The knife flashed.

The rope hanging from Zhang Fatzi was cut, and Zhang Fatzi's huge body suddenly fell, but fell firmly into the arms of the man in black.

Zhang Fatzi opened his eyes with great effort, and looked at the corpses of the few big men lying on the ground in the torture room, all of whom had been wiped with a knife, and died cleanly.

He looked at the masked man in black and asked in a weak voice, "Who are you?"

The man in black turned his head to look at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

When Zhang Fatzi heard this familiar voice, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly: "It's Uncle Nail! Why are you here?"

The man in black raised his hand to stop him and said, "Shizi, don't talk too much, save your breath, and I'll take you out." ”

Zhang Fatzi closed his mouth as he said.

He is very familiar with this nail uncle, who has been by his father's side for many years, and is his father's most trusted confidant.

It is said that his surname is Ding, but no one knows his real name, only that his father saved his life several times on the battlefield in the early years, so he was loyal to his father and was willing to follow his father incognito.

This person is extremely skilled, and there is no character that his father can't handle. It is said that especially the person he is responsible for keeping an eye on, no one has ever been able to escape, as if he was nailed, so his nickname is also called "Nail", and no one knows his real name.

In fact, he should be regarded as Zhang Fatzi's senior brother, if it weren't for his recommendation, Zhang Fu would have been difficult to find such a good teacher, so that his son could learn this supreme light skill.

But Nail always thinks that he is a descendant of the Zhang family and is not worthy of being compared with Zhang Fatzi, so he has never regarded himself as Zhang Fatzi's senior brother, and always respectfully calls him "Shizi", and Zhang Fatzi also calls him "Uncle Nail".

In summary, if you want to be able to enter the heavily guarded prison silently, and you also want to take away the prisoners without being noticed, it can be said that there are very few people in the capital with such skills.

Maybe apart from himself, I'm afraid that the only one who has such light skills is this Uncle Nail, Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but think.

At this time, Uncle Nail turned around and waved his knife at Xie Zhenliang, who was firmly tied to the torture bed and covered in bruises, cut the rope that bound him, and asked in a deep voice: "How is it, Gongzi Xie, can you still walk?"

Xie Zhenliang had already seen that the person in front of him had come to rescue them at this time, and a hanging heart also fell to the ground, and he said with a long sigh of relief: "I'm fine, it's just some flesh and skin injuries." ”

Uncle Nail nodded and said, "Then without further ado, I'll take you out of here." ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhenliang shook his head lightly and said, "You guys go, but I can't go." ”

The nail was stunned for a moment, and then thought that maybe Xie Zhenliang was afraid that he didn't know martial arts, and he was injured all over his body, which would drag them down, so he said: "Master Xie, please rest assured, with the martial arts below, it is completely enough to take the two of you out of the edict prison safely, and everything has been arranged after you get out, please don't worry." ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhenliang shook his head more resolutely and signaled that he would not leave.

Looking at Nail's eyes full of doubts, he said lightly: "I can't leave now." I heard what Ji Gang said just now, my father has now been convicted, and he was taken down by Jinyi Wei, and he is on his way to the capital under escort. ”

"If I go with you at this time, I will become a prisoner who escaped from prison, and even though my safety is safe, it will inevitably affect my father. Originally, he was just framed, falsely accused, and had a chance to see the sky again, but now that I have escaped, this crime can be regarded as confirmed. ”

"Maybe the emperor will be angry and punish him for several crimes, and his father's life will be worried. As the Son of Man, how can I be in danger of my own safety? ”

Listening to his explanation, Nail's eyes flashed, but he was speechless

refute, because what Xie Zhenliang said is indeed the truth.

Looking at Nail's somewhat hesitant look, Xie Zhenliang smiled faintly and comforted: "Don't worry, as long as they still want to know Ye Feng's whereabouts, they will never kill me, and I don't have to worry about my life." ”

He pointed to Zhang Fatzi, who had already fainted, and said: "It's just that his injuries are quite serious, I'm afraid that after going out, I need to find a good doctor to treat it in time, and everything needs to be bothered by this hero." ”

The nail was silent, he didn't know what to say.

Xie Zhenliang knew that if he stayed, he would face more cruel punishment and pain, and even worry about his life, but he didn't worry about himself at all, but he was concerned about Zhang Fatzi's injury.

He obviously didn't know the identity of the nail at all, but he entrusted his brother's life with him, and this trust also made the nail feel moved.

Originally, Nail was born in the army and was a person who practiced martial arts, and he had always looked down on these weak scholars who were powerless, and felt that they were useless except for the sour and rotten air of their bodies, and they had no masculine manhood.

However, today, in the face of Xie Zhenliang, he felt a heartfelt respect.

Although this is just a weak scholar who doesn't know martial arts, he exudes an admirable spirit from top to bottom, not at all like those ordinary corrupt Confucians, but like a heroic and dry son of the rivers and lakes.

Nail stood in a daze, not knowing for a while whether to persuade Xie Zhenliang to leave this hell on earth with him.

