Chapter 100: Becoming a Captive
"You...... Are you Chu Lixue? Xiangzhi said softly. She didn't dare to say it too loudly, but everything in front of her made her have to believe that it was Chu Lixue in front of her, but wasn't she dead? How can there be such a coincidence?
Hearing this, Chu Lixue hooked her lips and smiled, "Chu Lixue? Do you think? ”
"Then if you are not Chu Lixue, how can you be almost exactly the same as her, Chu Lixue's portrait, I have seen it in the prince's study, and it is hung on the wall on the right side of the study." Xiangzhi blurted out her debut.
"Xiangzhi, in fact, I haven't been your master for a long time, right, you have never regarded me as your master, your master should be Jiang Nan, no, it should be King An." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Xiangzhi didn't expect that Chu Lixue had already discovered that she had a connection with King An, but she had always hidden it very well, and every time she passed the news to King An's people, she didn't deliberately get close to people, how did she find out? If she didn't know, she wouldn't have looked dead even if she didn't know it.
"Princess, how do you know?"
"Xiangzhi, you are originally a person from the Dingguo Mansion, I think I treat you well, but you are not satisfied with the status quo, you are bent on climbing the high branches, and you should not have the mind of calculating the Chenwang Mansion. As for how I know, it will start from the outside design after catching the group of people in black, those people in black are all locked up in the firewood room, you are on duty that night, the concubine has already slept, but you call me softly at the door, and I have always slept very lightly, and I will wake up at the slightest movement, you know that the concubine does not like to be disturbed when she rests, and you still want to disturb me, how can I not be suspicious? ”
"I ...... I...... I was going to sneak into the kitchen for supper, thinking that I could go to the kitchen as soon as I was sure that the princess had fallen asleep. Xiangzhi said in a panic.
It turned out that her behavior that night had already made the princess suspicious, but after that, she was very careful, Ning Xiang went to watch the night, and she was the only one left in the room, by the way, why did she forget, there were two women with strong martial arts by the princess's side, either Wanyue or Canxue, they must be watching her.
"Going to the kitchen to steal food? Are you kidding this concubine? A few days ago, the prince was busy outside and was not at home, and the concubine's meal was simple, and it happened that the flood had just passed, and the house had been saving expenses, so how could there be supper in the kitchen? Do you want Concubine Ben to continue? Chu Lixue said in a gloomy voice.
Xiangzhi knew very well in her heart that this county lord was really different from her previous county lord, the previous county lord was as gentle as water, and this? is ruthless, if you offend her, you will definitely get it back a thousand times.
"Princess, the slave knows that it is wrong, so you can spare the slave and maid. The slave didn't dare anymore. Xiangzhi hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Now that she has offended the princess, the Dingguo Mansion will definitely not be able to go back, if she can ask for Chu Lixue's forgiveness, maybe she still has a place to live, if she is driven out now, King An will no longer care about her life or death, and when the time comes, she will become an outcast, an outcast.
"Xiangzhi, you won't stay in King Chen's Mansion anymore, this concubine is having a fight with your master and servant, you can leave." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Chu Lixue knew very well in her heart that Xiangzhi was just a small character, and killing the man in black with a poisoned arrow was definitely not something that a small character like Xiangzhi could do, and only when Xiangzhi was gone could that person appear.
Xiangzhi went back to the room to pack up her baggage, and quietly left through the back door, and everything returned to calm again.
At this time, Li Ping and Liuyue also followed the fluorescent powder and quietly followed to the foot of Mingyang Mountain, which belonged to the fiefdom of King An, and it seemed that this matter was indeed inseparable from King An.
Just as the two were discussing, they didn't find that someone behind them was already quietly approaching them, and with only two knives from the other party, Li Ping and Liuyue passed out, and woke up again and were already lying in a cave with five flowers.
"It's really worthy of it, the people of King Chen's Mansion, if it weren't for these sneak attacks, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to take you down." The familiar voice remembered in the cave.
"Jiang Nan, you dare to escape from prison, we arrested you on the order of the prince."
"Hehe, can't you catch me? Don't look at it, who is the prisoner now, Liuyue, and you, I will keep you locked up here, starve to death, and when the time comes, King Chen will definitely think that the two of you are dead, you say, is this called God not knowing? After finishing speaking, Jiang Nan looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hmph, Jiang Nan, the sea fishing documents have been distributed all over the place, you can't escape, no matter where you go, you will be found, you can only hide in this cave forever, and you will never see the light, think about it like this, my Pingye, I am really happy, and it is not in vain to live this life."
