Chapter 320: The Secret History of the Past
The coldness of the prison never changes because of the bright sunshine outside, and the moisture that has nowhere to dissipate all year round burrows into the cracks of the bones one by one, making it cold from head to toe.
The fine iron shackles have not been covered with a layer of dust for many years, but the dust is obviously cleaner than the person who is detained, at least there is no blood stain, no frightening wounds, and no pools of blood seeping all over the ground. The jailer wanted to get rid of the blood that made people chill when they looked at it, but there was something else in the prison besides the shackled people that he didn't dare to come closer.
"Aren't all these snakes poisonous?" The younger jailer swallowed, his face turning blue with fear.
The old jailer glanced at the snakes in the cell, long or short, of all colors, and his expression was not very relaxed: "I don't know if it's poisonous or not, anyway, don't mess with them, they all say that snakes have spiritual properties to become essence, and if you let this thing bite it, you don't know how it will die." ”
"But......" The little jailer hesitated, and his eyes fell on the man in the cell, who had his head bowed, not knowing whether he was awake or asleep. The scene was indeed a little scary, the snakes all over the ground were twisting and wriggling, constantly spitting blood red letters, and the men in the center were forced to avoid it and had nowhere to hide, and the feeling of standing in the midst of the snakes must have been extremely uncomfortable. The little jailer craned his neck to look at the door of the prison, turned his head and whispered to the man, "Your Highness, Your Highness the Prince, can you hear me?" ”
The old jailer gasped and stomped on the little jailer's feet: "Are you crazy or stupid." What to do if you lure the snake over. ,”
"Then, you can't look at the prince...... You see, the prince hasn't moved for a long time, in case something goes wrong......"
The little jailer's incoherent speech was exchanged for the old jailer stepping on it harder: "Flash fart, what is the real flash inability." You feed the snake for him. Secretly looking at Yi Chenjing, who was still with his head down and not moving, the old jailer lowered his voice slightly: "The prince has been imprisoned here, do you think it can be peaceful outside." Who knows what's going on in the palace now, maybe the emperor has already ...... In short, you and I just need to look at the prison, any palace changes and rebellions have nothing to do with us, if you want to keep your head, you can stay honest, otherwise you will be like everyone else. ”
Thinking of the corpses of more than a dozen jailers piled up in the depths of the prison, the little jailer shuddered, and his face quickly turned gray.
Who would have thought that the palace prison that was not very popular would have such a day. Unknown people burst in, and the jailers were brutally killed, leaving them staring at the prince, oh yes, and the creepy bunch of snakes. The little jailer didn't know what was going on outside, he only had a vague premonition that the sky in the palace of Yaoguo seemed to be about to collapse.
"What are you two muttering?" A bewitching and careless voice suddenly came, and the two jailers froze at the same time, and hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down, their foreheads pressed against the ground.
The red gauze robe dragged across the ground in front of him, and the graceful figure approached the cell where Yi Chenjing was held nonchalantly, and after a strange flute sound, the lazy snakes suddenly came to their senses, and they all stretched out their snake bodies and stood up.
"Don't be afraid, these children are docile and don't hurt easily, of course, on the premise that no one provokes them." Ruan Yanluo laughed coquettishly, put away the finger-length bone piccolo, and looked at Yi Chenjing who was hanging in the cell, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I really can't bear to see you pitiful like this, how can I say that we have also had a night of lingering, if you die, I will be sad." Seeing that Yi Chenjing was motionless and did not respond, Ruan Yanluo shrugged his shoulders and sighed regretfully: "Haven't you woken up yet?" It's boring, it's boring, and I thought I could watch the two of you brothers fight or just have a fight. But think about it, how could that bloodthirsty prince risk letting you out. Just looking at the emperor was enough for him. Tsk, don't say it, you can't hear it. Hey, you two, give me a good look. These children hadn't eaten for a long time, and they didn't want to replace the corpses inside as their food, so they were honest and obedient. ”
"Yes, yes, you must be obedient, you must be obedient......" The old jailer kowtowed desperately, sifting chaff all over his body.
As the footsteps faded away, the sound of laughter echoed in the cold prison, and it was not until they could no longer hear that the two jailers let out a sigh of relief, and collapsed to the ground as if they had picked up their lives.
Xu is tense nerves suddenly relaxed, which made them a little sluggish, and neither of them noticed that Yi Chenjing moved slightly in the cell. The closed eyes slowly opened, and the dark eyes stared at the snakes wrapped around the legs and feet, and the cold face had no expression.
He has never won a duel with Yi Chenxuan, and this time it is the same.
The team that was sent to pursue Yi Chenxuan before was stopped by a trap on the road, Yi Chenxuan escaped, Yi Chenjing and Lian Suiliang both thought that Yi Chenxuan could not return to the imperial capital again, and the rest of the days would inevitably be spent on the run, but it turned out that their guess was wrong, and everyone underestimated Yi Chenxuan's courage and viciousness.
According to what Sui Liang said, when he left the imperial capital, it was the war court that was protecting Emperor Yao and the empress, and with the kung fu of the war court, even if Ji Sanqian appeared, it would be impossible to succeed. But when Yi Chenjing and Lian Suiliang walked into the Purple Cloud Palace with confidence, what was waiting for them was not Emperor Yao or Gonggong Tao, but the overwhelming group of snakes, and Yi Chenxuan, who stood behind the snakes with his hands in his hands, looking at them with a sneer, and Yi Chenxuan who should not have appeared here at all.
