Chapter 512: Mantis and the Oriole (2)

Suddenly, a voice came from outside, as if someone was arguing and begging for something. Zhong Yangui stood up and wanted to walk to the window to hear it clearly. After walking two steps, he found that the length of the chain was too short to reach the window at all. He paused in annoyance, and suddenly found that the voice of the outside was quite familiar, and it turned out to be a woman.

The lieutenant at the gate of the courtyard was trying hard to stop Zhong Yuancui from entering the courtyard and begged in a low voice: "There is a strict order for anyone to enter the courtyard after staying, otherwise all guards will be beheaded and their wife will be buried in the government office. Princess, please do not make things difficult for the last general and his wife!"

"Does the 'anyone' that Brother Kuang Shi said include a certain family? I was just afraid that I would be lucky enough to join the villain to seek credit, and to treat my elder brother badly. Is it because I let outsiders see him, saying that he does not have the affection for his family for some power, but he does not have the reputation of brother Kuang Shi? If you block me like this, have you done something shameful?" At this time, Zhong Yuancui was not as weak as before, and was extremely smart and capable as she was. She pressed her step by step, and even the elderly officials were just like this.

The captain was so anxious that he was questioned by Zhong Yuancui and cried out in a stack of groans: "It's absolutely impossible. The meals of the princess in Jiangzhou were made in the kitchen of the royal palace. There was no harsh treatment at all. It was just a lieutenant, a gent figure, but he just acted according to his orders. How could he dare to join the prince's family affairs?"

"Hmph!" Zhong Yuancui's face was full of suspicion: "You villains, you are the most vicious. If you are like you said, why don't you let me in and take a look? It is obvious that there is something strange about it. As a mother of my family, would I do anything else?"

"This, this?" The captain couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. Seeing him like this, Zhong Yuancui reached out to take a golden hairpin from his bun and said softly: "If you are worried, you can watch it later. Just let me go in and see my elder brother, and just send some wine and food. After going out, I don't feel like I'll tell you this golden hairpin." Speaking of this, Zhong Yuancui threw the golden hairpin into the captain's arms, lowered her voice and threatened: "If you don't agree, I have nothing to say, but don't have a handle to fall into someone else's hands in the future!"

The captain couldn't help but complain when he heard this. As Zhong Yuancui said, maybe there was nothing he could do now, but the other party was Liu Hou's legitimate sister, so kind and noble. Such a person would be no different from killing him or killing an ant. Even Liu Hou knew the whole story, but if Liu Hou knew the whole story, he would just laugh. But if she was letting her in, she saw that she was just a woman, and what could she do. There were still hundreds of armored soldiers guarding her outside, even Zhong Yangui's ribs could not fly away, let alone the finely made of this golden hairpin. The pearl inlaid at the dragon's mouth was the size of an index finger, emitting a soft light. I'm afraid that it would be sent down by hundreds of people, and even for this golden hairpin, it was worth a fight.

Thinking of this, the captain gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I've used the courage to splash today and took on these relationships for you. You should come out soon, don't delay it. The villain and the whole family will miss you!"

"This is the smart person!" Zhong Yuancui smiled with satisfaction: "I'll take a look inside and give some wine and food and brother, and I'll never make things difficult for you." After that, she took the food basket from the maid next to her and followed the captain to the stone house in the yard.

The captain led Zhong Yuancui to the front of the door, took out a key from his arms and opened the door lock, carefully pushed open the heavy iron door, reached out and made a gesture of inviting him in, "Please do your best, don't delay!"

Zhong Yuancui nodded, with a slightly excited look on her face. She walked into the room and whispered: "Brother, I'm here to visit you!"

Zhong Yangui sat on the ground, his body moved slightly, and the iron chains on his hands and feet made a crisp sound, and he said in a deep voice: "Little sister, what are you doing in this place?"

At this time, Zhong Yuancui's eyes had adapted to the dim light in the stone house. She looked at the Mujia and the chains on Zhong Yangui's body, turned around and glared at the captain angrily, and ordered in a firm tone: "Open the Mujia on his body!"

The captain hesitated for a moment, and the next thing was Zhong Yuancui's scolding: "If you don't unlock the lock, I will tell you what you asked me to come in. You should know what the outcome will be!"

"Forget it, little sister, he is obedient to others, don't make things difficult for him!" Zhong Yangui replied in a deep voice, but he was calm and composed, as if he was the one here.

"Brother Yangui, he treats you like this, but you speak for him!" At this time, Zhong Yuancui no longer had the smart and capable appearance that had just happened, like a little girl who became coquettish.

"This is all the orders given by Kuang Shi. He is just a pawn. Little sister, this place is not where you should stay. Keep the food and go back quickly!"

Hearing Zhong Yangui's words, the captain threw himself over and glanced quickly. Zhong Yuancui hesitated for a moment, opened the food basket in her hand, put the plates one by one in the place where Zhong Yangui's hands were at their best, and said to the captain: "You open the Mujia so that my elder brother can eat. After he finishes eating, it's not too late to go. I'll leave after he finishes eating, can I?"

