Sima De's eyes shone brightly, as if he could see that dazzling brilliance again.
Seeing his intoxicated expression, Li Xuan had to admit that he must be telling the truth, otherwise he would not be able to make such a true expression.
"When you were locked up, why didn't you trade the mineral deposits for your freedom?"
Li Xuan asked.
"They thought I was mentally ill, so how could they believe what I said.
Cao Sen was tempted, but he wanted me to tell him the location of the mine first, and then let me go after he proved it."
Sima De said bitterly.
"Why don't you tell him."
"I have to leave myself a way out. Those guys are not worthy of trust."
When Sima De said this, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Li Xuan discovered that this mentor was far from being as pedantic as he thought. It seemed that several years of prison life had made him smarter.
"In short, if you want to know where the mine is, you have to get me out first, and you have to ensure my safety."
"I can't take care of you forever."
Li Xuan said helplessly.
"You just need to send me to the Southern Tang Kingdom."
Sima De said.
The Southern Tang Dynasty was a neighboring country to the Spring and Autumn Empire, a small human country, and there were also many monks living there.
"make a deal."
Li Xuan thought for a moment and stretched out his fist.
Sima De also extended his fist, and the two touched each other, making a commitment to each other.
"When can you get me out?"
Sima De asked eagerly.
"It depends on what you want. If you want, you can do it now."
Li Xuan didn't care. Let alone him rescuing Sima De, even if he got hundreds more people out, Cao Sen probably wouldn't even dare to fart.
"Tomorrow morning, I still have some things to pack."
Sima De said.
"Then don't bother me. See you tomorrow morning."
Li Xuan stood up as he spoke, greeted Ma Li and Wang Wei, and left together.
Sima De sat on the bed blankly. After a long time, he took a deep breath and began to pack his things silently.
He knew in his heart that getting out of prison was the first step, and the more dangerous journey was behind him.
Not long after Li Xuan and the others left, the iron door of the special cell opened again.
Several kitchen workers came to deliver meals to the prisoners.
The prisoners in the stone cell next to Sima De walked to the window and waited for the arrival of the workers.
The moment he took the dinner plate, he stuffed a small paper ball into the worker's palm.
The two of them exchanged understanding glances and went about their business.
In this way, an important message was delivered outside the prison through the hands of workers.
At midnight, Wang Wei was sleeping soundly.
Li Xuan was alone in the room, swallowing the spiritual power of shadow.
He calculated the time and found that there were still two days until Long Feier took the medicine for the second time.
If the guess was correct, Long Kui should have gone to principal Zou Yan to explain the truth.
From the principal to the city lord, to Meng Feifan and Meng Lan and his son, this layer of pressure is passed down, and no matter what, there will be no movement until tomorrow.
After sending Sima De out early tomorrow morning, we really need to find a safe place for him to temporarily avoid the limelight, so as not to send him into a wolf's den where he won't be able to pick up even a single bone in the end.
Li Xuan thought like this, took back all the shadow spiritual power, and prepared to take a nap.
He had just laid down, and something moved in his heart.
When he left Sima De, he left a small shadow seed on the iron door leading to the special cell.
That gadget is a very weak shadow spiritual power, which can report to him whenever there is any disturbance. It is the best surveillance method that Li Xuan can currently use.
Shadow Seed has just issued a warning, and at least two powerful people have invaded the special cell.
Of course Li Xuan would not just sit idly by and stand up immediately to see what was going on over there.
The two guards at the door of the special cell had passed out. The iron door of the cell was also opened, and the prisoners' grunts could be heard.
Two thin figures blew a stream of light yellow smoke into the cell. After waiting outside for a while, the sound of snoring was no longer heard.
One by one, they rushed into the cell and quietly approached the deepest stone room.
Both of them were wrapped in black clothes, their steps were as light as cat paws with fleshy pads, and they made no sound when they landed.
When they came to the door of Sima De's cell, a man took out a piece of wire and seemed to want to open the lock, but found a hole in the keyhole.
Looking at the traces of solidified iron juice flowing down, you know that someone must have used high temperature to melt the lock head.
The two looked at each other, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.
However, they quietly opened the iron door and entered the cell quietly.
Sima De was lying on the bed undressed and had fallen into a coma.
A cold light flashed in the hands of the two men, with sharp daggers in their hands, and they slowly approached.
One of them raised his dagger high and slashed towards Sima De's neck.
Before the dagger could fall, a spiritual arrow struck like a flying fairy from the sky, piercing a hole in the assassin's chest.
Blood spurted out like arrows, splattering all over the wall.
The other assassin was startled. As soon as he turned around, his neck was grabbed by a strong hand. With just a slight exertion of the hand, the assassin felt difficulty breathing and almost fainted.
"...Don't kill me..." The assassin begged for mercy with difficulty, "I tell you..." Before he could finish his words, Li Xuan squeezed hard with his fingers, and the assassin's throat bone shattered.
He opened his eyes wide and died unwillingly. Until his death, he didn't understand why the other party didn't give him a chance.
Li Xuan threw the body down and sneered: "I don't have to ask you."
He walked to the bed and took a look. Sima De was breathing steadily and was fine. He was just slightly smoke-induced and fell into a coma.
Li Xuan felt relieved and strolled out, heading straight to the cell next door.
The prisoner in the next cell was standing on tiptoes, looking out of the window, waiting for news of success.
When he was feeling uneasy, Li Xuan suddenly appeared at the window like a ghost, which scared his heart almost to a halt.
"You...you..." The prisoner jumped back, clutching his chest in surprise.
Li Xuan reached out and cut open the iron lock of the cell, pushed the door open and walked in.
The prisoner's teeth were chattering and he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"If you tell who is the person behind the scenes, you can save a lot of pain."
Li Xuan said.
"I do not understand what you are saying."
The prisoner said calmly.
"Really don't understand?"
Li Xuan opened his palm, and a ball of fire burned. It was like a will-o'-the-wisp from the underworld in the dark cell, which was extremely terrifying.
"I really don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything."
The prisoner retreated to the wall in horror, and continued to speak harshly.
