Chapter 257: No Morality
Crossing the inland sea by boat, everyone disguised themselves and infiltrated the capital of Dongning, and gathered in the underground secret room of this house in the capital one after another.
Then, after some planning and arrangement, led by Nanfeng Guying, Yan Hong, Ban Lingruo, Gu Junxi and Guo Zidi visited the Taishi's Mansion at night to search for the entrance of the underground dungeon and find the traces of Sima Hongyan. Xiao Hongying led Xiao Ling's disciples to answer outside the palace walls, and Shi Jinyan, the female soldier captain, and Wu Zhao and others temporarily stayed in the secret room.
Originally, everyone thought that it would take some time to find Sima Hongyan's traces, but what they didn't expect was that Sima Hongyan escaped by himself with the help of Nan Xunyan, and happened to run into Ban Lingruo. This led to these things that caused the burning of the Taishi's Mansion.
Everyone explained their experiences, and then they realized that they had a hard time on both sides in so many days of separation. Nan Xunyan listened carefully from beginning to end, feeling that Sima Hongyan's friends were really righteous enough, especially for Sima Hongyan's true feelings for this tribulation.
When telling each other about the things after the separation, Nan Xunyan found that no one avoided him, and even some topics involving the secrets of the imperial court were not tactful at all, Nan Xunyan felt the trust between each other from this person's eyes, including trust in himself, this openness was really something Nan Xunyan had never felt.
And when Sima Hongyan was with these people, his eyes lit up and his expression was happy. Although he is not out of danger yet, he inadvertently shows great confidence and calmness when he is with his friends.
After talking about the past, the next thing is to discuss how to leave Dongning, Taishifu was so troubled, it is estimated that Sima Hongyan and Nan Xunyan's escape must have also been discovered, Dongning must have set up cards at various passes, and I believe that at this moment, the outside has begun to search door to door. So you must leave here as soon as possible, as long as you get out of the capital and rush to Yanning Pass, the rest will be easy to handle.
Nanfeng Guying said: "At this time, the search outside is tight, and it is definitely not appropriate to go out, and if there is any movement outside, friends above will come to report." I'm afraid we'll have to hide here for a while, and when the officers and men of Dongning can't find anyone, they will turn their attention to the outside of the city, and then we will take the opportunity to sneak out of the city. ”
"No!" Yan Hong stood up at this time and walked up to everyone and said, "Hiding here will be discovered sooner or later, if you are blocked in this secret room, I am afraid that no one will be able to escape." I think we will put on makeup and go out of the city until dawn, this matter is not a glorious thing after all, Dongning secretly kidnapped my Yanling's people, and hid in the dungeon of Taishifu, if this matter is troubled, I am afraid that Dongning will not be able to explain to the world. ”
Nanfeng Guying hurriedly said: "The Ninth Prince must not be reckless!" Since they dare to do this, they have naturally thought of countermeasures a long time ago, and as long as Dongning refuses to admit it, but instead frames us for breaking into Dongning Taishi's Mansion with the wrong intention of setting fire, I am afraid that we will suffer at that time! ”
Yan Hong snorted: "They still want to confuse right and wrong? If you really want to attack them Dongning, why should I come in person, the prince of Yanling is the best evidence, forgive them and don't dare to mess around! ”
Nanfeng Guying couldn't help frowning when she heard Yan Hong's words, feeling that this Nine Emperor Prince's words were too taken for granted, and he was not as clear and wise as he had seen before.
