Ji Xiao had never heard of the dark prison, but the person who escorted him only walked around the unknown hall, and then abducted to the side hall that Lu Chao gave him.

It snowed heavily in Kyoto tonight.

The branches are covered with snow, but the pear tree in the courtyard is still in full bloom. The white petals and snow reflect the moonlight, which is a bit eye-catching in the dark night.

The guard who escorted him and he had just stepped into the yard when Chu Yu and Hai Tang came out rubbing their eyes when they heard the movement.

"Little master is back?" Haitang took a closer look, only to find the two shadow guards who were guarding Ji Xiao, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

The two shadow guards kept their faces cold and did not answer, they continued to push Ji Xiao forward.

Until Ji Xiao said: "Wait."

The two shadow guards stopped for a moment.

"I just assassinated the emperor, and they want to detain me, so don't stop me," Ji Xiao paused, and then said, "This assassination is true, if Lu Chao is angry with you, you should disown me and seek refuge with me." Leave the palace."

"Concubine Rong's place may be a good place to go."

"Little master..." The two of them were clearly in shock and hadn't finished digesting what Ji Xiao just said.

This evening, Ji Xiao obviously went well, why did he come back in the middle of the night and was charged with assassinating the emperor?What is this called...

Seeing that Ji Xiao had nothing to say, the two shadow guards led him to the pear tree, one of them drew his knife three feet in front of the tree, stabbed it into the ground about seven or eight inches away, and listened. With a "click", a small stone eight trigrams formation rose up.

The shadow guard squatted down, lowered his head and fiddled with half a stick of incense, and a secret passage appeared not far away.

Immediately, the two shadow guards escorted him and walked in. The secret passage was filled with a musty smell of corruption and a strange smell of stagnant air for a long time. As soon as Ji Xiaofang stepped in, he was choked by the smell and suddenly After coughing a few times, it eased slightly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ji Xiao's eyes had completely adapted to the darkness, and he finally saw a slightly wider room, but as far as he could see, it was still narrow, dim and oppressive.

Frankly speaking, this house is not considered a house, only the chains everywhere, and a "person" with long hair reaching the ground.

The "person" was motionless, like a dead object, so Ji Xiao didn't dare to easily determine what it was.

It wasn't until the two shadow guards pulled the iron chain and locked his wrists and ankles that the "person" moved slightly. With the slight sound of the iron chain, the man's voice was hoarse: "Who?"

Ji Xiao turned around and looked, the two shadow guards had already disappeared into the darkness, probably they had already left.

"Who are you?" He blinked, trying to see the person's appearance clearly.

The man was silent for a long while, before he spoke again: "I have been imprisoned here for more than 20 years, except him... I have never seen anyone else, why are you imprisoned here by him? "

Ji Xiao looked at the silhouette of that person in the darkness, and asked, "Is he referring to Lu Chao?"

The man replied, "That's right."

"I tried to kill him, but I couldn't."

The man suddenly burst into laughter, and he stopped laughing for a long while, then turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"Wang Jixiao."

This person was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Xiao seriously. His night vision ability is very good, and he can see Ji Xiao's facial features clearly in such extreme darkness. He was in a daze for a while, and then opened his mouth with trembling lips. Said: "It's you..."

"You know me?" Ji Xiao asked tentatively, "What's your name?"

"My name is Tujin," he was silent for a moment after he finished speaking, and then he saw that Jixiao didn't respond to the name at all, so he asked, "Don't you remember me? I'm a little fox. You saved me before The... don't you remember?"

He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Ji Xiao's hand, and said incoherently: "Ah, you have become a fairy, and you will never come back. I don't believe it... I thought it was him... He hid you, he Lied to me."

There was a stale smell on Tu Jin's body, and it became stronger after approaching. Ji Xiao frowned, and said honestly: "I don't remember."

"I don't remember..." Tu Jin suddenly let go of her hand again, stood up again, took two steps back, and murmured, "You don't remember..."

The front door of the hall is unknown.

Concubine Qi learned about the arrest of Ji Xiao's assassination of the emperor early in the morning, and had fun with the close palace people for a long time, and then changed into a new dress, pinching the point where Lu Chao will go to court, and will pretend to meet by chance near the Unknown Hall earlier.

Seeing the emperor's guard of honor, Concubine Qi led the palace people to greet her, but she still had a surprised gesture on her face: "All blessings, Your Majesty."

Lu Chao: "What are you doing here?"

"The concubine is naturally here to see His Majesty," Concubine Qi stuck to his side and smiled, "I was afraid that your Majesty was still in court, and this concubine came too early, so I couldn't meet His Majesty. I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet him Your Majesty."

Lu Chao responded silently, raised his foot and continued to walk in.

