The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 477 Yuanji, Dark Night, Prison
The night is getting darker, the moon is dim and the stars are sparse.

There was a curfew in Zhuolu City, and there were only soldiers on night patrol walking back and forth on the streets of the city, and there were no watchmen banging bangs.

A figure turned out from the alley in the west of the city. It was very light. Every time it heard the footsteps of soldiers in the distance, it would jump like a civet cat to the wall and squat down, blending into the darkness. No one could notice it. .

He went straight to Songtao Tower, but he did not reach the backyard. Instead, he stopped by the house near Songtao Tower. Then he carefully observed the surroundings and listened to the movements in the house, and then he turned over with a "chun" past.

The house was not big, but it looked like it could be entered. The man carefully jumped into it, and soon he arrived in front of the main room.

The lights were still on in the room at this moment, and shopkeeper Niu was walking back and forth in the middle of the floor, sighing.

This is Shopkeeper Niu's home. He does not live in Songtao Building.

"Master, why are you running around if you don't sleep?" A woman's voice came from the couch.

Shopkeeper Niu's eyes were red and his expression was sluggish. No matter how slow his reaction was, he knew something was wrong.

The old man and woman from before did not come back, so he could still deceive himself, saying that the two Yuan Guo could not be saved and quietly left the city.

But then four more people came, and they had no idea about the old man and the old woman leaving the city. This was very wrong. The most terrifying thing was that after these four people asked him for news, they also had no news, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

This is absolutely unreasonable. Shopkeeper Niu is very suspicious that they were all captured by the Song Army, but why didn't the Song Army come to arrest him?The more he thought about the reason, the more he felt the cool breeze on his back and broke out in cold sweat.

At this moment, there was a cat meowing suddenly outside the window, and the shopkeeper Niu was startled. He now felt a bit like a snake, and hurriedly retreated to the bed.

The woman wondered: "Master, what are you doing? Aren't there often wild cats entering the house this summer night? Go and chase them away and take a rest. You are still circling on the ground at any time. I don't know what illness you have been suffering from recently. You always look like you are in a state of despair. .”

"You know nothing, you have to sleep by yourself!" Shopkeeper Niu calmed down, cursed and walked towards the window.

When he got closer, he listened carefully to the sound. He frowned and pushed it away. The sound of insects outside immediately came in, but he didn't see a cat lying on the window sill.

Shopkeeper Niu breathed a sigh of relief and closed the window with a bang. Just as he turned around to go to the bed, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the side.

He looked subconsciously and saw that the door not far away had opened at some point, and there was a black figure standing in the door, staring at him with bright eyes...

Half an hour later, two heads rolled to the ground in the room, blood splattered everywhere.

The man in black slowly stood up from the chair. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome face. He was exactly the young man who carried a load into the city during the day.

The man's face was expressionless at the moment, he didn't even glance at his head on the ground, and walked out without making any sound...

In the Tongjun Department, Zhao Tong and Yuan Guo finished playing the third game of chess. Yuan Guo's eyes were confused and he was extremely sleepy.

Zhao Tong looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight. He stood up and said, "Liu Yingzhang, please rest."

Yuan Guo hurriedly bowed and sent Zhao Tong out. Then he didn't care about tidying up the house. He didn't even turn off the lights. He took off his boots and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Guo suddenly felt a cold feeling on his face, as if he had plunged into an ice cave in his dream.

He reached out to touch it in a daze, but his hand became cold. Yuan Guo's heart suddenly trembled, and he realized something was wrong and hurriedly opened his eyes.

All he saw was that his face was being pressed down by a cold piece of iron that shone with cold light, and there was a faint smell of blood coming from it.

He opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but the iron piece was lifted up and slapped on his mouth. He closed his mouth in pain and looked at where the iron piece was. It was clearly a sharp steel knife.

"Brother Eleven, can you live a happy life now?" A deep voice sounded in Yuan Guo's ears.

ah? !Yuan Guo was shocked when he heard this. This voice was too familiar to him. This, this is Yuanji!
His vision suddenly turned black. Why did Yuanji come to Zhuo La City?And he also sneaked into the heavily guarded Tongjun Mansion?

This is a killer. He doesn't know how high his martial arts skills are, but he knows how many people he has killed. There are hundreds or even thousands of people he has killed.

Two years ago, the Yuan family was ordered by the imperial court to go to the northwest to eliminate a Jianghu sect that had colluded with the Tatars. Yuanji personally took the lead.

That sect is very big and can be considered the overlord. There are only a dozen ranches. Not counting the disciples, there are two to three hundred horsemen and farmers who support livestock and cultivate the land. If we add the family members of masters, apprentices, etc. in the sect, I am afraid it will be There are five or six hundred.

