The prison of the Dakang Kingdom's Xuanjingshi is said to be the most terrifying place in the Dakang Kingdom. It is more terrifying than the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice. Only the most terrifying prisoners in the Dakang Dynasty will be imprisoned in the Xuanjingshi.

Lu Zheng was in the prison of Xuan Jingsi. The one who accompanied him was Lu Changhe, the first emperor of Xuan Jingsi. He walked through the long corridor, which was already a deep underground place.

The light outside could not shine in, so the only oil lamps around the corridor guided Lu Zheng and others. All Lu Zheng smelled the decayed breath and the dead air that penetrated into his bone marrow along the way.

Indeed, once any prisoner is locked up here, it means that his life will end. Who can get out of Xuan Jingsi's prison?

After walking a long way, Lu Changhe stopped in front of a prison. The person who came to the prison together was a mirror commander from the Xuanjingsi. Outside, the Xuanjingsi divided the Xuanjingsi into several supplements. The four departments in charge of the prison were named Zhang Lian.

Zhang Lian gave Lu Zheng the impression that he was tall and thin, with a haggard face, expressionless and serious smile! Lu Changhe did not introduce this person to Lu Zheng, so Lu Zheng and him just nodded, and the two didn't even have any talk.

Standing in front of the cell, Lu Changhe turned his head and looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Do you know why I brought you here at this time?"

Lu Zheng said: "Do you want me to take someone to Beiyan? I think those who can be locked up here are not ordinary characters, they must be extraordinary people!"

Lu Changhe laughed and said, "Yes, this person is indeed extraordinary. He used to be the number one enemy of our Dakang Dynasty. This person is clearly named Chu Tianba. Do you know this person?"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "He? He... is he still alive?"

Twenty years ago, when Dakang and Beiyan fought, the general Chu Tianba of Northern Yan blocked Dakang's 400,000 troops with one man. Both sides fought fiercely in Liaodong. Emperor Xinde had just ascended the throne and was personally led by the emperor and was beaten to pieces. This battle shocked the world and was regarded as a great humiliation by Dakang.

In Beiyan, Chu Tianba became the hero of Beiyan because of this battle and was named the Southern King. He was the first king of Beiyan in a hundred years. The Southern King commanded the world's troops. At that time, Chu Tianba was the number one general in the world.

Later, Chu Tianba and Emperor Xinde fought again, Emperor Xinde was killed, and Beiyan was defeated, and Dakang was able to be proud. In the mouths of the people of Beiyan, this time the defeat was because Chu Tianba was unwilling to let the people of the ten counties on the border be massacred. He knew he was defeated but he firmly resisted and finally sacrificed his life to his country. Therefore, Chu Tianba was a famous hero in Beiyan, and his status was the first person in nearly a hundred years.

Such a powerful person did not die, but was always in Dakang. Lu Zheng was extremely shocked and smelled the scent of conspiracy.

Lu Changhe was very satisfied with Lu Zheng's expression. He smiled faintly and said, "Never believe rumors, nor do you believe in history books! Chu Tianba has been living here for the past twenty years and has suffered a lot! He misses his hometown all the time. Now, the opportunity has come!

This time, Your Majesty is kind enough to let him return home, and you are the best candidate to take him back home!"

After Lu Changhe finished speaking, he raised his hand and the solid prison door made a crackling sound. The prison door opened, and a rotten stench made people disgusting. Lu Zheng subconsciously took a step back. Two prisoners entered the prison door with torches. After waiting for a long time, Lu Changhe took the lead in stepping into the door.

The prison was very narrow. Lu Zheng saw a man, who was dressed in rags, thin and haggard. He was holding such a figure in his hand but not a few taels.

Lu Zheng looked at his eyes for the first time. His eyes were dull, scattered, and unsightly. His expression was like the dying old beggar on the street.

From the person in front of him, Lu Zheng could not see the charm of the Southern King of Northern Yan, nor could he connect so many great events in the rumor with the person in front of him.

"Old friend, I've been missing for many years, so don't be fine!" Lu Changhe's voice was low, and he stared at the low old man with his eyes narrowed.

The other party cast a dull look at Lu Changhe, his expression did not change at all. After a long time, his Adam's apple squirmed slightly: "Are you here?"

The three words, the voice was hoarse and low, almost weak and inaudible. Lu Zheng couldn't help but move in the center of his ear. In these three words, Lu Zheng heard a metal friction sound, like a rusty sword being pulled out in an instant, and the smell could not be described in words.

Lu Zheng felt a little stern in his heart, and Lu Changhe had already laughed and said, "Old friend, you and I are old! The world will belong to young people in the future! Look at me, I am old, no longer the same as before!"

Lu Changhe pointed at Lu Zheng with his finger and said, "His name is Lu Zheng. My adopted son is the first top scholar to win three yuan in a row since the founding of Dakang. He is also the number one talented man in Dakang! This time, Your Majesty asked him to go to Beiyan, and it happened that the day for Your Majesty to pardon you has come. The journey to Beiyan is long, and I will send Buddha to the west. Lu Zheng will accompany you in this trip!

