Chapter 26 Fighting for Fate
The moment suddenly being shrouded in fear, Ding Mu even felt that the air in the whole room was cold!
The short crossbow placed on the table stabbed Ding Mu's heart like a sharp steel needle. The passiveness of falling into a desperate situation without any warning made Ding Mu's head numb. This sudden change made him feel no sense of the slight pain of the sharp sword blade stretched from behind and resting on his shoulder touching his skin. ?
How did Gomez show all this? The short crossbow was found. What about Sophia, how about Sophia?
Sophia suddenly flashed through Ding Mu's heart, and even greater fear came one after another.
"Look, can you tell me what's going on?" Gomez still smiled, but his smile seemed to be terrifying. "A man who saved me hid a weapon like an assassin. Don't tell me it's a coincidence, such a crossbow... "Ming Xiang pointed at the short crossbow on the table with his fingers." There is only one place to make it. If you are from Crete as you said, then you will not be able to get this kind of thing. Now tell me everything you know, otherwise I will definitely make you regret lying to me!"
Gomez's last words turned into a roar. He pounded the table hard, and opened his eyes tightly staring at Ding Mu.
"Sir, I haven't deceived you," Ding Mu's heart was still beating wildly. He knew that even if a sentence was wrong, it might be a greater crisis. He did not doubt that the person in front of him would use various terrible methods to deal with him. Now he must find a way out for himself. "I admit that there are some things hidden from you, but this matter has nothing to do with me. I can tell you everything."
"Of course you will tell me everything, otherwise not only will you suffer yourself, but your cute little wife will suffer too," Gomez showed a more cruel smile on his face. "I really didn't expect a bohemian woman to be so beautiful. Although she is a mute, it doesn't matter, right?"
"If you dare to touch Sophia, I will not let you go!"
Ding Mu rushed towards Gomez regardless of everything, but was grabbed by the hand behind him, and a cruel voice rang behind his ears: "Be careful of the Greeks, you have fallen into my hands this time."
Ding Mu looked back and saw the soldier he had met when he first met Gomez. He remembered that this man had the same name as the priest, also called Alfonso.
Alfonso Perron, a terrible person!
"It seems you have to suffer a little first," Gomez nodded, and Elephant Perron waved his hand. "Take him down and let him meet his little wife by the way. If he refuses to tell the truth, you know what to do."
Peron smiled with a cracked mouth. He grabbed Ding Mu's shoulder tightly, stole him out of the door with a sword despite his resistance. At the same time, he said fiercely in Ding Mu's ear: "I really didn't expect your woman to be so cute. I really don't want you to say too quickly now."
"Peron, I swear that unless you kill me now, if you dare to touch Sophia, as long as I live, I will find you," Ding Mu stared at Peron's face. "Remember my words! I will find you!"
Peron's eyes narrowed, and looking at the young man's eyes, he was a little hesitant. The fear that had once existed in those eyes had disappeared, but had become a kind of determination!
The determination made Perron feel inexplicably that he was not saying something harsh because of fear and anger, but that he really thought so. If he really touched the Bohemian woman, the young Greek would take revenge for his whole life!
For a while, the sword in his hand swayed slightly, as if he was hesitating whether he would kill Ding Mu directly here, but he thought of Gong Xiang's order and stopped: "Then you have to pass the current level first, and you will soon know the taste."
After saying that, he put a hood on Ding Mu's head.
A corridor leads directly to the underground of the palace. Compared with the ground that is a little simple but sunny, the darkness and horror in the dungeon is suffocating. At night, it completely becomes a terrifying hell.
The torch light casts shaking figures on the wall, looking like a devil floating on the ground, bursts of faint groans of pain emerge from the cracks in the wall, making people feel creepy on the other side of the wall.
Ding Mu was taken to an empty room, and a small window poured in the wind from the top of his head. The room was filled with the stench of people who were about to vomit. The dark stains on the corners of the walls and the wooden frames were terrifying.
When the hood was lifted, my eyes were still stimulated by the light and I couldn't open my eyes, but a familiar shout came from my ears: "Ah~~"
"Sophia! Sophia!"
Ding Mu shouted, he searched blindly, and finally saw Sophia, who was clasped together in the light and locked in the corner of the wall by an iron chain.
