Along the way, we encountered the corpses of many bodyguards who died tragically. The rich smell of blood became even more pungent in this semi-enclosed underground space.
After going down dozens of stone steps, we passed through a shattered stone door.
There is indeed a huge secret prison underground.
With the help of dim firelight, Chu Ge glanced into the dark cell.
There is a guard hall in the center of the secret cell. There are three passages around the hall, and on both sides of the passage are cells made of iron bars.
There are about twenty rooms.
However, although it is a secret prison.
The environment is much better than Tianlao, at least it's clean and tidy inside.
Apparently, in order to make the coerced Kyoto officials obey, Prime Minister Lin also ordered not to be too harsh on these hostages.
Walk to a prison cell.
In a corner of the cell, several women were huddled.
There are young girls in their twenties and middle-aged women over fifty.
Chu Ge stretched out his hand and easily broke the iron lock and opened the cell door, causing all the women in the cell to scream in fear.
When Chu Ge saw this, he couldn't help but frowned.
You can do whatever you want, bark as much as you like, stop barking when you're tired, and I'll go look elsewhere.
Chu Ge inspected the secret cell and opened the cells one by one. The hostages held in the cell were male and female, old and young.
Those who were alert saw that all the guards were killed, but after Chu Ge opened the cell door, he stopped caring about them.
He tested in a low voice: "My hero, are you here to save us?"
Chu Ge showed a fierce look and said, "No, I'm here to kill you."
"ah?"
The scholar, who was dressed as an Imperial College student, was frightened and shrank back when he heard this.
But looking at Chu Ge, who had no intention of taking action, he forced an ugly smile on his face and said: "My hero, this is not a joke."
Chu Ge saw that this kid was still a bit clever.
He smiled and asked, "What's your name? How did you get caught here?"
Seeing this, the supervisor hurriedly came over.
With a smile on his face, he said: "My younger brother Xi Haodong is a student of the Imperial College, and my father is the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture."
Shuntian Mansion is the place in charge of the administration of Kyoto. Fu Cheng is the second-in-command in Shuntian Mansion, second only to Fu Yin, and a fourth-rank official in the court.
Considered to be a high-ranking person.
This hostage is indeed quite valuable.
Chu Ge continued to inspect the secret cells and opened the doors of each cell. The young follower Xi Haodong who followed him shouted from cell to cell:
"Don't be afraid, everyone, heroes are here to save us."
However, the effect is still not significant.
After all, although they are also imprisoned here, they are in different cells separated by stone walls. Unless they are in adjacent cells on the opposite side, they will not know each other.
When the two came to the innermost cell in the middle passage.
There was a hint of surprise in Chu Ge's eyes.
In this cell, a young and stunning Taoist nun was actually imprisoned.
The Taoist nun is wearing a loose moon-white robe, with slightly scattered sideburns hanging down on her classic and delicate face. Her nose is high and straight. At first glance, she looks like a mixed-race beauty.
The stunning Taoist nun sat cross-legged on a soft cushion with her eyes closed.
She looks like she is just seventeen or eighteen years old, but she has a unique charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Upon hearing the news of Chu Ge's arrival, the Taoist nun calmly opened her eyes.
Her eyes are very charming, round and big, bright and lively, without any bloodshot eyes or turbidity.
As black and shiny as a deer in the forest.
Chu Ge secretly thought, this should be the so-called Qiushui Mingmu.
Xi Haodong, who was following Chu Ge, suddenly bowed with excitement on his face and said, "I have met the Holy Lady."
Chu Ge: "Saint ???"
I just sent away a fox enchantress and received a Taoist saint?
But...doesn't Taoism not intervene in the struggle for power? Why is Prime Minister Lin arresting other saints?
Aren't you afraid of provoking the Taoists, getting caught, and being destroyed by them?
Chu Ge reached out and poked Xi Haodong, who was saluting respectfully, and asked: "Hey, who is this saint?"
Xi Haodong explained with a rosy face: "My lord, this lord is the saint of Shangqingguan in Kyoto. She is also the daughter of the king of Zhenbei, the pillar of the country of Dali."
The daughter of King Zhenbei?
Chu Ge blinked his eyes in shock.
Then it's understandable that she was caught.
