Chapter 680 "Prison Break"
At night, Liangzhou Prison.
A row of torches were inserted in the dark and narrow corridor. The swaying flames greedily consumed the already thin oxygen, making everything here seem particularly suffocating.
In the cell at the end of the corridor, Yan Huanwen, who had been imprisoned here for nearly a month, had a dull look in his eyes and sunken cheeks, looking like a walking corpse.
Although he did not suffer any abuse during this period, his daily food was much better than that of other prisoners.
However, the sudden change of identity from a king to a prisoner still made it difficult for Yan Huanwen to accept it for a while.
What made him even more uncomfortable was the feeling of loss after losing all information from the outside world.
He didn't know how serious the war outside was.
He didn't know what the current situation was in Dajue.
He didn't know whether Yan Huaiqing would save him.
He didn't know what Su Xiu and the Seventh Demon Land had become now.
Yan Huanwen now seems to have lost all his senses and is unaware of anything happening in the outside world.
What also disappeared was his judgment of the situation.
Or in other words, Yan Huanwen no longer has the most basic conditions to judge the current situation.
Since Wei Zhaohai left Liangzhou half a month ago, he has not been interrogated again.
Therefore, in the past half month, he did not even have the chance to speak a word to anyone, let alone find out the situation outside.
In this case, all Yan Huanwen could do was wait.
He didn't dare to take the initiative to ask to talk to Wei Zhaohai or Wei Changtian.
Because he knows that in the face of the huge information gap, he will not have any say and will only be led around by the nose.
He will only have a chance to "escape" when the situation outside stabilizes or becomes more intense, and when Wei Changtian needs him.
Yan Huanwen has been waiting for half a month for this.
But unfortunately, until today, he has waited for nothing.
Apart from the expressionless jailer who brought him meals twice a day, he never saw anyone else.
It's like being completely forgotten. "."
He stretched out his withered palm, picked up a few grains of white rice at the bottom of the bowl and put them into his mouth.
Yan Huanwen closed his eyes and chewed the rice slowly. He had guessed the situation outside for the umpteenth time in his mind.
Judging from the time, by now Jueji's army should have crossed the Tianshan Mountains and arrived at Liangzhou City.
So it is highly likely that the two sides have already started fighting.
But that’s not necessarily the case.
After all, he is now in Wei Changtian's hands, and the latter has not killed him, so he must want to use this opportunity to put forward some conditions to Dajue.
It should be Qing'er who is in charge of the situation now.
Qing'er is smart and capable, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to stabilize the political situation.
But Qing'er is also very ambitious.
So, he wouldn't do that. He definitely wouldn't do that.
He is Qing'er's father, his biological father.
Qing'er won't ignore herself.
Perhaps the price offered by Wei Changtian was too high, so he was still hesitating.
If this is true, then I will die, and there is no regret in that.
I just hope Qing'er can avenge me one day. When the rice in his mouth was swallowed into his stomach, Yan Huanwen opened his eyes again, his eyes full of bitterness.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to pinch a few more grains of rice and swallow them slowly.
However, the next moment, the dirty palm suddenly stopped in mid-air.
His cloudy eyes suddenly widened, and there seemed to be some clarity in them.
Yan Huanwen opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the prison door that was slowly opening. He watched as several masked men in black entered the cell, then quickly came to him and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty!"
"Your subordinate is late! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
“.”
Black clothes, black boots, black knife.
There is a coiled snake carved on the handle.
Yan Huanwen was very familiar with this outfit, so he couldn't help but be stunned at the moment.
However, jailbreaks require a quick decision, so the men in black on the other side didn't have time to wait for him to ask questions. Someone immediately started to explain:
"Your Majesty, when the news of your kidnapping spread, the government and the country immediately fell into chaos."
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince quickly came out to stabilize the government, and immediately sent an envoy to negotiate with Wei Changtian."
"However, Wei Changtian took advantage of this opportunity to ask for too much. Your Highness had no choice but to delay while asking us to try to break into the prison."
"After several plans, we finally managed to sneak in today when the prison's defenses were lax."
"Your Majesty, the enemy hasn't noticed yet, but they may find out something is wrong at any time."
"We have already arranged a retreat outside the prison, and we will escort you out!"
“.”
After explaining the whole story in a few words, a man in black immediately stepped forward to help Yan Huanwen up and walked out of the cell without saying anything.
Yan Huanwen was the king of a country after all, so after a brief moment of confusion, he had recovered from his shock.
Glancing at the several jailers who had fainted in the corridor, he walked quickly and asked hastily, "What is the current situation of the battle outside?"
"Your Majesty, our army has reached the city of Liangzhou, and the two sides have been fighting for several days."
The leading man in black quickly replied: "Although the city has not been breached, the enemy is clearly at a disadvantage and will not be able to hold out for long."
"That's why we are afraid that Wei Changtian will be angry and do harm to you once the city is breached, so we took the risk and took action today."
"Your Majesty, watch your step."
The man in black kicked the torch that fell to the ground and stopped talking. He just observed the situation around him vigilantly.
When Yan Huanwen heard that his side had the upper hand in the battle, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good"
"Qing'er did a good job. She didn't disregard the overall situation in order to save me."
"OK."
“.”
Relieved murmurs echoed in the narrow corridor, and people in the cells on both sides kept standing up and staring at them with wide eyes.
Some prisoners had already figured out something and were now leaning against the cell door, shouting, "Good man! Please save me as well!"
"Help me, man!!"
"I was wrongly accused! Really!!"
"Damn it! If you don't save me, I'll scream! You won't be able to escape!"
Various shouts, either begging or threatening, suddenly rang out.
If they keep shouting like this, it will be hard for people outside to not notice something unusual inside.
However, these men in black were decisive enough. After looking at each other, they drew their swords and slashed at the prison doors without saying a word.
“Swish!”
The knife flashed, and under the excited gaze of several prisoners, it passed through the gaps in the iron bars and flashed across their necks.
“Plop!”
The next second, several heads fell to the ground, and all the shouting stopped instantly.
“.”
These prisoners are not all on death row. Although being locked up in prison is very painful, they will be able to get out sooner or later, so naturally they dare not shout now.
The prison suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the sound of a few people's footsteps echoing.
They were only a few dozen feet away from the end of the corridor. If they walked out of the corridor, turned a few corners, and passed through the backyard of the prison, they would be able to escape from the prison and enter Liangzhou City.
And until now, people outside seem to be unaware of this.
It seems that the entire "prison break" has been going very smoothly so far.
However, when Yan Huanwen saw the prisoners in the cells next to him, someone suddenly came to his mind.
"Xiu'er!"
"And the sleeves!"
"Quick! Go and rescue her too!"
