Zhilu said. He Xiaotian nodded helplessly and walked away.

Three days later, he did not come back as promised, and Wuqi and his party did not wait for half of He Xiaotian's figure from morning to midnight. Seeing that there was still about an hour to go until the next day, Nakorulu suddenly frowned, slapped the table angrily, and scolded: "This bastard boy! He must have taken the money and ran away directly, and he didn't help us at all." ”

After speaking, her face turned blue instantly, and after snorting coldly, her eyes looked directly at Wuqi. Wuqi looked back at Na Ke Lulu with deep frowns, and was speechless for a while. He Xiaotian had obviously made an appointment with himself, but now it was almost the fourth day, and he hadn't appeared yet, so Wuqi was really speechless to face everyone.

Although He Xiaotian had obviously lost the most to himself, he wasted three days in vain, and many bad things might happen to his master during these three days. But after Nakorulu lost two bags of valuable gold coins in vain, and made his friends wait for three days in the hotel for nothing, Wuqi was really a little unhappy, so he had to keep silent.

However, Wuqi was silent, and Xius understood his difficulties very well. Seeing that Na Ke Lulu was about to scold and accuse Wuqi again, she immediately persuaded her and said, "Okay, okay." Captain Lulu, don't talk about it.

He couldn't have expected this to happen. Besides, it was the result of all of us to discuss the situation by temporarily changing the plan to infiltrate and let He Xiaotian enter the city first to inquire about the truth. You voted on it at the time. Let's wait and see, maybe that kid will get into some trouble and waste a little time. You see, it's not tomorrow yet. ”

"That's good. Hearing Hughes's bitter persuasion, Nakorulu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

After this incident, the room was quiet again, and everyone calmly waited for He Xiaotian to appear. But two hours later, He Xiaotian still didn't appear.

At this moment, the time has exceeded the agreed deadline for more than an hour, and now, without Na Ke Lulu speaking, two blazing fires have appeared in Wuqi's eyes, and at the same time, Wuqi's heart has sunk even more, and his face is instantly gloomy and scary, just like a cloudy sky, which makes people feel an indescribable pressure.

"Looks like I'm really blind. I wasted three days with everyone for nothing, and it was all my fault. The next moment, Wuqi hurriedly apologized to his partners.

"Sluggs. You are mistaken. I'm not mad at you, I'm just mad at the thief. Seeing that Wuqi sincerely apologized, Na Ke Lulu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained.

Xius didn't say anything, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that the atmosphere between Wuqi and Nakorulu had eased again. Seeing this, Yun Zhihao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, looked at Wuqi and asked, "Then what ......is our next step?"

However, before he finished asking, he was interrupted by Wuqi and said, "Let's do it according to the original plan." It's still too early, let's go rest first, and wait until about seven o'clock in the morning, and then we will infiltrate Sword Saint City together as ordinary people. Since He Xiaotian's kid ran away, then we have to find out the whereabouts of the prison by ourselves. ”

"Good. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them nodded in agreement at the same time.

After more than six hours, it was finally seven o'clock in the morning. This time is the time when the gates of the city are opened in the four major directions of the east, west, south, and north of the city, allowing the people in and outside the city to travel to visit relatives or trade. From seven o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock in the evening, the gates of Sword Saint City were always open, but only at seven o'clock in the morning the guards were the most lax.

Because the number of people queuing up to enter and leave the city in the early morning was the largest, and it was the most difficult to investigate, Wuqi and his party successfully seized this opportunity, carefully mixed in the dense long line, and entered the Sword Saint City.

However, today's situation seemed to be a bit special, as soon as they entered the city, they found that there was no one in the streets or alleys, and the entire eastern area of Sword Saint City gave people a sense of desertion and desolation, as if no one lived at all.

But there are obviously many houses in the streets and alleys here, countless shops of all sizes, and even many shops have opened and opened their doors, but the strange thing is that there is no one inside, as if something big happened here suddenly, and everyone was scared away in an instant. ,

"It's weird. The coffee at this coffee shop is already brewed. Every cup of coffee here is still hot. This cup of coffee was even half drunk, how could there be no one left?"

