() The night is already deep.

It was pitch black everywhere, and there was not a shimmer of light. All you can touch is the cold walls and even colder iron fences.

This is the west courtyard of the Qin Palace, Xi'an, which was originally the residence of the palace guards and soldiers, but he is now in a prison in the west courtyard.

Since he was caught and locked up here that day, he has been anxious all day long, he was originally a cook in this palace, and he was also the princess's special cook, but he did something that could not be forgiven at all-

He actually poisoned and assassinated His Royal Highness King Qin, the second prince, and His Royal Highness King Yan, the fourth prince, who came to the mansion as a guest.

Although when he was caught, he told how he had been blackmailed, but he knew in his heart that it was all a lie. As early as seven years ago, he had been pulled into the "Flying Sword Alliance" by the alliance leader Ye Xian and became his confidant, and that Ye Xian also said more than once that he was an absolute "secret weapon".

But who would have thought that when it was time for him to make a move, he would be caught red-handed all of a sudden. All that remains are the lies that I don't know if I can deceive people. He had also tried to find out something from the soldiers who had brought him food, but these people simply regarded it as nothing, except for the mechanical movements of bringing food and taking away the utensils, let alone dialogue, and not even a glance at him.

It seems that there is really no hope-

As time passed, the cook's heart became more and more desperate.

But tonight seems to be a little different.

In the atmosphere of deathly silence in the past, there seemed to be some more sound, it was a sound that was cut off after being taken aback, and the cook was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his head and looked out the door.

There was not much time, and I saw a dark figure walk in from outside the prison door, and walked calmly to the fence with a calm and graceful step, and said in an almost commanding tone,

"Come here."

The cook, who had no hope in his heart, felt that there was nothing to fear, so he obediently got up and came to the fence to face the man.

The man flicked his left hand, lit up the fire, and took advantage of the light to shine on his face, and nodded.

"Yes, that's you."

The firelight flickered and danced, not only allowing the other party to see his face clearly, but also allowing him to see the other party's thin and clear face, as well as his tall and slender figure.

With some hesitation, the cook reluctantly dared to ask,

"You, you are ......"

"Don't bother, you know Wei Xiao, right?"

The man asked coldly.

Hearing this name, the cook's eyes suddenly lit up,

"Know, know, that's our fifth master."

"That's right, he asked me to save you."

The tone was still cold, and a bunch of keys had appeared in the man's right hand at some point, and he raised his hand to open the iron fence door.

"Come with me."

"Ah, that's ......"

The cook hurriedly followed him out, and when he passed the cell door, he almost tripped over the two government soldiers lying on the ground, and the man glared at him with some dissatisfaction, then threw the key in his hand on the government soldiers, turned and walked away.

The two of them went one after the other, evading the patrol guards, and came to the tall courtyard wall on the west side, only to see that the man in black suddenly reached out and grabbed the belt around his waist, and before the cook could understand what was going on, the person had already jumped onto the wall with the other party, and in an instant he left the palace compound.

The cook was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, and he held back for a long time before he just said the word "thanks", but was immediately interrupted by the other party.

"Don't talk nonsense, keep coming with me, I have to get you out of town."

"Now?"

The cook couldn't believe what the other man said.

The man in black gave him a blank look,

"Isn't it time to wait until dawn? At that time, the palace had already discovered that you had escaped, and the city was full of search, can you still get out of the city if you want to go out of the city?! ”

"Oh, yes......"

For some reason, the other party's momentum could always suppress him so much that he couldn't refute it, so he had to do what the other party said and follow him towards the city gate. Fortunately, the Qin Wangfu is on the corner of the Xi'an Mansion City, and if you don't walk very far, you can already see the tall city gate and the guards and soldiers walking back and forth.

What should I do to get out-

The cook looked at the man in black in front of him with a worried and strange thought of seeing a joke.

And the man in black didn't seem to have the slightest hesitation or hesitation at all, dropped the sentence "wait here", and quietly floated to the city wall.

The cook watched with astonishment as he skilfully evaded the soldiers, ascended the steps up the wall, evaded the guards at the top of the city, and finally came directly above him, and threw down a rope.

Is this for me to climb up-

It's a bit hard to know, but now it seems like the only way to do it. The cook stretched out his hands and grabbed the end of the rope, and just as he grasped it, a voice came from his ears,

"Hold on!"

How did this sound come from? When he was in a daze, he suddenly felt that the rope in his hand seemed to be alive, and quickly pulled him upward, and in the blink of an eye he had reached the top of the city.

The man in black moved quickly, and put the rope on the side outside the city.

"If you go down like this, you won't need me to pull you."

"Oh, yes."

The cook ran over and slipped down the rope, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he saw the man hurrying down from the city like an eagle with wings, and in an instant he was in front of him. Ignoring the rope, the man in black grabbed him and jumped over the moat along a ropeway that seemed to have been drawn in advance, and until this point, they had really escaped from Xi'an.

The cook was thrilled by this series of experiences, looked at the man in black who was still leading the way in front, and kept asking himself in his heart, is this guy a human, a ghost, or a fairy!

When he came to the edge of a forest, the man in black stopped him, and then led a horse out of the woods.

"Wei Xiao asked me to tell you that Feng Xiang's rudder can't go back, let you go back to the main altar quickly, he will wait for you there."

"Fengxiang rudder ......"

The cook's mouth opened wide in astonishment,

"How could it be......?"

"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go!"

The man in black frowned, and said impatiently,

"This horse has been given to you, you should hurry back as soon as possible."

"Thank you, thank you, dare to ask your name......"

The chef still wants to be polite and polite, and it is best to be able to get to know this rare master in the world.

But the other party didn't seem to have this intention, and before he could finish speaking, he interrupted him.

"I don't need you to thank you, I came to save you for Wei Xiao's sake, if you want to thank him, don't delay any more now, hurry up!"

"Good ......"

Seeing that people didn't want to talk to him more, and the cook didn't want to be bored, he took the reins and got on the horse, and went in the direction of Pingliang Mansion in a hurry.
