Chapter 114: handshake
As the saying goes, there are four great joys in life, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, the time of the gold list, the rain after a long drought, and the old acquaintance in a foreign land.
However, at this time and night, there may be a fifth joy to be added.
That is "going to prison and being robbed in prison".
There is really nothing in the world that is more gratifying than surviving a desperate situation.
At a glance, there are people in the prison.
Many death row inmates awaiting trial who committed serious crimes were ecstatic when they saw this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, or vigorously shook the unopened cell doors on both sides, or ran out from inside, shouting loudly. What.
A group of people, the momentum is mighty.
Most of the people rushed towards the outside of the dungeon.
However, there are a few people wearing prison uniforms who have not had time to take off, running against the crowd abnormally, holding long knives in their hands, looking for each cell.
These people are obviously not religious.
After seeing some cells, they didn’t stop there, and in some cells, after asking who was inside, they opened the cell door with a knife or a key they found on the jailer’s body, and let the person out.
But the further they walked back, the deeper the anxiety on their expressions became.
Jiang Xuening was wrapped in the crowd, and also held by Zhang Zhe's hand. When walking all the way forward, she casually looked up and found these unusual people.
She always felt that these people seemed to be looking for someone.
So his eyes could not help but quietly followed them.
After turning a few more cells forward, several people suddenly saw something and shouted something to the cell in the middle.
At this time when everyone was excited, there was a man sitting quietly inside.
The dirty prison clothes were worn on him, and it hadn't been changed for an unknown period of time. They were full of stains and bloodstains. A pair of feet stepped on the cold ground casually with the legs apart, and the body sat back behind him. On the ground scattered with some grass cores, the wrists of both hands are pressed against the knees, but the palms of the hands are hanging down from the front.
A thick, strong chain bound his ankles.
His long hair, which he hadn't taken care of for a while, fell loose, covering his face.
As if he didn't hear the movement outside at all, he didn't even take a step outside.
He didn't raise his head until those people came and called him.
The prison door was quickly opened.
The man stood up from the ground, his figure was tall and burly, no nonsense, he didn't need the help of those few people, he bent down and stretched out his hands, and firmly grasped the iron chain on his feet with both palms and pulled it, only to hear There was a sound of "clang", and the thick iron chain was pulled, deformed and suddenly broken, which shows how powerful this man is.
Jiang Xuening was still walking forward, her eyelids twitched when she saw this scene from a distance.
The prison was chaotic and noisy, and no one had time to take care of anyone. Unexpectedly, the unkempt man seemed to be aware of it, and raised his head at this moment, looking in Jiang Xuening's direction.
Sharp eyes flashed through the gaps in his messy hair like a falcon.
Jiang Xuening's back shivered, and she felt that this gaze was filled with an indescribable indifference and cruelty, the kind of gaze that only a vicious person who has licked blood from a knife edge would have.
However, it was too late to investigate.
At this moment, they had already turned the corner, arrived at the gate of the prison, and rushed outside.
The soldiers who escorted the Yongyihou's Mansion had just arrived, and the guards in the Tianlao were lax. When they were beaten in by the Tianjiao disciples, how could they have the slightest strength to fight back now? In order to save his own life, he fought while retreating, and they easily broke through the blockade!
On that quiet long road, Xie Wei's carriage was still in place.
After a while, Daoqin, who went to check the news, came back.
When he got to the carriage, he bowed and said: "Things are going well, the sky prison has been breached by these people, and the city gate has been properly arranged, just waiting for Mr. Zhang to lead people through. Xiaobao is also here. It shouldn't be possible to lose track. It's just that Meng Yang..."
Xie Wei is afraid of the cold, if it is not necessary, he does not want to go out in snowy weather.
Seeing snow always reminds me of some bad things.
Sitting in the carriage at the moment, he didn't even open the curtain, his face was as pale as jade due to the cold, he interrupted Daoqin lightly and said: "A dangerous person should be used for danger, it's just a pawn, bad No big deal."
Dao Qin didn't dare to speak anymore.
From a distance, some movement could be heard from a few streets away.
Soon it was small again.
Presumably, the gang of Tianjiao priests and prisoners passed through the nearby streets after they got out of the sky prison.
After escaping, some people did not follow the crowd, but quietly disappeared in the darkness, fleeing for their lives alone.
But most of the prisoners who escaped from the prison subconsciously followed the Tianjiao people, even though they took advantage of the night and headed towards the west of the city gate together.
