Chapter 660 Are You Familiar with This Cage?

"Meng Shanming and those 100,000 cavalry ran away?"

Long Xiu asked in surprise, and Gong Lince and Meng Xuan who were beside him were also shocked. This matter is carried out extremely confidentially, and the insider should not leak the secret.

Shocked by this incident, Shang Jianxiong, the emperor of Yan Kingdom who came here in person, waved his hand, and Tian Yu handed Ga Miaoshui's memorial to Long Xiu.

Long Xiu received the hand and quickly checked it. Gong Lince and Meng Xuan couldn't hold back, and quickly squeezed around him to watch the report together.

There is no reason why they are not nervous. There are still generals who can command Nanzhou troops and fight well, and Nanzhou’s power is still intact. A careless one will be a catastrophe. To put it bluntly, Nanzhou will be forced to rebel up.

At this juncture, Han Song is eyeing the tiger, and there are rebels inside. If Nanzhou rebels, things will be troublesome. How can they not be nervous?

Long Xiu's first thought was that someone had leaked the secret, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the people of the Shang Chaozong ran away just as soon as the decision was made here?

It's really a big deal, and the people who know about it from the beginning are limited, only the high-level officials of the court and the three major factions, even if they are sent to carry out the work, they will not disclose what they are going to do until the end.

After seeing the report saying that Shang Chaozong was still there, Long Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, as long as Shang Chaozong can be controlled and Shang Chaozong is in his hands as a hostage, Nanzhou will not dare to act rashly."

Shang Jianxiong said: "Palace Master, Niu Youdao, are you sure you can make him submit?"

"At this point, he can't help but disagree!" Long Xiu grimaced, and was still a little confused immediately, "How could it be such a coincidence, could it be that someone leaked the secret?"

Shang Jianxiong hesitated and said: "It seems impossible. Those people were the ones who knew about it at the beginning. These people should not leak the secrets, and this matter is indeed a bit of a coincidence. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners were captured before they decided to attack the Shang Dynasty. Well, they were arguing about this before, but Shang Chaozong insisted on his own opinion."

Long Xiu still had doubts, "If you insist on your own opinion, you have withdrawn the guards around you. Does Your Majesty think it's reasonable?"

Shang Jianxiong was puzzled, "Maybe I think I dare not touch him at this time. The few people on my side are unlikely to leak the secret. If there is a problem, you should check it out."

Several people were suspicious, and began to think about the insiders in their hearts.

At this time, no one dared to rule out the possibility of leaking the secret. It was not until the follow-up news came that Shang Chaozong had indeed been taken down and was successfully taken to prison in the capital. Only then did he really give up his doubts and believe that it was indeed a coincidence. .

The reason is very simple. If someone really leaked the secret and let the other party know, Shang Chaozong, as the commander of Nanzhou, could not avoid danger. There is no reason why his subordinates ran away from the commander but failed to run away. He should also find a way to run away. , How could it be possible to be caught.

But this side did not give up on the investigation of this matter easily. As soon as Shang Chaozong was caught in the prison, he immediately interrogated him and asked him why he suddenly evacuated his men and horses.

Shang Chaozong didn't want to say anything at first, and he was not polite to him here, so he used punishment!

Just because he killed the elder of Xiaoyao Palace and Shang Jianxiong's attitude towards him, he has already been caught, so it's no wonder he can still be polite to him.

Later, Shang Chaozong gradually realized that something was wrong, and realized that what people were concerned about was not why he suddenly evacuated the troops, but suspected that someone had leaked the secret to him before they attacked him.

So Shang Chaozong immediately began to bite, from Shang Yongzhong to Tong Mo, Gao Jiancheng, Tian Yu and even Ga Miaoshui, including the top three factions, he basically bit them once.

He really didn't know if someone leaked the secret, let alone who leaked the secret. Anyway, the people he could bite were those who he thought were not good things, and those who he thought it was impossible to leak the secret.

The court is not stupid, how could it not know that he was biting.

At night, the stars are hanging low, the lights in the capital are still on, and a distinguished guest has come to the prison.

Shang Jianxiong came, and personally came to the dark and gloomy dungeon as the emperor, and the others avoided, only Tian Yu accompanied him.

Tian Yu released the Moon Butterfly, which immediately made the dark prison glow in a different way.

Shang Chaozong, who was in ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and blood-stained lying in the straw, was awakened by the light. With iron-shackled hands, he brushed away the messy hair in front of his eyes, and saw the person standing outside the cage. After seeing who it was, he climbed up with great difficulty, dragged his shackles, staggered to the front of the cage, grabbed the fence with both hands, and looked at the people outside the cage.

Shang Jianxiong admired the embarrassment of the other party. This kind of place was not the place he should come to, but he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help running here, just to see how embarrassed the other party is now, and to know what kind of mentality he is.

In the end, it was Shang Jianxiong who broke the silence, "Chaozong, are you familiar with this prison?"

Shang Chaozong: "Of course I am familiar with it. How could I not be familiar with the place where I have been locked up for several years? Isn't this what you want to see?"

Shang Jianxiong: "The widow specifically explained that since I am back, I will naturally go back to my 'home', and I will feel at ease living here. The widow specially came to see you."

Shang Chaozong: "When I was imprisoned for several years, I never saw you. Now that I come, you come to visit. Should I thank you for your kindness?"

