Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 224 Exposure
Walking through the long corridor, he didn't seem to hear the strange noises of the prisoners in the cells on both sides, and he just kept looking at the cell at the end.

Finally, with this footstep, he turned his head, looked at Zheng Xuan who was lying on the bed made of straw, and called out in a low voice: "My son..."

Zheng Xuan, who was still casual, suddenly sat up.

Looking at the face hidden in the shadows steadily, a look of ecstasy appeared.

"But Your Highness asked you to save me?"

When he asked a word, he felt dejected first.

When he asked this sentence, even he himself knew that this time he really couldn't get away with it.

But fortunately, even if he couldn't get rid of the crime and someone came to save him, he wouldn't die in this prison.

Jumping to the door, he said in a deep voice, "Quick, let me out!"

Nodding his head, the man posing as a jailer took out the key from his pocket and opened the cell door.

Zheng Xuan was overjoyed, and was about to get out, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"You have a sword with you?"

"Come to save the young master, how can you come empty-handed?" The man replied in a low voice, with a pair of gloomy eyes and a lifeless look, even his voice was so cold that he didn't seem like a living person.

Staring at him, Zheng Xuan showed suspicion, "Spirit Snake, are you really here to save me?"

"Naturally, the villain is ordered by the prince to save the prince."

"Since you are here to save me, you throw the sword over here."

"My lord, you are still wearing an iron chain, how do you hold a sword?"

Asking softly, Spirit Snake pulled out the sword on his waist and threw it at Zheng Xuan.

Just as Zheng Xuan looked up at the sword and reached out to grab it, the spirit snake suddenly moved.

With a movement of his figure, his fist hit Zheng Xuan's chest heavily. When Zheng Xuan staggered back, he flew up, grabbed the sword in his hand, and stabbed Zheng Xuan straight.

Zheng Xuan was also quick-witted. After being hit, he immediately rolled on the spot, dodged a sword, and screamed loudly: "Help! Help! There are assassins—"

Spirit Snake frowned, rubbed his body, and thought that even if the jailer arrived, he would have a chance to kill Zheng Xuan first, but he didn't want him to stab Zheng Xuan before he heard a loud shout: "How dare you break into the prison! Hurry up and tie your hands!"

Spirit Snake was taken aback, thinking to himself why did the jailer come so fast today?
After thinking about it, he immediately figured out that it wasn't that the jailer came quickly, but that these people had already set up an ambush, waiting here for him to be caught.

Panicked, he didn't care about chasing Zheng Xuan any more, he stepped out of the cell, swung his sword and stabbed, trying to kill a bloody path and escape from the prison.

Most of the prison guards in the sky prison are mediocre. Although they have ambushed for a long time, Spirit Snake doesn't take it seriously.

But I didn't expect that when the sword stabbed out, the opponent raised his knife to block him, blocking his attack.

Not only was it blocked, but he was even able to counterattack immediately, sweeping across, almost slashing his stomach.

Shocked, the spirit snake backed away, and before it could calm down, three more people had already besieged it.

Although he was flustered, the long sword in his hand stabbed out quickly.

Looking away, Spirit Snake suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

"So it's you!" Raising his eyebrows, Spirit Snake didn't dare to continue the fight, made an opening, swayed past his opponent, and fled away.

"Chasing, you can't let him leave the prison alive."

Feng Pingcheng gave a loud shout and chased him out first.

Zheng Xuan was still in shock, panting heavily while leaning on the railing, and listened to the sound of beating and killing outside.

An old man diagonally across from him smiled hoarsely, and said in a hoarse voice: "Boy, this is here to kill people! What do you know? You are so tabooed?"

"Nonsense!" He scolded, but Zheng Xuan didn't think so in his heart.

The old man was not angry, but just smiled and said: "Anyone who enters this big prison will never get out alive. Either they will be given death, or they will be murdered and silenced. If they don't die, they will have to slow down in this prison." Suffer slowly, survive this life..."

Couldn't help swallowing, Zheng Xuan looked at the old man and said shyly, "I'm different from you, I'm not the same thing as you."

"It's not the same thing? That said, the old man has seen a lot, but what? I died earlier than the old man..."

Falling to the ground slumped, Zheng Xuan held on to the railing, and didn't bother to listen to the sound of beatings and killings outside. In a trance, the sound gradually became weaker, and finally returned to silence.

Someone slowly walked up to him, squatted down, and happened to be face to face with Zheng Xuan.

Eyes widened, Zheng Xuan said bitterly: "I knew it was you! This time it was all designed by you!"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but blinked, looking at the blood stains on Su Jingchun's jailer's uniform, he couldn't help but ask, "Is the spirit snake dead?"

"What do you think? If someone escapes from the prison, what is the majesty of the emperor?"

Su Jingchun said lightly, then smiled again: "My son, do you hate me? No, you shouldn't hate me. What you should hate most in this world is not others, but yourself. The so-called evil done by the sky, you can live, you can live on your own." Do evil, you can't live. This is the evil you did yourself, you should bear it yourself. In fact, in Songjiang Mansion, you deserve to die!"

