Chapter Twenty-Nine: Escaping from Prison

I saw the cell door open wide, and an old jailer with a white beard brought a large plate of food. In addition to a bowl of white rice, there is also a roast chicken, a pig's trotter, and a good roast knife on the jar, which is full of wine. It turns out that the aroma of wine in sleep comes from this.

Tuoba Hongfei was startled and said, "Are you going to send me on the road?"

The old jailer smiled and said, "Where, where, this is a special order from the adults, to congratulate the three of them. ”

Tuoba Hongfei Qi said: "Where does the joy come from, what is there to congratulate?"

The jailer said, "I really don't know about this little one. That's just what the above commanded. Just send the small ones up. ”

Tuoba Hongfei was starving, and he couldn't care about much, so he said in his heart: "Even if you die, you have to be a full ghost." At that moment, he grabbed the roast chicken, tore off a chicken leg and chewed it, and then raised the altar of burning knives, and poured it down with his neck up, only to feel that it was really a delicacy in the world.

He suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What about my two brothers?"

The old jailer said, "This, this little one really doesn't know." I guess so."

Tuoba Hongfei shouted repeatedly: "Second brother, third brother!" There was no silent response outside the prison, it turned out that this prison only held this party Xiang Mitaka, and there were no other prisoners. Seeing that no one answered, Tuoba Hongfei was in turmoil, and grabbed the old jailer and said, "Where did the two of them go?"

The old jailer was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "The little one really doesn't know, only heard, only heard......"

Tuoba Hongfei hurriedly said: "What did you hear?" With the strength of his hand, the old jailer's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak, so he just waved his hand again and again and begged for mercy.

Tuoba Hongfei fiercely saved the other party who didn't know martial arts, and as soon as the internal force was retracted, the strength in his hand disappeared, and he said kindly: "You are honest, and I will listen to it, I will not embarrass you!"

The old jailer coughed again and again, and said for a long time: "You killed me, I can't say it, those two prisoners have been taken away an hour ago." ”

Tuoba Hongfei said: "Why only mention these two people?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it, and said in his heart: "This person doesn't know anything, why should I ask more!"

I didn't want this old jailer to say: "I heard that these two people have made meritorious contributions, as for what meritorious contributions, I really don't know below." ”

Tuoba Hongfei was surprised, and said in his heart: "Meritorious, what merit? Could it be that the two of them can't bear to summon the whereabouts of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts"?" Thinking like this, he asked in his mouth: "Why did you change you today? What about the jailer who delivered the food before?"

The jailer said: "Today, the head of the cell said that there are prisoners who have made meritorious contributions and will atone for their crimes, which is gratifying. The cell boss also said that everyone has worked hard for many days, it is time to relax and relax, and they all gathered in Jiqing Building to drink, and let the little old man come to be on duty, and also asked the good wine and good food to be used for you, and he definitely wanted to send you on the road, but I never thought that I was pinched by you, cough cough, the little old man almost died......"

Tuoba Hongfei secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that these second and third brothers really confessed?" Thinking about it, this is absolutely impossible, what kind of figure is the party Xiang Sanying, how can he give in to coercion and temptation in the court? However, but I myself am such a person, can the second and third brothers be like me, and can grit their teeth and survive like this? Besides, the third brother is blind, the second brother has stab wounds everywhere in his body, and Kaifeng Mansion has all kinds of means to greet him, and the two of them can hardly guarantee that they can survive, yes, why did they spend several hours interrogating the two of them before, if they have nothing to say, how can they leave the two in the court for so long...... At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts, and his heart was still difficult to decide.

Suddenly, he had an idea, and suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light: "Old fellow, bring me the key on your body and let me use it." ”

The old jailer was shocked: "Please let Xiao Lao'er go, if you run away, Xiao Lao'er's whole family can be affected by you, how to make it!"

Tuoba Hongfei shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, take the key and come out!" After saying that, his hand tightened, and the jailer coughed again and again, and his old face turned red and said, "I'll take it, I'll take it." Let go of your hand. ”

Tuoba Hongfei loosened his hand slightly, and the old jailer reached to the hem of his shirt tremblingly, took out a large bunch of keys, and Tuoba Hongfei snatched it, "Quickly open my shackles!"

As soon as Tuoba Hongfei's shackles were taken off, the whole person was in high spirits, and he rushed to the outside of the prison, locked the old jailer in the prison, and took the key away. He opened the small iron windows on the doors of the two cells at the east and west ends, and sure enough, there was no one inside. Obviously, Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing were taken elsewhere, and they didn't have to think about it, so they were about to turn around and leave, and suddenly remembered something, and turned to the old jailer who was imprisoned by him and asked, "Do you know what time it is today?"

The old jailer said in a trembling voice: "Today, today is April 14, tomorrow is April 15, the little old man has to take his mother-in-law to incense, you, you will let the little old man out, right?"

Tuoba Hongfei was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "God really helps me, I can't say it, second brother and third brother, I will try to save you when I go back and try to save you!"

The old jailer was so anxious that he shouted: "Quickly let me out, there are still a lot of servants outside, you will be guilty of escaping from prison, and you will suffer if you are caught......"

