Ling Yi's voice was very soft, but his hand was pressed firmly on the other person's shoulder. After a short silence, he continued: "I know that the eldest prince dare not see me, because he knows very well that once he sees me, his
My life may not be saved. But I won't hide anything from you. Now I am injured and my strength is not as good as before. Now that I have met the eldest prince, I won't be able to do it so easily just because of the people who have been following the eldest prince.
Succeeded."
"Lord Ling Yi, please stop joking. Who else in this world can hurt you except His Excellency Donghuang? Such awkward excuses are not your style, sir."
"Hmph!" Zero One sneered, and suddenly released his grip on the other party's hand, "Turn around and take a closer look."
After hearing this, the other party turned around and couldn't see clearly in the dark dungeon. However, one of the people was missing an arm. Such a huge contrast was still obvious.
Seeing Ling Yi's arm, the Japanese were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but take two steps back. His pupils shrank instantly, and he almost bit his tongue while speaking.
"Sir, you...your hands..."
Zero One said nothing and continued to unbutton his clothes, revealing all the gauze on his body.
Zero One's body was tied up like a mummy, and blood stains could be seen on the gauze.
"Do you believe it now? I am injured now and my strength is not as good as before."
"How is this possible?! Who can hurt you, sir...can actually...break one of your arms..."
"This is not something you should care about. I want to see the eldest prince now, and you must know where the eldest prince is."
Now it was the Japanese man's turn to be silent. He was thinking about various problems.
Because Zero One's current situation is really unexpected.
Ling Yi also gave him enough time, and he felt that there was a woman outside the dungeon, the Chun Jiao who was following Xia Shang.
This woman stood outside to buy him time, and had already stopped several people who wanted to come in to check.
So Zero One is not in a hurry now.
After waiting for a while, the Japanese people asked: "Sir, how did you know that I am here? It's not that I doubt your ability, but why would a little person like me bother you to worry about me?"
"because
Because someone told me and asked me to rescue you."
"who?"
"The head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that boy named Xia."
"Ah?!" Upon hearing these words, the Japanese people were shocked and turned around to run away.
However, Zero One took action and immediately held him in place: "Although my strength is greatly reduced, I am still more than enough to deal with you alone."
"Are you on the same side as the Dahua Imperial Court?"
"Don't be so nervous! I did have a transaction with a man named Xia from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can be regarded as a cooperative relationship. But you have to figure out who I am? How can I cooperate with the Chinese people? That guy really thought that I would cooperate with him
Cooperate and actually want to use mine to trick you."
"Gulu..." The Japanese swallowed, "So, my Lord, coming here is completely a trap, and it is intentional..."
"Dahua has a saying that he will follow his plan. I just followed his wishes to find you. For me, I also want to see the eldest prince, and it is naturally better to go through you than to find it myself. Now you think about it
No? Do you want to take me to see the eldest prince? If you are still unwilling, then I can only kill you as you wish."
With that said, Zero One squeezed the Japanese man's hand and began to squeeze it a little harder.
"Wait!" The Japanese man was a little anxious, "I have one last question."
"Say it."
"Why do you want to see the eldest prince?"
"Because now I can no longer act alone. Although there is some conflict between me and the eldest prince in terms of purpose, it is better for that treasure to fall into the hands of Japanese people than to fall into the hands of Chinese people. Therefore, I need to put it down temporarily.
Conflict, cooperate with the eldest prince."
"..."
After another period of silence, the Japanese finally relaxed their tone and said, "Okay, I will take you to see the eldest prince."
…
Fourth watch.
It has been time for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go out to track down the Japanese team.
A small number of people have already returned, all of them looking disgraced, obviously not getting any information.
Xia Shang yawned, with a sleepy look on his face, and walked to Chunjiao at the door of the dungeon. He glanced at the dark door and asked in a low voice: "Have the people inside left?"
"Just left."
"Just leave."
"But my subordinate just heard
He said that he was just playing tricks, and that Ling Yi didn’t really want to cooperate with you. My subordinates are a little suspicious and don’t know who this person is sincere to."
"It doesn't matter whether he is sincere or not. As long as he wants to know the general outline of the Heavenly Book, he can't get around me. If he doesn't cooperate with me, he will never be able to pry Zhuo Bufan's mouth off."
"Sir..." Xiao Shan interrupted softly.
Only then did Xia Shang notice that Xiao Shan, Min Xiner, Xue Lengxiang and others were all back, and they all looked disgraced and looked like they were coming back to receive their punishment.
Xia Shang glanced at them and waved his hand: "Let's all disperse."
Everyone's heart is tense. If the adults scold you a few words, everyone will feel better. If you don't say a word, it will make people even more embarrassed.
Xia Shang also has his own plan to use today's events to suppress the arrogance in the hearts of these masters, otherwise his right to speak will not be enough over time.
The reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate caused such a big incident this time was because Xia Shang was too casual and did not have much control over everyone.
After this incident, Xia Shang finally understood that the current situation was not suitable for decentralized control.
Seeing Xia Shang's silence, a group of managers led by several masters looked at each other, and in the end they could only sigh and disperse.
"Xue Lengxiang and Min Xiner will stay here for a while."
The two women were stopped and returned to Xia Shang.
Thinking they were about to be scolded alone, the two women lowered their heads politely, as well-behaved as children who failed an exam.
"Cheer up, the real work begins now. Apprentice, go make me a cup of strong tea..."
"Huh? Oh..."
Xue Lengxiang was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what the master meant, but she didn't ask and went ahead obediently.
Min Xiner was a little curious: "Brother Xia, what else is going on? We made such a serious mistake, why didn't you say a word?"
Xia Shang looked at Chunjiao, and then Chunjiao said: "All this has been arranged by the adults, so naturally there is no need to say anything."
"Already arranged?"
"My lord has wanted that person to be rescued from the very beginning. In order not to expose any flaws, I did not notify you in advance. But what I didn't expect was that several of the prisoners under your master's care would be kidnapped so easily."
