Chapter 138: Prison Break

  We caught Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghe, and the various troops who rushed over to rescue us were all surprised. August 1st. However, facing their curious inquiries, I remained silent about how we caught Xia Lin and others.

  Zheng Yiming and others also kept silent about this, and the officers of various branches were afraid to force us, making the officers of various branches very uncomfortable.

  The truth is known only to Old Chen, because when facing Old Chen's inquiry, even if I had the courage of a giant, I wouldn't dare not speak.

  When I finished speaking, Chen Lao's face changed. In my heart, I secretly cursed and thought: "It's coming, he's going to criticize me..."

  Mr. Chen didn't say anything in the end either, he just waved his hand and told me to leave his office.

  I felt like I had been granted a great amnesty and quickly ran away. It wasn't until I arrived at the military prison where Xia Ling and others were temporarily detained that I slightly put my mind at ease. I was really worried that Old Chen would scold me severely in a fit of anger.

  Seeing some of the dejected Summer Lin and others, I tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, smiling and saying: "The military department is already discussing how to settle you, now it's inconvenient for everyone to stay here for a few days, wait until the military department has discussed the results, everyone will be free."

  Xia Lin said coldly: "You didn't say it like that at the time!"

  An enemy then continued: "You're not trying to deceive us, are you?"

  I smiled and shook my head: "What I said must count, everyone can rest assured. Now the elders are discussing, we have to give them some time, right? Everyone should be calm and wait patiently." Paused for a moment: "During this period, I will stay here with everyone, if anyone has any requests... except for leaving here, everything else can be proposed, and we will try our best to satisfy everyone's needs."

  Xia Lin sneered: "I want a gun, and then I'll shoot you with one bullet..."

  I forced a smile and didn't dare respond. Instead, Dongfang Yonghao said: "Miss, don't mind him, this person's words are unreliable, we will never believe him again."

  I smiled and said: "Brother Dongfang, don't provoke me. If I get angry, I might just come in and exchange blows with you, and it would be bad if I accidentally hurt you."

  Dongfang Yonghao suddenly stood up: "You might as well try, if I get hurt by you, I won't find you. Just afraid that you're not my opponent, and being beaten to death by me... Forget it, you're now a big shot who even dares to coerce women, probably don't dare to fight with me."

  I forced a smile, although my temper was rising, I also knew that this was Dongfang Yonghao's provocative tactic, and I couldn't fall for it. So I said: "There will be a battle between us sooner or later, but not now. Now you are our prisoners, and you don't have the qualifications to challenge me yet. If you are pardoned by the military department and enter the Longwang Corps, I will wait for your arrival at any time."

  Dongfang Yonghao shouted: "When did I say I wanted to join the Hu Long team? Don't dream, I won't join the Hu Long team."

  I smiled: "Suit yourself, if the military department pardons you, you can also choose to leave."

  Dongfang Yonghao let out a cold snort and stopped speaking. I felt that staying here was a bit awkward, so I walked over to the guard's position and sat down, closing my eyes to start cultivating. During this period of time, I had been busy, and the matter of cultivation had almost been forgotten by me. Now that I'm here accompanying these enemies, it's just right for me to cultivate a bit.

  As I entered meditation, I soon forgot about myself and the world around me. Time slowly passed by, and before I knew it, it was already early morning of the second day.

  I felt someone beside me, so I opened my eyes. It was Chen Jing, we hadn't seen each other for a few days, she came especially to see me. I smiled and made a gesture to Chen Jing, asking her to sit down.

  Chen Jing's face had a somewhat strange expression, then she lowered her voice and asked me: "This time you really did take hostage that... girl named Xia Lin to rescue the gunners?"

  I felt her tone was somewhat unusual, and I knew she was also suspicious of me, so I said directly: "I'm the one who hijacked her to rescue the gun group. Do you all think I shouldn't have done that? She's the enemy leader, the mastermind behind...

  Before I could finish speaking, Xia Lin coldly interrupted, "Jin Cang, watch your words. What's this nonsense about 'culprits of evil'? We're just enemies on opposing sides, there's no distinction between justice and evil."

  I forced a smile and whispered to Chen Jing, who looked shocked: "That's Xia Lin, she's very fierce."

  Chen Jing smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "You've taken someone hostage, don't you let them get angry?"

  I sighed and said, "It seems that this time I really did something wrong, even you blame me. Next time if I encounter such a situation, I will definitely not use this method to save people, I'd rather face the enemy head-on with real swords and guns, life and death are destined, success or failure is in heaven."

  Chen Jing seemed to be taken aback, and hastily said: "Don't... if there's another situation like this, no matter what you do is fine, even taking a girl hostage is okay, as long as... you can come back safely."

  I smiled, feeling Chen Jing's concern for me, and I couldn't help but want to reach out and hold her hand. But she quickly withdrew her hand and said with a straight face, "What are you doing? This is a prison!"

  I forced a wry smile and didn't dare make another move.

