The dungeons of the Dragon Prison Great Wall are not accessible to ordinary people, and those who can enter cannot get out.
The dungeon was humid and dark, and it was not clear for a moment whether it was water or blood that we stepped on. We could only tell the difference based on the smell.
The corridor was also like a dragon's body. Two Yuguo soldiers pressed down on Lu Fanchi, and a path went straight to the depths. The strange thing was that the prisoners on both sides were very quiet, and there were no cries of injustice.
Lu Fanchi was thrown into the deepest cell. The two Yuguo soldiers acted very casually. They touched him randomly and left.
Fortunately, the peace treaty and the stone seal had been hidden in the soles of his shoes, and the soles of his feet were uncomfortable as he walked along the way.
He quickly found a place to sit down and looked around. Apart from the sounds of flies slapping their wings and mice squeaking, there was no sound of human beings in the dungeon.
Lu Fanchi felt very puzzled. He couldn't fly over or walk over Yuguo. How could he dig a hole in the ground and crawl through it?
Now he should figure out how to get out. He stood up and groped blindly in the cell. It was too dark, not even a trace of firelight.
He stretched his hand forward and touched something strange. He ran his fingers across it and could clearly feel that the thing in front was layer by layer and was very soft.
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew by, and some fluffy things scratched Lu Fanchi's arms, causing goosebumps all over his body.
"Have you touched enough?"
A hoarse question made Lu Fanchi retreat quickly. There was someone else in the cell.
"Sorry, I don't know anyone and can't see clearly."
Lu Fanchi recalled the touch just now, and he could have touched the wrinkles on the old man's face.
"The people locked up here can't see clearly. Just stay there. What did you do to come in?" The old man spoke in a low voice, as if he was playing an erhu.
"I...I flew over the city and...came in." Lu Fanchi hesitated.
"Hmph, there are actually people flying over the Dragon Prisoning Great Wall these days. It seems you are lucky not to die, but you will die soon." The old man said with a smile.
"Ah? Then Yuguo is not allowed to enter or exit?" Lu Fanchi asked doubtfully.
"You can only get out but not get in, don't you know?" The old man's breath was thunderous, and the chain around his neck kept making sounds as he spoke.
"Yu Guo is so weird? What does it mean that he is about to die?" Lu Fanchi continued to ask.
"Weird? The weird ones are from Yuguo! I don't know when they started to close the country. As for the fact that they are about to die...hehehehe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man went crazy. A pair of red eyes appeared in the darkness, and he rushed towards Lu Fanchi. His yellow teeth opened wide, trying to bite off a piece of meat from Lu Fanchi.
Lu Fanchi panicked and kicked the old man away, then took two steps back. The old man got up and rushed forward again. Fortunately, the chain behind him was tied around his neck. At this moment, he was only one step away from Lu Fanchi.
Lu Fanchi stretched out his leg and kicked the old man in the face. The yellow teeth were left behind and festered all over the ground.
"Where are you locking me up! I actually touched him just now! Hey! Hey!" Lu Fanchi then shouted outside.
It was the man with the bow who followed the noise, but there was more than one. Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing a cloak and a bronze mask.
The man holding the bow opened the cell door, asked the middle-aged man for permission to enter, and then left.
Lu Fanchi raised his hand vigilantly to protect the front, and asked, "Who are you...?"
The middle-aged man gradually approached and whispered: "Xuan Nu... let me pick you up."
Lu Fanchi realized that something was wrong with the middle-aged man in front of him. He took half a step back and pretended to be stupid: "Xuan Nu? What Xuan Nu?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm really here to pick you up, otherwise you will be in a cell with this monster?"
The middle-aged man politely gave way.
Lu Fanchi was doubtful and wanted to at least leave this place first. If everything he had guessed before was correct, Xuan Nu had other people besides the assassin and himself.
"How do you know that I was sent by Xuannv, and how can you prove that you are Xuannv's person?" Lu Fanchi asked tentatively.
The middle-aged man stopped in the corridor, turned his head and glanced, but did not answer. He raised his hand to signal Lu Fanchi to follow closely behind.
At this moment, Lu Fanchi had no bottom in his heart, he could only choose to believe.
The cells on the left and right sides of the corridor have a strong herbal smell, and most of them only hold one person, just like the old man just now, with dark red eyes and wrinkles on the surface, but except for the face, the skin on the hands looks very...
smooth.
Walking to the dungeon door, the bright light outside and the darkness inside the prison form a dividing line, as if Yin and Yang are separated from each other.
The bow holder just now was sitting in front of the gate, playing with the blade in his hand. When the middle-aged man passed by, he stopped what he was doing.
The middle-aged man said in a gentle tone: "General Mo Zhao, I will take him away."
Mo Zhao nodded, then lowered his head and played with the blade.
Lu Fanchi followed behind and glanced at him. Why did Mo Zhao look so fierce just now and his attitude suddenly changed? Could this middle-aged man in front of him be a high official?
The two walked out of the door, and Lu Fanchi raised his hands to block the dazzling sunlight. Through the gap between his fingers, he could vaguely see the middle-aged man inviting him to sit in the carriage.
Lu Fanchi didn't hesitate at all, and followed the middle-aged man into the carriage.
The groom drank and the carriage ran at high speed. Lu Fanchi didn't know where the destination was. Perhaps due to the influence of the middle-aged man, he remained silent for a long time.
After leaving the Dragon Prisoner's Wall for several miles, the middle-aged man said, "You can talk now."
Lu Fanchi asked softly: "So cautious? Why is that? Xuannv's people cannot be seen in the light?"
The middle-aged man smiled across the bronze face and said: "It can be understood that way, but what I am more afraid of is the general on the edge of the Great Wall."
