There are many masters around Luo Xiuran, and he himself is also highly skilled in martial arts, so he will not be unable to escape. He often does dangerous business, and if he doesn't leave a way out, that's not who he is.
There must be another purpose for me to save him.
"It can't be a trap." I burned the note.
"I'm worried that he is using you. The so-called completion of the plan is just a facade or a cover-up."
"It is indeed possible. He and...my boss are two very different people."
Therefore, those who are short-sighted cannot guess what they are thinking at all. I consider myself to be short-sighted, so I will not try to figure out his thoughts and just do it directly. Anyway, he wants to kill me.
We currently have a "cooperative" relationship. If he needs support, I will go there. Lu Youkang is still in his hands.
Yun Zhou wanted to go with me, but I advised him to stay and take good care of Sun City.
Sun City is a big piece of meat. Someone wants to use me to distract Yunzhou's energy. It is not impossible to raid Sun City.
Everyone knows that his weak spot is me, and whoever can control me can contain him.
We cannot allow the situation to happen.
Yunzhou had no choice but to stay and look after the family. War was about to break out, and Sun City also needed to be prepared. As the clan leader and city lord, it would be difficult for him to escape at this time.
I just lament that there are no mobile phones and the Internet in this world. Calling and video chatting at any time are delusional.
Yun Zhou secretly sent me out of the city. He wanted to send a team of guards to escort me, but I refused.
I only brought two secret guards from the Southern generation, and no one else.
Yunzhou chose a thousand-mile horse for me, hoping that I would go and return quickly.
Luo Xiuran was imprisoned in the capital prison of Shengyu Kingdom. He was a county king and a relative of the emperor, so he should be imprisoned in a cell with better conditions. However, according to the tip, he was imprisoned in the 'Beast Prison'.
The animal prison is not a zoo, it is also a place for prisoners, but it is a place for death row prisoners. The guards treat the prisoners as animals and love to watch them kill each other for a bone.
Luo Xiuran's enemies really hated him.
The prisoners in the animal prison hate those in power the most.
I rushed to Shengyu Country as fast as I could, fearing that he would be eaten alive by the prisoners if I was too late.
He was poisoned and couldn't use his internal strength, so he could only be beaten in prison.
After a long journey, I arrived at Shengyu Country. As its name suggests, it rains frequently all year round.
I entered the city in a drizzly evening, and it started pouring rain at night.
When I arrived, there was only one room left in the inn. Another guest came in at the same time as me. Seeing that we were both young women, the manager suggested that we share a room.
We all refused in unison, but the girl first said that she was not alone, there were three of them, and it was not convenient for her girl to live with others.
The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully and said that the remaining room could only accommodate two people at most, so the woman left to find another place to stay.
She has martial arts skills and dresses like a maid from a small family, but she doesn't have the same aura.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically led the way and sent me upstairs. When I arrived in the room, he was still introducing local specialties and the restaurant's signature dishes.
I ordered food and asked him to buy some specialties on my behalf, and he sent a waiter to bring hot water. After that, I rested in the room and waited until they all fell asleep before jumping out of the window.
The advantage of a rainy night is that it can cover up some sounds, but the disadvantage is that there are wet footprints when entering the house.
But I can work around this problem if I'm the only one doing it.
I stood at the door of the prison, looking at the guard who fell to the ground and the crack in the cell door. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go in.
I calculated the time for the guards to change their shifts. They should have just finished changing their posts, and there were still two hours until the next change of guard.
Luo Xiuran was locked up here, and there couldn't be only two guards in the animal prison.
But there are only two of them at the moment, so...is this really a trap?
The journey into the prison was smooth, and all the guards in the prison were stunned.
The animal prison has no layers or partitions. It is a basin-shaped space with the bottom of the basin seven meters above the edge.
Food is thrown down from above, and there is a sewer ditch below. The prisoners are sent down with ropes. No jailer will go down. If someone dies, they still tie the ropes to pull them up.
As for the sick and injured prisoners, they can only wait to die below.
Sometimes prisoners were so hungry that they would eat people.
The walls of the basin-shaped cells were covered with oil, and prisoners were searched before entering. They were not allowed to take anything with them, and no one could climb out with bare hands.
Moreover, the jailers would patrol frequently. If they saw someone trying to escape from the prison, they would scatter fire powder and set fire to anyone with oil on their body.
When the fire powder falls on the ground, it will not expire for a long time, so the prisoners stay far away from the wall because they don't want to get oil and turn into human candles.
There is no light in the basin-shaped cell all year round. Only when the jailer sees them killing each other will they light a torch.
At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the prison, the jailer was staggering around, and a woman stood above the basin-shaped cell, calling Luo Xiuran's name.
What she called was 'Luo Xiuran' and 'Azhe', one was his given name and the other was his nickname.
