"Sir, what's the good news?"
Qu Yutang lay on the edge of the cell and asked with a smile, "Is it the prince's wedding?"
"Oh!" The jailer curled his lips and smiled, "What are you thinking about?"
"How can there be a grand wedding when the prince's great cause is not yet accomplished?"
The prince wants to unify the world, so it won’t be too late to marry a wife then.
Anyway, he had never heard that the prince had any thoughts about women.
He spends every day at the training ground, supervising the workers making training equipment.
Since the training ground was built, soldiers have begun to strengthen their training there.
Three hundred thousand soldiers took turns building houses and roads for training, with each cycle lasting seven days.
Those soldiers who had trained in the training ground were obviously much more agile than before.
These old men and prison guards also have to go to the training ground in batches for training.
It was his turn on the 10th, and to be honest, he was quite looking forward to it.
"So...what's the good news?" Qu Yutang asked cautiously.
The jailer was slightly stunned, and squinted his eyes at Qu Yutang, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Can't you stop talking even if you eat?"
These people are all lackeys sent by the imperial court, and nothing about Qianhuang City can be told to them.
It's already quite nice of me to keep them for free.
The corners of Qu Yutang's mouth twitched, and he awkwardly took the two hot meat buns stuffed into his hand by the jailer.
Looking down at the white meat bun in his hand, he couldn't help swallowing twice.
At this time, the officials who had received the meat buns had quickly finished one, and then squatted on the ground, holding a bowl of hot rice porridge and drinking it in small sips.
After delivering the food, the jailer was thinking of robbing money at the gate of the palace, so he hurriedly left the cell with the jailer.
"Crash~" When the personal guard stood up with the help of the cell door, the cell door was pushed open with a loud sound.
Everyone who was eating widened their eyes and looked at the open cell door in shock.
Qu Yutang hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, and his breathing became more rapid.
"Quick, go check if the door is closed."
"No, no, no..." Qu Yutang took a deep breath and quickly called his personal guard.
"Go later, those people may not have left yet."
The officers who were locked in a cell with the personal guards were stunned when they wanted to rush out. After hesitating for a moment, they retreated one after another.
This...what if the prison boss is deliberately testing them, then they will be finished once they get out.
Qu Yutang frowned and looked at everyone.
"If you want to get out alive, you have to listen to me."
"Let him go out alone." Qu Yutang pointed to the personal guard.
"He would be less conspicuous if he went out alone, and it would be easier for him to change into the prison guard's clothes."
"If you all follow him out, you'll be caught before you even reach the city gate."
"His martial arts skills are the best among us. If he can't escape, it will be useless for you to escape."
"Since there's a big happy event happening in Qianhuang City today, it would be easiest for him to escape alone. He won't be discovered for a while."
Qu Yutang swallowed and continued,
"Even if the prison boss came to deliver food to the cell, he wouldn't necessarily notice if only one person was missing."
"If everyone cooperates, the jail boss will find out later."
"Once Guard Li goes to the capital to report this, the Emperor will surely send a large army to rescue us."
"Think about your family in the capital and don't act impulsively."
After Qu Yutang finished speaking, his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one.
Seeing the officers thinking, he looked at his personal guard.
"This meat bun is for you to eat on the way. Finish your rice porridge and get out now."
Qu Yutang handed the remaining meat bun in his hand to his personal guard with a painful feeling.
There was no other dry food prepared for the personal guards, so he had to take the lead and give a meat bun to Guard Li.
"...Yes, I will definitely rush to the capital as soon as possible."
The personal bodyguard took the meat bun with tears in his eyes and stuffed it into his arms, then tilted his head back and drank the rice porridge in the bowl.
After eating two meat buns and drinking a bowl of rice porridge, he regained a lot of strength.
The officers looked at each other and looked reluctantly at the meat buns that they had not eaten for more than half a month.
After hesitating for a while, the chief officer suggested that everyone pool together ten meat buns as dry food for the personal guards.
Two hundred officials could make ten meat buns, which meant each person could save a meat bun, which was still acceptable.
The personal guard's mouth twitched twice, and he took the ten black meat buns that the chief officer handed over to him.
He didn't mind it. Everyone was dirty, so what was there to be disgusted about?
It’s good to have something to eat.
Guard Li took out the bag that was already extremely dirty, stuffed all the meat buns into it, and put it on his back.
They also brought their luggage with them from the post station. When those people arrested the official and put him in the cell, they only took away the silver, but left the bag and the clothes inside with them.
Qu Yutang sighed heavily and waved to his personal guards.
"Go quickly, and be careful. People from Bailong City cannot be trusted. Remember to conceal your identity."
"When you get out, find some civilian clothes to change into."
"I know." Guard Li nodded and walked out of the cell.
He walked cautiously to the prison gate and pushed it tentatively.
The door slowly opened, and everyone in the cell, who were nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at the door and it seemed like the old man never locked it. He always left it closed.
Fortunately, it was not locked this time.
Guard Li raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked to the cell door, and there was a "click".
He locked the cell door directly and said, "Wait for me."
The cell door is not locked. If the warden comes back and sees it, he will definitely check the number of people inside.
Everyone was stunned and instantly understood what the personal guard meant.
Qu Yutang nodded expectantly, "Let's go!"
After watching Guard Li leave, the officials were still nervous.
It was not until the evening that Guard Li was captured, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Guard Li left the prison, he immediately went to a nearby citizen's house and stole a piece of clothing to change into.
Then he found a ditch to wash up briefly to get rid of the smell on his body, and headed straight for the city gate.
On this day, people were coming and going at the gate of Qianhuang City. Guard Li followed a convoy from a prominent family and got out very easily.
Following behind these people, he knew from listening to the servants' excited discussion.
Today is the day when King Qianhuang moves to a new house, and everyone in Bailong City has come to celebrate, so there are so many people coming in and out of the city gate.
He was lucky. He spent a while washing up by the ditch and just happened to catch up with the people from Bailong City who came to celebrate and were about to go back.
This gave him the opportunity to get out with them.
