Chapter 12: Trading

night

The prison is brightly lit.

Outside the heavy prison, 300 archers stretched out their bows and arrows, and dozens of oil drums burned on the side.

The acrid black smoke rose in the scorching flames.

Intense murderous intent pervades the heavy prison.

It seems that the next moment will turn the heavy prison into a sea of fire.

All the felons rose to their feet and looked out the door in horror.

Lu Yiju was surrounded by the jailers, dressed in a dark red uniform, murderous, and strode into the heavy prison with a long knife in his hand.

He went straight to cell A and motioned for the jailer to open the door.

The jailer looked embarrassed and persuaded, "My lord, please think twice......

Lu Yiju waved his hand, "Open." ”

The jailer had no choice but to comply.

In the cell number A, the Monkey King was lying on the fine iron chain, and Li Wuyou was sitting in the corner of the wall, without any movement.

After Lu Yiju came in, they opened their eyes and looked over.

Lu Yiju's gaze first fell on the Monkey King, and then he remembered something, and looked at Li Wuyu with a calm face.

The crimson flames flickered, and the atmosphere in the cell was oppressive and solemn.

Lu Yiju's eyes were bloodshot, "The cell No. A is damaged, and the Monkey King is suspected of breaking through, why don't you tell the official how to deal with it?" ”

It sounds like an inquiry, but the meaning of the hilt of the knife is self-explanatory.

The Monkey King's dangling chains stopped, and a deep voice sounded slowly,

"So...... The adults have laid down so many men just to take my life? ”

The atmosphere of the prison quickly dropped to freezing.

The other felons had long since been silent, wishing that they would be deaf and not able to hear the life-threatening words.

Lu Yiju's bloodstained face, under the light of the firelight, is like Zhong Kui enshrined in the Taoist temple, hideous and righteous and awe-inspiring,

"According to the "Summer Criminal Law", during the war, all those who violate stability can be cut first and then played."

"Give you a quarter of an hour, if you can convince the officer, the officer will not kill you."

"Otherwise, even if you all perish together, you will surely die today."

"Today's Tongchuan County cannot withstand the slightest wind and waves, and all threats must be eradicated."

As his words fell, all the jailers drew their long knives and waited for them.

The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme.

The slightest disturbance may plunge the entire prison into a place of no return.

Li Wuyu, who was sitting in the corner, blinked, his eyes full of innocence.

What a beep dog.

You can eat melons on your head.

I just want to hide here and cultivate to become stronger, who did I provoke?

What do you want to do to the Monkey King, implicate me?

He had no doubts about Lu Yiju's determination to kill.

In the nearly ten days of defending the city, the earth-shattering shouts and killing sounds outside lasted from early morning to evening.

Until now, he has not directly burned the heavy prison to ashes, it is already the mercy of this county lord.

It is clear that the situation outside is not optimistic.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for even the dignity of a county to go to the battlefield to kill to such an extent.

He even moved the idea of razing the heavy prison, just to eradicate his worries.

Inside cell A, there was a depressing and tormenting silence.

How can I make this county lord with a tendon in his head believe that they will not make trouble at the juncture?

There is no solution to this.

Because of both sides, there is no basis for trust.

How can this thing be believed just by saying a few words?

Li Wuyou's mind spun quickly, bringing himself into the identity of Lu Yiju and the Monkey King, thinking from their perspective, wanting to find the key to breaking the game.

The atmosphere in the prison became colder and colder, and the Monkey King even left from the fine iron chains, with the intention of making a move at any time.

And Lu Yiju and those jailers looked more and more fierce.

At this moment,

Li Wuyu stood in front of the Monkey King, preventing him from making a move that would more easily exacerbate the conflict.

Breaking through is always the last resort.

He sorted out his thoughts, looked at Lu Yiju and said,

"Adults feel that the current Hundred Refined Iron Chains can no longer lock the Monkey King, just like a tiger that has broken free from its shackles, and it may eat people at any time."

"So I want to be the first to eradicate the threat......"

Li Wuyou paused, and then said,

"But no matter what we say, the threat is always there, and adults will never really believe us, and in the end, there is no other way but to fight with real knives and guns."

"This ...... Is that what adults want to see? ”

Li Wuyou pointed to the jailers behind Lu Yiju, "If you really want to fight, the adults will die, and these good men will die." ”

"As long as we break out of the heavy prison, I'm afraid those people outside arranged by the adults may not be able to kill us."

"So, that's what adults want to see?"

"Because of the loss of the command of the adults, the already precarious Tongchuan County has no leader."

"It won't be long before the county seat of Tongchuan will be lost tomorrow, what will it be like then, can't adults imagine it?"

Li Wuyou's words made the atmosphere of the heavy prison stagnant.

Lu Yiju's eyes narrowed slightly, and the jailers behind him also had complicated expressions.

Dominance has quietly shifted.

Li Wuyou spread out his hands, fully releasing his kindness, "We don't want things to develop like that. ”

"In that case, why can't we just talk calmly?"

……

After a stick of incense,

"Bang Dang ......"

The gates of the prison were slammed shut.

In the huge heavy prison, only Li Wuyou, Lu Yiju, and the Monkey King remained.

Everyone else was kicked out.

The felons were also escorted out, and when they saw the three hundred archers outside with their bows and arrows ready to shoot at any time, they were all so frightened that their legs and stomachs trembled.

