In the prison, Gao Zhen was sitting on the wooden bed with a calm face, but the slight curl of his fingers still revealed his nervousness.
He was a little scared. He thought, "If I had just drank that bowl of porridge, would there be no way to see A Luo?"
There was a sound at the door of the cell. Gao Zhen turned his head and looked. He was confused at first, and then shocked. He quickly got out of bed and came to the door.
"Luochen, how did you get in?" Gao Zhen asked eagerly.
Luo Chen looked around and whispered: "I took advantage of them to change defenses, knocked out a guard, and came in after changing clothes. But their guards were all old people and they all knew each other. I couldn't stay long. I'll make a long story short.
Young Master, please do not eat any food sent from the prison. After today, when the court starts, you can be interrogated to the Ministry of Punishment, and everything will be safe."
"Okay, I understand." Gao Zhen replied.
There were rapid footsteps not far away. Luo Chen took a look, lowered his voice again and said, "Master asked me to tell you, don't be afraid."
The sound of footsteps approaching was that of a patrolling guard. Luo Chen did not dare to wait any longer, turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness.
Gao Zhen whispered to himself, "Don't be afraid."
In Jin's mansion, the news of the failed assassination had been learned from the spies. Jin Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "You can escape in this way."
"Father, what should we do now?" Jin Zijue asked.
Jin Zhuo made a quick decision and ordered: "A hard attack."
Jin Zijue said "Ah", puzzled, "Father, really, do you really want to do this? Your Majesty will blame you..."
"Stupid." Jin Zhuo cursed, "Why do you think His Majesty imprisoned Gao Zhen in Imperial Prison instead of the Ministry of Punishment? Our Majesty doesn't want Gao Zhen to live. Otherwise, do you really think that Imperial Prison is really
Can you be so lax as to let people in and poison you?"
The eldest princess said: "But, last night you also said that Your Majesty will not pass the throne to my son."
Jin Zhuo nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty will not pass the throne to someone from my Jin family, but he will not pass it on to Gao Zhen. That is ironclad evidence that he killed his brother to seize the throne."
After saying this, Jin Zhuo asked: "Where is Ziji, why didn't he come?"
The eldest princess coughed and said, "Zi Ji, he, he is unwell."
Jin Zhuo snorted, "They are all your sons, can't you treat them equally?"
"I, I didn't." The eldest princess wanted to continue explaining, but Jin Zhuo interrupted her, "Forget it, I don't want to worry about it. It's already noon now, and we don't have much chance."
Jin Zijue asked: "My father said that we will attack by force, but we cannot use the Jin family's soldiers, and we cannot go in person. My father, please make it clear so that my son can make arrangements."
"It will be too late when you make arrangements." Jin Zhuo said, "This time, there are several martial arts masters who are returning to Beijing with me. I arranged for them to go to prison early to prevent the poisoning from happening."
"So at this time, they have already taken action?" Jin Zijue asked.
"You don't need to worry about this." Jin Zhuo didn't want to explain the matter of the martial arts master, and then ordered, "You still need to do one thing now."
"My father ordered me."
"Although I have sent someone out secretly for the poisoned pawn, you should kill him without leaving any clues." Jin Zhuo said.
"yes."
After Jin Zijue left the house, he fell into Qin Shu's surveillance range. He followed Jin Zijue and rode a fast horse out of the city.
In the princess's palace, Luo Qingzhi was still waiting for news and was already a little worried, but she could not openly defy the imperial edict and leave the palace.
"Your Highness, someone has delivered a letter to the concierge."
Luo Qingzhi took the letter and quickly opened it. There was a short sentence inside.
"Jin Zhuo returns home, and there are martial arts people traveling with him."
Luo Qingzhi pondered the meaning of this sentence, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized it.
"Hurry and prepare your horses."
His subordinates stopped him, "Your Highness, you cannot leave the house without an edict."
Luo Qingzhi didn't give any explanation, put on her big cloak and left the house through the back door.
In the prison, Luo Chen was already fighting with someone, but what was strange was that no guards came to check on such a big movement.
Although Luo Chen was good at martial arts, it was difficult to resist one against five. Luo Chen said to Gao Zhen: "Second Young Master, I will block them, you find a way to leave."
Gao Zhen was already very anxious, but his mind was very clear, "No, I'm afraid I haven't left the prison yet. As long as I leave this prison area, I will be killed. Even if I get out by luck, then I will really be a fugitive."
Luo Chen also understood and stopped trying to persuade him, but in a daze, he was hit with a palm on his left shoulder.
Gao Zhen was in the cell and Luo Chen was outside the cell. Gao Zhen had no way to help him and could only watch Luo Chen resist the attack alone.
Gao Zhen shouted loudly and said, "Go away, Mr. Luo, and leave me alone. This lock is so strong that they won't be able to open it for a while."
"No." Luo Chen was kicked again and blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth, "Master ordered me to protect you."
"Damn it." Luo Chen scolded angrily, "It seems that we are going to end here today. Second Young Master, if you have a chance, you must tell the master that I, Luo Chen, have not flinched, not even a step."
"I've seen it." Luo Qingzhi came with a sword.
"master!"
"Arlo!"
Both of them were a little happy. Luo Qingzhi threw the other sword to Luo Chen and said, "Pay more attention."
The addition of Luo Qingzhi turned the situation around a bit, but the five people on the opposite side were all top-notch masters. Even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn't really suppress them.
