Severe pain, lack of oxygen, and the body loses consciousness. Immediately, consciousness enters the system space.

Li Mu stayed in the system space, observing everything outside like an outsider. This feeling is very wonderful. If you have to find an adjective to describe it, it is probably like the state that only exists in the "out-of-body" period in the "out-of-body" novel I saw in my previous life.

Li Mu regards this feeling as a kind of protection of the system for itself, just like a computer CPU that will crash if it overheats. Now the system is "parasitic" in its body, or in its "soul", and it must not want to die, so at the most critical moment, it adopts such measures to protect its soul.

This is a bit like the snake spirit boarding that Zhenyu said. Li Mu felt something, but it was like a layer of fog that was not clear.

It was not until he was thrown into the water that his consciousness slowly returned to his body, and Li Mu slowly "awakened" over.

Cui Yuzheng is a pervert, and there is no sympathy in his head. Zhenyu and Li Mu are locked in the same water prison.

The so-called water prison, as the name suggests, is a special prison cell related to water. Usually, this kind of prison cell is built underground, which is humid and cold. It is surrounded by thick stone walls, divided into two layers. The upper layer is a reservoir and the lower layer is a cell with a mechanical sac. When the machine is opened, the water will flood and flood the cell. Although people who are locked in the water prison will not suffocate to death in a short time, people cannot sit and rest in the water prison, and they will not be able to sleep. In less than a few days, the place soaked in the water will begin to rot. The rot will attract various worms parasitic in the water. The worms reproduce in the wound. In the end, the person will die of festering. This process is relatively long, and its cruelty is not weaker than any other way of death.

Cui Yuzheng originally planned to torture Li Mu himself. However, he didn't care about giving birth to a child on Wang Ou. He didn't want to torture Li Mu, so throwing him into the water prison was a way of having both worlds.

And he also thought that if the uprising was really a rebellion, Li Mu would be considered a qualified hostage at least.

At night, the lights were brightly lit on the Snake Spirit Mountain. The man in brown was still looking for Dugu Jiu and others, but none of them fell into his hands. Dugu Jiu and the people under him were not weak, and there were also crossbows to help. After several conflicts broke out, they were able to escape unscathed.

Cui Yuzheng cursed hysterically and crazily, no one dared to contradict him. The Snake Spirit Sect, who was becoming increasingly crazy, seemed very powerless. They expected the elders to come forward, but until now, they had not seen any elder's shadow, a possibility that they dared not think deeply, appeared in their minds.

The leader, I'm afraid that the elders have been put under house arrest?

The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. Everyone stayed on Lingshe Mountain was cautious and cautious in their words and actions.

...

Wang Ou's childbirth was very smooth. In less than three hours, the child was born. He was five pounds and two ounces, and he was a very healthy daughter. Although it was smooth, he was exhausted. After seeing the child, he fell asleep in a drowsy way.

Cui Yuzheng stood at the door, looking at the mother and the mother from afar, wanting to get close, but worried that her appearance would scare her daughter. She stood at the door reluctantly and looked for a while before she turned her eyes away and walked out of the house.

"Take good care of your wife, and you will not be spared if you have any mistakes!"

Cui Yuzheng left a word and left with the man in brown. Then all the holy envoys were driven into the yard, and the man in brown was surrounded outside, with his shoulders next to his shoulders, and there was no gap.

The Holy Envoys seemed a little panicked, but Wang Ou was not awake yet, so they didn't dare to be good at it. They could only allow the brown-clad man to surround the yard, divide some people, block the door, and guard against accidents.

Cui Yuzheng returned to his cave and did not go in. Instead, he ordered people to lay mats and set up a table, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, the moonlight was like washing, and everything around you could see clearly. Cui Yuzheng was afraid of the light, and any light shining on him would burn him. However, this moonlight would not only not hurt him at all, but would be like charging, which would be of great benefit to him.

So every mid-fifth month, he would stay outside for a while and enjoy the comfort brought by the moonlight. But today, he was not alone, he was waiting for someone else.

"Brother, congratulations," a frivolous voice came into his ears, disturbing Cui Yuzheng's meditation. He opened his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. The man was skinny and bone-skinned and his eyes were a little dull. If he hadn't been able to speak, he would be more like a mummy under the moonlight.

Color is a steel knife that scrapes the bone, and Cui Yuyan verified this sentence with his own actions.

