Yue Ming checked all the soldiers who protected the ancient hall, and all the answers he got were uniform, except for An Lengyao, no one entered the ancient hall last night, and An Lengyao was the last to leave.

So far, there has not been a single thing that he has not been able to figure out until now. Aside from the grease stains and magic oil on the walls, there was really no evidence of any more information about the oil spiller. Originally, he had always been suspicious of Lin Chumo, but now every soldier told him categorically that person had not entered the ancient hall, and it did not seem to be false.

Yue Ming touched his temples and saw through the window that it was dark, and he decided to go to the dungeon.

The cells of the Demon Realm are the most heavily guarded places, and ordinary nobles are not allowed to enter and leave at will, unless they have a special token. Of course, as the king, Yue Ying can come and go here freely.

When the demon soldier at the gate saw Yue Ming coming, he greeted him respectfully, then opened the door and let him in.

There is no sunlight in the prison here, and the air is always mixed with the smell of damp air and rotting leaves, and if it weren't for the sake of visiting An Lengyao, Yue Ming would not want to stay here for long.

When he made one more turn to reach the door of the cell where An Lengyao was being held, two soldiers happened to pass him, the two of them didn't seem to notice Yue Ming, one of them holding a lunch box with some leftover vegetables. The man seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said to his companion: "It's really troublesome to deliver food and food to that An Lengyao every day." ”

Another person took it: "Yes, that person is really calm, when Young Master Lin interrogated about the fire, he didn't answer a word." Although our demon king Yue Ming has some means, his vision of seeing people is really poor, and he has been intersecting with An Lengyao, who has a low status, and has handed over such an important sacrifice to him, which is good......"

"yes, if you want me to say ......"

The sound of the two talking gradually faded away, Yue Ming stood in place, looking at the place where the two demon soldiers disappeared, a cold cold light flashed in his eyes, but in just an instant, he returned to his old appearance.

After turning a corner, Yue Ming finally came to a cell in front of him. In order to prevent the suspects who are being held here from having the opportunity to collude in confessions during interrogation, in most cases, they are kept in one cell and far apart.

In the dim light, he vaguely saw a young man with torn clothes cowering in the corner.

The jailer not far away was a little surprised when he saw Yue Ming coming, and he hurriedly walked over: "Demon King, why are you here?" ”

"Open the door." Yue Ming looked at the cell door in front of him.

The jailer did not dare to say anything more, and hurriedly opened the cell door with the key.

"I have something to say to An Lengyao alone, you go outside and stay guarded, and wait for me to call you over again." Yue Ming commanded.

"Yes." The jailer said, quietly withdrawing.

Yue Ming hurriedly walked into the cell, An Lengyao saw that he wanted to stand up, but his body was too weak to use any strength at all.

"Yao!" Yue Ming hurriedly helped him to the side of the wooden chair. Only then did he see An Lengyao's pale cheeks and painful expression through the dim light.

"Hades, you're here." An Lengyao smiled, he tried hard to make himself look energetic, and he didn't want Yue Ming to worry about him.

"How so?" Seeing this situation, Yue Ming already understood that An Lengyao must have been punished.

"I, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." An Lengyao said softly, followed by a violent cough.

Yue Ming frowned slightly, put his palm on An Lengyao's back, and injected a breath of true qi, which could relieve some pain. Then, he put his finger on An Lengyao's wrist again.

"Someone has tortured you." Yue Ming withdrew his hand, and his tone unconsciously became cold, "Without my permission, who would dare to use such a punishment?" ”

Demonic punishment is the most cruel of all punishments, and it is easy not to use it unless it is the most heinous. This kind of torture technique is to drain the true qi from other people's bodies little by little, but for those who practice martial arts, after a long time, those true qi have long been fused with the bone marrow, just imagine how painful it will be to peel off the things that you have already integrated into your body little by little.

"Styx, I'm fine." An Lengyao sensed Yue Ming's anger.

"Who is it?" Yue Ming didn't pay attention to An Lengyao's words, he wanted to know who had hurt his friend.

"Yue Ming, I ......" An Lengyao didn't want to make Yue Ming make a big deal against others because of himself, it didn't matter if he suffered himself, but he couldn't implicate Yue Ming again.

"Tell me, who is it?" Yue Ming repeated it again, his tone was even colder, faintly revealing a trace of oppression belonging to the king.

An Lengyao rarely saw such a Yue Ming, such a young man, no longer the boy he usually loved as a brother and sister, with a smile in his eyebrows, but a real king of the Demon Realm, his heart trembled, and he replied softly: "It's Lin Chumo." ”

"Is that him? Hmph, I should have thought of it. Yue Ming said coldly. He hadn't come to examine the matter himself, and the man couldn't hold it anymore. But...... Yue Ming thought about it, this place is not for people to come and go at will, not to mention, he used punishment here, who gave him so much power?

