C96 The Twists and Turns of the Road

The air in the cave was not very circulating. The group of people were stuck in the deepest part of the dungeon, and they gradually felt uncomfortable breathing, especially Dugu Xin, who had not fully recovered from his injuries. He almost felt suffocated.

The thin man smiled and raised his head. "This was originally my duty. As for who I am, if you ask me. I can only tell you that I am a nobody, a nobody not worth mentioning. If you have any worries about me, then you can just abandon me and find your own way out. "

Zhang Jun sneered but did not reply. He knew that this brat was speaking the truth. If he did not help at this time, Even if he spent another three days and three nights, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of here. The only way to get out of this place was by relying on this seemingly crafty fellow. As long as he could get out, then he would come again next time. It would not be so easy to talk anymore.

The thin man smiled and opened up a path. " Gentlemen, please, but I have to say this first. The road here is not easy to walk. I feel that you might have to suffer a bit before you can safely walk out. "

Dugu Xin slapped his thigh and said. " Aiya, brother, since you want to help us, then be a good man to the end. Help us out, how about it? Also, my ten or so brothers are still unconscious. You should also think of a way. "

The thin man glanced at Zhang Jun and said in a low voice," I really want to help everyone. It's just that everything is about being famous. What kind of name should I use to help everyone? Friends? I don't think so. After all, we have only met once. Relatives are even less important. "

The thin man was worrying about this when Dugu Xin suddenly remembered that the thin man had said that he wanted to become Zhang Qing's disciple when he went up the mountain. He nodded and said, Yes. " Little brother, I see that our bodyguard Zhang is very fated with you. How about I make the decision and let him take you as his disciple? What do you think?"

When the thin man heard this, his eyes immediately emitted a golden light. This was simply like a blessing from the heavens, and at this moment, it was descending upon his head. The thin man said excitedly: " The thin man said excitedly, This. . . This is really great. However, I don't know if Hero Zhang is willing to accept me as his disciple. "

Zhang Qing said with a smile. " Sigh, why not? Since Young Master has already spoken. . . I will definitely take you as my disciple. In the future, you and I, master and disciple, must work hard for the Dugu family. This can be considered as you doing good deeds by accumulating good deeds. "

The thin man quickly knelt down and said, Master!" Disciple Sun Yuan greets Master! "

After three kowtows, Sun Mian picked up the torch by the side. He whispered: "Master, everyone, wait for me to get the antidote first, then we will think of a way to break out together. " While they were talking, Sun Mian had already rushed out.

Ever since the group of people who had come back to life had blocked their path, Murong Ke had been in a gloomy mood. Especially after asking Shen Dongyang about it, he still found nothing, which made him feel a sense of crisis.

The group of people in the family were still locked in the Main Shrine Wall Mirror, even if there was enough food and water for a month inside. That was not a problem. For the sake of the present, the best plan was to find Murong Cheng and Mrs. Murong.

Mrs. Murong had already returned to the Gusu City, but she still didn't dare to return home hastily, because she had no idea who was controlling that so-called home. Logically speaking, after the Murong family lost Murong Cheng, it basically became an empty shell and couldn't be compared with the Dugu family. Therefore, she was very careful in every aspect, fearing that she would offend the swordsmen in the Gusu City.

Face was very important to the Murong family. Because they were a family of blade artists that had been passed down for hundreds of years, it wasn't easy to compare them with others. As long as there was someone who wanted to compete with them, it would be difficult to compare them. Saber techniques, if you avoid the battle and don't fight, it would definitely be an insult to your family.

It was just like how Mrs. Murong hid Murong Ke and did not fight him. This was enough to bring shame and humiliation to the entire Murong family, but there was nothing they could do about it. The number of people in the Murong family was very thin. When it was passed down to Murong Ke's generation, those who could support the destiny of their family would also be able to support the destiny of their family. Murong Ke was the only one. Therefore, even if he had to use all his family's strength, he had to protect Murong Ke.

Murong Ke was the last hope of the family. The so-called glory and reputation were not important. Therefore, Murong Ying would rather die in battle than let the Murong family have no successors.

Any family of blade artists needed to summarize and inherit. Only by constantly summarizing the failure and success of their predecessors would they be able to reach a higher level, and then pass on the will of their ancestors to bring the glory of their family to greater heights.

