Tang Caixin felt a little nervous when she saw this situation. She wondered whether it was the King of Zhennan who wanted her accomplices. Then she put on her bamboo hat and dragged Xia Xie towards the city gate. There was a notice board at the city gate.
There were usually portraits of wanted criminals hanging on them. Tang Cai wanted to find out what was going on. But when he walked to the notice board, he suddenly became dumbfounded.
She thought it must be her portrait on the notice board. But when she took a closer look, the person turned out to be Xia Xie. At this time, Xia Xie also found out that he was wanted. He asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why am I wanted?"
Already?"
Tang Cai thought: "Something must have happened when we come to the city. Let's go in. If you don't want to die, it's best to be honest. If the officers and soldiers find out, according to the wanted order, they will be punished on the spot." Xia Xie was startled and hurriedly looked carefully.
Xia Dynasty's wanted orders are divided into three levels. The first level is the red wanted order. Generally, once such criminals are discovered, they will be shot.
You don't have to be so cruel if you like me. No matter how my mother is here, she will definitely not sit idly by." He was anxiously looking at the city gate in a daze.
Tang Caixin handed him a human skin mask and said, "Put this on and follow me." Then he turned and walked towards the city gate. Xia Xie was very nervous. He quickly put on the mask and followed Tang Caixin.
When he was at the gate of the city, Xia Xie seemed to hear his own heartbeat. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers who were checking him only took a look at him and let him in.
As soon as they entered the city, Xia Xie said: "No, I have to go back to the palace. Something must have happened at home." After saying that, he ran away. Tang Caixin also felt very strange, so she did not stop him. She just followed him closely and ran towards the Zhennan palace.
The Palace of the Prince of Zhennan is located to the east of Kunwu City. Although the Xia Dynasty has not yet implemented the enfeoffment system like the Zhou Dynasty, it has already taken the prototype of the enfeoffment system. Therefore, the Palace of the Prince of Zhennan is also the highest authority in the southern region. The palace covers an area of thousands of
For a while, you can see waterside pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere. There are many pavilions and corridors. It can be regarded as an extraordinary sight.
Xia Xie hurriedly arrived at the outskirts of the palace and saw that countless soldiers in the distance had heavily surrounded the palace. Countless slaves were driven out with whips. There were bursts of noisy sounds from the palace. Xia Xie suddenly felt stupid.
This scene was clearly a house raid. As soon as Xia Xie took off his mask, he rushed inside to find out.
Tang Caixin grabbed him and said, "You don't want your life. I didn't see soldiers ransacking your home. Aren't you surrendering yourself now when you go back? It's really retribution. Haha. But you can't die now."
Xia Xie's own home was already on the verge of destruction. As a man, it was natural for him to stand up at this time. He himself didn't know why he was only kidnapped in just two days and so many things happened. He was angry in his heart.
Uneasy and anxious, he was in a mess. He didn't know what to do now. But at this moment, a very slovenly old man came out of the alley next to him and grabbed Xia Xie and said: "Sir, come with me quickly. This is not the place."
Safety."
Xia Xie fixed his eyes and saw that this sloppy old man was clearly his old housekeeper. He grabbed him and asked, "What happened? Where is your father? What's going on at home?"
The old housekeeper cautiously walked around and said: "This is not the place to talk. Come with me quickly. Otherwise, we will be in trouble if King Pingxi's people find out." Then he dragged Xia Xie into an ordinary house in the alley.
After Xia Xie came in, he saw that the courtyard of this family was very simple. There were only two ordinary tile-roofed houses. He was thinking about this family and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"
The old housekeeper made a quieter gesture and said: "Shh. Be careful, my ancestor. The prince is waiting for your return in the dark room at the back. Come with me quickly. Don't ask what happened now. When you see the prince, you can naturally
Everything is understood."
When Xia Xie heard that his father was still alive, he immediately had a backbone in his heart. So he hurriedly said: "Take me there quickly."
The old housekeeper asked Tang Caixin, "Who is this girl?"
Xia Xie didn't want to explain anything to him now, so he said: "She is a friend of mine. It doesn't matter." The old housekeeper nodded and pulled Xia Xie into the tile-roofed house.
In the center of the tiled house, the old housekeeper turned over a few blue bricks and found a prototype mechanism. When he pulled the mechanism, a hole appeared in the ground. The old housekeeper said, "Come down with me. The prince is down there."
Xia Xie stepped into the entrance of the cave and walked down the long stairs. It was very dark inside and smelled of decay. Xia Xie felt anxious and uneasy. After a while, he reached the end of the stairs and saw that there was a cave below.
The darkroom below was so small that one could barely straighten up. Then the old housekeeper lit the oil lamp and the room became bright. At this time, Xia Xie saw King Zhennan lying in the corner and couldn't believe his eyes.
