Lu Chen felt that this couldn't go on!
It’s not that he can’t be imprisoned here by the bad guys any longer, but he feels that it’s not okay for the powerful people in Da Qi to continue treating him like a god.
It would be fine if the civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, treated him as Doraemon, but why is it that now some people are starting to treat him like Superman?
Before, he was asked to come up with all kinds of inventions, and now he's asked to use magic to teleport away. What else is required from now on? Are they asking him to go to the front lines alone to fight against the enemy's million-strong army?
What would he do then? Would he have to rub a nuclear bomb with his hands?
Looking at the panicked Li Mingyue, Lu Chen said in a deep voice, "Calm down. Things haven't reached the worst point yet. If we lose our composure now, we won't be able to escape."
After all, Li Mingyue had received a high-end royal education. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then lowered her voice and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
"Wait!" Lu Chen answered concisely, but this answer could not satisfy Li Mingyue.
She looked around and lowered her voice anxiously, "How long do we have to wait? We don't even know where we are or what's going on outside. What if these thugs get desperate and do something?"
Lu Chen shook his head and said confidently, "To be able to use powerful crossbows, which are only available in the military, in the capital, the forces behind these people must be extraordinary. Moreover, they dared to give me a day to think about it, which means that they think their current situation is very safe. So, they will not do anything to us in the short term."
"What are you going to do next? Are you really going to write down all the magic techniques your master taught you and give them to them?"
"If no one comes to rescue us after a day, then that's all we can do. After all, compared to our lives, the so-called magic is nothing but external possessions."
Li Mingyue looked at Lu Chen with mixed feelings and said, "You're quite open-minded."
Lu Chen smiled helplessly. What if he didn't open it? His arms couldn't twist his thighs.
He lowered his voice and said, "The situation is stronger than us now. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. There's no benefit in fighting them. Only by cooperating with them can we have a chance to spread the news and get someone to rescue us."
Li Mingyue thought about it and felt that what Lu Chen said made sense. She immediately responded, "Then what should we do next?"
Lu Chen looked around and leaned close to Li Mingyue's ear and whispered a few instructions.
Then the two men sat quietly in the cell. Judging from the layout of the cell and the humidity, it could be judged that it was probably underground.
He silently calculated the time using the formula "1001, 1002...2034". When he reached 2803, the dungeon door opened again. A thug came down with two bowls of porridge, threw them at the cell door casually, and said, "Eat!"
Li Mingyue glanced at the porridge on the ground and said in dissatisfaction, "You're just giving us this to eat? You must be joking!"
"Hey, what's the matter? Do you still want to eat delicacies from land and sea? Do you know what your current status is? How can a prisoner have so many problems?"
As the other party spoke, he lashed the bars of the cell with his scabbard, as if he was going to beat Li Mingyue if she didn't obey.
But Li Mingyue looked at him fearlessly, revealing the arrogance that only a princess could muster. "Tell your boss, if you want Immortal Master Lu to write everything down, then you have to serve him well. Every meal should have at least six dishes and one soup, and they should all be different. If he can't even do that, then forget about getting the Immortal Family's Dharma. He's not worthy!"
"you!"
The thug who delivered the food was so angry that his eyes widened. It was the first time he had seen such a rampant person.
But he really didn't dare to say anything harsh. If Lu Chen got crazy and refused to cooperate, he would definitely be in trouble.
Now, from what this woman said, Lu Chen was willing to cooperate. The murderer thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I'll go tell our boss."
After the thugs left, Li Mingyue came to Lu Chen with a nervous look on her face and asked, "How's it going? Did you get any useful information?"
"Well, we were captured at night. From the time they left until they brought us food, it must have been an hour and a half. And they brought us porridge, which was probably breakfast."
"Also, he just addressed the leader as 'Dangjia', which is a very underworld-esque term, indicating that this group of people are likely powerful and occupy the mountain. Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Li Mingyue was stunned for a long moment before she spoke in disbelief, "You were able to deduce so much useful information from just a few words? How did you do it? What's wrong with your brain? You're terrifying!"
Lu Chen chuckled and thought to himself, this is nothing. If you watch some detective movies and TV shows often, you can do this too.
Looking at the confident smile of the man in front of her, Li Mingyue's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She always felt that Lu Chen's image in her heart had become more mysterious and more calm and free.
She hurriedly asked, "Is there any other useful information?"
"That's all. Now it depends on how they respond to us." Lu Chen looked at the dungeon entrance and said, "I don't think they will keep us waiting too long."
Sure enough, not long after the murderer left, the big man who had just talked to Lu Chen came back.
At the same time, there were a few people following him, carrying lunch boxes, which emitted the aroma of food.
Lu Chen felt relieved, it seemed that the other party was willing to accept some of his conditions.
As expected, the big man came closer and said with a smile: "Master Lu, I am sorry for the poor hospitality. My subordinates are all rough men and don't know how to serve people. I am sorry for the neglect."
As the big man said this, he waved his hand and his men took the food out of the lunch boxes. Lu Chen took a look and thought to himself, wow, eight cold and eight hot dishes, this specification is much higher than Li Mingyue's previous requirements.
Lu Chen also bowed to the big man and said, "I wonder how this brave man became so confused?"
"Haha, the name is just a code name. Master, just call me Chen Laoliu."
Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't be so unemotional. He bowed again and said, "Master Chen, I've thought it through. If you just want to know the methods of taking blood in exchange for life, I'll tell you. But how can you guarantee that you won't kill me to silence me after I tell you these methods?"
"Haha, Master, you're joking. You're an immortal, how dare we hurt you?"
"That's not what Master Chen said. Let's just get down to business. As long as you can guarantee our safety, I'll tell you everything I know. To show my sincerity, I can help you check on the patient first!"
