Chapter 608 Li Anjiu breaks out of the cage!
"To protect the country?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows and stopped.
He calmed down and followed Tai Hina's gaze.
In his eyes, there was only darkness.
However, as Tai Chu placed his hand on his shoulder, the darkness in that place melted away like ice and snow, and a figure appeared in Yu Cang's sight.
He was a strong man, sitting on a chair, with his arms folded, his head tilted back, his mouth opening and closing, snoring like thunder.
Yu Cang also didn't hear the snoring before Tai Chu exerted his strength.
Looking at Zhenguo who was sleeping soundly, with bubbles even coming out of his nose from time to time... Yu Cang couldn't help but laugh.
"He is the operator of the puppet at the door?"
"Yes."
Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
He looks like the husband in some movie who is fast asleep.
Seeing this guy, Yu Cang calmed down a little.
Tai Chu also looked at Yu Cang at this time: "Have you thought it through?"
Yu Cang knew what Tai Chu was referring to.
Li Anjiu, he must be saved.
I didn't know where he was taken before, but now that I know, I definitely can't just sit back and watch.
It was Li Anjiu who saved his life on the Fire Star.
It would be fine if Li Anjiu was just locked up here... they could wait until everything was over before taking him away, but now, he was obviously suffering horrible torture.
In front of Li Anjiu, there was a disheveled, bespectacled card banner who was constantly performing some evil experiments on Li Anjiu. The screams that Yu Cang heard on the first floor just now came from Li Anjiu's mouth.
Li Anjiu's body is now covered with dense blood scabs, which is very similar to the deceased husband they saw in Madam Yu's hands. Obviously, he has also been infected and turned into a savage man... However, the area covered by the blood scabs is not wide, perhaps it has not yet reached the complete form.
And what that big-eyed card banner was doing to Li Anjiu seemed to be some experiments that made his spiritual energy closer to that of a barbaric person...
Publicly, he couldn't sit idly by and watch the Desolate Sect successfully conduct this experiment of infecting people with desolateness. Personally, he wouldn't watch Li Anjiu being tortured like this.
But now there is a problem.
If they wanted to take Li Anjiu away by force... then the guardian of the country would definitely be alarmed.
Now that someone is missing right under his nose, it would be an exaggeration if the country guardian didn't react.
And even if they could rescue him quietly... and take him away under the nose of a national guardian, then the national teacher would definitely guess that there was a myth in the team.
They were exposed in advance.
This is why Tai Chu asked Yu Cang to think it over.
So, what should we do?
Yu Cang frowned slightly, then turned his head, glanced around, and began to look at the environment in the prison.
Compared to the first floor, this place is more popular.
Although the cells are still not full, many of them already have prisoners, and it seems that those prisoners are quite strong.
However, they were confined by the special totem and had no way to escape from this place.
There was no doubt that those prisoners were all injured, and dark red solidified matter was randomly distributed on the ground and the fences. One could imagine the tragedy that had happened here.
It seems that this place has indeed been used as an experimental site for researching banned cards.
That card banner with big and small eyes is most likely a member of the Desolate Sect.
Yu Cang looked at Lou Yan again and found that his eyes were a little confused at this time.
"What's wrong?"
"My eldest brother...is not here..." Lou Yan looked bewildered, "I didn't see him in those cells..."
"Oh?" Yu Cang frowned slightly.
He looked at Tai Hina: "Senior, can you feel that there is a third floor here?"
"That's all, just these two layers." Tai Hyun said, "Have you figured out what to do?"
"Please wait a moment, Senior."
"hurry up."
Yu Cang turned his head, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
Lou Han, not here?
Why did Sachan say that?
Could it be...
Did Sachan mention the prison on purpose? Was his purpose to lure me into the prison?
No...it should be the purpose of the national teacher!
If this is the case, then the prison tonight is a trap, and that guardian of the country might have just been sent here by the national teacher.
Was this still a test? Or was it a bargaining chip the Imperial Master intended to use to raise the price tomorrow? Or perhaps... the Imperial Master simply wanted to use him to eliminate dissidents within the Desolate Sect?
Or maybe the Imperial Master was just afraid that they would run around, so he simply gave them a target and sent them to the prison, thus wasting a whole night's effort.
Perhaps both. In any case, they could be said to have been fooled by the Imperial Master.
However, Yu Cang was not angry.
It would be nice to see Li Anjiu again. Besides, they were in someone else's territory, so it was inevitable that they would be led by the nose.
So, what to do now?
Li Anjiu wanted to rescue him, but he didn't want to completely fulfill the imperial teacher's wishes.