The situation was stagnant, and the opponent also stopped their offensive and did not continue to attack, but Luo Qingzhi did not dare to act rashly.
Luo Qingzhi said loudly: "Seniors, I don't know what the other party promised you. However, this is Jinling, not Jianghu. It is not difficult to check your identities. Could it be that in the future you will be pursued by the court for the rest of your life?"
Kill or hide?"
One of them obviously hesitated when he heard Luo Qingzhi's words, "Brother, we can't kill them all, otherwise, let's forget it."
The man who was called the eldest brother only hesitated for a moment and immediately retorted, "No, sir, you have saved our lives. How can you be ungrateful as a man in the world?"
Seeing that the person in front of her was the leader, Luo Qingzhi began to change her rhetoric, "I, Luo Qingzhi, have admired the heroic spirit of people in the world since childhood. How about this, you and I fight alone. If you win, I will let you
If you lose, I will let you go and say nothing to the court."
"Luo Qingzhi? Are you Luo Qingzhi, the princess of Anning County?" The elder brother who took the lead was a little surprised.
"Yes, I am." Luo Qingzhi noticed that the man seemed to know her, so she continued, "Look, we have been fighting for so long, and it seems that there is no one in this prison. However, I believe you also know that as long as we
As soon as there is a result here, a group of people will rush out. I am a member of the imperial court and the princess of the dynasty, so I will not be killed by random swords, but you..."
"Brother, we can't die here, brother."
The leader relaxed and said, "Okay, let me compete with you. I am lucky to be able to learn General An Ning's swordsmanship in this life."
The space was limited, so people on both sides automatically gave way to the space. Luo Qingzhi held the sword, and the other party used the sword to test each other's sword intent and sword soul.
Just in case, Luo Chen stayed close to the cell and protected Gao Zhen.
"It's been many years since I've seen my master compete seriously with anyone."
Gao Zhen was a little worried and asked softly: "Can Aluo win?"
"Of course." Luo Chenhao did not hesitate, "There are not many people in this world who can defeat the master."
With Luo Chen's affirmative answer, Gao Zhen relaxed a little and focused his gaze entirely on Luo Qingzhi.
Almost instantly, the two of them attacked at the same time, their swords clashed with each other, and the sound was crisp and clear.
The two of them pushed hard to strengthen their skills, and each took a step back.
Luo Qingzhi continued to attack quickly, using a series of moves to make the opponent retreat step by step.
The opponent was not good at fighting either. He pushed his hind legs against the wall and used his strength to drive Luo Qingzhi back half a step.
Luo Qingzhi changed her attack method, her sword intent was close to her, and her footwork was light. She knocked off the opponent's weapon with one move, and the sword pointed directly at his neck.
"Brother!"
The elder brother who took the lead laughed loudly and said: "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared, the sword is a good sword, what is its name?"
"Candle heart."
"Okay, you know what sword you will die by." The leader said, about to kill himself.
Luo Qingzhi stopped her attack, but still scratched the man's neck.
"You don't have to be like this. I will do what I say and I will let you go." Luo Qingzhi said.
The leading brother smiled contemptuously, and it was already difficult to speak, "I, Cheng Ying, have not done what my benefactor entrusted me to do. How, how is it possible for me to survive in this world."
Luo Qingzhi said: "It turns out to be Hall Master Cheng Ying of Liefeng Hall."
"You actually know me?" Cheng Ying was a little surprised.
Luo Qingzhi continued: "I also know that that person's kindness to you was to provide food relief to Jiangzhou."
Luo Chen said: "Master, someone is coming."
Luo Qingzhi said: "It's too late to say more. Luo Chen, you and a few others left through the left door. When I came in, the guards there were the loosest."
"yes."
As soon as the few people left, the commander Lu Zheng walked in slowly.
"Hey, isn't this Princess Anning? Why, no one informed me when the princess arrived?" Yang Zheng said.
Luo Qingzhi put the sword back into its sheath, "Master Commander, you came really quickly. There was such a big movement just now. Where are you?"
Yang Zheng smiled and said, "What's going on? There was something going on just now. I didn't hear anything." "However, you broke into the imperial prison without permission. I really saw it."
Luo Qingzhi smiled contemptuously and did not answer. Yang Zheng continued, "I also heard that you are not allowed to stay in the house? Oh, you came in against the order, tsk tsk, this, this officer is the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
, you still have to report it truthfully.”
"Your Excellency, please do as you please. Naturally, I will not stop you from filing a complaint. However, I would also like to remind you that it is also a sin to let go of the suspects who have been imprisoned?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Yang Zheng laughed and said: "What did the princess say? My prison is impenetrable, how could any suspect escape?"
Luo Qingzhi calmly arranged her clothes, "I just saw five suspects escaping from the east side door. I didn't expect that the prison guards were so lax. Fortunately, I saw it and helped you."
, let my subordinates capture him and the others."
Yang Zheng's expression changed, he remained calm, and said softly: "I will find out on my own, Princess, there is no need to scare me."
Luo Qingzhi continued, "I don't like to waste time. My last piece of advice is, shut up. I won't say more."
Luo Qingzhi turned around to comfort Gao Zhen and said, "It's okay."
"Did you know that all of this was ordered from above?" Yang Zheng continued.
"Then who do you think your superior will choose between you and me, huh?" Luo Qingzhi's words were gentle, but Yang Zheng couldn't help but tremble. This chapter has been completed!