Someone could be vaguely heard asking: "Didn't you agree to go to the east of the city?"
Then Zhang Zhe replied calmly: "There is an ambush at the east gate of the city, go there for fear of dying, you can go if you want."
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
At the same time, at the gate of the prison, it was a different scene.
Zhou Yinzhi didn't realize what happened at all.
After hiding Jiang Xuening in the most remote prison, he pretended to be nonchalant and went out to check on the situation that the imperial guards had come to arrest Yongyihou's Mansion for exile. After the matter was over, he was going to come back and bring Jiang Xuening out. Unexpectedly, several colleagues from the Ministry of Punishment and Jin Yiwei dragged him to drink and gamble in the back office. In the past, Zhou Yinzhi would not refuse this kind of thing, but today he failed to refuse once, fearing that there would be a loophole, he had no choice but to go in with this group of people to gamble money, and after a couple of preparations, he would get some news and find an excuse to change clothes and go back to prison.
In the end, after only two bets, there was a lot of shouting and killing outside.
He trembled all over and pressed the knife and wanted to get up and rush out, but the official in charge of guarding the sky prison saw this and pulled him to sit down again, and said with a smile: "You Jin Yiwei don't know, today is in this sky prison. There is a big event to come out, the holy order has been ordered, don't go out, don't do bad things."
Looking at the people at Sanfasi, everyone is calm and relaxed.
Completely pretended not to hear the movements outside.
Zhou Yinzhi was anxious, and he didn't dare to go to Jiang Xuening. He held his temper and took the opportunity to inquire, only to find out that there was a top secret plan today, which was only revealed to a few people. The jailers who are still in the sky prison are not aware of it. Alright, sacrifice it, just wait for those people to successfully rob the prison!
That Jiang Xuening...
Zhou Yinzhi didn't dare to think about what would happen inside.
He can only hope that the hiding place he found for Jiang Xuening is deep in the sky prison, and there seems to be no prison in the middle, if he doesn't look inside or doesn't come out by himself, something is wrong. The chances of finding it inside are not high, and nothing may happen.
Forcing his composure on the face, he continued to gamble with the Houya people.
However, it is how many bets you lose.
Someone ridiculed him for running him out of fear, but he didn't care about it as if he had heard the wind.
After the movement outside the dungeon subsided and someone came in to report the situation, he quickly walked out with the crowd and re-entered the dungeon to check.
Unable to control his footsteps at this moment, he hurriedly walked towards the depths of the dungeon.
As he got closer to the cell, his heart beat faster and faster.
However, when he turned the corner and finally saw the clean cell, he saw nothing but emptiness!
There was no one in the cell.
The only thing left was the dress worn by the woman who was hurriedly stuffed under the bed, a corner protruding from the messy bedding.
There was a "buzz" in Zhou Yinzhi's head, and it turned blank in an instant, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the blood all over his body was cold!
When following Zhang Zhe all the way to the west city gate, Jiang Xuening's head was shocked by this sudden incident, and finally shed the initial bit of confusion and confusion. With the night wind blowing, she regained a bit of sobriety.
Passing back and forth, turning around in my mind.
She couldn't help but looked up at the figure walking in front of her holding her hand. In the cold wind, his wide palm wrapped hers, and there was some hot flashes from the palm, and she didn't know it was his palm. Sweating, or my palms sweating.
How could Zhang Zhe be in the prison?
Why do those people look like they came to save him?
And just now Zhang Zhe said that there was an ambush outside the east gate, as if he knew something in advance...
It can be seen that she was involved here, and she seemed very unhappy and a little angry.
The memory of the previous life told Jiang Xuening that the prison robbery was the work of the Heavenly Sect.
As for Zhang Zhe's character, when he was really imprisoned, no judge dared to write a verdict for him, and he had to write the verdict for himself to convict him, which is evident.
It is absolutely impossible for him to really participate in any prison robbery.
There seems to be a plan that I don't know about here.
She knew that she might be an accident in this plan, and she was afraid of causing trouble to Zhang Zhe, so she followed him tightly with her mouth tightly shut all the way, not daring to ask a question without authorization.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was tense at the moment, and no one noticed her.
The unkempt man who tore off the chain just now also followed behind like everyone else, very inconspicuous.
Just now when they left the prison, some people questioned that the original plan of the Tianjiao side was to go out through the east gate, after all, some of their sects had already managed it up and down.
