East of the city, Mingyu Tower.

Thundered.

There was a roar under the pouring rain, and in the alley on the side of the black ya, a groove more than a foot deep suddenly sank, and the green bricks turned up and the soil was exposed, revealing the black masonry below.

Qiu Tianhe, who was petting the cat in the yard next to him, was passively startled and a carp bounced up, looking around blankly.

And the fast catcher who stayed in the yamen rushed out of the yamen, and the noise was everywhere:

"What's going on?"

"Someone robbed a prison"

Knock knock.

The sound of war drums sounded from above the five-story Mingyu Tower, and it spread far away to the Cloud Safety City, and the fast soldiers patrolling the various blocks quickly galloped towards the Mingyu Tower.

In the dungeon, a huge vibration was heard, and there was a sudden noise in dozens of cells on the first floor, and the sound of chains dragging and exclamations made the dead dungeon boil instantly:

"What's wrong?!"

"Earth dragon turned over?"

"Let us out, it's going to collapse"

Boom.

As soon as he shouted, a heavy sealing stone fell on the door of the cell.

There were also numerous arrow holes in the walls and corridors of the cell.

Click.

The dungeon was silent for a moment.

On the second floor of the dungeon, the reaction was much smaller, after all, there were only less than ten people living there.

In the central cell, the Wang brothers, who were sleeping against the corner, were awakened by a huge tremor.

Wang Er dragged the heavy iron chain and stood up, feeling that the ground was trembling, and his eyes were blank:

"The ground seems to have collapsed, what's going on?"

Wang Chengjing's martial arts are higher, and after feeling it slightly, he leaned on the floor and listened:

"There is the sound of hoes digging through the wall, and someone is robbing the prison!"

Wang Er really didn't expect that on the second day of imprisonment, he would encounter such a beautiful thing!

But before he could ponder the troubled waters, he suddenly found that a black boulder had moved out of the wellhead above, blocking the only exit, and completely turning the stone chamber into a hollow box.

And in the few small holes that were originally located at the top of the stone chamber, there was a "clang" sound, and a large amount of black mist was spewed out.

"Hey?!hey!!"

Wang Er saw the poisonous smoke pressing down from above, his face turned pale with shock, and he leaned towards the corner of the wall, his eyes were terrified:

"Is this cartilage?"

The stone room is not big, and it is still in chains, so there is no place to hide.

Wang Chengjing thought it was the smoke of anesthetizing prisoners, but he didn't want to resist, but as soon as he sniffed his nose, the pungent and pungent pungency entered his nose, and his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly lay on the ground:

"It's a poisonous dragon miasma! Get down on your stomach and don't move!"

When Wang Er heard this word, his face turned white on the spot - the poisonous dragon miasma is highly poisonous, it is stained into the flesh, the middle hand is cut off, the middle leg is cut off, if it is the middle torso, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is nothing more than the difference between resisting a few hours and resisting a few days, and if you don't understand it, you will die, because it is too ruthless, the pharmacist was directly incorporated by the imperial court, which is a unique secret medicine of the government.

Seeing the poisonous smoke slowly pressing down from above, Wang Er knew that this was the 'dead hand system' of the black government to prevent the escape of the second-layer felons, and was ready to eliminate all the felons on the second-floor indiscriminately, so he immediately shouted:

"Cell boss! Cell boss! Lao Tzu didn't escape from prison, I was wronged"

Wang Chengjing lay on the ground and said in a low voice:

"I can't hear it outside, don't move, the faster the blood goes, the faster I die, there is a king doctor in the capital, the people who robbed the prison have been eliminated, maybe we can be rescued back"

Wang Er's eyes were frightened, and he hurriedly shut up, and found that the tapping sound below was continuous, and he couldn't help but scold:

"Can you fucking hurry up? Don't hurt the innocent. ”

Wang Chengjing actually wanted to scold, after all, if he was replaced by the devil next door, he might be able to resist poisoning for a long time.

And the combined comprehensive strength of his brothers is equivalent to you Bai Lin, barely qualified to live on the second floor of the dungeon.

But the opponent can fight together, and the poisoning is obviously not possible for the two to fight together, and yesterday I also suffered serious internal injuries, and I soaked in a poisonous medicine bath here, and I had to die in half an hour at most.

