It's just after the late night, when people are most tired of the day. Inside the Gyro Mountain Horse Thief stronghold, even the most elite night guards are feeling sleepy at this moment, and the guards guarding near the prison are also yawning constantly.
Under the protection of the night, a figure first crossed the bright post and the hidden sentry, sneaked into the interior of the stockade, and then kept hiding in the darkness, slowly approaching the prison.
The guards guarding the cell suddenly saw a bottle rolling into the cell. The four guards looked over at the same time. At this time, a figure rushed into the cell from outside the door. The speed was so fast that the guard was beaten before he could react. Fainted to the ground, during this process, the guard patrolling outside the door did not hear any sound.
The person who came was the monkey, and he sneaked into the prison without making a sound. The monkey did not look for the key to the prison, but took out a slender curved iron rod from his arms, inserted it gently into the keyhole, and started tinkering with it.
After a moment, the cell door creaked open, and the monkey ran towards Gu Xifeng, easily untying the chains that bound Gu Xifeng.
"What's going on? Poisoned?" Seeing that Gu Xifeng was extremely weak, the monkey quickly lowered his voice and asked.
"It's mortal powder."
Monkey quickly took out a small bottle from his arms, which was the antidote to Fanren Powder. As a member of the Seven Kills Battalion, he naturally carried the antidote to Fanren Powder with him.
Gu Xifeng took the antidote and used Qigong to regain his strength.
After a cup of tea, the two of them got up and untied the brothers and sisters in the prison one by one, and handed over the antidote of Mortal Powder.
How to leave is a big problem. It is difficult for these people to break through forcefully.
"Two junior brothers, you leave first. When you get out, we will try to break out, lest the whole army is annihilated and the losses outweigh the gains." An older senior brother said in a low voice.
Gu Xifeng and Houhou nodded in agreement, said no more, and saw the opportunity to leave the prison.
The exit went very smoothly, and soon the two of them arrived at a safe place some distance away from the village.
"Monkey, I still have some things that I need to go back to. You will observe from the outside first. If anyone escapes, you will respond. If no one comes out, report the situation in the prison to Brother Jiao and the others before dawn." Gu Xifeng handed the monkey to him. He put away his own things and looked in the direction of the village.
"Why are you going back at this time? How about I go with you!"
"No, you have to stay here. If we can't get out, someone must send the information out. If Senior Brother Jiao and the others crash in like headless flies, it will be very dangerous."
"But... okay, then you must pay attention to safety." The monkey wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Gu Xifeng said made sense, so he stopped blocking him.
"Don't worry, I'm somewhat sure." Gu Xifeng smiled and rubbed the monkey's head vigorously. Before the monkey could go crazy, he was already running towards the village quickly.
"Stinky West Wind, just wait for me, I will rub your bald head when you go back this time!" the monkey said viciously, with a look of worry on his expression.
At this time, the rescued brothers and sisters had not yet appeared, and the night patrol guards were still lax and did not notice anything strange.
Gu Xifeng used the cover of darkness to sneak into the village again. His purpose was to talk to someone and change some things.
There is a house in the village with a very special location, which is the core of the village. All the buildings in the village are built around this house.
This place was originally the residence of the group of bandit leaders who had been slaughtered. Now it is self-evident that there are people living in it. There is no guard here. I think it is reasonable. If someone who can threaten the master master really comes to attack, Ordinary guards would only die in vain here.
Gu Xifeng cautiously came to the window, lowered his body, and did not dare to make a sound.
"Little brother came to visit late at night. Why don't you hide it? Come in and talk." Wu Beiwang's voice came from inside the house, but his calm tone made Gu Xifeng startled.
Gu Xifeng did not enter the room immediately. He calmed down a little, stood up and pushed the door open. Inside the room, Wu Beiwang was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His closed eyes slowly opened as Gu Xifeng entered. There were two dragons hovering above his hands. The internal strength also suddenly dissipated.
"I have offended you by disturbing Senior Wu late at night. I hope you will forgive me." Gu Xifeng stepped forward and saluted Wu Beiwang as a junior.
"Oh? You actually know my identity?" Wu Beiwang's heart moved when he heard Senior Wu's name, and he looked at Gu Xifeng with eyes full of interest as usual.
"This junior is from the Seven Killing Battalion of the Galaxy Sect, so I know all the information about the masters in the world. The two eight-edged silver dragon hammers of my senior are famous far and wide. It is not difficult to recognize my senior when I see these two magic weapons." Gu Xifeng answered in a neither humble nor overbearing tone. .
"Seven Kills Battalion. When you faced Lu Yuanzhi during the day, you should have used Baihua Kill."
"Exactly."
"You've even learned how to kill Baihua. You must be Huang Xin's disciple. This guy is usually not up to date, but the disciple he trained is quite interesting."
"Senior's guess is correct. Huang Xin is the master. Is there any relationship between the master and senior?" Although I wanted to complain when I heard Huang Xin's name, it would not be a wise move to complain about my master in such a situation.
"It's not really a friendship, it's just that we have had several interactions on the border between the two countries,"
"Although Huang Xin likes to hide in the dark and is good at low-level assassination techniques, he is an interesting person." Wu Beiwang's eyes were a little wandering, as if he was lost in memories.
Gu Xifeng was really surprised by Huang Xin's interesting statement. When Wu Beiwang stopped talking, Gu Xifeng thought carefully and found that he could not associate Huang Xin with being interesting.
The two came to their senses almost at the same time.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wu Beiwang's majestic face.
"Maybe I'm really getting older. I think of things from the past when I don't pay attention. Little brother, don't be surprised."
"No, no." Gu Xifeng also felt guilty and didn't have the confidence to speak.
