Chapter 219: Rescuing Li Dan

Guo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Dan's attitude to be so cold, but after thinking about it, Li Dan was a pirate, and he was naturally not interested in the people in the court, it seemed that he had to show another identity, so he took out the jade pendant given by Baidu from his pocket and shook it at Li Dan, Li Dan trembled when he saw it, stepped forward and snatched the jade pendant in Guo Zhiyuan's hand, looked at it carefully, and then knelt in front of Guo Zhiyuan, and said excitedly: "My lord, forgive Li Dan for having eyes and not knowing Mount Tai, offending my lord, Since the adult holds Bai Engong's token, he is Li Dan's Engong, and Li Dan is willing to let Engong drive him to die forever! ……”

Through the previous observation of Li Dan, Guo Zhiyuan still admires Li Dan very much, and he is righteous and charismatic to his compatriots, so that he can establish such a high prestige among these Chinese prisoners, and what is even more rare is that he not only has the courage of a horseman, but also knows how to judge the situation and be able to bend and stretch, such a talent is exactly what Guo Zhiyuan needs, and it is really thanks to the jade pendant that Bai Du gave when he left, otherwise it is really not easy to subdue the arrogant Li Dan, so he hurriedly took Li Dan up, and said with great joy: "Uncle Li, please get up quickly, When Brother Bai was leaving, he handed me this jade pendant, and asked me to find Uncle Li, saying that as long as Uncle Li helped, I would definitely be able to successfully complete this mission......"

Li Dan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My lord's words are serious, how can Li have such ability, if Li Mou hadn't lost his freedom, maybe he could still help the adult, but now that Li is in prison, it is difficult to protect himself, even if he wants to help the adult, he is powerless!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I will definitely try to rescue Uncle Li!" ……”

Li Dan hurriedly said: "Your Excellency must not act rashly, this place seems to be loose, but in fact it is heavily guarded, otherwise Li will not be trapped here, and even if the adult rescues me from the hard labor shipyard, there are Spaniards everywhere, it is difficult for us to escape their search, Li Mou's life is not tight, if it involves the adult, he will die!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan patted Li Dan's shoulder, smiled slightly, and said: "Uncle Li don't worry, I have my own measure, but I am also the diplomatic envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and the Spaniards dare not do anything to me!" ……”

Li Dan glanced at Guo Zhiyuan with some concern and said: "I am an old man when I deal with the Spaniards in Luzon, these Spaniards say one thing and do another, call you brother and brother in their mouths, and turn their faces when they say that they will turn their faces, and adults still have to pay more attention to their dealings with them......

Guo Zhiyuan nodded solemnly, he also felt that he might be a little too optimistic, there was no movement on Acuña's side these days, and he didn't know what bad water he was holding, it was definitely not a way to wait like this, but he didn't know anyone here, and he couldn't collect intelligence about the Spaniards, so it seemed that he had to rescue Li Dan quickly!

At this time, Felisha had already followed Andrew around and came back, Guo Zhiyuan had to pat Li Dan on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said, "Wait for my news!" And he walked away quickly.

Guo Zhiyuan followed Felisa's team back to the Royal City of Manila again, he originally wanted to ask Felisa to help him rescue Li Dan, but he couldn't open his mouth, Felisa is Acunia's daughter after all, and letting her help him save Li Dan is equivalent to directly doing the right thing with Acuña, so Guo Zhiyuan still decided to find his own way.

After returning to his residence, Guo Zhiyuan gathered his backbone to discuss how to rescue Li Dan, most of the people came to Manila for the first time, and they were a little blind when they heard Guo Zhiyuan introduce the situation, and it was not easy to rescue a prisoner who was closely guarded in an unfamiliar place.

Guo Zhiyuan drew a topographical map of the hard labor shipyard with his memory, pointed to the map and said: "This is the labor shipyard, as long as we can bring Li Dan to our Daifuku ship, the rescue will be successful, there are many people during the day, we can only do it at night, I observed, the hard labor shipyard is heavily guarded on the land side, and even if we rescue Li Dan from the cell, if we want to bring Li Dan to our Daifuku ship from the land, we must pass through the dock, there are many Spanish merchant ships on the dock, There are also many indigenous Filipinos, and if we alarm them, our rescue operation will be tantamount to failure! So I'm going to figure it out from the side of the sea! ……”

Hearing Guo Zhiyuan say this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they offered suggestions one after another, and soon formulated a complete rescue plan. The next day, Guo Zhiyuan found Felisa again, saying that he saw his friend yesterday, and heard him say that life in the hard labor shipyard was very hard, so he wanted to send some daily necessities to let him improve his life, Fei Lisa also went to the hard labor shipyard yesterday, naturally knew how miserable life was in that environment, and was quite sympathetic, so he did not shirk, and readily agreed to help Guo Zhiyuan again.

