Although the name of Tianlao is much more fanciful than ordinary prisons, it is a prison directly controlled by the imperial court in Beijing and is used to imprison people such as the emperor's relatives or government officials.
The techniques that Zhong Xiaokui is good at are suitable for fighting alone. Although they can cause a certain range of group damage, as long as there are enough people on the opposite side, she can be suppressed quickly.
Since being captured, he has been imprisoned in Luoyang Heavenly Prison.
What's interesting is that because Zhu Youzhen was in a bad mood every day, or because he was gambling with someone at that time, many Liang officials were also imprisoned in the sky prison by Zhu Youzhen. Until Liang Jun was defeated and retreated to Luoyang, they were not released, and I don't know if they were forgotten or what.
Therefore, Li Jing's visit to Tianlao this time was not just to see Zhong Xiaokui.
The sky prison was a bit dark, and the light inside was only illuminated by some oil lamps, so it didn't look so lifeless.
Although it had obviously been cleaned, there was still a damp and rancid smell in the air, which was particularly clear in the noses of Li Jing and Kui Mu.
But after all, they both came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, so there was nothing uncomfortable about the smell. The two of them just walked through a dark corridor with the jailer following step by step, and then stopped at a place with only a small In front of the prison cell behind bars.
Although Zhu Wen seized the throne from Li Tang, he nominally accepted the abdication of Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, he continued to implement the Tang system. He established the Dali Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture in Bianzhou and the Dali Temple Prison in Luoyang. The Tianlao is the Dali Temple Prison.
Although the Tang army took control of Luoyang, only the high-ranking Zhu Liang officials were purged. This jailer had served Zhu Wen for several years.
Therefore, this jailer, who was over forty years old, shed tears of gratitude towards the notorious King of Qin and bowed to the ground.
Therefore, the old jailer hung his hands in front of his belly, bowed slightly, personally took the key from the jailer next to him, and opened the iron door.
"Your Majesty, Zhong Xiaokui has been locked up here these past few days..."
There was no expression on Li Jing's face, but there was a gentle look on his face, which made everyone around him feel at ease. Under the guidance of the jailer, he lifted up the clothes on his lower body and walked in. Inside the prison cell.
As for Kui Mu, he just stood at the door with his face covered and holding a knife. His one-armed and indifferent look made all the jailers feel uncomfortable getting close to him, so they retreated.
Due to the special status of Kui Mu, he has never been given any official position, but in fact, in the eyes of everyone, he is equivalent to Li Jing's personal attendant, similar to the general of the Jinwu Guard.
In fact, this is Li Jing's arrangement for the Jaundice clan. In the future, a department similar to the Jin Yiwei can be established, with Kui Mu as the leader, and so on.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After Li Jing stepped into the prison room, he glanced at the equipment in the prison room.
It's not big, only about ten square meters at most. After all, it's a place where officials at all levels are detained, so it doesn't look that shabby. But except for a small window on the iron door and a small window with bars on the wall, there is no device to see the outside.
The floor was quite tidy, not as damp as expected, but a little depressing.
There was a small bed, and on it sat Zhong Xiaokui, whose hands were bound.
At this moment, the red hat on her head was also taken off, her hair fell down, and she looked a little embarrassed.
When she heard the sound of someone walking in, she didn't even raise her head, she just lowered her head indifferently and looked at the floor.
When she realized that this person seemed to have been focusing on her, she raised her head slightly without emotion, with a cold look on her face.
Li Jing folded her hands on her chest, with a very interesting expression on her face.
"The one hundred thousand Liang Jun that Mr. Zhong said back then is no longer there anymore..."
There was teasing in his voice, and just for a moment, Zhong Xiaokui's slightly stunned expression turned green and white.
At that time, Li Jing said that he would let her watch the fall of Luoyang with her own eyes, but she never thought that Zhu Youzhen would be driven out of Luoyang in just two days.
Is Zhu Youzhen a waste, or is this person too powerful?
Zhong Xiaokui closed her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and leaned against the wall.
"The King of Qin came to see me for more than just making fun of me. The King of Qin is so brave, but I lost."
Li Jing chuckled lightly. There were no chairs in the prison cell. A low table was placed on the small bed. He could only watch Zhong Xiaokui sitting on the small bed.
"I am very curious as to why the Ghost King has not been with Zhu Youzhen for so long since he was resurrected. At this time, he must not be able to find where the Longquan treasure is. Moreover, I am also curious about how long it took for you to be planted by him. By Zhu Youzhen’s side.”
Zhong Xiaokui raised her head, remained silent for a moment, and looked at the boots on Li Jing's feet.
"Zhu Youzhen once pretended to give up the throne to the Ghost King, but the Ghost King was obsessed with martial arts and did not value these powers that much. He believed the black and white impermanence and went to find that Li Xingyun..."
"And the reason why I am by Zhu Youzhen's side is already a few years ago. At that time, the four great zombie ancestors left the Xuanming Sect, and the Ghost King could only know how to practice the Nine Nether Xuantian Divine Skills, so he asked me to stay with Zhu Youzhen. Stay around to observe the changes in the Xuanming Sect."
"But after that, the Ghost King was imprisoned by Emperor Hades using despicable means, and I stayed by Zhu Youzhen's side..."
Li Jing nodded slightly. Now, Zhong Xiaokui no longer had anything to hide.
I think she has been loyal to the Ghost King for many years, but she has always endured the humiliation and burden by Zhu Youzhen's side. Now that the Ghost King was born, she was still in this situation. In my heart, I must still be somewhat resentful.
But judging from her mind and the thought of returning to the Xuanming Sect after the death of the Ghost King and Zhu Youzhen, she is a rare talent.
"Although you are no threat or obstacle to me, you are still a person who can cause harm to one party. It is impossible for me to let you go like this. But there are two ways for you to choose. .”
Zhong Xiaokui raised his head and just smiled miserably, not sure if it meant sadness or something else.
She originally felt that she could no longer live.
At this moment, she saw Li Jing take out a black pill with a white moire edge from his arms.
"Either, take the identity of Zhong Kui and go down below to meet Zhu Wen and Zhu Yougui. Or, change the identity of the Xuanming Sect and change the way of life..."
The expression on Li Jing's face remained unchanged, and she just handed the pill forward.
Speaking of which, Zhong Xiaokui can cooperate with Kui Mu, as they are both good at walking at night.
Zhong Xiaokui hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Li Jing.
"Is there any different way to live in this world?"
Li Jing looked indifferent and chuckled: "Please take a closer look, this world will not continue to be chaotic after all."
"First Evolution"
Zhong Xiaokui looked at Li Jing's expression and hesitated for a moment before finally taking the pill from Li Jing's hand and swallowing it without hesitation.
She jumped out of the bed instantly and knelt neatly on one knee on the ground.
"Subordinate Zhong Xiaokui, please see Your Highness."
