Chapter 65: A Prison in the Same Place
The prison cells of the Sentencing Division were still damp and quiet as usual.
Bai Ling had changed into his prison uniform and was curled up against the straw stack.
Her cell was at the end
She hadn't noticed anything when she had just been caught here last night, but this morning, she had accidentally picked up a small box of lipstick in the cracks of the stones under the straw.
Only then did Bai Ling really look at this cell, and then an inexplicable sense of fate arose.
The cell she lives in now is the one where Lin Jieyu lived at the beginning.
It's just that the carpets, tents, tables and chairs of the past have all been removed, so it looks no different from other ordinary prison cells.
At the beginning, Lin Jieyu personally killed Jia Yuchun here, and also pushed down the first domino leading to death here.
Bai Ling thought about all these years, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic - when did he start to push down his first card?
She stared at the low ceiling and was speechless for a moment.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, Bai Ling looked sideways slightly, and saw that there was an extra pair of feet outside the iron grate, and she looked all the way up - Heng Yuanjun was standing there with a chessboard and a chess basket in his arms.
It wasn't until this moment that Bai Ling really felt that everything in front of him seemed to be reincarnating. Lin Jieyu, who was wiping rouge in prison at that time, did not realize the danger of coming, but Bai Ling had already been alarmed.
Bai Ling sat up, "...... It's you. β
"It's me."
"What is Hengyuan-kun doing here?"
"Let's play chess with the medicine." Heng Yuanjun said softly.
Bai Ling frowned slightly, "...... How did you get in. β
"If you can come in, naturally there is a way for me," Heng Yuanjun smiled, "Didn't Si Yao also come here once?" β
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, she looked at the chessboard in Heng Yuanjun's hand and laughed lowly.
ββ¦β¦ All right. β
Heng Yuanjun held the key in one hand, opened the iron lock on Bai Ling's cell, and then leisurely pushed the door in, not afraid of the wet and dirty ground in the prison, and sat on the ground opposite Bai Ling.
Bai Ling casually pulled a small bench to the side and put it under the chessboard.
"So today," Heng Yuanjun said softly, "let a few words?" β
"Don't let the child." Bai Ling replied, "Let's guess first." β
As she spoke, she grabbed a handful from Kuroko's chess basket with a simple movement, "Single or even?" β
Heng Yuanjun looked at Bai Ling, and felt that Bai Ling's eyes today were a little more different from before.
"Double."
Bai Ling let go of his hand, and the five sunspots fell on the chessboard.
"I'm black." Bai Ling said softly.
Neither of them said anything more, and their eyes fell on the chessboard.
Bai Ling started Tian Yuan - landed the sunspot in the very center of the chessboard.
Heng Yuanjun stared at the solitary son in the center of the chessboard, and did not follow up for a long time.
He had told Bai Ling a long time ago that Tian Yuan's position was greater in form than in substance - if you wanted to enclose the hinterland, it would be a waste to settle in Tian Yuan's place beforehand; And if you want to take advantage of the external situation, there is no need to settle in this place first.
He picked up the white son and landed lightly on the left star near him.
Bai Ling then landed on the high eyes of the star position on the right, and after Hengyuan-jun occupied the star position on her side, she landed the fifth move in the corner of Hengyuan-kun's second move.
β¦β¦ This is not a regular starting layout.
"I didn't expect you to make it this far." Heng Yuanjun suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Bai Ling's twist fell, "...... I thought everything was in Hengyuan-kun's calculations. β
Heng Yuanjun smiled, "Not really. β
Bai Ling sighed with some surprise, "For example? β
"I thought you wouldn't be able to provoke, and I thought you would get revenge to the end...... But I didn't expect you to choose the last two paths," Heng Yuanjun smiled deeply, "Or maybe you chose both paths, but neither of them was thorough." β
"Not so." Bai Ling followed Luozi closely and said in a low voice, "Kill him and let you take the throne?" β
Heng Yuanjun raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ling, and said lightly, "...... There is no way I will be on the throne. β
"Then wait for the next new monarch to control it while his foundation is not stable?"
Bai Ling's voice was calm, she looked at Heng Yuanjun, and her smile was a little cloudy.
ββ¦β¦ The ambition is too great, and sometimes it's easy to burn yourself, Hengyuan-kun. β
Heng Yuanjun was silent for a moment, "...... It seems that Kashimia decided that I was behind the scenes. β
Bai Ling laughed.
"In the final analysis, my power of life and death is in Chen Yicong's hands," she said softly, "If he refuses to do it, then no one can touch me, what ......can you do?"
There was silence in the dungeon for a moment, and only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard could be heard.
Heng Yuanjun faintly felt the change in Bai Ling's chess path, after starting Tianyuan, her fall became mediocre, and there was no big jump, but it made Heng Yuanjun feel a little threatened.
He started to find things interesting.
"The progress of the pharmaceutical industry is ...... very fast"
"It's still thanks to Heng Yuanjun's chess score," Bai Ling quickly replied, "During this time, I have been playing chess games in the Qingle Collection almost every day, which is very ...... Interesting. β
"It's not easy to be able to meditate in a place of captivity." Heng Yuanjun said in a low voice.
"I've only been holding out for a month," Bai Ling replied, "unlike Heng Yuanjun, who has been around for decades, it's obviously even more rare." β
"Didn't Si Yao think about his future?"
ββ¦β¦ Future? Bai Ling stared at the chess game, as if thinking about the next move.
She holds the pieces with her thumb and middle fingers, and her index finger rubs lightly against the edge of the black piece.
"What will I have in the future...... Can you still expect to stab the emperor, but he didn't care, repented, and finally set me free? β
She reached out again.
ββ¦β¦ Let's not pretend to be naΓ―ve, Hengyuan-kun," she said, raising her eyes, "What are you doing when you came to me today?" β
"I can get you out." Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Today's Qinyuan already has a position that can accommodate the medicine. β
"No need." Bai Ling directly interrupted, "Heng Yuanjun also thinks too highly of me, I just want to follow my father and my brother to make a living in peace." β
"That's why you planned to escape?"
"What escape," Bai Ling snorted lightly, "Chen Yicong also said categorically before that I was going to escape......
"Our family, if we want money or not, if we want a background without a background, where can we escape? Besides, there is nothing in Kyori, why should I go? β
Heng Yuanjun smiled.
ββ¦β¦ I see. There was a slight regret in his eyes, "Si Yao's answer was 'not coming'. β
"Well, let's let me die a happy death." Bai Ling whispered.
Heng Yuanjun pondered for a moment, and after the long exam, he fell again.
"What about your brother and father? Si Yao also wants to ...... Let them die a happy death. β
