Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 97: Heavenly Prison (Lower)

Khan, I'm sorry, I didn't know someone was waiting for an update, not today... try to save some more words tomorrow.

---------------------- This is the old divider ------------------

Xie Yu did not raise his head as he had requested, but every word Mae Chang Su said stuck into his heart like a poison prick. Even if he was really stupid, he knew that Jiang Zuo Mei Lang was right, not to mention that he was not stupid at all.

But if you don't rely on Xia Jiang, are there any other options? No. The last straw, the illusion, could only be grasped firmly, and there was no room for calculation.

Xie Yu himself knew very well that even if he went out of prison in the future, he would never betray Xia Jiang again, because that would not do him any good. Xia Jiang can protect his life, can give him some, and can even become an opportunity for him to rise again in the future. He will surely keep Xia Jiang's secrets to himself, as long as the suspense mirror master will believe him...

“Who's right about the future?” Mae Chang-su seemed to see through his mind, coldly, “like more than half a month ago, you didn't expect yourself to end up in this situation, did you? From the current situation alone, as long as Xia Jiang saves you, you really have no reason to betray him, but everything in the world is always changing. Instead of believing in you, he should believe in a dead man, that would be cleaner and more like a chancellor, right? ”

Xie Yu finally raised his head and welcomed Mae Chang-su's gaze. He still maintained his insistence: “You're right, Xia Jiang could have killed me after I left heaven, but that's just possible. I can only bet on this one last game now. Don't believe him, can't you? ”

“Why can't you trust me?” Mae Chang Su smiled slightly.

“Trust you? Mr. Sue, are you kidding me? I owe most of my day to you, and believe me, you might as well kill yourself faster. ”

“You're wrong.” Mae Chang Su is as icy as ice, “you have today all blamed yourself, no half grievance. But the reason I'm asking you to believe me is that I'm not kidding. ”

Xie Yu's gaze shivered quickly, but did not answer.

Mae Chang Su tightened the line on her lips and said slowly and clearly: "Because Xia Jiang has a reason to want you dead, and I'm not. ”

“You don't want me to die?” Xie Yu laughed, “You don't want me to die too slowly, do you? ”

“I just said," May Chang Su doesn't mind, it's still quiet, “even if you're in heaven, you're just an exile prisoner. What difference does it make to me whether you die or live? I have dealt with you only because the power in your hands has interfered with His Royal Highness, and now you are completely defeated. It does not matter whether your life or not. ”

Xie Yu looked at him skeptically: “If there is only one life left that you are not interested in right now, why don't you let me destroy myself? Why are you so spirited to come to this prison? ”

“Good question,” Mae Chang-su nodded slowly, “I'm not interested in your life at all, I'm interested... it's just Xia Jiang...”

Xie Yu Huoran turned around: “Su Zhe, you really dare to say that. Now Xia Jiang is my last hope. You expect to use me against him. Aren't you crazy? ”

“What's wrong with using you?” May Chang Su glanced at him, "Master Xie Hou is in such a situation, there are still some places to be used, should be happy. If it is useless, the road will be cut off. ”

“I'm afraid that's going to disappoint Mr. Sue.” Xie Yu bit his teeth tight, “I still bet Xia Jiang that he believed I would never betray him, which is my only way to live. ”

Mae Changsu looked at him with a twisted head and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. Clearly, he looked weak in Qingya Wen, but his hair was unjustifiably cold: “I'm so sorry, I've blocked the way to life for Grandpa Hou. ”

Xie Yu knew he shouldn't be asked, but he couldn't help but ask: “What do you mean? ”

“Thirteen years ago, you sent someone to kill Mr. Li Zhongxin, who was killed for Xia Jiang? ”

Xie Yu shocked her head and smiled. “What are you talking about? ”

“Maybe it's me,” Mae Chang Su said, “I'm just gambling and guessing. However, Yu Wang has already asked Xia Jiang why he instructed you to kill an insignificant scholar. Of course Xia Jiang will surely deny it, but after he denied it, he will inevitably wonder how Yu Wang knew that Li Zhongxin was going to kill him and wanted to think about it, unless it was Master Xie who said so...”

