Chapter 1019: Empty Cell
Night fell quietly, and the city of Luoyang was immersed in a quiet darkness.
In the corner of the bustling city of Luoyang, the prison stands alone in a relatively depressed area.
On the gate of the prison, two soldiers of the Qin army stood in the tower.
At the four corners of the tower, there are several torches, and the flames on the torches reflect the light of the tower.
Two soldiers of the Qin army standing on the tower, one facing outward, looking at the scene on the street, and the other facing inside the prison, looking at the courtyard of Nuoda on the inside of the prison.
In a cell in the prison, the unkempt Guan Yu sat on a straw mat dejectedly.
Fighting for Cao Cao, he killed Guan Hai, and Guan Hai was the brother-in-law of Liu Wei, the king of Qin, and Guan Yu, who knew this relationship well, had no hope of survival.
Just when Guan Yu was sitting in the prison with a depressed face, the door of the prison was gently pushed open from the outside.
A figure flashed in from the outside the moment the cell door opened, and the figure that entered the prison touched the outside of Guan Yu's cell, and whispered: "Is Guan Yunchang inside?" ”
Hearing someone call him, Guan Yu raised his head and looked out of the wooden fence.
In front of him was a thin man in his thirties, with a long sword behind his back, his face was pale, and he looked as if he had been sick for a long time.
Seeing Guan Yu raise his head, the man standing outside whispered to him, "Do you want to leave here?" ”
didn't know the identity of the other party, Guan Yu didn't dare to respond immediately, just stared at the person standing outside the cell, and didn't say anything.
"I'll take you away!" Guan Yu raised his head, and the person outside the cell took out the key to the cell from his arms, and said to Guan Yu while opening the cell: "It's just that you have to promise something, otherwise, even if you go out, someone will take your head one day." ”
The person who came looked like a sick man, Guan Yu was very indifferent to him, he didn't believe that he had a way to escape from the prison with him, he snorted coldly, and said to the visitor: "Why don't you tell the truth, who are you sending to deceive Yu?" ”
Deception?
The man who was opening the prison door raised his head, grinned at Guan Yu, and whispered: "I have no name and never deceive anyone, if you don't want to leave, then so-and-so will leave!" ”
The other party reported his name and surname, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, then stood up suddenly, strode to the fence, grabbed the fence with both hands, and asked Nameless: "Your Excellency is a swordsman nameless?" ”
"Exactly!" opened the door of the cell, stared at Guan Yu namelessly and said to him: "The guards outside, X has all been cleared for you, if you believe in X, you will come with X!" ”
Nameless has always been a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, and he also acts with a lot of arbitrariness, not doing things for any heroic man at all, if it is really nameless, he saves Guan Yu, there is no need for a reason at all.
If you stay in the prison, sooner or later you will be killed by the King of Qin, and if you leave here, you may really have a glimmer of life, no matter how bad it is, you will only be stopped by the Qin army and killed on the spot.
After briefly calculating the pros and cons in his heart, Guan Yu did not hesitate any longer, followed Nameless, and left the cell.
As the same nameless said, the Qin army guarding the prison didn't know how he used to knock them out, and when he walked out of the prison, Guan Yu didn't even see half of the Qin army.
"What do you want to promise?" As soon as he walked out of the cell, Guan Yu stopped and asked Nameless.
"Don't be an enemy of King Qin in the future!" Turning his head, he looked at Guan Yu, and said coldly: "I saved you only because you were loyal, but if you are an enemy of King Qin again, I will definitely kill you!" ”
For some reason, Nameless said such a sentence, which made Guan Yu shiver with excitement all over his body.
Looking at Nameless, Guan Yu hesitated and said, "But if King Qin wants to kill someone in the future, what should he do?" ”
"Then let King Qin kill it!" Without thinking about it at all, he stared at Guan Yu namelessly, and said in a cold tone: "Let you go today, just thinking about your loyalty, I can't bear to kill King Qin because of you, and be abandoned by the loyal people in the world, as for you to be an enemy of King Qin in the future, I will definitely kill you!" ”
"I don't say anything for any hero, but now it seems that this is not the case!" Smiling slightly, Guan Yu's originally narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed, and there was a slight ridicule in his words.
Staring at Guan Yu, a touch of murderous intent flashed on the nameless face in an instant.
Guan Yu, who was stared at by Nameless and had just made a mockery of him, only felt a cold chill rise up on his back spine, and hurriedly turned his face to the side, no longer looking at Nameless.
"Get out of here, and when the sky is light, the gates will open, and you can get out of the city at that time!" Guan Yu turned his face to the side, and said to him in a cold tone.
"Thank you!" Clenching his fists and arching towards Nameless, Guan Yu strode towards the outside of the prison.
The night passed quietly, and as the morning sun spread over Luoyang City, a Qin soldier on the prison tower climbed up from the wooden tower floor.
