Chapter 523: The Darkness Before Dawn
Feng Xiaoxiao and his entourage were tied up with flowers, sealed and hooded, and circled around Li Xiuning's prisoner car and detained along the street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yi Luoxian was also ready to break the tendons and tendons of several people, and abolish the martial arts, in order to make everything perfect, but he was cautious by the words of the concubine, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he only added heavy handcuffs and shackles to a few people.
Concubine Xuan just hoped that Shang Xiuqi would offend Feng Xiaoxiao, but she didn't dare to let Feng Xiaoxiao really suffer anything, so she stopped her by saying a word: "If you don't know us, why don't you send someone to the 'Charm Sect' to ask Mei Niangzi?" ā
Jinhuan's real nickname is "Mei Niangzi", but she hasn't walked in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years before, and very few people know it, and the "Mei Xingzong" to which she belongs, only a very few people have heard of it, and the second door of Buddhism has long dared not show its head, and now only the people in the demon gate know the true origin of Jinhuan.
Yiluo is a member of the Charm Sect, although she relies on the favor of the Empress Shang, so that she is bold, but she does not dare to offend her sect master and top boss, if these people are also from the Demon Sect, they can only go to the Empress Shang to deal with it, she will never dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, there are many masters in the palace, and the internal guards are even more heavily guarded, and I don't know how many royal relatives, nobles, princes, ministers and door lords have been detained in the black prison that never sees the light of day. Iroh didn't believe that a few people in this area could go to heaven.
If they really look like the people of the Holy Gate, and they still have any friendship with Jinhuan, Ilo naturally does not want to be offended in death, and everything needs to be found out.
However, for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Yiluo didn't care so much, she was annoyed that the two of them had caused her a lot of trouble, so that the trip was delayed, so whipping feet was indispensable.
Before entering the palace, the clothes on the two of them became very tattered, and the red and swollen whip marks were staggered on their backs, and they were bruised one after another, but they could not hide the sturdy tiger's back and bear's waist.
The two of them were gagged, and they couldn't scream even if they were in pain, but seeing that the two of them were walking steadily and their bodies were not even shaking, they knew that they didn't care about the pain at all.
Yiluo felt that it was boring, gritted his teeth and sneered: "I'll let you know later, this girl has really never seen a tough guy in her life, the guy who dared to pretend to be a tough guy last time was fiddled with by me for three days, and finally even his wife and daughter agreed to sacrifice it to please the jailer, just begging people to let him die quickly, hum!" Want to die? It's so cheap! ā
As she spoke, she glanced at Song Yuzhi with a smile, and said with a smile: "That person's name is Song Jie, I heard that he was Princess Anping's henchman and guard?" He admires the princess very much! It's a pity that Miki revealed his true nature and blasphemed the princess a lot, which was a big rebellion and deserved to be punished. ā
Song Yuzhi's footsteps stopped immediately, her delicate body trembled, the shackled iron chains choked, and the black cover covering her head revealed tears.
"Let's go!" The horse-riding knight who was escorting her showed no pity, and raised her hand to pull the rope that bound her, and immediately killed her delicate neck, strangled red marks, and forced her to stagger away.
After entering the palace from the northwest side gate, there is no wide road, only a gloomy stone brick road, the wall is high and the road is narrow, the wall color is old like dried blood, and there are no flowers and trees all the way, except for the stone is the wall, even the sunlight that shines directly in, as if it exudes a chill.
Naturally, horses were not allowed to be ridden in the palace, except for the carriage where Li Xiuning was imprisoned, everyone walked.
After a few more heavily guarded gatehouses, the eyes suddenly widened, the right is the Xuanwu Gate, this Xuanwu Gate is not the Xuanwu Gate of Chang'an, it is the north gate of the palace city of Luoyang City, "Xuanwu" refers to the god of the north since ancient times, representing the location of the north, so the north gate of the ancient capital is mostly named after "Xuanwu".
The name is the same, and its importance is the same as that of the North Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an, where heavy troops are stationed and responsible for the security of the inner palace.
Ilo and his party were flying outside in a hurry, but here they became especially cautious, lest they keep their heads down enough.
An old man with a hooked nose stood on the Xuanwu Gate and asked with a smile: "Who has the Yijian School arrested?" "Inspector, temporary! Therefore, no matter how strong the wind is, it is just a vine climbing on the big tree of Shang Xiuqi, and Shang Xiuqi can decide to stay in life and death with a word.
As soon as the hook-nosed old man spoke, Shi Fei Xuan and the others knew the identity of this person, who was the first master of the Yuwen Valve, and the owner of the Valve, Yuwen was injured. Only Feng Xiaoxiao hasn't met with him, so it's not clear.
Yuwen Valve has always had a secret relationship with the Demon Gate, especially with the Yin Sect, and he has been secretly in constant contact, just seeing that Yuwen Shui can now guard the most important Xuanwu Gate in the palace, he knows that Shang Xiuqi trusts him very much.
Yiluo saluted respectfully and said: "The lord said that he laughed, the last general is just an ant-like figure, without the queen mother's decree, how dare he take people at will?" ā
Yuwen didn't care too much about the black-covered prisoners under the city gate, but just looked at Li Xiuning in the prisoner car, and when he saw her miserable appearance, he couldn't help but stop talking, and finally sighed, didn't make a sound, waved his hand impatiently, and signaled Yiluo to get out quickly.
The four major valves of the Central Plains, in addition to the Song valve's almost paranoid adherence to the bloodline, Li Valve, Yuwen Valve, and Dugu Valve, are frequently married, and they are all relatives of each other.
Li Xiuning is Yuwen's niece and granddaughter, he saw that the noble princess in the past was now beaten to the dust, bullied, and embarrassed, and naturally felt uncomfortable. However, after the matter was about business, he didn't dare to say more.
Yiluo did not enter the Xuanwu Gate, but instead led the prisoner car to the left through Yaoyi City, and entered the internal guard death row in Yuanbi City.
This is the emperor's private prison, once you enter, you will never recover, Shang Xiuqi has turned this place into a hell on earth, but in just a few years, this gloomy place has become even more gloomy, every inch of dirt and walls, oozing with ghosts, screams and blood.
Ilo had some scruples, so after putting Feng Xiaoxiao and the others on death row, he specially instructed them to be kind to them for the time being, and then left in a hurry.
It is also due to her bad luck, she only remembered to invite merit, and did not go to Jin Huanzhen first, but directly entered the forbidden palace and returned to her life after looking for business.
Shang Xiuqi was resting behind the beaded curtain, and the reflection of the swaying beads and stones was hazy, so that outsiders could only see her lazy and leaning graceful figure.
Irofu knelt on the ground, trembling and bowing back, but there was not a sound in the curtain.
Silence is an invisible pressure, especially when your life and death are in the hands of others, only in the minds of people, this kind of pressure will make people gradually break out in a cold sweat and be full of fear.
The person inside the curtain suddenly stood up and asked, "A man and a woman with Song Yuzhi and Dugufeng...... What is your identity? What does it look like? ā
Seeing that Shang Hou, who had always seemed to be careless about everything, Yiluo seemed to be suddenly excited, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly lowered his body, touched his head to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Slave maid is not ...... I don't know ......."
Although she didn't dare to raise her head, she immediately felt that Empress Shang was staring at her coldly, which made her feel cold, and hurriedly said: "The slave only heard Kou Zhong call his uncle ......"
With a soft bang, Shang Hou seemed to be unsteady on her feet, knocked over the teacup, and sat back on the couch.
