Chapter eighty-seven
Xiao Jingmo took Chu Wu to a place where no one was around, but there was a solemn atmosphere everywhere, Chu Wu estimated in her heart that with the speed and direction of Xiao Jingmo's light work, she guessed that this should still be in the palace.
But where it is, it's impossible for Chu Wu to know!
Anyway, it's always a place where Chu Wu hasn't walked, in fact, Chu Wu doesn't know anything about the palace, or doesn't understand it at all, let alone the layout of the palace, she doesn't even distinguish between the inner and outer courtyards of the palace!
After all, the palace is too big, and she hasn't been to a few places in the inner courtyard, let alone places that don't belong to the inner courtyard.
Chu Wu thought that this place was definitely not in the location of the inner courtyard, and she didn't know exactly where it was, so she could only obediently let Xiao Jingmo take it.
The two of them landed in a courtyard with two entrances, which was simply arranged, with blue bricks and black tiles, and was obviously simpler than any courtyard in the inner courtyard.
But Chu Wu felt from the bottom of her heart that this side was very unusual, the walls around the courtyard were all made of green essence stones and external fine green wood, let alone a person, not even a fly wanted to go out from here!
Not to mention that the outside of this yard is actually planted with a circle of tall trees, and the yard where ordinary people live will not be built like this, it would be too gloomy at night!
What's more, after maintaining a circle outside, Chu Wu couldn't see the variety of trees, these trees grew into a tall forest, and it was impossible to see that there was a small courtyard here from the outside.
But the strange thing is that the sun still shines in, and Chu Wu has to sigh that this place is really cleverly arranged!
After Chu Wu landed on the ground, she glanced at it casually, and found that although the layout here was very inconspicuous, it was full of mechanisms, which was very dangerous, and it was obviously a confidential place.
As soon as I entered this courtyard, I felt that this place was full of cold and dull atmosphere, and there was a sense of oppression that made people feel that they didn't even dare to look at it directly, and Chu Wu sensitively smelled an unusual and dangerous aura.
Xiao Jingmo gently put Chu Wu down, bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Let's go!" ”
Man went in naturally and did not explain anything.
The atmosphere here made Chu Wu unconsciously tense her body, knowing that Xiao Jingmo naturally had his purpose in bringing her here, so she didn't ask more!
Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his heel.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found that there was only one door in front of me, and the two doors of the gate were made of hard iron, which could not be opened by external forces.
When Chu Wan and Xiao Jingmo arrived, the two closed iron doors suddenly opened slowly with a "clang", revealing a dark passage with no end in sight, but there were torches burning on the walls on both sides of the passage, and it was the torches on both sides of the bluestone road that lit up, extending to the end that could not be seen clearly, which looked a little weird.
It feels like a dungeon to Chu Wu.
Thinking like this, Chu Wu couldn't help but turn her head to look left and right, raised her eyebrows in some surprise, and sighed in her heart that the mechanism here is really good!
Xiao Jingmo and Chu Yu continued to walk along the passage, the flaming torches elongating their shadows on the wall and intertwining, looking like a pair of lovers hugging each other.
The quiet bluestone passage showed that the steady footsteps of the two of them became clearer and more obvious, and the more they walked inside, the more clearly the things inside appeared in front of Chu Wu's eyes.
From a distance, it is very large and wide, there is no end in sight, and it is distributed in the shape of gossip, anyway, Chu Wu can't understand it, but the layout looks very similar to the gossip map of her time.
And on each road, the iron doors were tightly closed, blocking people's view and making it impossible to detect the situation inside, and at the same time, they became more and more curious about the closed doors.
The closer they got inside, the clearer their footsteps became, accompanied by some creepy and miserable screams, the sound was thin and sharp, and it was not clear if you didn't listen carefully, but it was this looming sound that made people more and more moved, frightened and frightened.
But even if it was a bloody picture, Chu Wu didn't react much, Chu Wu was already numb to this kind of thing, and she had no reaction to these bloody intestines and the like, so Chu Wu was still calm and expressionless.
Along the way, no matter how stupid she was, she could guess that this was the secret place where Xiao Jingmo usually held and interrogated enemies.
