Chapter 25 A pot of wine and a secret book
Zongren Mansion, inside the prison.
The fire is dim and the corridor is dark.
The door opened, the cold wind blew in, swaying the firelight, and the surrounding darkness was torn apart, turning into a beast with teeth and claws.
There is blood on the ground.
There is a corpse lying here, with its neck almost cut off, blood flowing out, and even splattering on the wall.
Due to the rebellion caused by the rebels, all the imperial troops responsible for guarding the prison were dispatched.
There was only one eunuch left in the prison who was responsible for keeping watch.
And this one and only one was killed.
The blood stains spread everywhere, like scattered red flowers, floating without a trace.
There is only one place where the blood stains are continuous and moving forward.
It was deep inside the prison, and the dots of blood on the floor tiles were like road signs, guiding people forward.
The passage is narrow and long, with only a small firelight flickering in the deepest part.
There is the end of the passage, and there is only one cell.
Prince Ning, who is causing a great headache to His Majesty and the imperial court, is imprisoned here.
In the past, he was the only one here, guarding the dim light of the fire.
But today, he is no longer alone.
Because in front of him stood a man in black.
The man was holding a knife in his hand, and the blood groove on the knife was still bleeding.
Tick-tock, tick-tock... The blood kept falling to the ground, echoing the crackling sound of the torches on the wall.
Prince Ning's hands and feet were locked with iron chains, and there were iron hooks on his shoulders that pierced through the bones of the lute, sealing his martial arts.
He raised his head, his unkempt appearance could not conceal his majestic aura.
"Xiuchundao, are you from Jinyiwei?"
The man hid his face in the darkness so that others could not see his expression clearly.
He nodded and said: "The villain lives in Jinyiwei Xiaoqi."
"Xiaoqi? You have reached the official position of the seventh rank, but you are only the fourth rank."
Prince Ning nodded again: "It's not surprising, Jin Yiwei, anyone can enter."
He stared at the man again, turned his head and asked: "It's just that the royal guards are serving as guards. Now there is a chaos outside, and you don't lead people to suppress it. Why are you here?"
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "So you came here specifically to kill me."
The man smiled, and his laughter was exciting.
"As expected of Prince Ning, I am just here to see you off."
Prince Ning was stunned, and immediately heaved a long sigh: "It seems that my royal brother really doesn't want me to live."
There was a chaos in the palace tonight. Instead of suppressing it quickly, he thought of sending someone to kill him right away?
Also, as long as you die, isn’t it just a matter of casual conversation about whose hands you die?
When the time comes, all we need to do is punish a few people in the sect’s mansion, and everyone will be happy.
The man outside the cell door seemed very excited, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.
Prince Ning stared at him, but he didn't feel any nervousness at all. Instead, he laughed a few more times.
"What are you laughing at?"
The man seemed aroused by Prince Ning's laughter and asked in a deep voice.
"I am just thinking that my brother is too sloppy in his work."
He didn't wait for the person to ask questions before asking: "What's your last name?"
The man was stunned and said: "My surname is Liu."
"Liu...who are you, Commander Liu Qianti of the Jinyi Guards?"
King Ning continued to ask.
"It's my uncle."
The man raised his chin, looking proud.
"That's it."
Prince Ning raised his hand and rubbed his chin, pulling the chain and making a clanging sound.
"You are just a fourth-level martial artist. No matter how short of a man the Jin Yiwei is, you can always send someone more powerful here to be safe.
Liu Qianti is the adopted son of He Huan. I heard that he was recently removed from his official position, thrown into prison, and made a scapegoat.
It should be for this reason that you can get this credit. Is it He Huan who asked you to come?"
The man clasped his fists upward and said, "Thanks to Mr. He for your great responsibility, you entrust me with such important matters."
King Ning shook his head and sighed: "What happened to the country and the dynasty that it turned into a private plan?"
"You should be killed for making arrogant comments about national affairs!"
The man stepped out of the darkness, cut off the locks with a knife, and was about to chop off Prince Ning's head.
Suddenly, a sigh sounded in the darkness.
Another muffled sound was heard, and someone hit the flag officer on the back of the neck with his hand, knocking him unconscious.
King Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at the other person walking out of the darkness.
"You still took action, which surprised me."
This man wears a mask on his face and has no clothes on his upper body, except for a fur cloak, which makes him look extremely weird.
"Can you sense me?"
The man turned his head and asked.
"Your Hidden Qi Kung Fu is indeed powerful, but you don't know the wonders of the third level, so you showed your weakness."
Prince Ning looked up at him and asked with a smile: "Who are you?"
The man raised his hand, holding two bottles of wine.
Prince Ning's eyes became very strange and he suddenly laughed loudly.
"It turns out to be your boy."
"Most of the hostility in adults has been eliminated by prison, otherwise villains would not dare to come."
The man said with a smile.
He is Zhao Sheng who took the risk to come here!
I thought I would try my luck, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
He used the Naxi method, but the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi only wanted to kill Prince Ning and didn't notice him at all.
Knowing that this man's martial arts skills were not as good as his own, Zhao Sheng dared to knock him out and come out to meet Prince Ning.
Listening to the conversation between the two people just now, it is a great achievement to come here to kill Prince Ning this time. It cannot be easily obtained. In a short time, no one will come again.
Zhao Sheng swung the wine pot and asked with a smile: "The prince's promise back then is still valid?"
Prince Ning stopped laughing and nodded: "That's natural."
Zhao Sheng opened a pot of wine and threw it to Prince Ning.
Prince Ning took it, uncorked the wine, took it to his nose and smelled it vigorously, and praised: "It turned out to be a thirty-year-old Huadiao. I rarely drink this kind of wine in Ningzhou!"
Zhao Sheng shrugged and said nothing.
Anyway, it’s not him who paid for it, it’s the one who took advantage of it... No, he already has no head.
Prince Ning carried the wine flask and drank it all in one gulp. It was so refreshing.
He wiped his lips and asked with a smile: "I'll read it, you listen."
Zhao Sheng quickly took out the paper and started taking notes.
Prince Ning was stunned for a moment, then slowly read out a secret book.
This secret book is called the Trapped Dragon Palm. Like the Dragon Ringing Finger, it requires a large amount of infuriating energy and can indeed reduce the hidden diseases of the Star Absorbing Technique.
Prince Ning didn’t lie to him either.
Zhao Sheng swung another pot of wine in his hand and asked: "One pot of wine and one secret book. I brought two pots of wine today."
"Greedy boy!"
Prince Ning smiled and cursed, then stretched out his hand towards Zhao Sheng.
"To this king."
Zhao Sheng quickly threw it away, and Prince Ning drank it all in one gulp.
"I have a great time tonight. I will be generous and reward you with a local secret book!"
Zhao Sheng's eyes widened and he was overjoyed.
This time I just posted it!
The secret book this time is called Fudoyama Technique, which is different from the others just by the name.
A match for the Thunder and Fury Art.
Zhao Sheng put away the copied secret book and was about to leave, but then remembered what Xiao Lizi said before.
Chapter completed!
