Is the prince abolished today?

Chapter 75 Feather

"What's going on? Can the medical officer see it?"

"Yes." The guards panicked: "The medical officer said that the weather may be hot and dry, and the heat of the 'inmate' will stimulate the stomach and intestines, causing vomiting and diarrhea."

This fake bait is the most critical part of the whole plan, and nothing can go wrong.If the situation cannot be alleviated, it can only be replaced.It is not difficult to find a boy of about sixteen and above average in the imperial capital, but now that the news has been released, people who respect the king may rush in at any time, and the arrow is on the string, where will he turn into a living person.

"I'm going to have a look."

Wei Zhao stood up and wanted to leave, but Mu Yun suddenly said, "It's better to let Gu go!"

"Gu heard that the killer is a teenager, about the same age as Gu, why not let Gu pretend to be the killer and lure his accomplices out!"

The soldier opened his mouth wide in surprise.Little prince, is this serious?How could the delicate and weak little prince still have such guts and courage?

Wei Zhao shook his head resolutely: "No, this matter is too risky. Your Highness has such a valuable status, how can you put yourself in danger."

The young man climbed up from the eaves, stepped in front of him, and said, "Isn't there still Marquis Wei? Marquis Wei will definitely stay by Gu's side and protect Gu, right? Since Gu is the prince, he should lead the way, Fight with everyone, if you encounter danger, hide back, the people will look down on you."

"Besides, apart from Gu's proposal, can Marquis Wei think of a better solution? I heard that those killers are very cunning. If Marquis Wei just randomly finds someone to stand on top of him, he will definitely show his feet."

Wei Zhao was a little surprised.

This brat actually guessed his plan?

What they have to face today is not ordinary villains, but the killers with unfathomable martial arts. Not to mention these pampered noble children, I am afraid that even the military generals in the court would not have the guts to be this "bait". The bloody little brat dared to risk his life without even blinking his eyes?

"Your Highness, have you figured it out?"

Wei Zhao looked directly into the boy's eyes and asked again seriously.

In all fairness, he was unwilling to make such an arrangement, but this brat was right. Now, he really has no better choice.

The young man nodded heavily, his eyes sparkling: "I trust Marquis Wei alone!"

"Don't worry, Marquis Wei, although Gu is not good at martial arts, his luck has always been good. With Gu, Marquis Wei will definitely win the battle and wipe out those villains!"

"Besides, Gu is very smart and has a quick reaction. He will definitely not hold Wei Hou back."

"Okay." Wei Zhao then took the man down from the eaves, and ordered his soldiers: "Send Your Highness to the stone prison."

"Stone prison?" The young man immediately asked nervously, "Won't Marquis Wei go with Gu?"

"Stay in such a dark place, Gu will be afraid."

The soldier's mood became more and more complicated. Such a timid little prince dared to be a bait to lure Di Ting's killer without fear of death. How much determination and courage were needed.Are the negative rumors about the little prince in the DPRK really credible?Judging from the facts he observed, this is clearly a weak, strong, courageous and good-natured young man. How could he be so vicious?Where is the moodiness?Someone must be jealous of His Highness the Crown Prince's luck, and deliberately fabricated those false rumors to slander His Highness's reputation, it's really disgusting.

Wei Zhao looked at this brat who had just sworn that he wouldn't hold him back, and immediately smiled and said, "I'll go check the security system again, and I'll be there later."

"Okay, that guy is waiting for Marquis Wei."

After getting the promise, the young man happily followed the soldiers away.

Wei Zhao summoned another confidant to ask, "How is the situation with King Jing?"

The confidant said: "After getting up and washing, King Jing practiced Taijiquan for a while, then sat in the courtyard drinking tea, and left the post in a hurry until half an hour ago. Accompanying him were the Taoist priests who lived in the small courtyard. .”

"Half an hour ago?"

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows.

He released the news early in the morning, why did King Jing wait until half an hour ago before taking any action?And left in a hurry, obviously got some more important news.Just hope it doesn't affect his plan for today.

……

The stone prison Wei Zhao chose was the same stone prison where Li Tianshi imprisoned the listening boy.