Sophia's eyes were wide open and she was rushing towards Ding Mu, but she was pulled back by the iron chain again and again. The fear on the girl's face hurt Ding Mu's heart. He turned around and shouted at Perron: "I will tell you everything you want to know. This has nothing to do with her!"
"Are you begging me? That's not what you said just now," Perron slowly turned around Ding Mu. "What can you do now, as long as I want," he suddenly walked to Sophia, grabbed her chin and lifted it up. "I can take her in front of you now!"
"Peron!"
Ding Mu roared, his roar mixed with the terrifying sounds echoing in the corridor, and became an insignificant part of this hellish cage.
At this moment, looking at Sophia's frightened and helpless face, looking at Perron's unconcealed look at Sophia's unconcealed eyes, and feeling that he could not escape the powerlessness of other people's hands, Ding Mu finally made the last and most helpless decision.
"Go to find Gong Xiang Peilong and let him come here to see me..."
Ding Mu gasped hard. He didn't know what that decision would bring. Maybe the situation would be worse, and it might even cause him to completely die. But how could he watch Sophia be insulted in front of him!
And it is not known what will happen, but before he gets immersed, he can only grasp the only straw in front of him.
"What did you say?" Perron walked over and grabbed Ding Mu's collar and lifted him up. "Are you crazy?"
"Go to find the palace prime minister," Ding Mu still said, "It may not be good for you if you know something."
"I think you're really crazy!"
Perron punched Ding Mu in the stomach. When he squatted in pain, he smacked Ding Mu's back with his wrist guard and smashed him to the dirty ground.
Peron, who felt that he was being played with, turned around and walked towards Sophia. In fact, when he caught this Bohemian girl, he had already coveted her beauty, but now he felt that if he could possess this girl in front of Ding Mu, it would be even more exciting for him.
Perron, who was walking forward, suddenly felt his feet stagnant. Seeing Ding Mu lying on the ground reaching out and grabbing his ankle, Perron stopped the soldiers next to him who tried to pry his hands apart.
As Sophia was frightened but could only let out helpless "Ah~Ah~" shouts, Perron squatted down and pulled out a dagger from his waist: "You said before that I wouldn't let me go if I touched her. Now I'll let you see with your own eyes how I possess your woman."
The sharp dagger slowly stabbed into the tiger's mouth, and the pain made Ding Mu moan. He knew that Peron was going to torture him slowly, and then he raised his head.
What surprised Perron was that Ding Mu actually had a smile on his face.
"Prince..."
"What did you say?" Perron was stunned and bent down.
"It's a priest, I know that this matter has something to do with the priest," Ding Mu looked at Peron and showed a sarcastic smile. "I said that some things may not be good for you if you know them. This is just one of them. Do you still need to know now?"
Peilong looked at Ding Mu in shock. He was really regretful at this time and forced Ding Mu to tell him the truth.
If the assassination palace minister is related to Priest Alfonso, not only is he not able to control the matter, but even knowing more is a dangerous thing. Moreover, if it is just one of these secrets as the Greek in front of him said, then what more incredible things will he hear next?
After hesitating for a while, Peron still put away his dagger. He loudly ordered the guards not to allow anyone to approach the room. Then he stared at Ding Mu for a while before turning around and leaving.
With the heavy door ringing, Ding Mu slowly crawled up. His face was covered with mud, his forehead was bleeding because it hit the ground, but his eyes were extremely bright at this time!
Since you have made up your mind, you cannot retreat.
"Ah~" Sophia rushed to her body regardless of the iron chains that helped her hands. Her eyes were just looking at Ding Mu. Her body became so tender and weak because of fear. At this time, she was just a 12-year-old girl.
"Sophia looked at me," Ding Mu walked over and held Sophia's face in both hands and approached his eyes. "Listen, I swear I won't let you be hurt. I will protect you. Don't be afraid of my little wife. I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Sophia nodded vigorously, and then she tried to lean forward and raised her face.
First, he touched it gently, and then Ding Mu's chapped lips tightly on the girl's wet lips. He hugged Sophia with all his strength, and then he whispered in Sophia's ear: "Sophia, do you still have a knife on your body?"
Sophia was stunned and nodded.
