Just bury those thoughts that are difficult to express...
I could hear his cool voice behind me, cutting gold and jade with every word.
"Take her down and put her in a secret cell. Three days later..."
He closed his eyes.
"Lingchi."
In the winter of the fourth year of Fengxiang, the Dacheng cavalry encountered Tiansheng's army in Luo County. During the battle, the empress who had personally conquered the army was captured, and the Cheng army was driven back. Immediately, all Dacheng generals received a handwritten letter from the empress. No one knew what the handwritten letter said. However, the lights in all the military tents were still on that night, and faint sighs could be heard. Then all the troops in the Cheng army shrank. There were vague rumors in the Dacheng Kingdom that the empress had surrendered to Emperor Tiansheng, but no one knew the truth. , there are only vague rumors that Hua Qiong, the handsome fire phoenix girl, after receiving the handwritten letter from the empress, first sighed and said: "It's all fate..." and then said, "You can just look away..." But she didn't know who she was talking about. .
Immediately, this female commander did something that shocked the world. She led the army to surrender to the Tiansheng court. The whole world was in disbelief, and the people were shocked. There were also countless slanderous scholars who wrote poems and essays to ridicule them. All the praises for the number one female general have turned into verbal attacks. However, this handsome female general who always follows her heart laughed and sneered, saying: "If she wants to fight, I will fight. If she wants to surrender, I will surrender." , why do you care so much?"
The changes in the affairs of the handsome lady have affected the hearts of the world, but the imperial capital has fallen into a small chaos. The most secretive news spread from the mouths of senior officials of the imperial court, with incomprehensible fear and uneasiness.
"I heard that His Majesty's Holy Eucharist is in poor condition..."
"It is said that Empress Dacheng was poisoned that night..."
"Didn't I mean to Ling Chi the Empress tomorrow? That kind of rebellion should have implicated the nine clans, but the nine clans are indeed gone... The Ning family has killed them long ago..."
"Don't worry about the Dacheng Empress or not. Your Majesty has not been in court for a few days. If the news is true..."
"Oops..."
The officials looked over the high wall in surprise. According to legend, the empress was imprisoned in the secret prison of the palace, where Feng's mother and son were originally imprisoned.
Very few people have discovered that behind the high wall, in the shadow of the angle formed by the two houses, there is a shadow that sticks tightly to the wall.
He was so close to the wall, as if he had been born on the wall. The winter wind was biting, the wall was icy cold, and there was a draft, which was bone-chilling. The man's fingers exposed outside the tights had blue knuckles. There was a thin layer of frost, and I don’t know how long it had been there.
A group of guards passed by in the alley below him, unaware of it.
This is the alley at the entrance of the secret prison. It is very narrow. The guards keep walking towards each other. There is almost no gap. Only when the guards change every six hours, there will be a short gap. People with extremely high martial arts can He took the opportunity to sneak in, but the time was very short, only enough to make one action. This person obviously took advantage of the changing of the guard six hours ago to sneak up on the wall and stick there, waiting six hours later, changing the guard and sneaking in again.
In such weather, for six hours, ordinary people would have frozen to death by wearing only thin tights in order to remain inconspicuous, but this man remained silent, and even his breathing was controlled by a faint white air.
There was a commotion below, and the moment came. Taking advantage of the changing of the guard moment, the man fell from the high wall, and passed behind the fence gate in the Jiaojiao Alley like light smoke.
A group of guards came over. The first one was carrying a food box. It seemed that he was here to deliver food. The man hid in the shadow behind the iron gate. When the last person passed by, he silently clung to the door. behind him.
The last person didn't realize anything. After walking for a while, he felt something was wrong. He suddenly looked back and saw only the empty road.
"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?" A guard turned around and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing." The possessed Xiao Zhang shrank his neck and said with a smile, "The cold wind in this hall makes people shivering."
"Why are you so suspicious?" The person in front smiled and said, "I think you were frightened by the people inside."
"That's true." Xiao Zhang touched his head, smiled sheepishly, and said, "That woman is very miserable, she looks scary... Your Majesty is the same, she hates you so much that she can be killed with one knife. , why torture people like this..."
"Shut up! Is this what you said?" the leading guard scolded, and Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he quickly silenced.
The man standing behind him, wearing a stiff mask on his face, had been sticking behind Xiao Zhang like a light smoke. Looking at it from an oblique angle, Xiao Zhang’s shadow was slightly thicker, like two The hands and feet look really weird.
Hearing this conversation, the man's body suddenly paused. After a while, Xiao Zhang became aware again. He turned around again. The empty road made him tremble. He couldn't help but urge the people in front to speed up. The leading man walked down, showed his badge to the guard inside, and the door opened with a creak.
The moment the door was opened, a strong wind suddenly blew up, rolling up the sand and stones on the ground and throwing them into people's eyes. Everyone ouched and rubbed their eyes, blocking the wind, without even noticing. In that gust of wind, there was a lighter wind passing through.
The iron wall of the secret prison is dark and gloomy. There is no skylight. There is only one exit. There is no one guarding inside. It is said that a master was imprisoned in the early years and he kidnapped the prison officer. After the prison officer took the key and escaped, inside the royal secret prison There are no more guards, but endless mechanisms instead.
The designer of this secret prison once boasted that he wanted to walk from this secret prison to his destination without disturbing anything - unless he didn't have long legs, so even when delivering meals, he had to open the door. Finally, the food box is placed on a depression in the ground, the weight is placed on it, and the mechanism is activated. The food box will be transported to the door of the cell, and the prisoner can take it by himself.
At this moment, this man floated in.
In the dark, it’s like a shadow without legs.
He seemed to be walking on the stairs, but there was still a finger-width gap between the soles of his feet and the ground.
It is possible for ordinary masters to pass by without touching the ground, but the distance is limited and they cannot walk slowly. Walking in the air like leisurely walking is no longer the category of Qinggong, but requires strong internal strength to support it.
The man seemed to be walking very easily, but if you look closely, you can see something strange. His hands and feet seemed a little stiff, the knuckles of the fingers exposed outside his sleeves were blue, and his body was shaking slightly.