  At this time, Xia Lin said again: "Jin Cang, it's already the second day, do you count what you said or not? We are still waiting to be released."

  I immediately looked at Chen Jing and asked her in a low voice: "What should we do? Can we let them go?"

  Chen Jing slightly shook her head: "The superiors said that these people killed more than a dozen of our troops, even if they surrendered voluntarily, there must be some punishment. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the masses in the future."

  My heart skipped a beat as I hastily asked: "What exactly did they mean by 'punishment'? Surely it can't be that they want to take their lives in exchange for a life?"

  Chen Jing sighed slightly: "The elders have said that the leaders of these people must be severely punished, and the others can temporarily be managed by the Hu Long team, as external personnel of the Hu Long team. After they pass the assessment, they will be assigned to various troops and become formal warriors."

  I furrowed my brow: "In that case, I'm afraid none of them will obey and there will be more changes. I'll go see the Emperor now, hoping he can recall his decree and let these people join the Dragon Guard."

  Chen Jing hastily pulled me back and whispered: "The orders have already been given, it's no use for you to go. They are the enemy, you don't need to be so kind to the enemy."

  "I said solemnly, 'This is not mercy to the enemy, but a promise I made to them earlier. I cannot betray people, let alone our enemies. Besides, they are all veterans of war and true warriors. We can completely let them serve our country and people. Why must we punish them and make China lose useful talents?'"

  Chen Jing quietly sighed and suddenly whispered in my ear, "My grandfather and I knew you'd be like this. My grandfather said that you don't need to go see him anymore. If you're confident that you can make these people work for us, then take them away from here. As for the specific method, you can decide on your own."

  I was overjoyed and hastily said: "Then I'll take them away now..."

  Chen Jing covered my mouth with her hand and whispered, "Don't make a sound, be careful not to be discovered. You're going this time, it may take a long time before you come back... I... I'm a bit worried about you, you... are flirtatious..."

  I smiled and patted my chest: "You're in here, I'll never forget."

  Chen Jing smiled slightly, her face flushing: "Then I'll wait for you to come back, and when the time comes... you must marry me, or else... anyway, if I get old and no one wants me, it's all your fault."

  I smiled and quietly held her hand, feeling a great sweetness in my heart, just like I had just eaten a big mouthful of honey.

  Chen Jing didn't let go this time, instead she also gripped my hand tightly: "Then you get ready, I'll have Ding Hui and the others assist you. After they distract the guards here, you take them out through the back door."

  I felt that she seemed to have something in her hand, so I quietly grasped it and nodded: "I know, tell Ding Hui, ask them not to hurt anyone."

  Chen Jing nodded slightly, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Then take good care of yourself and try to make them obey you. If it doesn't work out, don't force it, your own safety is the most important... You must remember, Huanhuan and the others are still waiting for you to come back, you absolutely cannot have an accident!"

  I nodded heavily: "You go first, I'll find a way to contact you."

  Chen Jing, however, did not leave. She pulled my hand and said: "My grandfather said that once you leave this place, they will issue a wanted notice for you, and at that time you will be in a precarious situation. So you must pay extra attention to your own safety, not only to beware of the enemy but also to beware of our own people. You...you must remember."

  I had expected as much, this is something that has been portrayed in ordinary movies and TV dramas. Being an undercover agent isn't easy either, one's life is always under threat from both one's own people and the enemy. So I nodded again, pulled Chen Jing and sent her out.

  Chen Jing knew I had already made up my mind and also knew that I wouldn't easily change my decision, so she left with tears in her eyes.

  I watched her back disappear from my line of sight, then turned around to face Xiaoling and the others. I took a deep breath and slowly said: "The military leaders have already come up with a result. Most of you have gained your freedom and can go to the Dragon Protection Squad. For now, you are all external personnel of the Dragon Protection Squad. Once you pass the assessment, you will become official soldiers."

  My words made many enemies happy, but Dongfang Yonghao said coldly: "Only I and the young lady did not receive a special pardon, right?"

  His words caused the originally happy crowd to collectively petrify, then someone shouted: "How can that be? Didn't you say at first that we could all gain freedom? How can you speak without keeping your word?"

  "After you all have reacted, I said: 'So now I have a new decision, that is, I will let you leave here. As for what happens after you leave here, it's not up to me to decide. Of course, you can also choose not to go and stay with the Dragon Protection Squad for a while, and then you can be truly free.'"

  "Dongfang Yonghao sneered, 'You're trying to get your people to wipe us all out, aren't you? Your plan is sinister and treacherous. Everyone, don't fall for it, absolutely do not leave this place. Outside, who knows how many guns are trained on us, if we go out, we'll definitely be killed.'"

  I didn't say much, just quietly watched them, then glanced at Xia Lin.

  Xia Lin stared at me, seeing me looking at her, immediately raised her head and sneered: "You think so, don't you? Otherwise, why would you be so kind as to let us leave here?"

