Chapter 158: The City of the Underworld
In the prison.
Yang Sheng sat in the corner in a prison suit, and he looked at the small window.
Xiao Jincheng came in and just saw him like this, and couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect you Yang Sheng to have today." Xiao Jincheng turned to the prison guard and said, "Open the door." ”
The guard hesitated for a moment, but thought that it was approved by the emperor and that there should be no problem, so he opened the door.
Yang Sheng turned his head, looked at the person who walked in, and wrinkled his eyebrows slightly.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Jincheng was stunned, he didn't know himself, this ...... Xiao Jincheng walked closer quickly, and after confirming that it was Yang Sheng, he put the food box aside.
"You don't know me?"
"......" Yang Sheng didn't speak.
"I'm Xiao Jincheng."
"It turned out to be Lord Xiao." Yang Sheng said indifferently, not knowing why Lord Xiao came to see him.
Because he didn't know Lord Xiao, and he hadn't been in contact with Lord Xiao.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Jincheng's eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Are you alright? Why don't you even know me? ”
"......" Yang Sheng still didn't answer his question, when he saw the food box on the side, he directly reached out and took it, opened the lid and saw the wine inside, so he only took the wine.
Xiao Jincheng felt very strange, and always felt that the man in front of him had changed and become a person he didn't know.
In order to confirm whether he was really Yang Sheng, Xiao Jincheng asked tentatively.
"Then do you know Qiao Sheng?"
Yang Sheng's drinking action paused, and his eyes looked at Xiao Jincheng.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Jincheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Didn't I tell you just now, I am Xiao Jincheng, and I used to be a magistrate in Fulai Town for a period of time. It's you, what's the matter with you? Why don't you seem to know me anymore, could it be that you forgot me after not seeing you for three years? ”
"Do I need to remember you?" Yang Sheng said arrogantly.
"Okay, you're awesome. Then don't drink my wine. Xiao Jincheng said and went to snatch the wine in his hand.
Yang Sheng skillfully dodged, hid the wine behind him, and then asked Xiao Jincheng.
"What are you here for?"
These words reminded Xiao Jincheng, and he sat on the grass.
"Do you want to go out?"
"Naturally." He also had to go out to find Ah Sheng.
"Then you will answer the emperor and receive the holy decree, so that you can go out." Xiao Jincheng said with a smile.
"You're a lobbyist sent by the princess?"
"No, I'm thinking about you, you said that if you die here, Ah Sheng will be sad, and besides, if you marry a princess, you won't lose anything, and the future will be bright at that time."
Hearing him call him "Ah Sheng", Yang Sheng frowned slightly, but the doubts in his heart were suppressed.
"I'd rather die than give in, I want to marry you."
"I want to marry, but the princess doesn't like me." Xiao Jincheng joked.
"Go back and tell the princess that I won't marry her." Yang Sheng had already positioned him as the princess's lobbyist.
Xiao Jincheng said angrily: "You can just be strong." If I hadn't looked at Ah Sheng's face, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you, but that's fine, Ah Sheng can remarry after you die. ”
After hearing this, Yang Sheng's doubts just now were confirmed.
On the other side, the masked man told Qiao Sheng about Yang Sheng being put in prison by the emperor. Qiao Sheng was worried, but she couldn't do anything about it, because she was too busy to take care of herself now, where could she still have the ability to save people.
The masked man smiled mockingly when he saw her pretending to be calm.
"Do you think he will accept the decree for his life?" The masked man leaned close to her ear and asked.
"What does it matter to me whether I pick up or not?" Qiao Sheng said indifferently.
"Hard-mouthed." The masked man laughed.
Qiao Sheng felt like he was going crazy, it had been almost a month, and he had nerves every day.
"Do you want to save him?" The masked man looked at her.
Qiao Sheng also stared at him, although she couldn't see the expression on his face, but she didn't answer the question immediately. After all, who knows if there is fraud in this.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the masked man laughed and continued.
"But you're going to do something for me."
"What's the matter?" knew that it was definitely not a good thing, but she still couldn't help but ask, because she wanted to save Yang Sheng out.
"Go kill someone for me."
"Who."
"Shen Jiqiu."
Qiao Sheng frowned, as soon as he heard the name, he knew that this person was not simple.
"You can't kill this person, why do you think I can kill this person?"
"Did I say I couldn't kill this person?"
"Then why do you want me to kill, you can't do it yourself."
"I can't do it." The masked man became sad, if she could do it, she didn't know how many times she had died, "How about it, do you do this deal or not?" ”
"It's okay for me to kill people, but you have to get Yang Sheng out now, who knows if you will lie to me."
The masked man didn't reply to her immediately, but took a long time before answering her.
"Okay, just do what you say, get that person out first." After the masked man finished speaking, he stuffed a pill into her mouth, "You only have a month's business, and if you haven't been able to finish it after a month has passed, then you will only die." ”
"You ......" Before Qiao Sheng could say anything, the back of her neck was chopped, and then she closed her eyes and fainted.
