Just after dawn, Ji Yuan, who was lying on his side on the straw mat and covered with a slly and dirty cotton blanket, was awakened by the sound of the door opening.
The voice ca from the iron gate at the end of the corridor, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Soon, more than a dozen night watchn appeared in the field of vision of Ji Yuan and the officials of Yunzhou.
"Get up, I'll take you guys out to get so sun."
A copper Gong took out a key and unlocked the chain wrapped around the gate.
Ji Yuan was rudely dragged up by a quiet Gong and roughly pushed out of the cell.
This was the third day he had spent in the night watchman's dungeon. The dry straw mat and torn quilt had saved his life and prevented him from freezing to death in the cold dungeon.
However, he had been pampered since he was young, so when had he ever suffered like this?
In just two days, his hands and feet were covered in frostbites, his face was blue, his lips were bloodless, and his hair was unkempt.
In the past two days, he had been regretting taking on the role of the peace envoy.
Ji Yuan was knowledgeable and eloquent. These were all genuine talents, but he was a noble young master who lived in luxury and lacked a certain amount of social experience and Jianghu experience.
Having talent did not an that he could withstand pressure.
The encounter over the past two days, as well as the fear of the future, put him on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
The only hope he had was that he still had value. Xu Qi 'an would probably not kill him, but use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yunzhou.
It was this hope that kept him going.
It's good to bask in the sun. I'll freeze to death sooner or later if. continue to stay in the prison … Ji Yuan walked along the dark corridor in a daze, with more than 20 officials of Yunzhou following behind him.
After leaving the dungeon, the air was cold but clear. The sun was hanging in the sky, bringing a trace of warmth.
Ji Yuan stopped and raised his head, enjoying the feeling of the sun shining on his face.
Tong Gong, who was behind him, kicked him in the butt, causing him to fall to the ground.
Ji Yuan got up with difficulty and cast an angry and aggrieved look at the gong.
"What are you looking at? do you believe I'll dig out your eyes?"
The copper Gong held the handle of the knife with one hand, and there was no expression on his serious and rigid face.
"Aren't you very arrogant? you want the minister of rites, the Pri Minister of the court, and the Prince to co out of the city to welco you before you enter the city?
"Didn't you reprimand the Dukes in the throne room, suppressing all the officials until they couldn't raise their heads?
"Didn't you use a little trick to make the people of the capital doubt the prestige of the Xu ningyan banquet?
"You can continue to be arrogant."
Ji Yuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
In the future, when Yunzhou conquered the capital, he would personally destroy the night watchn's Yan. These night watchn who were friends with Xu Qi 'an would all be executed by a thousand cuts.
At this ti, a middle-aged man walked over and swept his eyes across the crowd.
The gongs tidied up their clothes and adjusted the position of the gongs in front of their chests. After confirming that everything was symtrical and there was no problem, they respectfully said, "
"Boss,"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and retracted his gaze in satisfaction. He did not look at Ji Yuan, who had unkempt hair and a dirty and wrinkled prison uniform.
"Let's go, don't delay the ti."
Depart? where to? Ji Yuan's heart trembled. He wanted to ask, but he felt that he was destined to not get an answer. Instead, he would be beaten up.
The silent Gong escorted Ji Yuan out and said casually, "
"Boss, ningyan invited us for a drink tonight."
The middle-aged man was silent for a mont.
"Brothel or Academy?"
"Hook up. He said he won't go to the Imperial Academy in the future." Tong Gong replied.
The middle-aged silver Gong was slightly pleased.
"A promise is worth a thousand taels of gold. He's always been a man of his word."
Li Yuchun knew that after Fu Xiang's death, Xu Qi 'an had promised not to go to the Imperial Academy.
Zhu guangxiao was silent for a mont before he added, "
"He said that he could invite all the courtesans of the Imperial Academy of Sciences to the brothel."
…….. Li Yuchun didn't feel like talking anymore.
After passing through the back of the Yan, they walked along the corridor, passed through many offices and courtyards, and finally arrived at the entrance of the Yan.
At the entrance of the Yan, there were prison carts.
Zhu guangxiao looked at Ji Yuan and said indifferently, "
"I'm going to bask in the sun."
Ji Yuan's expression turned stiff, and he was dumbfounded.
…………
A new notice was posted on the notice wall of the various Yan in the capital, as well as the notice wall at the inner and outer city gates.
Notices were an important channel for the people of the capital to obtain official information.
In the past, the common people would not pay special attention to the notice wall unless there was a major event recently.
At present, the most important matter in the capital was to negotiate peace.
"What did the notice say?"
As soon as the notice was put up, the surrounding commoners sward over, discussing, or asking the official who put up the notice.
Two hours before the notice was posted, there would be an official in charge of "announcing" the results and telling the people the contents.
After all, only a small portion of the common people were literate.
The reading threshold for these kinds of court notices was very high. Even literate people who had not received a certain level of education would not be able to understand the contents.
In the end, it would beco a situation where "I know every word, but I don't know what they an when they are connected."
it must be the content of the peace negotiations. The Imperial court has been defeated and Qingzhou has fallen. I heard that they want to cede land and seek peace.
a re Bandit state is actually so arrogant. Ever since the new king ascended the throne, the lives of the people have been getting worse and worse, and corrupt officials have run amuck.
"Shush, lower your voice, don't talk nonsense."
what are you afraid of? there aren't any soldiers around. Besides, everyone's scolding you.
As they spoke, the topic changed from "peace negotiations" to the fall of Qingzhou.
even Xu yinluo couldn't defend Qingzhou? he was the one who annihilated the witchcraft cult's 200000-strong Army at Yuyang pass.
