The Prison of Thunderbolt

The desolate and quiet courtyard, even though it maintains its old appearance due to frequent cleaning, has lost its former bustle and popularity because it has not been inhabited for a long time.

Standing quietly under the century-old ginkgo tree in the yard, the indifferent expression faded away, and what came to mind was the voice and smile of old friends, people, standing silently, listening to the whispers in the wind.

"Unexpectedly, you still remember this place."

With an indifferent voice, a young man in black with a sword in his hand walked in slowly, half of his face was covered by loose blond hair, revealing his handsome outline.

"Zhiqiu."

Xuan Ling turned her head and stared at her friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, her indifferent gaze turned into a trace of nostalgia: "Long time no see."

"Xuan Ling..." Ruoye Zhiqiu came under the tree, stroking the tree that had accompanied their brothers for many years, "Why did you do it for so many years?"

If the Ye family survives in name only, it is no longer the number one family under the imperial line of Sen Prison. Even if you tried your best to keep the residence of the Ye family, so what?

Luo Ye's family... is gone after all.

"I have already obtained the permission of my father, as long as I complete the tasks he entrusted to me, the Ruoye family can return to the forest prison!"

Rao is as calm as Ye Zhiqiu, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help turning around suddenly: "Is what you said true?"

"I won't lie to you."

"I believe in you, but..." I can't believe in Hades...

How much the Ruoye family paid for the Sen Prison, but in the end, it was still not worth a single negligence...

Years of glory are scattered like a dream, and the king's heart is unpredictable, how can he dare to believe it again?

"When the Ruoye family incident happened, I was still young and powerless; but as I said, one day, I will return the Ruoye family to the forest prison!"

The midnight-like starry eyes lost their indifference and were full of determination.

"Zhiqiu, trust me, I will never break my promise!"

"I believe in you." Zhiqiu smiled slightly, "Fortunately in my life, I never broke up with you because of the expulsion."

"I am the same," as if the ice and snow melted, the light smile on the snow-like face amazed Shi Shi, "Zhiqiu, my friend."

------------------------------------------

Ice Fire Xuanli Palace.

"Mynah."

"Xuan Ling?" The person sitting alone in the hall with his eyes closed and resting his mind opened his eyes, "Why are you here?"

"I'm leaving the forest prison."

"You..." Xuanli stood up abruptly, "Are you going to the misery?"

"Ah."

Xuanli frowned: "What are you doing in a difficult place?"

"I have something to do."

"You have never been in a difficult situation, and you don't have the heart to fight against a difficult situation like Xuan Xiao. What can you do if you go to a difficult situation?"

"..." Xuan Ling didn't want to say much at first, but Xuan Li's expression had already shown that if he didn't explain clearly, he was afraid that the journey in adversity would not be so easy to carry out, so he had to tell the truth. He has always been soft-hearted, "My father promised me that as long as I complete the tasks he entrusted, I will allow the Ruoye family to return to the forest prison."

"It's for the Ruoye family again!" Xuanli has always had a dislike for the members of the Ruoye family, and seeing Xuan Ling, who has always been ignorant, wading into the muddy water for the Ruoye family, is even more displeased, "Xuan Li Listen, people from the Ruoye family will take care of the affairs of the Ruoye family, why should you..."

"Zhiqiu is my good friend, so I can't just sit idly by." In the past, Ruoye's family matter broke out, and he couldn't help, so he was ashamed of Zhiqiu; now that he has this ability, how can he just sit idly by?

What's more... they are the ones who are sorry for Luo Ye's family...

"You..." Knowing that once Xuan Ling made a decision, he would not waver again, Xuan Li shook his head, "There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the affliction, masters are like clouds, and because of Xuanxiao's entry into the affliction, he was hostile to the prison, Xuan Ling, You go this time, be careful in everything."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. Besides, the fourth brother is also in a difficult situation. If necessary, I will go to find him."

Xuanli thought for a while, but still worried: "Why don't I go with you."

"No need, starling." Xuan Ling continued, "I didn't go this time to be an enemy of the plight, and I won't conflict with the people in the plight." After a pause, he said, "I promise you, once you finish I will return to Forest Prison immediately for the task entrusted by my father."

"...Be careful in everything, come and find me whenever necessary."

"Well, I see, starling."

Looking at the Xuanli Hall which had returned to silence, Xuanli suddenly sighed softly.

