Chapter 727: A Bitter Meat Strategy
After many days of continuous marching, the main force of the demon army stopped at the end of the underground fortifications in this area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info still gave the order to go and find out the itinerary of the rest of the army.
Ah Kun came to the camp where the Demon Venerable was resting, and whispered a word in his ear.
Still Shu looked startled and asked, "But really?" ā
"The news intercepted by the proprietress ". Ah Kun nodded affirmatively.
"Where's the detention?" Still asking again.
Ah Kun replied in a low voice, and still told him a few words secretly, and Ah Kun went out of the tent to wait.
ā¦ā¦
Next to the big tent where the Shadow Division was resting, there was a well-guarded tent, still walking outside the tent of the Shadow Division, he had just come out of it, and the Shadow Master was not in the tent where he was resting.
The guards returned, and the national teacher went out alone and did not come back.
Still Shu glanced at the two tents next to him, did not speak, and turned back to his tent.
In the tent next to the camp of the Shadow Army, the Shadow Army Division lifted a large box, and trapped a damp and smelly man inside, his hair was scattered, his robe was shabby, his face hung down behind the messy hair, his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was gagged, and he looked dying.
"Don't play dead!" The Shadow Master swung a long sword and used the scabbard to straighten the face of the man in the box.
After opening the box, a sour smell came out, and seeing the dirty and stench of this man, the Shadow Strategist was reluctant to even touch his face with his hands.
The person in the box slowly opened his eyes, it was Duan Liu.
The eyes he opened were first a hint of horror, then understandable helplessness and disdain.
"I didn't expect you to come back to me?" The Shadow Military Division suddenly stretched out his hand and quickly pulled the cloth ball from Duan Liu's mouth.
Duan Liu was shaken by his swift movements and began to cough.
He suppressed his cough and stared at the Shadow Master and asked, "Why didn't you let me see her?!" ā
"Who?" The Shadow Master sat in front of the box, looking at Duan Liu quietly, as if admiring a clown's struggle.
"Of course you know who it is! Yingling Yinghou Mingsa! Duan Liu spoke fiercely.
"Every time I have the possibility to meet her, you can't help but say something, and immediately order me to leave, in order not to let me see her, do you still want to deny it? Now that I'm dying, is there any point in hiding it from me? ā
Seeing that the Shadow Master didn't answer, Duan Liu continued. Although his voice was weak and hoarse, it was full of persecution.
The Shadow Master just looked at him, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, "Aren't you still dead?" He said grimly.
"It's also in your mind whether you die or not, you don't let me die and drag me away, and continue to let me take medicine and hang myself, just because I'm worried that heavy weapons will use me." Duan Liu has always been clear and direct.
"It is worthy of Duan Liu, the lord of Yunling, and when he is about to die, he can still speak angrily." Said the Shadow Master.
"Why don't you let me see her?" Duan Liu continued to ask.
The Shadow Master didn't answer, just laughed quietly.
"How much do you know about me and Qingzhi back then?!" Duan Liu's heart twitched, and he continued to ask according to the inference in his heart.
The Shadow Master still shouldn't, he paused and said, "You tell me the truth first, you have escaped from my hands for so long, and you can see that Minsa?" ā
Duan Liu snorted coldly and said, "You won't believe what I say." ā
"You haven't said it yet."
"I said I didn't see you, would you believe it?" Duan Liu asked rhetorically: "I said I saw it, what can you do?" ā
"You think I can't do anything about you?" The Shadow Master is ruthless.
Duan Liu snorted coldly and didn't respond.
The Shadow Master paused, then gagged Duan Liu's mouth hard, then locked the box, and said angrily: "Since you don't want to speak, just wait for death here!" ā
After saying that, the Shadow Army Master went out of the tent and ordered the guards guarding it: "Remember to feed him medicine every three hours!" ā
ā¦ā¦
After another two days, Duan Liu was stuffy in the dark box, only relying on a few dark holes to breathe, he curled up in the box, the already blocked breathing became more and more difficult, this time he was deliberately caught back, he knew the danger and difficulties in his heart, fortunately he was ready to die, otherwise it would be difficult to endure this suffocating suffering.
Suddenly, in a muffled cough, Duan Liu heard what seemed to be an argument outside the tent door.
His expression was highly concentrated, and he was about to suppress his cough, holding his breath and concentrating to listen to the movement outside the tent, but before he could hear the reason, he only felt a strong light split, and his whole body shook violently with the box, and his head hit the top of the box, and then the box was shaken open by a huge force, and the box was shattered and he rolled out with the debris.
Duan Liu coughed violently, his chest rose and fell violently, but his mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, which made him worse than dead, and he tried to control his mind and see the person in front of him clearly after his sweaty mess.
Again!
"Demon Venerable, you can't..." still Shu rushed into two guards behind him, obviously injured by still Shu and the others, but still struggled to run in to stop him.
Still Shu turned around to look, and before he could react, several guards rushed in from behind the curtain and dragged the two guards who had just tried to stop them.
Duan Liu saw this series of movements in his eyes, and only then did he still describe that sharp gaze, which was similar to when he was young and trained.
Still Shu approached, waved all the guards back, and then stepped forward to tear the cloth ball from Duan Liu's mouth, and said, "Sure enough, it's you..."
"Master."
Removing the cloth ball, Duan Liu could finally cough completely.
He coughed for a while and said, "He allowed you to come and see me?" ā
Still Shu shook his head slightly: "He personally took people to the territory of the Imperial City of Yunling to inquire about the news of the Spirit Tree." ā
Duan Liu nodded in understanding, and asked again, "Are you now...?" He looked intently at what he was still saying, and he didn't know how to say a thousand words.
"Master, have you entered the Imperial City of Wanling?" Still asking again.
Duan Liu looked at his sincere eyes, and his thoughts were surging for a while, this apprentice who was once valued by him, he couldn't fully believe him at this moment.
Who knows if the quarrels and fights of the parties are their bitter ploy? In order to learn the truth from Duan Liu's mouth?
Duan Liu shook his head and said, "I didn't go in, I just asked Mingsa's identity." ā
Still Shu's eyelids jumped, staring at Duan Liu, this answer always felt unreal.
"Okay, whether you enter the Imperial City of Wanling or not, whether you have seen Minsa or not, I need your cooperation now." Again, turn to say.
Duan Liu raised his eyes and looked at him with some incredulity, was his obedience to the Shadow Military Master really fake? Should I trust him?
Under Duan Liu's scrutiny, he continued: "Presumably you have some doubts about what happened to Minsa and you, as well as Qingzhi, I have heard Mingsa say it a long time ago, she suspects that the Ghost Face Military Master is the person she is looking for, whether you have the intention to hide it or not, it is better not to believe me, since you caused an explosion to injure the Shadow Military Master and escaped, you can no longer stand on the same side as him, you must ally with me." ā
