Chapter 1 (1/2)
Abyss magic prison is located in the territory of Nanyuan Prefecture.
The devil's prison goes deep into the earth, like a giant beast's mouth, trying to devour everything around it.
There is no light in prison all the year round. It's dark and humid. The lower it goes, the darker the light is, and the colder it gets. The deepest part of the prison is dripping water into ice. You can't see your fingers. Even if you light a candle, it gives you a feeling of despair that you will be engulfed by the darkness around you at any time.
At this moment, a sharp and thin voice, intermittently, came from the deepest part of the magic prison along the dark corridor, like the wild ghost crying at night and the cuckoo crying blood, which was creepy.
”The emperor decreed that
”The prince came to the East Palace and granted amnesty to the whole world...”
”Chu Yan, a prisoner of crime, restored his status as Prince... Went to Persia... And made peace with his relatives...”
”Start tomorrow...”
”Here you are...”
After reading the imperial edict, the eunuch looked haughtily at the young man with his arms suspended by the iron chain in front of him, and said with a smile: ”Your Highness, I really congratulate you. You should have been executed late for committing the crime of treason. A year later, you can still be pardoned. I envy your good luck.”
It's a compliment and admiration to call your highness, but even a fool can hear the sarcasm and irony in the words.
”Oh? Is that right? ” In the dark, Chu Yan lowered his head, his long hair fell down and covered his cheek, which made people can't see his expression clearly, but it didn't prevent his voice from saying, ”why do I conspire against Wu Xiaoming, Duke Wu, don't you know very well?”
”What did you say? Shut up Eunuch Wu Xiaoming, whose real name was Wu Xiaoming, suddenly changed his face and looked like a cat with its tail trampled on. He jumped up and screamed. At the same time, he looked at the prison guards and bodyguards who came with him, for fear that they might find something.
Chuyan Chuyan chuxiao, light mouth: ”I six years old into Zhenwu territory, in Qingcheng Mountain unarmed, killed 26 wolves, to ensure the safety of the people.”
”When I was eight years old, I entered Zhenwu territory. In Luoyue Valley, I killed three bandit villages with one sword and one person, and killed 760 black wind bandits. From then on, I opened up the northwest business road of Nanyuan Prefecture and benefited thousands of families.”
”When he was 11 years old, he entered the Zhenwu area of Sanzhong, one person and one shot, calmed down the rebellion of Lijin in Northwest China, and killed a total of 3418 soldiers. From then on, the Nanyuan Prefecture had no internal worries, and the whole world was pacified. At that time, he was canonized as the crown prince.”
”When he was 14 years old, he went to Sizhong of Zhenwu, where the border was full of smoke. He led the army of tiger and Wolf of Nanyuan prefecture to resist the enemy outside the gate of the country, captured the flag and killed the general. Then he went northward, defeated the four armies of Persia, killed 300000 enemies, attacked the capital city of Persia, forced the emperor to abdicate, and took the initiative to become a minister.”
”I'm 16 years old this year. I can still live after treason. As my father-in-law said, I'm really lucky.”
During this period, Wu Xiaoming pale face, countless times Li drink, let Chu Yan shut up, but his sharp drink scold, in front of the light voice and tone of Chu Yan, but like a mantis blocking the car, has no effect at all.
With the narration of Chu Yan, Wu Xiaoming's face became more and more ugly.
When the voice of Chu's words fell, the needles could be heard in the cell.
Although he is still chained, wearing a thin and worn-out prison uniform, and one year's imprisonment has led to his emaciation, at the moment, he has a fierce tiger like momentum, which makes everyone in the cell unable to move!
Wu Xiaoming's face was more and more ugly, his chest was fluctuating violently, and his eyes were full of panic and confusion. He stammered: ”Chu Yan, don't talk nonsense. I think I'm afraid of you when I've restored my status as the prince. You're the one who committed crimes, rebelled and raped the court...”
Wu Xiaoming's words have not been finished. Chu Yan, who had been drooping his head before, suddenly looked up at him.
A pair of eyes, bright as stars, deep as night, in an instant, it seems to illuminate the deepest cage of this magic prison.
The look in his eyes was like a blade forcing his throat. In an instant, Wu Xiaoming was almost out of breath.
In a flash, the fear turned into an incomparable cold, like lightning, crackling up along Wu Xiaoming's spine, which made his blood coagulate and his hands and feet cold.
”I'm supported by all the people, respected by all the courtiers and respected by no one in the army. I've long been canonized as the crown prince. Sooner or later, the throne will be mine. Under such circumstances, why should I kill the monarch, kill my father, and seek to usurp the throne at the celebration banquet of the victory of the army and the return of my teachers. Wu Xiaoming, don't you know why? ”
The last sentence is no longer a question, but a sharp drink. If the spring thunder blows, in an instant, Wu Xiaoming and all the people present are buzzing in their ears and in a trance.
