Shangyuan Festival (8)

Li Sanlang rode his horse through the streets of Shendu as fast as he could, at this moment he didn't dare to delay for a moment, he wanted to rush to the forbidden army prison as soon as possible to confirm whether the people imprisoned there were as usual, for fear that it would cause more trouble, he knew in his heart that the crisis in Shendu was far from being resolved. He even vaguely thought that last night's incident was not a failure of the plan, but more like part of a conspiracy, but he was not sure what it was, and he could only have peace of mind if he made sure that everyone was still in prison.

The forbidden army prison was already heavily guarded, and the 3,000-Yu Lin army transferred overnight was even more surrounded by the already iron barrel-like prison at this moment, Li Sanlang dismounted in advance and carefully inspected the prison defense; Due to the special detainees, Chen Xuanli was personally responsible for leading the army on duty at this moment, and when he saw Li Sanlang here, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Li Sanlang was very satisfied with the deployment, saw Chen Xuanli, nodded approvingly, and asked, "How is the situation here?" Is there something unusual? ”

Chen Xuanli replied: "Back to Li Sicheng, just in case, the last general will be on duty here overnight, and I didn't see anything abnormal." ”

At this moment, there were footsteps behind him, Li Sanlang turned to look, it turned out to be Li Ke and Pei Min, the two looked grim, as if there was something important, Li Sanlang hurriedly asked: "Li Duwei, Pei Daxia, the two of you are here, but there is something important?" ”

Li Ke handed the note in his hand to Li Sanlang, and whispered: "The two of us wanted to come here to inspect the prisoners, but unexpectedly, Li Sicheng also arrived here, and it just so happened that we had an urgent matter to report. ”

Li Sanlang cautiously opened the note in his hand, and when he saw the words on the note, he was shocked for a moment, and wanted to ask, but Li Ke attached it to Li Sanlang's ear and whispered to Li Sanlang about today's events. ”

Li Ke looked left and right, and continued to whisper: "As I expected, it should be from... Red-haired Yama! ”

Li Sanlang was a little unexpected, and asked in a low voice: "How could it be him?" Why didn't he show up? And the plate to tell each other? ”

Li Ke sighed and replied, "Li Sicheng, it seems that we are going to prepare for the worst, and what we are facing is really not an ordinary opponent. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Sanlang's face was full of doubts, and he continued to ask: "Captain Li, what do you mean?" ”

Li Ke said: "I can't hide it, in my opinion, the red-haired Yama should act for self-preservation. ”

Li Sanlang was even more puzzled when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice: "Self-protection? ”

Li Ke nodded, and continued: "The red-haired Yama is strong in martial arts, and his hands and eyes are all over the sky, so it stands to reason that he doesn't need to do this at all, but since the ghost market was destroyed, he has disappeared out of thin air, and there has been no news for many days, and he has not delivered news to us in this way until today; It is expected that he also knows that the enemy he faces is not ordinary, and if his actions are exposed, he will be worried about his life, so he is so cautious! ”

Li Sanlang couldn't help but show nervousness, and sighed in a low voice: "Even people like him are forced to do this!" Could it be that the one who is in prison is not the real Kedo? ”

Li Ke nodded lightly and replied: "According to the following opinion, it must be so, otherwise since Keduo has been arrested, why should he be like this?" ”

Li Sanlang didn't say anything more, immediately waved his hand, and said, "Hurry up!" So, he took Li Ke and others into the forbidden army prison.

The structure of the forbidden army prison is like a fortress, with an urn city to prevent anyone from forcibly robbing the prison, and there are archers waiting around the high platform, if ordinary people come to attack, there is no possibility of attacking. The forbidden army prison is the same as the Long'an Division prison, to avoid anyone escaping, and the cell is also built underground, Chen Xuanli led the three of them directly to the deepest part of the prison; Each floor of the cell is heavily guarded, layer by layer to check the password, with the lesson of the last Long'an Si robbery, this time Chen Xuanli also has experience in arming, each layer of personnel standing guard layout has a clear number of regulations, in this way, which position of the number of people is less or more, can be distinguished at a glance, where the two adjacent people are required to recognize each other, in order to avoid someone from mixing; Li Ke secretly glanced at Li Sanlang, although he looked a little nervous, but he could see that he was still very satisfied with the deployment of the prison, Li Ke couldn't help but secretly sigh that Chen Xuanli's ability to do things was indeed incomparable to ordinary people.

With Chen Xuanli behind, several people finally came to the bottom floor of the cell, the number of sergeants stationed here is the most, almost twice the number of people on the upper floors, a total of six prisoners were imprisoned last night, namely Qi Le, Wei Ling, Xue Liang and the three women pretending to be Princess Arzina, who are being held in different rooms on this floor at the moment, in order to prevent collusion, their respective cells have a certain distance. Originally, the brightness of the lowest layer was the worst, but in order to guard these six people, Chen Xuanli deliberately added many lamps to this floor, and the cell was like daylight, and everyone's every move was clearly under the supervision of the guards.

