Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 349 Prison Roof
Xiao Beiheng slapped the memorial in his hand on the desk, and said angrily: "Are those generals trying to rebel?"

Lin Kui, who was standing below, shrank his neck and secretly looked at the angry Xiao Beiheng.

It's no wonder that Xiao Beiheng was angry, he was the emperor, but unexpectedly he couldn't mobilize the army.The generals of the Yan Army refused to fight one after another, and asked Xiao Beiheng to reveal the real murderer of Emperor Qi Ming's assassination and the truth about the rebellion of General Zhao Mu.

Emperor Qiming led his troops well, and the generals of the Yan army were suspicious of Emperor Qiming's death.In addition, the general Zhao Mu was arrested and the dragons had no leader. Although Xiao Beiheng wanted to mobilize the army, there were many obstacles.

Lin Kui was definitely on Xiao Beiheng's side. He had been loyally assisting Xiao Beiheng for so many years, and he had already developed the habit of only following Xiao Beiheng's lead.Later, he was interrogated by Song Zhen and was about to be taken to Shengjing. It was Xiao Beiheng who saved his life again.He even suspected that Song Zhen was burned to death because Xiao Beiheng deliberately did it to avenge him.

With so many causes and consequences added up, he became even more devoted to Xiao Beiheng.

Xiao Beiheng said that Xiao Zhuo assassinated Emperor Qi Ming, and he also believed it.After all, the queen personally confirmed it, which is the most powerful evidence.And Xiao Zhuo did go to the Anzhou hunting ground, and the time was right.Later, he fled in a hurry without any explanation at all, obviously a guilty conscience.

Before letting Xiao Beiheng know the situation of General Yan Jun, he had already tried to appease the generals, but everyone refused to admit it and insisted on asking for an explanation.

Now that Xiao Beiheng was furious, he had no choice but to try his best to find a way for his master.

"If these generals want to rebel, let's arrest them all," Xiao Beiheng's mouth twitched, "Let them accompany Zhao Mu."

Lin Kui was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty calm down, public anger is hard to offend, public anger is hard to offend."

If all the generals who caused trouble were arrested and put in prison, the world would really be in chaos.Otherwise, the entire Yan army will mutiny.

Xiao Beiheng didn't know the seriousness, but he just took the emperor's position, and he was hit with a sap, and there was nowhere to vent his depression, so he had to say a few harsh words, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.

"Then it depends on what to do," Xiao Beiheng suppressed his anger, "I still need to count on these generals to help me fight, I really can't move them."

Lin Kui said: "According to my opinion, the general Zhao Mu still can't move. He has always had prestige in the army, as long as he comes forward to appease the generals, the matter will be resolved."

Xiao Beiheng walked to the window and opened it to let the moonlight shine into the house.The moonlight was bright, but it did not alleviate the boredom in his heart at all.

"You put it lightly, his wife sued him for treason, how can I let him stand out?"

"Your Majesty, just because his wife reported him, doesn't mean the general really did it. You can say that his wife's slander is not enough."

Xiao Beiheng snorted and said, "That day, Zhao Mu directly contradicted me in the Golden Luan Hall, which was enough to be sentenced to death. I think what his wife said should be true. If he is released, he will lead the army to fight back. what should I do?."

Lin Kui said: "Your Majesty, I am not suggesting that the general lead the army, but that the general should come forward to appease the generals. First put down the trouble, your majesty is good at fighting, so why use the general? You can lead the army by yourself Set off."

Xiao Beiheng hadn't slept peacefully for many days, and his spirit was low, but his mind was still clear.After thinking about Lin Kui's words for a while, he already understood what to do.Get up and call the eunuch: "Paijia, I'm going to see the general. Lin Kui, you go with me."

Lin Kui said: "Your Majesty, it's very late now, should we wait until tomorrow?"

"Going right now."

Xiao Beiheng replied, and walked out of the imperial study.He is in a hurry to send troops to attack Xiao Zhuo now, he can't wait for tomorrow.

The prison dedicated to detaining high-ranking officials was not in the imperial city. The emperor's car drove out of the imperial city without notifying the chief of the official prison.

Seeing the emperor's presence, the soldiers in charge of guarding saluted one after another.Lin Kui asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

A sergeant said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is as usual, except that a woman came the day before yesterday and brought some food to Zhao Mu. We have questioned her, and the woman was a former servant of the General's Mansion. The old master was kind to her, and she Come and visit."

Xiao Beiheng's heart trembled when he heard it.He remembered Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi once disguised as a maid, sneaked into the camp of King Qi's army, and handed the white silk to King Qi with the help of Su Mo. He still remembers this incident, and was extra vigilant when he heard the word maid.

Could it be that Shen Yuexi came here from the capital? That girl is elusive, and she always disguises herself, so don't let her ruin her plan.

"What does that maid look like?" Xiao Beiheng asked.

The sergeant who was questioned said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, she is just an ordinary girl from a folk family, and I don't see anything special about it. But she is quite strong, and it doesn't take much effort to carry such a big basket of rice."

The sergeant didn't understand clearly, and Xiao Beiheng didn't get any valuable information.At this time, the prison door opened, and he let go of this thought and walked through the door.Maybe it was because I was too suspicious, and she was just an ordinary woman who came to repay the favor of the old master.

After entering the gate, go through a long corridor to the outhouse.

