the enlightener says

After Zhang Mingqi passed away, he became more and more worried about the people around him, and since Gao Changgong suddenly became a rebel, he could already feel that there was an unstoppable tide in Jingwu. If possible, he didn't want any friends die.

The arrest operation lasted for seven days, the chaos spread to the whole Jianye, and the whole Jingwu Chaotang was even more turbulent. It's not that the prison is unattended, it's just that after hearing the sound of torture and wailing from that room in the prison, many people immediately peed their pants in fright.

The family members came to cry in front of the school office every day, but the hard-hearted guards of the school office still just guarded the gate quietly, preventing any outsiders from entering.

And until the evening of this day, in the court room of the school affairs mansion, Zhou Gongjin carefully read a case file newly written by Qin Ke, and suddenly let out a soft breath, facing Shen Dao who had been sitting quietly. Said: "It seems that the time has come, we can start tonight."

Hearing these words, Shen Dao suddenly opened his eyes, and the deep black eyes were filled with light as sharp as a sharp blade.

No one knows what's going on in their minds.

But in the darkness, several carriages full of goods were already approaching the gate of Jianye City under the watchful eyes of the crow.

The truck is very big, and the other party has a lot of goods, so it is heavy, if it is driven on the muddy ground, it will definitely make a deep mark.

The guard at the city gate noticed this team, and immediately shouted: "Stop! What are you doing?"

Although the laws and regulations of Jianye have not been strict in recent years, and no curfew has been imposed, these days, as the affairs of the school office have gradually expanded, the control of the city gate has become more and more strict. Almost no one can get in or out.

7 Chapter Forty Ambush

Obviously this team is not ignorant of the current situation. When they heard a shout to stop, everyone stopped the carriage and parked the goods at the gate of the city. They moved skillfully and showed no signs of panic.

The leader is a muscular middle-aged man, perhaps because he is afraid of the heat, he bares his two strong arms and looks powerful.

Although the night was dark, the moment he jumped off the carriage, he recognized that the soldier was wearing the armor of a city gate marquis, and immediately saluted respectfully: "My lord, we are delivering meat to the military camp. Once a month."

"Do you have documents?" Hearing these words, the Marquis of the City Gate approached the front with a spear in one hand, and at the same time, several city gate soldiers followed closely behind, sizing up and down the entire team with censorship-style eyes.

"This is a document." The middle-aged man carefully took out a roll of bamboo slips wrapped in sheepskin from his arms, and handed it to the soldier with both hands. At the same time, he smiled at the soldiers who were checking the goods, " It's really hard for you adults, you have to guard the door at night."

"You are Han Zhong?" Chengmen Hou browsed through the documents briefly, confirmed the last mark, let go of his vigilance and laughed at the same time: "Who says it's not, especially these days when the control is strict, there are three dials People are on duty in turn, and they can't even take a nap at night. But judging from the date on the paperwork, how many days are you sending the meat early?"

As he said that, he also took a few steps forward, and shouted at the soldiers: "Look carefully, and let them pass if there is no problem."

As Han Zhong said, the carts are loaded with meat, some are wrapped in lotus leaves, and some are packed in barrels wrapped in sauce, and you can smell a tempting aroma just by opening them.

The two inspecting soldiers went all the way, and they didn't do any bad things like stealing sheep. They just picked some off and tasted them, and finally pinched their fingers to continue checking.

Han Zhong also knew how to be a man, and smiled at the few people just right: "It happens that the younger one has some pork knuckles, and the military men can take some to eat later, and it's good to satisfy their hunger."

"That would be great." The Marquis of the City Gate was not in a hurry to follow along, but it didn't mean he was not interested in these things. He is the one who is really in power. Compared with those big shots sitting indoors and resting, he is just a hard worker.

He put the spear on his shoulder and asked casually, "By the way, didn't you go to the Chaozong gate in the east to go to the military camp? Why did you go through our gate today?"