He set a trap, and I couldn't really fall into it.
or……
Yu Cang was still thinking, but Tai Chu seemed a little impatient.
"Yu Cang, why are you so slow?" Tai Chu said, "If you don't make a decision, I'm going to take action."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang's expression changed. "Senior, why are you so anxious... This is not like you."
"Because I sensed something interesting." Tai Chu's gaze was fixed on Li Anjiu's cell. "There's Yu Wanqing's presence there. She must have left something behind. I'm extremely curious about how she's grown in the Desolate Sect over the years."
Yu Cang: "..."
He looked at Li Anjiu's cell again, and this time, he saw a familiar figure not far away.
Warming Yang.
If this is a trap set by the Imperial Master, then what is Wen Yang's position?
Wen Yang did not join in the experiment on Li Anjiu, but was just learning something. Occasionally, he looked up at Li Anjiu's cell, and inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.
The distance was quite far and he couldn't see clearly, but it should be disgust and intolerance.
...No matter what, Yu Cang really needs to get news about Li Anjiu, and Wen Yang's information is very crucial.
"Senior, where are the things Yu Wanqing left behind?"
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Well, we have to rescue Li Anjiu - but before that, we have to see what Madam Yu left behind."
"good."
Tai Chu didn't waste any words. He stretched out his hand and a piece of paper flew up from the table next to Daxiaoyan and then quickly landed in Tai Chu's palm.
The man with the big and small eyes was thinking at the moment and didn't notice anything happening here... nor did he have the ability to notice.
Tai Chu picked up the piece of paper, felt it for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.
“Huh…”
Yu Cang quickly asked, "Senior, what did Madam Yu say?"
"This..." Tai Chu's expression suddenly became playful, "Interesting, Yu Wanqing, did you notice me?"
"ah?"
"This is a special forbidden card rhythm. I taught it. Others... can't understand it."
"That……"
"But it should be very useful to you."
Tai Chu waved her hand, and the information on the piece of paper changed quietly. She handed the paper to Yu Cang. The information on it had turned into an ordinary banned card rhythm that anyone could understand.
As his eyes swept over the piece of paper, Yu Cang's expression became strange.
"Senior, this...is the process above reliable?"
"It's unreliable in other people's hands, but in my hands—it's 100% successful." Tai Chu said casually, "However, this is probably a test from Madam Yu. If I do this, I'm afraid she will be able to confirm that I'm already in the Longevity Tent."
"...Then do it this way." Yu Cang's eyes became firm. "There is a conflict between Madam Yu and the Desolate Sect. We can trust her temporarily."
"Then I'll start."
"Wait." Yu Cang raised his hand to stop him. "In that case, I need to make some preparations first... to maximize the benefits."
…
Post Station
Yu Cang, Qiu Jindong and Lou Yan pushed the door open and walked outside leisurely.
Yes, Yu Cang went straight back to the post station.
Then, he walked outside as if nothing had happened.
"The scenery of this great royal court is quite nice." Yu Cang looked around. "In Yan Country, it's rare to see such a magnificent building."
Qiu Jindong shook his head and said, "The Great Wall of Yan Country is countless times better than the Great King's Court."
Yu Cang smiled: "That's right."
In terms of scale and significance, the Great Wall of China is a crushing winner.
Going all the way down, the road Yu Cang took was actually the road leading to the dungeon.
This made Sachan, who was observing secretly, a little confused.
Yes, Sachan has been keeping an eye on the situation at the post station.
Naturally, he was unable to detect Tai Chu's whereabouts, and had no idea that Yu Cang had just quietly taken a look around the dungeon.
He could only see that Yu Cang had no intention of hiding his body and just walked directly towards the dungeon in such a swagger!
This...what is this for?
Although the Imperial Master said that Yu Cang would definitely take action tonight and asked him to watch carefully...but you are acting so openly, aren't you looking down on the Hunters too much!
When they are blind?
"Commander Sa," the person beside him bowed and said, "Should we..."
“…Don’t act rashly.”
Sachan waved his hand.
"Stay where you are, I'll go out and meet them."
He didn't think Yu Cang was a fool. If that was the case, then he might have seen through the plan.
I originally wanted to wait for them to sneak into the dungeon and arrest them on the spot, but now it seems that Yu Cang will just go to the dungeon door and then go back.
Yu Cang is still a guest now, so this is not a good idea.
So, Sachan walked out from the darkness and walked towards Yu Cang and others.
…
"Huh? Sa Zhenguo?"
Yu Cang let out a light "eh" and looked very surprised.
"Why are you here?"
"I came out for a walk and happened to pass by here. I didn't expect to meet you guys."
A faint smile appeared on Sachan's face.
