001. Reborn in prison
She awoke from the darkness, surrounded by pitch black, a biting cold hitting every corner, and the air smelled of rust and blood.
She tried to move her limbs, but felt the weight of her hands and feet. She swayed vigorously and heard the screeching of chains in her ears.
"I'm in prison?"
The thoughts in her head made her begin to wonder where she was. The increasingly cold air made her stomach sick, and with it the discomfort that kept pouring out of her heart. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't make a sound, not even tears.
At this moment, along with fear, memories crawled up her head like a cannibalizing python, and like the waves on the shore that kept lapping on the boulders, drowning her.
Three figures alternated in her head.
There was a woman dressed in white, and next to her stood a man, dressed in a jade crown. The man called her - "Qing'er".
She tried to see when another figure flickered. She was dressed in red, sitting in a carriage, and from the curtain she gently raised, she saw the long street of the eastern capital of Mu Jinguo.
In an instant, she saw a woman dressed in black walk into the room where the Thousand Machines Pavilion was hanging. Then someone called her - Brother Dong.
Then the picture returns to the woman in red, who dances among the flowers, accompanied by others, and countless palace maids, all of whom call her Mrs. Luo.
Faced with the sudden memory, she couldn't figure out who she should be at the moment, which identity she should be, or if all three of them were her. Until a voice gave the answer she wanted.
"Luo Ge." Suddenly, someone interrupted her train of thought.
She is the concubine of Mu Jinguo at this moment-Luo Ge.
She opened her closed eyes and frowned. In the candlelight revealed not far away, she saw a face of the woman in white who had been absent for three years in her memoryโMu Ziqin.
He is also very different from what he remembers.
Now Mu Ziqin is no longer the same as when she was thirteen years old, he is dressed in a black dark dragon pattern dress with gold rim, a dragon pattern belt of the same color around his waist, a carved dragon crown on his head, and a dragon pattern ink jade that she gave him when she parted is tied around his waist.
The special dragon pattern on the neckline of the sleeves was secretly embroidered, and the dragon pattern jade wrench on his right hand was telling her one thing - Mu Ziqin had ascended to the great treasure at this moment, and had become the person he had disdained the most - the emperor of Mu Jin Kingdom.
No one spoke at the moment, and there was silence all around.
The fear caused by the silence struck again with the murderous aura in his eyes. She instinctively took a step back, only to find that her right hand was torn apart from this movement.
It was precisely this tugging that made her guess where she wasโFang Prisoner.
Of all things in the world, the most terrible thing is to move the whole body. And Fang Prisoner's design is such a design. As the tightest cell in the Five Wilderness, Fang Prisoner is different from the others. It is not simply a prison cell for prisoners. The "prisoners" who can enter the prison must be extremely vicious. Because, no one has ever been able to get out alive from here. Even the previous number one thief in the rivers and lakes bent his waist here.
Fang prisoner, located in the capital of Mu Jin - the eastern capital. The Fang prisoner was built in the northwest corner of the imperial city. Its entrance is hidden in the garden of the cold palace, and its shape is no different from that of a normal rockery, and can only be opened by touching a machine stone in front of it. And this machine stone has no special shape, and it is as ordinary as a common one. Only those who come and go every day can remember.
Among the prisoners, there were not many prisoners, and there were only seven or eight of them. Five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, and there will be patrols every quarter of an hour. The guards here were recruited from the rivers and lakes. Some of them were famous heroes or thieves in the rivers and lakes before they entered the prison, or killers with too many enemies. Their martial arts can easily rob any sect in the rivers and lakes.
The shape of the square prisoner is built according to the hexagon, with three layers inside and outside. Only one prisoner could be held in the entire cell, and the prisoner was chained in the middle of the cell. The chains are made of icy black iron, and the distance is very well controlled, and the prisoners' hands and feet pull each other, as long as they move slightly, the iron chains of the hands and feet will be locked, and this pull will affect the whole body.
Not only that, but every two hours the people trapped in this cell will be immersed in water, and small piranha fry will be placed in the water, and they will gnaw on the scars on the body, making people suffer from breathing difficulties and wound erosion.
If you want to save someone from the prisoner, you must also cut off the iron shackles of your limbs, but there is currently no weapon in the world that can cut the ice and black iron with a single sword.
There is only one person who makes this mechanism - the first maker of the organ on the rivers and lakes, Bai Xiaosheng of the rivers and lakes - the eldest apprentice of Mrs. Yiyu.
Who this big apprentice is, there are only rumors in the rivers and lakes.
"Luo Ge."
Mu Ziqin's cold voice called her name again, interrupting her high-speed thoughts. It could be heard that this voice was a little more hateful than before, and he shouted it through gritted teeth.
