Chapter 68, the human heart is unpredictable
Ziyi coughed lightly: "Although you are known as the god of war, time has passed, and you are no longer suitable to lead the Qin army." Leave it to me, you can rest assured, I will definitely revive Great Qin. ”
Bai Qi didn't even say a word. Ziyi knew that it was better to start early, and if he delayed for a moment, maybe there would be some variables, so he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and several Qin soldiers stepped forward, two of them pressed Bai Qi's upper body, two of them held his legs, and then two more people, holding a rope the thickness of their thumbs, wrapped around his neck.
Seeing that he was ready, Ziyi said softly: "General, you go on the road." ”
With a nod of words, the two Qin soldiers holding the rope began to start one by one, pulling it up hard, and they were about to strangle Bai Qi to death.
But at this time, suddenly there was a strange laugh from the beam of the roof, everyone was startled, looked up, and before they could see clearly, a large patch of white ash powder was sprinkled on the beam, which immediately spread throughout the cell, everyone was choked, coughing non-stop, and some people also had white ash in their eyes, and screamed in pain.
Ziyi was shocked, he knew that someone was trying to save Bai Qi, and now he didn't care about the scene of hanging himself, he pulled out his waist knife, groped to separate the Qin soldiers, and chopped his head to the position where Bai Qi sat in the middle.
But it was too late, he slashed it with a knife, and he actually cut it empty, and Bai Qi was no longer there.
Ziyi shouted: "Seal the prison door, don't let it go......"
But the soldiers have been fascinated, how can they distinguish the east, west, north and south, can only grope towards the prison door, Ziyi rushed to the prison door to take a look, can't help but be shocked, at this time the prison door was wide open, several Qin troops outside the door have been knocked to the ground, rolling, and Bai Qi, has long disappeared.
Ziyi stomped his feet, annoyed, he knew that with Bai Qi's ability, if he escaped, he would definitely come to retaliate in the future, don't look at what he said, time has passed, Bai Qi is no longer worthy of being called the god of war, but from the bottom of his heart, he is still scared to death. After all, the battle that Bai Qi fought was there, and the people Bai Qi had killed were only afraid that there were more people than he had seen, and if he really wanted to meet on the battlefield, he would be tied up with ten, and he would not be able to defeat half of Bai Qi.
He must not be allowed to escape from Huayin alive.
Ziyi immediately sent someone to inform the four gates, closed the city gates, and did not let anyone out of the city, and then hurriedly came to see Fan Ju.
When Fan Ju heard this, he was also surprised, and hurriedly ordered all the Qin troops to go out and search from house to house, so as to catch Bai Qi and correct the law on the spot.
For a time, there was chaos in Huayin City.
Besides, he himself is confused. When the rope was put around his neck, Bai Qi knew that he was going to die, die again, and this time he would never come back to life.
He is not afraid of death, he just hates, hates why he is in Fan Ju's way again. If he died last time, he was a little wronged, then this time, he really deserved it.
The rope began to tighten, and he began to have difficulty breathing, and he became more and more breathless, and just when Bai Qi thought that he was going to die, suddenly a large cloud of white ash dust was sprinkled on the roof, which saved his life.
Holding him down and the Qin soldiers who were about to strangle him invariably relaxed their hands, because they wanted to rub their eyes and cover their noses, Bai Qi had his eyes closed all the time, so his eyes were unharmed. But he didn't know what was happening.
At this moment, Bai Qi felt that a person fell beside him, this person pulled him up, rushed out of the cell, and ran towards the door, this person was very light and fast, when he rushed out of the prison, Bai Qi opened his eyes and saw that there were several masked people standing in front of him, several Qin soldiers had already been knocked to the ground, and the person who pulled him was also masked in a black scarf, and he couldn't see his face, only a pair of bright eyes like water.
These people did not hesitate at all, and as soon as they saw Bai Qi coming out of the prison door, a tall man picked him up, turned around and ran. The group soon got into the dark alley.
When he didn't run for a while, whistles rang out throughout the city, and countless chaotic footsteps sounded, and it seemed that the Qin army had begun to hunt him down.
The group of masked men did not panic, ran into a small alley, there was a back door in the alley, after opening it, everyone entered, and closed the back door tightly, until they came to the backyard, entered a grass hut, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
The masked man, who had sprinkled white ash powder, came to the kang, lifted the mattress and mat, and lifted a wooden plank, revealing a hole underneath it, and a ladder underneath, which appeared to be a basement. The crowd went in, and the masked man restored the kang to its original state.
At this moment, there was a knock on the gate, and it seemed that the Qin army had come to search.
The masked man changed his costume and went to open the door, and after a while, a group of Qin soldiers walked to this room, rummaged around, and saw that there was no place to hide people, so they went out, and searched the courtyard again, but found nothing, so they said to the master and went out to search for other houses.
The master waited for a while, and saw that no one had come to search the place, so he turned out the lights, pretended to be asleep, and secretly came to the thatched hut, lifted the wooden planks on the kang, and walked down the ladder to the basement.
At this time, the oil lamp had been lit in the basement, and someone had removed the white iron shackles and was wiping off the white ash on his head and body for him. ”
Bai Qi glanced at this person, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Miss Wu, it turned out to be your ......"
