Late at night, in the house of the three princes, in the study, the lights were bright, and several henchmen of the three princes were sitting in the study, including the national teacher.

"Your Royal Highness, Yuan Changkong has been detained in the Tianzi Prison under my jurisdiction, please give me instructions, do you want him to live until the time of the Supervision Division's trial?" a bearded strong man said in a low voice.

The third prince's face was gloomy, he hadn't seen that Yuan Changkong had such great ambitions before. But now that he knows, he can't be kept, after all, it's a stumbling block to try to spy on his dragon seat.

Secondly, Yuan Changkong has been one of the confidants of the Three Princes over the years, and knows a lot of secrets about the Three Princes, of course, these secrets also contain a lot of what the Three Princes have tried to do.

"It must be killed, if Yuan Changkong is allowed to live. That danger is us. The other henchman nodded.

"The Supervision Department has taken care of it, and he will definitely be sentenced to death, but I am afraid that when he is cornered, he chooses to join the Sin Tiger, and now that Wan Yang has lost power, Luo Tian has accepted the canonization this morning, once Yuan Changkong joins the Sin Tiger, it will be difficult for us to kill him." ”

"So, it must be done in my prison, Your Highness. I've got it all arranged, and I'll be able to do it tonight. "The bearded man thinks about competing for merit, and he is very active.

The third prince never spoke, and only then did he speak: "National teacher, what do you think?"

"Killing is definitely going to be killed. But he can't be allowed to die in the royal city. The national teacher said softly.

"What do you mean?" asked the bearded man, stunned.

"He has not yet passed the trial, his identity is still the honorable Zhenxi Hou, this case is staring at hundreds of people, if he dies violently in the prison tonight, then even a three-year-old child knows that there must be a cat in it, if this angers the emperor, you are afraid that the prison officer will not be able to protect his head. The words of the national teacher made the bearded man's heart tighten.

"Yuan Changkong is close to us, which the whole royal city knows, as soon as he dies, it is inevitable that some people will suspect us and say that we are killing people and destroying our mouths, so we can't do this, we have to let him die outside the royal city, in the hands of others. ”

The national teacher seems to have thought of this step in advance.

"Say specific. The third prince said with a gloomy face.

"I have already asked the killers of the Great Yuan Tiancheng Mansion, the two masters of the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, to ambush in the dense forest outside the royal city, and tonight, the warden will secretly arrange it. Let the henchman secretly give the key to the shackles to Yuan Changkong, and inform Yuan Changkong that we have arranged an escape route, and now that he has no master of the six gods, he will definitely listen to us, and after escaping from the royal city, he will enter the dense forest according to the so-called escape route we gave him. And in the dense forest, the two killers can take his life, and when he dies, they will call him absconding in fear of crime, and you are the warden. At most, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, go home and think about it for a few days, and after the wind and waves are calm, you can go back and continue to be an official, and we have also eradicated the hidden danger of Yuan Changkong. ”

The national teacher's plan can be described as detailed and detailed, and everyone nodded after hearing it. The third prince knocked lightly on the table and said, "Then do what the national teacher said, I don't want to see Yuan Changkong appear in the lobby of the Supervision Division." ”

After everyone went out, the national teacher was the last to leave, looked back at the third prince and asked, "I received a very strange piece of information, I heard this morning." When the emperor canonized Luo Tian, he actually asked him to take off his shirt and wanted to see his scars, but I haven't figured out the emperor's intentions. ”

The third prince didn't seem to know, shook his head and said, "What the old emperor thinks in his heart." We can't guess, the top priority now is to kill Yuan Changkong. ”

In Tianzi No. 1 Prison, Yuan Changkong was handcuffed by chains, but because of his noble status, his spiritual sense was not locked. Therefore, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm, it would not be difficult to escape, but he understood that if he escaped like this, he would be tantamount to admitting his guilt, and he still wanted to make a final defense.

At that moment, a jailer staggered over and suddenly threw a key and a note in.

Yuan Changkong was stunned, picked up the note, and didn't know the note, but the tone between the lines should be that of the national teacher.

"Escape, someone will arrange for you to leave the Yunshan Kingdom, and after a year, when the new emperor ascends the throne, you will be honored again. ”

These words were said very rigorously, neither mentioning the three princes nor making a payment, but they made Yuan Changkong moved.