  I felt speechless, and after thinking for a long time, I said a sentence "Do as you please", then picked up the key and opened the door of the cell. The people detained here were all from Xia Lin's side, with more than 100 people in total, each locked in a separate cell. The one I opened was the cell where Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao were detained. As for the other cells, my intention was to let them go to the Hu Long team to take the test, so I didn't open them.

  My actions left Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao, who originally didn't trust me at all, stunned. I said calmly: "Let you go, I'm just a traitor of the Dragon Guard, I'm their sinner. So I'll leave here first, as for you two, whether to stay or leave, you decide for yourselves."

  After saying this, I turned around and left without staying for a moment.

  Outside the prison, it was very lively at this time. Ding Hui and his men, disguised as enemies, were attacking the prison. Of course, they wouldn't hurt anyone, all the weapons were firing into the sky, just making a show of force.

  However, the prison guards did not know that those who came were not enemies, and one by one they ran out to the enemy, almost all gathering at the front gate.

  I slipped out of the back door, and on my way I actually saw a guard. I knocked this guard unconscious with one hand, hid him in a corner, then flashed my body, crossed over the prison wall and high-voltage wire mesh, and came to the outside of the prison.

  The outside of the prison is a highway, with cars coming and going, very prosperous. So almost immediately, I hailed a taxi, and before it had even come to a complete stop, I had already jumped inside. Then I said to the driver: "Drive, go to the airport!"

  The driver was just about to start the car when the door was pulled open from outside. I saw Dongfang Yonghao and Xia Lin also getting into the car, neither of them looked at me, and they said to the driver: "Go to the train station."

  The driver was stunned and didn't speak for a while before asking: "Three of you, are we going to the airport or the train station?"

  I said: "Go to the airport."

  "But Dongfang Yonghao said at the same time: 'Go to the train station.'"

  The driver was stunned again. Dongfang Yonghao, who was sitting next to the driver, was furious and grabbed the driver's collar, pushing him out of the cab. The taxi's front door also flew out with him.

  Dongfang Yonghao then drove the taxi, which was missing a door, speeding down the highway towards the train station.

  I had the heart to oppose, but seeing Xia Lin's face full of murderous intent, staring at me dead on, with an extremely unkind gaze. I could only force a bitter smile, turn my head and not look at Xia Lin.

  The taxi sped to the extreme, Dongfang Yonghao's driving skills were quite good, and I don't know how many vehicles passed by on the way, nor do I know how many red lights were broken, anyway, in just a few minutes, I saw the huge sign of the train station from afar.

  Dongfang Yonghao parked his car so close to another vehicle that its owner was frightened pale.

  We ran into the ticket office of the train station amidst the man's curses and bought tickets together.

  I said "Give me a ticket to Hubei Wuhan", but Dongfang Yonghao said "Give me three tickets to Xinjiang".

  Then the ticket seller laughed: "Who's first? Do you want to queue?"

  So I took a step back and gave up my place to Dongfang Yonghao. Dongfang Yonghao didn't appreciate it, and went forward to buy the ticket instead.

  But he forgot one thing, that buying train tickets requires an ID card, but his and Xiaolin's ID cards had been taken away long ago.

  So when the ticket seller was about to check his ID, he froze.

  I smiled secretly and took a step forward, handing the three ID cards to the ticket seller. These three ID cards were all real, and they were indeed ours.

  This was something Chen Jing quietly gave me, she had long expected that I would choose to help Xia Lin and Dongfang Yonghao leave, and also knew that we would need ID cards when we left, so she made preparations.

  The ticket seller smiled and took a look at our ID cards, then gave us three train tickets to Xinjiang.

  I was surprised to find that Dongfang Yonghao actually had money on him, and the three train tickets were paid for by him. How could the people who searched him before not have found any money on him? This is suspicious.

  The train is fifteen minutes later, so we still have time to look around. Of course, what we are looking at is not any scenery or novelty, but just - will anyone come after us?

  When we got on the car, Dongfang Yonghao told the driver that our destination was the train station. Of course, I said it was the airport.

  If the driver is okay, he should have reported it by now and the police should be contacting the train station.

  Xia Lin suddenly remembered that Dongfang Yonghao had even taken my ticket when he bought it. So she coldly said to me: "You want to be an undercover agent and go to our lair? Don't dream about it, on the way, we will definitely get rid of you."

  Dongfang Yonghao said: "Once you leave the capital, we will kill you. If you don't want to die, then disappear quickly."

  I smiled and said, "Lend me some money, I'll go to Hubei myself. I don't want to go to Xinjiang with you guys, that place is unfamiliar to me, and I've heard we have to eat mutton. I'm not used to it, and I'm also afraid you guys will kill me."

  Dongfang Yonghao was suddenly at a loss for words: "You clearly know that I don't have any money on me, the money from just now was taken from that taxi driver's body... and it was used to buy three train tickets, not a single cent is left."

  I finally understood how he had money, and smiled: "It seems that you are not a gentleman either, similar to me, daring to do anything."

  Xia Lin sneered as soon as she heard what I said: "How can Dong Fang be compared to you? He wouldn't take a girl hostage."
