When Bai Zhi woke up, she found herself in a cold and damp prison. It was so cold that her teeth chattered, and her whole body couldn't help but shrink together.

She sat up suddenly and looked around, only to see a hand reaching out from the next cell, very close to her, and she kept touching it.

Because she was in a dark place, she became extra vigilant, and she instinctively felt that the prisoners next door were trying to take advantage of her.

She immediately jumped up and stepped on the hands, causing the other person to scream. Only then did Bai Zhi hear clearly that it was Wu Yong's voice.

"Uh... How come Governor Wu was imprisoned too!" Bai Zhi was shocked and immediately squatted down guiltily and patted the dust on the back of his hands.

Wu Yong was not angry. He just wanted to put some clothes on her. It took him a long time to get closer to her. His kindness was not rewarded.

But her hand patted the back of his hand, as gentle as a feather's sweep, which made him feel a little itchy. He could only secretly raise the corners of his mouth, "I am your accomplice, of course I will be imprisoned together."

"I'm sorry..." Bai Zhi lowered her head, "I didn't consider your situation at the time, and that's why you were affected."

"I volunteered." Wu said in a firm tone, with a little bit of pride that was hard to detect.

But these words made Bai Zhi feel even more guilty. She gradually recalled those bad things and tears were about to fall.

Wu Yong quickly changed the topic and criticized her severely, "But you are still too impulsive!"

Bai Zhi raised her head suddenly, holding back her tears, "Have you scolded me like this before?"

She felt that this feeling of being lectured was familiar.

In Wu Yong's description, he is regarded as her aide and counselor, so Bai Zhi will unconsciously compare him with Zhou Li.

Different from Wu Yong's criticism just now, when Zhou Li gives his opinions, he often bases his opinions on the matter, only analyzing the problem, and rarely with emotion. Even if he asked her to sell herself, Zhou Li would not be embarrassed at all. She is an emotionless machine weighing the pros and cons. .

Wu Yong spoke with strong emotions, as if he was trying his best to do her best, but she still didn't want to listen, like a nagging father.

Wu Yong was a little angry, "How can I call you scolding? You don't know. Mei Boyang almost pulled your head off at that time, and Prince Ning almost didn't hold you back!"

Wu Yong was really frightened. He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if Meng Ying had been a step slower!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but want to scold her, "What you did was so impulsive! How could you ask for Mei Shaohong to be killed in front of the Mei family? Have you not heard about the Mei family? Morality? You..."

As he was talking, he vaguely heard her sobbing. She huddled up against the wooden board in the middle of the cell, which made Wu Yong feel distressed.

When Bai Zhi thought of these things, she couldn't control her emotions at all. She felt like she was drowned in water. Her nose was sore and every breath felt like it was filled with water.

"But... my heart hurts so much... I can't help it... I just want to kill Mei Shaohong!"

"No one helps me, not even Zhuo Yao. That Meng Ying keeps saying love, but he doesn't help me either..."

Bai Zhi suddenly remembered that Zhuo Yao had been shot, and couldn't help asking, "Is Zhuo Yao dead?"

"I don't know..." Wu Yong saw that she was crying and handed her a dirty handkerchief.

"Forget it if you die! Death is not a pity!" Bai Zhi said the most hateful words, but these words backfired in her heart.

She started talking non-stop, venting her emotions uncontrollably, and tears kept falling.

"No one cares about the life and death of the Tanning people! Only I know how difficult it is for them! They managed to survive under the knife of Thief Fei, eating tree bark and eating children. After a year of hard work, they look like they are going to live a good life. Days... Mei Shaohong is not a human being!"

"Only I saw it! And when I entered their court, I was the only mouth the Tanning people had! If I didn't speak! None of them would care!"

"If you don't cry out for justice for them, why are you talking so much!"

"Being impulsive...it hurts! Shouldn't I be impulsive?"

"Even if I'm not impulsive, will they kill Mei Shaohong again? I use Zhuo Yao to force him, I use you to force him, but he is unmoved. What's the use of me not being impulsive?"

"It's him! It's Meng Ying! He is the culprit!"

Bai Zhi burst into tears and accused him of his crimes. She wanted to put him on the rack and cursed him.

"Such a person should go to hell! I wish him all the best! He will never be able to have children in the future! No one will ever love him again!"

Wu Yong listened and felt... very happy.

He couldn't help but follow her words and said, "Isn't that right? He is not a person worthy of being entrusted with life. In his heart, he only has power and is just a puppet. There is no room for other people!"

"He is not worthy of your love. It would be good to see clearly earlier."

"Zhuo Yao is not a good person. They grew up wearing the same pair of trousers. He is Prince Ning's lackey. He will gain wisdom after suffering. Don't trust him in the future."

Wu Yong also talked hard, but no matter how much he slandered her, it was not enough. He seemed to be unable to get close to her.

Bai Zhi suddenly became silent. She could scold, but when she heard Wu Yong say this, she felt something was wrong. Meng Ying didn't seem to be the kind of person he described.

The two were silent for a while, their stomachs growling with hunger.

The cell was very dark, there was no charcoal fire, which made people tremble uncontrollably, and only two lamps were lit in the corridor outside the cell.

Bai Zhi had already put on Wu Yong's clothes, but Wu Yong saw that she was still cold, so he took off another piece of clothes for her.

With two pieces of clothes pressed against her body, Bai Zhi felt a lot warmer, but she still refused and said, "One piece is enough, and you will catch the cold in a while."

Wu Yong was also cold, but he pretended to be relaxed, "I'm not cold. Although I'm lame... I've also been in a military camp."

Wu Yong remembered that he was lame again.

It was like this before, every time he thought he was getting closer to her, the lame leg would remind him that he didn't deserve it.

"Why don't they put us in the same cell?" Wu Yong said, "It will be warmer if we are close together..."

"Will they? Can you still negotiate terms with them?"

"Probably so. Prince Ning still expects me to pay for the war. Mr. Lin will not just sit idly by and ignore it. If you keep patiently, you should be able to go out."

"Huh? You're not going out?"

"Yes……"

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly started chattering, "I have business in Qiongzhou, Nanyang, and Cangzhou. I have made war fortune in these years. I used the Wei family's army to capture many mines. The mines in Cangzhou are the largest." . That is the most important thing. You have to remember that there is a town in Cangzhou called Yajiang Town. There is an old house. There is a very capable uncle in the old house. If you tell him your name is Bai Lianhua, he will I will take you to the mine. There is a military attache in the mine named Zhang Li..."

He suddenly said some strange things. Bai Zhi was a little confused and interrupted him, "Why are you telling me this?"

"If you remember these secrets and these trade routes, you can negotiate with Prince Ning. You must have some leverage." Wu Yong said seriously.

"Actually, you're right. When dealing with the higher-ups, you just have to force yourself. They are all big shots. Who doesn't have thousands of lives on their hands, especially the most miserable people? They don't regard these people as human beings at all... …”

"They will only listen to what you say if they want something from you."

"Prince Ning...although it's not worth entrusting, you have a child. If you use the bargaining chip to negotiate, there may be some chance of winning the battle."

He was speaking too seriously, as if he was entrusting him with a life-long event. Bai Zhi couldn't help but interrupt him, "Wait a minute... You are mine, can't you threaten him?"

Wu Yong's expression condensed, and then he smiled lightly, "Uh... yes."

At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor and the surrounding area lit up.
