Chapter 264: Infiltrating the Inner City
As soon as the young man walked up to Wei Mi, Wei Mi was taken aback. This person's appearance is so similar to Li Wenchang. Wei Yi stared at this person and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't find the special temperament on Li Wenchang's body.
"Perhaps, they just look alike." Wei Yi muttered to himself.
The man who led Wei Yi here had a brief exchange with the young man who had just appeared, and then turned back to Wei Yi and said, "That's right, there is a secret passage. He just told me that it was at the end of the passage behind him. Look, when are we going to go? ”
"Wait a minute." Wei Yi thought for a moment and continued, "When it gets dark, I'll go in alone to feel the situation, and you can wait for me inside." You don't have to rush in with me. ”
When the man heard this, he was stunned and said hurriedly: "How can it be done?" How can I let you go on an adventure alone? No, no. I'd better go with you. ”
Wei Yi waved his hand and persuaded, "It's more convenient for me to act alone." Rest assured. I'll go back as soon as I go. Just wait for me inside. Soon back. ”
The man persisted a few more times, and under Wei Yi's repeated insistence, he had no choice but to give up. Time quietly waited for Wei Yi and quietly came to the middle of the night.
Under the leadership of the insider, Wei Yi quickly passed through the secret passage to the inner city and reached the exit of the secret passage. He briefly explained a few words to the people who came with him, and then opened the barrier of the exit.
He quietly poked his head and looked out. Outside the passageway, it appears to be an old abandoned house. Wei Yu hurriedly dodged and jumped out, blocking the exit of the secret passage again with his backhand.
It's a slightly dilapidated old house. Wei Yi quickly glanced around, and quickly felt towards the door of the house. He walked quietly to the door of the room, and carefully opened the door with his hand.
Through the slit, Wei Yi took a look at the situation outside the door. Outside the room was a dark street, and no one patrolled. Wei Yi quickly opened the door a little and walked out.
After covering the door, Wei Yu quickly made a note of the location of the house and quickly walked out onto the street. He walked in the shadows, silently along the streets, carefully inspecting the inner city.
The so-called inner city is not much different from the outer city. The house is built in much the same way. The only thing that's different is that it's a bit cleaner.
At night, the inner city seems very quiet. Wei Yi walked a long way before he came across a small group of patrolling soldiers. He hurriedly dodged and hid in the alley. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Wei Yu successfully avoided the patrolling soldiers.
When the patrolling soldiers gradually walked away, Wei Yi quietly walked out of the alley and continued to investigate. In this way, with the help of the night, he touched the general situation of the inner city.
Moments before dawn, Wei Yu rushed back to the house where the secret passage was located, and quietly walked in, closing the door of the house as it was.
"How? What's going on in the inner city? When Wei Yi dodged into the secret passage, a few people who had been waiting for a long time immediately asked.
Wei Yi explained to them the situation in the inner city as he walked. The movements of the guards, the layout of the inner city, and other information that Wei Yi had found out were all told to these people.
They walked as they spoke, and soon returned to the exit of the secret passage. After saying goodbye to the young man who looked like Li Wenchang, Wei Yi and the other turned and returned to the Resistance's secret lair.
On the way, Wei Yi asked the man beside him, "That young man just now, how long have you known each other?" ”
"He's known him for a long time," the man said casually, "a child of an old friend." His parents are gone, and I kind of watched him grow up. You can rest assured of him. ”
Wei Yi nodded and stopped asking. He walked silently and quickly, quickly back to the Resistance's base. As soon as Wei Yi entered the door, he saw the old man and Wei Zitong standing in the room, obviously waiting for him to come back.
He felt a little warm in his heart and walked in quickly. "You're back!" Wei Zitong smiled at Wei Yi and asked, "How is it?" What's going on inside? ”
As soon as Wei Zitong's words fell, the other people in the room quickly gathered around. They all looked at Wei Yi with hopeful eyes, expecting Wei Yi to tell them the details of the inner city that they had never entered.
Wei Yi walked to the table in a few steps, picked up a kettle, and poured it a few times in a big gulp, and then explained the situation he had found out to everyone one by one.
After everyone listened, they were silent for a while, and then they studied with Wei Yi the location where the insider shopkeeper Wang might be detained. According to their analysis, they agreed that the most likely place for the king's treasurer to be imprisoned should be in the prison of the inner city palace.
After listening to this, Wei Yi silently wrote down the place, then got up and walked to the bed assigned to him, and lay down to rest in his clothes. The next night, Wei Yi went to the inner city again.
