153. Chapter 153 The Prisoner Rebelled



It was raining so hard, and there was a group of old, weak, women and children all along the uphill mountain road!

Zhou Fuan was filled with despair. Even if they walked until dark, they would not be able to walk 50 miles. Unless it was night, they would not rest and would continue to travel in the dark. If they walked until midnight, they would be able to walk almost 50 miles.

However, the road was slippery due to heavy rain, and walking on the mountain road in the dark would result in falling into the ravine, which would be a dead end.

What’s more, they are a group of elderly, weak, women and children.

"Pass on my order. Untie the ropes for all the women and children, and let them support each other as they walk forward. Go to the front and get the bamboo hats. Give each officer two."

Forget about the men, we can’t take off the shackles, but we can remove the ropes from the elderly, women and children, which will allow them to walk faster.

When the officers heard the order, they went to untie the ropes.

The prisoners whose ropes were untied also helped to untie the ropes of other prisoners. The ropes were quickly untied and the crying in the team became much less.

There was a sudden commotion at the back of the team.

Zhou Fuan was shocked. Could the thing he was most worried about be happening?

Two hundred prisoners in Zhaoyu, they were wearing heavy shackles, with heavy iron chains on their hands and feet. In addition, they were all wounded, and some were fed poison.

The rain was too heavy, and their hands were handcuffed, so they couldn't wipe the water off their faces. They could only walk while shaking the rain off their heads to barely see the road ahead. But they couldn't walk for long, after all, they were wearing heavy shackles. There was rain all in front of them, and they couldn't see anything.

With a thud, a prisoner fell down and bumped into the prisoner in front of him, so the prisoners fell all together. The road was too slippery and it was uphill, so the falling prisoners bumped into the prisoners behind them.

There was chaos for a moment.

"Death is death, early or late!"

One prisoner, who was obviously good at martial arts, exploded. With a bang, the shackles he was wearing broke apart, and his hands were free. He reached out to wipe the rain off his face, and then reached out to split the shackles of the prisoner in front of him. It was obvious that these prisoners were connected. When the Zhaowei officers reacted, five or six prisoners had already smashed the heavy shackles.

They dragged the shackles on their hands and feet and quickly rushed towards the group of exiles in front.

These criminals are obviously in the same group, and there is a leader who is quite smart. They must have discussed it beforehand.

They rushed towards the group of exiles, most of whom were old, weak, women and children, and walked slowly, and there was a donkey or horse cart in front from time to time. Further ahead was the extremely narrow road, the narrowest part of which could only accommodate one carriage.

These prisoners are obviously familiar with the terrain.

Moreover, they also calculated the intentions of Zhaowei and the commander of the imperial guards. Ji Tai wanted to make things difficult for the officials escorting the exiles and to increase the pressure.

He only put ten Zhaowei in the front, and Zhou Fuan was short of manpower because Chu Mingyang took away four officers. In addition, it was raining heavily and the road was slippery, so he sent twenty officers to lead the way with the male exiles. Because the road was narrow, the team of more than 300 people was very long. He was worried that something might go wrong, so he sent ten more officers along the way, and one officer was guarding the exiles every few miles.

In this way, he only left six officers at the back.

Zhou Fuan felt that it would be of no use no matter how many officials he left behind.

Because the skills and equipment of the Zhaowei and the Imperial Guards were much better than those of the escort officers. Even if he put more than 30 officers at the back, they would not be able to stop Ji Tai and Lu Zan if they wanted to do something. So he simply put only six officers at the back to make sure the exiles did not fall behind.

Bang! The six prisoners had already spotted the gap between the ten horseback guards and quickly slipped under the horses' legs, bumping into them at the same time. The horses howled loudly, but the road was slippery and they could not stand at all.

Zhao Wei was shocked and instinctively tried to control his horse. In just a moment, the six prisoners passed the ten Zhao Wei.

The six escorting officers were no match for these bloodthirsty prisoners in Zhaoyu Prison. Instead of trying to stop them, they subconsciously stepped aside.

The leading criminal reached out and grabbed two palace maids from the East Palace, and threw them backwards, smashing them towards Zhao Wei.

The remaining five prisoners followed suit and grabbed the eunuchs and palace maids around them. No matter who they were, they would throw them at the officers behind them.

In this way, the roadblocks ahead were cleared, allowing them to quickly pass through the East Palace team. Secondly, the way of the Zhaowei and the officials was blocked.

For a moment, the remnants of the Eastern Palace cried and screamed, staggering here and there. Some of them could not see the road clearly and slipped directly into the ravine nearby, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was simply impossible for the horse-riding Zhao Wei and the other officials to catch up and capture the six prisoners, because the road was too narrow and crowded with people, and they could not rush through.

Wherever the six prisoners passed, they would throw anyone who blocked their way into the ditch.

Later, the people in the exile group finally figured out what happened.

"The prisoner has escaped. The prisoner has killed someone. Everyone, get out of the way!"

Everybody was shouting, and when they saw the prisoners coming, they quickly moved aside, barely leaving a small path for them.

The prisoner rushed to the front of the Wang family's carriage, and in front of the Wang family's carriage was the Su family's donkey cart. The two carts were almost touching, blocking the prisoner's way.

[Ma Er, you are strong, you push the horse cart in front. Niu San, you push the donkey cart, push them both into the ditch.]

The Wang family and the Su family had already heard someone shouting that the prisoners had escaped. After all, they were closer to the prisoners behind them. It was raining all the time, and the road was very slippery. Su Mibao and Su Zhenbei had already begun to worry that something might happen to the prisoners behind them.

Suddenly, Su Mibao heard the voice of a strange man behind him. His heart skipped a beat.

[It's bad, big brother. The prisoners who escaped from behind are trying to push the Wang family's carriage and our donkey cart into the ditch.]

Su Zhenbei's heart sank. All the prisoners in Zhaoyu Prison were cruel and ruthless, treating human life as worthless.

It was raining heavily and the roads were slippery, so it was impossible for the police to arrive in time to provide rescue.

Su Zhenbei thought about it and decided to never mind. The capital would be in turmoil tonight anyway, and by then the people in the imperial city would be too busy taking care of themselves to have time to care about them.

"Don't be afraid, I'll come."

The six most deadly soul-suppressing nails on Su Zhenbei's body have been removed, and his strength has been restored. However, his tendons and bones have just been reconnected, so he cannot use weapons too much, but his lightness skills and internal strength can still be used.

[Brother, how about I go and send them away directly? ]

Su Mibao thought that since it was raining so hard, her real body would still have some time to recover. She could just go up on the roof of the car and shoot them with her hot weapon. It would be much easier. After all, no one would be able to find her. Because her original body did not exist in this world.

"No, I'll go first. My body will recover slowly, and sooner or later I'll have to let them know. You're different, you can't let anyone see."

Su Zhenbei was unwilling to let his younger sister take any risks.

Su Mibao's heart was filled with warmth. This was the feeling of being cared for by family.

Well, it’s nice to have a big brother.