"I used to go to the Zongmen, but after I changed the city gate from there, the new Mr. Rong is really not easy to talk about." Speaking of this, Han Zhong showed a bit of bitterness on his face, "He insisted Now Jingwu is under martial law, you are not allowed to go out of the city at night, even if you give him a document, we have no choice but to go this way."

"Changed to Rong? I don't know about it." Chengmenhou smiled, and teased again, "But it's just cheap and we got all this money for nothing, right? It's just that Boss Han is suffering a little bit, It will take half an hour longer to take a detour to the barracks through our gate."

No one noticed that Han Zhong's fist in the shadows suddenly clenched.

But then, he sighed again, and said helplessly: "This is something that can't be helped, tell me, this is what we eat, if we really don't give it away, the army won't blame us for our suffering? "

Soon, the two soldiers who inspected the goods also came back, nodded, probably indicating that nothing unusual was found in the car, then the city gate lord nodded, turned back and shouted at the top of the city: "Let's go!" .”

"Thank you, Mr. Jun!" Han Zhong was overjoyed, and immediately asked the people below to bring some elbows, and even a jar of wine, and handed them all together.

The Marquis of the City Gate naturally accepted those things with a smile, and waved his hand to let them pass, but after waiting for a while, the city gate never opened, and the darkness in the city cave was still there, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Damn, these bastards, I have to throw them into the moat to wake up." Jingwu's several city gates are connected to the gates of the city. The people at the top of the city had to help. Since there was no movement at the gate, it was obvious that the people at the top of the city were lazy and fell asleep.

"You guys wait here, I'll go up for a while." As he said that, the City Gate Marquis led a few people towards the city wall, and his back was also covered by darkness.

Without the human voice, the gate of the city suddenly became silent, not even the voice of the grasshopper could be heard, only the waning moon in the sky was quietly looking down at it with eyes squinted because of sleepiness. them.

Han Zhong waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the Marquis of the City Gate coming back. Standing in the darkness for a while, he felt the beating of his heart getting faster and faster.

He didn't know why he was so nervous, maybe the gatekeeper went upstairs to teach those lazy soldiers a lesson, or maybe there was something wrong with the machine and it was being repaired?

But years of experience in surviving blood and fire made him no longer wait blindly, but whispered to the crowd: "Weapons."

No one answered, but with the sound of clanking metal being unsheathed, dozens of people accompanying them had already drawn their weapons from the pile of meat, and a piece of sword-like light burst out under the moonlight.

But before Han Zhong led his men to kill the city tower, there were already countless gunshots on the top of the city, the city gate was still closed, and the crossbow had already been wound!

The flames suddenly flourished, and the lit torches and braziers were like suns, with a compelling light, as if to illuminate all of them so that they could not open their eyes.

On the top of the wall was the face of the Marquis of the City Gate, but at this moment he was no longer as friendly as before, his squinted eyes were filled with coldness.

"Master Zhou's plan to startle the snake has worked, and all these things hidden under the water have come out." Chengmen Hou, Huang Yao said.

Standing beside him was Qin Ke who had been watching from the top of the city tower. From the very beginning, he restrained all his breath, but his eyes never deviated from the bottom.

His identity is no longer a secret in Jianye City, and too many people have even seen his face, so naturally it is impossible for him to pretend to be a city gate soldier.

But what he did tonight was not for any tricks, the Bodhisattva sword had already revealed its sharpness in his hands, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to go down and drink human blood.

"It's just that I don't know if the other places can guarantee that there will be no problems." Qin Ke's expression was somewhat melancholy.

Huang Yao was much more confident than him, and said with a hearty smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou has no plans to spare. Then there are not only experts from the school office, but also Lei Jun who are arranged in the other places. Although those old soldiers look The body has been injured, but I dare say that even an enemy ten times their size may not be able to break through."