******
"Lao Liu, why did you stop suddenly."
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the sound of the underworld came from the carriage.
"Sir, there is a girl lying on the ground in front of you, who seems to be injured." The person called Lao Liu replied.
After listening to Lao Liu's words, Yin Cheng got out of the carriage, and Lao Liu immediately got out of the carriage and put the stool on the ground.
"Go and see if people are still alive."
"Yes, sir." Lao Liu put away the whip of the carriage and walked over.
The person on the ground was facing the ground, Lao Liu turned her over, and when he saw that face, he was so frightened that the whole person froze.
Yin Cheng who found the anomaly walked over, and when he saw that face, he was also stunned.
At first, I thought it was the Jade Princess, but after a closer look, I confirmed that it was not, but this face was more like a pearl.
"Lao Liu, look at her, she's still alive."
Lao Liu came back to his senses and immediately reached out to probe his nose. Feeling his breath, he smiled and looked back.
"Master, it's still alive."
"Get her into the wagon."
Lao Liu nodded, hurriedly picked up the people on the ground, and walked to the carriage.
After the city helped get people in, he also got into the carriage.
The carriage drove up, and the underworld in the carriage looked at the people in front of him in a daze.
Qiao Sheng gradually woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a middle-aged uncle staring at her, so frightened that she hurriedly sat up and took precautions.
At this time, she found that she was in the carriage, and the uncle before meeting had no intention of making a move, so she let down her guard.
"Where is this going?"
"The capital." The city of the underworld replied,
Hearing that he was going to the capital, Qiao Sheng was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Uncle, why am I here?" ”
"You fainted in the middle of the road, and I got you up."
It turned out that it was this uncle who saved himself.
Qiao Sheng laughed: "Thank you Uncle for coming to the rescue." ”
"No thanks, I just saw that you looked like an old man, so I came to save you." Speaking of this old man, Yin Cheng had a sad expression on his face, although it was only for a second, he was still caught by Qiao Sheng.
Qiao Sheng smiled lightly, and then asked boldly and tentatively: "Does Uncle also think that I look like a jade princess?" ”
Originally, she wanted to explain Princess Zhu, but when the words reached her throat, she changed her words.
Yin Cheng smiled lightly, and then said, "Yes and no." ”
"Yes and no? What does that mean? Qiao Sheng frowned.
"You look more like that person than the Jade Princess." Seeing that she was not very old, the city asked her, "How old are you?" ”
"Twenty." Qiao Sheng replied.
"Twenty?" Yin Cheng frowned slightly, if her child was still alive, it would be so big.
Qiao Sheng saw his uncle's reaction and asked curiously.
"What's wrong, uncle?"
"Nothing." Yin Cheng felt that it should be impossible, but he still couldn't help but want to confirm in his heart, "Do you have a red crescent birthmark on your left shoulder?" ”
Although Qiao Sheng was stunned for a second, she still shook her head.
Seeing her shake her head, the Netherworld City became disappointed.
"Does Uncle suspect that I am the daughter of your old man?"
Yin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but when she saw her innocent face, she didn't doubt it, and then nodded.
"If her child were still alive, as old as you."
"I'm sorry to talk about my uncle's sadness." It seems that the uncle in front of him is Qiao Yi's lifelong mother's friend.
"It's okay, what's your name?"
"Qiao Sheng, a sheng with a new word under the bamboo."
"What about your father?"
"Mom and Dad are dead." Qiao Sheng answered correctly, because they were indeed all dead.
After hearing this, Yin Cheng felt embarrassed.
Qiao Sheng also saw it, and said with a smile: "I have long been relieved, uncle doesn't have to feel guilty." ”
"By the way, Uncle I don't know your name yet."
"Yin City, you can call me Uncle Yin."
"Okay, Uncle Yin." Qiao Sheng called, "That, Uncle Yin, can you take me to the capital with you?" ”
"Yes." Yin Cheng didn't ask her what she was doing in the capital, but if she went to the capital with this face, she was afraid that she would cause trouble, "However, your face is a little troublesome." ”
"It's easy, I can be disguised." Qiao Sheng had already thought about it, it was impossible for her to use this face to walk on the streets of the capital.
"You can also disguise yourself?" The Underworld looked at her in surprise.
"Hehe, walking the rivers and lakes, how can I not have one or two stunts, but there are no materials, this is also bothering Uncle Yin to help me find some materials, and the money can be returned to Uncle Yin when I go to the capital to find a friend and get it."
"No problem." The Underworld readily agreed to her.
"Then thank you, Uncle Yin."
Qiao Sheng didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, but this way he could see that he was very good.
"No thanks." The Netherworld didn't ask much, then leaned aside with squinted eyes.
Qiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look outside, and her heart did fly to the capital. I don't know what happened to him.
A pair of eyes in Yin Cheng opened a slit and looked at Qiao Sheng who was looking outside. questioned her identity, after all, how could an ordinary girl from an ordinary family be disguised, there are not many people who can do this kind of thing. So who is she? What is the purpose of going to the capital?