The original boss also shouted a few times, but he was unhappy and stopped shouting.
Luo Xiuran has no sisters, his mother is an only child, and there are not many female relatives who can come to save him.
I stopped in the jailer's rest area, released the air wire and went down to the cells, and checked one by one, and found that Luo Xiuran was not here.
The prisoners below are all masters of martial arts, and their physical condition is not like that of starving prisoners.
This is really a trap!
I'm not sure who the person who set the trap wanted to catch, me or the woman who came in first.
The masters in the basin-shaped cell, disguised as prisoners, yelled at her to shut up, saying that the kid who had just been locked up had already had his hands and feet broken and thrown into the sewer ditch to eat his shit.
The woman above could not hear this. Her worry was clearly expressed in the calls.
When she heard how miserable 'Luo Xiuran' was, she immediately went to save him.
There were two women beside her, who stopped her in time and said that because of her status, she must not go down and just let them go down.
By the light of the fire, they saw that there was indeed a person very similar to Luo Xiuran lying in the sewer ditch below.
The man was disheveled, with messy hair covering his face, his limbs were limp and weak, and his body was covered in blood. He was lying in the filth, his breath was weak, and he looked like he might die at any time.
"Azhe!" the woman shouted in distress.
Since Luo Xiuran was not here, there was no need for me to stay any longer and I quickly exited the prison.
As soon as I reached the gate, I suddenly stopped.
There were many people outside the door, and they had already surrounded the prison.
Someone suddenly knocked open the cell door, and I had nowhere to hide for a while, so I had to look directly at the person.
The cell door was unobstructed, and there was an empty corridor behind me. There was no way to avoid it, so I had to face the difficulty.
"You are indeed here, Saint Aunt." Someone outside the door spoke first.
At first glance, I thought he recognized my identity.
After thinking about it again, that’s not right, I am a demon aunt, not a holy aunt!
Now if you want to say that I am not, it must be related to my true identity.
It's easier to assume someone else's identity right now.
"This is a trap." I opened my mouth to test, wanting to see if the other party really knew the saint aunt he was talking about.
If they know each other, they can tell the authenticity by listening to the sound.
"Yes, a trap specially prepared for you." The other party said proudly, obviously not hearing the truth.
"It's rough." I clapped my palm and used my inner strength to knock away several people blocking the road in front of me.
People followed them and moved out of the door. There were people outside the door. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. Some were holding high torches, and some were holding bows, arrows, swords and guns.
"Don't misunderstand Holy Aunt. We are here to invite Holy Aunt to be a guest in the palace and use Luo Xiuran as a bait... It is really because it is too difficult to invite Holy Aunt that we came up with this strategy." The person who spoke raised his hands and saluted. , with a respectful attitude and a sincere smile on his face.
He is the youngest son of King Shengyu, and he comes to 'invite' people in person. The person who is inviting guests must have a higher status than him.
Lord Shengyu was unconscious. At this time, the only people with higher status than the young prince were those few people.
"Where is Luo Xiuran?" Since he was pretending to be a saint, he had to speak according to the saint's ideas.
"The county king has a noble status, how can he be locked up in such a filthy place."
"I need to see others first, otherwise there will be no need to talk."
"Holy Aunt, please come with me."
The youngest prince of Shengyu Kingdom is also twenty-four this year.
The eldest prince is about to become a grandfather. Their prince is the tenth among the brothers and is the son of the most favored Concubine Li.
The original queen couldn't survive the emperor and passed away in middle age. Sheng Yu's post remained vacant until Concubine Li, who had an all-powerful beauty, entered the palace.
Her path to promotion was like riding a rocket. Although she was not named queen, the concubine managed the Sixth Palace on behalf of the queen. In terms of power, she was no different from the queen.
Anyway, there was no one above her, so the first son she gave birth to was named the prince.
The old monarch was obsessed with her, but although he was obedient to her on the surface, the person he truly trusted behind the scenes was Luo Xiuran.
Luo Xiuran only listened to the old monarch's orders, and the information collected was not shared with her or the prince.
Luo Xiuran remained unmoved whether it was bribery or inducement that led the prince to become enemies with him.
It seems that he is only loyal to the old monarch, but I know that he has his own plans in mind.
Being with people who are too narrow-minded is troublesome. You can't fight but you can't, so you can only solve it by force.
The little prince was also born to Concubine Li, and was the prince's biological brother from both father and mother.
He led me to the door of an ordinary house in the city.
There are a large number of masters hidden in private houses. He knocks on the door and uses secret codes, and also exchanges verbal secret codes with the person who opens the door.
The other party opened the door and invited us in. There was a secret passage in the house.
Who would have thought that the house in this place is so ordinary.
All the masters were in the house, and there was only an old man and an old woman in the courtyard busy with their own affairs.
Luo Xiuran was locked in the dark room at the end of the secret passage, or the ice room.
