Chapter 28 Prison City (3)

The group ran along the corridor. The corridor was extremely narrow and long, and curved and coiled. After that, several narrow doors blocked the road, but they were all covered and not closed. Everyone passed by one by one, then went around two more bends and reached the end of the corridor. There was a stone stairs that were obliquely upward, and there was a small platform about a meter square at the top of the stone stairs.

There are lights and cases on the platform, and there are several coarse things, which seem to be a place for guards to rest. On the opposite side of the stone steps, there is a door about a foot thick, wrapped in iron sheets and embedded with copper nails. Everyone remembers clearly that you can reach the outside world by passing this door.

On both sides of the door, there were air windows about a foot square on each side of the ground, and the light from the outside was shining in through the air window. Perhaps because it was almost dusk, the sun was leaping bright red, falling into the eyes of everyone, and it seemed indescribable warmth and intimacy, and the tension just now disappeared a lot.

The door was not bolted, and it seemed to open as soon as it was pushed. Chen Jin wanted to push the door without hesitation, but was stopped by Lu Yao: "Don't act rashly. If it was absolutely necessary, I don't want everyone to be regarded as a criminal who took prison by King Xincai."

He pointed to the air window and waved his hand and said, "Go up to two people and take a look at the situation first."

"good!"

Chen Jin was tall and stood under the air window immediately. He Yun helped out for a few steps, jumped up on Chen Jin's shoulders, climbed up the window ridge of the air window with both hands, and looked out. The light outside the window shone on He Yun's face, illuminating his expression in detail. Everyone saw that He Yun's face instantly lost blood and turned pale.

"What's going on?" Lu Yao asked.

He Yun jumped down to the ground and said tremblingly: "Die! All dead... In the yard outside, all the jailers and guards were dead, and their bodies were piled up all over the ground!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked, and several people climbed up the window to watch.

"Is someone robbing the prison?"

"How could such a thing be possible? This is Yecheng!"

"How do you explain the corpses on the outside?"

Everyone whispered a few times in surprise, but they didn't agree.

"I'll do it!" Zhu Sheng climbed up to the air window.

The air window was too small after all, and the walls of the dungeon were thick. Zhu Sheng looked out. In fact, the field of vision was very narrow, and he could only see a corner of the courtyard. But the next moment, he lost his balance as if he was suddenly hit by something and fell to the ground.

The ground in the prison was covered with bluestone strips more than one foot wide, extremely hard. If the back of the head was knocked straight, I would be afraid of life on the spot. Fortunately, Lu Yao and his group were crowded with thirty people, crowded on the platform, and Zhu Sheng's fall brought down several people, but they were not injured.

"What's going on? Are you in a bad mood?" Ding Miao pulled Zhu Sheng's arm and pulled him up.

"It's not that you are possessed by evil spirits... fight, fight, fight!" Zhu Sheng shook his head suddenly, pulled Ding Miao's clothes, and shouted loudly: "Outside! Yecheng! Killing sounds are everywhere, and the war is coming!"

He gulped and swallowed dryly: "It's a big battle! An enemy army launched a large-scale attack on Yecheng!"

There seemed to be a gust of evil wind blowing through the corridor, which was the sound of dozens of people pumping in the air. Ding Miao couldn't help but let go, and Zhu Shengdong fell to the ground.

Everyone understands how powerful Zhu Sheng is, and it is the most reliable. He said that there is an enemy in Yecheng, so he will never be wrong. The question is, where did the enemy come from? Could it be the Huns? It is impossible! If it weren't for the Huns, where would it be? There was nothing wrong with noon today. It was not yet night, but the enemy was broken through the defense of Yecheng, which was deep in the walls and ponds... This is simply a matter of general situation! What is even more urgent is: if there are enemies in the city, what should we do? Should we fight out of the city? Or hide here and wait for the situation to stabilize?

Countless questions circling in their minds, but no one has any clues.

Lu Yao tried his best to maintain a calm posture, but although he showed a hint of anxiety in his expression, he did not seem particularly panic. He pressed the iron gate with one hand and occasionally pushed the door, but the door didn't move at all.