Almost a year after he arrived in Miaojiang, with the support of the Cui family of Boling and the protection of Cui Yuzheng, the leader, he was domineering in Miaojiang, playing tricks, coercion and temptation. He had harmed many Miaojiang daughters, which made the body that was not strong, even worse.

But what does this matter? Doctor Miao has some tonics. With the blessing of tiger and wolf medicine, Cui Yuyan didn't feel that he was not good at all. Isn't it just that he is a little thin and has no effect on that matter.

Cui Yuzheng was full of disgust, but under the moonlight, he didn't see it very clearly, so he hid it very well.

If it weren't for physical fatigue, Cui Yuzheng could have become a handsome man of a generation. He and Cui Yuyan are essentially different. In his heart, he looks down on a playboy like Cui Yuyan.

But Shi Yu was also fate, which made the two of them come together. He valued the power of the Boling Cui clan behind Cui Yuyan. What few people know is that the Boling Cui clan competed with other clans in the Central Plains and was in a weak position for most of the time, but in Miaojiang and in the southwest, the Boling Cui clan had a very strong power. Especially in Miaojiang and the Tubo generation, it can be said that the smuggling on this side was controlled by the Boling Cui clan.

If Cui Yuzheng had not become the leader of Miaojiang, the Cui clan of Qinghe would be incomparable to the Cui clan of Boling in this area. Even if he became the leader of the Snake Spirit Cult and the Cui clan of Qinghe had gained a foothold in Miaojiang, the Cui clan of Qinghe could not eat the fat piece of Tubo. This is one of the reasons why Cui Yuzheng would protect Cui Yuyan. What he valued was the power of the Cui clan of Boling.

No matter how playful Cui Yuyan is, he is a single descendant of the Boling Cui family. The Boling Cui family will sooner or later be handed over to his lineage. Even if the descendants of the other generations are, they must be his descendants and cannot be avoided.

"Brother," Cui Yuzheng didn't want to talk to such people, so he went straight to the point: "Li Mu is in my hands!"

"Take it seriously!" Cui Yuyan's expression instantly became ferocious, without any frivolous expression. He said ruthlessly: "Brother, please give this person to me. My grudge against him is irreconcilable. He made me exiled and lost all my face. I made a great wish. If I had the chance, I would definitely kill him, otherwise I would not be a human being."

Seeing that Cui Yuzheng didn't say anything, Cui Yuyan gritted his teeth and said, "If my brother agrees, I will definitely write to my father. The Tubo business will be distributed to my brother half! The chiefs of Tubo."

"My brother looks down on me too much." Cui Yuzheng waved his hand and said, "It is true that a gentleman loves money and gets it well. Tubo's business has always been managed by his uncle. How dare I covet my foolish brother? However, I also know that a virtuous brother is a human being. If I inherit my affection and do not repay this favor, it is not your personality."

"Of course!" Cui Yuyan patted his chest and said, "Brother really understands my intention!"

"Okay!" Cui Yuzheng curled his lips with contempt and said, "Brother Yu is so humble. Brother Wei, do you dare to do something big with me!"

"Big thing--" Although Cui Yuyan is a playboy, she was born in a family and had more knowledge and vision. After all, she was not stupid. From Cui Yuzheng's tone, he realized that Cui Yuzheng was definitely not trying to take advantage of him this time. What he planned was probably beyond his imagination.

It’s not that Cui Yuyan dared not do it, but that he was afraid that he would agree, not be able to do it or be stopped by the elder, which would be even more embarrassing. In order not to let Cui Yuyan cause a big disaster, the Cui family of Boling put a clan's elders around him, but Cui Yuzheng was a playboy, and the elder might not be able to control him. He could only manage core matters, such as spending money, business, and important matters.

He didn't even want the business he had planned to give him. Cui Yuyan didn't dare to think about it, because he was afraid of scaring himself to death.

"It shouldn't be-"

"My brother is really smart." Cui Yuzheng said straightforwardly before he could finish speaking: "What Brother Yu is thinking in his heart is exactly what he thinks!"

"No!" Cui Yuyan was so scared that he was very tall and advised: "Brother, don't be confused. The Tang Dynasty now has a million soldiers. That guy Li Mu has opened up the relationship with the Western Turks. The internal strife in Tubo can no longer be a disaster. Only Goguryeo is left, which is not worth worrying. Miaojiang is full of plans, hundreds of thousands of people can fight big battles. Only 50,000 or 70,000 people will be persuaded to capture the strong men. This is not enough for the Tang army to block the teeth!"

