Chapter 165

There is a pond in front of the palace, surrounded by a lot of green moss, Duanyue pushed Yi Qingchen to the front of the palace, and suddenly two "hundred ghosts" jumped out of the bushes beside him.

Duanyue said to him, "I'm here to find Mr. Jiang."

One of the ghosts babbled in an opera tone, "The master is not here."

Duanyue looked at Yi Qingchen in embarrassment, "My lord, what should I do?"

Yi Qingchen thought for a while, and asked, "Can't the other guardians go in and out of the prison where the prisoners are held?"

Duanyue was a little apprehensive, "My lord...why do you want to go so hard?"

Yi Qingchen knew that Duanyue was afraid that he would take the opportunity to make trouble, but right now Yi Qingchen really had more than enough energy, and Duanyue's worries were really superfluous, but in order to dispel Duanyue's worries, Yi Qingchen still suggested, " When I enter the prison, you will tie up my mouth and leave only a pair of eyes, so that I can't move my hands and feet, and I can't speak with my mouth, so you don't have to worry about it, right?"

Duanyue thought for a long time, but couldn't find anything to be picky about, so she just nodded.

The cage for the prisoners is located in the north of the Zizai Palace, hidden in a rocky mountain. Duanyue and Yi Qingchen, led by Baigui, walked through a lush garden, and circled around a boulder-lined rockery for a long time. After a cup of tea, he finally found the entrance to the prison.

Hundred ghosts unlocked the Yanjia lock on the door, took off the iron chain, guarded the outside, and let the two of them in.

The prison was wet and dark, and every time the wheel of the wheelchair turned, there would be the sound of running water. Duanyue walked side by side and said, "Master Jiang was told to repair it, but he didn't do it for a long time, and now it's done." Like this."

Yi Qingchen said thoughtfully, "Although it's wet, it's still warm. It's better than the cold Lingshan disciple's tomb."

Broken Moon fell silent.

Yi Qingchen said these words deliberately to Duanyue, in order to test the current Duanyue's feelings towards Lingshan, seeing Duanyue's reaction now, Yi Qingchen already has a rough idea in his mind.Seeing that the cage where Nan Xingjun was imprisoned was getting closer, he said to Duanyue, "Tie up my mouth."

Duanyue took a kerchief from her waist, and handed it to Yi Qingchen's mouth, "Master, hold it in your mouth, don't let it float down."

Yi Qingchen bit it with his teeth, and kept scanning the cages on both sides. Because the light was not very good, he couldn't see exactly how many people were inside, but if it could be illuminated by the fire light from a distance, a cage could roughly Twelve or three people were counted, some were unfamiliar, some were familiar, but none of them were particularly acquainted.

When he was disappointed, he glanced at a prison from the corner of the eye, and the snow-white hair suddenly came into his eyes, still with that gentle and faint smile, still with that unforgettable face, Yi Qingchen was shocked for a moment , opened her lips slightly, and Sipa floated into the muddy water aside, Duanyue leaned over to pick up Sipa, and asked Yi Qingchen suspiciously, "Master?"

Yi Qingchen looked there again, but couldn't see anything.

Duanyue looked at Yi Qingchen's expression, took out a fire pocket from his waist, and walked a little closer to the cage, trying to illuminate the faces of the people in the cage for Yi Qingchen, but as soon as he got close, someone Stretched out his hand from inside, grabbed Duanyue's clothes and pulled her into the gap of the cage.

Duanyue struggled, the flame fell to the ground and went out in an instant, and the people in the cage roared, "Demon girl, let us out quickly!"

"Demon girl, kill her!"

"Even if the young master is going to die, I still have to hold her back together!"

Yi Qingchen wanted to rush over to save people, but found that she couldn't move at all. Duanyue could have saved herself, but she was attacked so suddenly. When she tried to react again, her hands and feet were already trapped in the cage. catch.

The gap in the cage is so small, no matter how thin Duanyue is, she is still a grown woman, and it is impossible to squeeze through, but the person in the cage desperately wants to pull her into it, and after a while, Duanyue's painful wailing is heard , "Hand, hand is about to break..." Looking at Yi Qingchen with a begging look, he suddenly realized that Yi Qingchen couldn't help at all, so he hurriedly called out for help, "Come on! Come on people!"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and the black silk and satin bloomed in the narrow space. Five or six people wailed in unison, their severed arms were still tightly holding Duanyue's hand, and there were two positive poles. Irregularly placed on Duanyue's waist and crotch, Duanyue ran forward a few steps, and hurriedly picked off the severed hands on her body.

The bloody silk was fluttering back, Yi Qingchen looked over, and saw Jiang Jiuqu leaning against the wall at the entrance of the dungeon, covering his mouth and laughing, "Is Miss Duanyue injured?"

Duanyue bowed to Jiang Jiuqu, "Thank you Mr. Jiang for making a move."

Jiang Jiuqu walked over with strides, the silk that dragged the ground brushed past his severed hand, turned around gracefully, supported Yi Qingchen to stand still, put his lips next to Yi Qingchen's ears, and said with a grin, "But Mr. Broken Moon girl in the past? The slave's most hated man to lie..."

