Hearing the noise coming from outside the prison, Tang Ji suddenly raised his head: "What's going on? Didn't you say there's time for a stick of incense?"
The four soldiers in front of the iron gate and the two people sitting at the table also responded quickly to check the situation inside the cell.
"Old Song, is everything okay in there?" Lao Cheng shouted into the dark and damp passage.
But the next second, a sharp blade cut his neck.
The other five people also fell to the ground before they had time to react.
Lao Cheng covered his neck with one hand, staring at Song Hui in front of him in disbelief, his body slowly sinking: "Why, why?"
"I am a defender of Yingzhou, not a soldier of his Beidu Palace. I can't do the rebellion. I'm sorry, Lao Cheng." Song Hui's eyes were firm, but a look of sadness appeared on his face. When the other party collapsed, After he died, he reached out and covered his eyes.
Su Qing didn't have time to worry about that, so she walked quickly back to Shen Chonglin's cell: "Tang Ji, let's leave quickly!"
Tang Ji nodded, put away the token in his hand, and said, "General Shen, we will come to rescue you!"
After saying that, he planned to leave with Su Qing, but was stopped by Shen Chonglin's words.
"Wait a minute, the Yingzhou County Yamen is heavily guarded. Now that you have been discovered, it will be difficult to get out. Break this cell. I am already dying and have suffered enough humiliation. If I can help you, it can be considered It's worth dying." Shen Chonglin spoke very slowly, but his tone was extremely firm.
Su Qing shook her head: "Master Hou, if you hold on for a while, then..."
But before he finished speaking, Shen Chonglin suddenly raised his voice: "Do I want the old man to beg you?"
This hoarse voice seemed to tear people's hearts apart, making Tang Ji's skin crawl. He looked at the other party with both sadness and admiration.
Su Qing took a deep breath, struggled internally for a few seconds, then raised her hand and struck hard, directly cutting off the chain on the door.
Immediately, the two quickly entered the cell. Tang Ji wanted to help Shen Chonglin up, but the latter's body was tightly bound by chains. He had no choice but to raise his eyes and look at Su Qing: "Old Su!"
Su Qing nodded and tried his best to cut at the iron chain that bound Shen Chonglin's right hand. Unexpectedly, the knife cut out gaps, but the iron chain did not move at all. He gritted his teeth and tried a few more times. .
Tang Ji's face was also full of shock. A top-notch master's full blow could not cut through this broken chain?
Shen Chonglin's chapped lips slightly opened: "Don't waste your energy. Li Wenquan made this specially for me. Unless you reach the master level, it can't be broken. Just cut off the iron buckle on the wall. And The chain wrapping my body should be broken easily."
Hearing this, Su Qing had no choice but to follow the instructions, destroying the iron buckles on the walls on both sides, freeing Shen Chonglin's limbs, and then working with Tang Ji to untie the iron chains that tied him.
Looking at Shen Chonglin, whose limbs were tied with thick and long iron chains, Tang Ji said anxiously: "But it won't be convenient for you to move like this!"
"That's enough!" Shen Chonglin replied casually, then locked his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and said, "Without further delay, I will send you out!"
Just like that, the three of them stepped out of the cell.
Song Hui, who was standing waiting at the iron gate, was about to go in when he heard a crisp friction sound. He was about to go in and take a look, but found that they had already walked out. After seeing Shen Chonglin's figure clearly, he was startled at first, and then knelt down. Kneeling down: "I have seen the general!"
Shen Chonglin nodded silently: "Kill out!"
"Yes!" Song Hui responded, and he and Ding Xinrong went to the front to clear the way.
At this moment, Zhao Wujing, who was originally stationed outside, also rushed in with his people. He could clearly see what was going on inside through the dim candlelight, and suddenly showed an angry look: "You actually dare to come to Yingzhou County Government Office to rob the prison. You are really brave. If that’s the case, then just stay here!”
After saying that, he waved his hands: "Give it to me!"
The nearly twenty soldiers raised their swords and rushed forward quickly.
"Old Su!" Tang Ji turned to look at Su Qing.
The latter naturally knew the agreement with Tang Ji, held a long knife in his hand, no longer held back, turned into a black shadow and rushed forward.
"Shadowless·Silent Killing"
Su Qing was best at sharp swords, so she turned the long sword in her hand into a sword. The sword was like a light, and touched the vital parts of these officers and soldiers like a dragonfly. In just the blink of an eye, everyone on the other side fell to the ground.
