Chapter 548: Prisoners

Gently holding the Yao Qin in front of her, Ye Jing'er sighed softly and said to Gao Yuan beside her: "Brother, this is indeed the instrument that Sister Ning has always carried with her." I heard from Zhang Yi that when the Ning family was ransacked that day, Sister Ning could only carry this harp out of the house alone. But now, she actually left this harp that was the only one she missed. "Send it to me, she, I'm afraid she will die because of her cuteness."

Gao Yuan didn't know much about Ning Xin. In his mind, the impression this woman gave him was her elegant temperament, which was indeed unique.

"That's not necessarily true." He shook his head, "According to Zhang Yi, Ning Xin actually had someone to take her in and protect her in Jicheng. This means that Tan Feng was not able to uproot Ning's power. It’s a question worthy of consideration. I think Ning Xin’s decision not to leave Jicheng is not because of her ambition, but because she wants to do something.”

"As a daughter, she has no power to tie a chicken, so what can she do? How can she be a match for someone like Tan Feng?" Ye Jing'er said sadly: "If she really wants to do something, I'm afraid it will be an egg. If you touch a rock, you may become Tan Feng's prisoner if you show your head!"

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "You can't say that. If Ning Xin really still has power in Jicheng, she is not without the power to fight back. She does not have the power to restrain a chicken, but as long as she has a brain, it is enough! "Gao Yuan pointed to his head.

"If she really wants to do something, what would it be?" Ye Jing'er asked worriedly: "Brother, your brain is very flexible, can you think of what she wants to do?"

"This is a bit difficult!" Gao Yuan laughed, "If I were in her situation, the most likely possibility would be to assassinate her. Even if Ning still has some strength, it is not enough to cause a big storm, but assassination This kind of thing is possible for a third-rate soldier. You must know that Tan Feng has a high position and has countless things to do. It is impossible to keep an eye on her. If she has enough patience, it is not impossible to succeed. You know, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days.”

"You are not allowed to call Sister Ning a thief. Tan Feng is the thief!" Ye Jing'er said dissatisfied.

Gao Yuan laughed and stroked Ye Jing'er's hair. "The dispute between Ning and Tan Feng is not a personal grudge. Jing'er, political battles are so cruel. I don't want to take sides, I just want you to know that Ning has Ning's thoughts, and Tan Feng has Tan Feng." There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. If one party lives, the other party will die. It was very rare for Tan Feng to let Ning Xin go when he ransacked the house. "

"You actually said that about Tan Feng. He almost killed you, and also killed how many of our soldiers and people?" Ye Jing'er looked at Gao Yuan. Rolled his eyes.

"One code equals another. This person is our enemy, but that doesn't mean he is a bad person. It's just a different stance.

"Gao Yuan sighed, "To be honest, I still have some sympathy for this person. He is a talent, but it is a pity that he has become my enemy. One day, we will have to fight with swords. "

"Brother, please find a way to bring Sister Ning out of Jicheng. I can't imagine what will happen to a weak woman like her if she falls into their hands." Ye Jing'er grabbed Gao Yuan's sleeves and raised her head. , begged.

Gao Yuan nodded, "Okay, since you have always wanted to do this, I will arrange for Tianci and Zhang Yi to find some solutions, but this is not an easy task. The most important thing is whether Ning Xin is willing to leave, do her best, and obey fate. How's that?"

Ye Jing'er nodded happily, "Brother is so powerful, as long as you are willing to do it, there is no reason why you can't do it!"

Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head. How could it be so easy? Thinking back to when he was in Jicheng, didn't he escape from a narrow escape? Moreover, Tan Feng's move was obviously to force Ning Xin out. There may be something fishy about it. Since Tan Feng is paying attention to this matter, it may not be easy to complete it.

The best way is for Ning Xin to stay still and hide herself firmly. After a while, Tan Feng returns without success. He may not pay more attention to this matter, but the problem is that Tan Feng wants to kill Ning. Zecheng, Ning Xin's father, will she remain indifferent?

But looking at Ye Jing'er's expectant look, he didn't want to spoil her mood. There was no need to tell her about the difficulties here. He lowered his head and gave her a gentle peck on her red lips. , "I'm going to Fufeng and Liaoxi next. I'm afraid it will take more than a month before I can return. You are at home alone. If you feel lonely, you might as well go out and walk more."

"If I get lonely, I'll go find Miss Helan." A sly light flashed in Ye Jing'er's eyes, she looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Let her teach me horse riding, archery, and learn from what she did last time in Sun Yat-sen University. The kind of dance she danced at Xiao’s wedding.”

