Chapter 573: Li Dai Taozhu (I)
After Cao Yi and the others left, the stone prison fell silent again. Chen Aokun sat in a corner of the cell, thinking about it, and still didn't know how to get out of here.
He is not a person who easily admits defeat, but in the face of such a situation, he can't help but feel a little helpless and desperate. Seeing that it was almost noon, the two cell bosses would bring in food on time when it was time for dinner.
The door of the stone prison opened with a "bang", and as soon as Chen Ao looked up, he saw a white-shirted bearded girl coming in, who was a maid beside Lan Yuyan. When she entered, she stood to the side, followed by a group of young women, each carrying a silver plate of dishes.
The maid whispered something out the door. The two cell bosses slipped in and took the key to open the door. The group of women rushed into the cell and filled the table with dishes in their hands.
Chen Ao watched them do this in amazement, and couldn't help but be a little dazed. The maid said in Chinese, "Lord Chen, this is the lunch that the Holy Maiden has prepared for you. The saint said, you are not convicted yet, you should be treated as you deserve!"
Chen Ao smiled bitterly and got up to thank him. The maid suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Lord Chen, the Holy Maiden is worried that you will be abused by them, so she came up with this solution. Do you have anything you want me to bring to the Holy Maiden?"
Chen Ao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, with Lan Yuyan's current strength, I'm afraid he can only send food to himself. He was silent for a moment and sighed, "You go back and tell her, don't act rashly!"
The maid nodded, and turned around to beckon the ladies to serve Chen Ao for dinner. Chen Aocheng ate a hearty meal in fear, and the girls packed up their cups and plates and left the cell again. The cell door closed again, and the room fell silent again.
Chen Ao leaned against the wall and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The relationship between himself and Lan Yuyan is very strange, at the beginning they were opponents of the same fire, deceitful and intriguing, and even wanted to put the other party to death. Later, the two escaped from Hulu County together, were captured and returned to Persia, and the suspicions gradually disappeared along the way, and they became friends. Later, he rescued her again, and even became the guest of the saint because of this.
However, there is not much emotional communication between the two. Due to Lan Yuyan's special identity, every time the two meet, they are sneaky, for fear that others will find out. A bearded girl like Lan Yuyan is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and every time they meet, it is a fierce cloud and rain. After that, they should be separated in a hurry so as not to be discovered. In this way, the two are much less entangled, and even when they actually have the most intimate relationship, they still haven't figured out the relationship between the two.
Chen Ao was thinking about his thoughts when he vaguely heard the sound of "tuk tuk", like the sound of broken stone hitting the stone wall. Chen Ao glanced strangely at the wall behind him, and when he looked up, he saw a dark shadow coming out of the iron window.
Chen Ao was startled, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a person's head. He turned against the light and couldn't see the man's facial features clearly. I saw the man poking his head out and looking inside. But because of the bars, you can't see the situation in the cell at all.
Chen Ao couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"
The man was surprised and delighted, and exclaimed, "Chen Ao!
Chen Ao was taken aback, he had already recognized the person's voice, it was actually Long Qingping! Seeing Long Qingping in this situation was really happier than seeing his closest relatives. Chen Ao almost burst into tears, and almost fell to his knees in excitement, thanking the ethereal god of light.
Chen Ao jumped on the bed, looked out of the window, and finally saw Long Qingping clearly. I saw that she was wearing a headscarf that Hu Nu was used to wearing, covering most of her face, and she could still see the color of wind and frost.
Chen Ao tried his best to restrain the impulse in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice, "Little Dragon girl, are you ...... How did you find here?"
Long Qingping "shh You wait a minute, I'll go back and tell Sister Zhao!"
Chen Ao was stunned: "Zhao Ling is also here?"
Long Qingping didn't answer him, and had already disappeared from the window. Chen Aozheng was full of doubts, and lowered his voice and called twice, but no one answered him.
Chen Ao was in a trance, and he really didn't know if what he saw Long Qingping just now was his hallucination. I waited for a long time, and suddenly I heard someone talking outside. Listen to the voice of the maid who brought her food. She seemed to be arguing with the person in charge of guarding the cell, and she could hear it in a tough tone.
It wasn't long before the gates of the stone prison were opened again. Sure enough, the maid walked in with a few more women. However, this time they didn't have plates in their hands, so they were sure that they weren't here to deliver food to Chen Ao.
Chen Ao was thinking about Long Qingping, and when he saw this, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
The maid did not speak, but waited for the two cell bosses who had opened the door to come out, and then carefully stepped aside. The women behind him raised their heads and called out almost at the same time: "Chen Ao!"
Chen Ao was taken aback, as if he was dreaming. Several of his wives were actually wearing the same white shirts and standing in front of him. Their eyes were red, surprised and delighted, and the tired look on their faces had not faded.
Chen Ao stretched out his hand across the railing, hugged Zhao Ling and Xuan Ning, and asked, "You guys...... Why are you all here?"
In the back, Yunlu, Liang Xiaoya and Xiao Shuixian also cried with joy. A few girls were chattering, eager to tell Chen Ao all the words in their stomachs.
Zhao Ling turned his head and shouted, "Be quiet! Don't let anyone outside hear it!"
The women tried their best to restrain themselves, and their weeping turned into whimpering. Chen Ao excitedly held Zhao Ling's hands and said, "Okay Ling'er, tell me quickly, how did you find here?"
Zhao Ling wiped his tears, and then said slowly: "There was chaos in the city that day, you go to find Lan Yuyan, and we will stay at home to take care of Xuanning." But as soon as dawn dawned, we found out that you had disappeared in the turmoil. Later, when we questioned the Persians, we learned that they were Zoroastrians. Knowing that you are likely to fall into the hands of cult believers, we are eager to chase you immediately. But Xuan Ning was seriously injured and could not be left unattended. Hulu County has experienced turmoil and people are panicking, we have no choice but to stay for the time being, I just hope that you are auspicious and don't have ......an accident."
When she said this, she seemed to remember the hardships at that time, and she couldn't help choking up, and she couldn't go on. Xuan Ning continued: "Later, when I recovered from my injuries, we prepared to come to Persia to find you. But at the time we didn't know anything about this place, we really didn't have a clue. Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, a group of merchants was going to come to the Western Regions to do business. We took Feng Hu, Qin Lang and others and followed the caravan. ”
Zhao Ling said again: "The caravan stops and goes, and it has to stay in each place for a few days, and the journey is slow. Fortunately, at this time, we found out that Cao Yi actually led a group of people to the Western Regions, and I calculated that his arrival must have something to do with you!"
