Chapter 401: Chapter 263: Interrogating the Eunuchs

Upon saying this, he ordered the soldiers to begin clearing the ruins at the original site, and once it was organized, to remove all the stones and wood to other places.

...

The Qin family has numerous alternative residences, and Qin Yuesheng promptly led Ah Jiu and the others to another dwelling for temporary stay.

The injuries on Dong Zhou’s body were quickly controlled after Huang Ting provided a special healing ointment from West Qi Mountain Temple, and judging by the situation, he would fully recover in a few days.

"Young Master Qin, how do you plan to deal with these two?" Huang Ting asked, pointing at the two eunuchs on the ground.

"Wake them up and ask them what the current situation in Chang’an is." Qin Yuesheng poured Inner Strength into them, directly waking the pair.

The two eunuchs slowly opened their eyes, and upon seeing Qin Yuesheng and Huang Ting, they became alert instantly, attempting to leap up from the ground with a carp-like motion.

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yuesheng used Palm Force to press them heavily back down, subjugated by Qin Yuesheng’s Inner Strength, they could not move at all.

"You two have pursued all the way from Chang’an to Jiangnan, showing such perseverance." Qin Yuesheng said, "Is there some significant task you’re on? Anyway, you are my captives now, why not tell me?"

"You’re still alive!" The eunuch was greatly surprised upon seeing Qin Yuesheng.

If Yuan Wudi clashed with him and Qin Yuesheng is still standing here, does that mean Yuan Wudi was defeated?

Considering that even someone as strong as Yuan Wudi was defeated by this man, the two couldn’t help but shudder.

When Qin Yuesheng fought Yuan Wudi, Huang Ting had already knocked them out, so they were unaware of what transpired afterwards.

"Of course I’m alive. Now the question is, do you two want to live?" Qin Yuesheng held the Dragon-Slaying Sword and Black Dragon Sword close to their necks and sternly shouted, "Tell me why the court went to such lengths to send people to capture the Ninth Princess?"

"Humph! I’m not one to fear death! Don’t even think that you can force information out of me!"

"Indeed, I’ve long disregarded life and death; if you don’t kill me, you’re my grandson!"

The two eunuchs stubbornly stared angrily at Qin Yuesheng, appearing very eager to provoke him into killing them.

Covered by Qin Yuesheng’s Inner Strength, they couldn’t mobilize their Inner Power, even to the point of being unable to sever their own meridians to die.

Huang Ting chuckled softly, "No need to rush, Young Master Qin. Regarding making people speak the truth, my West Qi Mountain Temple has a few techniques. How about letting me handle this interrogation?"

Knowing the vast and mysterious powers of magic, Qin Yuesheng nodded and stepped aside to watch how Huang Ting would perform his techniques.

Huang Ting took a roll of cowhide cloth from a leopard-skin pouch at his waist, and upon opening it, there were many silver needles of varying lengths and thicknesses inside, with the thickest almost the size of a person’s little finger.

Under Qin Yuesheng’s suppression, the two eunuchs were immobile, which made it easier for Huang Ting to employ his skills.

He took each silver needle, inserting them into various acupuncture points on the eunuch’s body, quickly turning him into a porcupine.

The eunuch screamed and called out, writhing in pain, twitching one moment, grimacing the next, contorting with soreness, and even his nose ran uncontrollably.

"In the realm of ghosts and night, myriad paths exist with exceptional strange practices, crossing life and death, seeking magic to alter destiny." Huang Ting sat cross-legged beside the eunuch, murmuring words that were indecipherable.

Qin Yuesheng suddenly felt a sharp drop in temperature around him, causing a shiver.

This chill affected not just the body but seemed to seep into the soul, creating a bone-chilling, soul-freezing cold.

"Hiss!" Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, and upon exhaling, he found visible white mist emerging from his mouth, indicating how much the temperature had dropped.

At the same time, the eunuch, filled with silver needles, suddenly began to tremble, and a faint blue soul floated out from his body, hovering above him.

"Young Master Qin, there’s little time, quickly ask your questions, or it’ll be too late." Huang Ting, sweating heavily, implored with a strained expression.

Qin Yuesheng asked the eunuch’s soul, "Why does the court prioritize the Ninth Princess so much that they send Inner Power Realm level eight masters?"

"I don’t know, but the Ten Attendants highly value her, and the Seven Star Bureau risked sending two hundred men across the land to transfer the Ninth Princess. Upon learning this, the Ten Attendants dispatched every master available from Chang’an, ignoring even the collective uprising of the thirty-six rebels, which has allowed the rebels to be as rampant as they are today, almost suppressing the Great Tang’s prestige."

Qin Yuesheng suddenly understood why Chang’an had been behaving unusually discreetly since the thirty-six rebels’ uprising, showing no sign of mobilizing forces.

The Ten Attendants were secretly using Chang’an’s resources for their own affairs, which explains this puzzling situation.

"The Ten Attendants are ignoring the rebels to capture the Ninth Princess; there must be a significant secret behind this." Qin Yuesheng was about to ask more questions.

Suddenly, a mysterious cold wind rose around him, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
