? Luoyang, Kyoto, sky prison.

A man with a handsome face was bound by iron chains at this time, his body was covered with whip marks, but these whip marks were not deep, and every whip hit a vital point.The Shadow Guards demonstrate the art of punishment with their unique skills.

Yang Ziya looked at the hidden guard at the side, wishing he could skin and bone him to vent his hatred.

"You don't have to look at me like this. According to the above, this is already the lightest punishment."

Another hidden guard echoed: "That's right, I haven't used such a light punishment for a long time. We all know that you were famous in the world when you were young, so how can you bear this kind of anger. It's your fault." , you shouldn't have offended that person above."

Yang Ziya hated in his heart, but he really wanted to know how he provoked the emperor, and was about to be caught in the prison for no reason and tortured.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Dare to ask the two big brothers, what mistake did I make?"

"So you don't know? Forget it, I'll just act as a kind person and tell you." The secret guard laughed mockingly, "The lady who entered the palace last year from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War is now a holy family. I pity her every day." Wearing a man's jade pendant every day is a big taboo. Now that you are receiving such a light punishment, is the one above you considered kind?"

kindness?Yang Ziya sneered, probably because of the kindness of his father and brother.

Of course he understood what was going on with that jade pendant. For some reason a few years ago, Yang Ziya had a past with that young lady who was not out of the cabinet. Yang Ziya had already made up his mind with Xiao Qi.Who knew that she was also infatuated, and even wore that piece of jade on her body when she entered the palace.

Just as Yang Ziya was recalling these past events, the secret guard spoke again: "I vaguely heard that Mr. Yang has an unusual relationship with Mr. Xiao, the servant of the Ministry of War. I didn't expect that he is very good at dealing with women."

Another hidden guard also teased and said: "I heard that Mr. Xiao has been weak since he was a child. I don't know how Mr. Yang's intercourse is going well. It's a big problem who gets in and who gets off. But I see your waistline, tsk tsk, give it to brother It's not bad for both of them to hurt."

Yang Ziya laughed back angrily, thinking in his heart, you are all wrong, you shouldn't insult me, let alone him.

Thinking of this, he actually made his own meridians go backwards, and started to operate the forbidden technique of Qiyaolou.

The figure flashed, and the two hidden guards didn't know when he broke the iron chain, and he died unexpectedly.

Yang Ziya changed into the clothes of the hidden guards, he was thinking about how to get out, there is still a distance from the exit, there are probably hidden guards, it might be difficult to rush out rashly.

He sneered, picked up the knife at the side and pointed it at the dead guard's face: "I'm afraid this time, you're going to be a real ****."

"Azzie."

Before Yang Ziya had gone far, someone stopped him: "Aren't you there to interrogate Yang Ziya, why did you come out so soon?"

Yang Ziya simply showed some meaningful eyes: "He said that it is enough for him to interrogate alone."

The man couldn't help but clicked twice: "This Xu Li has a big appetite, even Yang Ziya dares to move."

Yang Ziya felt sick in his heart, he pretended to be apologetic and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, some more people came in, but the leader was Tang Zhuhuan, who hurriedly pulled him aside and stood sideways, letting the leader pass by.

Yang Ziya took a sneak peek at the person they brought in, and it turned out to be a woman.Moreover, it looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.

Yang Ziya is very familiar with the road of Xiao Mansion.He walked into Xiao Qi's study with ease, but Xiao Qi was startled by his appearance, frowned and said: "Where have you been these few days?"

Yang Ziya sneered, and told Xiao Qi about why he was arrested and escaped from the sky prison for no reason. Xiao Qi was also a little annoyed when he heard the obscene words of the hidden guard, but said in his mouth: "But having said that, , Mr. Yang is not in vain of his reputation as a romantic son back then."

"Mingshen, those are all things of the past."

"Let's go in the past, but you look like this, if you don't go back to Yang's residence, why come to me?"

Yang Ziya said: "I killed two hidden guards rashly, the emperor must be angry, why don't you take refuge with me in Hangzhou first?"

It's fine for you to take refuge alone, why do you drag me along?Xiao Qi wanted to blurt it out, but he realized that he was just using this as an excuse to lure him to Hangzhou for fun.