Gao Yuan was startled, but was speechless. He was afraid that as soon as he spoke, Ye Jing'er would have a lot of words waiting for him, so it was better to run away.

"You should rest. I also made an appointment with Jiang Yizheng and several people to discuss matters!" Without saying a word, Gao Yuan left in a hurry. Looking at Gao Yuan's somewhat embarrassed back, Ye Jing'er couldn't help but giggle and waved her hand gently. Immediately there was a sound like running water.

Jishi City was full of joy and happiness. The good harvest last autumn, and then Gao Yuan led the army to defeat the invaders. These happy events made this newly rising city have a good year. There were laughter and joy everywhere, showing a vibrant vitality. At this moment, the ancient city of Xianyang, thousands of miles away, with hundreds of years of history, seemed a little heavy.

The Qin army attacked Han, and the progress was smooth under the personal command of General Li Xin. If nothing unexpected happened, the Koreans could only celebrate this last Spring Festival, because by this year, they would become part of the Qin State, and only the capital Xinzheng would be left. At the beginning of spring, the Qin army would launch the final offensive, take down the last bastion of the Korean people's resistance, and completely destroy Han.

But this good news was diluted by the destruction of Shannan County. Xianyang's joy did not last long. The bad news from Shannan made Xianyang silent.

In Xianyang, deep inside the prison of the Ministry of Justice, a prisoner sat cross-legged on a pile of grass, his long hair hanging down, covering his face, making it impossible to tell his appearance.

Compared with the overcrowded cells in the other prisons of the Ministry of Justice, this one seemed very deserted. There were only a few people in the huge prison. Obviously, the identities of the prisoners here were somewhat different.

All the officials who had committed crimes in the Qin State were imprisoned in this cell.

"It's time to eat!" A jailer carried a wooden barrel and walked outside the fence, knocking on the barrel with a spoon. Every time he walked past a cell, he scooped up a spoonful of black and unknown things from the inside and poured it into a wooden bowl inside the fence.

The prisoner with long hair covering his face stood up, walked to the fence with a clang, knelt down, picked up the bowl of black food, and put it into his mouth in a few seconds. As he moved, the sound of iron chains colliding in the cell kept ringing.

The man had iron handcuffs on his wrists, and the handcuffs were connected to a long iron chain, the end of the chain was deeply embedded in the wall.

After eating in silence, the prisoner retreated and sat silently on the haystack.

The cell was very gloomy, and in this weather, the haystacks had already become wet. After sitting for a long time, even the clothes on his body became wet and very uncomfortable, but compared to other places, this haystack was still the warmest place. Every bone in his body was sore. If he stayed in such a place for a long time, he would not need any other punishment. The prisoner would not live long. With the pain, he would die naturally in a short time.

Although he ended up like this, the prisoner did not have much resentment. When he decided to return to Xianyang, he knew that his end must be in this cold and damp cell.

Because all the laws of the Qin State were formulated by his teacher, and as the teacher's last disciple, he naturally knew what was waiting for him when he returned to Xianyang.

This person was naturally Lu Chao who had returned from Shannan County after a great defeat.

He had lost his army and territory, and even his commander was dead. According to the laws of the Qin State, he would be executed.

Lu Chao did not come back to seek death.

He wanted revenge, to cut the bastard who had used his mother to break into Shannan County, and to do this, he had to come back.

The rage in his heart and the hatred deep in his bones were the reasons why he could hold on. The officials who were imprisoned in the other bars in this cell were sick and dying, but he held on, forcing himself to eat food that was worse than pig food every day, so that he could have enough physical strength to exercise and resist the cold here with sweat. He must survive.

He would not die. As the last disciple of Li Ru, who made the law, Lu Chao had a very clear understanding of the laws of Qin. There were still loopholes in the strict laws. Of course, these loopholes were not left for ordinary people, but for the powerful. The large amount of money that his mother brought back from Liaoxi was the basis for him to walk out of this cold prison. Qin law has a law of fine silver for redemption, which is also a cash cow that brings a lot of silver to the Qin treasury.

It's just that his own affairs are a bit big, but as long as there is this loophole, I believe that the teacher will not sit idly by.

Lu Chao firmly believes that he can definitely get out and embark on the road of revenge against Gao Yuan.

After sitting for a while, Lu Chao stood up, waved his arms, drove the iron chain, and began to temper his body. If he didn't temper his body well, it would be difficult to survive this period. He didn't want to be sick and die in bed after he got out. (To be continued...)
