The second month after the end of the trial, a large group of men and horses appeared in the north of the southern border after the arrival of a report from the southern border gates.

The people of the Great Xia Emperor have arrived...

The visiting procession is like a brilliant river of gold, silver and steel, pouring into the gate of Lingnan City. There were five hundred of them, and they were composed of the Great Xia Emperor's personal guards, attendants, and court maids.

The wind whipped at the dozens of golden flags held high above their heads, embroidered with roaring golden dragons symbolizing the Gu royal family.

There were almost no faces in the team that Qi Rusong knew, but the person who walked at the front of the team, accompanied by several majestic and powerful people, seemed to be easier to identify in his eyes.

The other party turned over and jumped off the war horse, let out the familiar Hong Zhong shout, and then hugged him: "You must be Qi Rusong!" The figure looked him up and down carefully, then laughed loudly, "You resemble your father." ”

The portrait of the Great Xia Emperor, stone carvings can be seen everywhere. This person is almost the same as the appearance of the Great Xia Emperor, so Qi Rusong is sure that this person must be Gu Yang, the second prince of the Great Xia Emperor.

It is rumored that the two princes of the Great Xia Emperor are both sturdy men with clean faces and clear eyes, which makes the Huaichun girl dream of. But now he is a greasy aristocrat who is fat and meaty.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Qi Rusong knelt down on one knee: "Your Royal Highness, Lingnan City is waiting for your dispatch." ”

The second prince, Gu Yang, hurriedly helped him up, "Excuse me, excuse me!" The strong are respected, how can I, a person who has not cultivated spiritual energy, receive this great gift, haha. ”

At this time the others dismounted, and the grooms from the city came to take care of the horses.

Then Gu Yang looked at Su Yu for a long time as if he had seen his long-lost sister.

"This is your wife? Sure enough, it's a beauty. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment! I heard that the princess is one of the most beautiful women in the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

The two sides were still greeting each other, and Gu Yang said, "Rusong, where is your rebellious brother?" ”

"In the prison, he never said the whereabouts of his father, I have to know the truth!"

"Ha, take me to see it!"

This made everyone stunned, and the captain of Gu Yang's guard objected, saying that everyone was on the road early in the morning, and everyone was hungry and tired at this time, so they should rest for a while, and there was no need to be in such a hurry to see the prisoners.

Seeing Gu Yang staring at him coldly, he didn't say any more.

The courtesy of this prince is all fake... That look just now is the real him! Qi Rusong and Su Yu understood it at a glance.

So Qi Rusong had to let Su Yu and Shi Snake entertain the other royal family members, and he followed Gu Yang to the underground cell.

The spiral staircase leading to the heavenly dungeon was very narrow, so Qi Rusong walked in front with the lights on.

"Where's your sister-in-law?" Gu Yang asked him, "You're not going to slaughter her, are you?" ”

"She didn't commit the death penalty, and I put her under house arrest in my room."

"Even if you kill it, what's the matter," Gu Yang complained as he went downstairs, "they're all chaotic ministers and thieves!" ”

Qi Rusong was speechless and had to divert the topic, "Your Highness, I believe you must have had a good trip, right?" ”

Gu Yang smiled: "There are woods and wilderness everywhere along the way. I've never seen such a vast wasteland in my life, where have all the people of the South gone? ”

"Most of them are too shy to come out, and it's rare to see the prince in the south!" Qi Rusong quipped, and he felt a chill sweeping up from the dungeon, like a cold breath deep underground. "The people of the southern realm are already the least of the five realms, plus the last demon disaster!"

"And your brother is making such a fuss!" Gu Yang smiled again.

"I hope it didn't bother the Great Xia Kingdom."

"Troubled? What your brother has done, the common people will talk about it for half a month at most. Gu Yang Dao, "And you, [Swing Judgment]!" In just a few months, from the [Second-Order Sword Envoy] to the [Sixth-Order Sword Venerable], my Great Xia Kingdom has not been so strong for a thousand years. ”

By the time they reached the bottom of the stairs and entered the deep darkness of the dungeon, Gu Yang was already out of breath, breathless, and red in the light.

"Your Highness, please come in," Qi Rusong said respectfully, and then circled the lantern in a semicircle.

"This place is really not for people." Gu Yang held his mouth and nose, disgust written all over his face.

The stench is foul, rats are scurrying, and you can't see your fingers. No one would object to saying that it was hell.

Layers of cell doors were opened, and when the two of them walked to the cell where Qi Rubai was.

The former prince of the southern realm was grabbing a fat rat, and no matter how it writhed and screamed, he directly bit it. Hunger drove him to gobble up, and he no longer struggled to bite the third mouse. He felt a little satisfied.

Qi Rubai was so frightened when he heard the voice of the person who came that he immediately froze, and he didn't dare to chew again. He listened in horror to the jingle of the keys and the kicking of his footsteps.

The last meal was about two days ago, or three days ago, and it was so dark under the ground that I couldn't tell. His limbs were as thin as reed rods; The stomach is swollen and the stomach is empty.

He cowered into the corner of his cell, praying that he hadn't come to him. The sound was getting louder and louder, there was more than one cell, and he was not the only prisoner. Sometimes you can hear other people screaming through the thick stone walls.

But the jingle of footsteps and keys stopped at his door, and the rat fell from between his fingers. He kicked the straw on the ground with his heels, trying to find a crack in the wall and squeeze in.

The sound of unlocking is the most terrifying. The light of the fire reflected in his face, and he exclaimed.

He was abolished from his foundation, and now he is a wasted person, not to mention practicing martial arts, it is difficult to even walk. "They're here to kill me? My brother is finally going to get rid of me! "He kept shaking...

"Oh my God! What do you think he's doing? Gu Yang almost threw up. He actually ate rats raw! ”

"They won't give you food?" Qi Rusong brought the torch in front of him, so that he could look more clearly.

"Please, don't hit me!" The former prince of the South prayed that the rats would bite him while he was sleeping, gnawing at his fingers, toes, and even his face. To eat or to be eaten, there is no choice. "I ate it. They will eat me too. Please..."

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" Gu Yang shook his head, "Poor, pitiful..."

"If I lose, I'm afraid the end will be worse than this!" Qi Rusong sneered. "How? Would you like to tell your father's whereabouts? ”

Father! A wail rushed to his throat. "Father—" he whispered, his voice like a gossamer, and his voice was like that of a centenarian.

"I don't have much patience, if I think about it, I'll say it quickly, and I'll leave without me."

"Don't go!" He couldn't help but burst into tears. "I really don't know where my father is, but on that day my men came to report that he was not in the house. So I sent people everywhere to look for him, but my father was like evaporating from the world. ”

"Nonsense!" Qi Rusong pretended to be angry, and he began to believe his brother's words in his heart.

But even if this is a fact, it cannot be admissible. There are too many involved in this matter, and the crime of killing his father must be borne by Qi Rubai.

"Shizi," Gu Yang said meaningfully, "You're still honest, why are you so stubborn and suffer here?" ”

"I didn't... "You have... You killed your father! Gu Yang's words were more like hints or reminders, "What about the body?" Where did you throw the remains? ”

"Remains? I... I don't remember exactly..."Qi Rubai's mouth opened and closed. "I have commanded the body of my father... Throw it into the Ghost Forest..."

"Look, isn't that what that is?"