The passage between the adversity and the forest prison was opened, and all the brothers left one by one. Although the struggle for imperial power has long existed, it is inevitable, but... the opening of the adversity passage has obviously intensified this struggle. This is really... a good thing ……

he does not know……

As one of the three major swordsmen in Lie Sen Prison, Xuanli sometimes feels powerless.

It was as if something was preordained in the dark, but he was powerless to stop it.

The only thing Xuanli can do is to try his best to protect what he values.

"Starling!"

Hearing a clear voice beside his ear, Xuanli opened his eyes which had been closed just now, and there was a trace of helplessness in them.

"Sixteenth brother, what are you doing so suddenly?"

"The big thing is not good, starling!" Xuan Yi panicked, "I went to Xuan Ling Hall to look for Xiao Ling, but found that Xiao Ling was gone!"

what a big deal...

Xuan Ling, the dead man who would not take a step out of the Xuan Ling Hall unless someone forced him to go out, actually took the initiative to step out of the Xuan Ling Hall...

There is definitely a problem! !

"..." Xuan Ling is gone, why did you say that he was abducted?

The sixteenth brother's thinking is really getting more and more unrestrained...

Not without a headache, Xuan Li said: "Xuan Ling has gone to a difficult place."

"Hey, starling, how do you know?"

"Xuan Ling just came to say goodbye to me."

"Then why didn't Xiao Ling go to say goodbye to me?" Xuan Yi looked sad, "Could it be that Xiao Ling doesn't love me?"

Never loved before...

Xuanli: "..." -_-｜｜｜

"Wait, myna, what are you talking about? Did Xiao Ling go to a difficult place?" Xuan Yi's eyes widened, did he hear wrong?Xuan Ling didn't go to a difficult place, did he?

"Is there a problem with Xuan Ling going to the misery?" Xuan Li frowned. Although the misery is full of experts, with Xuan Ling's ability, there is no problem with self-protection. What's the matter with Xuan Yi's sky-falling expression?

Myna, you are so naive...

Distress is a bottomless pit...

And no matter how powerful you are, as long as the time is up, you will fall out of the pit and make you want to cry! !

How many amazing and brilliant bosses have been pitted in that place throughout the ages!

Xuan Ling, why are you so overwhelmed!

Wait, with Xuan Ling's personality that doesn't care about everything, and doesn't have any communication with the plight, how could he take the initiative to go to the plight?

"Brother, what is Xiao Ling doing in a difficult place?" Xuan Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart, could it be...

Xuanli said lightly: "Father's order."

really……

Xuan Yi's heart sank, Father, after so many years of silence, can you finally bear it?

He suddenly smiled brightly: "Oh, myna, I suddenly feel that I am tired of seeing the scenery of the forest prison, and I want to go to the misery, myna, please don't keep me~~ Goodbye, myna~~ I will remember to bring you the misery I’m back from the special products~~”

Seeing the empty hall again, Xuanli was speechless for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Xuan Yi's personality doesn't seem very reliable, but...

With him looking for Xuan Ling, you can feel a little relieved.

and many more……

Xuanli stood up abruptly, his expression changed slightly.

He just said that he seemed to have overlooked something. He just remembered that they guessed that there might be other truths behind the father's retreat, and no one was allowed to disturb him, but Xuan Ling said that he was ordered by his father... Is it the father who is here? They didn't know whether they gave Xuan Ling an order or...

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"The starry lake condenses the light, the moon reflects flawlessly, and a clear song is intoxicating to the youth. The long song is facing the wind, the landscape is a painting, and a volume of Hatsune listens to the world."

Inside the cave, upon hearing this long-lost familiar voice, Tai Sui's heart trembled. He looked up at the figure stepping into the cave step by step from the entrance of the cave, met those black eyes that were still as cold as snow, and slowly called out: " Seventeen princes."

"It's been a long time, Tai Sui." Xuan Ling's eyes like snow and ice fell on Tian Luozi who subconsciously hid behind Sai Sui, and only poked out a face to look at him timidly, a trace of strangeness flashed away, "Is this my nineteenth imperial brother?"

"It's Tian Luozi." Although Tai Sui didn't feel any hostility from Xuan Ling, he never forgot that it was the Thirteenth Prince, Fourteenth Prince and Fifteenth Prince who died in the hunting that year, and the Seventeenth Prince Xuan Ling also returned from a serious injury.

