Chapter 7: Disgrace to the Thousands of Traversers
Lin Jue rubbed his sore wrists, handed a letter to Phinex, and said, "Now, go ahead, find the king and give him this." ”
Fenix stared at Lin Jue suspiciously, uncertain, "Aren't you leaving here?"
Lin Jue shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just the two of us, I don't have that confidence, I can leave this palace completely, don't worry, you give this to the king, and he will send me out later." ”
"Are you so sure? Okay. Phoenixes hesitated for a moment, then changed into her own body, a phoenix the size of an adult eagle, holding an envelope, and flew out of the window.
Inside this envelope was a report drawn up by Lin Jue after spending several hours studying the national situation of the Orlante Kingdom, and he believed that the king would be happy to see this report.
Lin Jue wrote another letter, came to the bedroom, he hung the letter around the neck of the little bear, stuffed the little bear into Mo Kexin's arms, kissed her gently, opened the door, walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and sat down on the ground, waiting for His Majesty the King to come.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, didn't you say that His Majesty the King would send you out, why did you invite you here as a guest?" Looking at Lin Jue behind the iron bar, Fenix teased.
Well, there was an unexpected little situation, Lin Jue, who was waiting at the door of the princess's room, did wait for His Majesty the King, well, there was also a team of guards, so His Majesty the King smiled and asked the guards to invite Lin Jue to this luxurious suite surrounded by iron railings. Well, in a word, a prison cell.
"There's no reason, didn't this stupid king recognize you as a phoenix!?" Lin Jue scratched his head with some distress.
With her chin in one hand, Phoenixes sat opposite Lin Jue, unsure, "I shouldn't recognize it." But what does it have to do with whether you recognize me or not that you're locked up here?"
Lin Jue said helplessly: "Of course it matters, the totem of the Yan Empire is the dragon, when the Orlante Kingdom was founded, the phoenix was given as the totem of this country." Originally, I thought that he would take a good look at this letter for the sake of you being a phoenix. ”
"Hey, little phoenix, aren't you going to get me out?" Lin Jue wondered.
Phinex shook her head.
"Hey, if you don't get me out, according to this posture, in case tomorrow morning, I will have to go to the guillotine, who will help the witch find her heart?"
Phinex smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'd rather they send you to the guillotine." Here, even if I get you out, you won't be able to escape, and if I put you outside, it's different, the guards outside are powerful, and I have the ability to get you away. Okay, okay, get some sleep here, don't worry. As soon as she finished speaking, Phinex shook her figure, transformed into a body, and flew out through the vents in the wall.
Lin Jue stared at the vent bitterly, and shouted loudly: "Hey, if I die, I won't let you go!"
At this time, a hoarse voice came, like a ghost: "Okay, let's sleep here, she is right, even if she rescues you here, you can't leave here." ”
Lin Jue was startled by this voice, calmed his breathing, he turned his head and looked at a cell next to him, the sound came from that side.
"Who's over there?" Lin Jue asked.
"A poor man who has been locked up here for five years. ”
Lin Jue leaned over to take a look, in this dimly lit prison, he could only see a vague figure, unable to see the appearance. Listening to this voice, Lin Jue automatically judged in his mind: "It's probably an old man with gray hair." ”
The voice asked, "How did you get in?"
Lin Jue was silent for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I wrote a letter to the king, and then I was imprisoned." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
After Lin Jue finished answering, the cell fell silent, deathly silent, only the occasional mouse cry from the corner, squeaking.
After a long time, the voice said disdainfully, "Tsk...... Then you're too inferior. ”
Lin Jue himself was a little depressed, and when he heard the voice say this, he suddenly became even more unhappy, and asked, "Hey, then how did you get in!"
"Hehe, I proposed to the king to build a sail warship with three deck guns, and in the first battle, I destroyed a privateer fleet in the Smollen Kingdom, and the king was overjoyed and asked me to name this ship, so I took a Victory, and that night, the ship was scuttled by the spies of the Smolene Kingdom. His Majesty was very upset, so he locked me in. ”
Lin Jue was speechless for a while, the three-deck sail battleship, also named the Victory, he thought that the Navy of the Kingdom of Orlant was the British Royal Navy.
Lin Jue lay leisurely on the straw mat, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you are amazing, but well, in fact, I slept on the bed of Her Royal Highness the princess for one night, maybe I was locked up because of this." ”
After a moment of silence, the voice suddenly said excitedly: "I'll go, brother, you're awesome! I'm still a traverser, compared to you, it's like living like a dog, you're better than me." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jue was stunned and asked tentatively, "Wait...... You just said...... Are you a traverser?"
The voice laughed: "Hey, don't care about these details, you just think of it as a carpenter, blacksmith or something, a profession, with different names." ”
After a moment of silence, Lin Jue asked tentatively, "Which one did you cross from?"
When Lin Jue's words fell, there was silence in the cell again.
"Hey, are you still there?"
Lin Jue shook his head with a wry smile, and said secretly: "Also, this traverser is not a cabbage, how can it be anywhere, maybe I heard it wrong just now." ”
Lin Jue was thinking so, when he saw that in that cell, a haggard figure suddenly came under the moonlight, and Lin Jue was startled when he saw it. This person, with dry black hair mixed with a lot of white hair, although his face is haggard, he looks like he is only in his thirties, but looking at the whole body, he looks at least fifty years old.
"Hey, what do you mean by crossing?" the man asked, his eyes shining.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what do you mean by traverser?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's not clear for a while, Shanghai, do you know?"
Hearing this, Lin Jue was stunned, and after a while, he asked, "I know Shanghai, so do you know Beijing?"
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, silent for a long time, in the eyes of the two, thousands of emotions collided together, and after a while, the two people ran to the railing crying like long-lost biological brothers, and hugged each other through the railing.
The man cried, "Brother, I've been in my cell here for five years, and I've finally found an organization!"
Lin Jue also had a sad face, and said excitedly: "Brother, don't talk about it, I understand your pain!
