Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 243 Why Do You Say

Only Zhang Changyou and Li Donglai, free from pressure, continued to argue with Li Xiong.

All three of them drank a lot of alcohol, their tongues were unclear when they spoke, their bodies were swaying, and they couldn't sit still.

In the end, the three of them were so drunk that they fell sideways under the table and fell asleep.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xiong opened his eyes amidst the loud snoring.

He lay quietly on the ground, listening to the other two people snoring loudly.

He climbed up gently.

Before drinking, he had ordered that no one was allowed to come in, no matter what happened.

Li Xiong came to the door and listened carefully, but there was no movement outside.

Then he opened the door, went outside, and closed the door with his backhand.

Two guards stood at the gate of the house, and two lanterns were hung on the gatehouse, emitting a dim red glow.

Li Xiong swayed as he opened the door and waved to the two guards.

"Go out for some fresh air, no need to follow."

He staggered forward as if he were very drunk.

The two guards smiled at each other behind him and paid no more attention.

Li Xiong's figure disappeared into the darkness in a moment.

He hurried to the prison area.

Li Xiong is a powerful senior official in the castle, and almost all the soldiers are related to him.

Either the equipment you need, or the various procedures your family needs to go through.

Therefore, Li Xiong's face is a pass, and everyone who sees him has to put on a smile and call him "sir".

Four soldiers were standing in front of the prison gate, and teams of patrolling soldiers were passing by the gate from time to time.

Li Xiong came to the gate and raised his chin.

"Open the door."

"Master Li, it's so late. What are you doing..."

"eventful."

The soldier who came up to greet him immediately smelled the odor of alcohol.

He quickly waved behind him, signaling for the door to open.

A soldier immediately stepped forward, opened the small door next to the main gate, and invited Li Xiong in with a smile on his face.

Li Xiong didn't even look at them and walked into the door with his arms swinging.

As soon as I entered the prison gate, a figure flashed out from the darkness.

"Hey, Mr. Li, where are you going?"

"Oh, where is Qiao Jun imprisoned?"

The soldier said quickly, "Sir, this is a high-ranking criminal. We need General Lin's permission before we can see him."

"Get lost, Lin Feng is my brother, don't you know that?"

The soldier paused, somewhat at a loss.

"Boy, if you act stupid again, I'll whip you."

"Hey, sir, please come this way. I have something to ask of you."

"Nummy."

The secret guard soldier hurriedly took Li Xiong to a place.

The two men came to an independent stone house and saw two soldiers standing next to the heavy wooden door.

"You two, Lord Li is here to see the prisoner. Please open the door quickly."

The two soldiers on guard looked at each other and hesitated.

Li Xiong's body shook slightly, and he raised his hand and pointed at the prison door.

"I heard this person is tight-lipped. I'm here to see for myself. Open the door."

The two soldiers also smelled alcohol and knew that Li Xiong was a little drunk.

I glanced around and saw that it was very quiet.

Then, a soldier turned around, unlocked the door, and pulled the prison door open with force.

"Sir, please hurry up, this is against the rules."

"Tsk, this rule was established by my brother, what are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, he stepped into the prison door.

The light in the entire prison was very dim, with only a half-dyed candle stuck on the wall in a corner.

Li Xiong walked forward to the gate of the log fence.

"Open."

The doors were open, and the guarding soldier did not hesitate any longer. He stepped forward to open the iron lock and reached out to open the fence door.

Li Xiong staggered into the fence.

After a quick look, he saw Qiao Jun wearing a heavy wooden yoke, leaning against the corner of the wall with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.

"Haha, General Qiao, I heard you're pretty tight-lipped. You're pretty resilient, right?"

As Li Xiong was speaking, he walked up to Qiao Jun, squatted down, and looked at him closely.

When Qiao Jun heard Li Xiong talking, his eyes were already open.

After the two confirmed that they were the real ones, Li Xiong raised his hand to brush away the messy hair that was blocking Qiao Jun's forehead.

"Let me see how tough you are."

The soldier who unlocked the door stood waiting by it.

Li Xiong turned his back to the soldiers and winked at Qiao Jun.

"Speaking honestly will save you from suffering more than you can chew, but you'll have to tell the truth in the end."

While Li Xiong was speaking, he quietly put something into Qiao Jun's hand.

"Why can't you let it go? Once you get in here, don't even think about leaving."

After saying that, he straightened up and supported his waist with his hands.

"Hey, it's so hard to talk to you. Why don't you listen to my advice?"

Turn around and walk out.

"Forget it, this is a person waiting to die, there is no point in saying more."

The soldier saw him walk out of the gate and towards the prison door.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully I didn't stay too long.

These masters are difficult to serve. They have real power and you have to beg them for everything.

Li Xiong walked towards the prison door.

He had calculated that with Qiao Jun's skills, as long as the shackles were opened for him, he would be able to escape.

So, he prepared a key in advance that could open the chain and the lock of the prison door.

The iron locks in this world are all made very crudely, although the keys are different.

But, they are not much different.

Li Xiong can get the key that can open many locks.

Everything went smoothly, and Li Xiong's nervous mood relaxed a little.

As long as you walk out of the prison, everything will depend on God's will.

There are only two outcomes for Qiao Jun once he leaves this prison.

One is to escape from the castle and return to the border army camp.

The other was shot to death by a crossbowman.

Anyway, both results are what Li Xiong wants, and he urgently needs the second result.

It’s all over now, no more trouble.

Li Xiong thought about it, stepped out of the prison door, looked up and looked around.

In the prison yard, the lights seemed brighter than when we came.

There were also a lot more soldiers patrolling.

Li Xiong didn't pay much attention to it. He swayed his body and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

But he had not taken a few steps when a man stood in front of him, blocking his way.

"Don't you have any fucking eyes? How dare you block my way? Get out of here!"

Li Xiong cursed and walked up to the man, raising his hand to pull him away.

Unexpectedly, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

His eyes stared blankly at the person in front of him, and for a moment he was like a clay sculpture, as if even the air had frozen and he couldn't breathe.

Although it was only a moment, it felt as long as a year.

Li Xiong's body gradually became limp and he had no strength left in his legs.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

Tears and snot came out at the same time.

Li Xiong touched the ground with his head and shouted hoarsely with all his strength.

"elder brother..."

Lin Feng had a gloomy face and his hands were behind his back.

Silent.

There were a few people standing around him.

It was Wang Qian and others who were drinking with Li Xiong.

There was dead silence all around, with only the night wind, which made people feel cold all over.

"Li Xiong, I didn't believe it at first. You... really disappoint me."

Li Xiong's mind was blank and he just kept kowtowing.

After just three or two hits, blood appeared on his forehead.

Lin Feng was silent for a while, and saw that Li Xiong had collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I just want to know, why?"

Li Xiong was tired from kowtow and collapsed on the ground, his head and face covered in blood.

"Brother, can I still survive?"

Lin Feng didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"Why, why, why do you say?"

Li Xiong began to mumble.

"I, Li Xiong, am the earliest person to follow you, right? Look at them. The badges they wear are taller than mine, they have more power and higher salaries than me, but none of them have as much experience as me."

He paused, panting.
