The guards around Wang Jin were all experts and confidants assigned to him by his mother, Princess Duanping.
Wang Jin is suspicious by nature, but he really treats this mother-in-law as a mother, so he never shy away from these guards, no matter how confidential it is.
To the point of killing Gao Shen, Wang Jin couldn't trust his subordinates at all, and was unwilling to hand it over to the so-called "confidants", but to these personal guards.
When a few bodyguards dragged Gao Shen out, they sighed.
They are all masters trained by the royal family. They only serve the royal family and the imperial family. They were originally guards and the like. They would not interfere in the dirty work of killing people like this.
Gao Shen was dragged out by a few guards, until he was in a remote corner, and then everyone put him down gently and began to complain about each other.
"When I first came to Princess Duanping's side, I knew it was a chore, but I never imagined that we would become an idiot executioner!" A certain guard spat viciously. "This man has a good reputation, and he will be punished for killing him!"
This person probably believes in Buddhism, and he just procrastinates and is unwilling to do it.
The other guard probably didn't care, and he would cut his neck when he drew his knife.
"The third is right, such a good person should be left with a whole body, or not beheaded." The eldest one took the guard's hand and glanced at Gao Shen.
"Have a good time."
A few guards look at me, I look at you, the one who believes in Buddhism simply stands with arms folded and ignores him.
The rest of the guards were really reluctant to do this kind of thing for Wang Jin, but since they were given to Wang Jin by Duan Ping, they must not disobey the Lord's order, otherwise there would be an extremely terrifying end. For a while, Gao Shen actually survived.
"Well, you find me a wheelbarrow, I'll take care of him, and send him to jail. You don't do much dirty work, so don't get your hands dirty."
The older man's expression was sincere, and he seemed to take good care of the brothers on weekdays, so everyone showed a grateful expression.
"Boss, let's do it together, we can't let you take the blame alone. Who knows that this master will be able to jump around for a few days, and then he will not end well, so as to calm the princess' temper, we will not end well... "
A guard gritted his teeth.
"I'll do it!"
"Don't be so mother-in-law, I'm the boss, listen to me." The guard who claimed to be the boss waved to his companions. "Go find the car, and find me a big clean blanket to wrap him around, otherwise it will be troublesome to go out and be seen."
He has always had high prestige, and several guards followed his lead, and they were grateful for his willingness to do such an immoral thing, and his eyes were red to look for something.
The boss waited alone in the corner for a while, listening carefully to the surrounding movement, and when there was no noise, he half-knelt down and whispered in Gao Shen's ear: "General Gao, can you hear me? I know you Still awake."
Gao Shen was indeed sober, but he also knew what would happen to him. Rather than being killed in a clear-headed manner, he would rather die in a hurry.
But when he heard that the murderer who was about to commit the murder actually had the leisure to talk nonsense with him, a glimmer of hope rose in Gao Shen's heart, and he opened his eyes and pleaded:
"This strong man, I still have parents in my family. I'm the only child. If I die, no one in my family will be able to send my parents to filial piety. I beg you to let me go! I will repay the great kindness and virtue in the future."
The "boss" didn't return him, but simply let go of the ropes that tied his hands and feet, indicating his decision.
Gao Shen almost thought he was dreaming.
"Strong man, you are..."
"Although I have loosened your hands and feet, you can't untie it now. I will stab you in the chest later. Of course, if you don't trust me, you can also do it yourself, causing you to be stabbed in the heart. I'll send you out as a dead person, and when you're outside, it's all up to you."
The boss was still expressionless, but what he said could almost make Gao Shen bow to him.
"Although we are Wang Jin's bodyguards, we are not his lackeys. Lord Gao, you are a good person. Our brothers have seen how you have behaved in Chang'an City this year. I respect you and am willing to let go. You are alive, but you can't implicate my brothers."
As the boss said, he stretched out his hand to push the palace to activate blood for Gao Shen's limbs to help him restore his ability to move.
"When I send you out, I will be in desperation, and some of my brothers may suffer too. You have to remember the sins we suffered, and continue to be a good person in the future so that you can live up to my sacrifice today."
"Yes yes yes! I must remember!"
Gao Shen almost choked and said, "I must... I must continue to be a good person... "
How did he know that it was his hypocrisy that saved his life!
He used to think that living in such a pretentious manner was useless except to gain a little fame! What is the use of fame? It will only make him more and more dangerous...
Isn't this a reminder from God
In order to show his trust, Gao Shen asked the "boss" to stab him in the chest. Two hostile people, who should have been fighting to the death, now one is as meek as a lamb, waiting for the other to cause harm to him.
