The noise outside the prison also aroused the tension of the "fake guys". Xiao Yu confronted them with a knife. For a moment, both sides could do nothing to the other, and they were just frozen.
The jailer on the side had been paralyzed to the ground with fear, huddled in a corner of the cell, shivering.
There are more Hu people who have woken up and are looking at the direction of the matter with puzzled eyes.
A big man suddenly rose up and attacked Xiao Yu with a torch and a ring-shaped knife. After several rounds, he did not take any advantage and was hit by a knife. Fortunately, it was only a superficial wound.
Although he was angry, he couldn't understand how the weak-looking young man in front of him could fight with him.
He wanted to go up and fight for his life again, but was stopped by the man who called himself "Uncle Zheng Shao".
"What are you doing! He killed my eldest brother!" the big man yelled.
"Uncle Zheng Shao" ignored him, but looked back at Xiao Yu and said: "Little prince, your life and death depend on tonight. If you come with us, you may still have a glimmer of hope. If you stay here, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him again." It’s the sun tomorrow.”
Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at the small palm-sized window, and said helplessly: "If you stay here, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."
"I'm not joking."
"I don't have time to joke with you either."
"Uncle Zheng Shao" stopped the man and became reckless again, shouting: "Don't stop me, I must take off his head today to worship my brother."
"I will stay with you until the end." Xiao Yu did not show weakness.
"Uncle Zheng Shao" had no choice but to comfort his companions: "A little impatience will ruin a big plan. We don't have time to waste it here. Let's go first. Even if we don't take care of him, Taicheng probably won't let him live until tomorrow morning." , take Wu Niu, let’s go!”
"Uncle Zheng Shao" gave Xiao Yu a cold look. He said no more and turned to leave.
The big man who threatened to kill Xiao Yu had eyes full of hatred. He carried his brother who had died of intestinal piercing and rotting his stomach and followed him. The other big men in costumes walked at the end.
They walked without panic, and seemed not to take the people outside too seriously at all.
Seeing them leaving, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, threw the Huanshou knife to the ground, and slumped down on the couch.
It was getting more and more noisy outside, but his mind was not disturbed. He just vaguely felt that he might be in a bad situation tonight.
He recalled what "Uncle Zheng Shao" said, and he really wanted to go with them, but he had already refused, so why should he follow them again?
Xiao Yu scratched his head and turned his head, just in time to see the jailer still hiding in the corner motionless.
The shackles on Xiao Yu's body had just been removed. He didn't want to be put on again, so he asked: "The shackles are too heavy. It's okay if you don't wear them! You should have the final say on this!"
The jailer regained his composure a little and nodded quickly: "If the young prince stays here peacefully, he doesn't need to be shackles."
"Thanks then." Xiao Yu smiled.
He turned back again, and this time he saw She Quli holding on to the iron railing and looking at him worriedly.
He smiled at the barbarian child and waved his hand quickly.
"Go, go, go...Children, what are you looking at here? Go back to sleep."
This time She Quli was obedient and went back to the pile of rotten hay and fell asleep.
It was noisy outside, but it seemed extremely quiet inside the prison.
Xiao Yu sat with his chin in his hands, waiting for what would happen next.
At this time, the iron door of the prison was kicked open again, and this time two rows of guards came in.
They were divided into two lines, guarding both sides of the cell corridor.
A bloated eunuch walked straight in under the guidance of an official wearing a soap-colored official uniform.
"What happened just now? That's from that yamen. What are you doing here at night?" the eunuch said dissatisfiedly as he walked away.
The official laughed and said, "I am here to accompany a nobleman. I don't know. I'll ask the people below later... I'll ask the people below later."
The eunuch seemed dissatisfied with this answer and snorted.
They also came towards the cell where Xiao Yu was located. When they walked forward and saw that the cell door was open, they were all surprised.
Looking inside, I saw a young man in night clothes sitting in front of the couch, with all the shackles on his body thrown to the ground.
The eunuch and the official walked into the cell. The eunuch glanced at Xiao Yu, then looked around, sniffed and said, "What's the smell? How can the prince be locked up here at will?"
The official looked attentive and bent down to say yes. He saw a jailer in the prison. Although he was doubtful, he still winked and told him to leave quickly.
The jailer, as if he had been granted amnesty, bowed deeply and left in a hurry.
There were no outsiders here. The eunuch looked Xiao Yu up and down again and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really good, it's him."
Xiao Yu also looked up and down at the eunuch, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Suddenly, he finally remembered that the eunuch's surname was Zhou. The night his soul came to this world, it was he who had ordered him to be brought into Jiankang Palace, and it was he who ordered people to pour cold water on him.
The Zhou Neiguan still looked aloof, and he said expressionlessly: "Young prince, come out and follow me!"
"where to?"
"Stay somewhere else!"
"Aren't you going to kill me tonight?"
The Zhou Neiguan narrowed his eyes: "You can see what I brought, Bai Ling, poison, or a dagger?"
"Then I can't die tonight." Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who wants the young prince to die? What bold servant dares to talk nonsense." Zhou Neiguan said and turned around, "Yuan Tingwei, hurry up and complete the handover procedures. The emperor's orders are on your side, and our family must go back early to deliver the work."
Tingwei Qing Yuan Shu hurriedly bent down to agree. He also glanced at Xiao Yu quietly, more out of curiosity about this young prince who was rumored to be miraculous in Jiankang City.
The procedure was not difficult. In less than half a stick of incense, soldiers from the Imperial Guard came to lead Xiao Yu away.
Before leaving, he put the shackles on Xiao Yu again, but at this time, Xiao Yu felt temporarily at ease.
As he walked in the corridor of the prison, no one saw him off, including the little Hu boy She Quli who he had always been thinking about.
But when he walked out of the iron door of the prison, he faintly heard someone humming softly inside. It seemed that it was another elegy that only barbarians could understand.
In the open space outside the Tingwei Department Prison, a prison car covered with black curtains was waiting there, and there were more than a hundred Imperial Guard soldiers and palace guards guarding the prison car.
Among them were several well-dressed men who had besieged him at Chaogou Pier last night, and there were also two familiar faces who had crossed paths with him during the day.
Xiao Yu glanced at them, and they bowed slightly to show respect.
Xiao Yu was about to ask them a few questions when he was suddenly stopped.
I just heard the Zhou Neiguan say in a long voice: "Little prince, get in the car!"