Chu Wu was a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't understand why Xiao Jingmo suddenly brought her to such a place full of secrets, she really didn't want to know at all and didn't want to know!
This kind of thing is always the more you know, the faster you die! She knows this better than anyone else.
However, based on her understanding of Xiao Jingmo these days, she thinks that Xiao Jingmo's purpose should not be this, or rather, is it to believe in herself completely? Treat her as one of your own?
Chu Wu was expressionless and secretly analyzed in her heart.
Xiao Jingmo, who was careless on the side but paid attention to Chu Wu from time to time, was originally worried that Chu Wu was a girl's family, no matter how strong her temperament was, she should be afraid of this kind of scene!
Unexpectedly, he looked all the way, and when he saw Chu Wu's indifferent face and unchanged expression, he knew that he was thinking too much!
Also, how can a person who kills a person be afraid of this kind of scene? Xiao Jingmo thought so, and thought helplessly: How could he think so much for this woman as soon as he met her!
Xiao Jingmo's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Follow me, don't step on the wrong step in this array." Otherwise..... It is very likely that you will end up with a thousand arrows piercing the heart! ”
Xiao Jingmo, who lowered his head and approached Chu Wu, said casually, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he glanced at Chu Wu slowly.
Chu Wu listened to Xiao Jingmo's gloomy tone in her ears, she was stunned for a moment, and her feet shook when she stepped out, she didn't expect that there was also a mechanism formation here!
"Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart?!" Chu Wu said in shock, her tone full of disbelief.
I was suddenly shocked, the corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I said happily: Fortunately, I have been very safe all the way! Didn't look around either! She didn't want to end up in such a miserable end, it must have been very sour.
I finally picked up a small life, if it was cold here, it would be ridiculous!
Xiao Jingmo's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his tone rose slightly: "Huh? Unbelief? Or.... Try? ”
He said this, his thin lips curled slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Chu Wu: "...."
The corner of his eyes twitched suddenly, he rolled his eyes very indecently, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Wang, I believe it, I believe it very much, so I won't try!" ”
Xiao Jingmo looked at Chu Wu's face was pale, and when she saw that she really believed what he said, she laughed a few times, her voice was clean and low, very good, but it relieved the depressed and dull atmosphere here a lot.
He didn't speak, he stretched out his hand to grab Chu Jingmo's slender waist, which shocked Chu Wu for a moment, and almost subconsciously punched Xiao Jingmo's handsome face with a bad smile.
But fortunately, she restrained the urge to do it in time, and gradually Chu Wu was almost used to this person's method of pulling her to walk lightly.
Xiao Jingmo's figure flashed, leaving only a purple afterimage looming, and the person disappeared.
The secret guard who was hidden in the shadows listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but wonder a little, not to mention why the prince suddenly brought a woman in, and.... How do you open your eyes and tell nonsense?!
They have no objection to bringing people in, and they don't dare to have objections, but after all, the people who can bring the prince in are their own people who can be trusted!
What they didn't expect was that there would be a woman who could be brought in by the prince in person, it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad, yes, they can't help but have some gossip in their hearts about who this woman is?!
However, they wondered even more, when did the dungeon passage of their feathers be equipped with such a powerful mechanism?! How did they not know?!
There are definitely dungeon traps in the feather department, but they are not used in such obvious places, but in extremely important places! And all of these places involve state secrets or places where extremely important people are held!
Moreover, apart from the prince, there are really few people in this world who can come down to the dungeon of the feather department through layers of strict guards!
Not to mention entering here, just the outer layer of the woods can't break in! Not to mention that there are layers of guards in the palace, even if someone comes in here, they can't break through the mechanism inside, let alone be surrounded by groups as soon as they enter!
Therefore, there is no need to install mechanisms in places like passages, let alone arrange a mechanism array of "ten thousand arrows piercing the heart"!
It's that they are all very puzzled in their hearts, but when they are bored, their faces are still expressionless, so that people can't see what they are thinking.
But Chu Wu didn't know that Xiao Jingmo was framing her, she was being taken around by Xiao Jingmo at this time, Xiao Jingmo's speed was too fast, she couldn't see anything clearly, but after a while, she was taken to stop.