The prison is divided into an outer room and an inner room. The outer room is for the guards to rest. The two rooms are separated by iron gates.Normally, two guards sit in the outer room and one in the inner room. If the prisoners have any requests, the guards in the inner room communicate with the people in the outer room through a small iron window to ensure that no prisoners will escape.

Xiao Beiheng arrived at the door of the outer room, but did not see the jailer inside coming out to greet him.The sergeant behind him felt a little strange, and hurried forward to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of alcohol rushed out.Xiao Beiheng frowned, walked in.

There was an old wooden table against the wall in the room, with a mess of cups and plates on it, and two jailers were lying on the table, as if drunk and unconscious.The sergeant who entered the door was furious when he saw it, and stepped forward to grab one.

"You two, don't keep watch..."

Before he finished speaking, the jailer who was picked up didn't wake up, and suddenly collapsed on the ground.

No matter how drunk an ordinary person is, they will not be unresponsive to other people's calls.Xiao Beiheng said with his hands behind his back, "Lin Kui, let's see what's going on."

Lin Kui stepped forward, first bent down to look at the one on the ground, then got up and looked at the one lying on the table, then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, there is no smell of alcohol in their mouths, it seems that they have taken some kind of drug. Drunk, but it's just an illusion."

At this time, a sergeant rushed to the rusty iron door of the inner room, opened the iron window to look inside, and exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Mu is gone!"

Lin Kui ordered: "Open the door!"

Someone nearby took the key from the jailer and opened the iron door.Xiao Beiheng saw the rope ladder hanging between the two rows of cells at a glance.A rope ladder leads up to the roof, which has an opening large enough for an adult to enter and exit.The door of Zhao Mu's cell was open, and the key was still in the lock.Open shackles and handcuffs are thrown on the ground.The jailer in the inner room was slumped in a corner, as unconscious as the one in the outer room.

Lin Kui turned back in panic and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Mu has escaped."

Zhao Mu is the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army. If he runs to Xiao Zhuo's side, he only needs to raise his arms, and many generals will join him.This is simply a deadly action.

Xiao Beiheng also knew the consequences of Zhao Mu's escape, but he didn't panic, his eyes fell on the rope ladder that was still shaking slightly.

Although there is a skylight in the prison, it cannot blow in such a strong wind that can blow the rope ladder.Apparently someone had just climbed it.

He greeted Lin Kui and said: "Since Zhao Mu has escaped, you can quickly send troops to chase after him." While speaking, he pointed to the roof with his finger.

Lin Kui looked at his pointing, and immediately understood, bowed and said: "I understand, I will go to call the army." After speaking, he called the sergeants present and hurried out of the iron gate.

Xiao Beiheng rolled up the hem of the dragon robe and tucked it in his belt, walked to the rope ladder and stretched out his hand to pull it. After confirming that the ladder was strong, he slowly drew out the Yan Que Sword from his waist, held the ladder with one hand and the sword with the other, and climbed up step by step.

When he was about to reach the roof, he paused for a while to exert all his strength, stepped on the rope ladder with both feet, and rushed upwards with a whiz, while dancing the Yan Que into a ball of white light to protect his whole body.

When his body rushed out of the gap, there was a cold light piercing from the side, which happened to intersect with the light of Yan Que sword, with a ding sound, the cold light broke in half, and flew out spinning.

Xiao Beiheng landed on the roof, flicked the Yan Que sword, looked at the young woman in black on the opposite side, and said with a smile:

"Ji Yunyan, I knew it was you."

When he found out that the jailer had been drugged, he remembered what the sergeant had said before, saying that the woman had great strength.He had guessed who it was.Firstly, Shen Yuexi won't drug people, and secondly, she has very little strength.The one who can sneak into the prison to save people without anyone noticing is not Shen Yuexi, then it can only be Ji Yunyan.

Ji Yunyan gritted her teeth and threw away the broken sword in her hand.Without looking back, he said to Zhao Mu behind him:
"General, I'm entangled with him, you should find a chance to escape."

She brought the shackle key to Zhao Mu in the meal before, and made an appointment to rescue him with a rope ladder tonight.Countless calculations were made, but Xiao Beiheng did not expect Xiao Beiheng to come to visit in the middle of the night.She wanted to stab Xiao Beiheng with a sword when she was showing her head, but Xiao Beiheng was already on guard, not only was she unscathed, but he also cut off her long sword.

Before Zhao Mu could answer, Xiao Beiheng laughed and said, "Both of you, neither of you can escape."

At this time, the flames below were dazzling, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, and the shadows of people, knives and guns were reflected on the wall below.Then there were several muffled sounds, and several ladders leaned against the edge of the roof.

Seeing that Ji Yunyan was surrounded by crowds below, the only chance to escape was to take Xiao Beiheng as a hostage.Capture the thief first and capture the king first. If she waited a little longer and waited for the enemies to climb the ladder, she would have no chance.

"Xiao Beiheng, die."

She stretched her hand out from her waist, pulled out a soft sword gleaming with silver, and stabbed Xiao Beiheng swiftly.

Seeing that Ji Yunyan had prepared an extra sword, Xiao Beiheng was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "It seems that he came prepared."

Relying on the sword in his hand, he cut the iron like mud, stepped forward and waved the sword to meet him.When the two swords intersected, Yan Que was like a hard poplar branch being pulled on a wicker stick. The soft sword bent into a half-arc along with the trend, but it didn't cut off. He couldn't help being surprised.

At the moment when he was stunned, Ji Yunyan's soft sword had bypassed Yan Que and pierced his chest.