As a result, he gave the order to kill the embryos, and all the chickens and dogs were slaughtered. According to the tribesmen who came back, he killed nearly half of the people by himself. What was originally a khaki clothes turned into a It turned black and was soaked with blood!

Yuan Guo was extremely panicked. This killer must have been ordered to kill him by that heartless sister. This bastard always only listened to the orders of the head of the Yuan family and Yuan Jing, even if it was the order of Li Qianshun of the Xixia court. The head of the family and Yuan Jing spoke up, otherwise he wouldn't listen.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

At this moment, the man holding the knife showed a smile. It seemed that he didn't smile often and his face was very stiff.

"Brother Eleven, if you don't shout loudly, I will let you speak."

Yuan Guo heard this and blinked hard to express his agreement.

The man holding the knife said again: "If Brother Eleven breaks his promise, if my knife goes down, Brother Eleven's head will be gone."

Yuan Guo looked frightened and blinked hard again.

The knife was slowly removed from his mouth. Yuan Guo let out a long breath, but his body was still trembling and his legs were trembling.

He turned his head carefully and looked at the man holding the knife. He had a handsome and young face. He looked to be less than 30 years old and slightly younger than him.

The man with the knife was the man who had gone to the house of shopkeeper Niu and killed both shopkeeper Niu and his mother-in-law.

He is also the number one genius of the Yuan family. Even in the history of Xixia Jianghu, he is also a genius-like figure, Yuan Thirteenth Lang, Yuan Ji!
"Thirteenth brother..." Yuan Guo suppressed the fear in his heart and reluctantly spoke. He didn't want to die, so he had to defend himself: "You, you are here..."

Yuan Ji looked at him and said in a gloomy voice: "Brother Eleven, do you really want me to come? I'm afraid you want me to catch you and show my merits when I come."

"Thirteenth brother! Thirteenth brother!" Yuan Guoliang said with tears in his eyes: "How could you so unjustly accuse me, your brother?"

Yuanji said coldly: "Brother Eleven, have I ever wronged you? You pretended to ask for reinforcements and blew up Zhuolu. Wasn't this all your fault? And the two groups of people who came to you before, were they all killed? Song Gou was arrested? Did you help? Are they all still alive at this moment? "

Yuan Guo heard this and beat his chest and feet, bursting into tears with a look of grievance on his face: "Thirteenth brother, who did you listen to? You're pretending to ask for reinforcements or pretending to open the city gate. How could it be me! Those are all sent by the Song Army. You are a fake, the commander and supervisor guarding the city lost the city, and they were afraid that Your Majesty would blame you, so they framed me and put the blame on us, the Yuan family!"

Yuan Ji sneered: "Brother Eleven, do you think I will believe it? But I don't care about these court affairs. When the time comes, you can go and tell Concubine Jing and the emperor." "Who can tell me that I am also unjust..." Yuan Guo stretched out his hand to wipe his tears.

Yuan Ji frowned and couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Brother Eleven, don't act anymore. Qinghua and Hongyu from the Divine Bird Palace came to Zhuoluo before, and they both saw you and said that not only did you work under Song Gou's sect, He became an official and changed his last name!"

"Palace of Divine Birds?" Yuan Guo was stunned. He thought of the two women he had misunderstood that day as Zhao Tao's choice for fun, and immediately said: "Thirteenth brother, they thought wrong. I, I was bearing the burden of humiliation." How can I gain Song Gou's trust if I don't do this? How can I save the lives of Yuanchun and the others!"

"Yuan Chun and the others are not dead?" Yuan Ji raised his eyebrows.

"Not dead!" Yuan Guo cried: "The dog officer of the Song Dynasty tortured them severely and used all kinds of methods to torture them. Finally, when they were about to be cut into pieces and executed in Ling Chi, I stopped them and saved their lives. For this, I got slapped a few times by the dog officer, but, but...it was worth it!"

Yuanji's expression softened slightly when he heard this, and he said, "Where are they now?"

Yuan Guo said: "Thirteenth brother, do you want to save them?"

Yuanji said: "Since we are here, we must rescue him together."

Yuan Guo's eyes flickered and said: "But, there are so many of us... Thirteenth Brother, how can you take them away together?"

Yuanji glanced at him and said calmly: "Brother Eleven doesn't need to care."

"Oh, oh..." Yuan Guo said: "Thirteenth brother, I wish I could find a way. I never thought that, as a brother, I would have one day to escape from this dragon's pond and tiger's den!"

Yuanji said: "Brother Eleven, where are Yuanchun and the others? Take me to find them now!"

Yuan Guo hesitated slightly and said: "They are all imprisoned in the military prison, but...are the thirteenth brothers going to rescue them now?"

Yuan Ji said: "Without further delay, we will rescue him tonight, and then leave under the cover of night. Why... I think Brother Eleven seems to be a little reluctant? Could it be that Brother Eleven doesn't want to leave Zhuo La City?"

