He obviously looked innocent, even a little confused.
However, after he was imprisoned, he discovered that except for him, all the brothers in the sect had been arrested, and they all looked as if they were listless.
"Junior brother, were you also arrested?"
The faces of the senior fellow apprentices were not very pretty, some had bruises and bruises on their faces, and they had obviously suffered a lot.
"Brother, did they arrest the wrong person?"
"Let me out quickly, you made a mistake!"
Qu Chi grabbed the cell door and shouted, but there was no echo from the empty cell.
Several senior brothers tried to persuade him: "Stop shouting. We have tried it just now. This seems to be the first floor of the prison, and it is also the floor with the fewest prisoners."
"Yes, usually the people locked up on this floor are uncertain. Once the officials find out the truth, they will let us out."
Everyone's expressions are relatively relaxed, and this is not the first time for some of them to have been imprisoned. The first priority when sitting here is to correct their mentality.
"It doesn't make sense. What does it have to do with us?"
Qu Chi still didn't quite understand. He was just delivering a shipment. Even if Old Man Chen died, it shouldn't have anything to do with them. This was clearly an intentional frame-up.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting, are you the only one with a loud voice?"
At this time, a jailer walked in from outside the cell. The jailer was wearing tattered armor and had a dark complexion. He was holding a long knife and walked in front of several people.
The jailer had a big beard, his brows were full of flesh, and he looked fierce.
Several of Qu Chi's senior brothers couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat when they saw it, and they were all a little scared.
Only Qu Chi was not afraid at all. He grabbed the cell door and begged the jailer for mercy: "Sir, I was wronged. You arrested the wrong person. Let us out quickly!"
"We arrested the wrong one? What do you mean? Are you teaching me how to do something?"
The bearded jailer asked three times and looked at Qu Chi sternly.
Qu Chi Lingran was not afraid, he was more worried about what would happen besides the matter itself.
He insisted and shouted: "I don't mean that. You know this, sir. We are just a group of ordinary Jianghu disciples. Why did you arrest us by mistake?"
"Shut up!"
The bearded jailer became angry, pulled out his long knife, and slashed at Qu Chi in the cell.
Qu Chi was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and the bearded long knife struck the cell door with a clang, making the door buzz. Several other brothers in the door immediately came over and held him.
The "upright" Qu Chi.
"Junior brother, please stop saying a few words..."
"Yes, yes, they will send us out after only a few days."
Everyone pulled Qu Chi, fearing that he would offend the jailers again and he would inevitably be beaten severely.
The bearded jailer sneered, took a deep look at this group of lowest-level Jianghu people, turned around and left the cell.
Qu Chi felt a chill in his heart, always having a bad premonition.
Everyone was relieved when they saw the jailer leaving.
"Where's the master?"
Qu Chi pulled his senior brother and asked.
"Master... seems to have been captured and locked up elsewhere. We don't know."
Although several senior brothers came in earlier than Qu Chiguan, they don't know much information.
The bad feeling in Qu Chi's heart became more intense. He grabbed a senior brother by his collar and asked in a low voice: "Brother, was master practicing in the door last night?"
"Of course, Master is usually ascetic, but he doesn't participate in any activities."
Senior brother asked curiously: "What's wrong, junior brother, what else do you want to say?"
Qu Chi thought of the suddenly broken bridge deck, the huge explosion in the Cao River, and the large number of vendors replaced on the bridge. He always felt that this matter was not that simple, and the dead old man Xiao Chen seemed to be clouded by this matter.
A new layer of fog emerged.
He shook his head, not understanding what was going on, but he felt very bad in his heart.
Now that he is locked up in prison, he can't do anything.
He sat on the ground frustrated, but his mind was spinning rapidly, constantly reviewing all the situations he had seen yesterday.
Dark clouds, the city of God, the streets entering the city, the sound of camel bells ringing at the door, the guards rushing towards him... Suddenly, he opened his eyes, with a hint of fear and disbelief in them.
"Come here, come here, come here, I'm important..."
Qu Chi jumped up from the ground, shouting at the top of his voice to call the jailer over again.
This time, the guards didn't need to take action. The senior brothers who had noticed something "wrong" with him had already grabbed Qu Chi and pushed him to the ground, causing him to be unable to say the next half of his sentence.
"Junior brother, senior brother, please calm down quickly. We can go out in a few days!"
