Chapter 5: News Leaks

It is said that the land of the Dragon Kingdom, the scenery, the folk customs, and the talented and beautiful women are all first-class places.

Business and trade everywhere, prosperous and abnormal, five steps and a pavilion, ten steps and a corridor, the concubine willow that can be seen everywhere, holding a thin waist and long hair, graceful, some are like girls who have not come out of the pavilion are half hidden, half curious, and the thick ink hair is just right to reveal a pair of distant mountain eyebrows with affection; Some of them hold their peony buns like noble women, showing their better faces generously, without the slightest hesitation, staring at themselves in the mirror lake from time to time, lest they be messed up by the wind.

Some literati stood in the pavilion, shaking their heads, unhurriedly chanting improvised verses, so as to win the praise of everyone Liao comforting the body and mind, shouting all around, shouting here, shouting there, competing with each other to see whose things sell more, it is such a lively and comfortable painting telling the ordinary joy, some people are destined to not be able to enjoy.

On the outskirts of the northern city next to the palace is the heavenly prison, heavily guarded, no one within a hundred steps is not allowed to approach without the emperor's will, this is the hell on earth in Dragon City, at this moment the empty cell, thousands of guards are just to guard one person, a person who is going to die.

"Lord Ba, I have received a few pieces of news from my humble position, I'm afraid the situation is not in your favor," Li Yan, who was the chief steward of the prison, hurriedly and quietly came to the place where Ba Xiaotian was being held, with a nervous expression on his face, and his two thick black eyebrows were about to twist into twists. But the person concerned was unknowingly locked up in this ghost place and waiting for death, Li Yan looked at Ba Xiaotian sitting inside, and unconsciously stopped, and he didn't have the courage to continue.

"Call me big brother when no one is there in the future, I have recognized you as a brother, what other adults are here?" Ba Xiaotian raised his eyes slightly: "Look at you in a hurry, what happened, is it that the emperor can't bear to kill me today?" He said to himself as if life or death had nothing to do with him, but the wry smile betrayed him, and there was too much unwillingness and helplessness in it.

"I, I mean I've found a way to save my eldest brother, my eldest brother won't die, after all, my sister-in-law wants my eldest brother to live," Li Yan had never seen the moment when he accepted his fate, how could Ba Xiaotian accept his fate.

"Yirao, yes, Yirao is still waiting for me, how can I die, I can't die, I still have to save her, and I have to find our children Xiao Xiao and Yiyi", an iron-blooded man who stood up to the sky mentioned that his wife and children were in tears, choked up and speechless.

Li Yan didn't know whether to tell the news that his wife was dead and his two daughters were missing, and he was going to die, and he was going to die under the so-called loyalty.

"Big brother, I, I just inquired about the news, the emperor sent General Cheng Ao to execute you in secret, and," Li Yan stammered while watching the change in Ba Xiaotian's expression: "And sister-in-law, she hanged herself a day ago, and your two daughters are nowhere to be found, big brother, you,"

Suddenly, these words thundered like five thunders, mercilessly dashing Ba Xiaotian's last hope: "What does it mean to hang yourself to death, what does it mean to have no trace, you say it again?" You repeat? ”

Li Yan sighed, he didn't know how to comfort Ba Xiaotian, but this was a fact, a fact he always needed to know.

"Long Qian, are you really so ruthless、、、、、、 hahahaha, Yirao, I can't help you, I can't protect you, I can't protect my own children, what's the use of me living?" He shouted hoarsely, complaining with the last of his strength, resentful, a thin and distorted face overflowing with crying and laughing, self-blame, despair, the seven-foot man trembled like a cramped dragon, curled up, and almost fainted for a while.

Li Yan's tears also couldn't stop flowing, because of the unfair fate of the eldest brother and disgust with the imperial power: "Big brother, you have to mourn, your sister-in-law must not want to drag you down to choose this path, you have to understand your sister-in-law's hard work, only if you survive well, can you avenge your sister-in-law and have a chance to find your daughter." ”

"It's Long Qian, this dog emperor, I will do my life for him, and he will do this to me in turn," Ba Xiaotian couldn't help but clench his fists, green tendons burst out, Li Yan saw that his mood was more relaxed, and he paused before saying: "It is imperative, eldest brother should find a way to escape and then make plans, otherwise if you stay in prison for one more day, your life will be more dangerous, the emperor is a secret edict, it is estimated that Cheng Ao will have to deploy in detail for a few days, the eldest brother should be safe in these days, I will let the eldest brother have no worries, this is Li Yan's oath, and he will abide by it until he dies." ”

At that time, Ba Xiaotian didn't expect Li Yan to take it seriously, but later he realized that Li Yan was exchanging the rest of his life for his own life.
