On the filthy wheat straw, there were more than a dozen people, all of them haggard and covered in blood.

In the corner, a woman with a baby in her arms, her hair disheveled, her eyes glazed over, and she was delirious and muttering something over and over again. She shook the baby in her arms rhythmically, but the baby was no longer breathing. A young girl leaned against the bars of her cell, a deep blood mark on her cheek, cutting across her neck and reaching her half-exposed chest. She clutched a black cloak in her hand, but it didn't seem to be intended to cover her body. Under the torn Luo skirt, a pair of originally white legs were covered with bruises.

Li Zhong let out a choked wail in his throat, and fell to his knees in front of the girl with a thud.

"Afu ......"

The girl named Afu did not hear his call, and leaned against the fence in silence and despair.

Qing Ling tried her best to control herself, but her voice trembled a little after all, "She...... She's your sister? ”

Li Zhong slammed his fist on the cell door, turned his head to look at Qing Ling, his face full of tears, "Didn't you say that they were just waiting to be punished?" Since the charges have not been convicted, why ...... Why ......" In the end, I couldn't cry.

Qing Ling pinched his palm, half-knelt in front of Li Zhong, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'll find out who hurt them, I'll ......."

She had never seen such a scene in her life. Even if you are gambling in Lingxiao City, how can you know all kinds of shameless cruel deeds in this prison?

But she understood that it all started with her ambitious and calculating father.

Since Lieyang's raid on Xianxia Pass, Emperor Hao has not stopped conducting thorough investigations and arrests in the south. Hundreds of people were imprisoned for being accused of colluding with Jiuqiu. Among them, there may be real people who are at fault, but a large part of them are just innocent people like Afu who were innocently implicated, bearing charges that they had never committed and lost their lives.

Now it seems that everything Emperor Hao did was just to force a wider range of objections, so that Chao Yan would have an excuse to justifiably send troops to the south!

Qing Ling's heart sounded with wanton laughter, full of ridicule.

This is your father, this is your blood! Count all the people in the world, and I still want to have a reputation for purging demons and making achievements for eternity!

Yuan Qing dragged Qing Ling and Li Zhong up with one hand.

"Now is not the time to hold accountable. You both calm down! ”

He said to Li Zhong: "The prohibition set by the Qilin Jade Plate is limited in scope, and it can only cover the movements of up to four people at a time. You and Qing Ling send the two out first, and then come back to pick up the rest. Do you understand? ”

Then he turned to Qing Ling and said, "You unseal the organ and use the phantom sound to control the people in several nearby cells. I managed to open the cell door and let Lai Chung in and bring out his family. ”

Before leaving the palace, the three of them had already discussed the steps. Take advantage of the night to bring out Li Zhong's family, and then leave Yinzhou City in the early morning when the city gate opens. Although there are guards patrolling inside and outside the dungeon, it will take some time to discover that a few of the hundreds of prisoners are missing, and then report them to the next level. Qing Ling suggested that he could temporarily take people to Wutong Town to hide outside the Nine Hills. Now that the big battle is imminent, Chaoyan's garrison has withdrawn from Wutong Town early in the morning, and when the matter is revealed, the pursuers will not dare to search over there.

But all of this, the premise of success, must be to quietly rescue people without alerting the guards.

Yuan Qing's words alerted the two people who were emotionally out of control. Qing Ling wiped his face, quickly unsealed the organ, sat down cross-legged, and concentrated all his energy to play a bewildering music.

She has been cultivating for several months, her spiritual power has increased greatly, and her control of the wind phantom sound has become more proficient, and she can grasp the strength and range very well. Yuanqing removed part of the prohibition and let a wisp of piano music escape leisurely. After a short time, the prisoners in the front and back cells gradually lost their sight and their minds were blurred.

Yuan Qing removed the prohibition of the unicorn jade plate and reached out to touch the fence of the cell. He has cultivated the wood spirit under the teaching of Mo Qian since he was a child, and his skills are pure and profound, and he should be the first among the disciples of Chongwu. Under the urging of the divine sense, the wooden fence under the palm immediately bent and deformed, forming a gap that could accommodate one person to pass through.