The layout in this place can't go in by Chu Wu alone, so Xiao Jingmo simply brought her in! Save time taking her around.
Xiao Jingmo stopped in front of a simple cell, this place was different from the previous one, it was more simple or shabby, and even the door was just a simple wooden door.
Xiao Jingmo bowed his head slightly: "The person you want is there, what you want to do, whatever you want, wait for me here later, I'll go back when I go." ”
Xiao Jingmo explained casually, Chu Wu heard this, nodded slightly, knowing that Xiao Jingmo gave him a space, so he thanked him gently: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
Xiao Jingmo nodded slightly, and disappeared in a flash.
Chu Wu looked around and found that there was only such a broken wood room in the corner, so she raised her feet and walked around, and was slightly stunned when she saw the scene inside.
The messy straw was scattered everywhere, the dirty floor was filthy, and the walls inside were lit with torches, illuminating the mottled walls. There is both feces and urine, the smell is disgusting and pungent, and the dirty and fat rats are scurrying around, which makes people chill.
In the dark corner of the cell, a figure was curled up, one dressed in tatters, with only some mending barely covering some important parts, revealing white, dirty, and bruised skin.
At the sight of this, one can imagine what this person had been through, and she leaned against the corner as if she were dead, motionless, letting the dirty rats crawl on her.
Chu Wu couldn't help frowning slightly when she looked at such a scene, if she wanted to say sympathy, no, she had seen a lot of this kind of scene, but she didn't like to treat a woman like this in her heart, that's all.
If it weren't for the man with the mask who suddenly repented and saved himself, I'm afraid that the current Concubine Gu would be her previous self!
Yes, Chu Wu didn't sympathize with Concubine Gu at all, even if she didn't fall into Xiao Jingmo's hands and fell into her own hands, she just died a little more simply.
Chu Wu watched quietly for a while, until the people inside finally felt the movement at the door, and raised their dead eyes to look over.
These seductive peach blossom eyes are no longer as beautiful as before, and Concubine Gu, who was curled in the corner of the wall, was slightly stunned when she saw the purple figure standing faintly at the door, and then her dead and dull face suddenly became hideous and terrifying!
She stared at Chu Wu at the door hatefully, her eyes were eager to skin and eat Chu Wu's body, she looked like a demon and was terrifying, and she couldn't see her previous disdain and ridicule of Chu Wu.
Concubine Gu struggled to get up with her hands and feet, staggering and walking, but after all, she couldn't hold on to it and softened in the middle of the road, lying on the ground, raising her head and staring at Chu Wu viciously, and sneered: "Heh! How? Come and see if I'm dead? ”
Her voice was hoarse and terrifying, with a strong murderous intent.
Chu Yu glanced at her condescendingly, and said in a calm tone: "I'm not that boring"
Originally, as long as Concubine Gu stayed in the palace in peace, and didn't act recklessly, with Xiao Jingmo's temperament, as long as he didn't provoke him and didn't interfere with him, he didn't necessarily have to take Concubine Gu's life! At most, throw it in the backyard and ignore it! It's a pity that some people are just unwilling and ready to move.
Chu Wu thought about it and said coldly: "However, I have always held grudges, and when Concubine Gu sent someone to insult me, she should have thought that there would be today!" As I said, if I was allowed to escape, I would have a thousand ways to keep you alive and dead! But now I don't need to do it! It saved me a lot of effort. ”
When Concubine Gu heard this, she suddenly became angry in her heart, she was unwilling!
The expression on her face became more and more hideous, and she couldn't wait to cut Chu Wu with a thousand knives in her heart, so that she could also taste the humiliation she suffered!
Concubine Gu laughed coldly, and her voice was as piercing as a knife cutting through glass: "Hehe, Concubine Ben only hates herself for not planning well, she had an accident, and she was heeled!" Otherwise, you're not just by those three disgusting men! Instead, after being tortured by these three people, they were thrown into the lowest black kiln, and all kinds of dirty and filthy men served them all day long! After finishing it, she threw it naked on the street to let people look up and admire the body of the princess of Chu State, what a lowly woman! ”
Concubine Gu was immersed in her own thoughts, and said with a loud shriek, she felt relieved just by thinking about it.
