Chapter 205 Not only that, I also love you very much.
The sound of firecrackers was heard outside, one louder than the other. Inside the cold cell, Ji Shihan stood in the corner. As he stood up, the chains rattled.
The two jailers guarding him outside looked over, and one of them shouted, "What are you doing? Go back and squat!"
Ji Shihan seemed to have not heard anything. He slowly straightened his collar and combed his slightly messy hair, which made the other jailer sneer at him:
"Isn't he locked up stupid? What's the point of being so particular in this prison? He still thinks he's the Grand Tutor?"
"Perhaps it's the New Year, and the Grand Tutor wants to tidy himself up a bit."
"How clean can it be? Besides, a great Grand Tutor doesn't even have a penny of filial piety. What's the point of being clean?"
"Old man!" the jailer shouted, holding up half a chicken leg. "I heard that Lin Si couldn't find a single copper in your house. You said you were going to die soon, so what's the point of keeping the money?"
"That's right, he doesn't even have any children or family, and he just keeps all that money."
Ji Shihan didn't hear the chattering of the two people at all. He finally managed to dress himself up a little more decently. At least he didn't look as embarrassed as a defeated dog. At most, he looked down and out.
He turned around and faced the two jailers. In the past, these two people didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy at his feet, but now, they were bullying him.
"You incompetent people, I will kill you before I leave this small place!"
His words angered the two men. They stopped eating and drinking, slammed the table and walked over, cursing as they took the keys from their waist. It seemed that a beating was inevitable.
Ji Shihan showed no fear. He stood there motionless with his hands behind his back, watching the two jailers approaching indifferently.
Suddenly, there were one or two noises from the other side of the prison door. The two jailers looked at each other, immediately gave up the idea of opening the door, and looked over there vigilantly.
"Who?!"
No one responded.
They also knew the identity of the prisoner they were guarding, so they quickly drew their knives, and one of them winked at the other, suggesting that he should find a way to report the news first.
However, it was too late. Two darts suddenly flew out from the darkness and directly killed the two jailers who had no martial arts skills.
As the two jailers fell to the ground, Ye Lang turned around the door, went to the corpses, searched for the key, and opened the cell door.
"The Grand Master has suffered these days."
Ji Shihan remained aloof. He held Ye Lang's hand and helped him up. "General, you're busy outside, and it's even harder. Have you dealt with the guards outside?"
Ye Lang nodded. "I took advantage of the guard change to get in. There's chaos outside right now. Grand Master, please change your clothes and leave with me."
As if to confirm his words, a cannon shot suddenly rang out outside, followed by a shout: "Death row prisoner Ji Shihan has escaped from prison! Arrest him immediately!"
Ji Shihan didn't delay, he quickly changed his clothes and followed Ye Lang out of the secret door, rushing away in the opposite direction of the noisy crowd...
——Princess Mansion——
"Your Highness, the officer from the Heavenly Prison has arrived and has something important to report."
Qi Zhaomian had been thinking about Ji Shihan recently, and he usually slept very lightly, so he sat up when he heard the gentle call.
"Just draw the screen and tell others not to come near."
Xiao'er took the instructions and went down. Lin Shanjuan also sat up: "I'll go with you."
Qi Zhaomian nodded and was helped by Lin Shanjuan to put on her clothes. When they walked into the main hall, although she could not see clearly through the screen, Lin Shanjuan was shocked - the man's face was black, and it was not known whether he was blown up or fell into the ash basin. He looked quite embarrassed.
"Your Highness! Someone—someone helped the death row prisoner Ji Shihan escape from prison! Two jailers were killed in the cell, and Ji Shihan is now missing."
The final battle finally officially began at this moment.
Qi Zhaomian was not surprised, but he still had to behave in front of outsiders.
"Has the Emperor known about this?"
"Your Highness, after the incident, I immediately informed His Majesty. His Majesty has already sent people to search everywhere and asked me to come back and explain what happened to Your Highness."
Qi Zhaomian sneered: "Even two people can't keep an eye on it, and you still want to tell everyone about this embarrassing thing?"
The man knelt on the ground and dared not say a word until Qi Zhaomian breathed a sigh of relief: "If you lost the person, go find him. If you can't find him, then there is no need to come back."
The man was shocked, and after receiving the order, he quickly retreated.
Lin Shanjuan helped her up and went back to the room. As they walked, he said, "It seems that Ye Lang has already started to take action. Should we send someone to follow Ye Lang?"
Qi Zhaomian nodded: "Not only Ye Lang, but also the private soldiers on Songyun Mountain need to be kept a close eye on. If there is any movement, we can react in time."
After that, she simply gave Yue Liu the specific instructions for the important task: "Go and inform the others. Place personnel at every exit of Songyun Mountain, with one sentry every ten miles. If those private soldiers make any movement, no matter how big or small, report it daily."
"Put more people around the General's Mansion, especially near the corner gates or the walls in the backyard, to keep a close eye on Ye Lang and every servant and guard in the General's Mansion."
"Yes."
Yue Liu took the order and left, and happened to have returned to Heyang Palace. The two of them lay back on the bed, but Lin Shanjuan was no longer sleepy.
Ji Shihan is now really taking action according to the letter he wrote to Ye Lang. Are the people from the Nanman side also about to sneak into the Junan Pass and take action?
"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Qi Zhaomian turned over, put one hand on Lin Shanjuan's chest, and snuggled up to her tightly.
Lin Shanjuan nodded: "I'm wondering if there are any loopholes."
Qi Zhaomian chuckled softly, caressing Lin Shanjuan's tired face, resting his forehead on her shoulder to comfort her: "Don't worry, they are on the run after all, and many things they can't do openly. Just keep an eye on Ye Lang, and you'll naturally find Ji Shihan's hiding place."
Lin Shanjuan turned over to face her, looked at her calm profile, and couldn't help but give her a light kiss.
"Hmm?" Qi Zhaomian looked over in confusion.
Lin Shanjuan shook his head. "Yeah, I just think you're so smart, so strategic, so calm and wise, so amazing."
Qi Zhaomian laughed. She always heard all kinds of praise about herself from this person. She felt shy at first, but after being praised so much, she gradually got used to it.
Her fingertips stroked Lin Shan's tired brows, her movements extremely gentle. She gazed into her sincere eyes and sighed softly, "But everyone says I'm ambitious and manipulative, but why do you say that it's all good?"
Lin Shanjuan frowned slightly and retorted directly: "If you can't eat grapes, you will say they are sour. I have eaten them and experienced it firsthand, so of course I know you are sweet."
Qi Zhaomian was amused by her: "What kind of metaphor is this?"
Lin Shanjuan lowered his head and kissed her again: "Anyway, I know you are a good person. If people in the world still have misunderstandings about you, I am willing to explain them one by one. At the very least, I hope that most people can understand your good intentions and respect you."
Qi Zhaomian's heart burned hot. She cupped Lin Shanjuan's face with both hands and said, "Idiot... No one dares to disrespect me."
Lin Shan smiled wearily: "That's right, anyway, you are very good, I not only know it, I will also tell everyone about it."
Qi Zhaomian couldn't help but look up and greeted her with a kiss: "You always love to praise me when you talk to me."
Lin Shanjuan pulled up the quilt, and the light outside was completely blocked, leaving only an ambiguous dimness.
"More than that, I love you."
