Shen Gong Ji

For the next few days, the little emperor and I were kept under house arrest in a hotel, almost completely isolated from the outside world. We were free to enter and leave the rooms in the hotel, but the guards were extremely strict. Someone is watching.The little emperor was still as unworried as before, but one day Zhu Ran suddenly appeared, and I was taken to another room by the soldiers, and I was finally allowed to step out of the room after being surrounded for two full hours.I have no idea what the little emperor and Zhu Ran talked about during those two hours. When I saw the little emperor again, he played the guqin in the room as usual, and raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw me coming in.

Too many doubts.There was a weird atmosphere between the little emperor and Zhu Ran, and everything was wrong.Moreover, Zhu Ran was so persistent in asking me to be his "side room" before, but this time when I saw him again, he didn't even look at me a few times, and he didn't even say a word to me in person, even though it was a big deal for me. It's a good thing, but it doesn't always feel right.

I promised him not to ask him, so I had no choice but to close my mouth tightly, pick up a paintbrush and smear on the paper casually to vent my anxiety.But I know it's not enough to just wait like this, I have to make plans early.It's not that I don't believe in the little emperor, it's just that at this point, if I don't have any bargaining chips in my hand, it feels like I'm hanging on the edge of a knife.

That day Zhu Ran sent someone to ask us if there was anything we needed to add, so I secretly told that person that I had lost a flute that was very important to me when I was in Beichuan, and that I was from the Wuxie tribe. If possible, I hope to find it back.Then after waiting for about six or seven days, the flute was actually delivered to me.The flute body has added many signs of wear and looks dilapidated.

Duan Xihe said that as long as one end of the flute is pulled out, there will be a puff of smoke, accompanied by a strange fragrance.No matter how far away he can find me.But looking at the flute now, I'm really not sure if it's broken inside.And even if it wasn't broken, how could he smell it because it's thousands of miles away from Beichuan?

But at the moment I have no other way out, and it never hurts to try.

I ran to the hut at night, twisted the two ends of the flute, and suddenly felt a click, as if some mechanism on one side was loosened, and then suddenly a thick smoke gushed out from far away, and it was gone in a short time. I was surrounded by it, and it gradually dissipated after about 5 minutes. The strange thing is that the fragrance is very light, a bit like sandalwood, but not so strong, such a light smell, I am afraid that it will dissipate when the wind blows.

So I took the flute back into my arms in despair, without any hope.

The next day, Zhu Ran suddenly appeared, but there was a frightening haze in those black and white eyes.He stared at the little emperor coldly, and I could even feel his monstrous anger.

On the other hand, the little emperor was still calm and relaxed, with a bit of indifference on his beautiful face, "Your Highness is here, what's your business?"

"Zhao Yanshu, do you think you can really win?" He suddenly said coldly, with suppressed anger in his tone.

"I never thought of winning you." The little emperor smiled lightly and stood up. In an instant, those eyes that were usually somewhat sly were extremely serious. I have never seen him look like this, sharp as if The sharp sword that was unsheathed suddenly, with an aggressive domineering, "I just know you too well."

Zhu Ran stared at him for a while, then suddenly sneered.Immediately, his eyes suddenly turned to me.

"Zhao Yanshu, don't forget, you also have weaknesses." He suddenly called out "Come on", and soldiers rushed in.I saw him raise his finger and point to me, "Catch him up."

Before I could react, those soldiers rushed towards me and grabbed my arm.I gasped in pain, looked up at the little emperor, but saw his peaceful face.My heart trembled violently, and my whole body became cold all of a sudden.But I didn't resist. I remembered that I promised him to trust him. The more he showed that he cared about me now, the more I became his weakness, and it would only be against us.

His reaction was correct.

At least that's what I tell myself.

I lowered my head and let the two soldiers lock my hands and push out the door.

What I never expected was that what was waiting for me was the disaster of prison.The moment I got out of the car, I was dumbfounded. The high black wall was so thick that it seemed to be crushing my head. The smell of death.

"Where is this place..." I didn't know who I was asking, but soon I heard the people around me answer, "Nanren City, the prison closest to Huadu, is dedicated to detaining recidivists from the court. His Royal Highness has an order, please The son lives here temporarily."

It turned out to be a prison? !Even if I'm a prisoner, I'm still a young master, and you're throwing me here? !

what is going on?What exactly does Zhu Ran want to do?I feel more and more that I have fallen into a bottomless vortex, and I am being pulled deeper and deeper inexplicably.

