Chapter Seventy-Six: Lotus's Entrustment
The man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his posture was erect, different from the last time they met, and there was not so much tiredness on his face at the moment, followed by a big man and a petite girl.
The girl is Lian, and the big man is Aiden, so the one in the middle is naturally Fox Scott, the leader of the resistance in Austlin, although he heard that the three of them left Auslin, but he didn't expect to see them here.
Lian noticed the hunting gaze and nodded slightly, the other two had never seen Zhou Lie before, and found an oriental young man staring at him, glanced at him a few times and left.
Anyway, what they do, it has nothing to do with him, Zhou Lie shrugged, and now he himself is still having a headache How to explain his original behavior to Layla.
Two days passed like this, and on the third night, when everyone was asleep, there was a knock on Zhou Lie's door.
When I opened the door, I saw Lian's petite figure, this former court magician, who should have followed his master to do what they wanted to do in this city at this moment, why did he find himself?
"Yo, do you still remember me, but for more than half a year, I and you were accomplices, didn't we? Looking petite and cute, the words he said were indeed old and spicy, Zhou Lie smiled and said.
"Miss Lian, how could I forget, I was able to pick up a life at that time, it was really thanks to you, please come in. Zhou Lie hurriedly put on a smile and invited Lian into the house, and it was not a good thing to be seen by others.
Lian sat down at the table, Zhou Lie quickly closed the door, then poured tea, and asked, "I didn't expect my whereabouts here to be known, I don't know, why is Miss Lian looking for me, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, but when I see you, can't I look for you?" Lian looked at Zhou Lie and said playfully, his eyes were full of teasing, but this had no effect on Zhou Lie at all, looking at the other party's eyes, Zhou Lie smiled bitterly, "Don't joke with me, we only met once, presumably this time I want to return the favor." ”
Putting away her teasing eyes, Lian waved her hand boringly, "That's right, I found that you do have something to ask for, but it seems that you are doing things for the empire now, I just don't know, do you dare to take it." ”
"Haha, as long as it's not a traitor, there's nothing to dare to, but I said in advance, I don't have much time to stay here, if I can do it in a day or two, it's naturally no problem, after a long time, I have to refuse." ”
"Since you said so, I'm relieved. Hearing Zhou Lie's words, Lian smiled and said, "I am most afraid of those who agree to other people's requests in one bite, most of those people are open-mouthed, and in the end, it is still themselves who are pitted." ”
"In that case, I'll hear what the hell is going on. Zhou Lie made a gesture of please.
Lian pulled out a portrait from her sleeve, and on it was a portrait of a man, a middle-aged man, with a black mole under his left eye.
"You want to find this person?" Zhou Lie asked, looking at the person in the painting.
"That's right, and we know his whereabouts, he's in prison in this fortress right now, and he's going to be executed in two days, but we're going to save him. Lian said.
"What are you doing about a death row prisoner, aren't you the resistance of the Portians?" Zhou Lie asked suspiciously, "And this matter is not good for me at all, even if it is a reciprocal affection, this affection is too great." ”
Lian seemed to expect Zhou Lie to say this, leaned back in his chair, and said, "I don't want you to get him out of prison, we will do it ourselves, I just hope that you can provide him with the specific location of his cell and this thing for him." ”
Lotus handed over a jade carved figure, Zhou Lie knew that this portrait, when the church was still there, this portrait was almost one in the hands of almost every missionary.
"It doesn't sound difficult, what's this man's name?"
"Martin. ”
"Good. Zhou Lie nodded, "It's not difficult to be busy, I'll find a way to meet this person early tomorrow morning." ”
Sending the lotus away, Zhou Lie lay on the bed, stroking this little jade man, he did cooperate with the other party once, but why did the other party come to him so reassuringly?
Thinking of this, Zhou Lie couldn't help but smile dumbly, didn't he simply believe in the other party at that time, so he explained his thoughts to them, although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, but what he promised was naturally to do.
Early the next morning, Zhou Lie found Alfred, and told him that he was going to see a prisoner named Martin, this kind of thing naturally can't be told to Randy, but for the man in front of him, Zhou Lie felt that the other party would definitely keep it secret for him and help.
Sure enough, Alfred immediately thought of an idea, in fact, there are many people who go to the prison every day to visit the prison, and there are actually a lot of people who say less, there are always a few people, and those guards are naturally used to it, but if they want not to alarm others, they naturally need internal response, and the intelligence agents in the black street also have such services.