Lu Fanchi didn't know which general it was, but he had already asked the question in the dungeon, so he wouldn't ask a second time.
The middle-aged man realized this and said humbly: "Don't worry, I do belong to the Great God Xuannv, otherwise I wouldn't wait for you here for seven days, let alone let Mo Zhao force you to go to the dungeon."
"All of this is just a show for General Chu on the edge of the Great Wall, because no one except you will pass through this place during the period when Yuguo is closed. The situation in Yuguo is like fire and water, and there are crises everywhere. It is difficult for you, sir."
Lu Fanchi sighed and thought. It turned out that Xuan Nu meant that she would report within seven days. It was not clear that she wanted him to subconsciously play tricks with the people he arranged.
If someone discovers that he went to Yuguo with a purpose and arouses unnecessary suspicion, those two arrows are probably not a warning, but a fatal blow.
"Including you, how many people are Xuannv's people?" Lu Fanchi asked.
"Not many. One person just died recently, and when you arrived, there were exactly twelve people." The middle-aged man said calmly.
When Lu Fanchi heard this, he couldn't help but clasp the peace agreement with his toes. He didn't dare to show any expression on his face. His heart sank and he said, "Including Mo Zhao just now?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Sir, I have seen the current situation in Yuguo in the dungeon. I don't know what you think."
The bumpy journey made it difficult for Lu Fanchi to concentrate, and the incident about the assassin made him even more afraid to talk nonsense. The man in front of him was obviously testing himself.
Now even one more movement can arouse suspicion. He said directly: "Those people in the dungeon are not prisoners, but medicine people? But they can still speak clearly, which means they are not ordinary medicine people."
The middle-aged man was smiling inside his mask, but Lu Fanchi couldn't see it. He didn't know whether the middle-aged man was satisfied with his answer, so he remained silent for a moment.
Lu Fanchi also immediately realized that this person's silence was a second test, to calm himself down.
"Sir, you are indeed Xuannv's designated candidate." The middle-aged man nodded with great approval and continued, "I didn't hide it, so I opened the skylight and spoke openly. There are twelve Xuannvs, of course not including Mr.
You are all performing your duties in Yuguo, but you cannot directly take over the Yuguo court. I hope that your arrival, sir, will bring about some changes."
"Today's Yuguo can be said to be in one word: 'Chaos'! King Yu is critically ill, and the Imperial Master is in charge. He not only ordered people to close the country, but also asked some medicine dealers to secretly refine medicine. On the surface, it was the Imperial Master who donated medicine to King Yu.
, is actually preparing to refine medicinal weapons, Xuannv does not want to win the war in such an inhumane way."
Lu Fanchi couldn't help but ask: "When the Imperial Master is in power, he can cover the sky with one hand and practice in private? Do other officials also want this?"
The middle-aged man said: "After all, he is a national teacher and not a king. It is so against humanity. Although some people object to it, and although it is prohibited openly, no one can stop it privately."
"This medicinal herb business can be said to be a huge profit. Many shops also privately sell the two necessities of making medicine, the beast beetle and bone vine. But it is a pity that we can't catch these. Mr. Lao has taken action in this regard."
Lu Fanchi responded: "Either kill the Imperial Master, or cure King Yu's illness, or in other words, both things must be achieved."
Although he got to the point, it was easier said than done. Not to mention using his hands, he couldn't cure the disease. He could only use his brain.
The middle-aged man said helplessly: "Yes, and the front line was retreating steadily. A few of us planned to negotiate peace with Xuan Guo, but failed. The national division group did not want to negotiate peace, and installed an assassin as a bodyguard to accompany the envoy.
After we received the news, we ordered Tang Xiu to go and retrieve the peace treaty, but unexpectedly the ferry was attacked and the peace treaty was ignored."
Lu Fanchi was sweating from behind. If they investigated and found out that he was the direct cause of Tang Xiu's death and the attack was indirect, then it would be him who should die now, not the Imperial Master.
Finally, the peace agreement could not be handed over.
But in this way, the suspicion of why the flying ferry assassination was so slow has been solved. The person who killed the envoy was the guard assigned by the Imperial Preceptor. The guard was killed by Tang Xiu who arrived late, covering up the traces and dripping
Soul water.
So, at that time, Tang Xiu really followed the last group of people and secretly boarded the ship, knowing that he and Xiao Que'er were hiding their identities.
Tang Xiu didn't say that he couldn't recognize it at the time, but after he recognized it, he committed suicide because he was worried about Su Sheng and Xiao Que'er.
If I hadn't been so cautious and hasty at that time, I wouldn't have died in my own hands...
Lu Fanchi continued: "Does the Imperial Master expect that you will take back the peace agreement?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "No, the attacker is a Shu monk, not a national teacher."
"Why did the Shu monks come?"
The middle-aged man continued to explain: "The condition of Xuanguo's peace negotiation is alliance. They will work together to turn the wind in Shu's favor. After receiving the first-hand news, the monks of Shu directly sent people to attack the Lunxian Alliance.
Flying ferry.”
"So decisive? Someone passed on the real information, Imperial Master?" Lu Fanchi guessed.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the national master should not be like this. Even if it is to prevent Yuxuan from harming the alliance, he will not offend the Ronxian Alliance."
All the messy information came into his mind at once. Lu Fanchi was a little dizzy. Xuannu's errand was really difficult to do.
The middle-aged man reminded: "We can be called disciples of Xuannv Cult for the time being, but please don't make it public. I hope you, sir, won't ask any more questions."
Lu Fanchi nodded and asked, "Then where are we going now?"
"Then I will naturally arrange a residence for you, sir." This chapter has been completed!
