A Step Into The Past: I Am Han Xin - C154
After walking through a long series of stone steps, he reached a cell. A heavy copper lock was hung on a thick metal door.
Ji Feng ordered everyone to open the copper lock, and when they did, he bowed and let them in: “Brother Han, please!”
Han Huaichu laughed bitterly, thinking that this Devil Lord was still this courteous. He opened his legs and stepped inside.
The cell was dark and damp. It had been a long time since someone had been in there. There was dust in the air and a musty smell. “Underground rats scuttled back and forth in great numbers. When they saw someone, they squeaked and dived into their holes.
The top of the mountain was made of solid stone, and it was hard to tell how thick it was. Once Han Huaichu entered the cell, he suddenly thought of an idiom — — It was impossible to escape even if one had wings.
Ji Feng followed him in and frowned: “This place is too difficult. Brother Han, do not be anxious, I will send someone to clean up later. ”
Just as he was about to leave, Han Huaichuhu asked: “Did your master, Daoist Master Tian Chi, get harmed by you?” Ji Feng laughed, and did not say a word, as though he had tacitly agreed.
Han Huaichu finally confirmed his thoughts and could not help but feel grief and indignation. He did not expect that this Devil Lord would not even let his master off, he was crazy to the extreme.
He did not know how she had met her demise, but whether the “Heart Fire Barrier” that she had cultivated could protect her primordial spirit like what her master Guigu Xuance had said.
While he was immersed in grief, Ji Feng had already walked out. With a “Clang” sound, the metal door slammed shut, and the bronze door was locked.
The cell was dark, except for a thin line of light shining through the crack in the door. Ji Feng’s footsteps were getting further and further away as he climbed the stone steps.
Han Huaichu leaned on the iron wall and sat down, and his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
“I never thought that Ji Feng would want me, the person from the future, to be his witness to the destruction of the heavens. This idea was too unbelievable!
He was trapped in this dungeon, he didn’t know when he would see the light of day again.
Then what is the beauty Yu Zhiya in her heart doing at this moment? ”
When he thought of Yu Zhiya, Han Huaichu’s heart ached.
“When I came here to gather information, I ended up in a prison. My mission this time was a complete failure.
Senior brother Li Zuoche had made an agreement with him, and was waiting for his news from the place. Would Yu Zhiya, who was as beautiful as an immortal goddess, be waiting by the side of the road for my return? Was the beauty able to bear the weight of the cool night dew?
If he could never get out of this prison, what was he supposed to talk about?
He suddenly thought of when Ji Feng had wanted to make Yu Zhiya his second wife. With the power of the Devil Lord, who could stop him if he wanted to take Yu Zhiya as his concubine?
He hoped that this Devil Lord would not see it, or else the consequences would be dire.
But what would happen if Zhiya couldn’t wait for him? Should he just let it go or come to the city by himself? Ji Feng was just about to see her, so wouldn’t that mean that he had sent her into the hands of the Devil Lord? ”
Han Huaichu had two conflicting thoughts. On one hand, he hoped that Yu Zhiya would not abandon him and leave, and on the other hand, he hoped that she would leave early, so that she wouldn’t become the Devil Lord’s lucky darling.
He let his imagination run wild for a while. Seeing that he did not move, the rat started to crawl out of the ground. It kept scuttling and squeaking from time to time.
Suddenly, he heard a sound outside the prison. The sound of footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs as if there were more than one person. When the footsteps reached the entrance, they stopped.
The sound of locks being unlocked could be heard as a group of palace maids walked in.
They were all at the prime of their life, and all of them had beautiful faces. The palace maids held a blanket and a broom in their hands, all kinds of furniture, claiming that they were here under the orders of the Emperor to arrange a prison for the Young Master Han.
Han Huaichu thought that Ji Feng was really not one to go back on his words, and stood at the side, watching the palace maids busy themselves.
These palace maids were very nimble. They first cleaned the place and cleaned the entire cell. He placed another wooden bed on top of the bed and covered it with a blanket. After sprinkling the rat poison on the ground, the mice all over the ground foamed at the mouth and were unable to move.
Before long, the prison looked completely new. The palace maid lit up the candles, arranged the tables and chairs, and placed a bottle of wine and several dishes on the table. She said, “Your Majesty invites Young Master Han to have a meal.”
