Chapter 152

This is indeed a dark prison.

Braziers were inlaid on the cold stone walls, and the dim fire was still burning, barely illuminating the surroundings.

On both sides of the narrow and long road are separated by stone chambers, with iron doors tightly sealed, and only a hole as big as a palm can look inside.

The smell in the dark prison is very bad, cold and humid, mixed with a strong smell of blood, and a slight rotten smell.

She walked in step by step, her steps were extremely light, and suddenly she heard a trembling sound of iron chains.

The sound came from the deepest part of the dark prison.

Xiao Lingyue walked over carefully and found that the deepest part was a punishment room.

The walls were hung with all kinds of hideous and cold torture instruments, covered with blood, and there were soldering irons, finger clips, iron needles and other things on the long table next to them.

The ground was covered in blood, cold and terrifying as if it were hell.

Xiao Lingyue's cold eyes swept around without any panic. Soon she looked at the wall diagonally opposite-

Someone was hung on it!

The sharp hook and iron chain penetrated through the pipa bones on both sides of his hands and feet. The palms and soles of his feet were penetrated by iron nails. He was covered in scars, his head was unkempt, and he hung his head motionlessly, as if he was dead.

Xiao Lingyue could see at a glance that this man was still alive.

Because the wound on his body was still bleeding, it flowed down his calves to the ground.

He is the only living person in the entire dark prison. Perhaps the dark prison is in a secret place and has many mechanisms, so there is no need to guard it.

Xiao Lingyue walked to the iron railing gate and whispered: "Are you from Nanyan?"

The other party didn't move, as if he didn't hear it.

Xiao Lingyue knew that he was still awake - because the breathing rate of truly unconscious people and awake people was different, she could hear it.

She said again: "I haven't seen you for many years, has Mrs. Wei's cough improved?"

Dangdang

The other party trembled slightly, and the iron chain made a slight trembling sound.

He slowly raised his head, and a bloody face appeared under his messy hair. His facial features could no longer be seen clearly. There were traces of iron burning on his cheeks. His flesh rolled, setting off his blood-filled eyes, like an evil ghost.

He stared at Xiao Lingyue motionlessly.

Xiao Lingyue covered her face and looked at him through an iron railing gate, her eyes extremely calm.

After a while, the other party spoke in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"

Xiao Lingyue thought for a while: "An old friend."

An old friend of Nanyan.

"How do you know that Wei has a cough?" The other party was having difficulty speaking.

The most famous military general family in the Southern Yan State, named Wei, was a descendant of the founding military general. He has inherited his titles for generations. His descendants, both men and women, all of them practice martial arts and join the army. The current head of the family, Duke of Wei, is the first military general in the Southern Yan, who has made many military achievements. For the Northern Qin State, his threat is second only to the Prince of Nanyan.

The Northern Qin Kingdom was very vigilant about the Wei family, and all the information of the descendants in the family was clearly checked.

But it does not include Mrs. Wei.

Because she was just an ordinary female family member in the backyard. Although she married Duke Wei as her wife, she was in Nanjing City in Nanyan all year round, just taking care of her husband and children, and never participating in major affairs in the court and even the country.

Therefore, the Northern Qin State did not know the situation of Mrs. Wei, but only knew that she was the wife of Duke Wei and knew nothing about other details.

Mrs. Wei suffered from cough disease, and only a few senior officials in Nanyan who were close to the Wei family knew about it. No matter how skilled the spies from the Northern Qin State were, it was difficult for them to investigate the affairs in the Wei family's inner courtyard.

This is just like it is difficult for spies from Nanyan Kingdom to investigate the backyard of the Yiwang Mansion. The Duke of Wei, like the Yiwang Mansion, is also a military important place in the Nanyan Kingdom, and is extremely vigilant.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyue was able to say this to show her identity indirectly.