I couldn't help but want to step back, but was suddenly pushed and staggered, almost falling.The person in front suddenly pulled the chain that bound my hands, and I had no choice but to be dragged forward, stepping into the black gate.A rotten smell that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years rushed towards the face, and the black stuff was wrapped from all directions, so airtight that it was suffocating.

I have been trembling since I stepped here, and after passing through the iron bars one after another, the scene was like going to hell.Countless figures crouching in the darkness are like ghosts, with beast-like eyes shining.What's more, they yelled obscene words, lying on the edge of the iron railing and staring at me as I walked past.Although I have watched several prison-themed movies before, I have already made some preparations in my heart, but I still feel cold all over my body, especially my hands and feet. .

I didn't expect that they would lock me in such a deep place, passing through one iron gate after another, and the darkness and rotten smell spread endlessly inside.The sunlight was completely cut off, and all I could see was the dark walls. Except for the noise of the prisoners yelling at me, a new prisoner, there was only the crackling of the torches.

Finally they opened a cell door and pushed me in.The inside was very small, with only a sleeping berth made of wooden planks covered with a layer of dry straw.The iron gate was locked behind me with a bang, and several soldiers left immediately.There was no torch lighting, and the only light source was an oil lamp hanging on the wall a few meters away. There was no sound in the dark and humid environment. It seemed that I was the only one in this cell.

I was at a loss, so I had to climb onto the bed and sit against the corner.The cold air penetrated the layers of clothing and penetrated into the bone marrow.

Winter is here, I knew I should wear more clothes.

What exactly is Zhu Ran going to do with me?Is he trying to use me to threaten the little emperor?Use me in exchange for his younger brother who is the queen?

But the little emperor is in his hands now, is it necessary to imprison me like this?

I squinted my eyes, but couldn't figure it out.Finally I gave up and fell asleep in a daze.There were many messy scenes in the dream. I saw Wen Feng, Xiang Li, Little Emperor, Du Ruo, and Ouyang Qi. They smiled at me in the dream and said a lot, but I didn’t remember a single word. live.I called out their names, and there was nothing but blue mist, nothing, nothing.

In the prison, I gradually lost the concept of time. The only thing I could use to count the days was the time when the jailer delivered the food.As soon as the three meals are over, I know that the day has passed.I have never felt that time has been so long. It seems that endless years will be sealed between the iron bars and the rotten atmosphere like this, and I will never be able to escape.Gradually, I became a little anxious, lying on the side of the iron fence every day, hoping that someone would come over, tell me what happened outside, and tell me what Zhu Ran was going to do to me.Every time a food delivery person came over, I hurriedly wanted to grab him and ask a few questions, but was pushed away rudely every time.

I almost wonder if the little emperor and Zhu Ran have forgotten me.It seemed like I was the only one left in the world.

It turns out that loneliness can really drive people crazy.

In the end, I was so desperate that I couldn't eat anymore, and I was always groggy for the past two days.In the past few days, the cold feeling has become weaker and weaker, but the hands and feet have become numb, and the whole body is hot and cold.I suspected that I had a fever, so I wanted to ask for some medicine from the food delivery person, but the person who delivered the food didn't even look at me, put down the food and hurried away.I forced myself to eat some, and then I curled up on the plank, trying to keep myself warm by burying as much straw as I could.

There seemed to be something throbbing in the depths of my head, a dull ache all over my body, and a surge of drowsiness.I didn't dare to fall asleep again, for fear that I wouldn't be able to wake up once I fell asleep.

In the drowsiness, it seemed that someone was calling my name and shaking my body.I struggled to open my eyes, but saw a familiar face.Bright eyes, handsome face, but the eyes that were always smiling brightly are now full of shock and worry.

Duan Xihe?He actually found me?

"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang!"

I opened my mouth to answer him, but my voice was so hoarse that I couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"How could it be burned like this! If I come a few days later, you will die."

Dead?Is it that serious?I stared at him blankly, unable to react.

"I have to take you away." He came to help me as he said, and I quickly grabbed his hand, "Little...Little Emperor..."

"Don't worry, he is safe now. Qiguo has his internal response, and he was rescued last night, so I can take advantage of the chaos to come in and rescue you today."

escaped?

That's good……

My tense spirit relaxed, and I couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness anymore.I never knew that a person could completely fall asleep and lose consciousness in a second.

It was only later that I realized that it was not called falling asleep, it was called shock...
