Chapter 12: The Capture

Mu Qing was brought into the prison again, the door of the basement floor opened, and the prisoners thought that a new companion had arrived, so they all got closer to watch, and when they saw the iconic shackles, they all lost interest again, turned around and went back to rest against the wall.

Mu Qing was looking at this prison for the first time, because it was underground, the sun could not shine, except for a few lights hanging on both sides of the passage, the rest was very dark, and as the temperature outside rose, the inside gradually became more humid and stuffy. By the light on both sides, the railings with the thickness of the forearms glowed faintly, and it looked unusually sturdy, but of course it was. Because the light was very dim, most of the prisoners sat with him on their backs, Mu Qing couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, and then he was dragged down the second basement floor by the jailers.

At this time, the magic circle on the second floor of the underground has been opened, and the walls, floors and railings on both sides are glowing with a faint light, Wu Shan walked to the door of the nearest cell, took out the key to release the magic trick, and opened the prison door, and several jailers behind secretly shouted a few trumpets, and then made a concerted effort, directly threw Mu Qing in, splashing a large piece of dust, everyone didn't expect this to be the result, they waved their hands and held their breath, Wu Shan scolded them a few words, quickly closed the prison door, and then left in a hurry with the jailer. Because there will be prisoners leaving for the county town in the afternoon, Mu Qing is definitely among them, and his state at this time is difficult to make any waves, after opening the formation formation, it is difficult for ordinary monks who refine qi and transform gods to escape, in order to avoid trouble, Wu Shan put him on the second floor of the basement. Several people hurriedly went out, flipped through the case books, and searched for prisoners.

The second-floor underground cell should have not been inhabited for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the stone slabs inside, Mu Qing accidentally sucked it when he was thrown on the ground, choking him and coughing a few times, secretly cursing those immoral jailers in his heart. When the dust settled, with the light emitted by the ground formation, he saw that there were a few subtle claw marks on the stone slab in front of him that had been knocked off by him, revealing his true face, and there was still a faint familiar breath in it. The walls and even the hard railings left his familiar demonic aura, he turned his head to look in, although the entire prison floor was much smaller than the above, but there were more than a dozen cells, seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful and frightened--such a cell, how many Nanshan monsters were imprisoned back then?!

After Mu Qing was handed over and imprisoned, the previous silence in the military palace hall was gone, the officers exchanged heads and talked about each other, and Wang Ping and several military marquis also got up and talked with Captain Li Qian.

"I didn't expect that there was a demon king living in seclusion in small Nanshan County, and I didn't expect it to be a rui beast cunning, if the demon king is still here, I will report it, Your Majesty will definitely send important ministers to invite, and it will be a great achievement for me to wait at that time." It's just a pity......" A military marquis was still shocked by the previous secrets, and sighed with some regret.

"It's really a pity that this matter is a pity, and we have to send someone to report to the court with a communication formation later. It's just that why did the wood demon speak wildly before, could it be that he found us?" the other marquis thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke.

Li Qian, who was supporting his head with his arm and closing his eyes and meditating, raised his head and said to the military marquis: "That wood demon has a strong divine sense, I'm afraid he has already discovered us, the reason why he told the secret of a hundred years is probably not only to correct the name of the Nanshan monster, but also to remind us to pay attention to guarding against the northern monsters, without the Nanshan Demon King as a barrier, I am afraid that the northern monsters have already been gearing up and preparing to invade the south." As for his previous sudden change of words, I am afraid that he found someone who was also spying on, and that person was very familiar with him, and it was likely to be the real culprit of the Sun Mansion extermination case. ”

"No wonder the captain said in public that the real murderer had run away, and he wanted to apply for the court lieutenant to send someone to take over, and he also sent someone to send the prisoner into the county town, it turned out to be to paralyze the real murderer, and then capture them in one fell swoop when he rescued the wood demon. ”

Li Qian squinted his eyes and sighed: "I'm afraid that the real murderer is not here to save people, but to kill people." The wood demon was seriously injured when he was discovered, and in this case, it was impossible for him to escape from the Sun Mansion, and he could only be injured like this if he was attacked again after he left the mansion. And the wound was on the chest, the wood demon did not resist, he could only say that he was familiar with the real murderer, and he didn't expect the other party to kill him at all. The real murderer did not escape from the county after the murder, and left no traces, I am afraid that he is quite familiar with this place. He was secretly watching, just afraid that he wanted to check the status of the wood demon, and he was likely to strike again. Whether it is successful or not, it depends on this trip to the county town. ”

After speaking, he slapped the table, got up and walked towards the backyard, complaining as he walked: "Those ministers of the imperial court are really grinding, they have already sent the county commander in charge of civil affairs to come over, and then use me to get involved in this matter, even if a county lieutenant who specializes in torture and arrest of thieves is sent over, I am afraid that he would have already found clues about the criminals, so how can he use the school lieutenant to spend so much effort to arrest him." The captain of this school is here to fight, not to be a civil official....... Don't be idle, go and see if the patrol is coming, I said that I arrived before noon, and I haven't seen a trace until now......" At this time, he spoke and walked with a big grin, completely lost his usual rigorous military style, and got rid of the ruffians and hooligans in a remote county, of course, in this world, the ruffians are not good, the locals are strong and strong, and one will be beaten if he is not careful, so I advise the brother who crossed over to this place: pretend to be cautious, and the grave is deep.

The officers had been under him for a long time, and had long been familiar with his style and habits, and they were not surprised by this, and they looked at each other and smiled, and they all got up and left.

