Chapter 9 Defection
Jiangning left a way out of the city, and it would not be activated unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jiang Ning found Jiangping and asked him if he could get the layout of the prison, and Jiangping agreed immediately.
Jiangping came to the evening and took out a roll of drawings and said, "The Tianlao was divided into three layers: the first floor is to imprison prisoners below Lingxi, with a third-grade formation; the second floor is prisoners at Linghu Realm, with a fifth-grade formation; the third floor is to detain prisoners at Linghai and above. The master should be on the third floor. Because of the formation, the defense of the Tianlao was not strict. There is only a small team of five people at the entrance of each floor. The captain's cultivation is in Linghu Realm, and the others are all in Lingxi Realm. There are special people to provide food, so there is no loophole in this regard."
Jiangping paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Ning and continued, "I have transferred ten masters from my family these days, all of which are Linghu realm. If the young master wants to do it, he can do it anytime."
Jiang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't act rashly before you convict the crime. Once you take this road, you will not be able to turn back. Bei'an City does not have the strength to fight against the entire court. Do you have any orders at home for you?"
"Let me follow the arrangements of the eldest son, and the eldest son said we should stand by." Jiang Ping said without hesitation.
"Didn't we arrange people around the other princes?" Jiang Ning just thought of this possibility.
"Yes, but after being ambushed last time, the master thought this person was unreliable, so he broke off contact." Jiang Ping said a little surprised.
"Try to contact and find out the prince's intentions." Jiang Ning thought.
"Here." Jiang Ping had already made it clear that since the young master still asked him to contact him, he must have made sense.
That night, Jiangping went to an old house not far from the Prince's Mansion, and placed the written notes in an empty brick under the window. Then he left.
The next morning, a thin man avoided the crowd and entered the old house.
In the evening, a small forest on the outskirts of the city was approaching sneakily, and Jiangping confirmed that the person coming was a talented person.
The visitor asked, "Who are you, who have always been in contact with me?"
Jiang Ping covered his face and asked directly: "What the hell does the prince want to do?"
The person who came to the house said, "I don't know either. The prince has not been in the mansion recently. I heard that the person who often stayed with the prince said that he wanted to replace a few disobedient city lords."
"Is there anything else?"
"There is something strange. All the dead soldiers raised by the Prince's Mansion have been transferred away and they are missing."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Ping turned around and entered the forest.
The person who came stood for a while before leaving.
It was already midnight when Jiangping came to report to Jiangning. Jiangning was not surprised after hearing these two sentences.
"These two sentences are useful. Although they are not at the core, they maintain the relationship well." Jiang Ning said a little regretfully.
"Here." Jiangping didn't ask the reason. If Jiang Ning wanted him to know, he would explain.
"It's probably very difficult to get a hand in the Tianzhu. Now it's not as good as a quiet person." Jiang Ning said.
The reply that the prince had been waiting for day and night finally arrived, and the emperor only wrote "Ke" on the memorial.
The prince said happily: "Zhang Shun proposed an order, except for the lord of Bei'an City, the others in custody were replaced by candidates who had already planned it, and invented the order to inform the world. Another order was to say that Jiangbei'an colluded with court officials, and had a bad intention, and abandoned Jiangbei'an City, and was sent to death."
The next day, Jiang Ning received the news that it was noon. He was in a hurry to find Jiang Yu, and if the big yard seemed empty, Jiang Yu had already taken sick leave and had not been to court for a few days. Jiang Ning gave him a list and asked him to go back to Bei'an City to find his grandfather and be ready.
"Have I asked the medicine you prepared?" Jiang Ning asked.
The wolf nodded and said, "It's already ready."
"Jiangping, you bring people with you, take these medicines and sprinkle them all over Kyoto, and sprinkle more places with dense crowds." Jiang Ning said as he gave him a small porcelain bottle and said, "This is the antidote, one pill for each person before departure."
In the evening, Kyoto began to get messy. People with itching appeared on a large scale in the crowd. The itchy people could not stand it, so they were concentrated in clinics in various Kyoto. Anyone who had been in contact with itching began to itch. The clinic could not find the crux of the problem. These people fell into a coma within an hour and could not wake up no matter how they called it.
Overnight, more than half of the people in Kyoto were unconscious. 80% of the remaining people were infected. The three Davids in Kyoto were able to maintain order at the beginning, but they lost their combat power before dawn.
