Chapter 114 Izumo Tower
She had only seen Izumo Tower from afar before, and this was her first time getting close to it.
Izumo Tower is actually very suitable as a "hideout".
There are not many shops nearby and it is not well-known. The only small building called "Izumo Building" was built in recent years. In the past, it looked like just an ordinary house.
Today, Izumo Tower has a main gate and a wall, and there are people taking turns to guard it, like a legitimate private guard team.
Everyone in Chuyun Tower knows kung fu, so it is not easy for Su Yan to get in.
Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Su Yan was startled and took out her most handy scalpel. Before she could turn around and stab, she heard Zhao Qiujin laughing foolishly: "My practice was not in vain. You didn't notice me approaching you."
Su Yan: “…”
She turned around and stared at Zhao Qiujin's legs.
Zhao Qiujin jumped a few times on the spot, "I've been practicing for a long time, and I can walk without making any sound. Do you want to learn it?"
Su Yan: “…”
She seemed to be mocked.
Su Yan whispered, "Can you please stop making me laugh right now?"
Zhao Qiujin approached Su Yan and said with a smile, "Want to go in?"
Su Yan asked: "Do you have a solution?"
"My mother is the goddaughter of Manager Zhao. She is my ancestor. What can I do?"
Su Yan hesitated and said, "You...something happened to Zhao Zong, are you okay?"
Zhao Qiujin was stunned for a moment, then asked jokingly, "You care about me?"
Su Yan: “…”
Zhao Qiujin doesn't look serious, so it's hard for her to pretend to be so charming.
Zhao Qiujin pulled Su Yan up and said, "He's coming soon, get ready quickly."
Su Yan asked blankly: "Who will come? Liang Yi?"
Liang Yi should have been stopped by Feng Tu.
Zhao Qiujin looked at the slowly approaching carriage, "Him."
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Izumo Tower. Shi Er got off the carriage and the guards went forward to greet him.
Su Yan couldn't hear what they said, but two of them followed Shi Er into the yard.
Zhao Qiujin whispered, "He will bring in a few people from the outside, but he doesn't know what's going on inside. It depends on luck whether it's better to have more people inside or outside."
Su Yan was stunned, "Minister Shi knew I was coming?"
"You didn't know?" Zhao Qiujin said, "He woke me up and said you would come over, and I rushed to watch the fun."
Shi Er actually helped Su Yan.
Su Yan discovered that when she heard these words, she never even considered that this was a trap set by Shi Er and Zhao Qiujin.
Deep down, she believed in them.
Su Yan said: "Thank you, but you'd better not go in. I'm just going to take a look around and leave after I'm sure it's OK. If it's really what I think, what I'm going to do is something that Manager Zhao doesn't want to see."
Zhao Qiujin smiled and said, "It's OK as long as I want to watch it."
Su Yan was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Qiujin said: "My steps are lighter than yours, but I am more useful than you."
Su Yan: “…”
Zhao Mingde would not really kill Zhao Qiujin, so Su Yan reminded her, "If he really chops off your head, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Zhao Qiujin nodded repeatedly, "I'm not doing this for you. I went in because I wanted to do something. My father never allowed me to come here before."
Su Yan no longer objected.
Most of the guards withdrew, and Su Yan and Zhao Qiujin found the right time to climb over the wall.
The majority of the houses in the courtyard are private residences. They are treated well and each has a private room.
The two of them walked along the wall. When they passed a side room, Su Yan leaned over to take a look and saw someone resting on the bed.
Zhao Qiujin whispered, "Although I have never been here, I know a little about the situation inside. This is where they live and in recent years has also been their 'office'. There is a prison and an interrogation hall. If necessary, they will capture someone and torture him first, and then kill him after achieving their goal. Grandfather... is Zhao Mingde. He asked Shi Er to come here, apparently to watch over the prison."
＊
A basin of cold water was poured over me, and the chill penetrated into my body through the bones.
