Under the night sky, the entire Fushan County was quiet.
There was a curfew at night in Fushan County. The citizens were not allowed to go out at night. Hence, when night fell, the entire city was silent. Only a few lights could be seen.
The oil lamps flickered and the torches burned in the prison cells.
In the innermost prison cell.
Yan Three was sitting cross-legged. His eyes were sharp and he had already rested up.
Yan Three was injured in the battle during the day.
Although he had not fully recovered from his injuries, they had been suppressed and he did not feel uncomfortable. He was very awake and was waiting for Yang Cheng to open the door.
Time passed by slowly.
When it was almost midnight, Yang Cheng still had not arrived. Yan Three could not help but feel a little anxious.
At first, Yan Three was very confident.
After all, he and his elites were all locked up in the prison. The other soldiers were the ones who were being held captive. Although there were not many people in the prison, a sudden attack was enough to win.
However, Yang Cheng still had not arrived.
Yan Three was worried that something might have happened. Hence, he stood up and paced around the prison cell.
"Thud! Thud! "
Hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.
When Yan Three heard the footsteps, he instantly became excited. He grabbed the door of the prison cell with both hands and stared at the dark corridor in the prison. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
After a while, Yan Three saw Yang Cheng.
'He's here!'
'He's finally here!'
Yan Three's heart started to beat faster.
Not long after, Yang Cheng came to the door. He bowed and said, "First Master, because I was summoned to the county yamen earlier, Zhou Qing reminded me again and again that I must guard the prison, so I was delayed. Please forgive me, First Master."
Yan Three shook his head and said, "It's fine. It's fine as long as he's here. Yang Cheng, open the door! "
"Yes!"
Yang Cheng took out a bunch of keys and opened the door to Yan Three's prison cell.
Yan Three walked out and grinned. "My chance is finally here. Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, you think you can suppress me. You don't know that you're digging your own grave. "
Yang Cheng said, "First Master, Zhou Qing is incompetent. How can he be compared to you?"
Yan Three said, "Open the door and let our men out."
"Yes!"
Yang Cheng immediately took action.
In less than 15 minutes, the 400 soldiers under Yan Three's command had all returned to their original positions.
Yang Cheng said, "First Master, I know the location of the treasury. After we get out of the county yamen, should we go to the armory first and take the weapons? Then, we can kill our way to the county yamen. "
Yan Three shook his head. "No, we're not going to the treasury."
Yang Cheng said, "Then what should we do? We don't even have the strength to truss up a chicken. It's easy for us to be suppressed!"
Yan Three said coldly, "Our men are all elites. Zhou Qing won't be able to withstand our surprise attack. If he went to the vault first, Zhou Qing would most likely escape once the news was leaked. Therefore, he immediately rushed straight to the county yamen, killed Zhou Qing first, and obtained the county yamen's weapons. Then, he would open the county yamen's treasury. Seize the weapon. "
Yang Cheng said, "First Master is wise!"
Yan Three waved his hand and said, "Yang Cheng, lead the way. We will go straight to the county office."
"Yes!"
Yang Cheng immediately agreed.
The group of people hurried on their way. More than four hundred people were hurrying on their way under the night sky, and their momentum was extremely mighty.
It created a huge commotion.
Therefore, although some of the citizens saw them on the streets, no one dared to step out.
Yan Three led the group and quickly arrived at the county yamen's entrance. He did not say anything. He held the saber that Yang Cheng gave him and knocked on the door.
There were a few weapons in the prison.
The saber in Yan Three's hand was obtained from the prison.
Other than Yan Three, there were about ten other people who had sabers. The rest of them were bare-handed.
There was a series of knocks on the door, followed by an inquiring voice. Soon after, there was a creak as the door opened. The servant of the residence came out, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Who are you looking for?"
"Go to hell!"
Yan Three immediately stabbed the servant with his saber.
"Slash!"
The blade of the saber pierced the servant's body. Just as the servant was about to scream, Yan Three pulled the saber out. Blood splattered everywhere. Before the servant could make a sound, he fell to the ground.
His body twitched a few times before he stopped breathing.
He was already dead.
"Charge in!"
Yan Three was extremely excited as he gave the order. The soldiers and bandits under his command were suppressed during the day. Many of them were massacred by Mordor and were even bombarded by cannons. They had suffered great losses.
All of them felt even more aggrieved.
In particular, everyone was holding their breaths in their hearts.
Now that they had charged into the county yamen, all of them vented their anger. They quickly charged into the county yamen and killed as they pleased. Even though they did not have any weapons, many of the county yamen's men were still injured or killed.
Zhou Qing finally woke up when the bandits were killing each other. He had been resting when he suddenly received a report from his men that Yan Three had broken out of prison and had charged into the county yamen. He was killing as he pleased. Zhou Qing instantly panicked.
'It's over!
Yan Three had charged into the county yamen!
What should I do?
What should I do to escape this calamity? '
Zhou Qing's mind raced. However, when he tried to think, he realized that he was already in a desperate situation. There was no way he could turn the situation around.
"Retreat. Let's retreat from the county yamen."
Zhou Qing quickly put on his clothes. He did not care about the woman on the bed as he charged out. Fortunately, before Zhou Qing left, he did not forget to bring his weapons and the soldiers with him.
Everyone left through the back door.
They intended to escape from the back door.
As long as Zhou Qing could escape from the county yamen, he could seek help from Du Qi even though he was no match for Yan Three.
This was Zhou Qing's plan.
However, even though Zhou Qing had a good plan, it was extremely difficult to execute. Before he could reach the back door with his men, Yan Three's men had already blocked off their path. More and more bandits had surrounded Zhou Qing and his men.
Zhou Qing's path was blocked off.
He was unable to defeat the bandits and escape. He was in an awkward situation.
Zhou Qing looked at Yan Three who was walking towards him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Three, I didn't kill you. Why are you rebelling? I even said that I would give you a chance. Why are you still betraying me? "
Yan Three sneered and said, "Zhou Qing, that's why I said that you're stupid. I'm a bandit. How can I submit to you? Furthermore, you're not worthy. "
"You …"
Zhou Qing immediately frowned.
He looked around and saw that the soldiers under his command all had looks of fear on their faces. This was because the soldiers of Fushan County were all afraid of Yan Three. On the other hand, Yan Three's soldiers were extremely strong.
Zhou Qing knew that he had nowhere to go. It was impossible for him to escape today. Hence, he bowed decisively and said, "Yan Three, I'm willing to surrender. I'm willing to serve you. "
He wanted to preserve his life.
As long as he could preserve his life, it would not be difficult for him to take back Fushan County.
"Hahaha …"
Yan Three could not help but laugh when he heard Zhou Qing begging for mercy.
His laughter was extremely carefree.
His laughter was extremely comfortable.
During the day, Yan Three was still Zhou Qing's prisoner. His life was in Zhou Qing's hands. However, now that the situation had reversed, he was finally able to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.
After Yan Three finished laughing, he said, "Zhou Qing, you're not sincere when you beg for mercy!"
