After the immortal disappeared

It turned around and made a sharp syllable, like a whistle. Behind it, a finless porpoise instantly sank into the water, probably to send an announcement to the aquatic tribes in Liuhe River.

The rest stayed because He Lingchuan requisitioned six fishing boats in Xiahe Bay. In order to travel quickly with light loads, each boat held two passengers.

The fishermen untied the cable and threw it into the water. The lively finless porpoises took one bite and dragged the fishing boat towards the center of the river.

Two finless porpoises drag a boat with ease. Once started, it gets faster and faster.

It was obviously just a gentle breeze on the river, but the boats were dragged by them and it felt like riding the wind and waves.

It's a bit awkward for the fishermen to stand on the bow of the boat. It doesn't matter whether the oars are extended into the water or not.

The six boats all went downstream, at a speed of at least fifty miles.

The current of the Liuhe River is sometimes fast and slow, and there are many rocky islands in the middle of the river. If you use human power to row a boat, you have to be careful to avoid it, and it is far less fast than the finless porpoise.

What's more, He Lingchuan knew that under the seemingly calm water, the Liuhe aquatic tribe in this section of water had been mobilized to faithfully carry out the order of the Demon Kingdom's prince to find people.

Looking for a boat on the huge Liuhe River is like looking for a needle in a haystack, only for humans.

No matter how meticulous Wu Kai's escape was, after all, he was just a human being with limited means and limited abilities.

He Lingchuan sighed in his heart. This tracking method is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

…

Three days later, far away in Lingxu City.

There were people gathering downstairs at Zhaixingxing. From sunset to moonrise, there was no chance to enter.

More and more people were waiting, chatting with each other, and even talked about the sudden fire of Qingfu Temple, which was popular in Lingxu City.

When asked, they all came for the same thing.

After another half hour, the number of people gradually decreased again.

If you can't get in, you can't get in. The people above are leaving them alone, so there's no point in waiting any longer.

In the end, only three people were left, staying where they were and refusing to leave.

This time, it wasn't until the moon was at its peak that the lantern keepers in the Star-Zhaing Tower walked out through the shadows of the trees and saluted them:

"Are some of the elders here to investigate the case?"

"That's right. The matter is serious and we want to see the emperor!"

"The emperor is communicating with the gods and will not return to the palace tonight."

That is to say, if we don’t leave this Star-Zhaing Tower, you won’t be able to wait.

"But this case, this case... must be discussed and considered, and special personnel will be sent as soon as possible."

The lampkeeper said respectfully: "The emperor said that the envoy previously sent to Chiyan will investigate the matter together. He should have arrived in Baishajian, please don't worry, elders."

"The special envoy sent to Chiyan?" The three of them were surprised. They had never heard of it before. "Who is it?"

Don't worry means that you are not allowed to interfere. They all understood.

"That's Mr. Bai from our Star-Zhaing Tower."

The three of them looked at each other, and sure enough they all shut up, but with complicated expressions.

…

The next day.

As the sun faded in the east, the residents of the white sand were once again awakened by the rumble of horse hooves.

Some of those who got up early witnessed the crown prince's envoy returning to the city in triumph, and at the same time brought back a carriage and a prisoner who was tied up with five flowers.

This news will of course be spread outwards at an accelerated pace with the help of thoughtful people.

Wu Kai, the key witness in this series of Bai Shaqian cases, failed to escape and was captured by the prince's special envoy!

In three to five hours at most, the whole city will know.

When He Lingchuan returned to the inn, Fushan greeted him warmly and gave him a high-five:

"You are really good!"

He had been on tenterhooks these days, and he was relieved when He Lingchuan escorted Wu Kai back to the city.

Stable!

He Lingchuan clapped his arms with him, then smiled and said, "Is Cen Boqing peaceful these days?"

Fu Shanyue spit on the ground: "An Fen... what a p!"

It turned out that in the past few days since He Lingchuan left the city, Cen Boqing had not stopped, escaping again and again, and even tried to disguise himself and try to sneak out of the house, but Fu Shanyue blocked him back.

The two of them were fighting, and no one else dared to get close. In the end, Cen Boqing was defeated, half of his arm was broken, and he returned to the house in frustration.

Fu Shanyue's anger was also brought out. Seeing that this man refused to drink toast, he simply ordered Lu Dutong to lead people to build walls to seal the front and back doors of Cen's mansion. If there is a shortage of food and drink in the house, the officers and soldiers will buy it and throw it over the wall, and the people inside will not be able to even think about getting out.

If you dare to jump out, you will be beaten.

Anyway, these days the white-sanded civilians feel comfortable watching the excitement.

Fu Shanyue even rented the mansion next door to the Cen Mansion and sat in the attic to keep an eye on it personally.

He was a demon, and he was very energetic even if he didn't sleep for several days and nights.

In this fatal game, Cen Boqing's several attempts ended in failure. Fushan Yue saw him getting angry and smashing things in the house several times. Bai Shaqian was a hurdle in his life. As long as he got over it, he could escape back to Lingxu City, where his chances of winning would greatly increase.

What a pity, I just can’t get out!

Fu Shanyue was a little proud when he said this. After all, Cen Boqing was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face by him when he sneaked out of the house, which was regarded as revenge for the past in Lingxu City.

He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and examine Wu Kai."