"This is a serious criminal prison in Yedu Prison City. Its facilities are not only guarding against external harassment, but also guarding against prisoners inside to cause chaos. Therefore, the door can be locked on both sides of the door. Obviously, the door latch on the outside is intact." Lu Yao tried again, but it was still useless. He turned to Xue Tong and said, "This door is extremely solid and I am afraid it cannot be opened forcibly. Lao Xue, come and try... Note that the situation in the outside world is unclear at this moment, do not make too loud noises and put yourself in danger."

Xue Tong responded to the sound, pressed her arms across the door, and repeatedly hit her. His clenchymal force was much stronger than Lu Yao. When he was performing martial arts in his own military camp in Jinyang, he could easily shake several people by earthquake. But the door was still motionless.

"Look!" Chu Kun's eyes were sharp and found several iron bars with feet as thick as forearms in the corner of the wall. The iron bars were extremely heavy and would require at least three or five big men to barely move.

"The one I used here actually had an iron door latch..." Everyone's face was like earth. They were using such door latches, which could not be forced to be broken by humans in any case, unless they were siege weapons such as rushing cars were used.

There was a dead silence in the corridor.

The situation outside is dangerous, but trapped in this prison is even more dangerous. If no one cares about it, just not drinking water and food is enough to force everyone to death. If someone cares about it... the person who comes is an enemy or a friend, who can guarantee it? But this iron gate is difficult to deal with, and the group is blocked from it, and there is no way!

Lu Yao suddenly took a deep breath and took the oil lamp in his hand: "You guys are here to wait. I'll come."

"Daoming! You want to..." Xue Tong shouted, Lu Yao ignored him and disappeared at the end of the dark corridor.

Through the long and winding corridor, heading down the road and back along the original path.

He walked around two of them first, then passed several narrow doors and went deeper into the ground step by step, and then came to the prison where Lu Yao and others were originally imprisoned. Lu Yao kept walking and continued to move forward. As he moved forward, the oil lamp in his hand emitted a dim halo, and the shadows illuminated the deepest part of the prison where someone had just smiled strangely.

There is also a prison room, with an area similar to where Lu Yao and others are located, and is also separated by an iron bar. However, the terrain here is even lower, and the water in the prison room is about a foot deep. As far as you see, the water is sticky and turbid, extremely dirty, and a rotten stench hits your face. Looking deeper, the light of the oil lamp is limited after all, and I don’t know where the laughter just now is hiding.

Lu Yao groped through the wall, found a proper groove, placed the oil lamp steadily, and then turned around and left. When he came back, he used more cloth ropes to curl the iron bars in his hand, and everyone left the prison and left the cloth ropes.

Lu Yao didn't speak, but just wrapped the cloth rope back and forth on the iron grille, and then tucked it into it with a wooden stick, and began to move. His behavior was the same as before. When the iron grille gradually deformed in the strange sound of teeth, he made a gap enough for people to enter and exit, he untied the cloth rope, retreated half a step, and bowed to the prison.

The people in the prison did not respond. Lu Yao was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.

It seemed that after a long time, a sigh came from the darkness where the field of vision was not enough: "Ah..." The sigh was low and dull. Although the breath was brisk, it seemed to contain deep desolation and sorrow.

Lu Yao bowed again: "Please give me some advice."

"Instructions? Haha, what are you trying to give me?" Someone rushes to the bottom of the prison, showing that the man seemed a little excited.

"Yedu prison city is tight, and we are hindered from our progress. I beg you to give me some advice." Lu Yao said in a deep voice.

"Hahahaha... nonsense! Absurd! If I could give you some advice, how could I be locked in this and tortured by this endless pain?" The words and breathing of the man in the prison were mixed together. His lungs were like a broken old bellows, and hissing sounds were heard as he sucked and spit.

"Just now, I twisted the iron fence with my wet clothes. Your horror was extremely intense..." The man in the prison suddenly laughed strangely, and Lu Yao's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "So I took the liberty to guess that you had the skill of escape, but was restricted by the iron fence and was finally not realized. Now the iron fence has been opened, and you will be free from escape. If there is a wonderful method, please use it."

Such reasoning seems reluctant no matter how you think about it, but Lu Yao just said it.
