After the beggars woke up, their bodies were sore and weak, and they were in a stone room. Mo Wanhe reluctantly stood up and groped around. This stone room had no doors or windows, and there was only a two-foot round hole above the head.
Mo Wanhe woke up the others, but Tian Qiulan was nowhere to be seen. His heart tightened and he asked, "Why don't you see the eighth sister?" Gongsun Quan looked pale and thought for a while and said, "Brother Mo, maybe we were betrayed by the eighth sister." Zhang Zhang Chengyun stretched out his hand and pressed his head and said angrily: "What the hell are you doing to your mother? How could the eighth sister be such a person?"
Gongsun Quan looked at him and asked: "Everyone is here, but she is not. Why do you say he is not a traitor?" Liu Wanting said solemnly: "Gongsun Xiandi is right, maybe from the beginning, we were tricked This is her treacherous plot." Zhang Chengyun said: "We are not kind to her, why would she betray her brother?"
Gongsun Quan shook his head and said: "Perhaps she was poisoned or she had some information that fell into the hands of others and had to obey the orders of the Ghost Prime Minister." Mo Wanhe sat down cross-legged and said: "Now everyone has been poisoned , I don’t have the slightest strength in my body, and it’s probably harder to leave here than to reach the sky. Brother Gongsun, you always have the best mind, do you have a way to make everyone leave?”
Gongsun Quan raised his head and glanced at the round hole on the top, and said thoughtfully: "Brother Mo, this stone room has no doors or windows, only the round hole on the top of the head. From my point of view, in addition to ventilation, this round hole must have other uses. . If the other party wants to kill us, they can do it after we are poisoned, so why go to all the trouble to imprison you and me here. All we can do now is wait until the other party comes."
Not long after, a voice came from the round hole above the head. The voice said: "Heroes of the Beggar Clan, I invite you to come here. I have no choice but to make this move. I hope you will understand." Zhang Chengyun said angrily: "As big as your mother, Hai, if you have the ability to come out and fight against grandpa, how can you be considered a hero by using such despicable methods?"
The voice laughed and said: "Zhang Yingxiong should save his energy and let me finish my words." Zhang Chengyun was about to speak again. Mo Qianhe waved his hand to him and said to the round hole: "Unknown Sir, please treat us beggars." Why are you here?" The voice said: "Old Hero Mo is sensible. I invite you heroes here just because I want you to do something for me. After the task is completed, I guarantee that you will enjoy your glory and wealth to the fullest."
Gongsun Quan said: "I don't know what your Excellency wants us to do?" The voice said: "This matter is easy to say and difficult to say." Gongsun Quan said again: "No matter how difficult things are in this world, there will always be someone to do it. , Your Excellency, please tell me what is going on?"
The voice said: "I will tell you about this in the future. Now as long as you sign the papers, you can leave."
Mo Wanhe said: "It's really a joke. You think we are three-year-old children. We set up a document, and if you write anything on it, it means that if we didn't do it, you have to admit that we did it. If you want to commit treason, Why don't we lose our heads? If a person dies, everything will be clear. Even if there is glory and wealth, it has nothing to do with us."
The voice laughed and said: "Old hero Mo, if you stay here now, you will not die. For now, you might as well listen to what I say and save your life." Mo Wanhe puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Even if I die, , and will not be used by evildoers like you."
The voice said again: "Okay, then I'll come back in a few days to see if Old Hero Mo still has the guts." Following a burst of laughter, the round hole stopped talking. Mo Wanhe said: "Oh, it's all my fault that I fell into the opponent's trap and caused all the brothers to suffer. I feel so ashamed."
Gongsun Qian shook his head and said: "Brother Mo, this matter is also related to us. If we hadn't been chivalrous and wanted to take the bird treasure, we would have ended up here." Zhang Chengyun cursed: "God damn Tian Qiulan, we treat her so badly We are like brothers, but she secretly colludes with outsiders to plot against us. If I can get out, I will cut her into pieces."
Liu Wanting stroked his beard and said: "Brother Zhang, do you think we can still go out? The other party asked us to sign a document, so there must be some conspiracy. If we made a document and it said that we should conspire to kill the gang leader, even if we are still alive , I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold my head up again in the world from now on.”
Cheng Lixin sneered: "When I said a few words about her, you thought I was too talkative. Fortunately, I got it right. This thief was greedy and sold us out." Zhang Chengyun rolled his eyes at him and said angrily. : "Good guy, bad guy, integrity, loyalty, who the hell is written on your face? Don't think about it in hindsight. If you have the ability, you can find a way to let the big guy escape."
Cheng Lixin lowered his head and said: "What can I do?" Zhang Chengyun punched the wall and gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that I am really blind, and I have met such a white-eyed wolf." Mo Wanhe said: "Gongsun Xiandi , Now that things have happened, what do you think we should do?" Gongsun Quan scratched his head, and then said loudly: "There is nothing I can do." Although he said this, he pointed to the ground with his hand.
Mo Wanhe immediately understood that if he spoke to everyone here, the other party would definitely hear it clearly. He leaned over and saw what was written on the ground: "Let's agree to the other party for now, and we will think of something after we get out." Mo Wanhe also squatted down and wrote on the ground with his long nails: "If the other party asks us to identify the beggars, , isn’t there no place for us to stay?”
Gongsun Quan wrote: "When we go out, we will find a way to find the evidence and destroy it. Then we will try to unite the heroes to kill the Ghost Prime Minister. Then no one will know what happened today." Mo Wanhe wrote: "Then It’s better to just follow the plan than starve to death here.”
