The winter nights seem to be extremely long, and the biting cold wind sweeps across, revealing a biting chill that makes people shrink their necks.
Outside the death cell in Nanling City, a group of patrolling officers had just come down from their posts. They were so cold that they rubbed their hands together, huffing and puffing, and walked towards the death cell in a hurry.
At the gate of the death row, a group of officials were gathered around the table, drinking wine to warm themselves up. Tomorrow is the day when Jiang Huailang will be beheaded. Today, the prison officer came to arrange matters for tomorrow and specially brought good wine and food to comfort them. .
They were drinking happily when they suddenly heard the brothers on guard outside the gate shouting: "Come here, someone is robbing the prison!"
Upon hearing the sound, the officers dropped the wine bowls in their hands, pulled out the sabers at their sides, and all rushed out of the gate. If the prisoner on death row was kidnapped today, none of them would survive.
When I took a closer look outside the door, I saw that there were only a dozen people who came to rob the prison. They were wearing night clothes and black masks. They were wrapped so tightly that their appearance could not be seen at all.
When the officers saw this, they didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed forward and started fighting with the masked man in black. Their coldly gleaming weapons collided with each other and made a "clinking" sound in the silent night.
The martial arts of that group of black-clothed and masked men were extremely powerful, and now there were more than a dozen officials lying on the ground. But the death row is heavily guarded. No matter how high their martial arts skills are, a dozen people can't stand up to the crowd tactics of the officers, and the group of men in black gradually lose the upper hand.
At this time, the prison officer and his entourage hurriedly walked out of the death row and shouted without knowing what was going on: "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"
The chief official said while making moves: "Master Sun, someone is robbing the prison!"
"What?!" The supervisor was horrified and shouted again, "Hurry up and take it down. If anything goes wrong today, both your heads and mine will be at risk!"
"Yes!" The officer leader quickly agreed, fighting with all his strength on his hands and feet.
The supervisor ordered the four guards standing beside him: "You guys, go and help too! Don't let the thief escape!"
"Yes!" The guards took the order, and the four of them quickly joined the battle.
During a fierce fight, the leading man in black was stabbed in the back, and then his mask was pulled off by a guard.
A resolute face appeared in front of everyone.
"Nie...General Nie?!" Someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
In an instant, all the fighting stopped abruptly, and countless people looked over with various scrutiny.
"Master, let's go!" Seeing that his identity was exposed, another man in black immediately pulled the wounded General Nie and escaped using Qinggong.
"Nie Shu wanted to rob a condemned prisoner and ignored the law. He immediately captured him and brought him to the palace to hand him over to the Holy Emperor for judgment!" the supervisor shouted, "Chase him!"
"This..." The officer leader looked hesitantly at the death row, then at the prison officer, and said hesitantly, "If we all go after General Nie, then here..."
"Why don't you worry about me being here?!" the supervisor angrily retorted, then hinted, "If we catch Nie Shu today, it will be a great achievement for you and me. The emperor wants to catch Nie Shu by his pigtails." for a long time."
At this slight mention, the chief official immediately understood. If he catches Nie Shu tonight and relieves the emperor's serious trouble, then he must be the first to win!
He immediately ordered: "Leave a group of people to guard the death row, and the others will chase after me!"
In the death row, a man in black attire bowed respectfully to Jiang Huailang who was sitting on the floor, "Master Jiang, I'm here to rescue you."
Jiang Huailang opened his slightly closed eyes, and his face was not affected by the sound of fighting outside. He just sat quietly aside, with his back straight, exuding an unyielding and awe-inspiring righteousness, and his hair on the temples. Nor did he lose the slightest sense of calmness.
He looked sharply at the man in black in front of him, his eyes were very calm, and he just asked flatly: "I have never met you, why did you take the risk to save me?"
The man in black bowed slightly to him, showing extra respect, "Master Jiang, don't be suspicious, this time I came to the rescue on the order of my master. I have rescued all of Master Jiang's relatives, now I only wait for Master Jiang."
"Oh? Then may I ask who your master's name is?" Jiang Huailang asked calmly, still unmoved.
"Master Jiang, time is running out. It's not appropriate to say more here. After you go out, the master will come to see you, and then all your problems will be solved." The voice of the man in black was still calm. Even if Jiang Huailang was indifferent, he would not be indifferent at all. Showing a bit of impatience.
Jiang Huailang slowly stood up, and the heavy chains on his hands and feet made a crisp sound. He glanced around, pointed at the people in the surrounding cells wearing prison uniforms and shackled like him, and asked: "You said you have rescued my family members, then who are these people?"
"These are just death row inmates who will replace you. Mr. Jiang, rest assured that no innocent people will be involved. The people here are all death row inmates who have committed heinous crimes." The man in black costume raised the corners of his lips slightly, and he had to admire his master in his heart. He was so good at predicting things that he even guessed all the questions Jiang Huailang asked correctly.
Jiang Huailang stared at these death row prisoners in silence, but never agreed to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Huailang still had concerns, the man in black asked calmly: "Don't you, Mr. Jiang, want to know who is robbing the prison outside?"
Jiang Huailang replied calmly: "Isn't he one of your people? It's a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
The man in black lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Jiang is wrong. The people who are coming to rob the prison are not our people. They are your best friend's son, Nie Shu."
Finally, something stirred up in Jiang Huailang's quiet eyes, and his voice became a little more urgent: "Why did Xiao Shu come to rob the prison? Did he...escape?"
"Lord Jiang also knows that General Nie has returned to Nanling City without an imperial edict, and he has only a dozen of his followers with him. No matter how high his martial arts skills are, he can't defeat the human sea tactics. What's more, there are so many officials chasing him, and there are patrol camps outside. How can we escape so easily?" The man in black looked calm and calm, and his tone was calm and calm, as if he was stating an insignificant matter, "If Mr. Jiang keeps delaying it, we may not have time to rush to rescue General Nie. ”
Jiang Huailang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the man in front of him was so calm and restrained, what kind of elegant figure must his master be? I wanted to come to rescue them because I had some purpose, but at worst it was just a nod. Now if his departure can save Xiao Shu, even if he bears the infamy of defecting, it will be worth it.
He bowed politely to the man in black and said, "Then please take me out."
The officer outside the death cell gate looked at the corpses of the group of people left behind by the leader of the official mission just now, and ordered the guard next to him: "Take care of them cleanly, and let the people who are ready come over quickly."
Not long after, a neat team of officers once again guarded the door of the death row.
