Chapter 39: You Can't Escape

Chapter 39: You Can't Escape

Today, Luofu is filled with an atmosphere of restlessness and anxiety, and no one can explain the reason until the rumor reached their ears.

"Who are you talking about?" Sanyueqi looked at Qingque in surprise, "The future General Jingyuan is seriously injured and still in the prison?"

The loud volume attracted the attention of people around, but since everyone was discussing this matter, they all turned their eyes away after confirming that they had no latest news.

"Hush!" Qingque gestured quickly and corrected the order of events: "It should be said that he was seriously injured in the Prison of Hell."

She lowered her voice and whispered, "Although this matter is known to everyone, it is not appropriate for me to tell you this."

Xing nodded in understanding, and lowered his voice as if it was a secret meeting, "So the general was lynched?"

All the sounds around fell silent with these words. For the people of Luofu, this was indeed an idea that had never been thought of before.

After all, the Ten Kings Division has always been something they are extremely wary of, not to mention that ordinary suspects cannot enter the Ten Kings Division, let alone the rare term "lynching".

But whether it was or not, Qingque could not respond to this. She shook her head and said strictly, "The most widely-held rumor right now is that Mr. Jing Yuan was not sent to the Prison because of his abnormal condition, but because of some other crime that is not convenient to be made public."

These comments were full of rumors, and Dan Heng directly traced the source and asked, "Who first spread this news?"

"If you ask someone else this question, it may be difficult to answer, but I do know the answer." Qingque did not keep the secret and immediately gave the answer, "It's 'Dan Heng'. ”

Xing and Sanyueqi looked at Danheng at the same time, and even Danheng was stunned for a second.

Qingque quickly added: "It's Dan Heng who was with Mr. Jingyuan."

"Ah, it's the Dan Heng of the future!" March 7 responded belatedly.

But Dan Heng seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Do you know where he is now?"

"Wait for me." Qingque took out the jade sign and typed quickly. Soon he received a reply: "A poker friend said he saw him at the Qilongtan."

"Thank you." Dan Heng thanked him hurriedly, and then said, "Let's go."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Xing, who was a step slower, blinked. Before leaving, he asked curiously, "Where did the future Dan Heng reveal this?"

"Du's Tea House." Qingque, knowing that she was leaving, answered very quickly, "If you want to know the details, I will send it to you directly through Yuzhao's private message."

"Okay, okay." Xing nodded hurriedly. When he looked back, he could hardly see Danheng and Sanyue. "Hey? Wait for me!"

It must be said that Dan Heng was really concerned about this matter, so much so that Xingcai caught up with them all the way after they arrived at their destination.

"Unlike other immortal species that are blessed with abundance, the Vidyadharas come from the grace of immortality." Dan Heng took a step forward and looked warily at the back that looked no different from himself. "Pray to the dragon and it will surely be heard. You didn't come here to pray, are you waiting for us?"

"Dan Heng" turned around and looked at them. His indifferent eyes instantly reminded Dan Heng of himself in the nightmare - or rather, Dan Feng.

"You must have heard the rumors." Dan Heng sighed, but the next words were like a bombshell exploding in their ears, "I suspect Jing Yuan's imprisonment is not simple, but from my point of view, my credibility is far inferior to that of everyone in the train crew. ”

He separated their positions, but March 7th clearly saw a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Sensing such emotions, Sanyue softened her tone and said, "We do have the right to enter and leave the prison freely. Do you want us to..."

Before she finished speaking, Dan Heng interrupted her and said, "If you just want us to help you, there is no need for you to deliberately spread such information in Luofu."

Danheng rarely interrupts others, especially those on the train. And the hidden hostility at this moment made San Yue Qi look at Xing in doubt.

What is going on? San Yue Qi asked with his mouth.

Xing Tanshou shook his head, and very wisely pulled San Yue Qi back a few steps, leaving the altar completely to them.

This retreat is like a sudden change from a participant to a spectator. San Yue Qi looked at the empty Qilongtan, then at the people standing on both sides, and realized, "Do they want to have a fight?"

The next moment, both people on the Qilong Altar looked towards March Seventh.

"Uh, just pretend I didn't say anything." San Yue Qi took a step back decisively, "You guys continue, continue."

"I have no intention of provoking a dispute." When the familiar words came out at first, San Yueqi thought it was their Dan Heng who was speaking.

But in fact, it was "Dan Heng" who said this. Even in the face of undisguised vigilance, Dan Heng still explained calmly: "He won't do anything to harm Luofu. Similarly, I won't target any of my fellow passengers on the train."

"But you still haven't given any explanation for spreading rumors." Dan Heng had no way of judging his emotions, he only agreed with his logic.

"......" "Dan Heng" finally gave an answer, "Because I need to let them know."

"They?" Dan Heng asked.

Coincidentally, Xing received a private message forwarded by Qingque. She looked at the two people from the Qilongtan and confirmed that they had no intention of fighting for the time being, then she forwarded the message with confidence.