Wang Chengjing realized that something was wrong, and also shouted:

"My lord! My brothers can't bear it! We don't run adults!"

No response.

At the same time, there are three basement floors.

Compared with the dimly lit second floor, the third basement floor is much more spacious, it is a hall, surrounded by bookshelves, in the middle is a tea table and a desk, behind the mahogany partition, and a bed for sleeping.

The first layer fell down the door sealing stone, the second layer directly sprayed poisonous gas, and the third layer did not move.

After all, it is not the ferocious bandits who are locked up here, but the old servants who are conscientious and loyal to the Dongfang Clan.

Although Gonggong Cao was not loyal to the empress, he was indeed the most loyal person to the Dongfang Clan's royal family, and there was no one.

Anyone in the world can kill Gonggong Cao, but the empress cannot, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Jiazi has been conscientious and selfless dedication so far, and has made the world know that Gonggong Cao is the most trustworthy and loyal servant of the imperial family, and his influence is enough to interfere with the court, but he has never crossed the line once, but he is just obscure The servant next to the Son of Heaven, whoever inherits the throne according to the patriarchal law, will meticulously saddle the front and back of the horse; The empress was killed when she ascended the throne, which is equivalent to publicly admitting that she was not in the right position.

Therefore, the position of the eunuch of Gonggong Cao's palm seal is still there, and he claims to the outside world that he is also old and retired in the capital.

On the bookcase in the large room, an oil lamp was lit, and the old eunuch in the twilight was sitting cross-legged in front of the desk, wearing the red robe of the eunuch with the palm seal of the celebrant and the eunuch.

Growing up in Miyagi since childhood, he has paid attention to etiquette all his life, even if he is in prison, his red robe is still neat without any wrinkles, and even his white hair is meticulously combed.

Gonggong Cao has practiced the Zhuyan diagram, and he can't see his age when he is young, but his skills have been scattered for ten years, and the corners of his eyes are still wrinkled, and he looks like a thin old man about sixty years old.

Jingle bell.

The sound of stone shattering came from under the wooden floor, and soon a pickaxe pierced through it, and the floor was hammered open with a punch.

Bang.

Grandpa Cao's robe was blown by the air waves, and he didn't react at all, but slowly turned the book over the page.

"Father-in-law?"

Cao Aning crawled out of the cave and saw the old eunuch sitting behind the bookcase, almost crying with joy, ran to him and knelt directly on the floor, and said urgently:

"Father, go quickly. I dug through the ground, and let the masters of the court be restrained in the west of the city, and even the night terror hall that was like a god was pulled away by my yang scheme, and now I am leaving unimpeded.11 ”

Cao Aning's eyes were full of excitement, after all, it was easy to deceive King Wu, but it was too difficult to deceive the ubiquitous and omniscient King of Night Yama.

If it weren't for his original plan, he would have thrown a watermelon directly to the court in order to save Sesame, so that the court had to sacrifice the light and focus on dealing with King Wu, and with the impermanence of the night terror, the prison robbery would not have been possible.

Gonggong Cao closed the book, raised his eyes, and looked at the young man kneeling in front of him with excited eyes:

"A-Ning hasn't seen you for ten years, you've grown up; Let you save our family, is it King Liang or King Yan? ”

Cao Aning saw that Cao Gonggong was full of old age, almost unrecognizable, he was slightly stunned, and then took a medicine box from the hands of his subordinates who came out from behind, knelt in front of him, and put it on the table:

"It's the green bandits, who claim to be Yan Bugui, and help me find a way to match. This is the secret medicine that the green bandit got from the Northern Liang Medical Saint, which can help the righteous father break away some of the qi veins. ”

Father-in-law Cao sighed: μ you have learned to lie to your father-in-law for ten years. When your father-in-law leaves the capital, where are you going to take your father-in-law? ”

Cao Aning opened the pill box, revealing the pills inside:

"My father-in-law taught me since I was a child to protect the royal family of the Great Wei. The eldest princess usurped the throne and ascended the throne, which is not in line with the sectarian law, and the throne will inevitably fall into the hands of a foreign surname in the future. I have been operating in secret for the past ten years, and among the kings, King Yan is the most powerful and highly respected, and this throne should be inherited by King Yan......"

"That's what King Yan asked you to come to."

