There was no one on the street, and it seemed that everything was black, except for a lantern around the corner that was emitting a faint light.

Almost without making a sound, the group slipped off the wall, one after the other, and quietly disappeared into the night.

The whole city fell asleep, except for the distant walls that were vaguely outlined in the night sky, and a few torches glowed faintly above the towers, but they could not shine into the alleys of the city.

Gao Huaiyuan took Zhou Hao and a few other agile subordinates, like ghosts through the night, crossed the streets, and went straight to the official office in the south of the city, no one on the road was alarmed, only the two stray dogs seemed to be a little frightened, and after a few barks with their tails between them, they quickly ran away.

When they arrived in an alley outside the official office, a dark shadow jumped out and beckoned to them, and the group turned into the alley without saying a word.

"Is there any movement in there? And do you have everything I want you to prepare? Gao Huaiyuan asked Li Ergou, who answered him in a low voice.

"Young master, don't worry, it's all ready, it's been changed now, and we haven't heard any noise at all, and we haven't alarmed anyone! There are no serious offenders in the prison, so the guards are not strict, which is very conducive to our hands! Li Ergou nodded and replied.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and asked everyone to repeat their task, and then everyone covered their faces with a black cloth, only revealing their two eyes, these people are a little excited at the moment, they are already used to the real knife * going into battle to fight, but such an action, they have only experienced it once when they were in Daye County, when they exterminated Yang Tong and his gang, and now they want to go to the government to rescue their brothers, it can be said that everyone is both excited and a little nervous.

"Remember, try not to alarm anyone, we are here to save people, not to kill people, so you have to be measured, don't make things bigger! Wait a minute, I'll go up first, Zhou Hao will take two people to go in with me, Ergou, you and the rest of the people will scatter around, ready to pick us up! Gao Huaiyuan instructed these subordinates who came over.

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Li Ergou was responsible for taking the remaining few people to pick them up outside.

After arranging these things, when the people who beat the watch walked in front of the official office, Gao Huaiyuan immediately walked out of the alley with Zhou Hao and the other three people, stood in the alley behind the official office, and looked up at the high wall behind the official office, this high wall is about three meters high, and ordinary people can't climb it up without the help of things, but this is difficult for Gao Huaiyuan.

Although he doesn't know how to fly the eaves and walk the wall in the novel, but the light body kung fu should not be underestimated, so many years of weight-bearing training, not in vain, I saw him take a few steps back, took a breath, suddenly started to run, one foot slammed on the high wall, and then the feet alternately stepped on the wall, as if walking on the flat ground, flew up to the high wall, and finally stood on the high wall effortlessly.

If there are young people in later generations who see his movements, they will definitely find that this method adopted by Gao Huaiyuan is very similar to a sport called cool running in later generations, which is to step on the wall, without the help of any external force, relying on the inertia of his own body to push people to a high place, and Gao Huaiyuan is using this method to climb the wall with great ease, which is nothing to him now, but compared to the legendary light skills of jumping on the high wall as soon as he jumps up, it is a little bad! Fortunately, they haven't seen anyone in this world know that kind of kung fu, and there are very few people who can do it to the point of being high!

Looking at Gao Huaiyuan's movements, Zhou Hao and the other two teenagers opened their mouths and let out a slight exclamation: "Wow! The young master is amazing! With such a high wall, I just walked up! ”

"Less nonsense, hurry up, if it's a little later, it's going to be dawn!" Zhou Hao whispered to the two teenagers who were following him, and then walked quickly to the wall, clasping his hands and signaling to the two.

The two teenagers were also very sharp, and immediately ran to accelerate to Zhou Hao, and then stepped on Zhou Hao's hands with one foot, Zhou Hao suddenly used force to lift them up, and a teenager immediately flew up and grabbed the head of the high wall, and turned over and lay on the wall like a raccoon, only making a small movement, and then another teenager also climbed the wall in the same way, and the action was quite neat.

When Zhou Hao was left alone, I saw that he also learned Gao Huaiyuan's movements, reflexively took a few steps back, and then suddenly accelerated, kicking the wall, but unfortunately his leg strength was still a level worse than Gao Huaiyuan, and when he saw that he was about to climb the wall, he began to lean back, but Gao Huaiyuan grabbed his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand, and gently took him with him, and then pulled him onto the wall, and his movements were also very clean and neat, which attracted the secret applause of everyone left behind in the dark shadow.

The four of them went up the wall with little effort, as if the high wall was a fictitious one, and when they leaned down on the wall and listened carefully to the sounds inside the wall, they made sure that there was no abnormal sound inside, and then they disappeared into the wall one by one.

This is the Yamen of the Ezhou Prefect, not the Yamen of the Jingxi Road, so the guards are more lax, and most of the prisoners here are some insignificant prisoners, so there are not many jailers, and no one would have thought that someone would come to rescue a seemingly inconspicuous spy or deserter, which provided great convenience for Gao Huaiyuan and them.

