This is the prison of the Yamen of Jiyuan County, and the environment in a place like the prison is naturally not much better, and this place is no exception. In addition, this is only a small place on the outskirts, so that the prison environment here is even worse than other places.

The walls were mottled and scarred, even the masonry was exposed, and the floor was dirty and smelly, and from time to time small insects could be seen crawling over it.

In this environment, Zhao Zheng could only seal his sense of smell a little, so as not to suffer from his nose. He made his way to the deepest part of the prison, where as many as four jailers stood guard at the door, not daring to be careless.

The reason why the jailers were so careful was because there was a sevenfold heavenly martial artist in the cell opposite them, and he was really sloppy. If the people who were locked up inside rushed out, they would all suffer with them.

Zhao Zheng greeted the jailers, did not put it on the shelf, and then turned to the prison, looking through the rusty iron bar, at the woman Lu Xingyue who was locked inside.

At this time, Lu Xingyue had been firmly locked by several heavy iron chains, and her hands and feet were also handcuffed and shackled, and the ends of these torture instruments were linked to several large iron balls. These days, Lu Xingyue has been locked up here, and she can only eat some stomach pills and drink some water every day, and the treatment is not good, so that her face is a little haggard and sickly pale.

On this haggard face, there was a pair of cruel eyes, revealing an arrow-like gaze, staring at Zhao Zheng's face fiercely. It seems that the suffering of this prison has not dealt her much blow, and she is now like a sick tigress, still fiercely aggressive.

"My little love, you're here at last. can make the slave family wait so hard. Lu Xingyue stared at Zhao Zheng. A sneer. Naturally, what was said was just sarcasm.

"You're not waiting for me, it's my fingers." Zhao Zheng said casually. He winked at one of the jailers, who understood, untied the key hanging from his waist, and opened the door.

Zhao Zheng's words actually mean something, these days, he will come over every day to seal the acupoints on Lu Xingyue's body. lest Lu Xingyue rush through the acupuncture path and escape from here. It was precisely by relying on his acupoint skills that he trapped Lu Xingyue, otherwise, Lu Xingyue would have fled here a long time ago, and no one could stop him. So, in a way, Lu Xingyue was indeed waiting for his fingers.

Opening the prison door, Zhao Zheng walked in and walked in until he walked in front of Lu Xingyue before stopping. He shook his fingers demonstratively. pointed at the acupuncture points on the other party's body, and he was not polite at all. He was heavy-handed. The moment the finger touches the skin, a fairly strong internal force is poured into the skin, completely sealing the acupoint and turning it into a pool of stagnant water.

Being hit by the acupoint is definitely not a pleasant thing, Lu Xingyue snorted twice, and her brows furrowed.

After ordering the acupoint, Zhao Zheng dusted his hands, took out a small pot from his waist, poured out a belly pill from it, and poured this pill into Lu Xingyue's mouth. Then he fed Lu Xingyue a little more water, and it was finally done.

In fact, it is not impossible for these things to be done by others, but it is more prudent for Zhao Zheng to do them, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After finishing his business, Zhao Zheng turned around and wanted to leave, but Lu Xingyue stopped him and begged: "My back is a little itchy, can you help me scratch it?" ”

"Bear with it yourself." Zhao Zheng glanced at Lu Xingyue, and he didn't have a good breath.

"I can't help it, you can do it, help me once." Lu Xingyue's tone became softer and lowered her posture.

The itching behind her back is not something that she can't help but have, and Lu Xingyue must have ulterior motives for asking for this. Zhao Zheng wanted to see what Lu Xingyue wanted to do, groaned slightly, raised his hand and grabbed a straight upward iron chain, twisted it slightly, and Lu Xingyue's whole person immediately turned half a circle, revealing his curvy back.

Zhao Zheng raised his hand, raised it casually, and hit a soft internal force, hitting the jade back lightly or heavily.