First, Wei Zhao wanted to confirm whether Chunyu Gui knew what Li Tianshi did back then.Secondly, this stone prison is secretive, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are still some exquisite mechanisms designed by Li Tianshi in the dark passages, which are very suitable for catching turtles in an urn.

However, Mu Yun is very resistant to this ghost place.

"This stone prison is surrounded by stones. It's really boring. Can Gu go to other stone prisons?"

The young man raised his eyes, and asked the soldiers timidly.

The soldier also said distressedly: "I dare not make decisions about this matter, I have to ask Lord Hou. According to my brothers, this cell seems to have imprisoned a killer who listened to the truth a long time ago. Probably because of this The reason is that Master Hou chose this place."

"Listen to the killer?"

"Yes, I heard that he was also a very young boy. Maybe he is the same person who killed General Pei's family."

Mu Yun's face inevitably turned pale.

The soldier hurriedly said: "It's all my fault for talking too much and frightening Your Highness. I'm going to light up the lamp now. With the lamp, it won't be so dark."

The lamp lit by the soldiers was also an old old oil lamp that had been hung in the stone prison.

Standing at the door of the stone prison, Mu Yun glanced over the bloody instruments of torture on the wall and the dark red blood stains on the ground one by one. When he was young, he remembered that the mountains and tsunami hit him like a tsunami, and he was almost overwhelmed.

Those bloodstains, layered upon layer, had penetrated deep into the bluestone texture over the years, and could never be erased, just like those ugly marks branded in his life.

Mu Yun's eyes wandered around, from the moss at the base of the wall to the straw in the corner, from the overturned candlestick to the broken porcelain scattered all over the floor, and finally landed on the huge iron lock clamped inside the stone wall.

"That's a high-quality lock. I heard it was made by Lu Ban's descendants. It's called a thousand-machine lock. It's specially used to lock up thieves. It's been lost in the world long ago. It's better than the anti-theft lock made by the Sizao Bureau. use."

Seeing the young man staring at the shackles on the north wall, the soldiers thought His Royal Highness was curious, and immediately warmly introduced him to the side.After finishing speaking, he found that the young man was still staring at the lock, and did not respond to his words.

The smell of blood and damp decay stimulated the nasal cavity at the same time, and Mu Yun suddenly felt a severe chest tightness, turned around and ran out, and vomited while leaning on a wall that separated the passage.

The soldiers were taken aback, what kind of ghostly place is this, anyone who enters will feel dizzy and vomit, if His Royal Highness falls ill again, who will cooperate with Lord Hou's plan.

The soldiers hurried over with a bowl of cold water, and worriedly said, "Is your Highness alright? Do you want your subordinate to call an imperial physician?"

"No need."

Panting for breath, the young man stood up against the wall. After a while, he took the water from the soldier, rinsed his mouth, and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I can't adapt to the bloody smell in the prison for a while."

"Don't tell Marquis Wei about this, otherwise, he will definitely feel that being lonely and coquettish is useless, and he won't even be able to bear this little pain."

"Yes."

The soldier was even more angry.His Royal Highness, who is so kind and considerate, would rather stay in that dirty stone prison even if he is unwell, and cooperate with Lord Hou to complete the plan, yet there are still people who have the heart to fabricate those vicious rumors to slander him, it is really inhuman up.

Back in the stone prison, Mu Yun didn't look around anymore, and tried his best to ignore the disgusting bloody smell. He just sat down in a clean corner without blood stains, and obediently waited for Wei Zhao to come over.

It was not until two hours later that Wei Zhao arrived late, holding a plate of green pastries in his hand.

"This is the mugwort leaf green ball made by the cook in Guanzhong. There is red bean paste in it. Your Highness will eat some to pad your stomach first."

Wei Zhao put the plate on the ground, and was about to go outside to watch, when someone grabbed the hem of his clothes, turned around, and met a pair of big watery eyes.

"Can Marquis Wei stay in there with Gu Gu for a little while? Just for a little while. The prison is full of blood, it's gloomy, Gu is really scared. Once Gu is scared, he can't eat, can't eat, You will be hungry. If you are hungry and your body is not strong enough, it is very likely that Weihou will be hindered."

But with a cake, this little brat can babble so much nonsense.

