Chapter 60 A glimmer of hope



The three guards' eyes widened and they fell down without even a scream.

Xie Siheng stepped forward, pulled out the crossbow arrow, wiped it carelessly on the dead body, and then put it back.

The people in the cell looked at this scene with some horror.

There are dozens of cells of various sizes here.

Looking around, almost all of them were young and strong men, with only a very small number of women and children.

Among them were refugees, civilians, and some people who had a strong aura of bandits and looked difficult to deal with.

Xie Siheng opened the cell doors one by one, his eyes sweeping over them: "If you want to escape, do it now."

After hearing his words, some people ran out without looking back, some people looked at him hesitantly, and some people were so scared that they would rather hide in jail than come out.

He ignored them all and walked out slowly.

Outside this place, the sounds of horses neighing and people shouting became more obvious. He guessed in his heart that it was Ji Changying who made the noise.

He put away the crossbow in his hand and prepared to rush to the gathering place. He didn't care about what happened to the people behind him.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Everyone on alert!"

Seeing so many horses rushing out, the deputy general quickly realized that someone had sneaked in. He immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Jiang Yucheng's room and took people out to give orders.

Ji Changying had a smooth journey. When she was about to reach Xie Siheng, she saw several soldiers slashing at a woman holding a child with their swords.

Even when the knife was about to fall, she still tried to use her body to block the knife for the child in her arms.

This scene made her eyes fierce, and she made those people stab each other.

The woman was so frightened that she picked up her child and ran away.

Ji Changying looked at the high platform, where the deputy general was directing people to kill those who had escaped from the prison.

Anger rose in her.

OK!

It still doesn’t look messy enough!

She gave up paying attention to the woman and child over there, and directed all her mental energy towards the deputy general. She wanted him to die!

The deputy general was listening to his men reporting the news.

"General! Our...our armory is empty."

The person who came to report the news had his entire back soaked with cold sweat, and he lowered his head without even looking up.

The deputy general turned around and glared, "What did you say? Empty?!"

"Yes! The armory was robbed. All our weapons are gone."

"Report—"

"The herd is out of control. The two horses presented to the prince are gone!"

Later, Sima stood there wiping his sweat with his sleeves, looking scared.

Both of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at the deputy general's expression.

"Useless! I'll chop you up!"

The two men were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please spare my life, General! Please spare my life, General!"

As soon as the deputy general raised his hand, he felt a tightness in his hand. The hand holding the knife was out of control and the tip of the knife was pointed at himself.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control himself and cut himself in the stomach with a fierce knife.

The subordinate lowered his head and only raised his head tremblingly when he felt the winding blood slowly flowing to his feet.

What you see is the deputy general holding a knife and cutting open his own stomach.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

Seeing this, the two men didn't dare to step forward, for fear that they would be charged with assassination.

He fell down from the platform, screaming at the top of his lungs: "The general committed suicide!!! Someone, come! The general committed suicide!!"

It’s even more chaotic here!

Ji Changying was very satisfied with the effect. There were horses here, and those private soldiers had no one to command them. Most of the weapons had also been collected by her. If this continued, the captured people would still not be able to escape.

I can only say it’s fate!

After all, without today, they would have died here sooner or later.

Now they have been given a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, a group of people with bad intentions were following behind Xie Siheng.

As soon as this group of people came out of the prison, they set their sights on the crossbow in Xie Siheng's hand.

If they hadn't been afraid of his ruthlessness in killing three guards at the beginning, they would have been unable to restrain themselves and taken action by now.

Xie Siheng was also aware of this. He took advantage of the opportunity to turn the corner, suddenly turned around and aimed behind him. After shooting and killing three people, he immediately threw the crossbow in his hand at the person who wanted to rush over.

"mine!"

“This is mine!”

When a group of people saw the crossbow arrow being thrown at them, they all reached out to grab it, and it was finally caught by a strong man.

When loading the arrows, they found that the crossbow was missing a key part and could not be strung at all!

"insidious!"

The man was so angry that he threw the crossbow arrow to the ground.

Just after finishing that side, the two met.

Xie Siheng felt relieved: "How are you? Did you find the money and food?"

"We found it, and we got what we wanted! A lot of people came out of nowhere outside, and martial law is in effect everywhere. Let's evacuate quickly!"

"Follow me, there's a shortcut."

When Xie Siheng heard that she had received it, he just thought that she had received the silver note and did not ask any further questions.

"Where's the shortcut? You seem to be quite familiar with it these days!"

Ji Changying couldn't help but look at Xie Siheng inquiringly.

He didn't answer, and took Ji Changying back to the place where the people were imprisoned, dodging all the way.

At this time, all the cells here were empty, and almost everyone had run out. Those who were afraid to move at first finally stepped out of here after seeing so many people leave.

Xie Siheng took her without looking away and walked to a secret and spacious cell in the deepest part.

An old man and a young boy were sitting on the ground inside, looking extremely calm.