Lu Xingyue snorted lightly and complained: "This doesn't relieve the itch at all, you better scratch it for me with your hands." Could it be that a man as big as you would be shy? ”

Zhao Zheng was not afraid that Lu Xingyue in this state would be bad, so he bent his fingers into claws and grabbed at the jade back.

Lu Xingyue hummed comfortably, enjoying Zhao Zheng's scratching, and then said, "Go down, go down, it's even more itchy there." ”

Zhao Zheng's hand moved downwards to the arc of his waist, where he grabbed it twice.

"A little further down, a little further down, it's not just itchy, it's a little wet." Lu Xingyue said delicately, her voice was like a yellow oriole singing green willows, and the meaning of seduction was fully revealed.

Zhao Zheng finally figured out Lu Xingyue's little trick, took his hand back, and snorted coldly: "If you think you can use beauty tricks to deal with me, you may underestimate me too much, this kind of little trick, you should use it less in the future, so as not to lose your body and lose your soldiers." ”

After speaking, he left without looking back, and no longer paid attention to any words Lu Xingyue said. Outside the prison door, Zhao Zheng once again told the guards to be careful and not to listen to any words from Lu Xingyue.

Lu Xingyue's little plan was fruitless, and she was somewhat unwilling, glaring at Zhao Zheng's back.

……

Five days.

After Zhao Zheng made an agreement with Zou Tianjin, a full five days have passed.

In the past five days, Jiyuan County and the surrounding areas have been calm at least on the surface, and there has been no abnormal movement. Zou Tianjin and the group of thieves on Yuezhao Mountain kept their promises, and they kept their own peace and did not attack other villages. Some villagers in the surrounding areas were also evacuated by the officials and rushed to Jiyuan County one after another, and were temporarily resettled in the county.

However, the calm on the surface does not mean anything, and under this calm, there is a torrent that is invisible to the naked eye.

Zhao Zheng and several messengers sent out by the county commander have all gone, there is no news, and reinforcements from all walks of life have never arrived, and even the nearest Tiemen Pass has no news, which is really not right.

It's just that the forces such as the Sword Forge Villa didn't come over, after all, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and it always takes some time to get here. But the Iron Gate Pass is not far from here. If you are riding a horse. It only takes about three days to go back and forth. And now a full five days have passed.

This isolated situation made Zhao Zheng a little uneasy, if the Iron Gate Pass did not send troops over, the situation of Jiyuan County was very dangerous, and there was a possibility of being attacked by Yuezhao Mountain at any time.

In this unfavorable situation, he really couldn't sit still, and decided to go to the iron gate to take a trip to explore the reality. With his light skills. It only takes less than half a day to go back and forth, and as long as it is not too unlucky, there will be no surprises. And after he leaves, he will leave Po behind you.

He told the local county magistrate about this idea, and the magistrate had been worried about it, and he was in a state of panic all day long, so he agreed with his idea, and the two hit it off.

In this way, Zhao Zheng left Jiyuan County and used Thunderbolt Lightning. With the lightning surging all over his body, he galloped towards the iron gate in the south.

More than an hour later. He passed by a post station, and suddenly smelled a vague smell of blood, which immediately caught his attention.

"There's something weird in this station." With such a thought in his heart, he restrained Lei Yuan's internal force, quietly fell from mid-air, and touched towards the post station.

When I got closer, I could only hear the sound of drinking orders coming from time to time in the post station, which was very lively.

Zhao Zheng walked to the window, pierced the window lattice paper, and looked inside. I saw five people sitting around drinking and ordering, all of them were red-faced, and it seemed that they had been drinking for a long time. All five of them were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, not official uniforms, and one of them also had tattoos left on his face by "Punishment", indicating that he had been in prison.

No matter how you look at it, these five people don't look like officials in the post station, but like a group of bandits. The post stations were all established by the imperial court, and each post station was guarded by officials, and it was impossible for these people not to wear official uniforms.