Han Huaichu was starving, and without a trace of politeness, he picked up the dishes and wine in his hands. The wine was a good wine and the dishes were all cooked by the famous palace chefs. Han Huaichu took a sip and gulped down the wine, feeling the food was delicious, he immediately started to wolf it down, ignoring the group of young ladies beside him, the palace maids laughed heartily.
Not long later, the dishes and wine were swept away like the wind. The palace maids brought out a basin of water, saying that it was for Young Master Han to bathe in, and left a set of clean clothes for Han Huaichu to bathe in and change into. Then, he asked a question that caused Han Huaichu to be shocked: “It’s a long and long night, does Young Master Han wish for the servants to stay and sleep with the young master?”
Han Huaichu laughed bitterly, “In addition to the good wine and dishes, this Ji Feng still wants to entertain himself with beautiful women. It’s just that these palace maids are not comparable to Yu Zhiya. ” He shook his head and said, “You can go back.”
All the palace maids were rather disappointed. Han Xin was handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary demeanor, making people like him with just one look. If he could choose Han Xin and stay with him for an entire night, it would be a blessing that they could not even dream of. And yet, he had refused!
Thus, all the palace maids withdrew. One of them said, “There is another metal door installed on the stone steps. Young Master has no intention of escaping.” He locked the door and left.
The next day, a person delivered lunch.
Han Huaichu recognized this person, it was the field officer who led people to dig and fill the pond yesterday.
He had already changed into the uniform of a servant, and was looking extremely dejected. He was holding a broom with a food box in one hand and a rag on his arm.
Han Huaichu was very curious, “This man is a field officer, why is he in charge of a large group of people? He then asked, “Why is it you?”
The field officer snorted and said, “It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t snuck into the palace, the General Li would not have been able to scold me and turn me into a prison guard. ”
Han Huaichu said guiltily: “Sorry brother. It’s all my fault that you were implicated. ” The field officer sighed, “This is all fate, I can’t blame you. From today onwards, I will personally deliver food for you. ”
Han Huaichu started to chat with him about family matters. Knowing that his name was Liu Xi, he came from An Yang. They were married and had children, and there was an old mother in the family.
Liu Xi waited for Han Huaichu to finish eating, then quietly cleaned up the table, picked up a broom, and started to clean.
Han Huaichu deliberately asked: “Does Big Brother Liu know that the Zhou Dynasty’s Son is about to ascend the throne today?” Liu Xi said: “That’s right. Right now, the entire city is abuzz with discussions.” Han Huaichu replied with an “Oh” and asked, “What do you all say?” Liu Xi shook his head: “It’s hard to say, but the city is full of curses towards the General Li s anyway.”
Han Huaichu pretended not to understand, “Why is everyone scolding General Li for reviving his Periventricular Chamber?” Liu Xi said: “He has established a descendant of Periventricular Chamber as the Son of Heaven, how can the heirs of the world accept that? It’s a good thing that he didn’t go and fight them, but I heard that he still wants to wipe out all the dukes, and isn’t simply roasting the hundreds of thousands of citizens and soldiers on top of the fire. ”
Han Huaichu nodded his head, “That’s right, with the military strength of a city, how can they establish a Heaven? I wonder how many troops and horses there are in the Handan City? ” Liu Xi replied: “General Li originally had thirty thousand troops, adding the ten thousand that guard the Handan City, it would make a total of forty thousand.” Han Huaichu intentionally exclaimed: “So few! General Li is crazy. ”
Liu Xi said: “I don’t think that General Li is crazy, but the Son of Heaven that he wants to establish is a little strange.” Han Huaichu pretended not to understand, “Why do you say that?” Liu Xi subconsciously looked towards the door, and mysteriously said: “It’s possible that General Li was coerced by that Periventricular Chamber descendant.” Han Huaichu let out an “ah” sound, “The General Li is a courageous army with forty thousand soldiers, but can they still be coerced by others?”
Liu Xi then told Han Huaichu about what he saw in the palace yesterday, and said: “That Ji brat took out a red banner and waved it. General Li then changed his mind and knelt on the ground, calling him master.
After Han Huaichu heard this, he thought in his heart, “So that’s how it is. Ji Feng must have used a demonic technique to force Li Liang to submit, but he did not know what kind of evil being the red banner was. To think that it would be possible. ”
He suddenly laughed out loud. Liu Xi was stunned, “Brother Han, what are you laughing about?” Han Huaichu asked: “Do you know the background of that Ji brat?” Liu Xi frowned: “How would I know.”