Beep—Dan Heng’s jade omen sounded.

"Dan Heng" raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, so Dan Heng clicked on the message in the group and quickly browsed it.

The forwarded content is told from a third-person perspective, and it was noted at the beginning: I happened to go to Du's Tea House for a drink, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!

As everyone knows, because of the general and "Jing Yuan", we Luofu people tend to pay more attention to the three people around him, and today "Dan Heng" is obviously in a particularly bad mood, it can even be said to be terrible.

"This is the strongest tea we have." Boss Du had just put the tea bowl on the table when Dan Heng picked it up and drank it all.

Boss Du, who was about to ask what happened, choked up in his throat and silently went to bring over the second bowl.

After repeating this several times, Boss Du finally stopped, "Brother, let's not drink anymore. If anything goes wrong, my teahouse will be in jeopardy."

He looked at Dan Heng worriedly and couldn't help but babble, "To be honest, I've already given you the experimental version of the Fiery Strong Tea."

That was a tea that made even the pioneers dizzy after drinking it, but who would have thought that Dan Heng would be fine after drinking it.

Is this the value of the former Vajra Dragon Lord?

Boss Du had a bitter face and sighed, "What kind of obstacles can we immortals not overcome? If it really doesn't work, you can go and discuss it with the general."

After saying that, Boss Du felt a chill rushing towards him. He immediately fell silent. Although he didn't know what had happened, it was always a good idea to warn the offender first.

As a result, before he opened his mouth, he heard Dan Heng whisper: "But if Jing Yuan is seriously injured in the prison..."

Boss Du felt his mind go blank, and he subconsciously raised his voice, "Who did you say was seriously injured in the Prison?"

"Dan Heng" looked over calmly, and Boss Du then realized his situation.

......But who wouldn't lose composure if this happened to them? !

Boss Du lowered his voice and asked, "Which general are you talking about?"

However, it was useless even if he lowered his voice. After all, the people around were paying attention to the situation here. At this time, there was silence, and even the breathing slowed down. They were just waiting for the follow-up of "Dan Heng".

All eyes converged on him. Dan Heng was silent for a moment, then responded, "He is not your general."

Boss Du breathed a sigh of relief, and then eagerly retorted in the next second: "What do you mean he is not our general? General Jingyuan is our general wherever he goes!"

Yu Zhao made two beeping sounds at the right time, and Boss Du subconsciously avoided it. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, "Dan Heng" had already left.

......So what happened to Mr. Jingyuan? !

The forwarded content ends here, and it looks like it was copied from a forum.

Almost at the moment he finished reading it, Dan Heng was certain that even if this message was not sent by "Dan Heng", it must be related to him.

Therefore, Dan Heng did not give a detailed introduction, but simply asked: "Is what is said here true?"

As expected, Dan Heng nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes."

Dan Heng was silent for a long time before he finally responded, "I can join this operation, but they..."

"Since Danheng wants to participate, of course we can't be left out!" Sanyueqi shouted from afar and waved to Danheng.

Xing also waved the baseball bat in his hand and nodded confidently to Dan Heng.

They couldn't hear the conversation at this distance, but perhaps because of their several pioneering experiences, Sanyueqi and Xing knew his every move.

"......" Dan Heng sighed, but did not refute anything. Instead, he responded, "We will participate in this investigation, but it is just an investigation."

"Of course, I won't put you in a dilemma." "Dan Heng" said decisively, and then sighed.

Although he didn't say anything, Dan Heng somehow heard the meaning from this silent sigh: I wish "Jing Yuan" could be like you.

So what does Jingyuan want to face alone? It's not impossible.

But is there anything that a General Shen Ce needs to face alone in the prison? Or was it because he faced it alone that he was thrown into the prison?

While thinking, Dan Heng suddenly realized, "What about General Jing Yuan?"

No matter which possibility it was, Jing Yuan would never allow the other party to be thrown into the Prison for no reason. However, there was no sign of Jing Yuan's involvement in all this, unless... "What happened to Jing Yuan?"

A persistent dream, real and reasonable, yet never present in his memory.

Jing Yuanyi woke up from his dream and coma. He slowly recalled the vague content until he heard Qingdun's hurried footsteps.

"General, how do you feel now?"

"I feel refreshed. I feel like this sleep has made up for all the things I've been missing." Jing Yuan confirmed, and then joked, "I may not need to sleep for the next few days."

Qing Du didn't believe him. He only felt relieved after getting a positive answer from Bai Lu. He began to summarize to Jing Yuan what happened during the days he was unconscious.

Jing Yuan, who thought he was in good health, suddenly had a headache: "Have I slept for several months?"

Jing Yuan simply flipped through the report which contained more detailed records.

The follow-up of "Jing Yuan" was done very well, and there was no need for secondary processing, but how did he get himself into the prison in just three days?

"Also, Lingsha Siding sent a report." Qingzhu accurately pulled out the report and said solemnly, "You must take a look at this first."