This mood is even excited.
Gao Shen felt the warm blood flow out of his chest, but "Boss"'s knife was fast and steady, and the wound was thin and shallow, and he didn't even feel much pain and it ended.
The warm blood told him that he was still alive, and he just let the blood flow, lying there with his eyes closed, waiting for the next ending.
It was so dark that it was too dark to see if a person was dead. The other guards were so convinced of their "boss" that not only did they not examine the body, but they even panicked with a "guilty" expression, as if the "boss" had carried their culpability.
The "boss" threw Gao Shen on the wheelbarrow alone, wrapped the "corpse" in a blanket, handed the blood-stained knife to a companion, and asked him to take it back to Wang Jin's recovery, and then pushed the wheelbarrow out of the backyard.
The gatekeeper who received Wang Jin's order along the way silently opened the door of convenience. He almost effortlessly sent Gao Shen to the street, and then continued to push along the street in the direction of the prison.
After he avoided a few patrolmen, and when they were far away, the "boss" put Gao Shen down behind a low wall and bowed his hands to him.
"General Gao, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."
"Does the strong man have a place to go? If there is no place to go, why not..."
"I have my own way, you don't have to worry too much." How could the boss not hear that he was trying to recruit him, but with his identity, how could this general from a military household be able to recruit him? So he just smiled and diverted the topic.
Before leaving, the boss said to Gao Shen cautiously: "Prefect Wang wants to send someone to burn down the Feiyun Tower and kill all those who know what happened tonight. The Qiang and Lushuihu people who are in prison should also With the order, now they are locked in prison, either burned to death or shot to death by arrows, General Gao better move faster, otherwise General Hua and others will also be in danger."
He emptied Wang Jin's arrangement, and then Shi Shiran gave a salute, stomped on the courtyard wall with both feet, and walked away on the eaves.
Only Gao Shen, who was wrapped in a blanket, remained in the same place with a confused face, and his face changed greatly after he finished chewing on the meaning of the words "Boss".
"Not good! That guy is going to burn Feiyun Tower! This winter is going to catch fire, wouldn't the market burn down most of it! It's not as good as pigs and dogs!"
Most of the buildings in Chang'an are made of wooden structures, and the weather is dry in winter. Maybe Wang Jin just wants to burn a family, but the fire can take advantage of the wind, and once it starts to burn...
Thinking of this, Gao Shen didn't even care to sigh that he had escaped from the dead. He threw down the blanket and immediately took his life and ran towards the market where Feiyun Inn is located.
Although there are no stars and no moon today, but patrolling day and night, he is more familiar with the streets of Chang'an than the locals.
It's just that after Gao Shen left, another head appeared from behind the original eaves, not the "boss", who else
The head of the guard, who did a good deed but did not name his name, saw the blood on the ground and sighed: "This guy looks steady and careful on weekdays. If you chase after him, you have to ask me to follow him to the end..."
He shook his head. "My dark chess has been abandoned so early, and I don't know if the prince will be angry. Forget it, I went back to Montenegro and begged for mercy with the prince. I am also trying to save General Hua, and the general should not blame me, right?"
The guard climbed over the wall and entered a house, picked up a bucket and poured water all the way, and then quickly left.
This time, his goal was outside the city.
***
Gao Shen escaped from death on this side and rushed to the market in a hurry, while on the other side, He Mulan and others, who were inexplicably locked in the prison, had begun to sense something was wrong, and a burst of unease rose in their hearts.
He Mulan couldn't kick the door, but the iron door bounced back with strength, and the leg was immediately injured, and it was so painful that he couldn't lift it up.
"Fairy Wood"
After her divine power was restored, it was rare for her to be deflated like this, so her mood was a little down for a while, and she couldn't think of a way to leave when she looked at the iron gate.
Helian Zhishui didn't have the divine power like He Mulan, so he could only shout outside the iron gate: "What happened? Why did you lock us up! We are not human!"
A slick voice answered from outside the door: "This lady, I'm really sorry, I am also following the orders from above. I am a servant, and there are orders from above that I dare not obey. If you want to blame others, you can blame others. Don't blame us poor people."
"What? What is the person above? Who is above? Hey! Speak up! Explain what's going on!" Helian Zhishui shouted, "Where is Gao Shen! Let General Gao come to see us!"
The jailer listened to Helian Zhishui's words and sneered: "Since the above is going to deal with you, then General Gao is also unable to protect himself, so you should die. I'm gone, I've stayed too much, and my life will be lost. Can't keep it…”
The man locked the big lock outside, and the regular footsteps gradually walked away.
