There are two major prisons in Thang Long Province, one is a serious prison dedicated to serious offenders. The second is a water prison dedicated to dangerous prisoners.

The so-called water prison does not mean that the prison is built in water, or that the prisoners in the prison are in the water. In fact, the water prison means that the place where the prison is located is surrounded by water, and there is only a narrow chain bridge leading to the water prison, and it is very difficult for anyone to rob the prison from here.

The location of the water dungeon is on Dongyang Lake in the northwest of the palace, and it used to be considered a well-defended place, but now that a large number of soldiers have been added to guard it, it is obvious that there is another heavyweight here.

I believe many people have already guessed who is in the water prison, that's right, it is Li Zhiba, the king of Guannan.

As a prince, Li Zhiba will enjoy the treatment of the prince even if he is locked up in prison.

Li Zhiba was specially kept in a separate cell, with beds, tables and chairs, spacious, dry, and a decent environment.

In the past two days, Li Zhiba began to exercise after eating, and when he was tired, he lay on the bed and slept.

On the third day of entering the water prison, Li Zhiba's cell was opened, and Li Junren walked into the prison accompanied by seven or eight guards.

Li Zhiba, who was lying on the bed, glanced at Li Junren and smiled: "What? Bringing so many people here is afraid that this king will kill you? ”

Li Junren did not answer Li Zhiba's question, and said directly: "Three days later, it will be the succession ceremony of the widow, if you are willing to show your allegiance to the widow in public at the succession ceremony, you are still the king of Guannan." ”

Li Zhiba glanced at Li Junren and sneered twice: "You are the king? Do you feel worthy of being king? ”

After Li Zhiba finished speaking, he shook his head, then closed his eyes slightly and ignored him again.

"Since this is the case, the widow will no longer force you, but if the widow is you, the widow will not think about himself, but also for the lives of dozens of people in his palace."

Hu Li Zhangba suddenly breathed and his eyes opened.

The guards in the cell subconsciously became vigilant, as if Li Junren's words just now had angered a sleeping lion.

Li Zhiba sat up and looked at Li Junren, gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "You dare?" ”

Li Junren smiled slightly, he didn't seem to have any worries, he said lightly: "You know the way, few people dare." ”

"Your eleven-year-old son is also said to be born with divine powers, and he is already as tall as an average adult at that age, and he can dance the Nine Tyrant Great Ring Sword. It would be a shame if such a genius was gone. ”

"Li Junren! The two countries are at war and do not kill each other, and the two families have no grudges as good as their wives and children, what kind of man are you doing this? Li Zhiba shouted loudly.

Li Junren smiled slightly and said: "The Han people have a saying that few people think is very reasonable, called 'small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband'." ”

Li Zhiba gritted his teeth, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his face bulged. He took two deep breaths and said, "Okay, this king promises you." ”

Li Junren smiled even more happily, he clapped his hands and said, "Wouldn't it be good to say yes earlier?" That way, the widow won't say so many things that make everyone unhappy. ”

After speaking, Li Junren walked out of the prison.

Li Zhiba was silent for a while, and suddenly roared. Then a loud "click" was heard, and the two jailers guarding outside the cell quietly stuck out their heads to take a look, and it turned out that Li Zhiba had smashed the table in the cell into several large pieces with one punch.

Outside the water prison.

The two jailers guarding the door knelt down to Li Junren and saluted him to see him off.

About half an hour later, Li Junren took a few more guards to the door of the water prison.

The two jailers guarding the door were slightly stunned, and hurriedly saluted Li Junren again: "See Your Majesty." ”

Li Junren nodded and said, "The widow still has a little matter to ask King Guannan about clearly, so let's lead the way." ”

"Yes." One of the jailers immediately turned around and led Li Junren to the water prison.

Coming to the door of the cell again, Li Junren motioned to the jailer to open the lock of the cell, and then waved his hand and said, "All retreat, the widow wants to talk to King Guannan alone." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The jailers immediately retreated, and several guards who came with Li Junren stood guard at the door, and two of them walked into the cell with Li Junren.

Li Zhiba saw that Li Junren's face was obviously very displeased, and he said coldly: "What? What farts haven't been released, and you still want to disgust this king? ”

Li Junren, who entered the cell, breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly turned to speak in Chinese: "This Annan language is really fucking difficult to learn, why is it so difficult to speak." ”

Li Zhiba was stunned for a moment, and the voice of "Li Junren" seemed to have changed.

"Lord Wang, long time no see." Suddenly, a guard next to "Li Junren" stepped forward and saluted Li Zhiba. Li Zhiba glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise: "Jiang Xia? ”

That's right, the people who re-entered this prison at this moment are Jiang Xia and them, and they naturally don't need to say much about being in charge of pretending to be Li Junren, except for Yin Renmian, who doesn't think about it as a second person.

