Chapter 867: Prison

I have been locked in this cell for countless days, but this time is extremely long, as if I have spent many years.

Apart from being detained, he was not treated humiliated. His cell even had furniture, like a simple house.

But I still can't figure out why Huang Yanghui, Liu Yuan and the generals who were absolutely loyal to the royal palace turned against each other overnight.

Sha Shaoyuan should have learned at the first time that the enclave sergeant entered the East Prince's Mansion. The East Prince's Mansion had arranged extremely strong troops near the Black Stone Bridge, and he was defending against the enclave organization counterattack. However, he could not understand why Sha Shaoyuan, a generation of veterans who had achieved success in the East Prince's Mansion, stood firmly on the side of the Enclave.

But now no one has explained to him the questions in Yu Sheng's mind. He has not heard any news of the arrival of an enclave general or messenger in Pingjin City. It seems that none of this has happened, and he was just locked in this cell because he did something wrong.

The cold facts are in front of me. I don’t want to deceive myself for the rest of my life. There must be some ulterior secret behind all this. Sudden abnormal behavior, such a large scale, must not be done overnight.

Yu Sheng had a lot of time in the cell. Except for Liu Yuan locking himself on the city wall at the beginning and announcing to all the soldiers that he was in charge of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he was thrown back into the cell. From that time on, except for the soldiers who delivered food to him every day, no one had ever come to see him, Yu Sheng didn't even have the chance to say anything to Liu Yuan. The matter happened too quickly, and he didn't even use his martial arts cultivation and became a prisoner for others.

Although the prison guard was not tight, Yu Sheng understood that there must be more than a pair of eyes staring at him outside. If he had any abnormal movements, it would not be his own problem.

As one of the four city lords of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Yu Sheng has extremely high prestige throughout the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and he also has some loyal subordinates. These people cannot save Yu Sheng now, but if Yu Sheng takes action, the fate of these people can be imagined.

There was a lot of time, which made Yu Sheng think a lot, but he still couldn't understand and could not figure out what happened now. If such a rock-solid force could break from the inside, he really didn't know what he should believe. This rebellion of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, the rebellion of Liu Yuan, Sha Shaoyuan and others subverted what Yu Sheng had always respected, and made him feel a strong sense of boredom. Under the influence of time, this feeling eventually led to Yu Sheng's emotions now, just like this cold cell.

“When… when…”

A few crisp sounds came, the sound of shackles hitting the wall, Yu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't say a word.

Next door to the Yu Sheng, another person was imprisoned. This person was Zuo Xin, a disciple of Chihong Sect who attacked Pingjin City at night and was captured by everyone at the same time.

No one expected that the person who had interrogated many times in the Yu Sheng was now locked next door to him, and the two became neighbors. What happens sometimes in this world is really amazing.

"What are you doing? Are you thinking about life again?" Zuo Xin's voice came from the side. His voice was a little hoarse. His long-term life in prison made his body seem a little weak. As a real prisoner, he did not have the treatment of Yu Sheng. There was only some thatch in the room, but he seemed to have become accustomed to life here. He would chat with Yu Sheng for a while. After a long time, he regarded this matter as his only entertainment. After all, there were only two of them in the cell in Pingjincheng.

"Why don't you speak? I'm frozen to death?" Zuo Xin's words came again: "It's impossible. My martial artist's cultivation level cannot be frozen to death. You are a martial artist, and you can't be frozen to death. Lao Yu, let's talk for a few words."

Yu Sheng's eyes moved, but he still didn't say anything. There was nothing he could attract his interest now, and he didn't know how to break the current situation.

"You're so bored like this. We are the two of us here. No one can hear anything you say. You always hold it in such a way, don't you suffocate yourself to death?" Zuo Xin was like a chatterbox. The more he didn't speak for the rest of his life, he became diligent.

Yu Sheng felt a little bored and replied in a low voice: "You have nothing to say."

"It's been so long, don't put your city lord on me again, okay?" Zuo Xin heard Yu Sheng's voice, and his voice immediately raised: "We are all the same identities now, we are all prisoners."

Yu Sheng didn't reply. His eyes looked at the shackles on his hands and smiled bitterly. The shackles made of pig iron were very heavy and were done to prevent prisoners from resisting. However, this kind of thing could be broken away at any time in Yu Sheng as long as he wanted. However, he didn't want to see the children of the Dongwang Mansion kill each other, so he never did this.

"Do you have anything to eat? I'm almost starving, throw it over for me." Zuo Xin gently knocked on the wall. From the corner of the cell, you could see Zuo Xin stretching out a hand, which was covered with dirt.

