Hearing this, Banyun replied: "The royal family of the Eastern Shang Kingdom said that they were recuperating, and the subordinates have not yet found out what the real situation is. ”

"Recuperate? A good reason indeed. Long Zeye said thoughtfully, "This matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will continue to send people to monitor the Dongshang Guoxing Palace." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Is there any movement on the people over there in Lingsui during this time?" I had been paying attention to Xiahou Yan's movements before, but I hadn't paid too much attention to Hua Yuebai.

"Back to the master, since the God of Food, the second prince of Lingsui has been taking a few attendants to play around, and has never done the rest." Banyun replied.

Long Zeye nodded, he understood, and waved his hand at Banyun, signaling that he could retreat.

Although Lingsui is not as good as Dongshang and Yuan Chu, it is also one of the three kingdoms on this continent. The Eastern Shang Kingdom was a military hegemon, while the Yuan Chu was an economic power. Lingsui is not significant in either way, but it is the place with the most literati and artists, and it is also the place with the richest food and species.

Huayue Baigui is the second prince and the queen's son, and his status is extremely noble, but he has not ascended to the throne of the crown prince for a long time, which has to make people guess that there are great problems in the court of Lingsui.

Long Zeye wouldn't believe that this Hua Yuebai would really be a noble son who indulged in landscapes and only knew how to have fun.

Since Jian Ning entered the imperial study, her whole heart could no longer calm down. It's a day to sit alone on that cold bed.

But until dark, she waited for no news, and no one entered the cell.

Early the next morning, Jian Ning looked at the cold and hard steamed buns that were sent, couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the iron railing of the cell door with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Someone!" Didn't you say that there was a decapitation before the head was chopped! My aunt and grandmother are dying. Why do you still eat this! You still have no humanity! ”

Jian Ning shouted a few times in a row, but no one answered, only heard a burst of echoes. Jian Ning was out of breath, the last time because of illness. In order to make it easier for Father-in-law Fan and the imperial doctor to take care of herself, she was given another cell. All the cells around here are empty now, except for the one she was staying in.

Two days ago, I could see two jailers or something, but now I can't even see the figure of a jailer.

Before Jian Ning could breathe for long, two jailers suddenly appeared, opened the cell door, and went directly into Jian Ning's cell. didn't say a word, and when he came up, he directly brought a bracelet and shackles to Jian Ning.

When she was brought to this thing for the first time, Jian Ning continued to resist. But this time. Jian Ning was obviously very quiet.

took Jian Ning out of the cell all the way, and Jian Ning never said a word. Walking out of the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department, the warm sun shone on her body, which was extremely comfortable, and for such a moment, Jian Ning really felt that it was good to be alive.

Looking up at the sun, at this time, it should only be eight or nine o'clock, it was still very early at three o'clock in the afternoon, Jian Ning suddenly asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”

The two jailers did not answer Jian Ning's words. directly took Jian Ning to a prisoner car.

At this moment, Jian Ning was furious. She is no longer as cooperative as she was just now, and she just doesn't get into the prison car. While using the shackles she was wearing, she resisted the two jailers who wanted to push her into the prison cart. He roared angrily, "Say, where are you going to take me?" ”

The two jailers were obviously also given an unusually headache by Jian Ning. The adults explained before that they couldn't hurt people, and now they didn't dare to push too hard. But if you don't use force, you can't suppress Jian Ning.

In desperation, one of the jailers had no choice but to speak: "Your Excellency, I will take you to the execution ground now!" ”

"The execution ground? It's not time to be executed yet, so why are you taking me to the execution ground so early? Jian Ning didn't stop resisting and continued to ask.

People are afraid of death, and the most tormenting thing is the period before death. Stay in a cell. This sense of oppression and fear would have been a little better, if it had gone straight to the execution ground. That is undoubtedly to overwhelm one's own heart with a sense of fear!

"We will do whatever the adults command. Where to know why! The jailer said impatiently. Taking advantage of the moment when Jian Ning was stunned, the two of them quickly stuffed Jian Ning into the prisoner car with a little force.

Locked the door of the prisoner's car, and drove slowly towards the execution ground.

Jian Ning was extremely angry, looking at the two jailers with hatred, wishing that he could go up and give them a sword.

At this moment, the execution ground was already surrounded by heavy officers and soldiers and civilians. Yi Yi was sitting on the prison platform and observing the people below, trying to find some suspicious people.

The reason why he escorted Jian Ning to the execution ground in advance was that he wanted to lure out the people who robbed the law field as soon as possible. Today's execution ground has been carefully arranged. The closest to the execution ground were the most elite officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department. There are a large number of archers on the periphery. Even if it's a bird with wings, if it comes in, don't want to fly out.

