Chapter 33: Extreme Recidivism
After Shangguan Hong captured Yu Tianzheng, he was afraid that there would be some mutations, so he immediately ordered all the soldiers to escort a cadre and wait to rush back to the capital overnight.
Du Xiaomeng, an important person who has a close relationship with Yu Tianzheng, of course, it is impossible for anyone to carelessly miss her. After Shangguan Hong ordered someone to lower her from the flagpole, he was kind enough to untie the rope that was wrapped around her, and then just tied her hands and threw her into the carriage back to Beijing.
Compared to her situation, Yu Tianzheng, who was in the same carriage with her, looked much more miserable.
The silver armor on his body was unequivocally stripped off by Shangguan Hong, who locked his hands behind his back with chains thicker than his thumbs, and put heavy shackles on his feet. This situation is clearly the treatment of heavy prisoners or death row prisoners. is so firmly bolted, even if someone wants to rob Yu Tianzheng, he can't run fast if he drags such a burden.
However, even if Yu Tianzheng became a prisoner, he was still a captive with status and status, a god-like figure with countless worshippers in the Qi Yang Kingdom. Shangguan Hong dared to arrest him. But they didn't dare to drag around the ranks like they did with other captured guards. Now that the overall situation is undecided, if it does, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. So, Shangguan Hong got a carriage to stuff Yu Tianzheng into the carriage and pull it back to the capital to avoid people's eyes.
The carriage carrying Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng was originally used to transport goods, and the empty and dirty carriage had no seats, only a layer of moldy and smelly rotten grass.
When Du Xiaomeng was thrown in, Yu Tianzheng was already in the car. He sat upright at the back of the carriage, and even in the harsh situation of being reduced to a prisoner's chain, he still looked calm and calm. That kind of royal family, as the future heir to the throne, has not been detracted from in the slightest.
Du Xiaomeng fell on the rotten grass with a dull face and a sad look at Yu Tianzheng, and asked faintly: "You say, if I tell your brother that I am actually not so familiar with you, will he believe it?" ”
Yu Tianzheng saw her being thrown in, and was about to step forward to see if she was in trouble, but he didn't expect to hear that she would throw such a question. He was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and replied, "You can try." ”
After answering, he dragged the heavy chain to her side, and asked uneasily, "Xiaomeng, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”
As soon as he asked like this, Du Xiaomeng, who looked sluggish, seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, sat up with a "whew" and shouted at Yu Tianzheng: "You idiot, you stupid?" Knowing what will happen if it falls into your brother's hands, why do you surrender without fighting? Don't you know what it means to stay in the green mountains, even if there is no firewood?! When she was excited, she didn't care about the inconvenience of her hands being tied, and she raised her fists and slammed into Yu Tianzheng's body, "Stupid! Why do you want to surrender! ”
She was so excited, a big reason was that Yu Tianzheng's surrender extinguished her hope of living, and in Yu Tianzheng's eyes, her excitement was another matter.
I saw the corners of Yu Tianzheng's mouth curl up slightly, raised his eyes full of smiles and looked at Du Xiaomeng, let her beat her body, and asked, "You care about my safety very much?" ”
Just now, Shangguan Hong said that Du Xiaomeng had a deep affection for him, and asked him if he was moved, to be honest, he was very moved at that time. The woman he cares about can still think of him in that environment, and would rather be in danger than let him go quickly and leave her alone, just ask, can he not be moved? He was more happy than moved, if she didn't have him in her heart, would she still do such a thing?
Yu Tianzheng's question made Du Xiaomeng even more excited. She slammed her fist down on the bastard who had lost her hope in life, and shouted angrily, "Who cares about you? Laugh! You're still laughing! Now it's all like this, and you can still laugh! As soon as we return to the capital, your good brother will fry us and tear us apart! Won't you be okay if you run away? Even if you don't want to run, you won't necessarily lose if you fight to the death with Shangguan Hong, why don't you surrender obediently if you don't run or fight! Although she knew in her heart that one of the main reasons why Yu Tianzheng surrendered easily was because she fell into the hands of Shangguan Hong, and Shangguan Hong used her life as a threat, she still couldn't help but lose her temper at Yu Tianzheng.
As she spoke, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but think that now this body would soon be destroyed, and when the time came, her soul didn't know where to float again, and everything that was now was reset to zero again, thinking of this, she felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness in her heart, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and her voice was choked in her throat.
Seeing her like this, Yu Tianzheng smiled and said guiltily: "Xiaomeng, I'm really sorry for affecting you." ”
Du Xiaomeng glared at him with teary eyes and said, "We are grasshoppers tied to a rope now, is it useful to say sorry?" Say I'm sorry, your brother will let me go, can't you? If you say I'm sorry, he won't want me to bury you? ”
Yu Tianzheng stared at Du Xiaomeng's teary eyes, and wanted to hug her into his arms to wipe away the tears in her eyes, but his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't do anything. He had to sigh lightly and said, "You can bear with me for a while, Brother Wang's goal is only me, and now that I have fallen into his hands, as long as I make it clear to him that you have nothing to do with me, he should let you go." ”
Du Xiaomeng asked rhetorically: "Do you think your words can still work at this point?" Will the third prince let me go because of your words? ”
Since she was a child, she has endured a lot of resentment that should have come against her biological mother. Although she is a child abandoned by her biological mother, in the heart of her biological father's eldest wife, who is blinded and distorted by resentment, torturing her "evil seed" is torturing her dead ghost husband who is unfaithful to her, and torturing the lowly vixen who robs her husband.
The various tortures he suffered back then have long made Du Xiaomeng clear that "the best way to take revenge on the person you hate the most is to destroy everything that person cares about the most". As Brother Jin said, the third prince Yu Tianjun has always had a grudge against Yu Tianzheng, and now that he has such a good opportunity, he will not use all means to completely destroy everything Yu Tianzheng cares about, so that Yu Tianzheng's life is better than death?
Yu Tianzheng looked at her with a solemn expression and said, "Xiaomeng, I said that I would never abandon you, and I surrendered to protect your integrity without a fight." ”
He paused and said as if assured, "No matter what, I will do my best to protect you and not let you get hurt more." ”
Du Xiaomeng glanced at the iron chains on Yu Tianzheng's body, this man who said that he would protect himself was unable to protect himself, how could she avoid the harm that was coming? Du Xiaomeng retracted her gaze, shrank back and leaned back against the cold wooden board, hugged her legs and hid her desperate face and tearful eyes behind her knees, and didn't say a word again.
Her appearance made Yu Tianzheng feel painful when he looked at it. But he didn't say anything, just sat there and watched her quietly, his starry eyes deepening.
