Chapter 192 Imprisoned In A Woodshed (2)
Wen Yantong was in the midst of thinking when a knocking sound suddenly came from the wall she was leaning against. Although it was light, it was still very conspicuous in the silent room.
Suspicious, Wen Yantong just stood and watched. After waiting for a while, the knocking sound came again. She immediately followed the sound and knocked back.
Having gotten a response, the other side immediately pulled out brick in the corner of the wall, revealing a hole the size of a palm.
"Is there anyone there?" A cautious voice said.
Wen Yantong frowned and approached, lowering her voice while asking, "Who are you?"
"Wen Yantong?" The man recognized her voice and anxiously followed up, "Wen Yantong, it’s you!"
She was a little confused, "You know me?"
"It's me," the person said, "Jiang Yan!"
Wen Yantong was shocked and couldn't think straight for a while. "Jiang Yan? Weren’t you supposed to be locked up in the temporary palace, why are you here?"
She leaned over and took a look, and found that Jiang Yan's whole face was scrunched around the hole, with half of his eyes exposed to look at her. He anxiously replied, "I—I was kidnapped, just last night. Why did you come here? Where is the fifth imperial prince and the others? Have they also been kidnapped?!"
Wen Yantong said, "Step back a little, would you? There is no need to talk with your face against the wall."
Jiang Yan obediently stepped back. Seeing that she didn't answer, he became anxious and rushed, "Tell me already!"
Since we’re already at this point, Wen Yantong thought, how could I answer whatever you asked? Thus she continued to feign arrogance. "Why should I tell you?"
Normally the eldest young master Jiang Yan would have reacted with anger at such a tone, but now that his sharp edges have been smoothed, he could only softly plead, "I’m just worried for the fifth imperial prince and the others, so just tell me……"
"You are locked up here, what’s the point of placing your concerns elsewhere?" Wen Yantong sneered.
Seeing Jiang Yan here, she knew that her previous guess was correct. These were indeed Jiang Residence’s private soldiers. The reason why they rescued Jiang Yan was because he may be the last descendant of the Jiang Residence.
However, the reason for his imprisonment here was unknown.
Jiang Yan walked around anxiously, as if he was holding back some words, unable to disclose to Wen Yantong. He just kept repeating, "I am not a bad person, and I have no intentions of plotting a rebellion."
Wen Yantong slid down to the ground and continued to disregard him.
In fact, she knew that Jiang Yan had no intention of conspiring against the state. She even knew that Jiang Yan was a scapegoat and was just another cannon fodder, but she still resented Jiang Yan for using her as a target. If Chi Jingxi hadn't inadvertently saved her, she could have actually been injured by Jiang Yan's arrow.
So she simply sat aside and ignored Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan frantically walked in circles, he tried to talk to Wen Yantong many times, trying various pleas and flattery, but he still got no response. Occasionally, a silver masked guard would come in to bring water and food; those were the only times he quieted down.
The sun outside the house gradually set, and their rooms became increasingly darker. The masked men had no intention of lighting up Wen Yantong's room, so when night fell, her vision was very blurry. Only the minimal moonlight coming in from the single window aided her vision.
Jiang Yan made several more attempts before he fell asleep from exhaustion. Wen Yantong remained sitting by the wall, feeling uncomfortable all over, but she didn’t feel like sleeping.
She wondered what Chi Jingxi and the others were up to now. Did they send someone to look for them, or did they descend the mountains to directly report this matter to their superiors? Has Mu Yang been bestowed a courtesy name? She originally wanted to say happy birthday to him, but no one would have expected that she would end up being locked in this small dark room.
Just as Wen Yantong was thinking, there was a slight noise outside the door. With a click, the door was unlocked and pushed open.
Her somewhat hazy consciousness suddenly sobered up, Wen Yantong stared at the door nervously, and even her breathing became lighter.
Although only a single person walked in, he was holding something in his hand. After he entered, the person locked the door back with the bolt.
Wen Yantong gulped, her heart was beating wildly and her scalp numbed with fear.
It’s already the middle of the night, what was this man’s intentions?
She leaned in the corner, and in the dimmed room, followed the man with her eyes. He seemed to have walked to a wall, and was groping for something unknown, there was a rustling sound that followed his actions.
Not long after, the man stood up again, this time walking towards Wen Yantong's direction.
Wen Yantong quickly shrank her body into a ball, reducing her presence as much as possible, but the man still walked over, bent down, and accurately grabbed her arm.
The hairs on her body stood up. Without a second thought, she slapped the back of the man's hand with great force, creating a loud, crisp sound.
The man didn’t react to her slap and reached out to grab her again.
Wen Yantong shrank back in shock, and finally couldn't help but whisper, "Who are you?! What do you want?!"
As soon as she spoke, the man immediately covered her mouth, it happened so abruptly that it blocked her breath momentarily.
In just that moment, Wen Yantong smelled a faint scent of ink. She instantly became quiet as a thought flashed in her mind.
Then the person in front of her squatted down, leaned close to her ear, and said in a breathy voice, "Stay quiet."
His hot breath hit the tips of her ear, riffling her up.
It’s Chi Jingxi!
How could he appear here? Shouldn't he be with Mu Yang and the others? Or were they also captured?
Several questions came to her mind. While lost in thought, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch Chi Jingxi's face but touched a cold mask.
She was very resistant to the silver mask, and for a moment she was about to retract her hand, but as soon as she was about to act upon her thought, Wen Yantong’s wrist was grasped by Chi Jingxi.
Before the two of them could speak, they heard movement from the room next to them.
It turned out that Jiang Yan was awakened by the slap sound just now. He quickly got up and put his ear to the hole to listen carefully. He heard Wen Yantong's voice again and thought one of the silver mask men had broken in during the night.
He quickly asked, "Wen Yantong, you alright?"
Chi Jingxi and Wen Yantong looked in the direction of the hole at the same time, and heard Jiang Yan continue, "If you need anything, just tell me and I can help you."
Wen Yantong could only respond, "I'm fine."
Jiang Yan didn't seem to believe her. He looked into the hole and saw nothing but darkness and became even more anxious. He quickly added, "I am their master, and they will listen to me. If you encounter trouble, you can tell me, okay? I will ask them to let you go tomorrow."
Wen Yantong couldn't help but retort, "What a good master you are. Always being locked up in a room."
Jiang Yan replied, "There is a reason for this."
The two of them only exchanged a few words but it garnered the patrolmens’ attention. One of them came knocking on Jiang Yan's door and asked, "Is there something wrong, Second Young Master?"
Jiang Yan immediately raised his voice and replied, "I'm fine, I’m just talking to my friend, don't worry about me."
The person outside the door responded and left.
