Chapter 172: Can't Go Home
The four of them were dumbfounded and took a deep breath in unison.
Ling Qing even blinked his eyes, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he looked at Chen Ningyuan, "Miss Chen, your worry just now is unnecessary. Your father seems to be living quite well during his imprisonment here."
For a moment, Shen Ningyuan didn't know what to say.
As I walked along just now, tears welled up in my eyes because of fear.
After seeing the environment where his mother was imprisoned, he immediately took his thoughts back.
It can be said that as terrifying as the dungeon we just saw was, this place was as comfortable.
Although it was also a dungeon, Cui Jin's place not only had a soft and fragrant bed, but also a special toilet, and even a small stove in the corner...
It can be said that it has everything.
This is not a place to detain people, it is clearly a holy place for retirement.
At this time, Cui Jin was curled up in bed sleeping, and one could even hear her even snoring.
From this we can see how good Cui Jin's life is here.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Cui Jin asked vaguely without even opening his eyes: "What delicious food did you bring today?"
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Um.
Ling Qing is right.
Her and her brother's worries were indeed unnecessary.
Mother is here, and life is so good.
Seeing no response, Cui Jin thought she had misheard, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
Everyone: “…”
Seeing that Cui Jin was about to continue snoring, Shen Haobai shouted, "Mom, don't sleep, we are here to save...save you."
Cui Jin was startled and immediately sat up from the bed, looking towards the door with wide eyes.
After seeing clearly that it was the three siblings of Shen Ningyuan, Cui Jin burst into tears instantly, "Wuwuwuwu, you finally came to save me!"
She ran towards the three of them while crying and hugged Shen Ningyuan tightly.
"Yuan'er, I'm glad to see you. You don't know how hard my life has been during this period. I've lost several pounds!"
Shen Ningyuan looked at the baby fat on Cui Jin's chin and once again didn't know what to say.
However, seeing Cui Jin's crying getting louder and louder, Shen Ningyuan had to comfort her: "Mom, don't cry, we'll lead those people here later, and none of us will be able to escape!"
Cui Jin stopped crying, "Oh, you are right, I won't cry anymore."
"belch……"
While stopping crying, Cui Jin also took a break from crying.
Shen Ningyuan pulled Cui Jin inside, looked around, and asked curiously, "Mom, why is the dungeon where you are imprisoned different from the dungeon outside?"
"What's the difference?" Cui Jin asked subconsciously.
"That's right. The dungeon where the others were imprisoned was full of straw and dead rats, but the place where my mother was imprisoned was very..."
"Oh, you are talking about the environment. It's all bought with money." Cui Jin said directly.
"Bought it with money?"
As soon as the words fell, the four of them were shocked again and looked at Cui Jin in surprise.
Cui Jin nodded and pointed while saying, "For example, this bed cost one thousand taels to buy, this stove cost five hundred taels to build overnight, and this toilet was even more expensive, costing me three hundred taels, but there's nothing I can do, people have urgent needs..."
"And this..."
After Cui Jin finished speaking, the four of them were dumbfounded once again.
It turned out that he was locked up in a dungeon and tortured until his body was covered with bruises.
Cui Jin lives a fulfilling life in the dungeon relying on his absolute hard power.
Damn discrepancy...
Seeing that Cui Jin wanted to continue counting, Ling Qing immediately urged: “Madam Shen, if you have anything to say, let’s go out and talk first.”
Ling Qing looked outside the dungeon. "The person on duty is not here for now, but they will send someone over soon. There are only four of us. If we are outnumbered, we will be finished."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan quickly pulled Cui Jin away.
Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue followed closely behind, looking around vigilantly.
Just as Ling Qing said, this dungeon was indeed unguarded.
Perhaps the owner of the dungeon thought that this place was very secluded, so he did not send anyone to guard it.
Passing by the place where Xing Ming was imprisoned, Shen Haobai stopped and looked at the wounded Xing Ming hesitantly.
“General Shen, don’t waste your efforts. Even if you rescue me, he will still catch me back.”
"Master Xing, who exactly is he that you are talking about? Can he still attack you at the foot of Kyoto?" Shen Haobai asked through gritted teeth.
Xing Ming shook his head, "It's useless. Even if I escape and hide and live on my own, he will attack my family." Xing Ming smiled bitterly helplessly, "So, I might as well be locked up here. At least... at least I can protect my family."
Seeing Xing Ming like this, Shen Haobai felt very uncomfortable.
The two were quite familiar with each other. When Xing Ming disappeared before, he and his men had been looking for him for a long time.
But he never expected that he was locked up here.
Thinking of this, Shen Haobai gritted his teeth and asked coldly: “Who is that person!”
Xing Ming still shook his head, "Don't ask, I won't tell you."
"Master Xing, you..."
"General Shen, let's go quickly, it will be too late if we don't leave now!" Xing Ming urged in a low voice.
Seeing this, Shen Haobai had no choice but to give up.
"Master Xing, hold on, I will definitely come to rescue you."
"Well, go quickly." Xing Ming nodded weakly.
Shen Haobai glanced at Xing Ming again, and finally stopped hesitating and turned around and walked out of the dungeon.
Seeing Shen Haobai approaching, Shen Ningyuan suddenly asked, "Brother, who was the follower of that Lord Xing in the court just now?"
"Hmm?" Shen Haobai was stunned, "Sister, why are you asking this?"
"It's okay, I'm just asking out of curiosity."
"Master Xing never participates in factional disputes." Shen Haobai said truthfully: "Maybe it is because of this that he was retaliated against and imprisoned here?"
Shen Ningyuan frowned, “Brother, do you want to save Lord Xing?”
"Of course we have to rescue them." Shen Haobai nodded, "But with only a few of us, rescuing so many people will only alert the enemy. It's better to wait until the right time to rescue them."
As he said this, Shen Haobai looked at Cui Jin, "The most urgent thing now is to bring mother home safely."
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningyuan shook her head and refused, “Mom can’t go home now.”
Shen Haobai was startled, "Why?"
Before Shen Ningyuan could speak, Shen Haoyue reminded him, “Brother, don’t forget that you still have a mother at home.”
"I actually forgot about this." Shen Haobai suddenly realized, "Sister, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Ningyuan frowned and analyzed seriously: "If we take mother back now, I'm afraid it will alert the enemy. We have to find the right time and find a way to send mother back. As for the two fakes at home, we still have to make long-term plans..."
“Bang—”
Just as Shen Ningyuan was thinking, the sound of a chain shaking instantly interrupted her thoughts.
