Brother Liu's expression grew serious. "Even so, we can't interrogate anyone here privately. If one of them escapes by mistake, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Bai Qingman said impatiently, "Well, send someone to ask Lord Chen if he will allow me to bring him to trial."
Brother Liu thought about it, nodded, and sent someone to ask.
Not long after, the man came back and said to Brother Liu, "Master Liu, the people in Lord Chen's courtyard said that the Lord was out for something. If Miss Bai has any requests, please satisfy her."
Brother Liu was silent for a while and then said, "I understand."
The lord has spoken, and he, a mere soldier, has no right to stop him.
So, Brother Liu sent someone to open the lock. The amazing thing was, once the lock was opened, the key disappeared, like a one-time use item that didn't need to be recycled...
Brother Liu took out a rope and threw it at Ji Xingzhi. Then the rope seemed to come alive and tied Ji Xingzhi up. Ji Xingzhi couldn't even dodge.
In fact, Ji Xingzhi did not hide. Jiang Huan said that this was a magic weapon and Ji Xingzhi could not hide it. Ji Xingzhi chose to believe Jiang Huan.
The lock was an accident. Ji Xingzhi was just trying to open it at that time, and then his body became a little strange, as if something was boiling in his blood. The feeling was strange and comfortable.
Then, the lock suddenly opened. Ji Xingzhi's hairpin had no effect at all. If there was any effect, it was probably that it made Jiang Huan think that she had really opened the lock with the hairpin...
Seeing Ji Xingzhi being taken away, Jiang Huan was a little uneasy. He finally had a companion who could chat with him and not be so bored. He didn't want to go back to the days of talking to himself...
Not only Jiang Huan, but all the people imprisoned in the prison were also nervous. They witnessed with their own eyes that Ji Xingzhi opened the lock that they had been unable to open for many years. How could they remain calm when the person who could help them escape from the dungeon was taken away like this!
However, they had no choice but to watch Ji Xingzhi being taken away by Bai Qingman.
Bai Qingman only felt that the dungeon had become even colder since she arrived... and eerie...
Ji Xingzhi followed for a while and tried to break free quietly, but failed.
So, I could only follow him obediently into a stone chamber and then be tied to a cross.
Bai Qingman sat on a chair, playing with a whip in her hand. She asked with a half-smile, "How does betrayal feel? How does it feel to be deceived? It's not pleasant, right?"
Ji Xingzhi looked at Bai Qingman calmly, without a trace of emotion on her face: "Everyone has their own choices, but there is no need for me to be sad about other people's choices."
Bai Qingman paused slightly, lowered her eyes, and after a long silence, she said something. Her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself: "Ji Xingzhi, I hate you. Do you know why?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingzhi was stunned. She really didn't know.
Bai Qingman smiled nonchalantly and said something that made Ji Xingzhi very confused: "You clearly said you would come back to find me, why didn't you come?"
Ji Xingzhi paused slightly and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She indeed did not go to look for Bai Qingman. At that time, she just asked the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle said that when she went to look for her, everyone in the yard had left.
Later, Ji Xingzhi wanted to go to Shuizhou, but due to various factors, she did not go, and Bai Qingman was forgotten by her as time went by.
