Chapter 362: The Beginning of the Cold War (I)
What the?! The death row is different from other prisons, it has a history of thousands of years in Xuanwu, and it was built by the ancestor emperor of Xuanwu and the most brutal emperor in history! There are only a few special prisoners in it, and they don't die inside, but they can never get out, because this is a very special cell, and only those who go in, and no one can get out. The chance of wanting to escape from prison is zero, and it has been like this for thousands of years, and no one can get out if they go in. There has been no exception for thousands of years!
The emperor showed a helpless look on his face, and there was almost a hint of begging in his eyes, he had a last resort in this matter, and he didn't know how to explain it to Qian'er!
"You-" Xiao Qian was almost speechless in surprise, she didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless, so she turned around and rode away. A puff of dust was raised, which frightened the eunuchs and palace maids to quickly dodge.
Dare to ride a horse in the palace, I'm afraid there is only Princess Anguo, she still can't accept that person will be a shadow, he is obviously so sincere, so he has always been dedicated to protecting her! Protect the Emperor!
Death row
The woman rode her horse non-stop for several hours, and finally arrived at the legendary death row. The night was very deep, but she was still reluctant to leave, and stood in the distance and looked at the iron-walled and extremely gloomy prison, which was built underground. There are eighteen floors underground, and only five floors above ground, and the further down you go, the more dangerous and special the prisoners become.
The woman did not move, like a stone sculpture. A cold wind swept up, blowing gusts of gloomy wind, raising her cloak, and her long hair fluttering in the wind.
The death row is surrounded by stagnant water, which feeds very brutal sharks, anacondas, and other monsters.
There was a drawbridge blocking the way, and between this bridge, two worlds apart, and there were constant voices of resentment at the other end. Death row is a closed place, almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Although Xiao Qian is on the other end, he can clearly feel how terrifying and desolate the world is on the other end......
Jun Qingye has been protecting Qian'er, and he is really worried that Qian'er will take one more step forward, and those who dare to trespass will definitely be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows. And there are even more terrifying hidden weapons!
Even he wasn't sure he could save people from here, it was a super labyrinth! Moreover, the power of the strongest artifact, Tuzun, is all sealed here. There are also mysterious mechanisms and terrifying mystical arts, and even King Chen, who has peerless martial arts, is not at all sure.
Qian'er was still a little measured, she didn't take half a step more, and waited in the safety zone without moving.
The emperor took a deep breath, sighed helplessly for a long time, and said slowly with a heart full of entanglement:
"The first time I met the Shadow, he was just a six-year-old child, floating in the icy water, holding only a piece of driftwood in his hands, and he was already dying when he was salvaged. The wounds all over my body were shocking.
I was a year younger than him, so I was so young and ignorant, and it was a miracle that he survived. I told him at the time that if you survived, it showed that you had inhuman willpower, and that you would be the first guard and first friend of the Prince, and that he had a high fever for seven days, and that he was fighting against death every day. and went to see him until the seventh day. He was almost unconscious, he hated weakness and asked what is a friend? I was too young to understand what it meant to be a friend. I can only tell him that if you have friends, you won't be lonely anymore, if someone bullies you again, there will be friends to help you fight together, and if you have something on your mind, you can also make friends with friends...... Ten days later he was alive, and all his memories were gone due to the high fever. The only thing he remembered was what I had promised him. That's right, the Shadow is my number one guard! The first friend to talk about trust, I didn't expect him to be a spy! ”
A heartache and cold and sad look flashed in the emperor's eyes, all of this was his true feelings, and his friendship with the shadow was really deep.
Xiao Qian's face was indignant, she was angry at why he was so decisive. didn't give her a chance at all, "Why don't you put him in an ordinary dungeon, you must put him in some kind of death row, I don't even have a chance to see him if you do this!" ”
"Eleven people are very strong, his illusion is too strong, no prison here can trap him, only this death row can trap him, even if it is eleven people, he will not dare to come here to rob the prison."
"You should know that you have been friends with the Shadow for so many years, even if his background is inextricably linked to the enemy, as long as he does not betray you and does not do anything sorry for you, he is still your good brother! Your Majesty, do you have definite evidence that the poison is in the shadows? ”
"This case is closed, and there is no need to discuss it again."
The woman is angry in her heart, if it weren't for the presence of so many secret guards, Xiao Qian really wanted to beat the fox to relieve her anger, the emperor was really so kind!
No! There is a voice in the bottom of my heart that is actually rejecting this idea! Xiao Qian stared at the emperor for a long time, he was wearing a dragon robe very majestic, a little imposing, and he did not avoid the sharp scrutiny of the woman at all.
The phantom turned his back on the emperor, but the emperor still forgave him, and Suzaku and Hanyun were also seriously negligent, but the emperor did not punish them but let them go. Then the shadow can't be so affectionate to him, the emperor is a loving and righteous emperor, he will not hurt his brother, unless the emperor's intention is to protect him, he doesn't believe that the shadow is a traitor, he is very dangerous to be locked in an ordinary prison, and he will be killed by a real traitor at any time.
