Chapter 254 Underground Game
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Cheng Nianying looked at Jiang Shenyuan and said.
Fu Yixian smiled: "I believe Ah Ying."
The emperor laughed angrily: "Of course you believe her. Now you are only tied to her by a straw."
"Xiaoying, don't be stubborn. You have to be able to distinguish between relatives and strangers!" The emperor still did not give up.
Cheng Nianying's mouth felt dry and she curled up her hands unconsciously, but her face remained motionless.
She still ignored the emperor and stared at Jiang Shenyuan: "Do you want the emperor to open this prison cell?"
What does this mean?
Jiang Shenyuan met her eyes.
"Jiang Shenyuan." The emperor called again.
Cheng Nianying tilted her head and met Jiang Shenyuan's gaze: "If you're in such a hurry to get out, why did you chase me in?"
Jiang Shenyuan lowered his head and laughed, then raised his head again with a grim expression: "So that's what you meant."
It would be safest for him to attack the emperor only here.
Once he got out, it would be considered regicide in public.
"Jiang Shenyuan!" The emperor's voice changed to a stern shout.
After just one hour, the emperor's throat was almost broken from shouting.
"Let me think about it." Jiang Shenyuan narrowed his eyes and looked in Fu Yi's direction.
But how could one see any worry on Fu Yi's face?
Cheng Nianying didn't say anything, just waited patiently.
Among the few people, only the emperor who was confident of victory just now was in the most torment.
As expected, the only one he could trust was Prince Liang. The emperor closed his eyes. Prince Liang's offspring was ultimately a cold-hearted person!
The emperor really hoped there was paper and pen here so he could leave a letter for King Liang, letting him know that his only daughter was already deeply in love with Fu Yi. She should have married someone else and had children long ago!
After a while, Jiang Shenyuan exhaled: "Gambling with your life is really not an easy thing."
Fu Yi heard this and chuckled from behind.
Jiang Shenyuan was unhappy, but suddenly his mind cleared up again. That's right. Gambling with one's life isn't an easy thing to do.
He was unwilling to gamble easily, so how could Cheng Nianying and Fu Yi be willing to gamble?
Thinking about what Cheng Nianying had asked Fu Yi just now, how many people were inside and outside the hall, it seemed like he was already planning whether he could quickly control the situation after going out.
Jiang Shenyuan turned his head away and murmured, "A token of allegiance..."
Before he could finish his words, he took a big stride and passed by the two killers.
Then he started throwing the knife.
"Stop him!" the emperor shouted, reaching out to pull out the killer's knife, but it was too late.
The knife cut into the emperor's chest.
The emperor staggered back and fell to the ground, but he struggled to look up at Cheng Nianying.
He stared at her intently, trying to imprint that hateful, resentful, and cold look into Cheng Nianying's mind.
Wanting her to never forget it, she watched her grandfather die in front of her.
"Traitor... thief... thief..." The emperor uttered the words with difficulty, but no matter how hard he stared, he could not penetrate Fu Yi's sleeves.
Fu Yi slowly lowered his hand, half of his sleeve was stained with blood.
Only then did Cheng Nianying's hidden face appear.
Jiang Shenyuan turned back, took in their actions, and said, "Cheng Nianying, I never thought you could be so cruel."
"Open it," he said.
The two killers were still standing there in a daze.
Cheng Nianying looked at them and said, "After we get out, the two of them..."
Jiang Shenyuan couldn't help but shrug and laugh, "The emperor is far away, and Your Majesty has made this mistake more than once. If he is separated from me by a few more floors, the people below won't recognize me. After all, I am the master of Shaoqu Tower."
Cheng Nianying: "Oh."
Jiang Shenyuan looked at her suspiciously: "What you just said, are you trying to deliberately provoke me to fight with him and the other two?"
"No." Cheng Nianying denied calmly.
Jiang Shenyuan walked towards her and said, "I'll go ahead when we open up this world."
Cheng Nianying: "Okay."
She agreed too readily, and Jiang Shenyuan hesitated again.
"No, I'm afraid you're deliberately trying to trick me again. Just now, Prince Danshuo said that Wu Xun and Fu Ruiming were guarding outside... If I were the first to poke my head out, they'd draw their swords. What should I do?"
Cheng Nianying asked him, "What do you think?"
Before Jiang Shenyuan could speak, Fu Yi laughed again.
Jiang Shenyuan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily. He felt that every laugh of Fu Yi was a mockery of his words.
