Chapter Ninety-Six: The Red Lady
"Stop! Don't hurt anyone! ”
When the girl in red was about to pick up her sword to stab the jailer Ruibao, someone shouted in the prison.
When the girl heard this, she put away her sword and turned her head to look into the prison, "Ah...... It's you ......."
The person who shouted was none other than the son of the scholar. The girl glanced into the prison before, but she didn't look carefully, and now when she looked again, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Wensheng Gongzi.
"Girl, do we know each other?" Childe said with a little surprise.
Wensheng's son's name is Li Xin, and when he heard that the girl was in prison, he let go of the words to find himself, and he was very puzzled. Seeing this girl with his own eyes now, he was even more surprised, because he didn't know the girl in red, and for some reason he named him to find him, and he seemed to know himself.
"You...... Are you Li Xin Li Gongzi? The girl's voice became extremely gentle, and there was a hint of shyness between her eyebrows.
"It's Li Xin." Li Xin stood up and arched his hand and said, "I don't know what the girl is looking for me?" I don't seem to know the girl. ”
"My surname is Xu, and everyone calls me Red Lady." The girl shyly said her name, and then said: "Childe, this is not the place to talk, I will rescue you first, and when you get to a safe place, let's talk slowly." ”
"It's fine." Li Xin nodded, strode outside, and the black-faced man Weixiong hurriedly followed.
Out of the prison door, the red lady led the way, Li Xin and the others followed, and the jailer Ruibao sat on the ground, and could only watch the three of them leave.
However, before the three of them could walk a few steps, they heard the other people in the cell shouting: "Li Gongzi, woman, we are all good people, we are all wronged, please let us out." ”……
The red lady swept around the cell, and saw that these people were yellow and thin, and they didn't look like gangsters. So he nodded and said, "Okay." After saying that, he turned to Ruibao and shouted, "Open all their prison doors." ”
Ruibao looked embarrassed, didn't know whether to do it or not, and when he was hesitating, he heard Li Xin say: "Ruibao, just listen to this girl, open the prison door, they are not bad people, most of them have been wronged, and some of them were implicated by me and arrested them." Now that the army of King Chuang has arrived outside the city, and the city is broken, I might as well wait to join the rebel army, maybe in the future, there will be a way out. ”
As soon as Li Xin said this, those who were locked up in prison all cheered and shouted: "Li Gongzi is right, let's follow Gongzi to join the rebel army, we should be able to survive." Ruibao, come and open the door. ”
"That'...... Okay then......" Seeing the situation in front of him, Ruibao couldn't help but not do it himself, so he had to take the key, open the locks of the cell doors, and let the prisoners inside.
After the prisoners came out one after another, they thanked them repeatedly, "Thank you Li Gongzi, thank you girl......"
At this time, a few men came out from the corner of the corridor in front of them, and one of them shouted, "Holy Maiden, let's go quickly." ”
"Good!" Seeing that the prisoners had come out, the red lady said, "Li Gongzi, let's go quickly." ”
After speaking, she took the lead and took Li Xin and a group of prisoners out of the prison, and when they arrived outside the prison, they saw more than 40 men standing there waiting.
The red lady said to a man: "Bai Fu, how is the situation in the city now?" ”
"Although the drum tower is on fire, the prefect's yamen and the garrison yamen are attacked, but it is not like the rebel army entering the city, a small estimate, ten are the eyes of the rebel army sent into the city, wanting to create chaos in the city and waiting for an opportunity to seize the city gate." A man replied.
"Since that's the case, we might as well cooperate with the rebels and help open the city gates." The red lady said.
"I just don't know which portal the rebels are going to attack." Bai Fu said.
"It's simple, isn't there a righteous army harassing in the prefect's yamen, we can go in, rescue people, and ask about the situation, isn't it." The red lady said.
"There are two or three hundred servants in the yamen, can we do it with just a few of us?" Bai Fu said with a little embarrassment.
"Aren't there still so many people here, with their help, plus the rebel army inside, the inside and the outside should be combined, and they will definitely win. Listen to me, let's go in now. After the red lady finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the dozens of prisoners behind her, and said, "I plan to lead you into the palace and join the rebels inside, do you dare to follow me in?" ”
There are seventy or eighty prisoners here, and if it is a normal day, there is absolutely no courage to go against the government. But the girl in front of them has a life-saving grace, the righteous army has come to the city, thinking about the oppression of these poor masters in the past, a group of prisoners made a decision, nodded and said: "Why don't you dare!" Our lives were saved by the girl, as long as the girl said a word, we will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. ”
"Good! Then follow me! ”
The red lady raised the steel knife and shouted, "Follow me!" ”
As she spoke, the red lady was about to be the first to rush back to prison. But as soon as he pulled his legs, he heard Li Xin say: "Girl, slow down." ”
"Li Gongzi, what's the matter?" The red lady asked.
"There are many servants in the government, so we can't act rashly. I don't think it's as good as this, after we go in, we pretend to be the rebels and bluff, so that they think that the rebels from outside the city have come in. These errand soldiers, in fact, are greedy for life and afraid of death, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if they heard that it was the righteous army who killed them, they would definitely scatter and flee. Li Xin said.
