The cell boss didn't know Chu Liuxiang, but he had also heard his story and knew that he was a big man, but he didn't see even the prefect running here for three days, and they looked like they were talking happily.

So the cell boss was still very polite to Chu Liuxiang, not only chose a cell with the best lighting for him, but also cleaned it clean, almost catching up with his own home, and he also bought him a quilt out of his own pocket.

But Chu Liuxiang didn't feel comfortable at all, he was a particular person, he didn't sit if he could lie down, he lived a life of ten cents if he had ten cents, and he would never treat himself badly in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but now, he hadn't taken a bath for several days, and his clothes were still the same, if his nose wasn't bad, he would have been able to smell the sourness on his body.

When Yan Xiubai came again, he strongly asked to let him take a bath.

"I don't dare say yes. Yan Xiubai said very seriously: "The more I hear about Chu Xiangshuai's deeds, the more jealous I become, it's really a fluke to be able to trap you here, I'm not sure I'll trap you again." ”

"Won't I be able to run away?" Chu Liuxiang couldn't cry or laugh.

"As a friend, I believe in you, but as an official of the court, I can't trust you. Yan Xiubai shrugged and said.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Then what are you going to do with me?

"You don't have to worry about that, the people who interrogated you are already on their way. ”

"What?" Chu Liuxiang was really surprised.

Speaking of this, Yan Xiubai's gaze at the other party was a little more subtle, "After your matter was reported, the capital immediately sent someone to escort you back to the capital for trial, to be honest, who did you offend, I'm afraid that the person in the capital is not good." ”

Chu Liuxiang was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose, blinked and said: "That, it's nothing, it's just a pair of Wu Daozi's authentic handiwork of Uncle Chaoguo, which I took easily, as well as the precious blood jade of Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Rites."

Yan Xiubai frowned, his face became a little unsightly, and finally after Chu Liuxiang said, "Two years ago, a small country outside the country paid tribute to a glass beauty, and I took the sheep by the hand", he threw up his sleeves and left directly.

"Go all the way and undergo reform in the prison of the Criminal Department!"

Chu Liuxiang didn't care about the inconvenience of his hands and feet for a while, and chased after him and said quickly: "This can't be blamed on me, the treasure is dusty, it makes me more uncomfortable than taking my life, the more precious things are, the more they should be placed in a suitable position for them, how can they be allowed to be tainted in the hands of some filthy people."

With a bang, he was answered by the tightly closed cell door, which almost hit him on the nose.

Chu Liuxiang watched Yan Xiu leave without looking back, and could only touch his nose with a wry smile.

"Hmph! I said a long time ago that officials and thieves can't go the same way, you treat him as a friend, but he wants you to go to the capital to die, the insidious and cunning of being an official, there is no good thing!" came the voice of the Blood Rakshasa resentful from next door.

"What do you want to say?" Chu Liuxiang chuckled.

The jingling sound sounded, and the Blood Rakshasa grabbed the fence, staring at Chu Liuxiang with his eyes, and said, "You and I will join forces to escape and kill the dog officer together, and the Blood Rakshasa will be the first to look forward to it!"

There was a silence, Chu Liuxiang sighed, raised his hands, and the thick iron chain was exposed, "You and I look like this, how can you escape? Your Excellency can't help but look down on me." ”

"The dog officer surnamed Yan doesn't know how handsome Chu Xiang is, I don't know, how can a mere iron chain trap a thief!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and didn't speak again.

Not to mention an ordinary cell, even the most elaborate secret room in the world, it is impossible to trap Chu Liuxiang, the reason why he didn't leave was just waiting for someone.

With a snap, he slapped a flea to death with one palm, smiled at the person who appeared at the door at some point, and said softly, "You're here." ”

The man in the black cloak raised his hand and removed his hood, revealing a gentle and delicate face, "I'm here." Su Rongrong smiled at him, then took out the key and opened the door of the cell.

She opened the door and went in, and when she saw the shackles and shackles on the other party's body, she frowned tightly, and she handed over the things in her hand, "This is what you want." ”

It was a dagger, inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, and it was priceless, but such a dagger, which looked like a decoration, was really sharpened like clay.