Tuoba Hongfei had no sword wounds on his body, only a hundred rods in the hall on that day, although the skin was open, but after all, it was only an injury outside the skin, and it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the wound outside the skin had gradually healed, and it was already fine. Now that he was free, he walked like a fly, and rushed to the end of the passage of the prison, which led directly to the courtyard outside, but fortunately someone had just entered, and the door was not closed, and after a palm was pushed open, his eyes suddenly brightened.

There were still more than a dozen errand guards outside the gate, who were drinking and eating meat around a table, when they suddenly saw Tuoba Hongfei rushing forward, and when they looked closely, they were actually felons in the inner prison, and they were so shocked that they rushed to the wall to pick up their sabers, but there was still time.

Tuoba Hongfei's nickname was originally called "Fighting the Sky Eagle", the most important thing to get in light of his body kung fu, only lightly touched the ground, he jumped over from their table, waved his backhand, threw out a thing, from the errand to know that he was good at martial arts, all of them were shocked, all of them dodged under the table, only to say what is a powerful secret weapon, only to hear a "bang" sound, everyone raised their eyes to look, the wooden table under the penetration of more than a dozen copper keys.

It turned out that Tuoba Hongfei had used the stolen keys as a hidden weapon, and if it weren't for the big iron ring behind these keys, they would have passed through the table and shot into everyone's heads.

When the servants trembled and got out of the table to look again, Tuoba Hongfei had already run away.

Tuoba Hongfei ran all the way, lest he be recognized and reported to the official, so he chose to walk in inaccessible places, and avoided all the lively places such as wine shops, teahouses, and vegetable markets.

He knew that after a while, Kaifeng Mansion would compile himself, and the entire Bianjing City would definitely be plastered with his portraits everywhere. The top priority is to change your clothes and change your appearance.

He walked for several miles, turned two avenues, passed through seven or eight alleys, and suddenly saw a house on the side of the street whose courtyard door was not closed, and a dodge in, and saw an old woman with her back to her, drying quilts on one pole, and a few men's clothes drying on another pole behind her.

Tuoba Hongfei took advantage of her unpreparedness, rolled down a set of blue cloth robes that were drying on it, and raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of the door opening widely, and a cat's waist flashed in. It turned out to be a kitchen, steamed buns were steaming on the stove, and he didn't care about the heat, so he grabbed four or five and wrapped them in his clothes, and saw a kitchen knife in front of the board, and took it together, wrapped it in his clothes, and put it on his back, and withdrew from the same way, the old woman turned her back to him and slapped the quilt, thinking that she was too old to have her ears back, and she didn't know that someone had broken into the house and stolen things.

He ran dozens of zhang away, and saw a hidden place in front of him, dozens of willow trees lined up near the river, and the thick shade hung straight to the ground, as if forming an impermeable green curtain. So he ran behind the willow tree, and took off his tattered old clothes, but fortunately the blue gown was a little short, but it was also suitable for fat and thin.

After changing his clothes, he leaned on one of the largest willow trees, and ate all the steamed buns that he grabbed with his hand, and his stomach was a little full, but he felt a little thirsty, and hurriedly ran to the river to pick up water and thirst, and the river water was also clear. The old woman's kitchen knife was a little rough and blunt, and he only shaved his teeth and grinned, and it took half an hour to shave it. When he looked at the river, he looked like a monk in his prime, and he couldn't even recognize himself.

Stunned, he thought to himself, today is April 14th, tomorrow is the fifteenth, the master told us, we must be on April 15th, the twelve volumes of the "Wujing General Essentials" in his hands, but, the second brother and the third brother are still in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, no, the old jailer said that the two of them have made meritorious contributions, so the people in the house are still celebrating, and he also said, "The murderer confessed, and the top magnified the fake" This does not mean that the second brother and the third brother said the location of the scriptures?

"Will the second brother and the third brother be so unable to withstand Bao Zheng's punishment? It is impossible, our party Xiang Sanying is an iron-clad tough guy, and he is not even afraid of death, so how can he confess easily?" Tuoba Hongfei shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off those doubts and thoughts, but the voices of doubts in his head kept coming.

"If there is no confession, why does the two of them last so long longer than me every time they are interrogated, and why are they vague and slept when they ask him a few times? Is it because they can't stand the toss in the hall and they leak their mouths? Or, by the way, I heard that there is a drug that can make people tell their secrets in a drowsy state, could it be ......?"

Tuoba Hongfei pondered and meditated, wondering whether Pan Tianluo and Ma Qing had confessed as the jailer said. "If the two of them really confessed the whereabouts of these twelve volumes of the "General Essentials of the Martial Scriptures", I am afraid that Bao Zheng would have already led people to surround the Daxiangguo Temple and have already obtained these scriptures! Could it be that what they said and celebrated before was to celebrate the success of the scriptures?"

"Regardless of whether the second brother or the third brother succeeds or not, in short, this Great Xiangguo Temple, I want to explore it no matter what. "Make up your mind at the moment, and after the night is settled, you will sneak into the Great Xiangguo Temple to find out if the scripture is still there.

So he dared to continue in the direction of the city, because he had shaved his hair and changed his clothes, and no one thought that he was associated with the "fugitive Tuoba Hongfei". Along the way, no one paid much attention to him.

Passing by a fireworks willow alley, he followed a brightly dressed young master to a secluded place, clicked on his acupoint, searched out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, found a horse shop, bought a horse, and galloped to an inn a few miles away from Xiangguo Temple to stay. People who have not seen the appearance of the government on this road feel a little relieved.
