Pirate Song

There was not a single figure on the street, and everything seemed to be completely dark. There was only a lantern at the corner of the street that gave off a faint light.

The group of people slipped down the wall almost without making any sound, one after another, and quietly disappeared into the night.

The entire city fell into sleep. Only the city wall in the distance was outlined as a vague outline in the night sky. A few torches emitted a faint light on the city tower, but they could not shine into the alleys in the city.

Gao Huaiyuan led Zhou Hao and several other agile men, walking through the night like ghosts, crossing the streets and heading straight to the government office in the south of the city. No one was disturbed on the road, only two stray dogs seemed to

It was a little frightened, and after barking a few times with its tail between its legs, it quickly ran away.

When they arrived at an alley outside the government office, a dark shadow jumped out and waved to them, and the group turned into the alley without saying a word.

"Is there any movement inside? Are you ready with everything I want you to prepare?" Gao Huaiyuan lowered his voice and asked Li Ergou who answered him.

"Don't worry, young master, everything is ready. The shift has been changed inside now. We haven't heard any noise at all, and we didn't alert anyone! There are no repeat offenders in the prison, so the supervision is not strict, which is very convenient for us to take action!" Li Er

The dog nodded and replied.

Gao Huaiyuan nodded and asked everyone to repeat his task, and then everyone covered their faces with a piece of black cloth, only showing their two eyes. This group of people were a little excited at the moment, and they went into battle with real swords and guns.

They have long been used to it, but they have only experienced actions like this once when they wiped out Yang Tong's group in Daye County. Now they are going to the government to rescue their brothers. It can be said that everyone is both excited and a little a little bit.

nervous.

"Everyone, remember, try not to alarm anyone. We are here to save people, not to kill, so we need to be more measured in our actions and not make things worse! I will go up first in a moment. Zhou Hao will take two people in with me.

, Ergou, you and the rest of the people disperse around and get ready to meet us!" Gao Huaiyuan ordered the men who came over.

After hearing this, everyone nodded, and Li Ergou was responsible for leading the remaining people to meet them outside.

After arranging these things, when the watchman passed by the government office, Gao Huaiyuan immediately walked out of the alley with Zhou Hao and other three people, stood in the alley behind the government office, and looked up to see Gao Huaiyuan behind the government office.

Wall, this high wall is about three meters high. Most people cannot climb it without the help of tools, but this is not difficult for Gao Huaiyuan.

Although he doesn't know how to fly over the walls in novels, his light-weight skills should not be underestimated. So many years of weight-bearing training are not in vain. After taking a few steps back, he took a breath and suddenly started running with one foot.

He stepped hard on the high wall, then stepped on the wall alternately with both feet, as if walking on flat ground, flew onto the high wall, and finally stood on the high wall effortlessly.

If any young people of later generations see his movements, they will definitely find that the method used by Gao Huaiyuan is very similar to a sport called cool running in later generations, which uses wall steps without any external force.

The inertia of his own body pushes people to high places, and Gao Huaiyuan used this method to climb to the top of the wall easily. This is nothing to him now, but it is nothing compared to the legendary leap.

The light kung fu of climbing a high wall is a bit poor! Fortunately, they have never seen anyone in this world who can do that kind of kung fu. There are very few people who can achieve the level of Gao Huaiyuan!

Looking at Gao Huaiyuan's movements, Zhou Hao and the other two teenagers opened their mouths and slightly exclaimed: "Wow! The young master is so awesome! He just walked up such a high wall!"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If it's any later, it will be dawn!" Zhou Hao scolded the two teenagers who were following him in a low voice, then quickly walked to the wall and clasped his hands to signal to the two of them.

The two teenagers were also very agile. They immediately took off and ran towards Zhou Hao. Then they stepped on Zhou Hao's hands with one foot. Zhou Hao suddenly lifted them up. One boy immediately flew up and grabbed the high wall.

At the top of the wall, he turned over and lay on the wall like a civet cat, making only a small movement. Then another boy climbed up the wall in the same way, and his movements were quite neat.

When Zhou Hao was left alone, he also imitated Gao Huaiyuan's movements, turned back a few steps, and then suddenly stepped forward and stepped up the wall. Unfortunately, his leg strength was still one step behind Gao Huaiyuan's.

When Gao Huaiyuan was about to reach the top of the wall, he was exhausted and began to lean back. However, Gao Huaiyuan reached out and took his hand, gently pulled him up to the top of the wall, and his movements were very clean and agile, attracting him.

The people left behind in the shadows cheered secretly.

The four people climbed up the wall with little effort, as if the high wall was in vain. When they leaned on the wall and listened carefully to the sounds inside the wall, they confirmed that there was no abnormal sound inside, and then disappeared one by one.

Wall top.

This is the Ezhou Magistrate's Yamen, not the Jingxi Road Zhizhi Yamen, so the guards are relatively lax, and most of the prisoners here are insignificant prisoners, so there are not many jailers, and no one expects anyone to come to rescue them.

A seemingly inconspicuous spy or deserter provided Gao Huaiyuan and others with great convenience.