The captain did not dare to say anything. He quickly ordered his subordinates to open Mujia. After Zhong Yangui took off Mujia, he stretched his waist, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate the wine and food sent by Zhong Yuancui like a wind and cloud. Then he stretched out his hands and said to the captain: "Plus!"

Zhong Yuancui was simply unsuccessful and packed up the food basket and was discharged from the hospital. After the captain sent Zhong Yuancui out, he quickly returned to the window of the stone house. He carefully observed that there was no abnormality. He felt a stone in his heart falling to the ground. At this time, a breeze blew, and he felt a coldness on his back. When he reached out to touch it, he was already sweating all over.

When the captain walked away, Zhong Yangui looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he carefully took out something. When he opened it, it was a piece of silk paper wrapped in a handful of exquisite small files. He spread out the silk paper and walked to the window to the light and opened it. He saw a line of beautiful small words written on it, "Escape quickly, Chen Xiang kills you at night!"

After reading it, Zhong Yangui stuffed the silk paper into his mouth and chewed it down. There was no expression on his face. He sat back to the ground and began to file it hard. The steel mouth of the file was very good, and the one in his hand was just an iron leaf wooden shackle. After about a quarter of an hour, he heard the crack. The wooden shackle was broken by him, and he struggled hard and spread apart. Since Zhong Yangui's hands were free to open, it was even more convenient for him to move. After a while, he filed the shackles on his feet.

Zhong Yangui stood up and walked to the window. The iron railing above was as thick as two index fingers, and it emitted a cold light under the lights in the distance. Zhong Yangui looked at the sky. It was already late. It was probably within one hour. Chen Xiang, who was about to kill him, was about to arrive. However, the steel mouth of the small file had already receded, and there was no handy tool. In such a short time, he would never be able to cut off enough railings and find a way out. Thinking of this, Zhong Yangui turned around and swept the instruments in the house.

Chen Xiang rode on the horse, and the wind blew on his iron armor, like ice, but his heart was like fire and burning hot. Since leaving the palace, he has been like a small whirlwind, frantically between the barracks, docks and various yamen. The army has been organized and the ships are ready. As long as he solves Zhong Yangui in the prison of the palace, he will be 70% sure of this matter. Although the city walls in Jiangzhou are strong and the soldiers are elite, he does not have the brain of Zhong Yangui, and his hands and limbs are not afraid of being strong. As for the remaining 30% of the total, he will have to fight for it. If he is 50% sure of the matter in the world, he can go to the corner of his mouth. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xiang's mouth.

When he arrived at the gate of the house, Chen Xiang jumped off the horse. The lieutenant who was guarding the gate had already arrived in front of the gate to greet him. Chen Xiang asked in a low voice: "Is that guy still okay!"

"Report to Chen Zhanshu, I have been to see it half a moment ago. Everything is normal!" The captain replied respectfully. The person in front of him was the think tank of the future, but he was a great man.

"Okay! Take me in!" Chen Xiang nodded with satisfaction and walked quickly into the yard. The group walked to the door. Chen Xiang looked into the house through the crack in the door. With the help of the dim light, he vaguely saw a dark human-shaped object at the corner of the wall, which should be Zhong Yangui.

"Open the door and wait for you to wait outside. No one is allowed to step into the courtyard! Anyone!"

"Yes, I will obey the order!" The captain opened the door lock and retreated to the outside without pushing it. He didn't need much sensitive nerves. He could also feel what was about to happen in the house. It would be better to stay away from here, so as not to be affected by the fish. Thinking of this, he touched the hard object in his arms again. The captain's face showed a smug smile. As long as Zhong Yangui died of breath later, the things that he had gained were never leaked.

Chen Xiang pushed open the heavy iron door, and the door shaft that was not rubbed enough oil made a harsh friction sound. Strangely, this sound was very pleasant in Chen Xiang's ears. He walked into the house, bowed to the figure in the corner of the house, and said in the polite tone as much as possible: "Mr. Zhong, let the official take you to the road!"

But there was no movement in the corner of the wall. Chen Xiang's face changed slightly, but she did not step forward. Zhong Yangui's bravery had left a deep impression on him. Although he was already a tiger in the trap at this time, the tiger was a tiger, and he didn't want to be the target of the other party's dying revenge. He reached out his hand and made a gesture to the subordinates behind him, and then said loudly: "Mr. Please get up, the time is up. Let the officials take you to your way!"

There was still no movement in the corner of the wall. At this time, the subordinates behind him had already handed over the lantern. When the light shone on the corner of the wall, Chen Xiang's face suddenly changed. He saw that there was only a broken wooden shackle in the corner of the wall, with Zhong Yangui's iron armor on it. As for Zhong Yangui himself, he had long disappeared.