"Hmph, what is a sea fishing paper? When Lao Tzu became the prince, the first person to kill was King Chen, and the princess Chen, Lao Tzu wanted her to have no way to survive and no way to die. "He Jiang Nan really hated the county lord of Qinghe, there was a Chu Lixue before, he always couldn't get along with him, and he was looking for trouble everywhere, after Chu Lixue died, I thought that it would be smooth sailing in the future, but I didn't expect to kill a Qinghe county lord halfway, and he couldn't get along with him in various ways, is he so unpopular?
"Hahahaha, just because you also want to be the prince, do you say that you recognize the emperor as your father? It's really unfilial, the emperor seems to be about the same age as you. ”
"Alas, Li Ping, you think, the current emperor has no son, if he really recognizes a son back, maybe this throne can be passed on, if there is no son, then who will wear filial piety in the future, but what you said is right, the two are about the same age, then it depends on who boils who to death first." After speaking, Liuyue also laughed loudly.
The two sang and harmonized, and Jiang Nan, who was really angry, couldn't say a word, why did he recognize the emperor as his father, ahhh His father is naturally King An, King An is old, and he only has one son under his knees, so the throne can naturally only be passed to him.
But he can only be happy and happy in his heart, and he can't say it and share it with others, which is also a very painful thing.
"Hmph, come on, watch the two of them carefully, don't let the two of them run away." Jiang Nan ordered the guards.
"Childe, don't worry. It's heavily guarded, and it's not so easy to escape. The guard bowed.
"Hmm." Jiang Nan snorted, then turned to leave. Leaving the dungeon, Jiang Nan walked down the spiraling staircase to the top floor layer by layer, pushed open the heavy stone door, and saw a man with a mask sitting on a dragon chair.
"Nan'er, did you go to the dungeon?" The man's voice was reproachful.
"Yes, Father...... Lord. Jiang Nan said respectfully. The one who sat on the throne was obviously his father, but he wanted to call him the lord by himself, and he said that in order not to let people find out his identity, didn't he want to make excuses for his irresponsibility?
"I've told you many times, don't meddle in the affairs of the dungeon, otherwise you will ruin my big affairs, even if you are my biological son, I will still kill you."
"Yes, I know that's wrong." Jiang Nan said respectfully. He immediately retreated.
Back in the cave where he lived, he was very unwilling, why? Why? He should have been the envy of thousands of people, but now he has fallen to such a point, if he is really the son of Jiang Guogong, even if he is just a concubine, he can still appear in front of everyone openly and honestly, and he can do what he wants.
But now? He could only hide in this dark cave, living a life of stealth, and relying on people's snorts, and this man still shouted at himself like a dog.
In the dungeon, Liuyue and Li Ping carefully observed everything around them, "Liuyue, it seems that this dungeon is specially set up, there is no light around, and it is impossible to see the situation ten steps away at all, and the surrounding stones are covered with moss, and it is impossible to grind the rope." ”
"Yes, I was careless and was knocked unconscious and brought here, and I don't know what happened to the prince and princess." Liuyue said in frustration.
"Yes, the princess and princess should be in a hurry without our news, and there are still spies in the palace, if the spies can't be found, then the prince and the princess will be in danger."
"Isn't it? But we can't get out now, and if we can escape, I must be more careful in the future. ”
"Uh-huh, me too."
The two were chatting first, and a hoarse male voice was remembered in the dark dungeon, "Hehehe, are you still thinking about what will happen after you go out?" Let's talk about what you can go out, it's not like you can come in if you want to, and you can go out if you want. ”
"Who are you?" Liuyue and Li Pingse said vigilantly.
"Me? I am the emperor here, I am the king of the underground. There was a smug smug in the man's voice.
"The Underground King? Isn't that the Lord of Yama? Why, if you don't let a good person do it, you have to be an underground king who hides underground and doesn't dare to show his true face, isn't it like a rat living in a ditch? Li Ping scoffed.
It's just that the light inside is too dark to see Li Ping's expression on this matter, and the two sides can only imagine what their expressions should be based on the tone of their voices.
"Hmph, how can you two boys know my ambition, I am a person who wants to do great things, if you can't bear this grievance, how will you rule the world in the future?"
"You? Still want to rule the world? It's just a fool's dream, otherwise, you take off the mask, anyway, the light is too dark, we can't see who you are, why don't you let me guess? If you can guess it, can you let the two of us go? ”
"Hmph, he's really a young man, he's brave enough." After speaking, the man in the darkness slowly took off the mask on his face......
