Spring and Autumn GL

63 Feng Ziping

Xi Shi was pushed and shoved by the sergeant into the sky prison. Next door was an old man with white beard and hair and ragged clothes. The old man was sleeping weakly on a tattered straw mat. After a brief glance at the fence, he lowered his head and fell asleep again.Xi Shi looked around and saw that there was only a straw mat on the floor and a toilet in the cell, and nothing else, so she could only sit heavily on the straw mat. Get out from under the straw mat.

"Oh——" Xi Shi yelled in fright, and lifted the straw mat, only to see that there were still a few big cockroaches, one of which was just sitting on her buttocks to death, and the rest were fleeing in a hurry. A fit of nausea.

Xi Shi's heart was beating wildly, but the old man on the side spoke:

"Hey, where is the eldest lady? She was so shocked that she frightened the old man."

Xi Shi hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "I'm sorry, old man, I still look at Haihan when I am disturbed."

The old man chuckled: "It's been so many years, and you're still the first person to talk to me politely."

After finishing speaking, he patted the ground and signaled Xi Shi to sit down and talk.Xi Shi cleaned up the messy straw under her feet, sat down, and looked up at the old man. Although his face was wrinkled and dirty, his eyes were piercing and his temples protruded slightly. .Before she thought about the origin of this person, the old man sighed:

"This is the re-offender zone, and all the heinous people like me are locked up. Miss, you are a woman, what did you do?"

Xi Shi didn't answer him, but asked back: "Old man, I think you have been here for a long time, right?"

The old man smiled: "Think about it for 20 years."

"But the king of Yue pardoned the world a few days ago, didn't he pardon you?"

"Hahaha, I've said it all, this is the recidivist zone, how could I be pardoned?"

"What crime have you committed?"

The old man stroked his beard: "Look, it was the old man who asked you, but now you are the one who asks the old man? Forget it, I can talk to you, so let me talk about it."

"Speaking of which, the old man entered this prison voluntarily. Back then, I was hunted down every day, and I was worried. I wondered if there was any way to avoid this fate. After thinking about it, although the food in this prison was not very good, But at least Anyi, I wanted to live in this prison for a while. So one day, the old man snatched a person's baggage on the spot and ran towards the government, but the officer caught me and opened it. It turned out to be Yuxi. That's how I found out That day when the King of Yue saw the call from Wu State, he wanted to transfer the jade seal to another place, so he sent a small school to pretend to be a civilian to escort the jade seal, but I snatched it. This was really unlucky, they suspected that I was a spy from another country , If you don’t kill me, then lock me up here, year after year, almost forget me.”

Xi Shi was skeptical, always felt that there were too many flaws in the old man's words, and was thinking, the old man suddenly asked:

"Having said so much, what exactly did you commit here?"

"Ha... probably collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

"What kind of enemy did you deal with, and what kind of country did you sell?" He asked the bottom line.

"It has something to do with the remaining party of Wu State..." Xi Shi said lightly.

The old man suddenly shivered, and said seriously: "Yu Dang? What is Yu Dang? Could it be that Wu Guo..."

Xi Shi smiled lightly: "Yes, the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed."

"Really?!" The old man suddenly looked surprised and delighted.

Xi Shi nodded suspiciously.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I can finally go out!" The old man laughed.

"This..." Xi Shi froze for a moment.

"Let me tell you the truth." The old man said with a smile, "I am from the state of Wu. I snatched the jade seal on purpose and sat in the prison on purpose. I just waited for the state of Wu to be destroyed one day so that I could come out! Haha, How can these broken wooden sticks trap me? Girl, thank you, do you want me to take you with me?"

Xi Shi's complexion twitched a little, she always felt that the old man in front of her was talking crazy, and she didn't know if what she said was true or not, so she could only perfunctory:

"I don't have the power to restrain a chicken, so I'm not dragging you down!"

The old man sniffed: "It's okay, don't rush this matter for a while, anyway, I'm used to living here, why don't you tell the old man how this country of Wu was destroyed?"

Xi Shi was most afraid of mentioning this matter, but looking at the earnest eyes of the old man in front of her, she couldn't bear to make up nonsense, thinking that anyway, the matter has come to this point, and she is not afraid of anyone listening, but before that, she wants to find out the details of the old man, Don't be the one sent by Goujian to test her.

So he asked: "Little girl Shi Yiguang, dare to ask the old man, are you..."

"The old man's name is Yang Ze, and he's just a reckless man."

After hearing this, Xi Shi always felt that the name was familiar. After thinking for a while, her eyes suddenly opened wide: "You...you are Feng Ziping!"

The old man was also taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled wryly: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that at your age, you would know the name Feng Ziping. What exactly do you do?"

Xishi breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that it was just a coincidence, this Feng Ziping has always been elusive, no one knows where he is, Fu Chai has made great efforts to hunt him down across the country, who would have thought that he would come to the prison of Yue State, and Live for 20 years?

In front of Feng Ziping, Xi Shi also felt relieved. Of course, this veteran assassin leader in the Wu Kingdom has the ability to take her out, so she also told all the previous events.Xi Shi has never told anyone the cause and effect in such detail, after this narration, there is a sense of enlightenment, and most of the depression in her heart is reduced.

