Chapter 225: Being tricked
Chapter 225: Being tricked
After entering Shuangqi City, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion, which was already deserted.
It all happened so suddenly, the win feels a little unreal.
Moreover, the city lord Jiang Chen never showed up from beginning to end. Wuxin's residence was arranged in the city lord's mansion. She lamented that her magic power was low, and before she noticed the danger, a figure had already appeared behind her.
After that she lost consciousness. When she woke up again, Wuxin felt a splitting headache. She stood up and pulled the chain on her wrist, which made a sound.
She suddenly came to her senses and tried to break free, but after some struggle, she sat down dejectedly against the stone wall.
The light was dim around her, she groped for an exit, a hot tear rolled down her cheek, she touched her cheek without any intention, now she had no equipment and she didn't know where she had dropped the wooden hairpin, was she going to be trapped here to death?
Just when she felt helpless, a clear voice rang out, "Ms. Ye, you are scared!"
"Who is there?" Wuxin suddenly raised his head, looked around, and confirmed that there was a person standing not far away.
The firelight illuminated the darkness. She was in a cell, leaning helplessly in a corner. She squinted her eyes because she was not used to the strong light.
Now she calmed down and asked, "Are you from Shuangqi City?"
If the people from Shuangqi City didn't leave, and they hid here, if they attacked them by surprise, then wouldn't the foster father and his men be... Thinking of this, Wuxin's face turned pale.
She sighed, as if relieved, "I'm not a threat, why did you arrest me?"
"Miss Ye has talent, but it's a pity that she doesn't have much talent."
Wu Xin simply ignored him. As long as he didn't torture her, it was fine. She could just humiliate him as she pleased and pretend she didn't hear anything.
"I saw you crying quietly just now, why aren't you begging me to let you go now?"
The person in front of me was shrouded in darkness and I couldn't see his face clearly.
Wu Xin sneered: "A nobody has the right to do that."
She cared more about the fire than the people not far away.
"A nobody can decide your life or death. Miss Ye, why don't you give it a try? Maybe if you beg me, I will let you go."
Still thinking about teasing Wuxin, she suddenly said: "You are trying to catch the turtle in the jar"
Unexpectedly, the man smiled foolishly, "Ms. Ye can't even protect herself, yet she still cares about them."
She looked down at the stone walls on all sides. It was damp and cold in here, and she should be able to get out by digging a hole. But what about the chains on her wrists? Just as she was losing consciousness, the fire went out.
Wu Xin said nervously: "Leave the fire behind."
"beg me"
I don't understand what's wrong with this person, "Please"
The man didn't make things difficult for her and left the torch behind. Wu Xin was very grateful and said, "Thank you."
After the guard left, Wuxin thought of using fire to burn the chains, but the fire didn't work, and the fire became even smaller.
She suddenly changed into her original form and bit it for a while, finally biting off the hateful thing.
Regardless of anything else, the little rabbit worked hard to dig the hole.
In Shuangqi City, Ye Hongyin sent people to hunt down those who had escaped. This battle was too easy, so he was still vigilant and stationed a large number of troops outside just in case.
Soon after, he learned that his daughter was missing, and he felt uneasy. Just as he was about to give an order, his followers fell to the ground one after another. Ye Hongyin himself felt a strong pressure, and even after a hard fight, he was captured.
She dug the soil in the dark until a beam of light appeared. She had no intention of speeding up, but the smell of blood outside was a bit strong. She realized that something was wrong. As soon as she stuck her head out, someone grabbed her by the back of the neck.
"Got you"
Before Wu Xinhuan could recover from the shock, she was carried by someone. In the main hall, she saw her adoptive father who was now a prisoner, but she was still a step too late.
"Brother, are you still interested in this?"
"I just picked it up on the roadside." The person spoke in a calm and steady voice, but Wuxin felt that this person had bad intentions.
"Why not reward the troops tonight with a plate of braised rabbit meat?"
“Good idea”
Wuxin was trembling all over, her mind was blank. If she had known earlier, she would not have stuck her head out and would have turned around. There would not have been so many troubles.
Oh, right, I quickly ran back to get help. Unfortunately, something strange was put around her neck, and she used her claws to try to get it off, but it fell off the table.
"Why can't I take this broken thing off?" She collapsed on the ground exhausted. "Forget it, let's just leave first."
Just as Wuxin was flapping his limbs, the man raised his hand and the little rabbit flew into his arms.
"City Lord, the banquet is ready."
"it is good"
Upon hearing about the banquet, Wu Xin burst into tears. She had thought of many ways to die, but she didn't want to be skinned and dismembered, and the collar around her neck seemed to restrict her magic power.
She struggled desperately to break free from the demon. The only thing on her mind was escaping. What she hated was this damn collar.
No matter how she ran, she was always easily caught. She didn't want to accept her fate, but she was still taken to the banquet.
The rabbit was almost in despair, and her dying struggle was nothing but a small fight in front of the city lord.
Shuangqi City won, and everyone laughed wildly and toasted to celebrate the victory.
But when it was the city lord's turn, he just asked everyone to drink and not to worry about him, while he sat on the main seat stroking his little white rabbit.
From then on, the city lord would always carry the little white rabbit with him.
Wuxin just felt that he was overestimating his own abilities. He should have listened to his adoptive father and not come here. The city lord was not a fool. Although the city had won, Qiao Zhuangcheng and Ye Hongyin's troops had made the army outside the city run around in circles.
At night, she took advantage of the fact that the city lord was practicing and had no time to care about her, so she escaped and went to find Ye Hongyin.
"adopted father"
She found the dungeon where Ye Hongyin was imprisoned and saw that the old man looked somewhat disheveled.
"Wuxin, you didn't escape"
"How can my daughter let you go?"
When Ye Hongyin learned of her experience, he was planning to hide, but he refused. "This man is too sinister. You are too weak to be his opponent. Don't risk your life."
"Godfather, don't worry about your daughter." She had already obtained the key, opened the cage, and let the person out.
Instead of being complacent, a lazy voice sounded, "If I spread the news that the Fifth Elder surrendered to the enemy in order to save his life, I wonder what Gu Liang Cheng Xiao will do?" (The name of the demon king, Gu Liang Cheng Xiao)
Wuxin was still holding a bunch of keys. Now that she had returned to the city lord's hand, she was trembling all over.
Ye Hongyin smiled bitterly, "She is indeed old. Let her go, boy. I am willing to be trapped here."
Hearing the word "old", the city lord raised his eyebrows, ignored the man who changed his expression, and walked away with the rabbit in his arms.
“You’re so naughty.” Although the touch seemed intimate, Wuxin felt it was scary.
However, she heard an incredible piece of news from other people: an ancient demon was imprisoned in the nearby mountains, and the demon had achieved great success.
No matter how powerful a monster is, it will still be suppressed. Wu Xin didn't care that there was a top-grade fairy grass near the big monster. If she got it, it would be of great help to her cultivation.
Now her magic power is low and she cannot use the Xuan Yue Mirror. If she absorbs the magic grass, her magic power will definitely increase.
But from what those people were saying, it seems like it’s not easy to go to the place where the big monster is.
