Chapter 35: The Prison of the Prison of the Prison of the Ministry of Forced Robbery
Brother Fan took two steps back, put away Emei and stabbed a hand, and the sickle-shaped hidden weapons on the ground flew back into his hands, standing aside on guard.
"See Your Highness." The ancient saint gave a gift.
The man in white smiled, "It seems that you heard our conversation." ”
Gu Shengchao said truthfully: "I only heard the last few words, this brother is so good that I almost lost it, I found it here and delayed the time, and I was discovered by Brother Fan before I had time to listen carefully." ”
The man in white said generously: "Since they are all their own people, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea?" ”
"Listen to me." Gu Shengchao walked in with the man in white.
The man in white sat first, and Gu Shengchao gave up the second seat and sat down. The man who Gu Shengchao was tracking stood aside, uneasy, Brother Fan waved his hand, and the man quietly retreated. Brother Fan held the hidden weapon in his hand, feeling that he was out of style, so he hurriedly put it away and sat next to the man in white, guarding against Gu Shengchao.
Brother Fan poured tea for everyone and admired Gu Shengchao: "Little brother is very skilled, Fan admires it." If I hadn't admitted my mistake, the little brother would have been the one who saved His Highness in the wild! ”
Gu Shengchao said humbly: "The effort of raising your hands is not enough, Brother Fan's secret weapon is unique in the world, and it almost cost me my life, if it wasn't for His Highness to stop it in time, I might not be able to escape tonight." ”
The three of them laughed, and the man in white asked, "Dare to ask the honorable name?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, the grass people Gu Shengchao."
The man in white waved his hand and said, "You and I don't have to be formalized in private, I am the ninth son of the emperor, named Xiao Cheng." has always been left in the Xileng Kingdom as a proton, and now my Dawu Dynasty is in turmoil, and I want to come back to reorganize the dynasty. According to the news of the spies, you are not on the list of worry-free darts, why did you suddenly appear? ”
Gu Shengchao was shocked, it seemed that every move of the dart game was under the control of others, and he replied: "I was delayed on the road, and I only arrived recently, so I don't know about it." ”
The prince nodded and said: "In the past few days, you have frequently visited the prison of the Criminal Department to prepare for the prison robbery, and the Criminal Department has long known about it, and has laid a net waiting for you to take the bait. The young owner of the dart game is also a character, in order to save his old father, he would rather scatter his family wealth than risk death, which is really rare. What's even more commendable is that you warriors, knowing that moths are fighting fires and want to take advantage of the fire, how do you know that someone inside has already defected to the Criminal Department, and every word and deed has been learned by the Criminal Department. If you insist on going your own way, you will be caught in the net and there will be no return. ”
Gu Shengchao was dumbfounded and asked, "Your Highness has made it clear, how should we deal with it?" ”
"Call your young boss, I want to talk to him." The attitude of the prince is sincere and not aggressive.
Gu Shengchao made a difficulty: "To be honest, I don't have much intersection with the worry-free dart game, how can I make them believe me?" ”
The prince thought about it, took pen and ink and wrote on a piece of white paper the four big characters "Seeing words are like faces", and stamped his own seal below. He explained: "The young owner of the dart bureau often has dealings with the official eunuchs in the capital, and should know this. ”
"Okay, how do I contact His Highness?" Gu Shengchao put away the paper and put it away.
"Just outside the Gaosheng Inn, Brother Fan will be there to contact you." The prince replied.
Gu Shengchao said goodbye, Brother Fan sent him to a high wall, in the corner of the wall I don't know where to press, the wall is concave and a section of steps appears, along the steps to push open the overhead plank, go up in the wardrobe, push the door out of the wardrobe is the guest room, the guest room sleeps alone, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can know that this ordinary guest room will have such a clever design. Gu Shengchao walked out of the guest room and came to the corridor of the inn, he suddenly felt like a dream, no wonder such a mechanism could not track the other party.
He said goodbye to Brother Fan and searched along the way he came, and along the way, the houses were lined up, and he couldn't find the courtyard when he came. He hurried to the inn where Zhong Lei was staying, the house was empty, and asked the guy, saying that he had just left the room and didn't know where he went. Gu Shengchao was helpless, so he had to return to the inn to discuss with Liu Ximei.
Liu Ximei also shook her head: "Anyone who encounters such a thing will suspect it, it originally involved a life-and-death secret, someone overheard it and didn't catch it, and his own people suddenly disappeared and were naturally alert, who can know if the other party is collaborating with the enemy and betraying?" ”
The two were negotiating, and Gu Shengchao suddenly noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside the window, and was about to notice that the person's breath was somewhat familiar, and there was no doubt that it was Zhong Lei. He pouted out of the window, and dipped his fingers in water to write the word "clock" on the table, and Liu Ximei understood.
Gu Shengchao said deliberately: "It's over, it's over, none of the people in the dart bureau can be contacted, the criminal department already knows their plan, and they will definitely die if they rush over in two days, how should I inform them?" ”
Liu Ximei followed: "Yes, the key to life and death, why did they suddenly disappear, did you say something you shouldn't say or do something you shouldn't do, so that they mistakenly thought that you were a spy." ”
Gu Shengchao replied: "No, I just found that someone overheard and chased after me, and the other party was actually sent by the Nine Emperor Princes to contact the Dart Bureau, saying that the Criminal Department was waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net and then catch them all." I can't contact Brother Zhong Lei, what can I do! ”
The breath outside the door moved to the door, the door was pushed open, Gu Shengchao and Liu Ximei pretended to be surprised and stood up, Zhong Lei motioned for them not to speak, and observed that there was no one outside, so he closed the door and asked in a low voice, "What you just said is true?" ”
"Brother Zhong Lei, were you eavesdropping outside just now?" Liu Ximei pretended to be afraid.
