"So you said you have nothing to do with me anymore... Hey, hey, stop it, stop it!"
Some time later, in the fortress barracks, the screams belonging to Yu Meng appeared in the ears of some soldiers from the Principality who were passing by: "Your arms are about to be twisted off, are you still not human? It was I who found those who had burrowed into the ground.
Thief, it’s fine if you’re not grateful, but in the end you’re going to cause trouble for me?”
"We don't resent you, we just want you to answer a few questions. Why, you can't answer such a simple question?"
"How do I know how I discovered it? I discovered it intuitively. I just happened to hide at that time and ran into the underground passage, and then happened to run into them."
"Zang? So you wanted to run away at the beginning? What is the relationship between Yinzhu and you? You can even use the earthquake technique, why are you so afraid of him?"
Interrogating the poor magician who was surrounded by people in front of him with a serious face, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face gradually became colder and colder. She who was responsible for presiding over this inhumane interrogation also noticed some things at the door.
Change, turned around and looked at Duan Qing and Violet who had just pushed in the door: "You're back? Is today's magic practice over?"
"It's over." Faced with this scene, Duan Qing didn't know how to express himself. He scratched his cheek and finally only showed a dry smile: "What are you doing? Some kind of party?"
"Of course it's a 'friendly exchange'." Turning his head, Xueling Huanbing turned sideways to reveal the appearance of a certain down-and-out magician who was firmly pressed on the ground: "It's just that the other party seems to be cooperating with the problem.
They didn't seem very friendly, so we had to use some means to show our 'good intentions'."
"This good intention is shown with enough enthusiasm." Looking at Yunmeng's face being pinned to the ground by a few big and thick palms, Duan Qing couldn't help but let out a few sighs: "But that's all, I happen to have a few questions.
I'm asking you."
"Are you coming too?" Yunmeng, whose cheeks were a little deformed because he was pressed to the ground and whose voice was a little distorted, tried his best to raise his eyelids: "Are you guys going too far? I've already said it.
It’s all just a coincidence!”
"That's true, after all, we don't know how you got here." Duan Qing walked slowly in front of the poor guy, squatted down and then showed his smiling face: "Of course, if possible,
, I hope you can introduce the process of getting here in more detail."
"Ah?" Yunmeng, whose voice was slightly distorted, blinked his eyes again: "H-didn't I already say this? Is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
"You and Yinzhu came to this place together, right."
Interrupting the other party's words, Duan Qing looked at half of the other party's face with a smile: "Because you have been squatting here with us, I didn't ask too much about those topics about you.
, but now that the situation has developed to this point... I think it’s almost time to talk about the conflict between you and that Yinzhu."
"Why on earth is he so obsessed with you?"
He patted the other person's head, and his curved eyebrows seemed to show his friendliness to the other person: "Please think carefully before answering, because this may affect whether we should continue to take you with us.
.”
"Hey, it sounds like I must follow you... Ouch."
The arm that was twisted behind seemed to make an irresistible squeaking sound. Yunmeng let out a scream and then replied begging for mercy: "How do I know why he must be obsessed with me? He just keeps holding those
His theories are just brainwashing me every day! I won’t listen to him, and I will never rejoin Vizard!”
"...So, that Yinzhu hasn't given up on trying to persuade you to come back?" After looking at Duan Qing, Xueling Huanbing, who was also standing next to him, asked in a low voice: "Even if you are single at all costs,
Breaking into this principality’s fortress and becoming an accomplice to a certain force’s attack on the principality’s fortress?”
"His identity as a member of Vizard is rarely known, so he is not worried that these things will involve his family." Yumeng muttered in a low voice: "And with that guy's strength, he
He is not afraid of people from the principality coming to trouble him..."
"This is the question we just asked!" Asahi Dongsheng pressed on the opponent and asked loudly: "Why is he so strong? How can he use the power of the devil, a trick that does not belong to this world?"
"You ask me, I don't know!" Yun Meng raised her head vigorously: "I, I am just a prisoner of his first level. A magician who is guarded by such a master every day has no power at all.
Opportunity to resist him!"
"Then you should know something about his strength and the source of his power." Gedman, who was also guarding the other side, spat heavily when he heard the sound: "Speak quickly, or I will really kill you.
His arm was twisted off."
"Forget it, this question is not important."
Duan Qing stretched out his hand to stop the inhumane torture of the two strong men. Duan Qing, who knew the answer very clearly in his heart, then sighed: "Let me go through the whole process again. You were forced to flee because of it when you were in Redcar."
You joined our group, and then you sought an opportunity to escape because we left you in the Mages Council. After being hunted again and almost being caught, you were picked up by a group called the Red Lotus Gang, and came to the principality.
This side..."
"You relied on your 'extremely skilled' escape skills to escape again, turning into a meteorite falling from the sky and hitting all of us." Following Duan Qing's words, Xue Ling Huan Bing then also crossed his arms.
: "This is the process you've been introducing to us, right?"
"No, that's right." Yun Meng nodded hesitantly: "What's the problem?"
"There are two problems here." Duan Qing, who was squatting in front of him, asked in a low voice: "First, with the strength that Yinzhu has shown so far, there is no need for him to let the general go because of the appearance of the Red Lotus Gang.
The purpose of bringing you back. As a result, not only did he not sweep across Liuhe at that time and kill you and the poor Red Lotus Gang with his own power, but he took advantage of the situation and became teammates with you, marching all the way to this place.
Is there any necessary reason?"
"I, how do I know?" Yun Meng's expression became a little unnatural: "He is a big pervert. Is there any way for me to know what inhuman things are being planned in his mind?
Anyway, since he wants to take me to join the Red Lotus Gang, then I am very happy."
