Chapter 24: Don't think I can't hear you're hurting me

On December 12, they arrived at Min Zhengcheng, although Shen Yiqing loves cleanliness, but every time he enters the city, there is nothing good, so this time he is also a little hesitant.

Huo Jiulin felt a little funny when he saw him like this, was he scared?

"Aqing, if we don't enter the city, maybe how long we will have to sleep in the wilderness in the future, I don't care, but can you stand it?"

"But we've already lost a lot of time, if we have to stay in every town for a few days, we won't be able to catch up with the martial arts conference by then, right?"

"Who said that every town should stay for a few days, let's stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

"It's okay, fortunately, there are no familiar people in this Min Zhen City."

The implication is that even if there is any trouble, you can not interfere, Huo Jiulin drove the carriage into the city, and the number of guards at the city gate was quite normal, but it didn't take long to notice that something was wrong after entering the city.

"Aqing, there's no one on the street here."

"Maybe it's cold, so let's stay home."

"It stands to reason that this Min Zhen City is bigger than Xi Zhen City, and the people will not be so many less than Xi Zhen City."

Huo Jiulin couldn't figure it out, even if it was cold, the street shouldn't be so deserted, there were no passers-by, not even small vendors, he drove forward slowly, only to see that all the shops on both sides were closed.

The carriage stopped at the door of an inn, Huo Jiulin jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Shen Yiqing down, Shen Yiqing felt it: "It's so quiet." ”

"It's not quiet, it's dead silence, and I don't see anyone except the guards at the gates."

"How can this be ......"

"Find someone to ask, and if it doesn't work, leave."

Huo Jiulin stepped forward and knocked on the door of the inn, but no one answered, he knocked a few more times and shouted, "Is there anyone?" Stay! ”

I heard a sound of footsteps, and then the door of the inn was opened a crack, and the people inside seemed to observe Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing, and saw that only the two of them opened the door.

The man who opened the door was an old man in his sixties, and when he saw them, he asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Huo Jiulin raised his eyebrows, he still has to investigate so clearly when he lives in an inn this year?!

"Qi Yuecheng."

"Just here?"

"Isn't that nonsense? I said, old man, is your inn open or closed? ”

"Alas, what's the difference between business closure in this situation now, you two shouldn't go into the city, and you probably don't need to stay in the hotel, and it won't be long before someone comes to take you away."

"Take away? Where to take it? ”

The old man only sighed, Huo Jiulin was a little impatient, what the hell is this mysterious god?

"Old man, how many people are there in Min Zhen City? Who is the lord of the castle? Is this a plan to sing an empty city? ”

"Alas, it used to be a prosperous and lively city, but now it has been controlled by the demon cult demons."

Huo Jiulin rolled his eyes, yes, it's the Demon Sect again, anyway, as long as there are bad things along the way, it's all the Demon Sect's doing, he doesn't know the truth about the bloodsucking incident in Xixuan City, but didn't the flower thieves in Xi Luocheng originally say that it was the Demon Sect, what was the result?

"Then what kind of moth is this demon cult going on?"

"A group of people came two months ago, claiming to be from the Demon Sect, staying in the City Lord's Mansion and controlling the entire Min Zhen City, they said that they wanted to rebuild the Demon Sect, so they took away all the young men in the city and locked them up for training, and several of them were beaten to death because they wanted to escape."

"Where are you locked up?"

"City Lord's Mansion, the two sons look like people in the rivers and lakes, but they are weak, they are not the opponents of those demons, so don't go to the troubled waters."

"Which eye do you see we're going to wade through the waters? Come on, this store is not lived, in order to avoid trouble, Aqing, we still go out of the city and find a random woods to spend the night. ”

"Hmm."

"Wait a minute."

The old man called out to Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing, who wanted to leave, and reminded: "I'm afraid you two won't be able to leave." ”

Huo Jiulin smiled: "What? I said I don't want to be nosy, but you still force me to save people? Don't look at the master as handsome, but in fact, he is not a good person. ”

Shen Yiqing shook his head a little helplessly, this bully didn't know when he could change it, and the old man didn't get angry when he heard it, and explained: "What the old man means is that our Min Zheng City has only been able to enter and exit since it was controlled by the Demon Sect, so the two of you can't get out if you come in." ”

"What?"

Huo Jiulin twitched the corner of his mouth, wouldn't he be so unlucky? Xi Zhen City is closed, and this Min Zhen City is also closed? Since the city is closed, it should be sealed thoroughly, and let people in for Mao!

"I don't think there are many guards at the gate of the city, and I can't stop just a few vegetables......"

"Shhhh

The old man hurriedly beckoned them in, Huo Jiulin wanted to leave, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and there were many footsteps behind him, he took Shen Yiqing into the inn with some doubts, the old man closed the door of the inn, and Huo Jiulin left a crack in the door to look out.

