The bandit wrote down all the inside information he knew and pressed his fingerprints. He thought he could live a good life for a few days, but he didn't expect Third Master Huan to stuff an anesthetic into his mouth without saying a word. Famed, not to mention running away, he couldn't even utter a word, and he looked like he was dying of terminal illness.

A group of people followed the prefect of Yunzhou and continued on the road. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from Yunzhou, they were getting closer and closer to Jinling, and they made a big circle and turned back.

Although his relationship with the prefect of Yunzhou is very secret, no one knows about it except for a few confidantes, but the third prince has never mentioned the matter of revealing his identity, and only followed him not far or near.Some people in the convoy left to visit relatives, some people wanted to go to Jinling, so they kept following them, and some people kept joining in, but no one noticed.

On this day, the convoy stopped at a post station, and they could enter Jinling City by walking a hundred li further.The post station is full of simple shacks to accommodate the victims.Seeing the convoy, the victims wanted to swarm up to beg, but bumped into the yamen servant who opened the way, and quickly dodged.They were chased and shot by the officers and soldiers guarding Jinling City, and they were afraid for a long time.

The magistrate of Yunzhou bought several carts of rice from the grain merchant out of his own pocket. Seeing this situation, he quickly ordered the servants to set up pots to cook porridge so that these people could have a full meal.The merchants who followed him on the journey also donated generously.

Jia Huan took out a small bag of rice from the parcel and handed it to the mute girl to donate it. When the magistrate's servant accepted it with a smile, he couldn't help baring his teeth with a pained expression.

"Don't look at it. There are everything in the station, let's buy it again! Put it on my account." The third prince half dragged and half carried the boy into the station, dumbfounded.Due to the large number of people in the convoy, this time only two upper rooms were booked, and five people can make do if squeezed together.

After clearing the table of food and drink, Xiao Ze went out with a toothpick in his mouth to investigate the situation.The porridge shed set up by the prefect of Yunzhou was densely packed with victims.The person who received the porridge quickly hugged the porridge bowl and withdrew, hiding in a corner where no one was around, and swallowed it. After drinking, he continued to squeeze back, hoping to get another bowl.

Passing by a corner, I saw two strong disaster victims trying to grab porridge from a hunchbacked old man, Xiao Ze was about to draw his sword to help, a bigger man with a stronger body and a beard on his face strode forward Going forward, he beat the two of them until they screamed, and cursed in a vicious voice, "Boy! How dare you bully my father! Do you want to die, I will help you today!" After saying that, there was another pause beat up.

Xiao Ze froze on the spot when he heard the words, not because of his brutal behavior, but because of his familiar voice. He will never get it wrong in his life!

His heart was beating wildly, Xiao Ze hurriedly hid in the dark, saw the strong man helping his father back to lie down in the shed, he lay down for more than half an hour, it was dark and he didn't wake up.Just when Xiao Ze lost his patience and wanted to step forward to find out, the strong man got up and walked towards the grove while unbuttoning his trouser belt.

Xiao Ze followed immediately.

The strong man walked under a tree, lowering his head as if he was urinating, but as soon as Xiao Ze approached, he suddenly turned around, holding a cold machete in his hand, and slashed at the vital point.

Fortunately, Xiao Ze was prepared, and immediately raised his hatchet to block. The two of you came and went with me for more than a dozen moves, and the more they fought, the more they felt familiar. They couldn't help but both of them stepped back three steps, and shouted in unison, "Ji Yan (Xiao Ze)?"

"It's a good thing you speak quickly, otherwise your head will fall off." An extremely hoarse and low-pitched male voice came from behind Xiao Ze.

Xiao Ze was terrified, only then did he realize that at some point, there was a machete around his neck, as long as the person behind him gently slashed it, his blood would splatter three feet and he would die on the spot.Daqing has such ghostly skills, who else could it be except the Fifth Prince known as the 'Ghost General'?

"Five, fifth master, take it easy, my master is still waiting for me to go back!" Xiao Ze stammered.

This sentence seemed to please the fifth prince, he put down the knife and sneered, "I knew he couldn't die! Where is he? Take me to see him!" He pulled out the thick layer of cotton padding on his back as he spoke, and faded away his rickets. The appearance of the old man showed a tall and strong figure.

"My lord is at the station, follow me." Xiao Ze touched his chilly neck and whispered.

"Wait a minute, I still need to bring some things." After the fifth prince finished speaking, he and his guard commander Ji Yan left quickly, and after a while, they each came over with an unconscious person on their shoulders.

"Mr. Gongyang?" Xiao Ze asked hesitantly, "My lord, why did you arrest him? But you found evidence of his collusion with bandits?"

