The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

After hearing Zheng Xilin's words, Zhao Yao took Song Jicai and the others away from Jinling, but unexpectedly there was an accident on the way to Yangzhou.

At that time, the boat they were on was just about to leave the Jinling River and enter the Yangjiang River on the border of Yangzhou.Unexpectedly, at this time, two large boats not far from their boat collided suddenly, and then the people on board started fighting each other.

Zhao Yao and the others were worried that something would happen, so they deliberately bypassed the river near Runzhou Mansion, and they also chose to set off in broad daylight. Unexpectedly, something happened.

Afraid of being involved in the two boats, when Zhao Yao and the others were about to leave the boat, they did not expect that some people from the two boats ran to their boat, and then started fighting on their boat.

Fortunately, there were Imperial Guards on board, which protected Zhao Yao and the others from being involved in their fight. However, no one expected that the two boats suddenly broke into the water, and the fire was very strong, and it soon spread to Zhao Yao and the others. on board.

Zhao Yao and the others had no time to escape by boat, so they could only jump into the river.Before jumping into the river, Zhao Yao was still thankful that he could swim, otherwise he would jump out of the fire and drown in the river again.

He finally swam to the shore with great effort. As soon as he swam to the shore, he planned to sit down for a while and rest, but he was knocked unconscious from behind, and then he lost consciousness.When he woke up, he found that he was locked up somewhere.His hands and feet were tied with ropes, his eyes were blindfolded, and his mouth and nose were blocked, making him unable to move at all.

Zhao Yao sniffed it vigorously, and smelled a musty and rotten smell.He guessed that he was locked in a shabby room.

He originally thought that he was the only one being locked up, but he didn't expect that there were other people, and there were more than one.Judging from the sound of breathing not far away, it seemed that more than a dozen people were imprisoned here.

Zhao Yao deliberately made a sound, but he could only make a "woo woo" sound.However, it was not long before others responded.Others were also gagged and speechless.

More than a dozen people were locked together, judging from the sound of breathing, they were all young people, and there were men and women.Who put so many of them in a shabby house, and what are they going to do?
Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Yao's mind, and none of them were good.Thinking of the rampant human trafficking in the Jiangnan area, Zhao Yao felt that this group of people was probably going to be sold, probably to some shady place.

It's not that he's narcissistic. Although he's not as pretty as my starling, he's also pretty.

Being caught suddenly, Zhao Yao didn't feel nervous or flustered at all.He knew that the four guards would find him soon and rescue him.He wasn't worried about his own safety, but he was worried about Fatty and the four of them, and he didn't know if the four of them were alright.Also, the four of them wouldn't be taken away by other people too.

Listening to the birds talking outside the window, Zhao Yao knew it was night, no wonder he was so hungry.This man Yazi gave him some drug, which made him unconscious for most of the day.

He is very hungry now and wants to eat.He hadn't had time to eat lunch before being caught.

When will the four guards come to rescue him?

Zhao Yao originally thought that the four major guards would find him soon, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for the four major guards until the next day.

what happened?

The four guards didn't find him!
With the abilities of the four major guards, it would not be difficult to find him after a day and a night.

The four guards didn't find him. Could it be that he was imprisoned in the deep mountains and old forests?

Or maybe the person who captured them was so capable that the four guards couldn't find him.

If the four major guards can't find him, then only those families in Jinling, or the families in Suzhou Prefecture.

What are the people from the aristocratic family arresting him for, threatening to restrain his father?

This is unlikely.

The crown prince and Dai Wang didn't know how much his father loved him.On the surface, he is an unpopular tenth prince. It is useless for the crown prince and those who acted like the king to arrest him.Besides, catching him as a prince is tantamount to holding a hot potato in your arms.It's not right to say that, he, a prince who has no sense of existence, is not so important.In the eyes of those people, killing him is as simple as crushing an ant, and it will not cause any waves.

From this point of view, the person who arrested him didn't know his identity, but simply thought that he was good-looking, that he could sell for a good price, or that he could please the nobles, and then arrested him.

