Xue Chen chuckled and said, "That won't do. I have already entered the Sun Moon Imperial City and am responsible for guarding the safety of the Imperial City. If you, Hall Master, trespass into the Imperial City today and do something inappropriate, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty."
"Brother Xue has already entered the Imperial City?" Jing Hongchen was slightly stunned and said, "I do have something to deal with today, so please give me some convenience, Brother Xue."
Xue Chen said, "If you have any important matters, you can tell me. If it's just a small favor, I can do my best to help."
Jing Hongchen made a long story short and told Xue Chen that the royal patrol team had captured Xiao Hongchen.
Xue Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "The royal patrol team is too presumptuous. Hall Master, don't worry. I will take you to seek justice."
……
Royal picket, torture chamber.
Xiao Hongchen was pushed into the interrogation room by the middle-aged man, where three Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor were already waiting for him.
The middle-aged man said to the four people: "I have brought the person here. This guy is the one who seriously injured Wang Shaojie."
A soul king rubbed his hands and said, "Is it him? Then let him have a taste of what it's like to peel a dragon pillar today."
Xiao Hongchen was stunned.
They actually want to torture me?
Do they know who they are?
"Assholes, you guys..."
He opened his mouth to yell, but the sound was blocked by the silencer soul guide in front of him.
Another Soul Emperor frowned and said, "Why did you seal his mouth? We won't be able to hear his beautiful screams for a while."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "This kid just confessed everything, and then he started to insult the royal family and even insulted Your Majesty. If we let him continue to curse like this, it will have a bad impact."
"Besides, I'm tired of hearing so many screams. Seeing his painful expression is a change of pace."
As he said this, he glanced at Xiao Hongchen.
A chill rushed straight to Xiao Hongchen's spine.
He now knew that the middle-aged man's previous respect for him was all fake.
The other party really wants to harm me.
Xiao Hongchen's body was placed on a metal cross, and the cold touch made him feel inexplicably fearful.
He wanted to resist, but his soul power was restricted by the handcuffs and he could do nothing.
Now the only things that can protect him from harm are the few defensive soul guides he is wearing.
The middle-aged man stood aside and looked at Xiao Hongchen coldly.
He was naturally the spy arranged by Xu Tianran in the Royal Patrol Team. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered him to bring Xiao Hongchen back to the Royal Patrol Team for punishment, but the Royal Patrol Team naturally did not dare to do so.
This was the strategy they came up with. They asked the spy to arrange two groups of people, one to participate in the arrest and the other to be responsible for the interrogation.
Those involved in the arrest can know Xiao Hongchen's identity, but those responsible for the interrogation must not know it.
If there was a mistake here, the royal patrol team would naturally know that someone was trying to sow discord between them and the Hongchen family, but this spy still did it.
As long as Xiao Hongchen was really being tortured by the Royal Patrol Team, and he, the only participant, was dead and could not testify, what would it matter even if other people found out it was a frame-up?
No one can explain it clearly.
In another interrogation room, Huo Yuhao had a strange expression on his face.
Originally he was counting on Xiao Hongchen's backers to help him out, but how come in the blink of an eye, Xiao Hongchen himself was in trouble?
From this perspective, it is 120% certain that Xiao Hongchen was framed.
An evil smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.
He felt that this was a rare opportunity, a perfect chance for him to gain Jing Hongchen's trust, and the beginning of a fair transaction between him and Jing Hongchen.
Seeing his snickering expression, the Soul King who was interrogating him couldn't help but yelled, "Boy, I wonder how long you can keep pretending!"
"Yeah, I can't pretend anymore."
Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly and spoke in a weak tone.
Suddenly, he raised his head again and looked directly at the Soul King in front of him.
Million-year soul ring soul skill, soul shock.
Not only did it rely on Huo Yuhao's current Soul Emperor-level mental power, it also incorporated his use of the Body Sect's combat skills.
A soul shock of such power is enough to cause an ordinary soul king to lose consciousness for a few minutes without causing any backlash.
boom--
Several crisp sounds were heard, and all the monitoring soul guides on the wall were destroyed.
Huo Yuhao glanced around and saw that the remaining four Soul Kings also fell into a daze.
He removed the handcuffs and walked out of the torture room.
Tian Meng asked: "Yuhao...are you going to run away?"
Huo Yuhao said excitedly: "We can't just run away like this, we still have to go and rescue them."
