Chapter 158: Following the Map and Falling into a Trap
"Give me that, please?"
The haggard girl stretched out her thin fingers and pointed at Gu Feixue's bun.
Gu Feixue took off her hair bun without hesitation and threw it in carefully without making any unusual noise.
"I'm sending this to you, stop yelling."
The prisoners in the cell next door seemed to notice it, but they were too lazy to even raise their heads. The people imprisoned in this cell had long been disheartened. They were used to seeing some strange things and had become indifferent to everything.
The girl smiled, but her smile was tinged with tears. "I haven't seen such a well-made hairpin in years. Thank you."
The jailer in front suddenly turned around. Gu Feixue took advantage of this opportunity to leave immediately, but found that the hem of her clothes had been grabbed by someone in the prison.
"Would you mind talking to me?"
In this short delay, the jailer had already resumed his position and the opportunity was fleeting.
"I'm a kabuki. I don't even know what crime I've committed. How could someone of my status possibly have met someone powerful and influential, and how could I possibly have colluded with the enemy? I guess they were attracted to me, but how come those sisters who are much prettier than me are fine? Maybe they were implicated by a customer..."
The girl was still talking in a low voice, as if she had found someone to talk to because it was a rare opportunity. She did not stand out amid the cursing of so many prisoners, so Gu Feixue just let her go.
Gu Feixue's thoughts had drifted to her brother. He was also implicated by the surname Gu. This time it was a sudden disaster that was beyond everyone's expectations.
Suddenly, Gu Feixue thought of something, "Excuse me, are there any new young men detained here in the past few days?"
"Gu Tingchuan, he's not here!" The girl played with the golden hairpin.
It was dark here, a visual blind spot, and the girl's voice was very low, like a mosquito, but Gu Feixue felt it was like thunder.
Gu Feixue was slightly surprised and began to question, "How do you know who I'm talking about? Is he really not here? Someone told me that Gu Tingchuan is in there."
The girl stared at Gu Feixue, her thoughts seemed a little dull: "Who are you to Gu Tingchuan?"
Gu Feixue did not answer.
The girl reached out and pressed the golden hairpin. "Forget it, I won't ask you. You gave me this gift, thank you. I heard it from those evil people."
Gu Feixue's heart skipped a beat. A trap?
Gu Feixue took out the small bronze mirror she carried with her.
"This is for you too. What else have you heard?"
She grabbed the bronze mirror and straightened herself.
"What the hell! It's you."
A jailer noticed the commotion, snatched the thing from her hand, and looked her up and down.
"What's this?"
"This is...I...my mother left it to me. Give it back to me!"
She used her hands and feet to snatch the bronze mirror back and put it in her arms, as if it were a treasure.
The jailer didn't take it seriously. He just scolded him and left.
Gu Feixue, who was in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her grip on the dagger.
"Thank you for sending me the food. I also heard that the two people who delivered the food were assassins they arranged. They were waiting for the person who could save them to come to them."
Gu Feixue's heart beat faster and her fear grew.
The girl smiled foolishly, "I have to tell you, so that they can't wait for anyone."
Gu Feixue immediately left the girl behind and ran away.
On the other side, Rong Qi followed the two men to the end of the prison.
There is only one prisoner here.
Inside was a man curled up on the ground, covered in blood and bruises.
One of the two men opened the prison door, and the other had already gone in to get food.
The man curled up on the ground was dying and motionless.
At this moment, Rong Qi has arrived and is observing secretly.
The leading man sighed, "Gu Tingchuan, Gu Tingchuan, you can get away with it by changing your name and surname, but the imperial court is watching closely, waiting for you to fall into their trap."
As the man spoke, he half-knelt in front of the prisoner, who looked like a corpse, and tested his breath. Perhaps after detecting breathing, he stepped back. "Eat! You've worked hard to bring you food every day. We don't know when you'll be guillotined."
At this moment, the man at the door said, "Brother Zhou, why are you talking nonsense to a dying man? Hurry up and get some food, we have other things to do."
The man immediately sped up.
At this moment, Rong Qi seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
He approached like a ghost, and by the time the man in the cell noticed someone was there, the man outside had already been knocked unconscious by Rong Qi.
"Come!" The man didn't have time to call for help, but felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then the black man in front of him lost consciousness.
Rong Qi carefully avoided the man's wounds on the ground and found a place with less blood to help him up.
"Don't……"
Before Gu Feixue, who rushed over, could remind him, the dying man who looked like a corpse had already attacked Rong Qi.
Rong Qi was unable to dodge and was already bleeding.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Feixue grabbed the wooden barrel containing rice and threw it over. The man seemed to have eyes behind him and he struck with lightning speed, breaking the barrel into pieces.
"you……"
The man lifted up his messy hair, his eyes were sinister and vicious, "You all must die!"
The man threw Rong Qi out like a madman.
Rong Qi is a martial arts expert, but he did not expect to be ambushed just now.
This man was extremely strong. One punch had already caused Rong Qi to feel severe pain all over his body. Now he was kicked away and he couldn't get up for a long time.
The room was small, and soon someone arrived to support him. They grabbed Rong Qi's shoulders and dragged him away.
The man held a gleaming, bizarrely shaped weapon in his hand. Gu Feixue was about to charge at Rong Qi but had to turn around.
The man laughed wildly, "There's a road to heaven but you didn't take it, there's no door to hell but you broke in and captured that little girl as well."
At this moment, Gu Feixue had no time to think, and her body had already dodged outwards instinctively.
"Catch it, quick!"
A group of people were running around in the corridor.
She leaned against the wall, holding her breath.
If she hadn't accidentally learned about it from the girl, she might have thought that there was more than one person lying in ambush.
This corridor is winding and not suitable for hiding or avoiding.
There were people on both sides, roaring and neighing, moving towards one point to meet.
Attacked from both sides.
Once this group of guys gather together, Gu Feixue will be exposed.
It was a really good place to choose. The person who set the trap really put a lot of thought into it.
"Catch her! The girl is still inside. She can't get far."
"Even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground, I will catch this little bitch!"
People from both sides have gathered together. Gu Feixue is holding the only dagger she has. She is estimating the distance and weighing the direction. She is afraid that she will not be able to escape today.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind her, and a pair of cold, dirty hands appeared in the darkness. The hands covered her mouth, and Gu Feixue hurriedly turned around.
The dagger in her hand had already stabbed forward, but the next moment her eyes widened in shock.
