Chapter 8 The Tao is ruthless but affectionate
Xu Biyi chatted with Chu Liuyan for a while, then went to find sweet potatoes and cooked for Chu Liuyan to eat. No sooner had she lit the fire than the courtyard door was pushed open.
"Brother Chong, are you back?" Xu Biyi jumped up and went out to greet her.
"Zhu Chongba has just been here?" In the courtyard, a man in his twenties walked in. The man had a long jade body and a face like a crown of jade, although he was wearing a coarse green coat, he could not hide his free and dignified temperament at all.
"Brotherβ" Xu Biyi looked at him and said weakly, "Brother Chong has already taken people away." They went to the city to look for you. "This man is Xu Da.
"What do you want me to do? Aren't you afraid I'll break his legs? Xu Da was quite unkind when he spoke.
Xu Biyi shook her arm in protest: "Brother, it's Miss Chu looking for you, it's not Brother Chong looking for you, Brother Chong is just acting bravely and helping Miss Chu." β
Xu Da said expressionlessly, "I don't know Miss Chu. With that, he had already walked into the room.
"This is Miss Chu." Xu Biyi pointed to Chu Liuyan and introduced it to Xu Da.
Xu Da had already seen Chu Liuyan. Chu Liuyan stood up, his posture was graceful and weak, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. Her expression was downcast, and her eyes were detached, but she couldn't hide her beauty at all.
Xu Da couldn't help but be stunned. He has read countless people, but a woman with a unique temperament and literary style like Chu Liuyan has never been seen.
"Miss Chu?" Xu Da settled down: "What are you looking for me?" β
Before Chu Liuyan could speak, Xu Biyi had already preemptively said, "Brother, Miss Chu's father was framed by the dog county official and arrested and put in prison. You help Miss Chu and rescue her father. Anyway, you're the warden and everyone else has to listen to you. You say release people, who dares to say no? β
"Nonsense." Xu Da reprimanded his sister and said: "I'm just a prison warden, I still have a big lord above me, and a big lord has a code above me." Whether I am guilty or not, I have to go through the trial of the eldest master, how can I be the Lord? β
"Brother, when did you become so confused. That dog county official clearly used his power for personal gain and framed Miss Chu, how could he give a fair ruling? Hmph, if you don't rescue Miss Chu's father, you will be in the same league as the dog county official. You taught me to be 'a gentleman and be right', and now you don't admit it yourself! Xu Biyi stomped her feet to express the anger in her heart.
"Biyi, you won't understand." Xu Da's complexion changed slightly, but then returned to normal.
When Chu Liuyan saw Xu Da's words, he already felt that he was a wise person who protected himself, and he did not want to be known to the princes, nor did he want to destroy him in troubled times. Now seeing that Xu Da is unwilling to help, it is reasonable.
Chu Liuyan is easy-going, but his temperament is very arrogant, and he is very stubborn in his bones. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Biyi." Xu Gongzi has his own difficulties, but the little sister is abrupt. It's not early, and it's really too much to bother for so long. I'll take my leave. β
"Miss Chu!" Xu Biyi tugged at her sleeve: "Sister Chu, don't leave yet, let me talk to my brother slowly." My brother is very soft-hearted......"
"No need. Later, Zhu Gongzi will come, help me thank him for his kindness. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. After speaking, Chu Liuyan didn't wait for Xu Biyi to stay, and had already walked out of the chaimen with his sword. Xu Da looked at her back, lonely, but arrogant, and her heartstrings couldn't help but touch.
After Chu Liuyan walked out of Xu's house, he had already made up his mind: rob the prison.
It's just like Zhu Chongba said, she can't act rashly, but everything must be planned. In this way, her father can be rescued, otherwise, if she loses her life, her father will die in vain, which is really not worth it.
Chu Liuyan made a set of plans: when it was quiet in the dead of night, around the third watch, when basically everyone was asleep, she could sneak into the cell and rescue her father. took his father away and flew away, left Zhongli County far away, and never came back.
It's night, and it's as cool as water. County office.
A black shadow is like a swimming dragon, passing through the eaves of the county office. His steps were slight, and in the quiet darkness of the night, he made only a faint sound. He took every step carefully, as if he was afraid of alarming the silence of the heavens and the earth. After jumping off the verandah, he took three steps and made two steps, and tiptoed towards the northwest corner.
In the northwest corner, there is the prison cell of the county government. This person seems to be familiar with all the layouts of the county government. He was quick to avoid the sleepy jailer and enter the cell.
The man had just sneaked into the cell for a while when another black figure entered the cell. This figure seems to be a woman, with a graceful posture and high skills, and it is like a flying swallow wherever it passes, leaving no sound. She looked at the open door of the cell and was slightly surprised, wondering if it was a trap set by someone from the county government.
She hesitated slightly, but walked in without hesitation. She had just taken a few steps into the cell when she suddenly collided with two people opposite, and she immediately pressed the hilt of her sword, ready to fight.
In the dim light of the cell, I heard a trembling old man shouting: "Smoke! β
The woman was secretly frightened and couldn't help but whisper: "Dad! β
It turned out that the woman in the night clothes was Chu Liuyan, who planned to come to save her father at night, and the old man who called her name just now was her father Chu Gaoyuan.
"Yan'er, it was this hero who saved me." Chu Gaoyuan said.
The night walker, who was also dressed in black, said softly, "It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go out first." β
Chu Liuyan nodded, and the two of them walked outside with Chu Gaoyuan on one side. As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Oh no, no, the prisoner has escaped!" β
Immediately afterwards, the lights were bright and the people were noisy, and I saw that there were torches coming and going, and there were torches slowly approaching this way.
The black-clothed night walker lowered his voice and said, "You take your father first, and I will be behind." β
Chu Liuyan nodded, and went to help Chu Gaoyuan. Chu Gaoyuan let out a "ahhhhh It turned out that he was punished by the court staff in prison, and his body was injured, and he was already in unbearable pain after walking such a way just now, and he endured it to himself. Just now Chu Liuyan went to help him, he couldn't help it, so he called out.
When the man in black heard Chu Gaoyuan shouting, he already understood what was going on. Chu Liuyan naturally understood in his heart. She pondered for a moment, and said to the man in black, "You leave first with my father on your back, and I will come to the back of the palace." β
The man in black looked at Chu Liuyan worriedly. There are many people in the yamen, and it is not so easy to escape.
Chu Liuyan said in an undeniable voice: "Hurry up! β
