Squeak! !
The sharp howl of the rat demon came from the dungeon.
There was constant blood flowing from the severed tail area.
The rat demon was severely injured, and regardless of the spiritual fruit, he crashed a wall and fled far away, quickly rushed out of the dungeon and disappeared.
Yun Que put away the knife, helped Mei Qian untie the rat tail, and put the rat tail into the black cloth bag he carried with him.
This thing is a rare material and can be sold at a good price.
"Half as good as me!" Mei Qian said with a grin.
"Don't worry, I won't forget you." Yun Que said.
The two jumped back into the hole.
Mei Qian took out a dagger and carefully cut open the wooden box.
There are four duck egg-sized fruits placed side by side inside, which are dark red in color and have a skin as hard as a pine cone.
As soon as the box was opened, a scent of vegetation mixed with a faint scent of blood immediately emitted.
"It is indeed a blood velvet fruit!"
Yun Que took away two of them without ceremony.
Mei Qian put away the remaining two pills with a sad look on his face. At this time, the captain looked like a resentful woman.
After spending more than half a year digging and risking his life to deal with the seventh-level rat demon, half of the benefits were obtained in the end.
No matter how much Mei Qian counts, he has lost a lot.
"The harvest is good, do you want to go have a drink?" Yun Que said with a smile.
"Drink for six! I have no money!" Mei Qian said angrily.
"Forget it if you don't want to drink. I'm asking you to do me a favor and take the princess and I out of the city." Yun Que said.
"If you can't get out, the city guard has issued an order to close the city for three days. Anyone who dares to let someone go privately will be punished by military law." Mei Qian refused with a stern face.
"Young Master, when did you, Colonel Mei, care about military law? Make a price, twenty taels is enough." Yun Que said.
"You can't get out even if you have two hundred taels! I can't help you with this. Fu Yi is a petty person. He rarely issues such military orders. Once he gives an order, he won't allow others to disobey him. If he finds out when I let you out, I won't let you go in Baiyu City." I want to gain a foothold again," Mei Qian said.
"I don't care where you stand. Anyway, you have to help me even if you don't want to help. Otherwise, you will be an accomplice to the death of the princess. You can calculate for yourself whether the consequences of disobeying the city guard will be serious, or the consequences of killing the princess will be serious. ." Yun Que said with a smile.
"Don't blame me! I'm just fulfilling my duty and obeying the general's orders. There is no merit or demerit. What does the life and death of the princess have to do with a little person like me?" Mei Qian snorted coldly.
"Since you are so unkind, I can only go back and persuade the princess to write a suicide note in advance and explain clearly everything that needs to be explained, such as who harmed her and who refused to help open the city gate. When the time comes, the King of Funan will Once settled." Yun Que said with a smile.
Mei Qian was dumbfounded and his eyes widened.
"There should be a limit to shamelessness! If you want to wade through troubled waters, do you have to drag me along with you!" Mei Qian said angrily.
"Because you are my friend. You are the only friend I have in Baiyu City. If I don't pull you, who will I pull?" Yun Que said.
Mei Qian gritted his teeth in anger.
If he hadn't been unable to defeat Yun Que, he would have wanted to crush the friend in front of him to ashes right now.
"It's useless even if I help you. All the dozen captains in the city have been mobilized to guard the city gates. As soon as the city gates are opened, someone will definitely notice it. Do you think you can hide this group of eighth-level warriors? ." Mei Qian said.
"Please think of a way. You have many connections in Baiyu City, so you must be able to accommodate." Yun Que said.
"They are all just colleagues. They should step on those who are in charge. No one will hesitate for a moment. I don't have such a deep friendship with them, let alone such a fatal matter." Mei Qian said in a deep voice: "Since the princess wants to leave the city, you can If you show your identity and no one dares to stop you, why go to all the trouble of being sneaky."
"If you don't tell secrets, you also know what the city has become now. Why did the city guard seal the city at this time? Don't you have some idea in your mind?" Yun Que said.
Mei Qian took a deep breath and said angrily:
"Yun Que, are you sick? Normally you would hide as far away as possible from such troubles. Why do you have to protect a princess this time? Do you have a crush on her? Don't forget that you are just a poor warrior!"
"Without identity, status, qualifications, and money, it doesn't matter what you want! You don't think you have a chance to be the consort, do you? She is the high-ranking Princess Lingyun, a member of the royal family! Even if she returns to the imperial city safely, she won't They take a fancy to low-level warriors like us!"
"Listen to my brother's advice, let it go, get out in time, and stay away from this place of right and wrong. From now on, we will still be good brothers. We should cheat people when we should, hunt monsters when we should, drink and drink when we should, there is a lack of everything in the world, but there is no shortage woman!"
Yun Que listened to Mei Qian's complaints with a smile, and waited for the other party to finish speaking before saying:
"I don't think as much as you think. Sending her home is a transaction. I have already received the benefits. I can't change my mind midway. I also want a reputation."
"What a shitty reputation! If outsiders had known what we two had done over the years, we would have become notorious, and this time is no different." Mei Qian said.
"She helped me find snake eggs." Yun Que said.
"Did I help you find fewer eggs than she did?" Mei Qian said angrily: "You can do the math for yourself, including bird eggs, snake eggs, and even monster eggs. How many have I found for you since we met!"
"Indeed, you helped me find a lot of eggs, but you didn't take away the money either," Yun Que said.
