King's Landing [Rebirth]

Cold night, no wind, the moon hid in the clouds, only showing a little halo at the edge of the clouds, dark and unclear.

The guards of the county government office were all drowsy, yawning and handing over to their companions.

"Come on, if you are so listless, you will be hit by the board." Someone reminded in a low voice, but the companion dismissed it, and laughed: "Why are you afraid of the board? You will lose your life. Are you afraid of the board?"

What the companion said hit the sore feet of the people present, everyone clenched their weapons tightly, looked at each other, sighed in unison, no one spoke, and dispersed.

Two black shadows flashed out from the darkness, and when the group of people left dejectedly, they flew into the county government office.

There was a dead silence in the county government office, only the candles in the corridor were emitting a faint light, and there was no one around.The two figures who sneaked into the county government fell into the dark place, avoided the candlelight in the corridor, and adjusted their breath.

Mei Zhenghan leaned into the corner, leaned | on Liang Jian's back, looked around, leaned into his ear and whispered: "There seems to be no one here."

Liang Jian didn't answer, he and Mei Zhenghan stood in the corner, and the range they could see was limited.Mei Zhenghan leaned half of his body on him, but he was fearless.The county office is too quiet, as if no one lives in it, which is very abnormal.If no one was there, where did Xu Ze, Wen Yao and others who came in the afternoon go?

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream broke the silence in the dark, and Mei Zhenghan quickly stood up straight and looked towards the place where the sound came from, which was the place where the county yamen women lived.

"Go and have a look." Liang Jian squeezed Mei Zhenghan's palm, signaling Mei Zhenghan to go with him.

The two jumped onto the ridge of the roof, bowed their waists, and walked lightly like cats preparing to hunt.

"Ah, why, why did my face become like this, didn't you say I would be fine? You liars."

The closer it was to the source of the sound, the clearer the sound was, like a woman yelling hysterically, the voice was high and sharp, and the person who heard it got goosebumps.

Liang Jian paid close attention to the movement around him, and couldn't help but frown when he heard the voice. He grabbed Mei Zhenghan and lightly landed on a house, crawled between the beams, and carefully lifted a piece of tile to reveal part of the room.

This is the only room in the county government office where candles are lit, and it is also the wing room of the county magistrate's concubine.Dim candlesticks were placed in the corner, and the light in the room was not bright.Liang Jian could only see a blurry figure waving his arms with his back facing him, as if he was yelling at someone.

"I've helped you with everything you have to do. I even helped you get rid of those people today, but you didn't give me what I wanted. It's not fair. If you don't help me, I will kill you." Tell me everything you did in prison."

The woman's scream was high-pitched and piercing, Mei Zhenghan covered her ears and gave Liang Jian a look.

The people the woman mentioned just now probably refer to Xu Ze and others, have they all been dealt with?Mei Zhenghan was a little startled, and his face was not very good-looking.

Liang Jian made a silence gesture to him, beckoning him to listen to him, Mei Zhenghan moved his body slightly, Liang Jian leaned into his ear and said, "Don't worry, Xu Ze is a county official anyway, they still want to Weigh it."

It doesn't matter if you kill the county magistrate, but it's not so easy to kill the county magistrate. If you don't handle it well, there will be a lot of troubles in the future. Liang Jian guessed that they were locked up, but they didn't know where they were locked up.

The women in the room were still making noise, but they kept repeating those few sentences, and there was no more useful news.The space of the tiles was limited, Liang Jian could not see the appearance of the person opposite the concubine, only his drooping hem.He lay on the roof for a while, making sure that the little concubine had fallen into a state of madness and would not tell any useful news, so he was not interested in continuing to eavesdrop, but left with Mei Zhenghan.

The dead and silent county government is like a sleeping monster, with its mouth wide | waiting for its prey to fall into its mouth.The people on patrol were just performing their tasks stiffly, and didn't notice anyone coming.

Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan walked through the county office to the prison, where guarding and defense became obviously different.There are two braziers at the entrance of the dark and dark prison, the fire is burning vigorously, and the surroundings seem to be daytime.The gatekeepers wore uniform black uniforms instead of officers and soldiers' clothes, and they held different weapons instead of uniform spears.They stood expressionless, and under the light of the fire, their faces were as stiff and pale as woodcuts.

These are bugs!

Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan hid in the darkness with solemn expressions.

Insect people don't feel pain, and their other senses are weaker than normal people, and they haven't noticed anyone sneaking in. Their only purpose of staying here is to kill any living thing that breaks in or out.

The light of the fire drove back the surrounding darkness, and there was no shadow to hide at the prison door. Liang Jian and the others had to find a way to extinguish the brazier or lure the insects away if they wanted to enter the prison.

Liang Jian counted the number of buggers, there were eight in total, within the range he could handle, but he didn't know if the bugger who injured Ye Cheng was here.

Liang Jian stared at the entrance in thought for a moment, then turned to Mei Zhenghan and said, "Zhenghan, I'll lure away the worms at the door later, so you can take this opportunity to enter the prison. You only need to do two things after you go in, one is to find Xu Ze Their whereabouts, the second is to keep all the situation in the prison in mind, and retell it to Sheng Xue after returning home, so that she can judge whether it is the same as her guess."

Insects are not easy to deal with, Liang Jian plans to lure them away in person.

Mei Zhenghan shook his head in disapproval, pressed Liang Jian's shoulder and said, "I'll go and lure the bugman away. I'm more familiar with the surrounding situation than you, and I know where to run."