Mo Wanhe waved everyone to gather together, and then lowered his voice and said: "Everyone has just read clearly what Gongsun Xiandi wrote. We might as well respond to each other first. We will try to deal with them after we recover our skills. Do you have any objections? ?" Everyone nodded in acquiescence.
Mo Wanhe knew that there must be someone above the hole, and he immediately shouted: "Ask your master to come out, and we will promise him." As soon as he finished speaking, a square stone void appeared from the corner, and a bamboo basket hung from it. . A voice came from the hole above everyone's heads and said: "There is pen and ink in the bamboo basket. Please leave your name. After writing, just put it back in the bamboo basket."
Zhang Chengyun went to the bamboo basket, took out a pen and paper and handed it to Mo Wanhe. Mo Wanhe took the lead, and everyone wrote their names and placed them in the bamboo basket. Zhang Chengyun said: "We have written it." Everyone saw the bamboo basket rising slowly, and then the square hole closed on its own.
After a while, everyone heard a voice coming from above: "There are six iron rings on the wall behind you. If the six of you pull the iron rings together, you can leave this secret room." Everyone turned around to see that there was an iron ring on each of the three walls. Iron ring, embedded in the wall.
The six people each walked to the wall and pulled the iron ring together. Following the chirping sound, a five-foot-sized tunnel opening was revealed on the ground, with bright lights flashing below. Mo Wanhe said: "I'll go ahead, brothers, just follow me."
The six people walked forward along the tunnel and passed through a corridor, which was blocked by a stone wall. Just as he was about to turn around, an iron fence clanged down behind him. Zhang Chengyun shouted: "Are you fucking making fun of us?"
Gongsun Quan said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, have you looked at the protruding relief on the wall opposite?" Zhang Chengyun looked carefully through the flashing firelight on both sides of the corridor. There was indeed a ferocious figure carved on that wall. Earth skull.
Gongsun Quan walked into the wall, put two fingers into the skull's eye sockets, turned it to the left, and then heard a faint sound on the ground. He took a few steps back. The wall flipped over on its own, revealing half of it. After everyone passed through it one by one, they came to a hall.
A circular chandelier hangs from the top of the hall, and stone lanterns stand on the ground around it. The light was dim when everyone was in the corridor, but when they came here, their eyes were full of brilliance. There was a banquet table in front of everyone, and a person was sitting on a stone chair behind the banquet table. This man wore a blood-red mask and black silk robes. There were eight guards standing on each side in front of him, all with their backs straight and their hands on the handles of their swords.
Mo Qianhe walked in the lead, raised his hands and said: "We have given you everything you asked for, now you can give us the antidote." The person sitting on the stone bench said: "It is rare for heroes to come here. Everyone should sit down and talk first."
Zhang Chengyun said: "Sit down." He strode towards the wine table and everyone sat down. The masked man said: "I know that you are all heroes. What you hate most in your life is to be betrayed. Someone bring Elder Tian here." Although his voice was calm, it had a kind of majesty. As soon as he finished speaking, two men in black cloaks escorted Tian Qiulan forward.
Tian Qiulan had sesame walnuts stuffed in her mouth. When she saw the other six people, her face changed drastically and she made a whining sound. The masked man said: "Untie Elder Tian, the brothers and sisters of the Beggar Clan should sit together properly."
Tian Qiulan had to take off her hands and feet. Seeing the hatred in the eyes of the six people, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Please forgive me, sir. You ordered me to do this." The masked man said calmly: "But I also hate traitors." The muscles on Tian Qiulan's face trembled, she crawled forward and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, you have seen my loyalty, I...I..."
The man wearing the mask said: "The wine on the table is the antidote. If you want to live, beg them and see if they will be merciful." Tian Qiulan crawled to the wine table and cried. : "Brothers, little sister, I can't do anything. Please don't let me die."
Zhang Chengyun grabbed the wine bottle and drank a few sips, suddenly feeling that his limbs had gained strength. He lifted the wine bottle and dropped it to the ground. He laughed wildly and said: "Haha, Tian Qiulan, you keep calling us eldest brother, but you actually betrayed us. You know the rules of our beggar gang, betrayers shall be punished with death." The rest of the people also picked up the wine bottles in front of them, drank down the wine in one gulp, and stood He stood up and stared at Tian Qiulan.
Tian Qiulan stood up and looked back at the masked man, pointed at him and said, "It's you, everything is you." The masked man said calmly: "It's useless for you to hate me, because you will die soon." The other six people took action together. Zhang Chengyun and Liu Wanting each held one of her arms, while the Gongsun brothers punched her on the vest.
Cheng Lixin stretched out his hand to strangle her throat, and Mo Qianhe flew up and hit her Tianling Cap with his palm. The masked man clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you guys are really good at your skills. It's an eye-opener for me. The Beggar Clan is killing each other. If this gets out, I wonder if the six of you can still be the elders?"
Gongsun Quan suddenly woke up and said: "Brother Mo. We were only angry for a moment, but we were plotted by this person." Mo Qianhe said: "Now that our skills have been restored, we can fight out together." As soon as he took a step, he felt all around him. The strength disappeared again. He was trembling in his heart and said: "This... what on earth is going on?"
The man wearing the mask said calmly: "You did take the antidote, but the amount of the antidote is a little small, and it is only enough for you to kill Elder Tian." Zhang Chengyun spat: "Damn you, you are so cunning. ." The man said slowly: "Everyone, you'd better save your energy. You haven't done what I want you to do yet. Don't worry, I won't let you die.
When someone comes, take them down and lock each of them in a separate room. I promise that within ten days, you will all be at my mercy. Mo Qianhe said: "Don't even think about it. Even if I bite my tongue and kill myself, I won't be at the mercy of you evildoers." The man shook his head and said, "If you are tough now, you will know my methods in a few days." "
