Chapter 475
The footsteps gradually came closer, and the voices gradually became clearer.
"Old Li, how long do you think the new city lord can stay in Liangcheng?"
"I heard someone say that this Lord Hong Biao is just a captain in Songcheng, and he only has the strength of the ninth level of Starlight Realm."
Another voice rang immediately:
"Old Wang, please lower your voice!"
"It doesn't matter how powerful the city lord is or how long he can stay in our Liang City. As long as he is the city lord, we have to be afraid of him!"
The footsteps stopped outside the cell where Xiao Zhan was hiding, and the conversation between the two was obviously much quieter.
"Old Li, if you ask me, it would be better for us to become the city lord and give us an extra grain of star sand every month. It's a pity that he died."
"The person who killed him must be someone from Moyun World."
"Think about it, Lao Li, there are so many cities in our Qingyun Domain, but our Liangcheng captures the most people from the Moyun World."
"The people in Moyun World must have attacked the old city lord out of revenge."
Another voice sighed:
"Forget about the past. We are just two jail guards. What can we do?"
"It's enough to torture the dozen or so people from the Moyun World in the prison. We should be stricter at ordinary times. If someone comes to rob the prison like last time, it's okay if it fails. If it succeeds, maybe we two brothers will I’m going to lose my life.”
The two whispered for a long time before slowly leaving.
Xiao Zhan stood in the darkness, frowning as he recalled what the two said.
From the conversation between the two, Xiao Zhan learned that the reason why the people who came to rob the prison failed was not because of poor strength, but because they could not find the person they wanted to rob.
Because the previous city lord had already captured the people from Mo Yun World in advance and imprisoned them on the second underground floor of the Tianlao.
The second floor was built quietly by the previous city lord to imprison people from the Moyun World. The purpose was to prevent anyone from robbing the prison.
At the same time, outside the prison.
As soon as Lao Wang and Lao Li walked out, they saw a figure approaching slowly.
"City...Lord of the City!"
Both of their voices were trembling.
Hong Biao nodded and glanced at the two team members on duty who fell on the ground next to him.
Lao Wang and Lao Li also saw it. Their pupils shrank sharply. Just as they were about to explain that they had no knowledge, they heard Hong Biao say:
"I'm going to go in and interrogate a few people. I knocked them unconscious. Just pretend you didn't see anything. Go back and have a good sleep and forget what happened tonight."
After speaking, Hong Biao took out two grains of star sand and gave one grain each to Lao Wang and Lao Li.
The two took the star sand, nodded quickly, and left in a hurry.
In the prison.
Xiao Zhan walked quietly through the dark corridor and came to the end of the passage.
After searching for a while, Xiao Zhan found an extremely hidden tunnel entrance in the cell next to him.
After going down, I found that there was indeed a prison cell down there.
Each cell was obviously reinforced, separated by metal pillars as thick as an arm. In each cell, there was a person from the Moyun World imprisoned, a total of nearly fifteen people.
Although Xiao Zhan's steps were almost undetectable, he still woke up these fifteen people.
Fifteen eyes looked at Xiao Zhan in the darkness.
Xiao Zhan was not in a hurry to speak. He stood in the darkness for a full two minutes before lowering his voice and saying:
"How do you open the cell door?"
No one answered Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan asked again:
"How do you open the cell door?"
Still no one answered.
Just when Xiao Zhan was about to leave, a hoarse voice sounded from the side of Xiao Zhan:
"This cage is specially made. The key is in the hands of the city lord of Liangcheng. If you want to break it by force, you need at least the strength of the first level of Star Glory Realm."
"Also, who are you?
"
Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment and then said:
"If there's any problem, we'll talk about it after I rescue you."
"I'm going to steal the key now."
Another somewhat old voice said:
"You are too weak, don't die in vain."
Xiao Zhan's voice deepened: "But I can't just watch you locked up here and suffer!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhan turned around and left.
But as soon as he took a step, Xiao Zhan stopped, his aura surged violently, and then he slowly retreated back.
A figure appeared in the darkness.
"I felt something was wrong with you during the day. You really had other agendas."
Xiao Zhan said coldly:
"City Lord Hong Biao, I have something to discuss."
"The world of Moyun may not be your enemy."
"Yes, you are the city lord of Liangcheng now, but you should know that you won't be able to sit in this position for long."
"Instead of being an unimportant chess piece, why not cooperate with our Moyun World? You will definitely get much more than you do now."
Hong Biao sneered:
"Moyun World? Haha, even you, who is at the seventh level of the Starlight Realm, want to instigate rebellion against me, Hong Biao. Do you think too highly of yourself?"
"I really admire your courage."
After saying that, something clanked in Hong Biao's hand, and the next moment, he heard the cell door being opened.
But those fifteen breaths still stayed in the cell and did not come out.
A slightly childish but calm voice sounded:
"Password."
Hong Biao said in a deep voice:
"Ink flies on the paper, dots of black."
That childish yet calm voice said "Hmm", "The clouds are hanging in the sky, and they are all white."
"Take us out first and find a secluded place to stay."
"Also, bring this person from the seventh level of the Starlight Realm with you."
After saying that, fifteen breaths came out of the cell.
Hong Biao led the fifteen people towards the exit.
The person walking at the end pointed at Xiao Zhan, immediately locking all the power in Xiao Zhan's body.
Xiao Zhan frowned and followed these people away.
The exit of Tianlao.
Hong Biao looked at the fifteen figures and lowered his voice:
"I can't be exposed yet. You can leave on your own. If you need anything, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me."
