Chapter 192 The Hidden Staff of the Prince in the Cold Palace 38

A few coughs were heard in the dark dungeon, and then footsteps stopped in front of the cell covered with hay.

The guard glanced inside and saw court officials in noble attire leaning against the wall and sleeping side by side. One of them had a lazy look on his face. He opened his eyelids and looked straight at the person who came.

The guard seemed to be fascinated. After a few seconds, he shook his head and knocked against the lock with the knife in his hand, making a sharp and crisp sound.

"You two have been spotted by our boss, so get ready. We just happened to win a great victory, so get ready to celebrate. Don't play any tricks." The guard said coldly.

The people beside him pulled him, showing disapproval: "Why waste time talking to them? A wife and a concubine, why don't you just ask them to change clothes when the time comes? Can't they get into our Qinglong Village and run away?"

The guard thought what he said made sense. He glanced at the figure in the prison and saw that the young official had his head lowered, with his hair loose on his temples. He looked dishevelled yet with an indescribable charm.

No wonder the old man fell in love with a man. What’s the difference between a man like this and a woman when sleeping with him?

The footsteps faded away, and the cell became quiet again. These bandits deliberately separated them from the main force, probably with this in mind.

The cell was cool, which neutralized the heat brought by the dry weather.

Ling Si took off her hair crown, put it aside casually, and tied her hair with a headband.

Wen Xiangyi woke up in a daze, and everything in front of his eyes was dark, making him mistakenly think that it was still night. His body felt cold and stiff, and as he moved, something slipped from his shoulder.

He looked back and saw a blue coat. He then realized that he seemed to be leaning against someone.

"Awake?" Before he could figure out the situation, a familiar voice came from the side.

After a long silence, Wen Xiangyi said in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"

Ling Si said in a calm voice, shrugged his shoulders, and loosened his stiff muscles, "I was caught. You were sleeping too soundly at the time, and you were almost stabbed."

With Ling Si's skills, it was impossible for him to be caught. How could these bandits be his opponents? "How could you..."

"They wanted to burn the disaster relief supplies and threatened me into submission."

Wen Xiangyi frowned, "What they need most is food. This kind of threat should have no effect on you."

Ling Si, the backbone of the team, has been captured. What ability do they have to resist?

The young man lowered his eyes, the emotion in his eyes was unclear, "Do you think I should escape?"

"Do you... have any solution?" Seeing Ling Si's nonchalant look, Wen Xiangyi's originally determined heart became hesitant.

"Guess." Ling Si patted the weeds on his body, stood up, walked around a few times, and looked around.

There was only a small window above the cell, which was blocked by rags. Ling Si jumped up and pulled those things off. Countless dust fell on his head. Wen Xiangyi, who was below, was affected as he tried to block it with his hands.

"Ahem..." Wen Xiangyi used his sleeve to fan the dust in front of him, stood up and moved away. Just as he was about to get angry, he met the young man's half-smile, "Are you deliberately taking revenge on me?!"

Ling Si retracted his gaze, "Sorry, I didn't notice."

A beam of white light shone through the window. I didn't know the location of the cell and the sun was not visible, so it was a little difficult to tell the time. It seemed that I could only wait for the guard to come in again to find out.

Wen Xiangyi saw the young man staring at the light and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the time."

"What did you see?"

"No, How about you?"

Wen Xiangyi was speechless. He didn't have the ability to do that. "...It was during the day."

Ling Si folded his hands and sat down on the haystack again, looking up at him, "Really? I didn't even notice."

"Are you coaxing the child?" Wen Xiangyi hit him on the shoulder, and his tense mood relaxed a lot, and they sat down side by side.

With his skills, he just hoped he wouldn't hold Ling Si back, so he started to get anxious after waking up and learning about his situation. Now that Ling Si was teasing him, he didn't feel like thinking too much about it.

"What did that person say just now?" Wen Xiangyi listened a little.

Ling Si looked into the darkness before him, and his voice echoed in the dungeon: "They said that their boss has taken a fancy to the two of us and wants to marry us. You are the younger one."

"How do you know you are not a concubine?" Wen Xiangyi rolled his eyes in an inelegant manner.

Ling Si subconsciously returned to his previous manner of telling lies and answered readily, "Yes, after all, Lord Wen is a royal family, so if I marry him, I will marry him as his wife."

Wen Xiangyi: “….”

No, why would he discuss with Ling Si who would be the wife or concubine? That bandit is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat! !

"No noble lady can compare to Lord Ling." After saying this, Wen Xiangyi turned his back, leaned his head against the cold wall, and closed his eyes.

There was an indescribable smell in the cell, but now was not the time to be picky. No matter how uncomfortable it was, Wen Xiangyi had to endure it.

"Follow me at night and don't run around."

Wen Xiangyi heard these words clearly and nodded softly.