Bingdi said calmly: "Are you going to save that guy?"
"Of course. After all, I was the one who schemed against him in the first place."
Huo Yuhao chuckled: "Also, I have a feeling that if I help him, there will be a lot of benefits."
"Then how do you plan to help? Break in by force? There are two Soul Emperors. Can you handle them?" asked the Ice Emperor.
Huo Yuhao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Burning in by force is not a good idea. I need a more high-profile method."
"Bingdi, I need you to come out and help me with a little favor."
The Ice Emperor was stunned: "You want me to take action?"
Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers and shook his head: “Not really, you don’t need to do anything.”
"You just need to help me hold the stage."
"Let's add some spice to the royal struggle of the Sun and Moon Empire."
Chapter 211: Rescue at the Right Time
Xiao Hongchen was chained to the Dragon-Stripping Pillar, a torture device. His originally handsome face had long since been distorted into a complex collection of negative emotions.
Resentment, rage, and a hint of confusion...
He glared at the middle-aged man with resentful eyes and cursed him, but every curse he uttered was wiped out by the silencer soul guide on his body.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen had already understood that all this was the other party's conspiracy.
All the respect shown by the middle-aged man before was just a disguise, the whole purpose of which was to lure him here.
Now, with his soul power restrained by handcuffs, he can only be at the mercy of others.
But he didn't understand. It would have been fine if the Royal Patrol had taken him away, but they actually dared to torture him. Aren't they afraid of revenge from the Hongchen Family?
Another Soul Emperor looked at Xiao Hongchen with interest, with an evil grin on his lips.
"Don't tell me, even if you can't hear the screams, it's quite interesting to look at his expression."
A Soul King team member smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, second brother, I never noticed before that a person's expression can be so wonderful."
"Don't blame us. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for provoking the wrong person, Chen Xiaohong."
"Haha, a grown man would actually choose a name like this."
Chen Xiaohong?
Who is Chen Xiaohong?
Xiao Hongchen said angrily: "My name is Xiao Hongchen, you guys..."
No one could hear his voice, and the silencing soul guide was silently working.
Huo Yuhao, who was in another interrogation room, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and seemed to understand something in his heart.
He said to the Ice Emperor beside him: "Ice Emperor, are you ready?"
The Ice Emperor said calmly: "I don't care, it's up to you."
"Then Brother Hao will start his performance."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and he and Bingdi disappeared on the spot.
The fourth brother pressed the switch on the torture device behind Xiao Hongchen, and sharp spikes slowly emerged from the metal frame of the dragon-stripping pillar with a shrill buzzing sound.
Xiao Hongchen's face changed instantly. He naturally knew what it felt like when these thorns penetrated the flesh.
But at the moment when those spikes touched Xiao Hongchen's body, a protective golden light enveloped him, protecting him from the harm of the spikes.
"Is this... a trigger-type defensive soul guide?"
Several team members were stunned to see Xiao Hongchen actually withstanding the power of the torture instrument, but they soon realized that it was the defensive soul guide that was working, and greed appeared on their faces.
As the soul power is restrained by the Dragon Binding Lock of the sixth-level soul guide, the grade of this defensive soul guide cannot be low.
Xiao Hongchen's face became paler and paler. The defensive soul guide was rapidly consuming his soul power. It wouldn't be long before his soul power was exhausted and he would suffer the same miserable fate.
He couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Could it be that Wang Shaojie’s background is so powerful that the royal family is really going to take action against him for his sake?
Soon, Xiao Hongchen's soul power was exhausted, and the first spike pierced his back, and blood oozed out.
Although he has the cultivation level of a Soul King, all his strength comes from soul guides, and his physical fitness is far inferior to that of Huo Yuhao. These spikes can easily destroy his body.
At this moment, Xu Mochen, the captain of the Royal Patrol Team, was watching the soul guide display screen in his office. On it were images transmitted from the monitoring soul guide devices in the two interrogation rooms.
At the moment, his attention was focused on Xiao Hongchen's interrogation room. He casually glanced at the room where Huo Yuhao was and frowned: "Why is the surveillance gone? What happened in that room?"
But Xu Mochen didn't have time to think about it, because two strange figures broke into the interrogation room where Xiao Hongchen was.
boom--
The door of the interrogation room was smashed open by a huge force, and hit the fourth man who was controlling the torture instruments behind Xiao Hongchen.
The fourth brother couldn't dodge in time and was knocked against the wall.
