Chapter 54: Heaven Blue, Hell Red

After almost ten days of recuperation at Helian Yi's place, Lu Hui's body has almost recovered. The body is recuperating, but the brain has not stopped for a moment.

Fortunately, with the so-called "favors" launched by Helian Zhi at the wedding banquet, the questioning and beheading of the assassins in Danqing Palace will be postponed, because one of them is not to kill within a month after marriage. This also bought some time for Greenhouse's actions.

She really couldn't ignore them, because there might not be a second person in this world who would care about their life and death.

They are killers, but they are good and righteous killers. If they could be as ruthless as real killers, maybe they would end up better. At least I won't understand the Entu newspaper, and of course there will be no today's results.

It is not easy to enter the prison, and it is even more difficult for a person like Lu Hui, who has no martial arts. At this time, Lu Hui remembered the token that he exchanged with Helian Yi when he entered the Guozijian, because something happened in the middle, so he didn't return it to him in time, which came in handy.

This token is a good thing, and it is a "one-card pass" wherever you go, but only the royal nobles, or a small number of royal nobles have this kind of token that can pass unimpeded, and Helian Yi is one of them.

Since the last time he recited the red and white spell with Helian Sik, he hasn't been here for a few days. It's good that you don't get caught by him when you sneak out.

Green Hui took the token and set off for the prison where the route had been explored. The assassination of the Son of Heaven is a heinous crime, and they are locked up in a dungeon dedicated to Class A criminals. Almost all of the prisoners here are capital crimes, but there is a difference in the order of waiting for the execution to be carried out.

The dungeon is dark and dark, and light is a luxury here. The dungeon is made of cobblestone, and there are creatures crawling here and there that have been bred in the long-term dampness, which has a disgusting chilling feeling. This kind of human purgatory is constantly challenging the psychological bottom line of criminals, and many of them commit suicide before the execution is carried out.

Midori descended the stone steps of the dungeon to the place where the prisoners were kept, and as she walked, she felt a chill in her back, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and grievances, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her. She had even forgotten that it was winter and that most of the animals were hibernating. Whether it was a dungeon or hell, she really couldn't tell.

As a result of the presentation of the token, Green Hui was allowed to visit the inmate. He followed the jailer through the aisle in the middle of the cell, and his ears were filled with a weak muttering cry for help like a walking corpse, "Help me, help me!" ”。

The sound was like a ghost crying wolf, and the hearts of people were tugging when they heard it. What a strong heart it takes to survive a day here! Green Hui was a little worried about the women's situation.

The jailer stopped in front of a small cell, opened the door, and gave a few words to Lu Hui with a solemn face, and then left.

Several unkempt women in prison clothes snuggled up in a corner of the cell, cowering. His face was blue, his lips were cracked, and there were some shocking whip marks on his white prison clothes. They don't seem to realize that someone is coming, perhaps because their consciousness is no longer able to support them to perceive things in the outside world.

Midori walked into the cell, her feet on the straw, making some noises. One of the women heard the voice slowly turn her pale face buried in her tousled hair, and then looked at Midori steadily.

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she called out tentatively in surprise: "Young master? ”

His bloodshot eyes were full of surprise and anticipation.

The others slowly turned their heads to look at the Green House.

Green Hui nodded lightly and said, "I've wronged everyone!" ”

After receiving the affirmation of the Green Club, the women seemed to be injected with a powerful force, struggling to stand up and salute the Green Club. Beneath the tired, scarred body is a heart full of ecstasy.

It turned out that they all thought that they had killed them by mistake that day. Seeing her standing alive in front of me now, I didn't know how to describe the joy at the moment.

That day, they also saw the unique token of the young master of Danqing Palace worn by Lu Hui, and only then did they know that the person who fell in the pool of blood was the person they were looking for.

Lu Hui was the only person who escaped from the Danqing Palace tragedy, although it has been rumored that she finally failed to escape Cai Ye's clutches and died, but it has always been just a legend, so they never gave up looking for her. It's just that I didn't expect that the goodbye would be in this dark dungeon, but they were already grateful to see Green Hui before they set foot on Huangquan Road.

Midori's heart was very sad, and she hurried over to help everyone up, and sat down together on the stone bed covered with straw. The stone bed is very small, only one person can sleep, and in winter, the temperature is low, so they simply huddle together in the damp underground to help each other and keep each other warm.

It can be said that it is a group of people who are so strange that they can no longer be strangers, but there is some warmth in the heart of Green Hui.

The woman who first discovered the green hall couldn't help but ask: "Young master, why are you here, I obviously saw you lying in a pool of blood that day, I thought you were ......" As she spoke, a thick sense of guilt and self-blame came up again.

After blaming herself, she seemed to be a little uneasy again, and after thinking about it, she still asked: "Also, young master, why did you go to great lengths to block that knife for the dog emperor that day?" "There is a mixture of anticipation in my eyes and a fear that the answer I hear will disappoint me.

"It's to save, but it's you who saved, not him!"

Green Hui knew that they would ask, and she didn't hide it, and told them everything that had happened to her in the past few days, almost without reservation, including her behavior at the banquet that day, and of course, the part of the crossing was changed to amnesia.

After listening to Lu Hui's answer, the woman's tense nerves relaxed, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath.

