With the plan in place, the most important thing now is to find the children who have been captured by the Red Lotus Sect and make sure that they are not harmed before the people of the imperial court arrive.

Chu Fan asked Li Qingfeng, wanting to get some news from him.

"Go inside, I've seen them pass by with the newly kidnapped children, there may be cages inside for those children, you have to be careful, there should be people guarding inside. ”

Chu Fan nodded, letting Li Qingfeng continue to wait here, while he walked towards the depths of the stone prison.

There are a total of eight rows of stone prisons outside, only a few of them are in a gabion, most of them are more than a dozen people crammed into a cage, the people of the Red Lotus Sect don't care about their lives or deaths at all, many people are scarred, lying on the ground dying, and their bodies don't care if they are stepped on.

At the end, there was another stone door, Chu Fan tried to open it with Nie Xue's key, but it was successful, pushing open the stone door, a thin man with shiny eyes suddenly jumped out.

Seeing Chu Fan with a black mask, the thin man was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly half-knelt down to salute.

"Subordinate Li Sangui, meet the deputy helmsman. ”

Bite~

Name: Li Sangui

Attribute: Evil (28)

Identity: Jailer of the Red Lotus Sect

Combat Power: 167 (129+38)

Health: 55 (45+10) Attack: 38 (24+14) Speed: 19 (15+4) Defense: 20 (15+5) Internal Force: 35 (30+5)

The man was shirtless, dark-skinned, and holding a sharp fork, like a hell of an imp.

"I'm here to make rounds, and you keep watch here, and don't let anyone in. ”

Li Sangui obviously showed a hint of hesitation, but he didn't dare to say anything, and let Chu Fan enter.

The same cage as the outside, but there were one child after another in it, Chu Fan walked in and heard their noise.

"Don't make any noise, my little ancestor!"

A figure appeared and shouted angrily at the noisy children, but in exchange for the children's laughter.

Bite~

Name: Li Ergui

Attribute: Evil (27)

Identity: Jailer of the Red Lotus Sect

Combat Power: 173 (135+38)

Health: 57 (47 + 10) Attack: 40 (26 + 14) Speed : 21 (17 + 4) Defense : 20 (15 + 5) Internal Force: 35 (30 + 5)

This is a man who looks very similar to Li Sangui, shirtless, holding a black knife in his hand.

"Lord Blackwind, you're here. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chu Fan nodded, and understood in his heart why Li Sangui would let him in, it turned out that there were still people guarding here, maybe there was not only Li Ergui.

"Look at these kids, they're so noisy, they're not obedient at all. ”

Li Ergui shook his head and smiled helplessly, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, if he didn't know, he would think that he was the parent of these children.

Chu Fan glanced at Li Ergui coldly, he didn't believe that this wicked person with only 27 points of good and evil attributes would have any kind of love for children.

The other party couldn't see Chu Fan's expression through the mask, so he responded with a smile.

Chu Fan looked at these children, they were cleanly dressed, and there were no signs of abuse on their bodies.

Seeing someone approaching, there was no uneasiness on his face, as if he had adapted to life here, and many children poked their heads out of the cracks in the stone pillars and chatted with their partners on the side.

It seems that the children are quite comfortable here, they are not afraid of being in a cage at all, maybe they are used to it, and everyone seems to be at ease.

But this did not alleviate Chu Fan's worries, the Red Lotus Sect would never be kind enough to raise children for these ordinary people.

Steward Hu said that the Red Lotus Sect captured these children to refine the elixir, but Chu Fan always felt that Steward Hu, as a deacon, should not know the secrets of the Red Lotus Sect, this matter may not be so simple, they must have even more ulterior secrets.

It's just that this secret, as the deputy helmsman, 'Black Wind' must know, Chu Fan can't ask Li Ergui, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the other party.

"Yo, what's wrong with the little girl?"

Li Ergui ran to a cage and held the child's hand, looking very anxious.

The child's hand didn't know where it touched, and it scratched a little skin, Li Ergui looked flustered, and hurriedly took out the golden medicine, and glanced at Chu Fan behind him.

After bandaging the child, Li Ergui ran to Chu Fan and knelt down suddenly.

"At the moment of the sacrifice, this child actually saw blood, his subordinates were derelict in their duties, and I ask the adults to forgive their sins!"

Sacrifice?

Chu Fan frowned, is this what they are looking for these children? Isn't it for refining medicine? What is going on?

Chu Fan didn't show any abnormality, and said coldly: "Get up, take strict care, don't have any more accidents." ”

"Yes. ”

Chu Fan patrolled alone in the gabion, checking their identities one by one, among which he saw the son of the shopkeeper Li, Li Xiaoliang.

He is as fat as his old man, and he is sitting on the ground and gnawing on chicken legs.

Let them stay here first, and when the court people come, I will kill these guards, guard here, and rescue them.

Chu Fan planned to do so, but he didn't see Qi Wan'er when he turned around.

"Could it be that Qi Wan'er is not here?"

Chu Fan roughly counted, there were about two hundred children here, mixed men and women, which was enough for the ninety-nine pairs they needed.

The children in the gabion were only eleven or twelve years old, and Qi Wan'er was already sixteen, which was obviously different from these children.

Could it be that Qi Wan'er was not among the ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls? What other purpose did they have for kidnapping Qi Wan'er?

Worried about Qi Wan'er's safety, Chu Fan summoned Li Ergui and asked sharply.

"Here, is there one missing?"

The indifferent voice made Li Ergui startled a spirit, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

He didn't know how the co-helmsman 'Black Wind' checked, but he had obviously just checked it, how could it be less?

These children will be severely punished for scratching their skin, let alone losing one, and their fate will be worse than death.

"The adults are aware of it, and the little ones will count it several times a day, and there are ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls, and the little ones will definitely not steal food!"

"Steal it!"

Chu Fan's eyes widened, looking at Li Ergui, and his heart was shocked.

This group of people is even more inhuman than they imagined.

"Show me the roster of all the children. Chu Fan said lightly.

Li Ergui took out a roster, which was full of names, more than two hundred, but many names were crossed out.

The remaining names are exactly one hundred and ninety-eight, corresponding to ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls.

But on the last page, there is a separate name.

Qi Wan'er!

Separated from the names of ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls, this shows that Qi Wan'er is special.

Li Ergui saw Chu Fan focusing on the last page, and suddenly thought that 'Black Wind' had gone out on a mission before, and perhaps he didn't know the arrangement of the helmsman this morning, so he whispered,

"My lord, the Holy Maiden has been taken away by the helmsman, and she is no longer in the stone prison at this time. ”