Murong Ying understood this principle very well. For the past few decades, he had fought all over the world for nothing more than this. Mrs. Murong held the key to the Main Shrine Wall Mirror that Murong Ying gave her and suddenly felt a little sad. What was wrong with the Murong family? Could it be that under her lead, they were walking towards their doom step by step?

She didn't dare to think about all of this, but everything had proven her thoughts. The Murong family had almost been wiped out, and she was the one responsible for all of this. As the patriarch of the family, Mrs. Murong didn't take responsibility for the glory and prosperity of the family. Instead, she lied again and again for the sake of her son.

Mrs. Murong wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. When she heard the knocking at the door, she immediately put away the key and pretended to be calm as she said. "Who is it?" There were three long and one short knocks on the door. Mrs. Murong then opened the door. " How is it?"

The person looked around before entering the door. "Madam, don't worry. Those people have already left the Murong family, but now there is another person living in the Murong family. "

Mrs. Murong was shocked, "Who is it?"

That person hesitated and said, "I don't know who this person is, but it seems like this person has some connections with our Murong family, because he buried all of our family members who died in the battle. Besides that, the Main Shrine Wall Mirror is also perfectly fine. It should be his credit. "

Mrs. Murong seemed to have an idea in her heart. She recalled what the man with the leopard face said that Murong Ke might have really returned. She paced left and right and asked, " Yes. "

That person shook his head and Mrs. Murong continued to ask, " So, those people have already withdrawn from the Gusu City?"

That person still shook his head. " Those people are crazy now. I heard that the Shen family has been turned upside down recently. Their family business has almost been ruined by them! Now, these people have turned the Five Phoenix Brothel into their stronghold. It seems like they don't want to leave anymore. "

Mrs. Murong heard this and seemed to not believe it. She thought about it. This Shen family was not a martial arts sect. It was just a landlord. Why did they take action against them? What was the purpose of this group of people? Was it not to seize the supreme power of the Gusu City towards the swordsmen?

That person reminded: "I heard that a few days ago, Xiao Nanfeng went to the Five Phoenix Brothel and seemed to have a fight with them. "

When Mrs. Murong heard Xiao Nanfeng's name, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. An indescribable feeling arose spontaneously. She said faintly, "Why did he go and challenge them? Could it be that they offended him too? How was the result?"

That person laughed and cried," Don't look at how arrogant he usually is. This time, he really suffered. I heard that if he left a little later, his head would have moved. "

Mrs. Murong was even more in disbelief. Could it be that there were so many masters in this world? Xiao Nanfeng's martial arts was undoubtedly very powerful. Across the entire Gusu, there were only a few who could compete with him. But at this moment, he almost lost his life. Then, how terrifying were their opponents?

Mrs. Murong fell into deep thought, but at this moment, she could at least confirm one thing. Her son had returned. As long as Murong Ke returned, then there was still hope for the Murong family. Even if they suffered a crushing defeat now, there was still a chance to turn the tables.

No matter how strong the opponent was, she had to find a way to defeat him. This wasn't a form of stubbornness, but a kind of responsibility. She had already killed dozens of Murong family's lives because of her carelessness. If she didn't find a way to make up for it, it would be too unreasonable.

"Madam, why don't we communicate with the Dugu family? It was said that the Dugu family had been suffering these days. The so-called Godly Knife Sect had already put pressure on the Dugu family. They even used the Murong family as an example, hoping that the Dugu family would submit to them. " The man said.

Mrs. Murong was surprised," What? Godly Knife Sect? How is this possible? You said that the one who attacked our Murong family that day was the Godly Knife Sect? This, this is ridiculous. "

The man said with a bitter smile. " Could it be that Madam doesn't know? The flag they were using now was the Godly Knife Sect. But it was strange that the Godly Knife Sect was so gentle to the Dugu family. They had been talking about it for many days now. The entire Gusu knew about it, but the Dugu family still did what they wanted. The Godly Knife Sect didn't take any action either. "

Mrs. Murong shook her head. " This can only mean one thing. The Godly Knife Sect has a lot to do with the Dugu family. We can even suspect that the Godly Knife Sect is the representative of the Dugu family. Perhaps, the real big shot behind them is a member of the Dugu family. "

The man shook his head and said. " It's said that Dugu Xin has already been captured by the Godly Knife Sect. Besides that, the dozens of bodyguards in their family are also missing. Their current business in the Escort Office seems to be unable to continue. "

Mrs. Murong hesitated and said, " In that case, it seems that there is indeed no problem with the Dugu family. Then who is behind this? Wait a minute. You just said that the Dugu family Escort Agency's business can't continue? Are you serious?"

