Chapter 34: The Untimely "Visitor"
"Come on, I'm afraid I'm crazy to ask you this in this prison." I retracted my gaze and began to pack my things: "It's not too late, I should go back." β
Seeing me like this, Chen Yi had a panicked and anxious look on his face: "Bingran, I ......"
At this time, there was an inopportune footstep sound, and in this prison, the degree of fright was no different from that of a ghost movie.
My whole body froze, the panic on Chen Yi's face was swept away, and again, he protected me behind me.
A pair of feet in boots stopped in front of the cell door, and the feeling of oppression on the visitor made me goosebumps rise all over my body. But at this time, Chenyi's situation is afraid that it is difficult to protect itself, and I ...... If he really can't handle it, I'll have to protect him.
The person outside the door glanced at me and Chen Yi condescendingly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of ridicule: "There are still beauties in prison who add fragrance to the red sleeves on the side, and I can't complain that General Gu has never let go, it seems that he doesn't want to go out." β
Chen Yi smiled coldly: "Prince Yi came to this thorny place late at night, and Chen Yi thanked the prince for his visit. β
"Stubborn." The "Prince Yi" had a look of anger on his face, and Chen Yi quietly protected me backwards.
Coming back to my senses from the initial fright, I suddenly thought that there were still two guards at the gate of the prison, this person was the prince, and Ye Ziqi was Qincha, it was estimated that it was okay to say, but Achu ......
I don't know if the ability of people in the royal family to observe words and emotions is more powerful than that of a fox, my every move was watched by Prince Yi, and he naturally wouldn't let me go, and smiled playfully: "The little lady is thinking about the two who are guarding the door?" β
I looked up suddenly, his face was full of smiles, but his eyes were cold: "The little lady in the red dress outside is also wearing a veil, is she with you?" It's not bad, but fortunately, Ye Ziqi's guy knows the current affairs and desperately stops the little lady from letting him do it, otherwise,"
His ridiculous voice added some anger for no reason: "That little lady's head should become General Gu Si's meeting gift." β
I shook a little, both glad that Achu should be fine, but also disgusted by this prince's quirk of using human heads as a greeting gift, is this to build a view of Beijing!
Chen Yi quietly held my hand, and his face was calm: "This Miss Shen and her friends braved the hardships and dangers to take the initiative to rush to Dasheng Pass to treat the plague patients, and they are people who have made meritorious contributions to our country, why should the prince scare her so much?" β
"Oh, the plague is not solved, so let's start to show merit first?" Prince Yi really has some thorns in every sentence: "Miss Shen's title...... Tsk, General Gu just called him affectionately, what Bingran ......"
Chen Yi hasn't answered yet, but like this, with a gun and a stick, yin and yang weird, and a conversation that can't finish one thing for a long time, I am tired of listening to Chen Yi, and since this Prince Yi is catching me, I can't just let Chen Yi be tired of dealing with him there, so he said loudly: "The prince has good ears, the slave family's surname is Shen, and the name is Bingran, of course there is no problem for you to call your name directly, if you don't dislike and are willing to call Dr. Shen, the slave family is also very honored." β
A hint of surprise flashed in Prince Yi's eyes: "You little lady, you are quite bold." β
Nonsense, running to the prison in the middle of the night, this dare is not big! I thought so, and of course I couldn't shout out to him that kind of truth.
"The prince came here late at night to visit General Gu, who was infected with the plague, and the slave family also admired the prince's courage." I deliberately accentuated the words "plagued".
Prince Yi took a few steps back quietly. I said in my heart that he really didn't know Chenyi's condition, otherwise he would have dared to run over like this and sneer at him if he knew in advance that there was a "plague" in the prison, and he would have been a little bolder.
The prison was already closed, and the prisoners could not move around at will, so it was a good "quarantine area", but most of the doctors would not come here to see a doctor, and the environment was difficult, so the prisoners could only wait to die if they were infected with the plague.
I was thinking that Prince Yi could leave quickly because he was afraid of the plague, but I underestimated his heart, but I saw that he was expressionless and said: "General Gu is infected with the plague, this king is deeply unfortunate, but I don't want to affect others if I want to come to the general, so it is better for this king to sacrifice his life for righteousness." β
Chen Yi's fist was clenched tightly unconsciously, but he just said: "Miss Shen has nothing to do with the grievances between the prince and the Gu family, tonight is also my pain and reluctance to show that I managed to deceive her, she is just an innocent woman with a benevolent heart, not to mention that the sick people of Dingyan City also need her for treatment, and please let her and her friends go first!" β
I know what he means, but who knows what the result will be if I pull my legs away, even if he has the ability to escape death, how can I go with peace of mind?
"Li Jing! You dare to touch my fourth brother! A violent voice sounded not far away, and it was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and this title, Fourth Brother......
So, I just made a courtship to his brother in front of someone who was supposed to be Chenyi's younger brother, well, so to speak, courtship? Hitting on someone?
