The cold in the prison was overwhelming, and I instinctively shrunk back and hugged my arms to keep warm.

Seven years ago, after falling into the cold pool, I became very cold, the elder said that it may be soaked in the cold pool for a long time, the cold into the body, because of this, he also specially taught me a set of internal strength to expel the cold in the body. And Qianmo specially gave Chiyan to me last time, and it was for this reason.

Red Flame is a fire, and staying with it is beneficial to my physique invaded by cold air.

But at this moment, I feel that my heart is unusually sour, and I don't want to use my luck to ward off the cold at all, I just want to curl up in the corner and stay quietly for a while.

I need to use the cold in my body to expel the pain in my heart.

It was silent, and I closed my eyes, but I paid attention to the movement around me. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the prison, and then a somewhat familiar female voice came faintly from outside. "Get out of the way."

The guard guarding outside said with some embarrassment: "Madame Fang, the general has commanded, no one is allowed to enter without his order." ”

I was stunned. No wonder this voice sounded a little familiar, it turned out to be the woman he had newly married and entered the door, Lou Xinyue.

"Bold!" A rude shout, but it was another unfamiliar male voice. "Who is so important, even your wife can't see it! Get out of here, or I'll break your dog's legs, grandpa! ”

"The third master is angry, this is really the general's order, the little one doesn't dare to disobey ......" The guard's voice trembled, and he sounded like he was about to cry.

"What's going on?" A low and clear voice sounded, and although the tone was flat, it seemed to imply a bit of impatience.

This is the voice of He Liancheng.

"Brother Liancheng, you're just in time." Lou Xinyue responded sweetly: "I heard that you have found out the fine work that has been mixed into the He family's army, and my father-in-law is a little worried, so I thought about letting the third brother take a look." ”

I see. The "third master" in the guard's mouth just now should be the third son of the Tuba patriarch, Zabu.

The marriage between He Liancheng and Lou Xinyue was originally a marriage of interests. He Liancheng wants to revive the former majesty of the He family, and even more so may have to deal with Wan Yan Lu in the future, and the stronger the backing, the better, and the Tuba patriarch chose to marry the He family, thinking that he also bet on Wan Yan Ping.

"Xiaohe, what do you mean by that?" Zabu's rough voice sounded again, and he asked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Could it be that my Xiaoyue wants to come to the cell to see a prisoner, and I have to get your permission?" ”

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Lou Xinyue pretended to be disgusted and said: "Brother Liancheng didn't mean this, he must be afraid that I would be in danger, so he did this, Brother Liancheng, are you right?" ”

There was silence for a moment, and then I heard He Liancheng say a soft "um", "Since you're here, let's go in and have a look." ”

This was followed by the "clang" of the iron door of the cell, and the footsteps of several people entering the door in front and behind. When I opened my eyes, the first thing that caught my eye was the tall and tall figure of He Liancheng. Behind him, a mighty man with a stubble on his face, five big and three thick, pushed a wheelchair and came slowly.

That man, presumably, was the third son of the Tuba patriarch, Zabu. And the woman in the wheelchair is naturally the righteous daughter of the Tuba patriarch, the side lady of He Liancheng, Lou Xinyue.

Since the last time she was picked by King Xuan in King Xuan's mansion and broke her hamstrings, she could only use a wheelchair to walk and could no longer move freely.

Lou Xinyue's pretty face, which was originally a little smiling, instantly changed color the moment she saw me, raised her hand to me, and exclaimed, "You...... It turned out to be you? ”

Seeing her so surprised, He Liancheng's brows furrowed slightly. When Zabu saw me, his face full of black beard was also a little surprised, "Why is it a woman?" He turned his head to look at Lou Xinyue and asked puzzledly, "Xiaoyue knows this woman?" ”

Lou Xinyue suddenly "giggled" and laughed, the laughter was pleasant, but the eyes that looked at me were full of pride.

"It's really effortless, third brother, it's this woman who killed the fifth brother!"

——————————————

I woke up with a biting chill.

When I opened my eyes, I saw four stone walls. On the wall, a dim oil lamp shimmered brightly.