His bruised cheek pressed against the wet ground, and the stone slabs were icy cold.
His wrists were twisted into strange angles and his legs were tied up for so long that they were numb.
Yun Xing opened his eyes and saw his former "partner" in front of him.
Someone whispered, "Now that we're awake, what should we do?"
"Let's wait for the news from Manager Zhao."
"But the lieutenant has already..."
"Come and take a look. His injuries seem to be different."
No one paid any attention to the last person.
The strange posture was too uncomfortable, Yun Xing tried to move, but in the current situation, no matter what he did, he would not feel comfortable.
This seemed to be the feeling of being on the verge of death. He had experienced it several times, but never as clearly as now.
Yunxing began to think about some past events that had never been mentioned before.
But looking back, there were not many things in the past worth remembering. Before he went to Anping Town, his life was always uneventful.
Yun Xing thought of Su Yan.
According to the plan, he shouldn't have gone to see Su Yan, but he went anyway. This should be the first time he was "disobedient".
He said goodbye to Su Yan, and Su Yan reacted calmly and also said goodbye to him.
He once suspected that Su Yan might not care about his death or departure, but then he realized that from Su Yan's perspective, she wouldn't live long either.
At that moment Yun Xing felt a little regretful. He was not completely useless in the world. He might be able to help her achieve her goal.
The current choice should be able to help her.
Yun Xing heard someone shouting, "Minister Shi is here!"
Yun Xing only found out from their conversation that Shi Er was Zhao Zong's illegitimate son.
Zhao Mingde was furious, and that's how Zhao Zong lost his life.
For a time, the Izumo Tower was leaderless - although it was Zhao Mingde who built the Izumo Tower, the eunuchs rarely left the palace, and the people in the Izumo Tower had not even seen him a few times.
This is the same principle as leading troops to war. Compared to the emperor in the palace, the generals are often closer to the soldiers. Zhao Zong is such a general.
It is not surprising that Shi Er would come, as the soldiers also love their major general very much.
Whether it was Shi'erlai or Murlai, it made no difference to Yu Yunxing. They came with only one purpose - to make sure he was a dead body.
Yun Xing closed his eyes again, he felt a little tired.
"Why did you faint again? What a pity! Minister Shi is here. He may want to ask some questions. Bring me another bucket of water!"
Shi Er walked in with a dozen people.
The surroundings were finally quiet.
Shi Er raised his hand, and Yun Zhou stepped forward and bowed, "Minister Shi."
Shi Er asked: "Is it him?"
Yun Zhou said: "He is the only one in the prison at the moment."
Shi Er looked at Yun Xing.
Yun Zhou motioned for the two to lift up Yun Xing's face. Shi Er was horrified, "Why is it him?!"
Yun Zhou said, "What Chief Steward Zhao meant is that if they are no longer useful, they should be eliminated. You should see it with your own eyes."
"But..." Shi Er hesitated, "If the news gets out, there will be chaos."
Yun Zhou didn't know much about the twists and turns of the court, nor was he clear about the entire plan. Everyone present only played a supporting role, and the plan was always pushed forward by Yun Xing.
Yun Zhou said: "Manager Zhao has his own arrangements."
Shi Er stared at Yun Xing intently, his heart becoming increasingly confused.
Zhao Qiujin should have found Su Yan. They sneaked in, right?
Now that you've gotten in, find a way out quickly!
Shi Er originally wanted to help Su Yan because he saw that he cared about this person, but when he came over and saw who it was, he realized that this was a serious matter.
If he died, the political situation would change.
There was no movement outside.
Yun Zhou urged, "Minister Shi, it's time for you to give the order."
Shi Er was sweating profusely. He said with difficulty: "It would be best to deal with it quietly. Go find arsenic or poison..."
Yun Zhou said: "No need to trouble you, just give the order."
Shi Er was speechless.
He had no chance to delay.
