"If you really want to be so powerful, you won't let us be locked up here." The soldier said disdainfully, and then said: "Okay, don't talk about him, it won't spoil our interest. Come, let's drink and drink."
While the three soldiers were drinking and drinking, Yongxu quietly moved to the next cell. He was very careful not to let the iron chain make any sound, so as not to disturb the soldiers. When he was still about half a foot away,
, the iron chain on one hand reached its limit and could not be extended any further. He had to sit there and whispered: "General Zhang? Is that you, General Zhang?"
The silent figure, when he heard Yong Cang's voice, his whole body trembled. He turned around and looked at Yong Cang carefully. This man was Zhang Guangcheng for a long time. He said in a trembling voice: "Twelve Ah.
Brother, you...were you arrested by them too? Didn't Fugui and the others protect you and escape?"
Yong Cang made a silent gesture and, seeing that the soldiers were not alarmed, just briefly recounted the events of these days in a low voice. After hearing that Zhu Ji had also rebelled against the party, Zhang Guangcheng's expression suddenly changed and he said coldly:
"No wonder, no wonder I haven't waited
When the reinforcements arrive, it's not that the letter was not delivered, but that Zhu Ji deliberately didn't send troops. He deliberately wanted us to die. He deserves to die!" When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his voice, which attracted the pity of the three soldiers.
One of them was quite wary, put down his wine glass and walked over.
Zhang Guangcheng reacted quickly and said loudly: "You little bastards are eating and drinking here with my general's things. I'm hungry. Bring me the things quickly. I also want wine!"
The soldier stopped and said in surprise: "Oh, it's really strange. I have been locked up for so long and even drank water. Today, I actually asked for wine. The sun is rising in the west!"
Zhang Guangcheng snorted and said: "Stop talking nonsense and bring it to me quickly!"
The soldier sneered and said: "You really think you are a general, but you are just a prisoner. I asked you whether to eat or not. Now if you want to eat... there is no way!"
Another soldier smiled and threw the chicken bones he had just chewed into Zhang Guangcheng's cell, saying: "Here, don't say that my brother treats you badly, I will give you these bones to replenish your body."
"I'm so good at chewing your bones. Don't disturb my brother's interest." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the wine table to continue drinking and chatting.
Zhang Guangcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "So, Brother Twelve, you were arrested on purpose?"
"Yes, Zhu Ji is now in control of Jinan City, and the rebels have blocked the road back to the capital and want to trap us in the city. Just now I heard what Zhao Fu and Third Brother said. They want to wait for the court to repeat the same plan again; if
If they succeed again, there will be far more soldiers killed and injured than now. It will also be a heavier blow to the Qing Dynasty. There is nothing we can do with the strength of Fugui and I. The only solution now is
Rescue the general first."
Zhang Guangcheng smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I go out, what can I do? The 20,000 horses I brought this time are already gone."
"No." Yongxun shook his head and said: "I asked people to inquire. Although there were heavy casualties in that battle and the entire army was almost wiped out, there were still thousands of soldiers who survived and have now gathered under Zhu Ji's command; as long as the general stands
When we come out, we can immediately take these people under our command, and with the prestige of the general, we will be able to make all the officers and men see Zhu Ji's true face and prevent him from doing things that harm the country and the people again."
Zhang Guangcheng nodded, then looked at the iron chain tightly on his wrist with some confusion and said: "But how can we get out in our current situation?"
Yongxun smiled mysteriously and said, "We'll find out in the evening."
Although there is no daylight in the dungeon, it does not mean that time has stopped. At this time, the sun that was originally high in the sky has slowly set in the west. The sunset in winter does not last as long as in summer, and soon the last ray of light is swallowed up by darkness.
After the first watch, a soldier came to replace the patrolling soldier. The latter relaxed his shoulders and said, "I can go to eat now. I'm so hungry."
The soldier next to him was about to speak when he suddenly looked at something with doubt. After a while, he pointed over there and said, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the path they must pass when leaving the mountain was now emitting a faint green light, which was very eye-catching. A cold wind was blowing, which made everyone suddenly get goosebumps.
Some timid people trembled and said, "Could it be... it couldn't be haunted?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We have lived here for so long. What ghosts have happened somewhere? Let's go over and have a look." As he said that, he led a few brave soldiers and walked over. After getting closer, he found that
The light was emitted from the ground, like some powder, and everyone's faces turned green when it shone on it. It didn't stop at that section of the road. It stretched out as far as the eye could see and stretched out for a long time, just like the road leading to hell.
"What on earth is this?" The man asked while constantly looking around, fearing that a female ghost would suddenly jump out. Although he was brave, in this situation, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Everyone shook their heads at his question. After some discussion, a few people were left here to watch, while the others went to report to the military advisor.
Yongzhang had been tired for the whole day and was feeling quite depressed. He wanted to take a rest early, but as soon as he drank the medicine, someone came to report that something was strange. He did not dare to be careless and immediately followed him to the distribution channel.
road with green light.
After picking up some powder from the ground, Yong Zhang's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Ride your horse immediately to see where the powder extends."
The soldier agreed and hurriedly rode his horse along the green-lit road. It took a full stick of incense to hear the sound of horse hooves. The soldier dismounted and hurriedly said: "For the information of the military advisor, these powders lead all the way out of the mountain."
It's far away, and I'm afraid it will take too long to get there, so I'm going to report back to the military first." Seeing Yongzhang was silent, he said again: "I'll go there now."
"No need!" Yongzhang called him with a gloomy expression, and then said: "Send the order and the whole army will be on alert. If anyone suspicious is found, he will be captured and killed immediately and reported to me and the prince."
After the soldier agreed, he turned around and hurried to Zhao Fu's camp. After the latter came out of the camp and saw the road that exuded a strange atmosphere, he was stunned and said: "What's going on? Why is it suddenly glowing?"
Yongzhang stretched out his hand, and the green powder was in the palm of his hand, "Because someone sprinkled phosphorus powder on that road. This thing is invisible and traceless during the day. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all. But in the dark night,
, it will emit green light, which is extremely conspicuous."
