I just like the Prime Minister

This corner of the "golden house" is not quite similar to the overall style of the nouveau riche. With the help of the weak candlelight, there are a lot of debris and dust scattered on the ground, some of which have obviously been here for some time, but Some were new, with a freshly peeling damp feel.

Yeluzhen chased the traces spreading out of the broken soil to the corner of the wall, and was blocked—only when he looked up, he found that there was an ingeniously placed cabinet in the corner of the wall, which was as tall as a person, and it was painted with gold paint very blindingly. Feel hot eyes at a glance.

However, Jiang Xizhu feels that it is very unreasonable for this cabinet to appear here—it is true. In a place where prisoners are held, even if the prisoner is a relative of the emperor, he is still a down-and-out phoenix at this time. Is it true that there is also a chicken coop that needs to be cleaned up? place?Even if the master of the prison is more humane, what kind of softness does the prisoner have?Feather?

Yeluzhen obviously thought of this too, and reached out and knocked on the wall close to the cabinet with great experience, but was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and knocked again in disbelief, obviously getting the same answer.

His eyebrows, which obviously belonged to a foreign race, were clearly frowned. He took two steps back, pressed both hands on the sides of the cabinet, and with a force, moved it out of a width that could allow one person to pass through. Jiang Xizhu followed behind him, After he finished moving, he immediately took a torch and went up to look. Under the light of the fire, the corner of the wall full of debris was no different from the wall elsewhere.

Yeluzhen naturally saw it too, and now his expression completely changed.

Daoist Zixu was confused by Yelvzhen's actions: "What is this... It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. You asked us to stay here just to look at the wall?"

Yeluzhen kept silent, thoughtful.

Jiang Xizhu was not as restless and careless as Daoist Zixu, he didn't see any clues on the wall, so he adjusted the position of the torch, and went to look at the blinding cabinet again.

The front of the cabinet is painted with golden light, but it is as useless as a peacock spreading its tail-the front is full of flowers, and the back is a butt, with bare logs that are obviously not good wood materials, and they don’t even bother to apply a layer of varnish , even if he is so naked, it feels like a carpenter is lazy and rough.

But I also thank the carpenter for being lazy, which made Jiang Xizhu discover something unusual-the color of one person's height and one person's width on the bad wooden board is much darker than the surrounding area, as if it was exposed to the not-so-dry air for a long time. This dark mark is not spacious, a figure like Mr. Wang of the Ministry of War can be completely covered with a full shadow. As for Jiang Xizhu's thin figure, if he wants to fill such a gap, he bows his head and reluctantly, as if It can still be done.

This is obviously a trace of a passage.

Jiang Xizhu didn't doubt this, but...

He looked at the bare wall again, it seemed to fit perfectly, where did the passage go?

Jiang Xizhu looked at the emperor who was not acting rashly not far away, then at Yeluzhen who was thinking, and returned the question.

"Master Yelu." He called out, pointing out the different shades of color to Yeluzhen, "Did you just look for this?"

Yeluzhen was called back to God by his words, took the torch from his hand, looked along the place he pointed, and obviously found the same problem as Jiang Xizhu.

"It really is." He frowned, "This is no longer the room we came in."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

"This is the 'choir' secret technique. It was originally just a legend, and it's the first time I've seen it. It is said that the 'choir' will arrange a cage that cannot be walked out in each temporary stronghold. This cage It is specially used to detain traitors so as to attract people related to them to come to the rescue. If the rescue is not detected, the people who come to the rescue will be killed without entering this material, and if the rescuer successfully enters this prison... You will never be able to get out, because all the entrances will become dead ends, and all the secret passages will be blocked without knowing it... Those who enter will starve to death inside." He hesitated, as if remembering He said something that he didn't want to recall, so he looked serious, "It is said that the Khitan Empress Dowager Xiao once used this method to eradicate the four major ministers who did not agree with him to govern, and they found the bones of no less than a hundred people in that unobstructed courtyard... ...The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, this cage is famous in Khitan for its horror, and it is called the 'blood prison'."

No one expected that there would be such a frightening legend in this golden upstart-like house, as absurd as the bragging hooligan with his gold teeth in the market suddenly turned into a cold-blooded killer who killed without blinking an eye.

When people are dying, they are no different from wild animals. Jiang Xizhu tried to imagine the scene, and suddenly felt horrified. No wonder Yeluzhen was vague, and he didn't seem to want to recall.

"Scaremongering." It was Li Chengzuo who heard the words and laughed, "Really, according to you, we are now in this cage that we can't get out of? It's a joke, Jing Qing has been away for so long, can you see that he has come back?"

Yeluzhen didn't have time to care about Li Chengzuo's title of neither yin nor yang at this time, and just shook his head when he heard the words: "It is precisely because he has gone out that we can't go out—"Blood Prison" ends with death, but with life In the beginning, it only left a chance for one person to escape, except for this person, everyone else was regarded as a sacrifice by default by the 'blood prison'... If you don't believe me, don't leave this room, go to Look at those guards who were tied up in the corridor by you just now, they are probably already..."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Master Zixu rushed to the door at an incredible speed.

The scene of the prison corridor was the same as when they came - pitch black, gloomy, with a chill that could not be infected by midsummer, revealing a kind of deep resentment from the dead under the nine fountains in this summer night of insects and frogs.