After the confrontation during the day, he had already placed Yu Cang on the same level as himself in his heart.
"How many of you are...?"
"Let's go out for a walk too." Yu Cang said, "It just so happens that Lou Yan is worried about his elder brother, so we thought of secretly going to the prison to take a look."
You're sneaking around.
Sachan secretly curled his lips in his heart.
But it makes sense.
He said that even if Yu Cang saw through the Imperial Master's thoughts, this response was not very clever and was completely useless... Now it seems that it was Lou Yan who was making trouble, and he was dealing with Lou Yan.
Humph, Lou Yan, you are so stupid.
Can't you see that Yu Cang accepted you as his apprentice just for political reasons? You're just a bargaining chip, and you actually consider yourself his apprentice and dare to ask for such a thing?
Innocent.
If the hunting tribe really fell into the hands of such a person, it would be the end of them.
Thinking of this, Sachan said, "Everyone, this is really not possible... The Imperial Master has issued a death order. No outsiders can enter the prison."
"I don't care!" Lou Yan, who was standing by, suddenly curled his lips and shouted, "I just want to see my big brother!"
Sachan: “…”
Yu Cang spread his hands: "You saw it too."
"Haha." Sachan's mouth twitched. "Ambassador Yu...you've really worked hard."
"Sa Zhenguo, what are you talking about? Lou Yan is my apprentice, so naturally I have to take care of him."
"But there is absolutely no possibility of compromise at this time. Please return..."
suddenly!
Before Sachan finished speaking——
Boom!!
A roar suddenly came from a distance, and the entire royal court seemed to be shaken three times by this roar!
Sachan's face changed.
The direction of this sound is...
"It's the dungeon!" Lou Yan's eyes widened. "Teacher, the explosion came from the direction of the prison... Something happened in the prison!"
He pointed at Sachan and said angrily:
"There are royal children still imprisoned in the prison. Is this how the Imperial Master supervises the dungeon? Aren't you afraid of the Khan's blame?!"
The corner of Sachan's mouth twitched. He was too lazy to talk to this idiot Lou Yan.
He bowed and said, "Something happened in the prison. I won't be accompanying you. You should go back to the post station first to avoid getting hurt..."
"Interesting." Yu Cang smiled. "How could I miss such a lively event? Qiu Zhenguo, let's go and take a look."
After saying that, he ignored Sachan and walked away.
"Everyone!" Sachan's tone became tougher. "This is a private matter among our hunters! You..."
boom!
The explosion sounded again, and this time, it was very close!
The sound of breaking wind cuts across the sky, approaching rapidly, something is coming!
At this moment, several auras that could protect the country rose up one after another, and they rushed over following the sound of the breaking wind.
Yu Cang's tone turned playful. "Sa Zhenguo, I thought your words this day were just excuses, but I didn't expect the Hunter Clan's prison to be so lax in its defenses. Judging from the noises... has another prisoner escaped successfully?"
Sachan: “…”
Unable to explain.
What the hell are those people in the prison doing?
Of course, someone escaped from prison is just an excuse, just a casual remark, but how can you really let someone escape from prison!
Could it be...
Sachan glanced at Yu Cang and the others with suspicion.
Did they do it?
...No, probably not.
I kept watching the post station, but no one came out.
Moreover, Yu Cang and that Zhenguo were standing right in front of him, so he couldn't go somewhere else to cause trouble.
Sachan withdrew his gaze, and at this time, the sound of breaking wind had already come closer, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of several people.
Seeing the figure, Yu Cang's expression changed, and Qiu Jindong's expression beside him also suddenly turned cold.
"Sachan!"
Yu Cang shouted, and even the Emperor's heart was stirred. The Emperor's might descended once again, enveloping everything nearby!
"This is—the prisoner of your Hunter Clan?!!!"
"This..." Sachan's face looked ugly, with cold sweat already appearing on his forehead.
Why did it have to be him...
The one who ran away was Li Anjiu?
boom!
The Tianmu King Sword instantly appeared in Qiu Jindong's hand. His eyes were locked on Sachan, ready to take action at any time!
"Everyone, let me explain..."
"ah!!!!"
In the sky, Li Anjiu looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
At this moment, he looked... no longer human.
Scarlet blood scabs solidified on the surface of his skin like armor, densely packed, hideous yet beautiful, and below his waist and abdomen... the human legs had disappeared, and in their place was the body of a horse!
Yes, at this moment, Li Anjiu looked very much like the summoned beast named "Centaur"!
The horse's body was also covered with blood-scab armor, and a scarlet gale swirled around Li Anjiu, rushing straight into the sky!
