Mask of Rebirth

Wei Ziyang has been walking on the rugged mountain road for several days, trekking all the way over the mountains and ridges, but he has no idea where he is going.

Thinking that I have been in this world for nearly ten years, but finally ended up homeless, not only that, but also became a repeat offender of "International Wanted". I don't know how many people want to take my life, what a failure.

I wanted to avoid the Qin and Lu countries and hide there so that no one knew Meng, but this idea seemed too naive.

If you want to go to Meng country, you have to go through Lu country. Wouldn't it be more risky.

In today's Lu country, almost the whole country is mobilizing to find him. There are reward lists with portraits posted on the streets and alleys, and even in remote mountain villages.With a reward of ten thousand taels, I'm afraid that if he showed his face, he would be bound and escorted to the government within a short time.

What's more, Qin Mu and Lu Yang made such a big noise, how could Meng Guo not know, and hiding there at this time probably wouldn't end well.

After thinking about it, and comprehensively weighing the pros and cons, Wei Ziyang decided to turn around and go back to Qin.

Isn't there a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place!What's more, Qin Mu decided that he had come to Lu country, so he would naturally focus his search on the territory of Lu country, and never expected that he would turn around and run back.

Therefore, when Qin Mu sent spies to Lu country one after another, Wei Ziyang had already swaggered back to Qin country, and even had the experience of brushing shoulders with those spies without any risk.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed, and Wei Ziyang seems to have evaporated from the world again, without even a shadow to be found.

Qin Mu was almost discouraged. He even wondered if Wei Ziyang was still alive. If he was alive, why did the monks of Jinchan Temple all say in unison that Wei Ziyang had never returned since he left the mountain seven years ago. Let go, and even put Xu Kong in the prison, but firmly insisted that others have already gone to the Western Paradise.

Xu Kong has been imprisoned for a whole month. Although he has not been tortured, the emperor personally interrogated him several times, which is enough for him.

The person being questioned is nothing more than the man with the name of nothingness, Kongkong firmly insists that he is just a villager, a lay disciple who is brought to practice because he has a family.Now that the fasting period has expired, he has long since disappeared.

After listening to this answer several times, Qin Mu knew that there must be something strange in it, but he still refused to torture the void.

In a hurry, he walked away, and even his subordinates were puzzled when they saw it.

"Your Majesty, if you hand him over to me, I will definitely make him tell the truth!" Lou Han is a master torturer, and anyone who has passed through his hands will be recruited.

Qin Mu naturally thought about his proposal, but every time he thought of Wei Ziyang, he couldn't bear to do it. "No, he is Ziyang's senior brother, if he finds out, he will definitely hold me against me!"

"But in this way, it is impossible to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Wei."

"I locked him up for another purpose."

Another purpose?Lou Han cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate is stupid!"

Qin Mu turned his head to look at him, his expression showing a hint of slyness under the light of the torch, "If Ziyang is a man who knows that his brother is imprisoned because of him, he will definitely blame himself very much. I think he will definitely come to save him."

But Mr. Wei doesn't know martial arts at all, so how could he get into this cell and rescue him unscathed? "According to my subordinates, Mr. Wei shouldn't be so...well, so overconfident?"

"He will!" Qin Mu's tone was very sure, "Don't forget, he is not a mortal! He is not afraid of facing a hundred thousand troops, let alone this small prison? In order to rescue his senior brother, he will It’s not impossible to use some extreme methods.”

Lou Han immediately thought of the powerful weapon that would blow up tens of thousands of troops in Lu Kingdom, "Do you want your subordinates to send people to take precautions secretly?"

Qin Mu waved his hand, "Of course not, what I'm waiting for is for him to throw himself into a trap, pass the order down, if someone is found trying to rob the prison, just let him in. If you let him escape, I will definitely kill your heads!"

"Yes!"

Qin Mu stepped away, and several jailers carefully sent him to the door, kneeling on the ground to send the emperor back to the palace respectfully!

Seeing the people walking away, the prison chief stood up dragging his massive belly. A soldier behind him saw Shi Chen, and quickly reminded him: "Brother, the banquet for Fulaixuan has been set up, so don't you come home drunk tonight." .”

"Asshole, don't you see the emperor running here from time to time? If you get drunk and miss something, can you bear it?"

"Yes, yes, damn it, let's not drink tonight, and just ask Miss Chunxiu to cheer us up?"

The head of the prison gave him an appreciative look, thinking of Chunxiu's snow-white body, he couldn't help feeling hot in his stomach, "It's okay! You guys, let me take care of it tonight. If there is any mistake, I won't pick it up." your skins."

"Yes!"

