Emperor Son Sang gl

Zhongling chased the captain's mansion, the dungeon.

Zhao Gan has not spent much energy on repairing houses since he became rich.Xu was influenced by the emperor's strict administration of integrity, and extensive repairs would only arouse the suspicion of the imperial envoys, so he never considered it; As a result of fear, famous craftsmen were invited to build a water prison, and the clear lake water in the backyard of the mansion was introduced into it, creating a torture.

Although a team of servants guarding the Zhao family's dungeon were accustomed to being indifferent all the year round, they were still a little flustered by the recent arrival of a new guest in the dungeon.

"grown ups."

Zhao Gan came to the dungeon again today, and the attendants who guarded the door saw him from afar, and they didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.After saying the salute, an attendant turned around and took out the copper key on his body to unlock it, and then opened the stone gate of the dungeon to welcome Zhao Gan in.

The location of the dungeon is relatively remote, and there are several organs in the dark; and because more than half of the entire dungeon is buried underground, it is still cool in the hot weather.The attendant tremblingly walked ahead to lead the way, hearing the cries of the dying in the dungeon and the sound of water coming up from the dungeon from time to time, and couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

If you are going to die, why do you feel scared even in such a familiar place?

The attendant raised his eyes to look at Zhao Gan, and then met Zhao Gan's half-smile expression, and his heart trembled again. "How is that man these days? Did he say anything?"

"I didn't say anything, but the wound on his back has already festered. If he doesn't heal, he may die." The attendant told the truth.

Zhao Gan frowned for a moment, but he quickly smoothed it off.If I hadn't been paying attention to his demeanor, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known his momentary worry. "This kid is really stubborn..." He couldn't say that he trusted that person [-]%, but the doubts in his heart were more or less shaken.Since bleeding doesn't make him move, try something else.

"Sir, please."

After twisting all the way, the defenses of the dungeon were opened.Zhao Gan and the attendants stood where they were, watching a stone slab move clumsily in front of them, finally revealing a pool of water.

There is an iron cage in the center of the pool, and the four corners of the iron cage are tied with thick iron chains to fasten the four stone walls; although the iron cage is half submerged in the water, there is no sign of rust at all, it must be steel.Zhao Gan stood by the pool and squinted his eyes, staring at the person trapped in the cage in the water, without saying a word for a long time.

An elf's attendant next to him squatted down and yanked the chain violently, shaking the cage, causing the person inside to half fall and hit his head.

"Wake up! My lord is here!"

These words echoed in the empty water prison, causing the person in the water cage to gasp for a few breaths and stare with murderous eyes.

Zhao Gan sneered:

"How is Deputy General Zhuo?"

-

It was half a month ago, when the emperor's son Sang Yu announced that he would abdicate in August and Prince Rui would take the throne.

Zhuo Zhao came to Zhao Qian's mansion according to the time agreed in the past. At this juncture, he must have made an appointment to make an appointment.But he didn't expect that as soon as Zhuo Zhao entered the main hall of the Zhao Mansion, several attendants charged towards him with weapons in hand.Two fists were no match for four hands, and Zhuo Zhao was forced to lose. Zhao Gan came and asked only one sentence:

Is your loyalty believable?

Zhao Qian was very suspicious, Zhuo Zhao knew it.It was only some time ago that Zhao Gan took him to learn something about corpse soldiers, why don't you trust him now?Zhuo Zhao was still pressed against a sharp weapon on his neck, so he insisted:

The subordinates are loyal!

As soon as the words fell, a servant of the Zhao family behind him grabbed a knife and slashed at Zhuo Zhao's back fiercely. Although the armor blocked three points of his strength, the remaining seven points still hurt Zhuo Zhao's back. A big cut was made, and the instant pain caught him off guard and screamed in pain, and he knelt down on the ground.

Fresh blood flowed along the wound, Zhuo Zhao's head was sweating coldly, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, unable to speak.I felt the pain of the flesh and blood being split open, and the liquid that had crossed my body flowed to the floor, oozing red all over the floor.

His eyes went dark, and Zhuo Zhao passed out.

When he woke up again, Zhuo Zhao found that his hands and feet were tied and his clothes were taken off his upper body, and he was nestled in a simple and narrow cage called a water prison.Just half-opening his eyes, he heard footsteps faintly in his ears, and his rationality made him choose to pretend to be dizzy—to see the situation clearly for the time being.

"When he wakes up, ask him if he came here by order."

"My lord, Vice-General Zhuo is at least a member of the Imperial City Habayashi Cavalry. Even though he has become a servant of our family, he will not be able to return to his post for a while, so don't be afraid..."

"The emperor can still find me? Hmph."

Zhuo Zhao didn't hear the second part anymore, the wound on his back was soaked in the air while soaked in the water, making his consciousness blurred.

