Chapter 119: The Dungeon
In the Song Forest Pavilion of Huanming Mountain, Li Maicheng, Qi Cangyu, and King Squirrel were eating a sumptuous lunch together.
Li Maicheng said while eating the food: "Brother Qi, do you know that this Cloud City has such a high city wall, and there are so many towers with archers, what are you afraid of?"
Qi Cangyu said: "King Yun is afraid of that peasant rebel army, the rebel army is now stationed in Longxiao Mountain, not far from here, their leader is called Qin Shenghai, he is also the beautiful wife of the family was snatched away by the officials of Yuncheng and then presented to King Yun, and then his former wife entered the palace and became Concubine Lin, and she was also deeply favored by King Yun." ”
Li Maicheng said: "I see, then how many people are there in their peasant rebel army?"
Qi Cangyu said: "There are 10,000 people, but in front of the Yuncheng army, it is an egg hitting a stone." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Then let's go to Longxiao Mountain to meet them." ”
Qi Cangyu said: "Okay, I'll show you the way." ”
At this time, Zhou Xiaotian said: "Senior brother, then the master and they are about to be beheaded in Cloud City, aren't we going to save them?"
Li Maicheng said: "Xiaotian, Senior Brother of the Giant Ape, you two and Brother Qi, the three of you go to Longxiao Mountain to meet Qin Shenghai, while the rest of the people and I pretend to be a caravan to infiltrate Cloud City and go to the execution ground to save Master and them." ”
Zhou Xiaotian said: "Okay, senior brother, just do it." ”
They ate the sumptuous lunch, and when they had eaten their fill, they left the mountain of joy.
Li Maicheng, Wu Shitong, and Lin Yifan pretended to be caravans one by one and went to Cloud City, while Qi Cangyu, Zhou Xiaotian, and the Giant Ape Monster crossed Huanming Mountain and went to Longxiao Mountain.
And in the Cloud City Palace, Zhang Qian, the Koi Monster, and the soldiers of the mission were all imprisoned in the dungeon, and they were transformed into monsters by the Demon Dao people one by one, waiting to be beheaded.
And in that dungeon, next to the cell where Zhang Qian and they were held, there were four monsters, they were frog spirits, tiger spirits, goat spirits and rabbit spirits.
Seeing this, Zhang Qian said to the four monsters: "Brothers, why were you arrested?"
The tiger spirit replied, "Brother, the four of us are actually human beings, monsters turned into monsters by the magic cast by the Demon Protector, and tomorrow we will be taken to the execution ground and beheaded." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Brother, you are so sorry, have you committed something?"
The tiger spirit replied: "Brother, the four of us are ordinary people, and the wife of the family was arrested by the local officials because she was too beautiful and presented to the King of Yun, so we went to the county government to make trouble, and then we were arrested and taken to the dungeon of Cloud City." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Brother, when I listen to you, I feel so pitiful. ”
The tiger spirit said: "Yes, the king of Yun has built a wine pond and meat forest behind this palace city, as well as a gorgeous harem, and there are tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, and all of them are young and beautiful, the country is fragrant, graceful, and captivating, all of which are caught from the people." ”
When Zhang Qian heard this, he said angrily: "This Cloud King is really mediocre, absurd and cruel, isn't there anyone who resists him?"
Tiger Jing replied: "Brother, yes, there is a peasant rebel army outside Yuncheng, but it's a pity that they lack good weapons, and many of them still have hoes, spears, and axes, which are not worth mentioning in front of the Yuncheng army." ”
Zhang Qian sighed: "Hey, those rebels are really pitiful, if there is no one to help, it is estimated that they will be suppressed soon." ”
The tiger spirit nodded and said, "Yes, brother, by the way, more than a dozen of you were also arrested for something?"
Zhang Qian said: "Brother Tiger, you also saw it just now
Now, many of us are also people, and we were also turned into monsters by the magic cast by the demon man, in fact, we are the Han envoy to the Western Regions, I am Zhang Qian. ”
Tiger Spirit said in surprise: "Brother Zhang Qian, you turned out to be the Han envoy to the Western Regions, don't hide it, I used to sell porcelain, I sold a lot of porcelain from the Han Dynasty, your porcelain is really exquisite, like the blue and white porcelain, secret color porcelain, exquisite porcelain, pastel porcelain, celadon, white porcelain, black porcelain, everything is exquisite. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Yes, Brother Tiger, you are right, my Han porcelain is exquisite, deeply loved by the people, and my Han's silk and tea are also very good, the silk clothes are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also delicious, and the tea is particularly delicious, with the effect of prolonging life." ”
Tiger Jing replied: "Yes, Brother Zhang Qian, I have also bought the tea and silk of your big man, and it is indeed very good, by the way, why was your mission arrested?"
Zhang Qian sighed and said: "I have a few apprentices with strong kung fu who were sent by King Yun to Huanming Mountain to subdue the squirrel demon, but my apprentices swore to the death when they arrived at Huanming Mountain, not only did they not subdue those squirrel demons, but they also fought with the soldiers who subdued the demons, and then we were implicated, and we were arrested by King Yun and thrown into this prison." ”
The tiger spirit replied: "Brother Zhang Qian, your apprentices are doing the right thing, the squirrel demon in Huanming Mountain is not harmful, and those soldiers go to encircle and suppress it to destroy the home of those squirrel demons." Brother Zhang Qian, don't worry, those high-ranking disciples of yours will come to Cloud City to save you. ”
Zhang Qian said: "I hope it will, otherwise we will really be cut." ”
They were chatting in the dungeon when a couple of soldiers came to the dungeon, and they opened the cage of the four monsters and took the four of them away.