After explaining his situation to them, it was Lu Hui's turn to be puzzled: "Aren't you being controlled by Cai Ye's illusion Gu, why did you assassinate Helian Zhi at his wedding banquet?" ”

Hearing the word "Cai Ye", the woman instinctively trembled, bit her lip fiercely, and did not let go until she saw the blood, and then said hatefully: "Cai Ye, this evil thief, will not die well sooner or later!" ”

Realizing that she was too excited, the woman took a deep breath and tried to calm her mind down. Sensing Lu Hui's incomprehension, she muttered: "This evil thief has planted an illusion Gu for almost all the people in Danqing Palace, in fact, it is a kind of ****** medicine, at the beginning, we can still stay awake for more than half of the time a day, and then as the intake of medicine continues to increase, the medicinal properties are getting heavier and heavier, and we don't have a few hours a day to stay awake." In this chaotic state, we have become Cai Ye's string-pulling puppets who do whatever they want, no different from puppets! ”

After only a few words, the woman seemed to be excited again: "A group of people who used to be flesh and blood have all suddenly become walking dead." Can you relate to the feeling of being the walking dead everywhere you look? It's like living in a pile of dead people, but these dead people can move. You will think it is a dream, but no matter how much you struggle, you will never wake up! ”

The woman's eyes were already red, and the bitterness in her heart, the resentment and helplessness seemed to overflow from her eyes.

Midori listened quietly, not interrupting her. What they need now is a quiet listener. It may be uncomfortable to go through pain, but to recall the pain you have experienced over and over again is to rub salt in your wounds, because it is to count the scars on your body in blood.

The woman continued to say as if no one was there, "The time of waking is decreasing little by little, and I think that is the end of it. However, I was really unwilling. The palace master's revenge has not yet been avenged, how can we leave like this! Until one day, I found the 'Heavenly Blue' used to make phantom Gu on a hillside outside the Danqing Palace, and I once secretly watched Cai Ye transport a large number of this plant called 'Heavenly Blue' to Nanzhen, which is a plant similar to morning glory, which is so blue that it is demonic, so I won't admit it. When I found 'Heaven Blue', I seemed to really feel the light from heaven. The palace master once told me that all things are mutually reinforcing, and there must be another plant growing around it that restrains it, and sure enough, I found a flower called 'Hell Red', which is around 'Heaven Blue', and I decided to give it a try in the spirit of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor. I didn't expect it to be really effective! ”

As if she had regained that joy, the woman finally showed a faint smile, but the next moment, she shook her head and sighed again: "It's just that the effect is too weak, even if I take a lot of it, it's just a mantis arm as a car, and the toxicity of the phantom Gu still invades my body wantonly, it's just slowing down!" I'm starting to wonder if it's just wishful thinking that I've found an antidote, but it's nothing!"

The eyes that had just lit up had become dim again.

"Don't be discouraged, what you found may really be the antidote!" Green Hui interrupted the woman for the first time.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her face was confused.

Green Hui explained: "'Phantom Gu' is made by them with the substance extracted from the 'Heaven Blue' you said, and the concentration can be imagined to be very high, while the 'Hell Red' you take is completely unprocessed and refined, maybe the active ingredients in it are only very few, so even if you take a lot, there are actually very few things that can effectively resist the Phantom Gu, which is exactly what you called 'Mantis Arm as a Car'." If you can refine the 'Hell Red' as well, I think the effect will be greatly increased! ”

Although the women didn't understand the word 'concentration' and other words, they generally understood the meaning of Green Hui. Silently sighed that the young master was still so smart and icing, just like the palace master, she broke the problem they couldn't figure out, and this pride made them feel a lot better.

Suddenly, Green Hui thought of something again, adding, "With our technology, it must be even harder to refine 'Hell Red' than it was to find it in the first place. It seems that I can only go to Nanzhu to steal the antidote back! ”

"Young master, let's go with you!" "Yes, young master, let's go together!" Everyone's feelings suddenly became high, and the arrival of Green Hui seemed to have really stabilized their hearts.

"Okay, after we escape, let's guard our Danqing Palace together!" Green Hui said word by word. It's like making an important promise.

After talking for so long, Lu Hui realized that she didn't even know the woman's name, and after asking, she found out that her name was "Chaoyan", and it was indeed the woman in Tsing Yi who called her 'young master' on the Peak of Returning to the Underworld. At that time, it was not that the 'phantom Gu' that Cai Ye said was not effective enough, but because she took the 'Hell Red' guide zhì and came to her senses halfway.

The reason why they were able to sneak into the banquet and assassinate the emperor this time was also to deceive Cai Ye with the help of "Hell Red". Ever since Cai Ye had successfully controlled their "Ran Blue Sky Array" with him through the use of phantom Gu, he had been taking them with him for dispatch in case of emergency. He didn't know that they had secretly found the medicine to restrain "Heaven Blue", and continued to pretend that they had been charged, so he didn't pay much attention. In this way, Chao Yan and the others were able to successfully escape and infiltrate the song and dance troupe to carry out the assassination.

Lu Hui looked at this woman named "Chao Yan", she was originally a very bright and beautiful face, but Lu Hui's mind kept coming up with the hideous expression she had when she assassinated Helian Zhi that day, it is undeniable that Cai Ye's bad behavior is indeed outrageous, and it is natural that she wants to break him into thousands of pieces, but why does she hate Helian Zhi so much? Do they all know the truth about the Danqing Palace tragedy? Also, Gongsun Li Zai seems to have become the target of their assassination that day......

Just as I was about to ask what was going on, there were footsteps from far and near outside the cell.
