Chapter 272: Capturing Zhou Jian Alive

"Old butler, how long will it take to get out of this tunnel? Is it possible that anyone still knows about this tunnel? ”

"My lord, it's not far away, this tunnel was built by the predecessor Taishou when Wancheng was besieged by the yellow turban last time, and it leads directly to the outside of the city.

After hearing the old housekeeper say that this road leads directly outside the city, compared to when he played this golden cicada shell trick before, Zhou Jian's heart was a little relieved.

That's right, the body found in the Taishou Mansion was not Zhou Jian at all, but just a subordinate in this mansion, in order to save his life, Zhou Jian did not hesitate to personally take matters into this subordinate who was about the same size as him, and followed the old housekeeper who told him that there was a secret passage in the mansion leading directly to the outside of the city and left the Taishou Mansion.

Although he escaped, Zhou Jian was not easy, because the construction time of this secret passage was relatively hasty, only one person was allowed to pass through, and even his not tall figure could only bend over and bow his body to move forward.

Zhou Jian, who has not suffered anything at this moment, is almost unable to hold on, his waist is very sore, and his breathing is gradually becoming a little difficult, if it is still time to escape for his life at this time, I am afraid that he will already lie on the ground and rest enough!

The physical tiredness was bearable for Zhou Jian, but the psychological pressure forced him to be nervous all the time, and he knew that the corpse would not be hidden for long. Perhaps, there are already pursuers chasing him by now. What's more, Zhou Jian still doesn't trust the old housekeeper who took him away, because this old housekeeper is not his cronies!

The identity of the old housekeeper, Zhou Jian once investigated, the Taishou of Nanyang County has been changed again and again, but this old housekeeper has always been able to stay in the Taishou Mansion, whether it is a certain Taishou's henchman, they all left the old housekeeper in the mansion, and handed over the trivial matters in the house to the old housekeeper.

Zhou Jian is not a person who is afraid of trouble, he is so concerned with the big things in the house, he is not willing to hand it over to a person he is not familiar with, but he has no credible person in his hands when he first arrives, in order to stabilize the interior of the Taishou Mansion, he still temporarily retains the old housekeeper, and only waits to find a credible person in the future and then drive the old housekeeper out! It's a pity that Zhou Jian didn't wait for this day.

Looking at the old butler who was also bent down in front of him, Zhou Jian clenched the sword in his hand tightly, this old butler was unwilling to follow him to see his lord Yuan Shu under the pretext of being old and frail, Zhou Jian knew that his whereabouts must not be revealed, since he was unwilling to follow him, in order to keep it a secret, he had to kill him! Only the dead can keep their secrets forever!

At this moment, Zhou Jian already had a decision in his heart, after getting out of this tunnel and ensuring real safety, he would end up with this old thing!

Thinking like this, Zhou Jian endured the physical discomfort and followed the old housekeeper, slowly walking on his own road to survival......

I don't know how long the time has passed, and I don't know how far I have gone, Zhou Jian only feels that he is about to suffocate, and he can't go out, he was not killed by Sun Yang, I'm afraid he will have to die in this dark tunnel!

"My lord, there is an exit ahead, you wait here, and the old man will go out for you to see if it is safe outside."

As he walked, the old housekeeper suddenly stopped, turned back to Zhou Jian and said, The exit has arrived!

"Old butler, thank you very much! If this official can escape from the thief today, he will be thanked! Zhou Jian barely squeezed out a smile and hugged his fist at the old housekeeper with difficulty.

"Hehe, adults don't have to be like this, the old man is already old, he won't live long, and he is doing his duty to save you, just to spend his old age in peace, and he has long forgotten about the things outside his body." The old housekeeper with his hair said with emotion, at the age when he knew the destiny of heaven, nothing mattered except life and death.

After saying this, the old housekeeper slowly moved towards the exit in front, and Zhou Jian also took this opportunity to sit on the ground, rubbing his waist and back, which was almost unconscious, but there was a trace of hesitation in his heart.