Yi Qingchen cried out for being wronged in his heart, and Duanyue hurriedly clarified for Yi Qingchen, "I made my own decision, and it's not about Mr. Yi's business."

Just now Jiang Jiuqu straightened up and walked to the cage. For a while, the people who had gathered near the fence shrank into the darkness, and they couldn't even hear the wailing voices from the severed hands. Jiang Jiuqu smiled for a moment , said softly, "If you don't hand over those who lost their hands, you will receive the punishment together..."

Throwing the silk and satin, wrapped around a torch for lighting, and pulled it back into his hands. Seeing this, the people in the cage soon had internal strife, but no one gave an explanation for it. Jiang Jiuqu picked out his ears boredly, The little finger took a breath, and with a light throw of his right hand, he threw the torch directly on the ground in the prison.

The fire of the torch was stronger than the fire of the fire, and the tongue of the fire quickly dried the damp thatch around. The flame grew bigger, reflecting countless frightened faces, and suddenly someone rushed out to put out the fire. Jiu Qu turned his back to look without even looking, and quietly threw the satin, directly piercing the man's chest, allowing the man to fall to the ground and turn into fertilizer for the fire.

In this way, no one really dared to approach the torch any more, but desperately huddled in the cage, calling for help, and even knelt down to beg Jiang Jiuqu. Jiang Jiuqu listened to the howling of those ants to survive, and the more he listened, the more excited he became. In the end, it was a belly laugh upside down.

Yi Qingchen couldn't find the white figure in the firelight, and was wondering if he might have been dazzled by seeing it earlier, when he saw a young girl in the crowd, Yi Qingchen was a little shocked, There should be no children of this age?So he asked everyone, "Who is that little girl?"

Everyone said that they didn't know each other, some people recognized Yi Qingchen's identity because of this, and begged for Yi Qingchen desperately, and some stronger men realized that this child was Yi Qingchen's weakness, so they deliberately took that child The little girl brought it out and pushed it into the flames again and again, Yi Qingchen said angrily, "Stop!"

Jiang Jiuqu's laughter gradually stopped, and Duanyue frowned, "Did you also arrest the children from Langzhi Village?"

Jiang Jiuqu murmured, "I don't remember ever catching a child..." Then, with a "tsk", he threw out the silk impatiently and killed the man who pushed the little girl straight away. Walked forward in two steps, opened the door of the cage, lifted the little girl out, and threw it into Yi Qingchen's arms.

Yi Qingchen was already in pain all over his body, but after being attacked like this, the wound that had healed a little split open again, making him grin his teeth in pain, Jiang Jiuqu just covered his mouth and smiled, "I didn't do it on purpose."

The little girl was crying all the time, but Yi Qingchen wanted to cry more than she did. Duanyue held the little girl in her arms and coaxed her for a long time, but the crying still didn't weaken. Jiang Jiuqu was upset when he heard it, and hurriedly turned and ran away , Duanyue coaxed the little girl for a while, and then the little girl gradually regained her momentum and fell asleep slowly.

Yi Qingchen looked at the growing flames in the cage, and reminded Duanyue, "If they all burn to death, there will be trouble, right?"

Duanyue looked at the scene in the cage, and only gently put the little girl back into Yi Qingchen's arms, then circled behind Yi Qingchen, pushed the wheelchair back the same way, and said in a very indifferent tone, "Which ones are worthy of being made into corpses?" , Which are wastes that don’t need to be left behind, Mr. Jiang can make his own judgment.”

Yi Qingchen felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard the screams coming from the prison behind him. Looking back, he saw a figure twisting and curling up in the sea of ​​flames, rushing against the prison door one after another, and finally merged with the prison door One.The flames dispelled the darkness in the surrounding cages. Those who were lucky enough not to be imprisoned in this cage all looked desperate. Some people threw themselves on the fence and kept stretching out their hands towards the sea of ​​flames, as if they were calling for a certain man. name.

Yi Qingchen couldn't bear to look at him, so he raised his eyes to look at Duanyue, Duanyue just stared at the road ahead, and when he noticed Yi Qingchen's gaze, he lowered his head and smiled at him, "If you want to intercede for them, my lord, then There is no need to speak."

The pleading words were stuck in his throat, Yi Qingchen was silent for a moment, and struggled, "Is there really no room left?"

Duanyue didn't answer, but instead asked Yi Qingchen, "My lord, have you found the person you're looking for?" Yi Qingchen shook his head, Duanyue sighed, "That's right...it's a pity. …”

The two left the prison and walked out of the stone forest. When the breeze blew, the black silk and satin suddenly fell on Yi Qingchen's face. On the top platform, the clothes and long hair are hanging down, the eyes are closed, the mask is at hand, and there is no usual insolent smile on the face, so it looks like the empress who is sleeping in the imperial tomb , Gorgeous and majestic.