In the face of such hatred, she tried to open her lips with all her might, wanting to call out "senior brother", but after seeing his blade-like eyes, she swallowed the word "brother" back, leaving only the word "teacher" echoing in the cold cell.
"Yes? What is it? โ
He took the whip handed by the jailer beside him, then smiled coldly, took two steps back, and began to wave the whip in his hand without saying a word, beckoning to her already bloody body.
Each lash on her caused her to scream, each tearing her throat apart, making it impossible for her to hear her voice clearly. And with each scream, his movements intensified a point, until she screamed weakly, and fainted completely.
"Wake me up." There was hatred in Mu Ziqin's voice.
The jailer obeyed the order and quickly poured the prepared salt water on her body. With the pain of the wound gnawing on the salt, she reawakened.
At this time, Mu Ziqin put down the whip in his hand, walked in front of her step by step, and carefully looked at the drenched woman in front of him, this woman who had been in her harem for three years.
Three years ago, Luo Ge entered the eastern capital of Mujin Kingdom in the name of King Luo's daughter. Unexpectedly, there were thousands of people in the team to send off relatives, and the dowry alone was equipped with twenty carriages to pull it, and there were 300 palace attendants accompanying them, 100 housekeepers and mothers-in-law, and 50 cooks.
In addition, there were thousands of soldiers accompanying the procession. And these escorted soldiers were led by the hussar general of Su Qianguo.
Only one person can surpass this battle, and that is the princess of the two countries, the current queen of Mu Jin Kingdom.
At that time, when the family sent the team into the eastern capital, thousands of people were empty. The people all watched on the streets, just to see the true face of the second princess. It's a pity that Luo Ge entered the imperial city by carriage, so no one has seen her appearance, which also makes the market full of legends about her.
In the face of such a relationship, Mu Ziqin was full of questions, and on the day of the cave, he sent someone to inquire about Su Qianguo's purpose, and what was the identity of this woman who could send thousands of relatives.
It wasn't until he came out of Xiao Han Palace for the first time that he discovered the reason.
"Should Lone call you Dongge or Luoge?" Facing the person in front of him who opened his eyes again, he sneered.
Luo Ge just smiled when he heard his words, and said in a dumb voice: "What is the difference between these two names for the king?" Or does the king prefer Dongge? โ
He only said: "It's really sharp-toothed." The courage is also big enough, no wonder he can become the number one killer of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. โ
"Don't dare to be it, this number one killer must not be me Luo Ge, and I definitely don't think I have the ability to be the number one killer."
"Oh? Do you doubt the news of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng Yiyu's wife? โ
"I don't dare, it's just that this year's list of rivers and lakes is going to be changed this winter."
Looking at the confident smile of the person in front of him in the dim light, Mu Ziqin was particularly uncomfortable. He lifted his hand and pulled down the chain in her left hand.
As a result, she gasped as a result of her injuries.
"It seems that the patience of the number one killer is no more than that."
Forcibly enduring his torture, Luo Ge just lowered his head and sorted out his expression before raising his head again, smiling at his coldness and the hatred hidden behind him.
"The arrangement and design of this cell, and how much pain it can inflict on people, I think the king knows best. Lady Yi Yu's eldest apprentice. โ
Luo Ge's last few words were said extremely hard, but in exchange for Mu Ziqin's pulling even harder.
"Yes, this cell is designed alone. I didn't expect the first woman to be closed was you. โ
"I didn't expect that either."
"Since everyone knows it, let's spread it out. The East and West Battalion Deployment Map, did you bring it to the Thousand Machine Pavilion? โ
Facing his question, Luo Ge was slightly stunned, quickly recalled the memory in his mind, and then smiled and said, "No." โ
Looking at her smile, Mu Ziqin continued to pull the chain a little bit.
"Then why did Gu catch the spies of the Thousand Machines Pavilion outside the gate of the Imperial City?"
"I don't know."
"Before he died, the spy admitted that you were a member of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and the information he found was the map of the camp you brought to the Thousand Machines Pavilion."
"Huh." She smiled, "If a dead man is spoken, the king can arrange it casually." Now there is no proof of death, I can say whatever I want. Isn't it? โ
"Why did Lone orchestrate you?"
"Because the deployment map of the East and West Battalions was lost, and I was the most suspicious."
Hearing this, Mu Ziqin raised his eyebrows, he didn't ask, and Luo Ge also pieced together the fragmentary memories in his mind.
"In the entire palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, only my identity is the most suspicious. I am the righteous daughter of King Luo of Su Qianguo, and you must have been full of suspicions since I entered the palace. Besides, the people in the whole palace are not bad to me. What's more, there is a legend on the rivers and lakes that I am the first charmer in the rivers and lakes. As the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, how could the king not be suspicious of me? โ
Listening to her analysis, Mu Ziqin couldn't help but applaud but didn't have half admiration.