Chu Wu's face remained unchanged when she listened, but she just looked at Concubine Gu's eyes becoming more and more cold.
Of course, she knew that if no one saved her, she would indeed end up with a miserable end like what Concubine Gu said!
This woman actually didn't intend to let her go from the beginning, otherwise the original body would not have died in that lake!
Chu Wu condescendingly looked down at Concubine Gu, and said lightly: "It's a pity, the person who is being tortured and lying here now is not me, but you!" Concubine Gu! ”
Concubine Gu listened to Chu Yan's indifferent tone, her expression became more and more annoyed and terrifying, and she shouted screamingly: "Hmph! Do you think you can stand here now, and you will be able to do it later? Do you really think Xiao Jingmo will like a slut like you?! It's just a chess piece of the enemy country, I really think I married a good husband?! Hehe! Xiao Jingmo won't let me go! I won't let you go in the end! You're just a pawn in his hands! You're going to die worse than I am! Hahahaha, this concubine is waiting for you below! ”
Concubine Gu's expression became more and more crazy when she said this, she raised her head and laughed wildly, her voice was cold and terrifying.
Hearing this, Chu Wu shrugged her shoulders, raised her good-looking eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Don't worry about you, will I die, what will happen in the end, anyway, Concubine Gu, you can't see it!" ”
Chu Wu learned Xiao Jingmo's casual tone and said, the angry Concubine Gu's body trembled more and more, looking at her eyes, I couldn't wait to eat Chu Wu alive now!
Of course, Chu Wan knew that what Concubine Gu said was actually right, Xiao Jingmo did treat her as a pawn, but at present, she was not a threat to Xiao Jingmo and even had benefits to him, so she was very safe at the moment, she was not a person who did not know the times, so she did not worry about this for the time being.
Chu Wu looked at Concubine Gu and narrowed her apricot eyes slightly, and said softly: "However, I'm more interested in another thing, the thing I fell into the water before was done by Concubine Gu?" ”
When Concubine Gu heard this, her face was a little distorted and she laughed a few times, raised her head arrogantly and said coldly: "What's the matter!" ”
As he spoke, his face suddenly changed, and he said viciously: "It's a pity! That didn't drown you slut! What a pity! ”
There was a deep sense of regret and anger in his tone.
There was a deep sense of regret and anger in the words of hatred.
In fact, she did have this plan when Chu Wu fell into the water before, but the people she sent came back and said that when they were looking for it, they happened to see Chu Wu's inexplicable figure crooked, and she fell into the lake that was a little remote.
Concubine Gu was really happy when she heard it at the time, whether it was her own death or someone else interfering, she didn't care!
As far as she is concerned, as long as Chu Wu is dead!
However, she didn't need to say whether this matter was really her doing, she could still make Chu Wu feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable by admitting this matter.
Moreover, maybe there are still people behind who want Chu Wu's life, she said that she didn't do it, wouldn't it make Chu Wu watch out and be vigilant?!
That's not good, she doesn't want Chu Wu to have a good time!
But I didn't expect Chu Wu, a lowly person, to be so fatal, and not die like this!
Thinking about this, Concubine Gu's face became more and more distorted and hideous, and she couldn't wait to crawl over and kill Chu Wu with a knife right now!
Chu Wu looked at Concubine Gu's distorted face and narrowed her apricot eyes slightly, listening to Concubine Gu's neat admission, Chu Woman had a strange feeling in her heart.
She always felt that the incident where the original body fell into the water was not so simple, although she couldn't say why, but she just felt that it was not that simple!
Especially Concubine Gu's eyes looked at her as if she was looking at a dead person, as if she was sure that she would definitely die!
And seeing that she didn't seem to be worried at all, and her heart was assured, Chu Wu couldn't help but feel a little strange.
However, with Chu Wu's speculation, the biggest mastermind behind this matter should be Concubine Gu, yes!
She really couldn't think of anyone except Concubine Gu!
First, his own death was the most beneficial to Concubine Gu! Second, with "Chu Wu", who would pay attention to her instead of killing her? ! Could it be that a chess piece that has been abandoned by others can stand in the way of anyone?
