Violent sword repair teaches you to be a human being

Chapter 141

After dinner, Lin Zhen continued to bury his head among the military merit books on the desk case, flipping through the scrolls of bamboo slips with a "crash".

Chi Yuan, on the other hand, packed up his things, and sat alone on the side holding a woodcut to entertain himself, without making any sound, and looked obedient.

Lin Zhen thought that Chi Yuan wanted to play here for a while, so he ignored him and continued to draw ink-colored names on the bamboo slips with a brush.

It wasn't until the card was knocked twice outside, and there was a "bang bang" knocking sound, that Lin Zhen finally realized that it was already very late.

She rubbed the bridge of her nose, put down the bamboo slips in her hand, looked at Chi Yuan who was still fiddling with woodcuts, and asked, "Xiao Yuan, it's already late, you should go back and rest."

Chi Yuan withdrew his hand and put it on his lap neatly.He said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Master, I don't want to go to sleep in that room."

"Huh?" Lin Zhen asked in a puzzled voice, "Why?"

Chi Yuan complained to Lin Zhen aggrievedly: "I always hear someone over there crying and howling, gurgling and talking about some nonsense, I'm scared..."

Listening to Chi Yuan's description, Lin Zhen remembered: Hu Erqi seems to be locked up somewhere nearby, right?But there are still three or four walls between that place and the room where Chi Yuan lives. Can the sound be transmitted in this way?How loud is Kulchi's voice...

Lin Zhen didn't expect such a situation, she shouted outside the door: "Come here."

The servant outside the door came in in response: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Go and tell that captured Hun named Huerqi to calm down a little bit," Lin Zhen felt annoyed with this Hurqi, and added a threat by the way, "Tell him, if he is still yelling If he yells, I will pull out his tongue."

"Yes."

The servant led out.

Chi Yuan didn't seem happy because he could get a good sleep again, he blinked pitifully: "Master?"

Fine.It's really disturbing to have people crying and howling in the middle of the night, and now I don't know how to make Chi Yuan go back.

Lin Zhen glanced at the layout of the room: there was a small couch behind the screen, which was probably used for a short rest after finishing official duties.

As she continued to reply to the bamboo slips, she raised her chin towards the screen over there, and said to Chi Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, if you are afraid, you can sleep on the couch at the back for a night?"

Chi Yuan couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"Really." Lin Zhen recalled it while sketching on the bamboo slips, and said to Chi Yuan, "It's cold at night, there is a thick blanket in the cabinet on the right, you take it and cover it yourself, don't blow the cold wind, you know ?"

Chi Yuan nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

He ran over with his short legs and took out the blanket, moved to the couch with a "hum-chi-hum-chi", then got into the quilt in a "smooth way", and said to Lin Zhen through a screen: "Master, I'm sleeping!" It's on!"

Lin Zhen turned the direction of the oil lamp, and responded softly: "Well, go to sleep."

-

When Chi Yuan woke up from the couch the next morning, Lin Zhen was no longer in the room, and the bamboo slips that had piled up like a mountain on the table were also emptied.

There were lively voices coming from all over the barracks.

The soldiers held the bamboo chip that recorded their military exploits in their hands, and they were all in high spirits—the battle just ended yesterday, and everyone’s military exploits have already been obtained today. Actively and impatiently sending out this month's salary, who wouldn't be happy?

After rewarding the soldiers according to their merits, Lin Zhen also wrote a letter to Li Mo, telling him that the situation in Zhuyue City had stabilized, and he had captured Hun Khan's eldest son, Zuo Xianwang Huerqi alive, so he could lead the army It's time to return.

Lin Zhen sent someone to send the letter to the mausoleum.According to the distance between the two places, it is estimated that Li Mo will be back in five or six days.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Zhen finally remembered the guy who disturbed the people in the middle of the night last night.She came to the prison where the prisoners were held in Zhuyue City, and looked at the dark space in front of her, which looked a little gloomy and still smelled of blood, and couldn't help frowning: "Where is Huerqi locked?"

The jailer at the door hurriedly replied, "It's in the innermost iron prison."

As he said that, he hurriedly took down a lamp from the wall, and held the lamp in front to show Lin Zhen the way.

The cell is dark and dark, with only a small window every few dozen steps, about the size of a fist, from which a bit of cold skylight is thrown in coldly, but only a little bit of it is pitifully weak. The place.

The firelight in the jailer's hands flickered and danced slightly, reflecting on the walls of the cells on both sides.The corner of the wall has condensed into black blood, flashing in the firelight.

Lin Zhen looked at the cell and found that it was really cold and dark. Staying in such a place for a long time might drive a normal person crazy.

The iron prison where Huerqi was held was in the deepest part of the cell.

This iron prison is very strong, and the surrounding railings should be made of fine iron. Over time, a layer of dark rust has grown on it, mixed with the bloody smell that is almost moldy around, it smells particularly strange , and even a bit disgusting taste.

The jailer brought a stool outside the iron prison, wiped his sleeves and said, "Please sit down, Your Highness."

Hu Erqi, who had been closing his eyes in the iron prison, heard the sound, and quickly turned over and got up from the thatch pile.

Hu Erqi looked at Lin Zhen who was sitting outside the cell and looked at him leisurely, various complex expressions flashed in his eyes, and he said hoarsely: "Jiang Wei, you are Jiang Wei..."

The guard next to him swung his whip twice, and angrily reprimanded: "Bold, how dare you call His Highness by his name!"

After being whipped these two times, Hu Erqi changed his words tactfully: "Okay, Emperor Ji Pingning, Your Highness—is this the head office?"

He looked at Lin Zhen's expression filled with remorse: "If I had known this, I should have led the troops to welcome Diji back to the Golden Tent Royal Court when the news came from Mobei."

Lin Zhen responded with a smile: "Then Qi Duo Khan has returned to the underworld now. King Zuo Xian is really a filial son."

Hu Erqi was stunned by these words. He knew that the plan to conquer the Central Plains would probably be ruined, but as long as he could save his life, in the next few decades or hundreds of years, there would be no need to worry about the time when Feng Shui would turn around... …

Thinking of this, his attitude softened, and he even planned to throw some less important information in exchange for the other party's trust, and said cooperatively: "Is there anything Di Ji wants to ask me when she comes to see me this time? I will definitely Know everything..."

Lin Zhen interrupted his speech by raising his hand: "No. I just want to ask, what were you screaming in the middle of the night last night? My apprentice didn't get a good night's sleep."

I'm willing to cooperate with your questioning, but what you really care about is your apprentice's sleep quality?Can you figure out the point!

Hu Erqi was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.
