Chapter 077: Prison Break 2
"Liu Bei is not only innocent of the court, but also has great merit. If the lord kills Liu Bei, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary panic among the military attaches who were promoted in the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Moreover, Liu Bei is only a county commander, and whether he is killed or not is not enough to affect the overall situation. ”
Late at night, the moonlight outside the window was dim, a dark cloud came, and the county fell into darkness. In the backyard room of the Zhongshan Festival Palace, Cai Wenji roughly analyzed the situation for Princess Wannian, in order to ask the other party to spare Liu Bei.
"Why did you come to intercede with Liu Bei so late?" Princess Wannian was surprised, she suspected that Cai Wenji had feelings for Liu Bei.
"The slave just said what the lord said in his heart, since the lord couldn't bear to kill him, let Liu Bei go, why bother thinking about it until midnight?"
"Liu Bei is the core of the whole thing, without him, He Jin would not have been sucked here, and without him, there would be no victory for us. Speaking of which, he still has merit for us. It's just that we've been deceiving him. ”
Princess Wannian sighed lightly, making her feel hesitant in terms of major events and emotions. According to Frustrated Professor's opinion, Liu Bei is a hidden danger in her own control of the real power of the Han Dynasty, and it is her consistent style to take precautions and nip danger in the bud. But as a princess standing at the top of the power pyramid of the court, it is really difficult to find a close friend. In particular, Princess Wannian not only holds power, but also has a face that captivates the country and the city, and these two can make countless men flock to it, flatter, and make use of it in every way, not to mention her intelligence and thoughtfulness.
"According to the slave maid, the lord has become the lord of the world, can't he spare a little Liu Bei? Please think twice about the princess. Cai Wenji persuaded again and again.
"Why do you want me to spare Liu Bei?" Princess Wannian asked tentatively.
Cai Wenji sensed the princess's doubts and immediately clarified: "It's the slave who is a little selfish." ”
Princess Wannian was shocked when she heard this, could it be that Cai Wenji really fell in love with Liu Bei? Does that Liu Bei really have such a lot of magic? But Cai Wenji's next words immediately dispelled her doubts.
"Tang Xiaoai, the slave's righteous sister, has been in love with Liu Bei for a long time, so she pleaded on behalf of her sister and asked the lord to be angry." Cai Wenji knelt down as she spoke.
Princess Wannian finally put down the big stone in her heart, helped the other party and said: "It is human nature to love my sister, what is the crime?" ”
He thought to himself: "If Liu Bei is really just a person who does nothing, there is no need to let Fu Zhu go to such great lengths to get rid of it." I couldn't help but order: "Pass the order, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the execution will be carried out at the entrance of the vegetable market." ”
Cai Wenji was not surprised, she knew the most about the heart of Princess Wannian. She came here to intercede only with the mentality of doing her best. Seeing Cai Wenji exit the door, Princess Wannian looked up at the moonlight outside the window, the moonlight was hazy, and she had a lot of thoughts, and she couldn't help murmuring: "I wish to be an ordinary girl and not be born in the emperor's family." ”
At dawn the next day, the elite of the Assassin League, who had received an order from Princess Wannian, immediately guarded the entrance of the vegetable market in advance, reducing the number of guards in front of the prison to 100. At this time, the whole Anxi town was very nervous, and the people sensitively smelled the smell of blood and did not dare to go out to watch. Only a few brave and fearless people came to watch.
……
The county town prison was damp and dark, and He Jin, Jian Shuo, Liu Bei, and Zhang Rang were detained in the innermost cell. Due to the "stay" of the four of them, Princess Wannian ordered all the prisoners in the original prison to be executed. So in the huge cell, there were only four people imprisoned. Outside each cell was an elite Assassin League guard.
Liu Bei was imprisoned in the innermost room, and for him, nothing could make him give up sleeping, so he slept soundly at the moment. And Zhang Rang next door is recuperating, always ready to fight to the death.
He Jin, who was next door, was anxious, and he couldn't understand how the princess of Wannian could have such great ability, and her whereabouts were kept secret, how did the other party know. He was already in sight of success, but now he has become a prisoner, which makes him unacceptable for a while. Falling from the top of life to the bottom is not an easy thing to bear. Fortunately, He Jin, who has been rolling in officialdom for more than ten years and has seen the big scene, has not messed up. He searched in his mind for a way to redeem his defeat.
In the cell closest to the outside, Jian Shuo, who had seen through the world, was not asleep, but his heart was extremely calm. For him, even if he dies, it will not make the enemy feel better. He was also thinking about how to get out
"Dawei, hurry up and bring the rice." One of the guards saw the cell door open and a figure carrying a barrel entered. Calculate the time, it's time for breakfast. And he was on duty all night, and he was already hungry.
A member of the Assassin League named Dawei carried the barrel to the four guards, and at the behest of the princess, he was ordered to entertain the prisoners. Therefore, the detainees did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Suddenly, Jian Shuo, who had never said a word since entering the prison, kept chanting at this time: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to his hometown." Save the danger and help the poor, and give up your life for a long time. ”
He Jin and Zhang Rang both felt that Jian Shuo couldn't stand the setbacks and became mentally disturbed. Liu Bei secretly said that Jian Shuo has never had the habit of reciting poetry, why did he suddenly get better? Silently repeated it several times in my heart, and suddenly realized. It is no wonder that Jian Shuo was confident when he returned to the city.
