Chapter 10: Words from Prison
The moment he walked out of Shouchun's cell, Gao Yun's heart was heavy. Hu Jie Fan Sheng's integrity is certainly respectable, but after getting his own assurance to confess Yan Xiang, the other civil and military forces are like countless people who have fallen into the water facing a swimming circle, scrambling to be the first.
Human nature is always cold, and Gao Yun has long understood this. He knew that most of the people who could be here were for their own interests, and they thought that they could not die, that they still had hole cards, and even that they thought that way until the moment they were imprisoned.
But Yan Xiang's death emerged, and Hu Jie Fan Sheng took the lead in the rebellion, and they realized that the hole cards that had no fear were so ridiculous. So the so-called Hanchen is no longer Hanchen, and the so-called for the interests of the family is not stubborn, and there is a life and death exam in front of them, and these people can only choose the former in the case of all hopes.
The rain gradually subsided, and the sky was a little late, but Gao Yun still did not stop under the protection of Zhou Han and others.
He was only halfway through Yuan Shu's order, and he had to face the paranoid old man next.
The water dungeon is located in the east of the city, opposite to the location of the cells. If there is a difference between water prisons and ordinary cells, it is that the water prisons are all death row prisoners, and those who enter here never get out alive.
The water dungeon naturally has water, and the degree of darkness and dampness is not comparable to that of the dungeon, when a group of prison servants used a small raft to pick up Gao Yun to pass the dirty underground water pool, Gao Yun even thought that even if Yuan Shu did not execute the prisoners here, he would die of depression after staying for a long time.
Tidying up his clothes, Gao Yun finally arrived at a relatively dry place, and as soon as he stepped on the floor of the cell, he walked towards Yan Xiang's cell under the leadership of the prison guard.
Because in the underground, it is completely dark, and the torches around are lit in twos and threes, but it is impossible to illuminate all of them, and the feeling of depression after entering the water dungeon will not be slightly alleviated with the light of the stars.
In just one day, Yan Xiang seemed to be much older. He was already gray, and he looked even older, and the cold continued to invade his old body, but he still squinted his eyes and sat upright, looking like he had used this place as a place for self-cultivation.
A gust of wind ruffled Yan Xiang's scattered hair, and the creaking of the locks made his eyelids twitch slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes when he heard a young voice order everyone not to approach.
"You're here."
Gao Yun, who couldn't see any surprise on Yan Xiang's face, didn't care too much about his doubts when he heard this unfazed greeting, so he could only lean over and say, "I've seen it in the late life." ”
"Where or whatever." Yan Xiang smiled suddenly, and slowly raised his right hand and waved it, as if he were the owner of a cell, "Sit down." ”
Gao Yun nodded, put the food box on the dilapidated table, took out the food and wine, sat down opposite Yan Xiang, and said, "I was afraid that I would be miserable in prison, so I specially made some wine and food for others to relieve their fatigue." ”
Yan Xiang glanced at the food and said with a smile: "The Gao family's food is very tight, and they can only eat some steamed buns on weekdays, but today it is rare for the old man to miss it." ”
"But the wine and food are good, but I don't know if Gao Taishou is planning to take the old man's life when he comes this time."
Yan Xiang's smile had faded and was replaced by a serious one, his eyes fixed on Gao Yun, as if he wanted to hear what the young man should say.
"Don't talk and laugh, although the younger generation is here on the orders of the lord this time, I just want to have a glass of wine with the other driver."
"Oh?" Yan Xiang began to think, but only thought for a while before laughing again: "The kid doesn't match the truth, he really begs for a fight." ”
Gao Yun smiled, stretched out his hand to fill the two of them with wine, and waited for Yan Xiang to speak again.
"So, the lord of this death is fully responsible for you?"
"Exactly." Gao Yun said: "The junior just heard the words of Don't Drive, and it seems that he already knows about it, but I don't know why I still want to ask? ”
"The old man just thought that you would come, but he didn't know that you were the lord of the king's life. It's right to think about it, according to Yang Hong's character, he should push such offending things to you, a person who has no family background in Jianghuai. ”
Yan Xiang picked up the wine glass and looked at it for a while, but after thinking about it, he put the wine glass back on the table.
"You don't have to be surprised, since you became the master, the old man has made things difficult with you many times, to put it bluntly, the old man has already regarded you as an opponent, and now the old man is in prison, as an opponent, you come to see what is wrong with the old man?"
"Don't talk about it, I never thought so in my later life..."
Before Gao Yun's words were finished, Yan Xiang had already interrupted with a wave of his hand.
"You are a smart man, and the son of the world is also a smart man, the old man has long known this. I don't believe you can't see that the lord will be trapped in the land of eternal life, I just want to know what you mean, I don't need to say more, I just want to hear yes or no. ”
Gao Yun raised his head and met Yan Xiang's eyes, gritted his teeth and finally spit out a word, "Yes." ”
"Yes?" Yan Xiang's expression was immediately soothed, followed by a wild laugh, his beard shaking as he laughed, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Gao Yun's answer.
"In this way, the old man will be relieved, it seems that Shouchun is not everyone's muddy, since you and the prince do not support the lord to be the emperor, then even if the old man is a vain ghost, what is the injustice?"
"Don't drive..."Gao Yun was a little speechless, and finally could only say: "Actually, I and the son..."
"I don't need to say much..."Yan Xiang interrupted Gao Yun's words again, "I am already a dying person, and I have no interest in knowing your plan for a long time, as long as the old man understands that you will prevent the lord from becoming emperor and will keep the peace of the people of Jianghuai, it is enough." ”
Yan Xiang immediately raised his glass after speaking, hesitated for a while and said: "The old man usually never drinks heavily, but recently he has been very happy, so he can drink it!" ”
Seeing Yan Xiang raise his glass, Gao Yun immediately responded, made a standard toasting etiquette, and said, "Don't drink in the late life." ”
The two drank it all, looked at each other again for a while, Gao Yun got up and poured a full cup of wine, and Yan Xiang on the other side saw all this in his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "I think we have been competing with each other for half a year, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was you Gao Yun who came to give me a ride, I don't know if this is a fateful arrangement, but in the old man's opinion, this is already very satisfying." ”
"Don't drive like this, if you don't drive, it's also a matter of time to come to drink with other drivers every day."
"Daily?" Yan Xiang looked up at the dark roof of the prison, with a hint of emptiness in his eyes, "Where are there so many days?" Even if Zi Si and the old man have this heart, but this thief is always not as good as people want! ”
Yan Xiang shook his head, as if he was regretting, and he also seemed to sigh, "Good things are enough once, and if there are more, there will be shortages..."
