C431 Visiting
It turned out that the post officer's surname was Meng. He nodded at the man and said to Yang Xuan, "Lieutenant Yang, I won't be able to go in when I get outside. Just follow him in. I will meet you outside."
After saying that, the two of them walked through a few alleys under the man's lead and arrived outside the Lo Capital Tiger Cage.
The building was similar to the capital's. A small door opened in the middle of the Tiger Cage's door for prison guard to enter and exit. There were two teams of heavily guarded soldiers standing at the door. They were Weiyuan Marquis's men.
"Password."
Once they reached the door, the few of them were stopped by the colonel at the side. The prison guard smiled and replied, "Nothing happened today."
The password was correct. Looking at the prison guard again, it was indeed familiar. Only then did the colonel slowly ask, "Who is this?"
The prison guard bowed slightly and said, "Captain, you might not know that you just entered the city. This is a wanted criminal from the government a long time ago. Today, he has been arrested. The officer from the government sent him over. Please do me a favor."
The commander looked at Yang Xuan and the post officer behind him and frowned. "If he is a prisoner, you can bring him in. There are many arrangements in the prison recently. Be careful when you walk."
After saying that, the Captain took a step back and let the people behind him open the door. They let prison guard and Yang Xuan enter the Tiger Prison together.
After entering the door, there was a gloomy and dark corridor in front of him. On both sides of the corridor were several feet wide prison cells. Yang Xuan gave a rough glance and did not see Yuh Qingcheng, but he felt a sense of crisis instead.
Seeing Yang Xuan looking around, prison guard immediately guessed what he was thinking. He said in a low voice, "Lieutenant, the girl you are looking for has been locked up in the heavy prison. We can only see her after going to the innermost part of the prison."
Yang Xuan calmed down a little and followed him. The soldiers guarding the place had been beaten up a long time ago. When they saw that the two of them did not care about it, they were still doing something.
When they reached a huge iron door, the prison guard took out a bunch of keys and opened the door. He said in a low voice, "Go in, Lieutenant. The person is inside."
When Yang Xuan heard that, he stuck his head out and saw Yuh Qingcheng squatting in the corner, holding her little head as if she was thinking about something.
"Qingcheng..."
With a soft call, Yuh Qingcheng immediately reacted. She turned her head and was overjoyed to see Yang Xuan.
"Silly, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to save you."
Yang Xuan slowly walked in as he spoke. His eyes were on Yuh Qingcheng. A long chain tied her up. Other than that, there did not seem to be any other injuries, which made him feel relieved.
This chain looked slender and fragile. As long as one struggled lightly, it would break. However, to be able to bind Yuh Qingcheng here was definitely not an ordinary thing. It was definitely not as simple as it looked.
Sure enough, when Yang Xuan's spiritual sense covered it, he saw countless complex inscriptions in the Heavenly Eye.
"What's going on?" Yang Xuan slowly withdrew his spiritual sense and tried to use the wooden sword to cut the chain. However, a golden light burst out and bounced the wooden sword away. The chain itself was not damaged at all.
Yuh Qingcheng sighed helplessly. If she could cut off the chain with one sword, she would not have stayed here. She would have found an opportunity to escape long ago.
She studied the chain for a moment. No matter what methods Yang Xuan used, it was useless. She suddenly felt a little disheartened.
If she could not break the chain, even if there were people outside to help her, she would not be able to escape. She had to find a way to deal with it first.
Yang Xuan thought. He looked around and found that something was not right.
"Qingcheng, what's wrong with this chain? Who put it on you?"
"It's the young duke of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. He said he found the magic treasure from the elders of Shadow Pavilion and used it to threaten you." Yuh Qingcheng frowned slightly. She thought of the young duke's smug face and felt a little disgusted.
So that guy was planning to do this. Yang Xuan nodded thoughtfully, but it was about the same as what he had expected.
It seemed that only by going to the manor and finding the young duke would there be a way to unlock the chains.
"Qingcheng, wait for me here for the time being. I'll be back soon after making a trip." Yang Xuan turned around and was about to leave as he spoke.
"Silly girl, be careful. I'm worried that there are still people from the Shadow Pavilion in the manor. Be careful." Yuh Qingcheng said worriedly. She was afraid that Yang Xuan would not be able to save her and would instead fall into the enemy's hands.
"Don't worry. They won't be able to do anything to me."
After coming out and changing his attire, Yang Xuan dressed up as a prison guard and walked out of the Tiger Cage openly, heading straight to the Marquis Estate.
Currently, the Lo Capital was under martial law. There were patrolling officers and soldiers everywhere. Every family was confined to the main door. There was no anger at all. Instead, the tense atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier.
The post office and Yang Xuan were wearing official uniforms. They were not troubled along the way, but they were still interrogated a few times.
Watching a group of officers and soldiers leave, the face of the post office suddenly became hateful. He said, "These are the soldiers who were stationed outside the Profound Gate Pass in the past. Logically speaking, they are the soldiers under General Zhou. Yet they became the dogs of this manor. Truly detestable. "
Upon hearing that it had something to do with Zhou Fengmiao, Yang Xuan immediately became curious and asked, "Didn't General Zhou always have a strict rule? How could such a huge army rebel at the same time? Why didn't the Profound Gate Pass react? "
The post office let out a long sigh and said, "Lieutenant, there's something you don't know. The Lo Capital is an important economic place. Caravans from all over the place have gathered here. In order to make it convenient for these people, prime minister Xu gave the order to divide them."
" Split up? "
"The post office said, Yes, it is to divide the troops of Profound Gate Pass. A portion of the troops are stationed at the border to fight with Barbarian Clan. The other portion will be stationed near the Lo Capital. They will be in charge of protecting the trade routes and deterring the bandits. From now on, the good Profound Gate army will be divided into two groups, the border army and the Lo Capital army. "
" The border army will be directly led by General Zhou. Who will be the one to command the Lo Capital army? "
"Of course it will be Commander, Chen Sansi. However, after the destruction of Zhou family, this man was found out to have a lot of shady dealings, so he was demoted by General Zhou."
"So that's how it is. Lo Capital is thousands of miles away from Profound Gate Pass, and General Zhou is on the border. No one is in charge of the Lo Capital army. As long as some people are deliberately urging them to do so, they will naturally become rebellious."
Yang Xuan gradually understood what was going on in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When Zhou Fengmiao found out about this, he would surely be furious, and these people wouldn't end up well.
Currently, Weiyuan Marquis and his son had sealed off the Lo Capital. The news would probably only spread to Profound Gate Pass seven or eight days later. At that time, there would be an army coming to suppress them.
However, this wasn't within Yang Xuan's consideration for the time being. The most important thing for him right now was to head to the Marquis Estate and find a way to undo the chains.
"Lieutenant Yang, I think you will be in grave danger when you go to the Marquis's manor. I happen to have a treasure here, so I will give it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a thin veil.