Concubine Qi has long been used to his appearance, so she was not discouraged, she continued to smile and said: "Your Majesty, how can you understand the suffering of ministers and concubines. If you don't see each other for a day, it will be like three autumns. The ministers and concubines miss you so much."

"You're not ashamed, not at all shameless." Lu Chao sneered.

It is unknown in the hall.

Concubine Qi followed Lu Chao to sit in the main hall, looked at Lu Chao who had submitted the first batch of papers for a long time, then took a sip of tea, put her chin on her cheek and said with a smile: "Your Majesty..."

He paused, and then said worriedly: "The concubine got up in the morning and heard people say that Wei Shiliu's assassination in the middle of the night yesterday frightened His Majesty, is it true?"

Lu Chao paused with the ink pen in his hand: "Is this why Aifei came?"

"I don't know if this matter is true or not, and my concubine is also worried about His Majesty," said Concubine Qi. "When His Majesty took him to his side, my concubine was worried every night. The Wang family was wiped out. After all, he is an orphan of the Wang family, so how can he not complain in his heart?"

Lu Chao didn't answer, and opened another memorial.

Concubine Qi sighed lightly, and said neither serious nor serious: "Fortunately, His Majesty is fine, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

He paused, and said again: "This is a big matter, how does His Majesty plan to deal with him?"

"What does my concubine want to do with him?" Lu Chao raised his eyes, and met Concubine Qi's gaze lightly.

"This..." Concubine Qi first smiled lightly, then pondered for a moment, and then said carefully, "Although Shiliu is favored by the emperor, the assassination is not a small matter after all. If it is not handled properly, it may be offended." , making people misunderstand that His Majesty is too partial to him..."

There was a slight sneer on the corner of Lu Chao's mouth, and there was a bit of strangeness in his dark purple pupils: So Concubine Yi Ai meant to behead Wang Jixiao to show the public? "

Concubine Qi felt nervous, for fear that if something was wrong, Lu Chao would have another fit.After thinking carefully for a moment, I said: "After all, Chenqie and Shiliu had a master-servant relationship. He is a clever and transparent child. Naturally, Chenqie is reluctant to let him end up like this. But if you don't deal with it, Chenqie And worrying about His Majesty's safety, it's really a dilemma."

Lu Chao narrowed his eyes, and then smiled inexplicably.

In the dark prison at this time.

Ji Xiao stayed up all night, listening to Tu Jin talking about his past, those fragmented memories were pieced together, and Ji Xiao finally got a rough idea of ​​his past life.

He is a casual cultivator who has not been admitted to any sect. He was originally an unknown monk, but in a sword debate in Shushan, he easily defeated the most promising fresh blood of each sect and won the first place in one fell swoop.

"The proud son of heaven, you are young and promising... These words are really suitable for you," Tu Jin smiled, "and you are just a casual cultivator. The difference is more than one hundred and eight thousand miles, but the age is still similar to them, which arouses the eyes of many people - at that time, Elder Zhou, who refused to accept apprentices on Mount Shu, liked you, and wanted to accept you as an apprentice, that would be enviable It’s a good thing to hurt others, but you refuse it without even thinking about it.”

As the old saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.But Ji Xiao's path of cultivation has been quite smooth.After the Sword Discussion in Shu Mountain, Ji Xiao's cultivation has soared all the way. The young talent who wanted to take him as his disciple You Zhou was still stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation, but he was the blue one, and he was about to cross the catastrophe and ascend.

"I was injured by a demon-killing monk at the time, and I fled all the way to your residence, where I was rescued by you," Tu Jin said, "I bid farewell to you after I healed up, but accidentally fell into the demon-hunting net and was sold into a brothel." , It was you who saved me. After that, I stayed with you in order to repay my kindness."

When Ji Xiao heard this, he asked, "Then why did Lu Chao lock you up here?"

"Him?" Tu Jin gritted his teeth with a look of ferocity on his face, "He hates me. When he first arrived, he couldn't understand me. Hundreds of years ago, he changed form, so he captured me and locked me up." Get up, I was only moved here 20 years ago."

"I know that he is now the emperor of the world, and that's when I realized that he can't find you either," Tu Jin sneered, "he can't find you either... That's why I want to be the emperor. In a conspicuous place, you can see it as soon as you come back."

He paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Who knows that you have completely forgotten... This is retribution."

Most of the things he said, Ji Xiao has no memory of them, only some can overlap with fragments of his shattered dreams, but the sense of familiarity cannot be deceived.

It's just about Lu Chao's memory, but it's so faint that it's almost intangible. Based on the clues in Tu Jin's mouth, Ji Xiao can't remember his past and his past at all.

