Time rewinds back to three o'clock on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, there is a black-clothed phalanx standing solemnly outside the prison of the Criminal Department, these people are all dressed in black, and they can't see their faces clearly, standing in front of them are Ye Rongxuan and Yutai Qiu'an.

In the flickering light of the fire, the two of them entered the prison and ordered the jailer to open all the cells where the Heian Army soldiers were being held. These former warriors, now prisoners, are unkempt and frightened, and their fate has been sealed since the failure of the rebellion.

Tantai Qiu'an waved his hand, and immediately several black-clothed people rushed into the cells one by one, picking out some prisoners like picking animals and pushing them out of the cells, and soon a group of prisoners were selected, and they all stood in front of Tantai Qiu'an and Ye Rongxuan.

The prisoners watched uneasily as the door closed again, thinking that they should be the first to be pulled out and beheaded. Since you can't escape, you can only face it hard, but when you really face death, how many people can be calm? At least the vast majority of these single-handeds can't do it.

Tantai Qiu'an saw that the time was almost up, and he spoke, "There is no way out for you to rebel, not only that, but you also have to punish the nine clans!" I'm afraid that no one wants to see the end of the dead clan, right? Who told you to follow the wrong person! ”

As soon as the words fell, the black-clothed people behind Yutai Qiu'an immediately drew their swords, and the cold light flashed, and the prisoners all gasped. At this time, they may envy those comrades-in-arms who died on the day of the palace rebellion, at least they died as soldiers, and now these lucky survivors will die as prisoners.

The commotion of the prisoners, Yutai Qiu'an saw it, the corners of his mouth curled, and he changed the words, "You were selected by me, you should feel lucky, because you got a chance." But it's not your own chance to live, it's your family's chance to be saved, and now it's up to you to take it. ”

After a pause, he saw that these prisoners were obviously a little moved, and he continued: "If you are willing to cooperate and listen to me, then what I promised you will definitely be done!" Now you get new clothes! ”

The men in black withdrew their swords and threw their suits in front of the prisoners. Some prisoners still have some eyesight, and from the standard of the uniform, it can be seen that this is not the uniform of the Heian Army but the Xuanjia Army.

"You don't need to know why, you don't need to know what to do, you just obey! Put on your uniform or kill by the neck, the choice is yours! ”

The momentum of Yutai Qiu'an has been released to the greatest extent in this cramped space, not only the prisoners can't resist, but even Ye Rongxuan, who has been by his side, can't interject. Under the coercion and temptation of Tantai Qiu'an, the prisoners changed into the uniforms of the Xuanjia Army one after another.

Yutai Qiu'an was very satisfied, he didn't even look at Ye Rongxuan and turned around and left the prison, those pseudo-Xuanjia soldiers followed behind him, when they walked to the door of the prison, they were even more afraid when they saw the black-clothed man's phalanx of soldiers, if they didn't agree at that time, these black-clothed people would probably rush into the prison and kill them all, and they did not know it.

The sun was three poles, and Yutai Qiu'an said to Ye Rongxuan: "Lord Ye, there are these dead soldiers in the Criminal Department, you can rest assured, come with me into the palace to watch a good show!" ”

Ye Rongxuan nodded with a smile, Yutai Qiu'an enjoyed this feeling of being in control of the situation very much, he ordered the men in black to surround the prison, and then took advantage of the early morning mist to disperse, and left the criminal department with the pseudo-Xuanjia army and headed towards the imperial city.

As the sunlight began to dispel the fog and shine on the land of the Liang Dynasty, a man in black walked into the prison of the Criminal Department, and he walked through the prison door where the soldiers of the Heian Army were held one by one. This scene had just happened half an hour ago, and the prisoners' hearts had not yet been completely relieved, and they had never thought of repeating it so soon.

Finally, someone couldn't help it, and he yelled at the man in black: "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, no matter how we say it, we are also soldiers, and we can't bear such insults from you anymore!" ”

This man's words touched most of the prisoners, and they all stood up and stared at the man in black, gritting their teeth as if they were about to devour the man in black alive.

The man in black didn't have any fear, he said: "You are really pitiful, as a subordinate army of the former prince, not only did you not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but you were even deprived of the qualification to die like a real soldier!" Don't you pride yourself on being a hot-blooded man? You guys should take a look at it with a little bit of manhood! ”

"You don't come to stimulate us! You're kind of letting us out, and I'm going to challenge you one-on-one! Life and death do not count! ”

The man in black applauded, "Well, it's a bit of a bit of a spirit." To tell you the truth, those who were chosen before were just going to act as pawns for others, and you have been used as a gun once, so you don't want to be played again, right? ”

The prisoners began to quiet down and began to think about the true meaning of the man's words. One of them had a bit of an active mind and asked, "How do we know that you don't intend to use us as pawns?" ”

The man in black took off his mask to show his true face to everyone, and his young, handsome appearance could still shine even in this dark and dirty cell. The man in black said: "You don't have to know my identity, I'm just a nobody, but I can't get used to seeing the people of the Tantai family repeatedly use you." Those who were selected before were going to carry out another rebellion, and they could not come back alive. You should be glad you weren't picked! ”

"Why should we believe your word? Those two people are from the Shantai family and the secretary of the criminal department, what are you? ”

"I'm just giving you a chance!" The man in black took out a bunch of keys from his bosom and showed them in front of everyone, "This is the key to all the cells, as long as I want, I can open your cells and set you free!" ”

"Don't believe him! There must be an ambush outside, and we will be killed if we run out! ”

"You're right! But you also think about what kind of situation you are in now, your rebellion has long been confirmed, Zhou Xunliang has recruited everything, his confession has been read out in the court, you are all rebels, everyone will be punished! If I want you to die, do I need to go to such great lengths to set a trap for you to drill? ”

The prisoners had to admit that the man in black was right, but they still couldn't figure out what the man in black was up to.

"You still have value to be used, and you should be happy about that. Today is the emperor's funeral ceremony, and the main forces of the imperial city will be concentrated in the Jinchuan Gate where the imperial city has been funeral to pass, and once you leave the prison, you will run towards the other city gates. How can you also be soldiers, the armed forces should always not be wasted, as long as you can escape from the capital, you will live incognito in the future, and don't ask about the affairs of the court anymore. ”

"That'...... What about our families? ”

"yes, and why are you helping us?"

"I naturally have my purpose!" The man in black took out a small roster from his arms again, "This is the transcription roster of your original army, which registers your family situation, and the Hean Army only has this one, once this roster is lost, then the imperial court will not be able to trace your family." ”

Now almost all the prisoners saw the hope of their own rebirth, and the restlessness in their hearts could be seen even on their faces. Everyone was lying on the edge of the iron cage, looking at the man in black eagerly.

The man in black knew that it was time, and he burned the roster with a candle in front of everyone, and when the black ash floated up, there was already ecstasy in everyone's hearts. The man in black shook the key and said, "As long as you listen to my orders, when the time comes, I will naturally come to release you!" ”

The man in black had just taken two steps away when he suddenly thought of something, and said back to the prison door: "I forgot to tell you that about 100 black-clothed killing formations have been placed around the prison, and if you escape blindly, you will inevitably be killed." I don't need to teach you how to overcome this! ”

The man in black put his mask back on when he reached the door of the prison, and when he saw a pair of feet sticking out of the grass, he looked around to make sure no one was looking, and then stepped forward and kicked the corpse a few times, completely submerging it in the grass before exhaling.