Chu Liuxiang took the dagger, and sighed while cutting the chains that bound him: "This Lord Yan also has a heart, and he actually melted all the key holes, no matter how good I am at unlocking, I can't open a lock without a hole." ”

With a clang, the chains fell to the ground, Chu Liuxiang stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and the feeling of light hands and feet made his whole person a lot easier.

"How's the outside?" he asked.

"It's all arranged, and you can leave immediately. ”

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "It's a pity, I can't drink Lord Yan's wine anymore, the wine he brews is good." ”

Just as the two were about to leave, the voice of the Blood Rakshasa sounded next door.

Faced with the request of the Blood Rakshasa, Chu Liuxiang just smiled faintly and said, "I think Lord Yan has a good saying, killing pays for life, Your Excellency should have this consciousness for many years." ”

After speaking, regardless of the people behind him from begging to hysterical scolding, he left with Su Rongrong without looking back.

=============================================================================================================================================

When Yan Xiubai knew the news of Chu Liuxiang's escape, he was looking at the excerpts sent by the county order of Xuancheng County, it is said that a mountain ghost appeared there there, coming and going without a trace, often poultry, cattle and sheep are missing, and the villagers have suffered heavy losses.

When the shackles that were cut into several sections were placed in front of him, he was actually not too surprised, the cunning rabbit still had three holes, not to mention a human spirit like Chu Liuxiang, he was a person who could turn over at the last moment even if he was really in a desperate situation, and the stories about him circulating in the teahouse and restaurant fully illustrate this point.

The people have already run away, although they know that the possibility of catching them is extremely small, but they still have to symbolically pursue them, otherwise they will not be able to make a difference, and the people in the capital are almost there.

The entire Haozhou Mansion was on alert, and Yan Xiubai personally pursued the fugitives, so the people from the capital pounced on him.

The person who came was naturally angry after knowing that the prisoner he was escorting had escaped, but Yan Xiubai was not there, and he didn't even have a person to lose his temper, so in the end he could only vent his anger on the official in charge of the reception.

The angry official called him unlucky, how could he let himself receive such an errand.

Although Su Rongrong was meticulous in her work, after all, Haozhou Mansion was Yan Xiubai's territory, and he still found some clues, and all kinds of signs showed that they were going to the waterway.

Yan Xiubai chased for two days in a row, but in the end he still touched Chu Xiangshuai's little tail, but it was a little late.

Chu Liuxiang on the boat was dressed in a splendid brocade robe with exquisite workmanship, a folding fan in his hand that was very unseasonable, and he was surrounded by three beauties with different styles.

When he saw Yan Xiubai, he was not too surprised, but just bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Lord Yan, I have been taken care of these days, and there will be a period in the future." ”

The boat flew away along the river, and the group of people who followed Yan Xiubai could only stand on the shore and sigh.

"Your Excellency. Someone ran over quickly, and there was a letterhead on the ground, "Letter from the Xuzhou Mansion." ”

Yan Xiubai took it and hurriedly swept it over, and the content of the letter turned all the depression he had just now into anger.

The letter was sent by someone from the capital, and the tone was not polite, so he almost pointed at his nose and scolded.

Yan Xiubai sneered, and directly shredded the letter paper into powder, "Don't chase it, since the capital is coming, let them arrest people by themselves, I think the adults are much better than us, which round will we get out." He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Xuancheng County and go to find the mountain ghosts!"

As for the other party's reaction after knowing his decision, it was not something he considered.

The county magistrate of Xuancheng County is a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, with a beard, and he looks a little shrewd.

He obviously didn't expect the prefect to come over in person, and he was a little flattered for a while.

Yan Xiubai was not polite to him, and directly asked him what happened.

Half a month ago, a villager in Qiaosheng Village came to report to the official, saying that the family's cattle were missing, and he suspected that it was stolen.

For a few days, more than a dozen families in Qiaosheng Village were robbed, the other party did not steal money or things, only picked up chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep and other domestic animals, and often saw blood stains at the crime scene, and then the matter slowly developed to several neighboring villages.

The villagers stayed awake all night, and Zhao County's order also made people ambush and surround them, but what they saw was a flash of black shadows that blended with the night, so fast that people almost thought they were dazzled - if it weren't for the fact that the domestic animals used as bait had disappeared.

