Chapter 1 Tanuki for the Prince?
It's an underground dungeon, with no light, no sound, and no creature.....
Due to the lack of air circulation and sunlight for a long time, only a strong rancid musty smell ferments in the air.
In the corner, a slender figure was sitting there, her hair was scattered, her face was covered with dirt, she couldn't see her face clearly, her prison clothes were covered with blackened blood, she held a yellowish book in her hand, the upper left corner of the book, inlaid with this thumb-sized night pearl, the brightness was faint, but she could just see all the contents of the book.
At this time, there was a sound from outside, she was stunned for a moment, slowly raised her head, and then, there was a sound of chains clanging at the door,
Her hand moved slightly, how long did it take..... How long has it been since I've seen anyone.... No, it's been a long time since I've seen anything alive.....
Putting the book into her arms, the door was also opened, the light shone in, she was in the dark for a long time, and suddenly saw the light, and her eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, but she was unwilling to block it with her hands, so her eyes were stimulated, and in a trance, three people walked in.
"The emperor has ordered that all rebels will be executed at noon today, at Noon Lingtai,....." the leading little eunuch said loudly.
Her eyes were a little sore, and then tears rolled out, and she didn't wipe them, letting them roll out of their sockets, dripping down her face, and finally dripping on the ground.
It's been five years, and those people's patience has finally worn out.... didn't sigh in her heart, it turned out that she was inevitably dead in the end......
Heh, I'm really a little unwilling, but what if I'm unwilling?
The three people who came to escort him thought that she was crying because she was going to die, but the little eunuch in the lead hesitated, but still stepped forward and said, "Miss Gu, let's go with the slave...."
She shook her head, waited until her eyes were completely comfortable, then raised her head and smiled slightly: "There is Grandpa Lao." ”
Stretched out her hand to support the wall and slowly stood up, but no matter how simple an ordinary person was, she almost tightened her teeth immediately, and when she finally got up, her forehead was covered with fine sweat.
The eunuch didn't rush her, so he waited.
Who would have thought that the heroic girl who could knock Zeng Shaoda off the horse with a sword has now become like this.
When she stood up, she took a piece of black cloth from the guard next to her.
"The old rule, the slave ties it for the girl."
All prisoners need to cover their eyes with a black cloth when entering and exiting this underground prison, perhaps to prevent the branch of this dungeon from leaking, but Gu Xiaoman feels that this is actually a bit redundant, because the people who can be imprisoned here have hardly ever gone out alive, just like now, she went out for the first time in five years, just to die.
After her vision was blocked by darkness, she had an extra hand in her palm, and then the voice of the little eunuch sounded in her ears: "This black prison is not easy to walk, so the slave will help the girl." ”
Gu Xiaoman looked at his head politely: "Father-in-law Xie." ”
Unexpectedly, the little eunuch sent to see her off before she died was so gentle, and God treated her well.
Her legs were sick, and she didn't walk fast, almost stopping at five steps, and the eunuch didn't urge her, so she walked slowly with her rhythm.
I don't know how long I walked by the hand, and my ears changed from the initial empty footsteps to the faint birdsong, and the original thick rancid smell between my noses was replaced by the fresh fragrance of trees and grass.....
She took a deep breath, this is the taste of life.
"Here we are."
The voice of the little eunuch sounded in her ears again, and then the black cloth on her eyes was removed, and the sudden light made her quickly close her eyes again, and after a while, she slowly opened them.....
The sky is blue, the clouds are ethereal, and the tender foliage is gently swaying in the wind after the birds flap their wings.....
It's so beautiful, how long has it been since she appeared in such a blue sea and blue sky like this?
And why didn't she realize that the sky was so beautiful before.....
She sucked in the long-lost pure air around her with some greed.
"Girl, get in the car?" The little eunuch said again.
She looked away, only to notice that a carriage had been parked not far in front of her.
The corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised: "When did this criminal department treat death row prisoners so favorably, and still take a carriage?" ”
The little eunuch smiled slightly, then raised his hand and groped his face, and then tore off his face, revealing another face.
Only then did she realize that the two guards behind her before were gone, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are you?" ”
"Girl, let's get in the car first, my master is already waiting for the girl." The other party said politely.
She didn't move, and looked up at him cautiously: "Who is your master?" ”
"He is the one who helps the girl." The man said again.
Help? She raised her eyebrows, but she didn't move.
After that incident back then, the person who could help her either died or had escaped from Yaodu, and the person in front of her, since he could be mixed into the prison of the Criminal Department, it proved that the identity of the master behind him was not simple, but she didn't remember that she knew such a person back then, let alone ..... Is this just a play directed and acted by those people?
The man seemed to expect her to do so, and said, "The girl doesn't have to think too much, the decree is true, and the fake is me, the herald, and even more take a step back, even if we have a conspiracy, there is nothing worse than the girl now.....
She paused, and then laughed, this is true, she is not a ghost now, her hands and feet are useless, except for death, there is nothing worse than this.
"Moreover, for the girl, it doesn't really matter who we are, the important thing is that after today, the traitor Gu Xiaoman has been beheaded and Wu Lingtai."
Her eyes widened slightly.
It turned out that it was not a prisoner robbery, but a tanuki for the prince.....
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled again.
Yes, what does it matter if you are friend or foe, sometimes, it may not be your enemy who stabs you in the back.....
Let's get out of this place first.
The man got into the carriage by his hand, and the wheels began to turn.
An hour later, the carriage came to a house ten miles outside the city, and there was a teenager standing outside the door, his face was anxious, and when he saw them, his expression was obviously relieved.
When the carriage stopped, he strode forward.
"In the car?"
"Yes."
After the man finished speaking, he turned to the carriageway: "Girl, it's here." ”
But there was no movement in the carriage.
The young man and the man looked at each other, and suddenly a bad premonition floated, and the young man immediately stepped forward to open the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, the carriage was empty...........
