Chapter 517: Something That Doesn't Know Dead or Alive
Fourth, it was so quiet that you could hear the pins falling.
There is dry firewood left earlier in the cave, and in this cold place, you can make a fire for heating and lighting, so it is complete, but the atmosphere is a little awkward and slightly weird. Z.br>
Qi Yue stood at the entrance of the cave, leaning against the stone wall with his hands on his chest, always paying attention to the movement outside.
"The Ninth Prince?" Zhao Cheng stepped forward.
Qi Yue didn't even give him a look out of the corner of his eyes, still maintaining his original posture and not moving.
"Is the Ninth Prince passing through here? Or come here......" Zhao Cheng asked in a low voice.
Qi Yue narrowed his eyes, "Several of my brothers disappeared here, just before the town was slaughtered."
"No body found?" Zhao Cheng was shocked.
Qi Yue responded, "It's late, when I arrived at the inn, everyone was dead and buried in the stables in the backyard."
"Have you seen the murderer?" Zhao Cheng asked hurriedly.
Qi Yue was silent.
Obviously, no.
Zhao Cheng tightened the knife in his hand, "These bastards, damn it!"
"Find someone, and I'll leave." Qi Yue responded, "Whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but it was not difficult to be strong, after all, this matter really had nothing to do with others, this Ah Jiu Gongzi was neither from Anning Town nor from Yamen, so there was really no need to stir up this troubled water.
Inside the cave, a low cry was heard.
In the end, the young man couldn't bear it, so he patronized and was afraid, and at this moment there was only sadness left, and his family was ruined overnight, who could stand such a tragedy?
"What's the use of crying?" But the remaining old man still kept his senses, "Go back and bring those people in!"
Hearing this, three young people, you look at me, I look at you, but I didn't dare to say anything more.
The scene of the fight in the courtyard just now made them feel uneasy, where would they dare to make trouble again, in case those people really chased them, they were afraid that their lives would not be guaranteed.
"Those are the Holy Church?" Qi Yue asked.
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment, "Look at it, but I don't feel right. The Ninth Prince also knows the Holy Sect?"
"Listened a little along the way." Qi Yue prevaricated.
Zhao Cheng nodded, "It stands to reason that it is impossible for people from the Holy Sect to break into people's houses and kill people. Otherwise, the agreement signed with the Yamen will be broken, and innocent people will be killed indiscriminately, and the Yamen people will arrest them on the spot, which is also justified."
"According to you, they are murderers and impersonators?" Qi Yue asked.
Zhao Cheng didn't dare to respond, there was no facts as a basis, and no one dared to be sure.
"I don't care what they're looking for, I don't care what you're going to do, I'm just going to do my thing, and don't interfere with each other." Qi Yue opened his mouth coldly, and there was no human touch in his voice.
The young man suddenly knelt down in front of Qi Yue, "Engong, you are so good at kung fu, help us!"
Qi Yue: "......"
Immediately afterwards, Dongzi and Ah Lian also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Please, Engong, save us!" They're going to kill them all, and they're definitely not going to let us go, Engong...... Please, save us!"
Qi Yue was unmoved.
"The Ninth Prince?" Zhao Cheng's eyes were sincere, and he bowed respectfully, "Help everyone!"
Qi Yue suddenly lifted the shield of the cave door and strode out.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces full of sadness and despair.
"I'll take a look, and you stay still." Zhao Cheng instructed the official two sentences, and walked out with Qi Yue's footsteps.
Outside, the night was dark.
Qi Yue leaned against the trunk of the tree, his hands around his chest, as quiet as if he didn't exist, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
"The Ninth Prince?" Zhao Cheng stepped forward.
In the dark, Qi Yue's voice was cold, "Needless to say, I won't change my mind, life and death have their own fate, and others should not be involved." If a person is dead, it should be investigated by the yamen itself, and it has nothing to do with people like me."
"Yes!" Zhao Cheng nodded.
That's the truth.
It's just that......
The ability of the people in the yamen is limited, and there is really no way.
"The Ninth Prince is a Jianghu person?" Just now, Qi Yue said very clearly, the people of the rivers and lakes don't care about such idle things, because Zhao Cheng has a different idea in his heart, if he can......
Qi Yue responded, "Isn't it clear enough?"
"If the yamen can hire you with money, can the ninth prince ......" Zhao Cheng hesitated for a long time, "We really can't help it, human life is at stake!"
Qi Yue was silent.
"The Ninth Prince?" Zhao Cheng said earnestly, "For the sake of so many lives, please don't leave for the time being, so wait for the dawn, and I will escort them to the yamen after dawn, so that they will all be safe."
Qi Yue was just about to speak, when his eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Someone is here!"
"What?"
The two quickly returned to the cave, extinguished the fire inside, and waited quietly inside, everyone held their breath, did not dare to come out, and listened to the movement outside.
"Find!"
Is it a man's voice, accompanied by the sound of the soles of his shoes stepping on fallen leaves, as if he is walking around this area, as if he knows that people can be hidden here?
"Search carefully."
In my ears, there was the sound of swords rustling, it should be pulling something, and the iron tools slammed on the stones, making a piercing collision sound, which always affected the hearts of the people in the cave.
Qi Yue looked at the people behind him, is there a detailed work here, and he is ventilating the news outside? Or is it the inner girl before, who is leading the way for these dogs?
"Looks like here!"
There was a shout outside, and everyone's attention immediately fell on the entrance of the cave.
Zhao Cheng silently pulled out the knife, he was ready to make a move, if he didn't rush out, as long as the other party blocked the hole, they would all die here.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, a cold wind poured in.
Qi Yue suddenly flew out, reached out and pinched the other party's neck with lightning speed, threw the body out with his sleeves, and stood in front of the cave with his hands.
If he didn't strike first, once the entrance of the cave was blocked by them, poisoned smoke or stoned, no matter how good his kung fu was, he would have no chance of surviving.
Confined space is the most taboo...... "I don't know whether to live or die!"