The four of them slipped down the wall quietly, listened carefully, and learned that there were no dogs in the prison, so they breathed a sigh of relief, if there were a few dogs here, then the action would be very troublesome, the vigilance of dogs is not comparable to humans, even if even a master of Gao Huaiyuan's level, he must not be able not to alarm the dog, so Gao Huaiyuan's most feared thing did not happen, which made the four of them breathe a long sigh of relief.

The prefect's prison is a separate courtyard in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and the courtyard in front of it is the courtyard where the servants live, the whole prison is not big, covering an area of several hundred square meters at most, the whole courtyard has four rows of cells, but it is half a floor underground, otherwise it can't be called a dungeon, there is a small window near the ground, for the ventilation of the cell, but how useful it can be, the ghost knows, surrounded by high walls, the cell basically doesn't want to see the sun, even if it's windy, It won't scrape into the cell.

After entering the prison, they had to be more careful, once they alarmed the people of the prefect's yamen here, it was estimated that they would soon attract a lot of officials, and then they would be in trouble.

The four of them crouched under the shadow of a low tree in the corner of the wall, and carefully observed the prison, except for a small door in each row of cells to enter the cells, there was no other door to enter, and a lantern hung in front of each door, emitting a faint light, illuminating the courtyard with ghostly shadows, and looking eerie.

"I don't know which cell Zhao Tong is locked in, let's look for it separately!" After Zhou Hao looked at a few cells, he whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan also had a headache, he didn't find out which cell Zhao Tong was in in the past two days, but the courtyard was full of black holes, presumably the inside of the cell was not much better, even if he was lying on the small window, he couldn't see the situation inside, so he couldn't touch it one by one!

"No, it's easy to alarm the jailers if you do that, let me think about it!" Gao Huaiyuan stopped Zhou Hao, and then began to ponder.

"There it is! The small one is the most familiar with Zhao Tong, and the small one will do some ventriloquism, Zhao Tong usually likes to listen to the small one to learn the calls of various insects and birds, and the small ones try to call a few times, if Zhao Tong is not asleep, it should be able to hear the small voice! A teenager whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked him to try it quickly, the young man put his lips together, and immediately there was a vivid birdsong, and several kinds of birdsong were conjured up one after another, although it was a little abrupt in the night sky, but it was not easy to attract anyone's attention, and finally he also made a few cricket calls, there should be no such thing in this season, so if it is a smart person, it should be able to hear the problem.

Sure enough, a small wooden stick was thrown out of a window in the second cell with a click, and then two toad cries came from the window.

The young man immediately laughed quietly: "I found Zhao Tong!" This kid will learn to crow at a toad, and he must have heard my voice, and he was answering us! ”

After Gao Huaiyuan listened to the movement around him again, there was no abnormal sound, so he took Zhou Hao and a few others to quietly touch the cell where Zhao Tong was, and then reached out and pushed the door, only to find that there was a latch inside, and it couldn't be pushed open from the outside.

"I'm coming!" Zhou Hao pulled out a dagger from the boot of his calf, leaned in front of the door, poked the tip of the knife into the crack of the door, and tried to use the tip of the knife to pull the door latch open.

At this time, suddenly there were a few footsteps inside, and then someone scolded inside: "What the hell, where did the crickets come from at this time!" ”

The four of them were taken aback, and immediately dodged and hid in the darkness on the side, and then they heard the sound of the door latch, and a jailer came out of the cell with his disheveled crotch scratching his pants, glanced around the courtyard with his eyes, and cursed and muttered: "It's so fucking strange, there are birds singing in the middle of the night!" Even toads have ......"

Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked to the high wall, unbuttoned his belt and made a whirring sound, and the jailer was awakened by urine, and after hearing the birds, he came out to get up for the night.

Gao Huaiyuan saw Zhou Hao squeeze the dagger, so he immediately pressed his wrist, and a long tanuki jumped out silently, straight to the back of the jailer, the jailer seemed to feel something, while shaking the guy, he wanted to lift his pants and turn his head to look, but unfortunately he was still not smart enough, Gao Huaiyuan raised his hand and gently cut the palm on the back of his head, this guy didn't even snort, his legs were weak, and he fell.

Before he fell, Gao Huaiyuan held his body again, and immediately dragged him into the dark shadow, Zhou Hao and the three of them reached out to catch the jailer, gently put him on the ground, and wanted to jump into the dungeon.

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed them, and whispered, "Don't worry! Take off his clothes! ”

Zhou Hao and the others immediately understood Gao Huaiyuan's intentions, so they immediately took off the stunned jailer, Gao Huaiyuan casually put the jailer's clothes on his body, buttoned his hat crookedly to his head, and stood in the black shadow, really unable to see his identity.

"The three of you wait, I'll go down and rescue Zhao Tong, there's a jailer inside, don't be careless!" Gao Huaiyuan gave an explanation to the three of them, then turned around and opened the prison door and walked down to the dungeon.

