Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Wuyue didn't expect that he would be in such a situation.

After he came out of the courtyard, he walked back alone as usual. He liked this feeling. The night breeze blew and he was half drunk. It was a rare leisure after a busy day.

But tonight was different. When he was halfway there, several people dressed as Taoist priests suddenly walked towards him.

At the beginning, Zhang Wuyue didn't take it seriously. Xingang was still under construction. It was not surprising that the most people here were people from various Xidaomen.

But when the distance between the two became closer, the Taoist priests from Xidaomen suddenly came closer and surrounded Zhang Wuyue.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Wuyue realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Wuyue asked warily.

The leader had a Chinese face and said, "Zhang Wuyue, right? Our boss wants to meet you."

"Who is your boss?" Zhang Wuyue asked.

Xidaomen sometimes calls their boss "boss".

The Taoist priest from the Central Plains said, "You will know after you go there."

Zhang Wuyue said, "Okay, I'll tell the people around me."

At this moment, the Taoist priest from the Central Plains struck out like lightning and grabbed Zhang Wuyue's wrist.

Zhang Wuyue broke away for a moment, but remained motionless - this person was a man of heaven and earth cultivation, and Zhang Wuyue was no match for him at all.

"I think it's not necessary, right?" the Taoist priest from Zhongyuan said coldly.

Zhang Wuyue didn't know that these people came with bad intentions and said, "Who are you? You are not Taoist priests from Xidaomen."

"You don't need to know." The Central Plains Taoist priest winked, and several people controlled Zhang Wuyue and stuffed him directly into a large box that had been prepared long ago. They also posted a talisman on the box to prevent him from getting out. Possibly, someone drove a carriage over, and these people put the boxes on the carriage and headed straight to the port.

The box isolated the inside and outside, and Zhang Wuyue didn't know where he was transported. When he came out of the box again, he found himself in a dark room.

Standing around were the Taoist priests with Central Plains faces who kidnapped him.

Zhang Wuyue was somewhat calm. Although he was panicked, he did not lose his mind. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Are you asking for money? If you are asking for money, then that's easy. After all, money is something outside the body. As long as it can keep me safe, I will It will definitely meet your requirements.”

The Taoist priest's face looked like a zombie, without any change. Only the occasional movement of his eyes could prove that he was a living person.

The man slowly said, "Mr. Zhang is joking. Your sister is Zhenren Zhang and your brother-in-law is Zhenren Qi. If we put you back, how could these two masters give up? I'm afraid they will take the money but not spend it."

open

May's face changed, "Then what do you want?"

The person said, "I told you, our boss wants to see you."

Zhang Wuyue became more and more confused, "Who is your boss? Where is he?"

The Taoist priest from the Central Plains said, "I can't tell you who our boss is yet. As for where he is, of course he is in the Central Plains. After all, the southern continent is the territory of the Xidaomen, and it is not convenient for him to come here."

Zhang Wuyue was shocked when he heard this.

He was not a fool, and had already picked up many different meanings. These people knew that his sister was Zhang Yuelu and his brother-in-law was Qi Xuansu, yet they dared to kidnap Huangfuji under his nose, and slapped three people in the face at once. He even slapped the Zhang family in the face, which cannot be explained by a bold or desperado.

The greater possibility is that these people are emboldened. Who has such confidence? Who has such means?

The answer is obvious, it is Taiping Road.

Only Taiping Dao doesn't care about Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu, and only Taiping Dao can have such great energy to directly send people to the southern continent to arrest people.

After thinking about this, Zhang Wuyue immediately said, "You have broken the rules. I am a member of the Zhang family. If you are in the first year of junior high school, don't blame others for being in the fifteenth year."

The leader of the Central Plains Taoist priest twitched the corner of his mouth, probably with a cold smile, and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhang has already made some guesses, but I still want to explain to Mr. Zhang that we are not trying to do anything to Mr. Zhang, we are just trying to I just brought Mr. Zhang back to the Central Plains. When I get to the Central Plains, I will definitely let Mr. Zhang go free without harming Mr. Zhang’s life. How can I say that I have broken the rules? "

Zhang Wuyue gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, are you from Fengxian Hall? Or from Beichen Hall? Let me go free? Do you want to use my matter to beat Master Zhang?"

The Taoist priest from the Central Plains said, "It seems that Young Master Zhang is still a smart man, quite self-aware, and knows what he has done. We don't think we have wronged you. We can only say that the method was a little radical. Not only will we make a serious review afterwards, but also I will serve wine and apologize to Mr. Zhang - if Mr. Zhang can come out of hell."

Zhang Wuyue couldn't help but scolded, "Fuck you, what have I done? The company has been closed down, and the money earned has been confiscated. What you people have done is a hundred times worse than me. Just because of you, You have the nerve to check me out, and you don’t deserve to be so arrogant in front of me? Damn it!”

The Taoist priest from Zhongyuan was unmoved, "If you say we shut down, we will shut down. If you say we confiscate, we will confiscate it. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? I've seen a lot of people like you. There must be more than this number, and there are others. Don’t you need to pay tribute to your superiors when doing this kind of business? And these tributes are not a small amount.”

Zhang Wuyue understood clearly that this group of people were really here for Zhang Yuelu. At this time, he was frightened, angry, and regretful. He regretted not listening to Zhang Yuelu's words and running out to do some business.

"Yes, I have paid filial piety. Do you know who I paid filial piety to?" Zhang Wuyue was so angry that he didn't care. "Do you want to know? I can tell you now."

