The Legend of Nanshan Jun

I seemed to have been in a coma for a long time, and my dream seemed to be bumping all the time, and every time I tried to open my eyes, I fell into a coma again.

I don't know how long I have been in a coma. When I gradually regain consciousness, I can see darkness.

My hands were tied behind my back with a rope, and my eyes were blindfolded. I don't know where I am at the moment.

These people are agile and seem to have martial arts, and their speech and conversation are very similar to Jianghu people, but I don't know much about Jianghu, so I don't know where they come from.

It felt like two people were pushing me through a long passage, with seven bends and eight turns, and I couldn't remember the distance from where I was.

Gradually, I heard noises all around, most of which were human screams and crying, like purgatory on earth.

The two escorts behind me seem to be whispering, "This mission is really strange. So many people in our building were dispatched urgently, but it was just to catch a weak man who has no strength to restrain a chicken."

"What do you know? This is the person whom the landlord personally named to arrest, and the deacon has repeatedly told him that he is definitely a big shot." The person who replied mysteriously said, "And I heard that the buyer this time is very powerful. Inside!"

"That's it...it's a pity that such a beautiful woman is going to die."

Listening to the meaning of their conversation, it turned out that someone in the palace hired a murderer to kill me.

The only thing I wonder is, how did Xuanji Building know that I fell into the hands of bandits?

While the two were talking, there seemed to be the sound of footsteps approaching unhurriedly, and then a thick voice came, "The new subordinates don't understand the rules, Nanshan Jun laughed at him."

This was followed by the grunts and begging for mercy of the two speakers just now.

I straightened up, although I couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of me, but there was no trace of panic in my tone, I just said calmly, "Since your Excellency already knows who I am, why don't you be honest with me?"

"Be honest? I'm afraid Mr. Nanshan won't be able to see what's in front of him." The man replied.

"There is nothing in this world that I dare not see, you can try it." I said calmly.

"If that's the case, please don't blame Mr. Nanshan." He smiled lightly and told the people around him, "Take off Mr. Nanshan's mask."

"Yes, Deacon."

The moment the mask was removed, I was really shocked by everything in front of me.

The light here is a bit dim, and the only light is the huge stove in the center.Surrounded by densely packed cages, each cage held some people.All of these people were unkempt, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.There are several people standing next to several cages, and they seem to be throwing something into the cages. There is another cage in the distance that seems to imprison an untrained person, who is resisting the torture imposed on him, but is instead more brutal punishment.

This is a very large place, centered on the stove in the middle, surrounded by four roads, divided into many cells, with oil pans, cannon posts, and dissection platforms, which really opened my eyes.

But at this time, I couldn't be timid. After looking around, I refocused on the person who spoke just now.

This is a man about 40 years old, with a strong build, a regular face, and a dark complexion. He is dressed like a quack.

His eyes were bright, and he couldn't help nodding slightly when he looked at me, "It seems that Mr. Nanshan has indeed seen the world. Anyone who has been here will be scared to death."

I waved my hand and said with a smile, "Where, this is indeed the first time I have seen such a scene, but I believe that the deacon of the Xuanji Building brought me here, so he probably wouldn't want to try this on me, right?"

There was a slight surprise on his face.

I continued, "My lower body is weak, I can't stand the torture, I just want to save my life. If Xuanjilou wants to know what I want to know, I will know everything, and I will talk endlessly; no matter how much the buyer pays you, I will also You can give it twice as much.”

If Xuanji Building simply wanted my life, it would not have brought me here, so there must be other reasons.

"Oh." The man seemed to be interested and asked, "How did Mr. Nanshan know that this place is the Xuanji Building?"

I sneered, "There are not many organizations that can know where I am and arrest me in such a short time."

But the most important thing is that I saw the flame pattern, which is the unique symbol of Xuanji Building.

There are two famous organizations in Jianghu: Xuanji Building and Qiankun Pavilion.

Qiankun Pavilion is famous for its mysterious and accurate predictions, while Xuanji Tower is famous for intelligence and murder.

The Xuanji Building has lasted for a hundred years, and the information spreads all over the Central Plains, especially in Nanxia.

The owner of Xuanji Building has always been a mystery, and the identity of the previous owner is unknown, but the name of the deacon is very famous.The deacon of this generation is the jade fan—Tan Zheng, who is good at using the jade fan in his hand as a weapon, and everyone in the world knows it.

"Your Majesty really deserves his name to become Lord Nanshan! It's just that if King Xia knew that Your Majesty was so weak, he would be very disappointed." Tan Zheng said noncommittally.

I smiled lightly, "Although I am the Nanshan Monarch, I am just a little male concubine. I am not allowed to do politics in the harem, and I don't know too many things. It's just that the deacon's name is like a thunder, and I want to make it easier for the deacon, so I will be... How about making friends?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is really interesting. They are all imprisoned by his subordinates, yet he is so naive. Does Your Majesty really think he is qualified to negotiate terms?" Tan Zheng sneered.

