It is no exaggeration to say that the hatred is as deep as the sea. There is no guarantee that the Qin State will not send assassins to assassinate Zhao Kuo, and even Wu Anjun's followers will spontaneously organize revenge against Zhao Kuo.
Although the Tianlao area is considered to be heavily guarded, it may be able to guard against some thieves, but it will never be able to guard against established and large-scale assassins. And once Zhao Kuo was assassinated, he who took Zhao Kuo into the prison would become an accomplice. Not to mention others, the saliva of the people of Handan just now would be enough to drown him.
Immediately, Lord Pingyuan bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo and said, "What Lord Ma Fu said makes sense. If it hadn't been for Lord Ma Fu's reminder, I would have missed a major event. Lord Ma Fu, don't worry. I'll go ask my king for instructions and increase the number of troops to defend this place. I won't let Lord Ma Fu kill him." It’s a dangerous place.”
Obviously Lord Pingyuan also had good intentions. Zhao Kuo was already a bit eye-catching. If his own soldiers were allowed to guard Tianlao, God knows what King Zhao would think. If the King of Zhao can be persuaded to send troops to protect him, it can be regarded as an easing of the relationship between the two.
Zhao Kuo nodded in agreement, but he didn't care in his heart. Will King Zhao agree to increase his troops to protect himself? Even if King Zhao agrees, can the few pieces of materials in the palace stop the Qin army's warriors?
Zhao Kuo expressed doubts: Man! In the end, you still have to rely on yourself.
Then the two people, each with their own thoughts in mind, clasped their hands, saluted each other, and left in separate directions.
No matter how Pingyuan Lord was defeated by King Zhao, Zhao Kuo stepped into the sky prison with just one step.
It is said to be a heavenly prison, but in fact it is a dungeon. Standing at the door and looking back, even though there was a bright bonfire all around, what he could see was only a dozen steps away. A few dozen steps away, the terrain suddenly dropped sharply, but except for a small distance in the front that was still above the ground, almost all the cells were underground. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a "dungeon".
The black cave entrance was like a hungry giant beast, vowing to swallow everyone who could enter the prison door, making everyone who entered shudder.
Turning his eyes back to the front, he saw that the prison chief was waiting at the door with a group of guards. When he saw Zhao Kuo approaching, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word and said, "I have led the 17 jailers of the Heavenly Prison, and one hundred and ten Officer, welcome the general!"
"Welcome General." The jailers below also sang loudly. Immediately, the hall, which was not too big, was filled with people kneeling and shouting.
Zhao Kuo looked at the scene in front of him and was a little surprised. Although Mr. Pingyuan greeted him, it was not so grand. He was here to go to jail! With the size of the reception and the treatment, those who didn’t know it might think they were coming to Tianlao to inspect their work.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo also vaguely understood. The jailer in the heavenly prison said he was eating from the Wang family, but he was actually the bottom among the bottom. When he returned from a great victory over the Qin army, except for those in the clouds, all the other Zhao people would criticize him. Be grateful? ! Thinking about it, even if Mr. Pingyuan didn't say hello, he wouldn't suffer much loss here.
"Get up!" Zhao Kuo ordered calmly.
The leader of the prison cells suddenly stood up, and a hundred people behind him also stood up and consciously made way for Zhao Kuo.
"General, please come with me!" The prison leader bowed his body and pointed the way for Zhao Kuo from the front.
Zhao Kuo nodded and followed the prison leader deep into the dark dungeon.
When you first entered the dungeon, you felt a dark and gloomy feeling. Even if there was a bonfire in front of you, you could only see three or two steps, and the roads on both sides were extremely narrow, barely enough for one person to pass by, and even a slightly fatter one could only pass by. If you can walk slightly sideways, it is absolutely impossible for two people to pass side by side. It is probably a design to prevent prisoners from escaping.
After walking along the long and narrow passage for dozens of steps and passing two intersections, the road suddenly changed from downward to upward. Then, only a dozen steps away, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. A spacious and bright bedroom appeared in front of everyone's eyes, almost blinding everyone who had just adapted to the darkness.
Looking at it, you can see that this is not a cell. It is basically a bedroom. The house is fully equipped with beds, tables and chairs, etc. It is much better than the rooms in ordinary people's homes. The floor, tabletop, and bed surface are all extremely clean. It can almost be said to be spotless. In addition, the afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkles from the several round holes above the head, which contrasts with the several bonfires in the room, and even a little
Beauty.
Where is this "heavenly prison" that scares the people? !
"Is this a prison cell?" Zhao Kuo couldn't help but asked in surprise. Even in any country in the 21st century, there is no such humane prison cell.
"Well, I don't dare to deceive the general. This is the boy's resting place. I heard that the general came and the bedding and other items have been replaced. The general will see if there is anything he is not satisfied with, and the boy will immediately replace it." He replied with a smile on his face. Obviously, the cell leader was quite proud of Zhao Kuo's surprised expression.
"I am a guilty person, and my king's order is to detain me in the dungeon. What you did is not disobeying the king's order!" Zhao Kuo said, pretending to be angry.
The prison boss didn't panic at all when he saw this, and still said with a smile: "Boy, no matter what others think of the general, in the eyes of the boy and his family, general, you are a great hero and a great hero! As for the king's order, the king's order is to detain the general. The dungeon is nice, but this is also a dungeon! Once you get to the dungeon, it’s up to you to decide which room you’ll be locked in.”
"He's quite a talent!" Zhao Kuo showed a rare smile. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me.
Zhao Kuo was also quite satisfied with this cell leader. There are many people who identify with and sympathize with themselves, but few people may speak for themselves. After all, behind everyone is a family. However, there are very few people who can, like the prison chief, not only talk about loving themselves, but also put them into action.
Regardless of the lightness of his words, even without guessing, if the Shangguan knew what the cell leader was doing, especially if Lou Chang and others knew it, they might not dare to blatantly deal with Zhao Kuo, but they would embarrass the cell leader. It was easy. Not to mention other things, it was easy for the prison boss to take off this layer of skin.
And the person who can climb to this position, even though he is at the bottom, must be an all-round master. He will not be ignorant of Zhao Kuo's current uncertain future, nor will he not be unaware that his actions are very likely to be punished like a thunderstorm. The revenge was obviously not something that a little prison boss like him could withstand.
However, he still did this. When everyone was not optimistic about Zhao Kuo, it was obvious that this was not a speculative move, but simply a feeling of admiration.
It can be said that the prison boss once again used his "iron rice bowl" to support Zhao Kuo's dignity and comfort.
"Is it worth it?" Zhao Kuo thought to himself as he looked at the sharp-mouthed prisoner in front of him.
