Chapter 52: Night Talk
The night had just passed, and it was the most tiring time of the day. Even the most elite night guards in the bandit stronghold of Mount Tuopu were sleepy at this moment, and the guards guarding near the prison were yawning non-stop..
Under the protection of the night, a figure first crossed the open guard and secret sentry, sneaked into the inside of the stronghold, and then hid in the shadows, slowly approaching the prison..
The guards guarding the prison suddenly saw a bottle rolling into the prison. The four guards looked at it at the same time. At this time, a figure rushed into the prison from outside the door at an extremely fast speed. Before the guards could react, they were knocked unconscious on the ground. During this process, the guards patrolling outside the door did not hear any sound..
It was Monkey who sneaked into the prison without making a sound. Monkey did not look for the key to the prison. Instead, he took out a slender curved iron rod from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole gently..
A moment later, the prison door creaked open. Monkey ran towards Gu Xifeng and easily untied the chains that bound Gu Xifeng..
" What's going on? Are you poisoned?" Monkey saw that Gu Xifeng was extremely weak and hurriedly lowered his voice to ask..
"It's a mortal..
Monkey quickly took out a small bottle from his pocket. It was the antidote to Mortal Powder. As a member of the Seven Kills Camp, he naturally carried the antidote to Mortal Powder with him..
Gu West Wind ate the antidote and circulated his Qi to recover his strength..
After a cup of tea's time, the two of them got up and untied their senior brothers and sisters in prison one by one. They also handed over the antidote to Mortal Powder..
How to leave is a big problem. It is difficult for these people to break through by force..
"Junior brothers, you guys should leave first. When you guys leave, we'll try to break out again, lest we lose everything..
An older brother whispered..
Gu West Wind and Monkey nodded in agreement. They didn't say anything more and left the prison at the opportune moment..
The exit was very smooth, and soon the two of them arrived at a safe area some distance away from the stronghold..
"Monkey, I still have some things I need to go back to. You should observe from the periphery first. If anyone escapes, you should help them. If they don't, pass on the information about the prison to Senior Jiao and the others before dawn..
"Gu Xifeng put away the things that belonged to him that Monkey handed over and observed the direction of the mountain stronghold..
"No, you have to stay here. If we can't come out, someone has to send the information out. If Senior Brother Jiao and the others crash in like headless chickens, they will definitely die.".
"But... well, then you must be careful..
Monkey also wanted to refute, thought about it and felt that Gu Xifeng had some truth, so he no longer stopped him..
"Don't worry, I'm sure.
Gu West Wind smiled and rubbed Monkey's head hard. Before Monkey could go crazy, his figure had already rushed towards the direction of the stockade..
" Stinky West Wind, just you wait. I'm going to rub your head bald this time!" Monkey said fiercely, but his expression was worried..
At this time, the rescued senior brothers and sisters had not yet appeared. The night patrol guards were still lax and did not notice anything unusual..
Gu Xifeng used the cover of the night to sneak into the stronghold again. His goal was to find someone to talk to and change some things..
There is a house in the stockade that is located in a very special position. It is the most central position of the whole stockade. All the buildings in the stockade are built around this house..
This place was originally the residence of the group of bandit leaders who had already been slaughtered. Now, it was obvious that there were no guards here. If they really encountered someone who could threaten a grandmaster expert, ordinary guards would only die here for nothing..
Gu Xifeng carefully walked out of the window and lowered his body, not daring to make a sound..
"Little brother, why are you here at night? Don't hide anything. Come in and talk..
Wu Beiwang's voice came from inside the house, but Gu Xifeng was shocked by his calm tone..
Gu Xifeng did not enter the room immediately. He calmed down a little and pushed open the door. Wu Beiwang was sitting cross-legged on the bed. His closed eyes slowly opened as Gu Xifeng entered. The internal energy of the two dragons circling on his hands also suddenly dissipated..
"Junior disturbed Senior Wu late at night. Sorry for offending you. Please forgive me..
"The West Wind came forward to Wu Bei and looked forward to a younger generation's gift..
" Oh? You actually know my identity?" Wu Beiwang's heart stirred when he heard Senior Wu address him. He looked at Gu Xifeng with interest as if it was daytime..
"I came from the Galaxy Sect's Seven Kills Camp, so I know all about the experts in the world. Senior's two Eight-edged Silver Flood Dragon Hammers are well-known, so it's not difficult for me to recognize you when I see them..
The West Wind is still unresponsive..
"Seven Kills Camp? During the day, when you fought Lu Yuanzhi, you probably used Hundred Flowers Kill, right?.
"That's right..
"You even learned Hundred Flowers Kill, you must be Huang Xin's disciple. This guy doesn't have a proper appearance on weekdays, but the disciples he trained are quite interesting.".
"Senior's guess is correct. Huang Xin is my master. Does my master have an old relationship with Senior?" Although he wanted to complain when he heard Huang Xin's name, it was not wise to complain about his master in such an occasion..
"I can't talk about friendship, but I've interacted with him a few times at the border between the two countries. Although Huang Xin likes to hide in the dark, he's also good at low-level assassination techniques, but he's an interesting person.".
The eyes of Wu Beiwang are somewhat detached, as if they are caught in memories..
Huang Xin's interesting statement surprised Gu Xifeng. Taking advantage of Wu Beiwang's silence, Gu Xifeng thought carefully and could not connect Huang Xin with interesting..
Both of them recovered almost simultaneously..
There was a trace of embarrassment on Wu Beiwang's dignified face.
"Maybe you're really getting on in years. If you don't pay attention, you'll think of things in the past. Don't blame me, little brother..
"No, no, no..
Gu Xifeng was also a little guilty, and he didn't even have any confidence in speaking..
