Chapter 29: The Prison City (4)

What's even more incredible is that this kind of reasoning can still be accepted by the people in prison.

After listening to Lu Yao's plea, the prisoner was silent for a long time, slowly wading through the water and walking out of the shadows. Every inch of his exposed skin was covered with black-brown mud, but it revealed a sickly white undertone; His clothes were ragged, his beard was unkempt, and his body was even thinner like a reed stick, almost out of human form; The palms of the hands on the wall were as thin as chicken feet, leaving scratches on the moss. If such a picture is seen by ordinary people, they are afraid to ask: "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

But Lu Yaozi will not do this. He stared at the man who staggered out of the prison for a long time, and chuckled bitterly: "Zi Daogong, it's been a long time!" ”

The body of the prisoner shook. From between the scattered hair, you can see his eyes flickering, revealing a vigilant expression: "Since you know me Lu Zidao, Your Excellency should be an old man, I don't know ......."

"This is not the place to talk about it." Lu Yao stretched out his hand to support his arm and helped him come out of the gap in the iron fence: "Zidao Gong knows that at this time, there is a big war outside the world, and there are enemy troops entering Yecheng?" ”

The man in the prison froze his footsteps, and seemed to be stunned: "If it was a year ago, this news might have made the old man ecstatic, but now ......" Lu Yao felt that his arms were trembling slightly, obviously extremely emotional, and he was really a little worried that this person would suddenly faint.

So he interrupted and said: "Zidao Gong Shicai may have also heard it, we are soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who came to Yecheng on business, and we were imprisoned without vain." Now that Yecheng is in turmoil, we really don't want to wait here to die. Su Wenzi Daogong is resourceful and decisive, and he is a well-known strategist in the world...... Even if I'm in prison, I guess there will be a wonderful way to teach me! ”

Lu Yao has always been very polite and held the prisoners very high. He twisted the iron fence first, showing more sincerity: If you are really capable, hurry up now, saving others is saving yourself, don't delay!

The prisoner smiled bitterly: "If there is a chance to get out, who wants to die here without knowing it?" ”

Lu Yao bowed slightly: "This is true. So I, a desperate person, can only pin a glimmer of hope on Zidaogong. “

The man in the prison looked Lu Yao's face up and down in the dim light, sighed, and turned to walk deeper into the corridor. His legs had been soaked in sewage for a long time, and his skin had ulcerated in many places, so he limped and walked very slowly. Lu Yao was not in a hurry, and slowly followed behind him.

This person in prison is indeed Lu Yao's old acquaintance, and in the memories from the future, Lu Yao understands him more clearly. This person's surname is Lu Mingzhi, and he was originally a subordinate of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. The king of Chengdu is one of the most powerful people in the rebellion of the eight kings in the past, once served as the prime minister, the general, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, into the dynasty is not trending, the sword is on the palace, and has been supported as the emperor's younger brother, increasing the fief to 20 counties. Lu Zhi participated in the affairs of the prime minister's government as the secretary of the central government, and was named the Marquis of Wuqiang, with a high and powerful position, and was Sima Ying's cronies and masterminds. The world is decided, and the temple is unscrupulous. In terms of status, it is even above the official worship of the Metropolitan Governor.

When it was time, the king of Chengdu sat in Yecheng to command the world, and there were no obedience. It's a pity that the situation has changed more than everyone imagined, and since Sima Ying took control of the court, she has become more and more extravagant, nepotism, and gradually disappointed the public. Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, and other kings rose one after another, and in the middle of the month, the foundation of the king of Chengdu collapsed. In September last year, when the king of Chengdu and Lu Zhi and other cronies absconded in Hebei and wanted to defect to the old general, they were captured by Feng Song, the Taishou of Dunqiu, and then imprisoned in the underground Yedu prison city.

By December, due to Sima Ying's huge power and potential, it was even more profound. In order not to leave future troubles, Liu Yu, the brother of Yue Shigong, who was then the king of Fanyang, Sima Yu, made people pretend to be a Taiwanese envoy to call the edict, and killed the king of Chengdu who had been a great man for a while, and his second son Sima Pu, the king of Lujiang, and Sima Kuo, the king of Zhongdu, were killed at the same time.

