After Zhao Hongrun left, Yuma walked back and forth in the prison in a depressed mood.
You must know that the reason why he asked to see Zhao Hongrun today was because he wanted to confirm his guess about the tunnel.
Because in his opinion, if someone hadn't tipped off, how could Zhao Hongrun, who had no idea that there was a tunnel under the military hall a while ago, suddenly knew everything?
After some testing, Yuma was convinced that the informant was most likely the leader of the Fuqiu clan, Jin Gou.
Because based on his understanding of Jin Gou, the latter is a very ambitious person.
When talking about Jin Gou's ambition, it is inevitable to mention the predecessors of the Fuqiu Clan and the Yiqiu Clan, namely the Geyang Mountain Hidden Thieves Clan.
Yuma knew this very well.
More than ten years ago, when Youma in Dang County was betrayed by the imperial court and attacked by Sima An's Dangshan Army, the powerful Youma army collapsed in just a few days. At that time, Youma was not called this name, and he was also
Just a small boss.
If converted into a military position in the Wei State, Yuma was just an uncle at that time.
However, during the attack by the Dangshan Army, his eldest brothers with positions above his Yuma were killed one after another. Before he died, he was entrusted by an elder brother to take the family members of the Yuma family to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Dangshan Army.
You Ma was ordered to do so at the critical moment. Under Sima An's deliberate release, he finally escorted the family members of the You Ma Army to the vicinity of Yangxia and sought refuge in Yingkang.
At that time, the Fuqiu people and the Yiqiu people had not yet separated, and they merged into the Geyang hidden bandits, occupying the entire Geyang Mountain, and becoming the most powerful hidden bandit force in the Yangxia area.
And Ying Kang was not the leader of the Yiqiu people at that time. Like Jin Gou, they were some of the most respected heroes around the leaders of the Geyang people in the previous generation.
Compared with the cunning Jin Gou, Ying Kang is a rather bold and straightforward hero, and has a high reputation in the Yangxia area.
Therefore, the leaders of the previous generation of Geyang decided to pass their positions to Ying Kang.
However, this move angered Jin Gou, who was eyeing the position of leader.
No one expected that a few days later, before the leaders of the previous generation Ge Yang could officially pass the position to Ying Kang, he would die inexplicably in his room.
This incident directly led to a fight between Ying Kang and Jin Gou.
After failing to seize the throne, Jin Gou took the group of hidden thieves who were loyal to him and established his own family, calling themselves the Fuqiu Clan.
And because Ying Kang did not justly inherit the leadership of the Geyang clan from the previous leader, he was criticized by some people with ulterior motives, so he had to change his name to the Yiqiu clan.
In this way, the powerful Geyang Clan became fragmented and split into two branches: the Yiqiu Clan and the Fuqiu Clan. The hidden thief forces that had been attached to the Geyang Clan, such as Mangya, Black Spider, Duanlou, etc., also took advantage of this situation.
Rise up and gradually develop to a situation where it can sit on an equal footing with the Fuqiu people and the Yiqiu people.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was all because of Jin Gou that the Ge Yang Zhong fell to this point. Although this person denied it, many people still suspected that Jin Gou assassinated the leader of the previous Ge Yang Zong because he was
In the previous generation, there were not many leaders in Geyang who trusted them.
Since the split, the Fuqiu people and the Yiqiu people have always been at odds with each other, each hoping to devour the other and restore the strength of the Geyang people back then.
If it hadn't been for the intervention of Zhao Hongrun, a powerful opponent, the Yiqiu people who wanted to come to Yingkang and the Fuqiu people from Jingou would never have sat at the same table.
If it is true that Jin Gou secretly colluded with Su Wang Zhao Run... No, this matter must be reported to Brother Ying Kang as soon as possible!
A trace of determination flashed in Yuma's eyes, and he stood inside the cell door and carefully observed the movements around him.
Just as Zhao Hongrun guessed, Yuma attempted to escape from prison.
But what troubled Yuma was that after careful observation, he discovered to his chagrin that the Shoshui sergeants who acted as jailers outside the cell did not have the key to open their cell door.
That large bunch of keys is in the hands of the temporary warden, a guy named Zhou Pu.
What's even more ominous is that Zhou Pu is not actually a soldier of the Shang Shui Army. He is actually a Zongwei beside Zhao Hongrun, which means that this person will not often appear in the prison.
What can I do?
Yuma had a headache.
And just when Yuma felt a headache, suddenly, a burst of yelling and cursing came from the cell in front.
"What happened?" Yuma asked the person in the next cell.
In the cell next door, a ranger spat on the ground and said angrily: "Who knows what madness that bastard named Zhou Pu got out of? He actually asked the Shang Shui Army to beat up the people in the cells one by one.
…”
ah?
Yuma was stunned for a moment, listening carefully, and vaguely heard amidst the sounds of beatings and screams, several Shangshui soldiers were vaguely yelling at each other, such as who had the courage to glare at His Highness Prince Su, and how
You dare to spit at His Highness Prince Su, are you impatient? Something like that.
I can't believe that the man named Zhou Pu is such a violent person...
Yuma was a little surprised, because in his original opinion, the taciturn Zongwei Zhou Pu did not seem like the kind of person who would commit violence out of resentment.
But when he thought about the identity of the other party Zongwei, Yuma felt relieved.
