinkled his face bitterly, and Mung Dou glanced at the leftover white flour steamed buns in Yue Jinghua's cell, "Our mercenary squad is insolvent, and I'm the captain of the squad, so I was imprisoned to make up for it Yes. My brothers and sisters said they were pooling money to protect me, but it’s been several days, and I’ve lost a lot of weight, and they haven’t seen anyone yet.”

Throwing a few steamed buns across the air, Compass immediately burst into a big smile.

There are several forms of mercenaries. A single-action mercenary is called a free mercenary. You only need to register with the mercenary union. The next level up is the mercenary squad. The mercenary squad is composed of at least one person and no more than ten people.

As a mercenary, Yue Jinghua has also come into contact with some impoverished mercenaries. Some people will be prosecuted by the entrusting master and put in jail because they cannot complete the entrusted tasks or lose the entrusted property. The world is not uncommon.

But because of debts, a mercenary was imprisoned in the sky prison. That was the first time I heard of it.

"Hey, big girl, I can't see it, you know the market quite well. I'll tell you secretly, we owe this amount," Compass stretched out his fat and short fingers, first made a four-character gesture, and then extended a finger .

"Ten thousand Tier 4 Profound Pills?" It's not that Yue Jinghua doesn't believe it, but she doesn't understand how much courage the entrusting master needs to entrust a novice with a task worth 10,000 Tier 4 Profound Pills. Mercenary squad.

"Hey, you look down on us too much. We are the second generation of soldiers. If any of the spiritual weapons around us are sold, they are not worth this amount. Don't be scared, we received 10,000 fourth-level weapons. Xuandan's pearl-level mission," Compass proudly said.

"You guys, pearl-level mercenary missions?" Yue Jinghua shook his head, expressing his disbelief, and this was exaggerated: "The mercenary manual stipulates that missions above the pearl-level level can only be performed by freelancers with four stars and above." Mercenaries, only mercenary teams with a team evaluation of three stars or above can take over. Your team has a maximum of two stars, and it is impossible to take on such a high-level task."

The mercenary system on the main road is divided into individual evaluation and team evaluation.

To upgrade a free mercenary, you only need to accumulate tasks. In principle, a one-star mercenary completes a stone-level mercenary task, a two-star mercenary completes 30 shell-level tasks, and a three-star mercenary completes 40 pearl-level tasks.

But the mercenary squad is different, it requires the completion of team tasks of the same rank in order to advance. A team task of stone steps is equivalent to five mercenary tasks of the same level. Therefore, Compass and others are at best a one-star mercenary squad, and it is impossible for them to take on such a high-level mercenary mission.

"Don't believe me, wait, you are also a mercenary?" Luo Pan finally realized.

Yue Jinghua nodded, took out her two-star mercenary badge and shook it.

Seeing that the other party is also a mercenary, and that he is obviously younger than himself, he is already a two-star mercenary by one turn, Luo Pan immediately stands in awe.

"You're right, but that's a general situation. There are some hidden rules in every industry, and mercenaries are no exception." Yue Jinghua's time in Canglong Continent was very short, and it was only a matter of time before he came into contact with mercenaries. It's been a month, and I don't know many industry rules.

In some cases, in order to rise quickly, some newly established mercenary squads can receive mercenary tasks across levels and obtain higher mercenary points through certain methods, that is, to provide pledges.

"As long as you provide the mercenary union with a pledge equivalent to the delivery of the goods, you can accept all tasks below the Wushuang level. As long as the mission is successfully completed, you can get mercenary point rewards and understand the pledge," Although Luo Pan and his group of newcomer mercenary friends are all rookies, they know much more mercenary rules than Yue Jinghua.

Most of the members of Luopan's squad are in their teens or twenties, and it took only two or three months to set up the squad. Except for Fatty, the other mercenaries are all one-star mercenaries.

This group of people is the same as Luopan, their parents are powerful mercenaries, and Luopan is the eldest son of a five-star mercenary powerhouse.

But after these people did not become mercenaries, they washed their hands with golden basins, or went into business or became officials in a big country. Their children were born with silver spoons and gold spoons in their mouths from birth. Let alone being a mercenary, he had never even seen a few drops of blood.

The reason why the "Second Generation of Soldiers" team was formed was mostly out of curiosity.

After a few people formed a small team, they began to look for mercenary missions.

Like all new mercenaries, they received some trivial tasks at first, and they were exhausted and had few mercenary points.

After much consideration, Compass, the most "senior" two-star mercenary in their team, came forward and applied for this cross-level task from the mercenary union. artifact.

This group of people has a good family. Although they go out without telling their family members, they always keep some valuable things by their side.

"How did you become a two-star mercenary?" It is recorded in the mercenary manual that a mercenary squad can only be formed if there is at least one two-star mercenary in the squad. But Fatty Compass also said just now that the most difficult task he took on in the country was to help a farmer in the suburbs find the missing cow.

"It's a coincidence that I went out of the city to help farmers find cattle that day. I accidentally lost my way and had to sleep in the woods in the middle of the night. I heard dogs barking in the middle of the night. In the middle of the night, I didn't bother to get up and turned over. Then I continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, at dawn, there was an animal that looked like a dog under my body. I thought, the animal is dead, so it’s better to take it back to the stew pot and dog meat pot. The fourth-rank owl wolf happened to be the evil beast on the reward list in the mercenary town. Afterwards, people from the mercenary union helped me add it, and I became a two-star mercenary."

Compass told the truth.

Yue Jinghua and his friends fell down in an instant, Qiqi looked at the fat man's body that could crush Taishan's color, and imagined the miserable situation of that poor owl being crushed to death.

Just as he was talking, a jailer came in and brought him breakfast. It turned out that it was already dawn before he knew it.

As soon as he saw the jailer, the fat man scrambled and rolled over, "Brother, have my brothers come to redeem me?"

Even if this group of second-generation mercenaries failed to complete the mission, they could afford to pay for the loss of the Red Pearl mission with all the money around them.

"Redemption? What kind of redemption? You offended the monarch just now, and you will be locked up for at least another ten days. Also, the value of the shipment you escorted has been re-estimated, saying it was underestimated. The twelve missing mysterious beasts The egg was identified as a high-level mysterious beast egg. There is also a topographical dragon egg, and it is said that that egg alone is worth half a million fifth-level profound pills. You just wait until you get rid of the prison cell," the jailer said as soon as he finished. , Compass plopped, fell to the ground, and passed out.
