Chapter 484: Seeing the Day
(Second Update!) )
The day after Shen Su left, Shen Du received an order from Emperor Chongde, telling him to prepare well and take Sheng Lie out of the prison and go to Wuling.
This "prepare well" is actually a bit ironic. Because of this trip to escort Shenglie to leave Jingzhao, there are leading officials and guarding the Tiger Ben soldiers, who are fully responsible for this matter. From the formulation of the route to the arrangement of personnel, Shen Du didn't know at all.
In this line, Shen Du's only meaning and function is to follow Sheng Lie to Wuling, and then get the exact location of the Wuling vein.
Because, Sheng Lie designated Shen Du to go to Wuling. Emperor Chongde wanted to use Shen Du, but he had to let Shen Du go. Yes, the accompanying soldiers had never had contact with Shen Du before.
Shen Du has been in the Tiger Army for a long time, and since he served as the general of Tiger Ben Zhonglang, he has also taken General Hu Ben Zhonglang to do several major things. To select soldiers who had never had contact with Shen Du, Zhang Xu, the deputy general of Huben, also took a lot of effort.
This time I went to Wuling, and the Tiger Ben soldiers were led by Zhang Xu. And the chief official of this line is Lu Fengde, Hongluqing.
Before Shen Su left Jingzhao, Zhang Xu and Lu Fengde had already met. The two of them made detailed arrangements for the trip to Wuling, and by the time Emperor Chongde gave the order, everything was already ready.
On the last day of April, the sun shines on the earth. Selfless every day, almost everywhere.
Outside the heavenly prison, where there has always been no human tracks, there are many people standing, all of them looking vigilant, and many tiger soldiers have drawn their long knives and guarded them horizontally, ready to raise their knives at any time.
The slightest tremor in the air can alert them.
Standing in front of these officials. It's three officials. Hongluqing Lu Fengde, Dali Temple Qing Shao Lianxing, and Dali Shaoqing Feng Lanyan. They all pursed their lips and stared at the exit of the prison, waiting for Sheng Lie to appear.
Next to them, standing was Shen Du.
Compared with the cautious vigilance of these people, Shen Du seemed too relaxed, a little casual. It's like standing in the courtyard listening to the wind and the moon, as if the appearance of grandeur is nothing. To be precise, it seems to be the appearance of a grand and fierce one. It's a pleasure.
If you hadn't heard the sound of "clang" shackles. Lu Fengde really wanted to remind Shen Du: Hey, Lord Shen, you are too out of line, so you should be more restrained.
Lu Fengde didn't say this. The sound of shackles was getting closer. The tiger soldiers' knives tightened. The officials' hearts were raised, and they didn't even feel that their breathing became lighter, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
It's been six years. Sheng Lie has been imprisoned in Dading Prison for six years. In the past six years, Sheng Lie has been guarding a secret, and no matter how many torture methods Dali Temple has used, he has never spit out half a sentence of relevant words.
Now, Sheng Lie is coming out, and the secret of six years, the secret related to the rise and fall of Dading, is about to appear. How can these officers and soldiers not be nervous?
Everyone present knew what the Sheng Lie Heavenly Prison meant, but no one knew exactly what this would cause. Caution and vigilance are the only way to deal with it.
The sound of shackles was already close to the ears, and in front of Lu Fengde and the others, a solemn figure also appeared. Sheng Lie's clothes had been changed into new ones, but they were still the clothes worn by the prisoners, and there was still a heavy slurry on his feet.
Four jailers escorted him and pressed him with iron rods, carrying him from the underground prison to the surface.
The earth, the earth, the earth where the sun shines.
Sheng Lie stood still, and when he saw the sun in the dark, his first feeling was not happiness, but panic. The sunlight seemed to be too dazzling, stabbing his eyes painfully, and he closed his eyes uncomfortably.
It's been six years, sunshine, sunshine for a long time. After six years of darkness, Sheng Lie finally felt the feeling of sunshine.
The sun is shining on the body, warm, this feeling, different from the dark and cold accumulated in the prison, there is indescribable comfort.
There is also the smell of the nose, in a trance, Sheng Lie can smell the fragrance of flowers, and there is also the smell of grass. - In fact, he was tortured in prison, and his sense of taste had long since failed.
Sheng Lie finally opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was not the person standing in front of him, but the sun hanging in the sky. He looked up, half-squinted, and looked at the place where the sunlight was shining.
Then, a smile appeared. Happy, like a child.
"Sunshine, that's good." Sheng Lie said this in a hoarse voice. The pure joy in the words made the people waiting outside the prison feel a little strange.
This sunshine can be seen at any time, and they don't think it's anything special. But Sheng Lie, seeing this vision, showed such a smile......
"Ahem......" Shao Lianyu pretended to cough twice, interrupting Sheng Lie's feelings and recalling everyone's vigilance. The atmosphere outside the prison became tense and alert again.
Sheng Lie's gaze finally fell on Shao Lianxin and the others. As expected, there were many people waiting for him outside the prison. Who are these people?
His gaze, with scrutiny, swept over Shao Lianyu, Lu Fengde, and Feng Lanyan one by one, and only stopped when he saw that leisurely figure.
Sheng Lie's warmth and joy just now slowly dissipated, replaced by awe-inspiring and prudent. -- Just like how Shao Lianxin and other officials felt when facing him.
He laughed out loud, full of darkness in the prison: "I really didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting for me, I really didn't expect it." ”
At this moment, Sheng Lie remembered Shao Lianxing's twice-monthly interrogation, and remembered the countless torture imprints that Shao Lianxuan had placed on him, and his eyes turned cold.
Shao Lianyu thought about it as if he felt stared at by a poisonous snake, but took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you have come out, we will arrange for you to go to Wuling, I wish Your Highness a good journey." ”
The more respectful his attitude was, the more contemptuous he was for Sheng Lie. Yes, the once high-ranking prince of Xisheng is just a prisoner of Dading. He had heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and even if he saw the light of day, it could not change his status as a prisoner.
Lu Fengde also took a step forward, took Shao Lianyu's words, and said with a smile: "Lord Shao, please rest assured, this official will definitely take good care of His Highness and let him go to Wuling safely." ”
Seeing Lu Fengde, the coldness in Sheng Lie's eyes was even worse. Six years have passed, although Lu Fengde is much older than before, Sheng Lie still remembers that this is Honglu Shaoqing back then!
Sheng Lie can never forget that it was this person, before he was seriously injured and fell unconscious, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I finally caught you." ”
It's him, it's still him!
