第162章 第21幕 罗网难逃 五

In the dark night, in the corner of the cell, Ning Yue hugged her knees tightly and curled up alone.At the corner, one can vaguely see the light of the oil lamp, and the swaying shadows of the jailers who are busy changing shifts.However, no one has come to interrogate her since she was thrown into prison, and even she is not sure if anyone still remembers the red-haired witch who was imprisoned here.

At this time, the bucket of blood that caused Ning Yue to lose her human form had slowly solidified on her body, forming a layer of brittle scab on her clothes, and she also regained her lovely and pitiful girlish appearance.The iron shackles on his hands and feet became heavier, leaving a dark red bruise on his wrist and ankle.

The atmosphere in the prison was oppressive, and it was so cold that it made people shiver after nightfall.This made Ning Yue's mind become clearer.She gradually realized that the scene that happened in the Wannian Palace during the day must have been Gao Li secretly tampering with the bucket of blood.Although it is still impossible to guess how the other party plans to deal with him right now, since he saved his life, there must be something in him that the other party hopes to use.Thinking of this, she made preparations in her heart to deal with it, and suddenly summoned up some courage again.

Exhausted, Ning Yue gradually lowered her head, leaning against the cold stone wall and falling asleep.Days of ups and downs made her unable to sleep peacefully for a whole day, and it was really hard for her to sustain it.But in the half-dream and half-awake, two jailers suddenly appeared outside the cell door, with high-pitched voices and hunched backs, as excited as a fox seeing a rabbit:

"I heard that a red-haired demon girl was imprisoned in the prison. Is it you? Quickly raise your head and let the young men take a closer look. What does it look like?"

The red-haired girl's heart tightened suddenly: "You——what do you want?"

"You really are a pretty girl. Look at the blood stains all over your body, you are really blind to your good skin. It is already late at night, and the young man took the initiative to fetch some hot water to wash you. Don't be afraid , don't be afraid, I'm coming in."

The leading jailer opened the cell door and broke in without authorization.

Although the other party did carry a wooden barrel in his hand, and the water in the barrel was bubbling with steam, Ning Yue immediately became nervous.Because no matter the expression or tone of the other party, they are full of obvious malice.Sure enough, the two of them had just put down the wooden barrel by their feet, but they didn't intend to leave at all, instead they rushed towards her.The leader even stretched out his hand to unbutton her collar:
"Come on, why don't you take off your clothes quickly and let the young man scrub you clean with water?"

"Don't even touch me!"

The girl struggled immediately, and the handcuffs and fetters clanged loudly.However, the shackles were fixed to the cell wall by iron chains, and she had nowhere to hide in the square space surrounded by three stone walls and an iron fence.

"Don't bother. Now that you've lost your powers, do you think you can escape?"

The jailer grabbed Ning Yue's hair, pushed her down to the ground, and tore off her long skirt with a "chi la", revealing her slender legs.

The red-haired girl struggled desperately, and pressed her knee hard against the face of the opponent who came closer.The jailer was furious, pulled out the dagger from his waist with a "clank", and cursed viciously:
"Damn it, little girl is quite strong! To tell you the truth, none of the female prisoners who come here are obedient and let themselves be manipulated. If you can take care of me comfortably tonight, the days to come will be much easier. Otherwise, I will go to Mr. Gao to wiggle my tongue and tell you that your life in the future will be worse than death!"

As the other party spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face again, and he put the knife on Ning Yue's neck again.Then, he stuck out his tongue and licked the girl's face, and poked his other hand under the torn skirt.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears, but she held back her tears and didn't even say a word of prayer.She kept telling herself in her heart that she must never accept her fate like this, and she silently recited the underworld curse that Granny Cen had taught her, hoping that the power in her body could break through the seal and activate again!
I never thought about it, I just read the formula once.From the mouth of the prison guard who was pressing on the girl and wanted to do something wrong, he really let out a miserable scream.He jumped up abruptly, but kept scratching his chest with his hands, still yelling indistinctly.

In the blink of an eye, the opponent's body seemed to be ignited from the inside, showing a translucent orange red, and then a burst of flames gushed out from his seven orifices, enveloping his entire body in the heart of flames. .

In an instant, a large living person seemed like a hemp wick soaked in lamp oil, and turned into a scorched black and shriveled human body, and then fell to the ground with a bang, shattered into a pile of powder.

"My Minghuo Curse—is it really used?!"

