Heroes of the Fantasy World

(7)

The only small window that allows sunlight to come in is at the top of the head. When Baifeng is free, he looks up at the few beams of sunlight that are evenly divided by the iron panes. Obviously, they cannot shine on his body, but he can still feel its warmth. .

After waking up, sweat quickly soaked the shirt that had just dried out, and the annoying smell of mosquitoes and rotten grass permeated the surroundings, as if it could swallow one's will at any time.

"Heh." He laughed, without complaining, but just yelled: "Bring water!"

"Hey, bring it here." The jailer had never served the prisoners he was guarding so willingly.

He was a little rusty, and he found the water tank after going wrong twice in a row.

After walking back and forth, the jailer was already sweating profusely, but he still decided to take the water to Baifeng first, and then come back to drink his own. In fact, he didn't need to do this, but a voice in his heart told him: If you can talk to the person in prison, then there is nothing more important than this.

"Here comes the water, General Baifeng!" He watched the other party drink it up with his own eyes, feeling endless satisfaction in his heart: "I heard that Xiangguo has returned to the palace to accept the interrogation. This guy has always been nepotism, and many honest and upright officials All good officials have suffered, and seeing Mei Lin suffer is all thanks to General Baifeng."

He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed in respect, very abrupt, even Bai Feng didn't react.

"To be honest, I originally worked in Shangshu Province, but because one of the noble sons of Mei Linxiang bought an official position, they randomly gave me a charge of 'absence of duty', and then demoted me to Dali Temple I’m a small pawn. I’ve always been brooding on my heart, only hating that there’s no way to serve the country! If General Baifeng is willing to help the villain, the villain is willing to help the general, and vows to wipe out the eunuchs.”

When Bai Feng heard his grievances, he was equally indignant, and immediately sighed and said helplessly: "This time I risked my life to deal with the eunuchs, and I have committed a crime, so I must not stay in the palace. Unfortunately, I can't help you, big brother."

"By the way, what's your eldest brother's name?" Bai Feng said. Just as the jailer was about to answer, Prince Gao Yang arrived unannounced as a third person.

"General Baifeng, I have prepared fine wine for you."

The pawn stood between the prince and Baifeng with a blank expression for a while, then brought the wine glass belatedly, and finally stepped back first.

The two drank three glasses of wine across the prison, and neither of them had anything to say.

Gao Yang squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Feng carefully, and teased: "The general looks good recently?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's appreciation."

The prince continued: "Many people who have been wronged and imprisoned are afraid of losing their reputation, so they don't think about food and drink, and are full of worries. When they finally come out, most of them don't look like human beings. You don't care much?"

"I'm a wandering person, and my home is all over the world. What does the so-called reputation have to do with me? I can't stay in this place, so I just leave."

The crown prince's eyes were full of admiration, and he said again: "Since the general is so open-minded, I have something to say - your wife, the witch Murong Yan, has been taken back to the palace by the Taiping Taoists."

"What?!" Bai Feng was so out of breath that he spit out blood and his body twitched.

"Open the prison door!" said the prince.

The jailer was so anxious that his hands trembled, he took the wrong key several times, and opened the door with difficulty.

"General Baifeng, are you okay?" The prince looked at Baifeng's face, which was livid, and then calmly explained: "After Mei Xiangguo returned to the palace, the task of finding the witches fell entirely on the Taiping Taoists... Sima Tu He advised his father to arrest all the pregnant women in Jinyang, claiming that doing so would make the witch appear. The result was as he expected."

Bai Feng was trembling with anger, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only curse secretly: "Damn evil ways!"

Crown Prince Gao Yang was unhappy: "If any official does this kind of thing, it will be stigmatized for thousands of years, but their Taiping Daoists want to become 'humans' of immortals. May I ask which mortal has the ability to criticize an immortal? What's more, the emperor approves of Sima Tu doing."

"I, failed." Bai Feng said.

"Why did General Baifeng say that?" Gao Yang asked: "You successfully held the imperial contest, rescued the empress from the sea of ​​fire, and exposed the affair between General Huangfu and Mei Xiangguo. You have done a great job! I came here to tell you that the emperor has decided to pardon you, but you can no longer stay in the palace, because the position of "General of the Central Defender" has also been cancelled. It is appropriate, and you, General Baifeng, will be sent to the Gao family army as a supervisor."