Wei Zhao was amused for no reason, so he sat down casually beside him, and said, "Your Majesty can't stay inside for long, or it will attract suspicion. Your Highness, eat quickly."

"it is good!"

The young man's eyes suddenly glowed, he grabbed a green ball with one hand, and ate it hungrily.

In fact, he wasn't very hungry, and even the discomfort in his stomach hadn't disappeared due to the stimulation of the smell of blood, but he was willing to make this little sacrifice when he finally had a chance to cling to Master Cheap for a while.

After all, after tonight, everything will be different. I'm afraid he and Master Cheap will never have the chance to live together in the same room as they are now, and Master Cheap will never smile at him again, and even bring him pastries to eat.Maybe he will die, maybe he will go crazy, maybe he will show the ugliest and most unbearable side.

Mu Yun sighed in his heart, cheap master still owed him a bowl of red bean smoothie, rounded up, he also had red bean smoothie.

Wei Zhao noticed that the boy was suddenly not in a good mood, so he asked, "But are you thirsty?"

The boy looked at him reluctantly for a moment, then nodded obediently.

Wei Zhao thought to himself, could it be because the pastry was almost finished and he knew he was going to go out, so the boy suddenly showed this look, which is too clingy.

The soldiers quickly came in with two bowls of water, and the young man drank a couple of sips slowly, and suddenly said: "I remember, my previous father said that in order to prevent the secret from being leaked after the mission failed, the killers who listened to each other had hidden blood in their teeth. Poison. Even if unfortunately arrested, Di Ting's killers have received extremely harsh training since childhood, and any torture is useless in front of them. It is almost impossible to extract secrets from them. Evidence, it is better to start with the elixir that controls Di Ting."

"Pill?"

Wei Zhao remembered the elixir containing Manjusri that he found in the post house that day.

The young man nodded: "The killers of Di Ting have been locked up in the palace for secret training since they were children. In order to make them completely abandon their emotions and desires and turn them into emotionless killing machines, the person in charge of the training will regularly feed them a kind of food that can confuse the mind. Gradually, those killers will forget who they are, where they come from, and their parents and relatives. They are accompanied by endless killings and endless cruel training. Therefore, even the companions who get along day and night , with just one order, they will stab their swords into the hearts of their companions without even blinking their eyes."

"But those elixirs also have strong side effects. Long-term use will disturb the blood and cause the meridians to go berserk. Therefore, they must take another elixir that can balance qi and blood at the same time to maintain their lives."

"If King Jing controls those Di Ting killers, then he will definitely have that kind of elixir in his hand, as well as someone who refines it for him. In the past, that kind of elixir was made by a man named Li Tianshi. "

Although he had heard about the matter of listening to the truth, but it was the first time he heard the young man in front of him narrating, Wei Zhao still couldn't help being startled.He has always hated the practice of feeding the dead. No matter how high the status is, one should not deprive others of their lives for one's own selfish desires. If it is someone with other ambitions, that's all. As the king of a country, Emperor Wu actually did such a thing openly Things that violate the laws of nature and human relations are simply insane and incurable.

In the past, Wei Zhao was worried that the little prince, the Emperor Wu's blood, would be involved with Di Ting, but now it seems that he was more worried.He didn't hesitate to risk himself today, and told himself these secrets again, presumably it was to clear up the suspicion.

As Wei Zhao's thoughts raced, the expression of the young man beside him suddenly changed: "They are here!"

Wei Zhao listened carefully, and sure enough there was a strange sound coming from the direction of the secret passage.He took a deep look at a certain cub, then pulled out the sword at his waist, and ordered the left and right: "Close the cell door, and protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Wei Zhao disappeared into the depths of the dark passage in an instant, and all the guards drew out their weapons, fully on alert, and was about to close the prison door and activate the mechanism according to the order, when suddenly he saw a white shadow flickering, like a feather floating past his eyes.

The sound of gears turning sounded in the enclosed space, and the cell door slammed shut.

One person said in surprise: "Just now that was..."

Another person said: "Maybe, maybe it's really a feather."

If it is an individual, Qinggong is too scary, impossible!

Among them, no one can do it, even Hou Ye can't do it, so it can only be real feathers.
