The long, pointed nails dug deep into the lock cylinder, and with unusual tenacity, a section of the shackles was unexpectedly opened. Yan Tong still hung his head, pretending to be unconscious, he had successfully opened the shackles on his hands, this was all he could do, and the next plan was to lure the guards close to him, and then find an opportunity to kill him to get the key.

The guard has been in prison for a long time, and his responsibility is to take care of Yan Tong, a heavyweight prisoner, but this prisoner looks quite tough, how can he know that he can't help but be beaten, he fainted just after a whip, and Gongsun Ke didn't get anything from Yan Tong's mouth. After Gongsun Ke left, the guards were ordered to take care of the prisoners, and if they found that the prisoners were conscious, they would report back immediately. But several hours had passed, and the prisoner remained motionless as he saw that it was getting dark.

The guards are a little anxious, could it be that they are dead? If you die, you'll be in trouble! The guard couldn't wait any longer, he finally decided to test it, and he began to walk towards Yan Tong. Yan Tong didn't need to open his eyes to see this scene, he already felt that the guard's footsteps were getting closer and closer to him, and in the same way, the opportunity was getting closer and closer to him.

It's good, as long as you take two more steps, you can make a move, and you can kill with one hit. He has injuries on his body, he can't fight, and he must use the fastest speed to deal with the guards. Come, take two more steps, and you're my prey!

At this critical moment, the guard did not move again after taking a step, and he never took this last step. Yan Tong was in a hurry, could it be that the guards found out about their plan? He even wanted to go straight to the distance with his hands.

Yan Tong suddenly raised his head, what he saw was not the guard's face but the guard's back, because the guard was facing away from him. The guard looked in the direction of the cell door, and he heard movement outside, which was becoming more and more intense. He stopped and hesitated for a while, and suddenly shouted, "It's not good, could it be that they killed the general?" ”

However, this problem did not need to be bothered by the guards anymore, because Yan Tong had already simply understood his life, and the guard's head was directly screwed behind his back. Yan Tong really found the key from the guard and successfully opened the shackles on his body.

Yan Tong staggered to the vicinity of the cell door, hid in the dark to observe, and found that there were almost no guards inside the cell, and there was chaos outside. Yan Tong thought for a while, then went back to the cell again, and half an hour later, the guard reappeared near the cell door.

The guard shielded his hands from the already faint sunlight, and it was already evening, and his strange behavior did not attract the attention of the others, for people were all concerned about something more important.

The guard didn't care about what was going on inside the city, and his first goal was to get out of Jinhyeon City smoothly. He walked in the direction of the city gate, and at the gate he met the interrogator, who was wearing the clothes of a cell guard, and when he was thinking about how to explain, the interrogator had already noticed him.

"Hey, you, just say you, come here!"

The guard walked over and whispered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Is General Xiao really dead?"

Such an abrupt question made the guard really puzzled by the second monk, and he almost raised his head and asked.

"The little one has been in the cell to watch the prisoners, and the little one doesn't know."

The person who checked seemed to be very bored, and turned his head to the people around him and said: "It seems to be true, I must have wanted to block the news, but now that the Xuanjia Army is about to kill, there is no way to hide it!" ”

The guard suddenly became interested, and he asked tentatively: "The prisoner of the little guard has been unconscious, and the little one has not been able to return to the commander, so the little one plans to go out of the city to find medicinal materials." The little one grew up in Mobei since he was a child, and he knew that there was a herb that had a good effect on restoring his sanity, so the little one planned to go out of the city. ”

"It's dangerous to get out of the city right now, what do you care about that prisoner? The Xuanjia Army is about to be killed, so let's hurry up and fight! "Originally, the guards even made up the names of the herbs, and where to go directly to the people, they didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Dare to ask your lordship, what is going on in this city?"

"General Shen was killed a few days ago, you should know about this, right?" The guard nodded, and then the interrogator continued: "General Xiao of the Xuanjia Army, that is, the fourth prince of the previous dynasty, was taken as a hostage, and he was going to find out the truth, but I don't know how, I heard that the commander directly killed General Xiao this morning!" Well, now the news has reached Yecang City, but the Xuanjia Army is unwilling to give up, I heard that the army has been sent to crusade! ”

The guard's eyes lit up, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and he lowered his voice and said, "In that case...... There really is no need for the little one to go out of the city again. ”

"That's it!"

