28 Chapter XXIV

Bo Hongwen walked in with a gloomy face, and when he saw Bo Yongzhi, his face softened a lot, "Why are you here?" ”

Bo Yongzhi lowered his eyes and said, "I accidentally heard your arrangement from my father......"

Bo Hongwen glanced at me, saw that I was listening to them silently, and snorted coldly, "It's okay if you are here, let's ask the noble princess, why did she pretend to be a man and pass through Wuyang City, and why did she happen to take care of the affairs of our uncle's mansion," his tone gradually became violent, "I want to ask, why I knew the method of detoxification, but I didn't detoxify my son!" ”

Bo Yongzhi's face gradually became ugly with Bo Hongwen's words, his face was pale, it was extremely distorted, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling, I saw this situation, I already understood seven or eight points in my heart, but there was a doubt that was getting bigger and bigger, in the few words they just said, it was clearly revealed that they already knew that I had a gift from Tingfeng in my hand, but this matter, I only told Jun Qianchen, and told the old man in the past few years so that he could conduct research, but I am sure that these two people will not spread this matter out, but they are distinct......

"Father, the noble princess seems to disdain us." Bo Yongzhi's voice was as cold as a poisonous snake, sounding in this dim and damp basement, which made people can't help but feel a chill down their backs, I just reacted, just now I didn't pay attention to Bo Hongwen's question, I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, sure enough, Bo Hongwen's face changed greatly, he approached and glared at me viciously, gritted his teeth and said: "I advise you to stop holding your stinky shelf of the crown princess, if you still fantasize that your guards will come to save you, then I will tell you honestly now, they have all been controlled by us." ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was appreciating my embarrassment at the moment, "Don't be delusional, the people sent by the prince to save you, because ......" he smirked, "they can't get by." ”

My eyes rolled coldly, "What do you mean?" ”

"You're finally talking." He sneered, "It's not interesting, what you need to do now is to obediently hand over my son's antidote prescription, otherwise it will ......"

He didn't finish speaking, but the threat in it was self-evident, and my heart began to beat a drum in a hurry, why would he be so fearless, this is still Dongxu! Don't...... A bad guess flashed through my mind, could it be...... Something happened to Jun Qianchen?

"I'll give you a day to think, my patience is limited, if you haven't thought about it at this time tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude, after all, I have already given you a chance." After he finished speaking coldly, he walked out of the door with Bo Yongzhi without looking back, I only said one word from beginning to end, but he didn't seem to care so much.

When the door slammed shut again, the whole basement was quiet, only my breathing and heartbeat could be heard, I don't know what time it is, I don't know how long it has been since I fell asleep before, what happened to Xin Sheng and them now, is there any danger to their lives? I've never felt as helpless as I do now.

My stomach began to growl with hunger, after all, because of illness before, I only ate liquid food for a whole day, I thought about Bo Hongwen's words from beginning to end, and found that he didn't reveal too much information, I still can't guess why he is so arrogant, why he ignores my identity and status, and has the audacity to imprison me in the dungeon, if it's just because of Bo Yongzhi's poison, I think it's unreasonable, Bo Hongwen is a smart person, he won't risk the five horses to do such a stupid thing, But he is so fearless, which can only show that he has dependence, even if he treats me like this, he will not be fine.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, first, Jun Qianchen has an accident, he is no longer able to control the Dongxu courtiers, I can only think of one situation, that is, he is sick and terminal, and even Bo Hongwen, who is in Wuyang City, has heard the news; Second...... There is another person behind Bo Hongwen, and he guaranteed his safety to Bo Hongwen, so Bo Hongwen had the courage to do so.

No matter what the situation is, for me, it will be a catastrophe, but I prefer to believe that there is a person behind Bo Hongwen who is a guide, and that person's identity and status will not be under the dust of Jun Qianchen, but ...... Who could it be?

I thought about it for a long time, my head hurt a little, and I didn't come up with a reason, it was a top priority, I felt that I couldn't rely on other people's help, I needed to find a way to escape, I tried to move my hands and feet, and found that the buckle was extremely tight, all of them were cast from cold iron, very hard, I would never break it without the help of external force, I began to look around, the four walls of the basement, each with a torch, the wall facing it had a door to the outside world, and the rest was empty.