"Okay, okay, what should I do... You, and the new one, will deliver the food in a while."

"Yes! Little one obeys!"

The new soldier was thin and small, and he was really inconspicuous standing among the tall, fat, big-eared jailers. Therefore, he was often bullied and worked several times more than others, but he never complained. On the contrary, he worked hard.As soon as the cell boss left, all the work that should have been done by the two was pushed to him alone. The soldier said yes, and trotted into the dungeon all the way with his head down.

This dungeon is dark and damp, with snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. There are more than 30 steps all the way down. The narrow steps can only allow one person to pass. There are only two torches lit on the top, and you can't even see the road under your feet. How about a little soldier? It is easy to carry down several buckets of prison food, and distribute them to each cell according to the grade.

The last one sent was the empty prison cell.

Because of his special status, he was locked in a separate cell, and because of his martial arts skills, his feet were tied to the corner of the wall by two wrist-thick chains.

The soldier opened the cell door, brought in the food and placed it in front of him.Seeing him clasping his palms in front of his chest and chanting Buddhist scriptures, "Hey, stop chanting and eat first."

Kong Kong didn't pay attention to the person in front of him at all, instead he recited faster.

Xiao Bing covered his mouth and snickered, turned around and looked around, and whispered: "Senior brother!"

Kong Kong was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at it carefully, he had dark skin and black sparrows all over his face, it was really an unsightly face, he had never seen it before, and the hoarse voice was very unfamiliar, "You yes?"

"It's me, nothingness."

"Ah?" The light in the dungeon was too dim, and Void got closer and looked at it carefully. The facial features he saw were indeed nothingness, and Dang even showed shock on his face, "Junior brother, why are you here?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Wei Ziyang moved over and looked outside, and was relieved when he saw that no one was disturbed, "I have been here for several days, but people have been following me and dare not talk to you. How do I look like this? ? Is it enough to hide the truth?"

"Do you know that the emperor is arresting you everywhere, and you still dare to show your face, so you don't want to die?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Don't worry, I've been walking around under his nose for so many days and he hasn't noticed it. What are you afraid of?"

"Your voice?"

"It's simple, pour a few buckets of cold water and freeze it to change your voice... Don't talk about that, I'm here to save you."

Kong Kong patted his forehead with a headache, "You are so confused, if you rescue me at this time, won't it prove that you are still alive?"

"Then I can't let you be imprisoned here forever?"

"The emperor is just suspicious now. Wait for another month at most. If you don't show up, he will definitely give up. Then he will definitely let me out."

"That's right, but just in case..." Wei Ziyang sighed, "You don't know him at all. He is the most capricious person. He swears to me forever on the front foot, and then sends someone to kill me on the back foot. .It’s like this for me, let alone for an outsider.”

"Because of this, I can't let you take risks. Now that no one has discovered your identity, hurry up and go as far as possible."

"Are you kidding, how could I leave you here and fly away by myself."

"The emperor arrested me just to invite you into the urn, can't you see that?"

"Even if it is, I can't just leave you here. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. It will be my turn to be on duty three days later, and my old department will be guarding the city that night. I found that they would also let me go. If it doesn’t work, you can go to my elder brother Xue Tian, ​​he will not betray me according to our friendship.” There was a sound of shaking chains in the distance, it may be that the jailer came to check the prison. It was inappropriate to say too much, Wei Ziyang grabbed his arm and whispered: "You have to bear it for a few more days, I will leave first."

"Hey, Master...!" Kong Kong hurriedly stopped speaking, which might have alarmed others and had to temporarily watch him leave.

Originally, living in the void was very comfortable, at least he knew that the emperor would not do anything to him, and would let him out sooner or later, but now it is fine, but he is worried and afraid that he will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Since that night, there have been two people who have been patrolling back and forth, and Kong Kong didn't have a chance to talk to him. Fortunately, the emperor has not been here for the past few days, otherwise Kong Kong might be so scared that he would think of Amitabha.

On the appointed night, Wei Ziyang found a reason to force the other people in the dungeon unconscious.He turned over the key and opened the prison door for Kong Kong and loosened his anklet. Kong Kong had originally made up his mind not to leave, but now it seemed that it would be impossible not to send this junior brother far away, so he simply accepted him.

The two walked quietly all the way to the door of the dungeon, and it seemed that they would be able to escape. At this moment, they suddenly heard a sound from outside the door, accompanied by a sharp and piercing voice, "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Wei Ziyang was startled, and thought to himself: Oops!

Hastily locked the void back into the cell, and went to open the door after tidying up.

"His Majesty's order is passed on: Min Kong who declares a crime must immediately enter the palace without error, hereby!"
