353 The first test of the prison cell of the Jiedu Mansion
Without waiting for Wu Zheng and the four of them to arrive at the city of Bingzhou, Wu Zheng's name had already spread throughout the entire northwest of Shanxi Province and into the city of Bingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Therefore, when they treated the plague patients all the way, it took them ten days to arrive in less than 500 miles, and the city was already under martial law, and there were hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding each city gate, closely checking the passers-by.
In this regard, Wu Zheng had expected that under Mo Zi's skillful hands, the original weak scholar had already become a sick, forty-year-old, and grizzled middle-aged man from the countryside at this time. And Yun Lan and Ouyang Qinxin were also beaten by Mo Zi into a pair of rustic country girls with dark faces. Of course, Mo Zi didn't forget to make himself uglier, just like a wild boy in the countryside.
"Stop, what's your name, where you're from, what's the matter with going into the city?"
"Master Huijun, my name is Wang Jin, and I am from Lijiazhuang outside the city. Because the family has been without cooking for many days, the elderly and sick parents are hungry, so they don't want to take their son and two daughters into the city to see if they can find a buyer, so that they can buy rice for a few taels of silver to survive. ”
An authentic local dialect was learned by Wu Zheng for half a day.
The officers and soldiers guarding the door stared at Wu Zheng and Yun Lan and the three girls carefully, and asked the names of Mo Zi and the three of them one by one, and finally let them enter the city with a wave of their hands.
I was going to enter the city before the gates were closed, so it was dark before long. The four of them had already summed it up, and if they wanted to know the situation of Ning Yunchong, the former Jiedu envoy, they naturally had to go to the Jiedu Mansion to inquire. So he ate something casually on the street, and in the dead of night, Wu Zheng hugged Yun Lan, followed by Ouyang Qinxin and Mo Zi, and entered the Bingzhou Jiedu Mansion together.
There were no lights and candles everywhere, all of them were pitch black, except for the soldiers on night patrol carrying a lantern in their hands. Wu Zheng quietly followed behind with his three daughters until he came to the entrance of a cell.
"Password. ”
"Wu Zheng. ”
Reply. ”
"Getaway. ”
It is not difficult to find from the passwords of the officers and soldiers that Wu Zheng has become a person who strictly guards the city of Bingzhou.
Seeing that there were hundreds of soldiers guarding the cell, Wu Zheng's heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately condensed the voice into a line and told the third girl:
"It's heavily guarded, and there must be important people in the prison. The three of you are hiding in the shadows, Lan'er arranges the formation to prevent being discovered by the soldiers, and I will go down and take a look. ”
After speaking, she found that the three girls all shook their heads to refuse, and Ouyang Qinxin simply came up and took Wu Zheng's hand, and wrote in the palm of her hand:
"Childe can't take risks alone, the cell is so tightly guarded, it's hard to ensure that there is no mechanism below. ”
Yun Lan also came over and wrote:
"Brother, I can use the formation to hide everyone's whereabouts for a period of time, and I won't be discovered by the soldiers. ”
Wu Zheng knew that there was a special formation for concealing his body in the formation of the Heavenly Dao Gate, so after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
So, Yun Lan casually took out four small flags from the carry-on package, and each of them issued one, but with a wave of his hand, a simple concealment formation had already been laid out. Nodding at Wu Zheng, Ouyang Qinxin, and Mo Zi, they were about to raise their feet, but Ouyang Qinxin took the lead in front.
Quite smoothly, the four of them walked in lightly under the noses of the officers and soldiers on duty.
As Ouyang Qin expected, after entering the cell, he did not find the prison door, but turned into a long unlit passage not far away. First, I cautiously stretched out my toes and tried it, and I heard the **** sound of arrows in the passage. And the ground under his feet also turned abruptly, although he couldn't see it, he could guess that there must be a bottomless pit below.
"Who?!"
The movement in the passage naturally alarmed the officers and soldiers on duty outside, and with a shout, more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed in with lanterns. It's just that when he just walked to the side of Wu Zheng and the four of them who were hidden by the formation, he stopped.
"It's rats again, how many times is this?"
"It's like, what kind of broken mechanism, how can a mouse be activated?"
More than a dozen officers and soldiers chattered for a while, and one of them reached out and pressed it on the wall of the passage next to him, and the mechanism that had just been activated returned to its original state again.
After they scolded and walked away, the three of them all turned their heads to look at Ouyang Qinxin together.
"Childe, this button just now is only the key to restoring the mechanism, and the key to stopping the mechanism should not be in the passage. ”
Ouyang Qinxin's words are not difficult to understand, generally the key to the control organ will be left in a place that is easy to guard, and will never be placed in a place that is easy to be discovered.
Through the light in the hands of the officers and soldiers just now, Wu Zheng had already seen that at the end of the passage was a black iron door. In other words, once you enter the iron gate, you should be out of the control of the agency.
"Childe, let me come. ”
Seeing that Mo Zi wanted to use her kung fu to rush over, Wu Zheng hurriedly stopped her. turned to ask Ouyang Qinxin: "Is there a way?"
"Well, let me try. ”
I saw Ouyang Qinxin retreat to the button that was pressed by the officers and soldiers just now, and said to Wu Zheng: "Childe pick it up with the tip of the sword, don't let it fall back." ”
At this time, Wu Zheng was left in the Mo Mansion and was sent by Mo Zi to the Lingyun Sword of the Taibai Peak Gourd Valley. With a slight input of internal force, the sword body suddenly released a trace of light, although it was not very bright, but in this pitch-black passage, it was enough for the four of them to see the scene in front of them clearly.
Yi Yan used the tip of the Lingyun Sword to provoke the button, and Ouyang Qinxin took out a short dagger from the package, first carefully dug a fist-sized pit around the button, and then took out another handkerchief from the carry-on package, cut it into strips of cloth in three or two, and wrapped it around the handle under the button one by one. Finally, with a slight stroke on the wall of the passage, a small piece of rock was cut off and stuffed inside.
"Childe let go and try. ”
Sure enough, after Wu Zheng let go of the Lingyun Sword in his hand, the button did not fall back again.
Without letting the three girls take risks, Wu Zheng simply stepped forward and lightly tapped the ground that Ouyang Qinxin had touched just now with his toes. Seeing that the mechanism was not stimulated, he cautiously walked step by step. Seeing this, Yun Lan, Mo Zi, and Ouyang Qin saw this, and with the help of the faint light emitted from the Lingyun Sword in Wu Zheng's hand, they followed the place where Wu Zheng had stepped and lightly followed behind them.
It took about a quarter of an hour for the four of them to walk out of the long passage and to the black iron door.
Ouyang Qinxin stepped forward again, observed it carefully, and then reached out and gently pushed the iron door, until it was confirmed that there was no mechanism, then he reached out and pulled out a hairpin from his head, gently inserted it into the keyhole, and opened it effortlessly.
"Sister, I'll look for you when my sister doesn't have any money to spend in the future. ”
At such a tense moment, Mo Zi still didn't forget to joke with Ouyang Qinxin. Hearing this, Ouyang Qinxin and Yun Lan both raised their hands to cover their mouths, lest they laugh. It's just that when they entered the iron gate, no one could laugh. (To be continued.) )
