At three o'clock in the ugly hour, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, Li Qi sneakily emerged from the inn alley and looked around.
After making sure that no one was around, he got a piece of black cloth from nowhere and covered his face.
After a while, he entered another alley, walked around and came to the door of a house. After knocking on the door gently, a man emerged from inside.
This person is none other than Zhuo Kunyu, the head guard of Prince Jiang's Mansion.
"Brother Zhuo." Li Qi pulled off the black cloth from his face and raised his eyebrows.
When Zhuo Kunyu saw it was Li Qi, he quickly let him in and said, "Brother Li, you are finally here."
"I was a little unfamiliar on the road, so I wasted some time." Li Qi said.
Zhuo Kunyu nodded, took him into the inner room, took out a set of night clothes and handed them to Li Qi: "You put this on."
Li Qi took it over and took a look, and found that this dress was tailor-made for him, and the size was very suitable.
"Brother Zhuo, what exactly does the prince want me to do?" Li Qi asked.
During the day, Jiang Yuxiu sent a letter to Li Qi, asking him to come here to find Zhuo Kunyu when he was ugly. He didn't say anything about it, so he is still confused until now.
Zhuo Kunyu smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Li, don't be in a hurry, you will know in a moment. As long as you follow me, I will arrange everything."
It's so mysterious, I don't know what it's doing.
After getting ready, the two of them left the house and walked along the deserted street directly to the Yamen.
Zhuo Kunyu walked to the door and opened it with a slight push.
Immediately afterwards, he walked in with Li Qi as if he were going home.
When he arrived at the door of the cell with ease, Zhuo Kunyu took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Li Qi: "The people from the Heroes Association are all locked up inside. You will go in and release them all. When you come out, leave through the North City Gate."
Hearing this, Li Qi finally understood.
After a long time, it turned out that he was asked to come over to rob the prison?
It’s just that the traces of water release are too obvious, right?
There isn’t a single guard in the entire Yamen?
Seemingly sensing Li Qi's thoughts, Zhuo Kunyu waved to the darkness, and instantly a group of officers and soldiers appeared out of nowhere, each with weapons in their hands, surrounding the two of them.
Li Qi was startled, then saw Zhuo Kunyu pat his shoulder: "Don't worry, we are all our own."
Before Li Qi could say anything, the people around him drew their weapons and started fighting each other. The fighting was exaggerated.
The movement was small, but the sound of shouts and weapons clashing was deafening.
"Ouch! There's an assassin!"
"Someone is robbing the prison! Someone come quickly!"
In just a few breaths, the entire prison entrance was bustling with activity and shouts could be heard all the time.
Zhuo Kunyu nodded to Li Qi and motioned for him to rescue people.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qi couldn't help but feel a little funny.
When they rushed into the cell, they saw that everyone from the Heroes Club was locked inside. Song Longping and Liu Zhengqi frowned when they saw a man in black coming in.
Li Qi pulled off the black cloth from his mask and waved to the two of them: "Palace Master Song, Hall Master Liu."
Seeing it was Li Qi, the two of them were startled. Song Longping was the first to speak: "Master Li? Why are you here?"
"It's a long story, let's get out of here quickly."
Li Qi said and opened the cell door of Song Longping and Liu Zhengqi with the key.
In total, five or six people were detained, and they were all released at this time.
"Are you alone?" Song Longping asked when he saw that there was no one else behind Li Qi.
"I also have a friend who helped me hold off the officers and soldiers outside. Let's leave quickly."
When everyone rushed out of the cell, they were stunned to see many officers and soldiers lying on the ground.
Looking at the southeast corner, a man in black was fighting with several officers and soldiers.
Seeing this, the people from the Heroes Association wanted to go up and help, but Li Qi grabbed him: "Let's go first, he can handle it."
Immediately after, everyone came out of the Yamen and followed Li Qi to the North City Gate.
"Strange, why is there no one guarding the North City Gate tonight?" someone muttered.
Hearing this, Li Qi said, "I've prepared it in advance, so hurry up."
After leaving the city and walking a few miles, we came to a ruined temple.
Everyone was tired, so they lit a fire in the ruined temple and sat around the fire.
"I think this is inappropriate." Liu Zhengqi said at this time.
Li Qi asked: "What does Hall Master Liu mean by this?"
"Although we were detained by the prefect, the specific matter has not yet been determined. But now that we have escaped from prison, it may be different by then." Liu Zhengqi said.
Speaking of this, everyone looked at Li Qi, as if asking him to give an explanation.
Li Qi is also confused now and has no idea what Jiang Yuxiu's arrangements are.
"Do you think, Hall Master Liu, that I'm unnecessary in saving everyone?" Li Qi pretended to be cold and said, "If you feel that I shouldn't come to save you, you can go back."
Song Longping said: "That's not what Hall Master Liu meant. Master, please don't be angry."
"Then what does he mean?" Li Qi asked.
Liu Zhengqi wanted to say something, but held back.
Everyone spent the night in the dilapidated temple that night. The next morning, before Li Qi woke up, he heard waves of discussion.
After waking up, he saw Song Longping sitting next to him, looking at him with a strange look, as if he had something to say.
Li Qi took a look around and found that Liu Zhengqi's group was gone, leaving only three people from Song Longping's side.
"Palace Master Song, where are the others?" Li Qi asked, rubbing his eyes.
Song Longping glanced at Li Qi, sighed and said: "Master, we are in big trouble this time."
"kindness?"
"After you rescued us last night, the government issued a wanted order early this morning. In one morning, all the brothers from the Qunying Club who stayed in Su City were arrested," Song Longping said.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "How could that happen?"
"People from the government said that we colluded with gangsters, killed Yu Bozuo, and operated illegally in Sioux City..."
Song Longping listed a bunch of crimes at once, and he wanted to incriminate them as soon as he heard them.
Li Qi didn't realize what he was doing. What was Jiang Yuxiu doing?
Didn’t he ask me to sing the oboe with him?
Why is there something wrong with the painting style?
"What about Hall Master Liu?" Li Qi asked.
"He went to see the prefect..."
"Isn't this tantamount to throwing himself into a trap?"
Song Longping smiled bitterly and said: "He left with his people in the middle of the night. I didn't know about it until the morning."
Li Qi couldn't help but think deeply, what exactly did Jiang Yuxiu want to do?
Could it be that he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Thinking of this, Li Qi swallowed, and his heart felt a lot colder.
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that you are still counting money for others after being sold?
No, we have to find a way to figure out the situation.
Li Qi stood up and was about to leave, but Song Longping stopped him: "Master, where are you going?"
"I have to go back."
"You can't go back now. People from the Heroes Association are being wanted all over the city. I have already sent a letter to the chief rudder. Before there is news from the chief rudder, we should not act rashly." Song Longping said.
