After the third door was opened, a dark corridor appeared in front of me, and only every three meters was a candlestick that emitted a faint yellow light that could never illuminate a meter of space.

On both sides of the corridor were iron prisons side by side, and a foul pungent smell permeated the surroundings, and the cold humidity was constantly swirling in the candlelight.

There were many people imprisoned in the prison, all of them held in solitary confinement, all of them with iron chains bound hand and foot, their hair disheveled, their clothes ragged, and their hideous faces were enough to see the torment of surviving in this hell on earth, and the burning candle seemed to them to never burn out.

Some of them sat silently on the ground, and some straightened up, staring straight at the door, looking at Azoutai and them.

People who have been imprisoned in such a place for a long time are likely to go crazy if they don't commit suicide if they don't have a firm will, and of course, for these people who are strong in martial arts, turning their attention to cultivating martial arts may become a relief that can make people anesthetized for a long time.

In a group of people with scattered heads, the bald monk is very eye-catching, Zong Zheng saw at a glance that there were three monks sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle two cells, with their eyes closed, without saying a word, and they estimated in their hearts that they should be the senior brothers in the sad mouth, but after some searching, they did not see the more elderly master of Kuji.

Tsushotai seemed to notice Zong Zheng's eyes, and Zong Zheng also realized that his eye search had aroused Ashwagei's suspicions, and in order to distract him, Zong Zheng pretended to be angry and asked, "Who are these people? You don't want to keep me here, do you?"

Zongzheng's words made Asutai put aside the suspicion that had just been ignited, and Sui An persuaded: "There is no better place to go, you just bear with it!"

With a squeak, the pavilion master immediately opened an empty cell closest to the door and made a gesture of please.

Asutai threw a glance at Zongzheng to signal him to enter, and Zongzheng knew that there was no other way, so he had to go in obediently, and when the door of the cell was slammed shut, Asutai hurried to leave.

"Stop!" Zong Zheng suddenly shouted,

"What else?" said Asutai, a little impatiently.

Zong Zheng turned his back, revealing his hands that were tied by ropes behind his back, and shouted, "Why don't you help me untie the rope! Oh! By the way, I still have something very important that I forgot to give to the Great Khan, and I hope you will pass it on to him." ”

Only then did Asutai realize that because he was in a hurry to pursue Kublai Khan with Ali Buge, he had forgotten to untie the rope for Zongzheng, so he hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope for Zongzheng.

After the rope was untied, Zong Zheng turned around and rubbed his sore wrist.

"Tell me, what else do you need to tell the Great Khan?" asked Asutai.

"I have a bag here, please give it to the Great Khan, tell the Great Khan, you must wait until you have to open it!

Ah Sutai glanced at Zong Zheng disdainfully, and took the so-called bag from Zong Zheng's hand at random, "Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving! The Great Khan is still waiting for me!"

"Yes, I want to ask, who is in charge of this Juxian Pavilion after you leave?" Zong Zheng replied,

"Why are you asking this?" Ah Sutai looked irritated, if it weren't for Zongzheng's special identity, he would have left a long time ago.

"I'm not a prisoner, it's so heavily guarded here, if I want to eat something good, or ask for something, I have to let me know who to turn to!" explained Zongzheng, very unhappy.

"Do you want me to eat the same food as these prisoners?" Zong Zhengfu asked rhetorically,

Ah Sutai really didn't want to say a word, so he made a gesture to the pavilion master of Juxian Pavilion, and after the pavilion master understood, he came to Zong Zheng and explained: "Hello, I am the pavilion master, if you have any requirements, you can shout directly, if you want to eat or other things, we will reach your cell by pulling the iron chain basket on the ground, you can just reach out and take it yourself!"

Zong Zheng suddenly realized the purpose of these openings and chains, which were originally used to pass food, so it was no wonder that there was such a big opening.

"Okay! I have nothing else to do! You can go!"

Asutai and the pavilion master immediately left in a hurry, slamming the three prison doors shut, and the whole dungeon was quiet again, very quiet, very quiet, a little terrifyingly quiet.

Zong Zheng took advantage of the dim candle flame to look at a few people around him.

Directly opposite, a person sat in the prison with a cloak and a haircut, without saying a word, but his eyes were wide open, and he kept looking at himself, his eyes made Zong Zheng a little panicked, Zong Zheng was very curious, so he asked the man, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

The man still looked dead, still staring at himself, without a word, Zong Zhengfu asked again, "Why are you looking at me?"

The man still looked indifferent.

Zong Zheng felt bored and stopped looking at the other side, and shifted his gaze to the person in the prison next door, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, Zong Zheng looked at him carefully, only to see that there was a vague scar on the left side of his face, in order to see more carefully, Zong Zheng also deliberately took a few steps forward.

