Chapter 140 The lord, the prisoner of Mount Peinan
"What method?" Mengchangjun asked.
Chen Baiqi looked into his eyes and said solemnly: "In a moment, Huanxian will recite one sentence, and the lord will recite one sentence after me."
"Oh?" Mr. Mengchang also looked at her, suspiciously studying the strangeness in her eyes for a while, and then said in a slow tone: "You say one sentence, and I will read another sentence?"
Chen Baiqi nodded: "The first sentence..."
"Report - Prime Minister, Sun Wu, a guest of Xue Yi Tian Mansion, came to report an urgent message. Someone broke into Tian Mansion Water Prison and robbed the prison the day before yesterday! Now the prisoner has been arrested by the guards of the mansion. Please make a decision, my lord."
Chen Baiqi was interrupted by the sudden sound of gasping from outside the door. After hearing the content of the words, she turned her head with a subtle expression.
"Oh, it seems that he has already arrived before you can invite him." Mengchang Jun looked at Chen Baiqi with a gloomy expression.
Upon hearing this, Chen Baiqi knew who the "him" he was talking about was.
Unexpectedly, the mountain chief still didn't listen to her advice...
Chen Baiqi calmed down and smiled: "Isn't this just in line with my lord's wishes?"
Mengchangjun also laughed when he heard this, walked past her to the door, and saw a person kneeling at the doorstep, it was Jia Sunwu.
This Jia Sunwu man is short and short. He looks like a seven or eight-year-old child, but in fact he is already in his thirties. He is a dwarf.
Although he was a dwarf, he could move faster than the horse, so Lord Mengchang took him under his wing and became a third-class diner. He was responsible for delivering urgent letters and other matters on weekdays.
"I will leave this matter to Chen Langjun. You can go back to Xue Yi with him and follow his arrangements in everything."
Jia Sunwu raised his head and looked at "Chen Huanxian" in surprise. He didn't know "Chen Huanxian", but he had heard of his name in the house because he was the only one who made the three elders and Mr. Su treat him differently.
people.
"Here, little one, listen to your orders."
——
Lord Mengchang had business at court and could not return to Xue Yi, so Chen Baiqi went with Jia Sunwu, and Gou Er and Si Jiang naturally followed her, while Su Fang and others stayed with Lord Mengchang.
Xue Yi was in the territory of Qi State, and the journey was not too far. It only took half a day to reach Xue Yi. Chen Baiqi did not rest for a while, but asked Jia Sun Wu to lead the way to the water prison immediately.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the entrance and exit of the water prison, a group of guards blocked them.
Jia Sunwu immediately stood up, jumped up and said angrily to the guards: "The Prime Minister asked Chen Langjun to handle this matter. Please don't be rude."
The guard ignored Jia Sun Wu, but glanced at Chen Baiqi and asked, "Chen Langjun...is your name Huanxian?"
Chen Baiqi said: "Exactly."
When the guard heard that the person was "Chen Huanxian", his previously cold and "business-like" expression softened a little. He hesitated and said: "Since it was the Prime Minister's order, I wonder if Mr. Chen has proof?"
The prisoners held in this water prison were the prisoners who were designated by Lord Mengchang to pay special attention to. Previously, Mr. Su was fully responsible, which shows how seriously he takes them, so they did not dare to release them easily.
Chen Baiqi was stunned, this...he was walking in a hurry, but he really forgot about this.
Chen Baiqi thought for a while, then he hesitated and said: "It's better to be like this. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any credentials, but I just went to see the prisoners in the water prison and didn't know what to do. And you don't think so when you see me like this."
Like the person who is preparing to rob the prison."
When the guard heard this, his expression was a little strange.
In fact, there are very few people in Xue Yitian Mansion who don't know the name "Chen Huanxian", just because everyone has spread the word about him as a miraculous person, especially the young man's magical power, which is enough to shock adults and make children cry.
Although he does not look like someone who would rob a prison...but he seems to have the ability to rob a prison.
"this……"
After Chen Bai finished speaking softly, he immediately said harshly: "Besides, if I am really the person in charge sent by the Prime Minister to deal with these teachers and students of Yuelu Academy, you are not afraid that the Prime Minister will blame you and others if you are blocking me now.
, but if you let me go in alone, no matter what I say is true or not, it will not affect you."
When the guard heard this, his expression was complicated.
"Okay, let Chen Langjun go in alone..."
The guard glanced at Gou Er and Si Jiang after Chen Bai stood up, as well as Jia Sun Wu next to them.
Chen Baiqi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
The guard hurriedly replied: "No thanks, but we are just fulfilling our duties loyally. I hope Chen Langjun can forgive me."
Chen Baiqi curved his lips and smiled, his face was full of kindness and gentleness, making people look at him like a spring breeze.
"Then Mr. Chen, go and take a look first. I'll go and report to the Third Elder first." Jia Sunwu said angrily.
He was a third-class guest, and usually these guards did not treat him with respect, but now he was the one who took the emperor's orders, and Chen Langjun was also someone close to the prime minister, but he was so neglected. He was naturally dissatisfied and decided to
I will inform San Lao about this in a while.
"Well, after I meet people later, I will also visit the three elders."
After talking to Jia Sunwu, Chen Baiqi said to Si Jiang and Gou Er: "There is nothing to do now, so you can go down and rest."
The guard sent someone to lead Chen Baiqi, and she stepped into the water prison.