When it was deadly, Cui Yuyan was not stupid: "And don't forget that we are not the only ones. Where is the family? My uncle, my father, your father, and uncle, they are all officials in the court! If we have a rebellion, will their lives still be there? I am the one who is the slaughter and the other is the fish, brother!"

Cui Yuzheng couldn't help but look at Cui Yuyan with admiration. He didn't expect that this playboy would have such insights.

But that doesn't matter, he's ready to speak.

"My brother is thoughtful and makes sense. But since Brother Yu can tell me about this, he will not be prepared at all." Cui Yuzheng said: "I want to rebel, but there are many types of rebellion. I don't want to rebel."

"Ah?" Cui Yuyan was a little confused: "Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't understand what my brother meant."

"My brother should have also heard that Li Shimin once said in front of the envoys of the 36 countries of the Western Regions that since ancient times, I only love the barbarians as one. Although this sentence is a scene, it can also reflect some of the ideas of Li Shimin. He will not use force easily to barbarians."

"The people in Miaojiang have lived in Miaojiang for thousands of years. Although there are not many people, they cannot be killed or suppressed. Moreover, Miaojiang has many mountainous lands and is not easy to cultivate. Even if the imperial army comes to suppress it, it is not cost-effective. Therefore, since ancient times, dynasties in the Central Plains have rarely done such losses."

"I'm taking advantage of this to make something happen." Cui Yuzheng glanced at Cui Yuyan and said, "Don't blame Brother Yu for speaking straightforwardly. My brother has done something for the past year, but he has a little complaint."

"Uh--" Cui Yuyan was a little ashamed when exposed in person, but she still argued: "It's all spreading rumors, and I still have a proper attitude when doing things."

Cui Yuzheng didn't want to be entangled with him, smiled and continued, "It just happened to take advantage of this to make the Miao and Han confront each other, kill a few Han officials, and make Miaojiang in chaos first. At that time, Li Shimin will send someone to investigate. After the investigation, the truth will be revealed. The court is unreasonable. Li Shimin wants to be a wise monarch. Even if he acts like a gesture, he will give Miaomin an explanation. At that time, I will make the Miao village willing to recommend me to be the king, and he will not replace him in the past. I will always keep my brother in Miaojiang. My brother has a criminal record and should not show up. But Brother Yu can promise me that as long as I and my descendants lead Miaojiang, my brother and my descendants will have the same status in Miaojiang. You and my brother will be a king side by side. What do you think?"

"The King of Sides?" Cui Yuyan had never heard of storytelling, but literally, he could understand what it meant. He felt itchy for a while, but fortunately, he had not lost his mind yet and still felt it was inappropriate and said, "Brother, the identity issue I just mentioned--"

Cui Yuzheng laughed: "Are you confused? The court doesn't know that you are in Miaojiang. At that time, you only need to find a Han man to kill him in chaos. He said that he is Censor Cui, so would you replace you? As for me, I was already dead more than ten years ago. So what if I know that I am the leader of the Snake Spirit? The leader of the Snake Spirit is a native Miao person! If I don't say it, who knows that I was from the Cui family in Qinghe?"

Cui Yuyan suddenly realized and said repeatedly: "Brother is so smart, so you can be sure of everything!" He paused and asked, "I wonder what my brother wants me to do?"

"Since my virtuous brother intends to join the grand event, I am not polite." Cui Yuzheng's eyes flashed and said, "Brother I know that your family has a batch of grain and is about to be transported to Tubo. I wonder if this batch of grain can be transported to Miaojiang to help me? My virtuous brother also knows that before the three armies move, food and grass will go first. Miaojiang does not lack troops, but food and grass will be reduced!"

"Ah——" Cui Yuyan didn't expect that Cui Yuzheng was thinking about the batch of food and grass. "Since my virtuous brother is willing to join the grand event, I'm not polite." Cui Yuzheng's eyes flashed and said, "Brother Yu knows that your family has a batch of food and is about to be transported to Tubo. I wonder if this batch of food can be transported to Miaojiang and help me with help? My virtuous brother also knows that the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. Miaojiang does not lack troops, but the food and grass will be reduced!"

"Ah--" Cui Yuyan didn't expect that what Cui Yuzheng was thinking about was the batch of food and grass.
Chapter completed!
