The prefect paused, but did not stop.
Soon he left the cell.
The right guard then emerged from the straw, looking obviously frightened.
It was not only because of the tense situation when facing the prefect just now, but also because of the changes in the prefect.
The prefect's words just now have confirmed that his condition is abnormal... He knew that Jiang Ke'er had the ability to rescue Taibai Xia, but he did not choose to take her to save people.
He seemed to be threatened by something and was somewhat out of control.
"It seems that the kidnappers want him to find Di Renjie," Jiang Ke'er thought, "Why are they looking for him all over the world? It's strange... Why is he so important?"
"You really don't know where Di Gong is?" The right gate guard couldn't bear to see his own prefect in pain. After all, he had been his retainer for so many years, and the prefect had always been very good to him.
"I may know, or I may not," Jiang Ke'er answered ambiguously, "but now is not the time for him to show up. He should have a more important mission, otherwise he should have come out to take charge of the situation... But even the safety of Master Taibai did not shake him and expose himself. What a hidden Di Gong."
"The safety of Master Taibai is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty," Qiao Qianxue suddenly said, "It's impossible that Lord Di doesn't care. He just thinks... others can handle this problem and the situation is not yet at the point where he has to be exposed."
"Others..." Jiang Ke'er frowned and thought for a while, "Who else can..."
"You," Qiao Qianxue smiled and scratched Jiang Ke'er's chin, "Who else but you?"
Jiang Ke'er pouted and shook her head: "No, I can't do it alone, and you... It seems we have to break out of prison."
I originally wanted to abide by the local laws of Jinguan City and not go against the government, so that I could travel smoothly on this road and meet Qiao Xiaoxian as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect that the situation in Jinguan City had become so serious that even the kind-hearted sergeant...
Alas, we can only transfer him to Mingzhou to work.
"Prison break? Just do it." Qiao Qianxue obviously didn't care about laws and regulations.
Jiang Ke'er is her first criterion for action, and all other rules are nothing but clouds.
"..." The guard on the right looked at the two girls in front of him speechlessly.
Do you really think that the prison is run by your family? The more you think, the more you want?
Although the Sky Prison in Jinguan City is not the strongest, it is also impregnable.
Just two of you delicate girls...
"Sister Qianxue, let me ask you a serious question," Jiang Ke'er looked at Qiao Qianxue seriously, "What is your fighting ability? How many jailers can you beat?"
"Um……"
Qiao Qianxue leaned over and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "So-so, second best in the world."
"Boasting again, bragging again!" Jiang Ke'er stamped her feet in anger, "I have fought against the top three in the universe, who are you?"
"..." The jailer next to him was dumbfounded, thinking that you are quite boastful, and you have fought against the top three in the universe...
Could it be that I have come to a mental hospital? Why do I feel like these two girls have mental problems?
"In short, I'll unlock the door and you'll clear the way. Try not to kill anyone and just knock out any jailer you meet." Jiang Ke'er instructed.
"Yeah." Qiao Qianxue nodded.
After making a plan, Jiang Keer immediately performed the locking technique.
"Click~"
The cell door opened in response.
Qiao Qianxue rushed out like a gust of wind. Even with Jiang Ke'er's current dynamic vision, she only had time to see a white shadow.
Wherever the wind blew, the surrounding jailers fell down with a thud.
Jiang Ke'er and the right guard ran as fast as they could to chase the white shadow, but they failed to catch up.
By the time they ran to the prison gate, all the jailers had already fainted, and Qiao Qianxue was already waiting leisurely in the shadows at the door.
"...You guys," the right guard's face twitched. He recalled that Jiang Ke'er had unlocked the cell and dragged him into it. Looking at the jailer lying on the ground, he suddenly felt that his imagination was not enough. "So you guys are here to experience life in prison?"
It’s really fierce.
Even Jiang Ke'er couldn't help but marvel - she had actually slightly underestimated Sister Qianxue's strength.
"Come on."
Everyone hurriedly trotted out of the prison and hid in the alleys far away.
Qiao Qianxue straightened her veil - the previous sergeant was very nice to the caravan members and did not ask them to search all their belongings. He only searched all possible dangerous items, so she kept wearing her veil on her head.
Now is not the time to reveal it.
"It's noon now, and the palace should be holding a banquet," said the right guard, "It's not easy for us to sneak in..."
"Banquet, why hold a banquet at this time?" Jiang Ke'er stood outside the prefect's residence, her nose twitched, and her face changed, "Oh no!"
"Someone wants to silence me!"
"What?" The right guard didn't react at first. "To silence him, could it be..."
"That's right! We're going to silence the entire family of the prefect!"

30. The Shocking Quest
"You have to go in and help." Jiang Ke'er whispered to the right guard at the foot of the wall, "Someone has poisoned the dishes at the banquet. You have to solve the problem. We can't show up or we'll alert the enemy."
"I'll do it?" The guard on the right turned pale with fear. "I can't do it. I don't know how to detoxify. What if something goes wrong..."
"You have to go!" Jiang Ke'er pushed the right guard towards the gate. "Hero Taibai is now controlled by someone, and his life is hanging by a thread. If you disturb the poisoner, they can kill you at any time... So you have to be an insider to save the prefect's family. We have to wait for the right opportunity to rescue Hero Taibai directly."
