Chapter 1595: Parade in the streets (1)

Just after dawn, Ji Yuan, who was lying on his side on the straw mat and covered with a smelly and dirty cotton blanket, was awakened by the sound of the door opening.

The voice came from the iron gate at the end of the corridor, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Soon, more than a dozen night watchmen appeared in the field of vision of Ji Yuan and the officials of Yunzhou.

“Get up, I’ll take you guys out to get some sun.”

A copper Gong took out a key and unlocked the chain wrapped around the gate.

Ji Yuan was rudely dragged up by a quiet Gong and roughly pushed out of the cell.

This was the third day he had spent in the night watchman’s dungeon. The dry straw mat and torn quilt had saved his life and prevented him from freezing to death in the cold dungeon.

However, he had been pampered since he was young, so when had he ever suffered like this?

In just two days, his hands and feet were covered in frostbites, his face was blue, his lips were bloodless, and his hair was unkempt.

In the past two days, he had been regretting taking on the role of the peace envoy.

Ji Yuan was knowledgeable and eloquent. These were all genuine talents, but he was a noble young master who lived in luxury and lacked a certain amount of social experience and Jianghu experience.

Having talent did not mean that he could withstand pressure.

The encounter over the past two days, as well as the fear of the future, put him on the verge of an emotional breakdown.

The only hope he had was that he still had value. Xu Qi ‘an would probably not kill him, but use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yunzhou.

It was this hope that kept him going.

It’s good to bask in the sun. I’ll freeze to death sooner or later if. continue to stay in the prison … Ji Yuan walked along the dark corridor in a daze, with more than 20 officials of Yunzhou following behind him.

After leaving the dungeon, the air was cold but clear. The sun was hanging in the sky, bringing a trace of warmth.

Ji Yuan stopped and raised his head, enjoying the feeling of the sun shining on his face.

Tong Gong, who was behind him, kicked him in the butt, causing him to fall to the ground.

Ji Yuan got up with difficulty and cast an angry and aggrieved look at the gong.

“What are you looking at? do you believe I’ll dig out your eyes?”

The copper Gong held the handle of the knife with one hand, and there was no expression on his serious and rigid face.

“Aren’t you very arrogant? you want the minister of rites, the Prime Minister of the court, and the Prince to come out of the city to welcome you before you enter the city?

“Didn’t you reprimand the Dukes in the throne room, suppressing all the officials until they couldn’t raise their heads?

“Didn’t you use a little trick to make the people of the capital doubt the prestige of the Xu ningyan banquet?

“You can continue to be arrogant.”

Ji Yuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

In the future, when Yunzhou conquered the capital, he would personally destroy the night watchmen’s Yamen. These night watchmen who were friends with Xu Qi ‘an would all be executed by a thousand cuts.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked over and swept his eyes across the crowd.

The gongs tidied up their clothes and adjusted the position of the gongs in front of their chests. After confirming that everything was symmetrical and there was no problem, they respectfully said, ”

“Boss,”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and retracted his gaze in satisfaction. He did not look at Ji Yuan, who had unkempt hair and a dirty and wrinkled prison uniform.

“Let’s go, don’t delay the time.”