At the moment, the two of them did the same, and they left the royal city of Manila like yesterday, and came to the hard labor shipyard again, so Andrew saw Felisa coming again and thought that he had gone lucky and got the favor of the goddess, where would he think more, and took Felisa around again, Guo Zhiyuan found Li Dan again and handed him a bag of things.

"What?!" The Spanish sailor who had a conflict with Li Dan yesterday came out of nowhere, pointed to the package in Li Dan's hand and asked sharply.

Li Dan looked at Guo Zhiyuan a little nervously, but Guo Zhiyuan said unhurriedly: "Miss Felisa thinks that the hard labor here is too pitiful, and she sympathizes with them, so let me send them some food and medicine......"

The Spanish sailor hesitated, Felisa was Acuña's daughter, obviously not something he could afford to offend, but he was unwilling to let Li Dan go, and pointed to the package in Li Dan's hand and said, "Open it and check!" ”

Li Dan was still a little hesitant, Guo Zhiyuan must have a plan to rescue him when he came again, in case there were any secret items in the package, it would be bad if he opened it and was discovered by the Spanish sailor, Guo Zhiyuan guessed his concerns, and glanced at him, meaning to reassure him, Li Dan opened the package.

The Spanish sailor looked at it, and only put a long loaf of bread and some wound medicine in the package, so he snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but he didn't leave, obviously he didn't want Guo Zhiyuan to have too much contact with Li Dan, a dangerous person, Guo Zhiyuan saw that the Spanish sailor refused to leave, and he didn't stay too long, pointing to the long bread and saying: "Uncle Li, you eat more bread, it's good for your body!" ......" and left.

Li Dan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and most of the secrets of knowing whether he could be saved were in this bread, so he hurriedly wrapped the package again and held it firmly in his arms, and the Spanish sailor felt bored when he saw that Guo Zhiyuan had left, so he snorted coldly and left!

After the Spanish sailor walked away, Li Dan glanced at several Chinese prisoners around him, lowered his voice and said, "You can help me block it!" Li Dan quickly squatted down and picked up the bread under the cover of everyone, and carefully broke the bread, and as he expected, there was something in the bread --- a small file. There was also a note attached to it. This note was naturally written by Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan introduced his rescue plan in detail on the note, the small file was used by Li Dan to file the shackles on his feet, and there was white phosphorus powder that could be used to ignite the fire in the wound medicine, Guo Zhiyuan asked Li Dan to use a file to file the shackles on his feet and the window bars at night, and then use the white phosphorus powder to set fire outside after escaping, and then those Spanish guards will inevitably be in chaos in order to fight the fire, Li Dan can take advantage of the chaos to jump into the sea and swim eastward, and there will be a small boat not far from him to meet him!

Li Dan was shocked after reading the note, he didn't try to escape during this time, but because the Spaniards were heavily guarded, none of them succeeded, but they suffered a lot because of it, compared to the escape plans he came up with himself, Guo Zhiyuan's rescue plan was more feasible, if he only bowed down to Guo Zhiyuan because of Baidu's jade pendant before, but now he was really impressed by this young and witty Ming envoy.

Li Dan read the note twice, rolled it into a small ball, chewed it in his mouth and swallowed it, then carefully put away the small file and the medicinal powder, and took the opportunity to find a few of his henchmen, whispered to them, and asked them to cooperate with him.

Finally waited for the evening, the Spaniards attached great importance to Li Dan, and in order to prevent him from connecting with his men, they deliberately detained him in solitary confinement and let him live in a cell alone, but now it gave Li Dan a convenient opportunity to act. The air in the prison cell was a little drowsy, and Li Dan, who was usually tired after a day's work, would have already fallen asleep.

At this time, Li Dan naturally couldn't sleep, while lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep, he used a small file to rub the willow nails on his handcuffs and leg cuffs, Li Dan worked as a blacksmith, this kind of work naturally couldn't help him, so he quickly smoothed the willow nails on his handcuffs and foot cuffs, and removed the handcuffs. He rolled over and stood up, first leaned to the cell door, listened carefully to the movement outside, and after making sure that it was all right, he took advantage of the moonlight, stuffed his handcuffs and pillows into his thin quilt, and reluctantly posed as a person. Then he tiptoed to the window and began to file the iron bars on the window with a file.

It is not easy to file the iron bars, Li Dan has to file the one hand, on the other hand, he has to be careful not to make a sound, and at the same time his ears have to be erected to listen vigilantly to the surrounding movements, and he was busy until it was close to midnight, Li Dan filed and broke the three iron bars, he rested, and it took nearly half an hour to file the remaining two.
