Chapter 301: The Imprisoned
So, the two talked all night until the middle of the night, and then they left.
After the second day, after Chen Ziang had arranged the crowd, he left the cloth shop, but went straight to Naliufu, intending to check the situation first and see if he could find an opportunity to enter it.
But as soon as he saw the heavily guarded soldiers, he sighed to himself.
"This Liumengyan is really afraid of death, and he actually made this place so strict?"
Although he knew that there was no hope, Chen Ziang still did not give up, quietly hid to the side, and secretly observed the Liufu.
Sure enough, at noon, Na Liumengyan walked out of the mansion, and he was followed by two civil officials, according to the information described by Guan Tong earlier, these two civil officials were Zhao Mengchuan and Xie Changyuan.
"Remember, you must take good care of that fellow, and never let him escape, you know? You must know that this man is the name of the Heavenly Khan himself, and if he is gone, I will not spare your life. ”
"Honorable Order!"
Zhao Mengchuan and Xie Changyuan lowered their heads and looked scared.
If it is not very clear, and the frightened looks of these two people, Chen Ziang is confused in his heart: "Find out." Who is this guy talking about?" Although he was full of doubts, he saw the other party walking towards this side, and hurriedly hid in the alley to avoid being discovered by the other party.
After Na Liumengyan returned to the house, Chen Ziang came out again, and looking at the two people who left in the distance, he immediately decided to follow him and see where the two planned to go.
In this way, Chen Ziang followed behind the two, but he came all the way to the outside of the cell.
"Heh, who is locked up here, so strict?"
Chen Ziang just glanced at it and was shocked.
Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, it is not enough to describe the strictness here, that is, in the hands of those jailers, all of them are holding guns in their hands, and they look solemn. This appearance made Chen Ziang even more curious, what kind of characters were locked up in that cell?
Curious, he immediately chose to sneak attack one of the jailers, pulled off his clothes, put them on his body, and swaggered into it.
Following his previous memories, Chen Ziang immediately found the cell where Xie Changyuan and Zhao Mengchuan were, and listened to the movements in the cell clearly under the pretext of changing guards.
"I said Song Rui. The Song Dynasty is already late, and Empress Dowager Xie has surrendered, what do you insist on? In my opinion, it is better to surrender, and it will save you from suffering such a sin. ”
Chen Ziang heard it very clearly, it was Xie Changyuan's voice, and he also had a general understanding of the person in prison in his heart: "It turned out to be Wen Tianxiang? I didn't expect him to be captured? I thought he was dead a long time ago." ”
In the list given to him by Xiao Feng, this Wen Tianxiang is the first to be listed, and it is specially marked for the need to find it, so Chen Ziang is also quite familiar with it.
Seeing that the target had been discovered so quickly, Chen Ziang immediately concentrated and began to listen carefully to the movements in the cell.

"Hahaha......"
Laughing wildly, although Wen Tianxiang was fixed to the iron pillar by iron chains, he still looked at Xie Changyuan with contempt.
Xie Changyuan trembled a little by this laughter, and cursed in a low voice: "Song Rui, what are you laughing at? I'm helping you intercede, but you don't know what to do? It's really in vain that I have said so many good things for you before the Heavenly Khan." ”
"It's been a waste of your thoughts?hehe! Xie Shujing, are you qualified to say that?" Wen Tianxiang shook his head, not hiding his disdain at all.
Xie Changyuan was shocked in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "Song Rui, what do you mean by this?"
"Huh. Have you forgotten Hu Yong? He also once believed in you, thinking that he could cooperate with him to exterminate the Yuan army. But you joined the Tartars and left him to die a tragic death. As his best friend, how do you treat him?" Wen Tianxiang opened his mouth to scold, and when he talked about Tartar, he glared at Zhao Mengchuan sideways, and said: "An ungrateful person like you, please refuse." ”
Told by this, Xie Changyuan's face turned red, obviously because he was talking about the pain point.
"I said, this guy is a hard guy, and he won't surrender. You're talking in vain. Zhao Mengchuan looked like he knew this.
"Humph!"
At this moment, Wen Tianxiang sneered suddenly, his laughter made Zhao Mengchuan feel frightened, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?"
"What am I laughing at? Of course I laugh at you for being stupid and ignorant, and that you should be a father to a thief. Wen Tianxiang shook his head, looked at Zhao Mengchuan with a sigh, and said: "Zhao Mengchuan, you are also the prince of Zhao and Song, but now you are under the command of the Tartars, have you forgotten that this Jiangshan was once surnamed Zhao." What is the difference between your deeds and those who are disobedient?"
"You!"
Zhao Mengchuan was furious, and immediately scolded: "Have you forgotten? You are now in my hands!"
"So what?"
