Chapter 722: People who are crazy are invincible
It was not just Yue Qianqiu who was familiar with Xiao Jingxian, but who had personally experienced that farce. Xiao Jingxian fell into the trap. Qi Xuan was considered a soft dough. Although he was a left-behind Nanjing, he had the advantage of military power, but he was bullied by the princes and nobles who came to Beijing. However, the facts proved that his concessions were just for others to see, and his methods and vision were extremely accurate.
At this moment, he directly raised such a sharp question. Seeing Xiao Jingxian suddenly fell silent, he sneered and said, "To be honest, His Highness King Jin was able to see through my step-by-step concessions just to act, but I was a little surprised to find those guys who came from Shangjing. But what I didn't expect was that even though he could buy people to fan the flames, His Highness King Jin insisted on going on the battle himself, and deliberately exposed flaws when dealing with Xu Houcong. This is really unreasonable."
"It is true that two fists cannot match four hands, but it is unnatural that His Highness King Jin insists on putting himself in such a desperate situation. Therefore, since I can't understand why you have to fall into the trap, I have to be careful to see you."
Xiao Jingxian finally laughed, and then said lazily: "Lord Qi is the first person to support the Sixth Prince. But as far as I know, you can sit in the seat left behind in Nanjing for ten years, not because your mother and wife are all surnamed Xiao, but because you were the one promoted by my brother-in-law in the early years."
"And, Kangle also arrived in Bazhou via Nanjing Road. The reason why the Emperor's Six Seals were sent to Bazhou is that it would not be successful without your acquiescence. Am I right?"
If Xiao Jingxian had not been covered with shackles and was covered with scars and looked unprecedentedly embarrassed, the four guards in front of Qi Xuan even had an illusion, as if the person was not locked on the wall, but was sitting happily on the chair of the Grand Master, and talking with a high voice.
Not only them, but even Qi Xuan himself also had the same illusion, as if it was still Xiao Jingxian who was in Shangjing, and he was just a lieutenant to visit this uncle. Although he got rid of it in a moment, or overcame this illusion that arises due to the difference in his past status, his entire aura was frustrated.
He didn't answer Xiao Jingxian's words, and his eyes showed a bit of ferocity: "His Highness King Jin is still in prison but still does not change his nature. Do you think that my left-behind residence in Nanjing can't pry open a person's mouth?"
"You can try it all." Xiao Jingxian casually spit out a few words. When he saw Qi Xuan's eyes showing his murderous intent outside the wooden fence, he said lightly, "Actually, as long as you can't suppress your curiosity or doubts, and come here to see me, then my goal is achieved. Hold you hostage or kill you... Haha, even if the Sixth Prince comes here in person, I don't have that good leisure, let alone you."
Such extreme words that do not take people seriously were spoken out from a prisoner. Even if Qi Xuan had strong self-control, he could not help but be furious at this moment. However, the next moment, he suddenly savored the deeper meaning of Xiao Jingxian's words.
From the moment he learned that Xiao Jingxian was captured, he, the left-behind Nanjing, didn't even bother to deal with the sixth prince, and immediately rushed back from the outside military camp three times. After discovering that Xu Houcong was seriously injured and dying, Xiao Jingxian was also unconscious due to excessive blood loss. After he thought for a little, he moved Xu Houcong to another place and locked Xiao Jingxian into the dungeon of the left-behind mansion alone.
Immediately after washing away the disguise on Xiao Jingxian's face and proving that he was indeed right, he wanted to prevent Xiao Jingxian from being captured without any intention, so that he could find the heaviest shackles and lock them tightly, but he also mobilized the best trauma doctor and ordered that Xiao Jingxian be awakened at all costs, hoping to ask the other party about the news he wanted.
In order to avoid those people, including the Sixth Prince, coming to disrupt the situation because they learned that Xiao Jingxian and Xu Houcong were in his hands, he ordered a message early to say that he was not in the left-behind mansion and to turn away all those who wanted to see him. Now, after he was sent to this cell, he had woken up and could talk to others. He had not seen anyone outside for at least two hours!