This framed person is the real poisoner, he must still be hiding by the emperor's side, the alarm has not been lifted, this is a woman's intuition, sometimes there is no evidence and you can only rely on intuition.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qian's heart suddenly brightened, but his face was still cloudy, and he must not leak flaws to alert the real traitor.
"Girl, go back!"
"You all go, I'll spend more time with the Shadow here, I still have something to say to him."
Xiao Qian was stubborn and unwilling to leave like this, she recalled a lot of memories with the shadow, the shadow gave her the impression of being sophisticated, calm, resourceful, and righteous, and they had also studied the code together.
By the way, through their unique code, she can convey to him what she wants to say!
The woman knocked on the ground to send a message to the Shadow: I believe that you must be innocent, and I will definitely find out the real culprit who framed you. No matter how difficult or painful it is, you must hold on! Because you still have me and Ling Xuan, and you still have friends waiting for you-
After transmitting the signal, she was afraid that her internal force would not be able to transmit that far, so she asked Qingye to help her convey it again in the same way.
At this time, an old uncle came, and he looked like he was more than seventy or eighty. His hair and beard were all white, he was not very tall, his long beard was waist-high, and he held a wooden cane in his hand. He walked slowly, as he had a crippled leg, walked all the way to the bridge and sat down. The hat on his back was also put aside, and then he began to fish as if no one was around!
Kook! Absolutely weird!
"Old uncle, there are no fish here, and even if there are fish, they are fierce beasts, and it is very dangerous here, you can't fish here."
"Little girl, are you nosy, what does the old man have to do with fishing? As for whether there are fish or not, how do you know? As for whether the fish is cruel or not, how do you know if you don't catch it? ”
"Qian'er. Don't take it lightly, the messenger of hell has children and women, and our enemies may disguise themselves as weakling, but the old man in front of him is not weak at all, he can easily come from the strict protection of the secret guards, and the internal force is unfathomable, at least not under this king! As King Chen spoke, he had already protected Xiao Qian behind him.
"You think too much, the old man is just a waste man who stepped into the coffin one by one. It's so scary. Haha-"
The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Qian'er, go back." It's windy and it's not safe. ”
The woman snorted, turned her head away, and ignored him completely.
"Uncle, I have a friend who is locked up inside, do you have relatives who are also locked up inside, so you come here to fish every night just to accompany her?"
"Old men don't cut their beards. Never cut, I'm not lonely, the beard is the old man's only friend. Little girl, what are you? The strange old man was completely unanswered, and his face was mysterious.
"I'm a dog."
"Dogs are very affectionate and straightforward to their friends. Emotional single-mindedness. The corners of the girl's eyes are long and upturned, and her body is graceful, and she will continue to provoke peach blossoms, but it's a pity that your life is too hard to get married... Generally speaking, you are still a blessed person, and your life will be full of disasters and hardships, and you will definitely have noble people to help you......"
At this moment, the old man's deep eyes revealed wisdom, and his body exuded a powerful momentum, which was completely similar to just now.
Xiao Qian raised her beautiful long eyebrows, and asked, "Thank you for telling my fortune, dare to ask the old man's surname?" ”
The strange old man nodded, "The old man's name doesn't matter, here's a bag of salted fish to sell to you, little girl, are you interested?" ”
"Okay," Xiao Qian took out a certain amount of silver and prepared to give it to the old uncle, no matter who he was, in short, an old man should be respected.
"How can such a little silver be enough, my salted fish is a priceless treasure!"
"How much does that cost?"
The white-bearded old man was silent, and directly stretched out a palm.
"Oh, I see, since you think it's priceless, then I'll trade my priceless treasure for you too. Although I was in a hurry when I came, I still prepared a roast chicken, my friend may not be able to eat it, would you like to exchange it? ”
"Okay, let's hand over the salted fish and the roast chicken with the other." I didn't expect the white-bearded old man to agree in one bite, is he a foodie?
Xiao Qian nodded immediately without hesitation, but Qingye was a little worried. "Qian'er, I'll exchange with him, and you hide behind you."
"No, my old man only deals with this little girl, if you don't want this salted fish or you don't have sincerity, don't exchange it." "Qian'er, let's go! What is there to ask for a salted fish, it is even more deceitful for him to say this, let's ignore him! The emperor was a little anxious, and grabbed the woman's wrist and didn't let go.
"Uncle, you may be a master of the world, or you may be a crippled and lonely old man, whether it is your kind of person, this chicken and a pot of wine are left for you. As for your salted fish, I would love to take it home and taste it, but as you can see, they all stop me, first, I can't beat them, and second, I can't beat you either, it seems that I am destined to have nothing to do with salted fish. After saying that, the woman put down the roast chicken and the wine, and turned to leave.
The strange old man sighed and said slowly: "Little girl, acquaintance is fate, the old man will give you a word: the belt will be widened and will not regret it, and it will make people haggard for Yi - if you understand the mystery here, it may help you." ”
A weirdo is a weirdo, everything he says is inexplicable, and he can also recite love poems, what kind of consciousness does this have?