"Childe is really resourceful, so let's do it. Everyone listened to Li Gongzi, and after entering the yamen, they made a loud noise, saying that the righteous army had entered the city. The red lady said.
"Understood." Whether it was the men under her command or the prisoners in the prison, they all nodded in response.
"Alright, come with me now. Li Gongzi, you go behind, just leave the matter of fighting and killing to us. After the red lady spoke, she led the rush into the prison, and the forty or so men under her followed closely, and the rest of the prisoners followed last. Li Xin and the black-faced man did not go last, but went to prison with the men under the Red Lady.
The prison has a back door that leads to the government office, which is specially used to transport prisoners. Just now, those jailers escaped into the government through this gate.
In the courtyard of the government office, there are still shouts and screams, and the red lady followed the sound, took the lead, rushed to the front, ran for a while, and found the place where the errand and the rogues were moving. The rogues are already surrounded by groups, and it is estimated that it will not take long before they will all be wiped out.
"The army of the king is coming, and you will not be killed!"
According to Li Xin's instructions, after the red lady entered the hospital, she raised her head and shouted, and everyone who followed closely behind began to shout loudly, "Kill!" "Rush!" "Kill all these dog officers!" "King Chuang is here!" ……
Don't really say it, as soon as the shouts came, the officers in the courtyard were blindfolded and startled. On the contrary to them, the rogue who was surrounded thought that Li Zicheng had really come in, and his courage was doubled. Picking up weapons is a desperate fight to the death. While fighting, he shouted, "The general is coming!" ”
The Red Lady was the fastest runner, and soon came to the place of battle, where she raised her sword and killed one of the officers.
In the darkness of the night, the servants did not know how many people came, and when they saw so many people rushing into the corner gate, they thought that there were still people behind, and they panicked. really responded to Li Xin's words, these errand soldiers are all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing that the Liukou brigade is coming, how can they still have the courage to resist, "hula", they turned around and fled.
"Chase! Don't let them run! The red lady led the people to chase after her, but it was just for show, the errand who fled in front of her, when she saw the enemy chasing, she ran faster, and there was no shadow after a while.
The red lady did not really chase them, but was led by Ruibao and ran towards the main gate. Coming out of the main gate, the gang of rogues also came out with them, they are now, half broken, there are still about 20 people left, when "pursuing", they can also roughly see how many people are in the so-called "rebel army", and they are also sure that the people who save themselves are definitely not accomplices.
After coming out, a rogue leader hugged his fist at the red lady and said, "Thank you girl for saving her life, but the girl is definitely not a member of my army, I don't know why she wants to risk me and wait?" ”
"We are from the White Lotus Sect, and we have a common enmity with the imperial court, this time, we are here to save Li Gongzi, and when we know that you are here, how can we not help. Everyone is on the same road, and there is no need to say thank you. The red lady said.
"I see, thank you even more girl. This time, we have made trouble with the government, and the officials and soldiers will inevitably vigorously clean up the city, so you should keep it secret. The little leader said.
"Then I wonder how many strong men have been? I see that tonight you set fire to the city and disturb the prefect's yamen and the garrison yamen, which is obviously a bluff and has other plans. I guess it's time to storm the gates and enter the city. The red lady said again.
"The girl is really powerful, that's right, we bluffed, General Gao led three hundred brothers, to attack the south gate, I don't know what the situation is now. Since our brothers had escaped from danger here, we planned to go to the south gate to check it out. The little leader said very angrily.
"That's right, we intend to go to King Chuang, so it's better to go to the south gate to check together. There are a lot of soldiers and horses in the imperial court there, and if your troops are defeated, we can also take a hand. The red lady said.
"Girl Gaoyi, if this is the case, it is really my blessing to break into the army. Please come with me! ”
"Good!"
The two families immediately joined forces, although there were not many people, adding up to only sixty or seventy, but fortunately, there were still dozens of prisoners, and when they got together, there were also one hundred and forty five. Just now, a prisoner, while chasing the errand officer, picked up the weapon that fell on the ground, and now almost everyone has a weapon.
They rushed towards the south gate, and there were also people who rushed towards the south gate, that is, the same people who had set fire to the yamen before.
The garrison yamen was a little closer to the south gate than the prefect's yamen, and there were no accidents, so the speed of the fifty people was very fast. Along the road, we met some noisy minions, and everyone merged together, and when they arrived at the south gate, there were already seventy or eighty people.
The closer you get to the south gate, the louder the shouting and killing will be, and after crossing the last street and looking ahead, you will find the place where the officers and soldiers of the Gao Yigong Department fought fiercely. Seeing the officers and soldiers surrounding their companions, if they were ordinary rogues, they would have retreated a long time ago, but they were all Li Zicheng's elites, and they were very bold, and shouted, "The righteous army is coming, and you will not be killed!" ”
The voice landed, and the seventy or eighty people entered the battle.
