Volume 3: A Dream of the Divine Capital Chapter 27 (105): Rebellion
Shendu, the underground prison of Nancheng.
It was dim and damp, with only a few permanent lights illuminating the corridor, and most of the prisoners in the cells on either side were glazed over. This is the underground dungeon of the South City, the Black Prison.
In the corridor, two jailers, one fat and one thin, walked in front with lanterns, followed by Yi Cheng and Yi Lianyi and several Seven Star Warriors.
Arriving at an iron gate, the fat jailer turned around and saluted, and then said respectfully, "Two adults, we have arrived." This is the iron door key, and it is inconvenient for us to continue to follow. โ
With that, the fat jailer handed out a copper key. After Yi Cheng reached out and took the key, the two jailers left with lanterns.
The key is inserted into the lock hole and the iron door is opened. Behind the iron door was an ordinary cell, with only a permanent lamp, and in the dim light, a bloodied prisoner was paralyzed in the corner of the wall of the cell.
This prisoner was one of several black-armored warriors who were caught in the dilapidated temple of Far Mountain Town.
Leaving their entourage, Yi Cheng and Liu Qianyi walked into the cell, and the prisoner seemed to sense that someone was coming in, and looked up with great difficulty.
"It's when you say you have something important to say. Yi Cheng half-crouched down and looked into the prisoner's eyes and said.
"No... Wrong, as long as... You put... With me, I'll... Tell... You. The prisoner said weakly. After all, he has been tortured a lot, and even the martial artists of the Secret Realm can't stand it.
Yi Cheng didn't answer immediately, but looked back at Liu Qianyi, only to see that Liu Qianyi's face was not wavering.
"Lord Liu, do you think you can promise him?" asked Yi Cheng.
"The Holy Authority has entrusted you with full authority to handle this matter, and I am only assisting from the sidelines. I-sama is in charge of matters here, and there is no need to ask my opinion. Liu Qianyi still had a calm face and replied.
Yi Cheng turned his head and reached out with one hand to pinch the prisoner's chin, and with the other hand he made a seal.
Secret method ~ Confession seal.
Yincheng, a cyan glimmer connected the foreheads of Yi Cheng and the prisoner, connecting the consciousnesses of the two together. This not only facilitates inquiries and records, but also has a good confidentiality effect.
Liu Qian recalled that when he saw Yi Cheng casting the Tongxin seal, the corners of his mouth twitched, this old fox still played this method.
Half a cup of tea had passed, the cyan glimmer dissipated, Yi Cheng untied the handprint, let go of the hand that was pinching the prisoner's chin by the way, and then got up.
"Lord Liu, let's go out first!" With that, Yi Cheng walked out of the cell.
Seeing Yi Cheng leave like this, Liu Qianyi only frowned slightly, but still followed.
On the ground, outside the gates of the Black Prison.
After handling some trivial things, Liu Qianyi wanted to leave first on the grounds that things were heavy.
Yi Cheng called out to Liu Qianyi when she got into the carriage: "Lord Liu, you don't want to know what the prisoner said?"
"Lord Yi has full authority to deal with it, if you don't say it, you naturally have your reasons. It's not convenient to ask more, if there is nothing else, I will return to the Seven Stars Division. After speaking, Liu Qianyi was about to get into the carriage.
Yi Cheng hurriedly said, "Lord Liu, please wait a minute, I have some private matters to talk to you about." โ
"Private matter?" Liu Qianyi wondered. The intersection between her and Yi Cheng is not deep, what private affairs can she have? But she has a feeling in her heart that the private affairs that Yi Cheng said should have a lot to do with her.
"Yes, privately. I would also like to ask Mr. Liu and I to go to a secluded place to talk. Yi Cheng asked with a smile. Sure enough, with Liu Qianyi's city, she would definitely not refuse.
"You guys go back first. I'll talk to Lady Yi about something. After instructing his subordinates, Liu Qianyi followed Yi Cheng out of the black prison and found a small alley on the street corner.
In the alley, Yi Cheng waved his hand, and the blue qi spread out, laying a layer of soundproof qi wall, and then asked Liu Qianyi in front of him, "Do you want to save your child?"
