143. Chapter 143: This is Hell
"Parking. Jian Ye suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Back in the palace, I want to see someone." ”
Located in the most remote corner of the palace, the prison is built on a cliff wall, surrounded by rough waters, which can only be reached by a ladder that is narrow, and if you walk on it, you will fall into the rocky and turbulent waters below.
It is more than ten miles away from the palace, there are no houses along the way, and both sides are full of low thorns, no more than a year old child, but it is dense, even if a mouse wants to hide in it, it will be stabbed and bruised, not to mention a big living person.
There are also guards who are patrolling at all times, all men in black suits.
"Master, what are you doing in this place?" Jin Zhong looked around with some uneasiness.
"Do you need to explain the matter to you?" said Jinxi dissatisfied.
There is only one possibility to come here, that is, to meet a person who is firmly guarded by the Queen Mother, and who is also the deposed prince that everyone in this country knows but will not mention, and everyone will generally replace it with a 'person locked in a prison'.
However, Jinxi didn't understand what his master was doing when he saw this person.
Looking at the ladder hanging high on the opposite cliff and connected to this side, Jin Zhong almost fainted directly, so weak and can't help the wind, there are only a few sparse planks on it, and there are ropes on both sides to help a handful of passes, but as soon as the wind blows, the ladder is shaking constantly, and he doesn't have the courage to walk on it.
"That, master, we, really, do you want to pass from above?" Jin Zhong heard his teeth constantly fighting, as if it was extremely cold, and he couldn't control it, so his voice was also cold, and it was very funny to listen to it.
Jian Ye didn't look back, and said indifferently: "If you're afraid, stay here and wait for me to come back." ”
Jinxi is also afraid, but he is used to obeying Jian Ye's orders, his own master is not afraid of falling below and dying, and he is a slave, and he can't be afraid. Besides, it's impossible to really fall down and die, don't the guards here just have to go up and down this ladder every day?
Therefore, gritting his teeth and following closely behind Jian Ye, his palms were full of sweat, and every step was likely to fall below, his eyes looked directly at Jian Ye in front of him, he didn't dare to look down at the bottom, his calves were tense, and his heartbeat was sluggish. I can't look back to see if Jinzhong has followed.
Jin Zhong watched Jian Ye and his brother walk up the ladder, but he didn't have the courage to follow them at all, only feeling that their bodies were shaking all the time, and they might fall from the so-called bridge into the sea water below at any time, and they couldn't lift their legs heavily, so they had to stand in place in shame and wait for Jian Ye and Jin Xi to come back.
The ladder is not long, and soon it will be on the opposite side, Jian Ye is also afraid, but he knows that Meng Longhui will often pass from such a ladder, and every time it is fine, this so-called bridge, as long as you don't look under the bridge, don't think about the danger, and ignore the constant shaking, you will be fine if you are walking on a boat.
Jinxi landed on the edge of the cliff and felt that the ground under his feet was solid, so he quietly sighed, and looked back to see that his younger brother was standing on the other side stupidly, looking at this side with a stiff expression.
"Don't look at him, he's really scared, let him wait over there. Jian Ye said in a flat tone, and then showed the black-clothed man in a strong suit who was guarding the edge of the cliff the jade pendant he was wearing, this jade pendant was given by the Queen Mother, and it could pass anywhere in the palace.
The man in the black suit respectfully gave way, and another man in the same black suit led the way in front silently, and the three of them continued to move along a passage dug out of the cliff, no one spoke, the passage was very dry and clean.
Jin Zhong was a little surprised, in his imagination, the prison should be a very terrible place, but here, it doesn't seem to be what he imagined, but there is a wind blowing in the passage, blowing on the face There is an extremely uncomfortable cold breath, as if, this breath is slowly blowing up from the ground, with the breath of death.
Jin Zhong couldn't help but shudder, tightening his body, there was a strange feeling that they were walking towards hell step by step, towards death, towards hopeless darkness.
The passage was getting darker and darker, but there were night pearls on both sides, so that the light in the passage was dim and dim, unlike torches, this light showed no signs of life, and the smell of half-dead.
"Master, here, it's so strange. Jinxi whispered.
"Well, this is hell. Jian Ye said lightly, "There is no future, there is no hope, you can only wait for death slowly, and the biggest punishment is that you are clearly hoping in front, but you are one step off." ”
The two of them spoke in a very low voice, and the two of them could hear the tone clearly, but in this passage, the voice was inexplicably clear, and there was an echo, as if a person was talking to himself, talking to himself.
"Well, smart, a smart man. A voice suddenly sounded, and the man in black in front of him suddenly stopped.