People in small places don't have much knowledge, and when they see this situation, they think it's a mountain ghost, you think, how can people have such a fast speed!

Fortunately, Zhao County's order has some vision, and it just so happened that the reputation of the prefect happened to be spread, so he handed over a fold with the idea of trying it out, but he didn't expect the other party to really come.

When Yan Xiubai came, it was almost dark, and Zhao Xianling wanted to let him rest for one night first, and even let his house out, after all, it was his boss, and he couldn't let the other party have a chance to wear small shoes for himself, and the appropriate sycophants still had to be filmed.

But Yan Xiubai refused, and directly asked people to take him to Qiaosheng Village.

It was completely dark, and the torches were burning, which alarmed the whole village.

After knowing the identity of the group, the village chief hurriedly brought people to visit, Yan Xiubai looked at the deep mountain in the night, and asked, "How big is this mountain?

The village chief hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The old forest is very deep, even if you enter the mountain, you don't dare to go deep, the poisonous snakes and beasts are too dangerous." ”

Yan Xiubai thought for a while and said: "How can you be sure that it is a mountain ghost, or it may be that the fierce beasts in the mountains have taken away the domestic animals, and it is not impossible to be near the mountains here." ”

The village chief blushed, "How is it possible, everyone saw it that night, the black shadow was very fast, but it was definitely not a shadow of a beast or something. As he spoke, he looked around as if he had to verify it.

The surrounding villagers nodded yes.

Yan Xiubai became interested, he directly took a torch, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked towards the deep mountain, while saying: "Is it a mountain ghost or a fierce beast, you will know when you go in and take a look, I will go back as soon as I go, don't come with you." ”

Zhao Xianling was directly dumbfounded, and he didn't even have time to stop it, just a blink of an eye, and the long figure had disappeared in place.

"This, this prefect is also a mountain ghost?!" the old village chief was shocked.

"What nonsense!" Zhao Xianling reprimanded, he suddenly regretted it, what if something happened to the prefect here?!

The mountain road is rugged, and it is even more difficult to walk at night, but Yan Xiubai walks steadily and calmly.

He felt it, and from the moment he stepped into the forest, there was a pair of eyes watching him.

Yan Xiubai remained silent, he walked for half an hour, found a vacant land, and then took out a Yaoqin that he had bought temporarily from his back and sat on the ground.

When the sound of the piano sounded, the whole mountain forest seemed quieter, Yan Xiubai's piano skills were of course good, skillful, full of artistic conception, and there were probably few people in the world who could match it.

But in such a deep mountain and old forest, in such a late night, this beautiful sound of the piano gives people not enjoyment, but fright.

There is no internal force in the sound of the piano, calm and peaceful, and then change the song after playing, from the white snow in the spring to the mountains and flowing water, until the crescent moon climbs to the top of the head, there is finally a trace of abnormal movement.

A very patient person, Yan Xiubai thought so, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his whole body rose up, and the index finger hooked the string was a solemn sound.

The snowy sword flashed in the shadows, a trace of shock crossed Yan Xiubai's eyes, and the two forces collided together, and the ordinary Yaoqin, which was five taels of silver, could no longer withstand his strength, and shattered into three sections.

Yan Xiubai retreated, but the knife did not give an inch, and slashed over continuously, he touched the long sword in his sleeve, but he still didn't take it out, only shouted: "Yan Changsheng!"

Dao Guang paused, Yan Xiubai took this opportunity to finally break away from the battle circle, he looked up and saw that the other party had been completely exposed to the moonlight.

Black clothes, a narrow Mo knife, an extremely handsome face, and the scars on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, who is it not Yan Changsheng?!

It's just that this Yan Changsheng has shrunk?!!

Yan Xiubai was stunned, the other party's height was a head shorter than him, and his eyebrows were a little immature, this, this, this "Yan Changsheng" was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most!!

"Who are you?How do you know my name?!" fifteen or sixteen-year-old Yan Changsheng asked, his voice crisp and pleasant.

Yan Xiubai: ""

He felt that he had woken up too early today, and he must not have woken up yet!
