Chapter 108: Dark Prison

"Manman, there are some in the dark cell... Don't be afraid." Xie Hui put a cloak on Shen Yuan.

Although there were only two people in the cell, it was dark and dilapidated, and people would feel uncomfortable if they entered. Moreover, a place that had not seen the sun for a long time would be much colder than the outside.

"It's okay. I'm brave." Shen Yuan didn't have time to think about anything else but the excitement of being able to interrogate a prisoner in this way.

"Dad, I'm going."

"Go ahead, Dad is waiting for you outside."

Shen Yun smiled and touched his daughter's head, then nodded in response.

For today's interrogation, the emperor only allowed Xie Hui and Shen Yuan to go in, but asked Shen Yun to wait in the Dali Temple. He was really worried, so he came along as well.

The secret cell was indeed a secret cell. After entering, I had no idea how many stairs I had to walk down before I reached the bottom.

There were torches lit on both walls along the way. When they reached the bottom, two shadow guards sent by the emperor earlier were waiting for them.

Shen Yuan looked at him in the light of the torch and found that it was a familiar face.

"Brother Shadow Guard, we meet again."

Dark Night Shadow: ...

Dark Night Shadow led the way with torches in hand. The cell was indeed eerie. Apart from the two torches in front, there was no light at all. Apart from the footsteps of a few people, there was no other sound.

But Shen Yuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to the environment here. She glanced at the two shadow guards in front of her and asked Xie Hui in a low voice: "Brother Youqi, the shadow guards can't talk?"

To the shadow guards with strong internal strength, Shen Yuan's voice sounded like someone was talking next to them while holding their ears.

"They can talk, but they are used to it. They can't talk when they are on duty."

"When they are on duty...they have shifts, how long is each shift, do they have days off? How much is their salary?"

"…I think there is some time off, right? I don't know about the salary."

Xie Hui spoke hesitantly, he really didn't know much about the Shadow Guards. Shadow Guards should be the most mysterious department. They only obey the emperor and are only responsible for protecting the emperor. They don't show up in public on a daily basis.

The two people in front did not change their expressions when they heard Shen Yuan and Xie Hui's discussion. Shen Yuan observed carefully and found that even the length of their walking steps and the way they held the torches were the same.

"arrive."

I don't know how long I walked when I said this, but the two shadow guards in front of me stopped in front of a house. There were two people standing outside the house, and I didn't know if they were also shadow guards. When they saw someone coming, they turned around and opened the door.

"Are you ready?"

Shen Yuan didn't say anything, but nodded firmly.

"Then let's go in."

The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only two chairs and a table. It can be seen that the table and the stool do not seem to belong to the secret cell, and they must have been temporarily moved in from outside.

There were two racks against the wall, and two prisoners were locked on the racks. At this time, they had their heads down and their faces could not be seen clearly.

I don’t know if they were specially cleaned up, but they were wearing clean prison uniforms and didn’t look like they had been detained for a long time.

Someone came in, and the two men didn't move. Two shadow guards followed in, and Xie Hui knew that they were trying to wake up the prisoner.

Xie Hui held Shen Yuan's shoulders and turned her around, while covering her ears with his hands.

"Wait a moment."

When the Shadow Guard wakes up the prisoner, he certainly won't speak softly.

Shen Yuan knew that Xie Hui was afraid that she was scared. Feeling the warmth coming from her ears, Shen Yuan obediently did not move. Xie Hui's large palm blocked most of the sound for her. She only heard two small groans.

After the shadow guard woke up the prisoner, he retreated and closed the door. This was also the emperor's order according to Xie Hui's wishes, and no one else was allowed to be in the room.

The two spies had experienced inhuman interrogation methods for a long time and had long been numb. When they saw two more people coming in, they did not show any big reaction.

[I have never heard of Dazhao's beauty trap before. Now I can die without regret.]

After this sentence appeared in Shen Yuan's mind, Shen Yuan nodded to Xie Hui and said, "Start asking."

"Who sent you?"

The two of them remained silent as before. Having experienced all kinds of tricks before, they didn't take this kind of painless question seriously at all.

However, they didn't know that all their thoughts had been exposed.

[Is Da Zhao really going to die? He found a fool to play with here, and brought a girl with him. Your Majesty is right. Da Zhao has been happy for so many years. It's time to return what we lost. ]

Shen Yuan tapped the table lightly, indicating that Xie Hui could ask the next question.

"What is the purpose of the marmoset sending you here?"

[Da Zhao is as stupid as a marmoset. He actually believed that we are marmosets.]

"The Great Zhao is a powerful nation. The marmosets will not be a match for the Great Zhao."

[The marmosets are of course no match for Dazhao, but if you add the Tuhun to the west, you will be overwhelmed. With these two idiots, it will be much easier for us, the Kingdom of Brahma, to deal with them later, hahahahahaha!!]

After Shen Yuan tapped the desktop again, Xie Hui asked the last question they had prepared in advance.

"What exactly do you want to do? To gather information? To assassinate the emperor?"

[Why would you bother to assassinate the emperor? There are many dignitaries on the street. Just killing two of them would be enough for you to send out the marmosets.]

After Xie Hui asked, he looked at Shen Yuan, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.

The two of them immediately stood up and walked to the door. Shen Yuan handed the paper she had just written to Xie Hui. Xie Hui nodded gently at her, indicating that she could pass out.

Afterwards, Shen Yuan found a suitable posture and "dizzied" in Xie Hui's arms.

This was also agreed upon beforehand, to do the whole thing. As for the two operatives, it was normal for the "hypnotized" people not to know what happened in between.

Before going out, Shen Yuan found a comfortable position in Xie Hui's arms and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Master Xie's hands are really steady!

Outside the secret prison, Deqing, who was beside Emperor Zhaoming, and Shen Yun were waiting for the two men to come out.

Seeing the two people, even though he knew his daughter was pretending to faint, Shen Yun panicked for a moment and hurriedly ran towards them. However, he hit the mark unexpectedly. In Deqing's eyes, this was a father worrying about his daughter.

Not until Xie Hui nodded did Shen Yun feel relieved, but he still had to act.

"Manman! What happened to Manman?"

Her father's words truly contained three parts of surprise, three parts of heartache, and four parts of anxiety.

Shen Yuan didn't know in the past that her father was quite capable.

"She was too tired and passed out. Don't worry, uncle."

Deqing stepped forward at the right time and said, "Sir Shen, the emperor has arranged for the imperial physician to be in Ziyun Palace. Let our uncle take Miss Shen there."

Shen Yun shook his head and reached out to Xie Hui, "Give Manman to me. I'll hold her."

Shen Yuan closed her eyes and went from Xie Hui's arms to her father's arms.

Afraid that she wasn't dizzy enough, Shen Yuan stayed up all night last night. Her father was old, but his hands were still steady, and after walking a few steps, Shen Yuan actually fell asleep.

The emperor was also waiting in Ziyun Palace at this time. When he saw Shen Yun coming in with his daughter in his arms, he felt a little embarrassed. His daughter was so good that she fainted from exhaustion while working for the royal family. He quickly indicated that there was no need to perform the formalities and asked Imperial Doctor Lin to go and treat her immediately.

After Shen Yun put his daughter down, he insisted on paying his respects to the emperor, which made the emperor feel even more guilty towards him.
