Chapter 57: Prison Break (4,000 words)
It's dark.
A bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining.
This is by no means a good weather for killing people and setting fires, and walking on the streets of Chang'an City, you can hardly find a place to hide.
Su Dawei and Di Renjie came to the side gate of Chang'an Prison before the Sitong drum sounded.
Moonlight, sprinkled in the alley.
Su Dawei and Di Renjie almost stood against the wall, a little nervous in their hearts.
Knock knock!
When the fourth street drum ended, the street outside fell silent.
A moment later, several Wuhou walked past the alley with lanterns in hand, and looked into the alley twice, but found nothing.
Di Renjie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.
This feels really bad!
However, there seems to be no other choice, neither Su Dawei nor he can watch the mage die, only the soldiers are in danger.
"That Miss Su, is it reliable?"
"Your own family!"
"It's just the same surname, and I haven't been in contact with it."
"It should be reliable." Di Renjie said: "Otherwise, people wouldn't have taken the risk last time and took me in, right?" β
"That's also the eldest brother who was born pretty."
"Ami, do you believe that I will draw my sword and fight with you now?"
Su Dawei sneered, but immediately covered his mouth and turned his head.
Di Renjie looked at him helplessly, and had the intention to beat him, but when he thought of his alien identity, he could only hold back.
"Ami, believe it or not, if you weren't an alien, I would definitely fight with you."
"I believe it."
"Humph!"
The small door on the side suddenly creaked open.
"Di Jun?"
"In!"
Di Renjie hurriedly stepped forward and said to the people in the door: "Xiaorong, why are you here now." β
"Just now, someone from the Inner Servant Province came, and my girl had to accompany her before sending them away."
Xiao Rong is the maidservant next to Su Qingfang and Su Qingfang's cronies.
She opened the door and beckoned Di Renjie to come in. But when she saw Su Dawei, she was stunned for a moment and stopped Di Renjie.
"My own people, the girl can rest assured."
Xiao Rong glanced at Su Dawei, and Su Dawei smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
The little girl, for no reason, trembled in her heart, and her face turned red.
"If you can trust it, don't go wrong."
"Don't worry."
As he spoke, Di Renjie turned his head and glanced at Su Dawei.
It's also this kid who is pretty, if it was Hongliang, it is estimated that the little girl will not be so easy to talk, and she is shy.
The two followed Xiao Rong along the winding path and soon came to the women's prison.
Su Qingfang was waiting outside the women's prison, and when she saw the two of them, she didn't bother, and took them directly into the prison.
The female guard on duty at the door did not stop her, as if she did not see Su Dawei and the two of them. Presumably, these people are all Su Qingfang's subordinates. Su Dawei also had a little more doubts and speculations about Su Qingfang's identity.
"Don't guess, the daughter of the Left Guard General."
"Who will be the left guard Zhonglang?"
"It's Pei Jun's mentor, Su Dingfang Su Zhonglang."
Su Dingfang?
Su Dawei couldn't help but look at Su Qingfang, who was walking in front.
He knew Su Dingfang, who was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, and at the same time Li Jing's protΓ©gΓ©, known as another god of war after Li Jing. He was originally a subordinate of Dou Jiande, the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and later defected to Liu Heimin.
After Liu Heimin's death, Su Dingfang returned to his hometown.
But soon, he was requisitioned by the imperial court and joined the Tang Army as a folded chong, becoming Li Jing's subordinate.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, he exterminated the Eastern Turks with Li Jing and awarded the title of Zuowei Zhonglang General, which was valued by Li Jing and had a lot of prestige in the court.
However, Su Dawei knew that Su Dingfang's most prosperous time had not yet come.
He couldn't remember exactly what year Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks. It was precisely because of that battle that Su Dingfang broke the formation with 500 people and made great achievements, and also became another god of war in the Tang Empire after Li Jing, and stood in the court for many years.
It's a pity that in later generations, Su Dingfang appeared as a villain, so that many people didn't know his prestige.
When it comes to the early Tang Dynasty, people think more of Li Jing, Li Tao, Cheng Yanjin and others.
However, Su Dingfang's great exploits have been drowned in the long river of history......
This is the daughter of a famous general.
But how did she enter the Inner Servant Province and do the rituals?
Su Dawei was very puzzled in his heart.
"Go ahead, the mage is inside."
The whole women's prison was empty, and walking in it was a little creepy.
Di Renjie and Su Dawei glanced at each other, arched their hands towards Su Qingfang, and walked over.
