1139、Emergency
His own safety is temporarily guaranteed, but Wang Xiu was not happy at all, and he was still worried about Liu Zhe.
In the dark prison, Wang Xiu didn't know how long it had passed, and it was already time to have dinner at night.
"It's time to eat."
A prison guard was so cold that he put a bowl of thick rice in front of Wang Xiu's door. In addition to the thick rice, there was also a little meat and vegetables.
Wang Xiu looked at the meat and vegetables on the rice and the thought that arose in his heart was to thank Liu Zhe. Because Liu Zhe ruled Jizhou and Bohai, the economy of Bohai improved a lot, so that the food of prisoners in prison also improved a lot.
If it were in the past, these prisoners could get food just a hard bread, and they could not afford it like now.
However, even though the food is good, Wang Xiu still couldn't eat it. He had never eaten such a meal? He simply closed his eyes and thought about how to spread the news to Liu Zhe.
I don’t know how long it took, but at night, a prison guard quietly came to Wang Xiu’s cell and whispered: “Prince, Prefect…”
"Who are you?"
Wang Xiu did not know the prison guard. He asked with caution that Geng Bao's tentacles were already spread throughout Nanpi, and even these prison guards had been bribed a lot. Wang Xiu couldn't believe anyone now.
"Prince, have you forgotten?"
The jailer leaned closer, let Wang Xiu see his face clearly, and whispered: "It's me."
"It's you?" Wang Xiu was surprised. This person was the son of his neighbor Lao Lin, Lin San.
"Yes, it's me."
Lin San nodded and said, "Prince, you have been put on jail. Now your home is in chaos, but Prefect Geng sent people to surround your home and prevent people from going out."
"Damn it." Wang Xiu felt nervous when he heard the news of his family and was very worried.
"Prince, do you have anything to tell me about your family?" Lin San asked.
Wang Xiu's heart moved and he asked, "Lin San, do you know Xiahou Lan?"
"Know." Xiahou Lan is the commander of Nanpi City, responsible for defending Nanpi City's public security defense.
"Okay, go and tell him and let him escape from the city immediately. At the same time, ask him to tell his lord that Nanpi City is very dangerous, so please don't come to Nanpi." Xiahou Lan is not Yuan Shao's old dependent, so he should not be in harmony with Geng Bao. However, people's hearts are the most difficult to figure out. Wang Xiu had no way to determine whether Xiahou Lan would be the same rebellious person at this time. He could only leave the will of fate and pat Lin San to find Xiahou Lan.
At the same time, he felt sorry for Lin San because he asked Lin San to go through the Ghost Gate. Once Xiahou Lan participated in Geng Bao's plan, Lin San would be dead.
But at this point, Wang Xiu had no choice but to go. He had thought of asking Lin San to find Liu Zhe. When Wang Xiu was sure, Nanpi City had been under martial law and could not get out without any means.
"Okay, I'll go find the commander immediately." Lin San did not hesitate at all.
"Be careful of everything."
Wang Xiu instructed Lin San, and when he saw Lin San's serious expression, he felt very guilty. He reminded: "Once you find something wrong, run away immediately."
Lin San left in a hurry. Wang Xiu looked at Lin San's back and suddenly lost all his body and left, leaning against the wall. This time, Wang Xiu only hoped that Lin San would succeed.
In the evening, the commander Xiahou Lan was studying at home. What happened today caught him off guard. The prefect Wang Xiu was imprisoned without warning. The secret order held by the acting prefect Geng Bao did not know whether it was true or false. He was also asked to stay at home and hand over the military power.
Of course Xiahou Lan was unwilling to do so, but the matter terrified Xiahou Lan. His subordinates almost always opposed him and he was forced to hand over the military power.
Xiahou Lan already knew that this matter was not that simple. There must be a huge conspiracy in it. However, he was powerless and had to take care of his family. So he simply left the door open and stayed at home.
Soon, Lin San rushed over and faced the home of the commander who was surrounded by soldiers. Lin San was quick to learn, entered through a dog hole, and found Xiahou Lan.
"Are you sent by the prefect?" Xiahou Dun's eyes flashed after learning about Lin San's identity.
"How is the prefect now?" Xiahou Lan asked out loud.
Lin San replied: "The prefect is fine for the time being, the prefect asks me to bring you a message."
Then Lin San general Wang Xiu asked him to tell Xiahou Lan what he said.
"What, they want to attack the lord?" Xiahou Lan was shocked and then furious.
Wang Xiu was worried that Xiahou Lan would be with Geng Bao and others, and he had this concern because he did not know the origin of Xiahou Lan. Xiahou Lan was actually from Zhending, Changshan, and Zhao Yun was a fellow villager. He was able to come to Nanpi to serve as the commander-in-chief. In fact, it was because the General Staff took advantage of Xiahou Lan's identity and asked him to come to Nanpi to serve as the commander-in-chief.
With this alone, Xiahou Lan had no reason to betray Liu Zhe and would not be in sync with Geng Bao and the others.
The reason why Geng Bao left Xiahou Lan's life was because Geng Bao and his team only received support from the upper class, while many soldiers from the lower class obeyed Xiahou Lan. In order to prevent the soldiers from mutiny, Geng Bao and his team could only leave Xiahou Lan's life to stabilize the soldiers.
"Hmph, they're tired of living."
