Section 156 Imagination
(6.4 First Update)
"Terrible pig iron, as hard as its tanned skin, what a terrible design!"
Prince Rahan twisted the iron gate of freedom with his bare hands, but he did not shake the solid foundation and maintained his demeanor, mocking the architect's choice of materials.
The deacon's change of angle did not improve in the slightest, and the iron gate was like a natural thing rising from the ground.
"It looks like a device with some kind of dark matter fit that can't be conquered by human power alone."
I looked at Si Qi who was sorting out the chains, and he was always able to find a gap in his busy life and complete some processes that outsiders couldn't understand.
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
"Well, how does the young master want to get out of trouble? Perhaps you can pray for the divine power bestowed by the gods to break through the blockage. ”
Si Qi's fingers were still repeating boringly, carefully pulling out the thin copper wire inside the rope and discarding it on the ground at will.
"I don't have your bad qualities to pitied the gods, what are you doing, weaving life-saving straws?"
"Who knows!"
The elusive Siqi was also the most difficult to communicate, and I laughed disdainfully and stopped disturbing his work.
"Bell, come and see!"
Xiao Yi is always intoxicated with innocent joy, a guinea pig stuck in a slit, squeaking for help.
"Let's help it escape!"
Xiao Yi took my hand and stroked my hairy head, which is a necessary emotional exchange, melting away strange barriers, and it feels good.
"Count, have you thought of a way to abscond?"
Prince Rahan also crouched down and watched, asking me about a way out of the predicament.
"No, no clue!"
Rahan sighed slightly, his expression low like that of this guinea pig. Gently holding the wooden board on the crack, it squirmed out, jumped in the palm of my hand, and spun around.
"Young Master, you seem to have gotten acquainted with a new partner, and it has also provided me with good inspiration."
Siqi grabbed the mouse, measured its size, and put it back on the ground. The blank face of the guinea pig is also the emotional sustenance of the remaining four of us.
It was only when Siqi pulled the hollowed-out hemp rope and tied it to the tail of the mouse, driving it over the iron gate that made us suddenly realize.
The mouse, in the direction of the rope, climbed up the drunkard's shoulder, searching for the metallic key. After locking the target in the corner of the table, he slipped back with the keychain in his hand.
"It's worthy of Mr. Siqi, it's an incredible design, but it's a very simple combination."
After witnessing it with his own eyes, the deacon worshiped Si Qi with joy and sincerity, took the key, unscrewed the chains of detention, and the iron gate was easily opened.
Several intoxicated guards, still immersed in the sweet smell of wine, did not notice the danger of being lifted in the slightest. The deacon drew the short knife soaked in alcohol on the table, ready to stage a bloody zeal.
"Wait!"
Si Qi stopped the deacon from completing the steps, closed the chain, and gently placed the key back on the table.
"The illusion of evaporation in the world will make the case even more confusing!"
This is Si Qi's explanation of flirtation, which shows his bad taste all the time.
Knowing the terrain, the guinea pig leads the way to the free passage ahead, and the dark stone steps are a little slippery. I grabbed Xiao Yi's arm to prevent her from falling in excitement.
The stone wall above the head is also seeping water droplets, but it is not cold.
"This is probably a building dug near the lake! The dampness is scented with aquatic plants. ”
Siqi's speculation is that the geography is trustworthy, and the lakes after storms, temporarily congested rivers, will overflow into the surrounding open space, that is, floods that farmers fear.
"Prince Rahan, I hope you can return to China and turn yourself in after you escape!"
In the dark shadows, the prince's face could not be seen, but his silence could be heard.
"Foreign forces will use you as a breakthrough to fight back, if your fall will lead to the fall of the kingdom of Kologne, I will be the first to execute you!"
"But the hatred of the fathers, the hatred"
A slight sobbing was added to the silence, helpless and sentimental.
"Uncle Tucker must have his own troubles! Uncle Tucker in my eyes is the embodiment of justice, and perhaps it is some misguided friction that leads to your prejudice. ”
Xiao Yi comforts the wounded prince, perhaps it is just a futile effort.
"Gentle deliverance may be a little outdated, and it is very presumptuous to deny the attitude you maintain." After apologizing, Si Qi continued to add, "Although I haven't witnessed that period of history, I can also grasp some of the existing clues, and the same is true for the young master!" ”
Si Qi shifted the topic to me again, and the laziness of shirking always couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only accept it silently.