A silent self-deprecating smile appeared in the dark, Yi Chenjing moved his fingers, still numb and unconscious, and his body was the same.
Dealing with the enemy, he and Occasional Suiliang can deal with it with ease, even if they are besieged by ten people, they can still retreat, which he is confident in, but when facing inhuman things, the situation is different, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ruan Yanluo is a snake and scorpion poisonous woman, a piccolo, a few strange flute sounds, those scalp-numbing snakes were actually controlled by her, so that he and Occasional Suiliang were caught off guard and didn't know how to resist. Soon, large and small wounds appeared on the body, and the snake venom also melted into the blood along the wound, and only half a pillar of incense made the two most courageous generals of the country powerless to defeat the battle.
And then when I woke up, it was here.
The incident happened in the Purple Cloud Palace, so it means that the Emperor and Empress Yao in the Purple Cloud Palace have also been attacked, and it is unknown whether the battle court is still there, or even he has suffered an accident.
Yi Chenxuan's return to the horse pistol was unexpected, which shows that his methods are old and spicy, although Yi Chenjing is reluctant, he has to bow to the wind and talk about conspiracy and trickery, but he is afraid that no one in the palace of Yaoguo is Yi Chenxuan's opponent. While his mind was still clear, Yi Chenjing speculated over and over again about how to get out of trouble, and whenever he saw snakes crawling on the ground, he would be swallowed by despair, and he couldn't even get out of prison, who else could he save.
"Where's the general?" When he finally gave up with nothing to do, Yi Chenjing asked in a low voice.
The little jailer was stunned for a long time before he reacted that it was Yi Chenjing who was talking, and seeing that there was no one outside, he ignored the old jailer's pulling, and replied in a suppressed voice: "General Puppet is not here, and the prison is now only locked up by the prince." ”
In other words, I can't count on anyone else. Yi Chenjing fell silent again.
He didn't know that even Sui Liang was more seriously injured than him, and at this time he was left in a corner somewhere where and his life was uncertain, and the only battle court that could be counted on was galloping on horseback hundreds of times, rushing to Qiaojiazhai with an unreal distress letter. Inside and outside the palace, either Yi Chenxuan's subordinates or the forbidden army under coercion and control, but anyone who could save him and turn the tide in a desperate situation was all cut off from the reach, and the current situation was truly isolated and helpless.
According to Ruan Yanluo's instructions before, the old jailer went to report as soon as Yi Chenjing regained consciousness, and Ruan Yanluo did not dare to delay, and hurried to Ziyun Palace to see Yi Chenxuan.
"Wake up, I'm afraid that Lao Qi won't hold up his life, in that case, the final game of chess will not be very interesting." In the inner hall of Ziyun Palace, Yi Chenxuan sat on the dragon couch and played chess alone leisurely.
"Launch a palace rebellion and imprison the emperor, Yi Chenxuan, you are seeking power and usurping the throne."
The cold voice came from the empress Sima Tulan, and the emperor and empress of the distant kingdom who had only been freed from captivity not long ago were now in a similar situation, but this time the threat to them was more concrete, not the pervasive ghostly bell, but the swords, swords, halberds, and golden cages.
A real golden cage.
"This cage was used by the emperor to imprison his half-brother King Guangling in the past, and the king of Guangling supported his army with the intention of rebellion, but was suppressed by the first emperor, and then spent twelve years in the golden cage, eating and drinking every day, like a plaything to be watched, until he went crazy and died in the cage." Yi Chenxuan said seemingly unrelated allusions, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and he never glanced at the queen or the emperor.
The terminally ill Emperor Yao still had a breath, and when he heard Yi Chenxuan say this, he coughed twice and slowly moved his gaze to the couch: "What happened back then...... How much do you know. ”
"I guess it's all." The falling chess pieces stopped in mid-air, and Yi Chenxuan finally tilted his head slightly, "Does my father think that letting the historian ban the pen can cover up everything?" The crown prince who was supposed to inherit the unification died violently overnight, and then his father replaced him as Emperor Da Yao, what happened that night was not something that his father could completely erase. Dropping the chess pieces and walking to the cage, Yi Chenxuan looked down at the once lofty Emperor Yaoguo, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes: "Bloodline is a wonderful thing, you see, isn't the seventh child now following in the footsteps of his father and wanting to repeat history." If it weren't for me, maybe Lao Qi would have forced the eldest brother to usurp the throne and become the emperor a long time ago, and my father should thank me. ”
Emperor Yao was silent, and the queen held Emperor Yao's exhausted body and looked up coldly: "Yi Chenxuan, what do you think you are." It's not the same as seeking power and usurping the throne in a vain attempt to become emperor. How much do you know about the events of the past, and you dare to make a big statement here. It's ridiculous,"
"How much does the queen know about the events of the year?" Yi Chenxuan asked rhetorically, with a strange smile on his face, "I don't believe you ask my father to see if I am seeking power and usurping the throne, or if this throne should have been mine." Father, you can speak fairly...... No, there's no need to call you father emperor anymore, right, second uncle. ”
