A voice came back from the barracks: "Wait, let's go now. If we are really caught by you, don't forget to invite us to go to the building to have a good time."
"Definitely, definitely." The guard who replied was the one who advised the one who drew the sword to put it away.
Xu Mu felt a chill in his heart. The iron door that was ajar looked loose and was just a cover. The iron door bars extending horizontally outside were three fingers thick and were arranged in a grid pattern that was half a foot square.
I leaned hard against it, but it didn't move at all.
Just now I was wondering why this cell seemed too small. It turned out that the stone wall was more than two feet thick. The entire cell was specially made. The horizontal iron door on the outside was deeply embedded in the wall. It would definitely be impossible to escape for a while. As for that
Even a lock as big as your head cannot be opened with your bare hands!
All the doubts along the way have been solved until now. No wonder the master swordsman knew that he would enter the cell obediently; no wonder the guards knew that his martial arts skills were far superior to them, but still didn't worry about his escape; no wonder the imprisoned prisoners did not need to be searched!
This was completely a trap! I just ran into it without warning! The only good news is that the other party hasn't caught the person they want to catch yet. He Qizhou shouldn't be in there. There is no window in the small cell. How will he escape later?
Woolen cloth?
"He is wearing a long green gown and is thin. This response is unmistakable!" The leading guard said as he walked towards the barracks. Xu Mu looked out from the iron gate, his heart gradually sinking to the bottom.
Seeing two people striding towards the barracks, one was a middle-aged man in general uniform, and the other was Helian Changji! Xu Mu turned around and walked to the foot of the cell, sitting with his back to the cell door, hoping that Helian
Changji will not recognize himself.
"Is he this person?" It was the general who asked.
"It definitely doesn't look like that from the back," Helian Changji said, but there was no trace of disappointment in his tone.
"Ah——" The guard sighed in disappointment.
"But it's not bad to catch this person, haha. The reward will be halved. Go back and keep an eye on the person who comes to question you!" Helian Changji said with a smile.
"Okay! Okay! Thank you, young prince, for your gift." The guard was overjoyed and hurriedly led the other three people to the inner city.
"Master Mulati, his name is Xu Mu, and he is also my enemy. I bought this person for fifty thousand taels. As long as I catch the other one, the promise of one hundred thousand taels remains unchanged." Helian Changji was very interested.
He looked at Xu Mu's back.
"Why am I only worth half the price?" Xu Mu turned around and walked to the gate and said angrily.
"Do you know Huazhen Kung Fu? Can you master the Seven Swords?" Helian Changji took two steps back and asked with a smile.
"Lord Laheti, as long as you let me go, I can find a way to give you one hundred thousand taels. It's too bullying to give you half the price." Xu Mu said to the general.
"Do you want to wait three to five years for you to raise funds? Sir, this man has excellent swordsmanship and lightness skills. We must first find a way to subdue him and free up this cell." Helian Changji advised.
"Do you want to live?" Mulati Sensen asked.
"The living are more useful than the dead." Helian Changji already had a plan in mind.
Mulati was about to give an order when suddenly a soldier came in and reported that someone wanted to see him.
Mulati said angrily: "Don't you see I'm busy?"
"Sir, Ye Xiao said the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed."
"Then let her get in!" Mulati said impatiently.
When Xu Mu heard the name "Ye Xiao", two words came to his mind - it's over! Now there is no chance to convince Mulati!
"Sir! He, he, he slept with me without paying me, and even burned half the barn of hay!" As soon as the night owl, who had a swollen head like a pig, came in, he found Helian Changji standing next to Mulati.
"You like to sleep in vain wherever you go!" Mulati looked at Helian Changji teasingly. In order to prevent others from seeing the flaw, Helian Changji actually robbed Qingluo's belongings.
"It's not free of charge to send them to my door. It would be polite not to kill them." Helian Changji said.
Mulati ignored Ye Xiao and continued to say to Helian: "How can you be so kind? If you don't kill her, you just want to use them to deal with the people who are chasing you."
"General, you really have an insight into people's hearts." Helian Changji flattered him at the right moment.
Mulati said to Ye Xiao: "Did you hear that? I've spared your dog's life. If you eat the young grass, you won't suffer much. Just go back if you have nothing to do."
"Something happened, something happened!" Ye Xiao said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Mulati was already a little impatient.
"Sir, let her talk. She should have met the person I want to arrest." Helian Changji advised.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Mulat said.
"He, after he left, two more people came one after another, and one of them beat up the four of us. I couldn't bear it, but the one who came last night not only beat us, but also robbed us of all our money.
Even his share of honoring you has been robbed. I guess he will definitely spend the night here tonight, and we must not let him go!" Ye Xiao burst into tears.
"See if it's the one inside?" Helian Changji pointed to the cell where Xu Mu was imprisoned.
Xu Mu said angrily: "Don't look, I was the one who robbed it! I still have the money, if you have the ability, open the door and get it."