I looked up at the clasps that fastened my hands, they came from the ends of the wooden shelves, the chains could not have been broken, but what about the wooden shelves......

I didn't think long before I decided to give it a go, my hands were hung from the left and right on the wooden frame, and in order for the chains to wear down to the wooden frame, I had to stand on tiptoe and raise my hands higher, and then wave them from side to side to cause friction.

After a while, I was so tired that I was panting and sweating profusely, but I knew that time was pressing, and Bo Hongwen had already told him that he would come again at this hour tomorrow, in fact, if I knew the antidote method, I would not have to worry about telling him, but the page had been torn off by the wind, if I told the truth, he would definitely not believe me, but would only think that I was doing it on purpose, and at that time, looking at his unkind appearance, I was afraid that I would suffer a lot.

Although I don't know the specific time, but I don't dare to slack off for a moment, as long as I have the strength, I began to rub the wooden frame, I don't know how long such a mechanical action lasted, finally, I heard the sound of the wood cracking, I gasped, I felt that nothing could be more beautiful at this time, I rested for a while, and made persistent efforts, after the wood cracked, I soon grinded a deeper and larger crack, water drops pierced the stone, the fool moved the mountain, finally, when I was exhausted, about to exhaust the last bit of strength, The wooden frame snapped completely, and my hands lost the strength to pull up, and they fell down with a bang.

I sighed and wanted to get up from the ground with my hands on the ground, but I found that my hands were completely sore because of the action just now, and I didn't want to move anymore, I gritted my teeth and propped my elbows on the wet ground, sat up, and then began to find a way to break the two chains on my feet.

With the help of my hands, the wooden shelves at both ends of the anklet were easily broken, but my hands and feet could not break free from the chain clasp, so I could only pick up the chain from the ground and hold it firmly in my hand, dragging the heavy chain and limping towards the door.

Although I have made so many efforts, I do not dare to let my guard down, because after opening this door, I have no idea what is going on outside, and whether I can really escape depends on my luck.

But what I didn't expect was that I didn't even have a chance to get out, the door was locked from the outside, even if I had tools in my hands, there was no room to open it inside, not to mention that in this narrow and dark basement, I only had four chains and four torches as weapons and tools, I slowly slid to the ground in the corner, buried my head in my knees, and the place where my wrist was clasped with the chain was burning and hurting, I knew that I must have been injured when I rubbed the wooden frame before, but I didn't have time to care about these now, my mind was full of thoughts, how do I escape.

Gradually, accumulating some strength, my chaotic thoughts settled, and after putting forward countless possibilities, I finally chose that I could only escape to the outside when people from outside entered this basement, and that opportunity was only fleeting, fleeting.

I don't know how long the time has passed, how much time will be left for Bo Hongwen to come in, so I got up, limped to the broken wooden shelf, picked up a very sharp piece of wood, and went to the wall, and extinguished three of the torches, except for one torch, which I took from the wall and took to the corner behind the door, and suddenly the basement became dark, and it looked even more cold and rotten.

The next time, I am resting, accumulating strength, I know that even if I get lucky to escape, but according to my current physical strength, I have not taken a hundred steps, and I will be recaptured by them, therefore, what I need most now is to conserve my strength, I dare not sleep, I can only close my eyes and squint for a while, but my body is always vigilant, and my ears have been paying attention to the movement outside, I don't know how long it has been, finally, I heard a footstep, gradually from far to near.

My heart began to beat slowly faster, like a thunder drum, and I hunched up, like a beast ready to jump up and catch its prey, my eyes fixed on the direction of the door, and then I heard the sound of the lock being opened......

A figure walked in, I was waiting for this moment, almost at the same time I jumped up, smashed the torch in his right hand at the man's face, the man screamed in pain, covered his face and exited the room, I also dodged out, and saw that the person had rolled on the ground, the costume was clearly Bo Yongzhi, I didn't have time to think about it, and I didn't bother to care about him, holding the sharp piece of wood in my hand, and walking up the stairs.

There were many lights along the road, shining brightly, and there was no one outside, and my heart almost jumped out, but my steps became more and more determined, as if I had gone up fifty or sixty steps, and finally I saw the exit, and the light from outside came through the cracks, and I widened my eyes, and took two quick steps, pushing away the obstacle in front of me with all my might, and then ...... A sword glowing with cold light appeared before my eyes.