Mei Qian felt embarrassed and said in a deep voice:
"Let's not talk about Dan. If you have to risk your life to protect the princess because you like her, then you can't think of me as your friend! You Yun Que can go to Da Ai Wu Ya. I, Mei Qian, am very afraid of death. I'm sorry. I won’t accompany you!”
Yun Que chuckled and said calmly: "She is willing to die for me."
The annoyed look on Mei Qian's face solidified after hearing these few words.
After a while, Mei Qian let out a deep breath and said:
"I can only take you to the city gate. The city gate will definitely not be opened. You have to figure out how to get out."
"How can that be done? I don't know how to penetrate the door." Yun Que said.
"You can go up to the city wall, bring a rope, and climb out of the city when you have the chance. If you don't, jump out. When I came here, I saw additional guards on the city wall. There were a few unfamiliar faces among them. They were not soldiers from Baiyu City. You Be careful yourself." Mei Qian said.
"This is difficult to handle. If I jump out, I might not be able to fall to death, but if she jumps out, she will be smashed into a pulp."
Yun Que said helplessly, he knew that Mei Qian had reached his limit by reaching this point.
After all, he was just a captain guarding the city gate, with no authority at all. There were more than a dozen martial arts captains with Mei Qian's level in Baiyu City.
Even if the guards on the city wall are dealt with and Mu Qingyao successfully escapes from Baiyu City, the news will still leak out and the Red Lotus Sect will still follow them.
When he was wondering how to get out of the city, a third voice appeared in the cave.
"I-I have a way out of the city!"
The voice was hoarse and old, and it appeared extremely suddenly.
Unexpectedly, Yun Que and Mei Qian drew their swords together and stared at the source of the sound.
The sound was coming from the mound next to it, and a hand was exposed outside the mound.
When he saw the hand, Yun Que immediately thought of the other party.
When I entered the deepest cell of the dungeon, there was an unkempt corpse inside.
Then the floor of the cell collapsed with Mei Qian's sword energy, and the body also fell into the hole.
It turned out that it was not a corpse, but a living person!
Yun Que dug him out of the mound in a few strokes.
His voice sounded old, but he was actually not too old.
He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, skinny as a stick, and his hair was stuck together after not being washed for countless years. He looked like a skeleton. If this person didn't speak, he would be no different from a dead person.
Mei Qian's face turned very ugly at this moment, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes.
"You do it, or I do it."
A cold light appeared on Mei Qian's blade.
He and Yun Que had just talked a lot, and if the information was heard by outsiders, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Yun Que, on the other hand, didn't care. He squatted in front of the other party and said, "Tell me how you can get out of the city."
"The city gate is made of wood, right?" The slovenly middle-aged man asked a strange question.
"Nonsense, is it an iron gate?" Mei Qian said coldly.
"It's just wood! I can carry two people through it." The middle-aged man vowed.
"Pass through the door? Haha." Mei Qian sneered: "If you know how to pass through the door, why should you be locked up in the dungeon? You can leave at any time, close your eyes, and I will send you back to the west right now."
"No, no, no! I'm not telling lies! I can only go through the wooden door, no matter how thick it is. There is an iron door in the dungeon, I can't get out! Please take me out of the city with you, I'm locked up in this hellish place It’s been too long.” The middle-aged man begged.
"Don't believe his lies, there are many such sharp-tongued guys in the dungeon." Mei Qian said and was about to take action.
"I can prove it! All it takes is a wooden door!"
After the middle-aged man hurriedly begged, Yun Que stopped Mei Qian.
"Okay, I'll take you out for a try. If you don't tell lies, you can help me get out of the city, which will be of great benefit to you," Yun Que said.
"Don't worry, uncle! I never lie. Hey, I just need some money. I'm not greedy." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Mei Qian frowned, put away the knife, and glanced at Yun Que.
That look in his eyes was obviously warning Yun Que that even if such a person could be used, he would immediately silence him after he left.
Yun Dian nodded and said nothing.
The three of them left the dungeon.
After Mei Qian went out, he separated from Yun Que and said he was going back to the city gate.
Yun Que took the prisoner to find a big tree nearby.
"Try it."
Yun Que held the knife and said with a smile.
The guys locked in the deepest part of the dungeon are basically death row prisoners. If the other person tells lies, Yun Que doesn't mind sending him to see the King of Hell immediately.
The middle-aged prisoner stood in front of the tree, stretching out his hands and swinging them wildly, like a wandering Taoist priest doing something.
No matter how you look at it, it's all a lie.
After shaking his hands for a long time, the middle-aged prisoner stood upright.
Yun Que thought that the other party was going to show off and recite some incantations, but the other party crashed into a big tree.
The next moment, the middle-aged prisoner's body strangely merged into the tree and came out from the other side!
Pass through the trees!
No spells were cast, no incantations were recited, just straight through.
Yun Que was greatly surprised.
What the opponent cast was definitely not a spell, because there was no energy fluctuation.
When monks cast spells, most of them have to use the magic spell to mobilize the breath of heaven and earth, but this one did nothing. After shaking his hand, he went straight through the tree.
What ability is this?
Yun Que didn't have time to think too much, so he took the other party out of the dungeon area and found an abandoned house with no one around.
The door of the house is dilapidated and only half of it remains.
"Take me through with you," Yun Que said.
The middle-aged prisoner said yes repeatedly and pulled Yun Que through the door of the house.
When he arrived at the house, Yun Que looked back at the motionless broken door, feeling overjoyed.
With this guy here, as long as you reach the city gate, you can pass through the city silently!