The girl immediately got up from the ground, grabbed the torn clothes scattered on both sides to block in front of her, and raised her right hand to another jailer.However, before she could recite the mantra again, a deep voice suddenly sounded from outside the cell:

"You guys are so courageous. It's nothing more than concubines and maids who lose power in ordinary times, but you even dare to touch the prisoners I personally sent!"

The other prison guard who escaped with his life heard the person yelling at him, immediately swayed his heels, fell to his knees with a plop, and knocked his head like pounding garlic.And standing outside the prison door is Gao Li in plain clothes!
"Big, my lord, calm down! The little one doesn't dare anymore, dare not!"

The jailer's tongue had already been tied in his mouth, and he knelt down on the ground falteringly, sticking his ass up high.

Gao Li walked up to him, and asked without emotion: "The official asked you about my visit tonight—"

"Small ones, small ones must be tight-lipped!"

"But I am worried that you can do it!"

Before the words were finished, Gao Li suddenly turned his eyes horizontally, and slapped the opponent's Tianling Gai directly with his palm.Immediately, the jailer couldn't speak a word, but his limbs trembled violently, like a marionette.Soon the skin and flesh all over his body began to fester, turning into a puddle of foul-smelling pus on the spot!

"It's a disgusting thing, but it can't be killed no matter how hard it is!"

Gao Li took out a clean small handkerchief from his bosom, wiped off the bloody blood on his hands, and threw it at his feet in a ball.Then he only raised his eyes for a moment, and the iron shackles on Ning Yue's hands and feet were broken.

"It was just now——the Blood Snake Curse in the high-level curse! Who are you, and why do you know how to use my family's secret technique? Besides, if you kill people in prison, aren't you afraid that someone will investigate them?!"

The girl hadn't recovered from the blood in her eyes, and retched for a long time before she could speak.It's just that her questioning sounded like a joke to the ear of the person opposite:
"What am I afraid of? Now you are the witch imprisoned in this prison. The two lives just now can be counted on your head. But after all, she is the daughter of the high priest, and she can recognize what I am using at a glance. spell."

The other party's words became unscrupulous, but the face of the red-haired girl changed greatly:

"Are you from Cangliu City?!"

"Do you think I'm going to do my best for Feng Weishu?"

To the girl's question, Gao Li didn't comment, instead he took out something behind himself.It was a milky white waist pendant made of whale teeth, thick at the top and narrow at the bottom.The pendant is surrounded by a circle of fine lines like fish scales, and there is a hollow indentation with complicated shapes on the front and back, with a pure black crystal like ink embedded in it.The combination of gravure printing and black crystal is exactly the word "deacon" written in Cangyu language!
The girl would never have imagined in her dreams that the chief executive in front of him, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, is the head of the three elders under Kunjie, the deacon elder!
"That's why you were able to break the illusion spell on me with a bucket of blood on the main hall during the day, so I was escorted all the way from Suoyangguan to this place, and I couldn't use my breath to escape! You want to completely kill me! Trapped to death in this Yu capital, and then notify Kunjie to come to collect people?!"

Ning Yue suddenly raised her head, the anger in her eyes gushed out.However, Gao Li's answer was completely beyond her expectations: "I haven't known about your coming to Yujing yet."

"Don't you plan to use me to claim credit for your master?!"

"Credit? Any reward he Kunjie promised me with empty words, could it be rarer and more valuable than the treasures in this Yongyang Palace? But, right now, after all, he has sent out messages to find people—"

"I would rather die than return to that demon's side!" Hearing what the other party said, the girl immediately put on a generous expression on her face.

"But killing you like this—what good will it do me?"

"What exactly do you want?!"

"Actually, I want to give you a chance to choose, please come with me and settle down in this Yongyang Palace." Gao Li's tone was suddenly no longer as cold as before.

"and then?"

The anger on Ning Yue's face was gradually replaced by surprise.The other party paused for a moment, and refused to say any more: "You don't need to worry about the future."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't agree?"

"You should have seen it in the Wannian Palace today. Now everyone in Yujing City knows that there is a red-haired witch who scared the emperor into a faint in the palace. Even if I don't hand you over to the first seat, you still think you can live What is the chance of going out of the city without being tied up and burned to death in public?"

"I said, I'm not afraid of death!"

"I know you're not afraid. But aren't you afraid that before you die, what kind of evil things will be done to your body by the land people outside? Not to mention your two friends from the land— When your identity is made public in the future, will they still accept the real you? Do they still miss you and worry about you?"