Shang Jianxiong shook his head slightly, and said in a loud voice: "I heard that you command the wind and rain in Nanzhou, commanding thousands of troops on the battlefield, and even the elders of the three major sects are killed as soon as they are ordered. What a hero you are. Why are you so embarrassed now?"

Shang Chaozong smiled, "I'm not embarrassed, it's just that I was murdered for a while. The people who are really embarrassed are the people who live in the majestic palace. They seem to be well-clothed and well-fed, but in fact, internal and external troubles are constant. Incapable of domestic affairs, incompetent externally, internally only knowing about murdering one's own people, leaving the people without food and clothing, turning a good swallow into a mess, being cursed by the people day and night as a foolish king. Your Majesty, I don't know who is more embarrassed ?”

Tian Yu's face changed drastically, and he quietly glanced at Shang Jianxiong's expression.

Shang Jianxiong's face was really ugly, his cheeks were tense for a while, he stared at the person in the cage, and said slowly: "A moment of trouble? Do you think you can still get out?"

Shang Chaozong hehe said: "If you dare to kill me, you can't wait until now. If you don't kill me, I still have a chance. Do you dare to kill me?"

Shang Jianxiong: "Do you think that only when your father and son ascend to the throne can the country of Yan be safe and peaceful?" He reached out his hand and took off the straw that was stuck on the dirty hand on the iron railing, "Your father Smarter than you, know where to do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and dropped a sentence, "I still have the energy to bicker, how did the interrogation go?"

Soon, the guards in the dungeon came quickly, and when the prison door opened, they dragged Shang Chaozong to the execution room to be tortured, and the whip cracked continuously...

Gao Mansion, the mansion of the Great Situ of the State of Yan, Gao Jiancheng seemed to be in a good mood after dinner, and it was very rare to wander around in such a big mansion.

The servants saluted one after another when they saw him. When the sons and daughters saw him, they paid homage to him one after another. The wives and concubines were a little surprised when they saw him and rushed to salute.

During the period, the grandchildren who were running and playing ran into him, and the grandpa, grandpa and the like kept shouting, but they all followed the rules of the big family.

With such a large family business, there are hundreds of people living in the mansion alone. It can be said that there are many wives and concubines, and the house is full of children and grandchildren. Gao Jiancheng smiled and nodded all the way.

When he met the wife of the eldest son Gao Shaoming, he lost interest.

The daughter-in-law dragged her eldest grandson to kneel in front of him and wiped her tears, "Father, I heard that Shang Chaozong, the leader of the Nanzhou thieves, was arrested and brought to the capital. Father, Shaoming was wronged for his death. You must avenge Shaoming!"

For her, being a widow is not a good feeling, and entering such a family is not something she can easily remarry if she wants to. Gao Jiancheng has a high position and power, and her son is Gao Jiancheng's eldest grandson, so someone must dare to marry her.

The eldest grandson also choked up and said: "Grandpa, grandson wants to kill the enemy!"

"Get up, get up." Gao Jiancheng stretched out his hand to pull his grandson up, patted his shoulder, and sighed: "I have grown a lot taller, study hard, the Gao family will count on you in the future. "

After some reassurance, the housekeeper Fan Zhuan followed him and left.

After returning to his yard, Gao Jiancheng suddenly wanted to listen to the piano, and Fan Zhuan immediately invited Gao Jiancheng's concubine.

A nineteen-year-old beautiful woman, Gao Jiancheng is old enough to be her grandfather, but she is indeed Gao Jiancheng's concubine, who was trained well since childhood and played the piano well.

After the woman came over to salute with the piano, she asked, "What do you want to hear, master?" Her voice was still a little immature.

After Gao Jiancheng was silent for a while, he said, "Just the song "Yin Shang"."

"Yes!" The beautiful woman bowed in response, turned around and sat down in the pavilion, and soon, the melodious and melodious mournful piano sound came out.

Gao Jiancheng, who was immersed in the sound of the piano, looked up at the stars with his hands behind his back, and finally murmured the lyrics to the sound of the piano, "Moon-watching, moon-watching, my eyes are blurred..."

Fan Zhuan walked over, took a robe in his hand, and gently draped it over his shoulders.

Gao Jiancheng suddenly changed his tone and sighed, "If I'm not here, where will the hundreds of people in Gao's family go?"

Fan Zhuan comforted him: "Master is too worried."

Gao Jiancheng: "I'm a mother-in-law, I study hard with my hair tied up, and I aim for peace in the world. I don't want to go back and forth. I have already forgotten my original intention and earned a lot of wealth. In the end, I am old and tired, but I dare not fall down."

Fan Zhuan tried to ask: "The master is in a mood today, but because of the arrest of Emperor Shang?"

Gao Jiancheng: "It's not that I'm emotionally unstable, it's just that I have a lot of emotion. Old Fan, I thought that there would be another good plan over there, but I didn't expect it to be like this... that person would rather sacrifice the Shang Dynasty to protect me! That's it! This kind of peace of mind, treating me like a soldier of the country, is a person who understands righteousness, I have no worries, if there is a future where I can rest assured to entrust my future affairs, why is my mood so unstable?"

Fan Zhuan nodded slightly in thought. He didn't expect that Niu Youdao would let Shang Chaozong take risks in order to keep the master. People like the master are not easy to be touched, but this time the master was really touched.