"Well, first of all, the part of the incident, if King Tucker unites forces to sanction your father, but connives the survival of his juniors, and even rewards the prince, it is too unnatural."
"Perhaps it was his self-reproachful pity that tried to cover up his sins with forgiveness, which could be regarded as compensation for my comfort!"
Prince Rahan's reasoning is also reasonable, and the apparent comfort is sometimes an implicit constraint.
Of course, that's also a hypothetical imagination, and I wouldn't deny it. But you're a little too laid-back about your recent experiences. ”
"What does the Count mean?"
"The true crime of rebellion has been forgiven again! Your route of exile is a merchant ship by sea, and the loading and unloading of cargo at each stop is delaying time. On the other hand, the transmission of information by land is much faster, and the return trip between the imperial capitals of the two countries only takes three days, so you should have more than a day and a half to escape. ”
"Indeed, the date of our tossing in the waves should be more than three days, but what does that mean?"
The deacon calculated a more accurate schedule, but failed to pay attention to the deep meaning, and the silent prince probably felt the same way.
"Quite simply, if the king were to punish you, there would be no ball tonight. Siqi's efficiency is obvious to all, maybe just one night, or even less, and you will be arrested. ”
The prince's firm conviction had been shaken, and the long silence was a speechless dialectic.
"Maybe it's your rejection, and you don't know the qualities of the king, so let me briefly introduce it. Outwardly brutal and inwardly gentle is almost a well-known attribute, otherwise there will be no room for you to revolt. ”
The prince slipped under his feet and fell on the steps.
"Master, are you alright?"
The deacon hurriedly helped the prince up in the dark, and the tacit understanding that had been cultivated for a long time would always be inadvertently displayed.
"It's okay, it's just that the overhead heart suddenly loses its sense of balance. I was very benefited by the Count's words, but until I confirmed them, I still reserved my opinion. ”
The relieved prince decides to try to embrace the transformation of something new, and although it doesn't sound gentle, it's not pedantic either.
"Brother Rahan, can you tell me about what happened in the palace?"
Xiao Yi asks about the pain of the prince's scar, which is also the story I was looking forward to, and the coughing Siqi also hints at his deep interest.
"It's up to you to relay it for you!"
The prince instructed the deacon to pour out the bitter consequences of failure, and he did not refuse.
"Yes! At that time, the prince contacted and bribed the king's full-time doctor, and coerced him to announce that the king was suffering from a serious illness and needed closed treatment. The king did not suspect it, after all, it was normal for him to become ill from overwork. ”
"Sure enough, from the very beginning, your defeat was doomed."
Si Qi interrupted the deacon's narration about the plot, and also ended the absurd farce early.
"Huh?"
The deacon and the prince were amazed in unison, unable to believe that the conspiracy could only last for a short time.
"You seem to have overlooked King Tucker's physique, he was born in the army, and he also has a basic judgment of physical coordination, and it is easy to define a malignant disease, but it is difficult to execute."
"So that's the case, and the rest of the process is just a show to confuse and lure us to expose? No wonder when we were pushing the palace with our teeth and claws, the king was calmly dragging his teacup and waiting. ”
The deacon's sudden awakening replaced the facts that had happened, and found that all grievances had become logical.
"And forcing the palace is also the lowest mistake, as the center of political centralization, there are many secrets that cannot be seen, and even behind every brick of the palace wall, there is a killing machine."
Listening to Si Qi's narration, both the prince and the servant couldn't help but swallow deeply.
"Then we fell into a trap that had been set up in advance, and our guard was almost completely wiped out, except for me, the prince, and the family members stationed at the manor who fled from the border of the kingdom of Cologne."
The deacon's narrative is somewhat sad, supporting the fallen prince, and reenacting the embarrassment of the time.
"Although I don't want to make any more mistakes, the facts are always undeniable. You should not have been able to see the activities of the eagle dogs, because the king has been extra lenient with you. ”
"Eagle dogs? It is indeed an unfamiliar term, but just by superficial deterrence, it can be concluded that it is almost a first-class perfect killer! ”
The doubts I added were confirmed by the deacon, and his reasoning was almost perfect.
"They're imaginative geniuses!"
Maybe it's incomplete, but at this moment, the story stops rehearsing. (To be continued.) )
