After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

After Chu Shao was brought to the Ministry of Punishment, he didn't even go to court, and was taken directly to the prison.

There was no interrogation, and he was directly convicted, which was expected, and he was not panicked.

When stepping into the prison, a rotten smell of rotten wood hits the face. The walls of the prison are all made of large stones. Because it is summer, there is damp water vapor on the stone walls.

All kinds of people were imprisoned in the prisons on both sides of the road, most of them were men, who were either tied up with chains, or collapsed on the ground with their bodies ripped apart, lingering on the ground. Recently, a quarter of an hour in such an environment would drive one mad.

"Go in."

The guards violently pushed Chu Shao into the deepest prison.

The ground was covered with messy straw, Chu Shao staggered and almost fell, fortunately he helped the door frame so he didn't fall, but his hand was bleeding from the barb on the wooden door.

He covered the small wound with his sleeve, found a barely dry straw in the wet floor and sat down, the position was just next to the adjacent prison.

As soon as he sat down, someone slammed into the wooden bar next to his ear. Chu Shao was startled, and turned his head to look.

In the dim light, I saw a mass of black hair and a messy figure, like a lion that just rolled out of the black mud. You have to look closely to confirm that it is a person.

The man asked, "Are you also a prisoner of Nanqi?"

All he could see was the whites of the other party's eyes flickering, his mouth opening and closing, and the words he spoke with a strong Qizhou accent.

"I'm not a prisoner."

Chu Qingxu doesn't like the word "captive", this kind of relationship directly puts him and Jiugu on opposite sides, he doesn't like it.

But the man said: "The people locked here are all prisoners of Nanqi, and you are also a prisoner!"

"Look, look at the man across from you."

He pointed to the man opposite Chu Shao who was hung upside down. His face was bloodshot, his eyes turned white, and his figure was thin. At first glance, he looked like an old mummy. Some familiar, as if seen somewhere.

"He used to be the most famous archer in Nanqi. He once took the heads of two young generals in Zhongqin with one arrow. Do you know that Zhongqin has a dessert called candied haws? The heads of those two young generals were bloody. It's really like a bunch of candied haws, bloody, bloody, hahahaha."

"..." Chu Shao thought of the bunches of candied haws he had eaten in Suizhou, and felt a little nauseous for some reason. He wanted to stay away from this lunatic, but the other party grabbed his arm through the wooden fence.

"Don't go, tell me, how is Nanqi now?" "There is no Nanqi in this world, only Zhongqinqi Prefecture." Chu Shao answered him cruelly.

"You're talking nonsense! How could Nanqi disappear!"

"Your stupid king surnamed Wei has run away. If the country is not a country, naturally there is only one way to perish."

"You nonsense! You nonsense! The emperor is useless, but we still have the Chu family! We still have the God of War! Nanqi has never been supported by the Wei family!"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Nanxi! Nanxi!!" The madman's eyes suddenly burst into light, as if these two words really illuminated his hope like a ray of light.

Chu Shao heard about the deeds of this "General Nanxi" from the storyteller, and there are many stories about this hero in Qizhou. He knows that this hero is powerful, but he has no waves in his heart. However, the stories in the script did not give him much comfort.

He was about to break free from the lunatic's hand and stay away from him, because he smelled like swill.

However, Chu Shao was completely stunned by the other party's next sentence.

"The Anning Hou's Mansion is the radiance of Nanqi, and the Anning Hou Chu lightly illuminates our hope."

"..."

"What did you say?"

The lunatic repeated this sentence with a smile, Chu Shao heard it clearly, he was calling his own name.

Maybe it's just a name change.

Now it was his turn to grab the lunatic's arm, "Which Xu? Which Chu Qingxu are you talking about?"

The lunatic suddenly murmured a line of poetry: "The sun is bright and bright...the light mist lowers the cage and the fragrant tree..."

He muttered a few words, and suddenly began to sing in Nanqi minor.

There is a small square window above the prison, through which sunlight enters the prison, the lunatic broke free from Chu Shao's weak hand, ran to the small sunlight, sang this poem, and danced with his hands and feet .

"Let's name our son Shao, with the word Qingxu. Shao'er shines into my mother's life like the gentle and warm sunshine."

"Mother loves Shao'er the most."

"Daddy also loves Xiao Shao the most."

"Qingxu, come to my brother, and my brother will take you to fly a kite!"

The past time of the Hou Mansion was condensed into a sentence of words with flesh and blood, which penetrated into Chu Shao's memory as white as paper.

