It rained heavily all night, but the dim lights in the room where Lu Li lived were also lit all night, except for the two black-armored soldiers who had died, no one in this dilapidated south alley had come to inspect all night. It wasn't until early in the morning, when some light could be vaguely seen, that Su Jiu opened the door and walked out of Lu Li's house, she walked very slowly, and she didn't go to the dilapidated tile house, she changed her dress, she looked a little simpler, she walked out of the stone bridge, and slowly disappeared at the end of the alley.

Lu Li sat quietly on the bench in the room, his eyes were slightly puffy, his face seemed to have regained some blood, he kept staring at the dim lamp on the square table that was about to burn out, until he watched the last trace of wick slowly go out, he turned around slightly.

The swordsman didn't return for one night, as if he deliberately gave Lu Li and Su Jiu a chance to be alone. But at this time, Lu Li was a little worried. As usual, even if Lu Li still hasn't said a word to him, the two seem to have formed some kind of tacit understanding faintly, but Lu Li himself can't say what kind of tacit understanding it is.

At this time, he had mixed feelings in his heart, Su Jiu's words were still lingering in his mind, he knew that since he beat the black-armored soldier named Wang Lang to death with one punch, he had already embarked on that path, and there was no way out, he said that he wanted to give him a reasonable explanation, but it was just to make his own conscience better. In other words, he needs to convince his heart so that even if he loses his life one day, there will be no regrets or complaints.

He didn't know if there were any new developments and discoveries on the side of Qintian Nine Eunuchs, and Lu Li originally planned to ask the swordsman for the reason in the past few days, but now that the swordsman was gone, it made Lu Li's heart even more bottomless. He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be after the two black-armored soldiers were discovered by the Guanzhong Army, the matter had already come to this point, so he could only come and cover up the water.

Thinking like this, Lu Li felt that his head hurt a little, so he simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

It wasn't until noon that Lu Li woke up, and he suddenly remembered that Li Sansan had not heard from him since he passed out that day, and he didn't know if he was better. Lu Li got up and looked around, frowned and sniffed, and half-sounded, he walked out of bed in a daze. It seems that the swordsman did not return here in the morning during the day, and a trace of grief suddenly flashed in Lu Li's heart, this cultivation straw that he had always wanted to grasp in his hands, if it really disappeared because of something he didn't know, wouldn't what he had done these days be a little ridiculous!

In the end, I may not have learned anything, but I put this cheap life into it.

Lu Li showed a miserable smile and didn't think about it anymore. He simply put the guard armor on his body, he wanted to go to the General's Mansion, first, to see Li Sansan's condition, and secondly, to find out the news about the ruins of the royal tomb. As for the words that Su Jiu had said to him, he would probably remain rotten in his stomach until this matter could really change qualitatively.

The weather has cleared, the north wind continues to howl, Lu Li looked at the number of black-armored soldiers patrolling back and forth in the city is still unabated, it seems that the girl who killed the monk in Luoyang outside the south gate yesterday should not have been caught, he suddenly reached out and touched his chest, maybe it was not yet the time to attack, Lu Li just felt a little cold, he glanced at the red rope on his wrist again, and his heart was a little drumming, he didn't see anything unusual about this rope, can the girl really find herself.

"It's bad!" Lu Li subconsciously blurted out, if she had escaped from the city now, then even if she reported it now, it would be useless, and it might make that Li Dian think that she was colluding with her, so it would be even more unclear.

But this cold poison is already in her body, if she really doesn't appear, won't she sit and wait for death. Lu Li secretly said that people's hearts are really sinister, but there is no other way at the moment, he can only wait to see if the girl can come today, if not, then make another plan.

Lu Li deliberately glanced at it from a distance when he passed by the red sleeves, the door was still open, but the ragged old Taoist didn't see him, and Lu Li didn't think much about it, anyway, it was just three copper coins, if it was really a person who was cheated and deceived, Lu Li also thought he was unlucky.

But just as Lu Li walked to the door of the General's Mansion, he saw Zhao Shixiong leading a dozen people out of it with a black face, Lu Li was stunned, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.

"Isn't it your vacation these days, why are you dressed like this? Zhao Shixiong caught a glimpse of Lu Li's figure and said with a frown.

"I'll come and see if Li Sansan is better. Lu Li was a little embarrassed and lowered his head and replied.

"He's fine, have you felt anything uncomfortable in the past two days. Zhao Shixiong suddenly lowered his voice and looked at Lu Lidao.

