Chapter 85 If You Invite Me Again, I Will Die

For people who stay in the dark for a long time, even a little light can become very dazzling.

The person in the cave was the first to catch the light of the night pearl and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Canglan appeared, holding up the night pearl, and his eyes fell on the other person's face. Sure enough, he saw a scar that went through his right eye.

"Zhao Hengjiang."

After being submerged in water under the mine for more than twenty days, Canglan was actually prepared to collect the bodies, but he didn't expect to actually see a living person.

Zhao Hengjiang remained on guard, but a look of loneliness appeared on his face. "Oh, you finally found me..."

He sat down on the ground dejectedly, lowered his head and gave up resistance.

It has been more than 20 days. God knows how he managed to survive alone.

I had noticed that the water level had dropped and was hoping for escape, but it has risen again in the past two days.

He was already in despair, but he didn't expect the other party still wouldn't let him go.

Being able to come here from such a situation, it goes without saying that his cultivation level is far superior to his, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

"Zhao Hengjiang, I'm Canglan, the Xuanji Guard. I've been entrusted by your son to come to your rescue."

"Ha..." Zhao Hengjiang sneered, then his shoulders shrugged rapidly, and finally he laughed crazily, "Hahaha..."

Pointing at Canglan who was not far away, he smiled but his eyes were filled with sadness, "Stop pretending. How could you possibly let my stupid son go!"

He had a last bit of fantasy in his heart just now, but now it is completely shattered.

All the miners who participated in the illegal mining were slaughtered. He relied on his hidden cultivation and anticipated the situation in advance, so he escaped the flood of urgent forces.

Given their cruelty, how could they possibly spare his son's life?

What's more, Lao Qi is very likely one of the people on the other side, and he might have already noticed what he was secretly investigating.

Canglan: ...

Has he become stupid after being locked up underground for too long?

She had no time to appease the madman. She was very tired after coming all the way here, not to mention that she had to lead people back. She said directly: "Lame."

Zhao Hengjiang's body trembled violently again. "Okay, okay, killing my son isn't enough. I'll use him to my advantage first, then kill him. You bunch..."

The next moment, Canglan flashed in front of him.

bite!

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out, and half of the blade was cut off. It shot into the deep cave like a powerful arrow, making a crisp sound when it hit the rock wall.

Bang!

There was another crisp sound, but this time it was Canglan who slapped him hard, "Are you awake now?"

This guy is not honest at all. He pretends to be crazy and stupid, but he actually has a knife hidden in his hand.

His last resort was foiled, but Lao Zhao didn't look embarrassed at all and threw away the half-broken machete cleanly and neatly.

Rubbing his cheek, he stood up briskly, "Should we leave now or does the Lord need a break?"

Canglan: ...

The veins on my forehead couldn't stop trembling, and I suddenly felt a headache.

"Do you believe now that I'm here to save you?"

"Believe me, believe me," Zhao Hengjiang said with a flattering look on his face, rubbing his hands like an honest farmer.

"If they were one of them, they wouldn't have been so gentle just now. They would have definitely cut off my arm."

Canglan: ...

"I need to rest."

After saying this coldly, she moved away a long distance on her own, as if she had been stained by something dirty.

Then he sat cross-legged, opened his waterproof backpack, and took out dried meat and water to replenish his strength.

I don’t know what the situation is like down in the mine, so I brought some supplies just in case.

Just after taking a bite, I heard a loud "gurgling" sound coming from the distance.

"Hehehe," Zhao Hengjiang touched the back of his head, "Um... Sir, could you give me some food? You know, I've been hungry for more than twenty days..."

Canglan turned his head silently and glanced to the side, where there was a corpse with its bones exposed.

It’s not like I’ve been hungry for more than 20 days, but food spoils very quickly in this weather, so I need to take good care of my stomach.

"My Lord, what are you looking at? I, Old Zhao, would never do such a thing. I have been living on rats these days.

Hey... you'll suffer retribution for eating rats in the future..."

Canglan remained silent.

She had seen people exchanging their own children for food during disasters before, let alone using the corpses of fellow miners to catch rats and then eating the rat meat. What difference could there be between the two?

She didn't want to ask any further questions and threw out a piece of dried meat.

Zhao Hengjiang caught it steadily and immediately sat down to start eating it.

Even when he was extremely hungry, he did not eat voraciously, but ate very "refinedly".

Tear off only a thin strip each time and chew it thoroughly before swallowing.

During the battle in the north, he was once in a desperate situation and had no food or supplies for seven or eight days.

He knew from experience that people who were extremely hungry should not eat too much or too quickly at once.

Even after swallowing a few pieces of hard jerky, my stomach was already twitching slightly.

There is still a long way to go on the water, and the body must hold on.

Canglan was afraid of delaying the progress of the investigation, so he took some medicine and regulated his breathing for two hours until his true energy was full and he set off immediately.

"I'm warning you, don't do anything weird during this time."

Zhao Hengjiang's face was solemn as he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will never cause trouble."

He was convicted of embezzling military funds and his cultivation was abolished. It was extremely difficult for him to cultivate true qi again.

Now he is only at the initial stage of the sixth level, about the same as his son.

It is impossible to go too far with this amount of internal energy on my own, I can only rely on the other party.

Canglan was under a lot of pressure, as it was equivalent to having to use all her true energy for two people.

Fortunately, I had memorized all the routes this time and imagined every resting location many times in my mind.

Reluctantly, he grabbed the other person's arm and dived into the water.

When passing by the bodies of the miners tied together, Zhao Hengjiang narrowed his eyes and became more determined.

If he were the other party, he wouldn't do this, so his son... might really still be alive!

Canglan led his men forward, estimating the next place to breathe, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and from time to time he also had to give Zhao Hengjiang some true energy.

Fortunately, the opponent cooperated throughout the process and had strong willpower.

After more than twenty days of starvation, his health must have been very poor, but he tried his best to swim on his own, obviously not wanting to put too much burden on her.

In this way, after an unknown amount of time, the location of the vertical shaft finally came into sight.

This is the most critical step. Canglan sensed that only one tenth of the true energy in his body remained.

She could only wait for half a cup of tea at most. If the adults did not come to pick her up, she would have to sneak back again.

Just as she was thinking this, a "force" descended upon her, completely encompassing her and Zhao Hengjiang.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

A gentle voice sounded in his ears, but Canglan under the water pursed his lips tightly.

What bad luck, this person is the one coming!

There was no choice. She couldn't insist that her parents stay up there to watch over her, so she had no choice but to float up immediately.

The hidden fourth-grade warrior was not staring at the princess's house, but at the mine.

Liu Yan knew that the key was to pick up the people quietly, so he stayed at the mine.

Finally, he waited for someone, and it was worth it for him to stay up all night.

With him taking action personally, there would naturally be no mistakes. He successfully picked up the two people and escorted them out of the mine.

In the backyard of the mansion, Liu Yan bowed and said, "I have brought Zhao Hengjiang here. Come to invite the Sixth Prince."

Sui Mo half-closed his eyes and shook his head, "I can't invite you."

"Why?"

"I'll die if you invite me again." Without waiting for a response, he turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Liuyan:?

He stared blankly at Yaoguang standing beside him, and was about to speak, but the girl ran even faster.

The Sixth Prince who dared to confront Lord Yinzhe is untouchable...

Liuyan: ???
