The dungeon of the Metropolitan Courtyard, with its stone walls pitted, exudes a stiff and gloomy atmosphere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The torches on the walls were still burning, crackling and exploding from time to time. The firelight illuminated the narrow corridors of the dungeon, and on both sides of the corridors were inlaid with iron doors, behind which were isolated cells. This is where the Inspectorate held important prisoners, and has now been requisitioned by the Central Army.

After the end of the counterinsurgency, it was overcrowded, and a large number of captured gendarmes and janissaries were imprisoned here.

At this time, on the wet ground of the corridor, rats crawled everywhere, looking around vigilantly while foraging for food. Suddenly, the entrance to the dungeon was pushed open, followed by the sound of sparse footsteps. The rats on the ground disappeared in an instant. The sleepy prisoners were also awakened, and they all flocked to the iron gate, peering through the small air window towards the entrance.

Not many people came, only three.

The first person was quickly recognized by the prisoners, he was the chief general of the Central Army, and a round face like a full moon was the biggest feature of the other party, and this person had a kind and black face. When the palace was broken, he ordered that "those who descend will not die, anyway, there will be merit", so countless people surrendered on the spot. As a result, a day and a night have passed since the surrender was captured, and all those who surrendered are still imprisoned in this dark dungeon, this bastard who does not keep his word!

Shi Qian didn't care about the hateful gazes cast on both sides, and swaggered forward. Behind him, there were two more people. One of them was wearing a black cloak and could not be seen as it really was. The other person was handsome and upright, and he was actually Yuan Zuo, the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

This discovery made the imprisoned Praetorian officers agitated, and they shouted through the small air window:

"Adult ......"

"Motosa-sama ......"

"My lord, are you here to get us out?"

......

Yuan Zuo can also be regarded as a revisit, and it was he who was taken out of this dungeon by Ah Heng. However, although Motozo heard the cries of the old detainees, he did not make any response. He just followed Shi Qian's footsteps and came to the end of the dungeon, and after turning a corner, he appeared in front of a remote cell.

Shi Qian personally opened the cell door, respectfully let go of the body, and waited for the mysterious man in the cloak to walk in, he took the iron door again and waited outside the door with Yuan Zuo.

Shi Qian saw that there was nothing to do, so he smiled and said to Yuan Zuo: "Lord Yuan Zuo, just now your old department called miserable, why didn't you say anything, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts!"

Yuan Zuo glanced at the other party and said calmly: "To pardon them, it can only be ordered by the Duke himself, how can I talk nonsense in front of the Duke?"

Shi Qian shook his head: "You are too stereotypical, the Duke has promised you that he will release these people, why don't you be a favor-"

Yuan Zuo frowned and said: "Kindness comes from above, and you must not give it to each other privately!"

Shi Qian pouted: "Lord Yuanzuo, you have only been with the Duke for a short time, and you don't know his lazy temperament. He's just a man who is afraid of trouble, and he wants to bring you here because he wants you to handle this matter on your own.

In the heart of the Duke, a Praetorian Guard that maintains its combat effectiveness is the most important thing. Besides, what he needs is your loyalty, not the loyalty of your old subordinates. Listen to me, and then tell those people that they are all free—and you will have to rely on them for support in the future!"

Regarding Shi Qian's words, Yuan Zuo was a little incredulous. As an officer of the Imperial Guard for many years, the strict concept of hierarchy and absolute obedience have been deeply rooted in Yuan Zuo's bones. This kind of thing...... How can it be so casual?

Shi Qian saw through the other party's thoughts, and said meaningfully: "Lord Duke said that everything is created in a hurry, trust is far more important than rules! Lord Duke needs brothers now, not subordinates! Lord Yuanzuo, you have to think about this point clearly." ”

When Yuan Zuo heard this, an inexplicable emotion rose in his heart - maybe only by following such a person can he really show his ambitions!

......

Inside the cell, the lights are on.

In the mess of dead grass, the black-clad military police officer, who was sleeping against the wall, opened his eyes, and he raised his head hesitantly, his face thin and pale.

The person who came lifted the cloak and revealed a young and handsome face, it was Ah Heng. He smiled slightly and said, "Lord Dai Luo!"

Dai Luo was startled: "It's you!" He struggled to get up, but he snorted and couldn't stand up. His face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down. Even the heavy handcuffs and shackles rattle!

Ah Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he found that in addition to the shackles, there was also a thin and invisible tough silk thread that passed through Dai Luo's ankles, calves, and thighs, connecting the three together, so that Dai Luo could only maintain this aggrieved curled up posture.

As soon as Dai Luo wanted to make a move, the silk threads would become like blades, cutting the muscles, nerves, and even meridians of his legs. It can be crippled at least and life-threatening at worst!

Ah Heng sighed in his heart, this was most likely a strange punishment made by the bastards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Dai Chen offended many people during his lifetime, and he died happily, but he couldn't imagine that these things would be repaid on his own brother!

Dai Luo finally recovered from the pain and said coldly: "You came here, are you trying to kill me?"

Ah Heng: "Kill you? No, even if I want to kill you, I will punish you and show you to the public in front of the people of the imperial capital." You must know that those people are eager to drink your blood and eat meat, and if the third watch kills you in the middle of the night, won't it be a disappointment to their good intentions?"