Yi Qingchen couldn't understand why Jiang Jiuqu was lying here, looked at Duanyue suspiciously, and Duanyue was also a little puzzled, "Young Master Jiang, what are you doing lying here?"

Jiang Jiuqu didn't open his eyes, but simply replied, "Rest."

Duanyue frowned, "Why didn't you go back to the palace?" Jiang Jiuqu didn't answer, but Duanyue noticed that the former's outer clothes were wet, so he asked, "You were lying here all night last night?"

Jiang Jiuqu still didn't answer, Yi Qingchen also noticed that the water stains on Jiang Jiuqu's body were definitely not to the extent that he could be contaminated in the dungeon, it should have been lying here all night, covered with dew.Yi Qingchen thought about it for a while, and tentatively said, "Actually, you don't have to be like this. It's not a solution to stalemate like this, why don't you let me persuade him?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Jiuqu opened his left eye, looked at Yi Qingchen for a moment, and asked lightly, "Do you want to be kind to me?" It was me, not Nujia, Yi Qingchen noticed Jiang Jiuqu's claim and tone There was a moment of surprise, and I felt that I had subconsciously regarded Jiang Jiuqu as a woman, forgetting that he was a man, so I pondered for a moment, making Jiang Jiuqu mistakenly think that I really want to Be kind to him.

Jiang Jiuqu sneered, rolled a few times on the spot, and rolled to the edge of the stone. With one hand drooping, he leaned over and stared at Yi Qingchen, and said with a smile, "He is now in the palace of my slave... "

On the way to Zizai Palace, Yi Qingchen thought about Jiang Zhige silently in his heart. At first he didn't dare to assert that Jiang Zhige would be arrested, but felt that if Jiang Jiuqu was in charge of burning the camp, he would definitely not He would allow Jiang Zhige to escape, that's why he suggested to Duanyue to go to the prison to see.

When he didn't find an acquaintance's face in the cage, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart, but when he met Jiang Jiuqu and noticed the abnormal behavior of the latter, he knew that most likely he and Jiang Zhige couldn't get rid of dry cleaning, and only tried After asking, he didn't want to find out the truth.

Jiang Jiuqu not only arrested him, but also locked him in his palace.

If Jiang Zhige's previous temper was followed and he was required to face Jiang Jiuqu day and night, it would be better to kill him...

But after Jiangling's soul-changing incident, didn't Jiang Zhige's attitude towards Jiang Jiuqu improve?

Following Jiang Jiuqu to the Palace of Freedom, Duanyue specially entrusted the ghosts to take the sleeping little girl to the Palace of Lihen, and handed it over to Yeluo to take care of her. Jiang Jiuqu wandered slowly to the Zizai Palace.

Pushing open the gate of the palace, one can see that the furnishings are very gorgeous, there are about a hundred screens, and each screen is painted with the content of the excerpts of the world. In addition to some murals drawn on the stone walls, there are also many kinds of paintings hanging on the stone walls. Strange masks, including those of animals, ghosts, and immortals...

Being in it, one has the illusion of straying into Taoyuan Township.

Jiang Jiuqu led the two of them around the main hall, passing through a screen with a story of a teenager slaughtering a ghost, and turning into a dark corridor.

There are no windows or candles in this corridor, and it is extremely dark. There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are locked. Different stories are drawn on each door. Jiang Jiuqu stopped in one of them. In front of the fan, Yi Qingchen noticed that the painting on the door was a half-open, bright red amaryllis, and the soil at the root of the amaryllis had just withered leaves buried in it.

The flower blooms for 1000 years, the flower falls for 1000 years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet. This is the truest portrayal of this flower.Yi Qingchen doesn't understand what this painting is trying to express. In his memory, the excerpts in the world like to use the flower language of this flower, but they are almost all the same love and love, very vulgar.

Just as Jiang Jiuqu opened the door for Yi Qingchen, a porcelain bowl flew out and hit the wall, shattering into seven or eight petals.Jiang Jiuqu stared at the bowl thoughtfully for a moment, then stepped aside, as if he didn't intend to go in, Duanyue pushed Yi Qingchen into the room.

The room was darker than the outside, and Yi Qingchen was afraid that Jiang Zhige would mistake him for Jiang Jiuqu and throw knives and stones at him. Now that his hands and feet were broken, he would definitely not be able to escape, so As soon as he entered the room, he asked, "Brother Jiang? I'm Qingchen, are you here?"

"Qingchen?" Not long after, Jiang Zhige followed the sound and walked up to Yi Qingchen. Yi Qingchen found that Jiang Zhige didn't have any scars all over his body, except for some rips on his clothes, only a little scrape on his waist, and he was also injured. The man was wrapped in gauze vaguely, and he was in good spirits, and he spoke with confidence, much better than himself.

Jiang Zhige seemed to have noticed Yi Qingchen's injury, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Yi, why are you here? What is the wound on your body?" Yi Qingchen explained the ins and outs to Jiang Zhige, After hearing this, Jiang Zhige clenched his fists and said bitterly, "We've all been tricked."