Qin Ke nodded, recalling the demeanor of the old soldiers he saw when he first came to Jianye, he knew that Huang Yao was not blindly arrogant.

These old soldiers have all come down from the cruelest battlefields of the year. Although they have been raised in the peaceful city of Jianye City for many years, there is always a sharpness in their bodies, like a sword that is constantly being polished, As time goes by, not only will it not be dull, but it will become more terrifying.

When Han Zhong noticed something was wrong, it was too late to escape. Although the night was still deep and gentle, with a bit of mystery, it could no longer be their shelter. On the contrary, they could see countless shadows approaching, forming a team , forming a human wall, forming... an army formation.

Tonight, ambushes were ambushed at every gate of the city. Some of these ambush soldiers were veterans of Jianye's first city defense elite, Lei Jun, and others were teams that the school affairs office had continuously dispatched from the army these days.

Who would have thought that Zhou Gongjin's real purpose of borrowing soldiers from the army was not to search for spies in the city, but to use them in places like the city gate to guard the pass?

In fact, from the beginning, this seemingly huge manhunt was just a layer of skin covering the truth, but it was precisely because of the continuous expansion of this manhunt that Han Zhong and others finally began to panic all day long because of fear. In the end, he took the risk and decided to go out of the city to escape.

But the final result was that they just fell into the trap carefully designed for them by Zhou Gongjin and Shen Dao.

Han Zhong, who understood everything, felt a little regretful, but he could only grit his teeth. Looking at the soldiers surrounding the city gate, he hissed, "Follow me to the tower!"

Those who followed him were dead soldiers, so naturally there would be no objection, and everyone could see that at this moment, they were completely exposed in Jianye, and they had to seize the city gate as quickly as possible and escape from Jianye.

Even if the hope is slim, who can give up even a little chance?

Huang Yao, who was standing at the top of the city, looked at those who attacked the top of the city like moths to a flame with disdain. It could be seen that the leader, Han Zhong, had a good cultivation, at least he was already in the third realm, and if he went further, he might be a A little master.

But how did he know that right next to him, there is a real little grandmaster?

"I'll go first. Although they can't run away, some people will still be injured." Qin Ke said to Huang Yao, but he was actually a little disappointed.

The two masters he saw at Hu's house that day, a swordsman and an archer, did not show up. I don't know if they were at other city gates, or they had already left Jianye to avoid the limelight.

However, he didn't mean to be passive and sabotage. With a slight shake of his Bodhisattva sword, he fell down high along the wall of the tower!

Chapter 741 Big Prison

There is a saying that it only takes a blink of an eye for a child to grow up.

For Jianye, a city like a mother, Qin Ke, Abu and others are just like the children it raises. Although they are still young and immature, their talent and perseverance have made them pass the journey that many people cannot pass in their lifetime. The threshold passed, standing on a peak enough for many people to look up to.

It is more than three feet from the top of the city tower to the bottom of the city wall, and the force of falling to the ground is enough for an ordinary person to smash his brains.

But Qin Ke just fell down without any tricks, and didn't even use the city wall to slow down the speed halfway, just letting his body fall straight down like a heavy stone, which surprised Huang Yao .

However, in the following time, he also saw Qin Ke's peculiarity with his own eyes - he was clearly in mid-air, but while his hem fluttered and fluttered, he suddenly seemed to be affected by an invisible force. Pushed by the powerful force, the whole person precisely moved forward by more than two feet, and landed directly on top of Han Zhong!

Holding a knife in his hand, Han Zhong, who was thinking about being killed on the tower, had a ferocious expression on his face. Just as he stabbed a man to death, he sent a fully armed soldier flying with his palm, crashed into the city wall and then followed the tower. The steps rolled down with a thud.

But the moment he raised his head, it was already covered in darkness, as if the deep night suddenly turned into a ghost and landed on his shoulder with a bang!