When the prince knew that there was an epidemic, patients began to appear in the palace. He urgently recruited the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital. After the imperial physician was diagnosed, he could not tell why, and he had never seen this disease before.
The prince stood in Wenxuan Hall, with five or six people standing at the bottom, all of whom were important officials in the court and the prince’s confidants.
"Tell me, what's going on?" The prince looked calm.
"I guess it is related to Your Highness's edict. As soon as the edict was issued yesterday, an epidemic broke out at night, which is a man-made disaster." said an old minister.
"I also agree with Lord Li's statement. This is someone who deliberately makes trouble. If Your Highness cannot keep the situation stable, it will give people a verbal remark and disappoint the emperor." said a middle-aged man.
"The people from the Imperial Hospital cannot count on it. Do you have any recommendations?" asked the prince.
After a moment of silence, a young man stood up and said, "I wonder if the prince has heard of the Southern Medical Immortal Ge Xuanqi. He now lives in Leying City."
"Oh, I have heard of his name, but I heard that this person is very strange. He does not see a treasure or treat people." The prince's eyes lit up and he said.
The young man said, "Yes, there is something like this. But the prince personally issued an edict, and he dared not not come."
"You can do this, and then pick a fifth-grade thing from the orphan treasure house for him." The prince relaxed and a smile appeared on his face.
"No." The young man replied. This young man was not a person in the court, but a person from the four major immortal sects of the empire, Nanhai Sect, and his name was Leng Yucheng.
After dawn, the city gate had just opened. Jiang Ning ordered Jiangping to take people to the north gate and prepare to pick them up.
Jiang Ning brought the fox wolf to the Tianzhu. The position of the fox wolf was very remote and no one came at all. Jiang Ning and the fox wolf set up a few plates of sacrifices at the upper vent not far from the Tianzhu and started burning paper money. This kind of thing happened often, and the people guarding the door did not take it as a matter of good things.
After about half a stick of incense, the two people guarding the gate felt their heads heavy and their spiritual energy was not smooth. At this time, Jiang Ning and the Fox Wolf had already walked up to them, and they were knocked down before they could react.
Jiangning sealed the spiritual energy of a gatekeeper and woke up and asked about Jiang Bei'an's whereabouts.
The man said he was on the third floor underground, and he didn't know the specific location. Jiang Ning fed him a pill, and the man fainted again.
Jiang Ning took out a set of array disks at the door. Then, according to the map in his mind, Jiang Ning entered the first floor, which was very quiet inside. Jiang Ning knew that it was the drug that worked. He found five guards at the entrance, tied up the people, sealed the hole, and each person had a pill.
Then I walked in. There was nothing wrong with the first two floors. At the entrance of the third floor, Jiangning woke up a guard and asked where Jiangbei's place was?
The man was stubborn and the fox came up to give him some pleasure. He woke up another person, and the man told him to see the person lying on the ground.
Jiang Ning asked again if there were any other guards. The man hesitated and finally saw the fox and wolf holding a knife and nodded quickly.
It turned out that the prince was worried, so he sent six dead guards to the prison to personally guard several city lords. Now Jiangbei has installed a water prison, and there is a guard at the innermost point. However, there is a thousand-pound gate between it and outside, and most people cannot enter.
The fox wolf asked the guard: "How to open the door inside?"
The guard replied: "If you can't open the outside, you can only open it from the inside."
"No, how could the prison door be able to only open from inside? If you don't tell the truth, I'll send you to see him." The fox wolf pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.
The guard said: "I'm telling the truth. Another way is to control the entire three-level formation and can be opened. However, the trading of the formation center was taken away by the prince's people, and they would come every day at noon."
At noon, Jiang Ning and the others could not wait. Jiang Ning began to check the array carved on the wall. It took about half an hour to figure it out.
Jiang Ning lifted a stone table in the guard room and directed the guard to dig down, digging more than a foot deep, revealing a crystal-like thing. Jiang Ning was happy, this was the heart of the formation.
Jiang Ning asked the fox wolf to set up a killing formation at the Qianjin Gate inside, and then he portrayed a few times on the heart of the formation. The "boom, boom" sound at the Qianjin Gate entrance slowly opened. The six people inside didn't know what they said and said angrily: "Do you still understand the rules? Without our permission, you can't open the door. This is the order given by the prince."