"What did you say?" Staring at Su Jingchun vigilantly, Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Is it that woman? That Gu Hua'er, who is she from the Gu family? No, I have investigated everything, she It has nothing to do with the Gu family."

Licking his lips, Zheng Xuan was a little nervous, "But it doesn't matter, but she knows the skills of the Gu family, and she can learn the secret skills of the Gu family just by being taught by an old man. It seems a bit—you lied to me!"

Zheng Xuan sneered, and snorted: "Even if you know about the Songjiang Mansion?! If I don't recruit for a day, you won't be able to judge me for a day."

"The matter of the Songjiang Mansion is a trivial matter." Su Jingchun smiled lightly and said, "If you want to recruit, you should recruit someone else! Zheng Xuan, you just saw that although you didn't recruit, someone has already decided that you want to recruit. And I don't intend to give you a chance to say it!"

With a gloomy face, Zheng Xuan remained silent, refusing to speak.

Su Jingchun said lightly: "I advise you, if you think about yourself, you'd better recruit honestly. As long as you recruit, I will naturally protect you."

"Haha..." Zheng Xuan laughed loudly, "Su Jingchun, you are showing your fox tail, you have spent a lot of effort to get me to confess! You think I will confess the prince so that Prince Rui can easily ascend to the throne Don't even think about it, although you were real in the play just now, I'm not so easy to be deceived."

"Play? Isn't the spirit snake the prince's bodyguard for you?"

"So what? Who knows if you bought him."

Zheng Xuan snorted coldly, "Stop wasting your time, I won't do what you want."

"Really?" Su Jingchun smiled and stood up, "It's up to you! Whether you want to die or live, what does it have to do with me?"

After speaking, he turned around and left. Zheng Xuan stared at Su Jingchun's back with a gloomy expression.

"Mr. Su, what should he do if he doesn't recruit? But just wait for his confession..." Without saying the second part, Feng Pingcheng rubbed his hands, obviously in a hurry.

"So what if he recruited? Do you think it's just Zheng Xuan's confession that can bring down the prince?!" Su Jingchun smiled, and said lightly: "Head, if this is the case, the prince is no longer the prince."

"Then—" Feng Pingcheng hesitated, "You didn't do this because you want Zheng Xuan to confess? You want to..."

Su Jingchun smiled and waved, motioning for Feng Pingcheng to come forward.

Listening to Su Jingchun's whisper, Feng Pingcheng's face became more and more ugly, "How can this be done? If there is a big trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it."

"Isn't it just going to get out of hand?" Su Jingchun smiled lightly, and said in a flat voice, "At that time, the head may have made great achievements, and the title of Marquis and Marquis is just around the corner."

Hearing what Su Jingchun said, Feng Pingcheng's heart was immediately moved.

"Really? Mr. Su, is there nothing else?"

"What's the matter? Didn't you see the soldiers who came back from Daxiying?"

"General Li is..."

He didn't dare to say it, but Feng Pingcheng was really relieved.

He said happily: "Young master, don't worry, I will act carefully, and I will definitely not let that boy Zheng Xuan see the flaws."

Su Jingchun nodded, but did not speak.

It seemed that he had a plan in mind, but in fact Su Jingchun was still very nervous.

Although he made a plan, he was not sure whether this plan would be successful or not.

He is not Wu Muhou, so it is impossible to count all the omissions. If the prince is not as he guessed, he really does not know how to sing this play.

In front of Feng Pingcheng, Su Jingchun was still very calm, but when he got home and saw Gu Sixiao who hadn't slept waiting for him, he didn't hide his worry.

"If something goes wrong, maybe we really have to be a couple with the same fate."

"I'm not afraid of being a mandarin duck with the same fate as you." Gu Sixiao smiled, rubbed her face against his chest, and said softly, "If it really doesn't work out, tell someone to hurry back to Jinan. It doesn't matter if we die here , don’t drag the family down.”

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. I have sent a letter back to make the family ready. If something happens, someone will send my father and the Xue family to the sea. It will be done in a few days." Flee to Goryeo."

"The people of Korea are willing to take them in?"

"Of course I don't want to," Su Jingchun smiled, and said lightly, "We are all friends of interests, how can we rely on our wealth? First go to Korea, and then transfer to other places, as long as they are far enough away, and they have enough money with them, how can they not?" What about life?"

Nodding his head, Gu Sixiao felt relieved.

No longer asking about Su Jingchun's plan, she just hugged this man tightly, no matter what happened in the future, would she be able to be with him in the end.

Su Jingchun made arrangements early in the morning, but no amount of plans can compare to changes.

An event he hadn't thought of before shattered his plans.

Hearing that Lin Mo Niang was going to visit the prison, Su Jingchun was a little surprised.

When Feng Pingcheng hesitantly said that the Marquis of Jianchang had given him 1 taels of silver just to keep his wife, he couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, if you don't make money, you won't make it for nothing, head seal, just play it by ear when the time comes."

Feng Pingcheng felt relieved, and indeed arranged for Lin Mo Niang to visit the prison. For this, he also deliberately lifted Zheng Xuan from the underground cell to the top.