Once he thought this way, Xiao Qi also agreed: "However, you have to bring Jing Chen with you. Your skills are greatly damaged now, so it's better to go to Hangzhou to recuperate."

The Jingchen that Xiao Qi was talking about was his bodyguard Chu Jingchen, who was taciturn, but his martial arts were extremely high.Xiao Qi's body was not good when he was young, and he couldn't learn martial arts, so Chu Jingchen was by his side and protected him well.

Yang Ziya showed joy: "So, you agreed. Speaking of which, you should have never met my friend."

The friend he was talking about was Lu Zilou, a well-known wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. This man started his business by making silk, and was more than forty years older than Yang Ziya, so he was a friend who had forgotten his years.

"Just wanted to visit."

So, Xiao Qixiu left a letter on the case, and went to Jiangnan with Yang Ziya.

At the same time, in a carriage in Yongzhou.

Zhao Jichen opened his eyes in a daze, only to feel that his limbs were weak, his hands and feet were bound by ropes, and he couldn't move.He managed to come back to his senses, looked at Yu Jie who seemed to have regained his senses, and asked, "Where are we?"

"On the carriage, but I don't know where I'm going." Yu Jie smiled wryly.He understood that both he and Zhao Jichen had been given Hua Gong San, and the guards who followed them were not as good at martial arts as ordinary people, so they would not be able to escape for a while.

Zhao Jichen took a few glances at the carriage, with a look of disgust: "Where are your guards?"

Yu Jie looked a little sad: "Nine times out of ten, he died in the sandstorm."

Zhao Jichen's expression didn't change at all, and he shouted loudly: "Stop, stop, I want it to be convenient for you."

The carriage stopped not long after, and a guard with an expressionless face signaled Zhao Jichen to get off the carriage, and asked another person to take him there for convenience.

Zhao Jichen snorted disdainfully, followed them out of the car, and Yu Jie noticed that the conversation between these guards was through sign language, that is to say, they should all be dumb.

Who will kidnap the two of them?No matter what Yu Jie thought, he couldn't figure out why.

Zhao Jichen came back not long after, and the carriage continued to drive to that unknown place.Zhao Jichen asked Yu Jie in a low voice: "Did you see any way?"

Yu Jie shook his head: "I guess they are all people who can't speak, and their martial arts are very high. And judging from this direction, we are heading south, so we shouldn't be returning to the capital." He suddenly remembered something, and continued Said: "I just don't know who the lord had any personal grievances with before?"

Zhao Jichen raised his eyebrows and said, "Never."

Yu Jie had a clear expression: "It's impossible to say who is attracted to the prince's beauty and wants to use the prince as a prisoner."

Zhao Jichen snorted coldly, but did not answer.Although it was a verbal tease, Yu Jie had a hunch that the hijacking this time was clearly aimed at him.

Although these guards watched them day and night, they lived in peace along the way.Yu Jie counted the days day by day, and it has been more than a month since the day they woke up. Judging from the scenery along the way, they should have entered the territory of Qingzhou.

For Zhao Jichen, this journey is passable, after all, those guards are very obedient, except for women, he can have whatever he wants.It's just that it's a little annoying to have to face that Yu Jie every day.

One day, the carriage suddenly stopped in front of a mansion for no reason. Seeing the guard's expression, Yu Jie knew that he had arrived at his destination. With a thump in his heart, he pulled Zhao Jichen's sleeve and whispered in his ear, : "It's here, be careful."

The person who came to greet them was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who seemed to be the housekeeper of the mansion from the looks of his clothes.The housekeeper saluted them: "The villain has met the prince and Mr. Yu. The master and his wife are waiting for you in the front hall. Please follow me."

Zhao Jichen said: "Okay, I want to see who dares to kidnap my lord."

After the two of them arrived at the front hall, they saw a man sitting in the main seat, and a graceful and luxurious woman standing beside him.Yu Jie was very puzzled, he didn't know them, so he turned his head to look at Zhao Jichen.

Zhao Jichen's expression was a bit strange, and after a while, he tentatively asked, "Uncle Emperor?"