The only thing is, the human-shaped candied haws skewers that Taoist Zixu made with his own hands disappeared, and in the distance, the weapon rack that tripped Jiang Xizhu just now disappeared without a trace before they noticed it. They disappeared, as if the mess just now was just a dream of them.

"Is this so?" Daoist Zixu stared, and didn't dare to take a step forward, he backed away a few times without courage, almost fell backwards, but was supported by Xu Sanniang, and then tremblingly said , "... gone, all gone."

This time, even Jiang Xizhu couldn't believe it.

After hearing this, Li Chengzuo's expression darkened unprecedentedly. He went to the door to look around, and then walked around the room again. Empty passages thrown away.

His internal strength was extremely deep, and the force of his hands was accurate and fast. The gravel was originally not solid, but after being urged by his internal force, it seemed to be scattered out of thin air into debris of different sizes, gushing out like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

At the same time, the corridor in the originally silent darkness was like a ferocious beast awakened by the breath of blood. Somehow, it sensed the movement of those dregs coming from all directions, and brazenly launched his resistance—a dense rain of arrows one after another However, the corridor that was originally shrouded in darkness seemed to have passed through countless crow feathers covering the sky and the sun.

Li Chengzuo's face finally changed - if someone had rashly entered and exited this door just now, he would have been shot into a spiked hedgehog by the rain of arrows at this moment, and he promised not to lose his head.

Everyone in the house was a little dazed by the incident, but the dense arrows still partly missed and swayed in vain on the wooden frame at the entrance—it was not an incredible dream just now, but is real.

Li Chengzuo silently glanced at the originally funny but now purgatory-like prison, slowly looked away, glanced at Ji Weizhen on the couch made of iron plates, and suddenly remembered something very long ago.

During those years when Concubine Lin was in power, Li Chengzuo as the crown prince and the empress in the middle palace had a hard time, but after all, the empress is not someone who just sits and waits to die. gasp.

Li Chengzuo still remembers that it was the year when Lao Qi was just born. According to the rules in the palace, the queen or a concubine with status can call the female family members of her natal family to serve in the palace until the prince or princess is full moon.

When the Empress Dowager gave birth to the Seventh Prince, she received unprecedented attention from the late Emperor.Thinking about it now, at that time, the late emperor had already begun to vaguely realize the threat of Concubine Lin, but he didn't say it directly. It was just that he was no longer immersed in the nostalgia for the Empress Yuan as he was in the early years, and therefore avoided the seven-seventh difference in appearance with the Empress Yuan. The successor, who was [-]% similar, no longer dared to face his only son with the Empress Yuan because of guilt - the current Prince Rui was born under such circumstances.

Li Chengzuo remembers that he didn't have much expectation for this newborn when he was young.

Because of King Qi's existence, his perception of his brothers was once very distorted, which is understandable, no matter who has been tortured by a domineering brother, he will think that the world is as black as crows.It was also because of King Qi that Li Chengzuo had never been close to other princes since he was a child.

This situation changed only after Prince Rui was born, but no one knew how Li Chengzuo learned such things as "brotherhood" without a teacher overnight.

Prince Rui Li Chengsi was born at the end of spring, when Li Chengzuo was allowed to visit his mother who was just confinement and his newborn brother, it was already the beginning of summer, and it was far away from the current season.

The former Emperor Yuan Empress and the current Empress Dowager are siblings, and their biological mother is the original wife of the Duke of Qin, but this one is known as the "Beauty Deng'er" and died long ago when their sisters were young.

The continuation of the old Qin Guogong is also a lady of the family, but the family has declined a few generations ago. Marrying the old Qin Guogong has the meaning of helping the family.

That year, the one who entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager to give birth to Prince Rui was the Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji.

Li Chengzuo had been studying in the Chongwen Museum that year, and when he came back from listening to the Taifu's teaching, he was walking outside the Queen's Kunning Palace. Hearing that there seemed to be someone inside, the tone seemed to be saying goodbye, but the person did not leave immediately, but said a lot of vague words.

"The queen, please consider what your wife said. That person has been gone for many years, and you have done your best to raise his infant son. You have done your best to be a sister." The voice coaxed, "It's disrespectful, then A chair can only be seated by one person. You will naturally be able to keep this ignorant child safe and sound during your lifetime, but there will always be a day when you can no longer keep it... This person is very deep in the city, and he knows how to hide his power at a young age, you understand Can he understand him for a while, but for the rest of his life?"

The queen's voice was a little abrupt: "What do you mean?"

The voice was lowered a little: "Queen calm down, my wife just thinks...the worry of my nephew Ji Weizhen is unreasonable, why not..."

Then the queen interrupted sharply: "Don't mention this matter again!"

There was no sound in there.

Li Chengzuo didn't stay any longer, and pushed open the palace gate of Kunning Palace as if nothing had happened, pretending that he had just come running quickly, and smiled and told the Queen how he missed him for a few days. A somewhat astonished face, and another not-so-familiar astonished face.

That was the first time he heard Ji Weizhen's name.

The author has something to say: It's a bit late today, I didn't make it before 12 o'clock, I hope it will be earlier tomorrow.