"Listen, I'll take out the knife. If something really happens, I won't let them touch you unless I die."
Ding Mu said as he reached into Sophia's skirt. Because of his nervousness, he didn't feel the softness brought by touching the full peaks. When he touched the hilt, Ding Mu's heart finally settled.
A small dagger really doesn't work, but Ding Mu made up his mind at this moment. As he told Sophia, unless he died, his dirty hands would never be allowed to touch his wife!
The prison door rang, and the hand holding the knife was even tighter!
Seeing the tailor standing at the door with his nose pinched, a strange thought flashed through Ding Mu's mind: Is this fate?
Osborn looked at Ding Mu in a mess, with indifference in his eyes. This young man might have been useful to him before, but now he is useless. If it weren't for the priest involved, Gomez was unwilling to come to the dungeon in person, the tailor felt that he might not have seen this person in his life.
"You have something to tell the Prime Minister."
Osborn asked impatiently that the smell of the dungeon made him unable to stand it and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Of course, at this time the tailor won’t know that one day he will not only smell this smell again, but will eventually become a part of it.
"I don't want too many people to know about this," Ding Mu looked at Peron behind him with some slight references. At the same time, he carefully hid the short knife in his hand in his sleeve, which was the last bargaining chip. "This matter must be kept confidential. After listening, if you think I have cheated you can let them kill me."
Look at Ding Mu, then the guards behind him, and the tailor who thought there should be no danger would no longer be a danger: "Okay, but I advise you not to play tricks. I may not be able to see your cleverness, but Mr. Perron is not easy to cheat."
Perron, who was originally full of anger because of Ding Mu's words, groaned muffled from his nose.
It’s not that he didn’t know that there was no benefit to know too much, but his face was unbearable. Now the tailor’s words made him feel a little better, so he waved his hand and took the opportunity to take the person out of the cell.
No one knew what the two people inside said, and even Sophia in the cell could only see the two people standing on the other side whispering in a low voice.
But soon Sophia saw Osborne's face showing a look of surprise. He looked at Ding Mu in shock. His previous disapproval gradually disappeared. When Ding Mu finally finished speaking, the tailor's face seemed extremely solemn.
"You promise that what you said is true?" Osborn asked heavily. "You know that we will know soon whether these words are true or false. No one can save you at that time."
"Just as you said, you can know the truth or false at any time," Ding Mu spread his hands indifferently. "So what do you want to do now?"
"I have to report this to Lord Gongsun," Osborne pulled the collar tightly wrapped in lace with his fingers, as if he couldn't stand the scent of the cell. "You haven't told anyone about this, I mean..."
"Of course, only you know now," Ding Mu looked at the tailor. He knew that it was only a critical moment. He had to make this person realize that there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "You can investigate the truth of my words. I just want to say that I am a person with a clear relationship, just like I will never forget what Perron did to us. You helped me. When one day I get everything I deserve, I will repay you, and I can let you get something you dare not even think about."
Osborne opened his mouth slightly and looked at the young face in front of him.
This young man should be only twenty years old. Think about it, it is almost this age, so what he said is true?
Osborne used two fingers to pull the neckline tightly. Although the air in the cell was dirty, he really needed to take a few more breaths to calm down the ups and downs of breathing because of the news he heard.
Finally, Osborne nodded slowly, and he knocked on the prison door and walked out without saying anything.
Perron was already a little impatient to wait, and as time went by, he became more anxious.
Seeing Osborne, Perron came over and looked at the tailor with a humble smile on his face.
He just asked the captain to ask the unlucky child to "live a little better" because "Mr. Gong Xiang may still need them."
Somehow, looking at the flattering smile on the respectful and humble tailor's face, Perron's heart once again felt anxious.
He remembered what Ding Mu said before when he looked at his eyes, and he regretted reporting to the palace. If he had killed this kid just now, everything might have been simple.
But now he can't control the matter. Looking at the tailor's back, Perron turned around and threw himself through the window of the prison door and looked inside.
In the cell, Ding Mu was holding Sophia and whispering comfort.
"Don't worry, Sophia, everything will be fine, no one can hurt you again, I promise."
As he said that, he looked up at the prison door and saw a pair of flashing eyes at the window on the door. Ding Mu sneered in the corner of his mouth.