This person is Wu Xinlan, and the other masked people are her men. These people are all armed with martial arts, so it is not too difficult to overturn those Qin troops.
Bai Qi still didn't understand: "Miss Wu, why did you come to save me?" ”
Wu Xinlan smiled: "To be honest, I was entrusted by Mr. Zhang Yi to observe every move in your Qin army." ”
Bai Qi's heart fluttered: "Mr. Zhang Yi? ”
Wu Xinlan nodded: "When you left Huayin for the first time, Mr. Zhang came to me to resign, but I didn't see him, so he submitted a letter to me and asked me to be the brocade guard of your Qin army." Thanks to him, he knows the word Jinyiwei, which shows that he has read a lot. I was reluctant at first, because as soon as you left, I didn't know what to come back, but then I heard that the Qin army was defeated, and Mr. Zhang Yi didn't know whether to die or live, in case he was going to die, then this letter was his last wish, so I felt that I should do my part. Fortunately, you quickly regained possession of Huayin, and I fulfilled my promise to observe the movements of the Qin army. When you were convicted and arrested, I quickly heard about it, and I thought it was strange that you, General Bai, were not such a person. So I sneaked into the prison, but I didn't expect to hear the conversation between Fan Ju and you soon. ”
Bai Qi was taken aback: "When I talked to Fan Ju, you were in prison?" ”
Wu Xinlan smiled proudly: "I was hiding on the beam and hiding my figure, so naturally you don't know." If you find out, wouldn't my twenty years of hard work be in vain? ”
Bai Qi sighed: "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise no third party will know about my grievances." ”
Wu Xinlan said: "What do you want to do in the future?" ”
Bai Qi said: "At this time, the Qin army already thinks that I am a traitor and will not take me in anymore, and as long as he sees me, he will definitely correct the law on the spot, and Fan Ju must have issued a death order." Therefore, I first have to escape from Huayin. Then look for a place to go. ”
Wu Xinlan said: "If you want to get out of Huayin City, it is too difficult, because of your appearance, all the Qin troops are familiar with it." As soon as you go out on the street, you will be discovered. ”
Bai Qi suddenly sneered: "If you want to talk about conspiracy and planting people, Fan Ju and other columnists can be called the first in the world, and no one can match it." But if you want to talk about killing people and setting fires, stealing camps and robbing villages, attacking the east and west, and hiding from the world and the sea, he is not qualified to be my apprentice. ”
Wu Xinlan said: "Do you have a way to get out of the city?" ”
Bai Qi said: "God has given me not to die, and he will give me escape." It's just that this matter still needs the girl's strong help to be done. Wu Xinlan smiled slightly: "Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, how do you want me to help, just say." Bai Qi said: "The search in the city is very strict, and there is only one thing that can make them have no time to take care of me." ”
Wu Xinlan said: "What's the matter?" ”
Bai Qi said: "Naturally, the Ming army is attacking the city." Wu Xinlan said: "You want me to spread rumors?" Bai nodded: "This is one of them, as long as I hear that the Ming army is coming to attack the city, Fan Ju and Ziyi will definitely go all out to prepare for the war, and they will no longer search for me from house to house." Second, you need to be so ......."
He explained in a low voice, and Wu Xinlan nodded again and again: "Good plan, good plan...... I'll do it for you tomorrow! ”
The next morning, Fan Ju sat in the back hall of the county government with a solemn face.
Because after a whole night of searching, I didn't see Bai Qi's shadow, this guy must have been hidden, according to Ziyi, Bai Qi was rescued by a group of people, this group of people is not like Qin Jun, it is likely that Bai Qi made friends privately. At present, Ziyi is still leading people to search, and I believe that Bai Qi will not escape from Huayin City.
At this time, a scout hurriedly reported: there were rumors that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, would personally lead his men and horses to exterminate Huayin, and he also urgently ordered several people and horses to enter Shanxi to pass through Tongguan and jointly suppress them.
When Fan Ju heard this, he was taken aback, during this time in Shaanxi, the Qin army already knew Hong Chengchou's prestige, and his subordinates Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu and others were all fierce generals, and the men and horses led by them were very brave.
Thinking of this, Fan Ju hurriedly ordered to send more scouts to the Quartet to investigate, and then Su Ziyi came to discuss the enemy's strategy.
Not long after Ziyi came, when he heard the news, he was also surprised, if the situation is true, Huayin City must not be defended, and it must be withdrawn to protect the Qin army.
However, Ziyi frowned: "Bai Qi hasn't been caught yet, in case he escapes while the chaos is ......"
Fan Ju's eyes suddenly cold: "You say, could this be a rumor created by Bai Qi?" You know, it was a group of people who rescued him, and it is very likely that they came out to spread rumors. Ziyi suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Fan Xiang is right, it is very likely that it is a rumor...... Fan Ju said: "I have sent scouts to investigate in many ways, and you are still vigorously searching for Bai Qi ...... in the city"
As he was talking, someone suddenly came to report that there was a woodcutter asking to see him. Fan Ju was stunned: "What's the matter with him?" The Qin soldier said: "He said that he saw the person we were searching for." ”