It is estimated that he sensed the footsteps of Zong Zheng in front of him, the man suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Zong Zheng, his eyes were full of surprise and half doubt, more intimidation, Zong Zheng looked at his eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, and naturally turned his eyes away, and asked loudly,

"Hey, who are you, and why are you being locked up here?"

After a long time, except for the echo of his own question, he never heard any echo, Zong Zheng grabbed his head and looked at the silent group of people, he didn't believe that no one ignored him, and shouted again: "Are you all deaf?

The whole corridor was still only his own echo, and Zongzheng felt bored, and turned to look quietly at the door, as if he was pondering something, or waiting for something.

After Asutai came out of Juxian Pavilion, he hurried to the camp outside the palace, hurried slowly, or a step slower, and received a message from the general of the garrison battalion, saying that the Great Khan had led 70,000 elites and Juxian Pavilion masters to rush to the direction of the Broken Intestine Cliff, and asked Asutai to lead his own guards to come immediately.

Ali Buge led the men and horses to quickly pursue along the horseshoe prints in front, non-stop, all the way windy and dusty, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

After two hours of continuous pursuit, it was already dawn, however, they had no intention of resting.

Thirty miles ahead was Kublai Khan's army, exhausted from a night's run, and resting for a while.

Suddenly, a white pigeon flew down on Fa Sipa's shoulder, making a cooing sound, Fa Siba gently grabbed the white pigeon, took out a rolled up note from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and unfolded it to see that the words "The tiger has come out of the mountain" were written on it.

Fa Si Pa was overjoyed when he saw it, so he hurried to Kublai Khan's side, and when he saw Kublai Khan, Fa Si Pa said excitedly: "Great Khan, report from the front, the tiger has come out of the mountain!"

"Okay!" Kublai Khan straightened up and couldn't help but exclaim, "It depends on whether Liu Xingtai's side can attract the 'wolf pack'!"

At the moment of joy, a signal soldier hurriedly carried a letter to report, Kublai Khan took the letter from the signal soldier's hand, and his originally happy face suddenly changed greatly, and he scolded loudly: "Stupid, a group of stupid people, I can't stand it!"

Fa Si Pa asked, "What's wrong?"

Kublai Khan handed the letter to Fa Sipa, only to know that Xian Jie had already escaped from Kaiping by using the maid as a stand-in, Fa Siba couldn't understand that Kaiping Mansion was heavily guarded, how did Xian Jie escape, however, the matter has come to this point, and there is no point in pursuing it carefully, but he is worried about what Xian Jie's escape has to do with Zongzheng, after all, Xian Jie is detained in Kaiping Mansion as a hostage, and now that the hostages have escaped, it is difficult to guarantee that Zong Zheng will have a potential conspiracy in this big plan.

Fa Siba carefully counted every step of the moment, and even deduced all the possibilities to go on according to the plan, he couldn't find the threat that Zong Zheng existed to himself in this plan, on the contrary, Ali Buge had already been dispatched, the whole game had been set, and Zong Zheng seemed to have no reason or opportunity to cause harm to himself.

Just as he was in a reverie, the signal soldier handed over another letter, "Great Khan, this is the letter that the girl left before leaving!"

Kublai Khan hurriedly took it, Fa Siba also leaned forward with concern to take a look, and the letter Xianjie explained that he could not rest assured that he would not be Zhengzheng, and asked Kublai Khan to forgive himself for not saying goodbye.

Fa Siba suddenly felt that Xianjie's departure might be an accident, and maybe Zongzheng didn't know about it, but he was still worried about what variables it would bring, so he thought about how to deal with it.

Regardless of whether Xianjie's escape was Zong Zheng's premeditated plan or an accidental accident of personal feelings, Fa Siba felt that as long as Xianjie was intercepted in advance, things would still go well, because, if it was premeditated, then Xianjie fell into his hands again, which would also make Zong Zheng throw himself into a trap, and he would not dare to act rashly to make a move or plan to threaten the Great Khan.

Thinking of this, Fa Siba made a careful calculation according to the time when Xianjie left, and concluded that even if Xianjie was quick and non-stop, he had definitely not arrived in Helin at this time, not to mention that it was not easy to break through the barrier set by Ali Buge to intercept the southward retreat of his army.

Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart.

Kublai Khan was also particularly worried about this sudden change, and when asked about the countermeasures in his heart, he informed him of the countermeasures in his heart, and Kublai Khan felt that there was no better way at the moment, so he approved his course of action.

Seeing that Ali Buge was about to chase after him, Kublai Khan immediately ordered the whole army to set off, and then marched ten miles forward to be the first barrier, which was a small earthen city that Kublai Khan had ordered to build after setting up an escape route, built by a narrow path, and prepared to set up an ambush there to delay Ali Buge's pursuit and slow down his offensive edge.