Helian Zhishui's face was ashes as he heard the jailer's words. Apparently something went so wrong in this that someone "up there" wanted to deal with them.
Gao Shen should have helped them, but now the meaning of the jailer, Gao Shen should have also encountered an accident. If this is the case, Gao Shen is implicated by them.
Whether it was He Mulan or Helian Zhishui and others, they all had a great impression of Gao Shen, so when they heard what the jailer said, the entire prison fell into a brief silence.
"Don't talk about that yet." Gai Wu looked at the cell with no windows and no gaps, and knocked on the wall with a headache: "We should think about how to get out now."
"Did you smell anything?" Chen Jie shrugged, "Why do I think there is a strange smell?"
Although this room has no windows, there is a two-inch hole in the iron door, which should be used for passing meals and items. Gai Wu put his head on the hole and looked out, and his face changed greatly.
"No, it looks like it's on fire!"
"How could there be a fire? This is under the Prefect's Mansion. When we burn it, the entire Prefect's Mansion will collapse."
Helian Zhishui was very familiar with the Prefect's Mansion and shook his head again and again.
He Mulan dragged his injured leg over with a heavy expression on his face, carefully observed it for a while, and his expression became melancholy:
"It's not fire, it's smoke..."
She clenched her fists and slammed the iron door hard, and the iron door slammed loudly made a muffled sound: "The person who locked us wants to smoke us and suffocate us to death!"
Fire is of course dangerous, but smoke is different. If there are poisonous weeds in the smoke, the harm is even greater. He Mulan was a forensic doctor, and he didn't know how many corpses he had dealt with that died in fires. Fires can kill people, and suffocation caused by smoke is the main cause of death.
Because the fire smoke vortex contains a lot of carbon monoxide, it combines with hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin immediately after inhalation, thus hindering the function of hemoglobin to transmit oxygen and causing suffocation.
"Smoke, a lot of smoke!"
"Young Master! General! Can you hear that? A lot of smoke poured into the entrance!"
"Oops, it smells so bad! It smells like bucks? No, it's poisonous!"
Gai Wu listened to the random noise of the Lushuihu people outside, his face changed and changed, and turned even more frantically to knock on every brick in the cell.
"Gai Wu, what are you doing?"
Chen Jie pulled La Gai Wu's sleeve inexplicably.
"Now is the time to knock on the wall!"
"You don't know, some people will leave secret passages or secret doors when building prisons, in case they will be locked in later, maybe there are some of them."
Gai Wu tapped brick by brick with the handle of the knife, and the sound was dull and boring, as if it had hit everyone's heart, making everyone in the room feel irritable.
"Is it starting to lack oxygen now?"
Seeing that Gai Wu, Chen Jie, and the others were knocking on the brick wall like crazy, He Mulan couldn't help but glanced around, and rolled the broken blanket on the floor into a ball and stuffed it into the only hole in the iron gate. .
She also had no choice. Someone outside said that the smoke smelled and might be poisonous. She could only block the pores first to prevent the smoke from coming in. The cell was sealed so well that all the cracks in the door were sealed, and the poisonous smoke should not kill them for a while.
It's just that this is a procrastination plan after all. If it goes on like this and the oxygen is insufficient, they will suffocate to death sooner or later.
At this time, the coughing and various shouts outside had become louder and louder. After Gai Wu, Chen Jie and the others knocked on all the bricks, they shouted in despair:
"No! There is no way to live! We are wasting time!"
Chen Jie's eyes were red as he scratched at the stone brick wall, as if he could dig open the brick wall by doing so. Mangu showed the benefits of being older at this critical time. Not only did he not panic, but he was able to appease Gai Wu and Chen Jie, who were younger than him.
"Don't worry! Our generals will definitely have a solution! There will be!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room looked at He Mulan with expectant eyes, and cold sweat broke out from her back.
What can she do
Do you want her to tear the door with her hands, or crack the brick wall with her fist
She is just a powerful general, not God!
In the midst of the stiffness, the broken blanket on the iron door seemed to move.
He Mulan thought it was a hallucination caused by lack of oxygen, but when he looked at it again, the blanket did move a few times, and hurriedly ran over to pull away the tightly blocked rags, revealing a look of Luertai. face.
"General, how are you, general? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, how did you get out? How's the situation outside?" He Mulan squatted on the ground and asked Luertai outside the door.
