Chapter 2707 Can you save me and wait for my escape, why not eat a pillar?
"Oh...it's been so many days. When will these days end?"
An official raised his fingers and scratched his hair, which had spread out like a beggar.
He stared blankly at the light coming from the narrow window in the cell, which was only as big as he could put his head in.
Shining on the wall of the cell, it was a rare light source during the day.
Not far away, an official grinned and put his hand on his neck. After groping for a long time, his fingertips suddenly exerted force.
Then, he held the tiny insect struggling on his fingertips under the sunlight and watched it.
Fleas, what kind of fleas?! The official's eyes suddenly bulged.
After many years, it is natural that a group of colleagues around me cannot have this thing, and I have only seen it on my own dog.
Unexpectedly, I have just stayed in this prison for such a period of time, and I have developed this thing...
There was a crisp sound, and the official saw the fleas on his fingertips being killed. Then he muttered a few rubbish words in Guanzhong angrily and was about to lean back and lie down.
Hearing the sound coming from not far away, his face suddenly darkened and he turned his head away.
Not only him, but many officials also looked over there.
Right next door to their cell, Li Yifu, who had a fancy name like Tian Can Di Que and was despised by some civil servants and jokingly called the vicious dog of the Cheng family, and Xu Jingzong were playing cards with three people, Wang Xuance...
That's right, they were playing cards and fighting landlords. Although they were very low-key, the sound of playing cards from time to time was particularly clear in the prison where no one was willing to make a sound because they hadn't had lunch yet.
"Hmph... He is indeed the vicious dog of the Cheng family. Even his bad habits are exactly the same."
"That's right, Cheng Laosan is simply a disgrace to the officialdom. As an official, he doesn't work hard to plan for the country, but he wanders around all day long, doing nothing..."
"Oh, why don't we just rely on him being His Majesty's son-in-law and being a little clever."
"I said what you said, Mr. Chen, is wrong. If Mr. Cheng Sanlang is only smart, how could he have made so many achievements?"
"If you make great achievements, you may just have bad luck."
"If it's really bad luck, then why are we being imprisoned here, while the Cheng family are all safe and sound?"
After hearing this unskilled Guanzhong dialect, several officials who were bragging about killing Cheng Sanlang all turned their heads.
Then I saw Gal Dongzan, a Tubo native from Zhongshushe.
This Galdongzan can be regarded as a popular person in front of His Majesty. He used to represent Tubo as the envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty admired his talent and knowledge very much, and wanted to keep him in Datang.
In the end, due to the involution of the Tibetan mission and the cunning manipulation of Cheng Sanlang, he had no choice but to stay in the Tang Dynasty and become an official.
In the beginning, he served as palace supervisor at the Wanguoyuan Palace because he had meritorious service in building the palace.
After that, he entered the Zhongshu Province and became a Zhongshu Sheren with the fifth rank.
"Galshe, what you said is wrong. He, Cheng Sanlang, is your majesty's beloved son-in-law. Your majesty is on a northern tour, and Princess Jinyang is accompanying you."
"Since there is something going on in the north, with Princess Jinyang's influence in front of His Majesty, it is not difficult to inform Cheng Sanlang quietly."
"That's right, that boy must have received the news, otherwise why would Duke Lu's mansion be empty?"
Gal Dongzan glanced enviously at the three people playing cards in the next cell, and then he said something meaningful.
"I feel that with Cheng Luoyang's wisdom, he should be able to be alert and respond even without the reminder from Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang."
After hearing Gal Dongzan's words, the civil servants who had always looked down upon Cheng Sanlang gave a displeased laugh and decided to ignore the Tibetan elder.
"Alas, the late emperor passed away. The current dynasty is full of rebellious officials and traitors, and His Highness the Crown Prince is trapped in the south of the Yangtze River.
I don’t know when someone will come to rescue me.”
On the side, a foreign minister from the Ministry of War couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Maybe Cheng Sanlang, who is best at surprise attacks and rescuing people, will take on this important task. After all, he has done this before."
As an official of the Ministry of War, he has a fairly thorough understanding of Cheng Sanlang's deeds.
#####
I heard someone here actually exaggerating about Cheng Sanlang, the notorious evildoer and enemy of civil servants.
Wu Geizhong suddenly became unhappy and smiled coldly.
"Haha... I'm telling you, Member Zhao, what you said is wrong."
"This is the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, not a barbarian land on the plateau."
"The heroes on the plateau can only dominate on the plateau. How can they be as good as the Tang Dynasty?"
As soon as these words came out, Galdongzan, who originally didn't want to keep a low profile, suddenly became unhappy.
Why, you look down on me, the plateau people, right?
"Then you mean that Cheng Sanlang can only be effective when dealing with foreign enemies?"
"You must not forget that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attacked in Chang'an, and it was Cheng Sanlang who took action to turn the tide and save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's family.
Hearing Gal Dongzan's obviously displeased tone, this man curled his lips.
He patted the two-inch-thick wooden prison post he was leaning on behind.
"It was just a coincidence that he knew the conspiracy of Hou Junji and others, and he succeeded with the help of others.
Let's put it this way, if Cheng Sanlang really had that ability, he would be able to survive when Luoyang was isolated and helpless.
Save us from the prison, Wang can chew this pillar alive."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Gal Dongzan's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, the horseman Wailang beside Wang Geishang also happily patted a prison pillar beside him.
"The same is true for Mr. Cheng. As long as he, Cheng Sanlang, is really capable and can rescue us from prison, what's the point of eating a pillar?"
"But, at this time, does he dare to come?"
As soon as this statement came out, a group of colleagues burst into laughter.
Then, everyone heard the creaking sound of the door. It seemed that it was time to deliver food again.
A group of dignitaries, who could only survive on two meals a day, couldn't help but look expectantly towards the entrance of the cell door.
I heard chatter and laughter, and then the fire illuminated the dark corridor.
In the light of the fire, an imposing and tall man strode into people's sight.
But on his chiseled face, there is a pair of eagle eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts, and on the raised corners of his mouth, there is an evil and maniacal smile.
"Cheng, Cheng Sanlang?!" Wang Geizhong and the horseman Wailang, who had just been discussing how to eat the pillars, bulged their eyes in disbelief and shouted exaggeratedly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole prison was like ice water poured with hot oil, boiling instantly.