Some senior fellow apprentices had bruises on their faces. They obviously didn't want to be beaten again. Seeing that Qu Chi was still making a noise, they blocked him immediately. He practiced his locking technique close to the ground well. Qu Chi's face turned pale in pain: "Brother
, let me go quickly, I have something important to see Mr. Fu Yin, this matter is not trivial!"
"Shit, Mr. Fu Yin, with his status, how can he meet you in person? You'd better calm down and stay here. At least wait until the brothers go out before making any noise!"
The senior brothers didn't listen to Qu Chi at all. Now this little junior brother is a bit "crazy" and is out of tune with everyone.
Everyone was worried about provoking a violent beating from the jailer, so they had to treat him as an alien and not let him talk nonsense.
Qu Chi's lips trembled when he was angry, but his strength was too weak. The senior brothers were all qi and blood warriors whose qi and blood had broken through for a long time. Some brothers had broken through qi and blood twice, which was stronger than him, a martial artist who had a sudden burst of qi and blood.
many.
He was restrained by his senior brother and fell to the ground, unable to resist.
"It's over. If this continues, I'm afraid Shendu Mansion won't let us leave at all. We are all in danger."
As soon as Qu Chi finished speaking, the jailer who had left just now came to the cell with a group of strong jailers.
It turned out that the bearded jailer just now was actually the warden. He led a group of men and opened the cell door silently with a cold face.
"Look, aren't you going to let us out?"
The senior brothers immediately showed expressions of joy. The jailers were very cruel, but it was understandable that those who were serving as officials had power and bad tempers. As long as they could be released, that would be fine.
A senior brother took the initiative to greet the jailer, with a somewhat flattering look on his face.
However, the jailer standing at the door had an extremely serious look on his face. Qu Chi, who had been suppressed by his senior brothers, once again noticed something was wrong. He shuddered and subconsciously roared: "Be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the extremely cold jailer suddenly pulled out the long knife hanging on his waist.
"Qiang——"
The bright long knife showed its cold edge, and the long knife was lifted up directly, slitting the senior brother's throat with precision.
"Pfft!"
In the crisp sound, the throat bones were broken, and the plasma flowed out from the fracture. The senior brother didn't even have time to make any sound, so he held his throat with his hands in fear. However, the blood in the throat seemed to be opened, and the plasma surged.
, it can’t be blocked at all.
He let out two low sobs and knelt down in front of the jailer.
The jailer flew up and kicked him to the ground.
"ah?!"
Such a change made everyone in the cell unable to think for a moment.
Fear, panic, confusion and other emotions were intertwined together, and the jailers who originally thought they were going to let them out pulled out their weapons one by one and slashed at Qu Chi's brothers and sisters.
"Pfft!"
"puff!"
"Spare your life! My lord, spare your life!"
The small cell became a slaughterhouse, with strong guards holding swords and slaughtering the captured Jianghu people one by one.
Qu Chi, who was originally being suppressed by his senior brother, was not immune. One of the jailers raised a knife and was about to chop at his head.
"You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
"I have important information to report to the imperial court. If you kill me, the grand master will definitely blame you!"
Qu Chi twisted his body crazily underneath, trying to get rid of this fate like a loach. He roared hysterically, but the other party didn't care about the "nonsense" he said. Although the eyes of several officials changed slightly, the swords in their hands were
If he doesn't stop, he will chop at his head.
"Arch Guards Division, there are traitors in the Arch Guards Division, intending to subvert the city of God, I have conclusive evidence!"
Qu Chi almost shouted his last words at the top of his lungs.
The whistling long knife stopped on his head, only two centimeters away from his face.
The cold air rippling across the blade almost split his entire face in half.
Qu Chi was so frightened that his life was almost in danger.
And when he looked intently, he saw a young man dressed in black appearing in the prison. With one hand, he grabbed the sharp blade in the jailer's hand that could easily harvest the lives of Jianghu people, so that the jailer's blade could no longer move downwards.
.
The young man turned his head and looked at Qu Chi lying on the ground with interest, covered in dirt and blood: "You said there is a traitor in the Guards Department?"
When the prison head, jailer and others saw the visitor, they all knelt down on one knee as a salute.
Qu Chi narrowly escaped death, his back was soaked with sweat. He looked at the young man in black with a dry mouth and nodded solemnly.
