The government jail, which was originally quite slack, was strictly guarded at this time, with three steps, one post, five steps, and dozens of torches illuminating this area, making this area as bright as day in the dark night. Moreover, the defense work here has been taken over by the troops under Li Ling. After all, the people who are locked in it are no longer ordinary prisoners, but more than a hundred Luotian Sect traitors with great ties.

Among them, the most important thing is naturally Li Tong, who was in the deepest part of the prison, who was originally only arranged for the death penalty, was imprisoned alone in the prison. His body was wrapped in chains, and his hands and feet were fixed on the thick walls around him. Not to mention struggling, he could not even move his neck and wrists. At the door of his prison, there were four burly generals with sharp eyes staring at him all the time, and it was really hard to fly.

When Li Ling came over, he saw this scene. He nodded slightly with satisfaction on his face. Then he waved his hand and asked the four subordinates to retreat several feet and give the space in the cell to himself. Only when Li Moyun was left waiting outside, he untied the chain and entered the cell.

Li Tong was wandering with her eyes open. When she heard the cell open, she stood in front of her without any reaction. Until she heard the familiar voice of her son, "Dad, I want to talk to you again." He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled coldly: "You are really a filial son. He actually captured your father alive with his own hands and imprisoned him in prison."

Faced with such ridicule, Li Ling could not see any uneasiness, and just looked at him calmly and said, "I have already explained it clearly before. Between loyalty and filial piety, I will choose loyalty. But my son is not the one who has no heart. I also want to save my father from this prison, so I will come to talk to you at this time."

"Ha, to put it nicely, I know what you want to ask, it's just that I want me to betray the Holy Church and give you our arrangements here and the hiding place of all the brothers!"

"That's right. I knew that the Luotian Sect would stir up storms in Huguang early in the morning, and that you would focus on Xiangfan. In this way, you must have been prepared here and have hidden a lot of power. With your father, the status of elders in the sect, these things must be clear, so I ask you to tell them truthfully."

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Tong replied coldly, and even closed his eyes again.

Li Ling was not angry at his reaction, but sighed and said, "Dad, have you not seen the reality clearly at this time? You and many of the brothers in the sect were captured alive by us. Do you think we will only imprison you like this without further interrogation?

"Soon, the prisoners will be interrogated in batches. Do you think how many of them can remain loyal and resist death in the face of all kinds of tortures by the government? Also, Dad, although I don't want to, if there is no better choice, I don't mind to torture you.

"As the elder of Luotian Sect, I believe you must have some understanding of the various means of the government. How much punishment do you think you can bear? My son is asking you now out of father-son relationship, but once someone else really comes to ask, they will not have much concern."

Li Tong frowned slightly, and he did underestimate his son's determination. He could hear that the other party's words were sincere and not intimidation. As long as he really refused to let him know, Li Ling would definitely use various means to force him.

After understanding this, he gave up the right idea of ​​silentness and opened his eyes again: "Aren't you afraid of being implicated? You are the official of the court, but I am the elder of the Luotian Sect. Once someone knows this relationship, I am afraid your future and even your life will be difficult to protect! So Ling'er, I think you should consider yourself and come to my Holy Sect, and I can guarantee you no harm!"

Li Ling smiled, and he didn't expect that his father would try to convince him at this time. After laughing, he said softly: "Dad, this is really not a problem for me, because except for my confidants, no one knows the relationship between you and me. Even if you shout at this time that you are my father, I'm afraid no one will believe you, so don't want to use this relationship to threaten me.

"And I have also said that if you cannot make an explanation this time, I don't mind being a disobedient person and someone torture you. You have no martial arts and are not strong enough. If you really suffer torture from the government, I am really worried that you will be... This is really not what I want to see, nor is it what my sister wants to see."

When he heard him mention Li Le'er, Li Tong's expression obviously changed: "How did you do to them?"

Li Ling seemed to feel a little inappropriate, but he couldn't catch the problem for a while, so he casually said, "Don't worry, she is my sister and Tangtang is my niece. I will not treat them badly. I have placed them in the city's inn."