But Zhang Zhe said that there was an ambush over there.
The masked leader on the Tianjiao side was skeptical, but seeing Zhang Zhe's swearing, he winked at the people next to him, and simply split into two groups: No matter whether there is an ambush or not, there are also Tianjiao at the east gate. The brothers responded, no matter what, they should ask someone to check the situation.
Some of those who had escaped from the prison followed.
But most of the people, especially those who were originally in the prison, seemed to trust Zhang Zhe quite a bit, and they all followed to the west gate.
At this moment, the leading man chuckled, stopped in the shadow of the high-rise buildings in Fangshi, looked at Zhang Zhe with a pair of shining eyes, and said: "I have been teaching for many years, but I don't know that there are court officials He is also a member of our teaching, Mr. Zhang is really amazing. I don’t know which year he entered which incense hall?”
Zhang Zhe didn't change his face even when he was facing the gang of vicious people in front of him.
Indifferently, he rolled his eyelids and glanced at the man, but he had no intention of responding. He just said, "Is it your business to ask about this matter? Now that we have arrived at the West City Gate, just in case, you send someone to come with me." Let’s go to the city gate together, and after confirming that there is no ambush at the west city gate, then lead someone to follow me through the city gate.”
The leading man had a scar on his eyebrows, looking a bit vicious.
Hearing Zhang Zhe's words, his eyes turned cold.
However, the moment the palm of the hand clenched the handle of the knife, he seemed to think of something, but he didn't have an attack, but said: "Then let me go with you. It's just that Mr. Zhang has to give a reason. I'll wait for the original arrangement plan." Well done, why do you say that there is an ambush over there, do you suspect that the people in my incense hall have leaked the news?"
In the Tianjiao, it is about helping and trusting, and joining the religion is a brother who will live and die.
This is the canon.
When everyone heard the man's words, they couldn't help whispering, and looked at Zhang Zhe with strange eyes.
Zhang Zhe naturally knew that the words of the head of the Tianjiao contained a dangerous meaning, but since he was involved in this situation, his safety should be ignored.
After all, Gu Chunfang owes him the kindness of knowing him.
He replied calmly: "I stepped into a dangerous situation to save Gongyicheng, the court released rumors that made us think that Gongyicheng was in the prison, but everyone must have seen it, Mr. Gongyi was not there. It can be seen that the imperial court has long been on guard against us. Since Mr. Gongyi is not here, there must be an explosion. Don't you think it is too easy to break into the prison? If I were the imperial court, I would definitely use the plan. Please enter the urn at the gate of the city Set up an ambush. There may not be an ambush at the East City Gate, but if there is an ambush, the East City Gate you were going to pass through must be close to death. If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to come with me.”
After saying that, he lightly let go of his hand, turned his head to look deeply at Jiang Xuening who had been silently looking at him all this time, and walked straight towards the city gate.
The released palm suddenly felt the cold wind blowing through the fingers.
Jiang Xuening's heartbeat suddenly tightened, and she couldn't breathe.
The others didn't expect Master Zhang to speak like this at all. It wasn't arrogance, but a kind of plainness that stood taller than them.
The head of the church that day frowned.
I don't know who murmured in the crowd: "That sounds very reasonable. When we were imprisoned, this lord had all his hands and eyes, and quietly asked us about Mr. Gongyi's whereabouts. But how dare he Calling Mr. Gongyi by his first and last name is really too courageous..."
Call Mr. Gongyi by his first and last name?
Some caring people in the crowd who paid attention to details suddenly felt their hearts jump.
It should be known that Gong Yicheng is the role of a first-class military adviser next to the head teacher in Tianjiao, and his status is somewhat higher than that of the incense masters at the entrances. It can be said that he is second only to the head teacher. I have to respectfully call out "Mr. Gongyi".
How many people in the church are qualified to call him by his first and last name?
Just doing the calculations like this, I couldn't help but secretly have some thoughts of my own.
But Zhang Zhe at the other end, after arriving at the gate of the city, he would inevitably be shouted and questioned, but the people guarding in the shadows at the back could clearly see that the soldiers guarding the city nearby couldn't help but fell silent after seeing that it was Zhang Zhe. With a respectful and fearful look, he opened the city gate quietly with a wave of his hand.
Zhang Zhe led the people back and said, "You can leave the city."
Everyone felt a little unbelievable, and looked at each other for a while, but no one dared to go forward first.