Yu Sheng glanced at the small table beside him. There were indeed some food delivered yesterday, but it was frozen. Although the cell was well arranged for him, there was no heating. The temperature inside the cell was no different from the cold winter outside. Yu Sheng stood up, picked up a frozen steamed bun from the small table, threw it out, and hit Zuo Xin's hand.

"Hey, really, thank you." Zuo Xin directly caught the steamed bun. His voice became excited, he smiled, and then put the steamed bun in his arms so that it could be melted with body temperature. Then he said again: "You said you don't say a word every day. What's so big, don't you want to live too?"

"You don't understand some things." Yu Sheng replied lightly. Although he had no good impression of Zuo Xin, just as Zuo Xin said, there were only two of them here, and he couldn't bear it even if he didn't speak.

"What's wrong with this?" Zuo Xin moved his position and said softly: "Whether it is a dynasty or a world of martial arts, the truth is the same. If you offend others, others will have to find a way to mess with you. You think you are helpless, I'm still helpless, I'm not doing anything, it's not that you've been locked up for so long, and you don't even give me a meal. If it weren't for you coming in from behind, I'd probably starved to death." As he said that, Zuo Xin smiled, changed his tone, and said, "Master Yu, did you not expect that you could be locked up with me, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's a river or a dynasty." Yu Sheng ignored Zuo Xin's joke and said softly as if he was talking to himself: "Some things are the bottom line. If you don't have these qualities, how can you stand between heaven and earth?"

"Fenggu, you are really a big shot." Zuo Xin replied loudly after hearing this: "I don't understand your character. Anyway, everything I do is to survive. If I don't agree to come to Pingjin City with them, I will die. No matter how strong the character is, no matter how strong the person is, they will be bones when they die."

"So I said, there are some things you don't understand." Yu Sheng smiled bitterly and leaned back to the wall just now. He lowered his head and looked at the shackles on his wrist, his voice very low.

"Then what are you going to do? Just wait like that?" Zuo Xin took out the steamed bun in his arms. This moment was not enough to thaw the frozen steamed buns, but a layer on the surface had melted. He couldn't wait to pull a piece with his fingers and throw it into his mouth. It seemed that he had been hungry for a long time. He ate and said, "You have been the lord of the Dongwang Mansion for so long, but you don't have a team? I don't have a chance to escape from here. It's simple for you. You are a martial artist."

"Escape?" Yu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I escape? I'm leaving now, it's not that I've harmed them."

"Otherwise, you are a man who is a dead face." Zuo Xin put the steamed bun back in his arms again and said, "The world is so big, how can you go? You have to die here? The Eastern Palace treats you like this, what do you still owe them?"

"These things have nothing to do with the Eastern Prince's Mansion." Yu Sheng whispered: "You are not stupid. Didn't you realize that I am a martial artist, how could I be so relaxed in detention?"

"They just want you to leave." Zuo Xin said: "If you want to leave, remember to take me with you. What I committed has been in prison for so long, and it's almost done. Besides, I didn't do anything to Huang Yuchen. Isn't he in the city now?"

I don’t know if it was intentional, but Zuo Xin didn’t follow Yu Sheng’s words at all, but his mention of Huang Yuchen made Yu Sheng think of something immediately.

That day, he clearly saw Huang Yuchen's figure in the air. This scene has been lingering in Yu Sheng's heart. Judging from the reactions of Liu Yuan and Sha Shaoyuan who were on the city wall at that time, the person next to Huang Yuchen should be a senior executive in the enclave. Huang Yuchen was also controlled by them. The purpose of these people is not only the Eastern Palace, but what they want may be the entire Qitian.

Yu Sheng is not worried about his own safety now, he is more worried about Huang Yuanwu. The entire Eastern Prince's Mansion is controlled by the enclave. Now Huang Yuanwu in the imperial capital is really walking on thin ice.

"By the way, didn't you tell me last time? Have you ever met Huang Yuchen?" Zuo Xin's voice came again: "You didn't say in detail at that time. Can you tell me where he is now? Do he know about you being imprisoned?"

"It's been a long time." Yu Sheng sighed softly, and he slowly stood up. During the long waiting process, he had been weighing the pros and cons. No one was guarding his cell. This shows that someone wanted him to go out. Yu Sheng had never gone out, but that was that he didn't figure out what this person meant. Also, he didn't want to implicate anyone, and he didn't want to see his subordinates fighting with other soldiers from the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
