The first time in history

At midnight, the night was as dark as ink, so dark that it seemed to swallow everything. In the shadows at the entrance of the "Jing'an Prison", Qian Mingduo and Miss Tian and the others had already met. Several groups of people were quietly lying in wait. They all had their faces covered and were dressed in black night clothes, blending perfectly with the night.

The night was as dark as ink, covering the earth. Under the deep night, Jing'an Prison was like a silent giant beast. It seemed to blend into the night, exuding a terrifying majesty and mystery.

The tall grey stone wall loomed in the darkness, like an insurmountable barrier. On the stone wall, there was a dim oil lamp swaying in the wind at intervals, the weak light barely illuminating a small area around it, but it added a bit of gloom.

There were some mysterious patterns carved on the tightly closed black door, like ancient runes, emitting a faint light.

On both sides of the gate stood two huge torches, the blazing flames dancing in the night wind, casting flickering light and shadows. In the light of the fire, several fully armed jailers could be seen patrolling back and forth, their figures flickering in the firelight, their vigilant eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

Jing'an Prison is located deep inside the imperial palace and is under the jurisdiction of the Jing'an Division directly under the palace. The walls are tall and thick, surrounded by high walls and deep trenches, and only a narrow stone bridge connects it to the outside world.

This prison is feared for its heavy security and mystery. It is where the court uses to imprison criminals who are considered to pose a serious threat to the country.

Most of the prisoners here are people of prominent status, such as royal family members who are trying to rebel, generals with heavy troops, or important officials in the court who hold state secrets. These people are considered dangerous because of their behavior or identity, and are imprisoned here awaiting trial or execution.

Due to the special nature of Jing'an Prison, it has become a place full of mystery. People know very little about what is going on inside, except that once you enter, it is difficult to get out.

Xi Shi used her beauty and wisdom and, after unremitting efforts, finally found out the details of Jing'an Prison.

Qian Mingduo tilted his head slightly and said to Miss Tian in a low voice: "Miss Tian, ​​you must be extremely careful in today's matter. Success or failure depends on this." Miss Tian's eyes were firm and she nodded slightly. The worry and longing for her father in her heart intertwined into a burning flame.

According to the plan, the first group of people started to move. They were agile and moved quickly in the other direction of the prison like ghosts.

However, an accident happened suddenly. One of them accidentally kicked a stone hidden in the grass, and the sound of the stone rolling down was particularly loud in the quiet night.

The jailers immediately became alert. "Who is it?" an angry shout broke the silence of the night. Several jailers holding lanterns hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound. But they were not completely led away, and some jailers still stood guard at the prison gate.

Here, Qian Mingduo and Miss Tian were watching the guards' movements nervously. Seeing the change in the situation, Qian Mingduo frowned and his brain was working rapidly. He whispered to Miss Tian, ​​"We must change the plan." Miss Tian looked at him anxiously, waiting for his instructions.

Qian Mingduo decided to lead a small team personally to make a bigger noise and attract the attention of the jailers.

He took a few people and quietly went around to the other side of the prison, found some objects that could make noises, and deliberately created chaos.

The jailers heard more noises and began to hesitate, not knowing which direction to go. Qian Mingduo took the opportunity to shout, "Someone is robbing the prison over here!" The jailers were finally completely attracted.

At this time, the second group of people quickly rushed to the prison gate. With tools in their hands, they skillfully pried open the door lock. The door hinge made a slight "creaking" sound, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

Everyone was nervous, fearing that they would be discovered by the jailer. At this moment, a night cat suddenly jumped out from the side, scaring everyone so much that they almost screamed.

After entering the prison, there was a damp and decayed smell. They moved forward cautiously, identifying the road with the faint moonlight. Miss Tian's heart was pounding. She was nervous and expectant, eager to find her father as soon as possible.

They walked through the narrow passage, keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, a jailer came out from the next room.

Everyone was startled, but fortunately they reacted quickly and hid in the shadows immediately. The jailer seemed to have noticed something, so he stopped and looked around. The lantern in his hand swung back and forth, and the light and shadow swayed on the wall, as if it could illuminate their hiding place at any time.

The jailer stood there for a long time without leaving, as if time had stood still. Miss Tian was so nervous that she dared not breathe, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

They waited until the jailer left and continued to move forward. Finally, they found the cell where Mr. Tian was imprisoned.

But at the door of the old room where Mr. Tian was imprisoned, there was a shabby table. A jailer was sleeping on it. Everyone was suddenly in trouble. Time was running out and the jailer might come back at any time.

Just when they were extremely anxious, Qian Mingduo quietly walked behind the jailer and raised his palm like a scene in a movie or TV series. He was not sure if this would work, so he hesitated for a moment, but finally chopped the jailer's neck with all his strength.

The jailer groaned, and his body slowly slid down like mud. Qian Mingduo looked at the fallen jailer nervously. He squatted down anxiously and shook the jailer's head gently. After making sure that the jailer was unconscious, he took a bunch of keys from the jailer's belt.

Qian Mingduo quickly came to the cell door and nervously compared the keyhole. Finally, he picked out a key that he thought was a match.

With a click, the door unlocked.

Miss Tian rushed to her father excitedly: "Dad, it's me, we are here to save you." The extremely weak Old Man Tian looked at them in surprise, his eyes full of surprise and excitement.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long," Qian Mingduo said quietly.

However, just as they were about to leave, the guards shouted in the distance. Apparently, they had discovered something unusual. Qian Mingduo's face darkened and he said, "Go!"

They supported Mr. Tian and quickly ran towards the exit. At this time, the jailers had discovered their whereabouts and chased after them. The third group of people were waiting outside. When they saw them coming out, they immediately went to meet them. While resisting the chasing jailers, they escorted Mr. Tian to evacuate.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the darkness. The sound of swords clashing echoed in the night sky, and sparks flew everywhere. Although Qian Mingduo did not know martial arts, he relied on his wisdom to command everyone to resist.

He observed the actions of the jailers, looking for their weaknesses. When he found that the jailers' formation was a little chaotic, he immediately ordered everyone to concentrate their forces to attack one point, successfully breaking through the jailers' defense line.

The two brothers in the third group volunteered to cover the rear. They roared, rushed into the jailers, and hacked and killed them frantically.

The jailers were outnumbered and gradually gained the upper hand. After a few screams, the two brothers fell in a pool of blood.

Just as everyone saw the torch in the jailer's hand getting closer, Qian Mingduo suddenly found a small path next to him. He had an idea and shouted, "This way!" Everyone immediately rushed towards the path.

The path was narrow and rugged, and the jailers had a hard time catching up. They ran wildly in the dark, with only one thought in mind, which was to escape from this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

Finally, they successfully escaped the jailer's pursuit and disappeared into the night.