"One of our brothers is good at opening locks, and the other is good at bending railings, so he escaped. But we can't open the lock on this door, we don't have tools!" Ants on a hot pan.
"There is smoke everywhere. I asked the little monkey to go out to check the situation. If there are not many people, let's rush out and put out the smoke, and then slowly toss the lock on the general's door!"
"General, is the Wujin dagger here? The Wujin dagger can break the jade and cut the edge, maybe it can destroy the lock!" Man Gu suddenly remembered the sharp blade that General Wang had given him, and couldn't help but light up.
"Give the Ujin Dagger to Lultai and try it!"
At this time, thick smoke filled the air, and the Lushuihu people were still trying to save all their comrades. Amidst the sound of coughing, slashing, slamming doors, and shouting, they could hear endlessly. It seemed that something was wrong not only on this floor, because He Mulan even vaguely heard scolding coming from the entrance downstairs.
He Mulan handed out his Wujin dagger and instructed Luertai, "Let Lu Shuihu's friends tear off their clothes and cover their mouths and noses, and try to rush out. There are foreign objects in the smoke, and they are inhaled a lot. It's not good for the throat and lungs, put out the fire after going out, and cover the igniter with wet clothes. Leave us alone, one can get out!"
Luertai answered in his mouth, but only ordered others like this. He still stayed at the door and slashed with the Wujin dagger. After a loud bang, the Wujin dagger broke, but the lock of the big lock did not. Destroyed, just a big gap was broken.
"Lurtai, young master! The people who lit cigarettes outside are all dead! Come out!" The little monkey ran back after sensing the movement, shouting in ecstasy, and then he was caught in the poisonous smoke that filled the prison. Choking, violent coughing.
"Cough cough! Come out!"
"Is there a gap?"
He Mulan asked Luertai.
"Yes, about the size of your little finger."
"That's enough." He Mulansi ordered and nodded to Luertai. "Take someone to guard the door, and send someone to save everyone below."
"What? General, who cares about others at this time! If you go down, maybe you won't come up!"
Lultai jumped up and down in a hurry. "I'll call my brothers first, and I'll knock the door open!"
"You don't understand, this is obviously someone trying to kill someone. If we escaped and someone else died here, it would be dead without proof, and there is no doubt that someone will frame us for causing turmoil for escaping prison. These people shouldn't have anything to do, yes It's because of our involvement that we have this great calamity, so we can't let it go."
He Mulan said solemnly: "Since the smoke outside has been extinguished, our lives are safe for the time being. Whether or not we can go out is the second priority. It is important to save people first. There are helpers too.”
"Luertai, go save people!" Gai Wu ordered decisively, "There are so many people saved, and this wall has been pushed down!"
"That's right! Aunt Cui is still down there! We must keep her safe!"
Helian Zhishui also shouted.
Everyone said this, and without hesitation, Luertai turned around and left with the rescued man.
Before Luertai left, He Mulan asked where the iron lock was. After Luertai left, he began to ram the iron lock with all his might.
Her right leg was injured by the shock from the previous flying kick. It may have been a setback to her bones. The pain did not dissipate for a long time. He Mulan had no choice but to use the method of flying to deal with the iron lock.
The iron door was impeccable, but the iron lock was not. After He Mulan hit again and again, he could only see that the iron door had clearly opened a gap. Although it had not yet opened wide, it was coming soon.
At this time, He Mulan was exhausted and out of breath. The oxygen in the room was not enough. No matter how strong she was, she tried again and again, and her temples were scattered and sweaty, and she could hardly breathe.
At this time, Gai Wu and the others seemed to be waking up from a dream. They tied up the hem of their clothes and shouted, "We'll help you!" They followed He Mulan and bumped into that position seemingly stupidly.
Finally, after a concerted collision, the lock that had a gap was suddenly broken, and the door opened from the inside at once!
Bang, bang, bang.
After a few loud noises, He Mulan and the others, who were grinning, got up from the ground. There was smoke everywhere, and the visibility was extremely low. There were only seven or eight men left at the door, covering their noses with rags. Seeing He Mulan and the others coming out, they immediately surrounded them and pulled them out.
There were loud footsteps behind her, and He Mulan looked back, her eyes widened immediately.
How big is the prison in Chang'an Prefect's Mansion? So many people shut up
In addition to those Qiang people downstairs, who were rescued by the Lushuihu people, there were vicious people who looked like desperadoes, as well as old people and women and children whose legs were shaking. There was a woman whose clothes were barely able to cover her body. He Mulan couldn't bear to see it anymore.