All the walls inside were made of ice. The cold was so intense that Luo Xiuran's internal energy was locked. It was a miracle that he didn't freeze to death here.
It was colder than a modern cold storage. Luo Xiuran sat cross-legged in the center of the ice prison.
"You want him to freeze to death?" I pretended to be angry.
"Don't worry, holy aunt, you won't die from the cold. The prince has a special constitution and can withstand extreme cold."
"Oh? Extreme cold?"
"This will only consume his physical strength and will not endanger his life to prevent him from escaping."
"Then how do I know he's not dead?"
"Aunt Saint can go in and check."
What I wanted was this sentence. The guard opened the ice door. I walked in and squatted down in front of Luo Xiuran.
I raised my hand to hold his shoulders and injected healing energy into his body.
I was actually checking to see what was special about his constitution.
I have never heard the original boss or himself say this before.
I checked his body and found that his constitution was indeed very strange. In such a cold environment, his life was not in danger.
It's like entering a state of hibernation.
I wanted to treat him to prolong his life, but now I have stopped.
Only the healing energy remained in his body.
I walked out of the ice prison and nodded to the little prince, indicating that I had confirmed that Luo Xiuran was still alive.
The little prince smiled slightly and said, "Now, can the holy aunt follow me into the palace to be a guest?"
"lead the way."
I wanted to run away halfway because I was not a saint at all.
Just because the little prince doesn't know me, it doesn't mean that the guests in the palace don't know me.
There is a risk of being exposed after entering the palace, and it will take some effort to escape.
There was a carriage parked outside the courtyard, and the little prince asked me to get in.
I sat in the car and was thinking about how to escape.
"Please rest assured, Holy Aunt, we will never harm you."
The little prince and I were sitting in a car, staring at me face to face.
"What you want me to do is very big." To 'invite' someone so politely, what you are asking for must be very big.
"For Saint Aunt, it's just a small matter."
I wanted to run away, but after hearing what he wanted, I became interested and kept talking to him all the way.
I don't know the woman who went to rescue Luo Xiuran, and I haven't heard of a person like the Holy Aunt in any country or world.
From the little prince's words, I found out that the holy aunt came from overseas and was a descendant of some immortal family.
The one in Shengyu Palace wanted to find the best wife for the prince.
In the past, no girl looked down on him, so the prince never married a concubine. He only had a lot of maids in side rooms, concubines, and maids.
No need to ask, the person hosting the guests must be Concubine Li.
She wanted to marry the prince to a holy aunt from the overseas immortal clan.
But this clan of immortals never intermarry with outsiders.
Even if there are one or two aliens, they are still ordinary tribesmen.
The reason why a holy aunt is called a holy aunt is that she must never marry for the rest of her life.
To protect some sacred relic, it sounds more like a gatekeeper to me.
Anyway, you have to watch it for a lifetime, and you can't be distracted by other things.
The noble concubine wants to improve their family's genes, but ordinary girls will not look down on her no matter how good they are.
She took a fancy to the immortal physique and wanted her prince son to marry an immortal wife and go home.
The question is how do they know about the existence of the Holy Aunt?
After all, it is still the problem of the Holy Aunt herself.
She went out to do errands, met Luo Xiuran, fell in love with Luo Xiuran, and wanted to marry him.
When I heard this, I called him "good guy" and a big pot of dog's blood was poured out. I couldn't show my surprise.
The holy aunt fell in love with Luo Xiuran!
What a big melon~
Her move undoubtedly told people that she could win the hearts of ordinary people and marry ordinary people.
Never marrying is just an excuse to reject suitors.
If you can marry a prince, why can't you marry a prince?
I think it's normal for the imperial concubine to have such thoughts.
It was just that Luo Xiuran rejected her proposal, which made her fall deeper into the trap, almost to the point where she couldn't extricate herself.
What you can’t get is the best? I don't understand.
She calls Luo Xiuran 'Azhe'. The relationship between the two must be very close...
At least that's how it looks from my perspective.
I suddenly felt a little angry, of course I was angry for my original boss.
But then I thought about it, it was hard to say how deep Luo Xiuran's feelings were for his original boss, and besides, his original boss was dead.
He even returned the jade token given by his boss, which probably ended the relationship completely.
They are not husband and wife, and they have not made a life-and-death vow to stay together.
Couples also have the right to remarry after being widowed.
Therefore, I really have no position and ask Luo Xiuran to remain single, just because his original boss loves him deeply.
The little prince said that as long as the holy aunt agreed to marry the prince, they would release Luo Xiuran immediately, but it was necessary to demote him to a commoner, and they would not take his life and let him live freely.
When the true saint aunt hears this, she will probably agree.
After all, she loved Luo Xiuran, and at this critical moment when his life was endangered, she had to agree even if it was just a pretense.
