You rascal, stop right there!

Finally, Bai Wan and Ling Shumo finally knew what had happened.

At the beginning, Chen Xingyi was suffering from the poison of "Jade Powder". Luo Wenqi volunteered to find famous doctors and accompany him to all parts of the country.

Perhaps a famous doctor found Xuan Li, but was unable to cure him, which led to his death.

In the end, Luo Wenqi lost all desire to live and became insane.

……

After walking out of the beggar's den, Bai Wan didn't say a word.

Ling Shumo looked at him and said earnestly, "I'm sorry for what happened before, but you can't eat those Guanyin earthen buns. You'll die if you eat too much."

However, the beggars and civilians in the city all ate this kind of steamed buns, and even if they were moldy, there were still a lot of people rushing to eat them.

"I'm such a jerk, the King of Hell wouldn't dare take me in!"

Bai Wan calmly took off the mask on her face, and after finishing, she drank the medicine, and she seemed not to feel the bitterness.

He even refused to eat the white sugar cake placed next to him.

When this person is quiet, he is like another person.

Ling Shumo keenly sensed his state of mind: "It's unwise to rescue someone directly from the cell. It would be even more difficult to rescue someone in public at the Archery Feast!"

"We don't know whether Chen Xingyi is alive or dead. There might be someone in the Imperial Guard who looks similar. We must be prepared to mourn."

Bai Wan paused slightly, with mixed feelings.

People can only sigh.

"You know what I'm thinking and what I want to do."

He tightened his arms and quietly felt the peace and warmth that the other person brought him.

The previous tiredness and anxiety dissipated slightly.

Ling Shumo suddenly said with some emotion: "Brotherhood, friendship. For them! No matter how difficult it is, we have to try!"

Bai Wan exclaimed in admiration, "What a brotherly love and friendship! But aren't we a little overestimating our own capabilities?"

"There's nothing wrong with an ant trying to shake a tree; success or failure is the only thing that matters."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder you dared to rebel... you're the bravest one!"

"..."

No more words were said, only the word friendship.

Also,

One of the most precious things in the world.

However, trying to make things difficult for Xuanli is like an ant trying to shake a tree.

……

Control the prison.

When the people in Xingling heard these three words, they were all frightened and turned pale and retreated away.

Most of the prisoners previously held there have been sent away, and now almost all of them are prisoners of war from the former Daying Dynasty and randomly captured Daqing people.

Today, Xingling is even more chaotic than the capital of Daying back then!

The conditions in Daqing's prisons were relatively good. Each cell's toilet was cleaned by a dedicated person, and prisoners were provided with meals. Prisoners were rarely detained for more than a year before being executed or released.

But this Xuanli...

Men and women were detained together in cells without toilets, windows or ventilation.

There were only ten people in one room.

A man was forced to live soberly without alcohol.

However, that raised little finger was really eye-catching in the entire cell.

"Na..."

"Hungry……"

He was so hungry that he couldn't utter a third word.

Rotate your feet slightly and apply more force.

Meanwhile, someone outside the door said, "It's time to distribute food!"

The jailer carried a wooden bucket and threw a few broken bowls at the door of each cell. He stirred the food casually with a wooden spoon and smashed it like feeding a dog.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The sound kept coming.

It was pitch black...

They are all local barnyard grass, wild garlic or dog blood mixed with bran.

This rough food does not suit the taste of Daqing people. It tastes like straw and is impossible to swallow.

Luo Wenqi looked at it for a while, and just as he hesitated for a moment, all the food was eaten.

Snapped!

A spoonful of blackened vegetables was poured directly into his bowl.

She clearly didn't say a word to him, and her face couldn't even be seen clearly. Her clothes moved, and her exposed arm was grabbed by Luo Wenqi.

"Form... Form and meaning..."

The voice was a little shrill.

The little man shook his hand off directly, clearly acting like a jailer.

Luo Wenqi was stunned for a moment, bit his lip, and stretched out his hand: "Hey, you..."

The other person clearly didn't say anything and was clearly only half a foot away.

The person on the other side did not respond to him.

Leaving behind a back, as if he had never been there.

Finally, his hands dropped weakly.

"I...understand..."

How could I not recognize him at such a close distance?

Luo Wenqi's eyes were red as he lowered his head and started eating the food in his hand.

However, because I hadn't eaten properly for so long, the food choked me and made me feel nauseous, and my chest ached.

"Cough cough!"

He vomited and fell to the ground.

A nearby prisoner bravely stepped forward and said, "Hey, is this guy going to choke to death?"

"Someone come! Here..."

Someone made a move to shout.

The pale and skinny man next to him grabbed him and whispered, "What are you yelling about! If he dies here, at least he'll have an intact body, how great!"

"But what if he dies?"

"Then die. How many prisoners here can live long?"

"Yeah, if you die in prison, you'll be thrown directly into the mass grave outside the city. If you go to the archery banquet in a few days, how can you expect your body to be intact?"

……

It was a rare opportunity for prisoners who went to the archery banquet to keep their limbs.

The prisoners died miserably at the banquet, and after death, their bodies were sent to feed pigs and dogs!

Xuanli is not a human being after all.

This statement was recognized by most of the prisoners.

The cell was already stinking because it had no toilet, so the stench of a corpse wouldn't be easily noticed.

Luo Wenqi, who was lying on the ground, was hit hard on the chest, and the food that came out was snatched away by someone.

Those people didn't care about his jealousy and anger at all, and directly dragged him to the corner.

You can see that his face is really not good...

The little finger is really curled up!

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and crows cry in the middle of the night.

An inaudible whimper came from his nose, slowly leaving a thick red mark inside his nose.

He lay there for two days.

The prisoners in the entire cell cooperated smoothly.

"Your Majesty, obey the will of Heaven... The imperial decree declares: Archery Banquet..."

The low voice of reading the imperial edict echoed throughout the Jizhen Prison.

The edict of Emperor Xuanli Jin Xizong was read out at the door of the prison cell.

The jailer and Zhu Yanhong, who was in charge of the prison, knelt upright and received the order with both hands.

Some of the prisoners behind him trembled and shrank back...

His eyes were empty, confused, fearful, and even filled with immense despair...

The minister who read the imperial edict to Zhu Yanhong was Gu Yang, the current imperial preceptor of Xuanli Kingdom.

However, he also has several other identities: the former chief eunuch of Daying Kingdom, the owner of the secret factory, and Chen Xingyi's adoptive father...

That is Eunuch Gu Xiaoyu!

"Master Zhu, I will personally select the prisoners for this archery banquet."

He said so.