"I still prefer the tone of your voice when you spoke to me at the Hanging Temple." Jiang Shenyuan looked at Cheng Nianying and said.
Cheng Nianying turned her head away and rolled her eyes.
"Commander Jiang, there's no need to be so hesitant. Let two of your men walk, one in front and one in the back. Maybe that will put you at ease?" Fu Yi interrupted.
Jiang Shenyuan let out a dark smile: "Not enough. ... The prince can walk behind me, I will follow Cheng Nianying."
Fu Yi also agreed immediately: "Okay."
It was just as refreshing as Cheng Nianying's just now.
Jiang Shenyuan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't tell for a moment whether Fu Yi had corrupted Cheng Nianying, or whether the two of them were originally alike and now had an even stronger tacit understanding.
"Okay, let's arrange them in this order." Jiang Shenyuan said.
Fu Yi was the first to respond: "Yeah."
Then he walked towards the two killers fearlessly.
The two assassins were about to move, but Jiang Shenyuan stopped them: "Alright, let's talk about it after we get out."
When it opens...it won't be too late to take action.
It's just a matter of kicking him back into the ground.
Cheng Nianying said nothing, holding up a fire starter to illuminate the stone wall, and her slender white fingers rubbed and searched on the rough stone wall.
It was extremely quiet underground, so quiet that for a moment the only sound they could hear was each other's breathing, and the last remaining broken sound from the old emperor's throat like a bellows.
The sound added a touch of creepiness to the dim environment.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Jiang Shenyuan's expression froze slightly. "Didn't you say you knew how to get out? You're not lying to me, are you?"
After hearing this, the damned emperor even managed to utter a vague smile: "Serves you right, serves you right. I can't get out... Only I, I know..."
Cheng Nianying was calm and held out her hand: "Do you have any tinder on you? Give them all to me. It's too dark to see clearly."
Jiang Shenyuan's expression had completely darkened.
But Cheng Nianying was still calm, and Fu Yi was even more calm...
"Bring me the tinder." He extended his hand to the other two killers.
After a while, Cheng Nianying took away all the fire sticks. At first, he only lit two of them, and then he lit all five at once.
Sweat slowly flowed down their temples.
"master!"
"Master!!!" Wu Xun lay prostrate on the floor of the bedroom, slapping the ground with red eyes.
In comparison, Fu Ruiming was more organized. He began to explore whether there were any other mechanisms in the hall.
For example, the pearl necklace that the emperor began to hold tightly.
Or even a crack in the ground...
"I can't open it! I can't open it!" Wu Xun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"What should we do, Lord Fu?" Wu Xun looked up.
At this moment, someone hurried in from outside the hall, his face pale: "Where is the prince?"
Fu Ruiming's icy face is still used to reassure people for the time being.
He stepped forward to stop him and said, "Don't be anxious, Your Highness."
"Without the prince, I can't stop my elder brother!" The person who spoke was still young and spoke in panic.
"It's not up to Your Highness to block it. How can Your Highness, with his flesh and blood, block it? We have the Infantry General and the Palace Guards blocking it from outside."
The prince was still panicked after hearing this: "Yes, yes, then I will go and report to my mother first."
"It's better not to go. The palace is not under complete control. What if Your Highness is accidentally captured on the way?" Fu Ruiming stopped him.
"Yes, yes, what about the prince?"
After he asked, he found that no one answered him for a while.
He stood aside and watched silently for a while, and finally confirmed that his father and Prince Danshuo had fallen into the ground together.
"Can it still be gotten out?" His face turned even paler.
Fu Ruiming suppressed his annoyance and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness."
"Didn't the prince have a thorough plan? Didn't the prince... anticipate that there was a hidden agenda?"
When Fu Ruiming heard this, he felt even more annoyed. He turned around and gave a cold look, holding his breath and lowering his head to continue looking for flaws.
Don't be anxious, don't panic.
The people the master uses are all trustworthy, one link after another...
But even though he thought so, he still couldn't help but punch the ground hard, not caring that his palm was bleeding.
"Brother..."
…
"Haven't you found it yet?" Jiang Shenyuan paused. "Are you really not lying to me?"
"Found it." Cheng Nianying said softly, and pressed the fire starter in her hand against the stone wall, and the flames went out.
Everyone found it difficult to adapt to the sudden change from light to complete darkness.
Only then did Cheng Nianying open his eyes, grab the knife, and kick the man, all in one go.
A killer is at the forefront.
A killer is at the back.
Arranged in sequence, with clear directions.
