Chapter 98: Be Low-key
Ximending woke up slowly, feeling his head mist, his mouth dry, and his brows frowned. He raised his hand to press his temple, but found that his arms were out of control. He suddenly woke up and opened his eyes.
It was pitch black all around, but it couldn't help but be "fire eyes" from Ximen, but it was not affected when you looked at it.
This was actually a dark and damp stone chamber. Apart from the closed iron door, the cold walls around it were airtight, and the room was empty, so Ximending lay on the ground.
After seeing the surrounding situation clearly, Ximending also found that he was tied up in various ways, his whole body, arms and legs were almost wrapped into rice dumplings. The ones that tied him were thick beef tendon ropes, and his wrists and ankles were tied with four iron chains as thick as arms. The other end of the chain was deeply penetrated into the stone wall, as if it had merged into the stone wall.
Ximending immediately responded that she was still plotted by the little witch and caught by her. This is a prison in the Duwei Mansion.
He first focused his ears and listened, and found that there was no sound within a hundred meters. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised: Could this stone chamber be deep underground? It's okay if you can't hear the voices of people, why can't you hear the sound of wind blowing plants?
The official Ximen really guessed it right. This stone chamber was built under a pile of rockery, dozens of meters deep underground.
However, he was not caught by Qin Xiaowan, but was locked up here by the prince.
The prince really didn't expect that he had just recovered from his injuries. He could be said to be the one he hated most in the world, so he came to his door. He was still drunk and had no sense of awakening. He could do it himself.
Of course, it was obvious that he was unrestrained to cut off his head with one knife. The prince had to torture him slowly, so that he could not survive or die.
And all this must be done quietly. Who made him the special agent of Lao Huan 007? If he leaked the news, the prince would have done his best. Maybe... his life would not be guaranteed.
so, thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince would look at him differently, Comrade Chang Youli, who was highly rewarded, was disappointed, but was completely disappointed... Yes, he was killed by the Crown Prince.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. If you are not careful, you will cause death. The officialdom has always been so cruel. Regarding this, Chang Chen, who is the fourth-rank official, is still a little bit tender and has not yet deeply realized the sinisterness of the officialdom.
In order to take the opportunity to hold the prince's thigh, this girl brought Ximending into the palace, so she naturally left Ma Ping and others cleared her. Even Jiang Zebi did not tell her. Ma Ping took advantage of her own safety and took it easy to protect herself and kept silent. As a result, the King of Hell's underworld had fewer unjust souls.
Zhu Cixuan hasn't returned to the palace for so many days, of course, he rushed to the place where he loved his mother and paid tribute to him at the first time, and reported to the palace, mainly because of the situation of the father, and then complained to the mother and queen (it was difficult to be a prince), and said he felt wronged (in the eyes of the father, I was not as good as a slave), and suffered by the trouble (almost couldn't see my mother). Anyway, the prince was very busy and had no time to come to "serve" Ximen Grand Official.
The long night is long, and Ximen Daguan is alone in the empty room. When he wakes up, he can't fall asleep again.
Of course, this guy tried to struggle first, but his whole body was tied into a rice dumpling, which made him not very hard to use. He had just woken up drunk and his physical strength was not very good. No matter how strong his face was, he was more redder than a monkey's butt. No matter how powerful his magical skills were, it did not work at all for the beef tendon rope that seemed to be soaked in the brine. Instead, the more he struggled, the stronger the binding, and it was deeply tied into the flesh, making him even more difficult for breathing.
In vain, this guy gave up and could only lie there for deep self-reflection: Alas—I was finally caught in the little witch's beauty trap. This girl fell on me softly, looking confused, I fainted, just thinking about eating tofu, relaxing my vigilance... Damn, I guess the enemy is not allowed to kill people... Hum? I remember that the little witch fell asleep in my arms. I grabbed and tried so hard, but she didn't even rebel
As expected, I took the opportunity to steal Mu Linglong. She... When did she catch me? Well... It seems that the little girl Qiu Ju also took me out of the Duwei Mansion. Next... Then... it seems to be on the street... Um... Could it be a dream? No, I remember to say clearly that the girl was touched and hummed, and she was still in my ears. I almost couldn't control her to put her on the spot. Fortunately, it was the little girl Qiu Ju who broke in...
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps gradually approaching interrupted the hard thinking of Ximen Daguanren.
With the sound of unlocking, the iron door was pushed open from outside. Immediately, a lantern with high ignition of candlelight instantly lit up the stone house.
Of course, Ximending quickly pretended to be asleep and squinted his eyes.
Two people came in, carrying lanterns, a young eunuch who was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He looked very handsome and looked like a girl, but there seemed to be endless resentment between his eyebrows. His expression was dull, which made him look like he was bullied but endured humiliation.
The one who followed the little eunuch was naturally the crown prince Zhu Cilang.
At this time, his face was smiling, and his eyes could not stop showing a pride. It was thought that he had successfully deceived Empress Dowager Zhou and even Lao Zhu, and now he could finally let go of the courageous slave who wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Xiao Chunzi, go and wake him up." Zhu Cixuan stood by the door and ordered the eunuch without closing the door.
Xiaochunzi didn't say anything, moved over and kicked Ximending twice. Seeing that he didn't react, he kicked him hard in his chest twice, but he still didn't respond. He paused and quickly took out the candle from the lantern and brought the burning candlelight closer to Ximending's face. I don't know if I wanted to play wax with Ximending or planned to burn him with fire, but now, Ximen Daren couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore: Mom, the little bastard is quite capable.
He opened his eyes wide, which scared Xiaochunzi. However, after Xiaochunzi glanced at him, he stood up, took two steps back, and said calmly: "Go back to the prince, he is awake."
Zhu Cilang had already seen it, so he carefully looked at the rope chains tied to Ximending. After confirming that they were safe, he turned around and closed the iron door, walked forward with a sneer.
"Secret, Investigate, Great, Man..." Zhu Cixuan gritted his teeth word by word, but he said sarcastically, "What does it feel like?"
As soon as I saw Zhu Cilang, Ximending realized that he was not dreaming, but he did leave the Duwei Mansion and walked on the street, but after getting drunk, he was hit by his brother-in-law. This is really a madness and rain, and it is a disaster for people to be mad. I was overly arrogant and was punished. Now, I have become a fish on someone else's chopping board and let him slaughter. No wonder a philosophical master (don't ask which master it is, to be honest, it's the next one) said: Being a person should be low-key, and being low-key is the king!
Although Ximen Daguan Ren was still covered in dust and the stone house was not very bright, he smiled brightly and looked at Zhu Cilang: I hope I beg for mercy to satisfy your dark psychology... Let's go to dream, but I'm still very happy.
"I want you to laugh!"
"I want you to laugh!"
"I want you to laugh!"
...
Seeing Ximending's smile, Zhu Cilang could no longer control the anger in his heart. He raised his foot and stepped on Ximending's face, said something, and then stamped it.
Fortunately, he was wearing soft-soled shoes, and Ximen Daguanren was thick-skinned. Although Zhu Cilang tried his best, he still smiled brightly. He even laughed even happier when he saw Zhu Cilang's angry look.
Zhu Cilang stomped dozens of feet and was already a little panting, but he couldn't do anything to Ximending, so he had to stop and stop doing useless work.
He stretched out his hand and took out a short sword from his arms, pulled it out, and the cold light shone under the candlelight, which seemed to be comparable to Zi Shumin's flying fish sword.
