Chapter 1: Prince Jiang Nan goes to the dungeon by order
The antique study room is brightly lit.
Sitting next to the desk near the window was a young man wearing a white robe embroidered with gold and auspicious clouds, quietly flipping through a thick book in his hand.
The young man has a handsome and fair face and looks to be fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her long, glossy black hair was tied neatly behind her head, meticulously.
"Master, it's time to set off."
Outside the study, a respectful voice came.
Jiang Nan raised his head slightly, his eyes were clear, and there was a touch of laziness between his handsome eyebrows, as if he didn't care much about anything.
Only when I'm reading can I have a somewhat transcendent concentration.
He raised his eyes and looked out the window.
At this time, it was bright outside the window, and the sunlight fell slantly through the sparse leaves onto the flat bluestone ground, leaving a mottled patch.
From the perspective of the sun setting, it is already three poles above the sun.
A calm and gentle smile appeared on Jiang Nan's face: "It's getting late, it's time to go to work in the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division. Today is the first time to go to work, so it shouldn't be too late."
Although it was a little unbelievable to be transported to this other world, he didn't have much discomfort with it since he had always lived a quiet life.
His parents died young, and he has achieved financial freedom in his thirties. He owns 30 million Penguin shares, several properties in the downtown areas of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and a courtyard house.
I dated several girlfriends, but they all fell through.
I spend most of my time writing, drawing, playing the piano and reading. Occasionally I will go fishing with a few friends, or go backpacking and travel around. I live a very leisurely life.
I just didn't expect that I would wake up here yesterday and become the eldest son of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that such a starting point in life is not a low one.
The eldest son of the prince's palace was awarded Jin Ce by the emperor and could inherit the position of prince hereditary.
However, the predecessor inexplicably entered the palace prison and let go of the demon saint. The emperor was furious.
If his father, Jiang Junjian, was not a prince with a foreign surname in the Ming Dynasty, and both his wife and his wife were guarding Moyuan, and his grandfather, Jiang Tianxing, was the general of Zhenbei, and the family had worked hard and accomplished a great deal, I am afraid that the emperor would have killed the entire Jiang family.
In the end, with the intercession of the Taifu and other ministers, they only accepted his financial policy, deprived him of his position as heir apparent, and demoted him to a commoner.
At the same time, he was demoted to the Demon Slayer Division in Kyoto and became the most ordinary underground torturer. He was made to feel the blood of demons all the time.
Jiang Tianxing, on the other hand, was deprived of his military power and ordered to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes.
It sounds like an injustice.
The previous night, my predecessor drank some wine with a few distinguished descendants at Jiaofangsi.
But he did not stay in Jiaofangsi overnight, but went directly home to sleep.
But for some reason, he appeared in the "Palace Prison" in a daze.
However, this "palace prison" is not a dark and damp dungeon, but a luxurious and warm women's dormitory.
Inside there was a voluptuous woman wearing tulle with her back to him.
Jiang Nan swore on his conscience that he really didn't see anything except the enchantress's waterfall-like hair, slender white waist, and plump and round buttocks.
I don't even know what the woman looks like.
Judging from the figure, the woman should be very beautiful.
But before the other party turned around, he smelled a special aroma.
Then he fainted again.
When he woke up, he found that he was really in a dark and damp dungeon, with chains scattered on the ground.
Then comes memory fusion.
Until now, Jiang Nan still hasn't figured out whether it is the fusion of souls in the past life and this life, or whether he came and the other one left.
All I know is that after the memory fusion, he didn't reject it at all, everything was so natural.
After being demoted to a commoner, he could no longer live in the imperial city. Jiang Nan had no choice but to leave the Prince's Mansion and live in the "Cui Bamboo Residence" in the outer city of Kyoto.
The Green Bamboo Residence is not too small, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters. In addition to three rows of exquisite houses and attics, there is a garden full of green bamboo, and the environment is elegant and quiet.
Although he committed a serious crime and was demoted to a commoner, Jiang Tianxing still arranged for him a bodyguard and two servants.