Thinking that he Zhou Jian is also a scholar who has read the books of sages, he didn't expect that he would take revenge today, and wanted to kill his life-saving benefactor! Zhou Jian hesitated, he was not a ruthless and murderous person, he was just trying to survive!

After resting for a while, Zhou Jian had a trace of clarity in his heart, and he decided to give up the idea of killing the old housekeeper and reduce some of his sins.

"My lord, there's no one outside, come out quickly!"

After a while, Zhou Jian heard the voice of the old butler, slowly stood up with the help of the long sword, and advanced towards a trace of fire at the entrance of the cave in front of him, he was finally free!

Walking slowly like this, Zhou Jian got closer and closer to the light, and when he was about to step out, Zhou Jian seemed to use all his strength, and he pounced on his whole body to get out of the tunnel, and his body came into close contact with the grass outside.

At this time, Zhou Jian just wanted to just lie down and breathe the fresh air outside!

But before he could take a breath, he felt that his body was caught, and his hands were tied behind him before he could react, and as soon as his body was light, he felt that he was being pulled up, and at this time he had only one thought in his heart: he was completely finished!

After Zhou Jian stood up, outside the city, which was originally a little dark, a lot of torches were lit in an instant, and Zhou Jian drooped his head, his eyes not yet adapted to the sudden bright light.

"Hehe, Lord Zhou, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Yang misses it very much."

That's right, the person who caught Zhou Jian was Sun Yang! From the very beginning, Sun Yang did not stay in the city to participate in the actions of Zu Mao and Fang Xin, he had been guarding here with the elite of the black clothes and secret guards early, he had already known that Zhou Jian had the means to escape, and he would never stay in the Taishou Mansion and wait for the people who were caught, he would definitely use this tunnel to escape!

As early as when he first entered the Taishou Mansion, Sun Yang already knew that there was a secret passage in the Taishou Mansion, because the old housekeeper who knew this secret was half of his person!

"Lord Zhou, Yang has been waiting here for a long time, you said that you can stay in the Taishou Mansion and be arrested, and you don't have to suffer this crime." Sun Yang smiled, he wasn't laughing at Zhou Jian, but he was talking very seriously, in his plan, no matter what Zhou Jian did, it would be impossible for him to escape from Wancheng!

Blinking his eyes hard, Zhou Jian adapted to the brightness, raised his head, looked at Sun Yang, and did not speak ill of him, but only smiled faintly, "Sun Gongzi is really clever, Zhou Jian is convinced!" If you want to kill or chop, you can dispose of it! At this time, Zhou Jian was really relaxed, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore!

"Hehe, Lord Zhou, when did Yang say he was going to kill you? Don't worry, you won't die! Sun Yang chuckled, he had never thought of killing Zhou Jian, if he wanted him to die, Zhou Jian would never have walked out of the Taishou Mansion alive! His long-standing proposition is to leave Zhou Jian's life, and his life is far more useful than his death!

Zhou Jian was noncommittal to Sun Yang's words, but lowered his head, he was really tired.

Seeing Zhou Jian's dead look, Sun Yang didn't say much, just asked people to escort Zhou Jian, and they returned to Wancheng immediately, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with!

On the way back to Wancheng, Zhou Jian, who was being escorted, was suddenly patted lightly, and when he looked up, he saw that the old housekeeper who gave him to Sun Yang was beside him.

"Lord Zhou, I haven't done anything bad in my life, when I arrived, I didn't expect to do something wrong, Lord Zhou, I'm sorry for you!" The old housekeeper is very sorry, he and Zhou Jian don't have any grudges, and he doesn't accept any benefits from Sun Yang, he just does this for his only grandson, and thanks Sun Yang for his grandson, because his grandson, who is now a hundred leaders in the new army, was personally promoted by Sun Yang!

"Hehe, old butler, life and death are fateful, I don't blame you!"

At this time, Zhou Jian suddenly saw everything, and he didn't care about these betrayals anymore.

After saying this, Zhou Jian lowered his head again and no longer paid attention to the old housekeeper......