"Hmph, when I met him on the mountain, he was leading a small group of troops. He was about to starve to death. He begged me to save the third brother. This time, there was a rebellion in the barracks. My people are absolutely fine. That's the problem with the third brother." I killed that team, and left this one for interrogation. I have long thought that this sour scholar is not pleasing to the eye, and if I say he has a problem, he has a problem, so what evidence is needed?"

In other words, you always plan to kill three thousand by mistake, and don't let one go?You've really hit the nail on the head!Xiao Ze wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, pointed to the person on Jiyan's shoulder and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Seeing that Ji Yan is fierce, he wanted to persuade Ji Yan to go up the mountain as a bandit, so I captured him and planned to torture him to find out some inside information. Maybe he is a bandit from Mang Mountain." The fifth prince said while holding the ram on his shoulder. Qian Qian threw it on Xiao Ze's back.

Xiao Ze quickly caught it, and thought to himself, Fifth Prince, that you are really good at it, but you have been called to the wrong place again!Thinking about it this way, I finally understood what was going on with the familiarity I felt from Third Master Huan.The actions of the Third Master Huan and the Fifth Prince are exactly the same, they are so evil and wanton, so domineering!When the devil king of the world comes and makes a pair, how can others live?

Xiao Ze sighed in his heart, but his feet were very agile, he led the two of them into the post station through the back door, and sneaked into the third prince's room quietly.

Before they got close to the door, Jia Huan noticed the difference in their footsteps, and quietly put his hand on the hatchet at his waist. The third prince was a few beats slower in reacting, and when he was about to be on guard, Xiao Ze had pushed the door open and entered. He whispered, "Grandpa, do you see who this is?"

Two very tall and strong figures slowly walked out from behind him.

Because both sides changed their appearances, one's skin was painted black, and the extremely powerful phoenix eyes were glued into triangular eyes, making him look shrewd and wretched; the other's hair was dyed white, and he wore a wrinkled human skin mask.At first glance, both sides felt strange, but when their eyes met, they could read each other's identities from the familiar eyes.

"You really are not dead!" The white-haired old man stepped forward and laughed.

"You're not dead." The Third Prince made a disappointed expression.

The third prince is eight feet tall, standing next to the white-haired old man, he is still half a head shorter than him, and his sturdy figure is also thin and thin.Jia Huan slowly lowered his hand holding the handle of the knife, probably guessing the identity of this person.At that time, the fifth prince of the dynasty, Tu Quexi, the number one fierce general in Daqing known as Ghost Jianchou and Ghost General.Who else could bring such a strong bloody aura besides him who killed like hemp?

Jia Huan closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath without any trace.

The fifth prince pointed to the dumb brother and sister and a half-year-old boy standing behind his brother, and asked, "Who are they?"

"This is Brother Jia Huan, the concubine son of Jia Zheng in the Rongguo Mansion. We met halfway, and thanks to his help, we escaped. These two children also met halfway, and since their parents are dead, we took them in. "The third prince briefly introduced, and stepped forward slightly, blocking the boy's figure.Inexplicably, he didn't like Lao Wu paying too much attention to Huan'er.

The fifth prince was not interested in these little people, and he didn't think that a boy in his early ten years could help his brothers much. Because he had many things in his mind, he immediately ordered, "You all go out."

The Fifth Prince is a muddleheaded man with a very volatile temper. He smiles at you kindly at one moment, and can chop you into mincemeat with a knife in the next second.Jia Huan himself is also like this, so he knows that he should keep a respectful distance from such people, and he doesn't say much, he bows his head and exits with the two children, and closes the door by the way.

Seeing Huan'er leaving obediently, the Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief, poured a cup of tea, and said in a warm voice, "Sit down, how are you doing these days?"

"What a pleasure! If it wasn't for looking for you, I would still be playing with them in Mangshan Mountain!" The fifth prince said while tearing off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a handsome face with sharp edges and corners, which is about the same as the third prince. Similar facial features, but none of the elegant elegance of the other party. There is a deep imprint of the word "Chuan" between the slender brows flying obliquely into the temples, which is caused by frowning all the year round, which makes him hard, harsh, cold and domineering.

As soon as he sat on the golden knife on his horse, the hostility all over his body flowed out uncontrollably, which was more terrifying than the cold wind outside the window.

The third prince has long been accustomed to this kind of momentum, and pushed the teacup to his hand, seeing Xiao Ze and Ji Yan rudely throwing away the people on his shoulders, he couldn't help but look over, his face turned cold, "Gongyangqian? I was just looking for him , didn’t want to fall into your hands.”

"I met him in the mountains. I brought a small group of people and said that I would save you. I cut everyone off immediately, thinking that he was responsible for the trick of the hornbill, and I might be able to find out some inside information, so I left him alone. Stay here." The fifth prince said casually.

"Are you so sure that he is a spy?" The third prince raised his eyebrows.

