Chapter 34 His Heart is Deserved to Be Punished
Wei Zixing's eyes became extremely firm and terrifying, as if containing endless hatred and resentment.
Lin Pianran's words woke up the dozing lion.
As long as Wei Zixing moves forward bravely and stands tall in the clouds, all the clowns will be powerless to resist.
Lin Pianran then asked, "Who trapped you here? Can you tell me? I want to know. I want to have a better idea."
"If we encounter it in the future, we will be able to deal with it better!"
Wei Zixing thought about it and realized that it was true. Once King Chang knew what the little girl had done, he would definitely not let her go.
It’s better to let her know everything as early as possible so that she can be mentally prepared and not be caught off guard in the future.
Wei Zixing pondered for a moment before saying, "It was Prince Chang. He had already placed people by my side long ago."
"A month ago, on my way back to Beijing, he had his men drug me, then disguised himself as bandits and set up an ambush, attacking my personal guards and secret guards, causing countless casualties..."
"Ever since they caught me, I've been moved to several hiding places. Finally, they sent me here half a month ago."
"Some of my lieutenant and personal guards were also captured by them. I heard from the old man who delivered the food that four of them were imprisoned in the cave next door."
"The old man who delivers food usually comes to give us some leftovers in the middle of the night."
"Sometimes they only come once every two or three days. I guess they're afraid of being spotted during the day when there are too many people around!"
"In order to prevent us from exchanging information, we were all detained separately. They were even severely punished and injured very badly."
"Those are all heroes who have followed me through life and death for decades! They didn't die on the battlefield, but were harmed by these ambitious people. How ridiculous!..."
Having said that, Wei Zixing's face was filled with grief, and two lines of tears slid down his skinny cheeks.
As Lin Pianran guessed, it was the princes who did it.
They must want to weaken the powerful backing of Crown Prince Huo Yuchen and disintegrate the power of the Crown Prince's lineage, so that they will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Empress.
Although Prince Chang's mother, Concubine Li Guifei, has been favored for many years, her family's influence is somewhat weak.
However, in recent years, with the indulgence and support of Emperor Wu of Qin, although the Li family had no achievements for the country and the court, two people in the family were granted the title of marquis.
Although this matter was often criticized by court officials, it was of no avail.
Being granted a title of nobility without any merit also shows the support that Emperor Wu of Qin had for the Li family.
It can also be seen that Emperor Wu of Qin wanted the Li and Wei families to compete with each other.
Perhaps, this is the real reason why King Chang was so bold and reckless as to take such ruthless action against General Wei Zixing.
These were the roots of evil planted by Emperor Wu of Qin, and were also the evil consequences caused by his abuse of power and indulgence.
At this moment, Wei Zixing raised his tearful face and asked, "I don't know your name yet, could you tell me?"
Lin Pianran smiled sweetly, "My name is Lin Pianran, and I'm the adopted daughter of Su Qingfeng, the eldest lady of the Lin family. You can call me Pianpian from now on! I will definitely be able to rescue you, please believe me..."
That look was so resolute that it made people believe it.
At this time, Wei Zixing said a little embarrassedly, "Although it may be a bit shameless to say this, if you can help me save the other brothers, if I can escape from the cage one day, I will definitely repay you!"
"Even if it means working like a slave, I won't hesitate!"
"They all made great contributions to the Great Qin Dynasty. They shouldn't be trapped here with me, only to be turned into a pile of dry bones, carelessly discarded and despised..."
Lin Pianran had only seen this corpse in her previous life and thought that there was only one person trapped in the cave, but she didn't expect that there were other people imprisoned here.
She agreed without hesitation, saying, "I'll go see them!"
He ran away like the wind.
The entire cave is very large and is composed of several small caves.
Lin Pianran searched for a long time before finally finding a deputy general in a small cave.
Three more guards were found in the cave next to his.
They were all severely injured. In addition to the wounds caused by knives and swords, they also had scars from being tortured, such as branding and whipping...
The wounds were only treated simply, and they were red and swollen, which looked shocking and heartbreaking.
The four of them were tied up tightly with thick ropes and were completely unable to move.
They were all skinny, sloppy-looking, and looked very weak.
When they saw the pretty Lin Pianran, they were curious, looked at her closely, and there was endless vigilance in their eyes.
Lin Pianran smiled gently, like a blooming flower, dissolving all the awkwardness and strangeness.
She explained softly, "I saw your general Wei Zixing over there. He asked me to come and rescue you..."
The vigilance of several people dropped a lot in an instant, but they still did not completely believe her words.
Lin Pianran stepped forward and soothed, "Let me untie all the ropes on you first!"
After saying this, he walked forward without saying anything and cut all the ropes that bound them with a dagger.
Then he took out a lot of food and spiritual spring water and distributed them to everyone.
They were also given some medicine so that they could simply bandage their wounds.
At this moment, everyone relaxed their guard against Lin Pianran.
They stuffed the food into their mouths ravenously, they must have been hungry for a long time.
Lin Pianran was also extremely depressed when she saw this situation.
King Chang is so hateful!
For his own selfish reasons, he actually did such a bad thing.
These are all heroes on the battlefield!
His heart is despicable and extremely hateful!
After eating, the physical conditions of several people improved a little, and they also had some strength. They couldn't wait to urge Lin Pianran, "Girl, take us to see the general! How is he? Has he been tortured? He must have suffered a lot, right?..."
Lin Pianran led the way in front, and several people supported each other and followed behind staggeringly, but their faces showed a glow of happiness and hope.
Lin Pianran couldn't help but be moved by their deep friendship.
They themselves were in difficult situations, but once they escaped, they were concerned about their commander and their mission.
This loyalty and innocence are admirable.
When they arrived at the cave where Wei Zixing was, they saw Wei Zixing trapped by iron chains and couldn't help but burst into tears.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.
Watching these upright men hugging each other and crying in pain.
Lin Pianran also felt very uncomfortable in her heart, as if someone had cut out a large piece of her body, and it was painful.
She stood silently by, guarding them.
