Chapter 697: Ye Lu's Crisis
"On the way back last time, didn't my uncle ask me to inquire about Ye Lu?" Tang Wenya said.
Wei Qing nodded, his expression moved, and asked, "Is there any news?"
Tang Wenya's expression was a little unnatural, she thought for a while, and said, "Yes, Ye Lu is probably in danger." ”
Wei Qing frowned, he was not optimistic about Ye Lu's affairs, he wanted to remind him when he was in the border city before, but until he left, Wei Qing couldn't say anything.
Therefore, on the way to the Divine Dynasty, Wei Qing asked Tang Wenya to inquire about Ye Lu's condition.
"What's going on?" Wei Qing asked in a deep voice.
Tang Wenya sighed and said: "The girl that Ye Lu likes is the daughter of a loose cultivator, named Ge Qinqin, her cultivation is also good, she has reached the Yuan infant stage, the two are in love, and they have already made a private decision for life. It's just that Prime Minister Ye Cheng has always opposed this marriage. ”
After a pause, she said again: "More than ten years ago, Ye Lu and Prime Minister Ye Cheng had a quarrel because of this matter, and it almost caused a sensation in the entire Divine Dynasty at that time. Later, Prime Minister Ye Cheng was also afraid that things would make too much trouble, so he compromised and made an agreement with Ye Lu for three chapters, so that Ye Lu went to protect the border city. ”
"Originally, it was nothing, but in the days when Ye Lu left, Prime Minister Ye asked his father for marriage many times, and married the eldest princess, that is, my sister Tang Wenliang, to Ye Lu. ”
"No, my father actually agreed, and on the day Ye Lu came back, he issued a holy decree to directly give the marriage, during which I happened to leave the Divine Dynasty to find you, uncle, and I didn't know at this time. ”
When Ye Lu came back, he was stunned. If it is an ordinary monk, three wives and four concubines are nothing, but the identity of the princess of the Divine Dynasty is too special, how can she allow three wives and four concubines to be a concubine, so Ye Lu directly refused. ”
"Now, it has long been put in prison, and the situation is not optimistic. ”
Hearing her telling, Wei Qing's brows also furrowed deeply, when it came to the current Dynasty God Emperor, this matter was indeed a bit tricky.
"Can you arrange for me to meet him?" Wei Qing asked.
Tang Wenya pondered for a while, and said: "Give me a day, I'll think of a way, now at the critical time before the mission, don't do anything out of the ordinary, and mess up the matter of entering the Mulong Pool, it's not good for you." ”
Wei Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look, and I don't have other ideas." ”
What he was going to was a prison, not to mention that it was heavily guarded, and even if it didn't, he didn't dare to make an assertion.
Tang Wenya nodded, said goodbye and left.
Wei Qing stood in place and pondered for a moment, and then the figure of a woman came to his mind, shook his head, and let out a soft sigh.
The day passed quickly, and in the middle of the next day, Tang Wenya returned here, and in the afternoon, the two left together, and the destination was naturally the prison.
The Princess's Mansion in the Heavenly Prison was not far away, just below the Imperial Court, and it took the two of them half an hour to reach their destination.
From a distance, Wei Qing saw that a huge formation was shining with brilliant light. When he got closer, a powerful aura rushed to his face, and he forcibly suppressed his cultivation to the Jindan stage.
This made Wei Qing's face change, and when he looked at Tang Wenya, his expression was calm, and it had no effect at all.
"The formation here can weaken the monk's cultivation, and the higher the cultivation, the more powerful the weakening. However, as long as you are enjoying the luck of the gods, you will not be affected. Seeing Wei Qing's face turned pale, Tang Wenya explained.
Wei Qing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and nodded.
The heavenly prison occupies a huge area, and a city wall of more than ten zhang high has been built around it, and every brick of the city wall is engraved with esoteric runes.
From a distance, it looks like a city within a city.
There is only one entrance to the dungeon, which is facing east.
The gates of the city were also very tall, and the two of them stood at the bottom of the city, looking extremely small.
On the city wall, there are two teams of 100 soldiers, patrolling.
Seeing someone approaching, a man hurriedly walked over at the city gate.
This man was about forty years old, with a long beard and an indifferent expression. That is, when he saw Tang Wenya, his pupils contracted slightly.
"I've seen the third princess!" the person bowed slightly towards Tang Wenya and greeted.
"Well, let's take a look at Ye Lu. As he spoke, he threw out a token.
The man took the token, didn't talk nonsense, just glanced at it, handed it back, and after saluting respectfully, he got out of the way.
Subsequently, Tang Wenya took Wei Qing into the prison.
"The Heavenly Prison is a tower-like magic weapon, which is placed upside down in this inner city, with a total of nine floors. Tang Wenya brought Wei Qing to the central position, and a huge pentagonal building appeared in view, with only two floors.
The distance between this building and the city wall is tens of thousands of zhang, and the middle is extremely empty, and it is extremely difficult to escape from this prison without being discovered.
Entering the building, there are a total of three levels, even if you want to bring people in as Tang Wenya, you still need the hand of the God Emperor.
It took the two of them several hours to enter the center of the pentagonal building.
"Ye Lu is on the second basement floor, you can go in with the token, I'll guard outside. Tang Wenya handed the token to Wei Qing and said.
Wei Qing took the token, didn't say much, and left directly.
On the second floor of the basement, there were a hundred cells, and when Wei Qing entered them, he was stopped by a team of patrolling jailers, and the cultivation of these people was not weak.
"What are you doing?" asked the jailer who took the lead when he saw Wei Qing come in, with a look of displeasure on his face.
Wei Qing didn't talk nonsense, directly threw the token to the man, and said lightly: "I'll come to see Ye Lu." ”
After the jailer saw the token, his expression changed, he carefully looked back and forth, and after confirming that the token was correct, he said with a smile: "This lord, if you come to see Ye Lu, he is on the second floor, and I will take you over." You put the token away first. As he spoke, he respectfully handed back the token and nodded his head.
Wei Qing took the token, nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”
The jailer was busy with a few explanations from the few people behind him, and then took Wei Qing to the second floor, and it only took half an hour to find the cell where Ye Lu was.
Ye Lu's condition at this time was very poor, his long hair was scattered randomly, his eyes were staring straight at the corner of the wall, and there were scarred wounds on his bare skin, some of which had already suppurated.
It's hard to imagine that even if he encounters the eighth-eyed giant of the Yuan Infant Stage, he still rushes out again and again, and Ye Lu, who is full of fearlessness and heroism, is now like this, as if he is dead.
"Your Excellency, you only have half an hour, and when the time comes, the little one will come again and take you out. ”
The jailer opened the door of the cell and let Wei Qing in by himself, then locked the door again and left.
