"Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I just can't bear it anymore. These beasts can't be considered humans at all."
The Jueying Sword cut through the night, killing all the guardsmen who were standing there laughing wildly. Their heads were thrown into the air, but they still kept their disgusting faces.
"You did the right thing. You should kill such a bastard who is worse than a beast and kill him quickly. Brother, I am getting older, but you have lost your decisiveness. People like us who are cultivators of immortality should be so happy to grudge us."
Liu Long did not blame Li Mu for killing all the clues. He was a soldier, and killing a few scum was just a blink of an eye.
"Hurry up and get rid of the body. Otherwise, if you encounter the patrolling Guards, there will probably be another bloody battle, and the family of three will also have to be resettled."
Liu Long knelt down, picked up the crying baby, and said while looking at the corpses on the ground and the group of civilian couples who had already passed out.
"Crack..."
Suddenly, the sound of wooden boards being trampled came from the hut on the side. Li Mu and Liu Long moved at the same time, and entered the hut in a flash.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with only a small table and a simple bed made of wooden boards. This shows how difficult the daily life of this family of three is.
At this time, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was hiding under the table and shivering. The red armor on his body showed his identity.
"I didn't expect that we were so lucky that there was still one person alive."
Liu Long leaned over and stared at this fish that had slipped through the net, his eyes full of excitement, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.
"That's great. I'm still blaming myself for cutting off all the clues. With him, everything will be easier to handle."
Li Mu patted the monkey-faced man on the shoulder, but his words made him tremble all over. Especially when he looked at the Jueying Sword that was still bleeding in Li Mu's hand, the monkey-faced man screamed strangely and tilted his head.
, was frightened and fainted.
Li Mu and Li Mu looked at each other. The Guardsman was too frightened. Why did he faint before he started interrogating him?
After simply tying up the monkey-faced man, Liu Long took out a black powder and sprinkled it directly on the corpses lying scattered outside the house. Then he saw these corpses, together with the armor on their bodies, starting to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It melts and eventually turns into a pool of black liquid.
"I'll go and turn it into corpse powder?"
Li Mu was stunned by Liu Long's high-end operation. Isn't this the corpse powder commonly used in martial arts novels in his previous life?
"What powder? This is a powder ground from corpse-eating grass. It is standard equipment used in our army to detect behind enemy lines."
Liu Long obviously didn't know what Li Mu was talking about. After disposing of the bodies, he continued to move the unconscious family of three to the door of a house a hundred steps away.
Then he knocked on the door, and after hearing the sound of the owner turning over and getting up from the house, he winked at Li Mu, and the two of them put on the shadow cloaks again, and disappeared into the night.
"Who is it, so late? Isn't this Lao Qin's family? Why are you lying here? Mother, come out quickly, something happened."
Although the material conditions and living environment in the slums are extremely poor, they have formed a very harmonious neighborhood relationship. Everyone often helps each other and overcomes the hardships of life together.
Seeing that more and more houses were lit with oil lamps, old and young people were busy carrying the unconscious couple into the house. There was even a woman who picked up the baby, lifted her top on the spot, turned her back, and fed the baby.
Milk comes.
Liu Long and Li Mu looked at each other and smiled. The people here were very miserable, but the warmth and humanity they exuded were incomparable to those nobles.
"Let's go, we still have things to do. This time I must tear off Gongsun Qi's bastard hypocritical mask and give these people a better Lishui City."
The two of them turned back to the shack where the monkey-faced soldier was kept, and held him directly on his shoulders while he was still unconscious. Then they followed an inconspicuous path, avoiding the patrols of the guards along the way, and arrived at a room in the east of the city.
In the hut.
"This is our garrison in the city. Since Gongsun Qi ran him outside the city, this house has been abandoned. No one will come. Moreover, there is a basement specially used for interrogation. The tools are very complete. I promise
Make him speak."
The monkey-faced man who was casually thrown to the ground by Liu Long like a dead dog was awakened by severe pain, but when he heard the words "The tool is perfect", he was frightened and fainted again.
Then Liu Long took the monkey-faced man to the basement, while Li Mu sat in the living room on the first floor and waited.
About an hour later, Liu Long returned to the living room from the basement, sat next to Li Mu, and put down his rolled-up sleeves. The little blood spots made Li Mu mourn for the monkey-faced man in his heart.
"Let's go and ask. All the captured civilians were transported to the mountains outside the city. There is one of their strongholds there. As for where the casual cultivators were taken, he doesn't know. Let's start with what he told us.
Let’s check the base.”
Liu Longfeng said calmly, he was very experienced in this kind of interrogation, and he pried the monkey-faced man's mouth open in just three strokes.
"That's great. Brother Liu still has a way. What should we do with that member of the Guards? I'm afraid locking him up here will cause trouble, right?"
Li Mu was naturally very happy when he heard that he had found a clue. He stood up and wanted to continue the investigation with Liu Long. Before leaving, the monkey-faced man in the basement asked curiously.
"It's okay, there's no need for it. He couldn't resist. You said that the physical fitness of the Guards is really bad. I didn't even do anything. He died."
Liu Long's words made Li Mu shiver. This eldest brother was really decisive and decisive, and he was able to rise up in the military system. It seemed that it was not just because of his family background. He was ruthless enough to the enemy so that he could protect him.
Maximum human safety.
"Huh? Brother Liu, aren't we going to the stronghold outside the city? Why are we walking towards the city instead?"
Li Mu followed Liu Long through the alleys and found that he was not heading towards the city gate, but getting closer and closer to the city center. He asked doubtfully.
"How could Gongsun Qi, an old fox, let you find the stronghold so easily? Even the guards didn't know the specific location of the stronghold, but all their escorts were conducted through an underground secret passage, and the entrance to the secret passage
,just in front."
The two of them turned a corner, and their eyes suddenly opened up. Isn't this the Lishui Market Street lined with shops?
"Ah? Brother Liu, is this? People come and go here every day. They set the entrance of the secret passage here?"
The street in front of him surprised Li Mu. He had walked back and forth in this market a few days ago. He didn't expect that after looking for clues for so long, he would pass by him many times. Gongsun Qi's move made him
Even Li Mu was not allowed to cheer for him.
"The Guards usually go out at night, and ordinary teams go to arrest or forcibly recruit civilians. For the powerful casual cultivators, Gongsun Qi personally takes action. After controlling the target, they will send it to the secret stronghold through here overnight.
."
At this time, there were no pedestrians in the shopping street. Even the pubs had closed. There were no houses here. Once night came and all the shops were closed, there would indeed be a vacuum period of several hours. The Guards took advantage of this time to
Transport the captured civilians and monks out of the city.
"It's awesome, it's awesome. The most dangerous place is safety. This Gongsun Qi has great skills."
The two of them continued walking along the shopping street, and finally stopped in front of a rice noodle shop. This was an ordinary shop, with a wooden signboard hanging high on the lintel, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"That's it, let's go in."
Liu Long had obviously confirmed the entrance from the monkey-faced man, greeted Li Mu, and under the cover of the shadow cloak, the two of them entered the store directly.