"Let's get down to business, little brother, you are quite capable of escaping from prison, and you are also quite courageous when you dare to come see me after escaping." Wu Beiwang smiled, but he enveloped the grandmaster's pressure on him. Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng's expression was solemn. His own energy and blood were stimulated to the extreme, but he could only barely resist.
"Senior, this junior is here to talk to senior about something important. This matter has something to do with Jin An!" Gu Xifeng endured the pressure and spoke word by word.
"Oh? Tell me." Wu Beiwang looked at Gu Xifeng suspiciously and casually dissipated the pressure. Gu Xifeng felt his body lightened and almost fell to the ground.
Gu Xifeng took a deep breath, calmed down and said: "Senior Wu, your purpose of coming here has actually failed. We have found out that the stolen property of the Beichu caravan is here, and the news has been passed on. , In any case, the Taichu Dynasty will also retrieve these things, and by then the seniors will not only face our team from the Seven Kills Battalion."
"Senior, don't think about destroying the things. Even if you can't find the things by then, it is feasible to hand over the heads of seniors and others to Beichu."
"Are you threatening me?" Wu Beiwang looked a little ugly and glared at Gu Xifeng, which made Gu Xifeng feel nervous even if he didn't use the pressure of the grandmaster.
"The juniors are not a threat. In fact, the seniors' plan has no chance of success. Beichu itself has only been established for a short period of time. In addition, it borders the wilderness grassland. It needs heavy troops to guard the north. Although the military strength is not weak, it does not have enough external force. Capital for the battle, otherwise Taichu would not have been given one month to step down."
"The Taichu Dynasty, even if the Xinghe Sect's troops are included, is not strong among the various princes. If the two countries develop, the neighboring dynasties will look at it with eager eyes, and there is a risk of destruction at any time. Therefore, it is impossible for Beichu and Taichu to fight."
Wu Beiwang was silent. He also knew that this plan would not be easy to succeed, but after running for so many years, he could not avenge the Jin'an Dynasty. The unwillingness in his heart made him take risks, just in case it succeeded.
"I think senior must have made up his mind to die for this action, but I have news that will definitely change senior's decision." Seeing that Wu Beiwang was silent, Gu Xifeng continued to talk, preparing to show his biggest trump card.
"The analysis is very clear. Let me tell you what news can change my mind." Wu Beiwang touched his beard and motioned for Gu Xifeng to continue.
Gu Xifeng took a deep breath and continued to speak with a solemn expression.
"Senior Wu, Prince Chu Boping of Jin'an is still alive."
"What?" Wu Beiwang looked shocked. He suddenly stood up and came to Gu Xifeng, grabbing Gu Xifeng's shoulders with both hands. "Are you telling the truth? Where is the Crown Prince?"
"Everything this junior said is true. Chu Boping is in Youzhou now."
"Great, great, the prince is still alive, haha, there is still hope for Jin'an!" Wu Beiwang was as happy as a child and couldn't help laughing. He had not laughed so heartily for many years. For some reason, a child He actually believed it.
"Your Majesty Wu Huaiqing is also with the Crown Prince." Gu Xifeng dropped another bombshell news.
Wu Beiwang's laughter stopped suddenly, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.
"Father is alive too. It's good to be alive. It's good to be alive." Wu Beiwang's eyes were a little moist and he murmured. At this time, there was suddenly noisy outside, with shouts and fighting sounds.
"What did you do?" Wu Beiwang was interrupted by the voice and regained his composure.
Gu Xifeng nodded awkwardly, but Wu Beiwang said nothing more.
"Report to the commander-in-chief that the prisoner in the prison has escaped." A voice came from outside the door, it should be a messenger.
"Let the lieutenants handle it on their own. If they can't handle such small things, go and lead the army stick yourself." Wu Beiwang's voice was majestic, and the ordering soldiers immediately took the order and left.
"If I find out that what you said is false, I will find you and cut you to pieces even if you run away to the ends of the earth!" Wu Beiwang stretched out a hand, and a dragon's inner power swam in his palm, his tone was cold and threatening. Very strong.
"Senior, please rest assured that everything I said is true. I don't want to offend a master."
"Tell me where you got the news?" After hearing Gu Xifeng's reassurance, Wu Beiwang's attitude towards him softened a lot, but his heart was still full of doubts.
"It's information from the Seven Kills Battalion. I accidentally learned from Huang Xin that with the intelligence capabilities of the Seven Kills Battalion, this matter should be true." Gu Xifeng didn't want to expose himself, so he told the story he had made up long ago. come out.
"Huang Xin?" Wu Beiwang did not continue to ask, but was thoughtful.
"Senior, since this operation is doomed to fail, it is better to give up and lead the team to Youzhou to find the whereabouts of Crown Prince Jin'an. I think Chu Boping must really need this power in your hands."
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Wu Beiwang seemed unmoved.
"I have one more question."
"Senior, please tell me."
"You and I have been dealing with each other for a long time, and I still don't know the name of my little brother."
"My junior's name is Gu Xifeng."
"Gu Xifeng, Gu Xifeng, Gu..." Wu Beiwang seemed to be attracted by this name and said it several times in succession. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he figured out many things.
"Senior, listen to this junior..." Before Gu Xifeng could finish speaking, Wu Beiwang suddenly took action and hit Gu Xifeng on the back of the neck with a knife. Gu Xifeng immediately fainted.
"Not to mention whether the Xinghe Sect has the ability to grasp the crown prince's information, how could it be leaked to a child even if it obtained such information."
"At this age, you know the prince's whereabouts, and your surname is Gu. If I can't guess your identity, it would be too stupid."
"It seems that disobedience is no longer enough, haha." Wu Beiwang smiled and picked up Gu Xifeng and walked out of the room.