Li Zhong bent down into the cell and quickly found his parents against the wall. He picked up his mother, tried not to look at her scars, gritted his teeth, and sent her out of the pen.

Yuan Qing supported Li Zhong's mother, but there was a trace of inexplicable panic in his heart.

He bent the wooden fence with his divine power, thinking that the fence in the dungeon of this casting platform would be made of the highest grade divine wood, so he used eighty percent of his strength at the beginning, but he didn't expect that what his palm touched was only ordinary oak.

In retrospect, everything that was done tonight seems a little too easy.........

Li Zhong picked up his father, walked to the prison door, turned his head to look at his younger brother Ah Xun who was curled up in the corner, and then looked at Ah Fu who was leaning against the fence with a lifeless face, and said softly with tears: "Don't be afraid, my brother will come back soon." ”

In the cell, there were several of his uncles and cousins, but Li Zhong did not dare to look at them again. Those brothers of the same clan who had leaned on the horse leaning bridge with him and chatted freely, but now he can only choose to give up!

Yuan Qing handed over Li Zhong's mother to Qing Ling, "You must be cautious in your actions, no matter what accidents you encounter, you must not reveal your traces." In case," paused, "don't come back to me if something happens along the way." I'll figure it out! ”

Qing Ling listened to what his senior brother said solemnly, and he didn't feel a little suspicious.

"Fourth Senior Brother......"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a loud bang above her head, rumbling through the dark dungeon.

Immediately after, the sound of hurried but neat footsteps came from below to their location!

Yuan Qingwan suddenly came to his senses, "It's not good! They closed the iron gates. It's an ambush! ”

He helped Li Zhong's mother back from Qingling's arm, carried her back into the cell, and quickly ordered Li Zhong: "Little Wu, send your father back quickly!" ”

If the guards can't find a flaw, the three of them may be able to escape with the help of the Qilin Jade Card to set up a stealth trick. But if a prisoner is lost, not only this casting platform, but also the entire Yinzhou may be banned! The other party deliberately set up an ambush, and he must want to make a big move, and when the time comes, it will be more than just their three brothers and sisters who will be implicated?

Li Zhong has just seen his relatives again, and he is willing to push his parents into the fire pit again. He hugged his father tightly, unable to take half a step under his feet, "No! I'm going to get them out! ”

Yuan Qing flashed out of the cell, stretched out his hand to snatch his father in Li Zhong's arms, and said anxiously: "Little Wu! There are priorities! You have to save them, and there will be a chance in the future! ”

If Li Zhong hadn't seen the scene in this dungeon, he might have been persuaded and agreed to think in the long run, but at this time, he was in this bloody hell, full of relatives who had been tortured beyond recognition, and he couldn't let go no matter what!

"Fourth Senior Brother, I beg you......" He shook his head in confusion, his lips were already bitten and bleeding, "I must save them......"

The sound of footsteps approached, and the stone wall at the end of the porch reflected the figures of heavily armored soldiers, elongated in the dim light of torches.

Qing Ling's heart was horizontal, and he stuffed the unicorn jade card into Yuan Qing's hand, "You guys are invisible first!" I'll find a way to get you out! I'm the Emperor of Chaoyan, and they won't do anything to me! Fast! ”

Seeing that the guards who were at the forefront had already stepped into the prison corridor, Yuan Qing could no longer hesitate, and quickly recited the secret of his heart, and hid the figures of himself, Li Zhong, and his mother.

Qing Ling raised his head to look at the approaching heavily armored soldier, and the hands behind him gradually clenched.

Soldier A separates to the sides, and the two men walk out in the center. The former is dressed in a blue brocade robe with silver silk flowing cloud patterns, and the jade belt around his waist hangs with a red jade fire lotus waist, his face is like white jade, his eyes are like peach blossoms, and the person behind him is heroic and upright, and his appearance is handsome.

