From then on, someone came to whip him every hour, leaving Qin Zheng with new and old wounds, and his body was almost completely scratched.
Someone would forcefully stuff rough food into her mouth on a regular basis to keep her alive.
Whenever she was so sleepy and painful that she passed out, someone would come and beat with gongs and drums, or pour cold water on her.
This happened three times.
Qin Zheng's eyes were in a trance, he could hardly see anything close to him, and his whole body was numb.
To the point of losing consciousness.
She didn't know how much time passed, until she thought she was going to die in this dungeon.
Suddenly one day, the jailer came forward and she was loosened, and her whole body fell to the ground like a rag.
The skin full of wounds touched the cold, moldy stone slab, and sharp pain hit him everywhere.
Every part of her body was hurting more than a needle prick, and every part was attacking, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She had no way to avoid the pain, and even her words seemed to involve even greater pain.
She stared blankly at the black stone roof of Tianlao, her mind filled with mist and nothingness.
She thought she would die, but she didn't.
From that day on, no one came to beat her anymore.
Instead, they brought meals for ordinary people.
The wounds on her body began to scab little by little, and her whole body ached and itched.
Ants came to her and climbed up her legs.
Her hands were numb at first, but then she slowly regained consciousness, and then she trembled and tried to catch the ants.
Her fingers were not in control.
It took her several attempts to pinch away an ant.
There is a toilet on her left, a place for food boxes in front of her, and a straw mat barely big enough for one person to lie behind.
That's all she's got these days.
There were blood stains on the straw mats and a fishy smell, and the toilet smelled fishy, mixed with the musty dampness around it.
This was an almost nauseating place.
But the time Qin Zheng looks forward to most every day is meal time.
Whenever it was time to eat, she would struggle, prop up her body with her elbows, and use her fingers to pull all the food into her mouth, eating nothing.
She still didn't know day and night, and lived in the dimness of only one kerosene wall lamp, not knowing what time or month it was.
She estimated the time when she would become hungry, and roughly guessed that she would give herself two meals a day.
So I began to silently remember how many meals I had eaten.
On the day when she counted the thirteenth meal, after eating, she fell into a deep sleep.
In her sleep, she felt someone gently caressing her cheek, which reminded her of the time when her father was still there when she was very young.
For a moment, she thought she was dreaming, but the feeling was so clear and real.
She struggled to open her eyes, and what came into view was that cold and hard face.
Seeing Qin Zheng wake up, Gao Zhang's expression did not change at all, but he withdrew his hand stroking her cheek.
His eyes were deep and gray, and his face was pale and thin, but it seemed that he was the one who had been tortured in prison for more than ten days.
His lips moved, and finally he asked hoarsely: "I just want to ask you one thing, please tell me."
Qin Zheng closed his eyes, stopped looking at this person, and nodded slightly.
Gao Zhang suddenly stood up, turned his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Tell me, why did you do this to me?"
Qin Zheng struggled to make a little sound and moved his throat a few times, but because it had been useless for too long, he finally made a hoarse sound, like a stone grinding against gravel: "Do you still remember that day when we entered the city and you stood on the tower?
Come on, shall I see you under the tower?"
Gao Zhang nodded: "Remember."
Qin Zheng tried his best to smile and said: "My father, he died there, on that bluestone slab.
When he died, I stood in that position, looking up at you on the tower."
Gao Zhang heard her trembling and weak words, but they were like thunder.
He felt his ears roaring, and his whole body felt like he had fallen into a hell for ten thousand years.

He didn't know how to react for a moment.
He didn't need to say much, he already understood.
He had only gone up to that tower twice.
Once when he was attacking and massacring the city, he stood on the tower and drew the bow with his own hands, and once when he led Qin Zheng into the city.
I especially remember that during the first siege and massacre, he stood on top of the city wall while people below were fleeing like ants.
There was once a bride wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress, who stood out among the fleeing refugees.
Her clothes were flying, she was tall and stubborn, and she had a lonely figure.
In the midst of that chaos, she carried her father on her back without hesitation, bending down to escape, as if this hellish killing was never in her heart.
Standing on a high place, he looked down at her cold face and felt unreasonable annoyance.
He once sneered and drew his bow to shoot, hoping that the woman would die under his arrow.
Everything suddenly came to light at this moment.
When he first met Qin Zheng, he felt as if he had seen her before, as if he had seen this stubborn woman before.
He narrowed his eyes, paused suddenly, and suddenly understood Qin Zheng's father actually died under his long bow.
Gao Zhang turned his stiff body around with difficulty and looked down at the dying Qin Zheng on the ground, with despair and gloom in his eyes.
His cold lips slowly revealed a sarcastic smile, and while nodding, he said in a low voice: "I understand."
This place was so suffocating for him that he could hardly stay for a moment and left as if running away.
As he walked away, his righteous words from the past echoed in his mind.
"As a child, everything comes from your parents.
If your parents are killed, your children will naturally want to avenge them."
