Jiaohua

Chapter 155
The wind inside the prison is colder, and with the gurgling sound of water flowing in from the outside, the whole prison is like a cold room.

He Chuanjiang stood in front of the cell door, with iron chains hanging from the wooden railing, and the wooden bed inside was empty except for a broken mat.

The two guards next to them were already terrified, and they knelt in the water, almost flooding their faces.

"My lord, we really don't know when he went out!"

"We have been guarding outside all the time, and we haven't left a step. It's no different from usual!"

"Forget it," He Chuanjiang said indifferently, looking towards them, "I think I know, how can such an old and dilapidated cell hold him, I was careless after all."

The two guards breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, my lord, we are indeed responsible for ineffective supervision!" said a guard.

"Don't think too much, it's okay." He Chuanjiang said, turned and walked outside.

Stop at the door, same position as before.

The courtyard was dredging and raining horizontally, and when it was almost dusk, the logs over there fell down and hit the eaves, making a loud noise.

He Chuanjiang's mood suddenly became calm when he heard the voice over there. It seemed that all the words Ji Hong said that day echoed in his ears.

What Ji Hong said was too different from what the girl said. At first, he thought it might be because he didn't know Jiang Shilang had brought his luggage, but He Chuanjiang thought it was not the case.

When he came here to look for him that day, his words were too instructive, and he was very determined, calm and confident. Among all the things he said, the most important thing was that Ji Hong called them "useless chess".

It was this "useless chess" that completely defeated He Chuanjiang's persistence.

Now the girl said that they were not abandoned, but the road was seriously blocked, and the people sent by Jiang Shilang were chased and killed on the road.

He Chuanjiang frowned, with a look of gloom floating on his face.

Recalling Ji Hong's demeanor and calm self-confidence when he said that the northwest front was tighter than here, He Chuanjiang can almost conclude that he must have an inseparable relationship with these pursuers.

"I want to find the body of a girl. Her name is Lin Youqing. She was born in the year of Jiaxu and died on the [-]th or [-]th of June this year. She died in the Dragon and Tiger Hall of Zhaoyun Mountain in Chongyi..."

He Chuanjiang recalled this passage, and raised his hand to stroke his beard.

Maybe it's a lie. Maybe it's just a deliberate difficulty for them to increase the credibility of his words by saying these words?

He Chuanjiang shook his head, whether it was true or not, he didn't intend to care about it, and now he was really glad and scared, glad that the girl came at the last moment before they left the city, if not, he really didn't know what to do up.

As for now, he should clear up his thoughts, and then go to face the rebels outside the west city gate.

Before Xia Zhaoyi entered the city, Ji Hong had already left, so getting in and out of such a prison was no trouble for him.

He was standing on the cliff now, looking at the city gates to the east of Peifeng, not only did not move, he even watched them being closed.

"This..." The middle-aged man next to him said in surprise, "What's going on, why didn't they come out again?"

Ji Hong's expression was dignified, completely lost the previous leisurely and comfortable.

"Sir." The middle-aged man looked towards Ji Hong.

The mountain wind made their clothes flutter, Ji Hong picked up the bamboo hat on the side and put it on, turned around and said indifferently: "If you don't come, you won't come. Everything has accidents. There is no such thing as precise calculation in this world, only luck." .”

"But, if they don't come, don't we..."

Ji Hong didn't speak, and walked towards the mountain road, he didn't need to say anything or explain anything to him.

The middle-aged man heard about his temper, sighed helplessly, turned his head to look at his subordinates behind him, and said, "Ride back first, tell the young master what happened here, and tell him not to come over."

"Yes!" The subordinate took the order.

The middle-aged man followed Ji Hong, stepped into the carriage parked at the mountain crossing, and his men got on their horses and ran out quickly.

At the same time, another team was stopping on the other side of the mountain.

Feng Ze ran first, reined in his horse and turned to look at Shen Lie: "Master, it's really just these two days."

Shen Lie's mount trotted over and stopped.

The young man looked down at the footprints on the ground and the gullies run over by the wheels, and then looked up at the road ahead: "It seems that there are indeed a lot of people passing by, at least more than a hundred people."

"It may be more than that," Feng Zesu said, "Master, could it be the army?"

"Which group do you think it might be?" Shen Lie asked back.

Du Xuan and Zhang Meng, who were following their mounts, looked at each other and shook their heads.

The corner of Shen Lie's lips twitched, and he said coldly: "Let's go, if you can't guess, don't guess."

At present, everyone wants to take a bite of fat meat, and these people who want to eat meat, indeed, each of them has such ambition, courage and means. If you really have to guess, you can't be sure which one it is for a while.

…………

The sky was dim, the clouds were thick, and there was a hint of rain.

Tao Yinhe personally sent Xia Zhaoyi to the back of the dirt slope outside the city gate. Seeing the chained Qingyun, Tao Yinhe raised his eyebrows, and it was true that there was a horse as she said, but thinking of her equestrian skills, I don't think it's strange.

A long wind blows from the wilderness, wrapping it in a biting coolness.

The girl quickly untied the horse and led the horse to the bottom of the slope. She stepped on the high place and turned on the horse, looking back at Tao Yinhe: "Go back, thank you."

Tao Yinhe frowned and said, "Miss Ali, are you really not staying in the city? I'll send someone to fetch your friends. It's too cold for you to go back like this now."

"That can't be done," the girl smiled and said condescendingly, "It's much more comfortable for us to eat and drink outside than living in your city."

Tao Yinhe laughed: "The gates of the city were closed to prevent those refugees from entering the city, but now I want to invite you, but you refuse."

"No, it's me who refuses, whether they will or not depends on what they mean," Xia Zhaoyi's complexion changed slightly, showing impatience, and said, "However, the refugees who were rejected by you before, now Nine times out of ten, I am afraid that he has died."

"The situation forced us to do nothing," Tao Yinhe said.

"I didn't blame you, I just feel sorry for the common people." After finishing speaking, Xia Zhaoyi couldn't help but laugh, and then raised his hands and fists, "Farewell, see you by fate."

Looking at such a little girl, Tao Yinhe really felt that it was too difficult, but it was interesting, so he nodded: "Okay, Miss Ali, see you by fate."

"Let's go." The girl kicked the horse's belly, and the horse raised its hooves and walked forward.

Tao Yinhe still stood on the spot, watching the figures of a man and a horse in the distance for a while, then turned around, and returned to the city gate through the flood.

　Good night! >3<
