Fengri City, Black Flag Camp station, dungeon.
Shen Hao, who had just returned to the station, had no time to go to the public house for a drink of water and went straight to the dungeon. The emperor would come over this afternoon, so the necessary preparations needed to be made. Moreover, Shen Hao had not been here for more than two years, and Shen Hao also had to go around. See what's different from before.
"Is this place full?"
Although the Black Flag Camp prison was quite busy in the past, it has never been so full as it is now. After entering, every cell inside was locked.
Some were hanging on the stone pillars with their heads lowered and motionless, naked and bloody, as if they were dead; some were struggling and shouting, or wailing for mercy, while several ferocious killers were greeting them with various instruments of torture.
"My lord, there are often evil monks coming from outside. The Qianhu Station has been overcrowded, and we are also helping with some interrogations." The person who replied was the cell leader of the dungeon. Wang Yiming was currently around Fengri City. He presided over the task of gathering the soldiers of the Black Flag Battalion and failed to come back.
Continuing forward, the deepest part of the dungeon is where Binji is imprisoned.
Unlike other cells, there is a dedicated person guarding the door of this cell at all times.
Compared with two years ago, Ji Ji's physical condition has not changed much, but she looks a little thinner. She is still locked by the board lock at all times, enduring the torture of years of confinement. I don't know if the Yinxiu who once almost tied the emperor to death regrets his original choice now.
However, Ji Ji is just a tool now. Whether she is miserable or not is her own fault, Shen Hao has no intention to care about it. After he came in, he found a chair and sat down in the cell, closing his eyes and waiting for the emperor's arrival.
About an hour and a half later, the cell leader outside reported that the emperor had disguised himself as a teleportation circle, so Shen Hao waited at the gate of the station.
After taking care of the emperor's disguise and etiquette, Shen Hao led the other party into Fu Ji's cell. Then he opened the covering circle and stood on the edge with his hands tied.
"Huh..." Yang Shu waited for Shen Hao's covering circle, and then his whole body relaxed instantly. He leaned back, as if he was paralyzed, and his face looked tired. He closed his eyes. It's like recuperating.
Shen Hao stood without speaking. Judging from the emperor's appearance, he must have regarded this place as a "leisure place" for complete relaxation. It would not be too late to wait for the emperor to take a breath before getting down to business.
There was silence in the cell for a long time. The emperor's breathing slowly calmed down. He opened his eyes, looked at Shen Hao up and down, and then continued: "I heard that you died. I felt sorry for you for a long time. Many things turned around because of you. Death has hit rock bottom again, which can be described as unsatisfactory.
As a result, two years later, not only did you come back alive, but you also rushed from the seventh level of the Yuan Dan realm to the third level of the Xuanhai realm, causing chaos in Fenghong Villa. I think it won't be long before the entire Jingjiu dynasty's cultivation world will be in a big commotion because of your adventure.
Yang Xiu Sheng said that you are a blessed general. Not only are you blessed with profound blessings, but you can also benefit others. I was hesitant before, but now I am 60% convinced.
If you can really solve the current predicament, then I will recognize you as a "lucky general". From now on, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, I will treat you favorably! "
Just like Shen Hao's impression, Yang Shu still didn't have the habit of chatting with others, so he got straight to the point and got the topic out.
As he spoke, Shen Hao saw the deep helplessness from the emperor. Otherwise, why would he mention the word "Fujiang"? Isn't this just pinning your hopes on misty "luck" when you are completely powerless? At the same time, Shen Hao became more certain about his previous guess.
"Your Majesty, I would like to start with the trip to the underground palace of Wushou City. I hope your Majesty will allow it."
"Okay, let's talk. I have plenty of time today, and I'm curious about what you went through in the underground palace." Yang Shu smiled, looking very relaxed despite his fatigue. Just as Shen Hao thought, he had used this cell as a "leisure place" and would come here to rest for a while whenever he had the chance.
Of course, before coming, Yang Shu had to mentally recall the past when he was deceived by Ji Ji, letting the anger boil in his heart, so as to cover up his true purpose and conceal "Chi" who was always possessing and monitoring him.
Compared with the warm soup of Fu'an Palace, this prison room can completely abandon the pain "Chi" imposed on Yang Shu. It is like isolation, and the pain disappears the moment he steps in.
In the two years since Shen Hao's disappearance, Yang Shu had thought about digging up the prison cell to investigate, but in the end he gave up because he was mainly worried that the digging would be self-defeating and provoke a violent reaction from "Chi". It is not unacceptable to maintain the current accidental situation.
When he received the news that Shen Hao was back alive, Yang Shu was really excited. Regarding his inner plan, Shen Hao was an absolutely important part. Now, "lost and found" naturally rekindled his thoughts. Only two years have passed, and the situation is no longer what it was before. At least Yang Shu had no choice but to place his hopes on the word "lucky general" as Shen Hao guessed.
Shen Hao stood by the side, bent slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, I went to the underground palace this time because I wanted to gain a lot of experience, but I didn't expect to find something very special in the underground palace by chance. The beast should have nothing to do with it..."
It was slowly revealed that this was another story based on Shen Hao's real experience. And it was customized by Shen Hao for the emperor.
Anyway, editing one is editing, and editing another is still editing. The only difference is that the focus of the content is different. Even if you are intentional, it is not inconsistent at all to connect the story Shen Hao compiled for the cultivator and the story he compiled for the emperor. It will make the story more complete.
After a meal, Shen Hao finished speaking, and Yang Shu's face looked uncertain. After being silent for a while, he said: "Do you suspect that the underground palace is the lair of evil beasts?"
"I believe that even if it is not a lair, it is definitely a very important place for evil beasts. Whether it is the stone monster inside or the special palace where I arrived, there are things that look very much like evil beasts as traps. There are even many in the underground palace. There are many dangers, and I thought that all living things except evil beasts were isolated. If evil beasts enter, maybe there will be a different situation from us. "
"You mean that the underground palace was originally prepared for evil beasts? But why did you get such an opportunity this time?" The emperor frowned deeply, feeling that what Shen Hao said was too unbelievable, but at the same time, he felt that it was somewhat different from Shen Hao's actual experience. There is a contradiction.
Shen Hao was naturally prepared and replied: "Your Majesty, although I can't explain why I am so lucky in the underground palace, I always feel that this time I am not just a "chance", but a deliberate arrangement. "
"What's the meaning?"
"I feel that there is someone behind all of this, and I am using him as a bait to seduce someone."
