Chapter Thirty-Eight: Don't Be Lazy if You Know It Early
Night, in the central area of Ice Hell City.
In the past, it was used as a place for the disciples of the Ice Hell City Gate and their families to live, and although the area was not as large as that of the outer city, it was also full of houses.
After the people of the Seven Holy Sect occupied this place, they did not change the original arrangement of Ice Hell City, and they also let the sect members live here as a barrier to guard the Ice Purgatory.
It's just that the Seven Holy Sect didn't bring their families here, although they were quite a few people, but after all, there were not as many people as there were people dragging their families, making this place look a little empty.
If it weren't for the large number of patrols, I'm afraid that this place would be a little quieter at night than the outer city with curfew.
A seven-man patrol team was following the route laid out above.
The seven of them yawned from time to time, looking around with slightly sleepy eyes to see if there was anything out of the ordinary.
As he walked, the last person in the line suddenly let out a "huh".
The other six people thought that something was going on, and their eyes suddenly widened and they drew their weapons, and the leader of the team said while being vigilant: "What's the matter? Did you find something?"
"No, no, no. The man saw that his companions had misunderstood, pointed to his stomach and said, "It's me who has a stomach!" Maybe I'm not used to eating food in the Central Plains. β
When they heard that there was no situation, the others were also relieved, and they didn't blame this person for being surprised, but they all showed a look of understanding, obviously they had all had similar situations, and they were not adapted.
"Then hurry up, we are waiting for you here. The leader said.
The man clutched his stomach and said, "It's okay, you can keep going, and I should take care of it when you turn back, and we can go directly to the changing of the guard." β
"You're going to be lazy. The leader of the team smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go quickly." However, if you are still squatting there when we turn back, we will punish you for drinking when we go back!"
"Good. The man waved his hand and motioned for you to go quickly, while he himself scurried around to find the back of an unoccupied house, and leaned back on it to rest.
In the past, when he was outside the plug, he rode most of the time, and this time the Central Plains changed to walking, which made him a little unaccustomed, and he was already tired after walking back and forth in the middle of the night tonight, and eating a bad stomach or something was just an excuse to be lazy and rest.
Yawning, the man patted his cheek and told him not to fall asleep, otherwise when they came back and found that he was sleeping, then his excuse would be found to be cheating, and he would be punished heavily.
Rubbing his legs and feet, the man was thinking in his heart about the time when those people came back from patrol, he couldn't go out late, otherwise he would be punished for drinking.
He is not afraid of drinking, he can drink as much as he comes, but if he buys wine for so many people to drink at his own expense, he feels pain when he thinks about it.
touched the money bag that was not bulging, and he also thought about saving more money and bringing some good things from the Central Plains to his daughter when he returned to the outside of the plug.
I was thinking about my origin, but suddenly I only felt a gust of wind blowing, and then I was clicked a few times on my body, and I couldn't move!
The man was startled, and subconsciously opened his mouth to shout, but his mouth was open, but the sound couldn't come out at all, and he knew that his dumb hole had also been pointed.
Only then did he see two masked men in black in front of him, one with his back to him observing the surrounding situation, and the other staring at him with cold eyes.
At this moment, he regretted it in his heart, what kind of lazy did he steal, now it's okay to be caught by someone who sneaked here!
Liu Yifan watched the expression on this person's face change, so he patted it and said, "Don't think about it, you only have two choices now." One is to answer my question honestly, and I'll give you a good time. One is that I use various methods to get you to say what I want to know. β
After speaking, without waiting for the man's reaction, he continued to ask, "Have you heard of Wei Zhongdao?"
Liu Yifan saw that the man did not react, so he took out a dagger from his arms, looked at the sharpness, and then gently brushed the blade around the man's neck, as if looking for the location of the knife.
"Wei Zhongdao, haven't you heard of it?"
The man shuddered at the coldness of the blade, and nodded his head to indicate that he had heard it.
"That's right. The knife in Liu Yifan's hand continued to slide, directly cutting through the man's clothes, and gently poked the tip of the knife at the position of the heart a few more times: "Do you know where Wei Zhongdao is in Ice Hell City now?"
Shake oneβs head.
"So do you know if he's in Icehell? Nod yes, shake your head to say no, wink to say you don't know. β
Still shaking his head.
"Are you sure he's not in Icehell?"
Nod.
"Okay. Liu Yifan took back the dagger, and when the other party thought that he could still live, he slapped his palm on the man's heart, and the internal force directly shattered his heart.
There would be too much bleeding with a knife, and it wouldn't be good if someone was attracted to the smell of blood before they had gone far.
"How is it?Is Wei Zhongdao in Ice Hell City?" Zhang Ning had been looking to see if any patrolling disciples of the Seven Holy Sect had passed by here just now, but he didn't see how the other party answered Liu Yifan's question.
"No. Liu Yifan replied.
"Not here?" Zhang Ning glanced at the Seven Saints Sect disciple who had never said a word, and said, "Could it be that it is not appropriate to ask such a question, in case they know something?"
Liu Yifan shook his head and said, "It's not far from the Ice Purgatory here, if you unlock their dumb holes, someone will take the opportunity to shout and be in trouble." β
"Let's start from the outer city, this is already the fourth person to ask, and the answer is exactly the same, I think Wei Zhongdao should really not go to Ice Hell City. β
After thinking about it, he said, "I think it may be that we are in too much hurry along the way, surpassing Wei Zhongdao." That's fine, if he really wants to save people tonight, we don't even have time to contact him. β
"Let's just go and see what's going on around the Ice Purgatory tonight, and we'll be waiting for him at the gates from tomorrow. β
When Zhang Ning heard it, she felt that it might indeed be the case, but she was a little anxious and ignored this, so she said: "Well, then let's go quickly, so as not to leave the inn for too long, there will be any changes." β
Liu Yifan hid the disciples of the Seven Holy Sect under the bed in the room, and followed Zhang Ning to continue to cautiously sneak towards the inner city where the Ice Purgatory was located.
Coming to the vicinity of the inner city, Liu Yifan and Zhang Ning looked at the scene in front of them, their brows locked.
The walls of the inner city are not only higher than those of the outer city, but the walls are also covered with thorny vines, and the scarlet thorns make people know at a glance that they are poisonous varieties.
In addition, there is only one gate to enter and exit, so it can be said that as long as the gate is guarded, no one can be rescued from the inside.