Where is this?

I instinctively moved, but I heard the sound of rippling water and chains colliding around me, and then a cone of pain swept over me, which instantly cleared my mind.

I remembered that this was no longer the prison of Hefu, but the water prison of the Tuba people.

If it hadn't been for Lou Xinyue mentioning it, I would have forgotten the vulgar man who died at my hands, the fifth son of the Tuba patriarch, and his youngest and most beloved son, Na Kotai.

I would have thought that when I killed Nakotai with a sword, I would find myself in such a predicament today.

In the water prison, the water was just above my chest. My body was soaked in dirty and cold water, and my heart was so suffocated that I could barely breathe, and I was almost suffocated by the coldness and despair that made me almost suffocate.

It's a feeling that I never forget. I remembered seven years ago, when I fell into that cold pool at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, it seemed like the same.

But this time, there will never be the same boy who went out of his way to save me.

The cold has eroded into the bones. My hands were tied to the iron frame on top by two thick iron chains, I endured the severe pain in my body, closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing, and after some exhalation, the true qi in my body slowly flowed, and I felt a lot warmer.

This set of mental methods was specially taught to me by the elders to help me resist the cold in my body. Over the years, I have devoted myself to practice, and my body has recovered a lot, and I am no longer afraid of cold and cold as before. But at the moment, I was so eroded by the chill of this water prison that I couldn't breathe.

In the Hefu prison, when Lou Xinyue said that it was me who killed Na Kotai, Zabu stared at me with eagle-like eyes, and there was still a little suspicion on his black face. "The fifth brother is one of the best warriors in my Tuba clan, and with such a thin and small body of this woman, can he kill him?"

"Third brother, this matter is true, this woman is actually very strong in martial arts, I saw it with my own eyes, it was she who stabbed into the chest of the fifth brother with a sword, poor fifth brother, he is dead and blind......" Lou Xinyue raised her hand to wipe her tears, with a look of indifference.

Zabu saw that Lou Xinyue said sincerely, and he believed it. He grinned a sinister sneer. "That's really a coincidence, three days later is the anniversary of the fifth brother's death, and Abba is worried about the sacrifice. I think I'll use this woman as a sacrifice, sacrifice her to the Immortal Heaven, and accompany my fifth brother." ”

In the Tuba people's concept, after death a person ascends to heaven and not to the earth, they call it "eternal life". Zabu's meaning is to kill me at the sacrifice to heaven, so that I can go up to heaven to accompany Nakotai.

"Satsuki also has this intention." Lou Xinyue smiled like a flower, but her eyes were vicious. "With such a big beauty to accompany the fifth brother, he definitely doesn't know how happy he is."

The two of them sang and harmonized, but He Liancheng was silent on the side. I was arrested on suspicion of being a fine workman in the Xuan Palace, but now the Tuba tribe wants to use my life to bury Nakotai. I thought He Liancheng would object. After all, the identity of my fine work has not yet been confirmed, and the real fine work lurking in the military camp has not yet appeared.

But I was disappointed. Until the end, he didn't say a word, just looked at me quietly for a long time. But in his eyes, which were as cold as a pool, I could not find my own shadow.

"Xiaohe, don't stop me this time." Zabu patted him on the shoulder, "After the death of the fifth brother, Abba has always regretted that he did not find the murderer who killed him and could not avenge him, and now that you have helped him catch the murderer, he will be very happy." ”

"Yes, Brother Liancheng, this time I was able to catch this woman, but it's all your credit." Lou Xinyue pushed the wheelchair to He Liancheng's side, grabbed his hand and looked at me, smiling delicately.

She hated Qianmo to the core, and naturally wished I would die sooner.

He Liancheng took a step forward, shook off Lou Xinyue's hand very naturally, and looked at me with eyes that were still indifferent and detached. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word, until he finally turned around and left, and what he left me was still just a back.

At this moment, I finally understood. He was completely ruthless to me.

With a bang, the iron door of the water prison was opened, and two tall Tuba soldiers walked in and said to the jailer outside the door: "It's time for the sacrifice, put her down and take her away!" ”