Gonggong Cao didn't look at the medicine box, and said earnestly:

"The father-in-law is the housekeeper, in charge of the daily trivial matters of the Oriental family, whoever is the head of the family, the father-in-law will listen to whom's arrangement, the attention of outsiders to play the family business, the father-in-law has to take care of it, but several sons compete for the family property, and the housekeeper is not qualified to ask."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is a daughter, forged the will of the first emperor, united with her relatives to seize power, and won the country unjustly; In the future, he gave birth to an heir to inherit the throne, which was even more inconsistent with the patriarchal law, so the servant of the father-in-law had to persuade and stop it.

"And the emperor's eldest son was deposed by the courtiers, and the courtiers set up a new monarch, which is a state affair, who should be accepted into Beijing to succeed to the throne, should be decided by the courtiers, the father-in-law is a palace person, he is not qualified to interfere, let alone think about who to interfere with the choice of the new monarch, do you understand what it means?"

Cao Aning blinked: "But now that the eldest princess has ascended the throne, the emperor will definitely change hands in the future. Support the king of Yan to ascend to the throne, the imperial system is still in the hands of the Dongfang family, if the empress will cut off the military power of the kings in the future and completely monopolize the power, I and other retainers will not be able to return to the sky, what face will there be under Jiuquan to see the first emperor and Taizu"

Cao Gong M shook his head: "Do you really think that King Yan asked you to pick up your father-in-law to Yanzhou?" The father-in-law is just a martial artist, no matter how high his talent is, he can't be as high as Fengguancheng, and no matter how thick his background is, he can't be as thick as the master of Buddhism and Taoism. King Yan has thousands of troops and horses, and there is a lack of such a guard as his father-in-law? ”

"Everyone in the world knows that the father-in-law is loyal to the royal family, and the father-in-law stands on the side of King Yan, just say, 'The first emperor felt that the emperor's eldest son was incompetent, and he had the intention of letting King Yan succeed to the throne' There is a basis for King Yan's succession."

"The first emperor didn't say this, he only said, 'It's a pity that Yuhu is not a man'."

Father-in-law Cao looked at Cao Aning and sighed lightly:

"Besides, who do you think is the emperor, relying on the meaning of the first emperor? The eldest princess can take out a will out of thin air, and King Yan lacks a word from the old eunuch of our family? ”

Cao Aning blinked: "The green bandits are planning so much, the purpose is indeed to let the child save his father-in-law."

"In all dynasties, there has never been a palm print eunuch who defected to a different place, was born in the imperial city, and died in the imperial city, and the kings know this."

Gonggong Cao looked at Cao Aning: "The eldest princess is not a new monarch elected by the courtiers or even the clan, they know that as long as the father-in-law leaves this cell, he will return to the palace and continue to persuade Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to return to power, or die in the palace." ”

"Their purpose is just to use their father-in-law as a testing stone, and they want to find out the depth of the guards around the eldest princess, you have been deceived by them."

Cao Aning knelt on the ground and thought for a while:

Whatever they mean, the child has already done it, and it is enough not to do what they want. Let's go out and hide in the market, and wait for the coup d'état in the capital that day, and the new monarch of the Dongfang family will come up, and we will come back to assist the new monarch......"

Gong Cao shook his head: "My father-in-law is the eunuch who holds the seal of the master of ceremonies, and the eldest princess has never abolished her father-in-law's official position, how can my father-in-law 'abscond in fear of crime'?" If you can't persuade the eldest princess, you can't save the imperial inheritance, and your father-in-law should die in front of the palace gate like her ancestors. ”

My father-in-law had already lost ten years ago, and now he is dying in vain.

"Death is death. The eldest princess is not in the right position, but her talent can crown the ancient and modern, and she will become a generation of heroes, which can make the Great Wei usher in an unprecedented prosperous era. ”

Father-in-law Cao picked up the pill on the table and threw it into his mouth:

"My father-in-law is a domestic servant, I can't go against the will of the first emperor and be loyal to the eldest princess, but I can't stop the eldest princess, a useless old waste, I should have died ten years ago."

"The eldest princess is a descendant of the Dongfang clan, even if Da Wei changes her surname in the future, she still has half of the blood of the Dongfang family, and under Jiuquan, her father-in-law always has half of his face, and he will go to meet the first emperor and Taizu."

