Chapter 191

In the martial arts cultivation realm, a broken weapon generally means that the person holding the soldier is dead, but fortunately, no blood stains were found at the location of the broken sword, and because there are often mercenary teams passing through this position, the road is full of rut marks, and there is no sign of a fight earlier.

After the two sides converged that morning, Liu Er informed the middle-aged leader of their discovery, and then everyone returned to the place where the broken sword was found. Except for the broken sword, no substantive clues were found, but there was no blood on the ground, but everyone understood that the two should have been captured and not killed.

Since those people didn't kill people on the spot, it proved that those people didn't intend to kill the two of them, so after the two sides summed it up, some people went to the convoy that entered the city that day to inquire about the news, and some people went to Zhou Wuji and others on the street according to the description of Zhang Guang's brothers and sisters.

After two days of hard work, Zhou Wuji and the others were finally found an hour ago, and seeing Zhang Guang's brothers and sisters again surprised Zhou Wuji and the others, but when the middle-aged team leader questioned Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi's whereabouts, several people didn't buy it, no matter how the middle-aged team leader forced them, the eight of them just refused to admit it.

Because it was in a public place, the middle-aged team leader finally couldn't help Zhou Wuji and the others, so they only planned to wait for the eight people to come out and follow them quietly, and then take down the eight people in a secret location, and then torture them about the whereabouts of Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi.

It was precisely because he was worried that he would be arrested by the middle-aged team leader on the way back, so Zhou Wuji and the others kept hiding in the tavern and didn't come out.

The more they didn't leave the tavern, the more suspicious their behavior became, and the people waiting outside felt that Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi's whereabouts were related to them, so they all planned to arrest Zhou Wuji and the others through improper methods as long as eight people came out.

It's a pity that Zhou Wuji is a chess master after all, and after staying in the tavern for a long time, he finally got rid of everyone's tracking directly from the dark passage.

With the disappearance of Zhou Wuji and others, the original important clues were directly interrupted, and for everyone who put the hope of finding Lin Xuanzhong and the others on Zhou Wuji and others. The disappearance of the eight people is undoubtedly a blow, and now everyone is not familiar with the life path of the city that never sleeps, and trying to find Zhou Wuji is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, when I was inquiring about the news, I could still hear the news about the Wu family, Wu Long and Wu Yu were expelled from the house unexpectedly, and the Wu family's business has become a lot colder recently because of that incident, but fortunately, after the public apology, the anger of the Nan family and the black market was finally calmed.

Now that the chaos in the Wu family is being completely rectified, the concerns of the red tear father are about to become a fact. The Wu family has suffered a big loss, and the target of the anger is not only the Wu family branch in the east city, but also the people of the Liu family. Once the news reaches there, the people of the Wu family in the east city will also not let go of the people of the Liu family.

After constantly hearing the news about the Wu family, Liu Er was worried that the situation in the East City would really not be able to stay in the city that never sleeped. The middle-aged team leader understands their difficulties, so he just wants to find Lin Xuanzhong and the others as soon as possible.

Now that the clues about Zhou Wuji are broken, they can only spend money to buy news in a special place, and speculate on the traces of Lin Xuanzhong and Qingyi from the side.

Since there is a black market, it is natural that there will be no shortage of places to sell news, but it is just a matter of constantly breaking the bank, after continuous efforts, everyone learned that the two of them were likely to be caught by Zhou Wuji to sell, but unfortunately there are too many organizations in the city that buy people, and all of them have backstage, not that they can provoke at will.

In addition, even if they found the two according to this clue, they could only try their best to spend a lot of money to redeem the two, and they didn't think about using the strong at all.

By the time the relevant clues were found, another day had passed, and Liu Er had already followed the middle-aged leader for three days. It is good for Lin Xuanzhong to have kindness to Red Tears' father, but in the past three days, he has tried his best to find enough to repay the kindness, and the middle-aged team leader knows that Liu Er and his family are all in Donglin City, so they finally plan to let them go first.

Liu Er and they are righteous, knowing that the middle-aged team leader is in urgent need of money now, before leaving, they will all the jade on their bodies and hand it over to the middle-aged team leader, which can be regarded as the last favor for the middle-aged team leader.

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged team leader and others, the ten people didn't even bother to buy dry food, and hurriedly left the city that never sleeps and chased after the team.

Because of the decrease in the number of people, it is more difficult for the middle-aged team leaders to do things, but fortunately, Zhou Wuji and others have a bad reputation in the surrounding area, and occasionally people will talk about the things they designed to harm people.

After continuous inquiry, the middle-aged team leader found another clue, and even figured out the residence of Zhou Wuji and others. In order to make sure that everything went smoothly, the ten of them first settled in the city that never sleeps.

At this moment, it has been a day and a night since Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them had eaten the last good meal, and the three of them have long been on the way to be escorted to do hard labor. According to the prisoners, they were to be sent hundreds of miles away to mine in the Beihuang Mountains, where there were many mining areas, and they were going to open metal mines.

