Chapter 374: Mutual Fear and Survival (4)
The official at the gate yawned, rubbed his hands, and threw the charcoal into the stove.
He was on duty in the yamen, and he didn't have so many things, but suddenly he said that he had caught the imperial court, and it was not only them who suffered this night, but also the soldiers next door.
Fortunately, there was a gatehouse inside the yamen, so they would not be frozen outside.
The official tightened his clothes, it was cold, and he came out to suffer this crime without anything, so that the official couldn't help but wonder if he wanted to change his errand?
Looking towards the door, and seeing that there was no movement outside, the servant stuck his poked head back, shivered, complained about the cold, and draped the quilt he had brought from home on the table over his body.
Leaning back in his chair, he yawned again and closed his eyes.
This official didn't find anyone outside the door at all, and these people didn't have any energy, so he put this little official in his eyes, and one by one he quickly crossed from the wall to the yamen as if he had entered a no-man's land.
Their goal is very simple, three people in prison.
Some were even too lazy to hide their figures, and more than 20 people, in a mighty way, rushed to the prison located in the back hall of the yamen.
This prison in the back hall was built as a temporary prison for the convenience of adults arraigning prisoners, and now, in order to protect the four people who live in it, the prefectural ordinance can be said to have gathered the strength of the entire prefecture.
Although these soldiers and servants are not as powerful as these people in the rivers and lakes, the appearance of guarding outside this prison is still awe-inspiring.
Even from below, these soldiers and servants could see these people rushing towards this direction.
"Who dares to trespass on the county government so boldly?"
Obviously, these officials and soldiers have also listened to too many stories and have no actual combat experience at all, and of course these people from Yue Guo will not report to their homes, and only the rapid moves of people from Yue Guo will greet these people.
He didn't have much actual combat experience, so he was naturally beaten by these experienced Vietnamese people and abandoned his armor and huddled in the cell step by step.
The rescued people obviously didn't want to kill them, at most they just crippled them and lost their combat effectiveness.
Their purpose is not to kill people, just to save people, and now in order to fear the counterattack of the Yue Kingdom, they try their best to let them clean up the mess and take care of the disabled, instead of freeing up manpower to chase them.
Of course, these officials and soldiers are not the opponents of these people, there are just a few people in the cell, Yang Guangkun saw someone coming in, and immediately looked over there, but after figuring out the situation, he felt that something was wrong.
"Who is Yang Guangkun?"
Okay, this is really related to himself, but this Yang Guangkun thought about it, and he didn't find anyone in his memory, with such a big energy, so many people could come to rob prison for themselves.
Yang Guangkun didn't speak easily, and there weren't many people in the prison, even if he didn't want to speak, it wouldn't take long to get him out of this group of people.
It's just that compared to these strangers, Yang Guangkun is still willing to believe in the county government.
Although these people had never seen Yang Guangkun, they knew that she was not the only one who knew the news of Xiao Qi, so they set their eyes on the only woman in the prison.
"You're Li Wangjun, right?"
When Li Wangjun heard these people's questions, he hugged Xiao Jiu'er even tighter, not daring to look at the person who asked him.
"Since the girl doesn't answer, then I'll take it as a girl's own acquiescence."
Seeing Li Wangjun seeing the child in her arms, the person who asked the question was already ninety percent sure, looking around, there were still five or six people left, of different ages, and they couldn't guess which one was Yang Guangkun from the way they dressed?
As long as one is arrested, he has to worry about the uneven distribution of spoils, and just when the other person wanted to speak, Yang Guangkun jumped out by himself.
"I'm Yang Guangkun, I'm going to take me with me."
"You are Yang Guangkun?"
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname!"
The two men were taken away, and the remaining servants and soldiers were dealt with by the two gangs early, and they were the same as before, not asking for their lives, but only knocking them unconscious or maimed.
Staying in the city was a problem, and these people, with Yang Guangkun and Li Wangjun's mother and daughter, quickly crossed the city wall and joined the brothers who were waiting outside the city, injured by snow blindness.
Lord Lan and Master Xi also had a group of injured brothers, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and this was a small grass house.
"I want to ask you two about something, but you two are in prison, and we can only use this method, please come out, I hope you two don't be surprised."
Li Wangjun was already pale with fright at this time, just holding Xiao Jiu'er in his arms, but Yang Guangkun showed an alternative calmness.
"Are you also doing it for the sake of the gentleman?"
"Sir?" The male looked stunned, and said solemnly, "If I am not mistaken, the gentleman in the mouth of the prince is the seventh lady of the Zhang family, right?" ”
"Yes, if you want to know where they are, you have to promise me first, and you can't hurt us?"