After casually walking into a coffee shop, Wuqi looked around left and right, slowly walked past each table where the coffee was placed, and picked up a few of them at random, subconsciously glanced at a few times, and said suspiciously.

"That's right. It's weird. Even if these customers leave suddenly, it won't even be the boss, right?" Seeing this, Nakorulu quickly nodded in agreement and said.

Yun Zhihao and Xiusi glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and did not speak, but their faces instantly showed thoughtful expressions.

But after a while, the two of them couldn't figure out anything, so they could only shake their heads wordlessly. After walking out of the coffee shop, Wuqi pointed to a huge restaurant with a sign across from him and said, "Let's go and have a look on the other side." ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded at the same time and followed. In fact, this scene inside the East Gate of Sword Saint City not only made Wuqi and the others strange, but also made those ordinary people who had just entered the city very puzzled.

However, compared with Wuqi and his group, they saw that all the shops in the streets and alleys were open, but none of them were there, and their faces did not show the same look of doubt as Wuqi and his group, but all showed a look of greed and excitement.

Then, almost instantly, the men rushed in like locusts, frantically snatching everything in the shop as the cheers echoed in a chorus. The bold go straight to the empty banks on the streets, while the less daring ones choose the gold and silver jewellery shops that are quite small but not inferior to the banks.

As for the most timid part of the people, they did not dare to do these big things with unimaginable consequences, but just mixed with the large crowd of people, grabbed food and drink, and at most only robbed the gold coins from the counters of some small shop owners.

This scene happened quickly, and the speed of development was even faster, and when Wuqi and his party came out of the hotel with more puzzled faces, what greeted them was no longer a deserted and empty street. It's the crowded, almost the entire street.

It's just that these people are not the natives who live on this street, they are all outsiders who have just come in from outside the city with Wuqi. But at this moment, they are frantically looting shops, but they don't look like ordinary people who usually obey the rules, but like a group of wild wolves who are unscrupulous and do things recklessly.

However, the frenzied looting of these people did not last long, and was quickly suppressed by a group of soldiers in golden armor, and Wuqi and his party were lucky not to be taken away because they were not involved. However, looking at the begging and desperate eyes on the faces of the people who were beaten by the gold-armored soldiers, crying and screaming, and finally dragged away by death, Wuqi's heart suddenly felt a little emotional.

War is really not a good thing. Not only does it make people crazy, but it also breaks the bonds between people in an instant.

But his emotion had barely appeared, when he was interrupted by a young man running up and down the stairs on his right. The young man's expression was extremely hurried, and he happened to bump into Wuqi as he went downstairs, but he didn't even apologize, and ran directly in the direction of another street.

The young man was just an ordinary person, and he didn't care much about being hit, but when she saw this, she immediately frowned unhappily, grabbed a small stone on the ground and smashed it at the young man's back.

In fact, she only needed to take a light step to stop in front of the young man in an instant. However, at this moment, the surrounding gold-armored soldiers were still there, and it was not yet time to reveal their identities, so Nakolulu still chose to throw stones very rationally. Due to the fact that she usually throws fireballs, although her strength is not great, her accuracy is top-notch.

I heard a soft "bang" sound suddenly from the front, and the small stone thrown by Nako Lulu immediately hit the back of the young man's head, and the young man's body was turned upside down, and he immediately covered the back of his head with his hand, and instinctively let out a painful cry: "Oops!"

Then, he immediately stopped and looked behind him viciously. He was about to scold which bastard dared to hit Lao Tzu with a stone, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Na Ke Lulu's shocked face, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated like a cloud. ,

The next moment, as he hurried to meet him, a smile immediately appeared on his face. However, Nakorulu did not have a good impression of the young man's smile at all, but was extremely disgusted, and even pointed at the young man's nose angrily, and scolded: "What's the matter with you!