After some searching, he finally found the location of the Inner City Prison. It is a place that resembles an early private prison in Europe. There were several guards guarding the door.
Through the long corridor, several cells can be seen. Further inside, there is the place of interrogation. Wei Yi quietly touched the prison door, stared at the guards, and quietly thought of a way to get in.
The soldiers who were on the night vigil were not as attentive as they were during the day. They stayed together in groups of threes, chatting casually, passing the lonely time of the night. The occasional cat meow made the night feel extra deserted.
Wei Yi looked at the guards, thought for a while, and raised his hand to pick up a few stones from the ground. He threw a piece into the distance. The sound of "bang", the sound of stones hitting the ground, is particularly clear in the night,
The guards were startled and hurriedly got up. They quickly split into two groups, one group went to check on the situation, and the other group stayed at the door and continued to keep watch. The guards who went to check on it, looked at it for a moment, but found nothing, but only heard a few cat meows.
"Hey, it's a feral cat." Someone kicked a piece of gravel on the ground and said self-deprecatingly, "This cat really picks time." Now come out and jump. ”
"If it doesn't come out now, will it come out during the day? Evenings are cat's time. The other grinned and said a few casual words.
They laughed and got up and walked slowly back to the door. At this moment, the sound of stones falling to the ground suddenly sounded again in the distance. And this time, it was in several places, and it rang at the same time.
When the group of guards heard this, they immediately felt something different, and quickly separated and went to check on each other. And the guards guarding the door, also separated a few people, and went to check on each other.
But they looked at it for a while, but they didn't find anything, so they had to go back one after another. When the guards returned one after another, one of the guards took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and quietly dodged into the gate.
None of this was noticed by the other guards, who sat casually together, chatting and passing the rest of the time. As soon as dawn comes, they can leave the place and go home and get a good night's sleep.
None of the guards noticed it, and one of them was missing. The young man, now walking in the corridor of the prison, carefully searching for a target. And this person is none other than Wei Yi, who came quietly.
He took advantage of the slackness of the guards and the small mess he had created to quietly knock one of the guards unconscious. Under the guise of a guard, he entered the place without any danger and began his rescue operation.
Wei Yi walked in the corridor, and when he looked around, he saw that in each room, there were prisoners with bruises all over their bodies. Wei Yi shook his head, and among these people, he quickly looked for the king's shopkeeper.
He searched for a while, but found no one. Wei Yi "chuckled" in his heart, hurriedly pulled over a prisoner, and asked. But this question was asked nothing.
The prisoners here, like the people from the outer city, looked stupid, expressionless, and their eyes were blank. When Wei Yi saw it, he sighed and locked the man back.
"The prisoners here seem to have been poisoned with that kind of charming sanity." Wei Yi shook his head and walked to carefully examine each room by room.
He searched for a long time, and finally found the king's shopkeeper in a corner. When Wei Yi reached out to catch the shopkeeper Wang, he obviously felt that the shopkeeper's body trembled slightly.
Wei Yi was stunned in his heart, and continued to be overjoyed. The man somehow avoided the poison's corrosive effect on his sanity. In this case, this man must know where the antidote is.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm here to save you." Wei Yi whispered to the shopkeeper Wang.
The shopkeeper pretended not to hear, lowered his head, and said nothing. Wei Yi told him again, but the shopkeeper still pretended not to hear. Wei Yi shook his head and smiled, so he had to forcibly pull up the shopkeeper Wang and say it in his ear.
Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Wei Yi at this time, but he still had a strong sense of vigilance in his eyes. Wei Yi hurriedly took out the photo given to him by the old man from his coat pocket and showed it to the shopkeeper Wang.
When the shopkeeper Wang saw it, his body was obviously shocked. He looked at the photo in surprise and took a moment to react. He hurriedly asked Wei Yu, "Did he ask you to save me?" ”
Wei Yi knew that when the shopkeeper Wang said about him, he was referring to the old man. He nodded, answered, and said quickly: "Let's go, time waits for no one now." I've got to get you back right now. ”
Shopkeeper Wang hesitated, nodded, and walked with Wei Yi towards the outside of the prison. "You're here waiting for me for a while." Wei Yu let the shopkeeper hide in a dark corner, and he himself quickly walked out.
He acted according to the law again, causing a moment of confusion, and took the opportunity to get a guard's clothes again, and quickly returned. After asking Shopkeeper Wang to change his clothes, Wei Yi took Shopkeeper Wang through the prison gate and left quietly.
It wasn't until the next morning that the guards noticed something was wrong. But at this time, Wei Yi and Shopkeeper Wang had already arrived at a safe place.
