In fact, the two guards were both third-level martial arts cultivators, but in their eyes, Lu Yunyou and the others were just goods that could be disposed of at will. There was no sympathy or even a trace of emotion in their eyes.
Under the gaze of the three people, the three people quickly finished two plates of food mixed with Ruanjin Powder, and then drank the poisonous water soaked in Ruanjin Powder in front of them. After eating and drinking, the three of them were satisfied. He collapsed directly to the ground, looking satisfied.
Jun Wucheng said before that the dosage of Ruanjinsan in this last meal was larger, but Lu Yunyou didn't mind at all. In order to make Ling Yun and Jun Wucheng eat less, he snatched most of the food, and only the bastard He didn't compete with the other two for the Ruanjinsan soup. After eating and drinking, he just wanted to lie down and take a nap.
After seeing all three of them collapsed, the three guards simply packed up their things and turned around to leave. As soon as they left, Jun Wucheng told them to wait for the guards to come and take them away.
In the past day, the martial arts cultivators who were looking for Lu Yunyou everywhere outside Dilong City still found nothing. No matter how they searched every corner, Lu Yunyou and the two of them seemed to disappear out of thin air without any trace.
After searching for several days, many martial arts cultivators were ready to give up, but some people still refused to give up and continued to search near the Tianxuan Mountains. Among them was Zhou Long and his group, who sold Lu Yunyou and Ling yesterday. After the transport, Zhou Long and others went back to prepare, and before noon, all eight people set off on horseback.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Long and others met Hong Ying and others on the way. When they saw Brother and Sister Zhang Rende among them, Zhou Long and others only thought that the five of them had found their companions, and did not dare to go and look for them at all. Troublesome, and they had no idea that Lu Yunyou and Ling Yun would be members of the Panshi Escort Bureau.
It was not until three days later that Fatty Li talked about how many people were looking for Brother Zhang Rende that night. Zhou Long and others realized that Lu Yunyou and Ling Yun might be the people the martial arts cultivators were looking for. Unfortunately, by then Lu Yunyou and the others had already After being escorted away, it would take several days for them to return from the Tianxuan Mountains and pursue Lu Yunyou and others, so Zhou Long and others gave up the idea of pursuing them.
As for Hong Ying and the others, since they did not have the whereabouts of Lu Yunyou and the others, they could only continue to return the same way. During the return trip, they encountered so many martial arts escorts that they did not encounter any danger.
Putting aside the situation of Hong Ying and others, Lu Yunyou and the others were escorted out by those people shortly after finishing the meal. According to the person responsible for escorting them, they were to be sent to Shishi, a few hundred miles away from Dilong City. There is a mine in the ancient mountain range that is in need of a lot of labor.
There were dozens of other martial arts cultivators who were sent to hard labor together with them. I don’t know why, but now they are all in the same situation, and it seems that the others are in worse condition than them. All of them have yellow faces and thin skin. He said that most of them were in rags and looked no different from the beggars on the roadside. Some of them even had unhealed wounds on their bodies, and it looked like they had been beaten severely in the dungeon.
When setting off, everyone's wrists, including the three of them, were shackled. When they were sent out of Dilong City in a carriage, the escorts connected them with long chains, and the various restraints were added. Not to mention resisting, some weak people have difficulty even walking normally.
After arriving at a deserted area, the escorts kept waving their whips at them, just to urge them to go faster.
Dozens of people were walking forward non-stop. If they were slow, their skin might be torn. In order to avoid suffering, Lu Yunyou kept following Jun Wucheng's pace.
It was several hundred miles southward. During the journey, many people were tired and hungry. Fortunately, in order to make them go faster, the escorts occasionally let them rest for a while and gave them some more steamed buns and water. , so that they can replenish their physical strength in time. Of course, the steamed buns given by those people are never enough to fill their stomachs. Since getting off the carriage, it is very common for them to not eat or drink well, and their stomachs grow loudly from hunger.
There was a high-level martial artist on horseback in front of the team. He was the person responsible for the escort mission. He was tall and powerful, and he almost didn't look back at Lu Yunyou and the others along the way. Most of the other escorts were fifth-level martial arts cultivators. In total, Sixteen people, the overall strength cannot be underestimated.