"Where, where!" Yuan Guo said hurriedly: "Why are you reluctant to save your brothers and sisters from danger? I should lead the way for the thirteenth brother, but I have no martial arts. Once I get outside, I will be discovered by the Song army and scare the snake..."

"Brother Eleven has nothing to worry about when I'm here!" Yuanji said coldly: "Who will be able to find out then!"

"Yes, my thirteenth brother is highly skilled in martial arts, so it's naturally impossible for him to notice..."

Before Yuan Guo finished speaking, Yuan Ji had already picked him up, as if he were holding a little chicken. He flashed a few times and went out the door...

For nearly an hour, in the darkness, Yuanji grabbed Yuan Guo's neck: "Could Brother Thirteen be stalling for time? We haven't found the military prison for so long!"

"No, no, it's too dark today, and I'm not familiar with the city. I can't tell the direction clearly..."

"Brother Thirteen, I think it would be much easier to carry away only your head than carrying your whole body!" Yuanji said coldly.

"Huh? Thirteenth brother was joking, let me think about it, I remembered, ahead, turn right ahead, keep walking, you should reach the gate of the military prison."

Yuanji glanced at him with a cold gaze, then picked up the collar and continued walking forward.

Yuan Guo's heart suddenly trembled at this moment. He took Yuan Ji for a short half-circle in the city. There were more than one military prison in Zhuolu. He deliberately pointed at the wrong places and walked around in order to delay time.

But he didn't really regard himself as a member of the Song Dynasty and loyal to Zhao Tong, but he was afraid that he would find a place with Yuanji. After Yuanji rescued Yuan Chun and others, he "knocked" him with a knife.

It was much easier to carry his head back to Xingqing than to carry a living person, and from what he heard from Yuanji's words, Yuan Jing or the court seemed to be sure of his surrender.

Then the difference between bringing a living person or a head back is not big. Even if Yuan Jing wants to save his life, he must not take this risk!
As long as there is a slight possibility of losing his life, he cannot take risks!

At this time, Yuan Guo had already arrived in front of the military prison. There were not many places where he could hide his body. After all, all prisons have this kind of structure. The surrounding area is open, which is convenient for observation and surveillance in case someone robs the prison or the prisoner escapes.

However, Yuan Guo didn't think about hiding at all. Too much time had passed at this moment, not to mention that there was no clever plan for robbing a prison to save people, it was just killing people and forcing their way in.

There was a soldier on each side of the cell door. Instead of standing guard, they were all sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, with military caps covering their faces, and they were sound asleep.

Even though Yuan Ji was holding Yuan Guo, there was no sound. He just raised his hand and fired two hidden weapons. The two soldiers leaned over and lay down without even making a sound. on the ground.

Yuan Ji didn't even look at it. He was extremely confident in his own attacks. He had already entered the realm of a master. Let alone dealing with ordinary people, even with first-class martial arts skills, even a small master would hit with one strike without having to strike a second time. .

The cell door was tied from the inside. Yuanji used a special method to open the door, and then ducked in with a sway of his body.

I saw dim lights inside, with vegetable oil lamps burning in the recesses of the wall. It was dim and hazy. Although Yuanji's body was as light as flying catkins, his shadow was reflected on the wall, and stretched extremely long, making it look extremely weird. .

All the way down, it gradually became brighter, but Yuanji's pace slowed down slightly, and he didn't meet anyone, which made him feel a little doubtful.

Although he didn't understand the system of the military prison, it seemed that there shouldn't be no one guarding this passage. How could there be no one there?

He was on high alert all over. He remembered what Yuan Guo said that there were only five people in the military prison, and he wondered if the guards were slack because there were so few people.

But this doesn't seem right. After all, the four members of the Yuan family and Wang Heishan are all skilled in martial arts. Logically speaking, there should be more guards!

Although Yuanji sensed something was wrong, he had no fear. After all, he was a master. Since he was here, he would definitely go down and take a look.

At this moment, the light in front of him became brighter, and he suddenly saw a person sitting in a cell not far away, who looked like Yuanchun!

Yuanji took three steps and two steps at a time, speeding up to reach the cell door, and then softly shouted: "Sister 28!"

Yuanchun saw no sunlight in the prison, and it was hard to tell the difference between day and night. He was awake at the moment. Suddenly he heard someone shouting. When he looked up, it was Yuanji. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He jumped up from the ground and stepped forward to grab the fence. The door shouted: "Brother Thirteen, you, why are you here?"

Yuanji said: "I'm here to save you, where are they?"

Yuanchun pointed his hand deeper and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from outside the passage.

Yuanji's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a group of people walking down from above with bright torches.

A voice sounded like a cloud: "Yuan Shisan, do you still remember me?"
