Following the patrol guards to another place, they deliberately slowed down and escaped, and the vaulted warehouse was clearly visible in the near distance, with a dozen pairs of sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. If you want to rush in directly, it is impossible, and you have already been prepared for that posture.

Xiong Xuan calmly walked through the line of guards and passing maids, and gradually approached the location of the warehouse gate.

When he walked to a place just a few feet away from the warehouse, two guards dressed strangely stopped Xiong Hao, presumably these two guards were the stewards of the warehouse, and the other guards would not dare to let others in without the consent of these two people.

The walking Xiong Hao subconsciously stopped, his eyes looked calmly ahead, the three fingers of his palm were bent, and his thumb was close to his belt.

After the two butler-level guards signaled to each other, they clenched their fists together and placed them on their chests, Xiong Hao immediately changed his gestures, his arms were lowered and his fists were clenched horizontally. The guard immediately nodded in agreement and opened the door to the warehouse for Xiong Hao.

Luckily, I found out that they had a codeword, otherwise the flies wouldn't have wanted to get in. At this time, although Xiong Yan was calm, he was also a little nervous, in case of a little mistake, he might lose all his efforts, or even startle the snake, and the mysterious Huagong Gate might be transferred to another place. In that case, Zhang Jinkai's previous efforts will be in vain.

Entering the warehouse, the temperature was humid, but the fire was bright, and the guards were heavily guarded. The ground is open, and each small door is thick and firm, which is made of pure high-quality iron, and it is difficult for ordinary masters to break the door.

What puzzled Xiong Yan was why the large area was empty if this was a warehouse, and it seemed that the secret was in those small iron gates with impregnable walls.

The inside is different from the outside, the guards inside the warehouse can communicate with each other, and it is expected that the people who can enter here will be a little less suspicious, so they will be allowed to communicate freely.

"Ai, what are you doing, this is a first-class criminal, no one is allowed to approach casually without the instructions of the prime minister and the master!" the guard with a short sword sternly ordered.

"Criminal? It turns out that this is not a warehouse. ”

"Hey, don't hurry up and get away!"

"Oh, lowly get it. Let's go patrol somewhere else!" Xiong Hao came back to his senses and responded.

Rounding around half a circle, aiming at a small gate with few guards and not strictly guarded, he quietly stunned a person who delivered food, and walked to the small door with a food basket himself.

"Wait, what are you doing?" the guard stopped.

"It's time, and the lowly is here to deliver food. ”

One of the guards opened the basket, lifted the dishes, and took a silver needle out of his pocket and examined it before allowing him in.

"Let's go in, the hour of a cup of tea will not stay long!"

"Yes, my lord!

Xiong Hao covered the basket and walked through the small door where the prisoner was held.

As soon as you entered the door, you could smell the thick smell of blood, and there were three people imprisoned inside, two of whom were tied to a cross stake, and one was hung in the air, all of whom were beaten to the point that their flesh was torn apart and their flesh was blurred.

An executive guard was ravaging and whipping a man hanging in mid-air, and when he saw the food deliverer coming, he stopped to take a nap.

"Well, you came just in time, you happened to be hungry, this work is really tiring. The mouths of these civil officials are really difficult to pry open, and they would rather die than say the instigators behind them, which is really tired and crooked. Executive Wei sighed helplessly as he picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Xiong Yan cautiously accompanied: "Hehe, my lord has worked hard. Alas, these people just have too long to live, so you can rest well. ”

"Well, okay, you go and feed them, now they still have the value of use, so we can't let them die so soon, go ahead!"

"Okay, sir, you eat slowly. ”

Xiong Yan picked up the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the middle, put down the chains, and prepared to feed him, but the man resolutely refused.

"Hmph! I want to see Wu Chenghe!"

Hearing this, the executive walked over and showed a disdainful smile, "Hehehe, you want to see our Xiangye? ”

"Yes, sir!"

Xiong Yan continued to feed, but they all regarded death as home, and did not want to eat a bite.

"Don't hide it from the three of you, in Xia Xiong Hao, it is a person sent by General Zhenguo, can you tell me why these people are holding you?"

The three of them were shocked: "General Zhenguo?"

Looking back at each other, the man in the middle said, "Are you really the person sent by General Zhenguo? Why should we believe you?"

"You see, I don't have their imprints on my arms, and I have the dagger given to me by the general. ”

Although they were skeptical, they still tentatively believed Xiong Yan for the time being. But because there are still some suspicions, I didn't reveal much. "The old man is the commander of Jinyang County, one of these two is the county government secretary, and the other is the imperial sword guard. Because of political discord with the left, he was caught here by his subordinates. ”

"It turns out that all the people imprisoned here are Wu Chenghe's political enemies, please rest assured, Xiong Yan will definitely find an opportunity to rescue you out. I can't stay too long, take care, my lord, I will report the situation here to General Zhang. Seeing movement outside the door, Xiong Yan reacted immediately.

"Okay, there's Lao Xiong Shaoxia. “