At this time, there was finally movement from above the prison.
The two guarding the dungeon door came running over, "Minister Shi, there's a fire upstairs."
Shi Ersong said, "Okay!"
Can Su Yan come up with some new tricks? He is always in trouble wherever he goes.
But don’t say that, you have to start a fire before you can take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Yun Zhou and his companions looked at Shi Er strangely.
Shi Er: “…How bold!”
The man added, "There are many torches approaching Izumo Tower. I'm afraid someone got the news and is coming to rescue us."
Shi Er asked, "How many people?"
"I only saw torches, but I don't know the number of people."
As soon as he finished speaking, torches were thrown into the prison.
The prison was built underground, so it was convenient to throw things in. There were also some weeds in the prison, which would be terrible if they caught fire.
Shier seized the opportunity and moved towards the weeds.
He had to move carefully so as not to be discovered.
Yun Zhou and his companions began to panic. The torches were still being thrown down continuously. Some of them went up to fight, but when they came out of the dungeon, they could only see billowing smoke and could not even tell how many people were around them.
The smoke underground was getting thicker and thicker. Shi Er successfully moved to the torch, rubbed the corner of his clothes against the torch, and then shouted in horror: "It's burning! It's burning!"
Yun Zhou shouted, "Send the minister up first! You guys, catch the troublemaker!"
The dungeon was also in chaos.
Yunzhou turned around and grabbed the dying Yunxing. He had been tortured and his body was out of control.
Yun Zhou glanced at Yun Xing's wound, and suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned that the location of the wound seemed wrong. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a sharp fist split the smoke and attacked Yun Zhou.
He saw several figures running towards this side and knew who they were coming for.
Su Yan and others all wore masks to prevent themselves from inhaling too much smoke.
But it was just a wet handkerchief, and the situation was urgent, so they couldn't find a real mask.
We must fight quickly and decisively.
Su Yan crouched down and moved forward, and saw a figure behind Yun Zhou.
Feng Tu led Yun Zhou away, and Su Yan moved to the man's side.
Yun Xing forced himself to open his eyes and was stunned when he saw Su Yan.
Su Yanyi saw his face. This was the first time she saw his complete face, but she was not surprised. She just calmly checked Yun Xing's injuries and said, "It's just a flesh wound. Can you still stand up? Hang on."
Yun Xing was speechless. He tried to push Su Yan away and cover his face, but he couldn't even do these simple actions. He could only shake his head.
Su Yan gently wiped the blood off his face, showing rare gentleness.
But this gentleness would not last long. She threatened in a low voice, "We have come in, and the little prince is here too. We risked our lives to save you. If you want us to die with you, just try."
Yun Xing dropped his hands weakly, as if he would no longer resist.
Su Yan helped Yun Xing stand up, and while Feng Tu was entangled with Yun Zhou, he carried Yun Xing all the way up.
The people in Izumo Tower are all very skilled. To be honest, Su Yan's mediocre skills are really not good enough.
But now no one stopped them, mainly because Zhao Qiujin was in front, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, I am the daughter of Zhao Zong, and my mother is the daughter of your ancestor! If you are tired of living, come and chop me up, come on!"
The two men were really shocked by Zhao Qiujin. After all, not everyone is so arrogant and domineering.
Just then Liang Yi's guards arrived and the two of them were entangled. Zhao Qiujin helped Su Yan drag them out.
There was also chaos on the ground, with smoke and flames. The Izumo Tower was wrapped in smoke, as if it was really above the clouds.
Only a few of Liang Yi's guards came, and they were fighting desperately with the people from Chuyun Tower.
Su Yan avoided a few people and took Yun Xing to the back door, where there was a carriage.
Liang Yi was waiting at the back door to meet them.
Su Yan didn't want to implicate Liang Yi, but he caught up with him in the end. I don't know how he convinced Feng Tu.