My heart was shaken, but I still said calmly, "Although your Xuanji Building is deeply entrenched, if you confront the imperial court, you may be like a mantis arm, and the deacon should be very clear about which is more important."

"Fight against the imperial court?" He chuckled lightly, "Where did you start? I heard that Mr. Nanshan was robbed by the bandits in Pingshui Village and his whereabouts are unknown. How could King Xia blame us Xuanji Tower?"

I couldn't help pinching the corner of my clothes tightly with my hands, took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, your purpose."

"Your Majesty is a sensible person. You should know the rules of Xuanji Tower: everything is just for business. Now that someone wants your life at a sky-high price, we naturally have no reason not to."

"Who do you dare to ask?" I couldn't help asking.

"It's inconvenient to say..."

"So, what do you want?" I fixed my eyes on him and said, "I should not simply arrest me to visit the Xuanji Building."

Tan Zheng replied slowly, "Of course there is another business."

"Oh?" I couldn't help asking, "What kind of business made you not plan to kill me for a while?"

Tan Zheng smiled slightly and said, "That means there are still people who want King Xia's life, and they happened to be lured by Lord Nanshan."

I grimaced, I didn't expect someone to kill me and Li Zhenrui at the same time.

Now I don't have time to guess who it is, I can only think about how to escape and notify Li Zhenrui.

I calmed down and said, "It seems that I really think highly of you. You dare to assassinate the emperor with a small mystery building. Where did you get the confidence?"

"Some people buy and others sell. It's normal for your lord to be confused, so I specially asked you to come and stay in the house for a few days. I believe King Xia will come to meet you soon." Tan Zheng said slowly.

Several thoughts flashed through my mind, I was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Since you invited me to stay for a few days, is this the way Xuanjilou treats guests?"

"Then I'm afraid I will wrong you. As a bait, the treatment in our Xuanji building is really not good. Come and imprison this person in a cell." Tan Zheng clapped his hands, and soon several people came behind me.

I was pushed forward by one of them, I turned around and frowned and said, "Deacon, are you also from Daxia? Put on a face, the people under you should not deceive others too much."

He glanced at me quickly, nodded and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Nanshan please." Turning around, he said to the human standing beside him, "Drag out, chop your hands."

"Yes." The person beside him bowed his head and said yes, without blinking.

Being locked in a dungeon and watching the death row prisoners around me being treated cruelly all the time made me almost sick.Although the food brought in was acceptable, he still couldn't swallow it, and vomited it out after a few mouthfuls, so he lost weight unknowingly.

When I was thinking hard about how to deal with it, I was "invited" out of the dungeon by a guard, and I was taken to a place still blindfolded and with my mouth covered.

When I opened my eyes, my eyes were full of brightness, which made me unable to adapt for a while.

For the first time in days, he was able to breathe fresh air freely, without having to face the damp and dark atmosphere of the dungeon.

This is a garden. Although it cannot be compared with the Royal Garden, the pavilions and pavilions are well arranged, making it difficult to associate with the Xuanji Building, which murders and robs.

But it is obvious that I am still in the Xuanji Building.Moreover, the surrounding area is heavily guarded, and there is no way to escape.

I looked around for a while and then turned my attention to the focus: the figure with his back to me was wearing a dark red robe with gold trim, and the familiar voice made my heart beat violently.

And then the sound of their conversation——

"Your Majesty, it is an honor for Xuanjilou to condescend to you."

"No need to talk nonsense, what about people?"

"Just turn around."

It's really Li Zhenrui!

I mouthed silently, "Zixuan."

The corners of his lips curled up, and he gave me a reassuring smile.

"People have seen it, what does the emperor think?"

"I agree."

I don't know what they are talking about, but Li Zhenrui must have paid something.

When I was looking at his back anxiously, a humane voice came out from behind the deacon, "The landlord has orders, please move the emperor."

"Let's go." With a wave of his hand, he didn't seem to be in a desperate situation.

And what surprised me even more was that there was no guard around him, no one.

I was very worried about what they would do to Zixuan, but I couldn't see him now, and I was immediately put on a hood and taken to a place.

Fortunately, this is no longer a dungeon, but a hall, and the people behind me were replaced by two maids standing on one side.

After a while, Tan Zheng came again, but behind him was a man wearing a mask. He was similar in stature to Zixuan, but he was dressed as a Jianghu man, standing with his hands behind his back, and he could feel a sense of oppression far away from me.

Tan Zheng bowed his head and whispered a few words in his ear with a respectful attitude.

He nodded slightly, and then Tan Zheng walked towards me.

If I guessed correctly, the person behind Tan Zheng should be the owner of Xuanji Building.