The sound of footsteps alarmed the Mingkong mage who was meditating.
When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Su Dawei and the two of them standing at the door, unlocking the cell door.
"Ami, why are you here?"
She didn't pay attention to Di Renjie, but stared at Su Dawei.
Su Dawei opened the prison door, walked into the cell, and waved towards Mingkong: "Master, I'm here to rescue you." β
"I'm not saying it, I'm not going to leave here."
As he spoke, Mingkong looked at Di Renjie, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Su Dawei said: "Mage, don't blame the eldest brother, what do you mean, the eldest brother has already told me." But I can't sit idly by and watch you die. My mother thought so too, and she agreed with me and asked the mage to come with me. β
"I'm not leaving!"
Mingkong stubbornly shook his head and said, "I'm leaving, many people will be unlucky." β
"But if you die, someone will be unlucky."
"What do you mean?"
Di Renjie spoke behind Su Dawei and said, "Master, I know you don't want to affect everyone, but the current situation is not as simple as you think. You're just an introduction...... Mage, the current situation is that if you live, then the other party will not be reconciled and will take action. As long as they act, there will be flaws, and then we will be able to find evidence that you are not a murderer; But if you die, you'll have their wish fulfilled. At that point, even if we want to prove your innocence, we don't know how to proceed. β
"Yes, mage."
Su Dawei said: "People have died a hundred, and as soon as you die, you will fall into the arms of the murderer."
Think, why did they put you to death? It must be because you found something, right? Maybe you don't know it yourself, but they think you know, so they will kill you and frame you at all costs.
Mage, you must live.
As long as you live, you have a chance to turn the tables around.
If you die, who cares about the truth? β
The words of Su Dawei and the enemy caused Mingkong to think deeply.
"But if I run away, won't it hurt you......"
"Master, I have sent my mother to Kunming Pond and is protected by the Duke of Danyang County.
And Taiyuan is thousands of miles away, even if the imperial court wants to pursue it, it will take some time. So, we still have a chance. Let's get out of here now, and we still have a chance to find out the real culprit and prove your innocence. But if you die, it's all over! β
The clear sky seemed to be shaken.
Ants still steal life, let alone people?
The reason why Ming Kong refused to leave before was more because he didn't want to affect others.
However, after listening to Su Dawei's persuasion, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
If she lives, she still has a chance to turn the tables; If she died, even if Su Da found evidence for them, who would care?
"So, what are you going to do?"
Hearing Mingkong ask, Su Dawei and Di Renjie both breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid of surviving in the open sky, I'm afraid that she is bent on death.
The two glanced at each other, and Di Renjie stepped forward and said, "Last time I was attacked by a ghost, it means that the other party has noticed it. After we get you away, the killer will definitely react, and then we will have a chance to fight back. β
"What about Miss Su?"
Di Renjie was stunned when he heard this.
Before he could speak, he heard Su Qingfang's voice coming from outside the prison door, "Mage doesn't have to worry about me, I have my own way to get out." β
Di Renjie turned around and looked at Su Qingfang.
He really ignored this matter before, and only thought about saving Mingkong, but forgot how to deal with the aftermath on Su Qingfang's side. After all, Su Qingfang was helping him...... In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and looking at Su Qingfang's gaze, there were also some changes.
That gaze seemed to ask Su Qingfang: What are you going to do?
Su Qingfang smiled at him and said to Ming Kong: "Don't worry, martial artists, I have my own way to deal with it." β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
After speaking, Su Qingfang waved her hand and smiled and took a set of clothes.
"But martial arts talent, you can't dress up like this, it's too conspicuous."
In Xiaorong's hand, there is a public uniform.
Su Qingfang's meaning was very clear, and motioned for Mingkong to change his clothes and leave.
"You two, you can avoid suspicion."
Su Dawei suddenly realized, hurriedly thanked him, and pulled Di Renjie to walk out.
"Miss Su, you ...... like this"
"Don't say anything about whether it's worth it or not, don't forget the martial arts, how you took care of me when I was imprisoned by the Taishi Bureau.
Besides, they have tried their best to help you, even at the cost of losing their future, and I should help you. β
Mingkong smiled.
She was not verbose, in front of Su Qingfang and Xiaorong, she took off her robe and changed into a public uniform.
"Martial arts people, it's not safe to go out, there may be more dangers.
