Chapter 726: Escape
Seeing that he was about to escape from prison, Zhan Ge ran at the front with a few people, followed by Yan Wushuang, Phoenix and Si Kou.
Suddenly, Zhan Ge's footsteps stopped abruptly, and Yan Wushuang saw clearly the light and fire not far away through Zhan Ge.
Several people walked out of the gate of the prison, sticking to the cold wall, Zhan Ge pointed to the carriage parked under the wall, Yan Wushuang nodded, and took the phoenix and Si Kou into the carriage.
The carriage was wrapped in black cloth and blended with the night, and there was no moonlight tonight, and if Zhan Ge did not have the ability to see at night, I am afraid it would be difficult to find.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Yan Wushuang was stunned for a moment, it was the eunuch who was the henchman of the lord of the Fenglai country sitting in the center of the carriage, and the eunuch was obviously startled by them.
"Lord Si Kou......" The eunuch saw Si Kou who was the last to board the carriage, and helped Si Kou to sit in the carriage with trembling hands, Yan Wushuang heard the sound outside becoming more and more chaotic, and turned to the window on the side, "Husband, come up!" ”
Choosing this unfamiliar carriage was also a helpless move by Zhan Ge, who sat in front of the carriage fluently, Zhan Ge held a horse whip, "Drive!" ”
Finally, by the time a group of guards arrived at the prison, Zhan Ge had already escaped from the alley next door in a carriage.
In the carriage, the eunuch held Si Kou's hand tightly, "My lord, the slave has finally seen you." ”
Si Kou was curious, why the eunuch of the lord of the country was here, shouldn't he be by the side of the lord, after several inquiries, everyone finally knew the reason why the eunuch was here, it turned out that the old eunuch escaped from the palace and came to prison just to see a few of them.
The old eunuch trembled and said: "Lord Si Kou, I won't tell you, the poison on the lord of the country, the minions are clear, they are all national teachers, it was he who brought the elixir of immortality, and let the lord of the country take it on the night of the full moon, which led to the poison in the body of the lord of the country, the slave begged Lord Si Kou, he must save the lord of the country, the lord of the country ...... him"
As he spoke, the old eunuch burst into tears again, Yan Wushuang had been speculating that the poison on the lord of Fenglai Country was related to the national teacher, but he had never found evidence of the national teacher's poisoning.
Now that there is a confidant eunuch beside the lord of the country to testify, there must be no doubt that the national teacher was poisoned!
Si Kou, who thought the same as Yan Wushuang, smashed his right fist on the frame of the carriage fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "This traitor, I have long known that he has wolf ambitions, but I never dare to believe that he would poison the lord of the country so blatantly."
Zhan Ge naturally heard the conversation of several people in the car, lowered his voice, and said, "Where are we going now?"
Si Kou originally wanted to go back to his mansion, but he thought that he had escaped from prison this time, and the old treacherous and cunning of the national teacher would definitely guard his home, and the old eunuch on the side lifted the curtain and said: "This son, please drive the carriage to the third house at the mouth of the West Lane, which is my private property, and no one knows except me."
Zhan Ge bowed his head, set up the carriage, and hurried in the direction that the old eunuch had said.
After touching a stick of incense, the carriage slowly stopped, Zhan Ge jumped down from the carriage, the old eunuch was the first to get down from the carriage, stepped forward to knock on the door, the little boy guarding the door saw the master, immediately opened the door, and heard the master say: "Tong'er, quickly clean up the guest room for these distinguished guests!"
"Yes, master!" The boy left, and the old eunuch welcomed them to his study.
"Everyone, please be seated!" Zhan Ge and Si Kou bowed their hands to him, and Phoenix and Yan Wu glanced at each other, bowed slightly and sat down.
Xiao Tong quickly brought the tea, closed the door of the study, Si Kou got time to breathe, just thought about how to subdue the national teacher, thinking about it, Si Kou still felt that if he wanted to bring down the national teacher, it was impossible for a few of them alone.
So, Si Kou spoke up: "Father-in-law, can you help me send a few letters?" In the lower part, it is imperative to gather the people in the center of the emperor, and in the lower part, in the court for many years, the temperament of the ministers is clear, just write a letter from the next, I believe that there are still many people willing to stand on our side. ”
So quickly, Si Kou had an idea, and the old eunuch stood up excitedly, "Okay! Good! Good! Si Kou, you say, the slave must do it for the adult. ”
Zhan Ge nodded, feeling that what Si Kou said was reasonable, and in a few years, only Si Kou still had a place in the court of the Fenglai Country, but just by summoning those civil officials, they couldn't resist the national teacher!
Zhan Ge said what he thought in his heart, Si Kou frowned, and said: "I have thought about it too, but now that the soldier is in the national teacher, if you want to mobilize the troops in the city, you will only startle the snake."
The way to move to the national teacher was blocked, but several people couldn't crack it, it was late at this time, Yan Wushuang's face turned slightly pale, and finally just asked the old eunuch to send the letter according to the list provided by Si Kou, and Zhan Ge helped Wushuang and Phoenix to leave the study together.
