late at night.

Nanxin County Government, prison.

Li Mai and several prison guards were drinking wine with red faces.

Obviously, in the face of Huali's threat, he chose to surrender obediently.

Of course, the reason why he did this was perhaps just for the fifty taels of silver guaranteed by Hua Li.

After all, with the fifty taels of silver, plus the more than ten taels of silver he had obtained from Huali several times before, it was enough for him to escape from Hongdu City and return to his hometown in the countryside to buy more than ten acres of good land.

Moreover, if things can really go as Huali said, after tonight, everyone in the county government will become corpses, and no one will know the role he plays in this matter.

Even after the government finally suppressed everything, he would be considered dead like other people in the county government. The death of a gatekeeper with a low status obviously would not attract the attention of those officials at all.

...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

Everyone, including Li Mai, became drunk. Many people with poor alcohol tolerance were already unaware of the situation and walked out under the table.

Because Li Mai was prepared in advance, although he was also drunk, he was still awake at this moment when he drank a little less than others every time, and he didn't walk like other prisoners.

Although according to Huali's requirements, he only needed to have a good meal with these prison soldiers, even if he was drunk, he had decided to escape from the city overnight tonight, but he did not want to stay in this county government at all.

The sword has no eyes, Huali knows him, can other thieves from Tianyan Sect know him?

Seeing that there was almost no time left before Huali decided, Li Mai began to look at the direction of the prison gate frequently, and was a little nervous to wait for the arrival of that turbulent moment.

...

"Bang!"

When Li Mai looked in the direction of the prison gate for unknown purposes, a muffled sound accompanied by the kicking of the door by one foot and it reached everyone, including Li Mai.

"Who?!"

Although the prison soldiers who were not completely drunk were already shaking their bodies when they stood up, they still shouted loudly.

But what responded to these prisoners was not words, but a small but equally fatal flying needle.

"ah!"

"snort!"

...

The jailers screamed and muffled groans almost at the same time.

At this time, as long as the prison guards who were still open, they obviously realized that something was wrong. Their alcohol was instantly suppressed by the sudden soaring adrenaline, and their consciousness became much more awake.

But unfortunately, the alcohol contained in their bodies that must not disappear in a short period of time still plays its due role.

Moreover, the person who was sneak attacking outside the gate was very skilled in hidden weapons. Even if his body was still outside the gate, he could determine the position based on his sound and then shoot out the hidden weapons.

Even if these prison soldiers are still awake, they are afraid they will not be opponents of the other party at all.

"Ah, hum!"

Sure enough, with the hands of the person who had not yet appeared outside the door flashing again, another flying needle flew towards the direction of the prisoners at an extremely fast speed. Although there was no blood, the muffled groans and screams that the prisoners once again sounded were completely enough to prove the lethality of these flying needles.

After being killed by flying needles twice in succession, the remaining prisoners who were lucky enough to be shot still finally realized that they needed to avoid it immediately.

Accompanied by the noise of bowls, chopsticks and plates and pottery wine jars hitting the ground, as well as the friction between the legs of the table and the ground, and the sound of the corners of the table hitting the ground, the remaining prisoners hid behind the table that was overturned and turned into a large wooden shield.

However, after the opponent shot out hidden weapons twice in succession and caused a large amount of damage, the original plan had obviously been completed.

So while the remaining prison soldiers hid behind the table and were on guard against his hidden weapon again, he finally stepped over the gate of the prison and appeared in front of everyone.

"Star Lord!"

Accompanied by the prisoners of Tianyan Sect who had become excited by the previous hidden weapons in the cell, mixed with surprise and cheers, the person outside the door who had only one hand and one foot appeared in front of all the prison soldiers and prisoners.

And the person who came was naturally the Tianzhu Xingjun Huali.

All the people who were detained in the Nanxin County jail were from the Tianzhu Division, so it was natural that he, the Tianzhu Star Lord, came in person.

But for Li Mai, who had fallen to the ground when Huali took the first attack, but had not died yet and was suffering on the ground, the appearance of Huali was not so "natural".

He originally thought that this time the other people from the Tianyan Sect took action, so he didn't know him or didn't care that he was also in prison, so he didn't care that he was sneak attacked twice without caring about it, and he was naturally injured.

But the appearance of Huali now is enough to prove that the other party has no intention of handing over the fifty taels of silver to him as agreed and letting him go.

From beginning to end, he was just a chess piece to be used. Now he is useless and will naturally be abandoned. Moreover, he can save fifty taels of silver, so why not do it?

"If I could give up the fifty taels of silver, can you spare my life and let me go?"

However, for his own life, Li Mai is still making the final efforts.

"Haha, what do you think?"

Hua Li grinned at him and asked in a mocking tone.

