Chapter 170: Hostages (Third Update) Following the crowds of people walking out of the prison, the criminals gathered together in twos and threes in the courtyard, looking at He Ming's new bird with burning eyes.
"Are you Hongxuanzi? Do you know Hongxuanzi?" In order to find Hongxuanzi, He Ming could only ask one by one.
Judging from Roland's age, Hongxuanzi should be an old man, so He Ming asked the first question when he met men of similar age, and the second question when he met men of different ages.
Although this method is a bit clumsy, it has to be said that it is very effective.
After suffering the looks of stupidity from the eighty-one criminals, the eighty-second criminal's eyes flashed when he heard He Ming's question.
"Who are you?" the other party asked.
He Ming burst into tears. Emperor Tian had paid off his hard work. Finally, someone responded.
This prisoner's age is quite consistent, but He Ming can't tell whether he is Hongxuanzi or not, because he doesn't know Hongxuanzi.
"Is my father-in-law Hongxuanzi?" He Ming asked carefully.
The old man who seemed to be Hong Xuanzi looked at He Ming calmly and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
He Ming was stunned, how should he answer this? According to the seniority relationship, this Hongxuanzi is his master's brother-in-law, so he is the apprentice of Hongxuanzi's wife's brother.
So He Ming said honestly: "I am the apprentice of Hongxuanzi's wife's brother."
The old man was obviously stunned for two seconds and continued: "Then what are you doing with Hongxuanzi?"
He Ming had an idea in his mind and thought: "It's impossible to be sure whether this old man is Hong Xuanzi or not. Today's society is dark and people's hearts are not ancient. Even Princess Ruoran can lie to others."
So He Ming said: "I have something to do with Hongxuanzi."
The old man glared and said angrily: "You are entertaining me, don't I know you have something wrong?"
He Ming smiled apologetically and said: "There is indeed something wrong, but I can only tell Hongxuanzi in person about this matter."
The old man sneered and said: "That old immortal Hongxuanzi, a while ago..."
The old man's voice suddenly dropped as he spoke, and He Ming could no longer hear clearly. Then he subconsciously leaned forward, and the old man's lowered right hand suddenly reached out like lightning, and he actually used a boxing master's technique of chokehold.
This move was as fast as lightning, and He Ming was caught off guard because he wanted to know the whereabouts of Hongxuanzi. He was immediately hit and was lifted up like a chicken.
This old man, who was originally sluggish, is still half as old as before.
Two magic eyes in mid-air immediately locked onto the suddenly rioting old man. The alarm sounded loudly, and the surrounding NPC guards arrived in time.
However, He Ming was held hostage by someone's hand, and for a while the guards did not dare to move rashly.
He Ming's eyes were dazzled. An NPC dressed as a magic swordsman had appeared in front of him, but looking at the cloak behind him, he knew that this guy was much higher level than those ordinary NPC guards.
"Lanil, let this criminal go, I can pretend that nothing happened," the magic swordsman said proudly.
He Ming was depressed when he heard this. It turned out that the old man's name was Lanier, and he was not Hong Xuanzi at all.
"Taller, you know how powerful my hands are. Even magic shackles can't completely restrain its power. If you don't want to ruin this little guy's life, just make way for me." Lanier licked it out of excitement.
He smiled with chapped lips.
"A mere criminal, do you think I would pity his name?" Demon Swordsman Taller said Lingran.
"What the hell do you mean?" He Ming was angry. Although he is a criminal now, you can't ignore your brother's name so blatantly.
As soon as Taler said these words, Lanier's expression finally changed.
Suddenly, I heard an anxious voice coming from afar, shouting loudly: "Lord Taller"...
He Ming looked around and saw that the NPC who came was actually an acquaintance. It was Kafei, the chief executive responsible for issuing bounty tasks in the Bloody Tavern.
Kafei whispered a few words in Taller's ear. Taller's face changed slightly, he looked at He Ming carefully, and then said to Lanier: "Let go of the hostage, I can let you leave."
Lanier laughed a few times and said: "Do you think this is the first time that my old man comes out to fool around? Get out of the way for me and remove the Magic Eye. When I safely get off the Heavenly Sin Peak, I will naturally let this kid go.
Brother."
Taler's face showed a murderous look and he said: "I'm warning you, if you dare to hurt him even a hair, even if you escape to the horizon, I will personally cut off your head."
Lanier was not afraid at all: "Stop talking nonsense and make way for me."
The expression on Taller's face changed, and he finally waved his hand. The surrounding NPC guards gave way to a two-meter-wide road, and the magic eyes in mid-air also canceled their lock.
Lanier pinched He Ming's throat and moved forward cautiously.
Suddenly, He Ming said dejectedly: "Uncle, I'm here to see Hongxuanzi. Do you know the whereabouts of Hongxuanzi?"
"Shut up." Lanier obviously didn't expect that He Ming could actually speak. He scolded and immediately tightened his grip.
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on the instep of my foot, and my hands were suddenly unable to use any strength. Then my wrist was grabbed by He Ming, and with a twist, I was thrown out by He Ming.
Just now, He Ming was caught off guard and caught Lanier's way, but Lanier thought he was infallible and his attention was completely on Taller, so He Ming first stepped on the instep of Lanier hard, then grabbed him with his backhand, and got away easily.
Lanier's control.
"You..." Lanier only had time to say the word "you" before his whole body was enveloped by the sword energy.
At the same time that Lanier was thrown out by He Ming, Taller's sword had already been released.
He Ming had never seen a demon swordsman able to display such arrogant sword energy. He roughly estimated that the NPC demon swordsman Taler's level was at least level three.
Lanier fell to the ground like a sack. His prison clothes were intact, but blood slowly seeped out from under his clothes.
Taller's sword energy actually penetrated Lanier's clothes and seriously injured him.
"Pull it off," Taller said coldly.
Immediately, two NPC guards came forward and dragged Taller's seriously injured body away.
"How about it, how about it, can I count it as a meritorious service? Is there any reward?" He Ming said playfully.
"This man seems to be able to escape the influence of magic shackles and put him in a black prison." Taller pointed at He Ming and said.
"I x, you are cheating me," He Ming was furious.
Raniere launched a violent attack, while the other criminals looked on coldly. At this time, Raniere was seriously injured by Taler because of He Ming's sudden counterattack. The other criminals looked at He Ming with hatred in their eyes.
But when he heard that Taller was going to imprison He Ming in a black prison, a gloating smile appeared on his face again.
Two NPC guards came up and took He Ming away. He Ming cursed all the way, but Taller completely turned a deaf ear.
