Chapter 629 General Xie, It's Me!

Xie Yuan cut off three doors in one breath, but no one heard the movement to stop them, as if the Supervision Department was empty.

Xie Yuan leaned against the wall of the corridor leading to the depths of the dungeon, panting slightly, his hand holding the sword was a little sore.She secretly relaxed her muscles and rested, while observing the movement of the dungeon with her eyes.

The front is already an ordinary dungeon, with a wider view and more cells. Through the edge of the stone wall, you can see that there are prisoners locked inside, which is quite overcrowded.

But still no guards were seen.

Seeing this, Gu Liang became more and more anxious, and said in a voice almost whispering:
"General Xie, there is definitely a problem with this. I'm afraid it's a trap. Maybe there's another circle of crossbowmen waiting outside. That's how my brother Gu Huang died...how about we go back."

Xie Yuan said in a panting voice with a relaxed tone, "Wait a minute, let me take a breath before I talk."

Gu Liang turned his attention to Xie Yuan only at this time, seeing that she seemed to be very tired, he couldn't help being a little puzzled.

Just now it was clear that she was very easy to lift the sword to smash the door, but she didn't see that she wasted effort at all.

But after thinking about it, she realized that it took a lot of strength and energy to swing a sword to the point where it could cut gold and stone. It would definitely not be as easy as it appeared on the surface. It was normal for her to feel tired.

What's more...the food was taken away today, they haven't eaten all day, and they are still hungry...

"General Xie...how about we go back and come back another day." Gu Liang said.

Seeing that Chen Jiu's army was about to enter the city, Li Wu's death was approaching anyway, and he didn't want to die first.

Xie Yuan shook the hand holding the sword, and turned the back of his hand. In an instant, the relaxed state just now disappeared, and instead he carried a fierce aura.

She said: "This may be a trap, or it may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like this? I will go ahead and test it out, and you will respond later when it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, we will retreat."

Gu Liang's dull face showed no expression, he just swallowed nervously and said:
"...It is said that General Xie has a tough fighting style, and now I finally understand what that means."

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at him, and asked seriously: "Do you agree with this plan?"

"Agree." Gu Liang said.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan didn't say much anymore, and walked out cautiously with a sword in his hand.

The cells on both sides stretched out in front of her little by little, taking in everything at a glance, and then receded behind her.

Many of the prisoners who were locked in were tortured, and their bodies were stained with blood and fell on the straw-covered ground.Some crouched in the corner dejectedly and motionless.

Only a few people heard the movement of the cell behind them, and they struggled to look back while holding on to the railing of the cell.

When Xie Yuan appeared in front of their eyes, those people all showed shocked expressions.

Because of Xie Yuan's attire and his cautious attitude, it was obvious that he was not from the Supervision Department.What's more, she still came out of the cell at the end.

A few people who didn't know why thought she had escaped from the cell at the back, shouted at Xie Yuan excitedly, and shouted in a suppressed voice:
"Hey! This hero, save me!"

"Save me, save me! If you don't save me, you will call someone!"

Others seemed to have broken the jar, and stopped them loudly without any consideration:
"You idiots! There are people from the Supervision Department outside, and he has a sword..."

The speaker paused, probably seeing Gu Liang following Xie Yuan far behind, and continued:

"It's no wonder that two people with two swords can escape. Whoever follows her will die."

"Staying here is still a death... Chevalier, let us out and run away with you, so you can have more chances to live, right?" There was another scholar-like person, full of expectations, Discuss with Xie Yuan in a polite tone.

As Xie Yuan walked, he observed the people on both sides of the cell, his eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion.

She kept a cold face and did not respond the whole time. After all, the current situation is too weird, and there is no guard in the entire cell.

So she was a little suspicious, afraid that the person in the cell was someone from the Supervision Department pretending to be.It was to lure her to release the person, pretend to be a companion, and then stab the knife in the back at a critical moment.

But...how did the supervisory department know that they would come at this time?
Could it be that they have already discovered the entrance to the secret passage here, and they have already planned to wait for the rabbit?
At this moment, someone shouted loudly:
"Unleash the general!"

Xie Yuan looked over for the voice, and saw that the person who made the voice had disheveled hair, and his face was so dirty that he couldn't tell, but he felt vaguely familiar.

Seeing Xie Yuan's hesitant expression, the man quickly lifted up the hair covering his face, and said:

"General Xie, it's me, Lieutenant Yang Feng of the Third Battalion of the Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, you taught us. I was the one who told you that Ma Shuo liked Princess Huaizhen."

Xie Yuan's pupils shook, and the long memories flashed in her mind, but she really couldn't remember what the person who spoke at that time looked like.

Especially now that the person involved is so embarrassed that he can't see his face clearly, and the vague memory is even more confusing.

Xie Yuan looked around vigilantly, and there were dozens of steps away, leading to the gate to the courtyard above.

She didn't say a word, but the cell had already exploded:
"Xie General? Which Xie General?"

"Is that the female general?"

"General Xie! It's me... I used to be a general under Shen Guozhu, we met before! Save me too!"

"Save me out!"

"Save me out!"

"And I!"

Those who were lying on the ground, and those who were dejected and silent, all ran to the railing, struggled to find her figure outside, and called for her to save them.

Several of them were senior officials.Xie Yuan met when he was in court, and he really knew each other.Most of them were people who were close to her master Shen Guozhu.

She looked around the chaotic situation for a week, frowned slightly and asked:

"Don't be noisy! Where's the guard here?"

Yang Feng said: "I don't know what happened, before a stick of incense, everyone was suddenly called away, panicked, as if they were going to arrest someone."

Xie Yuan's eyes turned, she believed half of it, she thought for a while and said:
"I'll go outside to check the situation first, and come back to save you if I have a chance. Be safe and don't be impatient!"

As soon as her words came out, the anxious prisoners suddenly died down, and returned to the state of listlessness just now, leaving only some dissatisfied murmurs.

Xie Yuan held his sword and walked towards the gate of the dungeon step by step...