However, Xie Zhenliang saw that he was stunned, and waved his hand to him again and again: "You go quickly, I'm afraid that if it's too late, I will alarm the guards, and you won't be able to leave." ”

The nail nodded silently, turned around and strode out with the fainted fat man Zhang.

He didn't look back at it again, he was afraid that he would not be able to help it, and the surging enthusiasm in his heart would be uncontrollable and gush out.

He believed that if Zhang Fatzi hadn't fainted, he would never have left his righteous brother and fled alone.

This is friendship, this is brotherhood!

Suddenly, Nail felt a little envious, even jealous, of the friendship between them.

Behind him, Xie Zhenliang's somewhat weak but concerned voice came: "Be careful all the way!"

Without much effort, Nail successfully avoided the guards and patrol guards with his light skills, and jumped lightly, carrying Zhang Fat Man out of the high wall of the edict.

As soon as he landed, he was suddenly stunned.

On the street in front of him, there stood an old man with a gray beard in a shabby cloth coat and a bamboo stick, who looked like a watchman, and was looking at him in a daze.

This old man is the old king who is in charge of the night patrol in this area.

The sudden appearance of the nail clearly frightened the old king's head, and he didn't know how to react for a while, neither panicked and screamed, nor turned his head and ran, just stood stupidly in place, looking at the nails that suddenly appeared.

The nail unconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

It stands to reason that for the sake of safety, he should kill all witnesses so that he would not leave clues that could threaten the safety of the British government.

But in the face of the trembling innocent old man in front of him, he felt a little difficult to start.

This is different from the few big men in the torture room just now, they are all cruel and cold-blooded, and they are cruel and cruel, I don't know how many loyal and righteous people have been tortured into tricks under their torture, and even died with a whimper, their hands are stained with blood, and they are innocent of death.

But the old man in front of him was a real innocent person, and the nail felt a little untouchable.

Just as he hesitated, the old king's face suddenly changed.

The original look of surprise suddenly disappeared, his face sank, his cloudy eyes suddenly shot out, and his face shook his jaw coldly.

whispered to the nail, "This way, go!"

This time it was Nail's turn to be surprised, but the old king's appearance was clearly innocent to him, and now there was no time to stay any longer, he was stunned for a moment, and whispered to the old king: "Thank you!"

Carrying the fat man, he hurriedly ran away and disappeared into a dark night.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared that the old king seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself in an almost inaudible voice: "Okay, my old man is finally worthy of the life-saving grace of Grandpa Guo." ”

After speaking, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he returned to his cloudy appearance, and continued to beat the bamboo pole rhythmically with a wooden face, and walked forward slowly as if nothing had happened.

There was darkness and silence all around, as if nothing had happened.

......

Wang Quan, the chief attendant, led Ji Gang all the way to the outside of the Jinshen Palace.

He didn't go in, but stood outside the hall with his hands down, with a mysterious smile, watching Ji Gang himself walk in cautiously.

Looking at the bright lights in the hall, Ji Gang muttered in his heart, the emperor has not rested at such a late hour, and he is still waiting here to summon himself, it must be for something very important.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

But a quarter of an hour later, when Ji Gang walked out of the Jinshen Palace, he was full of questions.

Because the emperor summoned him just now, he didn't actually talk about anything important, and he didn't even mention a word about the case of Xie Zhenliang and Zhang Idiot, who were being tortured in prison, just casually said some irrelevant and painless gossip.

In the middle of the night, the emperor specially sent his confidant Wang Quan to the edict prison and urgently summoned Ji Gang to come, is it just for these few inconsequential gossip?

Ji Gang couldn't figure it out anyway.

What kind of medicine is being sold in this emperor's gourd?

He squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Quan, who was standing aside, still with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in his heart.

Looks like this eunuch must know what's going on.

But if he asked him to ask this eunuch for advice in a low voice, he really felt extremely reluctant.

Now he just wants to hurry back to the prison, where the two felons are still waiting to be interrogated.

Perhaps, he may not necessarily know the truth.

Ji Gang looked at Wang Quan, who was smiling but not smiling, and couldn't help but think so.

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, like a flash of inspiration, and his mind suddenly lit up.

Maybe, maybe the emperor doesn't actually have anything important to say to him, so he will tell him those inconsequential gossip?

However, what was the emperor deliberately sending Wang Quan to the prison to summon him so late?

Is it to ensure that he will definitely be sent to the palace? Is it to ensure that he can be transferred out of the edict?

His pace gradually slowed down, and he had a premonition in his heart that even if he rushed back to the prison now, the two felons in the torture chamber would no longer be there.

Although he didn't understand the emperor's intentions, what he could be sure of was that all this must have been from the emperor's intentions.

Although he didn't understand, he couldn't ask, the emperor deliberately transferred himself out of the edict is the best expression, he shouldn't know it, it's best not to mention it.

It's just that an inexplicable chill suddenly surged in his heart.

People often have some fear about what they don't know, not to mention the emperor's deep mind like the sea.

Looking up at the starry stars in the dark night sky, Ji Gang couldn't help but let out a deep breath, and he felt that the steps under his feet were getting heavier and heavier.