Wu Kai was not imprisoned in the county jail, but was detained alone in the wine cellar of the inn.

Now he enjoys the same treatment as Fu Songhua, and he also wears a pair of shackles with runes drawn on them. This thing can imprison spiritual power, and prisoners cannot use magical powers.

As soon as the prince arrived, everyone's work efficiency instantly increased. The wine cellar had been emptied, and there were only two chairs inside, while Wu Kai sat on the ground wearing shackles.

In the four corners of the cellar, there is also a formation that prohibits escape techniques to prevent prisoners from being robbed by someone escaping in.

Needless to say, there were guards guarding both inside and outside the cellar.

Fu Shanyue and He Lingchuan walked into the cellar and saw Wu Kai sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

When someone comes, he doesn't open his eyes.

The guard in charge of guarding said that Wu Kai had been like this since he arrived, not talking or moving or opening his eyes.

"Wu Kai." Fu Shanyue pulled He Lingchuan to sit down, "What would you like to eat or drink?"

Wu Kai is like an old monk entering concentration.

The pursuit on the Liuhe River turned out to be more twists and turns than He Lingchuan expected - Wu Kai changed boats midway.

Everyone spent a lot of effort and almost lost the pursuit.

Fortunately, Shui Ling showed strong control over the water tribe in this area, and within a long time, he found the whereabouts of Wu Kai's new ship.

After changing boats, the four people continued to go down the river for nearly a hundred miles and landed at a small pier. The groom, Wu Kai's daughter-in-law, and grandson pretended to be a family of three, while Wu Kai went north alone.

The reason why it took three or four days was that He Lingchuan hoped to use Wu Kai as bait to catch other big fish. What's more, when Wu Kai landed here, He Lingchuan saw that he wanted to take his family to escape from the Chiyan Kingdom.

As long as they enter the Lingxu Realm, it will not be that easy for the pursuers to catch them.

Everyone is also monitoring Wu Kai very closely. If Cen Boqing remotely attacks the identity card in advance, they will rush out to rescue him.

Fortunately, Wu Kai did not collapse suddenly.

During the two days of being monitored, Wu Kai never contacted anyone.

Either he couldn't find anyone to help, or he didn't dare to ask for help.

He Lingchuan then captured them all at the border checkpoint.

However, Wu Kai's caution also left a deep impression on He Lingchuan.

As a reward, starting from the second half of the year, the finless porpoise's energy as a Liuhe water spirit will be greatly increased.

But the old man had been passive and stubborn since the day he was arrested. His grandson screamed and his daughter-in-law cried, but he remained unmoved.

It seems that he has thought clearly.

"Aren't you just waiting for a price? Okay, okay, don't show off to me." Fu Shanyue sneered at Wu Kai's style, "Otherwise I will bring your grandson down and suck him off in front of you. "

Tough tactics + noble status, this kind of opponent is the most troublesome.

Wu Kai then opened his eyes and said solemnly: "If you dare to hurt him, I will never speak until I die."

"If you tell the truth, your grandson might still have a way to survive."

Wu Kai closed his mouth again and remained silent.

No matter what Fu Shanyue said later, he just wouldn't continue.

Walking back to the ground, Fu Shanyue felt dissatisfied and waved his hand to the guard: "I'm going to punish you, pry open his mouth!"

This method is still simple and crude.

He Lingchuan said: "I'm afraid it's of little use."

Sure enough, after a long time, the guards came to report that Wu Kai fainted and died twice after being tortured, but he gritted his teeth and refused to confess.

"He also knows that he is the most critical witness. If he doesn't confess, he and Cen Boqing may not be guilty." He Lingchuan said lightly, "If he confesses, he will not escape death. If it were you, would you confess?"

"You can't make this analogy!" Fu Shanyue said with a righteous look on his face, "Do you think I look like someone who knows the law and breaks it?"

He Lingchuan pretended not to hear these words: "In a few days, Lingxu City may send a special envoy down, and things may turn around. So whether it is him or Cen Boqing, what they want to use the most now is the 'drag' tactic .”

Fushan Yue pondered, "They are already suspicious of each other, let's just put more effort into it."

It would only be bad for them if these two things worked together.

"Isn't this already started?" He Lingchuan entered the city this morning with this intention in mind.

Now, the news of Wu Kai's arrest has probably reached Cen Boqing, right?

He Lingchuan thought for a while before entering the cellar again.

Wu Kai was still sitting there with his eyes half closed, but his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there were blood stains on his clothes.

I don’t know how Fu Shanyue’s guards entertained him.

He Lingchuan dragged a chair and sat down next to him. The sound of the chair legs scraping the floor was harsh and harsh.

When the first sound sounded, he noticed Wu Kai's eyelids moving.

Why are you pretending to be calm, but you are not listening to everything? He sneered in his heart and then said to Wu Kai: "You still think that you and Cen Boqing are on the same line. In fact, it is safest for him to kill you to silence him. After all, the secrets of the syrup beads and the elixir are in your hands. He There are so many dirty things that you did. As long as you, the key person, prove his death, he can get away with it."

Wu Kai was motionless and his breath was calm.

"Of course, you've probably already thought about this. I see that a few of your amulets are broken. Is it because you were on the run for the past two days?"

Wu Kai looked at him steadily.

He Lingchuan observed his expression and said a long "oh":

"As expected, Cen Boqing has been secretly cursing you these past few days!"
