Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 24

Today, the Ming Dynasty is no longer as strict as it was when the country was founded. The court is corrupt and the officials are corrupt.

During the day, they can still put on a decent appearance.

But at night, the bad habits of more than 200 years are exposed.

As we all know, Tianlao is a prison under the direct control of the imperial court in the capital, and all the prisoners in the prison are severely punished. These prisoners are either losers in political struggles, or are really vicious villains.

The latter naturally need not go into too much detail.

But the former is different. They are often rich and well-fed big shots, imprisoned in such a dark hell, and it is easy to tell some secrets that are not humane when they have a mental breakdown.

In order to prevent these secrets from leaking out, those big figures outside the prison have moved some thoughts on the guards of this day's prison.

As a result, the profession of jailer in the sky prison has become an iron rice bowl handed down from generation to generation.

For 200 years, it has basically been passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson.

Except for the occasional gilding of the top positions by outsiders, the middle and bottom levels below have basically remained unchanged.

It can be said that the prison guards in Tianlao are basically an independent small society. The jailers have intermarried with each other for generations. The relationship is not as simple as colleagues and colleagues. Everyone is related to each other.

Therefore, even the lowest-level pawns can chat and laugh happily with the school captain from the ninth rank.

Seeing the young man walk into the room, the shirtless man sitting on the poker table laughed and greeted the young man affectionately.

"Xiao Liu, are you done patrolling the night? Come here and play some tricks!"

"Come here, come here!"

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, someone immediately stood up and made way for him.

He sat down and asked with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, how are you feeling today?"

The smile on the shirtless man's face froze, and he said with a sullen expression: "Don't mention it, I'm a bit unlucky today, and I lost all my wine money this week, don't talk about it, deal the cards quickly, the table is changed, It's time for my luck to change!"

The jailers around laughed loudly when they heard the words, and began to tease them one after another.

At this moment, there was a sound outside the iron gate.

But the noise was so slight that no one inside the door noticed it.

Immediately afterwards, the iron door of the night duty room slowly opened, and lively sounds poured from the room into the dark and silent corridor.

Everyone who was playing cards froze, and all turned their heads to look at the door.

All the sounds disappeared at this moment, only the creak of the iron door slowly opening.

Fortunately, the person who walked in was the cell head who was waiting at the end of the corridor day and night.

He actually stood up!
The young man surnamed Liu was a little startled, and then suddenly realized that the cell boss was so tall when he stood up.

Seeing him sitting at the end of the corridor, the young man surnamed Liu thought he was a little old man!
The prison head was wearing the blue-black narrow-sleeved bunt of an ordinary jailer, and a starched soap scarf. His eyes were cloudy and his appearance was ordinary. He was about forty or fifty years old. He looked like an ordinary jailer who couldn't be more ordinary. .

But when the guards in the night room saw this person, none of them dared to speak again.

Only the shirtless man surnamed Zhou swallowed his saliva and bravely stood up.

"Old Li, why are you so interested in visiting the younger generation?"

"..."

The jailer turned his head slowly and looked at him with his cloudy eyes.

It was this look that made the man surnamed Zhou a little creepy, and quickly bowed his head to show respect, not daring to say a word.

Soon, the jailer turned around, without saying a word, he walked towards the sky prison on his own.

None of the many jailers present dared to stop him, they could only watch helplessly as he disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone in the night duty room heaved a sigh of relief.

The young man surnamed Liu is a newcomer who has just joined his father's class. He has only been working in the prison for a month, and he doesn't know much about the situation here, so he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou, Grandpa Li's eyes are a little scary. , but there is no need to be so afraid, right?"

"Boy, what do you know?"

The man surnamed Zhou glared at him, then looked back at the prison, and after confirming that the head of the prison was not there, he pulled the young man surnamed Liu over, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Stinky boy, remember it for me, Mr. Li is the township rock of our prison, Optimus Prime, anyone can do without this prison, but we can’t lose Mr. Li.”

"what?"

Seeing that the young man didn't understand, the man surnamed Zhou snorted and explained with some pride and show off.

"13 years ago, there was a famous thief in Jianghu. It is said that his lightness kung fu has reached the realm of perfection. He has entered the palace several times. His confidante is a secret agent of Dongyi, lurking in the capital, trying to steal the military equipment and shipbuilding of the Ming Dynasty The blueprint was discovered later, and he was taken to the sky prison, and the thief was amazing, he sneaked into the sky prison for the sake of his beauty, and wanted to rob the prison."

"None of the jailers at that time could spot him until he met Mr. Li outside the cell..."

The young man listened intently, seeing Uncle Zhou's tone paused here, he couldn't help asking anxiously: "And then?"

"I don't know!" The man surnamed Zhou spread his hands, and said in a low tone, "No one knows what happened that night, only that the head of the robber was hanging at the gate of the prison the next day."

"hiss--"

The young man gasped, and when he looked at the prison again, only awe and admiration remained in his eyes.

"It turns out that Grandpa Li is so powerful!"

"It's really amazing!"

Outside the iron gate, Lin Zhongtian leaned against the wall and nodded in agreement.

He clearly followed the young jailer, and passed the corridor safely by relying on the way that his footsteps coincided perfectly with the other's. He also took advantage of the supercilious perspective to avoid the guard's sight behind the wall, and forcibly passed through the eyes of all the guards. The dungeon entered the blind spot of vision, but the prison boss still noticed his existence.

Lin Zhongtian was very sure that he was not seen by him.

The reason why the opponent can find him is entirely based on the perception of danger and the sixth sense of the warrior.

"It's no wonder that the head of the prison can detect my existence. It turns out that I am a peerless master hidden in the sky prison..."

Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart.

Now that he was discovered, Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to kill the old man.

To be honest, Lin Zhongtian didn't intend to kill him at first, because it would definitely startle the snake and disrupt the prison robbery plan of Jin Yichuan, Ding Xiu and others, but he didn't expect that this guy actually had a tumor in his head.

The palm that he thought could only stun him actually killed him directly.

No wonder this guy's eyes are cloudy, his movements are slow, and he looks like an old man with dementia. It turns out that he really has a mental illness...

Had he known this, Lin Zhongtian would not have acted so decisively.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help sighing, thinking that next time, no matter what, he should open the eyes-like perspective all the way to prevent such a coincidence from happening again.

There was no way, Lin Zhongtian could only temporarily use the gray fog to control the body of the jailer.

In order to save the fog, Lin Zhongtian didn't completely take over the prison head's brain, but only controlled the part of the body, so that the consumption of gray fog was less and the duration was shorter.

Roughly calculated, it can only last about seven or eight days, which is exactly the time limit for Ding Xiu and others to rob the prison.

In these seven or eight days, in order not to startle the snake, he will have to play two roles.