Zhang Zhe glanced at them, didn't say any more, and walked out of the city gate.
Jiang Xuening thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and followed without saying a word.
Because few people saw her when she rescued them from the prison just now, and she was wearing a man's robe. At first glance, although her back was a little thinner, she couldn't tell the difference between men and women. Like those who followed.
The city gate is at hand, and freedom is at hand.
Who can not be moved?
After having the first person, soon there was a second person, and a third person, all of them followed suit.
All the soldiers guarding the city lowered their heads and did not look at them, not intending to stop them at all.
The people behind saw it and followed up suspiciously.
It was an unprecedented experience: when everyone passed through the city gate safely and swaggeringly, they couldn't believe that those people who usually tucked their tails to avoid official orders were sent out respectfully by these city guards When I was in bed, I really felt an indescribable refreshment and excitement in my heart!
Some people couldn't help laughing when they left the gate of the city.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, Mr. Zhang is the best! I have never had such a good time in my life!"
"Hahaha, yes, the leader is really a man of God, and he actually hid such a powerful skill in the capital. It's a pity that he showed it too late. Otherwise, how could we have suffered from such birdishness before?"
"It actually came out..."
…
The leader of the sect that day couldn't help but frowned deeply, raised his eyes again, looked at Zhang Zhe carefully, and searched his memory for some clues about the person who was more mysterious than Mr. Gongyi, but found nothing.
He stepped forward to say a few compliments.
Then he tentatively opened his mouth and said: "It's really rough, I don't know how powerful Mr. Zhang is. I think Mr. Zhang will not use the current name in teaching, I don't know, but there is another name?"
Zhang Zhe's gaze suddenly became slightly colder, and fell directly on the man's face.
It was a long time without speaking.
Jiang Xuening held her breath slightly.
But Zhang Zhe turned his eyes away again, and said flatly, "I don't have another name, but I never heard that Huang Xiang is a meticulous and suspicious person in addition to being brave."
As soon as the words "Huang Xiangzhu" came out, Huang Qian's pupils constricted instantly.
He covered his face, so others couldn't see it, but under the veil that covered his face, his complexion had already changed drastically!
Tianjiao's plan for this prison robbery is also a top secret, it was an order personally issued by the head of the church, and he also secretly came to the capital from Tongzhou to be the leader, and the people who acted tonight were all summoned from the capital. It stands to reason that no one should be able to reveal his identity!
The Master Zhang in front of me...
A certain guess had been faintly rooted in his heart before, and at this moment, cold sweat broke out on Huang Qian's forehead.
If that one...
He was no longer bossy and bossy as before, and he didn't even dare to ask any more questions. He quickly bowed and said, "This subordinate is talking too much."
Zhang Zhe stopped talking.
In the silence, Jiang Xuening's gaze shifted from Huang Qian's face back to Zhang Zhe's face, but he saw some clues, and his eyes couldn't help being a little weird: Is this fake Tianjiao Nadu Junshan person?
It's a good choice.
After all, in the previous life, the Dujun Mountain native never saw the beginning but never saw the end. Until the Tianjiao was wiped out by Xie Wei, he did not reveal his exact whereabouts. Maybe he was a non-existent person, pretending to be such a person It couldn't be more appropriate.
She stood behind Zhang Zhe.
The clothes he was wearing had been changed, and the cloak was gone, it was quite thin, and when the wind blew outside, he shivered a little, and his hands were even colder, so he couldn't help but look up at Zhang Zhe for a while.
But Zhang Zheli seemed to have no intention of turning around and holding her hand.
Jiang Xuening hid in the crowd, bit her lip lightly, and felt that she had never been so timid in her life, and her heart beat violently again.
She quietly reached out and took Zhang Zhe's hand.
Zhang Zhe was shocked at that moment.
When he looked back, he met a pair of watery eyes that could clearly be seen to be calm. The moment he met his eyes, he was a little shy and dodged, but the next moment he looked back confidently, as if This is as it should be in general.
However, those white jade-like earlobes were dyed a rouge-like red.
Zhang Zhe knew that he should let go.
However, at this moment, the palm against his was so cold. He noticed her thin clothes and the faint trembling between her fingers, and a bewitching voice suddenly came out of his heart: This is not Any secret desire to get close to her, you take her out to protect her, this is not selfishness.
So he was bewitched.
Let the soft and slender palm pull, and then slowly tighten his palm, but be careful not to use too much force.