Xuan Xiao had murderous thoughts towards Tian Luozi because he was seriously ill for a time, and the other princes also had no affection for Tian Luozi, and even had a faint murderous intention. He really didn't dare to bet on Xuan Ling's kindness towards Tian Luozi.

"Don't worry, I just want to take a look at my long-lost nineteenth brother," Xuan Ling closed her eyes, putting Tai Sui's defense in her eyes, "However, if you don't want anything to happen to the nineteenth brother, you'd better do it now." Let's take him to retreat, and never ask about worldly affairs, maybe we can leave the nineteenth emperor's life behind."

"Prince Seventeen, what does this mean?"

"The passage between the prison and the misery has been opened, Xuan Xiao has already left, and the other emperor brothers are also about to move, what do you think?"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Tai Sui's eyes: "Thank you, Prince Seventeen, for reminding me."

Xuan Ling raised her eyes and glanced at him, then suddenly raised her hand and threw something: "If Xuan Xiao insists on killing the nineteenth brother, you can show him this."

Said that Tai Sui subconsciously raised his hand to take it, and looked at it carefully, but was startled.

The jade pendant with warm tentacles is the token that represents the Seventeenth Prince Xuan Ling. Seeing the token is like meeting someone. With this token, it is equivalent to being protected by the Seventeenth Prince.

The Seventeenth Prince has a good relationship with Prince Xuanxiao. For the sake of the Seventeenth Prince, even if Prince Xuanxiao wants to kill Tian Luozi, he will show some affection before Tian Luozi really threatens him.

But... Knowing the fate of Tian Luozi meeting Brother Jiu Shi, the seventeenth prince escaped from death, why would he take action to protect Tian Luozi now?

"I still owe you a favor."

At that time, the owner of the Ruoye family committed suicide in order to apologize, and the Ruoye family was expelled. He was still young and had no room to speak. .

It is said that Tai Sui didn't take this matter to heart, but he remembered this favor.

Said Tai Sui was stunned, when did the Seventeenth Prince owe him favors?

Seeing the doubts about Tai Sui, Xuan Ling had no intention of explaining, turned around and left, walked two steps and then stopped.

He turned his face to the side, looked at him wondering why he suddenly stopped talking about Tai Sui, and left a sentence.

"The token has the ability to communicate. If there is trouble, it will be driven by spiritual power, and I will receive the message."

"The Seventeenth Prince..."

"Why do you think I came to a difficult place?" Xuan Ling snorted softly, turned and left.

Said that Tai Sui was stunned for a while before he realized that, yes, the Seventeenth Prince would come to a difficult situation, he must have been ordered by the King of Hades, otherwise, this has never been interested in other things except medicine and poison, and he hates the troublesome Seventeenth Prince , How could he take the initiative to step out of the Xuanling Hall and wade into the muddy waters of suffering?

So, the reason why the seventeenth prince protects Tian Luozi is also because of the king of hell?

"That's all I can say, Tai Sui, please do it yourself."

When the voice fell, the person had disappeared.

"Master..." Tian Luozi, who has been hiding behind Tai Sui since Xuan Ling came, said cautiously, "Is that my Seventeenth Brother?" In the memory of poor Sen Prison, he still remembers that Xuan Ling, the seventeenth emperor brother, was one of the rare three emperor brothers who did not have any malice towards him... The other two, one is the gentle elder brother Xuan Bin One is Xuantong, the fourth brother who loves swords like his life... As for the other brothers, they either ignore or hostile, but they don't have a good impression of him.

After so many years, the Seventeenth Emperor's brother looks really...more and more beautiful...

If it wasn't for the fact that there wasn't the slightest softness that a woman should have between his brows, he would have almost regarded him as a girl...

Said Tai Sui nodded slightly: "The Seventeenth Prince, there should be no hostility towards you, Tian Luozi, if one day you... maybe you can ask the Seventeenth Prince for help..."

"Master, Brother Seventeen is so beautiful!"

Said that Tai Sui was silent, the face of the Seventeenth Prince... It really is Yanguan Senprison...

He calmly said: "Tian Luozi, don't mention the word "beautiful" in front of the Seventeenth Prince."

"Oh, but why, Master?"

"Because a man cannot be described as beautiful."

"Oh, I see, Master."
