Chapter 652: Fighting against human power
When Zhengsheng heard this, his already weak body trembled slightly, as if he was hit by an invisible force. Then, he started coughing violently. "...cough, cough..." His voice was weak and powerless, and every cough seemed to use up the last bit of his strength, as if the candle of life was swaying and about to go out with each cough.
It was hard to imagine how cruel these warriors were. In this special period when the Eye Hunting Order was rampant, Masahiro's production of those fake God's Eyes undoubtedly touched the core interests of Tianling Fengxing. In their eyes, Masahiro was like a rebel. Stealing someone's money was like killing their parents. When he was caught, he naturally became the target of public criticism. It was no surprise that he suffered such cruel torture.
The three people who were secretly observing from the side were filled with righteous indignation when they saw this scene. The anger was burning in their hearts, and they wanted to rush out immediately to rescue Master Zhengsheng. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in their ears, "Damn... these guys in Tianling Fengxing actually resorted to lynching..." The voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and the anger was like a surging wave, which was about to tear open a hole in this oppressive atmosphere.
Paimong heard a voice beside her and answered without thinking, "Yeah, if we don't find a way to rescue him quickly..." Paimong suddenly realized something was wrong halfway through her words. She turned her head sharply, her eyes wide open, and was surprised to find that Xiao Gong had come here without her knowing when. She opened her mouth slightly and said in astonishment, "Hey! Xiao Gong, when did you..."
Before he could finish his words, Kong quickly reached out his hand and covered Paimon's mouth. His movements were swift and decisive, and his eyes revealed extreme tension and vigilance. In this dangerous environment, the slightest carelessness could expose one's whereabouts and bring disaster. Kong lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Be patient for now. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape unscathed." If they were discovered here and faced with heavy siege, even if they had extraordinary skills, they would be exhausted under the enemy's siege, so they had to be patient and wait for the right time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed as long as a year. After a while, Xiao Gong couldn't bear it any longer. She clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles turned white because of the force. Her body trembled slightly because of anger, like a volcano about to erupt. "Ahhhh - I can't stand it anymore. If Master Zhengsheng gets into trouble, the meaning of our coming here..." There was a hint of anxiety and fear in her voice. If they didn't hurry up, Master Zhengsheng's life would be in danger. If Master Zhengsheng got into trouble, all the efforts they had made to fight against the Eye Hunting Order for so long would be in vain.
Just when Xiao Gong was about to rush out regardless of everything, a roar came from a distance, "What are you guys doing!" The voice was like a huge bell, with unquestionable majesty, echoing in the cell. The voice was like a thunder, instantly breaking the oppressive silence. Seeing this, several people hurriedly continued to hide deeper. From the sound, they could tell that the person coming was definitely not easy to mess with, so it was better to stay away to avoid getting into trouble.
One of the warriors turned around and saw the person coming. He turned pale with fear, and his arrogant attitude disappeared instantly. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he could not speak clearly. He stammered, "Kujo...Kujo Sara-sama!" His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the long sword in his hand almost fell to the ground. His eyes were full of fear and awe. When the other person heard the name, he was like being cast under a spell. He quickly stopped what he was doing, his eyes were full of panic, and he said, "We just...took him a little lesson." He tried to justify his actions, but his voice was full of guilt.
Paimon looked at the person who came, and she was also very curious. There was a gleam of doubt in her eyes, and she whispered to herself: "Hey, who is that person?" To be able to make those warriors so scared, this person's identity must be extraordinary and not simple.
Xiao Gong heard what Paimon said, and quietly leaned close to her ear, and replied to her in a nearly inaudible voice, "It's Kujo Sara, the adopted son of the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo family, and also a general of the shogunate army. He actually came to a place like this..."
Xiao Gong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She never expected that Kujo Sara would appear in this dark cell. In her opinion, as a general of the shogunate army, Kujo Sara should be in the shogunate, planning and directing the war, not appearing in this place where prisoners are imprisoned.
Hearing Xiao Gong mention this name, Sora remembered that Kaedehara Manye seemed to have told him this name. He frowned slightly and tried to recall the scene at that time. At that time, Manye mentioned Kujo Sara when describing the situation of Inazuma. Sora said slowly: "I seem to have heard Manye mention it... He is also the executor of the Eye Hunting Order." Thinking of Manye's description of Kujo Sara, Sora couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Xiao Gong was blocked by several people, feeling a little angry. She stretched her neck like an anxious little bird, trying to see the appearance of Kujo Sara through the gap, muttering: "Get out of the way, let me see him." She was worried about Master Zhengsheng at the moment, hoping that he would not be beaten again. If Master Zhengsheng continued to be tortured like this, he might really become disabled, which she did not want to see anyway.
After listening to the two men's words, Kujo Sara took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Her eyes were cold and sharp, like a sharp blade in the cold winter, as if she could see through people's hearts. Then she looked at the two warriors and asked in a low and majestic voice: "The general has expressly prohibited the use of lynching, right? Did you know that?" Although her voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible majesty, as if every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
When one of the warriors heard this, he trembled like a leaf in a gust of wind. He quickly replied, "I know..." He lowered his head almost to the ground, not daring to look directly into Kujo Sara's eyes.
When Kujo Sara heard this, she severely reprimanded the two men, her voice full of anger and dissatisfaction: "If you are not ashamed of what you have done, you are not worthy of serving under Tenryo Bugyo!" Her eyes were as sharp as torches, as if she could see through the wrongdoings of the two warriors.