There was really a jailer in the cell, who was lying on the table and snoring and sleeping, and the whole cell exuded a sting*, and it was damp, only a bean-like oil lamp was jumping, and there was a pot of wine on the table, it seemed that the jailer of another prison ran over and secretly drank with the jailer of this cell, and unfortunately Gao Huaiyuan knocked out the door.

The jailer seemed to be half-asleep, and when he heard the door knock, he muttered, "Didn't you go back to where you were?" Why is it back? But he didn't look up as he spoke.

Gao Huaiyuan answered vaguely and walked down the steps, walked to the jailer's side, looked at the prisoners in the cells on both sides, most of them were sleeping soundly, so he used his body to block the view of the prisoners in the cells on both sides, raised his hand and came behind the jailer's ear, and the jailer snorted lightly again, and then fainted.

Gao Huaiyuan then took off a bunch of keys from the wall, swaggered into the prison, looked along the cell, and soon saw Zhao Tong in a prison with a group of people.

Zhao Tong had already realized something, and at this time he struggled to stand at the cell door, trying to look outside, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan walking in front of the cell door, Zhao Tong called out dangerously.

"Shhhhhh......h

"Zhao Tong come out, interrogate ......" Gao Huaiyuan fiddled with the key, and after finding the key to this cell, he opened the copper lock, dragged Zhao Tong out of the prison, and then locked the prison door.

At this time, many prisoners woke up, looked at Zhao Tong who was dragged out with sympathetic eyes, and said in their hearts that this kid is estimated to be unlucky, and the third watch in the middle of the night is dragged out for interrogation, and it is estimated that he will have to suffer again! I guess I can't even save my life!

Gao Huaiyuan didn't look at the prisoners in the same cell, dragged Zhao Tong and walked outside, Zhao Tong couldn't help but moan, there was a noise under his feet, Gao Huaiyuan looked down, only to find that Zhao Tong still had shackles on his feet, the clothes on his body were tattered, and there were blood stains everywhere, so he knew that Zhao Tong had really suffered a lot in the past two days.

So Gao Huaiyuan pulled Zhao Tong to the door, and quickly opened his wooden flail and shackles, just at this time, the jailer in the prison snorted, as if there were signs of waking up, Gao Huaiyuan gave him another palm, and the guy slipped out and lay on the ground, fainting again.

The whole operation was very smooth, when Gao Huaiyuan jumped on the wall, no one found that there was already a person in the prison who had been robbed, Zhou Hao and the other three put the injured Zhao Tong on the high wall, Gao Huaiyuan went down again, and immediately Li Ergou and others ran out, took Zhao Tong down, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

It was as if nothing had happened in the prison, except for a stunned jailer in a corner where no one was paying attention, but now the guy was stripped like a pig.

After a while, Gao Huaiyuan took Zhou Hao and others to slip off the high wall, and the flash people hid in the dark shadows, only to see two people pulling a car with several large barrels, exuding a stinking smell, which made people hide their noses and avoid it.

"It's disgusting! Li Ergou, how did you come up with such a bad idea! Can you hide from people here? Gao Huaiyuan covered his nose and pointed to the cart and asked Li Ergou, it turned out that Li Ergou didn't know where to get a car that and peed, and at a glance, he knew that he was going to use this thing to send Zhao Tong out of the city.

"No problem, there's a bucket in here that's clean! When the city gate is opened, Gong Bucket is the first to go out of the city, and it is safest to use this! Li Ergou replied with experience.

Zhao Tong knelt down in front of Gao Huaiyuan with tears in his eyes, kowtowed to Gao Huaiyuan and said, "The little incompetent, I failed to complete the task smoothly, and I caused trouble to the young master!" Please punish the young master! ”

"This is not the place to talk, hurry up, let Li Ergou send you out of the city, and go back to Daye County immediately!" Remember, you're my man, and I'm not going to leave you alone! Gao Huaiyuan dragged Zhao Tong up and said to him.

The eyes of the people around flashed when they heard this, but no one spoke, looking at Gao Huaiyuan silently, and Li Ergou immediately came over, hugged Zhao Tong, let him get into the car, opened the lid of a large barrel, stuffed Zhao Tong in, and after closing the lid, he personally pulled the cart that transferred the barrel towards the city gate.

With the arrival of the time, the sky has begun to appear fish belly white, Gao Huaiyuan eyes after sending Li Ergou away, with a slight wave of his hand, he took the rest of these teenagers, like ghosts through the streets and alleys, and soon ran back to the inn, and then over the wall, each returned to their respective residences, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as they lay down, they heard the sound of the shopkeeper getting up and opening the door, and then Xiao Er was called up and began to get busy.

When the day was bright, there was a sudden shouting and shouting in the street, and soon soldiers began to bang on the doors of houses that had not yet opened, shouting for a search.

Gao Huaiyuan lay on the bed, stretched lazily, and said with a slight smile: "Li Ergou should have walked far away at this time!" ”

"Papapa......" Someone outside the inn began to bang on the courtyard door.