The four people quietly slipped down the wall and listened carefully. They found out that there were no dogs in the prison and breathed a sigh of relief. If there were a few dogs here, there would be a lot of trouble.

The alertness of dogs is not comparable to that of humans. Even a master of Gao Huaiyuan's level can never avoid alerting the dog. Therefore, what Gao Huaiyuan was most worried about did not happen, which made the four of them relax for a long time.

One breath.

The magistrate's prison is a separate courtyard in the backyard of the magistrate's yamen. The courtyard immediately connected to the front is the courtyard where the officers live. The entire prison is not large, covering an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters at most. There are four rows of cells in the entire courtyard.

, but it is half-level underground, otherwise it would not be called a dungeon. There is a small window near the ground for ventilation of the cell, but only the devil knows how useful it is.

Under siege, it is almost impossible to see sunlight inside the cell, and even if the wind blows, it will not blow into the cell.

After entering the prison, they had to be more careful. Once they alerted the people from the prefect's yamen here, they would probably attract a lot of yamen servants soon, and they would be in trouble.

Four people squatted under the shadow of a short tree in the corner and carefully observed the prison. Except for a small door in each row of cells to enter the cells, there were no other doors to enter, and there was a hanging hanging in front of each door.

There was a lantern, which cast a weak light, illuminating the courtyard with ghostly shadows, making it look eerie.

"I don't know which cell Zhao Tong is locked in, why don't we look for it separately!" Zhou Hao looked at several cells and whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan also had a headache. He hadn't found out which cell Zhao Tong was in in the past two days, but the courtyard was completely dark. It must have been no better inside the cell. Even if he leaned against the small window, he couldn't see inside.

You can’t touch them one by one!

"No, that will easily alarm the jailer. Let me think about it before I talk!" Gao Huaiyuan stopped Zhou Hao and then began to think about it.

"Yes! I know Zhao Tong best, and I know some ventriloquism skills. Zhao Tong usually likes to listen to the little one imitate the sounds of various insects and birds. The little one can try calling a few times. If Zhao Tong is not asleep,

If so, you should be able to tell it was a small sound!" A young man whispered to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked him to try it quickly. The young man put his lips together, and immediately there was a burst of lifelike bird calls, and several kinds of bird calls were changed one after another. Although it was a bit abrupt in the night sky,

But it wasn't easy to attract anyone's attention, and at the end he made a few cricket noises, which shouldn't happen this season, so if you're a smart person, you should be able to hear the problem.

Sure enough, not long after, a small wooden stick was thrown out of a window of the second cell, and then two toads screamed from the window.

The young man immediately laughed softly and said: "We found Zhao Tong! This boy can imitate the cry of a toad. He must have heard my voice. He is answering us!"

After Gao Huaiyuan listened to the noise around him again, there was no unusual sound, so he took Zhou Hao and a few others to quietly touch the cell where Zhao Tong was, then reached out and pushed the door, only to find that there were

The door is bolted and cannot be pushed open from the outside.

"I'll do it!" Zhou Hao pulled out a dagger from the boot of his calf, walked to the door, inserted the tip of the knife into the crack of the door, and tried to use the tip of the knife to open the door latch.

At this time, suddenly there were a few footsteps inside, and then someone cursed inside and said: "Damn it, where are the crickets chirping at this time!"

The four people were startled and immediately hid in a dark place. Then they heard the sound of the door latch, and a disheveled jailer walked out of the cell, scratching his crotch, and scanned the yard with his eyes.

He glanced at it, then cursed and muttered: "How damn weird, there are actually birds chirping in the middle of the night! There are even toads..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the high wall. He untied his belt and there was a splash of water. The jailer woke up from urinating. After hearing the chirping of birds, he came out to get up for the night.

Gao Huaiyuan saw Zhou Hao tightening his dagger, so he immediately held down his wrist, and silently jumped out like a long civet cat, directly behind the jailer. The jailer seemed to feel something, and while

Shaking the guy, he wanted to lift up his pants and turn around to watch. Unfortunately, he was not smart enough. Gao Huaiyuan raised his hand and lightly cut the back of his head. The guy didn't even hum, and his legs went weak.

, fell down.

Before he fell, Gao Huaiyuan held his body again and immediately dragged him into the shadow. Zhou Hao and the other three reached out to catch the jailer, put him gently on the ground, and tried to jump out.

Go inside the dungeon.

Gao Huaiyuan reached out and grabbed them, whispering: "Don't worry! Take off his clothes!"

Zhou Hao and the others immediately understood Gao Huaiyuan's intention, so they immediately took off the stunned jailer with all their hands. Gao Huaiyuan casually put the jailer's clothes on his body and put his hat on his head.

, standing in the dark shadow, it’s really hard to tell his identity.

"You three wait, I'll go down and rescue Zhao Tong. There's a jailer inside, don't be careless!" Gao Huaiyuan told the three of them, then turned around, opened the cell door, and walked down to the dungeon.

.

There was indeed a jailer in the cell, lying on the table and snoring. The whole cell exuded a stale smell and was damp. There was only a bean-like oil lamp dancing on the table.