"So, you don't know the reason why he chose to do this?" Duan Qing looked at Yun Meng's face carefully: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Yunmeng's face was still pressed to the ground and rubbed: "I don't even know the reason why you left the imperial capital, how could I know more things..."
"Okay, then the second question." Duan Qing secretly exchanged a look with Xue Ling Huan Bing, and then continued to ask in a low voice: "The Red Lotus Gang has kindly brought you all this way, what do you think?
How much do you know?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"The Red Lotus Gang wants to attack this fortress, did you know beforehand?"
His expression gradually became calm, and Duan Qing looked at the other person's face with indifferent eyes: "Did you meet Qicai Lingguang and the others in the underground hall by coincidence, or did you know their plan in advance?"
"I have already answered this question before." Yunmeng struggled and shook his head: "It's a coincidence, a coincidence! I didn't know before what purpose they came to the principality, who their employers or superiors were, etc.
I don’t know any of them either!”
"The Red Lotus Gang brought you all the way to the principality. Have you and Yinzhu not cared about it all the time?" Duan Qing's words became louder as he approached his face: "Are they just that?
Have you ever had the idea of getting you two masters to act together?"
"Before I escaped from that place, Yinzhu and I had never shown each other's true strength." Yunmeng's answer this time was very quick: "Apart from eating, living and traveling together, we have never asked
The secrets that the other party didn’t want to mention, we even unilaterally proposed to join the Red Lotus Gang, but we were rejected by them on the grounds of ‘needing a test’…”
"The play was well performed." After a slight silence for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was standing aside, finally sneered: "In other words, you two pretended to be destitute wanderers, and then ended up like this.
Followed them through several maps like a stranger?"
"No, that's right! What's wrong with that?"
"Not yet." Duan Qing snapped his fingers and asked with raised eyebrows: "Then for the last question, since you have never understood each other, and you don't know what your true purpose is, what will you do along the way?
You should have some knowledge, right? What did the Red Lotus Gang do on their way to the fortress?"
"Well, it seems like I was just on the road." Yuemeng, who was pinned to the ground, made a hesitant voice after thinking: "Apart from hunting, I was just on the road and camping, and then it went all the way to the beginning of the heavy rain, and there was no more in between.
What else happened?"
"Is this true?"
"certainly."
"...let him go."
Waving his hand, Duan Qing then moved Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, who had been pressing behind each other, away from Yunmeng: "I remember you once said that you were taking advantage of this heavy rain day.
The water element activates magic teleportation to escape from them, right?"
"You can use it to your heart's content now." He smiled softly at Yunmeng, who was still lying on the ground: "Since Yinzhu has also left, you should be able to continue your wandering without worrying about being raped by that guy.
It should have been discovered."
"I, I didn't say I wanted to leave here." With difficulty, she turned over her body and moved her shoulders vigorously: "I think the fortress is a pretty good place, and these guys from the principality should be too.
Can you continue to block the gun for me..."
"Then there's nothing we can do, because we're leaving." Duan Qing made a helpless gesture: "Just hide here, and when Qianzhihe comes back, she should take care of you next
thing."
"Wait a minute!" As if thinking of the recalcitrant little girl, Yunmeng's expression became more exciting again: "I don't want to be caught back to the Master Council, the rules there are worse than those around Yinzhu.
If it’s scary, you, can’t you continue to take me with you?”
"...You can continue to follow us if you want, but you have to obey our arrangements." Duan Qing nodded at Xue Ling Huan Bing, and then looked around: "The first thing you need is to identify the personnel to guard you... Well.
"
"Then Ninglan will be fine."
He thought for a moment, then nodded to the smiling Ningyu Ninglan and said, "I hope this time."
"You will listen to her carefully."
**********************************
"What do you think."
"That guy is lying."
Everyone dispersed in the direction they wanted to go, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing also appeared on the way to the Feisi Tavern: "Judging from his expression and tone, the two in front
The problem is that he is definitely deceiving us, at least he did not tell all the truth, or concealed part of the truth."
"I think so."
Shaking his head, the two people wore cloaks and walked through the center of the square occupied by the stagnant water: "Whether it's his problem or Yinzhu's problem, this person didn't tell us the truth, but we are all players.
, and we have no way to force the other party to say what we want.”
"We can only take one step at a time." Xue Ling Huan Bing's gaze also became much more serious: "I hope this will not cause us more trouble and provoke more enemies."
"Taking him is actually a way." Duan Qing's voice gradually became more relaxed: "At least under our surveillance, his purpose will be exposed sooner or later, and the trouble he brings... If Yinzhu happens again
If he appears in front of us, then we will hand him over directly."
"The only remaining issue is his identity." Xue Ling Huan Bing lowered her head and showed a thoughtful expression: "What is the possibility of his 'anti-imperial' identity?"
"Let alone him, even the current position of the Red Lotus Gang is questionable."
Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who was leading the opponent, gradually walked to the door of the tavern: "All we know so far is that the Red Lotus Gang tried to bury a magic bomb under the fortress."
, we have not seen those magic bombs, we just let people like Yumeng and the Principality describe them themselves."
"It seems that we can only wait until Thousand Zhihe comes back." Following the other party's footsteps into the tavern, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a deep voice: "I hope she can find the people from the Red Lotus Gang, and then tell us what we want to know.
Ask for all the information, okay?"
The flickering light and shadow flashed for a moment in front of the eyes as they pushed the door open. Then the footsteps and voices of the two people stopped simultaneously, and the image of the red-haired girl belonging to Qian Zhihe also appeared lying on the bar.
The posture in front appeared in the tavern hall, which was much cooler than at night.
