If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 224: Please enter the urn, the situation of encirclement and suppression
In this way, Cui Xu was brought into the village in a daze. It was not known how long it took before he woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings, and saw a big man with a fleshy face and a beard sitting not far away.

I saw the big man standing on a stool with one foot, and grabbing a shiny chicken leg with his other hand and devouring it.

Looking at himself again, his hands and feet were tightly bound, and his whole body was tied to a thick pillar, looking very embarrassed.

"Have you passed the scholar examination?"

The bearded man took a hard bite of the chicken, spit out a chicken bone, turned his head and stared at Cui Xu fiercely, and asked in an indifferent tone.

Cui Xu's heart tightened, but he forced himself to nod calmly and replied softly: "Young student knows a thing or two..."

However, before he could finish his words, the bearded man interrupted impatiently: "Can you read the account books?"

Facing such a ferocious person, Cui Xu sneered in his heart, but pretended to be scared on his face. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaosheng is quite good at planning."

Hearing this, the bearded man seemed very satisfied. He swallowed the remaining chicken in his hands in two mouthfuls, then tilted his head and motioned to the person next to him to untie Cui Xu.

"What this general does is to make a fool of himself. If you dare to mess up the account books, I will kill you!"

The bearded man stood up and warned him fiercely.

After saying that, he clapped his hands and turned to leave. Cui Xu accompanied him carefully. After watching him leave completely, he began to look around carefully.

The room was not big, but there were shelves all around, making it seem a bit crowded.

There is a desk in the center, placed there alone, as if telling its loneliness.

The four treasures of the study are placed on the desk, seemingly waiting for the arrival of the owner.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise, breaking the silence in the room. Cui Xu raised his head suddenly, and the chaotic thoughts in his eyes disappeared instantly. He stared at the door tightly.

After a while, a man walked in. He was holding a pile of thick account books in his hands, which looked quite heavy.

Walking to the desk, he gently placed the account book on it, then turned to Cui Xu and said, "The general said that these accounts must be settled within two days."

After explaining the task, the man was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Cui Xu quickly shouted: "Excuse me, can you give me some food?"

There was a hint of pleading in his tone and a smile on his face, but the smile looked a little weak and his face was a little pale.

Maybe it's because of hunger, or maybe it's because of other reasons.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, looking at Cui Xu's thin body, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

He didn't say anything more, nodded silently, then turned and left the room.

Not long after, the soldier returned to the house again with a simple piece of food in his hands.

"Eat, you will live here from now on."

After saying this, the soldier turned and left, leaving Cui Xu alone facing the empty room and the food in front of him.

As the sound of the lock cylinder turning came from outside the door, the smile on Cui Xu's face gradually disappeared.

He stood up slowly, walked to the table, and opened the food box.

Although the dishes inside are not rich, there are only a bowl of braised pork and a plate of fried lotus root slices, plus two steamed buns, but for Cui Xu at this moment, it is already a rare delicacy.

He slowly sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and ate bite after bite, but his mind was always thinking about the things that made him worried. This village was much bigger than he thought. The bearded man just now was named Pang Jun. He was the bandit leader that Chu Yi accepted, so he looked like a gangster.

But this man was extremely good at marching and forming formations, and he was also good at leading troops in battles. Therefore, his stronghold back then could not be conquered by the imperial court.

After Cui Xu finished his last bite, he stood up and walked to the desk to draw the route he had just memorized.

Pang Jun's biggest shortcoming is that he is extremely easily agitated, otherwise he would not lose control and kill the original accountant.

Looking at the size of the village, Cui Xu felt that there were far more private soldiers here than he had previously estimated for Chu Yan, which would cause some trouble.

But Chu Yan would never fail to make a plan. How could a smart person like him not make a plan?

Right now, he just needs to do what he has to do well.

In the Tianlao, Chu Yao, who had been imprisoned for nearly a month, did not receive any harsh punishment in the Tianlao. Apart from being a little slovenly, everything else was fine.

"His Royal Highness King Rui."

Suddenly a voice came, and Chu Yao looked up. A jailer came over and put the food box he was carrying on the cell table.

"This subordinate is here to save you."

"You can put on your subordinate's clothes later and slip out of here. The brothers of the Purple Eagle Army miss you very much."

He lowered his voice, but said it sincerely. Chu Yao's eyes showed a bit of emotion, and he walked over and said, "You guys, who asked you to come?"

"If Chu Yan finds out, we will all die!"

Chu Yao was very angry, but the jailer didn't take it seriously and said: "You are the general of our Purple Eagle Army. How can brothers be willing to suffer for you? Your Highness, Prince Rui, my subordinates are willing to die for you."

After that, he stepped forward, opened the food box, and took out the food one by one: "You can use some rice."

Chu Yao nodded, walked over, and as soon as he picked up the bowl, the jailer walked up to him, pierced Chu Yao's heart with a short knife and dagger, and the bowl in his hand was broken to the ground.

He opened his eyes and looked at the jailer, as if he didn't expect him to take action.

The jailer sneered, saying that King Rui was stupid, but now that he saw it, he was right. He was indeed very stupid, trusting people so easily.

After doing all this, he sniffed Chu Yao's breath, then looked left and right, and left here.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Chong came to Tianlao and gave a medicine to Chu Yao who fell to the ground. Then he took off his clothes, took out the chicken heart wrapped in cloth and threw it aside.

"His Royal Highness King Rui."

Cheng Chong called him, and Chu Yao woke up leisurely, looked at the food on the table and laughed at himself: "I'm really afraid that I will die uncleanly."

Chu Yan had long expected that Chu Yi would take action against Chu Yao.

After all, Chu Yao has been in the heavenly prison for so long, but there has been no movement. Chu Yi is also suspicious. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he will definitely take action first.

As long as there is no evidence, there will be no chance of overturning the verdict.

So he made arrangements in advance to prevent Chu Yao from dying.

"His Highness has arranged another place for you."

Cheng Chong nodded lightly and helped Chu Yao stand up. He was now a dead person in Chu Yi's eyes, so there was no need to stay in the prison and pretend.