There are only four people in the entire Cuizhu Residence.
But this just suited Jiang Nan's original indifferent temperament.
When you have nothing to do, you can drink tea, take a walk, and read a book.
He is actually very satisfied with this kind of life.
Whether he is the crown prince or not, it actually doesn't matter.
As the only son of the Jiang family, even if he is demoted to a commoner, he still doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Regarding his predecessor's inexplicable entry into the palace prison and the release of the demon saint, Jiang Nan quickly concluded that this was a conspiracy after considering the causes and consequences.
"Is this conspiracy only against me, or against the entire Jiang family? Who is driving this conspiracy? What is its purpose?"
"The emperor demoted me to the position of demon slayer and torturer. The superficial purpose seems to be to show me what the demons that harm the world look like, to let me kill these demons with my own hands, and to experience being a demon hunter and demon slayer with my own hands.
the hard work of the person.
But whether the emperor really thinks so is unknown..."
As a prince, he naturally knows more about the dungeon where monsters are kept than the average person.
The dungeon is full of evil spirits and resentment, and ordinary torturers must leave within three months at most, otherwise they will be invaded by evil spirits and resentment and die.
The emperor just let him enter the dungeon to become the lowest torturer, but did not give him time to leave.
In other words, life and death are still firmly in the hands of the emperor.
Jiang Nan didn't care about this either.
As the eldest son of the prince's palace, although he was deprived of his position as heir apparent, he did not think that he would die easily.
Even the emperor who entered the palace prison and released the Saint of the Demon Realm did not kill him. This shows that even the emperor is a little afraid of the power of the Jiang family, or has some scruples.
After all, his father, Prince Yong Jiang Junjian, and his grandfather, General Jiang Tianxing of Zhenbei, were not just decorations.
In other words, the emperor didn't want to kill him at all, he just did it for other purposes.
It is difficult for outsiders to guess the emperor's thoughts.
It is possible that this was just a strategy of the emperor.
There are some things that he still needs to consider and investigate in detail.
"They come, the security."
Jiang Nan put away her slightly aroused mood, closed the books with bookmarks, and placed them neatly on the side of the desk.
Then he stood up.
The study room is very spacious.
The floor is paved with thick rosewood, with a reddish-brown texture and an overall yellowish tone.
Surrounded by dark red iron sandalwood bookshelves that are as tall as a person.
Almost every floor of the bookshelf is packed with books of all kinds.
In the middle of the study room is a dark red coffee table and a soft tea table. On the coffee table are neatly placed a tea tray engraved with a unicorn pattern and a porcelain white flying phoenix tea set.
Jiang Nan walked over and poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Then he rinsed the tea cups out of habit, put them away, and then walked out.
Outside the study, a seventeen-year-old boy wearing servant's clothes was standing with his hands down, his face respectful.
"Ozawako, where is your sister?"
Standing in the large corridor, Jiang Nan raised his eyes to the sky and asked casually.
This tone is also the tone of the predecessor. There is nothing wrong with it, and others can't see any change.
The boy's name is Li Ze, and he has a sister named Li Lu, who are Jiang Nan's two personal servants.
Li Ze has been following his predecessor for five years.
My sister Li Lu came here recently and had been staying at the General's Mansion.
Li Ze looked at the young master in front of him, who was dressed in white and as handsome as an immortal. He was slightly in a trance.
Li Ze has always been aggrieved that his young master had fallen into such a predicament.
Is my young master the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation? This is obviously a trap deliberately set by someone, and even a fool can see it.
But there is no evidence.
The young master was indeed found in the palace prison, but the demon saint in the prison was missing.
After asking, but not hearing Li Ze's reply, Jiang Nan turned to look over.
Seeing the young master looking over, Li Ze came back to his senses and said respectfully: "Sister went shopping for groceries."
Jiang Nan nodded slightly.
"Let's go."
Then he walked on the bluestone road towards the outside of Cuizhu Residence.