"The people in the Territory Lord's Mansion must be keeping an eye on Liangcheng. We have all been more vigilant recently."
The fourteen figures all looked at the figure in front of them, who was completely covered in black robes.
This figure is very thin, and his voice is childish, but also calm: "Hong Biao, you are the city lord of Liang City now. If we disappear, the people in the Domain Lord's Mansion will definitely doubt you."
Hong Biao shook his head:
"I have made arrangements. In half an hour, someone will come to rob the prison. Among the people who come, there will be a star-level powerhouse."
The figure nodded: "That's good."
After saying that, he turned around and left with fourteen people.
He also looked at Xiao Zhan specifically and said slowly: "Follow me."
"There are too many eyes staring at Hong Biao. We cannot let him be exposed. From now on, we are not allowed to contact him again."
"Find a secluded hiding place first."
Xiao Zhan, who was following the team, said softly:
"I've rented a secluded place to stay."
Fifteen pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Zhan at the same time.
The shortest figure was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"You can go and have a look."
Liangcheng is quiet and eerie at night.
Especially after Hong Biao took office today, he not only conducted a search throughout the city, but also imposed a curfew.
This is convenient for Xiao Zhan and others.
back to and
Deng Xiaozhuang has been waiting for a long time in the alley agreed by Deng Xiaozhuang.
Seeing that Xiao Zhan was followed by fifteen people and the alley was packed, Deng Xiaozhuang immediately became vigilant.
Xiao Zhan said softly: "We are all our own people, don't be afraid."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan looked at the fifteen people again and explained:
"His name is Deng Xiaozhuang. He used to be a bandit in Shituo Mountain. Now he works with me. He is trustworthy."
Deng Xiaozhuang hugged everyone and then looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Brother, I have rented a place. There is a small courtyard on the edge of the West City. It is very quiet and there are not many people around."
Xiao Zhan nodded and immediately asked Deng Xiaozhuang to lead the way.
More than an hour later, everyone entered the West City and found a dilapidated courtyard.
Although the yard is dilapidated, it is blessed with the quiet surroundings and three tile-roofed houses.
Xiao Zhan asked Deng Xiaozhuang to boil some hot water, then looked at the fifteen people and cupped their fists and said:
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Zhan."
The small figure covered in black robes waved his hand, and the other fourteen people dispersed and began to check the surrounding situation. At the same time, they also chose their positions and hid themselves to observe the movements in all directions.
Xiao Zhan looked at the man in black robes in front of him, and then saw him lift his hood, revealing a green face.
This is actually a child who is only eleven or twelve years old!
Xiao Zhan was stunned.
A smile appeared on the child's face, very bright and sunny.
But his eyes held a maturity and stability that did not match his age.
"Don't be surprised."
The child looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile and asked softly:
"Xiao Zhan, how did you know that we were imprisoned in the sky prison?"
Xiao Zhan slowly shook his head: "I was hiding in Songcheng. Songcheng was searching for those of us from Moyun World, and I was almost caught."
"Then I quietly escaped to Liangcheng."
"After discovering that the chaos in Liangcheng was beyond imagination, I made a plan to break into the prison to save people."
"In fact, I had such a plan in Songcheng before."
"It's just that the defense of Songcheng Tianlao is too tight, and my strength is too low."
Having said this, Xiao Zhan sighed:
"Today the new city lord of Liangcheng came, and there was another attack. The whole Liangcheng was even more chaotic. I took the opportunity to break into the sky prison."
The child nodded, a flash of thought flashing in his eyes:
"The new city lord Hong Biao is also one of ours."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "If I knew this, I wouldn't be smart enough to break into the prison."
The child smiled and shook his head:
"You are brave, aren't you afraid of death?"
Xiao Zhan chuckled: "Who in the world dares to say that he is not afraid of death?"
The child nodded again:
"Then do you know my identity?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head: "I don't know."
The child said "Hmm" and said, "My name is He Lianqiu."
Xiao Zhan clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry."
A look of curiosity appeared on He Lianqiu's face: "Have you really heard of my name, or are you just being polite?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head: "To be polite."
He Lianqiu nodded: "You are quite honest."
"Where is your hometown?"
Xiao Zhan: "A very far away place, where are you?"
He Lianqiu looked at the night sky in the distance: "It is also a very far away place."
"Your name is Xiao Zhan, right?"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
He Lianqiu said "Yeah".
The next moment, a crystal clear bone knife suddenly slipped out of her sleeve. It was less than fifteen centimeters long, glowing with cold light. It was made of the bones of an unknown beast. It was just pressed against Xiao Zhan's body. Heart.
He Lianqiu looked up at Xiao Zhan calmly:
"I have never
Someone once said that he is from the world of Moyun. "
"My hometown is far away, but it is still in Tianlan World."
"You probably saved the wrong person."
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"But what password do you and Hong Biao have?"
The corners of He Lianqiu's mouth raised slightly, "Just because the password contains Mo and Yun, do you think we are from Mo Yun's world?"
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath.
"It seems that I have indeed found the wrong person."
"But actually, I am not from the Moyun world."
He Lianqiu nodded: "I see."
"Your acting skills are very good, but it's a pity that you know too little information."
"Remember, people in Moyun's world have six fingers on each hand."
Xiao Zhan was a little stunned and subconsciously looked at He Lianqiu's hand holding the bone knife. Sure enough, there were only five white and slender fingers.
Xiao Zhan sighed:
"So, you want to kill me?"
He Lianqiu shook his head:
"It depends on my mood."
