Chapter 465: Dressed as a Slandered General (1)
After arriving in the new world, Ning Ning slowly opened his eyes. His head was very dizzy and the scene in front of him made him a little dazed for a moment.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a dark and damp cell.
The cell was filled with a sickening stench, like the smell of death.
The walls were made of rough stones, covered with mosses and black spots of varying shades. Some places were still seeping with water, which fell drop by drop, making a crisp and heart-pounding sound.
The ground under my feet was cold and muddy, mixed with what was probably blood or sewage. It felt sticky and slippery with every step I took.
There was some moldy straw piled up in the corner, covered with unknown insects, rustling and wriggling.
The prison bars were made of heavy cast iron and were covered with rust, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and the tragic fate of countless prisoners.
The gaps between the fences were narrow, and one could only barely see the dim corridor outside. Occasionally, the footsteps of patrolling people passed by, bringing a dull echo.
Ning Ning found that his body was tightly bound by heavy shackles. The cold metal cut into his skin, leaving shocking blood marks. Every time he moved, the shackles made a harsh friction sound, as if mocking his predicament.
His clothes were already tattered, stained with dirt and blood, and some places were even worn out, revealing his scarred skin. His hair hung messily on his face, almost covering his eyes.
Ning Ning tried to break free from the shackles, but every effort only made the wound more painful and made him more tired. He leaned against the damp wall, breathing heavily, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
There was no light in the cell, only the faint light coming in from the small window high up, which barely allowed him to see the surrounding environment. The air was filled with thick dust, and every time he took a breath, it felt like his lungs were being rubbed by sandpaper.
He had been to prison before, but this time was obviously different. The cell this time was worse than before, with tighter security. He was the only one in the cell, and this body had been tortured before. It seemed that he had become a serious criminal who needed to be strictly guarded this time!
He simply called up the original plot and flipped through it quickly. At this moment, the sound of many footsteps was heard at the door. Although there were many people coming, there was complete silence. Only a woman in yellow clothes and luxurious attire came over.
The woman covered her mouth and nose with snow-white silk and kept frowning, as if she was very disgusted with the environment here.
Standing at the door of Ning Ning's cell, she carefully looked at Ning Ning's miserable condition, curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and even her brows relaxed.
The eunuch beside her looked at her expression and hurriedly said, "General Ning, why don't you bow to His Majesty? You are so arrogant and rude!"
"Hey, Ning Qing has suffered a lot, I am very sad, so I won't bother with him."
"Oh, your majesty is so kind."
The master and servant were enjoying the performance, but Ning Ning was unmoved and felt a little bored.
The woman snorted coldly and looked at Ning Ning carefully. She thought that he didn't even have the strength to speak, so she ordered the people around him, "Open the door, I want to go in and see him."
"Oh, Your Majesty, this place is so filthy, how dare you step on such a cheap place!"
The eunuch was in a hurry to make a fuss, but the woman in yellow waved her hand and glanced at Ning Ning, which made the hair on Ning Ning's back stand up. "It's okay. If General Ning can stay here, I can go in too. As long as I can be closer to Ning Qing, I can go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"Oh, General Ning, look at how much His Majesty treats you. This is a blessing that many people would never be able to obtain. You really don't know how to appreciate it!"
The eunuch pinched his fingers together, rolled his eyes at him, asked for the key to open the door, and helped the woman walk in.
The woman looked at the weak Ning Ning, and was quite satisfied. "Well, although Ning Qing is injured and smells bad, it is because of this that she looks even more pitiful and weak. A beauty like you should serve me in the palace every day. Why do you have to hang out with stinky men, fighting and killing all day long, and become unruly! Considering that you have made many contributions in the past, I can treat you with special favor. As long as you nod, I will forgive you and still make you my concubine. What do you think?"
"My lord, my lord..."
Ning Ning was speaking with difficulty. He seemed too weak, his voice was hoarse and low, and it was difficult to hear clearly.
This is a rare moment when Ning Ning surrenders. Her desire to conquer is really overwhelming. How can she not listen carefully!
Besides, he was too weak to speak clearly, so it was harmless. The woman took a few steps forward and said, "What did you say? Speak louder. I can't hear you clearly!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I say, I say - are you tired of living?!"
Ning Ning suddenly jumped up and suddenly shook off the shackles!
The shackles instantly turned into countless pieces and flew everywhere.
Ning Ning jumped up from the ground and grabbed the woman in yellow like lightning. Before everyone could react, his hands had already tightly grasped her neck.
The guards were suddenly panicked and drew their swords, but they did not dare to step forward rashly.
Ning Ning shouted angrily, "Everyone step back!"
"Ning Ning, cough cough, you, you dare to hold me hostage, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of you, uh..."
Ning Ning squeezed her hard, almost making her roll her eyes. "What am I afraid of? Afraid that you will throw me into jail and torture me? Oh, no, you have already done that! Then your majesty, tell me, you have tortured me to the point where I am worse off than dead, so what am I afraid of? Hmm?"
He exerted more and more force. The woman in yellow felt that she might die at any time. She was shocked and scared, and kept regretting.
Maybe Ning Ning was indeed injured and very weak, but the more injured and weak the wolf was, the more fiercely it would bite people, so she really shouldn't take it lightly.
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare a carriage for me. Otherwise, it will be less conspicuous. Guards can follow us from a distance, but they are not allowed to bring bows and arrows. I advise you not to play tricks. You can't fool me! After I run away, I will naturally let her go. Go!"
Ning Ning felt like a kidnapper at the moment, but the woman in yellow was more afraid that he would get angry and exchange his life with hers. That would be too not worth it. After all, Ning Ning was of humble origin, how could she be compared with her, his destined lover.
So, she was more anxious than Ning Ning, and quickly ordered to do as Ning Ning said.
Soon, the carriage was ready. Ning Ning pinched her neck and went out, threw her into the carriage, and drove away.
She knew that her fighting power was far inferior to Ning Ning's, so she did not dare to resist while sitting in the carriage. She just kept persuading Ning Ning to turn back, "Ning Qing, even though I am a woman, I have never treated you badly before. It was you who had the intention of being disloyal first, so I put you in prison. But in the end, I did not do anything to you. In my dynasty, women have been emperors for generations. This is the ancestral system. How can you violate my ancestral system just because you have some contact with foreign countries!"
Ning Ning was busy escaping and had no time to talk to her. He was really annoyed with her and simply knocked her out with a palm!
