“No, it was actually broken, but now I should still be able to save this leg.” As Liu Yu spoke his last word, he had already leaped out and used a chess piece to take down another guard…
I stared blankly at the scene before me, feeling an unprecedented chill down my spine. Those chess pieces were just our toys for entertainment moments ago, but now they had become deadly weapons. For a moment, I wondered if I hadn’t invented five-in-a-row chess, perhaps those guards who were just following orders would not have died at Liu Yu’s hands.
In a daze, Liu Yu in his plain white robe appeared before me again: “It’s done. Do you know where the mechanism is?”
“I… I don’t know.” I was stunned. The passage seemed to have fallen into an unprecedented silence. Seeing Liu Yu limping and randomly feeling the prison wall, I finally came to my senses. Yes, I needed to get out, find my grandmother, and then roam the world, breathing the taste of freedom.
l my leg be broken?! But don’t worry, even if it breaks, I’ll take you away!” I guiltily grabbed his hand, wanting to carry him on my back, but he suddenly froze, looking at me in a daze. My eyes rolled around in their sockets, and he chuckled, shaking his head: “I hadn’t noticed how beautiful you look in the sunlight until now…”
“Now I look even better!” I glared at him, both angry and amused that he could still joke while in such pain.
Not letting him continue joking through his pain, I struggled to carry him step by step towards the stone door. The piercing sunlight made my eyes hurt. Carefully looking around, I was captivated by the spectacular surroundings. Peaks upon peaks of mountains stretched endlessly into the distance, with blue and green covering the mountains, lush trees and grass displaying the warm summer…
He is the Chen King.
I couldn’t help but look back at the moss-covered stone door, the prison where I had lived for six years. It was hard to believe I had escaped so easily. If not for Liu Yu, how much longer would I have been imprisoned?
Thinking this, I couldn’t help but shiver: “Liu Yu, where are we going now?”
