Luo Tianbao had visited the military camp of his senior brother Xiahou Suiliang before, and he was quite impressed at the time. But now he saw that the disciplinary equipment of the Southern Army was superior to that of the former. In just a few years after King Youyun raised his army, he was able to almost share the world with the imperial court.

, there is quite a bit of truth in it.

Soon everyone arrived at the prisoner of war camp. After passing through the layers of sentry posts, everyone came to an open space. There were wooden prison cages everywhere, some were held alone, and some had several people locked in a small cage. It looked like

There are almost the same number of livestock waiting to be slaughtered in the market. You must know that most of these people used to be well-known, and many of them were court officials. Now that they have fallen into this state, Luo Tianbao and others can't help but sigh.

Soon everyone was brought to a wooden cage, with a person "standing" inside. After the guard introduced it, Luo Tianbao and others knew that this was Han Gui. At first, Luo Tianbao felt a little surprised, because he had heard Li Hongdao say that Han Gui refused to accept the sentence.

Sin had been punished a lot, so Luo Tianbao thought that he was either dying or covered in bruises, but now he could actually "stand" upright. It seemed that there was nothing serious. However, when Luo Tianbao came closer and took a closer look, he couldn't help but wonder.

He frowned.

It turned out that Han Gui was not "standing" at all, his feet were obviously hanging in the air. It turned out that the rebels added a pair of shackles to Han Gui outside the wooden cage and handcuffed his head and hands outside the cage. The result was that his entire body was

The feeling of being hung in place is imaginable.

"Uncle!" Liu Qian and Wang Xiong almost didn't scream when they saw this. Thanks to Kalubi and Zhu Xu who caught them in time, they didn't arouse the suspicion of the people around them. Luo Tianbao already knew at this time that Han Gui was not

Their uncle couldn't help but sigh that these two acted really well.

"We have some confidential questions to ask this prisoner. You guys should step aside for a moment." Zhu Xu turned to the guard at the side and said, because he is the chief manager of the Langya Army and a confidant of Emperor Wu Ping, so the other party has no suspicion at all.

, immediately obediently retreated to a distance. At this time, Liu and Wang were able to approach the wooden cage and call out.

"Uncle, please wake up. I am your niece Liu Qian. Our brothers and sisters are here to see you."

Under the calls of Liu Qian and others, Han Gui finally slowly opened his eyes.

"You are from Brother Liu's family..."

"Yes, I am Xiaoqian from your brother-in-law's family. Uncle, don't you recognize me?" Liu Qian was afraid that Han Gui had leaked the information, so she quickly reminded him that Han Gui had been captured for a long time and had suffered a lot, so his reaction was somewhat slow.

, seemed a little unclear about the situation for a moment, but he also realized that the matter was somewhat complicated, so he didn't say much at the moment and just dealt with it vaguely.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me. We can handle these little pawns, but if important officials come later, it will be difficult for us to deal with them." Kalubi said at this time, seemingly unaware of Han Gui and Liu Qian.

the real relationship between them.

Liu Qian, Wang Xiong nodded, and immediately expressed some concern about Han Gui's situation. Luo Tianbao had asked Liu Qian about her background before, and knew that Liu Qian's father Liu Fei was very good friends with Han Gui when he was alive, so now Liu Qian is

His concern should come from the bottom of his heart.

Han Gui chatted for a while and seemed to gradually regain his consciousness: "Children, why are you here? Or are you dressed like this?"

"Uncle, your family has been worried since you were captured, so we came to Xinjing with a huge sum of money to do favors, just to save you from death."

Han Gui sighed after hearing this: "Oh~ why is this necessary? I am the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. I have been favored by the court, so it is natural for me to repay it with death. What's more, how can I let go of the rebels who are inferior to beasts?

Pass me? You are doing this in vain."

"Uncle, don't say that. Now that we have opened up the joints, we may be able to save you from death. I hope you take good care of yourself. Our family may be reunited in the future." Liu Qian said while quietly winking at Han Gui, and then

The reporter seemed to understand something when he saw this, and immediately agreed vaguely.

"By the way, uncle, why are you the only one here? How are you and my father's old acquaintance doing now?" Liu Qian and the others' trip was nominally to visit Han Rail, but in fact they wanted to find out the situation in the prisoner-of-war camp so that they could

In preparation for rescuing everyone in the future, Liu Qian found an excuse to confirm the situation of other prisoners of war.

At this time, Han Gui was somewhat aware of Liu Qian's true intentions, and immediately followed her words and said: "Oh, we are all being held separately now. I refused to plead guilty, so those bastards hanged me up."

Those who suffer here are like Hu Kui and Uncle Hu who serve in the Ministry of War, as well as Ma He and Uncle Ma, who are serving as young eunuchs. They are all locked in a cage. It is not pleasant. They are locked in the northwest. You

Maybe we can pass by when we go out later."

Kalubi and Zhu Xuwen couldn't help but look at each other and thought that Liu Qian's family knew a lot of officials. However, on second thought, since their family had a relative who was a supervisory censor, it seemed that they knew a few famous people.

Not surprising, he wasn't suspicious at the moment.

At this time, Han Gui continued to say: "Actually, we people are okay. Have you seen the high platform in the distance?"

After Han Gui reminded everyone, they noticed that there was a high platform in the center of the prisoner-of-war camp, which was as high as several stories. It was unknown what its purpose was.

"Zhang Jishi, the governor of Jizhou, was imprisoned there. He was so famous that the rebels were afraid that someone would try to rescue him, so they imprisoned him there alone. He was isolated from the world. He also had a violent temper. It was said that he was on a hunger strike these days.

I don’t know how long I can live.”

Han Gui couldn't help but sigh again and again when he said this. Luo Tianbao and others knew that he was talking about Zhang Shaoqing, the governor of Jizhou. This man was a man of upright character and had an excellent official reputation. After King Youyun raised his army, the northern states and counties almost turned their backs. He was the only one.

He and his cousin Zhang Shaolan raised the flag of righteousness to fight against the rebels. For a time, loyal people from the north gathered under his command. Jizhou held on for nearly a year while being surrounded by the rebels. Finally, it fell because of the shortage of food and grass. It was known to the world as

"The lonely loyalist in the north", all the righteous people including Zhuge Bai and others aimed to rescue him. Han Gui seemed to know this, so he pointed out his location to everyone.

Luo Tianbao, Liu Qian and others were reluctant to speak out at the time, so they sighed a few words along with Han Gui's words. Later, Han Gui revealed the situation and location of some captured celebrities to everyone, and everyone secretly remembered it in their hearts to avoid the risk of Kalubi and the others.

Being suspicious, no one dared to talk more. They said a few words and pretended to wipe away their tears before bidding farewell to Han Gui.

As everyone walked out, they paid attention to the locations where the captured celebrities were being held as Han Gui said just now, so that they knew what they were doing. However, as they walked, Luo Tianbao seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked Kalubi and others: "Second,

Manager, I heard that Shi Yan, the deputy general of the Huben Army, was also arrested, is he also being held here?"

"That's right, how about it?"

"It's like this. I've heard about the name of "Eagle Claws" for a long time, but unfortunately I've never met her once. It's rare to come here this time. I wonder if I can meet her?"

"This..." Zhu Xu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Shi Yan's identity was different from that of Han Gui. If he casually brought outsiders to see her, it would be difficult for him and Kalubi to explain to him if his superiors found out. But it was rare for Luo Tianbao to reply to them.
