The door of the death cell is only about ten steps wide. In such a narrow place, even Cao Qingyan would not dare to arrange a hundred crossbowmen in an array, not to mention that the number of the opponent may reach a thousand.
It's over, it's really a dead end now!
Shiba and the internal machine surveillance masters suddenly faced Li Yi, and they all knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to help your Majesty find a way out!"
After saying that, they all stood up and ran straight towards the door.
Li Yi was shocked. They were planning a suicide attack to find a way out for themselves.
But as the emperor, how could he let these loyal and brave men die miserably here.
He immediately yelled, "Wait!"
The eighteen or so people stopped, their eyes resolute and without fear.
Li Yi thought about it and said, "Why are you so anxious? Things haven't reached this point yet."
"Your Majesty, the city guards of the Daliang Palace have been surrounded outside. If we don't leave, when the city guards gather more and more, we may not be able to leave even if we want to."
Shiba fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, let me lead my brothers to charge once and open a hole!"
Li Yi tried hard to control the confusion in his heart. At this time, as the boss, he must stay awake enough, otherwise it would be really over.
Looking at the ancient death row, Li Yi suddenly had an idea, "How many years has this death row been built?"
Eighteen and the others were stunned. They didn't know why. It's already at this time. Why does Your Majesty still care about the life of this death row? We are not here for fun.
Cao Qingyan was stunned and hurriedly blurted out: "It has been established for hundreds of years by the previous dynasty."
Li Yi nodded and said: "Since it has been so long, it was established by the previous dynasty. According to my guess, this death row will definitely have a secret passage leading to the outside."
"Secret passages?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present's eyes lit up. Yes, why did you forget this? This death row has been around for a long time and was built by the previous dynasty. It is very likely that the craftsmen left a secret passage.
Shiba and the few masters of the internal machine surveillance who went to die also breathed a sigh of relief. No one is not afraid of death, they are also afraid of death, but for Li Yi, they can only choose to die.
At this time, Shang Wanning, who was lying in Li Yi's arms, coughed, and then said weakly: "Even if there is a secret passage, it will be difficult to find it for a while, and in this kind of death row, the entrance to the secret passage is absolutely secretive."
It’s over!
As soon as Shang Wanning finished speaking, the hope that had just been ignited above everyone's heads collapsed once again.
But Li Yi smiled calmly, "We don't know, but someone must know."
"Who!" Cao Qingyan, Shiba and the others asked in unison.
Li Yi turned his head and looked at the cells around him, confidently saying, "This is the lowest level of the death row, where the most vicious people are imprisoned. Many of them have been imprisoned for decades, so they must be very familiar with the surroundings. They may know the secret way out of death row."
Shiba was puzzled and said: "Then they knew they had run away long ago, so why stay here and suffer?"
Li Yi said, "No, outside is the world ruled by the Gale Dynasty. Even if they escape, the result will be the same. They will be captured again soon."
"But if he goes out with me now, he will not be a vicious criminal, but a meritorious official, and I will reward him."
The eighteen or so people couldn't help but nod their heads, looking at Li Yi with eyes full of admiration.
Even Shang Wanning couldn't help being surprised, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. His character was really powerful, messy but not surprised.
"Quick, look who are in these death rows?" Cao Qingyan shouted immediately.
All the internal surveillance experts began to shout loudly at the prison, trying to wake up the prisoners inside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, who do you think that is?" Cao Qingyan suddenly exclaimed, his face full of disbelief, even panic.
Li Yi was also shocked. Who could make Cao Qingyan, the great murderer, lose his composure?
Following Cao Qingyan's gaze, Li Yi saw the man in the prison. He had long greasy gray-white hair and a long beard that covered his face. It was dragged to the ground. He was covered with something temporarily called clothes, and his hands were Like a monkey's paw, dark and covered with dirt...
In short, in one sentence, he is more experienced than the experienced.
Li Yi glanced at Cao Qingyan and said, "I don't know him. Why, do you know him?"
"Know?" Cao Qingyan shook his head.
"Do you know him or not?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Cao Qingyan said in shock, "It's not that I don't know him, I know him so well, how could he not know him?"
"This is the first general in the late Emperor's court, Hu Weihou, Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Houye!"