Since entering the cell, Mu Qing's mood is very low, the whole prison is silent, if it weren't for his chest rising and falling from time to time, I'm afraid it would make people think that there is no living person here, until a loud bang broke the silence here, the prison door opened, and Wu Shan came in with the military marquis Wang Ping and a group of soldiers and dragged Mu Qing away.

The law and order in Nanshan County is very good, and Wen Wuwu, who is in charge of reviewing the case file, has been thinking about it for a morning, and in the end, only Mu Qing and two prisoners, one tall and one short, were sent away. The burly prisoner was a young man, dressed in a tattered linen prison uniform, his body was dirty here and there, his greasy hair curdled on his head, tied with a strip of fine cloth, probably in the darkness of his cell for a long time, the man's bulging skin was a little white and tender, his body was very strong, especially his pair of thick and powerful arms, which were much longer than those of ordinary people, and his face was full of dust and oil stains, which looked vicious, but on closer inspection, he was a little handsome. The man saw Mu Qing looking at him, his expression looked a little unhappy, he glared back viciously, and his mouth was still shouting: "Look at you, look at it again, look at Lao Tzu again, and smash your head to the ground!" The man thought that Mu Qing would say something, but he didn't expect Mu Qing to just smile at him, and then turn his head to look at other things, which made him feel shocked, and his shackled arms waved unhappily, looking from a distance, he looked like a tall ape. The short prisoner was dressed like him, and when he came out, he crouched silently aside, not making a sound, just waiting for the departure of the journey.

Because the trip was quite far, the soldiers no longer dragged Mu Qing forward, so they removed the heavy flail and replaced him with special shackles, so that he could get up and walk, but there was still a dark iron ring around his neck, which was said to be made to prevent the prisoners from attacking and escaping. The iron ring that was not heavy was hung around his neck like this, Mu Qing didn't feel too much discomfort, and with the order of the military marquis Wang Ping, who led the team, everyone got up one after another and slowly walked towards the south gate.

Mu Qing was seriously injured and did not heal, his steps were a little staggering, and when he walked to the mouth of an alley, he seemed to have touched something, and fell to the ground with a "bang", although the tall prisoner on the side looked vicious, but his heart was good, seeing him fall, he hurriedly reached out to pull, but was stopped by the soldiers on guard, and the soldiers on the side reached out to pull Mu Qing up. Mu Qing hurriedly thanked him, and then the team continued to set off. The short prisoner was silent the whole time, his face gloomy, his eyes blinking a few times from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

After everyone walked a long way, a somewhat emaciated figure walked through the alley, when he passed the place where Mu Qing fell, a flower quietly opened on the mud on the side of the road, and quickly withered, turning into a little dust, the man glanced at it, froze for a moment, and then walked away quickly, moving forward in the direction where Mu Qing and they were walking.

After walking under the scorching sun for a while, Mu Qing and the others finally arrived at the south gate, and after a short handover, the officer guarding the gate waved and let them go. Passing through the long, shady doorway, the crowd was bathed in the dazzling sunlight again.

The procession walked on the narrow suspension bridge, the sun shining on the wide moat, and from time to time the swaying water reflected the light and shadow on the faces of the walking sergeants and prisoners, so that they could not help but close their eyes to cover them. When the three prisoners, two tall and one short, walked to the middle of the drawbridge, a bright light flashed, and the drawbridge split in two, and everyone fell into the water.

The officers and non-commissioned officers who escorted the city swam towards the river one after another, and the commander who defended the city also sounded the siren and led the people to rush towards the river. The short prisoner who had been silent all the way suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he dived into the water in an instant when he fell into the water, and soon appeared on the other side of the city gate, running quickly into the distance, and the soldiers behind him were probably familiar with him, dragging heavy armor while chasing and shouting at him: "Yue Laosan, stop quickly, otherwise you will die!"

Na Yue Laosan ran extremely fast, his figure was getting farther and farther away, and he could still be heard shouting from a distance: "If I stop, I will have to go to Xianyang to labor, I won't live long when I get there, it's better to fight to the death here." ”

Suddenly, there was a "bang" in the distance, Yue Laosan's head shattered into debris in response, his body still maintained a running posture, and he rushed forward for a while before falling to the ground. The soldier behind paused for a moment, ran over quickly, took the shackles from his body, and carefully checked before turning back.

Wang Ping, the military marquis who led the team, was standing on the shore at this time, and his hands were still in the posture of pinching the trick to cast spells, but his eyes did not look at Yue Laosan's side, but looked at the churning river indifferently, and was silent.

The moment he fell into the water, the tall prisoner rushed to Mu Qing's side, waved his hand and wrapped the short knife with a chain, and then directly broke free of the shackles, and fought with the rushing black shadow, causing the river to continue to roll. The black shadow cultivator was not as good as the tall prisoner, and he smashed it under the water, and he couldn't help but retreat a long way, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, and he saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned around and fled. The tall prisoner didn't chase after him, grabbing Mu Qing and jumping onto the riverbank.

As soon as he got on the river bank, someone next to him handed over a longbow and a quiver, the tall prisoner threw Mu Qing aside, stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow, the ape's arm skyrocketed, pulled the bow and arrow, pointed to the river and closed his eyes for a while, suddenly let go of the shot, and then didn't look at the result, stretched out his hand and quickly took out the long arrow, "Boom" A few arrow shadows flashed, the tall prisoner stood with his bow together, he casually threw the bow and arrow to the soldier on the side, pointed to the direction of the arrow just now and said to the military marquis Wang Ping who rushed over: "You take someone down and get him out for me." ”

Wang Ping responded to the order, waved his hand and led the person to jump into the water, and after a while, he dragged out a black-clothed person from under the water, whose limbs were pierced by long arrows, and he was unconscious.