Yu Jie thumped in his heart, the prince in Qingzhou, isn't that the King of Wu, Zhao Lingcang?He saluted immediately: "Chen Yujie has met King Wu and Princess Wu."

Zhao Lingcang nodded, motioned him to get up, and said to Zhao Jichen: "We only met once many years ago, I didn't expect you to remember me as the emperor's uncle."

Zhao Jichen smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, of course I remember it. It's just that Uncle Huang took so much trouble to invite the two of us to Xijing, what's the point?"

Zhao Lingcang said slowly: "Did the two of you ever know what happened 20 years ago?"

The two looked at each other, and Yu Jie said, "Wu Wang asked about... the change of Renhai?"

"It was the change of Renhai." Zhao Lingcang's eyes shone with a strange look: "In the spring of that year, the late emperor's imperial conquest was captured by the barbarians of Yan State. One month later, the third brother took the place of the late emperor to maintain the government. A year later, he announced the late emperor's death and ascended the throne himself."

Of course, Zhao Jichen and Yu Jie knew about these things.Zhao Jichen was only three or four years old at the time, and he heard these things from other people.He couldn't help but said: "It's been so many years, what does the emperor still mention these old things?"

Zhao Lingcang didn't answer, but turned to look at Princess Wu who was at the side: "Mengyou, you can talk to them." After saying that, he closed his eyes, as if he was tired.

Feng Mengyou's voice was very clear and pleasant: "Let me tell the little prince and Lord Yu personally."

She opened her mouth slowly, but what she revealed was a secret affair of the royal family for many years: "I wonder if the two of you have heard of Wuwangzhai?" She looked at the expressions of the two of them, and continued: "On the rivers and lakes, Wuwangzhai is the only one. A mysterious organization of killers, the people in it can keep their faces forever by practicing Wuwang magic. But in fact, Wuwangzhai is just an organization established by the emperor to control the power in the world. Most of the emperor's secret guards are also Wuwangzhai The middleman. The current government does not know about this matter, and the current dark guards are nothing more than mobs."

She paused, and then said: "I am not talented, and I am the current Wuwang Zhaizhu."

Alarm bells were ringing in Yu Jie's heart, thinking that it's better to know little about these imperial family secrets, and it must be no good to have to listen to them now.

Zhao Jichen looked very interested, and motioned for Princess Wu to continue talking.

"During the Renhai Incident, Wuwangzhai sent people to secretly sneak into the country of Yan to rescue the late emperor. I hate that those barbarians did not leak anything. It has been half a year since our people sneaked in. After he rescued the late emperor and escorted him back to the capital , it will be a few months later.”

"Father will ascend the throne in a few months, that is to say, the former emperor was tortured and weak in Yan country and died soon after arriving in the capital?" Zhao Jichen asked suddenly.

Feng Mengyou glanced at him and shook his head: "No, the first emperor died in the sixth year of Yongchu."

Yu Jie was surprised that Yongchu was the year name used by the current emperor when he first came to the throne, which means that the former emperor had not passed away at that time.I'm afraid he announced his brother's death to the world for the sake of the throne.

"You guessed right. The late emperor was indeed tortured in the country of Yan. And it was a torture that you can't imagine." Feng Mengyou's face showed a faint look of pain: "He was used by those beasts in the country of Yan who are not as good as pigs and dogs. The secret technique has become □□.”

For a while, the hall suddenly fell silent, and even the cicadas outside the house stopped singing.Zhao Jichen had to slow down his breathing, and asked softly, "Father, does he know about this?"

"Of course he knows, why doesn't he know?" It was Zhao Lingcang who closed his eyes and meditated, "He thought that the appearance of the late emperor should not inherit the great line, so he announced the death of the late emperor. During the year, the late emperor's princes and princesses were naturally missing or sick, but he never expected that the late emperor's most beloved son, Xi Huai, would not die."

Feng Mengyou interjected: "Wuwangzhai tried so hard to preserve the last bit of the late emperor's blood, and sent it to the capital for others to cultivate. But now, it's time. Back then, Zhao Xihuai, the late emperor's most beloved son, It's you, Yu Jie."
