Along the way, Lin Ze consciously followed several palace guards who were ordered to take him to the death row. What surprised Lin Ze was that the so-called "death row" was not outside Xianyang Palace, but to the left of the Yangxin Palace.
After walking quickly for two quarters of an hour, Lin Ze saw the true face of the "Death Prison" in Lushan - a dungeon built under a hill.
The entire "death cell", as its name suggests, is quiet and even deathly silent. There is not even a guard at the gate, as if it is just an empty cell.
The middle-aged palace guard who took the lead seemed to be very familiar with this. He stepped into the "death cell" door first without being surprised, and said loudly: "Old Mo, Old Sheng, a prisoner is coming."
Lin Ze followed and walked in, and found that this "death cell" was not as damp and dark as ordinary dungeons. Under the sufficient light of torches, it looked clean and bright.
The middle-aged palace guard led Lin Ze down the stairs and stood in the lobby of "Death Row", waiting for a response.
After a long while, a confused voice sounded, as if he had just woken up from sleep: "Old Mo, it seems that a new prisoner has arrived. You and I have work to do."
Then another voice sounded: "Huh?"
Before the sound could even finish, Lin Ze felt dazzled. An old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of him. He shouted excitedly: "Old Sheng, there really is a new prisoner."
His expression was like seeing a good friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Soon Lin Ze found that there was another bald old man in front of him, and he said equally excitedly: "I thought I was dreaming, there is really a new prisoner."
Old Mo, who had white hair and beard, sighed: "Yes, after many years, I finally met a new prisoner. Old Sheng, what was the name of the last prisoner, Fan Ju?"
The bald Mr. Sheng shook his head and said, "Old Mo, you are really old and confused. The last prisoner should have been named Han Fei."
Fan Ju? Han Fei?
Lin Ze was shocked after hearing this, and praised silently in his heart: No wonder this "death cell" can be set up in Xianyang Palace. It is so high-level. I can compare with Fan Ju and Han Fei. Emperor Qin is really wise and discerning.
.
When the middle-aged palace guard saw both of them coming out, he immediately said: "Mr. Mo, Mr. Sheng, I will leave this prisoner to you two. Your Majesty may summon him at any time, so please take care of me."
Mr. Mo immediately waved his hands and said disgustedly: "I know, finally a new prisoner is here, is it possible that we will force him to commit suicide? You don't need to tell me, he will definitely be taken care of well."
Mr. Sheng helped from the side and said: "That's right, the handover is over, you can leave quickly. We are busy guarding prisoners and have heavy responsibilities, so we don't have time to chat with you."
The middle-aged palace guard was a little speechless. It was rare in a hundred years for a prisoner to be sent here. Even if he was sent here, he would commit suicide within three months. You two elders told me that they are busy?
This prisoner has just been brought over and hasn't been put into the cell yet. How can it be considered that the handover has been completed?
However, the middle-aged palace guard did not refute. Instead, he cupped his hands and turned around and led his men away. Ever since he became a palace guard, he had heard of these two elders. They both practiced sonic skills and were very good at talking.
He can drive people crazy with his sound waves at every turn.
Although he is also in the sixth level, the longer a warrior lives, the more fearful he becomes, so he had better not get into trouble.
After the middle-aged palace guard left, Mr. Mo couldn't wait to ask: "Little baby, I see that you are so young. I don't know what you have committed, but your Majesty ordered you to be put on death row?"
Lin Ze replied respectfully: "I was arrested because my master offended His Majesty."
Mr. Sheng said suspiciously: "Boy, are you lying? According to His Majesty's character, if the sect offends him, it usually kills the whole family. How can you be left as a disciple?"
Mr. Mo interrupted: "Perhaps His Majesty cherishes talents. Do you, an old guy, have such a young fourth-level warrior?"
Mr. Sheng sneered and said: "Nonsense, how could this kid be more talented than Han Fei? Han Fei committed suicide by taking poison, let alone him?"
Mr. Mo ignored him and asked Lin Ze, "By the way, where is your unlucky master? Was he beheaded by His Majesty?"
Lin Ze replied honestly: "No, he escaped and is missing."
The two elders took a deep breath and said in unison: "Escaped? Impossible. Who is your master?"
"Master Xu Fu."
The two elders looked at each other. They were actually disciples of Xu Fu, the national master. No, Xu Fu actually offended His Majesty. What happened outside?
The two of them haven't left the dungeon for a long time, and their information is somewhat blocked. For a while, they couldn't figure out the connection between them.
Old Mo suddenly had an idea and said, "Old Sheng, go and have someone bring you some good wine and food to entertain this little friend. How about we listen to him talk about what's going on outside?"
Mr. Sheng showed hesitation: "Old Mo, isn't this good? We are the ones guarding the prisoners, and this kid is a prisoner. According to the rules, isn't it necessary to kill the powerful one?"
Mr. Mo scolded angrily: "Old Sheng, you must have been stupid in your sleep. Finally, a prisoner comes and you still want to kill Wei Bang. If you force him to death, I will fight with you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sheng shrank his neck and said, "Old Mo, don't get excited, I'll ring the bell right now."
The two of them were ordered to guard this death row and came into contact with some secrets. For example, in the case of the Queen Mother of Qin, Emperor Qin would be very merciful if he did not kill anyone and silence them. He ordered the two of them not to leave the death row, so they had to ring the bell for people to deal with eating, drinking, and diarrhea.
.
Mr. Mo then cordially took Lin Ze to sit down at a stone table and said, "Since my little friend is here, it means we are destined to be together. No need to be restrained. Just treat this place as your own home."
Lin Ze... I'm so out of my mind that I think death row is my home.
Mr. Mo continued to chatter: "My respected teacher Xu Fu was once the object of our admiration. So, tell us what happened and what is the situation outside?"
After speaking, he looked at Lin Ze eagerly.
Lin Ze rolled his eyes and knew in his heart that he was really lucky. He was imprisoned in a century-old "death prison". The only two guards behaved very kindly because there had been no new prisoners for a long time.
Of course, Lin Ze would not refuse this opportunity to maintain a relationship. He smiled and said, "Please listen and explain slowly."
Lin Ze then told the story about how Xu Fu was ordered to go to sea to search for immortals, but disappeared again, thus offending Emperor Qin.
Then he talked about Emperor Qin changing his prime minister, Lord Shang being executed for his rebellion, etc.
This caused the second elder to sigh, and even the table of food that was delivered was not touched at all, and Lin Ze ate it all.
The second elder asked Lin Ze one after another for almost a day. Seeing Lin Ze's tired face, he refrained from asking any more questions and reluctantly let Lin Ze rest first.
Mr. Mo specifically warned Lin Ze: "You are the only prisoner in the entire prison. I and I will not put you in any shackles or cell. You can find a place to rest by yourself."
"But no matter what, don't think about escaping. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, I'm afraid we will make you suffer a lot."
Mr. Sheng added on the side: "You must know that the two of us are practicing sound wave skills. Once we are alert, we can sense the slightest movement. We have all recorded your footsteps. You can't escape. Don't waste it."
Your mind is asking for trouble."
Lin Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I won't run away."
The two nodded and turned to leave.
Lin Ze suddenly said: "Second elders, please stay. I heard that Han Fei was once imprisoned here. Which cell is he being held in? I want to take a look."
Old Man Mo said without looking back: "The innermost cell in the first row."