I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore, so you have to take care. Di Jun is a steady person, and I believe that he will be able to help you find the real culprit. β
Mingkong nodded, and followed Xiao Rong out of the prison door.
Not to mention, when she changes clothes, she really has a bit of the temperament of a man with eyebrows.
Su Dawei and Di Renjie glanced at each other and nodded, and then Su Dawei walked out with Mingkong, while Di Renjie looked at Su Qingfang, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Su Qingfang smiled at him and waved his hand to signal him to hurry up.
Di Renjie waved his hand and hurriedly chased out.
A moment later, Xiao Rong returned.
Su Qingfang said: "Have you already sent it away?" β
"According to the girl's orders, it has been sent out."
Xiao Rong hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Girl, why do we need to help so much? β
"Although I don't know the reason for the teacher's instructions, I believe that they have a deep meaning."
Xiao Rong heard this and nodded.
"Then ...... next"
"Tell everyone, let's act."
"Yes."
Xiao Rong left in a hurry, while Su Qingfang stood at the door of the cell.
She turned around, glanced at the cell, and waved down an oil lamp at the door.
The lamp oil flowed and soon burned.
Su Qingfang pulled out a dagger from her waist, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, raised her hand and stabbed her abdomen.
Coming out of Chang'an Prison, Su Dawei and Di Renjie went one after the other, protecting Mingkong in the middle.
The three of them walked out of the alley, and after glancing outside, Su Dawei waved his hand, and Di Renjie immediately ran out of the alley with Mingkong, crossed the street diagonally, and disappeared into the alley opposite. Su Dawei glanced at the entrance of the alley twice, and then ran over.
The three of them came out of the alley and came to the wall.
Suddenly, the direction of Chang'an Prison was full of people, and the flames were soaring.
Faintly heard, someone was shouting: Someone robbed the prison, someone robbed the prison!
Immediately after, a hurried gong sounded.
Mingkong was stunned and gasped.
She glanced at Su Dawei and Di Renjie, and saw that Di Renjie didn't say a word, and jumped onto the wall. He straddled the wall, bent down and stretched out his hand, and said hurriedly: "Mage, there is no turning back from the bow, let's hurry up." β
Ming Kong gritted his teeth and grabbed Di Renjie's hand.
Su Dawei squatted down and said, "Master, step on my shoulder." β
Mingkong stepped on Su Dawei's shoulder, and Di Renjie on the wall used his hand hard, and suddenly dragged her to the wall.
Immediately after, Di Renjie jumped out on the wall of the fang, crossed the ditch, and jumped onto the street.
"What should I do?"
Before Mingkong finished speaking, Su Dawei had already gone to the wall.
He didn't say a word, and hugged Mingkong, "Mage, close your eyes." β
Mingkong instinctively closed his eyes, and immediately followed it as if it was flying up like a cloud.
Her body trembled, and when she opened her eyes again, Su Dawei had already jumped onto the street with her in her arms.
In the distance, there was a flickering fire.
Su Dawei glanced at it and grabbed Mingkong's hand, "Master, follow me." β
He pulled Mingkong and ran away, and Di Renjie followed closely behind the two. At the crossroads, I saw another group of fires rapidly approaching from a distance. He didn't dare to stop, so he rushed across the cross street with a clear sky, and in the blink of an eye he was on a bridge.
"There seems to be someone up ahead!"
Mingkong suddenly shouted.
Su Dawei also saw it, just in front of him, and the firelight was beating.
"Get into the water."
"Huh?"
"Let's float down the canal."
Su Dawei said, turned his head to Di Renjie and said, "Big brother, can you go into the water?" β
Di Renjie said: "Outside Taiyuan City is Fenshui, I can swim two times back and forth in Fenshui." β
"That's good, you have to follow."
Su Dawei said, pulled Mingkong and got off the bridge, took three steps and made two steps to the bottom of the bridge, and jumped into the canal.
"The water is a little rushed, be careful."
"Got it!"
Mingkong also went into the water.
However, the current is really fast, and it is also very deep.
If it weren't for Su Dawei's help, maybe she would have been flooded.
Su Dawei stepped forward, hugged Mingkong's slender waist, and said, "Master, take a deep breath, let's dive." β
Mingkong nodded vigorously and took a deep breath.
Su Dawei put his arms around her and plunged into the water.
Behind him, Di Renjie also followed closely and dived into the water.
On the bridge, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps and a command.
Jin Wuwei has arrived!
The entire Chang'an County also seems to be boiling......