"I said that he is him, but he is not. The master is dead, how can he have the right to live alone? If you can't judge anything, send him down to accompany you."

"I don't need him to accompany you." The third prince was extremely disgusted.

The fifth prince waved his hand generously, "Which concubine do you like? Shall I send them down together?"

The third prince supported his forehead, and emphasized word by word, "Fifth, I'm still alive." After thinking for a moment, he explained to him one by one what he had found out these days.

The two were relatively silent. After a long time, the Fifth Prince sighed, "Boss has a good heart and good means! He really hides it! Compared with him, the crown prince is just a pussy!" Thinking of something for a while, he laughed again, and clapped his hands and said, "You don't know, these days Su Pengju is also leading a large number of people to search for my traces in Mangshan Mountain. At that time, I thought he was here to save me, but because I didn't have enough fun, I watched him go away several times in the dark. It’s really interesting to think about it now! I still have some people left in Mang Mountain, and I’m taking them all over the mountain right now! If you don’t kill me, Boss will probably have trouble sleeping at night.”

"There are too many people who can't sleep." The third prince sneered, and asked in a low voice, "What can you find out from Gong Yangqian's mouth?"

The fifth prince immediately stopped laughing, and his tone turned gloomy, "No, he has a very hard mouth, he killed himself innocently, and he didn't change his words after many tortures. I admire him a little bit."

The third prince looked down, and saw that Gong Yangqian's tendon had been cut off, his fingernails were all pulled out, and the skin hidden under his clothes seemed to be full of scars.If it wasn't Lao Wu but someone else, relying on his trust in him in the past and his good reputation of loyalty, he might have believed his innocence and acquitted him.

The fifth prince seemed to feel ashamed, and explained in a low voice, "Because there is no torture room, I can't use many methods here. It's just right to meet you now, and everyone says that the cunning rabbit has three caves. You are thousands of times more cunning than a rabbit, and you must have your own foothold. .Let’s find a place to set up torture tools and have a good trial of him. Then I will be able to pry his mouth open!”

The third prince murmured, "I have a foothold in Yunzhou. I wanted to go there, but I ran into the prefect of Yunzhou on the way, and I followed him to Jinling..."

"Don't tell me that you don't have a stronghold in such important places as Jinling, this is not your style." The Fifth Prince sneered.

The Third Prince glanced at him helplessly, nodded and said, "Naturally there is Jinling, and it is the Yunlai Inn opposite Sakai Alley."

"Sakai Alley? That's opposite the Governor's Mansion. Well, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so let's go there." The fifth prince immediately made a decision, but after a while he looked embarrassed, "It's just the third child, now Su Pengju It’s like an iron barrel guarded in Jinling, and there is no identity document and guide, how can we get in? We can’t rely on this, can we?” He said while taking out his prince’s jade token from the lapel of his clothes.

"Wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." The third prince showed a real smile on his face, and pushed the door to go out.

The door of the next room was not closed, Jia Huan asked the waiter from the shop for a set of Pai Gow, and he was touching with his dumb brother and sister, and there were some scraps of silver piled on the table.

The third prince shook his head and laughed, walked over to rub the boy's bun, and said helplessly, "Why don't you let go of the child's money?"

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat." Jia Huan turned his head to avoid it.

The third prince laughed outright, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Give me four ID cards and guides, and the price is up to you."

Jia Huan raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was begging for the fifth prince, he stretched out a slap and gestured, seeing him nodding readily, then handed over the four official documents that he had confiscated from the bandits before, and said, "This is High-end goods, remember to come back when you're done, I can give them a [-]% discount."

The third prince rubbed his head, went out with a smile, returned to the room and handed the things to his brother, and ordered, "Take the official documents and take them away with you. Let's go our separate ways tomorrow morning and meet up at the Yunlai Inn."

The fifth prince took a closer look and saw that the four identity certificates were different from those of ordinary common people. Under the official seal, there was also the private seal of the governor of Liangjiang, which can only be owned by the prestigious people in Jinling. Where did it come from?"

"It was searched by the bandits. This is a clear proof of the collusion between the officials and the bandits. Remember to return it to me after you use it up." The third prince seriously urged.

The fifth prince patted his forehead angrily, and sighed, "Hey, why didn't I remember to search for his parcel when I caught that bandit! Ji Yan, did you search?" He turned his head to look at the commander of his guards.

Jiyan bowed and replied, "Master, he didn't carry the package in his hand at that time, he thought it was hidden somewhere, and someone should have picked it up right now."

"Sure enough, the third one is lucky!" The fifth prince sighed for a while, and asked his brothers to call two buckets of hot water, take a bath and rest comfortably, and in the early morning, he carried the man and hid in a dark place, temporarily parting ways.