There was a bottle of wine, and it seemed that the jailer from another prison came over to drink secretly with the jailer of this prison. Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious by Gao Huaiyuan outside the door.

The jailer seemed to be half asleep. After hearing the knock on the door, he muttered: "Didn't you go back to where you were? Why are you back again?" But he did not raise his head as he spoke.

Gao Huaiyuan responded vaguely and walked down the steps. He walked up to the guard and looked at the prisoners in the cells on both sides. Most of them were sleeping soundly, so he blocked the prisoners in the cells on both sides with his body.

They looked at each other and raised their hands behind the jailer's ears. The jailer snorted again and then fainted.

Gao Huaiyuan then took off a bunch of keys from the wall, swaggered into the prison, walked along the cells, and soon saw Zhao Tong in a prison cell where a group of people were locked up.

Zhao Tong had already realized something, and now he struggled to stand at the cell door, trying hard to look outside. When he saw Gao Huaiyuan walking in front of the cell door, Zhao Tong almost screamed.

"Shhh..." Gao Huaiyuan booed quickly to stop Zhao Tong, so as not to alarm the other prisoners and cause other prisoners to make noises. If the commotion started, no one would be able to leave!

"Come out, Zhao Tong, for interrogation..." Gao Huaiyuan fiddled with the keys. After finding the key to the cell, he opened the copper lock, pulled Zhao Tong out of the cell, and then locked the cell.

Door.

At this time, many prisoners woke up and looked at Zhao Tong who was dragged out with sympathetic eyes. They thought that this boy must be unlucky now. If he was dragged out for interrogation in the middle of the night, he would probably have to suffer again!

I can't even save my life!

Gao Huaiyuan did not look at the prisoners in the same cell, and dragged Zhao Tong toward the outside. Zhao Tong couldn't help groaning, and there was a splashing sound under his feet. Gao Huaiyuan lowered his head and saw that Zhao Tong's feet were still in bandages.

His feet were shackled, his clothes were in tatters, and there were blood stains everywhere. Only then did he realize that Zhao Tong had really suffered a lot in the past two days.

So Gao Huaiyuan half dragged and half helped Zhao Tong to the door, and quickly removed his wooden shackles and shackles. At this time, the jailer in the cell snorted, and seemed to be waking up. Gao Huaiyuan casually

Another slap was given to him, and he slipped away and fell to the ground, fainting again.

The whole operation went very smoothly. When Gao Huaiyuan jumped up to the wall, no one discovered that one person in the prison had been kidnapped. Zhou Hao and other three people lifted the injured Zhao Tong onto the high wall, and Gao Huaiyuan took him along.

As soon as they got down, Li Ergou and others rushed out, took Zhao Tong down, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

It was as if nothing had happened in the prison, except that there was a knocked unconscious jailer in a corner where no one was paying attention. However, at this moment, the guard was stripped as naked as a pig.

Not long after, Gao Huaiyuan led Zhou Hao and others down the high wall and hid in the shadows. He saw two people pulling a car with several large barrels, emitting a stinky smell.

The smell makes people have to cover their noses to avoid it.

"That's disgusting! Li Ergou, how could you come up with such a damaging idea? Can anyone hide in here?" Gao Huaiyuan asked Li Ergou, covering his nose and pointing at the cart. It turned out that Li Ergou came from nowhere.

They brought a shitty car, and at a glance it was clear that they were going to use it to transport Zhao Tong out of the city.

"No problem, there is a clean bucket here! When the city gate is opened at Mao hour, Gong Tong is the first to leave the city. It is the safest to use this one!" Li Ergou replied seasonedly.

Zhao Tong knelt down in front of Gao Huaiyuan with tears in his eyes, kowtowed heavily to Gao Huaiyuan and said: "You are incompetent. You failed to complete the task smoothly and caused trouble to the young master! Please punish the young master!"

"This is not the place to talk. Get up quickly and let Li Ergou take you out of the city and go back to Daye County immediately! Remember, you are mine and I will not let you go!" Gao Huaiyuan dragged him up.

Zhao Tong said to him.

After hearing this, the eyes of everyone around him flashed, but no one said anything and looked at Gao Huaiyuan silently. Li Ergou came over immediately, helped Zhao Tong, let him get into the car, and opened a large bucket of

Zhao Tong stuffed the lid of the bucket into it. After closing the lid, he personally pulled the cart transporting the bucket towards the city gate.

With the arrival of Mao hour, white fish belly began to appear on the horizon. After Gao Huaiyuan saw Li Ergou away, he waved his hand gently and took the remaining teenagers with him, rushing through the streets like ghosts.

, quickly ran back to the inn, then climbed over the wall, and each returned to their respective residences, as if nothing happened.

As soon as they lay down, they heard the owner of the shop getting up and opening the door. Then the waiter was called up and started to get busy.

When it was daylight, a burst of shouting and screaming suddenly came from the street. Soon, soldiers went from door to door and began to beat the doors of the houses that had not been opened, shouting that they wanted to search.

Gao Huaiyuan lay on the bed, stretched lazily, and said with a slight smile: "Li Ergou should have gone a long way by now!"

"Bah bang bang..." Someone outside the inn began to beat on the door.dd