Li Ze followed closely behind.
Soon the master and servant came to the door.
A large carriage stopped at the door.
The cart was pulled by a tall maroon horse.
Standing next to the carriage was an upright young man, about 27 or 28 years old, who was his bodyguard Zhou Qing.
"Your Highness." When Zhou Qing saw Jiang Nan, he immediately clasped his fists and said respectfully.
Zhou Qing is a seventh-level heavenly warrior in the Kaiyuan Realm.
The aura emanating from his whole body made Jiang Nan feel a little depressed.
The early stages of a warrior are divided into: body training, meridians, and Kaiyuan. Not many can enter the Kaiyuan realm at the age of twenty-five or six.
From this point of view, Zhou Qing is considered a genius.
"I am no longer the Crown Prince. From today on, don't call me Your Highness anymore. Please call me Young Master."
Jiang Nan said with a smile.
Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with a strange color.
His Highness is still the same His Highness, his speech, behavior and demeanor are the same, and he is still indifferent to favors and humiliations, but it seems to him that there is a little more inexplicable something about His Highness.
There is calmness and maturity.
Maybe it's because of this blow.
Sure enough, people need to go through hardships to become more mature.
Then he clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Yes, young master."
In fact, even if the General's Office didn't send him over, Jiang Nan would have no problem.
Although Jiang Nan was demoted to a commoner, in Kyoto, there was no one who was short-sighted and dared to do anything to the only child of Prince Yong's Mansion.
As a guard, it only plays a simple role of protecting and showing an identity.
Jiang Nan lifted his feet, stepped on the car, and then got into the car.
Li Ze followed and sat in the driving seat.
Zhou Qing did not get in the car and followed him beside the car.
As a Kaiyuan realm warrior, his walking speed is no slower than that of a carriage.
Cuizhuju is located to the west of the outer city of Kyoto, and the Demon Slayer Dungeon is also located to the west of the outer city.
The carriage rattled towards the west.
The carriage was very ordinary, but in the restaurant not far away, some people were looking at this ordinary carriage.
In the restaurant, two young men wearing blue clothes embroidered with gold and brocade were standing at the window, looking down at the carriage passing by on the street.
Among them, the young man in blue clothes said with a smile: "Young Master Jiang has indeed gone to work in the dungeon of the Demon Slayer Division. What a pity."
"It's a pity that the Holy Maiden of the Demon Realm was let go. If it weren't for the fact that his father, Prince Yong, had made great contributions to the country, His Majesty would have killed his entire family!"
The young man in brocade clothes was unconvinced.
"Hey, let's forget it. At least His Majesty didn't kill him and gave him a job. This shows that Your Majesty is kind." The young man in blue frowned imperceptibly, then straightened his eyebrows and said, "Okay, look.
I saw it too, let’s go back and report it.”
"Would you like to follow me and have a look?"
The young man in brocade didn't seem to notice the expression of the young man in blue and watched the carriage go away.
"No need. You must know that his becoming a prisoner in the dungeon was appointed by His Majesty. As long as Young Master Jiang is not a fool, he will not resist the order."
"That's true... Hey, you said that Jiang Nan obviously doesn't dare to resist the decree. His Highness insists that we come and take a look. What does he mean?"
When the young man in blue heard this, his expression changed: "Shut up!! Don't ask anything you should or shouldn't ask! Do you not want to live anymore?"
The young man in Jinyi suddenly woke up when he heard this. He realized that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "I am the one who talks too much. I shouldn't ask!"
The young man in blue gave him a cold look and said, "Let's go."
"good."

PS: Newbie, new book...please take care of me.
Each of my chapters is relatively long, some even reaching seven or eight thousand words, so it may seem like the number of chapters is small, but the number of words is quite large, which is definitely enough.
Qidian has been using PK system recently, and it is seriously involuted. Brothers, please don’t keep books.
Even if you don’t have time to read it every day, you should at least take the time to click on it.
Poor grades will weaken the author's enthusiasm for creation.