“I didn't say! ”

“I know you didn't, but Xia Jiang doesn't know.” Mae Chang Su smiled slightly, staring at the stall, "I can't believe I guessed correctly when I saw your reaction. So I'm sorry, you've betrayed Xia Jiang once, even though he still believes you didn't mean to leak it, at least it proves that your mouth is not as solid as the dead, and there are many ways to dig it little by little. Of course, in order to keep a deeper secret, he will still save you, but after saving you, in order to be able to live forever without hindsight, he has to be the smart person I call... Master Xia Hou, you bet Xia Jiang will surely lose, because your chips will only leave him with his trust in you, and now this trust is long gone...”

“You... you...” Xie Yu's teeth were bitten, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes sparked. He wanted to jump at Mei Changsu. Next to him, there was another flying stream watching straw play. He could only breathe angrily. “Su Zhe, why should I resent you? Why are you forcing me to this point? ”

“What resentment... What revenge...” Mae Chang Su muttered again, laughing out loud, “Master Xie Hou, you and I, in the name of profit, each protect their Lord. Why don't you do whatever you have to do to achieve your purpose? Isn't it ridiculous to ask me that today? ”

Xie Yu fell and sat in the straw bush, pale and desperate. Mae Chang Su, like a cat playing with mice in front of her, but gently flirting with her paws makes her feel powerless.

Such a powerful man should not have let the prince give up him easily...

“Master Xie, while you still have a chance, change your bet. I don't have a clue in your hand. I don't care if you live.” Mae Chang-su crouched down in front of him and said softly, “At least there's a chance. ”

Xie Yu lowered his head, his whole body sweated dry and wet. It took him half a day to lower his voice: “What do you want me to do? ”

“Don't worry, I won't let you testify against Xia Jiang, I don't want to turn over another Xia Jiang case,” Mae Chang Su's throat sounded softly, “you and I both know that Xia Jiang did everything in accordance with the sacred will, but... he just used some means that the Emperor didn't even know to achieve his purpose. Am I right? ”

Xie Yu looked at her and nodded slowly.

“His Majesty's sacred heart is unpredictable and suspicious. He hid his means back then, and now Xia Jiang wants to keep them hidden, but that is all.” Mae Chang Su faintly said, "After all, this has not much to do with what I'm working on right now, and I don't mean to get in trouble. But His Royal Highness Yu Wang was worried that Xia Jiangbao would do it for the Prince, and that he would break the routine of the suspense mirror department over the years to participate in the party dispute, so I had to come and ask. Master Xie Hou, please give me a brief account of Li Zhongxin. As long as I can confirm that this has nothing to do with the current party dispute, I will not use it as an article. Because we all know that the Pendant Division is not so good. After all, it is often secretive. If it touches His Majesty's pain, how can it be good? ”

Xie Yu took a deep look at him: “I told you, what's in it for me? ”

“I can't give you much, but please let Yu Wang go, let Xia Jiang rescue you from prison, and then keep you safe in exile, just live as your outlaw. ”

Xie Yu closed his eyes and seemed to think intensely in his brain. He wasn't worried about the wind wave that Yu Wang would take after he told Li Zhongxin's secret. Because of the matter behind this secret, Yu Wang himself was one of the benefit recipients, but he was not mature enough to participate more deeply. When it comes to promoting things such as falling stones, the Queen and he did not do much. As long as Mae Chang Su went back to tell him, he would immediately understand that he would come here, and he would never take this with Xia Jiang in pain. And what Xia Jiang prevented was just not wanting the whole thing to be spread out, or some of the details he had hidden from the Emperor.

But if he did, would this Jiang Zuo Mei Lang really fulfill his promise?

“It's a gamble,” Mae Chang-su said as if he knew what he was thinking again, "there's nowhere else to bet. I'm a man of the river and the lake, and I know how to keep you alive. You have no choice but to trust my word. ”

Xie Yu seemed to have been completely crushed and his whole body leaned forwards helplessly, relying on his hands to sit on the ground. He finally opened his dry, cracked lips after a period of total silence of about a fragrance.

“Li Zhongxin... is indeed just a teacher, but he has a strange talent, which is to imitate any word he has read, no one can tell if it is true or false. Thirteen years ago... he wrote a letter for Xia Jiang, imitating Nie Feng's handwriting...”

“Who's Nie Feng?” Mae Chang-su asked intently.