With such a volley, they all have to die here.

Invulnerable, even the foundation building monks can't do it, let alone them?

In cell A, three people sat around the ground.

Li Wuyou said, "Since you want to talk, let's talk openly and honestly, there is no need to hide it." ”

He first asked the Monkey King, "What does the Monkey King want?" ”

The Monkey King was silent for a moment, "I'm not willing to use the side door to break the eight grades, I want to go out." ”

Li Wuyu looked at Lu Yiju again, "I can guess what the adults want." ”

"The most important thing is that the heavy prison cannot be chaotic, and Tongchuan County cannot be disturbed."

"At a deeper level, it is to defend Tongchuan County."

"I don't know if I'm right or not?"

Lu Yiju didn't speak, just nodded.

Li Wuyou finally pointed to himself, "What I want is very simple. ”

"There is food and drink, and there is a place where I can practice without being disturbed by external chores."

"Deep in the mountains and old forests, it is easy to encounter mountain bandits, find a slightly better place, and maybe you can meet a strong monk."

"Prison is the best place to hide people, it's hidden in the city, and it doesn't attract attention, so I want to stay here."

Whether it is Lu Yiju or the Monkey King, the pursuit of Li Wuyu has a sense of absurdity of listening to the book of heaven.

If a monk wants to become an immortal, which one is not desperately competing for opportunities?

Go to the famous mountains and rivers to explore the spiritual veins of the cave, or go alone in the deep mountains and old forests to find the treasures of heaven and earth?

Or burn, kill, loot, and become a demon cultivator.

How could it be like Li Wuyu, who didn't want to get out in prison?

This guy is simply an outlier among the outliers.

Li Wuyou said, "Right now, I have a way to solve the problems of adults. ”

As he spoke, the attention of the other two was drawn.

"What's the explanation?" Lu Yiju asked.

Li Wuyou replied, "The Monkey King and I will guard the heavy prison for the adults and ensure that there will be no chaos. ”

"When the war in Tongchuan County is over, if the Monkey King is released, there will be no harm to Tongchuan County."

He always paid attention to the situation of the two people, and when this proposal came out, the Monkey King did not react, but Lu Yiju's eyebrows were still frowning.

So, Li Wuyou took the opportunity to say, "Or...... There's a second way. ”

"What's the second method?" Lu Yiju looked over.

Li Wuyou didn't answer directly, but asked, "Are there monks in the army attacking Tongchuan County?" ”

Lu Yiju nodded.

Li Wuyou's brows moved slightly, and he was very satisfied, and then he spoke, "The second way is that the Monkey King and I will take these felons to defend the city for Tongchuan County. ”

"With me and the Monkey King here, at least we can resist two foundation building monks."

Lu Yiju directly refused,

"If you are let out, you will flee directly, or even open the city gate to meet the enemy, won't you directly put Tongchuan County in dire straits? This is not possible! ”

"So, it's going to be a deal." Li Wuyou reassured, "Orders alone won't work, and there is no foundation for trust between you and us." ”

"But if there is a heart-warming benefit, I believe that neither the Monkey King nor I will do that kind of unwise thing."

"Besides, the situation in Tongchuan County is not optimistic, no matter how bad the result is, it is just a few days before the city is broken."

"Why don't you take a gamble?"

Lu Yiju was silent for a long time before accepting Li Wuyu's so-called deal.

He looked at the Monkey King, "Two foundation monks, I'll let you go; If you can defend Tongchuan, I will teach you a positive printing method. ”

As soon as these words came out, both the Monkey King and Li Wuyu immediately widened their eyes, and the momentum on their bodies erupted uncontrollably.

"Seriously!?" There was a tremor in the Monkey King's voice.

Li Wuyou also stared at Lu Yiju tightly, who would have thought that Lu Yiju was not only a foundation building monk, but also had a positive seal method.

This county lord is not simple......

Lu Yiju nodded and said, "Naturally, take it seriously." ”

He looked at Li Wuyou, "As long as you guard Tongchuan, I can also teach you this Zhengyin method." ”

"I swear by my own way, if I break my oath, I will not enter the eighth grade in this life."

Li Wuyou followed and said, "But I have one more condition......"

He raised his index finger, "A foundation building monk can change a Perfection Realm Exercise, whether it is a miscellaneous technique or a side door." ”

"If you don't have one, you have to find someone else to teach me."

Lu Yiju was a little surprised by Li Wuyu's request, but he still nodded and agreed,

"Miscellaneous techniques are mostly martial arts tactics, although it is difficult to cultivate to perfection, but it is not impossible."

"The side door has already involved the art of cultivation, which is closely related to one's own path, and like the Zhengyin method, unless you cultivate to a certain level, it is impossible to achieve perfection."

"I have fulfilled your conditions, and I can find the consummation-level miscellaneous arts."

Hearing this, Li Wuyou smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

……

The night is not gone, the morning is coming,

Li Wuyu carried a long stick forged from a hundred refined irons and walked in the night.

Looking at the city defense team composed of one hundred and thirty-six felons in front, there was no worry or panic before the battle.

Instead, there was a faint eagerness and excitement in his eyes,

"I hope that this defense of the city will allow me to collect a few more exercises."

"Those monks should always know one or two great success methods, right?"
