Chapter 60 A glimmer of hope

The three guards' eyes widened and they fell down without even a scream.

Xie Siheng stepped forward, pulled out the crossbow arrow, wiped it carelessly on the dead body, and then put it back.

The people in the cell looked at this scene with some horror.

There are dozens of cells of various sizes here.

Looking around, almost all the people there were young and strong men, with only a very small number of women and children.

Among them were refugees, civilians, and some people who had a strong aura of bandits and looked difficult to deal with.

Xie Siheng opened the cell doors one by one, his eyes sweeping over them: "If you want to escape, do it now."

After hearing his words, some people ran out without looking back, some people looked at him hesitantly, and some people were so scared that they would rather hide in jail than come out.

He ignored them all and walked out slowly.

Outside this place, the sounds of horses neighing and people shouting became more obvious. He guessed in his heart that it was Ji Changying who made the noise.

He put away the crossbow in his hand and prepared to rush to the gathering place. He didn't care about what happened to the people behind him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Everyone on alert!"

Seeing so many horses rushing out, the deputy general quickly realized that someone had sneaked in. He immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Jiang Yucheng's room and took people out to give orders.

Ji Changying had a smooth journey. When she was about to reach Xie Siheng, she saw several soldiers slashing at a woman holding a child with their swords.

Even when the knife was about to fall, she still tried to use her body to block the knife for the child in her arms.

This scene made her eyes fierce, and she made those people stab each other.

The woman was so frightened that she picked up her child and ran away.

Ji Changying looked at the high platform, where the deputy general was directing people to kill those who had escaped from the prison.

Anger rose in her.

OK!

It still doesn’t look messy enough!

She gave up paying attention to the woman and child over there, and directed all her mental energy towards the deputy general. She wanted him to die!

The deputy general was listening to his men reporting the news.

"General! Our...our armory is empty."

The person who came to report the news had his entire back soaked with cold sweat, and he lowered his head without even looking up.

The deputy general turned around and glared, "What did you say? Empty?!"

"Yes! The armory was robbed. All our weapons are gone."

"Report—"

"The herd is out of control. The two horses presented to the prince are gone!"

Later, Sima stood there wiping his sweat with his sleeves, looking scared.

Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at the deputy general's expression.

"You useless bastards! I'll chop you up!"

The two men were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "General, please spare my lives! General, please spare my lives!"

As soon as the deputy general raised his hand, he felt a tightness in his hand. The hand holding the knife was out of control and the tip of the knife was pointed at himself.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control himself and cut himself in the stomach with a fierce knife.

The subordinate lowered his head and only raised his head tremblingly when he felt the winding blood slowly flowing to his feet.

What you see is the deputy general holding a knife and cutting open his own stomach.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

Seeing this, the two men didn't dare to step forward, for fear that they would be charged with assassination.

He fell down from the platform, screaming at the top of his lungs: "The general committed suicide!!! Someone, come! The general committed suicide!!"

It’s even more chaotic here!

Ji Changying was very satisfied with the effect. There were horses here, and those private soldiers had no one to command them. Most of the weapons had also been collected by her. If this continued, the captured people would still not be able to escape.

I can only say it’s fate!

After all, without today, they would have died here sooner or later.

Now they have been given a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, a group of people with bad intentions were following behind Xie Siheng.

As soon as this group of people came out of the prison, they set their sights on the crossbow in Xie Siheng's hand.

If they hadn't been afraid of his ruthlessness in killing three guards at the beginning, they would have been unable to restrain themselves and taken action by now.

Xie Siheng was also aware of this. He took advantage of the opportunity to turn the corner, suddenly turned around and aimed behind him. After shooting and killing three people, he immediately threw the crossbow in his hand at the person who wanted to rush over.

"mine!"

“This is mine!”

When a group of people saw the crossbow arrow being thrown at them, they all reached out to grab it, and it was finally caught by a strong man.

When loading the arrows, they found that the crossbow was missing a key part and could not be strung at all!

"insidious!"

The man was so angry that he threw the crossbow arrow to the ground.

Just after finishing that side, the two met.

Xie Siheng felt relieved. "How are you? Did you find the money and food?"

"We found it, and we got what we wanted! A lot of people came out of nowhere outside, and martial law is in effect everywhere. Let's evacuate quickly!"

"Follow me, there's a shortcut."

When Xie Siheng heard that she had received it, he just thought that she had received the silver note and did not ask any further questions.

"Where's the shortcut? You seem to be quite familiar with it these days!"

Ji Changying couldn't help but look at Xie Siheng inquiringly.

He didn't answer, and took Ji Changying back to the place where the people were imprisoned, dodging all the way.

At this time, all the cells here were empty, and almost everyone had run out. Those who were afraid to move at first finally stepped out of here after seeing so many people leave.

Xie Siheng took her without looking away and walked to a secret and spacious cell in the deepest part.

An old man and a young boy were sitting on the ground inside, looking extremely calm.

Ji Changying pointed outside the door in surprise: "Everyone has run away, aren't you going to leave?"

"Run? A bunch of rabble! You can run away from this cell, but you can't run away from this mountain."

"The faster you run, the sooner you die."

The two looked at Xie Siheng with mockery on their faces: "You don't think you are saving them, do you?"

save?

Xie Siheng smiled in his heart.

He didn't care about the other party's sarcasm and walked in.

Seeing him come in, the two men couldn't help but tense up a little.

While Xie Siheng was looking around the cell, he said to Ji Changying in a gentle voice, "Miss Ji, where these two are sitting is the entrance we need to leave. Could you please put them aside?"

Ji Changying didn't expect that this cell actually had an entrance?

She hurried in, intending to reach out and carry the two of them aside.

"What on earth do you want to do? This is just an ordinary cell!"

The two men looked nervous and wary.

Ji Changying shook her head: "Can you two act? You're just short of having something written all over your face!"

She pushed them aside mercilessly and knocked on the ground with her hand: "Empty!"

The two men were nervous and were about to say something when they saw her punch down, and the ground was punched out like it was made of paper, with a hole in it.

Xie Siheng withdrew his hand that was about to press the switch and touched his nose: "Let's go!"

Ji Changying tore open the hole in the ground in a few moves.

The two men's faces turned pale, and they looked at them jumping down as if no one was around, their faces dimmed.

"I forgot to mention that You Tianming is lying on the wasteland near the circular exit. If you don't want to be discovered, you need to bring him back as soon as possible."

Before leaving, Xie Siheng took a deep look at the two people on the ground.

Completely ignoring the shock on their faces.

"H-He saw our mark?"

"Is this the point? How do they know Tianming?! Does he know something?"

The two of them were in a panic and immediately made up their minds.

No more waiting! Escape today!

"Do they know You Tianming?"

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be a family."

Ji Changying thought about the appearances of the three people and felt that they didn’t look very similar!

Less than a minute after coming down from the cell, they arrived at the place where they met You Tianming. Ji Changying gritted her teeth: "How dare you lie to us! You took us on a long journey!"