The man clapped his hands and said, Yes. " That's right. I don't dare to joke about such a thing. There isn't a single capable bodyguard in the Gusu who dares to take on business. "

Mrs. Murong nodded her head and said, Yes. " The Murong family's bodyguard department is closed, and the Dugu family's bodyguard department is also closed. The Shen family's bodyguard department might also be in imminent danger. Which family's bodyguard department is operating normally in the entire Gusu now? Could it be that all of them are gone?"

The man nodded his head and Mrs. Murong said, Yes. " It seems that the so-called Godly Knife Sect did not come for the family of blade artists, nor did they come for the rich. Instead, they came for the Escort Office. As long as there was an Escort Office, they would find trouble with whoever they were looking for. Don't you think so?"

The man nodded: Yes. " That makes sense. But why would they target the Escort Agency? It's hard to understand. What do they want in the Escort Agency? "

"This is exactly what I'm puzzled about. Later, you go and investigate and see what's missing in each Escort Agency. Or rather, where did all the people from the security bureau go? " When Mrs. Murong said this, The man backed out.

It was late at night. With Sun Mian's help, Dugu Xin and the others had finally all been cured of the poison. As for how they were going to escape. . . They didn't have a perfect plan. First of all, all of their weapons had been taken away by the bandits. They wouldn't be able to find them in a short period of time.

Secondly, the only path that they could escape from was currently occupied by over a hundred bandits. They were surrounding a bonfire, eating meat and drinking wine, enjoying themselves. It was already very difficult for Sun Mian to get the antidote from the fire.

Zhang Jun had a bad impression of Sun Mian. He thought that Sun Mian was too utilitarian and did not have any so-called loyalty to the underworld. As a man of the martial world, Zhang Jun had always treated loyalty as something more important than his life.

"I say, Junior Brother, you've brought us around this place, and you've only taken one hole? I saw that when they brought us in earlier, it was very convenient. " Zhang Jun pretended to be picky.

Zhang Qing immediately scolded him. " Jun-er, don't speak nonsense. If it wasn't for your junior brother, we would still be trapped in the dungeon. How can we say such words now?"

Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Zhang Jun also realized his slip of the tongue, but he didn't have any intention of apologizing.

Sun Mian said with a smile. " Master, I don't blame senior brother for thinking this way. If it was me, I would also have doubts. After all, this path is really different from the previous one. Because the path I am taking you is a path that the guards above will never think of. This path is the darkest and most damp, which is why you almost slipped when you came back a few times. "

Zhang Qing nodded, and Dugu Xin also smiled and said. Brother Sun is really thoughtful. In my opinion, as long as we follow you, we will definitely be able to get out of here. We won't have to worry about that anymore. "

Sun Mian shook his head and said, No. " Sigh, that might not be the case. Look, now as long as we pass through this secret passage, we will be able to reach the place where we must go down the mountain. And behind this secret passage is the place where they hold the celebration banquet. Therefore, it's still an unknown number. Everything depends on everyone's luck. "

Dugu Xin asked. " Is there no other way to go down the mountain? Just like the other way. "

Sun Mian shook his head. " No, when this place was our old nest, It was precisely because of this that we took a fancy to it, even though there were all kinds of paths behind it. The only path down the mountain was one, and it was a narrow and narrow path. The specialty of this path was that it was easy to defend and hard to attack. As long as there's one person guarding the intersection of the narrow path, that person will be able to defend against tens of thousands of people. "

Dugu Xin nodded thoughtfully. Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said, Yes. " Then it seems that we can only sit and wait for death?"

Sun Mian said, " They are currently drinking. One should know that wine is generally not bad. Sometimes, it may not be a good thing. "

Dugu Xin laughed softly. " Yes, Brother Sun is really powerful. Once they are full, we will have a chance to go out. Not only can we go out, we might even be able to catch them all in one fell swoop! "

Sun Mian nodded his head. " That's exactly what I mean. As long as we hide now and wait until midnight, they will definitely be drunk. No one will miss this good opportunity. "

Everyone found a secluded place to hide, waiting for Sun Mian to send them good news.