But the situation didn't leave me time for embarrassment, and I tried not to stammer: "What does the prince mean by sacrificing his life for righteousness?" β
He chuckled lightly and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to step forward: "Loyal General Gu Bai, when he was fighting against Beirong in Dingyan City, he unfortunately contracted the epidemic, fearing that he would affect others, so he committed suicide. This Wang Gan general sacrificed his life for righteousness, and will definitely entrust the general's righteous deeds to the saint and show mercy to the general's family. β
His gaze turned to me, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "As for this little lady, if you leave now and pretend that nothing happened, this king will consider letting you go." β
And then I'm going to be killed by you, I said to myself.
Chen Yi gave me a look and asked me to leaveβthough I saw Prince Yi's face turn white when he spoke of me.
Gu Chenyi knew that Prince Yi would never let her go easily, but leaving at this time, in his opinion, was better than dying in prison with him now or escaping from prison with injuries in a violent manner.
The squires with knives pressed forward, and looking at the burly figures of these men, I had no doubt that they would break through the prison door.
People always think of a lot of things at the moment of life and death, and the joys and sorrows of a lifetime fly by in front of your eyes like a movie. Although I have experienced several life-and-death situations in order to come to Dingyan City, this is the first time I have such a moment.
There is always a price and sacrifice to protect others, especially when the price is life, but everyone has to have some time to weigh the decision, and the time to make the decision depends on the weight of the person you want to protect in your heart.
As for the matter of protecting Chen Yi and gambling on his life, I had spent two days before, so I didn't hesitate at this time.
I stood up, and everyone thought I would know the current affairs and leave, and then I hugged Chen Yi and used my body to block the sword light that was coming towards him.
The abrasion was rubbed and it seemed to start bleeding again, so it hurt, but I got used to the pain.
Chen Yi was shocked: "Bingran, don't be stupid, go quickly!" β
"What are you going to do, I'm afraid you'll die if I walk out of this door!" My voice suddenly increased.
Well, I really wasn't so fearless, otherwise I wouldn't even have a trembling voice and a crying voice.
One of the sword-wielding attendants shouted, "Get out of here! β
"What qualifications do you have to let me go!" I looked sideways at him, and my voice rose a few degrees: "Your master is afraid of the plague, and you are not afraid of death?" Listen to his orders, dirty your own hands, worth it? Even I can make my own decisions, how can you have the face to tell me to get out! β
There was a hint of appreciation in Prince Yi's eyes, but the woman in front of him only cared about holding that Gu Chenyi, and turned a blind eye.
Gu Chenyi was moved, his eyes were worried and distressed, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Bingran would be hurt. He suddenly felt a little guilty, and said that he wanted to protect her, but she was so scared that she still stood in front of him.
Prince Yi sneered: "Gu Bai, your confidante is really affectionate and righteous!" β
At this time, there were endless discussions and scolding, some of the complainants disturbed their dreams, some were frightened of the plague in the prison, and some of them were indignant that Gu Jiajun had been serving the country for many years but they were going to be faced with swords, although Prince Yi's men drew their swords and threatened to "be quiet" several times, but most of the people who squatted in the prison were not vegetarians, and it was difficult to scare them.
My gaze swept over Prince Yi's subordinates, and they were all resolute: "I'm putting my words here now, whoever dares to move General Gu will try to move me first!" I said to Prince Yi, "I am out for one day today, and if I die or disappear for no reason the next day, how will I explain it?" My companions are not good people like me, maybe it will be easy for the prince to shut them up, but before that, the prince is sure that he will not have a little trouble? β
Prince Yi narrowed his eyes. He came for "that thing" today, not to kill Gu Chenyi, so he didn't make relevant arrangements. He didn't know that Gu Chenyi had been infected with the plague, until he found out that Ye Ziqi secretly brought people to visit him and challenged his authority, and Gu Chenyi would not let go, so he had murderous intentions.
He thought that his subordinates could do this quietly, as for Gu Chenyi's treatment of the disease, it was just a country man, and a delicate and weak timid woman, maybe he didn't dare to speak when he knew his identity, it was easy to deal with it, he didn't even care about leaving her alive for a few days, after all, no civilian woman would have the courage to intervene in the grievances of a prince and a general, and her companion at the door was just a stupid girl who had learned a little rough kung fu in the countryside.
Therefore, when this little woman who called herself Shen Bingran suddenly protected Gu Chenyi, and woke up a group of prisoners because she was afraid of waking up a group of prisoners with her throat, he was both surprised and a little contemptuous in his heart - after all, it was a little woman.
He smiled contemptuously at Gu Chenyi and said, "Gu Bai, hiding behind a woman, you are still not a man?" β
Gu Chenyi didn't care about Prince Yi's cynicism, he surrounded me, and pain appeared in his eyes: "Bingran, silly girl, it's not worth paying for my life here." β
I said, "It's worth it, I made a decision in two days, so I'm here now, and I'm not going to change my mind." β
The arms that protected me were tighter, and if it weren't for this situation, I would have acted a bit like a lover in love.
