Chapter 53: Bai Jian's Past
As an unrestrained person, Bai Jian's footsteps can't be stopped anywhere.
Born unrestrained, he would run to the palace as a guard, if it weren't for the intrigue to investigate the conspiracy of the Eastern Fence Kingdom, he would not be rare to stay in this palace.
That's what life in the palace is. He is no longer surprised by the ugliness of deceit. It doesn't matter here or in that hometown, it's the same.
Bai Jian is a smart person, and it won't take long for him to figure out the relationship between the characters in the palace.
I thought I could find an excuse to leave, but at this time, Boer came over and mixed it up, which made him have to let go of the idea of returning to his hometown, wanting to see what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd of Sanar.
The strongest thing in the Boer country is the breeding of horses, especially the war horses, all of which are tall and strong, and the surrounding countries have horses with them, and their cavalry is also well-equipped and has unique conditions.
Sannar's choice to form an alliance with them is clear.
The king of a country can only govern the country so strongly if he works hard.
However, looking at the appearance of this prince, it is estimated that he will not be able to become a wise and martial figure. Inexplicably, he took control of the whole situation, and he couldn't find the shadow of the old king everywhere, and he began to feel that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
However, it seems that this thing is starting to deviate from the direction and start to develop in a direction that is beyond its control.
A princess appeared in his still-as-still sight. Originally, he was just acting on orders, but his eyes were unconsciously focused on her. When he was on duty at night, he could often hear the princess crying in her dreams.
He lay on the roof, he could clearly hear her sobbing, her choking, and he could understand a little about the feeling of losing his parents, after all, his childhood was also spent without his parents.
He has nothing to do these days, and he plans to go to find out the news.
When they were talking in the study, Bai Jian had already lurked in the room in advance, and the process of the conversation between the two also made him hear it clearly.
The purpose of Boer's visit this time was because he heard that Princess Duo'er was beautiful and fragrant, so he came to propose marriage.
Bai Jian thought, this must be the news released by Sanar, to see which country is willing to take the bait, which country is stronger, he will choose which country to marry.
actually used his sister as a bargaining chip to consolidate his position. Bai Jian felt a burst of disgust in her heart.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the princess to be called to the front hall to accompany the prince to dinner. He didn't know what was going on in the middle, but he didn't have to guess when he saw the angry look on the princess's face when she came back.
In the evening, when he came back from a stroll around the palace, he happened to see the normally silent princess smashing things all over the room.
"What the hell is this..."
"Big brother, I advise you not to get close." The other brothers watched from afar, and no one dared to move forward.
"I heard that the prince wants the princess to dance for the prince, which will anger the princess."
"That's right, it's insulting for a princess of a country to dance for someone else. The princess was arrogant, and she didn't know what the prince thought. ”
"Okay, nothing. Go and rest, I'm here for the night today. Bai Jian waved his hand.
"Thank you, Brother Bai, call us if you have anything." After thanking a few people, they hurried out of this place of right and wrong.
Bai Jian looked inside the house, and sure enough, the princess was so angry that her eyes were red and she almost smashed everything in the house.
In the evening, as soon as he jumped onto the eaves and was about to rest, he noticed a man sneaking out of the house.
"What is this woman going to do?" Bai Jian followed from a distance, and she ran all the way to the gate of the palace and hid in the rockery next to her.
"It turned out that I wanted to escape, which was so stupid."
Looking at the officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth next to him, he couldn't even fly out, let alone him. And now that there are envoys in the palace, the security measures are even stricter, and she really won't look for the opportunity.
Seeing her anxious turnaround, Bai Jian suddenly felt very funny. But now is not the time to laugh, if the guards do find out, then she will not have a good time in the future.
I had no choice but to take her back to the dormitory.
"You... How to be here. Windona was a little embarrassed,
"Of course, the subordinates are here to protect the princess." Bai Jian thought it was funny, "Then why did the princess appear on the rockery?" ”
"Just.... Walk.... Ah..."Seeing the embarrassed look on her face flushed, Bai Jian didn't want to continue asking.
"It's best not to do anything ridiculous these days, you're surrounded by eyes."
"Got it." Windona ran into the house and slammed the door shut.
After Bai Jian saw that she had quieted down, she immediately ran back to the way back. Because he found that there was a house where there were many soldiers guarding, something must have happened there.
He arranged for someone else to be on duty for him, and he quietly slipped to the neighborhood.
In the dark palace at night, you can vaguely see a candlelight flickering slightly, and if you look closely, it is a man in a black robe carrying a lantern and hurriedly walking outside.
Bai Jian followed the light all the way to a remote room at the back of the dormitory.
From the outside, it was just a very ordinary room, and he looked outside for a while, but he didn't hear anything from inside the room.
He gently pushed open the door, and there were only a few simple pieces of furniture inside, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, but he was a man in black who mysteriously disappeared.
I saw him enter this room with my own eyes, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye. Isn't this room a mechanism?
He searched the place discreetly, and soon, he noticed something unusual.
"Heh, this mechanism is quite special."
He sat down at the table and looked at the teapot on the table with interest.
In an empty room, there would still be such a delicate teapot, and the corners of Bai Jane's mouth showed a sly smile.
He turned the teapot in a slight direction, and in an instant, the floor under the table opened automatically, revealing a narrow passageway.
He lay down at the entrance of the passage and listened quietly to the sound inside, from which came the sound of the wind, the voice of the man talking and.... Resembles a beastly howl.....
After so many years of traveling from south to north, he has seen a lot of people and things, but the strange sound he heard here made him frown.
After rechecking that his surroundings were safe, he decided to go down and take a look.
The narrow, damp passage could only accommodate one person to pass through, and he groped around the walls and cautiously made his way to the light in front of him, and the further he went, he could feel an unusual smell. Like a decaying animal, the stench in front of it grew more pungent, and the unknown roar grew louder and louder.
He was always calm, and he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. Finally, his hands touched a large, rusty iron door, which was locked inside, and he tried several times, but it still wouldn't open.
He had no choice but to look through the small window in the iron door, which was supposed to be a prison-like place on the other side, with all sorts of foul smells.
He could see several chain-like objects thrown on the ground, and judging by the shadows reflected on the wall, it was supposed that someone was torturing the prisoner, and the sound of whips whipping his body was clearly heard inside, and the sound of dying gasps.
"General, another failure." A man's voice came from inside.
"It's okay, we still have a lot of people to use, hurry up and throw it into the mountains, don't let people find out."
"Yes."
The people inside began to move outside, and Bai Jian hurriedly returned the same way and escaped from the tunnel.
It's just that what makes him strange is that no one came out of the gate, and he stared at the roof for a long time before he realized that there must be other secret passages in that basement.
This experience made him very interested here. What the hell is so mysterious that he must go in and take a good look if he has the chance.
