Chapter Twenty-Four: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths

The east is white, and the ink-soaked night slowly fades.

The cold wind was still strong, and countless dead branches and leaves were scattered on the bluestone road, and the sound of footsteps was endless.

Lei Fang led Suo Jia to the northwest corner of the Inspection Division, and found that the iron gate of the prison was empty and there were no guards, so he hurriedly entered the corridor, and saw Song Zhutou and others who had lost their official uniforms stacked motionless at the corner, life and death were unknown, and he couldn't help but change his face and fear in his heart.

With a hint of luck, he rushed into the death row, and in the face of the empty cell and the old jailer who also lost his official uniform and stood like a log, Lei Fang let out a desperate wail.

Then the panic and despair turned into hysterical anger and resentment, his face was gloomy, and his eyes scanned back and forth on Song Zhutou and the others who were escorted in, like a sharp knife cutting flesh and bones.

"Bastard! Rice bucket! A bunch of ...... of waste"

Angry and anxious roars echoed through the prison like thunderbolts, mixed with the dull sound of punches and kicks, and the hundreds of prisoners outside were silent, inexplicably terrified.

The sword is dazzling, and the chill is pressing.

In a fit of rage, Lei Fang raised his knife and slashed at Song Zhu's head.

The change was sudden, and the knife was as fast as lightning. Even if the colleagues who admired Song Catcher on weekdays had the heart to rescue, it was too late, and they all hung their heads and closed their eyes, unable to bear to witness the next picture of blood splashing on the spot.

The raised knife froze two inches in front of Song Zhu's head.

A fat hand rested on the tip of the knife, and with a slight pinch, the stainless steel treasure knife suddenly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Lei Fang looked at the hilt of the knife in his hand in astonishment, and his murderous gaze instantly dimmed when he touched the owner of the fat hand, and he gritted his teeth and suppressed all his anger and hatred.

"This matter has nothing to do with the master, I hope you don't interfere. Lei Fang said, squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Lei Fang's left face had five more finger marks, and it instantly became red and swollen.

"Hey...... The poor monk acted but acted with his likes and dislikes, regardless of the reason, and played prestige in front of the poor monk, do you say that you should fight?

"The ...... It's time to fight, it's ...... Good ......" Lei Fang had a feeling of wanting to cry.

"Bang Bang ......"

Two crisp sounds, Lei Fang's cheeks were a little swollen again, and the hot burning pain made his eyes unconsciously fill with tears, he was a little confused, and for some reason he slapped these two palms again.

"If you think you play well, the poor monk will reward you with two more palms, don't be too moved, hahaha......"

After laughing for a while, Soga said again: "It depends on the situation, the poor monks are a step late, and they have already left this place. Hey, that's kind of interesting...... Let them bounce outside for a while, and the poor monk will send them on their way. ”

After speaking, his body flashed, and the person had already risen to the sky, knocked the death row open a gap, and walked away.

Lei Fang looked at the gap on the roof of the prison in a daze, and felt that he had always thought that "the prison is impregnable" was simply a big joke.

The cold wind swept up a few residual leaves and poured in, and the cold inside the prison was even stronger.

Lei Fang shrunk his neck, his disordered head finally sobered up a little, glanced at Song Zhu's first few people, and walked out with a cold snort.

The top priority is to mobilize everyone to dig three feet into the ground to search for the whereabouts of Pony and the others, and inform the Phantom Hall as soon as possible so that they can respond. As for whether he lives or dies after this matter, from the moment he accepts the silver ticket, he has no choice.

***

In the south of Ezhou City, on a small earthen hill seven or eight miles away from the Inspection Division, the arbors are like forests, and although the cold winter is coming, the greenery still exists.

The five ponies were hiding in it at this time.

Half an hour earlier, they had changed into the clothes of the swift hunters, and had left the prison and gone out into the backyard in the darkness of night.

Along the road, there are really bright posts and secret sentries, and the guards are tight, fortunately, there is the waist card of Song Zhutou in hand, and everyone is easy to wear and disguise, and occasionally the officers and soldiers who meet the patrol are just casually greeting, and there is not too much checking.

All the way out of the inspection department, the five of them chose a lonely place to run for a long time, and unconsciously came to this small dirt hill.

After days of hunger, cold, hunger, and hunger, and fatigue, the pony said, "Let us rest here for a while, and then go west out of the city." ”

Shanyuan said: "The monk is already hungry and thirsty, if there are chasing soldiers coming, he will definitely not be able to get half of the benefits, and he must think of a way to fill his stomach before making plans." ”

Murong Yuxin evened out her breath and said, "Although it is temporarily out of danger now, it is estimated that the inspection department will not be able to hide it for long, and when they change the guard, they will notice that something is wrong. The entire city of Ezhou is under the control of the government and mysterious people, and once the news leaks, it will be even more difficult for us to get out of the city. ”

Xiao Ma said thoughtfully: "The loud noise just now is obviously coming from the Inspection Division, there should be something abnormal." Our escape may have already been discovered, and even now it's too late to get out of the city."

"This time we escaped death, although the crisis has not been eliminated, but things have been very different, before the enemy was dark and I was clear, and I couldn't prevent it, and now the enemy is bright and I am dark, and it happens to be unprepared.

