"Retribution?" The leader of the guards frowned fiercely when he heard what the little guard said, and then turned around and saw that the little guard was slapped hard with his backhand.

A crisp sound echoed through the depths of the dungeon. All the guards were stunned by this crisp sound, and they looked at each other a few times, and they all saw a little dazed in each other's eyes.

"You want to die, but I don't want to bury you yet." The miserable eyes of the leader of the guards swept towards the guards, and the people who were swept by the eyes of the leader of the guards were silent for a while, and did not dare to speak, "Let me ask you, this captive was taken captive last night. And who of you noticed something unusual last night? ”

"Is it you, is it him, is it him?" The leader of the guards asked one by one, but the people who were asked all bowed their heads deeply and did not say a word. Apparently no one noticed anything unusual last night.

Even though none of the guards spoke, the leader of the guards had already received the answer he wanted, and continued: "It seems that none of you have noticed anything strange about it. And I, of course, didn't notice anything unusual. This shows that the strength of the people who came to save people is far above us. Am I half wrong about what I said? ”

Although what the head of the guards said made all the guards a little unwilling, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, admitting that what the head of the guards said was indeed the truth.

The leader of the guards looked at everyone and nodded, and then nodded with satisfaction, and said, "So, if we want to think about what are the chances of quietly snatching the captives back before His Royal Highness King Wu finds out?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, the head of the guard replied in front of himself, "It's almost impossible. At the moment, we only know that the captives were rescued by the masters, and nothing else is known. Not to mention the rest, the boundary of the capital alone is large enough, and there is a vast sea of people, where do we start? ”

Although they didn't want to admit it, the guards also had to admit the current situation, and what the head of the guards said was really right. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, not knowing what to say.

Just when everyone was silent, the leader of the guards spoke at the right time: "Instead of doing things that we are not capable of, it is better for us to go first...... Just keep it hidden. ”

This proposal is really something that everyone has never thought of before, and they can't help but widen their eyes, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

The leader of the guards didn't care about everyone's expressions, he just said to himself: "His Royal Highness King Wu has not been in this courtyard for several days, so he must have forgotten the hostages in this courtyard." In this case, it is better to have more than one thing, and it is better not to report it. ”

After hearing the proposal of the head of the guards, the guards were speechless, and then discussed for a while, and then accepted the proposal of the head of the guards, which was not particularly reliable.

In the past few days, everyone was still faintly worried in their hearts, if Gu Zhiheng came to check and found that the courtyard was already empty, what should they do. Unexpectedly, for a long time after that, Gu Zhiheng did not come, which also made the guards relax their vigilance and no longer think about it.

Unexpectedly. Just when the guards were the most relaxed, Gu Zhiheng came to the courtyard with He Nuanliang. The guards stationed at the gate of the courtyard saw a carriage coming from a distance, and they panicked when they boarded.

Although Gu Zhiheng in order to avoid people's eyes, he never drove the carriage of Wu Wangfu every time he came, but deliberately prepared a slightly more modest one. But this can't hide from the guards in the other courtyard, seeing this ordinary carriage, they also understand that the person sitting in it is His Royal Highness King Wu.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard was panicked, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. Seeing Gu Zhiheng's carriage getting closer and closer, all the guards panicked, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the carriage of Gu Zhiheng and the others had already stopped at the gate of the other courtyard, Gu Zhiheng got out of the car first, and then He Nuanliang. As soon as Gu Zhiheng got out of the car, he looked at the guards standing densely at the gate of the courtyard, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "What are a bunch of people doing here?" Don't go back and look at the captive. ”

Being stared at by Gu Zhiheng like this, the guards were naturally very flustered. You push me, I push you, and in the end, the leader of the guards, who was still standing in the first place, stubbornly said: "This is the subordinate who came out to greet you when he saw you coming." ”

"I see." Gu Zhiheng's face was expressionless, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking, "This king is also worried that you lost the hostages held by Haosheng, so you came out to apologize." ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Gu Zhiheng was originally just an unintentional joke, but it was the right red heart and pressed on everyone's hearts. However, everyone didn't dare to show it at this time, so they could only think about where to hide it first.

At this moment, He Nuanliang, who had been standing beside him, couldn't hold it back. Ning Xinyi's unusual behavior of not responding to a letter for several days had already made He Nuanliang secretly vigilant, and at this time she almost couldn't wait, wanting to take a look at Ning's father and mother, and then threaten Ning Xinyi.

