Chapter 354: Rescue
"For the time being, the old minister can't think of any way to help His Highness the Seventh clear his name." General Liu frowned, no matter how he said that Xiao Heng was also his son-in-law, Liu Wanyan was still the Seventh Imperial Concubine, if he really counted it, he wouldn't be able to escape.
But for the time being, he really can't think of any way, the evidence for this key matter is too conclusive, and there is basically no possibility of turning the tables.
The emperor frowned and sighed slightly.
"However, the old minister thinks that the top priority is to rescue His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince from Duan Bailan's hands first, and then make plans." General Liu looked at the emperor and said again.
"Hmm." The emperor nodded, there is really no way to exonerate Xiao Heng now, he received news from Gu Huan before, saying that Xiao Heng has been arrested by Duan Bailan, so this rescue is still very necessary.
"General Liu, I will leave this matter to you, and you must save Xiao Heng." The emperor said to General Liu.
"The minister takes the order." General Liu knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor.
The Emperor smiled and helped General Liu up.
……
Frontier City.
Liu Nianru went to the cell just now, originally looking for clues to Xiao Heng's escape, to see if there was anything missing, but she found one thing.
Xiao Heng is still in his cell.
To be precise, Xiao Heng played by a Northern Army is still in the cell, at first Liu Nianru really thought that Xiao Heng had not run away, but after careful observation, he found that this person was wearing human skin. mask, and his body shape and other aspects are similar to Xiao Heng.
This should be what Duan Bailan ordered Chen Qin yesterday.
So Liu Nianru left the cell again and went to find Duan Bailan.
"Why do you want to find someone to pretend to be Xiao Heng?" Liu Nianru was puzzled.
"You found it." Duan Bailan smiled, it seemed that Liu Nianru had already been to the cell.
Liu Nianru nodded and looked at Duan Bailan.
"Xiao Heng may not be of much use to us, but for the emperor, Xiao Heng is his son after all, so the emperor will definitely send someone to save him, at this time, as long as we make the emperor think that Xiao Heng is still in our hands, he will definitely send someone." Duan Bailan hooked her lips and explained to Liu Nianru.
"Do you want the fake Xiao Heng to play the real Xiao Heng to find out information for us?" Liu Nianru asked.
"Of course, but the only information he can get is before he returns to Beijing. The Emperor is not a fool. Duan Bailan said.
However, in terms of intelligence, of course, the more the better, and on the way to send "Xiao Heng" back to Beijing, there will definitely be a lot of useful news.
"Do we need to arrange that?" Liu Nianru smiled and asked.
"Of course." Duan Bailan raised the corners of her mouth, "How could they let them rescue Xiao Heng so easily." ”
It seems that the people on the emperor's side will not have a good time either.
……
On this day, a group of merchants came to Frontier City.
Duan Bailan took this piece of information, hooked the corners of her lips, and handed over Chen Qin.
Obviously, these people are the people sent by the emperor to rescue "Xiao Heng".
At this juncture, in addition to the emperor's people, there will be merchants coming to the border city, don't you really know that the border city has been fighting recently? Isn't it looking for death when you come?
On this day, Chen Qin took a few soldiers into the cell and didn't know what they were doing.
Moreover, there are fewer guards outside the cell than before, and they change shifts every half an hour, and I don't know what's going on.
An inn is inhabited by a group of merchants who came today.
They gathered in a room, discussing something.
"You, go and find out the situation of the cell, and if you can, it's best to determine the location of the Seven Princes." When a man speaks, it is clear that he is the leader of the group.
If Duan Bailan was present, he would probably be able to recognize this person as Feng Qing, the imperial guard with a sword beside the emperor, and his force value was definitely not low.
"You two, go and familiarize yourself with the route, we have to plan a perfect escape route to ensure that we don't catch up by the Northern Army."
"Others, free to move, gather here every now and then."
"Yes." Everyone answered, and one by one they left the room.
Soon, Feng Qing also left.
That night, in front of the cell.
"There's still a cup of tea time for them to change shifts, are you ready?" Feng Qing asked.
"Ready." Everyone whispered together.
"Listen to me, Ah Jin couldn't get in today, so we have to quickly search the cell, don't rush out after rescuing the Seventh Prince, and make a decision after seeing the situation." Feng Qingdao.
"Yes."
"There are a total of five people in their cells, and when they finish their shifts, we will knock these five people unconscious, and then a few of you will change into their clothes," Feng Qing pointed to a few people, and those few people nodded, indicating that they knew.
"Then, the rest of you, follow me in to find the Seventh Highness." Everyone nodded.
"You guys, if someone finds out, solve it directly, don't make too much noise." Feng Qing looked at the five people who had asked him to play the guard before.
"Yes."
Feng Qing nodded, didn't speak anymore, and turned his head to silently pay attention to the people guarding the cell.
Soon, the Northern Army completed a round of shifts, but the strange thing is that after the people in the previous round left, the five of them looked around, and finally left here.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" As soon as these five people left, the cell was left unguarded, and it was not known when these people would return, so the strategy had to be changed.
However, no matter what, Xiao Heng must be saved.
"Leave two people outside to keep watch and report the situation at all times. The rest of us are coming in with me, and we need to do it quickly. Feng Qing thought for a moment and immediately said.
"Yes."
……
There were two people guarding the door of the prison, looking around nervously, while the others followed Feng Qing into the prison.
"Let's split up and find the Seven Highnesses to send a signal."
"Yes."
So, this group of people began to search for activities in the prison of Frontier City.
At this time, the prisoners in the cell were basically asleep, so
Feng Qing and his party walked cautiously, for fear of waking up the prisoners in the cell, and they shouted that they were all in vain.
on a certain road.
There was a man in black walking slowly, and suddenly, the ground under his feet sank without warning.
He hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.
Fortunately, this is only about four or five meters deep, and you can't kill anyone if you fall. But it still hurts.
After he fell into the cave, suddenly, white smoke rose from all around, and it became more and more intense.
He covered his mouth and nose tightly, but he still had some smoke in it.