Han Huaichu slowly said: “He is not an ordinary person, but a devil, a devil who wants to set off a storm of blood and blood in the human world, a devil who has faced endless calamities.”
Liu Xi said in shock: “That brat is a demon! Do you have any proof? ” Han Huaichu said: “Do you know why he imprisoned me here? that I should watch him destroy the world and be his witness. ”
Therefore, Han Huaichu told Liu Xi what he knew about Ji Feng, and said: “This demon had forced the death of Great Hero Xiang Shaolong, and had also caused the death of his own master, Spiritual Master Tian Chi. Now that I have come to your Zhao State and want to overturn the Heavenly Dao, I want this world to be controlled by the Demonic Way. ”
Liu Xi felt his hair stand on end. He never thought that the son of heaven, who was about to be established in General Li, would actually have such a background.
He had become the emperor himself, and it was still a small matter for the dukes to muster up troops to suppress him. If this Devil Lord were to succeed and destroy the heavens, where would the world be reduced to?
He then felt that Han Huaichu’s words were too ridiculous and doubted his words: “Could it be that this brother is deliberately making up such a lie to achieve some sort of goal?” Han Huaichu sneered: “If you don’t believe me, then it’s still up to you.”
Liu Xi said: “Anyway, I won’t let you go. Actually, I only wanted to let you go because I wanted to. ” Han Huaichu was puzzled: “Why?” Liu Xi said: “There is a metal door on the stone steps. When I came in, the door was locked from the outside. That key is not in my hands, and with General Lu in my hands, I cannot open the iron gate. ”
Han Huaichu thought, “That’s right, if someone brings me food everyday, I can escape when the door opens. Ji Feng had installed an additional steel door and even sent a general to guard it, wanting to cut off my thoughts. It seems that Ji Feng views me, a Heaven Decimating Witness, with great importance. ”
After Liu Xi finished cleaning, he picked up the food box and walked away along the stone steps.
After hearing Liu Xi’s words, Han Huaichuhu was so happy that he wanted to escape. But he did not know what the metal door on the stone steps looked like, and who was the General Lu guarding it.
He thought about this silently.
In the evening, Liu Xi brought food over to deliver a piece of news that Han Huaichu did not want to hear the most.
Liu Xi said, “Today is the day of the New Son of Heaven’s Ascension Ceremony, a girl suddenly came to the city. “That girl is so beautiful …”
Before he finished speaking, Han Huaichu already knew who it was and was greatly shocked in his heart, “In the end, Zhiya, don’t worry. You’ve personally come. He absent-mindedly asked: “What kind of beauty is that girl?”
Liu Xi replied: “I also haven’t seen that girl. I heard that she was like Chang’e who descended from the heavens in the middle of the moon, causing the citizens of the city to be fixated on her. “Wherever that young lady went, a large group of people followed behind her. Not only was she a prodigal son, she also had seven old men and eighty years of age following her.”
“Crap!” With how focused Zhi Ya is, how could Ji Feng not know about it. ”
Han Huaichu asked anxiously: “What happened next?”
Liu Xi said: “Later on, someone from the palace came and invited that girl into the palace. The people on the street have lost sight of the girl and their disappointment has gone away. ”
Han Huaichu felt as if his heart had fallen into an icehouse, and asked: “Then what happened after the lady entered the palace?”
Liu Xi shook his head and said: “I don’t know about that.”
Han Huaichu became anxious, “Really, whatever I’m worried about will come. Where did Zhiya go? Ji Feng was just about to look for her, but looking at her beautiful appearance, how could he not be tempted? ”
Ji Feng was not Chen Sheng, but the Devil Lord who wanted to incite a calamity in the world. He wanted to make Zhiya his concubine and take her as his private concubine. This was too terrifying!
He only heard the sound of footsteps on the stone steps, and in the past few days, Han Huaichu had been familiar with the refreshing fragrance that drifted over.
“Zhiya actually found this place!” Han Huaichu was shocked and excited at the same time.
He hurried out of the cell and looked up.
The blood all over Han Huaichu’s body solidified all of a sudden.
He only saw that following Yu Zhiya was actually another person with a jade-like face and eyes full of spring. It was Devil Lord Ji Feng!