What is not recorded in the history books is that several members of the staff of the King of Chengdu led by Lu Zhi were also detained here. After the death of the king of Chengdu, his cronies and staff seemed to be forgotten in the prison city. Months have passed, and several of these pampered high-ranking officials have died, and now only Lu Zhi is left. This great man and strategist in the past has now ended up as a ghost in prison, and although he did not die, he lost half his life. Shi Cai suddenly spoke up, which really scared Lu Yao and the others.

Lu Zhi held on to the stone wall and slowly moved forward: "This general, His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu has been in Yedu for many years, and he is the hope of the people of Hebei. Although he was imprisoned, there were many people who wanted to rescue him. In December last year, the prison officials and the prison gate chief were paid a lot of money, the former setting up a secret passage to escape while the latter held the key to open the iron fence in his palm. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

He looked up to the sky and sighed, his fists clenched loudly: "It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, it is clear that everything has been arranged, but I didn't expect that the prison gate pavilion chief who was in charge of the key was so timid that he abandoned his post and fled!" Seeing that the way to life was close at hand, it was blocked by an iron fence...... Do you know that when the traitor Liu Yuci died in the family of His Royal Highness the King of Chengdu, I ...... My heart is like a knife, and I hate to treat myself as such! ”

Lu Zhi's expression looked a little crazy, perhaps he had spent too much time in prison without seeing the light of day, and his current mental state could hardly be called normal.

Lu Yao coughed lightly and accentuated his tone: "Zi Daogong, if you have something to say, you can speak slowly, let's get out of here first." ”

He held an oil lamp in his hand to illuminate Lu Zhi. After walking about four or five zhang, I came to the bottom of the entire Yongdao.

Lu Zhi carefully counted in both horizontal and vertical directions, and finally knocked on a rock about half a person high embedded in the middle of the stone wall: "This is it, the back of this rock has been dug up. Pry it open! ”

Half an hour later, the sky grew darker and darker. On the passage between the two death rows in Yedu Prison City, a bluestone slab was suddenly arched. Beneath the bluestone slab was a head as black as charcoal ink, with its eyes looking around alertly.

When he was sure that there were no people on both sides of the road, the black-faced man carefully lifted the bluestone slab and placed it aside, and then jumped out. As he moved, a lot of dirt fell down in a clump before he could recognize that this person was Zhu Sheng. After Zhu Sheng, Lu Yao, Xue Tong and others came out one by one, each of them was disgraced and looked like a group of mysterious groundhogs.

The walls on both sides of the mezzanine are several zhang high, and one side is concave and the other side is convex, so that the mezzanine road is curved and arc. Lu Yao waved his hand again and again, leading everyone to rush forward. Thirty steps away, I went around to the side gate of Yedu Prison City, which was the location of the air windows on both sides of the iron gate of the dungeon.

After all, the air window was narrow, and at this moment, everyone rushed out of the prison to look, only to see dozens of corpses scattered all over the place as far as the eye could see. Some were jailers, some were dressed as Jin soldiers, and a few were not uniformly dressed, but all of them were well-built warriors. The blood on the ground had not yet dried at the moment, and a strong bloody breath came to the nostrils.

And what shocked them even more was the cry of battle that poured into everyone's ears like a frenzy after taking a step out of the middle road!

What held them at the right time was the tightest dungeon in Yedu Prison City. The jailers only said that Lu Yao and the others were felons named and captured by King Xincai, so they were escorted here. The dungeon is isolated from several other prison cells and is located in an extremely remote location. It is two feet deep underground, and the ventilation holes are also deliberately made extremely small, which naturally has a strong sound insulation effect. It was because the people in the prison did not feel anything special except that the ground was shaking.

And when running out of the middle of the road, although there were vague external voices coming in, everyone was excited, not to mention that the sound was mixed with the footsteps of dozens of people rushing, and it was difficult to detect. It was only at this time, after getting out of the high-strength wall between the two compartments, that this huge sound came like an explosion, and it was the sound of Jin Ge on the battlefield that they were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar.

Although the group had been mentally prepared, there was still a sense of shock. Listening to this voice, it can be seen that the entire Yecheng has become a large-scale crazy battlefield!