"I advise you to throw away the money as soon as possible." Mulati said through gritted teeth.
"I thought the city of Burgen could be moral. It didn't let others rob it, but it blatantly deceived, kidnapped, and extorted. Damn! I've become a bitch and want to build a memorial arch. What did I say? I heard that you are Wusundi
A master, do you dare to challenge me in a duel?" Xu Mu said contemptuously.
"You are looking for death! Someone, open the door!" Mulati said angrily. The rules of this city have always been the basis for him to stand here. How can he allow others to criticize him?
An officer immediately ran out of the military camp on the south side, holding a long bunch of keys in his hand and rushed to the cell where Xu Mu was. He was stopped by Helian Changji: "Sir, don't be fooled by him, although he is definitely not
Your opponent, but you have to be careful about him running away. He is the second best in martial arts in Nan Qi and is best at Emei Qinggong. If she runs away, the fifty thousand taels will be gone. If the one with the hundred thousand taels is notified again,
Wouldn't it be a big loss?" Helian Changji advised.
"Hey, why do I still have fifty thousand taels? What's the point? If you don't dare to fight me, at least make him pay one hundred thousand taels!" Xu Muguai shouted.
Mulati seemed to be frightened by what Helian Changji said. The loss of 150,000 taels was not a small amount: "How can you change the cell without opening the cell door? Shoot him in the foot?"
"Catch him after two days of thirst. That man named He Qizhou will definitely not leave if he knows I am still in the city. Can you ask your protector to help?" Helian Changji asked.
"As long as there is wine." Mulati nodded.
"Will you risk your life?" Helian Changji wanted to confirm again.
"I'm willing to give it up. That guy is a man of his word. The ten years haven't come yet, so you can rest assured."
"Then it's settled. That guy He Qizhou is very smart. He's going to fall for this trick in the cell. Please spread the word and say that we caught Xu Mu. As soon as we find him, we'll hit him hard!" He
Company Commander Ji Dao.
Mulati said: "Okay. I'll go back first. You continue to wait here?"
Helian Changji said: "How about we go to Xiaoyao Tower to play a few games? If anything happens, as soon as you open your mouth, the swordsman will definitely take action. I guess he should also appear."
"Are you always so cautious? Come here, send two hundred people to keep an eye on this place at all times! You can't let a fly go! Sixth Prince, let's go then."
"If someone robs the prison, they must be captured alive." Helian emphasized.
"Did you hear that? Catch him alive." Mulat said.
"Lord City Lord, please." He Changlianji's face blossomed into a smile...
Seeing the two of them walking away, Xu Mu's movement skills broke the ropes binding his hands. He first approached the cell door and observed it carefully. He couldn't help but pull the iron bars, but it didn't seem to be open at all; he tried the movement skills again.
He pushed against the surrounding walls, and even tried several times at the roof and the iron door, but all failed. The cell was more solid than he thought.
Due to the loud noise, people in the cells on both sides shouted: "Stop bumping! It's useless!" "It's so noisy!" "Our place is going to collapse!"...
"I want to drink water! I want to eat! I want to go to the toilet!" Xu Mu shouted, hoping to attract the guards over.
"Stop yelling, I'll give you food in two days. If you want to go to the toilet, there is a stone trough under the north wall! In order to clean this cell, I flushed the water more than ten times!" There were soldiers in the military camp more than ten feet away.
He replied, no one came out.
"If you don't come here, I'm going to hit the wall and kill myself!" Xu Mu said anxiously. Seeing no one responded, he hit the wall with his head. After a "bang" sound, there was no more sound in the cell.
"You live or die, no one will come near your cell for two days." The lights in the barracks flashed, and there seemed to be four or five people under the window who were drinking and gambling.
"Hey, I have some silver and a lot of gold coins around. Can you buy some water?" Xu Mu pretended to be dead and only filled half a stick of incense before thinking of another way.
"Ding ding ding..." Xu Mu hit the iron fence with a gold coin, making a crisp sound. This was his last resort. If he could attract the man with the key, he might still have a chance to survive.
"It's useless. With so many pairs of eyes staring at you, no one dares to take money from you." Someone in the barracks sighed.
"You can share it equally, or the one who gets the money can treat everyone to a drink. Is it so difficult to pour me a glass of water?" Xu Mu felt his eyes darken as he made a last attempt.
Suddenly, someone from the westernmost cell came up with an idea: "If you have more money, knock louder and harder. Who will have trouble with the money?"
"Ah -" Xu Mu screamed, the person who spoke was none other than He Qizhou! Suddenly he realized that he had never felt that He Qizhou's voice was so beautiful. It turned out that the guy was already locked up here, but He Qizhou
Lien Changji just didn't notice it.
"What's the point of screaming? How about you lend me some money and redeem me first." He Qizhou continued.
"Lend me, lend me, I only have to pay back six thousand taels."
"I only owe five thousand taels! As long as you let me out, I will act like a horse for you."
"I only need three thousand taels, please lend me..."