He woke up a few times in the middle. Although the wound was still painful, Zhuo Zhao could feel that the wound had been medicated. Otherwise, according to this situation, he would have died long ago.Every time the attendants guarding the water dungeon saw him wake up, they would repeat Zhao Qian's questions over and over again, Zhuo Zhaozi didn't say anything.

He is pushing me.

Zhuo Zhao endured the pain and analyzed.

-

"Zhao Gan, what do you mean?"

Zhuo Zhao stared at him with red eyes.

Sure enough, it was an old fox. While using his killer moves, he seemed to be tortured; but at the same time, he ordered someone to take care of the wound.Zhuo Zhao's chapped lips trembled slightly, and he breathed in a low voice—he seemed to be in better spirits today, and even had the strength to speak.If ordinary people were only feeling the pain from the wound on their back, they would definitely think that Zhao Gan was killing someone.

"What do I mean?" Zhao Gan took a few steps, with a very shallow smile on his face: "I just still have some distrust for Vice-General Zhuo. After all, it is such an important cooperation. How about this, Vice-General Zhuo now I have already been chopped off once, but I always feel that it is not enough to show my loyalty. How about chopping off a finger of my right hand? If Vice-General Zhuo agrees, then I will never doubt you again."

It's an enticing offer, even if it requires giving one's fingers.

Zhuo Zhao only thought about the time to read a few times silently.

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

This answer stunned the attendants.

The smile on Zhao Gan's face didn't diminish at all, he just said: "Vice General Zhuo dare not even show his loyalty? It seems that I overestimated you. Or, did you really come here under the orders of others? Are you squatting next to me on purpose?"

"Zhao Gan, why don't you eat some shit!" Zhuo Zhao immediately yelled, his bound hands clenched into fists and pulled the cage, which made his face turn red and several veins pop out. "I, Zhuo Zhao, am a majestic man. If you don't believe me, I will admit it if you choose to slash me. It's just that as a martial arts student, your hand is as important as my life. If you want to take my finger, you will not only deprive me of my future in fighting for meritorious deeds." , and took away my backbone as a man!"

"Damn it, I treat you with all my heart. What do you mean by treating me like this now! Zhao Gan, don't let me go out if you have the ability, or I, Zhuo Zhao, will kill you with my own hands!"

Zhuo Zhao became more and more excited, and the murderous remarks rang in everyone's ears.The attendant next to him was more panicked than Zhuo Zhao, and looked at Zhao Gan tremblingly, but he listened to being scolded calmly, as if these life-or-death words could not shake him at all.

"Deal with it."

Zhao Qian left these words lightly and left, Zhuo Zhao was thinking about cursing again, but felt a pain in the back of his head.

-

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar face.

"Are you awake?" Lian Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and touched his forehead with his hand. "Do you want some water? Can you get up, why don't you eat something to cushion your stomach?"

Zhuo Zhao nodded weakly while lying on the bed.

"Come on, I'll support you." Lian Xin helped him sit up halfway, then got up to get a tray filled with water and millet porridge.There is also a small wooden table that can be placed on the bed. Lian Xin arranged things for him meticulously and considerately. Fang looked at him with some distress:

"Your life is almost gone."

Zhuo Zhao didn't answer, just looked around; Lian Xin understood what he was thinking, and said lightly: "Don't worry, this is my father's other garden in the capital. When I came here, there was no tail, and there were hidden guards inside and outside. Be safe, you rest assured."

Hearing what Lianxin said, Zhuo Zhaocai smiled bitterly: "I thought I was still at that old fox's house. I'm starving to death. Is there anything else besides millet porridge? I really want to eat meat and drink..."

"Boy, it's a good thing you can still laugh?" Although Lian Xin couldn't really feel his situation, he could roughly guess it.Then Zhao Gan is really insane, how can he do this?Originally, Lian Xin deserved this kind of treatment, but Zhao Qian felt that Lian Xin was also unfavored and suppressed by Zi Sang Yu, so he must not be convinced; but Zhuo Zhao was different. Habayashi Qi, the suspicion of being ordered is very high.

"I heard from the people who helped you out that you scolded Zhao Gan badly in the water dungeon." Lian Xin clicked his tongue a few times, worrying for him and applauding him at the same time. "What do you think? What if he gets angry and cuts you off? If you refuse to give him the finger, he won't doubt it?"

Zhuo Zhao swallowed the millet porridge and smiled contemptuously.

"You don't know. As a soldier, especially those who reach the general level, they are full of arrogance. It is true that Zhao Gan is a suspicious person, but that is because he was a guard. Do you know what is important? Patience. He has a very high level of patience, so he will never get angry because I scolded a few words, this is one of them;”

"Secondly, if I agree to his request, I will actually reveal my identity. Just imagine, why would an arrogant general cut off his finger in a hurry to show his loyalty? Either he is useless, or he has evil intentions. Zhao Qian is very smart, but I am smarter than him - I bet he is testing me to see if I am a general against him."

It's a big deal to die, and you can't tell the matter.