“He was the forerunner of the Red Flame Army at the time and the husband and son-in-law of Summer Winter, so Xia Jiang had a lot of opportunities to get the draft of the book he wrote, and cut some words from it to Li Zhuo Zhong, so that he could write a letter that could not be separated from Summer Winter...”

“What does the letter say? ”

“It is a letter of request for help, which says' The Commander has a desire to rebel, I see, in order to extinguish the mouth, drive me to the place of death, to look for help. ’ ”

“I seem to know that this letter is a lie.” May Chang Su smiled coldly, "so... you rushed all the way to save Nie Feng. Finally, because you were late, you could only bring back his body bones, is it fake? ”

Xie Yu kept his mouth shut.

“According to the legendary story I heard, General Xie, you went a long way to save colleagues, to reach the ghost valley where Nie Feng is located, but there are reports that there are no friendly military students in the valley, only the enemy barbarians are about to rush out, so when you stop the plane, the logging set fire to seal the valley mouth, which prevented the barbarians and protected the left wing defensive line of my bridge. This story is a real tribute to the news.” Mae Chang Su stabbed, “Today you want to come, you are actually Nie Feng's retreat, to let this forward general who was not in the dead, because you fell into the dead, causing the ultimate tragedy. Am I right? ”

Xie Yu's lips were in a straight line and still didn't answer his words.

“Forget it, these are all past events, it's useless to find out.” Mae Chang Su caught his eye, Cold Lane, “what next? ”

“Only me and Xia Jiang knew that the letter was fake, he had his purpose, I had mine, we didn't say anything, but we didn't say anything. Because he didn't want his apprentices to notice anything different, he didn't use the power of the Suspension Division, just hinted at me, and I killed Li Zhongxin's family for him.” Xie Yu's words were flat and didn't seem to be well deserved, "the whole thing was like that. It has nothing to do with the current party. Are you satisfied? ”

“So this is how the Royal Pillar Stone laid the foundation.” Mae Chang Su nodded and squeezed his hands tightly in his sleeve, still calm on his face. Xie Yu said, of course, it was only the tip of the hidden iceberg of the year, but pushing too much, counterproductive, this short dialogue can already achieve the purpose of coming here today, and then the road should still be slowly and carefully, steadily walking step by step.

As for Xie Yu's whereabouts, others worry about him. Sometimes death isn't necessarily the worst kind of ending.

“Hello. Rest in peace. Xia Jiang will not know that I have come to see you today, and His Royal Highness Yu is not interested in the old things of that year. I'll keep my promise not to let you die, but I don't care if you can't survive exile hard labour on your own.” Mae Chang Su faintly said this last sentence, then he stopped looking at Xie Yu and turned away from his cell. The flying stream hurriedly threw the straw in his hand that was knitting and playing, following him.

On his return to the stone staircase leading to the ground floor, Mae Changsu accidentally glanced into the black room next to Xie Yu, but his footsteps did not stagnate at all and quickly disappeared into the exit of the stone staircase.

A moment after his departure, the black door was silently pushed open, and the two men came out one after the other, walking very slowly, and their footsteps were slightly unstable.

The person in front had a long figure, black dress, silver silk between the hair was eye-catching, and the handsome face had no bloodstain. It was as white as a piece of paper. Just a small stone in the dark corridor, it made her fall. Fortunately, she was held by the person behind her.

The two men went out of the darkness without a word of conversation, even the support just pulled a hand and immediately retracted, silent. They also walked along the stone staircase just taken by Mae Changsu, slowly reaching the first floor, the only difference is that the person waiting outside the door to lead them out is not talking about the punishment, but has been officially promoted to Cai Xuan of the Ministry of Penal Affairs.

“Please, Lord Tsai. ”

“Your Royal Highness, you are welcome. ”

Just these two sentences of conversation, and then there will be no more condoms. A pedestrian escaped from the secret rear door of the heavenly prison, and in the summer and winter he did not return and quickly walked away. He never moved his lips. Behind her, King Yang stared silently at the shadow of her lonely departure, but the blazing flames burned darkly in her eyes.

Notice: I plan to spend a few days starting tomorrow, re-rolling, chapter titling, so updating tips can be a bit confusing and inclusive.