"I didn't expect you to get acquainted with the people here in just a few days. Zhou Lie patted Alfred on the back and said with a smile.
"After all, I'm a thief, and even if I don't find them, they'll find me. Alfred smiled wryly.
This is indeed true.
According to the arrangement of the people in the black street, Zhou Lie went to the prison at noon, and there were people in the black street as guards to show him the way, and when he heard that Zhou Lie was looking for a person named Martin, this Nei Ying was very surprised.
"This guy hasn't been looked for by anyone for a long time, in fact, his family is probably all killed in that war, I didn't expect anyone to come back to visit him, I kind of understand why you came in through me. ”
Zhou Lie smiled and didn't reply, in fact, he didn't know how to reply, he was just entrusted by someone to find the other party.
Martin's cell was a solitary cell, and in the depths of the prison, there were permeating thoughts and wails in every room, and an indescribable stench emanating from it, and if he had been here in the middle of the night, he would have thought he had gone to hell.
After turning around, he finally stabbed the door of the cell at the destination, this cell was obviously different from other cells, the door made of stainless steel, you could feel its heaviness when watching the guards open it, there were no windows in the cell, only a vent above the head, and it was dark inside.
When the door was opened, there was an iron bar, which was used for visitors, so that the prisoners could not leave the prison, and the visitors would not think of entering.
"Unexpectedly, someone else came to me. A muddled sound came from it, then throat clearing and spitting, and then the sound finally became clear and crisp.
A pale and emaciated person appeared in Zhou Lie's field of vision, this person was not at all the same as what he saw in the portrait that day, his body was covered with black stains, and his clothes had long been out of shape, but the black mole under his left eye told Zhou Lie that this was indeed the person he was looking for.
"I don't know you. The man said.
"I don't know you either, but I do know your name is Martin. Zhou Lie said, looking at the other party's expression.
"Martin, oh oh, I do have this name, I've been locked up here for so long, I've almost forgotten what my name is, although you don't know me, but don't think I'm verbose, I haven't seen a living person for a long time, the people here are either guards or crazy prisoners, there is no one who can talk well, if you don't mind, how about talking to me for a while?"
Zhou Lie shook his head, stretched out his hand, and showed the little jade figure in his hand.
"Someone asked me to give this to you, and I brought it to you, and the mission was done, and I wasn't interested in knowing who you were or what they were going to do, but well, if all goes well with them, you'll soon be able to see the living. ”
Seeing the little jade man, Martin completely forgot about the words, just stared blankly, and then there was solemn reverence in his eyes, Zhou Lie looked at the other party, and suddenly felt that this person had become extremely clean, blinked, and looked at it again, it was still the same dirty appearance.
After a while, Martin reached out and took the jade figure into his arms, and then asked, "Who sent you to me?"
"Pie?" Zhou Lie snorted, "I'm just returning the favor and doing me a favor, the person who entrusted me is called Lian, and he is a magician, so I know so much." ”
Martin nodded, and thanked him, "It's enough to know this, thank you for your willingness to come, if we can meet again in the future, if you have any difficulties, I will definitely help you once." ”
"Let's wait until you have a chance to get out alive in the future. Zhou Lie waved his hand, "I also know about the cell, I'll leave, and you'd better forget about what I've been here." ”
"That's nature. ”
Leaving the cell and leaving the castle through the back door, he meets Alfred.
"Done?"
"Well, it's just a personal favor, you're looking for me?"
"No, it's Miss Layla looking for you, and I'm here to squat, and now you go to that barbecue restaurant, you should be able to see her. ”
Hearing that Layla was looking for him, Zhou Lie also thought of what the other party was going to talk about with him, and after thanking him, he hurried to the direction of the barbecue restaurant, although he didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knew that it was the shop that found the Wind Star carving.
Came to the familiar store, Kuwait had not left at the moment, Anne naturally followed her father to help with business, seeing Zhou Lie's arrival, the boss was stunned, and still entertained him as usual.
When Anne saw Zhou Lie coming, she walked forward with a trot knife, pointed to the corner of the small shop and said, "Sister Layla is waiting for you there." ”
"Well, thanks. Zhou Lie touched the little girl's head. Said with a smile.
On the table where Layla was, there were a few plates of simple side dishes, rarely, there was actually a wine jug and two cups, it looked like she was going to drink with Zhou Lie for a while.
"I have something to say to you. Seeing Zhou Lie coming, Layla raised her head, and her eyes seemed to be shining.
"Well, I have something I want to say to you, probably the same as you think. ”
