My life in prison was very miserable. Not to mention the lack of food and drinks, the imperial physicians often came to make things difficult for me.
From their words, I understood that Yan Hua was severely injured by the heavenly lightning and had always been in a semi-conscious state. That's why he wasn't able to protect me anymore.
The imperial physicians and their loyal subordinates all thought that I was the one who had caused Yan Hua's injury, and thus treated me with ill manners. They knew that I was a general of the Kingdom of Nanyu, so they tortured me all day long, hoping that I would reveal the secrets of the Kingdom of Nanyu. Of course I wouldn't tell them, or else where would I put Yueze? Seeing that I did not cooperate at all, the imperial physician was very angry, so he told me that I was a demoness and had used demonic arts to harm their emperor. Thus, he tortured me multiple times, such as the tiger stool, chili concoction, and so on.
However, every time they used the punishment, I would be able to grasp it perfectly. I wanted to live a bad life, but I couldn't die, so I had to bear it all in silence.
On this day, they also gave me a stick for my fingers. I have heard of this punishment before, it is said that all ten fingers are linked to the heart, and the pain is incomparable. I didn't expect that I would personally try it today.
When the executioner inserted a thin bamboo stick into my fingertips, the pain was indescribable. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and my vision went blank. Finally, I passed out. At that moment, I desperately hoped that Yan Hua would recover quickly. If he was awake, I wouldn't have to suffer so much.
This time, my coma lasted for a long time, until the middle of the moon when I finally woke up. When I opened my eyes, I found a bowl of stale porridge with a steamed bun that was strong enough to smash a person to death on one side of it. A few feet above my head, there was a small window, letting in a thin moonlight.
I suddenly felt very miserable.
After days of suffering and lack of food and food, my body was weak. My stomach was hungry, so I forced myself to get up and carry the "dinner." He held his nose and took a sip. Then, he spat it out with a "wow!" No, with my picky taste buds and my delicate aesthetic, I definitely won't be able to accept eating this kind of food!
I set the bowl aside and sat down on the cold floor of the dungeon, rubbing my stomach. Although he felt wronged, it was impossible for him to use the Divine Talisman to escape and throw himself at his master's side. Because I was captured this time, the imperial physician ordered someone to search my body and change my clothes into tattered prison clothes. There was nothing else I could do to save myself.
Under the cool moonlight, I thought of the days at the Palace. I thought of the three hundred years I had lived there, when had I ever suffered so much? Master has always been doted on by me and my friends have always taken good care of me. Even Yuan Yuan from the Sky Dragon Hall has often taken care of me.
But now, even though there was someone who looked like a deep abyss in this prison, he couldn't open his eyes to look at me, nor could he say a single word to protect me.
Sigh, I really did commit too many sins in my previous life? So it turned out that heavenly tribulation had to experience so many hardships and twists. This was truly depressing.
However, thinking about meeting Yue Ze in his next life made him feel gratified. No matter how much suffering he had suffered in this mortal world, as long as he could meet Yue Ze and share his heart's desire, no matter how much pain he suffered, it was all worth it.
However, what was Yueze doing now? Liujiang City has fallen for many days, Yueze must have received the news that I was captured, would he be worried about me? Who would he send to save me? If he saves me, do I have to go with him? Now that the identity of the True Dragon's Son had been confirmed, there was no doubt that it was Yan Hua. Although I don't mind if Yue Ze can rule the entire world in the future, right now, I have to rely on Yan Hua's protection. I still have six heavenly thunders to go through, so I have to stay by his side.
Sigh!
With a long sigh and a pang of anxiety in his heart, he fell asleep in the moonlight, his stomach rumbling with hunger. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, my dream finally became blissful, because I dreamt of Yueze. He roasted a large roast chicken for me to eat. It was fragrant and oily, making me drool.
Just as he was about to eat the roasted chicken, there was the sound of metal striking metal from the prison! I woke up from my dream and immediately sat up! This body is useless. This experienced female general is extremely sensitive to all kinds of metallic sounds during the night. She is even more powerful than when I was a fox spirit. I turned over and sat up, and was immediately a little dumbfounded... Unknowingly, the guards in the prison had all been killed and they were all lying on the ground! That metallic sound just now was the sound of a concealed weapon being fired. It was obvious that the hidden weapon was poisoned. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to be able to kill the other party with such precision.
I raised my head in astonishment and looked in the direction of the projectile. I saw a head poking out of the window above me! It was a masked Death Soldier, who deftly disposed of the guards in the prison, then cut off the windows and squatted on top of them.
"General? "General!"
He whispered my name, and I felt a surge of relief. It was none other than Jean Mo! He's coming to save me!
"I'm here!" I waved at him.
When Jean Mo saw me, his eyes lit up with ecstasy. Then he opened his arms and lightly fell into the prison like a black swallow.
He looked very excited when he saw me. He knelt on one knee and almost choked with emotion, "General, are you alright?" This subordinate has come under the orders of the Emperor to rescue the general, and has caused you so much suffering in the past few days! "
I nodded. "Did Yueze send you?"
The last time he assassinated Yueze, although Yueze didn't punish him, he handed him over to the royal guard, saying that he would let his own guard "teach" him a little bit, so as to sharpen his spirit. I haven't seen him since then. In a flash, I haven't seen him for more than half a year.
Ran Mo nodded, unable to say anything. Of course, there was nothing to say in a place like this, so he took me by the arm and flew me to the window.
Outside the window, several of the attendants knelt on the ground and called me "Lord White."
It looked like they were indeed sent by Yueze.
It was only then that I realized that they had already knocked down all the guards on the perimeter of the dungeon. However, this was still the territory of the Cang Wu Army. The dungeon was an important place and there were many guards to patrol, so they could not stay for long. Instinctively, I followed them to a dark corner. They had already figured out the route to retreat, and even set a fire in the dungeon to cause chaos, so I managed to get away.
Halfway back to Carlin Pass, I sensed something was wrong.
After being locked in the dungeon for over ten days, although he couldn't see outside, he could still feel that the weather was extremely clear. Except for the night when I was hit by a thunderstorm, there was a moon coming in through the window almost every night.
But not long after I left the dungeon, the weather suddenly changed!
The wind was howling and the clouds were billowing. The surroundings were filled with a cold wind that made it seem as if a storm was approaching!
I was slightly alarmed and thought, "Not good …" It can't be, the damn lightning won't come again, right? Could it be that the heavens had set their eyes on him the moment he left the dungeon?
My body was too weak to run, and I was glad to have Jean Mo's support to help me. I finally managed to get into Garin Pass.
He turned his head to look at Liujiang City. At the center of the city, in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion's dungeon, was a blazing fire that almost illuminated half the sky. That should be their plan, right? They set fire to the dungeon and caused chaos, or we wouldn't have been able to get out of Liujiang so easily and back to Carlin Pass.