"Master Taibai..."
These four words once again demonstrated their incomparable magic. The originally timid right-door guard was instantly filled with courage when he heard these four words.
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
The reputation and image of this hero Taibai is really completely different from what he was back then.
Jiang Keer smiled bitterly…Back then, only when someone wanted to kill me would the people of Shenzhou be so excited.
Never mind, this is fine.
"They put poison in the wine and food. I'll give you a handful of incense. After you go in, light it and hide it under the table. This way you can save them." Jiang Ke'er said, and took out a handful of incense from the inventory with a painful look on her face.
These incenses were treasures worth thousands of crystals in an era of scarce spiritual energy. He had to at least cultivate himself to the point where he could leave Shenzhou before he could find more raw materials to make them.
Never mind, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
Wait, I am Hou Tu, the leader of the dead, why should I save people...
Forget it, just think of it as giving face to my future wife and improving her favor. After all, the human world is the territory of the God Emperor.
"Go."
The right guard got the incense, and Jiang Ke'er urged him to act quickly: "You must light the incense within one eighth of an hour, otherwise even the gods can't save them."
"Ok!"
The right gatekeeper nodded solemnly and hurried to the door of the prefect's house.
"Eh? Why are you back?" The left guard was slightly stunned and looked at him with an expression that said, "I understand you." "It seems that the banquet at the prefect's house is more delicious. Come on, come on, come in and eat together."
The right guard hid the medicinal incense in his sleeve and was pulled to the table by the left guard.
While there was no one around, he prepared to use the flint to burn the sticks and light the incense.
"Guard Zhang!"
"what?!"
The calling voice not far away made his body stiffen. He quickly raised his head and looked at the source of the sound blankly.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw the prefect walking towards him himself.
"Where did you go just now?" The prefect looked at him with concern and sat down beside him.
"Just now... my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I went to the clinic," the right guard lowered his head and answered with a stiff expression.
He was not good at lying, especially not in front of the prefect.
This kind of boss who is in a high position can always see through the little thoughts of his subordinates at a glance.
"Well... then eat less," the prefect patted the right guard on the shoulder. He seemed to be preoccupied with something, so he didn't notice the right guard's abnormality.
But the problem is...he just sat down next to the right guard!
The right-door guard had something to hide, and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He held the medicine bottle stiffly, not knowing what to do.
He must light these medicinal incense within one eighth of an hour, otherwise everyone at the banquet will die!
But the prefect is right beside me...
"Have you seen this?"
The prefect suddenly spoke and took out a copper coin with a chip on it from his bosom.
The right-door guard was so frightened that he almost fainted.
He was very familiar with this copper coin. In the past, the sergeant always played with this bad copper coin, turning it around between his fingers until it had a patina on it.
I used to laugh at him, and he said, "You know nothing. When this copper coin is passed down to my grandchildren for the hundredth generation, it will be a family heirloom!"
Unfortunately, he died before he even had a chance to give birth to a son.
"No, I haven't seen it," staring at the copper coin, the right guard became alert.
If he had not known the prefect's situation in advance, he might have exposed his close relationship with the sergeant with this question.
"Well, okay," the prefect nodded, "then how much do you know about Sergeant Lin?"
"not much……"
"Oh, right," the prefect said with a look of sudden realization, "I remember that when Sergeant Lin came yesterday, you were the one who entered the room to report the news, right?"
"Yes...it's my subordinate." The right guard instantly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"I can't remember some things clearly," the prefect narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you remember what you saw when you came here yesterday... I forgot, can you help me think about it?"
The right guard tried to recall, and finally shook his head and said, "You kicked me out as soon as I entered the room. It was very dark in the room and I couldn't see anything clearly..."
"So how did you respond to Sergeant Lin?"
The right guard's scalp tingled: "I remember... I said, 'The prefect doesn't want to see you. The miracle doctor is here, so you don't need to worry about it.'"
"Hmm..." The prefect nodded. That terrifying gaze seemed to have penetrated the skin of the right guard and peered into the depths of his soul.
The right guard didn't even dare to breathe.
"I understand. You can eat." The prefect stood up, patted the right guard on the shoulder, and sighed. "If nothing unexpected happens, Master Taibai will recover tonight. Let's have a banquet together to celebrate the success. The situation in Jinguan City has been tense these days. You have all worked hard. Relax today."
"It is our honor to serve you, sir," the right guard suddenly felt sad and tears rolled down his face. "I was promoted by you, sir. You have been very kind to me over the years. In my heart, you are like a father..."
The prefect was startled and gave a bitter smile.
"Enjoy it."
The prefect finally left, but the right gate guard was still crying loudly.
He lit the incense with trembling hands and hid it under the table.
Then he seemed to be exhausted. He sat at the table weakly, drinking wine sip by sip.
He felt that he had used up all his life's ability to withstand stress and to lie.
And the truest lies are always half-truths.
He didn't know what would happen next. If the medicinal incense was effective and the poisoner didn't take effect, he would be furious.
No one knows what he will do when he is furious.
I haven't seen the lady and the young lady in the mansion these days. They must have been kidnapped. If the kidnappers get angry, I'm afraid...
I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Prefect.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Yilan, the rest depends on you."
We must protect Hero Taibai!