Zhao Wujing, who was standing at the back, was already thinking about how to ask for credit. Unexpectedly, this scene would appear. Looking at the corpses on the ground, he suddenly felt timid. He took two steps back, then ran out of the cell. , praying in his heart that the other party cannot catch up with him.
Little did he know that Su Qing had already set his sights on him, so he jumped up and chased after him.
Zhao Wujing knew that he could not escape, but he would not sit still and wait for death. He turned around and took out the sword from his waist, gritted his teeth and started fighting with the opponent: "I will fight with you!"
"He is indeed the son of Su Ling. In time, he will become a great general who governs the country." A smile appeared on Shen Chonglin's pale old face, and then he took a step forward and continued to walk forward, not forgetting to say a few words to Tang Ji who was following him. He said: "After leaving in a while, you can run away without worrying about my life or death. After the imperial army breaks through Yingzhou, you can set up a grave for me on the flower hill outside the northern suburbs of the city, and just bring a few taels of wine with you."
Tang Ji had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he had just met this old general, he could feel the arrogance and loyalty in his bones. He nodded slowly: "I understand."
Not long after, as Su Qing's sword fell, Zhao Wujing lost his breath.
Everyone quickly rushed to the death cell door. As their vision gradually became clearer, the originally blurry firelight turned into officers and soldiers holding torches.
Tang Ji was glad that he and Su Qing had covered their faces just now, otherwise they would have been easily recognized if the King of Beidu conducted a thorough investigation tomorrow.
Song Hui walked at the front of the crowd and quickly reminded: "The door is locked!"
At this moment, a man wearing copper-colored armor stood outside the door. Seeing the figure inside approaching, he smiled and said: "Master Marquis, I didn't expect someone to risk their own lives to rescue you. It's a pity that they will die soon." In front of you!"
"Zhou Huan!" Shen Chonglin roared, then took a few steps forward, waved his right hand, and saw the long and thick iron chain suddenly flew out, directly knocking open the locked iron door, and then took a step forward Rushed out.
When a few people walked out of the death cell, they found that the surrounding plains were filled with soldiers. There were hundreds of them in total, half of them were archers.
Shen Chonglin had no ink marks and ordered behind him: "You two, hurry up!"
"General Shen, let's go out together!" Su Qing gripped the long knife tightly.
"Get out of here!" Shen Chonglin roared again, and then said: "I have done everything I need to account for. I don't have long to live. I will be satisfied if I can do something for you and the court. Get out of here!" !”
"None of you can leave!" Zhou Huan showed a sneer on his hawkish face, raised his hand and ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
Hearing this, the archers tightened their bowstrings.
Su Qing gritted her teeth and stopped insisting. She grabbed Tang Ji's shoulder and flew towards the side of the death row.
Seeing that the two were about to escape, many archers immediately changed their direction and then let go of their hands.
"Hey~"
For a moment, arrows rained from the sky chasing the two of them, but they were cut off by an iron chain that suddenly rushed out halfway.
Seeing this, Zhou Huan showed an angry face, stared at Shen Chonglin, and ordered: "Shoot this old immortal to death!"
In an instant, all the archers aimed at Shen Chonglin again.
"Zhou Huan, you deserve to die!" Shen Chonglin gritted his teeth and roared in the sky. A little light flashed in his dark eyes, and his whole body seemed to have regained a little color. Seeing countless arrows coming towards him, he suddenly raised his head Both arms and the two iron chains moved accordingly, waving in the air in a circle, and finally blocked all the arrows.
"It's because you don't know how to praise yourself. Since you are no longer relevant, let me, the general, give you a horse!" A wicked smile appeared on Zhou Huan's face, and he raised his hand and ordered: "Give it to me!"
In an instant, soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons rushed forward.
"General Shen, we are here to help you!"
After Song Hui finished speaking, he and Ding Xinrong rushed forward.
In this way, three people and hundreds of people started fighting.
On the roof not far away, the short man blinked and said, "Is the old man planning to fight to the death?"
"Well, it's the sign of dying." Qilin replied in a deep voice, holding the long sword in his arms.
Hearing this, the former sighed and continued: "Tell me, why are you just joining in the fun? Is this going to cost someone a life?"
"Didn't you say it was too simple?" Qilin asked back.
"Hey, why are you still blaming me!" the short man said dissatisfied.
Qilin did not quarrel with him anymore, but turned to look at the fighting in the distance and murmured: "Besides, he is a battle-hardened general. It is better to let him die in the battle than to be tortured to death in that dark cage." Okay?"
