Chapter 184: Concealing evil intentions
Dai Yan's gaze fell on the map again, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, "No matter what, I must rescue my sister."
…………
The night is deep and everything is silent.
After receiving the report from Zuo Jue, Dai Yan sent someone to find the map of the Western Suburbs Death Row.
Dai Yan sat quietly at the table, holding the yellowed map tightly in her hand, scanning every route with a focused and sharp gaze.
She knew very well that what she was going to do this time was difficult. It was not easy to find the possible escape routes and safe exits from the Western Suburbs Death Row.
But she couldn't retreat, her sister was waiting for her.
The dim light flickered in Dai Yan's room, casting her shadow on the wall.
As time passed, the scenery outside the window was gradually shrouded by the dawn light, but Dai Yan's room was still brightly lit.
All night long, she hardly stopped for a moment, concentrating on analyzing every detail on the map of the Western Suburbs Death Row.
But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not find any flaws in the Western Suburbs Death Row from this seemingly simple map.
It was as if this death row was an impenetrable fortress, with not a single loophole to be exploited.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto her tired face, Dai Yan slowly put down the map in her hand and sighed.
After a whole night of hard work, all was in vain.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.
Perhaps only by personally exploring the area can one truly understand the specific conditions of the Western Suburbs Death Row and find a feasible plan for a prison break.
She knew that this exploration was full of dangers, but she did not back down.
Dai Yan decided to take a good rest for a day to recharge her energy.
The next night, she changed into a black tights and quietly left Zui Xiang Lou.
With her excellent skills, she successfully avoided all the guards and came to the vicinity of the western suburbs death row.
Dai Yan carefully observed the surrounding environment, looking for a possible entrance.
Just then, she discovered a place with weaker guards. She was delighted and prepared to sneak in from there.
However, just as she approached the place, she suddenly heard footsteps.
She quickly hid in the shadows, held her breath, and waited quietly.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Dai Yan's heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She clenched her fists nervously, ready to deal with any situation that might occur.
Dai Yan pressed herself against the wall, not daring to breathe, until the footsteps gradually faded away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the surroundings quieted down again, Dai Yan continued to move towards the entrance of the death cell.
The closer Dai Yan got to the entrance, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.
Finally, she arrived at the entrance and was about to enter when a deep voice suddenly came from behind her: "Stop!"
Dai Yan was startled and turned around, only to see a dark shadow slowly walking out.
"You again?" The man appeared again, but this time he was also dressed in black.
Dai Yan took a closer look and recognized that the man in front of her was the one she had met in the general's mansion before.
"King Jing?"
She looked at him warily, her hand tightening on the sword at her waist.
"Why are you here?" Dai Yan asked in a low voice.
"Why can't I be here?"
The man asked back, "This Western Suburbs Death Row isn't a place where just anyone can come and go."
The man paused, "I advise you not to act rashly and ruin my plan."
Dai Yan's heart sank, knowing that her actions might have been noticed by this person.
She gritted her teeth secretly and thought about how to deal with it.
The man looked Dai Yan up and down, with a glint of admiration in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so brave that you dared to come to the death row alone."
"But do you think you can save Xiao Sheng like this?"
Dai Yan glared at the man and said with a look of disgust: "I'm not that stupid. I won't come here alone to die."
"Oh?" The man looked around, but still no one was there.
"Isn't it?" the man spoke again.
"Don't bother you with that." When Dai Yan realized that the other party had no ill intentions, she didn't want to pay attention to the man anymore. She prepared to withdraw and continue to investigate.
The man smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry about it."
Dai Yan frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through her mind.
She stared at the man, trying to read more information from his smile.
"What exactly is your purpose? Why do you keep showing up to interrupt my plans?"
There was a hint of doubt in Dai Yan's voice.
The man put away his smile and his expression became serious.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have to leave here now." The man said in a low voice.
Dai Yan bit her lip and looked at the man with firm eyes.
"I can't give up like this. Xiaosheng is still in there, I have to find a way to rescue her."
The man sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"You're only going to make things worse by acting impulsively like this."
The man's eyes were firm, and he continued to speak calmly.
"Trust me, I have a plan."
Dai Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to trust the man once.
Based on the man's actions, she had an inexplicable feeling that this man's attitude towards her was different.
"Well, in that case, I can leave for now. But you have to tell me your plan."
The man nodded and motioned Dai Yan to follow him to the side.
The two of them whispered a few words, then Dai Yan turned and left.
Prince Jing and Dai Yan agreed to come to the Western Suburbs Death Row again in three days, and break into the prison according to the route he gave.
Although she still had many questions in her mind, she decided to follow the man's instructions first.
After all, in this dangerous death row, she needs all the help she can get.
…………
One day later.
The sunlight shines into the house through the window lattices, creating mottled light and shadows.
Zuo Jue has already explained what Dai Yan instructed him to do and came to report.
"Young Madam, after an in-depth investigation, I have basically found out everything about Prince Jing."
Zuo Jue handed a secret report to Dai Yan respectfully with a serious expression, and then stood quietly beside her.
"This King Jing is indeed harboring evil intentions and hidden evil intentions."
Dai Yan nodded slightly, took the secret report, and began to read it page by page.
At the same time, she signaled Zuo Jue to continue his report: "Tell me about it in detail."
Zuo Jue nodded and said, "These are the many shops under King Jing's name. On the surface, their operations are normal and there are no obvious abnormalities."
As he spoke, Zuo Jue gently turned the page of the secret report.
"However, if we go a step further and conduct a detailed investigation of the owners of each shop and the other businesses under their names, we will be able to detect the hidden clues."
Dai Yan's gaze followed Zuo Jue's movements. When she saw the various information listed in the secret report, her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Food, cotton, iron ore... and even a horse farm?"
She read out the above items one by one, pondering in her heart.
After a moment, Dai Yan raised her head, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes: "Just as I expected, it's almost the same as my previous guess."
"It seems that King Jing is secretly hoarding supplies and is plotting something sinister. In my opinion, he is very likely plotting a rebellion."
Zuo Jue said in a firm tone.
"Um."
Dai Yan nodded slightly, her inky black hair swaying gently, and she opened her red lips slightly: "This matter may not be a bad thing for us."
There was a gleam in her beautiful eyes, as if she could see through everything.
Zuo Jue listened quietly to Dai Yan's words, then nodded slowly. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Indeed. If the Northern Kingdom falls into chaos, then we will have an opportunity to march north and attack the Northern Kingdom."
Dai Yan quickly thought about the pros and cons in her mind.
"Perhaps I can use this incident to make a deal with him. After all, only a relationship of interest is more stable."
"Although on the surface he does seem to want to save my sister, no one knows if he has other ideas."
Zuo Jue also felt that this was possible and responded, "Yes, Madam, I'm afraid that they will use the Saint's life to threaten the Ye family army."
"After all, there is still no news of General Ye waking up in the Northern Kingdom, and the commander of the Ye family army is still the young lady."
Dai Yan nodded and said, "Go and prepare. In two days, go with the person who will break the prison. Don't let him do it all by himself."
