Chapter 166: Two Long Swords
The light in the prison was dim, Ye Yuanzhou took a closer look, and found that it was Du Ruo who was thrown in.
He didn't make a sound, just stared at Du Ruo, and saw the guards lock the cell door and leave, so he came to the edge of the cell, looked carefully through the wooden fence, and whispered to each other: "Du Ruo!" Du Ruo! Can you hear me? ”
Du Ruo didn't react at first, Ye Yuanzhou's heart seemed to have countless scales in his heart, and he had already sunk to the bottom.
But if you take a closer look, the clothes on Du Ruo's body are clean, and there is no blood stains coming out, not like he has been tortured, he is a little relieved, thinking about it, and estimating that he was stimulated by the main hall, so he became like this.
Ye Yuanzhou's heart was like a knife, thinking that Du Ruo was kidnapped and almost caught refining medicine, he was able to calm down and desperately find a way to get out.
Now such a resolute and resolute woman is like a rag doll, just like a rag doll, lying in the cell of the prison, lying on the damp straw mat, like a living dead.
"Du Ruo, no matter what you have experienced outside, the more times like this, the stronger we must be!" He whispered to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo remained motionless and did not react.
Ye Yuanzhou had no choice, so he had to stay by the fence and call softly from time to time.
Du Ruo never said anything, but he didn't know how long he had been lying motionless for a long time, and finally moved.
She got up tremblingly, slowly, with a slightly sluggish expression, crawled to the edge of the fence, leaned against the angle between the wall and the fence, and sat down on her knees.
Ye Yuanzhou talked to her, but she didn't say a word, just looked at one place with empty eyes, looking lost and depressed.
Seeing her like this, Ye Yuanzhou had no idea, and in the end he could only choose to sit at the corner between the fence and the wall like her.
At the moment, he has nothing else to do, but to get as close to Du Ruo as possible, even if he can use this to strengthen her courage, or based on some invisible safety, it is better than doing nothing.
In this way, the two of them were locked up in the prison for several days, and every day there would be a messenger to bring them food, only one meal a day, and this so-called meal was only a rough cake.
Even Ye Yuanzhou, a person who had been trained in the army, felt as if he was chewing wood dregs when he ate it, and when he swallowed it, his throat hurt.
But Du Ruo didn't say a word, every day when the cake came, she numbly picked it up, broke it into pieces, filled it into her mouth, chewed it with difficulty, and then swallowed it.
Ye Yuanzhou was a little worried, he didn't know how long he and Du Ruo would be locked up here, and he didn't know whether it would be better to be locked up for a longer time, or it would be better to have news from the outside earlier.
After another two days, there was some chaos inside the prison, and he vaguely heard the sound of the guards inside the prison talking outside.
The guards were discussing some unusual things in the court, and because the discussion was more intense, they forgot to keep their voices down for a while.
Ye Yuanzhou also practiced martial arts and cultivated a keen ear, so he listened to the content of those people's words really and clearly.
There seems to be some chaos in the court.
Originally, those important ministers of the court who were well-behaved and honest in the court suddenly brushed the court in recent days, and there was no name, that is, no one entered the palace, and the emperor sent people to look for it, and there was no news to wear back.
Although none of those ministers showed up to give an explanation, the wind in the capital did not know where it came from, and there were rumors everywhere that it was said that the saints of the present day had lost their virtues, committed unrighteous acts against the will of heaven, and harmed the loyal and good, thus causing panic among the people of the DPRK and China.
If it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that Da Yin will soon be gone, and the world will be chaotic!
As a result, the capital, which was originally peaceful and prosperous, was panicked in just a few days, and many wealthy businessmen began to think about how to transfer their families and property to other states and counties, preferably relatively peaceful, so as to avoid possible wars.
There are also people who are uneasy in their hearts, but they are not willing to gamble with their wealth, so they hesitate, not knowing whether to go or not.
A few days later, I faintly heard that it seemed that even the Praetorian Guards in the palace had defected, thinking that the emperor should give up the throne to someone who was more virtuous and truly worthy of the throne.
These rebellious Praetorian Guards besieged the emperor in the harem and forced him to hand over the jade seal.
Outside the palace, Prince Rui had already heard about the mutiny of the Praetorian Guards in the palace, and had begun to gather soldiers and horses, preparing to surround the palace from the outside to help the emperor get rid of the predicament of being imprisoned.
It's good now, the people in the capital fled in panic, seeing that the world was about to be chaotic.
On this day, Du Ruo and Ye Yuanzhou nested in the prison as usual, silently gnawing on the thick and hard cakes without saying a word, and suddenly two people wearing inner clothes but looking very angry broke into the prison.
The two men went straight to Ye Yuanzhou and Du Ruo's prison and threw two swords along the fence.
"Who are you? What does this do? Ye Yuanzhou looked at the long sword they threw in, twisted his eyebrows and asked.
"Captain Ye, oh no, General Ye!" The waiter's attitude was extremely respectful, and he bowed deeply to him through the prison door, "I have heard the prestige of General Ye for a long time, and I know that the general is the champion of martial arts in the current dynasty, and he is known as Wuqu Xing.
But such a great talent, but he has been suppressed, and he can only be relegated to the position of a small lieutenant in Songzhou, what a humiliation!
I didn't expect General Ye to endure humiliation and burden, he already knew the righteousness, and the emperor would still wronged you for having the intention of rebellion and locked you in a prison, I really can't bear it.
However, yesterday, we suddenly heard that the emperor not only suspected General Ye before, but also suspected that General Ye also had the heart of rebellion, and now he is urgently recruiting General Ye back to the palace, planning to trick into the palace to kill him, so as to prevent future troubles.
Although we are all a group of cowards, we can't bear to see heroes like the general's father and son end up in such a field.
So today we risked our lives to come and plan to release General Ye!
Taking advantage of the fact that King Rui's people have not yet been summoned to take place, it is better for you to strike first! Kill the tyrant first, and then kill the wise prince! We are willing to support General Ye as the new emperor! Let the world regain its lord and keep the world peaceful!
In this way, you can not only protect the safety of General Ye, but also return the world to a Ming master, and also avenge this blood feud for the relatives who died in vain! ”
When Du Ruo heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which had been dull, seemed to be lit up again in an instant, as if hope resurfaced in his already desperate heart.