Jiang Xia looked at Li Zhiba with a slight smile, he pointed at Yin Ren and said, "This one is not Li Junren, but a friend of mine." ”

"The head is a subordinate," Yin Renmian corrected.

Jiang Xia smiled and didn't continue to say more to Yin Ren on this issue. He said to Li Zhiba: "Lord Wang, I am here to save you from the army. ”

Li Zhiba glanced at Jiang Xia, smiled and said, "Little thing, you won't come to help this king for no reason, right?" Let's talk about the conditions first, and then this king will see if he wants you to save it. ”

Jiang Xia was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he smiled and asked, "Can't you just go out and talk about the conditions?" ”

"Are you stupid? This king is gone, what bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with this king? So it's better to make it clear here. ”

Jiang Xia admired this King of Guannan a little in his heart, he nodded after thinking about it, and then pulled over a round stool and sat down.

Jiang Xia said: "Believe in my conditions, you should have guessed it." ”

"Want this king to support you on the throne?" Li Zhiba shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, this king will not watch the throne fall into the hands of a person with a foreign surname, and this king will never agree." ”

Jiang Xia smiled: "Then if I tell you that I never thought of being the king of your Annan Kingdom, what would you choose?" ”

"And what are your conditions?"

"Help like a willow."

Jiang Xia looked at Li Zheng and said: "I have carefully checked your past, you are the righteous son of the deceased King Li Gan of Guannan, and you have followed Li Gan to fight in the north since you were a child, he has no heirs, so he regards you as your own, and you are probably also watching him as your biological father, right?"

Li Gan was the eldest prince at the time, and it stands to reason that he was the heir to the throne. However, the old king passed the throne to Li Zhen's father, Li Boer, who was Li Gan's younger brother. And the king who had just passed away also inherited the throne from his father.

If my guess is correct, I am afraid that you have always thought that it should be your father-in-law Li Gan who should really sit on the throne of the king, and the reason why you rebelled is because it is not worth it for him, right? ”

"That's right, if it weren't for the trickery of that despicable boy of Libor, how could the king's father-in-law lose the throne?" Li Zhiba did not hide anything and directly admitted it.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Didn't you think that the old king would not pass on the throne to your stepfather, the reason is very simple, because he has no heirs."

"He has!" Li Zhiba said with some excitement: "The princess once gave birth to a son to her father-in-law, but he died before he was a year old. The king sent someone to check, and he was suffocated by someone covering his mouth and nose. It was Li Gan, who was afraid that his father-in-law would have a son who could inherit the throne and therefore be able to become a king, so he sent someone to kill his father-in-law's son! ”

"You're wrong." Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "All this is just your guess, but the truth is not like this. The fact is that the son is not Li Gan's at all, it is the evil seed conceived by the princess who betrayed her husband and stole Han. And that child was killed by your father's hand. ”

"You fart!" Li Zhiba yelled, grabbed Jiang Xia and said, "You are talking nonsense!" If you dare to slander the king's father-in-law, you will seek death! ”

"Bang!"

"Oh" Li Zhiba, who was furious, suddenly exclaimed in pain, Jiang Xia is not a person who likes to be used to bad temper, and he did not hesitate to give him a slap in the face. Even if you are an invincible god of war, even if you are a general of a thousand armies, a slap of the yin leg will still make you clench your legs and unable to stand up.

Jiang Xia tidied up his clothes, and he took out a letter and a bracelet from his arms.

Jiang Xia said: "This letter was written by your stepfather Ning to the princess before he died, and it was used to apologize to her, and this bracelet is a token of love given to the princess by your stepfather." I'm sure you know all the handwriting and stuff, so take a look for yourself. ”

Li Zhiba glanced at Jiang Xia, and he took the letter and bracelet and looked at it in a daze.

After reading the contents of the letter word by word, Li Zhiba was stunned. He seemed to have lost his spirit, and sat back on the round stool in a dejected manner.

He was never discouraged when he was deeply trapped in the enemy camp, and he was never discouraged when he was surrounded by thousands of troops, but now such a letter suddenly made Li Zhiba think that he was suddenly dozens of years old.

He asked in a low voice, "How did you get this letter?" ”

"I asked people to check your life history, and after learning the reason why you have been at odds with His Majesty the King, I boldly speculated, and then found someone to go to the princess's house to find her for verification. It took a few twists and turns for the princess to tell us the truth.

For the princess, this is a shame and a stain on the late King of Guannan. She wouldn't have said it in this life and this life, but she finally said it, for what? It's because she wants you to remember that the former king of Guannan fought in the north for Annan, and even if he fell to the throne later, he was loyal to the king at that time. He passed on the title to you because he wanted you to continue to be a loyal and good general of Annan, not a rebel of Annan.

To tell you the truth, I didn't come to Annam to be a colt or a king. I can only repay the kindness and repay the life-saving grace of Ruliu. I came here for only one purpose, and that is to help Li Ruliu ascend to the throne."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, Li Zhiba was dumbfounded, looking at him like a madman.