He closed his eyes, and his soul seemed to return to Qizhou Marquis Mansion, where every plant and tree was stained with the laughter of the past.

Daddy hugged his small body, threw him into the air and caught him firmly, the childish giggles resounded over the Hou's mansion.

Under the peach blossom tree, his brother made a small swing for him, and sat on it with his arms in his arms, pushing him higher and higher, but he was not afraid at all, and even laughed more joyfully.

When he was hugged by his mother, he held up the small wooden sword again, gestured in the air, and acted like a baby to his mother tenderly, saying that he also wanted a rattle the size of a washbasin.

He sat in his father's arms and rode a horse, leaned against his mother's arms to satisfy his needs, and his elder brother would often poke the milk fat on his face with his hands, which woke him up and he could only coax him obediently.

This is a home.

However, when Chu Shao opened his eyes, he was still in the cage, and all he could see was blood and desolation.

The number one archer of Nanqi on the opposite side was hanging upside down until he was about to die, when he was finally untied from the rope and put down. His body twitched twice in Chu Shao's sight, and he fell silent.

But he won't die, he will be tortured like this every day, the people in the punishment department know how to completely destroy people's will.

Only then did he see that the sleeves of the archer's hands were empty.

Chu Shao's memory turned into a blank sheet of paper again, he only remembered that day, when Huai Zhen gave Wen Pei a good bow, he said lightly that it was a spoil from the number one archer in Nanqi.

Archer, without bow or hand, living in this world is more painful than death.

If possible, Chu Shao is willing to go there and give him a good time, so that he will be spared the torture in the future.

The lunatic was still dancing and singing that line, at first crying like a ghost, then whining.

Until an official in red official uniform stepped into the prison and heard the piercing singing, he waved his hand, and immediately a soldier rushed in and punched the madman down.

The lunatic squirted blood from his mouth and nose, and was still singing. Although the blood-quenching singing was weak, it never stopped.

Then the lock of Chu Shao's prison was opened.

"My lord, His Royal Highness King Yu has specifically ordered you not to use torture or go to jail, your lord must be measured."

The guard hurriedly followed Li Pu, the fourth-rank Guide general, and warned him.

Li Pu asked back: "King Yu hasn't surpassed the emperor after all, are you teaching General Ben how to do things?"

The guard dared not say anything more.

Li Pu walked into the prison, stepped on the straw, rolled up his sleeves, and glanced at Chu Qingxu, who was sitting in the corner, looking extremely weak, with hatred in his eyes.

"Don't torture, use this general's fist."

The guard was startled: "My lord!?" His fist is much more severe than the punishment of the Ministry of Punishment!

"This is where prisoners of war are kept! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As the winner, I can naturally vent my unhappiness on the loser."

"..." The guard thought, Nanqi was defeated by King Yu, not by you, General Li.

Li Pu was beaten so badly that he returned to Beijing to ask for help.

Now, she is taking advantage of the lord's glory and saying that she is the winner.

"I'm afraid that if you offend the prince, it will be useless to the general." He reminded.

Li Pu turned a deaf ear to him, and looked at Chu Shao with his tiger eyes. This person completely lost the demeanor of a general in the past. Just looking at his posture, he was as fragile as those vulgar objects in Golan cottages, and could be broken with a pinch.

However, he is still subconsciously afraid of this former enemy—in a sense, his fear has the same source as Tu Wei.

"Bring a piece of iron chain and lock his feet." Li Pu had heard all about Suizhou. He didn't dare to get too close to Chu Shao, but thought of locking his legs first—to prevent himself Was kicked to waste.

Forced by the authority, the guards could only do so, and thought that the future heir would be King Yu, and it would be inappropriate to offend Prince Yu's mansion now, so he struggled repeatedly, and quietly found an unremarkable servant, and asked him to report to Prince Yu's mansion.

Chu Shao's feet were chained again, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

He stood in the corner of the prison, looking directly at Li Pu. The opponent was a strong general on the battlefield, and he was considered a good man. In this dark space, he had to lock Chu Shao's feet before he dared to approach.

He pinched Chu Shao's chin with those rough hands, "Your Majesty asked me to interrogate you. If you kneel down and beg me now, I will make you suffer less."

Chu Shao asked back: "I don't kneel, do you dare to kill me?"

Li Pu curled his mouth and let out a smirk, suddenly grabbed Chu Shao's long hair, brought Chu Shao to the stone wall with one hand, and slammed the back of his head against the hard stone wall.