In front of it, there is a courtyard enclosed by the strongest iron fence, inside, there is everything, not dirty and messy at all, but exquisite and luxurious, the only thing lacking is that all the qiē, there are no secrets. A man in brocade clothes looked at the three of them with an exaggerated expression.
The man in black dressed respectfully bent over Jian Ye, and then retreated quietly, not knowing where he went, it seemed that he was retreating, and then retreating to a place where there was no light, or he simply hid himself in the light or dark.
I knew that he was somewhere nearby, but I couldn't see him at all, and I could hear his breathing, and here, I could only hear my own breathing, which rang in my ears very quickly.
Jinxi also knows martial arts, but he still doesn't react in a daze.
"Jian Ye has seen my uncle. Jian Ye said in a calm tone and hugged his hand politely.
Jiang Shiwei looked Jian Ye up and down, his eyes had already adapted to the current light, but he would not be able to see clearly under the bright sunlight. Under Jiang Shiwei's undisguised gaze, Jian Ye's expression was calm, and his body was also very relaxed, without tension or casualness.
"Well, it's a good-looking boy. Jiang Shiwei said in a casual tone, but the expression on his face was still exaggerated and terrifying, and he couldn't tell whether he was laughing or crying.
Jin Xi behind Jian Ye had already lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet, the clean and smooth stone slab, without the slightest feature, but it was better than the exaggerated face of the man in front of him, that face, he would have nightmares when he saw it, how could his expression be so exaggerated? !
Jian Ye said politely: "Uncle Xiao praises." ”
Jiang Shiwei slowly walked back to a table with fruit and sat down, picked up a piece of fruit with a pale and clean hand and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, with a lazy tone and an exaggerated expression, "You are Li Ting's son? ”
Jian Ye smiled and nodded.
Li Ting is Princess Jane's maiden name before she got married, and the Jiang Shiwei in front of her and the current emperor are cousins, among the three, his mother Li Ting is the youngest, because the Queen Mother likes this niece, so when she was a child, Li Wan often went in and out of the palace, and Jiang Shiwei and the current emperor have a harmonious and familiar relationship, Jiang Shiwei called his mother's maiden name before marriage There is nothing wrong with Jiang Shiwei calling his mother's maiden name before marriage.
"Yes, Jian Ye is the youngest in the family. Jian Ye replied very politely, it seemed that the one in front of him was not a waste prince, but a reigning emperor, and he was not in a prison that was guarded by the Queen Mother, but a certain courtyard of the palace, and his expression was very casual.
Jiang Shiwei nodded, "It looks quite pleasing to the eye, and it is somewhat similar to your future wife, but, speaking of which, your future wife is a very cunning and fox woman, and she is beautiful, and ice and snow are smart, I don't know if she found out how I entered the farm." ”
Jian Ye was slightly stunned in his heart, Jiang Shiwei was really a very confident guy, and he didn't hide that he had been to the farm, although Rong Qingyi had mentioned to him that he had seen Jiang Shiwei in the farm before, and when he heard Jiang Shiwei himself say it himself, he was still a little surprised in his eyes.
"You don't seem surprised?" Jiang Shiwei looked at Jian Ye curiously, and paused slightly, "Did that stinky girl tell you about my visit to the farm?" She promised me not to mention it, it seems that beautiful women are indeed not credible!"
Jian Ye smiled slightly, and said gently: "Jian Ye and Rong Qingyi are not familiar, and they have no interest in speaking alone, it's just that, in Jian Ye's eyes, the little uncle is an omnipotent person, what is there to be surprised about going to the farm." ”
Jiang Shiwei raised his eyebrows, his exaggerated face twitched a little, after the nerves on his face were damaged, he would still make some expressions that he didn't make involuntarily, but when he appeared on his face, it was more like a twitch.
"You're a good talker. Jiang Shiwei said with satisfaction.
This is Jian Ye's true words. Jian Ye's tone was still calm, the smile on his face was also polite and thoughtful, and he continued respectfully and gently, "And the little cousin of the little uncle's family is really very likable, especially a pair of eyes, which is almost a reprint of the little uncle-"
Almost instantly, Jiang Shiwei's exaggerated face appeared less than a person away in front of Jian Ye, it seemed that he was still taboo about the iron fence in front of him, and he didn't want to get too close, but suddenly appeared in front of Jian Ye like this, with a cold wind, which still made Jian Ye's body tremble slightly.
However, soon Jian Ye regained his calm, and even Jiang Shiwei didn't notice Jian Ye's momentary gaffe just now.
"What are you talking about?!" Jiang Shiwei glared at Jian Ye fiercely.