"Mr. Di has a great friendship with Huang Yizhou, the commander of Huguangdu, and he can go to find him at this time to recount the previous situation, if we can thoroughly investigate the case of the Ezhou Branch Bureau, then we will be able to clear the suspicion, and secondly, the forces behind the scenes will create a chaotic situation in this way, and the conspiracy to destroy the Golden Lion Dart Bureau will not succeed.

"As long as there is the government's support to refute the rumors, and then the flying pigeon spreads to the major alliances, discuss major matters, and share the same hatred of the enemy, even if the mysterious forces of the day repeat their old tricks, there is no need to be afraid.

"Only one, the total dart head must be kept in mind, in the dart alliance, it is inevitable that there will be coerced and lured by the mysterious forces, intimidation and coercion and apostatism, the total dart head must be careful, if it can be rescued and redeemed, it is best to save nature, if not, it is possible to draw a line as soon as possible to avoid a lot of trouble in the future. ”

"What Brother Ma said is extremely true, Di should be cautious. ”

Xiao Ma didn't say anything more, some trivial things don't need to be said too much, Di Ren has been running the dart bureau for more than 30 years, and many specific things are naturally more proficient than him, and the matter here is now temporarily over, and the next thing to consider is the matter of the white jade wolf carving.

The pony pondered for a moment and said to Di Ren: "The white jade wolf eagle has fallen into the hands of the mysterious person, and you will be delivered to a safe place, and I will return to the inspection department to inquire about your whereabouts." If Mr. Di can be trusted, the matter of escorting the white jade wolf carving will be handed over to us, and the top priority of the head of the dart head is to work together with the other four dart bureaus to smash the conspiracy of the mysterious people and keep the alliance of the dart bureaus. ”

Di Ren said: "If it weren't for the help of the Pony brothers, Di would have already been ordered to go to Huangquan, how can he have any doubts about you?

"It's come to this, even if they want to stay out of it, they definitely won't stop there, it's a matter of the world, and the head of the dart ......" Pony suddenly motioned for everyone to be quiet, and whispered, "Someone is coming." ”

The wind swept through the trees, and the sound of whimpering and grumbling was mixed with the sound of rustling footsteps.

The pony watched for a while, but the forest was dim, and he only vaguely saw a burly man looking around and suspiciously touching into the woods.

In a flash, the pony was already at the man's side, his left hand was hooked, locking the man's shoulder blades, and his right palm was against the man's waist, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are you?

"Little ...... Little look, but Ma Shaoxia?"

"Zhangwang, why are you here?

"It's really you, little one...... Little finally looking forward to you......" Zhang Wang cried with joy, and his excitement was beyond words.

The pony let go of his hand, looked at "Plop" and knelt down in front of Di Ren, and said with tears: "On Dongmen Street that day, the head of the dart let Wang Dart Master and the little one leave the aftermath. At that time, there was a head catcher surnamed Song, but he didn't embarrass us, and roughly asked the reason, and the accompanying colleagues made a record, so we first found a place to settle down, but we couldn't leave Ezhou City for the time being, so that the yamen could summon us at any time.

"I was so happy that we drove the dart car to the Ezhou Branch, never thought that we were near there, but saw the officers and soldiers on the third floor inside and outside the dart bureau surrounded. At that time, it was getting late, and I had the heart to find someone to ask what was going on, but the doors and windows of every house were locked, and I didn't know for a while, so Wang Dart asked everyone to hide in the dark and watch first.

After waiting for a while, I saw the chief dart head and several young men coming out of the dart bureau to talk to the official master, and returned to the inspection department with them. Wang Dart Master said, "I am afraid that the head of the dart will be more auspicious in this trip, although the official will agree on the surface, he will definitely turn his face when he wants to come to the Yamen." Listening to their words, Xu shopkeeper and others have suffered all the accidents, Ezhou side has nothing to do, now the only way is to fly the pigeon back to Luoyang, the matter to the young dart, in addition, I rushed to the Wuchang branch overnight, to find Liu shopkeeper to discuss the rescue strategy.

"I hope that you and everyone will settle down first, and then you must go to the inspection department every day to secretly monitor the movements and inquire about the news. The head of the dart is affectionate and righteous to us, and at this time, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire have to try to rescue.

For several days, the younger one and his brothers waited day and night outside the inspection department, not daring to reveal their identities or go to inquire about them, for fear that the chief dart head would encounter something unexpected and be humiliated, and he would be anxious all day long.

"At the time of the fifth watch, the little one saw several officials in the back alley coming out of the wall, and felt very strange, and saw that one of the people was very similar to the head of the dart, so he followed all the way, and did not want to lose it in this vicinity, and looked around for a long time before finding it into the woods, God has eyes, and finally let the little one find the head of the dart......"

Di Ren said: "Di Mou's suffering this time has suffered the brothers, but fortunately, there is no endless road to heaven, and the Golden Lion Dart Bureau will be able to turn evil into good fortune and survive this catastrophe." ”

The morning light passed through the trees and fell on everyone, and the chill seemed to have subsided a lot.

"Now that Master Wang has gone to Wuchang, Shopkeeper Liu must have made some moves. Everyone is separated here, we still go west out of the city, lead away the officers and soldiers and the mysterious people, the head of the dart disguised, waiting for the opportunity to take Wuchang, should be able to meet them halfway. Pony said.

"In this way, the white jade wolf eagle will ask the four, and the matter of the dart alliance is over, and Di will definitely advance and retreat with you. ”

After exchanging respects, the four ponies walked out of the forest, discerned the direction, and headed for the west gate.
