After that, Lu Xiaofeng told Huamanlou what he saw on the road, and Huamanlou also told him that he and Lao Bu had taken care of everything and would submit official documents tomorrow to meet the new king of Jintong Kingdom.
"The most important thing right now is to rescue all the trapped people first. After all, we are friendly countries. I think no matter what, their attitude will not be too bad."
Hua Man Lou still holds a relatively optimistic attitude.
"I'm going to explore the prison here tonight, and I'll also pay attention to see if Brother Hua Wu and the others are imprisoned."
"Okay, then I'll stay here to guard you. If anything happens, I can take care of you."
After the two of them discussed the night's activities in whispers, Lu Xiaofeng poked the rusty sword and asked: "Chu Qi, wake up quickly. We have activities tonight. I'm going to visit the prison department at night. Flower Manlou." Staying just in case, who are you going to follow?”
Chu Qi, who was woken up by the poke, rubbed her eyes sleepily. After understanding the content of the event, she immediately chose Lu Xiaofeng.
Is there any need to think about staying and dozing off in front of Hua Manlou’s face or going crazy with Lu Xiaofeng in Mario?
She immediately became energetic: "I choose a big adventure!"
The sound coming from the rusty sword was loud, but it did not prevent the people in the room from hearing it clearly. After receiving the response, Lu Xiaofeng's eyebrows were full of joy and she said:
"But you are wearing red clothes at night. Isn't it too conspicuous? Otherwise, don't turn into a human. I think you are more suitable for our infiltration work as you are now."
"I don't! If you are discovered, I will immediately transform into a rusty sword and let you be caught alone."
"On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month - if you treat me like this when we are friends, do you still have any conscience?"
"I'm just a sword, of course I have no conscience."
…
The quarrel between one person and one sword started again. Hua Manlou sat aside, listening to Lu Xiaofeng's frustration at first with interest, but then his smile faded slightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt as if he was being excluded.
In the dead of night, when people were more exposed, Lu Xiaofeng was sneaking into the night with a rusty sword on his back, carefully avoiding the patrolling guards.
Bickering is bickering. After all, Chu Qi is not someone who can't tell the difference between priorities. She is well aware of the danger of Lu Xiaofeng's trip, so she still maintains the form of the rusty sword after going out to reduce his burden.
When they arrived at the Prison Department, Lu Xiaofeng skillfully climbed over the wall and climbed up to the eaves in a few steps. Her movements were light and agile like a cat.
Quickly knocking out the jailer guarding the cell door, Lu Xiaofeng dragged him to a dark place and put on his clothes. With a bunch of keys hooked on his finger, he entered the prison door with a brisk step and jingle.
As usual, there were two jailers patrolling the door. However, when Lu Xiaofeng entered, they were leaning on chairs and dozing off. After being awakened by the movement, they just squinted their eyes and looked at it. When they noticed that they were familiar clothes, they muttered questions in the local dialect. He said: "Come for a checkup?"
"yes."
Fortunately, he has recently learned a lot of Western dialects from Lao Bu. Lu Xiaofeng is also very talented and can learn every sentence. He happened to remember this sentence, so he did not even pause and continued to move forward calmly, without arousing any suspicion. The two jailors who responded smacked their mouths, turned their heads and fell asleep again.
Lu Xiaofeng inspected the prison and found with satisfaction that there was no trace of Huazhaolou. However, there was also no trace of the "sand thieves" he had sent before. So, before leaving, he walked around again. A jailer woke up and asked in a low voice: "Where are the prisoners sent during the day?"
The jailer was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyelids and replied in a daze: "He died in the afternoon and was just sent to a mass grave."
"Sure enough...I knew there was something wrong!"
Leaving the sleepy jailer behind, Lu Xiaofeng quickly walked out of the prison. After changing the clothes of the gatekeeper and moving him back to pretend to be asleep on the spot, he was about to return to the inn to discuss with Huamanlou about going there tomorrow. Looking for the location of the mass grave, he suddenly heard Chu Qi’s low voice reminding him.
"Lu Xiaofeng, listen quickly."
It was the sound of wheels sliding on the ground, and the sound of men breathing heavily.
He immediately turned up the wall, lay on the eaves and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a rickety figure pushing a cart slowly towards the back door. There seemed to be something heavy on the cart, which made him It was extremely hard to push.
"There are a lot of corpses piled on the car," Chu Qi said.
Suddenly something that looked like an arm fell down from the car. Lu Xiaofeng heard the man pushing the cart say something bitterly - maybe it was a curse word - and then he stopped the car, walked forward and bent down to pick up the thing again. Get up and throw it back to the car with all your strength.
The strong smell of blood was carried by the night wind.
Chu Qi and Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking.
