Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not too late to remedy the situation. As long as we enter the prison first and join my men, we have a chance to reverse the overall situation."
Yan Tianlu didn't speak. Hu Xiaotian thought he was hesitating and persuaded in a low voice: "With the strength of the three of us alone, it is impossible to compete with them. Although you are the island owner and many people on the island respect you, Lu Qingyuan
I wantonly spread the news of your death and created a corpse that is almost real for people to admire. I am afraid that even if you stand up now, no one may believe that you are real. It is easy to hide from open and hidden arrows. The people of Luoying Palace
We may not leave now, we can only have help by rescuing my men first, and then we will rely on the high walls of the prison to launch a counterattack against them."
Yan Tianlu said: "What if they don't want to believe my identity?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Take a step and look at it. You have fallen into the situation you are in now. How much worse can you get? Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, why don't we join hands and fight against the odds."
Yan Nujiao said softly: "Uncle, I think Mr. Hu is right."
Yan Tianlu shook his head. The girl looked out, and it turned out to be the unbreakable truth. He was a bystander, and he had already seen that feelings had arisen between his niece and Hu Xiaotian. Yan Tianlu said: "Let's go, then go to the prison."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Is there a secret passage to sneak into it?"
"What?" Yan Tianlu was a little stunned.
"Secret passage! Do you want to walk in arrogantly? Old man, aren't you an old fool?" Hu Xiaotian was dumbfounded. With Yan Tianlu's intelligence, no wonder he was defeated in the battle for imperial power in the Bohai Kingdom. It's strange, what exactly is this guy doing?
How did you get into the position of the island owner, and how did you convince the public?
Yan Tianlu chuckled and said, "Of course I have to walk in swaggeringly."
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that this guy's brain is really hopeless. Aren't he afraid of being exposed? Even if others don't recognize his current appearance, it's impossible to just let them in.
Yan Tianlu saw Hu Xiaotian's contempt for him, raised his head and said arrogantly: "Who am I? I am the owner of Python Island!"
"I have to add the word "before", now the country has changed hands." Hu Xiaotian lost no time in rubbing salt into the wound.
Yan Tianlu actually laughed, took out a black iron token from his waist, and waved it in front of Hu Xiaotian's eyes.
Hu Xiaotian took a closer look and saw the three characters "Jiaolong Order" written on it. Only then did he understand what Yan Tianlu meant. He was so confident that he thought he was a fool, but it turned out that he didn't think well.
Yan Tianlu was very proud and thought to himself, how dare you look down on me? I eat more salt than you eat rice! Do you know what ginger means when it's old?
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be confused and said: "What is the use of this token?"
Yan Tianlu said: "With this token, you can travel unimpeded on Mangjiao Island."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The island owner is dead. Is the token still useful?"
Yan Tianlu knew that this guy was deliberately angry with him, so he grinned and said, "Lu Qingyuan probably didn't think of these things so early." He threw the Jiaolong Order to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Let's go! Go interrogate your subordinates."
Yan Tianlu still led the way, and the three of them arrived in front of the prison. Before Hu Xiaotian sneaked into Mangjiao Island, he would never have thought that he would enter the prison in such a way. It was so arrogant, and the owner of the island, Yan Tianlu, personally led him.
Tonight, most of the people on Mangjiao Island went to Juyi Hall to pay their respects. The prison door was locked due to the wind and rain. There was no one stationed outside. Hu Xiaotian came to the door and knocked hard. After a while, the door opened.
He opened a small window, and a vigilant face emerged from it, saying in a deep voice: "Who comes here late at night?"
Hu Xiaotian showed the Jiaolong Order in his hand to the guard: "Sixth Master asked me to come and interrogate Hu Zhongyang!" The reason why he came forward was because Yan Tianlu's behavior and words attracted everyone's attention on Mangjiao Island, and he was worried that his identity would be discovered.
The man looked at the Jiaolong Order, and of course he couldn't see any flaws. He closed the small window and slowly opened the door. Hu Xiaotian took the lead and walked in, followed closely by Yan Tianlu and Yan Nujiao.
When he walked into the second courtyard, the guard glanced at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Why have I never seen you before?"
Hu Xiaotian snorted coldly and said: "What is your identity? I am someone close to Mr. Liu. If you are so curious, why don't you just ask Mr. Six directly!" The guard was scolded by Hu Xiaotian, and his face was obviously a little uneasy.
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Where is Ma Xihou? Did he go to sleep lazy?" Ma Xihou is the leader of the prison.
When the guard heard Hu Xiaotian calling their leader by his first name, he became even more frightened and said respectfully: "Master Ma went to the Juyi Hall to pay his respects. He probably won't be back tonight."
Hu Xiaotian said disdainfully: "I only know that there are six masters on Mangjiao Island, but I don't know when there was an additional master Ma!"
The guard had been completely suppressed by Hu Xiaotian's momentum, and he was uneasy. He was afraid of offending him, so he had no time to doubt his identity. After walking through the courtyard for three times, Hu Xiaotian quietly noticed that there were dozens of people almost every time he entered the courtyard.