The first word of the poem is read together: great-might-help-life.
Dawei's true identity is Jian Shuo's henchman in the Assassin League, responsible for observing the disloyal people in the Alliance. Coincidentally, he was recruited into the elite team by the princess of Wannian. Ever since Jian Shuo was imprisoned here, he took the initiative to apply for food delivery. Always waiting for the summons of Jian Shuo.
Liu Bei raised his eyes and saw that the four guards were gobbling up breakfast. A member of the Assassin League named Dawei suddenly struck at the two guards with a knife in his hand, and dealt with each other neatly. At the same time, the two guards were about to shout when they saw this, He Jin put his hands out, and two meteor darts flew out of his sleeves, and the two guards were killed on the spot.
No one thought that He Jin was a martial arts master, and he already had a seventh-stage third-order martial arts level. No one in the world knows the secret of He Jin's martial arts, because He Jin has another identity. It is a disciple of the Mo family sect, whose name in the gang is He Jing, who is in charge of the butcher shop business in the sect.
Later, my sister entered the palace as a queen and became powerful, so the Mo family at that time, that is, Liu Bei's master, destroyed all the other party's information in the Mo faction at the request of He Jin, and found an excuse to kill all the disciples who knew He Jin's information at that time. So the whole world only knows that He Jin is a pork buyer. Even the Assassins, who were the best at gathering intelligence, were unaware of this little-known secret. As a result, the Mo faction was able to develop rapidly in the more than ten years that He Jin was in charge of the army.
He Jin's shot was all in Zhang Rang's eyes. At this moment, Zhang Rang had already learned about He Jin's past with the help of the meteor dart.
Dawei didn't say a word, waved his knife to cut the iron lock, rescued Jian Shuo, and Zhang Rang and Liu Bei were rescued in turn. And He Jin broke free from the chains and walked out of the prison door by himself.
Zhang Rang picked up the sword on the ground and blocked it in front of Jian Shuo and shouted at He Jin: "Today is your death!" ”
He Jin didn't answer, his fists stretched forward for defense, and his face was quite fearless.
"Inkman!" Zhang Rang said indifferently. "You're the Ink One."
"No one knows this secret in the world, Ben Shuai thought he could bring it into the coffin, but he didn't expect it to be discovered by you, but it was a happy thing." He Jin said with a smile.
"Actually, I should have doubted you a long time ago. How did a person who only understands pork lead the army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and how can he ascend to the throne of a general in the court where he kills every step? Zhang Rangsun smiled and said, "The meteor dart that killed the enemy just now exposed your past background. ”
"The Ink Men and the Assassin Alliance have never been concluded, and now everyone is imprisoned here, and if they don't unite and leave before the others find out, no one will be able to escape." He Jin persuaded, but he was still full of confidence and had no fear.
Zhang Rang saw that what the other party said was reasonable, and hesitated.
"What are you doing with this, if you don't flash again, you're really going to die." Liu Bei persuaded anxiously. Jian Shuo continued: "At this moment, let go of the grudge, and it's not too late to pass this tribulation." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Dawei said at the right time: "Master, if you want to go out, the other guards are not afraid, but there is one character who cannot be careless. ”
"Who?" He Jin exclaimed.
Dawei squinted and didn't answer, and Saishuo motioned to continue. Da Wei said: "I don't know. It's just that the man has been covered with black gauze all the time, and he carries a spear on his back, but he never uses it. Kill only with the sword in your hand. ”
"It's him!" He Jin was shocked, and finally there was fear on his face.
"Who?" Zhang Rang noticed the change in the other party's face and asked eagerly.
"The one that is the main beam of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei, Han Qiong, the king of guns."
Zhang Rang and Dawei closed their mouths in surprise, Han Qiong's name shook the rivers and lakes as early as twenty years ago. In recent years, it has disappeared, but it is the reputation of Yan Liang, the apprentice and the first pillar in Hebei.
Seeing the shocked expressions of Zhang and Da Er, Liu Bei knew that this Han Qiong's martial arts must be superb.
"Big brother, don't worry, even if you fight to the death, I will protect you from here safely." Zhang Rang said and glanced at Dawei. Dawei understood, and the two were about to go out, He Jin hurriedly said: "Counting this handsome, there may be some chance of winning." ”
Everyone agreed, and Dawei was the first to step out of the prison door.
When the 100 Assassin League guards guarding the cell saw that it was their own people who had come out, they did not suspect it. The Great Mighty Martial Arts is the sixth stage and the seventh order, and he is the elite of the elite of the Assassin League. So there is some status in the League of Assassins. Dawei walked up to one of the guards and joked, "Xiao Du, this matching knife of yours looks good." Lend me a look? ”
Xiao Du respectfully untied the knife and offered: "Mr. Wei! ”
Dawei pulled out his sword, and a cold light flashed in the morning light. None of the surrounding guards paid special attention to Dawei's movements, and in their opinion, it was just a simple action of drawing a sword.
"It's a good knife." Dawei said secretly, and the corners of his mouth swept up with evil intent. Several guards around noticed the abnormality and were about to be on guard, when the sword in Dawei's hand had already been waved, and those few fell down in an instant. The guards were shocked, and at this moment, Zhang Rang and He Jin jumped out of the prison door with their knives, and when several guards fell, several more were killed.