Soon, the news that Zhan Ge, Yan Wushuang and others had escaped from prison reached the ears of the national teacher, who was furious and almost threw his favorite blue and white porcelain to the ground.
Ling Jing, who was still standing on the side, saw it, stopped the national teacher's movements, clenched his fists and said: "Father, don't be impatient, my son will send someone to arrest them back and hand them over to my father."
The movements of the national teacher's subordinates did stop under Ling Jing's obstruction, handed the blue and white porcelain in his hand to Ruxue on the side, and looked at his son suspiciously.
For him, Ling Jing is just a tool for him to inherit the family lineage, if a son has been obedient and obedient, he naturally doesn't mind letting Ling Jing become his successor, but, after the previous few events, he feels that his son is far from being well-behaved on the surface, but has ruined his plan many times.
In order to let Ling Jing obediently do things for himself, the national teacher bypassed the table and took out a small white porcelain bottle from the wooden pocket on the side, Ruxue naturally understood what was inside, and looked at Ling Jing with a worried look.
Sure enough, the next moment, what the national teacher said confirmed her conjecture.
"Jing'er, it's not that I, the father, don't believe you, but in what happened before, your behavior disappointed your husband too much, so in order for you to successfully complete this task, my father specially prepared this for you, you can rest assured, as long as you catch Si Kou and them back, your father will give you the antidote."
The national teacher's voice fell, Ruxue shook her body quietly, she always thought that her father would always be a little more tolerant of her brother, but she didn't expect that her brother, like herself, was a pawn under him.
wanted to stop Ling Jing from taking the poison, but Ruxue stopped her movements under Ling Jing's hint, and stared at the porcelain bottle in the hand of the national teacher with red lips.
Ling Jing obediently knelt in front of the national teacher and said, "What my father said is very true, it was the son who was careless before, even if the father didn't say it, the son would ask his father for this medicine, just so that his father could feel at ease."
When the national teacher heard Ling Jing's words, the look in his eyes darkened, and although there was not much expression on his face, most of the doubts in his heart dissipated.
"That's what you think?" Ling Jing bowed his head, stood up from the ground, and took a few steps forward, but the porcelain bottle in the hand of the national teacher poured out the red pill inside. Stuff it into your mouth without hesitation.
This series of actions comforted the national teacher, it seems that he was worried about it before, after all, he was his son, how could he betray him, and laughed twice in a comfortable mood.
And Ruxue felt that her brother's behavior of taking poison for those people was not worth it, but she felt sorry for Ling Jing in her heart.
Afterwards, Ling Jing and Ruxue walked out of the national teacher's study together, Ruxue pulled Ling Jing to a corner where no one was around, with a worried face, "Brother, what are you doing here?" Why bother with all this stuff? It doesn't matter to you if they catch it or not, you ......"
Ling Jing stretched out his hand and touched Ruxue's head, with a calm look in his heart, "Xue'er, this move is voluntary on my part, after all, the person my father wants to arrest has too much involvement with me, I have to solve this matter myself, now, my father has begun to stop trusting me, and only in this way can I eliminate the doubts in my father's heart, besides, as long as I arrest them back, my father will definitely give me the antidote, and at that time, I will be fine!" ”
Ling Jing's words did not mention that he wanted to help Zhan Ge and them escape from the clutches of the national teacher, because Ruxue listened to the words of the national teacher too much. Once he explained his intentions, Bi would definitely let the national teacher find out, and on the other hand, Ling Jing also wanted to know the whereabouts of the Zhan Ge people from Ruxue's mouth, and as he expected, his words successfully made Ruxue tell the whereabouts of the Zhan Ge people.
Ruxue Tan could breathe a sigh of relief, not wanting him to be completely abandoned by his father because of this, so he said in a calm voice: "Brother, listen to me, after my people saw them out of prison with their own eyes, even if they saw Xixiang, but it is unknown where they are."
"Good! Thank you Cher! Ling Jing left, and led people to arrest Zhan Ge and them on the surface, but in fact, he led people to the east alley, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards behind him, Ling Jing left him smoothly, turned his head and came to the west alley, and learned that the family at the west alley mouth seemed to have a few more guests yesterday, Ling Jing decided that it was Zhan Ge and them, and quietly sneaked in.
"Who!" Ling Jing wanted to find Zhan Ge, but he didn't expect to enter the house where Si Kou lived by mistake.
"Lord Sikou, it's me!" Si Kou quickly called several other people, Zhan Ge and Yan Wushuang were equally shocked that Ling Jing would suddenly appear, and Si Kou maintained a vigilant posture from beginning to end, which couldn't blame him, who let this young man who suddenly appeared was the son of the national teacher.
Observing Ling Jing's every move, Si Kou soon noticed the black mark faintly appearing on Ling Jing's forehead, and he didn't care about the suspicion in his heart, stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and really saw a black line on his arm.
"What's going on!"
Ling Jing had no choice but to tell them that he had taken his father's poison and obtained a new position before he could come to them.
Phoenix's face was blank, and like Si Kou, he examined Ling Jing's body and shook his head under Zhan Ge's gaze.
The poisoned Ling Jing said calmly: "I don't regret doing this, and I know that you need the talisman now, don't worry, I will help you steal the talisman from your father."