"No, what's going on? Lu Li's heart chuckled, and his face darkened suddenly. Zhao Shixiong looked up and let out a long breath of air around him, and took two steps forward to Lu Li's ear, his already dark face became even darker, "The ten brothers who were bitten by that group of strange people in the ruins of the royal tomb that day all died in the military aircraft camp this morning. ”

Lu Li raised his head violently when he heard this, and his pupils dilated for a moment. He subconsciously looked behind him, only to feel a little out of shape, and hurriedly stood up straight again.

"Dead?" Lu Li's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, the whole body is festering and dying, I suspect that the strange people hiding in the ruins of the royal tomb have some kind of plague on them, but I don't know why they didn't die. I just reported to the general, and this matter must not be publicized. A trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Shixiong's eyes, those were all soldiers who had been with him for many years, and he brought them out single-handedly. He seemed to realize that the speech here was a bit eye-catching, so he took Lu Li's shoulder and walked towards the path outside the General's Mansion.

"What about the others?" Lu Li pursed his lips, a little apprehension welling up in his heart.

"I have isolated all the brothers who have come into contact with them, and I have not found anything abnormal for the time being, but the general has already sent people back to Luoyang just in case. Zhao Shixiong's brows furrowed, and he remembered what Li Chaonan had said in the General's Mansion just now. If this is really deliberate, then the nature of this matter is far from being as simple as the plague.

"That's good, isn't there any movement on the side of the Nine Eunuchs of Qintian?" Lu Li actually wanted to know more about this.

"Yes, they went on a trip last night, and more than ten people died, I heard that Gonggong Cao said, they killed five, arrested one, and now they are locked up in that prison, you have nothing to do anyway, I will take you to see later." Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Shixiong lowered his head and barely pulled out a hint of banter.

If you want to say that the soldiers who were originally stationed at the city gate, Zhao Shixiong is actually very special to Lu Li, just like Li Sansan once said, the two are sometimes more like father and son. Lu Li's spirit and the toughness in his bones may only be seen by Zhao Shixiong.

"Don't be afraid, what's this. Lu Li was stunned when asked, and deliberately plucked up the courage to say.

"What's wrong with your right hand, it looks a little red and swollen. Zhao Shixiong suddenly glanced at Lu Li's hand and asked with concern.

"Yesterday it rained and I fell and hit a stone. Lu Li instinctively shrunk his hand and replied with a smile.

"It's such a big person, pay attention to yourself in the future. Zhao Shixiong turned his head and glanced at Lu Li with his peripheral vision, and then stopped talking.

The prison that was originally used to hold the important prisoners of the Jin Guoliu soldiers was built on the westernmost side of the military aircraft department, and Lu Li and his party turned a few streets into the gate, and then went straight to the prison.

Zhao Shixiong's mission today was originally to interrogate the cannibalistic guy who was caught from the ruins. He still has the examination book of the General's Mansion in his hand. In fact, this is also what Li Chaonan meant, anyway, this person must not be able to interrogate them to Qintian Jiujian, if this is really as Li Chaonan said, then as long as there is a way to pry open that person's mouth, everything will naturally come out!

Skirting a long hallway, down the stairs to the ground, the light flickered. The more Lu Li walked, the more numb his scalp became, this prison, Lu Li knew about it for a long time, but he never came.

The group descended to the lowest level, and the dim oil lamps on the walls on both sides of the narrow passage illuminated the sight slightly.

"Captain Zhao. ”

Lu Li raised his head when he heard this, and he saw a young man in a prison official uniform suddenly stand up and salute Zhao Shixiong.

"How. Zhao Shixiong squinted his eyes and asked softly.

"I've been to see it twice, but I haven't made a sound, didn't you tell us not to come close? The young man said in a deep voice.

"It's okay, it's hard work. Have the people from the Nine Prisons of Qintian been here?" Zhao Shixiong said as he walked forward side by side with the man. Lu Li walked behind them, constantly looking at the cages around them. Some of the cells were empty, emitting a pungent stench, and some were inhabited by more than one person. Lu Li looked at those prisoners with fluffy hair and strange expressions, and felt that he had taken his gaze back again.

This atmosphere was really a bit weird, which made Lu Li shiver.

After walking for about half a pillar of incense, Lu Li and his party went down the stairs that swirled down to the bottom of the prison.

There were only five cells on this floor, each cell was much larger than the one above, and the group stood at the top of the staircase, when a biting cool breeze suddenly hit, making Lu Li shrink his neck.

"That's it. The young man raised his hand and gestured to the third cell in the middle. Zhao Shixiong turned his gaze and walked forward slowly.

Lu Li took a deep breath and was about to follow, when he watched the strange man in the cell suddenly get up, his festering face was mostly covered by hair, he was wearing a shabby vest, and his whole skin looked like black charcoal.

He slammed to the edge of the bars of the prison, clasped his hands together, and shook his mouth and screamed: "Ah Diao, Ah Diao, Ah Diao!"