Gao Li smiled slyly, squinting his eyes and looking at the girl in the prison from the corner of his eye.Ning Yue lowered her head and looked at the two corpses that were already out of shape on the ground, she couldn't help shivering, and Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin appeared in front of her eyes again——

It is true that even if they can accept her unusual hair color and the uncontrollable dangerous power in her body, her true identity is a secret that the girl carefully conceals from her companions from beginning to end. She has to say it herself!

After a long time, the red-haired girl made up her mind and agreed to the other party's request.Seeing that he finally nodded, Gao Li laughed, as if everything was in his calculations.Afterwards, two more inner eunuchs came in from the prison door, carrying a female corpse that had come from nowhere and had been burned beyond recognition...

It was not until the sky was dark that Gao Lifang returned to his residence in the palace.After signaling to the left and right to step back, he didn't fall asleep. Instead, he took out a palm-sized round mirror with some broken edges from a small box with a lock.

The mirror was also carved from black roses.Under the man's low voice, a strange blue light gradually appeared on it.After a while, a figure vaguely appeared in the mirror, which became clearer as the light gradually increased, and slowly turned into Kun Jie's face:
"Elder Deacon, why have I contacted you several times recently, but have not responded?"

In the mirror, Kun Jie's eyes were sunken into the eye sockets, looking rather haggard.His brows were even more tightly furrowed, as if extremely annoyed that Gao Li hadn't heard from him in the past few days.

"Prince, there have been many affairs in the palace recently, and there are many people in the palace. It was hard for me to find an opportunity, so I will report to you immediately—"

"Then let's stop talking nonsense. I asked you to investigate the whereabouts of Ning Yue, the daughter of the chief priest. Is there any progress?"

Before the man could explain, the man in the mirror interrupted him roughly.Gao Li's eyes flickered, restrained the displeasure that was almost revealed, and still responded respectfully:

"First seat, recently, my subordinates have sent more people to Yu Yujing to investigate around, but there is no red-haired girl in the Qingying Mountains at all. Could it be—"

"Could it be something? Are you saying that my news is wrong?!"

Kunjie was angered by him and shouted angrily, "Don't think that now that the two elders, the stick and the deacon, are dead, and you are far away in the capital of land people, you can ride on this seat!"

"My subordinates dare not."

"I am sure that the red-haired girl must have passed through the ruins of the ancestors under the Tuori Peak and entered the Changzhou area. The news is true and there is no doubt. If you still haven't seen it, I will continue to send more people to this seat. Find! It is absolutely impossible for a girl to stay hidden in the deep mountains and old forests all the time! At the beginning, I spent countless efforts to train you, and opened up the joints to send you to Yujing. I didn't leave it here for today! "

Kunjie continued to growl loudly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with his subordinates' unfavorable handling of affairs.Gao Li on the side of the mirror just bowed his hands and saluted frequently, submissively claiming yes.However, shortly after the figure in the mirror disappeared, he suddenly overturned all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, and cursed loudly:

"Greedy dog ​​thief! Before, in a fit of rage, he wanted to kill the daughter of the chief priest and forced her to flee to the Qingying Mountains, but now he is afraid that she will fall into the hands of others, bossing me around and urging me repeatedly. If I hadn't used the treasury all these years Help, you and your loyal dogs can live so freely on this land?!"

A confidant outside the door heard that Gao Li was angry, and immediately pushed the door in, and persuaded in a low voice:
"Please calm down, my lord. Right now you are in the light, and Kunjie is in the dark. There has been such a big disturbance in the Wannian Hall today. Although it was a dangerous move to keep the daughter of the chief priest, if the news spreads And go, pass it to the other party's ear—"

"Who will tell him? Is it you, or the big and small officials in this palace? Kunjie never imagined, what is the reason why I have not appointed any officers and firemen on land these years!"

Gao Li laughed arrogantly again.Facing the visitor, he did not shy away from talking about his true identity.It turns out that although he has been lurking in the palace alone for decades, he has secretly cultivated many loyal loyal followers of the land people by means of means.But now, these people are not only loyal to him alone, but have already formed a powerful force that even Kunjie didn't know about, but it is powerful enough to subvert Chao Gang.

"At the beginning, I made up my mind to cut off my penis and enter the palace, not for the sake of being called around today! To me, the life and death of the Cangliu City and the Cangyu clan are nothing to worry about. Now the big The priest's daughter has already fallen into my hands. One day, when that stupid emperor really agrees to give Zen to me, I will immediately marry Ning Yue as the imperial concubine! And she will pass on her power to me, guiding Let me find the divine power of the ancestors. At that time, if I kill Kunjie and the princes, I will be able to sit firmly on the throne and rule the world!"