"Isn't Gao Shen the Colonel of Zhenshu? How come there are old and weak women and children in this prison? What can be wrong with such an old man who can't even walk?"
He Mulan muttered to herself in a low voice, and began to have suspicions about the prefect of Chang'an.
"What's going on? Why is there a sudden smoke?" Di Ziyu and the rest of the Qiang people were rescued by the Lushuihu people, but their weapons and everything on their bodies were confiscated by Gaoshen, so they were unarmed and unarmed. Thing, when I saw this situation, I panicked.
"Where did the head of the cell and the guards go?"
Seeing that this young man still asks questions at this time, Gai Wu couldn't help rolling his eyes: "There is so much nonsense, it is serious to leave here first!"
He Mulan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yucui was being protected by Di Ziyu behind her. Helian Zhishui covered his entire face with a cloth like the others, but Di Ziyu couldn't know his identity, he just thought it was a little girl.
When the Lu Shuihu people went down, they killed the jailer who was smoking on the Qiang floor. When He Mulan led the crowd out of the prison, he found that some well-armed private soldiers were fighting with a group of guards at the door. There were many prison guards lying on the ground, apparently killed by these private soldiers before.
"It's a private soldier who was lent to General Gao to make up the number. I borrowed it from my father!" Helian Zhishui lowered his voice and said beside He Mulan, "But I placed them in Feiyun Tower, I don't know. Why did they come here to save us?"
"Probably General Gao saw that the situation was wrong and sent them a letter. It's not too late, let's go!" He Mulan led a group of Lushuihu, Qiang, and prisoners into a new force, and immediately moved towards The guards rushed over!
The number of private soldiers and guards outside was about the same, but He Mulan and his party came, especially the generals like He Mulan, who immediately collapsed and fled.
He Mulan's team was originally a random piece together. Once the disaster was over, the enemy fled again. Whether these prisoners or Qiang people took the opportunity to flee, they also scattered around with the fleeing guards.
Even Di Ziyu led his own men and rushed outside the prefect's mansion.
This situation is the most chaotic. Even He Mulan has no way to break through the piles of people to rescue Yu Cui. run outside.
"Aunt Cui, Aunt Cui..."
Helian Zhishui nervously held He Mulan's sleeve.
"They kidnapped her again!"
However, it didn't take a moment for a funny scene to happen.
The group of people who had escaped and ran wild, turned around and ran back as if they were being driven by something terrifying.
"What happened?"
He Mulan was stunned.
Behind He Mulan, Gai Wu, Lu Ertai, and the others heard the sound of the bowstring being tightened, and shouted in panic as everyone backed away.
After a tingling shock, countless people screamed from the front. At the same time, Di Ziyu and others who had already run away from the prison also withdrew to the entrance of the prison. Arrows, and the number has been reduced by more than half.
"I'm fucking your ancestor's eighteenth generation! You actually used an archer!"
A group of Qiang people shouted in a mess.
"Today, there are gangsters robbing the prison, causing chaos in the prison, and a large number of prisoners fleeing. In order to protect the safety of the people of Chang'an, the captain of this school has been ordered by the prefect to kill anyone who dares to escape from the prison! All are surrounded!"
A sharp voice sounded in the dark night, and the bloody breath drifted into everyone's nose with his weird tone, making the whole night of horror even more absurd and terrifying.
"Fuck your motherfucker! Colonel Zhenshu is General Gao, when will we have another Colonel Zhenshu in Chang'an!" A man with a bare chest yelled.
The owner of the sharp voice finally revealed his hideous face. Along with him, there are also a lot of string-controllers behind him.
The prefect of Chang'an was also a guard general. After the high-level commander of the township was lost and he disappeared, the new commander sent by Wang Jin naturally took over the township of Chang'an.
Wang Jin has the right to mobilize the local army to suppress the chaos, and "prison unrest" is also a kind of chaos, so just as the private soldiers and guards borrowed by Helian Zhishui started fighting, someone quickly reported to Wang Jin. News, moved this group of people.
Wang Jin lives in the prefect's mansion, and the prison is also in the prefect's mansion. It's not fun to be run away by Hua Mulan from the side of the couch. Now Wang Jin can no longer care about covering up the truth. The new captain, who had not been in office for an hour, went to "suppress the rebellion".
This new colonel wanted to make a contribution in front of Wang Jin, and he got such a "big event" as soon as he took office.
Facing the black arrows, even He Mulan could not rush out of the battle even if he was descended from the gods.
Looking at the heavy prison gate, He Mulan made a decisive decision.
"Return to the prison as quickly as possible! Close the door!"