The serious tone made Jing Yuan realize something, and he immediately opened the book to check.

The report strictly discusses the various pharmacological mechanisms of the drug and finally draws a feasible conclusion.

Along with the report, there was also a private message: This antidote can be said to be perfect, but the King of Medicine secretly invented this thing and naturally would not specialize in researching the antidote. Therefore, I really can’t imagine how Mr. Jing Yuan came up with such an accurate answer in such a short time.

Although the word "unexpected" was used, his words hinted at a possibility: "Jing Yuan" had known about this for a long time.

But the level of knowledge alone was not enough for a general who had no medical experience to recite it by heart, so it was very likely that he had personal experience.

The memory in the dream seemed to be clearer because of this. Jing Yuan, who had originally planned to go to General Tianji to get information, paused and changed his mind, saying, "It seems that I have to go to the Prison of Desolation first."

Walking on the familiar road, Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel some complicated emotions in his heart. It seemed that every time he met an old friend, it was always in an inappropriate place, especially this meeting with "Jing Yuan".

Jing Yuan obviously didn't expect to meet him at this time, and the first thing he said was a clear protest: "I didn't expect you to come all the way to see me."

He looked at Jingyuan solemnly, his expression full of hints of tension.

As expected, "Jing Yuan" chose to enter the prison on his own initiative.

"As you said, this time we are not here for a visit." Jing Yuan looked at the chains on the man's body, frowned and looked at the bandage on his wrist, but he only responded according to the scene in his dream, "We received an anonymous letter with detailed ingredients and instructions for making an antidote."

At that moment, Jing Yuan clearly saw the surprise and uneasiness in the other person's eyes.

He gripped the chain with a trembling hand and replied with a familiar line: "So, you came here just for me to congratulate you on finding a way to rescue them?"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan's eyes dimmed. So the dream is not just a dream, but something that really happened to Jingyuan.

......I didn’t expect that Nandina domestica’s medicine would have such an effect.

Does the secret attack of the Medicine King have anything to do with him? Jing Yuan thought about it subconsciously, but avoided the follow-up and only asked with concern, "Your injury..."

"You don't need to worry about it." The cold tone sounded as if they had some deep hatred.

Although there had been some speculation before, once this sentence was uttered it was 100% certain.

——"King Won" is fishing by using himself as bait and creating the illusion of discord in the identity of a criminal.

"You still didn't give up the plan after all. I have repeatedly expressed my disagreement." Jing Yuan responded cooperatively, but secretly accused him of being stubborn.

"I also said that I don't even need your consent." Jing Yuan sneered, with a hint of imperceptible pride in his tone, "You can't stop me."

What on earth is there to be proud of? There was endless helplessness mixed with genuine anger. Jing Yuan knew that if it were him, he would do the same, but this did not prevent him from wanting to beat "Jing Yuan" awake.

But he was still rational enough. He would not interrupt Jingyuan's plan after he had paid so much, even if Jingyuan planned to give up on himself in this plan.

"I will stop you." Jing Yuan said calmly, like another promise, a promise left for himself.

"Jingyuan" looked at him straight and didn't give any response. After a moment, he looked outside the cell suggestively, silently saying: It's time for you to leave.

Jing Yuan took two steps forward and used his body to cover his waist to hang a sachet. "You can't run away, no matter where you are."

He said suggestively. Di Ting is a specially trained bird that can be used to find people and objects, and the scent of this sachet represents the highest target of Di Ting's search.

Jing Yuan could sense that "Yan Qing" was still guarding nearby, so as far as safety was concerned, "Jing Yuan" would be safe for the time being.

But just in case, he had to leave behind a method to find "Jing Yuan".

After saying this, he left without any hesitation and without looking back.

"Yan Qing" who was hiding nearby really wanted to ask a few questions, but at this critical moment when even conversations had to be done in code, it was not appropriate for him to show up in person.

Wait a little longer, just wait for the signal of "Blade"...

"Yan Qing" reminded himself. Then I heard a broadcast from the prison: There was a fire in the recording cell, and the surveillance footage was damaged. All units are requested to strictly guard their posts, and report immediately if any prisoners escape.

Repeat: There was a fire in the recording room, and the surveillance footage was damaged. Please stay at your post and report immediately if any prisoner escapes.

The time is now. "Yan Qing" put on a nightgown. Although his height and appearance made him recognizable to familiar people at a glance, at least in the dark prison, it could reduce the possibility of being exposed early.

He stepped forward with a sword in hand, and this attire, as expected, aroused the hostility of the military officer: "Please put down your weapons and stop immediately!"

"Yan Qing" quickly approached and started fighting with him.

Jing Yuan, who was in the prison, just calmly watched the chaos outside.

He looked at "Yan Qing" who was at a disadvantage because he had some tricks up his sleeve, at the three people on the train who were rushing over after hearing the chaos in the distance, and finally at a group of unknown beings hiding in the dark and ready to make a move.

Finally, he lowered his head and smiled silently.