Zhong Lei saw Liu Ximei's true face for the first time, and his heart trembled when he saw her coquettish appearance, and he didn't dare to look at it directly. He turned his head and explained: "Brother Gu, forgive me, the young owner has long known that there is a mole, and he has never been able to find out who it is. It's not logical for you to do it alone, and today the tracking process is inexplicably missing, so we changed all the contact locations just in case. I was brought up by Xu Bo, and I never doubted him, and I didn't believe that he would betray the person Xu Bo believed, so I secretly came to listen and asked the two of you to forgive me. ”
Gu Shengchao said humbly: "Brother Zhong is serious, I am a newcomer, it is my honor to let Brother Zhong trust, how can I blame Big Brother." He took out the note stamped with the seal of the prince and handed it to Zhong Lei, "This matter is not trivial, I hope that Brother Zhong will quickly hand over this token to the Shaodong family, saying that the Nine Emperors want to meet the Shaodong family for an interview, and I will wait for you at the Gaosheng Inn." ”
Zhong Lei knew that this matter was important, so he packed the note and left in a hurry.
Gu Shengchao put on a mask for Liu Ximei and said, "You can't stay here for a long time, let's change the inn too!" ”
Liu Ximei readily agreed. The two men went to the city and found an inn behind a washer called the Donglai Inn. There is a crowd of people in front of the washer, and there is only one alley in the back of the inn, so it is clear to the guests who enter and exit at a glance, which is really an excellent place to get quiet in the middle of noisy. After settling down Liu Ximei, Gu Shengchao immediately rushed to the Gaosheng Inn.
Brother Fan was guarding the lobby of the inn, and when he saw Gu Shengchao coming, he led him to the guest room opposite the hall to rest. This room is special and can be seen clearly by people coming and going in the lobby. The two waited patiently, and when they chatted, Gu Shengchao learned that Brother Fan's name was Fan Lixin, and because he was old, people called him Big Brother. When it was almost time, Qi Tianzeng and Zhong Lei were late.
"I could have come early to visit, I have something important to do, please forgive me, I don't know if His Highness is resting, and I ask this brother to be accommodating." Qi Tianzeng's tone was very humble.
"Let me ask!" Fan returned not long after leaving the letter and said, "My Royal Highness has not rested, please come with me." ”
Zhong Lei wanted to go over with Qi Tianzeng, but Qi Tianzeng stopped him and said, "Your Highness is sincere, we must be honest with each other, I can go alone." ”
Gu Shengchao and Zhong Lei were waiting in the guest room, and they didn't see Qi Tianzeng come back for a long time, Zhong Lei was anxious for fear that the young owner would make a mistake, so he was so anxious that he kept pacing in the house, but Gu Shengchao was sleepy and fell asleep when he lay on the bed. It wasn't until the end of the ugly time that Qi Tianzeng came back energetically.
"Young owner, you're back." Zhong Lei was worried, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Qi Tianzeng was overjoyed: "My Highness and I hit it off at first sight, and we forgot the time when we chatted, which made you worry." ”
Gu Shengchao also woke up and asked, "The current situation is chaotic, what should we do next?" ”
"It's business as usual, I'll go to the prison on time tomorrow." Qi Tianzeng said with a smile.
Zhong Lei was frightened, and lowered his voice to dissuade: "If we know that we will go, we will be arrested, why do we have to hit the stone with an egg?" ”
Gu Shengchao seemed to have an understanding, and stared at Qi Tianzeng: "The young owner and His Royal Highness want to join forces?" ”
Qi Tianzeng bowed slightly: "The power of the dart game alone is like a grasshopper shaking a tree, the force behind this incident is far from what you and I can imagine, and it can't be done overnight." ”
On the second day, Gu Shengchao and the others gathered in another secret courtyard of Qi Tianzeng, unlike last time, this time the courtyard was spacious and five carriages were waiting there.
Qi Tian lowered his voice and said: "Heroes, tonight's action is related to everyone's net worth and life, and we should be more cautious along the way, in order not to be found that the carriage is sealed, please be calm inside, don't act rashly, and kill together when you arrive at the location, and only by surprise can you succeed." ”
Everyone wore face masks and set off in different vehicles in order. The carriage car was airtight, the door curtains were blocked from the outside, and it was bumpy in the small space where you couldn't see your fingers, which made people dizzy and uncomfortable. The crowd didn't know how many times they had gone around the street, and finally the carriage stopped, and someone whispered outside the carriage, "Do it." ”
Everyone couldn't hold back and was about to go crazy, some opened the curtain and jumped down, some directly crashed out, and even more internal force burst out to burst the car and jump away. At this moment, the sky was overcast, and the scene in front of me was shocking.
At the door of the prison, several jailers fell in a pool of blood with their heads in different places, Qi Tianzeng ran out with blood on his back, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" Zhong Lei injured one leg after breaking it, walked with a limp, and his body was also covered with blood. Gu Shengchao had already been pierced through the chest by an arrow, staggered out of the doorway, tripped over the jailer's corpse, and fell sideways to the ground without moving.
"It's important to save the owner!" Someone stepped forward to answer Qi Tianzeng.
"If you can't escape, you will have laid a net for you a long time ago, and you will die."
One of them mocked, and in the dark night, hundreds of people gathered around from all directions, and their bows and arrows were pointed at everyone.