It was quiet outside. After waiting for a while, no one responded. A slightly fat middle-aged man poked his head out, looked around, and said, "Head, there seems to be no one outside."
A man with a hunched back at his back in his fifties said, "Everyone be careful and go out and have a look."
The six people took out their weapons and walked out carefully. After walking for about ten steps, a dazzling light in front of them made people unable to open their eyes. The three people walking in front felt a chill in their chests. When they looked down, their upper half had already slipped off their shoulders.
"Not good, there is an ambush." Someone shouted behind him, not sure whether to remind others or...
The light turned on again, and two more death guards fell to the ground, leaving only the hunchbacked old man, holding one of his right arm, his eyes horrified. With his sixth level of spiritual sea realm, he could not resist a blow.
When the third light was shining, the old man had already given up, and he knew that everything he did was redundant.
After dealing with the six dead guards, the fox and wolf entered the room first, checked around, and confirmed that they were safe before calling Jiang Ning.
There are three stone gates inside, and Jiangning and the Fox Wolf push open one at the same time.
Behind the stone gate was a water prison that could accommodate dozens of people. Jiang Ning checked and was a person he didn't know, and he was only in one breath. At this time, Jiang Ning had no time to take care of other people, so he quickly withdrew to the next room.
This time I came right, Jiang Bei'an was below. Because he had been in for a short time, the iron chain pierced the pipa bone. Jiang Ning carefully untied the iron chain. Jiang Bei'an had woken up. Seeing Jiang Ning, he didn't say anything, but just grinned.
Jiang Ning put medicine on Jiangbei, fed him another pill, and asked, "Father, can you leave?"
Jiang Bei'an lay down for a while, feeling much better, and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little weak."
Jiangning was driving the way in front, and the fox and wolf wanted to support Jiangbei'an, but Jiangbei'an didn't need it.
The three of them quickly left the dungeon and came to the entrance. Seeing that there was nothing happening around. Just as they were about to put away the formation plate, they heard a shout: "Bold thief, all the courage to rob the prison."
Four men in black appeared in front of the three men in Jiangning. These four people, one spiritual sea and three spiritual lakes.
It would be nice if Jiangbeian could block one spirit sea, but the other three Jiangning and the fox wolf could not stop it.
Jiangning and the other three retreated, and the four of them surrounded him.
A man in black from Linghu realm took a step back and said, "Wait, be careful of fraud."
The man in black in Linghai Realm mocked: "Jiang Bei'an is a little troublesome, what can you do to cheat? Deal with them quickly. After a while, the prince sent someone to come, and the credit will not be ours."
The other three nodded and rushed up. When the four of them stepped into the formation, their eyes became dark. Jiang Ning had no time to waste time with them, so he directly activated the killing formation to the maximum. The four of them didn't even have time to react and died.
Jiang Ning quickly put away the array plate, changed into a trapped array and arranged it, and said, "I hope this can buy us some time."
The three rushed towards the north gate.
Jiangping was guarding the north gate when he suddenly saw a man and a horse rushing to the north gate and shouted: "There is a prisoner who escapes from prison, and the prince's order is to close the four gates."
Jiangping suddenly became anxious and led his men to pick up the guy and headed straight for the slowly closed city gate. He didn't say anything nonsense, and cut down a few people who closed the door first. The other subordinates rushed up the door and seized control. The north gate was in a mess.
When Jiangning and the other two arrived at the north gate, Jiangping led only five people to resist in the door hole, which was at the end of their strength.
Jiang Bei'an rushed forward and killed the surrounding people back.
The people sent to seize the sect are at the ninth level of the Linghu Realm. Although they can suppress Jiangping and the others, they cannot do anything to Jiangbei'an.
The three of Jiangning gathered with the five Jiangping, rushed out of the city, and headed towards a barren mountain to the north.
After receiving the report, the prince was furious and said, "Baste, a bunch of waste. So many people can't even take a five-year-old child. What's the use of me raising you?"
The people below were silent. The prince was unhappy and continued, "What are the three guards in Kyoto doing? They can't even guard the city gate. Go and call the commander of the three guards. Send the orphan inner guards out, and think they can't go far."
Jiangning and the other two entered a barren mountain and found the teleportation array arranged by Jiangning earlier in a hidden valley.
"Father, this is a single teleportation array that directly leads to my courtyard. You go first." Jiang Ning said.
Jiang Bei'an said nothing and went directly to the teleportation array.