The pirates were stationed, and the courtyard walls were high and wide. There were five-foot-high towers on each floor of the courtyard wall, covering almost every corner outside the prison. There were four archers on each tower patrolling day and night.
The prison is built against a mountain rock. When you walk into the main entrance of the prison, you are actually walking into the entrance of a cave. The cave has been manually cut with axes, and the walls are neatly decorated. When passing through this long corridor, there are lights on the walls at intervals.
The fish oil lamp uses whale oil from the sea as fuel and can be lit for a long time without extinguishing. There are guards at every turning point of the corridor. After walking through the fifty-foot-long corridor, you can officially enter the prison area.
This prison was far more heavily guarded than Hu Xiaotian imagined. If he had followed his original plan, it would have been difficult to sneak into it. As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise was a blessing in disguise. If not for this sudden storm, how could he have encountered this prison?
Arrive at Yan Tianlu.
Using the Dragon Order, the three of them successfully entered the prison area.
Yuan Dusheng, the leader in charge of the internal prison area, came to see him. After examining the Dragon Order in Hu Xiaotian's hand, he said respectfully: "I wonder if you have any instructions for me to come here this time?"
Hu Xiaotian said solemnly: "I'm afraid you don't know yet. Now Mangjiao Island has elected Master Liu as our new island owner. Master Liu has sworn in public to avenge the old island owner. According to the information we have, the island owner
The murder is probably related to Hu Zhongyang, so we were ordered to come to interrogate Hu Zhongyang."
What Hu Xiaotian said was reasonable. Yuan Dusheng didn't know what the plan was. When he saw Jiaolong Ling coming as if he were the island owner himself, he immediately led Hu Xiaotian and his party to the cell where Hu Zhongyang was imprisoned.
Hu Zhongyang was sleeping soundly. He hurriedly sat up when he heard the movement outside. He said loudly: "I want to see the island owner. What do you mean by imprisoning me here and not allowing me to meet the island owner?"
Hu Xiaotian already knew that Hu Zhongyang and Yan Tianlu had known each other for a long time. The two people should have cooperated for many years. As for the reason for the conflict, Yan Tianlu sent people to attack Hu Zhongyang's caravan and imprisoned him here. Only the parties involved knew.
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand to Yuan Dusheng to open the cell door, turned his face slightly and said: "You guys step aside for now, I have something to ask him alone!"
Yan Tianlu and Yan Nujiao said in unison: "Yes!" Then they made a gesture of invitation, signaling Yuan Dusheng and others to leave as soon as possible. Yuan Dusheng did not become suspicious and reminded: "This person has a bad temper and a hard temper.
He clamored to see the island owner but refused to say anything."
After the people around him left, Hu Xiaotian squatted down in front of Hu Zhongyang.
Hu Zhongyang's hands and feet were shackled, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with filth. He had obviously suffered a lot of torture. Under the dim light, he looked at Hu Xiaotian blankly and said: "I want to see the island owner. I have never had this opportunity before."
What does it mean to betray Python Island, why does he treat me like this?"
Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "The island owner was killed by a traitor and unfortunately died!"
"What?" Hu Zhongyang was shocked when he heard this, shook his head vigorously and said: "You lied to me. The island owner has incredible martial arts skills, how could he be harmed by an adulterer?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did I lie to you? Not only was the island owner killed, but even the third leader was assassinated. Otherwise, why would we wear sackcloth and show filial piety?"
Only then did Hu Zhongyang notice Hu Xiaotian's attire, and understood that what the other party said must be the truth. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose, tears rolled down his eyes, and he said with sadness: "Island Master... you died unjustly!"
Yan Tianlu, who was on lookout outside, heard Hu Zhongyang crying for him in the prison, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The reason why he ordered the attack on Hu Zhongyang's caravan was because Lu Qingyuan told him that Hu Zhongyang's trip to Bohai to do business was a fake, and his real purpose was
However, he was responsible for helping Dongliang County contact Bohai State to discuss the two parties' joint efforts to destroy Mangjiao Island. Yan Tianlu believed it was true. In addition, the route chosen by Hu Zhongyang deliberately bypassed Mangjiao Island and was escorted by warships from Dongliang County.
Yan Tianlu then decided to send people to attack and captured Hu Zhongyang's fleet and captured thousands of people.
In fact, Yan Tianlu had thought about meeting Hu Zhongyang before and asked him face to face why he betrayed him, but before he had time to interrogate Hu Zhongyang, such drastic changes happened on the island, and now even he was ousted by several traitors.
He came here and publicly announced his death. Thinking of this, Yan Tianlu was really touched.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The island owner treats you like this, I never thought you would shed tears for him."
Hu Zhongyang choked up and said: "The island owner has been kind to me. If it weren't for the island owner's care, I, Hu Zhongyang, would never have prospered."
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Since the island owner is so kind to you, why did you betray the island owner and join Hu Xiaotian?"
Hu Zhongyang said: "I have never betrayed the island owner, nor have I taken refuge with Hu Xiaotian. It's just that Dongliang County is related to my vital interests, and the reason why I help him is because of our common interests."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You borrowed the battleship navy from Hu Xiaotian, didn't you want to do harm to our Python Island?" (To be continued.)