Li Tong's expression, which had just been a little relaxed, suddenly became tight, but he was quickly forced to control it. Because of the light in the prison, Li Ling really didn't notice it, but just followed his own thoughts: "Dad, you are also my relative, and I want to place you well in this way. As long as you are willing to cooperate and explain everything, I will be able to keep you safe!

"Please tell me what their plans are for our family and where they are hiding now. My patience is limited and I don't have much time."

"I..." Li Tong seemed to be really moved. After all, he was facing his own son, but his loyalty to the Holy Church and his persistence in that illusory goal still made him unable to make a decision to betray him, and he only looked at his son in a tangled manner.

Seeing this, Li Ling felt that he should add some pressure to his father, and said, "Actually, even if you don't help, some of the Luotian traitors hidden in the city will soon be arrested. For example, Wang Zhenghe's family, who have close ties with you, may be yours, and those who have many contacts with the Wang family and you on weekdays are also very doubtful. I have already asked someone to go and capture them. And..."

He said a lot of corresponding arrangements in one breath, which made Li Tong's face even more gloomy, and there was a little surprise and uneasiness in his eyes when he looked at him. He did not expect that his son's sense of smell was so sharp and his behavior was so decisive that he took him down. Without much questioning, he had already attacked these suspicious people directly.

What made him even more uneasy was that the series of actions of the government would inevitably make other people in the Holy Church feel a strong threat, and thus initiate the matter early. By then...

After he became calm, Li Tong looked at his son: "It seems that you are determined to force me this time, and you don't even care about the last father-son family relationship?"

"Whether you talk about family affection is not up to me, but you." Li Ling looked at him decisively and said, "Dad, I have given you enough opportunities, whether it was at home or now. As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything is easy to say. Otherwise, even if you are father and son, you are officials and bandits. For the sake of the people of the world, even if you are despised, I can only give up the righteousness and give up the small righteousness."

"What about your sister? Don't you think about her? Once she knows the truth, how will she deal with herself in the future?" Li Tong was really panicked, and asked angrily on her face.

Li Ling frowned again, the doubts in his heart just now resurrected, and this time the feeling was even more obvious. Why did his father care about his sister so much? It was far more than his son and himself? This seemed unreasonable.

Because according to the current concept of favoring boys over girls in this era, his son is the person he cares about the most, but in fact? Even though he is imprisoned, he still cares more about what his sister would think and whether she is safe now... In contrast, as a father, he has never asked about his sister Yue'er, and it seems that he has forgotten her sister.

Also, if you think about it carefully, the previous ones are even more doubtful.

Because of his sister's experience in the Wei family, he used the power of the Luotian Sect to blatantly attack Jiangbei County and killed all the Wei family. That was a major rebellion, and he was so arrogant? This still does not match his identity.

Both his children, Li Tong left himself and his sister at home many years ago. He didn't even care about his own life and death. He only focused on his own rebellion. He only attached so much importance to his sister. What kind of secret is hidden in this?

After a lifetime of doubt, Li Ling looked at his father with a little more scrutiny and guarding, but said calmly: "At least she doesn't know all this yet, nor do she know that you are from the Luotian Sect. So for her, you should cooperate with me and explain everything. What plans do you have and where are they hiding?

"I can see that you are delaying time, just like before. Maybe they will start early after knowing that you are arrested. But I have already started to prepare. The soldiers and horses outside the city will arrive soon. I can tell you with certainty that you cannot succeed!"

Looking at his son's confident look, Li Tong finally shook himself. After pondering for a while with a tangled face, he slowly said: "I can tell you the truth, but you have to promise me something first."

"you say."

"I want you to send your sister out of Xiangfan first!"

"Yes! I will arrange for them to leave tomorrow." Li Ling agreed immediately. This was what he wanted to do. But Li Tong said: "No, we must send them away tonight. I will see them leave safely with my own eyes, and then I will tell you everything I know!"

"Tonight, they have all rested, and the city is still peaceful, so don't rush for a moment, right?" Li Ling frowned.