The war in the south is tight, and the price of weapons will naturally rise with the tide, so the price of materials used to craft weapons will increase accordingly. It can be said that it was based on this that the organization unsurprisingly rushed to the mining area after the three of them had eaten the steamed buns.

According to Ming Bu Remorse, before leaving the cell, all three of them drank a bowl of water. Those who refused to drink water were taken back to their prisons on the spot, and it was said that they would starve for three days before they could be sent to mine again.

After killing chickens and monkeys, after having that person as a demonstration, none of the remaining dozens of martial cultivators dared not drink the bowl of water. There were more than three of the dozens, and it looked like many of them had been starving in prison for days.

Now among the dozens of people, except for Lin Xuanzhong and some people, they are hungry with their chests and backs, let alone resisting, they don't even have the strength to speak. The wrists were also shackled, and the shackles between them were connected with iron locks.

Under the whips wielded by those escorts, dozens of people walked forward without stopping, and a slow step could break the flesh on the spot. In order not to suffer this kind of hardship, Lin Xuanzhong has only followed the pace of Ming without regrets.

Since they were escorted out yesterday, the three of them were pressed into a carriage made of iron fences outside, but inside, and sat for several hours before leaving the city gates.

At first, Lin Xuanzhong wondered why it took so long to leave the city, it stands to reason that the place where they set off should be very close to the north city gate, and it wasn't until later that Lin Xuanzhong figured out that they were not going through the north city gate, but the south city gate.

After arriving outside the city, it took about an hour for the carriages to stop. In the barren mountains and mountains, Lin Xuanzhong and the others could no longer confirm the specific location.

Immediately afterwards, the men in charge of escorting the slaves drove the people out of the carriage. Because the road ahead is uneven. It was also very remote and could not be driven, so except for some high-ranking personnel who rode directly on horseback, everyone else went forward on foot. They had walked almost a hundred miles until now, and now they were still hundreds of miles away from their destination.

Hundreds of miles are still a long way to go, walking, walking, and many people are hungry again. Fortunately, in order to make the slaves go faster, those escorts will give them some steamed buns and water, of course, there are problems.

The person sitting on the tall horse in front of him was the leader of this mutual mission, a standard seventh-order martial cultivator, with an extremely strong aura, and he didn't look back at Lin Xuanzhong and them at all along the way. The other personnel responsible for escorting the hard labor were all fifth-order martial cultivators, a total of thirty or forty people, and their overall strength should not be underestimated.

If Lin Xuanzhong's hands were not restrained and he suddenly cast the Eight Desolation Steps, it would be easy to kill ordinary people, but that Seventh-Order Martial Cultivator would not be able to deal with it. The strength of his body did not mean that Lin Xuanzhong would be the opponent of the seventh-order martial cultivator, not to mention that now Lin Xuanzhong only had the strength of the third-order martial realm.

Those who were escorted together with Lin Xuanzhong and the others were all from the second-order martial cultivators to the fifth-order martial cultivators, but there were none of the sixth-order martial cultivators.

Sixth-order martial cultivation is barely able to reach the threshold of high-level martial cultivation, and it is somewhat difficult to make them prisoners, and if there are such prisoners, they will definitely not send people to dig for hardship, and it will generally be more cost-effective to keep them.

Walking on the road, although Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them were in good health, they still had sad faces. Originally, there were not even ten prisoners to escort them, but in fact, there were more than thirty fifth-order martial cultivators, and there was also a seventh-order martial cultivator leader.

Even if the three of them have no abnormalities in their bodies at the moment, there is still no hope of escaping, not to mention that they are still restrained by shackles.

Dozens of hard laborers one after another, the whole team was more than ten meters long, and in the middle position, the three of them were really not happy. The original plan to act on the opportunistic needs to be extended indefinitely, and the three of them cannot predict what the future holds.

Of course, the three of them could also see that the road they were escorted to as hard labor did not seem to be complete, otherwise they did not need to be escorted by so many people, and the road they walked was so remote and desolate.

Walking in the middle of a wasteland, the road is only accompanied by weeds, and the empty area is not even a bird in sight, and the weather seems to be getting colder and colder.

Two hours later, when night fell, the escorts gathered together to surround all the prisoners in the middle, and then made a fire to make food, and only threw Lin Xuanzhong and them a few packets of steamed buns.

Everyone knows that there is a problem with steamed buns, but after they said, "These are your food, if you don't eat it, you will all be hungry", everyone was hungry and couldn't help but scramble. It seems that at this point, many people have already chosen to accept their fate, but Lin Xuanzhong only grabbed three steamed buns, two of which were snatched by Qingyi and Ming Buregret.

On such a cold night, Qingyi and Ming did not regret only using a steamed bun to satisfy their hunger, so you can imagine how miserable the situation is.

While Lin Xuanzhong and the others were scrambling for steamed buns, the escorts were laughing while busy roasting meat with hay, and some even put the dried meat they brought in a pot to cook and eat. More than 30 people talked and laughed.