Cao Aning said anxiously when he heard this: "The child has done everything he can to achieve this step, and there will be no chance in the future." Those who have achieved great things should know forbearance, in case the eldest princess provokes the anger of the heavens and people in the future, the courtiers are ready to support the new king, and the righteous father appears in full glory, which can always make the eldest princess abdicate more simply......"

Gonggong Cao shook his head: "You don't understand the power of the eldest princess. The only possibility for the eldest princess to abdicate is that Xi Wu will go to a dead end and die young. If the eldest princess does not die herself, with her natural talent and military power, no one in the world can shake her throne head-on. As for the martial arts, in front of 100,000 iron horsemen, Fengguan City is not a thing, and what is a father-in-law? ”

Cao Aning opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

Gonggong Cao raised his hand slightly: "Let's go." My father-in-law was a domestic servant, and if he was useless and didn't want to leave his homeland, he could only be buried here. ”

At the same time, above the dungeon.

Countless black yamen caught quickly, standing at the entrance of the dungeon with swords in hand, because the superiors who could fight were not there, although there was no chaos, but no one dared to enter the dungeon with unknown circumstances without permission, just discussing:

"What is this going to do? The mechanism seems to have activated on its own, and if it drags on for a while, all the people on the second floor will die."

"It's not going to die so quickly, I've already gone to ask for a doctor, and it should be no problem to save it."

"I haven't figured out the situation in the dungeon, how dare I let Doctor Wang come over. The lives of those people are not as precious as a finger of Doctor Wang."

In the midst of whispering discussions, a footstep sounded from the side of the yamen.

A few catchers looked back, but saw Qiu Tianhe carrying a rice bucket, emerging from the corridor, and looked at it.

Because of the sentence 'I don't poke you to death with a stick at the back door', Xiao Wang, who was respectfully called the 'back door gun' by his colleagues, was shocked when he saw this, and quickly ran to him to stop him:

"Qiu Daxia, you hurry up and stay in the house, now standing here, brothers are nervous, not to mention, you are still easy to be killed by adults."

Qiu Tianhe knew that someone had robbed the prison, so he made a special trip to take a look, and when he saw everyone standing outside the tunnel, he frowned and said:

"There's someone down there who robs the prison, and you don't care?"

Xiao Wang waved his hand and said: "The dungeon is designed by skilled craftsmen with countless painstaking efforts, blocked by a layer of sealing stones, daring to touch the prison door, and there are thousands of arrows in the cell; The two-story black stone sealed the wellhead, and the poisonous dragon miasma was sprayed inside, and the faster it moved, the faster it died, and it died before it ran out of the capital. ”

Qiu Tianhe's eyes were surprised: "There is still this configuration in the dungeon?" ”

Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Qiu Daxia has only been in for less than a year, and he has never experienced a thief's robbery, so naturally he doesn't know." This is the strongest protected prison in Dawei, and there is no protection to call it a problem. If the people inside dare to run, let them run, and tomorrow they can find the body; Stay honestly, just let Doctor Wang detoxify later. ”

Qiu Tianhe felt that this design was really inhumane, but those who could enter the second floor of the dungeon must be a capital crime, and it was no wonder that the court was not to be looked at. After thinking about it, he sighed:

"Fortunately, the old man came out quickly, the second room is the old man's former residence, the two newcomers in it, the injuries on their bodies are not light, and their martial arts are average, are you sure you can stand this service?"

Xiao Wang's expression changed when he heard this, and he patted his head:

"It's over, forget about these two. Yesterday, I heard that the second king of Yanzhou killed His Royal Highness, the crime was extremely evil, and the cell head was afraid that something would go wrong, so he was specially locked in the safest cell. Now it's troublesome, I'm afraid the two kings of Yanzhou won't be able to bear it."

Qiu Tianhe felt that it was unrealistic to let the arrester risk death to save the death row prisoner, so he sighed after thinking about it:

"Last night, the old man delivered the meal and added an extra spoonful to the two of them, which can be regarded as a full meal before he died."

As he spoke, a white shadow silently passed through the rain curtain and landed in front of the dungeon.

Seeing this, the catcher at the scene hurriedly stood up straight, his face solemn against the entrance of the dungeon of the black hole.