"Mr. Nanshan, you just saw that King Xia has thrown himself into the trap, and we will hand him over to the buyer tomorrow. And you are useless. If you want us to let you go, you have to pay a price." Tan Zheng calmly said to me.

I looked at the back of the owner of Xuanji Building suspiciously, feeling a little weird.

Looking back, he asked, "What price?"

"King Xia said that he gave you a very important thing. This thing is related to the national destiny of Daxia. We want this thing."

I didn't expect Tan Zheng to ask this, and I was a little confused for a while.

When did Li Zhenrui give me something important?Thinking about this misfortune, it just gave me a cylinder to summon guards, so what kind of national luck is that?However, there seems to be a lifelike tiger head carved inside.

If it's about the fate of the country... Could it be the Tiger Talisman?I was so startled that I almost lost my footing.

Impossible, if it is really a tiger talisman, how could Li Zhenrui put it in my hands so easily?

If it's really a tiger talisman, wouldn't I put Daxia in danger if I hand it over?Definitely impossible.

Seeing that I still didn't respond after a long time, he took a few steps and said again, "I know Your Majesty will be hesitant, so our landlord has made two more requests, and it's okay if Your Majesty can do it."

"any request?"

"According to the current trend, Great Xia is bound to choose another new owner. If Your Majesty helps us get the Tiger Talisman, then Your Majesty's current treatment will remain the same, and we promise that there will be other good preferential treatment."

I couldn't help but clenched my fists, "When did the Xuanji Tower start buying the country?" I said disdainfully, "You don't have to think about the Tiger Talisman anymore, such an important thing, let alone get it, I have never even looked at it I have seen it. And I will never do such a traitorous thing, so you should give up on it."

"Didn't your majesty say that you will know everything without saying everything, right? Now, it seems that this sincerity is not enough." Tan Zheng said dissatisfied.

"That depends on what it is, you should say another request." I frowned.

Tan Zheng smiled mysteriously, "As for the other one, it depends on whether Your Majesty is willing."

"Oh, tell me." I asked.

"That is to invite you to be our landlord's male favourite." He said it plainly, but I was so surprised that I was almost demented.

And the owner of the Xuanji Building behind him is even more indifferent and calm, which makes me suspect that I really got it wrong.

However——"I think your lord should have understood it. That's right, it's the male favourite." Tan Zheng repeated.

I glanced contemptuously at the proprietor of Xuanji Building behind him, and said disdainfully, "How can Xuanji Building, let me be a male favourite?"

"Mr. Nanshan is really joking. The last person who said this has only one skin left in the dungeon." Tan Zheng looked a little annoyed.

But I just said lightly, "Then it's better to peel off my skin. I only serve the emperor, and I don't pay attention to other men."

"Mr. Nanshan, don't toast and refuse to eat the fine wine, or you won't have any good fruit for you." Tan Zheng seemed to have no patience.

But I just said lightly, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Xuanjilou doesn't do business well and gets involved in court struggles. It's just asking for death. I won't be with you."

"Isn't Your Majesty still willing to do this?" He clapped his hands and pushed someone out.

It was still in the dark purple and gold inlaid black robe, but the man's hands were bound, and his face was hidden from view by the hood.Someone behind him kicked him hard at the knuckles of his knee, forcing him to his knees.

My heart couldn't help throbbing.

This is Li Zhenrui, the majestic Great Xia Emperor, when did he suffer such humiliation?And he was in this situation for me.

It's all my fault. If I didn't climb mountains on a whim at that time, there wouldn't be so many things.

Feeling ashamed and pained in his heart, Tan Zheng threatened again and again, "If you don't agree, then I have to go to the dungeon for the emperor. I believe he has tried all the ninety-nine and eighty-one criminal laws of my Xuanji Tower, and he should die without a trace. It's a pity. They are all dying anyway, and the buyer won't mind what happens to him in the end."

"No." I begged.

"Then it depends on whether you are willing or not." Tan Zheng sneered.

"I will." I finally nodded in resignation, and gave Li Zhenrui a sad look.

But following the word "I", Li Zhenrui didn't respond at all, but the owner of the Xuanji Building trembled inaudibly, which made me a little puzzled.

Could it be that my reaction was so unexpected to him?

In the blink of an eye, something flashed in my mind, and I slowly relaxed my frowning eyebrows and said, "However, I have something to say to the landlord. I wonder if the landlord is willing?"

Tan Zheng also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, before he realized that I agreed so quickly and prepared to sacrifice myself, a trace of disdain could not help but appear in my eyes.

I don't care what he thinks, I just keep my eyes on the landlord.

Tan Zheng also turned his head to ask the landlord to show him, he nodded calmly, and then left.

There was no word during the whole process.

I looked at his leaving back, lost in thought.
