The trail is not far from Gangneung Fortress, and it is only a few steps away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What the hell, so close." Ripples sighed.
"Okay, it's good to arrive, now you have to be extra careful, Jiangling City is full of Xu Hong's soldiers, and we will be in danger if we are not careful!" I admonished.
"What Qiansheng said makes sense, we have to be careful now, Zhou Cheng has been arrested by us, Xu Hong will definitely have a countermeasure." Zhao Yun observed every move around him, and Zhao Yun's martial arts among us were also the best.
"What do we do now?" Ripple stared at me blankly.
We are not far from Gangneung City at this time, there is an official road directly below the city gate, we are now drinking tea at the tea stall next to us, and the old woman of the tea stall is estimated to have no way to come here to sell tea, so we sit around the table.
"Do you have a few guests drinking tea?" The old woman asked tentatively, there should be more people who drank for nothing, and the old woman was not as enthusiastic as on TV.
"You bring me five bowls!" Meng Ru was closest to the old woman, and by the way, the money was handed to the old woman, and the old woman looked at the money in Meng Ru's hand and was stunned a few times, and said to her that this was an unexpected thing.
"Don't worry, we won't drink it for nothing." I said to the old woman with a smile. The old woman looked at me and smiled, and hurriedly pulled up the teapot next to her and poured water for us: "No, no, how dare I say that the guest officials don't give money?" The old woman took out five large bowls and filled them for us.
"What are the guests doing here?" The old woman said as she fell.
"Oh, we're here to see our relatives!" Zhao Yun said.
"Visiting family?"
"Exactly, is there something wrong?" We looked at the old woman.
"That's fine." The old woman looked a little depressed. "It's just that Xu Hong, the guard of Jiangling City, looted the people's fat and ointment, deceived the good and feared the evil, and made Jiangling City a miasma, and as soon as you enter the city, someone will ask you for protection money." The old woman sobbed.
"Old woman. Don't be sad, you tell us. Ripples helped the old woman.
"You are all good people, unlike this Xu Hong, who has taken away all our grain, and increased the tax burden at every turn, many people have no farming." The old woman couldn't stop crying.
"What are you doing if you don't farm?" Zhao Yun asked.
"Those who run away escape, those who go, or they just steal their lives, anyway, they were abducted by Xu Hong when they farmed." The old woman said.
"What a beast!" When the White Crane man heard this, he shouted.
"Don't worry, old woman, we just came to collect this Xu Hong." Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, and I comforted the old woman on the side.
After drinking tea, we detoured to the city gate, and we couldn't go in directly, either by climbing over the wall or by killing these soldiers guarding the gate, but at the moment we were too inferior in numbers, and we had to climb over the wall after some discussion.
The Jiangling City Wall is similar to the Jingzhou City Wall, and there should be a lot of flaws, Xu Hong will definitely not take the money to repair it well, unless Cao Cao allocates money to him, and he still has this understanding of Xu Hong.
There are no moats with trees on the side of the Gangneung city wall, so I don't know if it was filled in or what, and the defense capability is indeed not very good. After walking a short distance, there were some city wall bricks on the ground, and I took them in my hand and looked at them: "There are bricks falling here, and I think the wall is not very thick." ”
"Let's see." Zhao Yun listened and began to press the wall tiles with his hands.
"There is no looseness." Zhao Yun touched it for a while.
"What then?" Ripple asked on the side.
"Let's flip it over." I looked at the walls that weren't too high, but there was really nothing they could do about the White Crane people and the ripples.
"No, the old man wants to go in with the two generals." The White Crane Man said seriously.
"Then go ahead and see." Zhao Yun glanced at me.
It was only like this, and after taking a few steps forward, Meng Ru was in front, and suddenly fell into a pit under his feet. Meng Ru was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream, and Zhao Yun looked around vigilantly, for fear of startling the snake.
Fortunately, this cave happens to lead to the outside of the city, but I don't know what is inside the city.
"How did this hole come about?" Everyone is a little confused.
"In my opinion, it must have been dug up when I escaped!" You can only believe me when I say it.
"Let's go inside." Zhao Yun took the lead, and after Meng Ru's palace, Zhao Yun's spear could only be dragged in.
The smear crawled forward for a while, Zhao Yun poked his head out first, and everyone was sweating.
Zhao Yun quickly retracted his head.