"Let's get back to the point, little brother. You're quite capable of escaping from prison, and you dare to come to see me after escaping. You're also quite bold..
Wu Beiwang smiled, but he enveloped Gu Xifeng with the pressure of a grandmaster..
:.
Gu Xifeng's expression was solemn. His Vitality was activated to the extreme, but he could only barely resist..
" Senior, I have something important to discuss with you. It has something to do with Jin 'an!" Gu Xifeng held back the pressure and spoke word by word..
"Oh, tell me.
Wu Beiwang looked suspiciously at Gu West Wind and casually dispersed the pressure. Gu West Wind only felt his body light and almost fell to the ground..
Gu West Wind took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said," Senior Wu, your purpose of coming here has failed. We have already found out that the stolen goods of the North Chu caravan are here. Moreover, the news has already been sent out. No matter what, the Absolute Beginning Dynasty will find these things. By then, senior will not only face our Seven Kills Battalion team..
"Senior, don't think about destroying things. Even if you can't find them at that time, it's feasible to hand over the heads of senior and others to Bei Chu.".
" Are you threatening me, kid?" Wu Beiwang's expression was a little ugly. He glared at Gu Xifeng angrily. Even if he did not activate his grandmaster pressure, Gu Xifeng's heart tightened..
"Junior is not a threat. In fact, Senior's plan has no chance of success. North Chu has only been established for a short time, and it borders the Great Wilderness Grassland. It needs to be heavily guarded in the north. Although its military strength is not weak, it does not have enough capital to fight against the outside world. Otherwise, it would not have given Absolute Beginning a month to step down..
"Even if the Taichu Dynasty includes the Galaxy Sect's troops, they are not considered strong among the vassals. If the two countries start fighting, the neighboring dynasties will be eyeing them and there is a risk of destruction at any time. Therefore, it is impossible for the North Chu Dynasty and the Taichu Dynasty to fight.".
Wu Beiwang was silent. He knew that this plan would not be easy to succeed. However, after so many years of running, he had not been able to avenge Jin An Dynasty. The unwillingness in his heart made him take the risk. What if it succeeded?.
"I think senior must have made up his mind to die this time, but I have news that will definitely change your decision..
Gu Xifeng saw that Wu Beiwang did not speak and continued to talk, ready to show his biggest trump card..
"Well, that's a good analysis. Tell me what news can change my mind.
Wu Beiwang touched his beard and gestured to Gu Xifeng to continue..
Gu West Wind took a deep breath and continued speaking with a solemn expression..
"Senior Wu, Prince Chu Boping of Jin 'an is still alive..
" What?" Wu Beiwang's face was full of shock. He suddenly stood up and walked in front of Gu Xifeng. He grabbed Gu Xifeng's shoulders with both hands..
"What you said is true? Where is the prince?""Everything I said is true. Chu Boping is now in Youzhou.".
" That's great, that's great. The prince is still alive. Haha, there's still hope for Jinan!" Wu Beiwang was as happy as a child. He couldn't stop laughing. He hadn't laughed so much in years. For some reason, he believed a child's words..
"Your mother, Wu Huaiqing, is with the prince..
"The West Wind has sent another message..
Wu Beiwang's laughter stopped abruptly, and the entire room suddenly fell silent..
"Father is alive too. It's good that he's alive..
Wu Beiwang's eyes were a little wet, and he muttered. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and there were shouts and fights..
" Did you do this?" Wu Beiwang's emotions were interrupted by this voice and he regained his calm..
Gu Xifeng nodded awkwardly, but Wu Beiwang did not say anything else..
"Commander, the prisoners in prison have escaped..
A voice came from outside the door, probably a messenger..
"Let the vice-generals handle this on their own. If you can't even handle such a small matter properly, you can lead the staff yourself..
The voice of Wu Beiwang was majestic, and the messenger immediately took orders and left..
" If I find out that you're lying, I'll find you and cut you to pieces even if I run to the ends of the earth!" Wu Beiwang stretched out his hand, and a flood dragon's internal energy swam in his palm. His tone was cold and threatening..
"Senior, don't worry. I'm telling the truth. I don't want to offend a grandmaster..
"Tell me where did you get the news?" Hearing Gu Xifeng's reassurance, Wu Beiwang's attitude towards him eased a lot, but his heart was still full of doubts..
"It's information from the Seven Kills Camp. I accidentally learned from Huang Xin that with the intelligence of the Seven Kills Camp, this should be true..
Gu Xifeng did not want to expose himself and said what he had already made up..
" Huang Xin?" Wu Beiwang didn't continue asking. He was deep in thought..
"Senior, since this operation is doomed to fail, why don't we just give up and lead the team to Youzhou to find Prince Jin An? I think Chu Boping will need this power from you..
"Are you teaching me how to do it?" he asked, looking at the North as if he were not moved..
"I have one more question..
"Please, sir..
"You and I have been dealing with each other for a long time, and I still don't know the name of the little brother.".
"My name is Gu Xifeng..
"Gu West Wind, Gu West Wind, Gu…" Wu Beiwang seemed to be attracted by this name, and he said it several times. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he figured out many things..
" Senior, listen to me…" Before Gu Xifeng could finish speaking, Wu Beiwang suddenly struck Gu Xifeng on the back of his neck with his knife, causing him to faint immediately..
"Let's not talk about whether the Galaxy Sect has the ability to obtain information about the Crown Prince or not. Even if they did, how could they leak such information to a child?.
"At this age, knowing the whereabouts of the prince and still surnames Gu, I still can't guess your identity. That's too stupid.".
"It seems that it is impossible to disobey, haha..
Wu Beiwang smiled and carried Gu Xifeng out of the room..