Li Yi's eyelids trembled, and a figure burst out in his mind. In the memory of his predecessor, the bastard, there really was a figure named Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng.
But the key point is not what he looks like in front of him. In his memory, he is the mighty tiger and Hou Lu Xiangsheng. He is as fierce as fire. He is good at wielding a Guandao weighing a hundred kilograms. He has an extraordinary bearing. With a tiger's roar, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are trembling.
But how could the old man in front of him have any of the majesty of a tiger?
"Your Majesty, it is Mr. Lu who is the real Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng. Mr. Lu has been missing for a long time and there is no trace. Unexpectedly, he is being imprisoned here!"
"Yes, but Mr. Lu is the Minister of Humerus of the Gale Dynasty, the cornerstone of the country, and a majestic tiger. How can he be imprisoned here?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. It was rumored that Hu Weihou led his troops to the grassland to suppress the rebellion. He was ambushed by mistake and fell on the grassland. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he was actually imprisoned here.
It is a pity that this Huweihou who once made great contributions to the Gale Dynasty is now unkempt, smelly, and has been tortured long ago.
Hearing the voice, Huwei Hou Lu Xiangsheng slowly raised his head, "You little thieves, if you dare to look at me, get out!"
The roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon made Li Yi retreat even more.
He is worthy of being a mighty tiger. Even after being tortured into this state, his majesty is still the same as before.
Li Yi couldn't bear to see the powerful Marquis Lu Xiang promoted. As the emperor, he was a loyal minister, but he was imprisoned. But he didn't even know it was a shame, a huge shame, that he had to live up to the name of the emperor!
Cao Qingyan snorted angrily, "You bastard, King Xiaoliang, this bastard, has long had a rebellious intention. He actually dared to secretly collude with the grassland tribes to assassinate Hu Weihou and want to cut off His Majesty's right and left arm. His ambition is so great. The profound strategy is rare in this world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and felt chills all over their bodies.
The ambition of King Xiaoliang is well known to the whole world, but no one thought that he could be so cruel and ruthless. He even dared to imprison a capable minister like Hu Weihou. It was simply unconscionable!
This also allowed Shang Wanning to see clearly the face of King Xiaoliang. In his eyes, there was only profit and power, and everything else could be omitted.
Li Yi gritted his teeth, his fingers turned white when pinched, and his heart was filled with rage. "Huweihou, I have failed you!"
Then, he yelled, "Come here, break the chains, I will personally take Hu Weihou back to the capital!"
"Who!" Hu Weihou, who had been in deathly silence just now, suddenly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter, staring at Li Yi, "What did you just say? You said it to me!"
Li Yi nodded, "Yes, I'm talking about me!"
"Bold, today is the reincarnation of a real dragon, you little thieves are worthy of calling me, seeking death!"
The appearance of the mighty Hou Lu Xiangsheng instantly made Li Yi's eyes turn red.
At this time, Hu Weihou is still protecting my majesty. How can such a loyal minister be allowed to suffer such a serious crime!
Cao Qingyan stood aside, "Huweihou, old slave Cao Qingyan salutes you!"
Huweihou looked at him sharply and looked him up and down, "It's really you, Qingyan, why are you here? Maybe King Xiaoliang has broken through the capital and captured you too. What about Your Majesty, the concubines in the harem?" What about the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty?"
Cao Qingyan shook his head, "Hu Weihou, they are all fine. Look at this one, who is he?"
"Who is it?" Hu Weihou looked at Li Yi, looking up and down, but still couldn't see it.
"He is our current prince Li Yi, the late emperor's prince." As soon as Cao Qingyan said these words, Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng was instantly shocked.
Then, his emotions became excited, "Your Majesty, you are really Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "I am today's emperor!"
After saying that, he hurriedly took out the jade seal and the golden dragon waist card, and only then did Hu Weihou completely believe it.
After a few brief greetings, Li Yi hurriedly asked: "Hu Weihou, to tell you the truth, Cao Qingyan and I have been discovered by King Xiaoliang's people and have blocked the door of the death row. Do you know if there is anyone else in this death row?" An exit, a secret passage or something?"
"Maybe he knows the secret passage!" Huweihou Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the prison opposite, with a look of fear in his eyes.
