Seven hundred and ninetieth nine chapters perish together
The pottery merchant and others rushed to the corridor at the entrance of the dungeon.
But they saw that the entire corridor had been set on fire, with a sea of flames and thick smoke billowing.
And in the sea of fire, the screams of pain from the prisoners in the cells seemed to be echoing.
"The fire is so big, the exit is blocked by the fire." Xu Chu coughed and stepped back: "Prime Minister, what should I do?"
Huang Xu pointed behind him and said: "Right now, it's just the exit corridor that's on fire. There's nothing behind. Why don't we hide behind us and the people above will come to save us soon."
The potter shook his head and said: "No, although the fire cannot burn the back, the space here is too airtight and the thick smoke cannot escape. We will all be choked to death in a short while."
Ah Fei stamped his feet fiercely and said: "Where are those bastards who set fire? I will cut them into pieces!"
There was a trace of helplessness on the face of the Tiger Guard soldier. He raised his finger and pointed to the fire corridor in front of him and said: "Those who set fire to the fire all pretended to be prisoners and locked themselves in the cells. They are the people waiting for them."
After entering the dungeon, we set a fire in our cell, so I didn't stop them in time... After all, they were in the cell and we were outside the cell."
Ah Fei was surprised when he heard this: "You mean...those people set fire to their own cells in order to block our return...didn't they burn themselves alive?"
The Tiger Guard soldier sighed and nodded with lingering fear.
Xu Chu shuddered and said: "Damn, he is worthy of admiration..."
Huang Xu frowned and said: "Are these the dead soldiers left by Cao Cao in the city, waiting for the day when the city is broken, and then...?"
Speaking of this, everyone looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Don't look at me. I don't know about Sikong's raising of dead soldiers."
The pottery merchant sighed and said: "This is not an option right now. Hurry to the back and look for quilts and water. We have to risk our lives and rush out."
Xu Chu looked at the potter in confusion and said: "Rush out and rush straight away. Why do you need a quilt and water?"
The pottery merchant smiled bitterly and said: "You are not afraid of being burned, but I am. At least when you rush out, your body will not be burned over a large area. Moreover, you can use a quilt dipped in water to cover your mouth and nose, so that you can avoid being choked by the smoke as much as possible.
Passing out...smoke is more terrifying than fire."
Several Tiger Guard soldiers hurriedly went behind to look for supplies.
There are indeed these things in there, but they don't seem to be too many.
After a rough calculation, if we make a quilt in groups of two, there seems to be one person left.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but their eyes finally fell on Xun Yu.
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I am Sikong's subordinate, and I was ordered to guard Xuchang. Now that the city has been destroyed, there is no hope for life, and you must die. You don't need to worry about me, just run away."
"Bang!" The pottery merchant reached out and slapped Xun Yu on the head. Stars appeared in his eyes, and he looked at the pottery merchant in confusion.
"You, why did you hit me on the head?"
The potter said calmly: "This is caressing."
"Has anyone ever caressed her so hard?" Xun Yu was a little angry.
This little faint is so bullying! Does he think I’m honest and easy to bully?
The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "A trivial matter can lead to life and death. How about the Xun family in Yingchuan? Look at what you look like."
Xun Yu touched his head and looked at him blankly.
The potter looked back and forth carefully, then pointed at Huang Xu and said: "You are thin, Xun Yu is also thin, and I am also thin. The three of us will make a quilt."
Ah Fei heard this and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, why is this necessary? Otherwise, you and Xu Chu should use the same quilt. The general will share the same quilt with Huang Xu and Xunjun."
Xu Chu also said: "Prime Minister, why take such a risk? I will just rush out with Xun Yu on my back. His hundred and ten kilograms of meat are nothing!"
The potter frowned and said: "Don't be stubborn, you are both big and strong, and the two of you are already very crowded, so that's it, don't wait any longer, the fire will get stronger and no one can get out!"
Xun Yu was listening to the conversation of several people. For some reason, he felt indescribably moved in his heart.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Prime Minister, please follow me to the back."
The pottery merchant turned around and glanced at him, saying: "Don't make any more trouble. Didn't I tell you? If you hide behind now, you will choke to death sooner or later."
Xun Yu said calmly: "No, there is a tunnel at the bottom of the cell."
After saying this, everyone present was stunned.
"Is there a tunnel under this prison?" the pottery merchant asked doubtfully.
"But, there is a tunnel here, how did you know about it?"
"Nonsense, I was the one who supervised the construction of this prison. In the entire Xuchang City, I am the only one besides Sikong who knows that there is a tunnel here for emergencies."
The potter washed his nose and said, "The last question, why didn't you ask me just now?"
"I was just thinking about whether I should die with you."
Potter: "..."
…
Outside the dungeon, Ji Ling and Zhang Xiu were directing the soldiers to pour water and sand into the increasingly burning dungeon to extinguish the fire.
But because the incident happened so suddenly and the water source was still too far away from the dungeon, it was impossible to extinguish such a huge fire in a short period of time.
Ji Ling anxiously walked back and forth at the dungeon door, his forehead covered with anxious sweat.
"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Ji Ling jumped on the spot as if he was possessed by a demon, with sweat pouring down from his forehead.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Xiu finally couldn't control himself, his legs went weak, he knelt down directly to the cell door with a "pop" sound, and shouted heartbreakingly at the cell door: "Prime Minister!
"
Zhang Xiu's eyes were full of tears, and his heartbreaking voice resounded throughout the world: "Prime Minister, you can't leave! You are leaving! How should I explain to the people of the world? Prime Minister! Come out quickly!"
Ah! Come out, Prime Minister!"
Behind Zhang Xiu, a heavy cough suddenly sounded: "General Zhang is such a loyal minister, howling so scary... I'm out."
When Zhang Xiu heard this voice, he jumped up from where he was in fright.
Behind him, the pottery merchant and the other people who had just descended into the dungeon miraculously stood behind them at this moment, with gray-headed faces and blackened faces, looking as embarrassed as they could be.
But thankfully, it is obvious that these embarrassed people are still alive?
Zhang Xiu pointed at the potter tremblingly, as if he couldn't even speak.
"Are you a human or a ghost?"
The pottery merchant laughed when he heard this: "When I was a human, I could bring peace to the world and stabilize the world. If I really turned into a ghost, what kind of harm would I do to the world? You'd better not hope to become a ghost.
"
Zhang Xiu blinked, and it took him a long time to realize his gaffe.
Behind him, all the soldiers, including Ji Ling, were shouting: "Prime Minister Hongfu! Prime Minister Hongfu!"
Pei Qian also hurried over with a bucket. He looked at the pottery merchant up and down and said, "Prime Minister, did you fly out?"
The potter grinned and said, "You praised me for not being able to fly. In fact, I drilled it out."