Wen Tianxiang still raised his head high, always so unruly.
"Good. Since you want to experience it, let you taste the torture. ”
Zhao Mengchuan was annoyed, and he also knew about this matter, especially taboo for others to mention it, and now that Wen Tianxiang said something, where can he accept it, even if he asked the jailer next to him to hand over the braids, he planned to teach Wen Tianxiang a lesson.
After a few clicks, Wen Tianxiang added a few scars to his body, but he always gritted his teeth and did not open his mouth.
Wen Tianxiang did this, but aroused Zhao Mengchuan's anger, the movements in his hands did not stagnate, but became more and more ruthless, after dozens of whips, even if Wen Tianxiang was iron-clad, he was beaten and lost his eyes, and there was no breath of breath.
Seeing Wen Tianxiang like this, Xie Changyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't fight again." If we kill him, what will we do later? Don't forget, the Khan himself said that day that he would summon this man. ”
"Okay. I'll just spare you your life. ”
Zhao Mengchuan gave up, and after letting the jailer take off the whip, he left the cell with Xie Changyuan.
After walking out of the cell, Xie Changyuan turned his head and said to Chen Ziang: "Remember, feed him some rice and water later, don't let him starve to death, you know?"
"The little one understands. ”
Chen Zi bowed down and bowed, then went to bring rice porridge and walked into the cell.
At this moment, Wen Tianxiang also woke up, he saw Chen Ziang walking in, and thought it was the two people from before, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing here? Have you forgotten? I will definitely not surrender." ”
"Alas!"
Chen Ziang sighed, put down the rice porridge in his hand, and then untied Wen Tianxiang from the iron pillar, and helped him lie on the bed covered with straw: "My lord." No matter how persistent you are, wouldn't it be a waste of time to be trapped here all the time?" brought the rice porridge again, and saw that Wen Tianxiang showed a little resistance, and said: "In my opinion, it is better for you to take care of your body first."
"You are?"
Wen Tianxiang was a little surprised, and glanced at Chen Ziang sideways, with confusion in his eyes.
He has long been familiar with the jailers here, all of them are cruel and violent, greedy for money, and it is too rare for Chen Ziang to help.
"Huh. I'm just an ordinary person, nothing. I just think that God has the virtue of a good life, and there must be some meaning for him to let us live here. Wouldn't it be a pity if he died like this?" Chen Ziang smiled.
Wen Tianxiang suddenly showed sadness, and said with a wry smile: "So what? Lin'an was occupied by the Yuan army, and the Queen Mother surrendered, and it was already like this, what hope is there? Now, I only hope that it is better to die like this, than to be insulted by those people." ”
At the beginning, he once represented the Song Dynasty to sink into the Yuan army to sue for peace, and this time it was equivalent to entering the end of the world, and the whole person was imprisoned, and has been imprisoned until now.
And in this cell, through the trivial words of the jailer, he also learned about what happened in the outside world, Lin'an was occupied, the Queen Mother surrendered, and a series of things had already hit Wen Tianxiang all over his body, and he didn't know how to persevere, like Liumengyan who threw himself into the Yuan army's account, not to mention what he wanted, and he could only be locked up in this cell, and continue to insist on his small and fragile beliefs.
"Alas, but there is no endless road, maybe if you stick to it, you can still see hope, isn't it?"
Chen Ziang encouraged, but his eyes flickered slightly, but he saw that the jailer outside the door was a little impatient, and even prepared to go into the cell to check the movement, so he immediately stood up and greeted him.
"What are you doing in there, so long?" the man asked.
Chen Ziang replied: "It's nothing, it's just that Wen Tianxiang was a little seriously injured, so it took some more time." After all, the adults have said that they can't let him die like this, can they?"
"Okay, just you have to be careful not to be in contact with that guy for too long, you know?" the man warned.
Chen Ziang replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll notice." Then he took out a jade pendant from his bosom and said, "By the way, I just got this thing from that guy, it looks quite valuable, why don't you change him to buy wine, how about it?"
"Hey. I didn't expect you to have such a hand, when will you teach me?" the man quickly smiled.
Located in the cell, Wen Tianxiang listened to the sound outside, and also noticed that the jade pendant he was wearing was missing.
He smiled bitterly, but he remembered the man's face in his mind, and suddenly wondered: "What is the origin of this guy? Why did he approach me?" Completely out of instinct, Wen Tianxiang felt that there were some secrets hidden in that person, otherwise he wouldn't suddenly say those inconsistencies to him, after all, since he was locked up here, he hadn't seen such a person for a long time.
You must know that all the scholars and doctors who were locked up like him also succumbed to the coercion and temptation, and he was the only one left, still holding on in this cell.
"Perhaps, I should stick to it as he said, and maybe there will be a turnaround?"
