Chapter 184

"Recently, the war in the south has been tight, and hard labor is becoming more and more valuable," After briefly reassuring Zhou Wuji, Zhang Lao said with some emotion as if he thought of something important, and he couldn't hear whether the things in his mouth were good or bad for them.

Regarding the news of the tension in the south in Zhang Lao's mouth, Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi had heard that many countries in the south of the city that never sleeped were about to go to war. News of the war was hot.

"Old Zhang, what are you worried about, people are fighting just because we are getting rich, and I can't wait for them to fight now!" Zhou Wuji is quite acceptable to the news in this regard, and I am afraid that he is planning to use the war to make more money.

"Zhou boy, what do you know, the southern countries have not been at war for a thousand years, presumably the Daqi Principality has been fully developed, if we fight the city that never sleeps, we will not have a good time. Zhang Lao seemed to really regard Zhou Wuji as his junior, and said "The kid screamed," and Zhou Wuji didn't care about it.

"The location in the south is big, even if it takes at least several decades to hit our city that never sleeps, why should Zhang Lao worry now, it's still important to get rich early!" Zhou Wuji couldn't understand the deeper meaning of the old man, and naturally still didn't feel that the war would affect him, so he responded to Zhang Lao's worries with a very calm expression.

Seeing that Zhou Wuji still couldn't understand his worries, Zhang Lao shook his head helplessly, not wanting to say anything, just at this time, the guard who left just now invited back a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked martial cultivator.

"Elder Zhang, the pharmacist has been invited," the guard bowed to Elder Zhang, and immediately exited the main hall and returned to his original position to stand.

"Pharmacist Hu, you're here," I saw that Zhang Lao simply greeted the person who came, and then ordered again without waiting for the other party to respond, "Quickly check these two people." ”。

"Yes," the man known as Pharmacist Hu also seemed to respect the white-haired old man, answered, and then walked directly to Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi, a pair of rat eyes first looked the two up and down, and then walked closer, and used his hand to check the physical condition of the two.

"Normal," After checking Qingyi, Pharmacist Hu muttered simply, and then checked Lin Xuanzhong, there was a pause in the middle, and then continued to check.

"No problem. It took a while for the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked pharmacist to nod and reply to Zhang Lao.

Seeing that this person said that there was no problem, Zhang Lao smiled at Zhou Wuji, and then called two guards to take Lin Xuanzhong and the two down, and then took out more than a hundred pieces of jade and handed them to Zhou Wuji, and the transaction between the two sides was completed.

When escorted down by two guards. finally got rid of Zhou Wuji and the others, although the next situation was still unclear, Lin Xuanzhong still felt much better.

As they walked forward, the two gradually discovered that there was a hole in this place, and there was a secret door in a house.

Once inside, a long walkway leads to the ground, and when you walk to the oil lamps that still hang on both sides of the flickering yellow light. The further you go, the more humid the air becomes, until you reach the end of the place where there is clearly a bright light, and I don't know how to describe the scene in front of me.

This place is like a large prison, full of cells built with iron fences, some of which have many people living in one cell, some of whom are shouting for help, some of whom are begging the guards to let them go, and many people are screaming madly and making strange noises, which Ren Lin Xuanzhong can't understand.

Men and women, most of their clothes were in tatters, all of them had black faces, and their hair was scattered, they all looked like crazy people, needless to say that the people in the prison were all arrested, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't understand why some people looked like they had been arrested for a long time.

When passing through the corridor between those cells, the smell was unpleasant, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted to cover his nose several times, but he couldn't lift his hand at all. Two guards sent the two directly to a dark cell.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you food later," he said, and the guards who escorted the two left at the same time.

After the guards left, the two looked at the prison for no apparent reason. There was still that stench inside, and there was only an empty bucket left on the ground except for some hay, which should be for the convenience of the two of them. No matter what the current situation is, Lin Xuanzhong is directly convenient for the empty bucket.

When it was convenient for Lin Xuanzhong, he didn't forget to continue to look at the cell, the lights in the prison were dim, and there were many corners that he couldn't see clearly, but fortunately, the two of them were not afraid of the dark. After convenience, Lin Xuanzhong was relaxed, and even the feeling of burning in his stomach was reduced a lot.

Although he is now imprisoned, Lin Xuanzhong still feels easier than being with Zhou Wuji, since he is going to be sent to hard labor, at least he will not die now, so he doesn't have to worry about safety, the only uncomfortable thing is that his hands are still locked and he can't move flexibly, and the feeling of losing his freedom makes Lin Xuanzhong very painful.

When it was convenient for Qingyi to follow, Lin Xuanzhong tried a few more times, but he still didn't break free.

"Don't waste your efforts, this shackle can't be broken with our strength," I don't know where Lin Xuanzhong got the energy to try to break free now, Qing Yi, who was convenient, was very surprised.

