An hour later.

Anguo Mansion East Garden Study.

Dugu Cheng hurriedly rushed in, "Father-in-law, there is news from the inside of the Imperial Prison, the situation is not good. ”

"Say..."

Cao Qichang put down the tea bowl in his hand and straightened his waist, his eyes widened.

"A secret son of the Bloody Hand Gate in the Imperial Prison, after contacting Wang Baoquan twice, was discovered by them and was just buried alive, in this case, our eyeliner at the bottom of the Imperial Prison is broken, and we can't understand the relevant information in the prison."

As soon as Dugucheng's voice fell, Cao Qichang's old face suddenly became as black as the bottom of a pot.

How difficult it is to lurk a shadow inside the dark guard, and because of this, it will startle the snake, causing a new round of investigation inside the dark guard, and it is very likely that the bloody hand door will have to lose a few more shadows.

"Xiangye, Wang Baoquan can't stay any longer." Jia Gongwang took the opportunity to say: "You must make a decision immediately!" ”

After hearing this, Dugucheng looked at his father-in-law suspiciously.

"Bang dang..."

Cao Qichang smashed the tea bowl in his hand again, and roared angrily:

"Yuan Zhi child, deceive people too much! Cheng'er, go ahead and arrange it! ”

"No! Son, I'll arrange it. ”

At this time, Dugu City didn't dare to have any delay, he withdrew in response and urgently arranged for people to go.

If the bottom eyeline inside the edict is gone, Wang Baoquan's words and deeds will be uncontrollable, and it is very likely to become a thunderbolt.

Now you can only pull out this mine, and the sooner the better.

……

The third watch of the same day and the night.

In a separate cell in the west courtyard of the Imperial Prison, Wang Baoquan was tied to a long bench with a cloth towel in his mouth, and leaned against the wall.

There was not a glimmer of light in the cell, only the only small window lattice near it, and the light of the moon in the sky could faintly reflect the situation in the cell.

In the darkness around the cell, there were more than a dozen high-ranking catchers among the secret guards.

The ring-headed knives at their waists were taken off and placed flat on their laps, and the safety buckles on the scabbards were opened, ready to be drawn at any time.

The Secret Guard Catcher Division, which is equivalent to the samurai system in the Dark Guard, is responsible for special operations such as assassination, protection, and capture, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts.

Tonight, Ji Yi, the commander of the Catcher Division, came to the scene in person, and was on the left side of Wang Baoquan at this time.

This shows that tonight's action is extremely important.

There was silence outside the courtyard, except for a few small insects wriggling and chirping in the grass.

Except for the slight sound of human breathing, no other movement is allowed in the cell.

Ji Yi and the others seemed to be very patient, waiting for something to happen.

Wang Baoquan is the only one here, and he is very uneasy in his heart.

He learned early in the morning from the secret son who had just been buried alive that the Bloody Hand Gate had organized two rescues, but the defensive measures were too strict with secret guards and had to give up.

Tonight, Ji Yi told him that it was the Bloody Hand Keeper who sent a killer to kill him.

He was surprised, a little skeptical.

Seeing Ji Yi coming in person, and he was so calm and confident, this made Wang Baoquan feel inexplicably flustered in his heart.

It's like a dozen buckets hanging, seven up and eight down.

Xiangye, Xiangye, the lower official is loyal, and everything is acting in accordance with your instructions.

You won't really send a killer to kill the mouths of the officials.

In fact, in his heart, Wang Baoquan has long regarded himself as a dead man.

From the moment he entered the interrogation room, he was looking for an opportunity to commit suicide.

But these damn Dark Guard warriors never gave him the slightest chance.

During the interrogation, he was severely tortured, and the feeling was so painful that life was worse than death.

He knew that there was a world of difference between committing suicide or being killed by the secret guards and being killed by someone sent by Xiangye.

If Xiangye really sent someone to kill him, then it means that his family has gone before him.

The whole courtyard was unusually quiet, and the sound of a steel needle falling could be clearly heard.

Wang Baoquan is struggling, like sitting on pins and needles, living like a year, for him, this is a cruel torment.

There was a soft sound of "thump..."

“……”

There were several more soft sounds in a row, as light as dead leaves falling to the ground.

Ji Yi's nerves tightened suddenly, and one hand pressed on Wang Baoquan's body.

The dozen or so catchers, who were squatting in the darkness and were a little numb, almost at the same time, became excited, holding the ring knife on their knees with both hands.

"Here we are."

Ji Yi leaned over Wang Baoquan's ear and whispered proudly.

Wang Baoquan lowered his head in pain, tears welling up.

Parents, wives and concubines, children, more than a dozen people, must have already gone to Huangquan.

Outside the courtyard, a man in black first crossed the wall and crouched in the flower bed by the wall, surrounded by the police.

After a while, seeing that the alarm was not sounded, the other three men in black entered over the wall one by one.

The four of them divided into two groups, one group stood guard in the courtyard, and the other group went straight to the cell where Wang Baoquan was held.

In the dark, Ji Yi raised his fist, and more than a dozen catchers stood up silently, stealth in a row, and hid Wang Baoquan behind him.

The tip of the knife slid through the crack of the door, and with a few flicks, the latch slid to one side, and the door was silently opened through a gap.

Outside, two black figures dressed in night clothes slid in like swimming fish, and they didn't forget to cover the cell door with their backhands.

Ji Yi couldn't help but sneer.

This slight sneer pierced the eardrums of the two killers like a bolt from the blue.

The two killers turned around.

Almost at the same time, the cells and corridors were "bang... Bang..."Several sounds, clusters of firelight rose up.

More than a dozen torches burst into flames, illuminating the entire cell on the west side of the courtyard as bright as day.

There were also exclamations outside, and the courtyard was also brightly lit in an instant, and the team of secret guards caught hands and pounced out from the invisible place.

"The deity has been waiting for a long time, but you are finally here, hehe!"

Ji Yi took a step forward with the ring-headed knife, pointed directly at the other party, and said solemnly:

"The deity is Ji Yi, the commander of the Secret Guard Catcher Division, no matter who it is, obediently put down his weapons and disarm without killing!"

The two killers were frightened, subconsciously glanced at each other, kicked their feet on the ground, and the person flew out in reverse, directly smashed through the cell door, and rolled down in the courtyard.

At the moment of retreat, the figure shook and threw out a few hidden arrows.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

The sleeve arrow went straight to Wang Baoquan, who was tied to the bench.

Ji Yi snorted coldly, and he and a few catchers flew the ring head knife.

"Dangdang..."

Seven or eight sleeve arrows were shattered by their blades, and then, Ji Yi took the lead in jumping up and flying after him.

The crowd followed.

In the courtyard on the west side, the two black-clothed killers who were in charge of guarding were also surrounded by dozens of secret guards who were ambushed in the courtyard.

In addition, on the courtyard walls and rooftops, there are still figures surging and bowstrings sounding.

A net has already been laid here.

"The one who came is the fast hand of the Bloody Hand Gate? They are all people in the rivers and lakes, Ji has been waiting for a long time, and when you get to the edict, you don't have to hide your head and show your tail, show your dignity! ”

Ji Yi seemed to have the chance to win, he was smiling, and his words were relaxed.
