Chapter 682: You can always find a pretext to accuse someone of something
When the sound of gongs and shouts outside the prison reached everyone's ears, everyone showed the appropriate reaction.
Yan Huanwen's eyes froze, and his expression inevitably became more nervous.
Several men in black also stopped immediately, looking embarrassed.
After a moment, the leading black-clad man said to Yan Huanwen in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty! The people outside the prison have already noticed something is wrong. We are outnumbered and if we are trapped here, we will only die!"
"In my opinion, the only way for us to survive is to release all the prisoners in the prison and fight our way out during the chaos!"
"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"
“.”
He released the prisoners in the jail, and took advantage of the chaos before too many jailers gathered outside the prison to break out.
"good!"
After hearing the words of the man in black, Yan Huanwen didn't think too much and quickly gritted his teeth and nodded.
The former was right. If he was trapped in prison, there was only one way out, which was death. Therefore, he had no other choice.
"clang!"
“Ding ding ding!!”
In an instant, the piercing sounds of golden swords rang out one after another.
Several people ran quickly towards the prison door and cut off the iron locks on both sides of the prison door along the way.
Although some of the prisoners did not move, most of them rushed out of the cells immediately and ran towards the prison gate behind a few people.
"Hahaha! I'm finally out!"
"You guys are so loyal! I'll treat you to a drink when we get out!"
"This is not a fucking place for people to stay!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
“.”
For a moment, all kinds of laughter and curses resounded throughout the prison, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
After suffering so much in prison, he finally has the chance to see the light of day again.
Although these prisoners looked almost crazy, they were actually very smart. They always followed Yan Huanwen and others, and none of them wanted to be the first to go out and die.
But how could these men in black make them happy?
"Bang!"
“Crack!”
He stopped in front of the huge iron gate and cut off the three horizontal locks on the door with one knife.
The leading man in black pointed his knife backwards and sneered sinisterly: "You! Come over here and push the door!"
“.”
At this time, there were about a hundred prisoners gathered inside the gate. They all stood still after hearing what was said, and it was obvious that none of them wanted to be the first to stand out.
Several men in black didn't waste any time. They swung their swords and slashed a few times. The sword light instantly took away several heads.
“Puff!”
Blood spurted into the air, and several headless corpses slowly fell to the ground amid the screams of the crowd.
"Humph! If you all rush out now, there might be a chance of survival!"
Pointing the tip of the knife forward, a man in black said coldly: "But if you don't dare, I will kill you now!"
"I'll say it one last time!"
"Someone push the door!"
“.”
"Fuck! You can't live, you can't die! I'm doing it!"
"Go ahead! It's better to die outside than here!"
"Fuck it."
No matter how angry they were, these prisoners knew that the men in black opposite them didn't care about their lives at all.
Rather than hesitating and being killed here, it is better to risk your life and maybe you can escape.
Just like that, under the threat of death, more than a hundred prisoners, whether they wanted to or not, had no choice but to rush forward to push open the prison door and then crowded out.
Then "Hmm?"
The expected scene of blazing torches and flashing swords did not appear.
Under the pale moonlight, the huge backyard of the prison was empty, with not a single person in sight.
"What's going on?"
"Hahahaha! Those officers must be scared!"
"Brothers! Great opportunity! Run!"
“.”
After a brief moment of daze, more than a hundred prisoners ran away in ecstasy, running towards the courtyard wall dozens of feet away without hesitation.
Outside the wall is Liangzhou City. Once inside the city, it would be very difficult for the officials to find them.
"Freedom" was right before their eyes. How could these prisoners not be excited? In just a few breaths, the first few had already run several feet away.
At this time, the man in black who was still inside the prison gate also hurriedly urged Yan Huanwen:
"Your Majesty! It seems that the enemy has not yet gathered!"
"Let's go too!"
“.”
Without answering immediately, Yan Huanwen frowned as he looked at the prisoners running wildly in front of him, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong.
After all, even if the jailer guarding the prison was timid and dared not to stop it, there should not be no one in the yard at this moment.
What's more, someone was clearly beating a gong and shouting just now.
Why are even these people gone now?
It was obvious that Yan Huanwen was not one of those prisoners who was only concerned with escaping, and he had already vaguely realized something at this moment.
It was a pity that he realized it too late. "Your Majesty! Do not hesitate!"
"Your subordinates will help you escape right away!"
After looking at each other, the two men in black immediately came to Yan Huanwen, lifted him up without saying a word, and rushed out of the prison gate.
“You, you guys!”
Yan Huanwen's eyes suddenly widened, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
The strong wind whistled past his ears, and he looked at the men in black around him in horror, and kept telling himself in his heart that all this was just his suspicion.
After all, no matter what, they have already run to the center of the yard. It will take them at most ten breaths to climb over the wall and then... "Huh!!"
Suddenly, all thoughts came to a halt and Yan Huanwen was stunned.
Including the hundreds of prisoners in front of them, they all stopped suddenly, their expressions becoming extremely terrified.
Because just now, a large number of torches suddenly lit up on the courtyard wall right in front of them, illuminating the densely packed arrows that were flashing with cold light.
"Shit! There's an ambush!"
"Damn it! I fell into a trap!"
Seeing the Blue Armored Army pouring in from the gate, the prisoners panicked and almost subconsciously turned around, trying to escape from the other side.
However, before they could take two steps, they saw torches lit up on the walls on both sides of the yard, and rows of short bows were set up.
The continuous torches lit up the entire yard like day. Hundreds of Shu soldiers in armor had surrounded the place like gods descended from the sky.
It was obvious as day, this was all a trap.
“Go back quickly!”
"They just want to kill us for escaping prison!!"
"Run back quickly!!"
At this moment, someone finally figured out the purpose of the person who planned what happened tonight.
They yelled and screamed like crazy and turned around to escape back to prison.
But at this moment, a man in black who had been staying behind suddenly flashed to the prison door, picked up an iron lock that had fallen to the ground, and then, in full view of everyone, he exerted force with both hands and "clicked!"
The crisp sound was not loud, but it cut off the last hope of life for the hundreds of prisoners.
There may be some cultivators among them, but since they have all been thrown into prison, their meridians will definitely be blocked.
So now they are just like ordinary people. Not only are they powerless to fight back against the hundreds of Shu soldiers around them, they are also unable to do anything about this mere iron chain.
The same goes for Yan Huanwen, who is already a third-rank official.
He was in the midst of the panicked crowd, looking like an idiot, just standing there with his mouth wide open.
He just watched the men in black flash away from him and disappear into the Shu army formation.
He just watched Su Xiu being thrown to the ground, unable to move, her body covered in mud.
He watched all this with his own eyes, unable to utter a word.
He didn't even know why this was happening. The blazing torches, the countless arrows ready to be fired, the expressionless Shu army, and the pale crescent moon overhead.
The wailing, cursing, and pleas for mercy gradually died down after more than a dozen breaths. The more than a hundred prisoners trapped in the center of the yard finally stopped shouting, but gathered together, trembling as they looked at the densely packed soldiers around them and the cold weapons in their hands.
Until a figure flashed, and a passage suddenly opened up in the army formation . For a moment, all eyes were focused on the man who walked out of the army formation.
The latter just glanced at Yan Huanwen from a distance, and then calmly uttered two words.
"Release the arrow."