------------------
Shendu, in a private house.
The population of Shendu is too large. More than a million people live in the ancient city. Therefore, countless private houses have been born. Although there are court agencies specifically to manage the affairs of the city, they are still somewhat stretched, especially after the turmoil.
The quality of life in the city is declining rapidly.
Once management declines, hygiene cannot be done well.
Except for the palaces and the A- and B-class quarters where dignitaries lived, the environment in other quarters became increasingly bad.
Hidden under the prosperity of the divine capital are tragic scenes of people starving to death on the streets. The so-called fireworks smell contains all kinds of complex odors.
The houses here are located in a busy city, but the doors are often closed, and only occasionally some vendors come in and out.
From the outside, the house doesn't have any major problems.
But if you take a look inside this private house, you will see some clues.
Surprisingly, all of this private residence is occupied by men, and there are no female relatives at all.
A group of men live in a private house here, but nothing happens. They are very quiet every day, and someone will deliver food to the house, eliminating the need for a fire in the house to cook.
It is "both pyrotechnics" and not "pyrotechnics", which seems a bit out of tune with the surroundings.
At this time, several men wearing Taoist robes suddenly appeared in the lobby of the house.
The supreme Tianyuan God was enshrined in the lobby. Three pillars of incense were placed, and the men in Taoist robes knelt down beside the statue, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, the enshrined Supreme Heavenly Yuan Shen suddenly opened one eye.
This eye actually opened from the god, but what kind of status is the god, how could he give an oracle to such a few ordinary people? Therefore, if people from the Taoist palace saw it, these Taoists would definitely be punished for the crime of blaspheming the god.
What's even more hateful is that several Taoists pretended not to know, and looked deeply shocked. They knelt down and worshiped the open eyes of the deity.
There was a divine light in the eyes, which fell to the ground, and then a faint light appeared, accompanied by a hoarse sound.
Someone actually spoke with the help of this divine eye: "Why don't you see Elder Zhu?"
Among the several Taoists, someone immediately spoke back: "Elder Zhu took a few of his subordinates to arrange the arrangements in Shanglinfang in Shendu. The arrangements should have been completed by now and are on their way back."
"good."
God's Eye is satisfied with this answer.
The voice continued: "When Elder Zhu completes the arrangements, only the Imperial Palace and the Grand Master's Mansion will be left in the Divine Capital City without arrangements. However, these two places are special and there are too many experts who are too keen. Even if they are not arranged, it will not affect the overall situation.
"
It was talking to itself. It had been thinking about the layout for many years, and today it finally had a chance to get what it wanted. Its voice trembled unconsciously: "The closer it is to the last moment, the more cautious you must be, and you must not let anyone notice it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Now that Rongzheng and Cao Su are at war in the north, it is a good opportunity for us."
Several Taoists agreed, and they all looked excited.
The Divine Religion has been laying out its plans for many years in order to one day return to the Divine Capital. Now, with the help of some external forces, it has finally seen the dawn of great achievements.
"Master, there is one more thing I want to report to you."
An old Taoist took a step forward and spoke.
The leader of Divine Eyes was also unambiguous: "Say."
The old Taoist replied: "While I was waiting to arrange things in the capital of God, for some reason, I always felt that there was a group of people who seemed to be arranging something in the capital of God. Later, I went to investigate, but that group was also very cautious, and was
After Pindao found a stronghold, he quickly changed direction, burned it all, and completely abandoned that stronghold."
The leader of the Divine Eye was not surprised when he heard the news: "The Divine Capital is a mixed bag, and it is the heart of the world. I don't know how many people come in and out of the Divine Capital every day. There are too many forces intertwined here. The people you found
, maybe you are originally from Shendu City, so you don’t need to care too much.”
"But we should be careful. We must not expose our identities. In a few days, the gods will hold a festival celebration, which is when the great cause of the gods will be completed. Everything else can be put aside first, and everything will be in order.
This matter shall prevail.”
The old Taoist and others hurriedly handed over their hands in response. The instructions given by the leader were very clear.
All of them admired me and became more purposeful and confident in their work.
Since the new leader came to power, the sect has pretended to shrink the scope of its activities, but in fact it has quietly reached out to the enemy's lair. This is a very sophisticated tactic to draw out the firepower.
If this can happen, then the new leader will be the first person in the history of the sect, unique.