Thinking of this, Yue Ming already had a number in his heart, but he still remained silent: "Why did he inflict magic punishment on you?" ”

An Lengyao smiled bitterly: "Isn't it a matter of course to punish the arsonist for burning the Demon King Yue Xuan's mourning hall?" He didn't understand why, when Lin Chumo came to interrogate this matter, those people who had arranged the ancient hall with him all said righteously that they were the perpetrators, and their tone did not have a trace of hesitation, there was no doubt. Of course, although he didn't know the exact reason for this, he could be sure that someone was getting in the way. All of this is like being directed at yourself.

Although An Lengyao's words didn't explain everything, Yue Ming had already gained measure. He pursed his lips and put his hands on An Lengyao's shoulders: "Yao, this incident was my negligence and made you suffer. I thought that he had burned down my father's funeral hall and forced me to imprison you, and that man had achieved his goal, but I never thought that he would have a trick up his sleeve - to buy off these people who work with you. ”

Yue Ming said, unconsciously sighing lightly: "I'm still careless in the end." ”

"You don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault." An Lengyao whispered, how could he not understand Yue Ming's heart. He always understood that if there was only one person in this world who was willing to regard him as a friend until the end, that person must be Yue Ming.

"Didn't you defend yourself when you were tortured, and then you endured it like that?" Yue Ming asked.

An Lengyao chuckled: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother?" How could Lin Chumo listen to my explanation? ”

As if he had thought of something, he smiled again and said: "But Yue Ming, I didn't confess, and no matter how they tortured me, I wouldn't admit it." I want to tell everyone that you have not mistrusted people, and this incident is not because you misused people. He knew that when such a thing happened, there would definitely be many people chewing their tongues behind Yue Ming's back, and they would attribute the fault to Yue Ming's belief in himself.

"Yao, I'm ......" Yue Ming remembered what he had just said when he met two soldiers along the way, he was angry in his heart, but now it has disappeared. After all, he still didn't say anything more, because he understood that what he was thinking in his heart, that person understood.

"Yao, I can't let you out yet, but I promise you that I will solve this matter as quickly as possible and let you out safely." Yue Ming knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and if he came for a long time, he would definitely attract the attention of others.

"I believe in you." An Lengyao said, "You go first, it's really not suitable for staying here for a long time." ”

"Hmm." Yue Ming nodded.

Later, he called the jailer again: "You take good care of An Lengyao, but if he has a little more questions, you are the only one who asks." Also, whoever comes here again in the future will report back to me. ”

"Yes." The jailer hurriedly replied.

Then, Yue Ming didn't stay long, and hurriedly walked out, he wanted to find Yin Qianluo. He thought that even if Lin Chumo wanted to take advantage of An Lengyao's imprisonment to fall into the well and harm him, he didn't have so much power to come in easily. The only way to say it is that someone gave him such qualifications. And the only person who has such power is his own mother.

Yue Ming actually knew best in his heart, and Yin Qianluo never accepted An Lengyao. It was impossible for her not to know what Lin Chumo had done to An Lengyao on weekdays, but she didn't stop it, because the tricks that person played were exactly what she intended.

But what will happen is not the little things that come out of nowhere on weekdays, if it is not handled properly, An Lengyao will be charged with arson, and it is very likely that he will lose his life for it. If it was normal, he didn't want to worry about his mother, but this time, he didn't want to be silent anymore.

However, just as Yue Ming left the dungeon and was about to walk towards Yin Qianluo's residence, he suddenly noticed a person standing around the corner not far away, quietly observing him.

The corners of Yue Ming's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and he changed his course and walked towards a narrow path. The road was surrounded by tall rocks and twists and turns. Sure enough, the man followed him all the way, always carefully keeping some distance from him.

Yue Ming's body is nimble, he shuttles freely from path to path, and when he reaches a crossroads, his figure flashes and disappears.

At this time, the boy who came in a hurry saw that the person he had been following suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't help but look left and right, wanting to find something to find out the trace of that person.

"The person who dares to follow me, I have met for the first time in more than ten years, and your courage is commendable. But terrible, you're not very clever at tracking you. Yue Ming walked out leisurely from behind the stones on the side.

"Demon King, I ......" The boy was startled, not knowing how to defend himself.

Yue Ming smiled slightly, but patted the boy on the shoulder: "I haven't said anything, why are you so nervous?" ”
