Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge
Chapter 149: The Unknown Hero
The news exploded like thunder, making everyone stunned in place.
Bai Xiuchuan's face was pale: "How could it be so sudden, but at this juncture..."
Si Yutong just shook her head and asked, "Which one escaped?"
The soldier replied: "Both of them are gone. The lock of the cell was pried open by a thread. The thread is probably from a shoe."
Qu Ying also asked: "Even if you pick the lock, there are heavy soldiers guarding the door, how can you escape easily? Could it be that the guards are all asleep?"
The soldier's knees were so frightened that he almost knelt down: "My lord, we never neglected our duties. They escaped through a strange secret passage."
Qu Ying was startled: "Secretly?"
The soldier nodded again and again: "Yes, there is an abandoned courtyard outside the south wall, and there is a well in the courtyard..."
Qu Ying was startled, and immediately turned his gaze to Bai Yunfeng, who also looked at him and said, "Didn't that canal be blocked with yellow mud a few years ago?"
Qu Ying said: "Yes, I did it myself when I was building the prison. That road was originally a leak, and it was blocked before it was completed."
The soldier was full of bitterness and had nowhere to pour out, and said: "Young master, we really didn't know. We found out that the person was missing this morning. We turned the yard upside down and saw a road hidden in the well."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and just now his face turned pale from fright, Xiao Rong who had been sitting on the ground suddenly jumped up, and said in a childish voice: "Ah, Zhong Qi, do you still remember that map?"
The girl next to him also showed a look of sudden realization, and said loudly: "Yes! I remembered! In the abandoned courtyard to the south of the prison, Brother Dongqing pointed to the mark on the map and asked where we are."
Bai Yunfeng rushed forward and asked, "Is the map you mentioned still available?"
Zhong Qi raised her head timidly, looked at him and said, "Brother Dongqing left the map on the table in a hurry after he left that day, and I put it in the box. It should still be there."
"Go find it."
"Yes."
Standing on tiptoe, Zhong Qi rummaged around the cabinet for a while, and found a piece of yellowed paper, which she spread out in front of everyone.
Crooked ink blots outline the outline of the market, and a red autumn leaf mark is branded on it like a scar.
The soldier's fingers trembled, he pointed to the marker and said, "That's the direction."
Everyone turned to Di Dongqing.
Si Yutong's voice was also trembling: "Dongqing, have you really been there?"
Di Dongqing's face was still somewhat dazed, like a person who just woke up from sleep, facing the crowd's siege unarmed.
His gaze was as sharp as a sword, mixed with shock, sympathy, puzzlement and questioning, piercing his skin.
Among them, the brightest ones are the eyes of the two children.
The child didn't know much about the current situation, but just opened his eyes wide and brightly, looking at the trusting person, naively expecting his affirmation.
His tongue is nearly tied, he's never learned to lie, and he's not very good at it.
In the eyes of everyone, he nodded and replied: "Yes."
There is a reason why the prison is located in the west of the city.Jiangyu is a vast land with few people, so there are many vacant yards. The west side is backed by mountains and sun, and the geomantic omen is bad. There is especially a lot of unused land. Master Bai simply ordered that this place be converted into a prison to avoid wasting it in vain.Only in this way, the surrounding atmosphere became more gloomy and solemn. Except for the defenders and prisoners, few people approached it, and it was always depressed.
The courtyard wall of the prison is higher than the surrounding ones, and sharp weapons are arranged on the top of the wall, with cold fronts soaring into the sky, each of which is a silent guard, who always promotes the law and warns the world.
In recent years, the world in Jiangyu has been peaceful, and there are fewer and fewer people who are openly fighting and committing crimes. At this time, Nan Yanqi and Lu Zhengqiu are the only two prisoners. Now, they are also going to the prison.
There were several guards on duty, anxious like ants on a hot pot, wandering around in the empty prison until Bai Yunfeng and his party showed up, and then they calmed down, spontaneously lined up in two lines, waiting for reprimand and punishment.
Bai Yunfeng didn't punish them, but hurried to the side of the well, squatted down to observe the scene in the well.
Before the prison was built, there used to be two adjacent courtyards sharing a well, so the culverts at the bottom of the well communicated with each other.It was not until the prison was completed that it was completely blocked by yellow mud.
At this moment, the yellow mud used for sealing was scattered around the mouth of the well, still carrying fresh moisture, so it didn't take much effort to dig it out.
For an adult, digging such a well is really not difficult.
Di Dongqing didn't make any excuses, he really had no excuses to make an excuse.
He couldn't tell who dug the well or why the map appeared in his room.
He couldn't even explain why he sneaked into the prison from this underpass, not to let the prisoners go, but to bid farewell to the Sri Lankan people.
Overcoming all difficulties and violating taboos just for a farewell—who would believe such an excuse.
Therefore, he would rather not speak.If he didn't say anything, others would think that he sneaked into here last night and let the prisoner go, instead of dragging his body tired and sinking into a nightmare.
Ah Jin stared at him blankly: "Brother Dongqing, why do you treat yourself like this..."
Liang Xiao also shook his head and sighed: "Demon, demon."
Qu Ying was still calm, walked quickly to Bai Yunfeng's side, and said, "Master, if the Demon Cult finds out where the Wuxi people are hiding, wouldn't we be one step too late?"
Bai Yunfeng frowned, and muttered: "I understand, we must send troops to save people as soon as possible." Then he turned to his younger brother, "Xiuchuan, can you still lead the troops?"
Bai Xiuchuan nodded and said, "Yes." His gaze unconsciously turned towards Di Dongqing.
Qu Ying immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second Young Master, let me accompany you."
"That's it," Bai Yunfeng replied for him, stood up and turned to the crowd, "Xiu Chuan and Mr. Qu went to rectify the troops, and my elder brother and I rushed back to report to my father. Mr. Liang, please ask the nearby eyeliner two times. Rumors of a fugitive."
"Okay." Liang Xiao responded.
Bai Yunfeng finally turned to Di Dongqing, paused for a moment, and then said: "Di Shaoxia, Miss Ajin, please go back to the hospital and wait."
His words were polite, but his tone was strong and uncompromising.
How could Di Dongqing not hear it.
His eyes couldn't help drifting to the back window of the prison, and he thought of the cold window sills, the cold moonlight, and the only candle in the cold room that night.
Now, the remaining candles have also been extinguished, and the twilight is gone, leaving only a mass of pale ashes.
At some point, Ah Jin had come to his side, tugged on his sleeve lightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dongqing, don't be confused anymore, if you continue to be confused, you will lose everything. Come with me Go back to the infirmary, please..."
The girl looked at him obsessively, eagerly expecting his answer.
He heard himself say: "Okay." But the voice seemed to come from a stranger's mouth, echoing in the deep water, in the faint distance.
Bai Xiuchuan's face was pale: "How could it be so sudden, but at this juncture..."
Si Yutong just shook her head and asked, "Which one escaped?"
The soldier replied: "Both of them are gone. The lock of the cell was pried open by a thread. The thread is probably from a shoe."
