Chapter 81: The Heavenly Prison
Ling Yu, who had no idea about this conspiracy, was naturally overjoyed when he heard his father's whereabouts, as long as he thought that he would be able to see his father later, his heart was excited.
After all, Mr. Long was not as fledgling as him, and said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that they have wronged your father as a murderer, and they will inevitably be strictly guarded and forbidden to visit before they are beheaded, and now that the news of your arrival in the imperial city has also reached their ears, why should they visit at this juncture?"
This basin of cold water was poured down, Ling Yu immediately calmed down a lot, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and said in a lost voice: "What does Mr. Long mean is that this queen knows that I am following them, so she deliberately sings this play to me?"
Mr. Long muttered, "I'm not sure if that's the case. The new king's accession to the throne is nothing more than a justification for his name, and it makes sense for the queen to send them to your father to persuade him to 'confess' her crimes. ”
Ling Yu understood that the word "confession" was nothing more than a trick, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "True or false, I have to leave this time, as for not showing up now, I will adapt when the time comes." ”
Mr. Long didn't speak again, because he knew that ignoring it at this time was the most correct choice, but with Ling Yu's temperament, he would definitely not do this, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, the queen's voice in the Jiaotai Hall sounded again, "This key is used to open Ling Feng's cell, and it has been kept by the emperor personally, so take it now." ”
"Yes. ”
After Xiao Ning answered, silence returned to the hall, and after waiting for a while, the door of the hall creaked open, and the candlelight in the hall also came out, Ling Yu was afraid of attracting attention, so he immediately shrank back.
Xiao Ning walked out of the Jiaotai Palace, exhaled softly, and then walked into the depths of the palace without looking back.
Mu Na followed behind him and said tentatively: "Brother Ning sighed just now, is he unbearable for his childhood friend? Speaking of which, it was his father who killed the king, not him, after all. Their family has always had outstanding military achievements, why don't we work together to intercede for him?"
Xiao Ning was stunned, and then smiled: "I didn't sigh just now, but under the majesty of the queen's mother, I didn't dare to gasp for breath, and I was a little depressed for a while." As for the matter of intercession, it was not for nothing when it happened, but you have also seen what happened to those people, so don't mention it easily in the future. ”
He looked at the dark place in the distance, his eyes flickered slightly, "In this imperial city, the supreme is the imperial power, if they can intercede because of their family's outstanding military achievements, wouldn't it be for everyone to follow suit?"
Ling Yu followed in the distance, not hearing what they were saying, but he had a bad impression of Mu Na, and he could guess a few points.
After walking for two quarters of an hour, Xiao Ning stopped in front of an inconspicuous building. The ordinary prison is naturally outside the palace, but in this palace, there is no shortage of prisons, and the people who are locked up must be dignitaries, if it is said that the demon king Ling Feng is locked in it, it is also reasonable.
"Little prince, county lord. When the soldiers guarding the prison saw the two of them, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Xiao Ning nodded lightly and said, "Open the door, I'm going to go in to see a prisoner." ”
"This ......" the two soldiers looked at each other when they heard this, and said with a sad face, "It's not that we deliberately disobey the little prince's intentions, it's just that this day is a prison to be committed, in case one or two are lost, the villain really can't afford to be guilty, so I also ask the little prince to show the emperor's token." ”
Xiao Ning knew this rule, but he was in a hurry just now, and he didn't think of this question at all, did he have to go back and ask for another order?
Just as she was hesitating, Mu Na suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Ning is smart, why are you confused for a while? Don't you have the key given by the queen mother in your hand?" ”
Xiao Ning patted his forehead, then took out a key made of gold, compared it in front of him, and said, "This thing, the two of you should be familiar with it, right?"
The two guards glanced at each other again, and said: "This is the key to the cell where Ling Feng is held, it has always been kept by the emperor himself, and now it is in the hands of the little prince, so we naturally dare not stop it, but Ling Feng is not ......."
At this point, they caught a glimpse of Muna's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the following words suddenly choked in their throats.
At this time, Mu Na regained her smiling nightmare like a flower, and stepped forward and said, "Both of you, Brother Ning and I were ordered to come, but after all, we are not familiar with the environment of the prison, and we have to bother you to guide the way." ”
Although the scene just now was fleeting, the two of them were humble and timid after all, and they did not dare to take it as an illusion, and they did not say anything more at the moment, and the guard on the left turned around and went to the prison to lead the way for them.
Originally, it was enough for one person to lead the way, and the other person outside could prevent outsiders from entering, but Mu Na glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Please!"
The guard was startled, but did not dare to ask anything, and immediately turned and followed.
Xiao Ning also didn't understand what was going on, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but it had always been Mu Na who gave him advice, and he instinctively believed that she had her reasons for doing this, so he didn't think much about it, and stepped into the prison.
Connected to the exit is a staircase that extends downward, and under the dim light of the wall lamp, it looks a little eerie, and at a glance, you can't even see the camera, as if you are directly connected to hell.
A quarter of an hour later, the four of them came to the first door, which was an ordinary wooden door with only a decorative lock.
Behind this door is the real dungeon, the humid air carries an unbearable musty smell, although a glimmer of light can be seen in the windows tens of meters high, but the dungeon is even darker.
The prison door made of 100 refined steel seemed to ask for money, and every dozen steps would be met by one, and it opened more than ten times until the two guards at the front stopped in front of a cell.
One of them turned around and said, "Little Lord, this is the cell where Ling Feng is being held. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chains being pulled in the cell, and the two guards were taken aback, and at the same time they glanced in, and immediately saw a burly man in prison uniform.
The two guards looked like they had seen a ghost, their lips trembling and they couldn't say a word.
Xiao Ning's whole mind was on Ling Feng, but he didn't pay attention to their reactions, and went straight to open the cell door and walked in, and then Mu Na also walked in.
At this time, although the two guards reacted, they were too late to stop them.
"Ling Feng, can you plead guilty?"
Muna walked up to him and said coldly.
Xiao Ning had some unbearability buried in his eyes, and he was surprised when he heard this: "Our Xingjia Empire has always governed the country according to law, and he hasn't pleaded guilty yet, why should he be executed?"
Mu Na said: "This person's crime has long been ironclad, and asking him to admit his guilt is just a procedure." He also has some connections in the rivers and lakes, so he will be killed in time to avoid long nights and dreams. ”
Ling Yu, who was lurking outside the cell, had already burst into tears when he heard this conversation.
