Chapter 201 "Prison Break"

After leaving the morgue, Qiu Jing felt very anxious and worried.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his excitement and walked quickly towards his room.

As I walked into the room, as expected, Shadow was waiting quietly in the shadows.

"How is it? How's the situation?" Shadow asked casually.

Qiu Jing's tone was somewhat defensive: "After something like this happened, Di Renjie and Zhao Ji were extremely vigilant. For safety reasons, I made an excuse to leave and did not seek any information."

Upon hearing this, Shadow sneered, his eyes full of disdain and blame, as if he was dissatisfied.

Seeing the other party's behavior, Qiu Jing couldn't help but question: "Didn't you say you would personally take action against Zong Huaichang? Why did you change your mind? The key is that the man failed!"

Shadow sneered with a barely perceptible smile, and said sarcastically, "I am also considering safety. Besides, hasn't Zong Huaichang spoken yet? We still have a chance."

Qiu Jing had a sad face, and her words were full of worry: "Di Renjie and Zhao Ji are so powerful, no matter who takes action next time, there will be a risk of being exposed!"

Shadow took a deep breath and said, "Let's put it aside for now and get rid of Su Honghui first. Zong Huaichang doesn't know what you've done, right? Once Su Honghui is dead, you'll be safe."

Qiu Jing reminded him, "If you kill Su Honghui, you will be confessing your crime. Di Renjie will definitely suspect Wang Xiaojie again. Besides, Zhao Ji not only sent someone to guard Su Honghui's cell, but the prison is also heavily guarded. If you kill him, you will have a hard time getting away!"

Shadow smiled when he heard this: "Assassinating Zong Huaichang is already a confession. Besides, who said they wanted to assassinate Su Honghui?"

"What do you mean?" Qiu Jing asked somewhat puzzled.

Shadow said coldly: "Su Honghui's cell is guarded by someone, but the officers who were arrested with Su Honghui are not. They are dissatisfied with Di Renjie and Zhao Ji's unfair treatment and think that the two are seeking revenge for personal gain."

"So the generals killed the jailer, rescued Su Honghui and escaped from prison together, trying to mutiny again to survive. After receiving the news, Deputy General Sha quickly led his troops to suppress the mutiny. In the end, Su Honghui and others refused to surrender, so Deputy General Sha had no choice but to kill them. How about this story?"

Qiu Jing was shocked when he heard this. He secretly sighed at Shadow's viciousness, but asked calmly, "What do you want me to do?"

Shadow said: "There must be one of your people in the prison. Order him to pass the message to Song Wuji, Zhu Feng and others, guide them to escape from prison, and provide convenience for them."

Qiu Jing did not agree immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If we do this, Deputy General Sha and the others will also be implicated. If something goes wrong, it will be the end."

Shadow's eyes flashed with sternness: "Su Honghui knows too many of our secrets, and he also has a list of traitors in the army. Once he opens his mouth, those people will be involved. Instead of doing that, why not let them play a role?"

Qiu Jing finally nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

The night was as dark as ink, and the prison in Pingzhou was filled with chill and deathly silence.

The outer part of the prison was shrouded in thick darkness, with only the jailer's room lit by a tiny lamp, emitting a faint light.

Deep in the cell, there was a brazier burning, making it as bright as day. There were several special cells where a group of officers who participated in the mutiny were imprisoned.

Su Honghui's cell was further inside, some distance away from the officers.

Several strong and capable soldiers stood in front of his cell. They were ordered to guard Su Honghui, watching his every move and not allowing anyone to approach.

Su Honghui himself was wearing heavy shackles, curled up in a corner of the cell, his eyes closed, motionless. If it weren't for the occasional faint groans, one would almost think he was dead.

It was just that the guards were a little lazy due to the long period of boredom. They were too bored to raise their spirits. On the other side, a young jailer was patrolling the cell with a knife on his waist and a lantern in one hand. Everything was normal.

He continued walking forward, heading towards the cell where Song Wuji was imprisoned.

After looking around and making sure no one was paying attention, he quietly opened Song Wuji's cell door and whispered, "General Song, I have been ordered to rescue you. Please follow me and leave."

Song Wuji had received the news a long time ago and said anxiously, "Quick, release our other brothers as well."

The jailer immediately moved to the next cell and released all the officers one by one.

"General Song, everything in the prison has been arranged. I will set a fire in the prison later. Then you can change into the jailer's clothes and escape in the chaos." The jailer had unknowingly arrived at the last cell and spoke as he walked.

At this moment, Song Wuji attacked from behind, knocked the jailer unconscious, and then drew his sword and killed him.

This scene shocked Zhu Feng, who was imprisoned in the last cell. He asked in a lost voice: "Brother, why is this happening? Why do you want to kill him?"

Song Wuji replied with a fierce look in his eyes: "This is also part of the plan. Let's go and rescue General Su!"
-
Song Wuji and others who escaped from prison ran all the way to the cell where Su Honghui was imprisoned.

The soldiers guarding Su Honghui reacted and rushed forward to stop Song Wuji and others.

Most of Song Wuji's generals were born as Snake Spirit Killers and had been on the battlefield for a long time. With a large number of people against a small number of enemies, they quickly eliminated the four guards.

Song Wuji quickly stepped forward, opened Su Honghui's cell door with the key, and uncuffed him.

Su Honghui looked confused and asked, "What happened? How did you escape?"

Song Wuji replied: "It was arranged by Dong Ling. We can't delay now. Let's explain it while we are walking on the road."

As they spoke, Song Wuji and Zhu Feng lifted Su Honghui up.

Although Su Honghui was full of doubts, seeing the serious expressions on Song Wuji and Zhu Feng's faces, he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he stopped asking questions and let the two of them support him as they walked out.

The group rushed all the way to the outside of the prison, and did not encounter any obstacles on the way.

However, just as everyone walked out of the prison, rows of torches were lit outside the door, and a large group of troops and rows of archers were waiting for them.

Su Honghui was dumbfounded when he saw this. He turned to look at Song Wuji and asked, "Wuji, what...what's going on?"

Song Wuji himself was stunned by the scene before him and didn't know what to do.

Deputy General Sha rode on a tall horse and showed off his might to Su Honghui: "Su Honghui, you killed the jailer and fled for fear of punishment. Today is the day you die!"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away, as if someone else was leading troops to arrive.

Deputy General Sha's face immediately changed, and he said urgently: "Shoot! Shoot! Quick, shoot them to death!"

"Stop!" With a loud shout, a team of puma came rushing over, led by Zhao Ji.
