Chapter 418: Journey to the Rivers and Lakes (30)
When Ling Yu woke up, he couldn't help but touch the back of his head, a pain, and his neck and head felt like he had been slashed by someone. Cursed to herself, she struggled to sit up from the floor, taking in her surroundings.
A small stone room, damp and cold, dark outside, day and night. She knew that she must have been thrown into this strange cave by Zhou Sheng like a piece of cargo again.
She didn't know how long she had passed out, but she only knew that when she struggled into the cave, before she could see the shape clearly, the back of her neck was slashed by Zhou Sheng.
Sure enough, he didn't want her to know the secrets. Ling Yu tried to move his hands and feet, and while moving, he greeted Zhou Sheng's eighteenth generation ancestor upside down in his heart.
It was pitch black in the cave, there was not even a candle, and the wind blew and whined, like a ghost. She shrunk her neck, hating her heart. If you really want to imprison her here, it will be very bad, there is no sleeping place at all.
She was hesitating to call someone to protest, when suddenly there was a sound of stones rolling at the entrance of the cave, and there was a rustling sound, as if someone was slowly walking over.
"Hey, hey! Anyone? Anyone? She was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted.
"Shout what to shout! If you shout again, cut out your tongue! The rough voice shouted impatiently.
Ling Yu was naturally not afraid of his threat: "Hey, this big brother! You can't sleep here, can you change to a drier cell? ”
"Flutter", a very short and slight laugh, Ling Yu was stunned, and before he could react, the person who came snorted rudely: "Ya, the prisoner under the stairs still wants to live well, is your skin itchy!" ”
As he spoke, he walked over, the light on the torch swayed, and the whip in his hand slammed into the fence of the stone chamber with a "snap": "If you shout again, I will kill you!" ”
He snorted and left. Ling Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he saw the firelight disappearing into the darkness and sat down against the wall of the stone room.
Since she was born, she has suffered the most this time. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, Zhanfei told her to endure it, but at this time, how could she endure it when she was in this situation?
She snorted, subconsciously touched the stone on the ground and was about to throw it out as if angry, when something strange suddenly came from her palm. She couldn't help but "huh" and took the stone in front of her eyes to take a closer look.
It was indistinguishable in the dark, but it felt like a piece of paper. Her heart pounded violently, and she bit her lower lip to keep herself from making a startled sound. Could it be that the one who just now? She speculated wildly in her mind, and couldn't remember who he was for a long time, so she had to give up.
But what is written on paper? She looked at it for a long time, and put the note carefully in her arms with curiosity, in short, no matter what, Zhou Sheng would not kill herself easily, so she still had a chance to see who sneaked over and wanted to help her leave.
She thought, and there were many fewer grievances in her heart. At this moment, the fire flickered again, and someone approached.
"Open the door!" The cold voice was none other than Zhou Sheng.
Ling Yu hugged his arm and looked at him coldly: "What are you going to do!" ”
Zhou Sheng glanced at her, didn't say anything, and snorted coldly to the people who followed left and right: "Take her away." As he spoke, he walked ahead with his sleeves in front of him.
Ling Yu was caught between them and walked forward, one left and one right. The cave twists and turns, all the way down, it seems that the digging is very deep, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been spent on this secret place.
After walking for half an hour, the front of him was suddenly wide, and Ling Yu saw that it was actually a huge stone room. The floor is flat, and the four walls are very square.
Several masked men were surrounding a cobblestone table in the middle, looking intently at one of the things on the table.
"If someone brings it, it will be quicker to test it." Zhou Sheng walked up to them in a very bad tone.
"Hall Master Zhou, don't blame us for being cautious, in case this is not genuine...... How can we convince the Chinese people under the banner we are waving? You know, we're doing rebellion with our heads in our hands! An old voice spoke in a strange voice.
Ling Yu followed the prestige, and saw that the top one was a shriveled and thin old man, but it seemed that he seemed to be the person in charge of these people, and a few people did not speak, but he was the first to open his mouth to criticize Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng's face showed disdain: "Zhou naturally knows that you have sacrificed a lot, but are you willing to bow down to the Chu thief?" Do you recognize a thief as a king!? ”
When he said the last sentence, his eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire, and every word made several people in the seat suddenly dumb.
"This ...... Master Zhou, the stakes are very high, we just want to check the authenticity of this jade seal, if it is fake, how can we ask Chu Weiwen in the future...... "A strong man stood up and rounded the field.
Ling Yu's head "buzzed", and it suddenly went blank.
Decree?! What jade seal?! Could it be the jade seal that the lord of China presented when he went out of the city and surrendered?! But this is absolutely impossible, how could such a jade seal with such a high stakes fall on Zhou Sheng? In the hands of this Xinghua Society?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
She looked blankly at the masked people in the stone room, but saw that their eyes exposed outside their face carves were as suspicious as hers.
Zhou Sheng snorted coldly, took the iron box on the table in his hand, and took out a jade seal as white as snow. The four ancient characters could be faintly seen in the surrounding firelight.
An ominous premonition surged in Ling Yu's heart, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Sheng pointing at her violently: "Zhou knows that you still have doubts in your hearts, you must know whether this jade seal is the real jade seal of our country, as long as you sprinkle a few drops of the blood of the pure prince of Huaguo, the jade seal will become blue when it is stained with blood, and it will naturally be a real jade seal." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, several masked people began to chatter. Ling Yu's head was hot, and he said angrily: "You liar, the real jade seal has long been in the Chu Palace, how could it be taken away by you?" You must be a fake,"
Several masked men were also suspicious. Zhou Sheng seemed to be confident, his sleeves were flicked, and he pulled out a dagger from his boot and slashed it on his arm, and a few drops of blood splashed on the jade seal.
A little bit of blood beads slipped down, and the jade seal was as white as new. After he finished signaling, he pulled Ling Yu again, pressed her finger on the jade seal, and slashed the dagger. Before Ling Yu could exhale the pain, he saw the blood beads slowly gliding over the jade seal, and obviously, the jade seal began to change color, as if it had been smeared with rouge, and slowly bloomed.
The sight was so strange that everyone in the stone chamber exclaimed.