To get to Zhishui Prison, you first have to walk down a dark corridor, which gets narrower and narrower as you go down. At the end is the stone staircase. After walking down the stone staircase for about thirty steps, Chen Baiqi could hear the sound of running water.
Apart from that, there was no other sound, and there was only a sense of coldness in the dark and quiet dungeon.
It was very cold underground, and Chen Baiqi felt it as soon as he walked down there. If he stayed in this place for a long time, he would end up in pain even if he was rescued in the end.
She frowned, and suddenly regretted her decision to promise Mengchang to wait until the affairs of the Qin State were completed before releasing him.
There was a dark light under the ground. I don't know where it came from, but basically I couldn't see what it was. However, the person leading Chen Baiqi seemed to have known about this situation and came down with a torch.
With this light, Chen Baiqi could see that there were many pools of different sizes dug into the ground. There were many prisoners locked in the pools, some alive and some dead, some with flesh and blood, some with bones.
Along the way, Chen Baiqi did not check carefully, only glanced at it and put it away. The Yuelu disciples were at the innermost because they were the newest group of people imprisoned in this water prison.
Chen Baiqi paused for a moment, turned around and asked the person leading the way: "I first want to meet the person who robbed the prison."
"yes."
They turned a corner and the guide took her to a water prison with a stone door. This pool was not big and only held one prisoner. The water in this pool was different from what Chen Baiqi had seen before. It was not stagnant water but fluid.
Yes, a torrent rushed from the top, washing away the person whose hands and feet were chained in the pool.
The man only wore a white singlet, without a crown or scarf, and his black hair was messy and soaked, covering his entire face and body. His head was lowered, letting the water hit his back and neck.
, the whole person was silent.
Chen Baiqi's pupils tightened and he asked quickly: "Is there a gate to close this water?"
The person leading the way: "Well, there is..."
"I want to ask him something, please turn off the water first."
The person leading the way seemed to be hesitant: "But..."
"I'll be responsible if something goes wrong. Go quickly!"
The person leading the way saw "Chen Huanxian"'s face turned cold, and his dark pupils seemed to be cold with snow. He suddenly became frightened and said hurriedly: "Oh, okay, okay."
Over there, when the guide turned off the water, Chen Baiqi said to him again: "I want to talk to the people in the water alone."
"this……"
"My name, Chen Huanxian, doesn't even have this little weight, does it?"
"Where, where." The leader immediately sneered and moved out of the stone prison.
Chen Baiqi followed the leader's figure and disappeared behind the stone gate. He turned his head, but he didn't expect that the silent person in the water had quietly opened his eyes at some point. He was looking at her blankly.
"Ai……"
Seeing this, Chen Baiqi sighed and went straight into the water. The water in the pool just reached Chen Baiqi's waist. She paddled through the water and strode to the man's side. She stretched out her hand to tidy up the messy clothes for him.
The hair on his face was exposed, and underneath the hair was a man with pale and purple lips and trembling eyes.
"Mountain Chief, Huanxian didn't send you a message. Huanxian will find a way to solve the problem of Yuelu's disciples. Why do you have to come and suffer like this?" Chen Baiqi said sadly.
"Huan, Huanxian?" He blinked a drop of transparent water on his eyelashes and sighed.
"it's me."
"Chief, you shouldn't have come, let alone come alone..." Chen Baiqi reached out and wiped the water from his face.
"This, this is my responsibility..." He said a few words in a hoarse voice, and then coughed violently: "Cough cough cough..."
Chen Baiqi patted him on the back, and after he calmed down a little, he took out Qi Yi Dan from his system and fed it to him. Although it was not a medicine for relieving coughs and dispelling cold, at least it could preserve some of his vitality after taking it.
"Mountain Chief, Huanxian doesn't want to talk to you anymore. Lord Mengchang promised me that as long as the master and Huanxian go to Qin together to persuade Yingji to make peace with Lord Mengchang, he is willing to let go of Yuelu's disciples."
"..." Chief Peinan lowered his eyes and did not answer for a moment.
Chen Baiqi said: "I know that the mountain chief disdains being associated with Lord Mengchang, but this is just a deal. If you help him once, he will let go of the arrested teachers and students of Yuelu."
"Huanxian, did you persuade him?" Mountain Chief Peinan said suddenly.
Otherwise, why would he have to use him when he has three thousand disciples of Lord Mengchang?
After all, the initiative is now in the hands of Lord Mengchang, and he can use these lives to threaten him to do things, so why make such a "deal" that seems fair but is actually a step back.
Chen Baiqi did not deny: "The mountain chief, Huanxian has recognized him as his lord. There is no room for turning around. Huanxian can neither abandon the mountain chief nor harm the lord, so the mountain chief, Huanxian
We are really in a dilemma among you."
Upon hearing this, Baili Penan raised his eyes and looked at her intently, but said angrily: "Why do you have to choose him...ahem..." He started to cough again when he got excited.
Chen Baiqi really wanted to say some soft words to stop Mr. Pei Nanshan from being angry, but if he took this step back, it would be more difficult to solve the matter in the future.
So she could only say forcefully: "Shan Chief, the reason is no longer important. Huanxian has chosen him and will never change it again."
As soon as these words came out, she was prepared that Baili Penan would be very excited or angry, but unexpectedly, Chief Penan slowly calmed down.
After a long time, he squeezed out a few syllables from his throat and said: "Okay, I agree."
When he heard Baili Penan finally say the word "agree", Chen Baiqi did not feel relaxed, but instead felt a faint sense of distress and guilt.