However, after Gou Jian bestowed the dead language, he immediately confiscated Fan Li's family property, and when he was done, he remembered that there was still a Xi Shi in the prison.With Goujian's cunning, he had already thought that Xi Shi's Sunrise Palace might be looking for Azhi, and with Azhi's injury, it is impossible that no one took care of it. It is very likely that there are really a few remnants of the Wu Kingdom in Kuaiji City.So he had a plan, changed into a clean robe, and prepared to go to the dungeon for questioning.

Leading the two guards to the dungeon, Gou Jian found that Xi Shi was talking happily with the old man next to him, and there was no trace of panic or sadness on his face.He couldn't help feeling a little suffocated, walked up a few steps, and stood at the cell door with his hands crossed.

When Xi Shi saw Gou Jian coming, she immediately lost her smile and returned to her indifferent face:

"What is your Majesty's business?"

That Feng Ziping looked at the two of them, and walked towards another corner of the cell very interestingly.

"Shi Yiguang, the widow asked you for the last time, who did you meet when you left the palace in the middle of the night?"

Xi Shi remained silent.

"For the sake of your meritorious service in defeating Wu, this widow is giving you a chance. To tell you the truth, I know exactly who you met when you left the palace that day, but I didn't catch anyone except that Ah Zhi. If you can rein in the precipice and confess the truth, and focus on Yue, I will ignore the previous suspicions and make you a noble concubine of the Yue Kingdom, in charge of all affairs in the harem. If you still insist on going your own way, don’t blame the widow for putting state affairs first and killing you as an example to others!”

Xi Shi's eyes were a little confused, she moved her throat, but did not speak.But he thought in his heart: Hearing Goujian's words, did he catch Azhi?true or false?

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Your Majesty said that he captured Ah Zhi, but there is evidence, but empty words have no evidence. How can I believe you?"

Goujian looked arrogant: "Then Azhi is seriously injured, and she is hiding in the winery in Southwest Lane. What's wrong with you? Believe it or not, you don't have to deal with the widow's business. The widow only needs a word from you, saying that you still want to turn back!"

Xishi sneered and said, "You haven't even touched a single hair of Ah Zhi, otherwise you wouldn't have said it here with just one mouth. Haha, how could Yiguang have such a good demeanor to let the king condescend to come here and lie to me? Really! What a big joke! Gou Jian, I would rather die than live now, and beheading me if you have the ability is better than me suffering endlessly here!"

Gou Jian gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "You are only an abandoned son now, why should you talk to the widow in such a tone."

"It depends on the life of the whole village in Zhuluo Village!"

"The widow said that it was just a stopgap measure. After a while, they will build temples and erect monuments..."

Xishi scolded angrily, and interrupted: "Don't say any more pleasant words, human life is human life, no matter how many monuments and temples you build, you will not be able to repay this life debt! One day, you will reap the fruits of your own consequences and die a terrible death!"

Gou Jian was furious, took two steps back, pointed at Xi Shi's nose and yelled: "You are so ungrateful, no matter, the widow will give you another three days, if you don't repent within three days, you will be thrown into the Qiantang River." Feed the fish!"

After finishing speaking, he asked someone to put a pair of black iron shackles on Xi Shi's feet, and then walked away.

"I said, why are you bothering? What's wrong with being an empress? You have to fight against him. If you fight against him again, the lives of the whole village will never come back!" After Gou Jian left, Feng Ziping Posted it again.

Xi Shi smiled wryly: "I have done too many spineless things in my life, and I am tired of it. I also want to taste what it is like to be spineless."

"Little baby, you are really messing around. By the way, the old man is going to escape tonight."

Xi Shi's eyes lit up.

"Look, you girl clearly wants to live, so why are you so stubborn? Well, let's say something soft and take it easy, the old man will take you out tonight. How are you doing now, with such a heavy pair of shackles on your feet? , you can’t go even if you walk, what should you do? Could it be that the old man is carrying you behind his back?”

Xi Shi also became worried when she heard the words, thinking that she was just trying to talk quickly and delayed herself.

"How about this, do you have any friends outside, the old man will help you send a letter, let them find someone to save you-but old man, you can go away from now on, don't expect the old man to save you, hahaha!"

Xi Shi was a little sad, she really couldn't think of anyone but Azhi who would dare to save her.But she must not tell Ah Zhi the news, otherwise she will definitely put herself in danger, and it will be difficult for her to escape under the siege.

That Feng Ziping saw that Xi Shi was silent, he was a little anxious:

"I said, little baby, is there any? If there is a delay, the old man will not be able to leave!"

Xi Shi frowned and shook her head lightly: "Thank you very much. My friends outside are all dead."

Feng Ziping sighed, looked at Xi Shi, and smiled:

"Look, you are going to die too. The old man is penniless. I see how much the jewelry on your body is worth. How about giving it to the old man? It's not in vain for us to get acquainted. Don't worry, the old man will come when the time comes." Collect your body!"

Xi Shi sighed, and said that misfortunes never come singly, let alone a person who is going to die, and a money extortion will come, anyway, if you don't live or die, you can just give it!So she took off the bracelet and necklace and handed it to Feng Ziping, shook her head and lay down on the straw mat. She was really tired, and now she just wanted to sleep well.But as soon as she closed her eyes, A Zhi appeared in her mind again, and what Gou Jian said just now made her tremble with fear.She knew in her heart that although A Zhi was not caught, her whereabouts must have been exposed, so where is she now?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were too quiet. He turned his head and saw that Feng Ziping had disappeared without a trace, and the two wooden fences were shattered into powder.