Tu Jin's excitement at the beginning passed, and finally began to calm down. He thought for a while, and suddenly became a little puzzled: "Since Lu Chao has already found you, why did he lock you here?"

Without waiting for Ji Xiao to answer, he immediately said again: "There is only one possibility, he can't recognize you... Does it mean that he doesn't believe that you are Ji Xiao at all?"

Ji Xiao took a look at this crazy fox who sometimes laughed foolishly, feeling a little disappointed, he replied: "It should be."

"It deserves it, that bastard... he deserves it!" Tu Jin laughed while crying, "he deserves it... I knew it was you when I smelled it, even if you changed your body, the smell of your soul would not change. He used to It's just a dead thing, and it won't recognize you in this life, and he's so narrow-minded, he got into his own horns, no matter how you tell him, he won't believe you."

At the same time, Taishi Mansion.

Yinghuo went down to the realm again, thinking that this time no matter what, she would persuade Shaohao to go back, otherwise if the Emperor of Heaven finds out, they who are helping to deceive others will definitely not be able to bear it.

However, as soon as he stepped into Ji Yu's bedroom, he saw him pacing in front of the bed with his hands behind his back with a worried expression on his face.Hearing the movement and seeing that it was him, he immediately ran over and grabbed his arm.

"What's the matter?" Yingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously.

"News came from the palace this morning, saying that Ji Xiao was arrested for assassinating the emperor last night, and now he doesn't know where he is being held. What will Lu Chao do with him..." Ji Yu was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears. I don’t have enough rights, it’s hard to reach the sky if you want to save him, you should quickly think of a way, if it doesn’t work, I’ll kill myself immediately, recover my immortal body, and try my best to save him.”

Yinghuo grabbed his wrist instead, and said anxiously: "You mustn't, if you touch his fate, maybe you will retaliate, even if you are not afraid, but now Ji Xiao is trapped in love, he is still a mortal Body, can he bear it?"

Ji Yu frowned: "But I can't just sit idly by. If he is sentenced to death by that Lu Dynasty, he will suffer the pain of reincarnation, but I don't know when he will be able to get over this calamity."

"Don't worry, Jixiao's life is safe right now," Yinghuo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "I put a curse on his lifestone before, which can protect him from a disaster. If the emperor really wants to Execute him, it won't work the first time, if the spell takes effect, I can rush there as soon as possible, and I will definitely not let him die, so you can rest assured."

Only then did Ji Yu breathe a sigh of relief, but he was still worried: "Even if Lu Chao doesn't want his life, he will be locked up in some dark cell to suffer at this moment... When do you think he has suffered this kind of pain?"

He just thought about the unbearable situation that Ji Xiao might be in, and he felt that his heart was about to die.

Yinghuo thought for a moment and said: "How about this, I will go to the palace to look for him first, if he is all right, we will wait and see what happens, if the sealing spell I cast sounds, I will be able to sense it, and then I will go over , take him away regardless of the consequences."

Ji Yu had no choice but to nod his head: "After you find him, if he is in prison, remember to use a cover-up to make him live better. This cover-up won't affect his fate, I think. It's all right."

"understood."

The dark room is hidden underground, even if you search the palace, you may not be able to find Ji Xiao.But fortunately, Yingzhuo had cast a curse on him, and easily touched the entrance of the dark room along the way.

He stretched out his hand to make a decision, trying to forcefully break the restriction at the entrance, but the spell didn't take effect.

Yingzhuo leaned over suspiciously, looking through the dirt at the small stone gossip lying on the ground, her heart tightened suddenly, she realized that she probably won't see Jixiao today.

Ji Yu from the Grand Master's Mansion saw Yinghuo go and come back, but it took half a stick of incense, his heart felt cold, and he stepped forward and asked, "Did you not find it?"

"I found it, but I didn't see anyone," Yingzhuo smiled wryly, "The restriction at the entrance uses a rather ancient sealing spell, which has been altered privately. I can't break it, and I can't break it with only magic tricks." , unless the entrance that sealed the dungeon is removed directly, but even if it is put back together with immortal techniques, the restriction will become invalid, and the emperor of the world will definitely find out, so Ji Xiao's situation may not be better."

Ji Yu walked back silently, retreated to the table and sat down, but tightly squeezed the teacup containing hot tea in his hand, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"What kind of thing is that dog emperor? What does Ji Xiao owe him? Why does he treat Ji Xiao like this? My majestic young master, who has fallen into this net of dust, can't even save his beloved!"

Yinghuo was much calmer than him, he knew Ji Xiao quite well, that person was far more tenacious than they usually saw, and he would never be knocked down because of such an accident.

"There are rules in the world. Ji Xiao was indeed reckless in this assassination. In the end, it was his own doom, and he was doomed. He had to bear it himself."