He held his head in his hands, trying to remember why he had suddenly passed out.
Just as he shook his head, he suddenly saw that his companion was still asleep beside him.
"Wake up, wake up!" He shook his companion a few times, and when he woke up, he asked his companion, "How did we fall asleep while we were on duty on the tower?" ”
"Someone sneaked up last night!" Qin Jun, who had just woken up, sat up, and when he saw his companion, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a panicked face: "I saw him slash your neck with the palm of his hand, and when he wanted to make a warning, he also chopped me over ......"
"Oh no! Guan Yu ran away! As soon as the two of them remembered that they had been attacked last night, a terrible cry came from inside the prison.
When the man's shout fell, all the Qin soldiers guarding the prison ran towards the cell where Guan Yu was being held.
All of them, without exception, had passed out the night before.
Most of them didn't know why they suddenly fell unconscious, and only a few saw someone do something to them, but no one could see who was doing it.
Running to the cell where Guan Yu was being held, all the Qin soldiers were stunned, looking at the empty prison, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.
About half an hour later, Liu Wei, who learned that Guan Yu had escaped, came to the prison surrounded by Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and a group of guards.
Liu Weitie's face was blue, and when he entered the prison, all the Qin soldiers guarding the prison stood straight one by one, with their heads lowered to their chests.
Ignoring these Qin soldiers standing in the courtyard, Liu Wei stepped into the cell.
The cell where Guan Yu was originally held had been emptied, and the big iron chain that locked the cell door was also thrown on the ground very casually.
Walking to the chain, Liu Wei squatted down, picked up the lock hanging on the chain, and looked at it carefully.
"The lock was not damaged, and it was clear that the man who came calmly opened the cell door!" After checking for a moment, Liu Wei stood up and ordered one of the guards behind him: "Call the officer who was on duty last night!" ”
"No!" One of the guards answered, turned and left the cell.
It didn't take long for the officer on duty the night before to be taken into his cell by the guards.
Because he lost the prisoner in his hands, when Liu Wei first came here, the officer was already full of panic, and when he heard Liu Wei call him, he was already scared and lost two souls, and when he arrived next to Liu Wei, he was still trembling.
Turning his head to look at the officer, Liu Wei frowned tightly and asked him, "What happened last night?" ”
"Your Highness, I don't know!" Bowing down, the officer's lips trembled and said to Liu Wei: "Everyone who was guarding the cell was all knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, Guan Yu had already escaped!" ”
"Go to all the places where there were soldiers last night!" The officer's words made Liu Wei also feel a little unbelievable, in the entire prison, there were 100 well-trained Qin soldiers, if someone came to kill all these Qin soldiers, Liu Wei would not feel any surprise, but everyone was knocked unconscious, which really made Liu Wei feel very puzzled.
If it wasn't that the people who came were too strong, it was these Qin troops guarding the prison who were secretly instructed by someone to let Guan Yu go.
Wang Liu led a group of palace guards out of the cell and went everywhere to check all the locations of the soldiers in the prison last night.
It was just a stick of incense, Wang Liu turned back, went to Liu Wei's side, attached it to his ear, and whispered something.
"How could it be him?" After listening to Wang Liu's words, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, frowned tightly, and muttered something to himself.
Standing beside Liu Wei, Wang Liu didn't say a word, and when she found out about the mark left by the person who let Guan Yu go last night, she was also a pang of wonder in her heart.
Nameless gave up assassinating Liu Wei that day, but last night he let Guan Yu, who was against Liu Wei, go, which really made Wang Liu very puzzled in his heart.
didn't say a word, Wang Liu stood beside Liu Bian, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Liu Bian without blinking.
Nameless is back in Luoyang!
Looking at the empty prison, Liu Wei frowned, but he did not order the Qin army to conduct a thorough search of the entire Luoyang.
Liu Wei did not believe that Nameless, who had every chance to assassinate him but gave up halfway, would turn back to Luoyang in order to be unfavorable to him.
Let go of Guan Yu, Nameless must have a reason that Liu Wei will not be able to figure out for a while.
Since people are nameless, I am afraid that even if a large army is sent to chase them, they will not be able to catch up.
Standing outside the empty cell, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long time, he said to Wang Liu and the others behind him: "Return to the palace, gather everyone, and discuss the use of troops against Cao Cao!" ”
"No!" Knowing in his heart that Liu Wei was unwilling to pursue Guan Yu's release, Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and a group of guards responded in unison and followed him out of the prison.
Until Liu Wei left, he did not hold the Qin soldiers who were guarding the prison responsible, and it was not until he left that these Qin soldiers wiped their cold sweats one by one.
They didn't know that what really made Liu Wei give up the pursuit was not Liu Bian's generosity, but that he knew that the person who started it was nameless!