Among the people, there are even more forbidden troops arranged by King Xiang who have disguised themselves as part of the people with strong martial arts. A large number of forbidden guards have been sent to guard the exits here, and in such a situation, even if the people who come have three heads and six arms, it is estimated that there is no possibility of escape.

And Xi'er and Jiu'er, who have been mixed with the people, looked at this formation, their hearts tightened slightly, and their brows wrinkled unconsciously. Don't say it's Jiu'er, a person in the rivers and lakes, even Xi'er can see that there are at least twice as many guards at today's execution ground, obviously he has been prepared for a long time!

After looking at it for a while, Jiu'er immediately pulled Xi'er back away, trying to get away from the crowd as much as possible without being suspected.

"Miss Nine, what should I do now? With so many officers and soldiers here, can we really rescue Miss? Xi'er asked worriedly.

In the past two days, since the ninth girl came back from Xiaoyao Valley, she has been going out early and returning late, and she is rarely seen even when she sleeps and eats. Xi'er didn't know what the ninth girl was busy with, but Xi'er knew that the ninth girl must be preparing to save the young lady. So I didn't dare to bother her.

"Whether it works or not, we're going to give it a try. You can't watch my sister get cut like this! Jiu'er had been observing the surrounding environment and said calmly, "Last night, there was news from Brother Leshan's side, they had found the gold medal for avoiding death, and they had rushed back. So I must spare no expense to save my sister's life! ”

Listening to Jiu'er's words, Xi'er also nodded firmly, she must not let Miss die, even if she fights for her own life, she must let Miss live.

"Xi'er, listen to me, there are still nearly two hours before the execution time, and we must be prepared."

"Miss Nine, you just say, what do you need slaves to do? The slave will do her best. Xi'er suppressed her voice as much as she could, and said firmly.

"I am free to deal with the officers and archers here, but I am not sure that there are any officials among these people. So after a while, I must not have the energy to take care of you anymore. You have to mix in with these people, not only to find a way to protect yourself, but also to find out as much as possible those who are mixed with the people and the government, and then find an opportunity to poison them. ”

"Poisoned? But the slave won't be poisoned? When Xi'er heard this, she said a little worried and embarrassed.

"It's okay, here's this." Saying that, Jiu'er carefully handed the two porcelain bottles in his hand to Xi'er, and patiently explained, "The medicine in the white porcelain bottle can cure all kinds of poisons, and you will take it all in a while, so that you won't be afraid of my poison." Inside the black porcelain bottle is poison, you smear it on your own hand, as long as your hand touches someone's skin, he will be poisoned. ”

Xi'er relaxed a little when she heard this, and took the two porcelain bottles from Jiu'er's hands. But I haven't been at ease for too long, and a new question came again, Xi'er hurriedly asked, "Miss Nine, what if I accidentally touch innocent people?" ”

"Rest assured, this poison won't kill people in a short period of time. It will only make people's hands and feet stiff and tingle all over the body. But you still have to be careful, if you have been poisoned for a long time, this pain alone will kill them. Jiu'er explained.

She didn't want to hurt innocent people, but now that the situation is critical, she has no better way.

"Then what is the slave going to do after that? Once there is chaos, everyone must be in a hurry to flee, and the slaves and maids must follow them out? Xi'er continued to ask. But if it just goes out like this, wouldn't it be left with the nine girls alone, how can this be?

"Yes, your most important task this time is to find a way out!" Jiu'er looked at the two exits full of forbidden troops, and said calmly, "Now that the two exits of this execution ground are heavily guarded, you have to find a way to use the power of the people to open an exit for us." If not, not only my sister, but even us will die here, so you must do it! ”

After finishing speaking, Jiu'er gave Xi'er some poison powder: "The medicine here should be enough for you." Most of these drugs belong to the category of ecstasy, so you can use them boldly, even if people inhale them, they will be fine. ”

"Okay, slave and maid understand. Even if you risk your life, the slave will do it. Xi'er took the poison and said through gritted teeth.

"And the most important sentence, you must remember." After a pause, Jiu'er spoke into Xi'er's eyes, "If I fail this time, you don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself, you must not be caught!" ”

At this moment, "Miss Nine" Xi'er suddenly had a trace of tears in her eyes, and she was more unwilling.

"You have to remember that if I am caught, I will not necessarily die, but if you are caught, there is only one way to die. And Brother Leshan, they also need you to spread the news. At this moment, Jiu'er exuded a maturity that did not belong to her. (To be continued) R861