Thinking of this, Qi Xuan no longer cared about Xiao Jingxian, turned around and walked out. But a faint voice was like a maggot on his body, and he tightly wrapped around him: "It's too late."
Hearing this voice, Qi Xuan was stunned at first, and then immediately accelerated his pace. However, before he could reach the door, he heard a thunderous sound, followed by a loud bang, and the earth was shaking, and the stone slabs above his head seemed to be wailing.
He was unable to stand firmly and tried to grasp something to stabilize his body, but several guards also fell and fell because of this sudden movement. When he finally stumbled and touched the wooden door leading to the outside world, before he could pull it open with force, he heard a click, and then the wooden door suddenly split.
"Quick, rush out!"
Qi Xuan roared angrily, and as the two guards behind him rushed forward, he rushed out without saying a word, regardless of the splashing wooden door fragments. He was about to follow him, but suddenly he felt creepy. His instinct for danger had saved him many times, so that he involuntarily took a step back involuntarily.
It was this difference between advance and retreat that he saw a scene that shocked him. In an instant, the long stone path leading to the surface suddenly collapsed completely. The two guards who rushed out did not even have time to make a sound, and were completely buried by countless earth and rocks.
Seeing that the passage representing life and hope turned into a deadly abyss in front of him, Qi Xuan felt his mind blank at first, then turned around in shock and angrily, looking at the prison he thought was impregnable just now.
I saw that Xiao Jingxian, who was originally handcuffed to the wall in the dungeon, was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment. Although the chains buried deep in the wall were still locked on one end, his neck and hands and feet, the other end completely fell off due to the huge shock just now.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Jingxian wrapping the long chains around his arms like toys. Even though the wooden fences that were deeply rooted in the ground had not yet collapsed, there was still a barrier between him and Xiao Jingxian. However, Qi Xuan couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
"What the hell do you want to do!" Like countless people who have suffered losses in the hands of this demon king, Qi Xuan also roared with anger and hatred, "Aren't you afraid of burying the ground?"
"Sometimes, it takes a little luck to do big things." Xiao Jingxian's lips raised slightly, and a smile appeared on his face as if he was very glad that he was not dead, and he seemed to regret that the King of Hell did not accept him again. "If I die, then it would be bad luck and I deserve it. But since I am not dead, it proves that luck is on my side."
If Qi Xuan had heard such nonsense in the past, he would definitely sneer. But now he and Xiao Jingxian were trapped in the depths of the ground. Even if there were two guards holding iron shields beside him, even if there were three jailers who were known as masters of torture, even if Xiao Jingxian could not escape, even if there were many of his confidants in the left-behind mansion on the ground, these people should have saved him, but he could not feel a sense of security at all.
He thought he was cautious enough, but in the end he even made a prisoner overturn the market!
Xiao Jingxian continued to wrap around the chains and said slowly: "What just exploded was the gunpowder that had been buried near the dungeon of the Left-Steward Mansion in Nanjing. The reason why it was not for the assassination or poison that would take your life to Lord Qi is because I am not interested in taking your life. Compared with your life, the military power in Nanjing is the most important thing."
He played with the sharp iron hook that was buried deep into the wall at the end of the chain, so the color of the chain outside was completely different. Then he raised his head and swept the crowd who were many people but silent: "Such a good opportunity, since the Sixth Prince is known as the commander-in-chief, if he doesn't know how to catch it, he will really be a puppet for the rest of his life."
Qi Xuan's face finally turned completely pale. He took a deep breath and shouted at the two guards on the left and right who were also as white as paper: "Dig, dig out a path at all costs! You can't let that waste snack completely ruin my years of hard work!"
As he said, he stared at Xiao Jingxian viciously: "Xiao Jingxian, I have six people here, you are only one. Your injury is just a little lighter than Xu Houcong, and I don't believe you can keep it! Once you can't hold on, I will make you regret living in this world!"
"Many people have said this, but none of the people who said it in front of me survived."