"Qiansheng, do you know where it is?" Zhao Yun's tone was a little nervous, and it became more and more scary in the tunnel, and the ripples had already grabbed my trouser legs.
"I didn't go up, but guess it should be near the barracks, right?" If it wasn't for the vicinity of the barracks, Zhao Yun didn't need to be so nervous.
"That's right, it's a prison up there!" Zhao Yun said affirmatively.
"Isn't Brother Peng Lai up there?" I was a little happy, the purpose of coming was to rescue Peng Lai.
"I'm not sure about that, but once we got out, we were trapped, and there was a cell up there." Zhao Yun said.
"Let's go up and have a look, maybe we can save Penglai." The White Crane people make decisions for us, and we can't see everyone's expressions in the dark, so we must be very nervous to think about it.
"Then listen to the old gentleman!" Zhao Yun took me out, and let Ripple and the White Crane people wait in the tunnel.
"If there's movement up there, take them away immediately!" I said to Meng Ru.
As I went out, the ripples grabbed my hand and slipped as I moved, and I paused to see the ripples in the darkness that I couldn't see clearly.
Zhao Yun had already climbed out, and I came out to observe the surroundings. In front of me is the prison cell, above the entrance of the cave is a very high skylight, the prison room is surrounded by wooden pillars, directly opposite is the wall, no wonder there is a pit dug here, I don't know the other side, I am also afraid to come out, the atmosphere does not dare to breathe with Zhao Yun, sticking to the wall next to it, little by little to move to the door of the cell.
"Locked." Zhao Yun whispered.
I was out of line for a while, and the two of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Qiansheng?" Someone called me out suddenly, and I was startled by such a quiet environment.
Zhao Yun and I searched for the source of the sound, which was the cell diagonally opposite.
"Qiansheng, it's me, Brother Peng Lai!" Said again.
"Penglai?" I'm a little excited, I've finally found someone, but how can I get out?
"You just smash the lock, the soldiers should be out, and they go out to eat together at this point every day." Peng Lai whispered.
After brewing for a while, Zhao Yun picked up the spear and struck it on the lock, "Bang" The ancient lock quality is really a dish, and it is divided into two halves.
There were other people in the cell, all screaming at us, begging for help. Peng Lai was unkempt, his clothes were ragged, he couldn't see the way he looked before, and his body was also scarred.
"Captain Penglai, I'm sorry, I'm here to save you now." Zhao Yun said while untying the rope on Peng Lai's body.
"General Zhao Yun has seen the outside, and it is really my luck to be able to take the risk to save me." Peng Lai shook off the rope on his body: "Save these brothers, they are all soldiers who don't obey Xu Hong and nearby villagers." ”
Zhao Yun and I hurriedly smashed the lock for everyone and untied the rope.
"Thank you, General!"
"This is General Zhao Yun!" Someone recognized Zhao Yun.
"General Zhao Yun, let's follow you!" Some soldiers were the first to take a stand, and then the crowd responded.
"Okay, brothers, let's go out together today." Zhao Yun said to everyone.
"The soldiers are coming." Let's go first.
More than 30 of us climbed out of the cave one after another, and it was like racing against time, and we could already hear the voice of the jailer behind us, and everyone's hearts were heavy.
Meng Ru took the White Crane and Meng Ru out, and Zhao Yun and I came out first and began to move out of the city.
"Stop!" Suddenly, I heard someone inside the cave start calling.
"What can I do?" I looked at Zhao Yun and waited for him to come up with an idea.
"Those who come out are the first to lurk, and the rest are coming out slowly." Zhao Yun said, I asked the ripples to hide in the grass, and Zhao Yun and I were outside to answer.
Luck may have been good, the captured brothers had already escaped, and the jailer had just poked out his head, still calling out his mouth, and caught a glimpse of us in the blink of an eye.
Zhao ...... Zhao Yun ......: "The jailer was a little trembling.
"Exactly!" Zhao Yun kicked the jailer's physical strength in.
"Oh maa!" There was a wail in the cave, and no one dared to climb out.
Zhao Yun and I picked up two stones from the side and smashed them into the hole.
"Evacuate...... Quickly retreat......" The jailers were smashed inside, and they retreated backwards.
"The dignified General Zhao Yun is so sneaky, I'm afraid it's not very good?"
I felt a chill in my back.
