Chapter Twenty-Eight: Trapped in Prison
Mo Ran said, pointing to the border lined with sentry posts ahead.
"Ahead is the border of the Western Chu Kingdom, you are ready..."
"Ready, even if it's bloody and bloody, I plan to go all the way to the dark."
disguised, but still did not escape the strict search.
"Who are you, and why did you come to my Western Chu Kingdom?"
"We are passing merchants, and please be accommodating."
"Merchant? Why do you look so angry? ”
When the stalemate was stalemate, Gui Longqin took out a silver ingot from his waist and quietly stuffed it into the soldier's hand.
The white jade whistle that was accidentally exposed and hidden in the waist shone brightly under the sunlight, making the soldiers dumbfounded.
The soldier stepped aside and whispered to the leader soldier next to him, "That whistle is the prince's personal belongings, presumably these people are the prince's people, do you want to inform the mother." ”
"Lock them up first, and this time we can get a reward."
The soldier stepped forward and waved his hand respectfully, "Please follow me to the yamen to register, and then you can enter the city." ”
Although he was unwilling, he could only follow them for the time being.
He followed the soldier all the way around and down, and finally stopped in front of a stone house around the corner.
The stone house is surrounded by dense trees, and it is really difficult to find this place if you don't look carefully.
"Wait here for a while, someone will come in a moment."
After a moment of greetings, the soldier disappeared outside the door, and the sound of the heavy wooden door closing, mixed with the sound of chains.
"Hey, why are you locking us up?" Ink ran to the door, only to find that the door was deadly closed, and through the crack in the window, it seemed that there were still many soldiers guarding.
It's just that no matter how much ink dye scolds, no one appears here again.
Silence, silence.
The three of them sat in their chairs, so silent that they could even hear each other's breathing.
"Second brother, you acted really well..."Gui Longqin stretched out his thumb.
"Shhh, be careful not to be heard by them, after walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, how can I be deceived by a few fools from them, I am worried that there is no clue, I want to see who can lock us up here."
"But I'm so hungry..."
"Wait, I'll go to the restaurant and get you something to eat at night."
"We're all still here, do you think we can still get out? Don't coax me. ”
Mo Ran blinked and whispered, "Just this broken place, and you still want to trap you?" Just look at it. ”
No one had been here until nightfall, and after two strokes of the ink dye flew to the beams and pillars of the house, and after two or three strokes of the sword in his hand, he saw that there was already a hole in the roof that was large enough for one person to pass through.
With a wave of his hand, the ink dye disappeared into the night.
"Big brother, you said that nothing would happen to the second brother, right? Why haven't you come back yet? ”
Holding his cooing stomach and looking at the hole in the roof again, Gui Longqin's heart was really relieved.
"It's okay, the second brother often prepares the master to escape to drink flower wine in the cottage, and he has never been discovered."
"Drink flower wine? The second brother still has this hobby? No wonder he hasn't married yet. ”
"Hehe..."Xue Duyuan was choked with tears by her words.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you... You have the owner and... I mean, the second brother has never liked anyone, why did he get into this habit of drinking flower wine? ”
"How do you know that there has never been anyone in his heart?"
"If there were, we should have gotten married a long time ago, so why go to that kind of place."
"Every year on the Begging Festival, the second brother will lock himself in his room and copy the scriptures all night, he said that this is to spend the soul of his beloved girl..."
"But why did he go to drink flower wine?"
"It was just a means for him to hide his heart, knowing that every time he went out to look for the girl's traces, he would be disappointed, but he was still reluctant to give up."
"What an infatuation... I don't know which girl is so blessed..."
At that moment, there was a loud noise on the roof, and I thought it must have been ink dyeing back.
"Then" Ink Dye threw a large cloth bag down from the hole, and with a beautiful spin, he floated down from the hole himself.
"What is this, why are there so many?"
"Aren't you hungry, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I went to the restaurant in the city and went around, and it ended up like this."
The cloth bag was opened, and the aroma of the food wafted out, only to see six square boxes lying neatly inside, five boxes were all kinds of dishes, and one box was full of rice.
"And said you don't know me, these are my favorite foods."
"Yes, the second brother must have listened to Yingying, otherwise how would he know this."
"Haha, exactly, I just heard the third sister say this, who told me to be so smart, I remembered it at once."
Mo Ran looked at Xue Duyuan and smiled awkwardly, and the look of false alarm in his eyes seemed to show that this matter was not so simple.
The next morning, before dawn, I heard the sound of chains at the door, mixed with a yin and yang strange voice.
"Niangniang, why do you want to go there yourself? The little ones just do it for you. ”
"Don't have to" simply refused, and the dignified tone was unquestionable.
The door was finally opened, and a cold wind swept through the crack in the door, and the sleepiness dissipated cleanly.
Through the faint moonlight, you can vaguely see a masked sunspot woman, her figure is very thin, but her eyes are very sharp.
"Get up for me...", it was the weird voice again.
The three of them stretched, pretending to have just woken up.
"What, are you going to let us out?" Ink Dye asked.
"It's okay to go out if you want, unless you tell me what do you have to do with the prince?" The woman asked.
"Prince, what prince? This lady... Oh no, this beauty, we are just passing merchants, and we don't know any princes. ”
"Don't know the prince? Why is there a token of the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom? ”
"I don't know what you're talking about, anyway, it's in your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it."
"Second brother, don't be unreasonable. What does this girl mean by token? ”
"It's the white jade whistle on that girl." One of the guards beside the masked woman pointed at Gui Longqin.
"Why, you said this, we bought it from someone else at a high price, why? Interested in this? ”
Gui Longqin, who looked calm and calm on the surface, cursed Xiaobao in his heart and gave her the stolen things.
"Who bought it from?"
"Haha, I bought it from a girl on the flower floor, she said that it was a noble son who gave her money, in order to get this whistle, poor me, I didn't lose the silver and gave up my body."
The ink dyeing addiction seems to be coming up again, and the expression is very much like that of a man who has been hurt by love.
"I am also a jewelry merchant in the Western Chu Kingdom, are you willing to sell me the whistle."
"If you don't sell it, don't sell it, even if you give up the money, what will happen to my ruined body?" The ink dye continued to sprinkle with splashes.
"Don't toast, don't eat, don't drink." The guard rested his sword on the ink-stained neck.