He first felt his body sinking suddenly, then severe pain began to spread from his shoulders, all the way down his arm to the tiger's mouth, the sound of bone breaking was like a terrible scream that urged him to die, and it poured into his eardrum directly. Liang's knife fell to the ground with a bang.

Qin Ke didn't even give him a chance to commit suicide, but just slightly turned the body of the Bodhisattva Sword, pointed the hilt at Han Zhong's mouth, and forced it in.

"Woo..." Han Zhong felt that the hard hilt was almost stuck in his throat. A strong sense of vomiting and severe pain made him pause, but he felt another punch on the face, and his mouth was full of teeth. They were all shaken loose.

"You don't want to die." Qin Ke said coldly.

This sounds like a discourse between lovers. If it were told by a storyteller, I am afraid that I would have to add more details about how the little lady carried the rain, but the way Qin Ke did this was to take advantage of the situation and give Han Zhong slapped him across the face.

One can imagine the power of the little Grandmaster's slap, half of Han Zhong's cheeks swelled up almost immediately, the moonlight illuminated the countless teeth that Han Zhong spit out, and there was a tiny poisonous sac mixed in them. The flowing black liquid, no need to guess, is a mineral poison that seals the throat with blood.

From the beginning of this battle, the ending was already doomed. Qin Ke didn't even need to signal for the masters of the school office who were ambushing in the dark to take action, but just took the torch handed over by the soldiers at the side and shook it three times.

In the shadows, it seemed that some people disappeared quickly after handing over their hands. They turned into ghosts between the buildings, and went to support another city gate in the alley full of dirty mice and wild cats.

Afterwards, Qin Ke turned to the soldiers who were still immersed in the fierce battle and said: "Take away all the survivors, put the dead ones in the car, and take them back to the school office."

It's a pleasure to catch them all, but what the school office really wants is the news from these people. Fortunately, since its establishment, this powerful yamen itself is a place that is good at interrogation. Qin Ke just took people all the way into the cage. The well-trained jailers threw those people into the cages in a very rough way.

Qin Ke sat quietly at the entrance of the prison and waited quietly, watching with his own eyes the convicts being brought in one after another, and then being taken to a darker depth one by one.

The howling of the prison rang out for more than an hour, and even the jailers who were good at interrogating had already felt a little tired, but Zhou Gongjin, who came later, was very patient, and was even in the mood to drink tea and face Qin Ke. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, these people are all good hands. For their whole life, they have seen others suffer and suffer every day. I am afraid that even midwives are not as good as them."

"This joke is not funny at all." Abu, who was a little tired, smiled helplessly as he sat aside. He was busy with military reports these days, and he only slept for two hours a day. He wished he could split himself into two people. He even participated in the planning of things.

"Abu, do you want to rest for a while?" Qin Ke was a little worried about Abu's body.

"I'm fine. Anyway, after so many years of practice, it's not that easy to collapse." Abu smiled while drinking tea, stood up again, shaking the jingling armor, "I have to go back to the barracks first, according to the time, tonight There is another military report coming, I have to wait."

"This is a big deal." Zhou Gongjin nodded, "Remember to talk to us later, I also want to know what happened to the old general and that bastard."

The bastard, of course, refers to Gao Changgong. Although it is no longer a secret for them that Gao Changgong may have mental problems, he still slanders this friend endlessly.

"That guy looked down on this and that all day long relying on his own cultivation, but now he is doing well, playing with eagles all day long, but now he is pecked in the eyes by those sparrows."

Abu was a little displeased, but he also knew that Zhou Gongjin was not telling the truth, so he left the cell without saying anything.

After another half an hour, the new prison chief finally came out tired, holding at least thirty-odd bamboo slips in both hands, each with a bloody finger print on it.

"My lord, the mission is fulfilled. After all, there are still a few weak bones among these dead soldiers, especially the Han Zhong brought by Lord Qin. He still wants to save his life to meet his wife and children, so he told everything he knew." The prison head said.