Xiao Jingxian smiled and leaned against the wall behind as if nothing had happened, as if he was not worried that the wall would collapse like the wooden door and the passage leading to the outside: "I have experienced the days of dying without food or drinking, so Lord Qi has time to threaten me. It would be better to think about it, when you, the so-called loyal subordinates, are desperate, they will still regard me as food!"
"You want them to dig out a life channel for you, but you don't think about it. How long can they last without food or drink? As for those people outside, do you think I will let them dig a hole and rescue you?"
Qi Xuan was shocked when he heard Xiao Jingxian's words, but deliberately pretended to be sarcastic. However, when he saw the two guards and three jailers' eyes flashing, but no one showed his loyalty, and everyone almost instinctively avoided his gaze, at that moment, his already pale face finally disappeared, and he couldn't help but put all his hopes on those confidants who were still outside.
They can naturally persevere in one or two days, but as long as they last a long time...
Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard two whistles. In an instant, the dungeon, which was originally only dim, suddenly fell into complete darkness. He found that Xiao Jingxian didn't know what to use to turn off the lights. He was shocked and angry and heard Xiao Jingxian's cold and faint voice again.
"Don't be wrong. I didn't plan to do anything to you when I was in the dark. But now the passage leading to the outside has collapsed. I don't know how many vents leading to the outside in this prison have left. If the lamp continues to burn, I'm afraid that all of us will suffocate to death. Of course, if all the vents collapse, we won't live long. In short, let it go to fate and see if God will take us together."
Faced with Xiao Jingxian's indifferent attitude as if he was gambling, Qi Xuan was so angry that he was filled with smoke, accompanied by deep regret. He always knew that Xiao Jingxian was changing and crazy and bloodthirsty, but he had never experienced this guy's madness in his own hands. If he had known that he would have faced such a dilemma at the moment, he would have killed the person at the first moment of knowing that he had caught Xiao Jingxian!
When the explosion suddenly occurred in the left-behind mansion, Yue Qianqiu was bored waiting for Erjie's news in the adjacent courtyard. Yan Xu was originally accompanied by him, but when he found that the situation had escalated to almost out of control, Yan Xu could not wait here as Erjie said, so not long after Erjie left, Yan Xu told him to stay honestly and left in a hurry.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the explosion, Yue Qianqiu jumped up suddenly. He whispered a swear word in anger, and then he couldn't help but hesitate. Because they were too close, the walls and the house had just shaken a lot, and even soil and rocks fell on the walls. You can imagine what chaos was like at the moment in the left-behind mansion. Should he climb over the wall to the left-behind mansion to see what was going on?
Although there are considerable risks in doing this, he still couldn't stay honestly due to his personality. He came to the edge of the wall, climbed up carefully, poked out half of his head and took a look. When he found that there was no one in the small yard separated by the wall, he immediately jumped over the wall without thinking.
When Yue Qianqiu rushed to the messy lobby of the left-behind mansion like a swimming fish, he had already changed his outfit. At first glance, he looked exactly like those servants who were like ants on a hot pan, inconspicuous. In such chaos, no one could care whether there was one more person around, and all kinds of shouts came one after another.
So, in this noisy environment like a vegetable market, the news that Yue Qianqiu wanted to inquire was heard without any effort.
"The left-behind Lord and Xiao Jingxian were trapped in the dungeon together! Hurry up, mobilize people and dig the entrance!"
The moment he heard the news, Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't believe that the Sixth Prince could have such decisive skills. He suspected that Xiao Qingqing's thoughts were fleeting, and the one that occupied the center of his mind was an idea that could not be suppressed at all. Could it be that Xiao Jingxian's biggest purpose in directing and leading the monkey show was for this?
What is this? Both jade and stones are burned? Is it necessary to die together?
If Xiao Jingxian's "surprise" before was already distracting enough, then Yue Qianqiu felt that his entire head had been filled with mud, and he didn't know how to evaluate Xiao Jingxian's madness. It was better to hang in the rescue team and confirm Xiao Jingxian's life and death, but reason told him that the madman must have a trick.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly felt one hand resting on his shoulder. His muscles were tense at first, and then he heard Erjie's annoyed scolding sound coming from his ears. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, but at this moment, a louder shout completely covered Erjie's voice.