There was a slight smile on the face of the Taoist priest from Zhongyuan, "Oh? Mr. Zhang is willing to cooperate? That would be great. As long as Mr. Zhang cooperates well, I promise that I will not hurt a hair of Mr. Zhang, even if I go to hell. It’s just a formality, you can have whatever you want inside, whether it’s food, clothing, women or men.”

Zhang Wuyue laughed and said, "I gave all my money to Li Changge, as well as Li Tianzhen and Li Minghuang. These three are my good brothers. You kid tied me up because you didn't have the eyesight. Believe it or not, I let my three brothers be killed." you?"

The small smile on the face of the Taoist priest from the Central Plains disappeared immediately and became lifeless. "Young Master Zhang is still in the mood to joke, but he is still in the mood to joke, but we will discuss it slowly after we return to the Central Plains. I have many ways to make Zhang Young master cooperates honestly.”

These people originally wanted to take Zhang Wuyue away overnight, but they almost succeeded. Because the target of the flying boat was too big, they did not choose the flying boat. Instead, they used a small boat to catch up with a cargo ship that had set sail in advance, and planned to rely on the cargo ship. Under cover, they quietly left the Southern Continent.

It's just that they underestimated Huangfuji's determination and courage.

Huangfu Ji gave an order, and Xitiangangtang sent warships, which chased back all the ships that had set sail that day. Anyone who dared to disobey the order and refused to return would be punished for treason.

It can be said to be very harsh.

Moreover, Xidaomen is still a place where human rule is still the main rule, and no one pays much attention to procedures. No one will think that Huangfu Ji is trying to intimidate people.

In the end, all the ships returned and were temporarily blocked in the port. No one was allowed to land. Then Juesheng Church sent people to search carefully ship by ship. Since there were relatively few flying boats, the flying boats were searched first.

So these people and Zhang Wuyue returned to Xingang. The faces of the Taoist priests were gloomy, obviously they did not expect that things would turn out like this. Zhang Wuyue was gloating over his misfortune, eager to watch the show.

Do you really think that Huangfu has no temper? You grab people from under his nose and slap him in the face. It's okay if you don't get caught by him. As long as you fall into his hands, no matter who you are, you will not end well.

Zhang Wuyue even thought leisurely that the Li family was intensifying conflicts. He was originally worried that Li Changge would take the initiative to win over Huangfu after he arrived, but now it seems that he probably won't.

However, these people also have great magical powers. After all, there is a heavenly being sitting in charge. Seizing an opportunity, they secretly went ashore and took Zhang Wuyue out of the cargo.

The ship moved to another secret stronghold.

They made a simple division of labor. One person stayed to guard Zhang Wuyue, while the other went out to inquire for information.

After some inquiring, they found that the situation was not optimistic, because Huangfuji's handiwork was so big that he almost surrounded Xingang into an iron barrel. Now people are catching spies everywhere, and they even caught a few people from the Gospel Ministry. There was no way they could escape with their unfamiliar faces.

Under such circumstances, it would be unrealistic to take away Zhang Wuyue, so they thought of another way, asking Zhang Wuyue to write a confession, take photos at the same time, and then take away the evidence. The worst case scenario would be to accuse Zhang Wuyue in the future. In May, he escaped during the detention and interrogation and fled to the Southern Continent.

It's just that their action team mainly arrests people and is not equipped with alchemists and wizards. If they want to make Zhang Wuyue honestly "admit his mistakes" and "explain the problems", he has to use some violent methods.

Of course, before that, the Taoist priest from the Central Plains still communicated with Zhang Wuyue and promised that as long as Zhang Wuyue seriously "explained the problem", he would be spared the physical pain.

Zhang Wuyue naturally refused.

The Taoist priest from Zhongyuan said expressionlessly, "Then we have to follow the procedures."

His two men began to "go through the procedures". A Taoist priest took out a whip. It could be seen that the whip was wrapped with various strange talismans and copper coins. Compared with ordinary talismans, the handwriting on these talismans was bright red, with teeth and claws showing, and a hint of A ferocious and ferocious air. As for copper coins, they have become rare since Daxuan introduced new coins. It can be seen that there is the word "Ming Yong" on the copper coin, which is the reign name of Sejong of the previous dynasty, more than 300 years ago.

The Taoist priest waved his whip and said, "Master Zhang should know what this is. If Master Zhang doesn't know, it doesn't matter. I can tell Master Zhang that this is called the 'soul seducing whip'. It has a cliché name. It hits the body without any scars." , it doesn’t hurt, even ordinary women and children can bear it, but the accompanying pain in the soul is not that simple, and it is harder to bear than any physical pain.”

The Taoist priest's tone was gentle, as if he was trying to persuade someone.

Zhang Wuyue is not surprised. Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall are known as the two fists of Taoism. One is inside and the other is outside. They are undisputed violent institutions. How can the people of Beichen Hall be gentle and polite? How can they pay attention to benevolence and forgiveness? road.

It's just that Zhang Yueyue really insisted on fighting to the end today. "Come on! If I, Zhang Yueyue, are afraid, I am not Zhang Yuelu's younger brother, and my surname is not Zhang."

The Taoist priest stopped talking and whipped Zhang Wuyue fiercely.

Just as the Taoist priest said, the force of this whip hitting the body was so ordinary that it didn't even leave a trace of blood.

But at this moment, Zhang Wuyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.
