Chapter 124: Prison
"What did you do to make Lord Liao so angry." Xiao Qiang stood in front of the scarred young man with the torture instrument, frowning.
It's too heavy......
He looked back at the outside of the torture chamber, where his own entourage was guarding the door, and several other soldiers were sitting in the corner of the corridor with the cell guard, eating and drinking. He lowered his face, threw away the whip in his hand, dragged the iron chair on the side, unshackled Chen Zixiu and helped him sit down.
Chen Zixiu gasped in pain, and he couldn't wait to lie down to relieve the pain.
Xiao Qiang's face changed, she helped him up with one hand, lifted his torn clothes with the other hand, and pulled down his pants. Chen Zixiu couldn't stop it, and he really didn't have the strength, so he only held the other party's strong and powerful arm to support him from slipping to the ground, but his face was already pale and faintly red, which was very embarrassing.
Seeing that the slender legs were red and swollen, all of which were bruises left by sticks and whips, and there were dark red blood stains, Xiao Qiang was furious!
"Those brutes!"
He carefully helped Chen Zixiu to lie on the armrest of the iron chair, took out a bottle of healing plaster on his body, tore a piece of material from the hem of his middle coat, went to the tea prepared by the jailer on the side to soak the clothes, wiped him roughly, wiped the stains off, and began to give him medicine.
Chen Zixiu's body trembled slightly, her eyes were a little blurry, and for some reason she suddenly thought of that person.
He also used to drug himself after he was injured. It's just that those soft and smooth hands are much more gentle and dexterous than Xiao Qiang's calloused hands. Moreover, those injuries were actually caused by the person himself, and compared with the feeling of dying now, he suddenly felt that the sin he suffered in the palace before was nothing at all!
It turns out that the pain also depends on comparison to know that the person is not really bad to himself, right?
Chen Zixiu smiled bitterly at herself, and Xiao Qiang suddenly stopped her movements and handed him the ointment.
"The rest...... You, that, paint yourself! β
Chen Zixiu looked up at him in surprise, only to see that the other party was slightly blushing, very embarrassed, and his brows were knotted, with an angry, sad and sad face.
What's going on? Is his injury too bad?
Touching Chen Zixiu's inquiring sight, Xiao Qiang pursed her face, her lips curled, and said, "Don't think about it, I'll find a way to take you out!" β
Chen Zixiu blinked, "That's good." I thought you were in league with them. β
"What the hell? The division of the military and the government, I am not all the way with those weak chickens. Xiao Qiang snorted disdainfully, and asked again, "By the way, what are you doing here?" Why is the good end ...... The man let you out? Or did you run away on your own? β
Chen Zixiu rolled her eyes. Can you escape? When you go home to visit, you have to ask for leave and apply for approval, and you must return to the palace before the palace door is locked, otherwise what if someone goes crazy and destroys his family all of a sudden? Although he has no feelings for his father and mother-in-law, he is innocent of his younger brothers and sisters at home, and his aunt is also there, how dare he mess around.
From the other party's expression, it was clear that he did not flee without permission, Xiao Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still suspicious in her heart. Will the emperor let him go?
"Is it really ancestor worship?"
"Hmm. I'm going to try it out next year. Chen Zixiu lied. In fact, it is not a lie, he does want to participate in the scientific expedition. Even if he has a headache with books and writes articles that are even more naΓ―ve than Lin Echo's, he wants to try it.
Xiao Qiang stared at him with a hellish expression, and suddenly listened carefully to the movement outside, bent down and picked up the whip on the ground and struck it on a leather bag he had brought.
The sound of the leather whip whipping on the flesh was very peculiar, Chen Zixiu was startled, and the wound that had just been medicated hurt again. It was as if the whip had been whipped on him.
Outside the corridor, there was the sound of the cell boss and a few jailers and soldiers slashing and guessing the code, and Xiao Qiang whipped two more times before throwing the whip.
Seeing that he was holding the wound medicine in his hand and did not move, Xiao Qiang frowned. "Why don't you take the medicine? There is an infection that is not easy to get better. Then he thought of something, and hurriedly said, "If you are embarrassed, I won't look at it." He turned around and walked to the corner, with his back to him.
Chen Zixiu's mind was full of question marks, but he obediently slowly untied his clothes, checked them up and down, and painted several bruises on his chest.
Xiao Qiang fed him water and snacks that he had secretly brought in, and said comfortingly: "Prepare, I'll take you out at night." Then he shackled him as he was, and left with his own soldiers. Worship ancestors or something, he doesn't believe it at all. However, because of the identity of the other party, since he knows that it is a big crime to leave it alone, what if the one who finds out a day later blames himself for not saving himself when he sees death and spills all his anger on his family? Dozens of people from the Xiao family are all in the capital.
The cell boss came in and searched it, saw that the shackles and everything were tightly tied, patted his little face, and left with a sly smile.
The torch gradually went out, and a glimmer of light in Chen Zixiu's eyes gradually dimmed.
He didn't dare to tell Xiao Qiang that he wouldn't stay here for long. Thinking of Zhou Quan, when they left, he told himself to wait in peace, although he was a little relieved, but he didn't have much hope for them.
They parted ways with themselves after entering the city and finding an inn to stay in. Because when they left the capital before, those secret guards were accompanied by dart masters who pretended to be dart masters, and they naturally turned around when they arrived at the place. Their procedures are complete and legal, and all the names and guides are true and effective, and the government can't catch them. That kind of skill......
Even Wang Ying, who was disguised as a small servant, and Mafu Tang Shishi, fled when they saw that the situation was not good.
Chen Zixiu smiled bitterly.
I don't know what Wen'an (embroidery) did this guy do, and he actually made the prefect angry like this! Take all your anger out on yourself! It seems that the snitch stole something more powerful than the booklet in Chenxi County. What exactly will it be......
Ren Chen Zixiu couldn't imagine that King Qi would rebel if he wanted to break his head! And what Wen Xiu stole was the correspondence they exchanged and conspired with.
That night, without waiting for Xiao Qiang to arrive, and without waiting for Zhou Quan's night attack, Chen Zixiu was suddenly taken away in a sack.
When he saw the light again, he was already in a palatial and luxurious room, and the restraints of his hands and feet had been removed.
Chen Zixiu rubbed his wrist and looked around in surprise, when he heard a lazy voice behind him:
"How? Beauty? This king's dome Yaohua is no worse than the small Zhenlong Palace, right? β
Chen Zixiu's body stiffened and slowly turned around.
Behind the half-hung powder blue gauze curtain in the inner room, a man whose face could not be seen was lazily reclining on the Luohan couch, his clothes were half open, and on his feet kneeled a naked man, his head resting in front of the man's waist, because he was facing away, he could not see the gender clearly. But looking at his posture and movements, accompanied by a strange sound of water, it is not difficult to guess what they are doing.
Chen Zixiu's pupils shrank.