When the tiger spirit was leaving, he shouted desperately to Zhang Qian: "Brother Zhang Qian, remember to avenge us." ”
Zhang Qian looked at the four brothers who were escorted away, with tears in his eyes, and nodded to the tiger spirit.
And on the outskirts of Cloud City, Li Maicheng, Wu Shitong, and Lin Yifan, disguised as businessmen, gradually came to the outside of Cloud City.
Li Maicheng looked up at the towering city wall, and saw that the city wall was full of soldiers in heavy armor, and there were more than 20 towers 50 meters high outside the city wall, and the high towers were full of archers.
Li Maicheng looked at the strict guards and gasped, and after they were checked, they entered the cloud city one by one.
Walking on the street of Yuncheng, although the market is prosperous, but the ordinary people wear indeed tattered coarse cloth clothes, from time to time there are dignitaries riding high-headed horses in the street market, and there are some poor beggars begging on the street corners.
Li Maicheng passed by a beggar, took out the broken silver on his body, and gave the beggar a piece of broken silver.
Then the beggar kowtowed and thanked Li Maicheng.
Li Maicheng, Lin Yifan, and Wu Shitong walked through the market, and gradually came to a place called Yunlan Inn not far from the Yuncheng Execution Ground to stay.
After they stayed at the Yunlan Inn, Li Maicheng, Lin Yifan, and Bai Ruoxue were ready to go to the execution ground to have a look, while Wu Shitong and Su Chengxuan stayed at the inn and waited for Li Maicheng and them to come back.
Walking out of the Yunlan Inn, Lin Yifan said to Li Maicheng: "Maicheng, there is the execution ground not far ahead, or you two go around first, and I will go over and wait for you alone." ”
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Lin." ”
Then Lin Yifan left and went to the execution ground.
And Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue found a mutton basin shop near here and ate mutton basins.
Li Maicheng whispered while eating the mutton basin
said to Bai Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, let's not go to the heavenly prison in the Cloud City Palace City to have a look." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "But this Cloud City Palace City is heavily guarded, so it's not easy for us to go in, let alone that dungeon." ”
Li Maicheng sighed and said, "Then what to do, if we wait at that execution ground and Master is escorted to another place for execution, we will miss it." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Ruoxue." Then we have to think of a way to blend into the Cloud City Palace. ”
Bai Ruoxue thought for a while and said, "Maicheng, I thought about it, I turned into a bird, and then I turned you into a bird, and then we flew into that palace city, and then found the dungeon, and then saw how the master and them were doing in the dungeon?"
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Ruoxue, this is a good way, just do it." ”
Then after the two of them finished eating the mutton water basin, they left the shop, and in a corner of the street where there was no one, Bai Ruoxue cast a spell to turn Li Maicheng into a sparrow, and she turned into a lark, and then they flew towards the cloud city palace.
The birds they transformed into flew over the streets, into the Cloud City Palace, over the golden palaces, and finally stopped outside the dungeon.
Li Maicheng's transformed sparrow said to Bai Ruoxue's transformed lark: "Ruoxue, I think we have arrived, and now we have to go into the dungeon to see how Master and them are doing." ”
Bai Ruoxue thought for a moment, and then said: "Then the two of us will transform into the appearance of General Wei and General Li, and then go to the dungeon to see the situation." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, this is a clever plan. ”
Then Bai Ruoxue transformed into the appearance of General Li, and cast a spell to transform Li Maicheng into the appearance of General Wei, and then the two of them went around to the door of the dungeon and swaggered into the dungeon.
They passed through the heavily guarded doors of the dungeon and finally reached the deepest part of the dungeon.
I saw that there were all kinds of monsters locked up in the dungeon, and I am afraid that most of them were mortals, and they were turned into monsters by the Demon Protectors.
At this time, General Wei, who Li Maicheng pretended to be, said to the dungeon jailer: "Zhang Qian, where are they being held?"
The jailer looked at General Wei, then pointed to the cage not far in front of him and said, "General Wei, you see that wolf demon is Zhang Qian." ”
General Wei nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go over and take a look." ”
Then the fake General Wei and General Li walked to the cage of the wolf demon pass, only to see several jailers standing by the cage, General Wei looked at the cage, saw the koi monster, and confirmed that it was indeed the master and them who were locked up here.
Then Li Maicheng pretended to be General Wei and said to Zhang Qian: "Zhang Qian, the rest of you are only waiting to die in prison." ”
Zhang Qian scolded: "General Wei, you dog thief, if you kill us people, my eldest apprentice Li Maicheng will definitely not spare you, and he will definitely cut off your head, break your city, and overthrow the rule of King Yun." ”
The fake General Wei immediately smiled and said: "Zhang Qian, your tone is not small, you have been reduced to a prisoner, so don't speak wildly." ”
Zhang Qian said: "General Wei, my eldest apprentice Li Maicheng is very powerful, you still obediently let us go, otherwise, the evil consequences will fall on your head." ”
The fake General Wei smiled: "Haha, just say it, I don't want to argue anymore, I don't want to listen to it, I'm leaving." ”
This is Zhang Qian scolding: "General Wei, you dog thief, you don't have to die well, you despicable villain......"
Zhang Qian cursed, and then the jailer standing outside the cage immediately slammed the cage with a leather whip, and Zhang Qian stopped cursing.
And General Wei and General Li, who Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue pretended to be, left the prison and went out.