Hasn't the third prince given up on himself yet?

After all, he is a usable talent, and it would be a pity to give up, and the third prince will ascend the throne a year later, and he will come back. can also be reused by the new emperor, and he can start from scratch, and he can get back everything he lost, as long as he hides outside for a year.

But if you don't run away today, you will go to the lobby of the Supervision Department tomorrow. It can be said that he will definitely die, and he will not choose to go to the Sin Tiger, because he is unwilling to do things under Luo Tian.

"Since God has given me this opportunity, then I will follow God's wishes. ”

Thinking of this, he immediately opened the shackles with the key. Then he walked out.

With his cultivation, he escaped from the prison after killing a few guards along the way, and when he arrived outside the prison, he saw someone in the dark alley opposite shaking a candle and signaling him to go over.

By the time he got closer, there was no one left. But in the alley there is a horse on a leash, as well as some dry rations and silver tickets, and at the same time, there is a road map for escape.

He immediately turned on his horse and, following the route map, escaped through the loosely guarded gates of the royal city.

And after he left the royal city, the prison had already discovered Yuan Changkong's escape, and immediately sounded the alarm, and the whole city was under martial law.

At this time, Luo Tian was sitting in the inn, preparing to return to the Sin Tiger on the road the next day.

Unexpectedly, he heard the siren, and immediately walked out of the room. He saw Lorraine coming towards him.

"What's wrong?" asked Luo Tian.

"I just received news that Yuan Changkong has escaped from prison, and now the whole city is under martial law. Lorraine replied.

Luo Tian was stunned, Yuan Changkong, isn't this just absconding in fear of crime? But he doesn't look like such a person, according to Luo Tian's understanding of him, he should still make a final defense in the lobby of the Supervision Department tomorrow, even if he wants to escape, it should be after the conviction of the Supervision Division, why did he choose before the conviction?

"I think someone secretly helped him escape, probably the third prince. Lorraine guessed accurately.

Luo Tian thought for a while and shook his head and said: "The third prince may not be to help Yuan Changkong escape, but to kill him, after all, Yuan Changkong knows a lot of his secrets, and it is a scourge to keep them, and if Yuan Changkong chooses to save his life and join the Sin Tiger, it is likely that a lot of information about the three princes will flow into the hands of our Luo family." This is the last thing the Three Princes want to see, by the way, I heard that the warden of the Wangcheng Prison is a member of the Three Princes. ”

"yes, what should we do then?" asked Lorraine.

Luo Tian thought for a moment and said: "Out of the city, we have to save Yuan Changkong, he must have run outside the city, and the killer of the third prince must also be outside the city." ”

"But if Yuan Changkong dies by our side, I'm afraid we will be implicated. Lorraine hesitated and asked.

"Then it is even more necessary to save him, according to the consistent practice of the three princes and the national teacher, they will definitely leave some so-called evidence at the scene after killing Yuan Changkong, which will point the finger at our Luo family, in order to avoid these troubles, we must save Yuan Changkong, brother, let's go quickly." ”

Present. So the brothers dressed themselves and took their treasures, got on their horses, and ran out of the city.

But now that the whole city is under martial law, even the two of them can't leave the city casually.

"Damn, we can't get out either. "I tried several gates, Lorraine scolded.

Luo Tian thought about it and said: "There is another way, I will go to Ji Yuan for help, there is a prince to open the way, it should be able to ensure that we leave here." ”

This method was used by Ji Yueling last time, and this time it was concocted in the same way. Luo Tian found Ji Yuan to take the prince's token, and directly ordered the general defending the city to open the door, and then ran all the way out of the city.

In the middle of the night, it was already past hour, and it was pitch black outside the city gates.

At this time, Yuan Changkong, who fled according to the route map, had already arrived at the meeting place, and he was a little frightened, because he could still hear the piercing sirens in the royal city behind him, and he looked around, and finally saw a fire in the dense forest in front of him beating slightly, and his face showed a hint of joy.

But what he didn't know was that the light of the fire represented death.

Urging the horse into the dense forest, the fire was extinguished in the darkness, and two figures slowly walked out.
