I got into the cart, and the commander retreated to the left and right, and led the horses himself, and the two of them walked in front, and I sat on the cart and looked around and listened to them.

The dungeon is paved with blue bricks, and the walls on both sides are newly filled with torches. We walked on the road with a car and two people, and we didn't feel crowded at all. After walking for a short time, the front gradually opened up, but it was getting hotter and hotter, and the stench was getting bigger and bigger, and I felt sick to the thought that it was the smell of rotting corpses.

Gradually, iron cages began to appear on the side of the road, each cage was hung with iron chains, the end of the iron chain, deeply embedded in the stone wall, the ground was covered with damp straw, some of the straw was rotten, black and sticky to the ground, from time to time there were rats infested in the ground cage.

I looked at these horrible cages and couldn't imagine that I had lived in them for more than ten days. Looking at the back of Zhou Sinian in front of him, a chill passed through his heart.

On the opposite side of the cage, there are huts, and standing at the door, you can smell a pungent smell of medicine, which is spicy and makes people want to shed tears.

Further on, there was an underground river, there were a few canoes in the river, and in the boat, there was actually a half-eaten flatbread, in such a hot place, the color of the flatbread was very fresh, and it looked like it was thrown here not long ago. The owner of the cake must have been in a hurry, as if he had no prior news, and suddenly got the news, threw down the bread he was eating, and ran away.

Above the underground river, there are hanging old roots of unknown trees, swaying and swaying, and it seems that many people once grabbed it to swing across the river, so they were pulled so soft.

It seems that this dungeon used to be very lively, there were a lot of people, and only a few canoes could not meet the travel needs of the people in the dungeon, and they had to go up the air.

The underground river is now covered with a new wooden bridge, and the smell of fresh wood is so strong that it somewhat suppresses the stench of the sky. The carriage creaked along the bridge, and from time to time water droplets dripped down the cliffs above.

After crossing the underground river, and walking further, the ground was dry again, and the stench was much lighter, and the commander turned around and said to me with a smile: "There is an exit ahead, you can go up and breathe." ”

Sure enough, after a short walk, there was light in front of us, and pushing away the branches of the trees that were sheltering from the doorway, we finally got out of the dungeon, feeling like we had crawled out of a grave. The lushness and mountain breeze in front of you make people feel refreshed.

The commander pointed to a tall and majestic building in front of him, and said, "Does the princess recognize what place it is?" ”

My heart ached for a moment, there was the Royal Taoist Temple.

Once, as long as the jade mystery was not in the palace, I would go to Dagaoguan to see the jade mystery wearing a white robe, like a fairy and a demon, sitting on the podium, with fluttering clothes. With his ethereal voice, he preached various Taoist classics for the three thousand disciples below.

Such a person who is not stained with dust was executed by Ling Chi. Once in a very trance, it was strange that Li Chaozong would execute Yu Xuanji like this. Want to cut off pieces of his meat? Is he made up of flesh?

The commander was still continuing the topic they had just talked about, and he wanted to send someone into the Zhou Mansion to find the traitor. Zhou Sinian disagreed: "Who said that this person must be a traitor?" I don't have traitors in Sun City. ”

The commander laughed helplessly, and pointed to his feet: "Guogong, you found such a dungeon in your mansion that leads directly to the palace, if it weren't for the emperor's favorite, ordinary people are only afraid that it won't be just a competition just now." ”

Zhou Sinian stopped, his eyes were shining, like a fire, about to burn the opposite commander to death, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you find the dungeon?" The tunnel of the palace leads to the royal Taoist temple, does it lead to the Zhou Mansion? He poked his finger at the commander's shoulder, "For so many years, you haven't found the authenticity, such a dereliction of duty, who is the emperor's favorite and can still talk nonsense here?" He smiled coldly, "Not a joust?" Okay, let's fight again, and the commander's sword hasn't been fed yet. ”

Then he smiled sarcastically, raised his eyebrows, and raised the corner of his mouth on the right side: "I forgot, the commander's sword was broken by me, and when I go back, I will compensate you for a good one." ”

The commander bowed: "Meng Lang is humble, and the prince is angry." Guogong has always been the pillar of the country, the mainstay, and the important minister of the country relied on by the emperor. ”

Zhou Sinian snorted coldly: "It's too hot today," he looked at me who kept fanning and wiping my sweat, "The princess is afraid of the heat, so it's over today." After saying that, he grabbed the reins of the horse in the commander's hand, turned the car I was sitting in, and went back to the dungeon in a huff, and walked back.

It was too hot here, and the stench in the air came, and I felt sick and uncomfortable, so I insisted on it, and I didn't listen carefully to what they said just now, and the commander followed behind the car, without saying a word, with a rare look of shame on his face.

Until the passage narrowed, the cart could not come forward, Zhou Sinian only stood up, helped me down, ignored the commander behind him, and walked up from the ladder at the entrance of the tunnel, out of the wooden house, the sky was almost dusk, there was a cool breeze blowing, mixed with the sweet fragrance of apricots, I took a deep breath, and finally squeezed the stench out of my chest, and the annoyance in my heart was a lot less.

The commander walked behind him, unwillingly stopped Zhou Sinian, knelt down and said: "Just now, I said the wrong thing and blasphemed the national government, and I asked the national government to punish him." ”

Zhou Sinian sneered: "Who to punish? You? Don't dare to be, get up! ”

The commander refused to get up, Zhou Sinian bypassed him and was about to leave, I saw them frozen there, and I didn't know how they made a fuss, so I hurriedly grabbed Zhou Sinian, and said to the commander: "Commander, it's getting late, let's go back after dinner in our mansion?" ”

I wanted to command the envoy to leave after some excuses, but I didn't expect the commander to say, "Obey the order." ”

The commander stood up, Zhou Sinian still walked forward, but he didn't walk so fast, and when he saw that the commander was not so close, I took his arm and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" Zhou Sinian sighed and smiled helplessly.

Zhou Sinian didn't want to take the commander back home, and the dinner was set at Bancheng Villa, and the commander kept looking at Zhou Sinian's face during the banquet, and didn't dare to say much.

I played a round and said: "I want to command the envoy no matter what he says, there will be no malice, I have already apologized just now, and Brother Nian will not remember it." ”

The commander smiled at me gratefully: "What the princess said is that she is a lowly martial artist and can't speak, and if she says something wrong, the prince will punish her." ”

Zhou Sinian's face softened: "The commander's words are serious, the commander is a close minister of the emperor, how can I punish him?" But because he is a close minister of the emperor," his voice became stern, "everything he says and does is related to His Majesty's dignity, please respect yourself." (To be continued.) )