The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.The four guards probably didn't expect him to be caught by Ren Yazi, and they should be investigating the families in Jinling City and Suzhou Mansion right now.

It seemed that he would not be rescued anytime soon.

Although he will not be rescued for the time being, his life is not in danger for the time being.Then he should obediently wait for the four guards to rescue him.However, he is very hungry now, when can he eat?

He was about to face being betrayed, Zhao Yao was still not panicked at all.He firmly believes that the four guards can come to rescue him.

Being so hungry, Zhao Yao could only think of other things to divert his attention.

Where are they going to be sold, and to whom are they going to be sold?
If he was sold to a nobleman in Jinling City or Suzhou Prefecture as he expected, then should he take this opportunity to inquire about the situation and find out some things.

No, this is too dangerous, let’s forget it.He should just wait to be rescued.However, before being rescued, he had to save himself.If the four major guards came late, wouldn't he lose his reputation?

Zhao Yao's heart was filled with horror when he thought of some terrible things.No, he couldn't sit still and wait for death.He had to protect himself before the four guards found him.When he gets to the next place, he has to inquire about the situation.

Zhao Yao was very hungry and very tired. After thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze.When he woke up again, he found that he was not in the broken house before, but in a different place, in a secret room.

The ropes tied around his body and eyes were undone, and the cloth gag was removed.There is a bed and a table in the secret room.There are teapots and cups on the table.

Zhao Yao just woke up, his mind was groggy, and his reaction was much slower than usual.Only then did he realize that there was someone else in the secret room, and he immediately became vigilant and looked at that person warily.

The man sat at the table and stared at him coldly.

Zhao Yao found that this man was very handsome, but his face was too pale and he looked not in good health.

Also, the way this man looked at him was too cold, which made him feel dangerous intuitively, as if he was being stared at by a snake.

This person is a bit like a starling, whether it's an overly handsome appearance or the way he feels.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

The man ignored Zhao Yao and looked away from Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao had long guessed that this person would not answer his questions, so he did not speak to this person again.He stood up slowly, walked to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea with weak and trembling hands.

He is hungry and thirsty now, so he has to drink water quickly, otherwise he will die of thirst.

There wasn't much water in the teapot, Zhao Yao didn't dare to drink it all, and stopped after drinking two cups.

After drinking two cups of tea, Zhao Yao felt that he was alive from the brink of death.However, the stomach is still very hungry.He rested on the table for a while, then stood up and looked at the secret room he was in now.

A very common secret room has only a small window. The light from the window is projected in, but the secret room is still dim.

The door of the secret room was hidden by the wall, and Zhao Yao guessed that it should be opened by triggering a mechanism from the outside.

The sound insulation effect of this secret room is very good, and no sound outside the door can be heard at all.In this way, he would not know whether the secret room where he was locked was a separate room, or whether there was also a secret room next door.

Zhao Yao carefully checked the secret room and found nothing strange.He knocked on the wall again just now, but found no mechanism that could open the secret room.

He was lying on the bed, staring at the roof of the secret room with a thoughtful expression.

Where is this place?
Why is he locked up here with another person?

Is it because the two of them are good-looking?

If so, they are "top class".Next, they should be entertained with good food and drinks, and then they will be sold to some noble person after they are raised.

According to the procedure, before they are sold, they will be dressed up, and they may be able to escape at that time.

Zhao Yao checked his physical condition, the effect of the drug had passed, and he was not drugged again.It seemed that their captors were certain that they would not escape.

Before fleeing, you have to eat well, otherwise you won't have the strength to escape.

Why haven't you sent any food?

If he doesn't deliver food, this "good guy" will starve to death.

Zhao Yao was lying on the bed and thinking wildly, completely ignoring the other person in the secret room.

The person who is too beautiful has been staring at Zhao Yao, and he can't ignore it no matter how much he wants to ignore it.Zhao Yao turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The immunity is low, which leads to skin problems, rashes and severe itching.

In the end, I still humbly ask for a monthly ticket!
