Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 237 Prison Break
Daji subconsciously squatted down and put her hands on her head.

"Xiao Daji, are you okay?"

Su Jiahe pulled Daji inside, trying to keep her away from the whip's attack range. Because the cell was small, everyone was squeezed to the foot of the wall at once.

"The case hasn't been investigated yet, how can you beat people at will?" Liu Zhun stood in front and said defiantly.

"Corn kernels? What corn kernels?" The jailer ignored Liu Zhun's protest, put down his whip, and continued to examine the corn kernels.

After all, he had never smelled such an aroma and wanted to taste the delicacy himself.

"Corn kernels are the yellow, grainy things on top." Daji shouted to the jailer.

"Hmph, if you dare to lie to me again, I'll make sure your skin is torn to pieces."

The jailer rolled his eyes, picked up a few kernels of corn, looked at them, put them into his mouth doubtfully, and chewed them for a few times.

Although the corn was cold, it still tasted sweet and soft, and with the added flavor of cumin powder, the jailer was immediately struck by its deliciousness.

"I didn't realize you spies eat so well." The jailer took the remaining half of the roasted corn and ate it clean in a few bites, and also ate the corn husks that remained on it.

"Have you hidden any good stuff? Hand it over quickly!" The jailer, who had finished chewing the corn, was still not satisfied and knocked on the copper lock on the door again.

"We have more. I'll give it to you right away." Su Jiahe turned around and took out a few corns and a few bottles of seasoning from the storage ring.

"Sister Su, he's extorting us. If we keep giving in, it'll be a bottomless pit. What will we do if they take everything from us?" Liu Zhun whispered in Su Jiahe's ear.

"It's okay. I have a lot of things with me, so this little bit won't make a difference." Su Jiahe said, and handed the corn to the jailer with a smile.

"These are raw. They need to be roasted over the fire. After roasting, sprinkle these seasonings on them and you can eat them. You have worked hard on guard duty. Tell the brothers to come and eat together."

The jailer took the corn and called other colleagues to start roasting it over a fire in the cell. Soon, the aroma filled the entire cell.

"Sister Su, why are you so nice to them? I know what kind of people they are. Even if you give them mountains of gold and silver, they will only treat you as a fat sheep and will not treat you well." Liu Ziran looked at the jailers who were having dinner together and felt a little dissatisfied.

"You don't understand. Sister Su has a way to take us out." Yingying patted Liu Ziluan, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

After the corn was roasted, several jailers sprinkled salt, cumin, pepper and other seasonings on it, and the aroma of barbecue became stronger.

"Where did these spies get these things? They can't be poisonous, right?" A jailer was a little suspicious.

"No, no, I just ate. It's a rare treat to come across such delicious food, so let's not worry about it."

Although barbecue appeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it lacked seasoning and tasted far inferior to modern times. Furthermore, without the technology to purify fine salt, people only ate coarse salt, which was bitter and salty. Even ordinary roasted corn was a great temptation for them.

While the jailers were roasting corn, Su Jiahe secretly took out a bottle of white wine from the space and opened the lid. Soon, the aroma of wine filled the entire dungeon.

"Hey, you spies, you have some good wine."

As expected, the jailers quickly asked for the liquor. They enjoyed the wine and ate corn, completely forgetting that they were on duty.

The jailers had never drunk strong liquor before, so after just two sips, they were all drowsy and drowsy. The jailer who had just raised his whip to hit someone was now completely collapsed on the ground, still holding an unfinished corn cob in his hand.

Seeing that all the jailers were knocked down, Su Jiahe raised the hand with the ring on it and shook it in front of the copper lock on the gate, and the copper lock was put into the ring.

"Jiahe, this ring can be used like this?" Wang Mang exclaimed in surprise. "Shh, don't make a sound, let's get out of here quickly."

The group changed into jailer's clothes, stole the key, and opened the dungeon door.

"There should be a lot of guards in the palace. Even if we escape from the dungeon, how can we escape from the palace?" He Shuangqing said worriedly.

“Don’t be afraid. I observed the area on the way here. The palace isn’t very big, and the dungeon is located in the backyard of the palace, where there are fewer people. We should have a chance.” Liu Zhun was the first to walk out of the dungeon gate, cautiously looking around to make sure no one was guarding it before calling the others out.

After walking out of the dungeon, they saw the palace wall not far away. The palace wall was not high, only about two meters high.

"While no one's around, we can climb over there," Liu Zhun said, pointing to the palace wall.

"No, no, if we run away, what will happen to Jiang Taigong?" Liu Ziluan shook his head.

"Let's get out of here first, then figure out how to save Jiang Taigong. We can't even save ourselves, how can we save others?" Liu Zhun said, then pulled Liu Zilan and Liu Zixun toward the palace wall, then squatted down and let the two of them step on his back to climb over.

With the help of each other, they finally climbed over the palace wall, found a secluded place, and sat down to discuss countermeasures.

"How can we save Jiang Taigong now?" The youngest Liu Ziran stamped his feet anxiously.

"How about we sneak into the palace at night and secretly bring Jiang Taigong out?" Liu Zixun said.

“There’s no way we can deal with the palace guards. Even if we’re lucky enough to avoid them, do you know where Jiang Ziya is?” Liu Zhun immediately rejected the plan.

"Yes, we can't force our way in," Wang Mang said. "In my opinion, the most important thing right now is to clear up the misunderstanding and convince King Wu of Zhou that we are time travelers, not spies."

"Actually, this is easy to handle. It's all because of me that you were all treated as spies. The worst that can happen is that I will surrender myself now and take all the blame on myself." Daji suddenly stood up with a righteous look on her face.

"Don't be impulsive," He Shuangqing held Daji back, "Since we're together, we're definitely both involved. There's no point in sacrificing you."

"Alas, I didn't expect Jiang Taigong to be so honest. He directly told King Wu of Zhou that we are time travelers. He still underestimated the suspicion of a king." Wang Mang let out a long sigh.

"Yeah, most people don't believe in time travel unless... they travel through time themselves," said Su Jiahe.

"Yes, let's find a way to meet King Wu of Zhou and take him back in time, then he will believe us." Yingying agreed.

Meanwhile, in King Wu's side hall, Jiang Taigong knelt on a mat, with two guards holding bronze halberds standing behind him. King Wu sat at the other end of the mat, his expression very serious.

"Ziya, you assisted the late king and rendered great service to Xiqi. I trust you most. Tell me the truth about the origins of those people."

"Your Majesty, I have indeed traveled to the afterlife, and they are also people from the afterlife. I beg Your Majesty to release them." Jiang Ziya repeated what he had said several times.

"But someone told me that one of the women was Daji, the concubine of the King of Shang. How do you explain this?"

"That woman is indeed Daji, but she is another Daji. She also came from the future..."

Jiang Ziya spoke for a long time, and King Wu of Zhou looked confused.

"This is truly bizarre. Well, bring them here and I will interrogate them myself."

At this time, a jailer stumbled into the side hall and knelt down in panic and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We failed to keep watch and let the spies escape!"
