In fact, he had seen what happened in Kyoto just now. Although he was a little disgusted, there were similar things in his previous life, so he was not shocked at all.
I just want to know what happened in Kyoto these years.
"What happened to that dog emperor?"
"In order to prevent anyone from plotting rebellion, he secretly killed several important generals.
Hearing that the Fan family was extremely powerful in the border areas, he set his target on the Fan family.
Since most of the Fan family members were at the border, he caught Fan Chenggang and lied that Fan Chenggang was seriously ill and was about to die, so he lured many members of the Fan family back.
Then he sent some imperial guards to the border areas and assassinated the remaining Fan family members one by one.
His actions aroused the dissatisfaction of many officers and soldiers of the Fan family army. As a result, this dog emperor actually... actually captured all these soldiers and imprisoned them as pigs and dogs, and..."
Xia Sichou stopped talking and shook his head.
"Forget it, it's useless if you know so much. In today's world, it's good to be alive."
Then he stood up, tried to calm down his mood, and then said to Xia Po.
"Boy, from now on you can live in this courtyard with peace of mind. Don't care about things you shouldn't care about. Practice martial arts well."
After saying that, he turned around and sighed.
"It would be great if your master was still alive. He would definitely have something to do, but it's a pity... alas..."
Just as he was about to leave the yard, he suddenly said again.
"By the way, when you hear the bell ringing, no matter what happens, don't leave the house, do you understand?"
Looking at Xia Sichou's leaving figure, Xia Po fell into thought.
In fact, even if Xia Sichou didn't finish his words, he still knew what the situation was.
It is estimated that the people who were regarded as prey by the dog emperor were the soldiers of the Fan family army.
Those people had been guarding the Tianyuan Dynasty on the border all their lives, but they did not expect that they would end up being treated like that by the emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
What an irony.
According to the news, the entire Fan family will be executed at noon tomorrow.
That night, Xia Po lay on the bed he had slept on for decades, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
I can always think of the excitement on the streets when the war with the Nanman ended.
The scene at that time and the scene on the streets of Kyoto now are completely different from each other.
Having lived here for such a long time, it is absolutely impossible to say that I have no feelings.
So he was a little angry when the place became like this.
Moreover, Fan Chenggang actually has a good relationship with him. He often visits him with things and has expressed his admiration for Xia Po many times.
This made Xia Po still have a good impression of Fan Chenggang, plus he took great care of Xia Sichou in the military camp and was a forthright person.
In short, Xia Po still likes Fan Chenggang, but now...
After thinking for several hours, he finally picked up a few talismans and went to the prison.
There are things he wants to do if he doesn't do them, he might really regret it for the rest of his life, so he decided to do something.
Not to mention rescuing the Fan family, but it is better than watching them die.
After hiding his body, he easily entered the prison.
Compared to the time he came here decades ago, the current prison is more heavily guarded, and the atmosphere inside is even more eerie and terrifying.
The ground was covered with moist light red liquid, and the smell of blood and sweat blended together. It was so refreshing to smell it.
After wandering around in the sky prison for a long time, he finally found an old man hanging in mid-air, wearing tattered prison uniforms and covered with scars.
This is Fan Chenggang whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
There were three people in this cell. Besides him, there were two ordinary people sitting on the ground with melancholy expressions on their faces.
I remember that when he defeated the Southern Barbarians and returned triumphantly, he visited Xia Po once.
That time, while drinking wine, he said some heroic words.
He said that the Fan family would definitely protect the peace of the Tianyuan Dynasty from generation to generation...
Such a person who loves his country deeply was treated like this by that dog emperor.
Xia Po didn't know what to say other than pity.
After observing him for a while, he found that although Fan Chenggang was seriously injured, his breathing was relatively stable and there was no threat to his life.
For an old man to be treated like this and still be in this state can be considered to be in excellent physical condition.
He quietly put down the jailer at the door, came to Fan Chenggang's side, and shouted in an elderly voice.
"Fan Chenggang, can you hear me?"
His voice was very low, and he said it into Fan Chenggang's ear, so it was certain that Fan Chenggang could hear it.
Fan Chenggang didn't sleep. Firstly, he couldn't sleep because he was hung up, and the injuries on his body were too painful. Secondly, no one would care enough to be beheaded tomorrow and still be able to sleep today.
Hearing this familiar voice, Fan Chenggang immediately opened his eyes and started to look around.
"Don't look away, I'm right next to you."
When the voice came again, Fan Chenggang had a look of disbelief on his face.
He didn't see Xia Po at first and thought he was just hallucinating. Unexpectedly, Xia Po's voice actually appeared again.
"Master Xia, is it you, Master Xia?"
He said quietly.
"It's me, don't move, I'll get you out first."
Xia Po was just about to take action when he heard Fan Chenggang's pleading voice.
"Master Xia, please don't."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't help but die."
"ah?"
Some people say they have no choice but to die?
It’s really a long experience.
"Humph, I heard some rumors as early as when that guy named Liu Yuan came to the throne. I knew that there would be big changes in the court, so I had already secretly discussed it with the garrison at the border.
As soon as I die, they will immediately launch a mutiny. If this dog emperor is not brought down, the Tianyuan Dynasty will really fall!"
Xia Po was a little shocked.
He was not shocked that Fan Chenggang had expected this day, but he was shocked that the Tianyuan Dynasty had treated the Fan family like this. He was still thinking about the Tianyuan Dynasty before he died.
What a pity for such a brave and loyal person.
"Master Xia, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"My Fan family has been stationed at the border for many years, but I didn't expect that I would end up like this. I really feel ashamed of my clan.
See if you can create a commotion in the prison before the execution tomorrow."
"I can obviously rescue them all directly."
Fan Chenggang shook his head.
"If we rescue them all, will they still have hatred in their hearts? Will they still think about revenge for other tribesmen?
All you have to do is create a riot, and whether they can escape and survive after escaping depends on their abilities."
Xia Po could understand what Fan Chenggang was thinking. It was probably to create a riot. Those who were capable could naturally escape, and those who were not capable would just die.
It just provides the capable tribesmen with anger points, which is the motivation for revenge.
Although it is a bit too realistic and cruel, it is undoubtedly the best method for the current Fan family.
Moreover, Fan Chenggang still has some worries, that is, he is afraid that something will happen if Xia Po is rescued one by one. What should he do if Xia Po is affected?
He knew that Xia Po was a quiet person and didn't like to cause trouble.
So it would be much more convenient to just create a riot.
If one of you survives, you won't lose anything, and if you two survive, you will gain blood.
That's what he thinks.
Xia Po was about to leave when he heard another old man in the same cell smiling at Fan Chenggang.
"Hahaha, General Fan, is this just an assumption because you were so frightened by the beheading?"
Fan Chenggang didn't speak, but looked ahead calmly.
"Although you don't have much time to go to court, you like to scold me for being a corrupt official every time you go to court. But you didn't expect it, right? The two of us ended up exactly the same!"
The old man smiled as he spoke.
Fan Chenggang just looked at him lightly and said.
"Hmph, your Zuo family has been poisoning the imperial court for many years, embezzling countless amounts of money, and has even conspired to rebel many times. It is not a pity to die!"
