Chapter 39 Daddy Breaks His Promise

……

The big prison in central Sichuan is cold and humid, and some mice can often be seen.

Zheng Song was in shackles, lying in the middle of the cell, his eyes closed and motionless, if it wasn't for the heaving and falling of his chest from time to time, others would have thought he was dead.

In fact, for Zheng Song, there is no difference between him and death, but sooner or later.

This is the Great Prison in Central Shu!
Even though the political atmosphere in Central Shu is more lenient, no one has been able to get out of this prison alive.

It can be said that in this prison, no one is innocent, and no one can live.

"Clap clap clap..."

Footsteps sounded outside, and the sound was getting closer. Zheng Song's ears moved, but he didn't raise his head.

"Whoa-"

The chain made a piercing sound, and at the same time, the jailer's sharp voice sounded: "Get up!! Someone saw you coming!"

Look at me?

Will someone from Jinguan City come to see me?
Hearing this, Zheng Song raised his head and looked outside the prison, only to see a man in brocade robe standing behind the jailer.

This person is too familiar to Zheng Song, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be lying here!
"Young master, let's talk."

The jailer looked at the man, immediately changed his expression, and said flatteringly: "Don't worry, the cells around here have been emptied long ago."

"Go down."

The brocade robed man nodded and said something to the jailer, who left here nodding and bowing.

Zheng Song sat up slowly, looked at the man in front of him, and sneered: "You look better in this outfit."

"Thank you for the compliment."

The man nodded slightly to Zheng Song, and then said, "I think so too."

"..."

With a restrained smile, Zheng Song looked at the man and said, "Then you came here just to see me? Third Young Master?"

The person in front of him is Jiang Xubai who has returned to Shu.

"Well, and drink."

Jiang Xubai stretched out his hand, and the attendant handed him a jug of wine and two bowls.

"drink wine?"

Looking at Jiang Xubai with squinted eyes, in Zheng Song's eyes, the person in front of him is completely a fox, he has no profit, so why did he suddenly come to drink with him in the prison?

I am a dead person, what else can I do?

Filling the two bowls with wine, Jiang Xubai sat on the floor and put one bowl into the prison.

Zheng Song patted his clothes, walked to the railing and sat down, instead of drinking the bowl of wine, he looked at Jiang Xubai.

"Afraid that I will be poisoned?"

Seeing Zheng Song like this, Jiang Xubai smiled and said, "It seems that there is no need for this?"

Zheng Song couldn't escape death no matter what, Jiang Xubai poisoned him again, it would be superfluous, and he would get himself dirty instead.

With that said, Jiang Xubai picked up the bowl inside and finished the wine inside.

Zheng Song looked at Jiang Xubai, but still didn't say a word.

"That black dog you raised is getting fatter."

Hearing a meaningless sentence suddenly, Zheng Song was stunned for a moment, then his eyes slowly widened.

Seeing Zheng Song's appearance, Jiang Xubai said again: "I went to Tongren, and that dog almost bit me."

There is no rabies breeding in this world, it will be a big loss if you are bitten...

"you……"

Zheng Song grabbed the cell door and stared at Jiang Xubai: "You went to Miaojiang?"

"Ah."

Jiang Xubai nodded.

"I met a girl..."

Hearing Jiang Xubai's words, Zheng Song was taken aback, and Jiang Xubai continued talking.

"She lives with her mother, and her only source of income is to go to the mountains to collect herbs. Although her life is poor, she has a very powerful father."

"Take me on a tour of Tongren, and she talks about her father all the way."

"Her father has a strong arm, can hold a strong bow, is good at riding, and can tame fierce horses..."

"Her father is very gentle. Even now, the girl is reluctant to let go of the paper kite he gave her. She can only take it out when she misses her father..."

"But her father is often not at home, and the girl can only live with her seriously ill mother..."

Zheng Song's face became paler and paler, following Jiang Xubai's words, an unknown emotion climbed into Zheng Song's heart.

Could it be that this girl, this girl...

"This girl's name is Zheng He. I wonder if you recognize her?"

In the last sentence, Jiang Xubai looked up at Zheng Song, as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart.

Zheng He... Xiao Qinghe...

How could you not know...

This is his daughter...

Zheng Song's lips began to tremble, and with his back to Jiang Xubai, his voice was low: "I'm sorry for them..."

Some things are irreparable. In front of his family and great cause, he chose the latter, and he is destined to be ashamed of the former.

Now they leave by themselves, what are they going to do?
Zheng Song turned around and bowed to Jiang Xubai. This was the second time Zheng Song saluted Jiang Xubai, and the first time was when he entered Yangxu City...

"My lord, please take good care of them. I can rest in peace even if I am under the Nine Springs..."

"The people of Miaojiang, no matter how close they are, the Kingdom of Shu will take care of them, so don't worry about it."

"I'm here this time just to drink with you."

With that said, Jiang Xubai filled a bowl of wine for Zheng Song, handed it to Zheng Song, and said, "Please go on your way with peace of mind..."

With trembling hands, Zheng Song took the bowl of wine and drank it down...

……

"Miaojiang rebels Zheng Song, Xu Chi and eight others openly rebelled, colluded with foreign businessmen, and caused national distress. According to the laws of Dashu, they were killed in half..."

Kneeling on the ground, Zheng Song lowered his head, his eyes revealed a trace of bewilderment. When death came, he did not feel fear, and a sense of nothingness invaded his whole body.

Miao Jiang has lived his life freely, is this my fate?

Under the stage, many people pointed and pointed not far away, some scolded, some were happy, and there were some flustered people.

The executioner pushed Zheng Song down, lying on a platform, with a big knife showing its sharpness, making people tremble uncontrollably.

The other seven people around were begging for mercy, and some were still cursing Zheng Song, saying that it was because of his bewitching that they rebelled...

Regarding this, Zheng Song didn't say a word, and kept looking in the direction of Miao Jiang, his immature voice echoed in his ears...

"Daddy."

"Ok?"

"Why are you fighting?"

"For everyone to live better."

"But people will die in war, don't die, okay?"

"Well, Daddy will be fine."

"Daddy."

"Ok?"

"Remember to come back..."

"Well, Daddy will definitely come back."

"If you miss Daddy, just take a look at the paper kite. If there is a wind blowing it, then I will come to see you..."

Qing He... Daddy broke his promise...

……

In Tongren Town, thousands of miles away, Zheng He caressed the paper kite in the courtyard...

Suddenly, a breeze came, blowing the paper kite.

The breeze was like a hand touching her cheek, soft and warm, this feeling was very familiar.

For some reason, Zheng He felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something forever...

Tears rolled down the girl's cheeks, she didn't know why she was crying, she wiped her cheeks over and over again, tears flowed down over and over again...