Hearing this, the young man nodded again and again to Wuqi, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm not good!" Then, he turned his head to look at Na Ke Lulu with shining eyes, and stretched out his right hand with bad intentions, wanting to strike up a conversation. But at this moment, his wrist was only halfway stretched out when he was suddenly firmly clasped by a pair of dark green big hands, like an iron hoop, and he couldn't move.

The young man was shocked when he saw this, but the next moment, an inexplicable anger surged from his heart. But before he could get angry, he immediately felt a pressure that he couldn't resist at all, as if Mount Tai was pressing on the top, pressing in an instant, and the opportunity pressed him so much that he couldn't breathe in an instant.

This feeling was very familiar to the young man, and he almost immediately remembered that he had felt this way before he had been caught and beaten by the group of golden-armored soldiers. As soon as he thought of this, his eyes were stunned, and he suddenly showed a fear that could not be concealed, and he lost his voice: "You are cultivators?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. However, Yun Zhihao on the side was not only not surprised, but immediately lowered his voice, revealing the third eye on his forehead, and said with a gloomy face: "If you dare to tell the truth about this, I will kill you immediately." ”

When the young man heard this, his body trembled and immediately nodded again and again, and at the same time, the original evil intentions in his heart were completely thrown out of the clouds by him at once, after all, it was still important to live.

Seeing this, Wuqi nodded with satisfaction, and hurriedly gave Xius a look to let the other party go, but when Xiusi let go as he wished, he suddenly thought of another thing. So, he hurriedly stopped the young man who had just run a few steps, and asked, "That's right." Do you know where the tightest prison is here?"

Hearing this, the young man hurriedly turned his head, without any hesitation, and shook his head again and again with a trembling body. After nodding slightly, Wuqi made a gesture to the young man to leave, and the young man's face immediately showed great gratitude when he saw this, but he had just turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Wuqi stop him behind him again.

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing I want to ask you. ”

Hearing this, the young man turned around again without hesitation, but his face was instantly sad, as if he had eaten a fruit that was more bitter than bitter gourd, and said pleadingly: "Little brother, can you ask all in one breath if you have anything." It scared me like this, I was almost scared out of my heart attack. ”

Everyone grinned at the same time when they heard this, but Wuqi didn't smile, he just took a deep breath, and then asked in a deep voice: "I want to know Lu Dao, the people on this street, why have they all disappeared? Where did they go?"

"That's what happened. When the young man heard this, his heart was relieved of his throat, and after he breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled forcefully and replied slowly: "They have all gone to the square in the center of the city." Early this morning, news was released in the imperial city that a thief who had been arrested for four years and had not been arrested would be executed at eight o'clock in the central square.

Every time a prisoner is executed, the audience is rewarded with a large amount of money, which is very considerable, more than the money earned in a year, so everyone will pass. I'm not going to go over now. If I hadn't overslept, I would have been the first to arrive. Don't you know, the first audience can get the most money, a full ten gold coins. ”

After saying this, the young man was afraid that Wuqi would not know that he was very short of time, and he deliberately sighed lightly, revealing obvious anxiety, trying to let Wuqi let him go quickly. But there was no surprise, but not only did he not let him go immediately, but frowned, and asked more suspiciously: "Thief? Do you know the name of that thief?"

"I don't know what to do. However, I have seen his wanted notice. It is a child, no more than twelve or thirteen years old. The figure is not only thin, but also yellow and thin. If his photo hadn't appeared on the wanted notice, I really doubt that the state had arrested the wrong person and how it would have put a picture of a child on it. ”

The young man said lightly, but he was suddenly startled when he heard nothing, and in an instant, he almost immediately thought of a name, He Xiaotian.

At the same time, not only him, but even Na Ke Lulu, Xiu Si and Yun Zhihao all thought of this name, and even Xiao Bai, who had already returned to his cat form and was resting on Wuqi's shoulder, suddenly appeared in his mind.