Qiu Tianhe raised his eyes and beckoned:

"Sister Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The white-haired Di Ting is more than ten years older than Qiu Tianhe, and when the Manchu Wei Dynasty chased Qiu Tianhe to rescue the imperial concubine, he was still captured by the white-clothed goddess who still had charm, and was walked by Qiu Tianhe all over the rivers and lakes, and the relationship between them was really not too friendly.

The white-haired Di didn't pay attention to Qiu Tianhe, just dragged the white hair to the ground, stood in front of the dungeon with a serious face, and looked into the depths of the entrance.

Qiu Tianhe came to him with a rice bucket and asked:

"This third layer is Cao Chitose? It's been half a day, and I guess I've run early. ”

The white-haired Di listened and frowned, "It's better to run." If I hadn't run, it would have been hard to be good today. ”

Qiu Tianhe knew what the status of the Great Inner Gate God Cao Chitose was, and asked:

"Didn't you give Cao Qiantose dozens of golden needles?"

"The muscles, bones, and skin are in the body, and the golden needle can't be entered, and it can't be sealed if it is entered, so you can only rely on the secret medicine prepared by the Wang Shen Doctor to disperse the gong and reduce the food to weaken the physical strength. The thieves made such a big battle, maybe there is an antidote. ”

Qiu Tianhe nodded, looking left and right:

"Qin Wenli, Chen Miao, and Tu Jiu can't come? Relying on Sister Meng to stop alone, I guess Cao Qiansui won't care about you. ”

Bai Haidi listened: "The thief picked a good time, half of them are not there, and something has gone wrong in the west of the city, so we have to solve that side first." ”

Qiu Tianhe frowned, seeing that the court seemed to be understaffed, he remembered his extra-prison awaiting trial and indefinite grounding, and hesitated for a moment:

"Cao Chitose must be trying to recover his strength, don't stop it now, he will return to his full prosperity later, I don't think anyone in the capital can stop him. Sister Meng will pull out my golden needle and return the knife to me, and I will help you stop Cao Chitose, make meritorious contributions, and return me to a free body afterwards? ”

The black man next to him was fast, and when he heard this, he turned his cheeks, and felt that Qiu Tianhe was a little outrageous.

After all, no matter how hard Gonggong Cao is, he is also a person who has been closed for ten years, and he can't compare with his peak, and when he comes out, he won't run, and it will take a lot of time to slowly scrape when he goes back.

And Qiu Tianhe has been eating and drinking well outside for a month, and he has become fat, and as soon as he pulls out the Tianhe knife with the golden needle, he may have no chance of winning head-on to the palace, who will stop him if he runs away with all his might?

Qiu Tianhe felt everyone's speechlessness, and said helplessly:

"I Qiu Tianhe has been in exile for 30 years, and I am still a chivalrous person, and now I finally rely on the night boy to clear my guilt, and I have a chance to walk the rivers and lakes in the open, but I turned around and ran, causing the night boy to carry the black pot for me, do you think my Qiu Tianhe can do such a stupid thing?"

After thinking about it for a while, everyone felt that it was also the only case that Qiu Tianhe committed in his life, that is, he broke into the marriage team for his friend and ruined half of his life; Although the relationship between the Peace Heaven Sect is close, the reason is that the Peace Heaven Sect has a life-saving grace for him, and in essence, he is still a river and lake ranger who values love and righteousness.

Meng Jiao thought for a moment and said, "If you go all out, I will ask the Holy Lord for my life in this matter." Even if the saint does not allow it, he will give you an identity and let you enjoy half of your life in the capital. ”

Qiu Tianhe only has the sword in his heart, and he doesn't care about fame and fortune, but he doesn't care anymore, he can eat, drink, live well, and be more comfortable than delivering food in the alley, so he put down the rice bucket at the moment:

"Okay. If you can only return to the top this time in this life, the opponent is Cao Qiansui, and it will not be in vain to go away in the rivers and lakes, but if I am beaten half to death, the court still has to arrange for Wang Tai to be rescued, but I can't treat Qiu as a consumable. ”

"Don't worry, the night terror hall is here, and the court will not treat you badly."

Nearly 6,000 words or2!

To finish this plot, it's slow to write, I'm really sorry, and I'll try to finish it all at once tomorrow.