But in front of the guards, He Nuanliang still had to hold a reserved shelf, so he could only whisper to Gu Zhiheng: "Your Highness." ”

Although He Nuanliang didn't finish the rest of the words, Gu Zhiheng already understood it, stretched out his hand and patted He Nuanliang's hand, signaling her to be restless, then raised his eyes, and glanced at the guards lightly: "This king is going to the dungeon right now to see the two prisoners who are being held." ”

When Gu Zhiheng said this, everyone also understood that at this time, no matter what, it would not be able to go on. In desperation, he could only kneel on the ground and say to Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang: "The crimes of the subordinates deserve death." ”

As soon as Xi's words came out, the two of them tightened their hearts. Gu Zhiheng was already a little angry at the moment, and looked at everyone with a frown: "What the hell is going on, what are you kneeling down in?" ”

Gu Zhiheng's eyes turned to the leader of the guards: "You can explain to this king well, what is going on now?" ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Wu personally named him, although the head of the guard was trembling, he could only answer honestly: "Back to His Highness." The captives in the dungeon...... Someone has rescued him. ”

This short sentence, but the leader of the guards stumbled, interrupted several times, and Gu Zhiheng finally understood what the leader of the guards meant, and he was furious.

"You mean the captives have gone?" Gu Zhiheng was already angry at this moment, and immediately lifted the collar of the head of the guard, and asked angrily, "Why didn't you report it to this king earlier?" ”

Although the poor leader of the guards was pinched by the neck and had difficulty breathing, he couldn't help but quibble: "I was just arrested today, and my subordinates just wanted to report to you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

At this time, Gu Zhiheng didn't believe a word of what the leader of the guards said, and after hearing it, he only sneered and said, "Will you easily listen to your nonsense when you are the king?" The king will see it for himself. ”

After that, Gu Zhiheng didn't care about the expressions of the guards, he only sneered, and entered the courtyard angrily, at this time, He Nuanliang was also angry and resentful in his heart, glared at everyone a few times, and then walked in.

After the two walked in, they didn't go anywhere else, but walked straight to the dungeon deep in the courtyard. The guards on the side saw that they couldn't stop it, and they were helpless in their hearts, but they also followed the steps of Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang.

When you enter the dungeon, everything is naturally revealed, and nothing can be hidden—the door of the prison has long been broken, and the objects in the prison are covered with a layer of dust.

Looking at such a scene, Gu Zhiheng couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head angrily, looked at the guards, and said angrily: "This is what you said, but you just got rescued?" ”

Seeing that everything could not be hidden, the head of the guard had no choice but to say helplessly: "If you go back to the prince, you can't hide it, this captive has already been rescued." Just ......"

"Just thinking that this king has not come to this courtyard for a long time, I think that I can hide it for a while and not report it to this king?" Although the leader of the guards didn't say the rest of the words, Gu Zhiheng already had a guess and said in a deep voice.

That's what the guards really thought in their hearts, and they couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard the words, not knowing what to say. The more silent they looked, the more angry Gu Zhiheng became, and he couldn't help but reprimand.

"What did this king teach you? Didn't you already give a special order, whether the king is here or not, you must take good care of the captives in this courtyard, and the two of them will be of great use to the king. Gu Zhiheng was already angry, and a slap slapped straight into the face of the head of the guards, and a hot red mark flashed on the face of the head of the guards, and he couldn't stand up when he landed, and fell to the ground.

The leader of the guards did not dare to refute at this time, so he could only use his strength to kneel down, and then he knelt on the ground and trembled, not even having the strength to raise his head. The rest of the guards also knelt on the ground, silent.

At this time, He Nuanliang was a little calmer than Gu Zhiheng, although he was also angry, he retained a little reason after all. He Nuanliang took a deep breath, then reluctantly resisted the impulse to look at everyone, frowned and asked, "How did the captives be rescued, and you can tell the palace one by one about the details." ”

The leader of the guards was stared at by He Nuanliang, so he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and he thought about the two of them about the day in 1510. But what happened that day was said by the head of the guards, and it was no different from not saying it.

After the description of the head of the guards, Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang only knew that Ning's father and Ning's mother had already been rescued by the master a few days ago, and other than that, they had not received any useful information.