Then thinking about it, Yuma suddenly felt happy: So Zhou Pu hasn't left yet?
As expected, Zongwei Zhou Pu was indeed teaching the people in the cells from cell to cell, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the cell next to Yuma.
Looking at the innocent thieves and rangers in the cell next door who were brutally beaten by Shang Shui's soldiers, and then looking at the expressionless Zhou Pu standing outside the cell, Yuma made a calculation in his mind.
Suddenly, Yuma said: "Is it that interesting to bully some guys who dare not fight back, Soue-sama?"
"..." After hearing this, Zhou Pu turned to look at Yuma, with a few strange colors flashing in his eyes.
He said calmly: "Bullying? No, I am teaching them to abide by the etiquette of dignity and inferiority in front of His Highness King Su. Your Highness, King Su, is not someone you scum can look down upon..."
He actually said...scum?
Even though Yuma wanted to attract Zhou Pu's attention intentionally, the latter got angry and said coldly: "We are scum, who do you think you are? A dog beside Zhao Run?"
Zhou Pu's face tightened, and he waved his hand and said to the Shang Shui soldiers in the prison next to Yuma: "That's enough, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shangshui soldiers removed the cell, locked the cell lock, and returned the key to Zhou Pu.
It was a bunch of keys wrapped in copper wire as thick as the head of a chopstick.
After seeing what he wanted, Yuma subconsciously took a second look. Zhou Pu could see it clearly, but he didn't say anything.
I saw Zhou Pu walking to the cell door with the key ring, looking at Yuma and saying coldly: "Don't think that because you are a member of Yuma, I won't dare to deal with you."
"What a loud tone!... Prince Su didn't give the order to kill me, so what can you do to me?" Yuma said with a sneer.
Zhou Pu sneered when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you know what I can do to you!"
After that, he opened the lock with a snap, then waved his hand and ordered: "Except for this bastard, bring all the other people out to me."
After hearing this, the Shang Shui army rushed into the prison, put weapons on the necks of the Yuma people, and took them out, leaving Yuma alone.
Seeing this, Zhou Pu hung the key ring on his waist, took out his sword and handed it to the Shang Shui sergeant beside him, then walked into the prison, hooked his finger at Yuma, and said coldly: "Come, I will play with you.
Play.”
Yuma stared at the key ring around Zhou Pu's waist, wanting to snatch it away.
But when he thought about the problem, he gave up again.
Also, what can I do if I snatch the key? I can't escape at all.
Just as Yuma was thinking about it, Zhou Pu did not hesitate, stepped forward and punched Yuma on the right side of his face, causing the latter to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
This bastard...
After receiving the punch, Yuma was furious and immediately began to fight back.
It's a pity that Zongwei has been taught by the Zongfu since he was a child. He has received strict training in long weapons, short weapons, fists and kicks, and riding skills. Although Yuma was born in Dang County, there are few people in the past ten years.
His martial arts skills have long since faded, so how can he be Zhou Pu's opponent? The Youma people outside the prison can only watch him being beaten up by Zhou Pu.
"Bang!"
With a heavy punch, Yuma was knocked down by Zhou Pu again.
Seeing this, Zhou Pu shook his head and said coldly: "It's a big tone, but it's a pity that my skills are sparse..."
But at this moment, Yuma saw the opportunity and stretched out his foot to kick Zhou Pu's right foot hard.
Zhou Pu was unprepared. He suddenly leaned forward and banged against the cell door. Immediately, blood started to flow from his forehead.
"Lord Zongwei!"
Under the horrified gazes of the Shoshui soldiers, Yuma chuckled and said, "You deserve it!"
"..." Touching the blood on his forehead, Zhou Pu's face showed a strong look of anger, and he reached out to grab Yuma. Unexpectedly, Yuma was already prepared and grabbed Zhou Pu's shirt with his backhand. The two of them rolled and struggled in the cell.
stand up.
While the two were fighting, Yuma touched Zhou Pu's key ring and actually tried to put it around Zhou Pu's neck and strangle him to death.
Unexpectedly, his wrist strength was not as good as Zhou Pu's, so Zhou Pu put a key ring around his neck.
"Brother Yuma!"
Under the horrified and anxious gazes of the Yuma crowd, Yuma, whose neck was strangled, tightly grasped the copper ring with both hands, but was unable to shake Zhou Pu's arm strength at all. His face turned red and his eyes began to turn white.
But at this moment, there was a loud bang, the copper wire broke, and the keys scattered on the floor.
Looking at Yuma who was lying on the ground and seemed to be unconscious, Zhou Pu took a few long breaths, picked up the fallen keys from the ground, and walked out of the cell door with a sneer.
After a while, the Yuma people were put back into the cell again. They gathered around Yuma and shouted anxiously, but Yuma seemed to have passed out, clutching the copper wire tightly and showing no reaction.
It wasn't until Zhou Pu led Shang Shuijun away that Yuma suddenly opened his eyes, raised the copper wire in his hand, and smiled as if he had succeeded.
He would never have thought that Zongwei Zhou Pu, who had walked out of the prison at this time, had stopped to look at the keys in his hand, with a smile on his face.
"Huh, pretty smart..."
As he said this, he reached out and touched his forehead, which was still bleeding, and gritted his teeth in pain.
"What a shady move, bastard..." (To be continued.)