"Since you are my woman, the revenge for killing your father is mine.
One day I will avenge this bloody revenge for you.
I will make that person unable to survive and die, and suffer so much pain and regret."
He wanted to laugh wildly and mock his former self, but he couldn't laugh.
But it turns out that the enemy who killed his father was actually Gao Zhang himself.
In fact, she didn't have to do anything, but she had already put her enemy in a place of eternal damnation, and he would never recover.
After Gao Zhang came and left that day, he never came again.
However, an old man dressed strangely appeared in the prison.
His whole body was wrapped tightly in white cloth, giving people the impression that his body was to be wrapped and buried.
It feels like even the head is covered with a white cloth, only two eyes are exposed.
One look at those eyes makes people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if the eyes are full of evil and coldness.
After the man stood in front of the cell door for a while, he walked up to Qin Zheng, stretched out his skinny fingers with long nails, forcibly opened Qin Zheng's mouth, and fed her a pill.
Qin Zheng did not resist and swallowed the pill.
The old man looked at Qin Zheng for a moment and then left.
After the old man left, Qin Zheng forced herself to spit out the pill secretly, but she still felt nauseated and uncomfortable.
She carefully paid attention to whether there were any changes in her body, but everything was as usual and she did not feel any discomfort.
So she could only keep this matter in her heart.
The days passed as usual, and the jailer did not torture Qin Zheng again, and even brought her some medicine to replace it.
However, most of the scars on her body have scabbed over, so she just needs to be careful.
The jailer knew that Qin Zheng was a woman.
Occasionally when they drank and chatted, they would talk about Qin Zheng, saying that this woman was completely ruined, her body was ruined, she would have many scars on her body, and perhaps no man would want her in this life.
Some people say that it is impossible to leave here alive, so what is the point of getting married?
They thought she was asleep, but she was not asleep at all, she just closed her eyes to rest her mind.
She stared blankly at the moldy stone top, sometimes thinking of some things and people in the past.
She touched her inner thigh without any trace, where a blade was still intact.
The knife is small and as thin as a cicada's wing. 55624otgt prince romantic It was given by a young man when he said goodbye.

He said you should protect yourself.
This is a boy who brings her warmth.
She also believed in him.
She believed that one day, he would ride a horse and hold up a sword and spear to drive those people out of the country of Great Yan.
From then on, no one would be able to burn, kill, and loot in this land.
But she didn't know at this time that Lu Fang was actually in a difficult situation now.
In these days, the war situation in Dayan changed dramatically.
Gao Zhang successively sent out several generals around him to cut off the rescue routes of General Pingding, General Zhenxi, General Zuotong, and General Anle respectively.
Maybe some of them really wanted to save but were actually trapped, or maybe they just gave in half-heartedly.
In short, no one could come to help Lu Fang.
At this time, the emperor was still trapped in Miryang.
Although there were only a few thousand men and horses trapped in Miryang, he looked frightened.
Princess Yunruo, the emperor's sister, then came up with an idea and ordered the generals to be summoned to rescue him.
The problem was that the generals had too much to take care of themselves.
At this time, there were 60,000 elite Nanman soldiers in front of Lu Fang, and an army of 100,000 Western wild wolves and tigers behind them, attacking from both sides.
However, the place where he was trapped was a vast plain with no shelter or hiding place.
In this kind of realm, no matter how many strategies you have, it will be difficult to execute.
In this way, after several battles over more than 20 days, we lost many troops and generals, and our morale suffered a great loss.
At this moment, He Xiao sent a letter saying that Meng Nanting was ambitious and difficult to tame, and he might be suspected of defecting to the Southern Barbarians.
Just a few days after receiving this letter, Meng Nanting raised his troops and attacked Miryang while the generals were trapped.
After several twists and turns in Miryang, the city was short of supplies and the soldiers were tired, but Meng Nanting was full of vigor.
After this attack, Miryang was captured within a few days, and the emperor was placed under house arrest.
A man came to threaten the emperor with orders. princes.
At this time, the Southern Barbarian army that besieged the generals had retreated.
They were about to rescue Lu Fang when they were summoned by Meng Nanting.
They must come, otherwise the emperor's life would be in danger.
So a group of people struggled between the emperor and Lu Fang.
In the end, each group had half, such as General An Ding and General Zhenxi.
These people were always close to the Lu family and came south without hesitation to reinforce Lu Fang. , and others, some were afraid that Lu Fang would pose a threat to themselves in the future, and some were really loyal to the emperor and were afraid of attracting notoriety behind him, so they all ran to Miryang.
At this time, the battle situation in Dayan suddenly changed and became a five-layer sandwich structure.
That is, the Nanman Army and the West Field Army attacked the road from north to south and released 50,000 Lujia troops.
The 10,000 remaining Lujia troops led by Ba Gaitian came from the south. came to attack the Xiye Army, while the Dayan Army led by the pacifying general Su Jing and others attacked the Nanman Army from the north.