Even if Lu Yunyou and the others were all healthy and resisted those people together, the chance of success in the end would be extremely small. Now because of the influence of Ruanjinsan, there was no possibility of facing the enemy.
Among the people who were escorted to hard labor with the three of them were second-level to fifth-level martial arts cultivators, but not a single sixth-level martial arts cultivator could be seen, because the sixth-level martial arts cultivators had barely touched the threshold of high-level martial arts cultivators. It is more difficult for them to become prisoners, and even if they can, those people will not send people to mine because it will be more valuable to use them elsewhere.
Along the way, the team did not pass through those cities, and when they occasionally encountered martial arts cultivators on the road, no one meddle in their own business. Many people who were looking forward to being rescued had their expectations failed.
Traveling hundreds of miles a day, even though the physical conditions of Lu Yunyou and the others were not serious, they still looked sad. Originally, escorting these martial arts practitioners who had taken Ruanjin Powder did not require much manpower, but in fact there were more than a dozen martial arts cultivators. , there is also a high-level martial arts leader. Even if the physical condition of the three of them is completely normal, it is difficult to escape under their noses, not to mention that their hands are still bound by shackles.
Dozens of hard laborers lined up in three lines. The entire line was more than ten meters long. There were several women in front of them. They were the people who were asked by the mine to be sent to serve them. When resting on the road, those women were often bullied by the escorts. The situation It was so pitiful that Lu Yunyou thought about it many times.
But after seeing the strength of the escorts, he could only feel angry in his heart and could not do anything. Being in the middle of the queue, his mood became heavier and heavier. Judging from the current situation, their escape plan would be postponed indefinitely. , not even sure when there will be a chance to escape.
Since they often walked on remote and desolate roads, Lu Yunyou also saw that the road where they were sent to be forced to do hard labor was not safe. Otherwise, there would be no need for so many manpower to escort them. Moreover, since they were sent out of the city, they had only weeds to accompany them along the way. Not a single bird could be seen, and the desolation was frightening. Coupled with the weather getting colder and colder, the feeling of increasing fatigue made him feel that he was not as comfortable as staying in that smelly cell.
From early morning to dusk, there was very little pause in between. On the night of the third day, after the escorts asked them to stop and rest, everyone was directly surrounded by the escorts. After throwing some steamed buns to everyone, the escorts were busy Make a fire to cook.
There was no need to do it himself. Those women who were caught from nowhere were still responsible for their food. While cooking, they were molested by those people. The miserable condition of those women made Lu Yunyou sympathize more and more, but he still couldn't do anything.
"This is your food for tonight. If you don't eat it, you will be hungry." When giving them steamed buns, the martial arts cultivators specifically reminded them, and then threw two big bags of steamed buns to everyone.
Hungry, even though they knew the steamed buns were poisonous, the slave laborers still scrambled for it like crazy. It seemed that at this point, most of the martial arts cultivators had chosen to accept their fate. Filling their stomachs was the most important thing to them. In the chaos, Lu Yunyou and the other three managed to grab four steamed buns.
On such a cold night, it is hard to imagine how pitiful Ling Yun and Jun Wucheng would be if they only ate one steamed bun to satisfy their hunger. In order to carry out their escape plan, the two people sacrificed so much that Lu Yunyou couldn't stand it, but after his persuasion, When the two of them ate a little more, they still insisted on doing so.
While they were fighting for the steamed buns, the escorts were laughing and busy using the collected dry firewood to keep warm. The two pots were full of meat. Being served by the women, those people were very happy.
Not long after, Lu Yunyou and the others were completely surrounded by the aroma of meat. They all stared eagerly at the two pots of delicacies, wishing to go over and grab some to eat, but no one dared to go up and grab them.
"Master, please do a good job and enjoy the meat." After a while, some of the tortured and inhuman martial arts cultivators summoned up the courage to plead to those people due to their hunger, as they did not get the steamed buns. , one uncle shouted at a time, making those people laugh.
"Don't worry, after you guys have finished eating, the rest will be yours." I don't know if he really felt pity for those people, or if he was just trying to trick those people, a martial artist agreed with a smile, and gave those who were begging for alms to them. The people were so moved that they kept kowtowing to them.