In the middle of the night, Dai Luo was stunned, the dungeon was dark, and he had no concept of time at all!

He immediately showed a look of vigilance, what was this cunning little fox doing in the middle of the night? He suddenly panicked - he had really been bullied by the other party in the palace before! No matter how he fought wits or courage, he was far from being able to compare with the young man in front of him......

Ah Heng looked at the other party's nervous expression, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry. I have no murderous intent towards you. Actually, on the contrary, I'm here to show you a way to live. ”

Dai Luo was stunned when he heard this, but said decisively: "No need, you should kill me!" He didn't believe Ah Heng's words at all, in Dai Luo's opinion, the other party's so-called way of life is only worse than death, this is simply a little devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones. It's better to die than to live, it's better to be killed and end up happy!

Ah Heng didn't know that his character had been ruined in the palace, and he thought that the other party was quite heroic! He sighed: "Since that's the case, then let's take care of me when I haven't been here! Poor General Yuanzuo still came to me to intercede for you-" He turned around and wanted to leave.

Dai Luo was stunned: "Yuan Zuo, where is he?"

Ah Heng: "Just outside the door, do you really want to see him?"

Dai Luo shook his head, knowing that the other party didn't need to lie to him. Dai Luo suddenly wavered, could it be that the other party really gave him a way to live?

Dai Luo was silent for a long time before he said, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Ah Heng took out a bright yellow scroll from his bosom: "It's very simple, in three days, send this holy decree to Huo Qing, the governor of the southwest!"

Dai Luo was surprised, the Holy Decree is gone, where did the Holy Decree come from? He immediately thought that the jade seal had fallen into the hands of this person, it seemed that this was an edict!

Dai Luo immediately understood that the content of this holy decree must be extremely secretive and even rebellious! The central army was loyal to the Imperial Family of Light, and once the content of this holy decree was known by the central army, this young man would inevitably betray his relatives and leave. But what could it be? Is it a rebellion?

Dai Chen looked at Ah Heng suspiciously: "Why do you believe me? Aren't you afraid that I will leak secrets?"

Ah Heng touched his nose and looked at the other party with a smile, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, because the answer was really hurtful.

Dai Chen reacted immediately, and couldn't help but feel extremely bitter in his heart. The other side does not need to think about the question of "believe or not believe" at all. Because he is now notorious, even if it leaks out, it will only become another ironclad evidence to frame Zhongliang -- since the killing of the so-called "Seven Righteous Soldiers", the gendarmes in the imperial capital city are now worse than rats crossing the street! Who would believe what he said!

Dai Chen: "Okay, I promise you!"

Ah Heng: "Don't you have to think about it anymore?"

Dai Chen shook his head, did he still have room to think about it? I believe that once he refused, he would be dragged to the palace gate early tomorrow morning to be sentenced to Ming Zheng! In any case, this at least seemed to be a good way to live!

Dai Chen: "When will you leave?"

Ah Heng: "Right now!" He walked in front of the other party, the ice blade flashed, and the silk thread that bound Dai Luo was suddenly broken, and the heavy handcuffs and shackles were torn like pieces of paper.

Dai Chen was shocked, such martial arts, I am afraid that he has already reached the peak of cultivation! Dai Luo, who had been curled up for a long time, stood up cautiously, although his legs were numb and unstoppable, but he had never felt more comfortable!

However, the next moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and a tingling pain came from his eyebrows. Immediately, a cloud of black mist actually burrowed into his body.

Dai Luo changed color and said, "What is that?"

Ah Heng smiled: "A little thing is good for you, it can prevent you from being half-hearted-"

Dai Luo: "Yes...... What will be the consequences-" He knew that this little fox would never be so kind!

Ah Heng patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, you can't die, at most, you just become an idiot!"

Dai Luo's face changed, and suddenly there was a violent tearing pain in his mind, as if he was about to split his head in half, which was actually pain that he had never felt before!

At this time, in Ah Heng's body, the tooth slave stepped on the body that was obviously smaller, and let out a wild laugh: "Holy and great master, my doppelganger tells me that this guy is starting to be half-hearted now, please allow the tooth slave to turn him into an idiot immediately!"

Ah Heng looked at the triumphant tooth slave and scolded: "You idiot! This person is of great use to me, if you dare to ruin my business, hum-" Immediately, golden Gu worms flew around the tooth slave.

The tooth slave said in fear: "O holy and great master! the tooth slave is just thinking about it, and has not yet put it into action--I don't dare anymore...... The master spared his life...... Ahh

After Ah Heng taught the strange bird who had not fought for three days and went up to the house to uncover the tiles, he clapped his hands outside the door. The iron door of the cell was pushed open again, and Shi Qian and Yuan Zuo immediately walked in and said respectfully, "My lord!"

Ah Heng smiled: "Lord Dai Luo has agreed to cooperate, and the rest will be left to you." ”

The two should be.

Ah Heng put on his cloak again. The next thing is the most crucial and important thing for him! If he can't finish the battle tonight, he will be trapped in the lonely city from now on, and he will even be declared a rebel by the other party. It is conceivable that once the righteousness is lost, the central army will inevitably lose its morale. And if the foundation is shallow, he will inevitably betray his relatives, and in the end he can only be gnawed by enemies from all sides!

Therefore, he can't retreat, he can only win, because there is a cliff behind him!