However, he didn't want to contradict him too much, so he said patiently: "What the ninth prince said has some truth. But if the other party doesn't give us a chance to reason with them, forcibly detains people, and detains us on some trumped-up charges, who will we argue with then? After all, we are all in the territory of Dongning now, they can say whatever they want, once they fall into the hands of Dongning people, I am afraid that no identity can keep us safe. ”
Yan Hong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, do they still dare to detain Prince Yanling?" Aren't they afraid that Yanling will send troops to attack? The world is fair, how can it be deceived by one-sided words? ”
Seeing that Yan Hong said seriously, Nanfeng Lonely Shadow was unexpected. However, after thinking about it in his heart, he understood the general situation, and he smiled slightly and said to Yan Hong: "The ninth prince is straightforward and upright, and he admires him very much, but these deceitful deceits between people are not judged by reason. If our opponents were really reasonable, they would not have done the dirty thing of stealing people. On the rivers and lakes, we must treat righteous people and gentlemen with courtesy and honesty. But we must be cautious and cautious in dealing with those insidious and shameless villains, step by step, and even resort to some more insidious means than them in order to deal with them. ”
After hearing this, Yan Hong's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Then according to the meaning of the leader of the South Wind Alliance, those of us who have never done anything bad have to hide in this tunnel aggrievedly to avoid the search and arrest of those shameless rats above?" ”
Nanfeng Lonely Shadow replied calmly: "The ninth prince is a little restless, maybe the ninth prince has lived in the palace for a long time, and he doesn't know the cruelty of this world, in order to cover the sky with one hand, many people are doing everything." In front of the world, there are never rules and morals in the competition, and only the final winner has the power to give orders. ”
Yan Hong's face was originally filled with righteous indignation, but at this time, he gloomed, nodded and said: "You are right, Yan Ling is still able to meet his brothers and sisters for the sake of a prince, let alone for the sake of this world?" I've just never felt so aggrieved as I am today! I'd rather go out and fight with them than hide in the dark tunnels and endure humiliation and steal life! ”
At this time, Sima Hongyan said: "Yan Hong! In Yanling, you are the supreme Nine Emperors, you are in a high position, you hold the power of the army, and anyone who sees you must be in awe of three points, this is a fact, but these can only be in Yanling. Now we are in Dongning! Here we are nothing, Nanfeng Lone Shadow is not the leader of the martial arts alliance, Xiaomei is not the queen of the general, Jin Yan is not the daughter of Shangshu, I am not the queen of the famous family, the captain of the imperial court, our identity is not even as good as ordinary Dongning civilians, because we are the enemy of Dongning, and the only way to treat the enemy is you to the death, and no one can change this! ”
Sima Hongyan's words made Yan Hong and Shi Jinyan feel a sense of indifference, the indifference of reality, it has no complicated reason at all, and it is only judged by life and death.
The conversation between several people invisibly made the atmosphere in the whole room extremely gloomy, and Nan Xunyan, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "You people are really strange, the survival law of the jungle seems to be known on the first day in your hearts, it seems that you are usually pampered and used to being served, and you have never suffered hardship." If one day your identity is gone, the powerful are gone, and you are thrown into the ordinary people, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive even a day, right? ”
When Nan Xunyan said this, he stared at these young ladies and gentlemen, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. Yan Hong snorted, turned around and walked back to the corner to continue to close his eyes and recuperate. And Shi Jinyan and Ban Lingruo were both slightly embarrassed, but they didn't speak because of Sima Hongyan's face.
For the sake of safety, everyone followed the advice of the South Wind Lonely Shadow to recuperate first and avoid the limelight above. And everyone hasn't slept well these days, so everyone took this opportunity to find a place to sleep for a while, and take care of their spirits to deal with the future.
If there are no special circumstances, the people left behind above will not take the initiative to contact the underground secret room, and there is enough food and water stored in the secret room, as well as bedding and other daily necessities, so it is not a problem to hide here for a few days.
After these days of hard work, Shi Jinyan and these people were already exhausted, and after eating some things, they found a place for a few sisters to snuggle up to each other and sleep. Although Nan Xunyan was not sleepy, he found a place to sit there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Yan Hong never left the corner before, and he didn't know whether to sleep or wake up with his eyes closed. One by one, the others went to rest, and the room immediately became quiet.
Sima Hongyan didn't feel a little sleepy, and was still sitting in the starting position looking at the candle flame in front of him in a daze. She was thinking about what everyone had just said, and today she found out that Yan Hong was quite clear about dealing with things in the Yanling Palace, but when she encountered a real battle, she still obviously had no experience.