Before the people who checked finished speaking, a sky-high fire appeared in the east of Zhenxian City, and the firelight looked ghostly and abnormal against the sunset. Then the horn of the whole guard began to sound, and a terrible howl made all the Akawei soldiers immediately pick up their blades and prepare for battle.

The guards hesitated for a while and finally chose to walk towards the outside of the city, but heard a shout from the head of the city, "If you want to get out of the city, hurry up, we will close the city gate!" ”

The guard hurriedly ran away, and this run did not stop, although from time to time he would look back, and all he saw was the sky-high fire and the deafening sound of killing. The guard, that is, Yan Tong in disguise, couldn't care much anymore, and ran wildly in the direction of Hongzhou City.

As he passed through a forest, Yan Tong whistled, and a horse ran out of the forest. Yan Tong had to sigh that his preparation in advance was finally useful, he turned over and got on the horse, and since then he has completely bid farewell to the days of relying on his legs, and began to gallop on horseback. The target was Hongzhou City, the closest city of the former Liang Dynasty to Zhenxian City, which was already under the jurisdiction of the Lower Tang Dynasty.

After a day and night of galloping, Yan Tong finally arrived at Hongzhou City at dawn, entered the city and ignored the officers and soldiers who came to stop him, directly took off his clothes, and showed his green skin in front of everyone. Yan Tong's meaning is very clear, he wants to see the guards of Hongzhou City.

The defender of Hongzhou City is currently Lu Yi, and this person's military rank is also Xiao Tuo, which can be regarded as a more important subordinate general of Wu Yu, and it is precisely because of his initiative to ask Ying that he obtained the position of the guard of Hongzhou City, and Wu Yuhou originally planned to leave this position to Jin Chongwu.

As soon as he saw Lu Yi, Yan Tong directly grabbed the teapot and poured it into his mouth, and put down the teapot and began to look at Lu Yi.

"Master Yan, we've known each other for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen you look so embarrassed." Lu Yi's words had a hint of ridicule. Yan Tong didn't care, he was unkempt and disheveled, let alone Lu Yi, even if he was a gatekeeper, he had to look down twice, after all, everyone in the world judged people by their appearance.

"Lord Lu, whether you can be promoted to Tuorong in the future, the limelight completely overshadows Wu Yu's adopted son, it depends on today's performance."

"What did Master Yan say about this?" Lu Yi no longer stood and spoke, but took the initiative to sit next to Yan Tong.

"Xiao Yunqi has been killed by the Chiwei Army, last night the Xuanjia Army began to attack Zhenxian City in order to avenge their boss, if Lord Lu sends troops to Zhenxian City at this time, what do you think the result will be?"

"What's going on? Could it be that the Liang Dynasty has already begun to recapture Yecang City? How did Lord Yan find out, could it be that something happened in the city? ”

Yan Tong smiled, when he came in with such a sloppy appearance, Lu Yi didn't think to ask why, but now he is interested in caring about himself. However, time is pressing, and Yan Tong does not intend to be overly careful.

"Lord Lu, are you going to listen to my story here slowly? Or are you going to send troops to establish merit at once? As a soldier, you naturally understand the truth that the war situation is changing rapidly. ”

Lu Yi poured Yan Tong a full cup of tea and said, "Is the news of the Yan Ministry Master accurate?" ”

"If it weren't for the location of Hongzhou City, I really wouldn't have planned to come here. Lord Lu, we have known each other for so many years, and you and I are very clear about each other's temperaments, I just hope to take the opportunity to eliminate these two obstructive cities in one fell swoop. If it weren't you who guarded Hongzhou today, but Wu Yu's adopted son, I would still say that, after all, the overall situation is important! ”

Lu Yi squeezed a pair of hanging horn eyes, thought for a while, and before he could make a decision, he had already said that his subordinates had come to report that Zhenxian City had discovered turmoil. This time, Lu Yi really believed it, he glanced at Yan Tong gratefully and immediately left.