Yi Cheng's words fell into Liu Qianyi's ears like a thunderclap. After a short period of distraction, Liu Qianyi's figure flashed, and the scarlet energy of his whole body suddenly exploded.
Before Yi Cheng could react, a scarlet hand with haunting scarlet energy grabbed his neck and pushed him to the wall of the alley.
"Say, how do you know?" Liu Qianyi looked at Yi Cheng with cold eyes and asked. Liu Bai is her reverse scale, and she is angry when she touches it.
"It's not a loss to be the deputy commander of the Seven Stars Division, and his strength is outstanding, and he has restrained me with just this hand. I thought I could have a few tricks with you, but it seems that I thought about it too much. Yi Cheng quipped, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense! Tell me, what do you know?" Liu Qianyi's eyes were still cold, there was a hint of chill in his words, and the strength in his hand became heavier.
The strength increased, and Yi Cheng's face showed a trace of pain, but he still smiled and said, "This matter was told to me by His Royal Highness the Second Prince." You also know that I am the second prince's person, and the second prince hopes that you can join forces with him to deal with Gao Yang.
It is impossible to compete with Gao Yang with your own strength, as long as you join forces with us, you will have a chance. โ
"Why should I join forces with you? It is impossible for Gao Yang to kill Bai'er before he ascends the throne. With that, Liu Qianyi let go of his hand, and Yi Cheng slipped off the wall.
"Ahem, what about after ascending the throne, you should know what kind of person Gao Yang is!" Yi Cheng asked. This woman is so ruthless!
"If you don't bother, I will naturally rescue Bai'er before Gao Yang ascends the throne. Liu Qianyi shook his hand, the scarlet energy around him dissipated, turned around and walked out of the alley.
Yi Cheng looked at Liu Qianyi who was leaving, and said with a smile: "It's really the same as His Royal Highness the Second Prince expected, Liu Qianyi will really refuse." No one can believe this woman!
But weakness is weakness, for the sake of the child, our self-reliant Lord Liu still came back to us. โ

Two days later.
Nancheng, Imperial Mansion, Bamboo Courtyard.
In the living room on the first floor of the bamboo courtyard, Yi Lianyi was drinking rice wine while grabbing the sauced beef with her hands and stuffing it into her mouth, without the appearance of an official eunuch at all.
Zhao An sat aside, looked at Yi Lianyi, who was gobbling up, and silently took a sip of tea. This guy hasn't eaten soy sauce beef for two days, how can he be reincarnated like a starving ghost.
When the food was almost finished, Yi Lianyi slowed down, ate in his mouth and said, "Zhao Kongming, you are righteous enough! I just told you yesterday that I wanted to eat something from that wine shop, and you bought it today." โ
"Huh. Zhao An smiled, you almost said it like yesterday, and the implication is about to become clear.
"Having said that, why does your eldest lady like to eat this kind of thing, isn't your chef a good cook?" Zhao An asked.
Yi Lianyi stopped and thought for a while, and then said: "My chef is a famous chef in Jingzhou, and I naturally have nothing to say about my cooking skills, but I just can't get used to eating those elaborate dishes."
How so...... , as if ...... Wellโโ, that's right, if you don't eat, those dishes don't eat, and they don't taste interesting. โ
After listening to Yi Lianyi's reason, Zhao An was speechless for a while, and muttered to himself in a low voice. "It's okay if you don't eat. It seems that you need to look at Mr. Ma! โ
After Yi Lianyi finished eating, Zhao An cleaned up and said to Yi Lianyi before leaving: "This may be the last time you eat sauce beef and drink rice wine during your grounding." I have important things to do next, and it's not convenient for you to buy these. โ
"I see. Hey, if you know better, you will eat less, and the rest will be eaten for the next meal. Yi Lianyi said discouragedly.
"Don't you want to ask me if there's anything important?" Zhao An said.
"Everyone has an emergency. Why do you do this? Just concentrate on your business. Yi Lianyi replied.
For Zhao An, Yi Lianyi's words were quite unexpected. But if you think about it carefully, in fact, Yi Lianyi is a very good person, although he is very arrogant, but he is straightforward and understanding.
"Then I'll go first. With that, Zhao An walked out of the bamboo courtyard.