And those prison soldiers who were still hiding behind the table, and even saw Hua Li alone but still did not dare to show their heads, heard Li Mai's plea and Hua Li's answer, and they suddenly felt endless anger in their hearts.

It turns out that this Erwuzi did a good thing!

‘No wonder this bastard deliberately looked for trouble before, then bet with the head, and used the bet to invite all of us to drink as a bet. It turned out that it had been planned long ago!

I was so sad that I was still secretly mocking him for being stupid in my heart. It turned out that the real stupid person was ourselves."

For a moment, as long as the prison guard who could still breathe, he was full of resentment towards Li Mai and regretted that he had not seen through Li Mai's true face before.

However, when they thought of the Erwuzi betrayed them all, and now they were about to die with them at the hands of Huali, they felt a sense of pleasure in their hearts.

"Haha, hoho, haha!"

But just as other alive prison soldiers cursed Li Mai in their hearts, and when Huali planned to send Li Mai, a person who knew everything, to get along with other prison soldiers, Li Mai suddenly laughed.

The laughter grew from small to large, and the expression on his face became more and more crazy, mixed with the pain of pulling the wound and twitching the corners of his mouth, which made him look extremely creepy.

Even though Hua Li, who seemed to have completely grasped the situation and took Yu Yu, couldn't help but frown when he looked at his crazy face, and a haze appeared in his eyes when he looked at him.

But Hua Li did not ask Li Mai why she laughed so much because of this. She waved her arm lightly and walked gently across Li Mai's neck, cutting open his trachea.

“Hh,Hh.”

Even though his throat had been cut open, Li Mai, who covered his neck, still looked laughing, but because of the gaps in his neck, his laughter sounded like a broken bellows.

But it was this laughter that seemed like a broken bellows that made Huali's eyes deeper.

Hua Li originally thought that Li Mai's laughter was just to survive and make a fool of himself, and wanted to use this to arouse his curiosity, and then asked him.

But now, seeing that the throat was cut open and blood poured into the lungs, making the whole face turn white, but the face was still full of madness that was trying to make a loud laugh, staring at Li Mai, Huali inexplicably felt a bad premonition in his heart, and then his mood became irritable.

He even regretted why he had to cut Li Mai's throat before. If he had just used the tip of a knife to make a hole in Li Mai's body, now he could ask one or two more questions. If he had directly pierced Li Mai's heart, Li Mai must have died long ago, and he wouldn't have had so many inexplicable emotions in his heart because of seeing the other person's current appearance.

Huali, who turned his head and forced himself to stop seeing Li Mai, seemed to vent his annoyance, and seemed to be to solve the remaining prisoners as soon as possible, release his detained men, act according to the plan, and start the killing.

At the same time, he did not forget to use a knife to lift the key in the direction of the cell when he saw the key, so that those who were still imprisoned in the cell were watching his subordinates excitedly opening the door and escaping.

As the prisoners who were already at a disadvantage became more and more prisoners of Tianyan Sect who opened the prison door and escaped, the situation became increasingly critical.

...

"Star Lord."

Finally, when almost all the prisoners of Tianyanmen in the cell escaped, no prisoner in the prison was still breathing.

The rescued prisoners of Tianyanmen immediately knelt on the ground on one knee, and after a low cry, they quietly waited for Huali's orders.

Even those who were eventually arrested fell to the ground with their former Tianzhu Xingjun Dong Chuanxing's actions together.

In these days, they have learned from the mouths of these arrested companions that have happened after they were arrested.

Although they really couldn't believe Dong Chuanxing's betrayal, after the other party carried out Huang Long, they had to admit all this.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

But just as Hua Li finally suppressed the irritability in his heart caused by Li Mai's crazy and weird smile before he died and was about to continue as planned, the sound of gongs suddenly sounded outside.

"not good!"

Hua Li couldn't help but change his face, and his heart was suppressed. Li Mai's face with a crazy and strange smile immediately appeared again.

...

The crisp sound of the gong seemed so abrupt in the quiet late night.

So much so that the crisp sound of gongs can be heard everywhere in the front or back yamen, whether in the front or back yamen, but at this moment it seems extremely harsh.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

In the back yamen, Huang Xiangfu didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and ran out wearing only silk-made cool pajamas. He asked his subordinates who were guarding the door with surprise and worry, who were also awakened by the sound of gongs.

But before patrolling the Houya, he immediately ran here to wait for him, the yamen runner who was waiting for him to issue orders, to give orders. How could he answer his question?

"Why don't you go and check the situation!"

Seeing the yamen runner in front of him standing in place like a sculpture, Huang Xiangfu couldn't help but be furious and kicked him directly.

The yamen runner who was kicked in the butt naturally did not dare to complain. He quickly got up from the ground and was about to follow the order and run to investigate the situation in the direction of the sound of the gong.

"Wait a moment!"