Liang Yi looked at Yun Xing, who was covered in wounds, and said anxiously, "These people are too cruel. They even want to attack their own people?"
Just as he was about to pick it up, Yun Zhou chased after Su Yan, followed closely by Feng Tu.
Yun Zhou was holding a short knife, and was slightly shocked when he saw Liang Yi. "It's you, how did you know he was in Chuyun Tower?"
Su Yan recognized Yun Zhou, and she frowned and said, "Please forgive me once. I can see that you are not working for Chuyun Tower sincerely. Why don't you let us go today and leave with us."
"It's easy to say," Yun Zhou walked towards Su Yan, "This is the top priority. If this fails, they will tear me into pieces even if I flee to the ends of the earth."
Liang Yi was speechless, "Killing one of our own people, what's the big deal?"
Yun Zhou looked at him strangely.
Liang Yi said: "You have worked together for many years. People will develop feelings for each other after being together for a long time. Do you really have the heart to kill him?"
Yun Zhou scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone says that the young prince is a fool, and you really are!"
Liang Yi, who was scolded for no reason: "..."
"Hey, you! What I said is wrong! How many years have you known Yunxing? You actually want to kill him with your own hands? Forget it, Fengtu, just get rid of him quickly. Anyway, he is the only one here now."
Just as Feng Tu was about to step forward, Yun Zhou cursed him again: "You idiot, open your eyes and see who he is! I am not a good person, but I will not kill my companions!"
Feng Tu looked at Liang Yi in confusion.
These two people were cursing each other sincerely.
Liang Yi drove Zhao Qiujin away and helped Su Yan hold Yun Xing, "Isn't this Yun Xing!"
Liang Yi straightened Yun Xing's face.
Yun Zhou actually took a serious look at it, then looked at Liang Yi with a half-smile, "Idiot."
"you!"
Liang Yi looked at Yun Xing angrily, then let go of Yun Xing and stepped back in fear.
Yun Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is the straw bag?"
The thick smoke had not yet spread to the back door. Although the crescent moon was not bright enough, Liang Yi could see it clearly. That face was clearly... Shi Yangui's face.
Yun Xing looked at Liang Yi.
"Why, you are not in the mansion..."
Su Yan remained silent.
The fire was spreading, and the guards and the people from Izumo Tower were still fighting. The best way at the moment was to take Yunxing away as soon as possible, and then withdraw the guards to prevent them from getting more injured.
Su Yan said to Yun Zhou: "He is indeed Yun Xing, not Shi Yan Gui."
Yun Zhou frowned, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Maybe you all think he is Shi Yan Gui, but Shi Yan Gui is in the mansion. We just met him. The one who stayed here is Yun Xing."
Yun Zhou looked at Yun Xing's face in astonishment.
He wouldn't make a mistake, this was Shi Yangui, but... he really didn't seem to know what Yun Xing looked like.
Su Yan pinched Yun Xing and said, "Speak."
Yun Xing: “…”
Su Yan said: "Don't tell me about your plans. Your plans have never included me, and my plans will not include you."
Yun Xing: “…”
He looked at Yun Zhou, "What she said is true."
This voice is indeed Yun Xing’s voice.
Yun Zhou slowly put down the dagger, "But the voice you spoke just now was clearly not this..."
Su Yan said: "If it was Shi Yan Gui in Chuyun Tower, I would save him, but I would never rush in to save him stupidly."
Liang Yi: “…”
I feel sad for Shi Yan's return.
Zhao Qiujin watched the show with great interest.
Yunzhou walked towards Yunxing in a daze.
Feng Tu tried to stop him, but Su Yan shook her head slightly. She could see that Feng Tu was no match for Yun Zhou.
Yun Zhou covered the upper half of Yun Xing's face with his hands, and suddenly felt extremely familiar, "You..."
The guards had retreated towards the back door and were beaten back.
Yun Zhou glanced behind him and grabbed Yun Xing's arm, "Hurry up and go!"