Li Sanlang followed Chen Xuanli's inspection of the cell by cell, the six prisoners were all in the cell, sitting quietly, closing their eyes and saying nothing, Chen Xuanli whispered: "Li Sicheng, these six people have been like this since they arrived in the prison, and there has been no communication with each other. ”

Li Sanlang listened, did not reply, just nodded slightly, Li Ke saw the six people like this, but he couldn't help but start to look a little uneasy, Li Sanlang saw this, and asked in a low voice: "Li Duwei, do you think there is anything wrong?" ”

Li Ke shook his head, pulled Li Sanlang aside, and whispered: "Back to Li Sicheng, the state of these six people is not right!" ”

Li Sanlang didn't understand what Li Ke meant, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Ke looked back at the few people in the prison again, and continued: "It stands to reason that if you are imprisoned here, you will either despair, or try to get away with it, or you will be restless, but it will never be so calm, and the six people who are imprisoned cannot have the same temperament, so I think this is definitely not what being imprisoned here should be, they are more like... It's more like waiting for something together. ”

When he first saw the few people who were detained, Li Sanlang also felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what the problem was, and now after Li Ke reminded him, he suddenly understood that as Li Ke said, they didn't look like they were captured at all, thinking of this, Li Sanlang continued to ask in a low voice: "Then according to Li Duwei's opinion, they are waiting... What the? ”

Li Ke looked at Li Sanlang and said word by word: "Kule Duotina!" ”

Although Li Sanlang was mentally prepared, when he really heard Li Ke say this, he couldn't help but be shocked, what is this? What are they willing to take the initiative to be imprisoned, do they really have such a big confidence to turn the whole situation around?

Li Sanlang said angrily: "As Li Duwei said, then what should we do at this moment? ”

Li Ke looked around, and finally led Li Sanlang to the door of one of the cells, where Xue Liang was being held, Li Ke looked at Xue Liang in the cell, he was sitting precariously with his eyes closed. Li Ke immediately said, "Mr. Xue, Li has come to see you." ”

Xue Liang heard the voice of the person who came clearly, slowly opened his eyes, showed a hint of imperceptible smile, and replied coldly: "It turned out to be the Captain of the Divine Dragon, Lord Li!" How can you have the leisure to come to visit Xue in this prison? ”

Li Ke replied: "Mr. Xue, why are you so persistent? What is it for? ”

Xue Liang smiled coldly again and replied: "The person who defeated the army is not worth talking about, Xue is just waiting for death in this prison?" Master Li, why bother talking about it? ”

Li Ke thought for a while and continued to ask: "Mr. Xue, you are a smart person, can't you see that I have seen through your plan, and the Qiler in the cell next door is not the real Keduo?" As soon as these words came out, Li Ke stared at Xue Liang's face tightly, trying to find some clues from his subtle expression to confirm his inference.

But Li Ke was disappointed, and after saying this, Xue Liang's face did not change, but said coldly: "Lord Li, now that the matter is over, why use this language to provoke you?" He suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Li Ke, and said, "As you say, Zeller is indeed not a Keduo!" As soon as he said this, Li Ke and Li Sanlang were shocked, and hurriedly stared at Xue Liang tightly, expecting what he would say next.

Xue Liang continued: "There is no Keduo in this world, just like Yuan Liang in the Dayuan Inn, it is just a code name, and some are just people who act; Now that we have been defeated, we have nothing to say. ”

Li Ke and Li Sanlang were disappointed when they heard this, and Li Ke said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Xue is not going to tell Li the truth." ”

Xue Liang suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "The truth? Lord Li, what Xue said is the truth! ”

Li Ke continued: "Then dare to ask Mr. Xue, what is Kule Duoti? ”

Li Ke asked, Xue Liang laughed louder, Li Ke looked at Xue Liang who was laughing wildly and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, Xue Liang finally stopped laughing, and said coldly: "What is that Kulerdotti!" It depends on Master Li's creation! ”

Li Ke was immediately furious and continued to ask loudly, but Xue Liang slowly closed his eyes, and no matter what Li Ke asked, he would not say a word; Li Sanlang saw that it should be fruitless to continue, so he grabbed Li Ke and shook his head gently, Li Ke looked at Li Sanlang, even if he was unwilling, he could only sigh, and gradually calmed down, he knew Xue Liang's temperament, if he refused to say something, it was futile to think that it would go on like this.

Finally, Li Sanlang spoke: "Let's go." ”

Li Ke looked at Xue Liang again, but he was still expressionless, so Li Ke bowed to Xue Liang and said, "Anyway, Li is still grateful to Mr. Xue for his help and exempted me from my guilt!" In the future, I hope that Mr. will do it himself! ”

Seeing that Xue Liang was still indifferent, Li Ke could only turn around and follow Li Sanlang out of the forbidden army prison.