However, when his daughter was arrested, King Zhenbei still dared to set a trap for Prime Minister Lin without fear of threats. This determination...
He is worthy of the name of the pillar of the Dali Kingdom.
If this plan fails, or fails to pry Lin Xiang's mouth off in time.
When the news reaches the village, all the protons here will probably have to be buried with Prime Minister Lin.
Looking at the beautiful Taoist nun in front of him, Chu Ge thought to himself:
King Zhenbei, I originally just thought that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would have a few drinks with someone like you.
Now it seems that maybe I will have to bring wine and visit during the holidays in the future.
Chu Ge cut off the chains of the cell with his hand and opened the cell door.
The little Taoist nun in the prison stood up and walked out, then reached out and patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, smiling and saying:
"Thank you, little brother. My name is Ye Suyu. When I arrive in Kyoto from now on, come to Zhenbei Palace or Shangqing Mountain, and I'll treat you to a drink."
The expression on Chu Ge's face froze for a moment.
Does your sister have a dual personality?
This change in temperament is too sudden.
How come she was a dignified and quiet Taoist saint just now, but she turned into a heroine after she left the prison?
Xi Haodong behind Chu Ge turned to stone. This saint... must be a fake, right?
An inexplicable smile appeared on Ye Suyu's lips, and she glanced at Chu Ge, who looked strange.
Then he walked to the hall at the entrance of the secret cell and started rummaging through the body of the guard.
Chu Ge, who went to open all the other cell doors first, came to the hall and heard the saint frowning and whispering: "Not here."
Chu Ge walked over and said doubtfully:
"What are you looking for?"
Ye Suyu said matter-of-factly: "The antidote, if I hadn't accidentally been poisoned, how could my noble saint be captured? It's really embarrassing. I will probably be banned from returning to the mountain this time. If I don't break through to the third level, I will probably
I can’t get down the mountain anymore.”
Chu Ge was shocked and said: "Third grade?"
How old are you?
Is this going to break through to the third level?
Are King Zhenbei’s genes so powerful?
Seeing Chu Ge's shocked look, Ye Suyu raised her fair and pointed chin proudly.
"Otherwise, why do you think I became a saint and took the back door?"
Chu Ge glanced at Ye Suyu's round buttocks under the Taoist robe, and then said seriously:
"The antidote you want is probably outside. I will take you to find it later."
Xi Haodong then went to each cell and called out all the people inside.
After everyone gathered in the hall one after another, Ye Suyu returned to her saintly appearance and spoke to comfort everyone.
Then, together with Chu Ge, we walked along the stone steps to the outside of the dark prison.
Before leaving, Chu Ge took a look at an open small iron cage in the corner of the dark cell hall.
It seems that the little fox from before was probably locked up here.
Du Yuehua probably finished killing people in the hall, saved his sister, and then went out. No wonder the people locked in the cell didn't know what was happening outside.
When I came to the cottage outside, I saw this scene of a river of blood.
The rescued hostages covered their mouths and screamed in surprise.
Some even vomited directly.
Chu Ge didn't care and took down the frozen body of the innate warrior from the eaves.
A small jade bottle was found from his body and thrown to Ye Suyu.
Ye Suyu took the jade bottle.
He opened the bottle and put it in front of Qiong's nose for a slight sniff, then his face lit up with joy.
He took out a pill from the bottle and swallowed it directly.
After the medicine was released, the Taoist Qi in Ye Suyu's body became active again, and she regained her fourth-grade Taoist cultivation.
The fourth level of Taoism is the Nascent Soul realm. At the fifth level, the condensed golden elixir is fused with spiritual thoughts and transformed into Nascent Soul, which can frighten the souls of others, and can also fly swords and kill enemies thousands of miles away.
Seeing that Ye Suyu has recovered.
Chu Ge cupped his fists and said, "Now that the Holy Lady has regained her strength, I have other things to do, so I won't stay any longer."
Everyone who was rescued immediately came forward and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me. I don't know your name yet. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you for this great kindness."
Chu Ge's eyes moved slightly, and then he said: "I am Pan An, just a martial arts person who has traveled around the world."
Chu Ge thought to himself.
If you continue like this, you will become a weirdo.
However, I earned a lot of favors this time, which may come in handy in the future.
Looking at Chu Ge who left quickly after saying goodbye again.