The five-level long queue came down and occupied almost half of the plain of Dayan.
For a while, the people around them complained endlessly.
This war is fought every day.
When will it end?
In fact, once the long queue on the fifth floor was arranged, the situation became much clearer for Lu Fang.
He was taken care of in front and behind, and it was easy to perform during the fight.
But just when he was about to give it a try, an unexpected one suddenly appeared. news.
What happened to the group of Southern Barbarian troops that originally besieged various generals but were suddenly withdrawn?
It turned out that they had gathered together and came in a mighty direction from the east, intending to attack Phoenix City.
Suddenly, the whole world was shocked.
Phoenix City is the only pure land in these war-torn years.
Due to hundreds of years of agreement, no one has ever dared to attack Phoenix City.
Now, Gao Zhang wanted to risk the disapproval of the world and sent Duo Hu and Gao Deng to lead his elite troops and march in.

As soon as this move came out, not to mention others, even the Southern Barbarian King was shocked.
He personally sent an urgent letter from 800 miles away to Gao Zhang, saying: No, no, if Phoenix City dies, it will not be revived within ten years of Great Yan, and it will no longer be of use to our Southern Barbarians.
But Gao Zhang seemed to have lost his mind and replied: If you can't get it, destroy it.
At this time, He Xiao frowned for a long time after receiving the news, and then discussed with the elders and made some arrangements.
At this moment, Meng Nanting defected before the battle, Lu Fang had no time to take care of himself, and Phoenix City had no choice but to protect itself.
So on the way to Phoenix City, Duohu and Gao Deng encountered many obstacles.
Group after group of killers and dead soldiers pounced on them like moths striking an egg against a stone.
Every night, assassins tried to take the lives of Gordon and Duohu.
They could only set up a defensive line like a dragnet around them.
However, there were still a few times when assassins broke in and Duohu was seriously injured and almost died. .
Seeing this, Gao Deng had no choice but to order people to send Duo Hu back and attack Phoenix City alone.
At the same time, he recruited all the masters among the generals to his side to save his life.
Gordon was frightened and resentful, and wanted to kill the people to vent his hatred, but he didn't expect that He Xiao had already made arrangements, and all the people west of Phoenix City were evacuated in an orderly manner and took refuge in the place east of Phoenix City.
Apart from burning some houses and catching some chickens and ducks along the way, they gained very little.
As they continued to move forward, in addition to a group of killers, there began to appear some traps, some explosives and other objects buried underground, and some firearms that ignited if they accidentally stepped on them.
In short, not a single serious army was encountered, but the 70,000 elite soldiers they brought were gradually lost to 10,000.
Gordon gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
He was holding back his energy and was determined to capture Phoenix City and show these cunning and treacherous Phoenix people how powerful Gordon was.
Only under the butcher's knife do they know how to obey.
So, with Gordon's insistence, he finally arrived at the gate of Phoenix City on such a bloody dusk with the setting sun.
The soldiers behind him were exhausted mentally and physically from the whole journey.
They were obviously not fighting, but they were still worse than fighting.
Be tired.
But Gordon looked at the majestic city wall and smiled bloodthirstyly: "This time, it's finally your turn."
Above the city gate, He Xiao put away his resplendent folding fan, looked at the setting sun in the distance with a heavy expression, smiled, and said, "Let's start defending the city."
The days to come will definitely be difficult.
But He Xiao was not afraid, he knew that all this would eventually have a good outcome.
On this evening when He Xiao was standing on the city wall, Lu Fang was also standing outside the military camp, looking at the setting sun in the distance with his hands behind his hands.
Counting the time, Gordon's army must have arrived at Phoenix City.
Phoenix City is in a crisis that is rare in a century.
On his side, he was still blocked by the Nishino Army and was unable to go for reinforcements.
The fighting style of this Nishino army is strange.
They don't really fight, but just fight.
If you take a step forward, they will take a step back.
If you take a step back, they will take a step forward.
I really don’t know what their plans are.
So under this situation, Lu Jiajun was trapped here for life.
And the mutual help he agreed with He Xiao was not just a gentleman's promise, it must be fulfilled.
He Xiao's Phoenix City is also related to Dayan's people's livelihood in the future and the foundation of Dayan's resurgence.
If Phoenix City is really destroyed, this Great Flame will be desolate for ten years and all life will be devastated.
He closed his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he felt like a trapped animal.
Is this Gao Zhang’s desperate counterattack?
Lu Fang thought of Qin Zheng again.
It has been nearly a month and there has been no news.
Judging from Gao Zhang's crazy combat deployment, he had a premonition that Qin Zheng's situation must be bad.

Clenching his fists, Lu Fang took a deep breath.
No matter how difficult the future is, he will always go out step by step.
Just when he turned his head and was about to go back, he heard a report coming from his subordinates: "There is a man who claims to be an old acquaintance of the general and has come to see the general." gd1806102:
