As soon as the sailors and I fell asleep, we heard a sudden commotion in the corridor outside, followed by a knock on the door.

The sailor said, "Who will it be so late?" ”

I said, "Whoever he is, open the door first." ”

With that, he jumped out of bed and opened the door.

Outside stood a row of officers with knives, led by a leader who had taken us to the banquet building a few days ago on the orders of Chonggang to be placed in Kwaru Usan.

Seeing them standing there one by one with expressionless faces, I asked, "Lord Kwaru, is there anything wrong with coming here at such a late hour?"

Kwaru Wusan said: "You are prisoners of foreign invasions, and the prime minister is generous and merciful, treating you with courtesy, offering you jade food and food, and you can't help but let you wander around the capital, but you should not interfere in the affairs of our people. ”

Hearing this, I felt that something was wrong, but I still pretended to be calm and said: "Is there a misunderstanding between Lord Kwaru, several of us, except for the second uncle, who is a mute, are all children who are ignorant of the world. Since he was given the banquet building by the prime minister, in addition to waiting for news from the Wa royal family every day, he only cares about playing and eating and drinking everywhere, which will interfere in the affairs of the Huandou family. Besides, even if we want to intervene, this unfamiliar person can't intervene. ”

Kwaruuzan said: "You are so bold that you dare to hide a rebellious fugitive in private, and you are full of sophistries and misunderstandings. Bring it here. ”

A few servants brought over from the side a cheerful man, his wings tightly tied behind his back, his hands tied in front of him, and his face resentful. It turned out to be Longxi.

I said, "What are you doing here? Why are you arresting him?" ”

Kwaruwusan said, "Why are you arresting him? Are you really confused or pretending to be confused, since you can give him a room to live in, you don't know who he is?"

I said, "Of course I do." But he's ......."

"I'm sorry for you, I deceived everyone," Long Xi interrupted me, "I didn't ask a few people to take me in because I met robbers and didn't have money for food and accommodation." Actually, I am the son of the general of Danshui City, and I am a wanted criminal in the imperial court. ”。

Then he turned to Quaru Wusan and said, "These Wa royals are innocent, I took advantage of their sympathy to trick them into taking me in, I can go with you, and if you want to kill them, you will listen to them, but don't embarrass them." ”

Quaru Wusan looked at Long Xi, then at me and the sailors, and said, "I'll just say, you have just arrived at the realm of our clan, and it is impossible for you to participate in the rebellion. Be more cautious in the future and don't be taken advantage of by thieves. ”

At this point, I could only reluctantly nod and say, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Kwarusan turned around and went out and shouted, "Take him away." He escorted Long Xi downstairs.

As soon as the officers left, He Xuanya rushed out of the room, stood at the door of me and the sailors, and said anxiously, "Hurry up and pack your things, I have to get out of here." ”

After that, I went to knock on Jiyong's door.

The sailor said, "Sister Xiaoya, what's wrong, why are you in such a hurry to leave." ”

At this time, I also understood what He Xuanya meant, and said to the sailors: "Sister Xiaoya is worried, that group of people will come back and arrest us when they think something is wrong." ”

I hurriedly went back to my room to get my belongings, and when I went out, the three of them were already waiting in the hallway.

He Xuanya said: "Everyone is together, let's leave quickly." ”

With that, the four of us hurried downstairs.

The sailor asked as he walked, "Sister Xiaoya, have you thought we are going there?"

"You're not going anywhere. At the top of the staircase, Quaruu stood sculpturefully with the saber at his waist in three hands, blocking the passage ahead.

Seeing that we were all stunned in place, Kwaru Wusan said, "I was too careless, and I was almost deceived by you." You say you don't know who the traitor is, why is it that after he says who he is, your expression is not shocked and angry, but frustrated? It means that you already know who he is, and he just said it deliberately so as not to implicate you. Also, the first thing that comes to mind when anyone in distress on the street is to give money or food, and if he is a little more generous, he may help him find a livelihood and make himself fruant, and he has never seen anyone give his house to others. I thought about it all the way, and I felt that something was wrong, and when I came back, you were really going to run away. Catch me. ”

The left and right officers stepped forward together and controlled the four of us.

I shouted, "What are you doing here? If you treat us like this, the Wa royal family will not let you Huandou clan go." Let us go. Get us back to the ground. ”

"Don't be nervous. After the prime minister sends someone to contact the Wa royal family, he will naturally send you back. However, now that my Huandou clan is in a period of change, let you move freely in Chongshan City, I am afraid that you will be used by others again, or I am wronged and wronged, find a place to let you stay for a few days. Wait for the prime minister to decide the overall situation, and then let you out. I promise, you won't lose a hair. ”

After speaking, he took us out of the banquet building and came to a corner at the bottom of Chongshan City.

We were ushered into a dark gate, which slammed shut behind us.

Once inside, we were led around the darkness a few times to a hollow in the rock. It is a space with a radius of several hundred meters, and it is a space close to four squares, and there are many caves carved into the cliffs and mountains on all sides, each of which is inlaid with iron fence gates.

We were led to a corner of the quadrangular space and descended a stone staircase, where there was an empty space, also wrapped entirely in rocks. Inside there are rows of iron prisons.

In the ground floor space, we were taken around a few more times before we came to a stone house lined up with a few tables. It is said to be a stone house, but it is actually a small area surrounded by two stone walls.

He walked to the stone house and said to the watchman sitting at the table, "The prime minister asked me to bring a few people from the Wa royal family, you must take good care of them, and you must not let them escape." ”

The guard glanced sideways at Quaru Wusan, and said confidently: "Brother Quaru, you can put a hundred hearts, I am the safest place in the entire heavenly prison, they are just like us Huandou people, they can't fly out if they put on their wings." ”

Kwaru Usan said, "Then I'm relieved. You must remember that you must treat them well, and you must eat and drink short. I see, eat just like you, and don't give food to other prisoners. - By the way, the diet of the Wa royal family is different from ours, so let's have someone bring them food every day. ”

The guard shook his head and said, "Do you want to lock the prisoners in me, or do you want to lock in a few masters?"

Kwaru Wusan smiled and said: "This is arranged by the prime minister, I don't dare to slack off, and you are the same, if there is a mistake, our lives will not be guaranteed." ”

The guard pouted and said, "Okay, okay, remember, Prime Minister, what I want to hear in my ears every day is Prime Minister." ”

Kwaru Usan nervously pushed the guard and said, "Be quiet, don't die." ”

The warden ignored it and waved his hand behind him, and two jailer-looking men stepped forward, took us from the officer, and led us all the way to the deepest part of the prison.

With a few clicks, we were thrown into a cell farthest from the light, which was so dark that we couldn't see clearly, but it felt relatively tidy, and there was no damp and stuffy feeling like an underground cell, on the contrary, a cool breeze was letting in.

I said, "It's not too bad." ”

The sailor snorted and said, "Xiao Yuan, why is your heart so big, you are all in prison, what else is not bad." ”

He Xuanya sighed and said, "You two don't quarrel, you have to think about what to do with the important task tomorrow morning." ”

I whispered: "The guard officer just now seems to be dissatisfied with the old thief in Chonggang, and we can work him." If you have to find a way to lure him over, as long as you can talk to him, there will be a glimmer of hope. ”

"Okay, you guys, just after you entered the prison, you thought about escaping. I'll have to stay for a few days and warm up the floor of this cell. It is not in vain to squat back in the highest standard cell in Chongshan City. A deep, deep voice came from the next cell.

The cell we were in was surrounded by a rock wall on both sides, with a door and a walkway in front of it, and only the left hand side was adjacent to the other cell through an iron fence.

The sound came from our adjacent cell.

"Who's talking over there?" I shouted tentatively.

"There are two poems in the Wa royal family, called: The same is the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet. We're all here to go to jail, and we don't even need to ask who's who. Here, all prisoners. Said from an adjacent cell.

"What did you mean by the highest standard cell in Chongshan City just now? I asked.

"Oh?!You should all be brought here, you must all be people of prominent status, don't you know that the forty-eight cells in this heavenly prison are all specially used to imprison royal nobles and dignitaries. Whose children are you?", he said from an adjacent cell.

Instead of answering his question, I asked, "So, you are also a royal nobleman, or a dignitary?"

"Hahaha, what royal nobles, what dignitaries, in the end, it's all empty. Alas——!" said from an adjacent cell.

I heard the man laugh and sigh at the same time, and it was very strange, especially the long sigh, which was full of sorrow and despair, and asked, "Do you have something on your mind? Why do you sigh so much?"

"Do you really not know why I'm sighing?" he said from an adjacent cell.

I said, "I really don't know." ”

He Xuanya suddenly said: "I don't know if the sigh is related to Takeshita's eyes?"

There was a sound of laughter from the adjacent cell, and the laughter was full of pain and helplessness.

I hurriedly asked He Xuanya, "What is it that Takeshita is gone?"

This time, the sailor was enlightened before me, and he whispered in my ear: "Takeme, the three characters are stacked together, and it is a usurper." Sister Xiaoya borrowed this word to refer to Chonggang's usurpation. ”

He Xuanya then asked: "The light in this prison is dim, and I don't know how old you are, but listening to the voice, it should be an old man." I don't know what crime the old man committed and was detained here. ”

"What sin? Hahaha! I don't have to carry any sin on me. As long as I live, it's sin, and there will be people who will come and can't afford it. But then again, forty years ago, I did commit a terrible sin, a sin that may never be redeemed. ”