"How dare you have a wife and children when you are a dead man? It seems like a waste." Zhou Gongjin sneered, "Bring his wife and children. If he is willing to contribute to the school office in the future, then I will press his case files first. ,otherwise……"

He didn't continue, but even Qin Ke could hear the bloody killing intent between his lips and teeth. If Han Zhong refused to give in, Zhou Gongjin would even threaten the lives of the poor mother and child.

But he didn't speak, because this is the style of the school office. With his ability, he really can't be a light that illuminates the darkness. In this case, there is no need to show those redundant sympathies at this time.

In fact, he doesn't know whether he should be happy or sad. It seems that since he stepped into Jianye City, he has become less and less like himself. Sometimes when he wakes up early and sees his face in the reflection in the washbasin, he feels that that person Some strange.

The letter of resignation had already been handed over to Zhou Gongjin. If it wasn’t for what happened later that made him unable to leave Jingwu, he might have already traveled the world with Cai Yan by now, right?

But sometimes, people really can't help themselves.

But after that, he clenched his fists tightly, stood up suddenly from the chair, the Bodhisattva sword was almost directly attached to his palm like a part of flesh and blood, and Xiao Hei protruded a small head from his chest, Looking around curiously.

"Then let's go." Qin Ke said.

When Tiger woke up, there was darkness in front of his eyes, and the tip of his nose smelled a mixture of mud and corruption, and his ears were so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat.

There was some pain in his forehead, but he didn't reach out to touch it, because he knew that his hands were being firmly bound to an iron ball weighing more than a hundred kilograms, and each iron ring of the iron chain was as thick as a baby's arm. It is difficult for him to break free even as a small master.

What's more, at this moment, his qi and blood have completely diffused in his body, and the medicine of Sangong has filled every drop of his blood, draining all the strength from his whole body, and even moving a finger is very laborious.

He licked his chapped lips, and finally regained some sanity. His eyes were gradually adapting to the darkness. When he turned his head slightly, he saw a pretty face sleeping beside him.

"A Li..." Hu whispered.

That's right, in this darkness, the one beside him is Gongsunli, but the appearance of her now is completely different from the heroine who walked the rivers and lakes before. The appearance of her curled up in a corner and sleeping soundly is a sick and weak animal. cat.

I don't know if it was because of dreaming, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her body contracted slightly involuntarily, as if she wanted to curl herself up tighter, so that she could temporarily leave this darkness, or, to blend in more This darkness.

Chapter 742 "The Messenger of God"

After a quarter of an hour, she woke up.

"Are you awake? Are you alright?" Probably seeing the tiger looking at him, Gongsunli was a little shy in surprise, but fortunately the darkness concealed the blush on her face, which made the embarrassment a little less.

But what she is most concerned about now is the injury on Hu's forehead. Before coming here, Hu's forehead was hit hard by those people, and he passed out on the spot. Watching beside the tiger.

"It's nothing, it's just a small injury." Hu smiled slightly, although he could feel the pain on his forehead, but in order to comfort Gongsunli, he chose to hide it.

"That's good... I don't have anything on hand, I can only rub it for you for a while, and then use..." Gongsunli stopped abruptly, thinking that he had used some saliva to treat Hu's forehead injury temporarily, and his face had just faded away. Some blushes became more intense again.

But then she sighed again: "I don't know when such a day will end."

Having said that, both of them fell into silence at the same time.

Everyone knows it's hard to live under a human roof, but they were both worse than that, because they were prisoners, and even their wrists were callused from the friction of the shackles, and they were getting used to it.

This is a terrible habit, but what can they do except that they can adapt to themselves who are used to being imprisoned?

Whether it's Hu or Gongsunli, the energy and blood realm of the two of them can't be raised at this time. Wearing the heavy shackles, even if they want to escape, they can't escape.

"If... one of us dies first one day..." Gongsunli looked at Hu with tears in his eyes, and said suddenly, "Then..."
