He heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xun's eyes were cold as he walked towards the prison in the A section of the Heavenly Prison.
In the past.
Xiao Xun was in charge of some of the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the entire imperial prison.
Today.
It was time for a change.
Originally, he had wanted to keep a low profile for a period of time and increase his strength.
Now, it seemed like…he had to keep a low profile.
Lei Qianhu, Lei Hu, Li Lei, and the others were colluding with each other. Since they dared to let Chen Tianba go, they would definitely not allow this matter to spread.
It was obvious.
In the eyes of these people…
Today, Xiao Xun absolutely should not have appeared alive.
"Li Chang is probably on the kill list of these people.”
While he was thinking, Xiao Xun walked into Area A prison.
In the Heaven Prison, the jailers were in groups of six and had a room for them to rest.
There were two beds in the cell for the night guards to rest in the morning.
As soon as Xiao Xun walked into the cell allocated to him, he very keenly smelled a faint bloody smell.
His strength had reached Rank-5, and he even had 100% of Gu Santong's combat experience…Xiao Xun's vision and sense of smell had improved greatly compared to before.
He looked up and swept his gaze across the entire cell. When he saw a figure lying on the bed, his eyes immediately focused.
Li Chang!
The faint smell of blood came from Li Chang's direction.
At this moment, Li Chang was facing the cell with his back to the wall. He was curled up with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.
Xiao Xun walked over.
She noticed that Li Chang's face was very pale compared to yesterday.
He remembered that he had made an agreement with Li Chang yesterday afternoon to go home directly.
Last night, Li Chang should not have been on duty in the prison.
As they approached.
The smell of blood gradually thickened.
"Li Chang."
Standing three feet away from the head of the bed, Xiao Xun called out as a profound expression flashed across his eyes.
Last night, chaos broke out in the palace.
Li Chang was a Rank-5 expert.
Involuntarily, Xiao Xun connected the two together.
Li Chang, Hua Daochang, opened his eyes.
"I have a headache. I think I've caught a cold.”Hua Daochang spoke in a weak voice.
Xiao Xun swept his gaze around, took a step closer, and said in a low voice,""Yesterday, Chen Tianba faked his death to escape. In Lei Qianjue and Lei Hu's eyes, you and I should have been killed by Chen Tianba.
Now that we are still alive, they will definitely attack us very soon.”
"Chen Tianba…"
Hua Daochang was stunned for a moment before he remembered who Chen Tianba was. He was speechless.
This was really…a leaky house met with a rainy night.
Hua Daochang frowned when he thought about his current condition.
"You killed Chen Tianba with a single strike, so Lei Qianjue shouldn't be your match.”
Hua Daochang said in a low voice.
"I'm just here to remind you." Xiao Xun said calmly," If Lei Qianjue's men see you lying here, they might kill you first.”
Hua Daochang's eyelids twitched.
"You…"
Hua Daochang looked at Xiao Xun and hesitated.
"What?"
Xiao Xun asked calmly.
Hua Daochang hesitated for a while and slowly said,""I'm injured."
"Oh." " Oh," Xiao Xun said softly and continued to ask," And then?”
Hua Daochang pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
The two of them were not familiar with each other and had their own secrets.
Hua Daochang knew that if he asked for help, he would be captured by the jailer.
There was no trust between them.
"Since you have nothing to say, then do your best.”
Xiao Xun said and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Hua Daochang called out to Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun turned to look at Hua Daochang.
"I know where the Empress Dowager is." Hua Daochang said slowly.
"Empress Dowager?" Xiao Xun was startled, and his brows slightly raised.
"The ninth level of the Heavenly Prison." Hua Daochang whispered.
Xiao Xun narrowed his eyes and stared at Hua Daochang silently.
Hua Daochang felt helpless and could only say,"Last night, a fire broke out in the Imperial City. I suddenly remembered that when I was moving Gu Santong's corpse away in the morning, I seemed to have forgotten to lock the prison door…
When I quietly entered the ninth floor of the imperial prison, I saw a huge jar half the height of a person inside. There was a head at the mouth of the jar.”
"How are you so sure that the one in the jar is the Empress Dowager?" Xiao Xun asked, staring at Hua Daochang.”
Hua Daochang blinked." Last night, the three thieves wreaked havoc in Jingdou and the Empress Dowager mysteriously disappeared. Who else could it be other than the Empress Dowager in that jar?”
Xiao Xun thought to himself.
The imperial prison was only one lane away from the palace.
Moreover, he knew that there was a dog hole in the ninth level of the imperial prison that led directly to the imperial palace…Cheng Fei Fei had entered the ninth level of the imperial prison through the dog hole and obtained Gu Santong's strength imparting.
It was highly possible that Li Chang was one of the three thieves who had discovered the dog hole and snuck into the palace through it last night.
When he escaped, he discovered that there were others who knew about this passage and had hidden the Empress Dowager in the ninth floor of the imperial prison.
"Why are you telling me this?" Xiao Xun looked at Hua Daochang.
" Go and save the Empress Dowager," Hua Daochang said." If you save the Empress Dowager, you'll be a hero. Lei Qianjue won't make things difficult for us anymore."”
"You're thinking too simply.”Xiao Xun was very calm and cautious." First of all, why would I go to the ninth level of the imperial prison? Did I know that the Empress Dowager was in the ninth level of the Heaven Prison?
If I really save the Empress Dowager, the Guarding Dragon Villa, East and West Chambers, Six Fan School, and other forces will definitely investigate the entire prison. Are you sure you can get away with it?”
" It's just saving someone." Hua Daochang frowned and said," It's not that complicated."”
"Originally, it was indeed not complicated. But because of you, things have become very complicated.”
"What do you mean?" Hua Daochang looked up at Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun said meaningfully,"The three thieves wreaked havoc in Jingdou, and the Empress Dowager mysteriously disappeared…Do you think everyone will suspect who kidnapped the Empress Dowager?"”
Hua Daochang's expression changed." You suspect that I kidnapped the Empress Dowager?"”
"It really is one of the three bandits. It seems like it should be the Thousand-faced Fox Flower Dao Chang.”
Xiao Xun thought to himself and shook his head." That's not important. The important thing was that if they couldn't catch the real culprit, someone would have to take the blame.”
Hua Daochang's face turned pale.
"I need to know three things."
Xiao Xun looked at Hua Daochang and said," One, how are your injuries? Two, when do you plan to leave, and three, how did you meet the Empress Dowager last night?”
Hua Daochang was silent for a while, then chose to tell the truth. He said in a low voice,""I was slashed by Guihai Yidao and shot by Pi Xiaotian from the East Military Hall. I can't use my martial arts for a while.
When I recover, I will leave.
As for meeting the Empress Dowager…After I escaped from Guihai Yidao's blade, I took advantage of the chaos in the palace to disguise myself as a eunuch and sneak into the clean room. I entered the cave that connected to the ninth level of the imperial prison. Once I returned to the ninth level of the imperial prison, I saw that huge jar…"
"Other than the jar, you didn't see anyone else?”Xiao Xun asked.
Hua Daochang shook his head slightly." No, I was seriously injured at that time, so I didn't dare to check the jar. I only thought that the empress dowager was in the jar.”
Hua Daochang added,""It can only be the Empress Dowager."
Xiao Xun was about to ask more when he acutely heard footsteps behind him.
"Pretend to be asleep."
Xiao Xun said in a low voice.
Hua Daochang understood and closed his eyes.
Xiao Xun strode over to his locker.
In the cell, every jailer had their own locker and clothes rack.