The first to come was a horse, and at once sat a strong man, in the middle twenty or thirty young men were running, and finally a few men with whips followed.

"Don't stop, run faster, keep up with the horse!"

A man in the back shouted, the speed of the team was a little faster, and it didn't take long for him to run over, Shen Yiqing couldn't see the situation outside, but he could guess what was going on by listening to the voice.

"My intuition tells me that this matter must be very troublesome, let's not meddle in things, let's break out, it's a big deal to wait until we go out, Feige will pass the book to Yunyan City, tell them what happened here, and let them send someone nearby to help."

I don't know how many people the other party is, but being able to control such a large Min Zhen City means that there must be a lot of people, so it is impossible for the two of them to subdue them.

"I can't go."

"Why? Didn't you say that the gates were not guarded? ”

"I found a guy in the team just now."

"Who?"

"Little egret."

"Little egret? Could it be that you are referring to Su Lubai? ”

"Hmm."

"Why is Lubai here? Are you sure? ”

"There are too many people to see really, but it's very similar."

Although I can't be sure, I have to confirm it whether it is or not, in case it is really Su Lubai, I can't let him get into trouble and ignore it!

"We've been delayed for so much time along the way, if Lu Bai sets off at about the same time as us, he's not on the same road, and it's normal to surpass us, why don't you stay and confirm first?"

"All right, old man, an upper room, and then take care of the carriage."

Huo Jiulin said and handed the old man a piece of silver, and the old man heard their conversation and knew that they were staying to save their friends, so he didn't say anything more and took them upstairs.

It is inconvenient to move during the day, so Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing stayed in the inn to rest, and after nightfall, Huo Jiulin changed into a night suit, asked the old man about the location of the city lord's mansion, and then went to inquire about the news alone.

It can be seen that Min Zheng City was indeed more prosperous than Xi Zhen City before, because the city lord's mansion is much larger, and there are many guards inside, it seems that what the old man said should be true.

Avoiding some patrolling guards, Huo Jiulin walked around the city lord's mansion a few times, and finally found a small martial arts arena in the back, which should be used by the city lord to train guards in normal times, but now I am afraid that it is just used to train those strong men who have been captured.

There is a row of houses built next to the martial arts arena, which looks quite simple, and it is estimated that those who have been arrested should all live here, and there are so many guards, it is indeed difficult for those with average martial arts to escape.

Huo Jiulin slowed down his breathing and walked slowly behind the house, looking in from the window while guarding against those guards, so many rooms didn't know which one Su Lubai lived.

Really, he was obviously asked to go out to Shenjiabao to let people send him, shouldn't those who protected him be dumped by him again, but no matter what, Huo Jiulin still hoped that he was wrong during the day, and it was better not Su Lubai.

There are bunks in every room, and it is estimated that it can sleep seven or eight, and it is difficult to resemble the scene where the kid sleeps with these big men.

After looking at three or four rooms, he didn't see any trace of Su Lubai, Huo Jiulin felt that he might really be wrong, but this idea was dispelled not long after it came out, because he had already heard the kid's voice, which was in the front room.

"You tap!"

"If you don't want to get out of bed tomorrow, just shout."

"But it hurts."

Huo Jiulin froze, his eyebrows gradually twisted, what is going on with this damn conversation? Why does it sound so discordant, it can't be what he thinks, right?

Hands slowly clenched into fists, looking in from the corner of the window, when he saw the situation inside, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Su Lubai, who was dressed in coarse linen, sat on the far left side of the shop, one foot was held in his hand, and he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but it seemed to be helping him rub his ankles.

"Hurt ......"

"Tsk, I really don't know who caught you in."

"Can you blame me? These days, it's normal to either run or zama walk, and your feet hurt! ”

Su Lu puffed up a small face and protested, and the man agreed when he heard this: "Yes, it should be, so those who have sore feet and hands have been beaten to death, and you will live the longest." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, praise you."

"Hmph, don't think I can't hear you're hurting me."

Su Lubai withdrew his feet, lowered his head and rubbed his feet, and the man smiled: "Yo, are you still angry?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm really blind, I saw that you helped me a few times during the day and treated you as a good person, and now it seems that you are as hateful as those demon cult demons."

"Oh, there is no difference between good people and bad people, in my opinion, there are only smart people and stupid people, such as me and you."

"You mean, you're stupid?"

"Well, you're an idiot."

"You! Hum!! ”

The man sat upright with a smile and propped his hands back on the bed, and then his eyes suddenly looked towards Huo Jiulin, Huo Jiulin was stunned, I didn't know if he found anything, but after waiting for a while, I didn't see him say anything.

The two looked at each other, Huo Jiulin was hiding in the dark, so it was easy to see his appearance clearly, he was about in his early twenties, his face was well-defined, his eyes were like stars, his appearance was extraordinary, and more importantly, he always felt that he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