There was a muffled bang, and the soldiers guarding the door were startled, and even the singing in the prison next door stopped.

Amidst a long burst of tinnitus, Chu Shao's vision flickered, and the hand that grabbed his hair loosened. He lost his support, and slowly fell to the ground with his back leaning against the wall. Moist liquid flowed out from the back of his head, fresh The smell of blood penetrated into his nostrils.

In the cloudy field of vision, he saw Li Pu grinning his teeth and asking viciously: "If Nan Qi is still there, you are a righteous queen, what about your husband Wei Yong who became the king of subjugation?! Did he tell you? , Where did he go to take refuge? Do you want to make a comeback with the influence of Beiyou? What are your plans with King Yu? Do you want to cooperate with the outside? Say!!"

"........"

Chu Shao half closed his eyes, what he saw was black and white.

He didn't answer a word, only for Huaizhen's promise of "I'll let you come out clean".

Chu Qingxu doesn't feel inferior because she was trapped in Nanqi, but she really minds the dirty relationship with Wei Yong.

In the past year, Huai Zhen didn't mention this matter, and Chu Shao couldn't remember what happened to him in the past, and they lived in peace until Li Pu asked.

A few or two sentences aroused his hatred of Wei Yong engraved in his bones.

His heart suddenly burst into burning pain, and he felt ashamed and desperate for betraying Huai Zhen.

Li Pu's mouth was still opening and closing: "King Yu also has half of the blood of a foreign race. Could it be that he deliberately colluded with you in order to harm the Holy One? If he is not of my race, his heart must be different. King Yu and you are of the same breed! ah!"

He suddenly let out a cry of pain, and Chu Shao bit the hand holding his chin back, blood flowed, he raised his left hand and slammed it to the side of Chu Shao's face.

Chu Shao spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell limp on the ground sideways, unable to open his eyes.

Seeing that almost half of his hand was bitten off, Li Pu was so angry that he kicked Chu Qingxu's stomach a few times.

He was venting, venting that he was beaten by this man on the battlefield in the past, trying to erase the humiliating past of kneeling on the ground begging for mercy in the Raoyin Valley, as if as long as Chu Shao died, he would lose face a few times The battle can be written off.

In the glory of King Yu, he vented his anger accumulated over the years of incompetence and fiasco. He wished he could strangle Chu Shao to death, strangling himself who knelt in front of Nanqi soldiers and kowtowed for mercy in the past.

Even the guard at the door couldn't stand it any longer, he rushed forward to stop him and said, "Master Li! Stop! People are going to be killed by you!!"

Li Pu turned a deaf ear to it. He stepped on Chu Shao's softest abdomen with his iron booted feet until his snow-white prison uniform overflowed with blood. The poor man resists nothing.

Li Pu's eyes were bloodshot, and he cursed wildly: "A subjugated person, his life is the most humble. It is his honor to die at my feet...!"

Before he finished speaking, his throat tightened, and then his body was suddenly hoisted from behind his back into the air, and he was thrown two meters away like throwing garbage, smashing into the prison's wooden bars.

"My lord!" the guard exclaimed.

After Huai Zhen threw Li Pu away, he saw Shao's appearance clearly.

He fell in the straw, his hair was disheveled, a pool of dark blood was fainted from the back of his head, the clothes on his abdomen were soaked in blood, and there were more damned chains on his feet.

The guard quickly took the key to open the lock on the iron chain.

Huai Zhen wanted to hug Chu Shao, but he didn't know where to start.

He went beyond the rules and used the authority of the prince to oppress the Ministry of Punishment not to use torture, thinking that at least Chu Shao could be spared the pain of flesh and blood.

After all, he was too naive. This is the prisoner of war detention center of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. In addition to the guards of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, those in the barracks are guarding this place.

The soldiers who had been on the battlefield in the past few years more or less hated Nan Qi who was once extremely powerful. Like Li Pu, they had a blood feud with Chu Qingxu.

It seems that as long as there is another external force touching, Chu Qingxu will die.

Huai Zhen didn't dare to move him easily, and sternly asked the guards to bring in Murong who was stopped outside. The guards were also afraid of life, so they immediately ran out to pick him up.

It was only at this time that Li Pu recovered from the stunned state, and he tried to get up.

Huai Zhen grabbed the heavy iron chain on the ground and slammed it down on Li Pu's face.

The memory of the motherland begins to wake up from this moment.