"Why, still not satisfied?" Seeing that Bai Feng did not show any joy, Gao Yang continued to ask: "What else is there to ask for, even if I can do it, I will try my best."

Bai Feng said: "His Royal Highness, I have a younger sister who was taken captive by the people of Taiping Dao. Bai Feng earnestly hopes that His Highness can help me rescue her..."

The prince agreed, and early the next morning, all the imperial guards in the city and the patrolling police of Dali Temple were led by Prince Gao Yang to call the door in front of Qingyue Hall on Taiping Road.

"Who is in charge? Someone reported that Qingyue Hall imprisoned innocent people without permission. Is there such a thing? You don't know about the recent missing persons case, right?" Yu Chizhen, the chief catcher of Dali Temple, asked sharply. No one answered the disciples.

At this time, Li Ke brought people from other places to confront Yu Chizhen and said, "Taoist temples are places of pure cultivation. Why do you visit here rashly?"

"My people have been arrested by you, can't I come and want to go back?" Prince Gao Yang appeared from among the guards, and the Taiping Taoists immediately turned their heads and bowed their hands in greeting.

Gao Yang took the opportunity to let the guards take down Li Keyong and others, and disarm them.

"Go in and search!" Yuchizhen took the lead and pushed away all the Taoists who blocked him.

There are only three rooms in Qingyue hall, the largest hall is divided into several spaces by screens, and there are many needle-pricked dolls with acupuncture points marked on them. There are also disciples who are naked inside the screen, practicing with each other. needle technique.

In the center is an alchemy furnace, gilded in color, with a strong fire.

Yu Chizhen followed the prince step by step, found a certain bookshelf, Gao Yang found a clue, there was a rotatable mechanism on the wall behind the bookshelf.

"Open!" Yu Chizhen stepped forward to open the mechanism, and a new entrance appeared on the ground instantly.

The prince echoed loudly, and everyone at that time was at war with swords, and walked cautiously into the secret passage. Soon, the scene in front of them was enough to make them unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Are those human hands and feet?"

"What's the smell? It's so strange."

"Look, there's someone there!"

The air inside is extremely dry, and it's not hot at all, which is really incomprehensible in the hot summer season.

The little man who was as delicate as a doll suddenly moved his mouth to speak: "How did you get in here!"

"Don't move, we are ordered to investigate the case of missing persons, if you dare to act recklessly, you are against the imperial court!" Yu Chizhen stepped forward to push the other party away, and found that there was indeed a living person trapped in this secret room: "Your Highness, people are here. "

The prince didn't answer, but suddenly appeared in the crowd a man who neither wore official uniform nor Taoist robe. He was dressed in common people's attire, walked up to Yuchizhen silently, and said, "Thank you Yuchi for patrolling."

Then the boy took the key and opened the cell door. The girl in the prison was dying, her hands and feet were skinny, and her only consciousness was in the three copper plates protected by her hands.

"Brother Yi..." She wept with joy.

Bai Feng hugged her expressionlessly, which was painful and depressing.

——It's too light, just like when they first met, I'm afraid they haven't even drank water these days.

"I'll take you home."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bai Feng brought Yu Ke back.

The Taiping Taoists still don't know what happened, but Gao Yang's anger has not stopped.

"Bring back all the things here and destroy them together! Such an evil thing is simply inhumane!" After speaking, the prince swung his sleeves and left.

Watching the boxes containing human organs being transported away one after another, Tianxuanzi became furious and wounded a few policemen with his fierce claw skills: "Try again if you dare to touch my things!"

The veins on her forehead were congested with blood, and her eyes were blazing, which did not match her petite body at all.

"Uncle!" Li Keyong came to persuade him: "Let's forget about this matter, His Royal Highness is also following orders."

"These caskets are my life's painstaking efforts. If I take them away, I will take away my life!" After speaking, Tianxuanzi made a gesture to attack the police again, but Li Keyong hugged him like a child: "Uncle, This is the order of the Heavenly Master, let's go!"

"Let go of me! I tell you to let go!"

The short limbs struggled desperately, to no avail.

The members of the Taiping Taoist retreated outside the Qingyue Hall until the members of the Dali Temple successfully completed their work.