Don't worry, young people nowadays are very sensible and capable, and are better than us back then. They will definitely send you safely to Shangjing! Haha..."

Lu Changhe laughed loudly, laughing extremely happily. Chu Tianba moved his dull gaze and flew past Lu Zheng, his expression still remained unchanged. After a long time, he said with difficulty:

"Thank you, my friend Lu. In the blink of an eye, I have thanked my friend Lu for taking care of me over the years, and I have enjoyed so many years of happiness.

When I get old, I can get what I want if I want to return to my roots. Thank you!"

Lu Changhe nodded slightly, looked at Lu Zheng, and said, "Zheng'er, Lord Chu and his party will ask you! You meet and I will arrange everything else! Let's go, we won't delay Lord Chu saying goodbye to your old friends!

”

Lu Changhe took Lu Zheng out of the dim prison. Lu Zheng breathed a long sigh and said, "A person who can survive in such an environment for twenty years is so great! If I were locked up in such a place, I might die if I survived for three years!"

Lu Changhe said: "He must die too. You must never let him live to Shangjing. This is His Majesty's will! His existence is to give you help. I can only help you. There are so many difficulties here. You need to grasp everything yourself!"

Lu Zheng's heart was trembling, and Lu Changhe said: "In twenty years, the world has changed long ago. Great heroes should die. If all the great heroes are alive, how can other people be great? Beiyan can no longer tolerate a great national hero like Chu Tianba! Beiyan has not had the existence of the Southern King for twenty years, and everyone has become accustomed to it!

Now, do you think it is possible to let Beiyan establish a Southern King again and let the troops of the world return to the Southern King?"

Lu Zheng felt relieved in his heart. It was obvious that Emperor Xinde and Lu Changhe let Chu Tianba go. Their intention was to stir up the civil strife in Beiyan. With this in mind, he couldn't help but sank in his heart and blurted out:

"Your Majesty's intention is to use troops against Northern Yan?"

Lu Changhe shook his head and said, "The heart of heaven is unpredictable. How can we ministers guess the holy heart at will? However, Your Majesty has been ambitious since childhood and has long established the ambition to rule the world. And the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and Dakang and Beiyan will inevitably be unified..."

Lu Zheng's heart instantly burst into storm. He originally thought that this time the marriage was Emperor Xinde who was determined to reconcile with Beiyan. The two sides shook hands and made peace and no longer had any more weapons. In fact, it was not the same thing at all. The method used by Emperor Xinde was to call brothers on the surface and stabbing the knife in the back. This is typical of the emperor's mind.

Lu Zheng sighed that people's hearts were unpredictable, and that Emperor Xinde was cunning and insidious. Lu Zheng lived for two lifetimes and really sighed that he was not as good as him. This time during Lu Zheng's trip to Northern Yan, Long Lingxiu was the initiator, Lu Changhe followed the flow, and the person who followed the flow was actually Emperor Xinde!

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zheng suddenly complained that after this old Taoist priest let go, Dakang really changed the world! Either this old guy will never show his head and let Emperor Xinde be the good emperor for ten years, or this old guy will come back soon and let Dakang return to normal, so that he can slowly melt the sudden changes he may face through time!

"Enter the palace!" Lu Changhe said loudly, and the carriage drove onto the street and headed straight for the palace.

At this time, outside the Xiyuan, the envoys' team had already been at Godardan. Because this time the delegation took into account the important task of marriage, the team was extremely large.

It is naturally not too simple to marry a daughter in the Dakang Dynasty. Princess Qian'er's carriage alone has hundreds of cars, including silk, tea, porcelain, and furniture for dowry, truck after carriage, and maids, servants, reliance, and jewelry, which is dazzling.

This time, the deputy envoy was General Su Zhi of the Imperial Army of Dakang, which also conformed to the rules that Dakang had always been in line with Dakang. The envoys of Dakang were one chief and one deputy, and the civil servants and deputy military officers. According to the rules, the deputy envoys needed to follow the heads of the civil servants. In fact, the deputy envoys were the bodyguards of the chief officers.

Su Zhi was selected by King Qi to help Lu Zheng. In addition, Su Zhi is Su Qing's younger brother. The two were born with the same father and mother. Su Qing was Lu Zheng's teacher. With this relationship, Lu Zheng was relatively relieved to choose Su Zhi.

Su Zhi was supported by the Su family. This time, Emperor Xinde personally arranged the mission. The King of Qi supported him. Therefore, the mission was also very uniform. The guards of the mission were nearly 500, all of whom were well-equipped and brightly armored. Such an army could withstand even if they met the cavalry of Northern Yan. It has to be said that from a security perspective, not only Lu Zheng made up his mind, but Emperor Xinde also made up his mind.

However, Lu Zheng is not optimistic about the safety of this trip. Such a huge guard shows that this trip is extremely difficult! In such a complex environment, unless Lu Zheng leads an army of 100,000, how can he ensure safety even if he leads many people?