Mu Han saluted Qingling, "I heard that Sister Wang went to Chongwu Qingxiu, why did she suddenly come to Yinzhou and appear in this casting platform late at night?" ”

Although he was inquiring, there was no trace of surprise in his tone, thinking that he had insight into Qing Ling's whereabouts early in the morning.

Qing Ling didn't care about the details, and said with a stiff face: "Where do I want to go, I don't need to explain to you, right?" You brought so many people here, don't you still plan to ask me for the guilt? ”

Mu Han said: "Sister Wang is too worried. This is an important place for felons, but whenever there is any trouble, there are naturally guards to come to check. ”

He glanced sideways at the entourage beside him. The retinue immediately understood, and stepped forward to count the number of people in the cell.

Mu Han glanced at the bars of the bent cell, and raised his eyebrows to look at Qing Ling, "Sister Wang has lived in Chongwu for more than half a year, and her cultivation has really improved." ”

He used to talk to Qing Ling, because he took into account his identity and age, and he was polite and respectful on the surface. But now there is a sense of superiority in the palm of her hand, and it is difficult to hide her condescending pride.

Qing Ling realized something and sneered: "I just don't go back to Chongwu to cultivate, and it will be easy to deal with you." ”

The person who counted the number of people returned and said, "Prince, there is one less prisoner!" ”

Mu Han raised his peach blossom eyes and stared at Qing Ling, "The people imprisoned here are all felons who were personally ordered by my father to discuss crimes. How does Sister Wang plan to explain? ”

Qing Ling said: "Joke! What does it matter to me if there is one less prisoner, what explanation do you ask me for? ”

Mu Han was not in a hurry, "That's good." He turned his head and instructed his followers: "Since someone in the cell escaped, it must have been helped by the rest of the people." You will lead someone to escort out the remaining prisoners here, and directly convict and dispose of them! ”

"You dare!"

Qing Ling involuntarily took a step back and guarded the prison door, "These people are all prisoners who have been ordered by the father to discuss the crime, how dare you convict without trial?" ”

At this time, Mo Ninghao, who had been standing behind Mu Han's side, took a step forward and answered: "Emperor Ji is reasonable. Naturally, it is necessary to interrogate before being convicted. ”

He turned around and summoned a heavily armored soldier, "You pick a few young and fearful people, take them down and interrogate them well, and make sure they recruit the whole story." ”

When Qing Ling heard this, he regretted his gaffe, but the other party was obviously prepared, and there was no other way but to endure at this time.

Mo Nan Nanhao is a deputy general in the army, and he was ordered to defend Yinzhou City, and his command is the most elite sergeant of the Mo Nan clan. The heavily armored soldier bowed down to receive the order, stepped forward to open the cell door, and dragged out Afu, who was leaning against the door.

Afu's mind was originally trapped by the phantom sound of the wind, and the whole person was just confused and unconscious, but at this moment, he was vigorously dragged by someone, and gradually woke up, and the cloak he was holding in his hand slipped to the ground, revealing the torn hem of his clothes, and the scars on his skin that had been ravaged were everywhere.

She let out a mournful whimper in her hoarse voice, desperately trying to break free from the sergeant's grip.

Qing Ling trembled all over, and glared at Mo Nan Nanhao angrily, "Master Mo Nan, do you usually humiliate prisoners like this?" ”

Mo Nanninghao frowned and said, "The matter of punishment and prison has its own rules. The emperor's status is noble, so why bother to get to the bottom of it? ”

Qing Ling's fists clenched and trembled.

It is true that she can save Afu, but who can guarantee that the next one dragged out will not be Li Zhong's father?

With such hard work and calculations, I'm afraid that their purpose is not just to capture fugitives, right?

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a ghostly light flashing behind him, and Li Zhong suddenly broke through the prohibition of the unicorn jade plate, pounced on the sergeant who was holding Afu, knocked him down violently, and picked up his sister and hugged him tightly.

Mu Han was waiting for this moment, and when he saw this, he quickly retreated into the heavy armor, and quickly ordered: "Take down the prison robber!" If you resist, you will be killed! ”