"Could it be that they are the bandits on the Moonlight Mountain?" Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, he guessed, and he didn't hesitate anymore, even if he smashed the window with one palm, he jumped into the house.

The five people in the room heard the sound, screamed, and looked at Zhao Zheng one after another. But before they could make a move, they were subdued by Zhao Zheng with the power of thunder, and they didn't even have a chance to resist.

Zhao Zheng has experienced so many things, and when facing some wicked people, he will no longer have any mercy. He grabbed one of the men who seemed to be the most cowardly, and used a punishable trick to force him to tell the truth.

Sure enough, as he had expected, these five people were all bandits on Yuezhao Mountain, and they had come on the orders of the lord of the village, with the purpose of guarding this post station and preventing any messengers from passing through here. The messenger rode on horseback, and when he passed by the post station, he inevitably stopped to rest his feet and feed the horses some good fodder. These five men are here to prevent the passage of messengers to the greatest extent.

When the five bandits first arrived, they killed all the officials in the inn, and then killed a passing messenger and buried the body under the land behind the house, so that the smell of blood could not be left here.

As soon as Zhao Zheng heard that these people had killed messengers, his heart suddenly hung up, for fear that the messengers these people killed were messengers who delivered letters to Tiemen Pass. In a hurry, he forced the confessed thief to hand over the seized letter, opened it and checked it, and found that it was not the messenger sent by Zhiyuan County, so he was slightly relieved.

It's right to think that the messenger set out earlier than the time when the bandits took the station, so it is impossible for them to be captured.

Zhao Zheng then began to ask for other confessions, and the thieves confided some important news, it turned out that Yuezhao Mountain not only sent their group of bandits, but also sent several other groups of bandits. Among them, several groups of people were specifically responsible for taking down the post station, and there was also a group of bandits with the largest number of bandits, led by Lu Bao himself, and set off to Tiemen Pass, ready to carry out a surprise attack on Tiemen Pass at any time!

This is very important news. Presumably, the post stations in the surrounding areas have been occupied by bandits, and there is a certain possibility that the messengers sent out by the far away counties will be captured or killed by these people who occupy the post stations, resulting in the letters being stranded and not delivered in time. If this happens, it will be terrible, it will directly lead to the news of this place being unable to be transmitted, let alone attracting reinforcements from all forces to come here.

In addition, Lu Bao's attack on Tiemen Pass is also of great importance, and if Tiemen Pass suffers a heavy blow, it will make the local situation even more unfavorable. Jiyuan County has been waiting for Tiemen Pass to send troops to help, if Tiemen Pass is too busy to take care of itself, I am afraid that it will not send troops.

"It seems that Lu Bao and they haven't done it yet, everything should still be in time, I have to rush to Tiemen Pass as soon as possible, tell the news to the general soldier guarding Tiemen Pass, and let him take precautions as soon as possible." Zhao Zheng gritted his teeth and made a secret decision in his heart.

After asking these things, there is no need to spare the lives of these five bandits. Zhao Zheng was extremely decisive, and his sword fell, which directly ended the lives of these five people. Then, he left the post station and hurried to Tiemen Pass, using light power to the extreme.

The further south you go, the more desolate the scenery becomes, all barren land and mountains, and even a little vegetation is hard to see.

Passing through the heavy mountain, a pass with a copper gang iron bottom appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, this pass is located in the middle of two towering mountains, more than ten zhang high, with torches lit on it, there are many figures wearing armor coming and going, it seems that the defense is extremely strong. Directly above the pass, there is a plaque hanging, which is engraved with the three big characters of "Iron Gate Pass", and the font dragon and phoenix dance, revealing the momentum of slaughter.

Seeing that the Iron Gate Pass was safe and sound, Zhao Zheng's hanging heart finally fell, it seems that Lu Bao has not launched a surprise attack, and everything is still saved. (To be continued......)
