The sixth day of the twelfth month, the hour of Hai.
Laifeng Kingdom, Dali Temple, Tianlao.
"Who is coming?"
Suddenly, a man wearing black clothes and a black hooded cloak, with only a pair of eyes exposed, came from the front. The two jailers in charge of guarding the sky prison hurriedly drew their swords and stopped him.
Upon hearing this, Guo Dongbing took out a badge from his pocket and showed it to the jailer guarding the gate.
"Nine thousand years old!"
Although the lights in the prison were dim, the jailer quickly recognized the identity of the person.
Seeing that it was the chief eunuch of the emperor, the two men put away their swords and reported the matter to the warden. Upon hearing the news, the warden straightened his hat and hurried over.
Guo Dongbing raised his orchid finger slightly, and when he glanced at the jailer with a sharp gaze, he said leisurely, "I have been ordered by the emperor to interrogate the prisoner. Why don't you open the door quickly!"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the warden took out a key from the bunches of keys hanging around his waist and opened the door of the prison.
"Where is the Taoist priest captured by Xiangyang Temple being held now?" Guo Dongbing glanced at the warden and asked indifferently.
"Reporting to His Majesty, Wang Zhenyi is imprisoned in the innermost cell." The prison warden reported respectfully.
"Um."
After entering, Guo Dongbing walked straight to the cell that the warden mentioned.
"Open."
"Yes, nine thousand years old."
With the sound of "clang clang" of iron chains, the door of the prison where the serious criminals of the court were imprisoned was opened.
"I am going to start interrogating the prisoner now. This case is of great importance. Anyone who spy on the court secrets will be killed without mercy! You have nothing to do here, so get out." Guo Dongbing glanced at the prison warden coldly, and the other party immediately responded with "yes" repeatedly, bowed and walked away.
"Old Guo, I thought you were going to leave me to die without any help..."
Wang Zhenyi, wearing a white prison uniform and with his hands and feet chained, made a clanging sound as he walked. Seeing Guo Dongbing approaching, Wang Zhenyi snorted coldly and then walked towards him with a haughty look on his face.
"Wang Zhenyi, you old bastard! I heard the Dali Temple Minister personally interrogated you. How much did you… confess?"
Guo Dongbing took off the hood of his cloak, revealing an expressionless face. But his eyes narrowed dangerously, and his gaze towards Wang Zhenyi was full of scrutiny.
The previous incident in the dense forest at the border between the east and central parts of the city, where over thirty children were nearly murdered, was Guo Dongbing's doing. Desperate for his "jade penis rebirth," he went to great lengths, even secretly mobilizing his forces to kidnap young girls and boys, all in the hope of quickly refining a hundred anti-aging pills.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Even though Guo Dongbing tried so hard, he didn't even have time to refine a golden elixir for youth before all the children were rescued by the princess's people.
Later, seeing it difficult to strike around the capital, Guo Dongbing turned his attention to the remoter regions. However, before he could even be transported to the capital as a child, the abbot of Xiangyang Temple, Wang Zhenyi, was exposed for killing children, using young girls and boys to make elixirs and water the red rose fields. Even Wang Zhenyi himself was captured by the princess and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Upon hearing the news, Guo Dongbing was furious. He felt that this young lady, who had returned from the palace, was indeed incompatible with him and was incompatible with him in every way. If it weren't for her ability to make people ecstasy, killing her would be a pity. Otherwise, Guo Dongbing really wanted to cut Nalan Qingcheng into pieces...
"Old Guo, up to now... I haven't confessed anything. But... if they continue to torture me, then it will be hard to say. You'd better find a way to rescue me as soon as possible!" Wang Zhenyi curled his lips slightly, thinking that he could control Guo Dongbing in this way, and he was fearless.
"Wang Zhenyi, we've been friends for decades after all. How could I really just sit back and watch you? Otherwise, why would I go to all this trouble to come see you?"
Guo Dongbing softened his tone slightly. No matter what, before achieving his goal, he had to stabilize the person in front of him first.
"Hmph! That's better!" Wang Zhenyi came to the straw mat in the prison and sat down.
Not only was he now imprisoned, but his offspring had been destroyed by that abominable princess. Even if he ascended the throne of Imperial Master, without the power to wield women and without children, what meaning would such wealth and glory hold? Wang Zhenyi's greatest motivation for survival was revenge...
"Old bastard, I've thought about it. I'm afraid Laifeng Country... can't tolerate you!"
Guo Dongbing's narrow, long, phoenix-like eyes glanced at Wang Zhenyi leisurely from beneath his slanted eyebrows, and he continued, "In my opinion, the best solution is to send you to Zhaoyang Country..."
"Zhaoyang Kingdom?"
Wang Zhenyi was slightly surprised when he heard this, but then nodded in understanding. If he could escape, Zhaoyang Country seemed like a good place to go. After all, he had some friendship with the Zhaoyang Country's Imperial Master. He even learned the recipe for refining the Rejuvenating Golden Elixir from Ran Qiyue. They had a friendly cooperation...
"That's fine. But I wonder if Nine Thousand Years Old has any way to rescue me?"
Wang Zhenyi, who thought he had something on Guo Dongbing, was certain that Guo Dongbing would find a way to rescue him in order to protect himself.
"The Heavenly Prison is where serious criminals are detained. It is heavily guarded. This matter... I still need to plan it carefully." Guo Dongbing twisted a strand of hair that fell on his shoulder. His movements were gentle and slow, and his words were also unhurried.
Wang Zhenyi felt a little relieved upon hearing this. After all, the Heavenly Prison was a very important place. If the other party said that they could easily rescue him, it would be hard to believe...