"I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to escape," Rubbing his wrist briefly, Lin Xuanzhong didn't refute Qing Yi's statement, but just glanced curiously at the solidity of the prison. The iron fence is unusually cold to the touch, but the surface is unusually smooth, faintly shining, and it is not an ordinary material at first glance.

As a result, I looked around along the fence, and when I looked, a face suddenly came into view. Lin Xuanzhong didn't see it at first, but he was startled when he looked carefully and was about to see it.

"Who are you?" blurted out the three words, and Lin Xuanzhong immediately stood farther away from the fence.

"Who else could it be, of course a prisoner like you," the man glanced at Lin Xuanzhong angrily, and then asked, "How did you two get caught?"

Lin Xuanzhong's movement startled Qing Yi, who was convenient, and almost urinated on himself, but turned around and saw the person standing in the prison next door calming down.

At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong finally saw the face of the person who spoke, and from the outside, it seemed that the other party had been arrested for a while, and the whole person was embarrassed.

"We were arrested outside the city," a simple response, Lin Xuanzhong was inspired and wanted to know about the other party's situation.

"You must have offended someone, right?" the man looked thoughtful at first, then looked at the two of them with certainty and said, "Presumably you two should be the first time to come to the city that never sleeps?"

"How do you know?" Before he could ask, the other party guessed his own situation again and again, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't ask the question he wanted to ask just now.

"I called Ming Buregret was arrested, but it was in the city," he didn't rush to explain to Lin Xuanzhong, but Ming Buregret next door talked about his own situation.

"I just lost a little more money in the gambling house that day, and then I was caught here, hey!" Ming Buregret seemed to be very emotional about what happened to him, and couldn't help but reveal some specific details to the two of them.

On the other side, the two of them already understood that the person next door to them was sent by someone from the gambling house, and they might not regret that they owed more than a little money to the gambling house, but how they owed it, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know.

I have played many times in the gambling hall in the ghost city before, and Lin Xuanzhong knows that the gambling house will not let you play if you don't have money, so the situation of knowing no regrets should be very special.

"Be honest," just as Lin Xuanzhong wanted to ask what the situation was now, a guard came over with a burden and threw it through the square opening in the door, "It's food here, if you don't want to starve to death, hurry up and eat it." With a few words, the guard departed as if he had never come.

A burst of aroma came from the burden on the ground, and even the smell of the convenience of the two just now was covered, and the two turned around and looked straight at the burden on the ground, and their stomachs also screamed.

The two of them were hungry all the way, and they didn't have anything to eat until now, Lin Xuanzhong only had one idea at the moment, to fill his stomach as soon as possible.

Regardless of the fact that there is still Ming no regrets next door, after picking up the baggage, he opened it and saw that it was full of white steamed buns, I don't know if it was because he hadn't eaten for a long time, this kind of food that was not full and unpalatable for Wu Xiu turned into a delicacy, which made Lin Xuanzhong salivate.

"Qingyi, you first see if there is a problem with the steamed buns," said Lin Xuanzhong and brought the burden of the open mouth to Qingyi.

A burst of aroma hit, Qing Yi also couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and immediately pulled out a slender silver needle from his clothes and inserted it into several steamed buns one after another. In the dim light, the color of the silver needle did not change at all.

"It's not poisonous," multiple have been checked, and the rest of Qingyi is not going to be checked.

"I advise you to eat less," Seeing that the two of them looked hungry and did not choose to eat, Ming Buregret next door shouted to the two of them with some sympathy: "There is a kind of drunken Yuan San in the steamed bun, which is formless and colorless, and ordinary silver needles can't be found at all." The more you eat, the deeper the natural poisoning. ”

In fact, Ming Buregret is also hungry at the moment, smelling the aroma of steamed bread from a distance and swallowing saliva, but because he understands the problem of steamed bread, he tries his best to suppress the feeling of hunger.

"Is Drunk Yuansan a poison?" Lin Xuanzhong, who couldn't wait to bring the steamed bun to his mouth, immediately stopped his movements and looked at Ming Buregret with a suspicious face.

At the same time, Qing Yi also stopped what he was doing, but Qing Yi felt that the word "drunk Yuan San" was somewhat familiar, and thought about it carefully. Ye Long and the black-clothed bandit used this kind of thing against the middle-aged leader that night.

"Haven't you heard of Drunken Yuansan?" Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong didn't even seem to know what Drunken Yuansan was, he was a little surprised when it was Ming Buregret's turn. This is the sweat medicine that Wu Xiu has encountered the longest, as long as it is Wu Xiu, how can he not know, it is very strange why Lin Xuanzhong doesn't even have this knowledge.

"What Brother Ming said is the kind of medicinal powder that can affect the operation of true qi in Wu Xiu's body?"
