Chapter 19 Caged Bird
The scene before him was far beyond Lin Junshu’s expectation.
The woman on the bed was wearing a loose robe, and her skin was so fair that it looked as if she had never seen the sun for years. However, her jade-like skin was covered with several hideous scars, which were occasionally revealed from the sleeves and collar.<
/p>
A chain as thick as a baby's arm was connected to the ground under the bed and penetrated the woman's skinny legs.
I don’t know how long the wound has been like this, but the woman’s legs have completely grown together with the chains. If the chains can be taken out in the future, I am afraid that these legs will never stand up again.
The woman closed her eyes tightly, fearful and at a loss as she crawled backwards with her hands on her hands. Lin Junshu noticed that her eyelids were dry and she seemed to have no eyeballs.
"You...your injuries..."
Yu Ningxiang quickly woke up from her brief panic, stretched out her hand to tuck the messy hair from her forehead behind her ears, and her still calm voice sounded:
"It's just the price the returned goods received before their new value was discovered..."
"Now, do you believe my motives in helping you?"
"...I'm sorry..."
Lin Jun wrote with a look of shame. Just from the injuries that could be seen, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of inhuman torture the other party had experienced. The unwillingness to show his true face was not for the sake of being mysterious, but to show such scars in front of others.
For a girl, it is really cruel.
Lin Junshu wanted to step forward to hang the curtain again, but was interrupted by Yu Ningxiang.
"No, since I've already seen you, there's no need to hang up. It's just that I haven't seen a stranger for a long time, so I feel a little uncomfortable for a while."
Lin Junshu was silent and finally put down his hand.
"Girl...Jade, are these...all done by the Lord of Xushui City?"
Yu Ningxiang nodded lightly, "None of the businesses on the surface of Xushui County is his core business. The core business of Xushui County is human trade."
"I was once a member of the commodity, but I didn't want to accept this kind of life. I couldn't escape in Xushui City. Even asking for death after being selected as a commodity was a luxury, so I could only pretend to be obedient.
After being sold to a powerful person, you fight back again."
"I thought I would at least get death, but I didn't expect that instead of executing me, he sent me back as a failure..."
"So, I began to experience inhuman torture... I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took the initiative to reveal my talents."
"My sister and I were both products that he had great expectations for. Unlike my younger sister, who was born with a beautiful and fragrant beauty, I was chosen as a product because of my natural fragrance, and I can use my own blood to make
Into a special balm..."
Lin Junshu thought of the fragrance he smelled when he first entered the city gate. He originally thought that it would be mixed with some magical spices that would make people so dizzy, but he did not expect that it was actually the natural fragrance of the woman in front of him.

Yu Ningxiang continued:
"The balm I handed over caused an uproar in the circle of powerful people, and the price was quickly raised to a price that was hard to find. Wang Cheng discovered a new value, and it could provide him with a greater value than me as a commodity.
And there is a steady stream of value.”
"I asked for a house that belongs exclusively to me, so I became the owner of this Ningxiang Pavilion. I didn't want to have contact with outsiders, so I could close the shop forever. Even in the time of bliss, this place was listed as
Restricted area, no entry."
"Qingqing was also a little girl from a civilian area who I chose to take care of my daily life. Because of my withdrawal, my parents were killed by Wang Cheng in a rage. He was worried that he would have no leverage to control me."<
/p>
"But I don't have much affection for my parents who treated us as goods in exchange for a better life. The sister I only cared about was also reduced to goods and was sold to the rich and powerful in Luoyang early."
"I have been waiting in Ningxiang Pavilion just to wait for one day to see Wang Cheng's end, to see his ambition shattered and buried by his greed!"
Yu Ningxiang's voice has always been cold and plain, as if those stories, those tortures and sufferings did not happen to her.
Lin Junshu heard heavy hatred from the cold voice. The woman on the bed had long lost all hope for life. The only thing that kept her alive was her hatred for beasts.
"How...how did you figure out that we were here to kill Wang Cheng?"
Lin Junshu thought they had done a pretty good job, and they probably didn’t leave too many flaws...right?
"Because it's obvious that you don't look like people who come to Xushui City to vent and have fun. After you rescued this little girl and ventured back to Ningxiang Pavilion, I am even more sure."
"There should be quite a few people who have noticed your abnormality. After dawn and the time of bliss ends, your situation should be reported to the City Lord's Mansion. Have you made plans on how to deal with it?"
Lin Junshu and Hu Jian looked at each other silently, both dumbfounded.
"What...what, I...do we look...so obvious?"
The black-faced man also looked frustrated. He was originally very confident in his acting skills!
At least... he's a bit or two better than Lin Junshu, right?
"Where is the City Lord's Mansion? We went to the civilian area behind the Long Street, and we didn't see a building that looked like the City Lord's Mansion there? Is it on the other side?"
Yu Ningxiang closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.
"The civilian areas on both sides are just ordinary civilians living there. On the other side are the potential goods selected by Wang Cheng, who are receiving various training and training in the northern area of the city... The area you are going to should be the southern part of the city, where the lowest level people live.
The place is roughly divided into several areas such as mating area, production area, breeding area, etc., and is intensively raised like livestock. The only task is to give birth to more people and fill the goods..."
"The city lord's palace is within the city within the city!"
"Wait a minute, hasn't the city within the city been demolished?" Lin Junshu was deeply impressed by the cannibalistic place with bones all over the ground in Zhang Jiao's story.

"The city within the city was demolished, but Wang Cheng rebuilt it. Perhaps the city within the city brought him a different kind of satisfaction and security, so he built his own residence in the place full of bones.
You should have seen it, that dark building made of pure stone at the end of the long street."
"What? That...is actually the City Lord's Mansion?"
Lin Junshu and Hu Jian have actually met each other before. Not only did they meet, they also took a walk down there.
Lin Junshu thought it was some fancy and ugly special attraction, but it was the mansion that that beast built for himself.
"This is not easy to handle..."
During the previous observation, Lin Junshu discovered that the strange building was built like a turtle shell and had no sense of beauty. This is why Lin Junshu believes that modern people "ugly buildings that are incomprehensible are all scenic spots".
I’m sure it must be a landmark attraction in Xushui City.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the City Lord's Mansion. That building only had two huge stone doors that were tightly closed. It seemed like there was no place for them to sneak into...
"Indeed, the City Lord's Mansion generally does not allow outsiders to enter. It is the place where Wang Cheng lives all year round. Since it was repaired, people in the city rarely see him showing up. If you have no other way and want to enter the City Lord's Mansion, then
Impossible." Yu Ningxiang said.
Lin Junshu pondered for a moment, integrating all the information he saw and heard when he entered the city, hoping to find a way to complete the mission.
There is really not much time left for them. Regardless of Ling'er's matter and their precarious identity, if they don't break the situation as soon as possible, let alone assassinate that beast Wang Ke, it's hard to say whether they can get out of Xushui City like this.
After a long time, Lin Junshu finally spoke:
"Miss Yu, do you have a way to report the news directly to Wang Cheng?"
Although she didn't know what Lin Junshu was going to do, Yu Ningxiang still nodded truthfully.
"That's good. Please send a message to that beast early tomorrow morning, saying that the confidants of the young master of the Lu family in Wu County came to Xushui City for inspection. They have passed my inspection. I have a big business deal tomorrow and I want to talk to him!"
"What! Are you from the Lu family in Wu County? That rich Lu family in Jiangdong?" Yu Ningxiang said in surprise. Wu County is far away from Youzhou. She has guessed many identities, even the most unlikely Yellow Turban Army.
, but never thought that they were from the Jiangdong family?
Lin Junshu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who we are."
