"Bad environment?"

Huo Zhiqing turned around, glanced at Cao Tongpu, and said with some mockery: "I heard those literati and warriors who came over say that the Terran prison is not very good, cellars, stagnant water, iron gates, chains, torture, but more often than not, kill on the spot, and then dissect the corpse to take the soul stone, right, General Cao?"

Cao Tongpu and Yue Heng couldn't say a word, their faces were extremely embarrassed, what Huo Zhiqing said was the truth, the human race had never paid attention to the capture of demon beasts, and they were basically treated like pigs and dogs.

They weren't in a position to accuse the Fire Spirit of captivity of humans!

For the first time, Huo Zhiqing felt that he had the upper hand, and he smirked, and he raised his chin and motioned to the guards guarding the prison gate with torches to withdraw the defensive circle and open the prison door.

A clammy and cold yin wind blew out of the door, the musty smell of the tide was very strong, Yue Heng only felt a little distressed, could it really be that one of his friends was locked up here?

The environment of the mountain prison is really very poor, the first feeling when you walk in is that it is clammy and cold, if you are locked up here all the year round, even if you don't die, you will definitely be struggling, you will be sick, and you won't live long.

The smell in the prison was terrible, the musty smell was the strongest, then the rancid and sour smell, the uncontrolled reproduction of microorganisms and bacteria, and the sanitary conditions were particularly poor, Yue Heng saw several monkey demons dragging the corpses past in front of him, there was almost no intact skin on the corpses, and there were rot and mildew pus everywhere.

There are more than a dozen passages in the mountainside prison, and several stone chambers are dug out of each passage, and the iron prison door is pierced to form a row of cells.

Almost every few steps, you can hear painful moans/groans coming from the cell next to you, and the screams of torture and interrogation can be faintly heard in the distance. There was no light in the dimly lit stone chamber cell. I can't even see who is being held.

When I think of it, all the prisoners here are Terran prisoners. Yue Heng felt sad and angry.

Yue Heng felt a pain in his arm, it was Cao Tongpu, he was reminding Yue Heng not to get excited, he must act steadily, and it was important to find out the overall situation, Yue Heng nodded slightly, and gradually calmed down.

"Lord Wake General, don't look at it. It smells terrible inside, so let's talk about it here. Yue Heng stood in a vent, the cool breeze blowing from the crack on the top of the mountain made him feel a chill on his body, plus he was not in a good mood, he really didn't want to look at it anymore, the more he looked at it, the more depressed he became.

In fact, Huo Zhiqing doesn't like this kind of place, if it weren't for the task assigned by his uncle, with his noble status, how could he personally come to a place like a place where the dead are staying?

"Let's go outside!" said Huo Zhiqing, holding a torch. Stride out.

Yue Heng gave Cao Tongpu a look, and Cao Tongpu understood. crushed the chain beads and followed him out of prison as if nothing had happened.

This is a backup plan made before, Cao Tongpu pinched the chain bead and Yue Heng did not crush it, which means that it is only to locate the location of the prison, not to give an early warning, and others will not rush to rescue after sensing it.

Out of the prison gate, everyone began to take a deep breath, Huo Zhiqing fanned his hand in front of his nose, frowned and said: "Gongzi Yue, you have also seen the situation, what kind of person do you want to find as a messenger?"

"The conditions in the prison are so poor that many of the prisoners are either seriously injured or on the verge of death, and there is no way for them to go back and report the information, and there is no way to show the sincerity of the integration of the two communities. Not to mention finding someone who is smart and eloquent, at least he can't lack arms and legs, and he is sick, right?" Yue Heng also had a helpless expression.

Huo Zhiqing thought for a while, and motioned to the prison warden who followed him: "Take the group of people who have recently been arrested, choose a few people who have seen the past, and let Gongzi Yue choose." ”

The prison warden turned around and went in to take people, Yue Heng didn't ask again, and casually chatted with Huo Zhiqing about human rights, prisoner of war treatment and other things.

Cao Tongpu reminded him in a timely manner, don't be too anxious about this kind of thing, Huo Zhiqing just can't let go emotionally and is easy to get angry and angry, it doesn't mean that he is stupid, it is impossible for a fool to become the guardian of the Fire Spirit Clan.

In case Yue Heng's request too much aroused the vigilance of the other party, as long as he did not cooperate, coupled with Ye Zhihui's disappearance, it would also arouse the vigilance of those who cared about it, maybe Yue Heng would never find his friends from the Chu State.

Today, the two of them saw the surrounding defense forces clearly, and determined the location and internal structure of the prison.

The warden soon led four men over, all of whom had just come out of the prison gate with their hands raised to shield themselves from the sun, their expressions distorted, their clothes shaky, their expressions empty, and they did not know what their fate would be.

Yue Heng carefully distinguished, there was no one he knew, Cao Tongpu coughed lightly twice, indicating that he didn't know anyone.

"My lord, these are the prisoners of war captured in Kunshan this month, they all claim to be the medicine pickers and hunters of the Tanglin Kingdom, and when they were captured, they lost half of our patrol team, but fortunately there was another team nearby at that time to catch them, and they came back to interrogate and torture them for half a month without results. The warden whispered in the ear of the fire.

Huo Zhiqing nodded, waving him to leave.

Kunshan is located at the junction of Dali and Tanglin, two thousand miles away from the border between the two countries, the area is basically sparsely populated, the world knows that this is a war zone, only the medicine pickers and hunters who want money and do not want their lives will organize a team to cruise here, and most of them flee separately when they encounter the demon beast patrol, and there are few strong fights.

Most of the prisoners of war captured in large-scale wars were executed on the spot, such medicine pickers and hunters may be spies who spy on intelligence, and most of those who dare to fight with patrol teams have ghosts.

"Raise your head!" Huo Zhiqing shouted in the human language, pointed at Yue Heng and said: "This is Yue Heng Yue Gongzi, a literati of the Chu State, and finally give you another chance, tell your identity, and spare you from death!"

Yue Heng shouted in his heart that it was not good, Cao Tongpu was also sweating in his palms, this move was a bit vicious, he was testing Yue Heng's intentions!

Sure enough, the four prisoners were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their heads and looked at Yue Heng with a happy expression on their faces, they had all heard of Yue Heng!

"Ah! you are Yue Heng......"

"I know you...... Son-in-law, save me!"

"Gongzi please save me, I ......"

"Son-in-law, help!"

The four of them struggled to pounce over, Yue Heng stood still, he couldn't retreat at this time, he was quickly thinking about how to deal with it, who were these four people? Is this a trap set by Huo Zhiqing? How should I answer?

The prison guards pulled hard, and the chains on the four prisoners clanged, and they all let out a miserable cry begging Yue Heng for help.

Cao Tongpu stood up, the scabbard of the Tai'a sword pointed at the prisoner who rushed over, if anyone dared to take a step forward, he would kill him on the spot......!