Lord Lan smiled, "You two are my honored guests, of course I don't dare to do anything to them, please rest assured of this." ”
"If so, we're here to take her home."
"Are you from the Zhang family?"
The head of Xi, who had been silent, snorted coldly, "Zhang family? What is the Zhang family? I won't tell you anything, the seventh lady in your mouth is the princess of my Yue Kingdom. ”
This kind of relationship can make Yang Guangkun a little unintelligible, of course, Yang Guangkun doesn't need to understand, he just needs to take Li Wangjun's mother and daughter to leave safely now.
"Young Master Yang, don't think about finding a random place to fool us, I won't go around in circles with the two of you, before you see our princess, you two have to accompany you."
Yang Guangkun now wants to scold people in his heart, what about this basic trust between people?
I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it on my lips, "Since the two of us want to live, of course we won't deceive you." ”
"It's so good, we like to deal with smart people the most."
"After talking for so long, why don't you hurry up and ask Her Royal Highness where the princess is?"
Yang Guangkun glanced at the man who spoke, and saw a hint of cruelty in his eyes, looking at the people in the room for so long, this was the only person who could let Yang Guangkun guess what he was thinking.
As for the others, they all had dead faces, and the two leaders, Li Yang and Guangkun, couldn't guess what the two of them were thinking now.
"Junior Brother Xi, don't worry, the two distinguished guests are now in our hands, and we can discuss this matter at any time."
It was the younger brother of the head of the Xi family who spoke, and he was the third leader of their faction, and when he heard that he was called his junior brother as Lord Lan, there was a slight displeasure in his eyes.
Master Xi seemed to have guessed what this Lord Lan wanted to do, and sneered, "Lord Lan, there are some tricks that you can fool my brother, but do you think you can fool me?" ”
Lord Lan smiled stupidly: "Master Xi, you are joking, how can I play some little tricks, but the two distinguished guests are tired all the way, let's let the family rest first, this is the most important thing." ”
Head Xi hugged his fists and said to Yang Guangkun: "This little brother Yang, brother, how many years older than you, call you a little brother, I must be able to bear it, Ming people don't say secret words, don't hide from you, Her Royal Highness the princess wanders outside for one more day, for us subordinates, it is one more day of blame." ”
Yang Guangkun snorted coldly in his heart, and did not listen to the words of the head of Xi into his ears, you said that you are from the Yue Kingdom, and you also said that my husband is the princess of your Yue Kingdom, I will believe you? Are you me, Yang someone, a three-year-old child?
"Sir's safety, as his disciple and student, of course I'm worried, but Mr. once said that there are many places she is going to, but the only one who has not said that he is going to Yueguo?"
Yang Guangkun looked at the demeanor of these two people, it seemed that he could bargain with each other, and wanted to know the bottom line of the other party, which step was it?
It would be best if he didn't reveal the whereabouts of Mr., and at the same time he could rescue the three of them, but Yang Guangkun himself knew that this was tantamount to a fool's dream.
The two frowned, as if they were thinking about something, and looked at each other, wanting to let the other speak first.
Lord Lan raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and said happily: "Young Master Yang, are you doubting the identities of the two of us?" ”
Yang Guangkun was thinking about how these two people would explain, but he didn't expect that he would directly pick out Yang Guangkun's thoughts.
"How is it possible to doubt the two of you?"
How can it be? How can I not doubt you.
"Presumably Young Master Yang, you also know what happened in your inn a few days ago!"
Yang Guangkun frowned and said, "I've heard a little." ”
Yang Guangkun didn't connect these two people with the gang that forced Xiao Qi to leave a few days ago, which is no wonder, after all, Yang Guangkun saw them leave with Xiao Qi, let alone expect that they would return to this small city because of snow blindness.
"Since Yang Gongzi knows, then you should know that now our princess is in danger, if she doesn't save people as soon as possible, what will happen? I think Yang Gongzi, you can't be at ease, right? ”
If Yang Guangkun is not worried about Xiao Qi, it is pure nonsense, after all, he is a teacher and a father for life on this day, although this community is a woman and is still younger than himself, but this Yang Guangkun acknowledges the fate of this master and apprentice after all.
In order not to affect himself, the master left early, at this moment Yang Guangkun didn't know her whereabouts, and he didn't even know whether Xiao Qi and them were safe, how could this make Yang Guangkun not worry and be anxious.
Seeing a trace of trance in Yang Guangkun's eyes, Lord Lan continued: "We only learned about the princess after many inquiries, but when we arrived here, we were still a step late, and we only learned the news that the princess was chased out of the city, but we couldn't save her from the thieves, we people really deserve to die!" ”