After Mei Zhenghan finished speaking, without waiting for Liang Jian to object, he raised his silver gun and flew out.When those worms saw someone coming to rob the prison, they stepped forward to fight Mei Zhenghan one after another.Mei Zhenghan wields a silver gun and fights with them inseparably. After making sure that all the insects have joined the battle, he pretends to be invincible and loses.The bugman immediately chased after him, and he was bound to take down Mei Zhenghan.

Liang Jian moved to the entrance of the gate in the dark, and waited for those worms to chase after Mei Zhenghan, then he dodged into the prison.

The prison is dark and humid, with no sunlight all year round, and the smell of flesh and blood permeates everywhere.The few oil lamps gave off a dim light, like sunlight wrapped in thick fog, so weak that one suspected that it would be extinguished in the next moment.

Liang Jian went all the way down the stone wall of the prison, the smell became heavier as he went inside, the light became brighter and brighter, and there were faintly piercing screams.A shadow cast over Liang Jian's heart, he probably guessed what he would see.

The cages in the deep part of the prison are all independent. With the bright light, Liang Jian saw that the people of Qiao County were densely locked inside, and they were all naked|naked.Either rolling with their heads in their arms, curling up their bodies, or hitting their heads against the wall...the postures are different, but the purpose is the same, which is to relieve the pain on the body.

They howled and screamed in the cage, their eyes were blood red, in order to catch the Gu worms in their bodies, they did not hesitate to cut countless wounds on their bodies with broken tiles, and bit off their own flesh and blood with their mouths, dripping with blood.

The Gu insects tortured them so badly that they didn't even feel that they could still be called human beings now.

Even though she was prepared in her heart on the way here, Liang Jian was still speechless by the scene in front of her.Scenes similar to this in the previous life kept flashing in my mind, and those desperate cries were lingering.Those worms refined by them suffered hellish torture when they accepted the Gu worms into their bodies.

It's just that the former self watched coldly, without the slightest sympathy in his heart, and ruthlessly carried out the plan.Faced with it now, I just feel disgusted.When people become cruel, even demons are no match.

All the voices gathered in this small dark cage, they were resentment and unwillingness, despair and anger, which shook people's minds.Liang Jian suppressed the strangeness in his heart and searched for the whereabouts of Xu Ze and the others, bypassing this hellish cage, until at the end of the depths, Liang Jian saw Xu Ze and the others.

Floating to the side of the prison like a ghost, Liang Jian glanced roughly at the situation inside the prison, frowning slightly.Xu Ze was lucky, he was fine, but he was still in shock, and the people who followed him were slightly injured but not serious.They are all here, but Wen Yao is nowhere to be seen.

Liang Jian stood outside the cage and called Master Xu. Xu Ze, who was sitting on the ground with a frowning face, was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly looked up with a look of surprise on his face.However, it didn't take long for him to react when he was happy, and he hurriedly got up from the ground and strode in front of Liang Jian, and said worriedly: "My lord, why are you here?"

Liang Jian said: "It's hard to say, why is Wen Yao not with you?"

The affairs of Qiao County cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so Liang Jian skipped asking about Wen Yao's whereabouts.

Xu Ze's face collapsed, and he said sadly: "After we entered the yamen, we found that something was wrong. Wen Yao was seriously injured in order to protect me, and was just taken away by a worm. I don't know where they took him. .”

Liang Jian's face changed slightly, he didn't meet the so-called bug people at all during the walk just now, he thought it was because the two Gu masters were careless and didn't set up defenses in the prison.

Seeing Liang Jian's expression was wrong, Xu Ze quickly realized that, judging from the time when Liang Jian came in and the time when the Zerg took Wen Yao away, they should meet halfway.There is only one road in this dungeon, there are no secret rooms or secret passages, if Liang Jian didn't see it, it must be because someone on the way found something wrong and hid.

A strong sense of crisis rose in Liang Jian's heart, and he held the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand, all the nerves in his body were on alert.Xu Ze suddenly raised his head and looked behind him, his pupils narrowed and he exclaimed, "Be careful..."

Before Xu Ze finished speaking, Liang Jian's figure moved. He blocked the attack from behind with a lancet in his hand, and his dull face was reflected on the clear snow-colored blade.

It's a worm, but it's different from ordinary worms.This bugman retained most of his consciousness, and his face was not stiff and pale, but also a little rosy.If it weren't for his pupils to be filled with creepy whites, Liang Jian would have recognized him as an ordinary person.

Liang Jian looked at the long sword in the Insect Man's hand, swung the knife to distance himself from his attack and said, "It seems that you stabbed Ye Cheng, no wonder I can't feel your breath."

The insect man paused slightly when he heard the words, he tilted his head to listen to Liang Jian's voice, and said expressionlessly, "Who is Ye Cheng?"

Liang Jian was taken aback for a moment, this bugman could answer his question on his own without the Gu Master operating.This is not as simple as simply retaining consciousness, Liang Jian's sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier.He didn't want to fight, he took a look at Xu Ze's place and rushed out.

The insect man heard his movement and knew that he wanted to run, so he flipped his wrist and released four more darts in his hand, and shot them at Liang Jian in unison.Then his figure followed closely, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Liang Jian heard the sound of piercing through the air behind him, turned around in a circle, and knocked down four darts with a knife.However, before he could stop, the worm rushed in front of him, the long sword whistling through the air.Liang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his left arm and shot a sleeve arrow.The bugman's sword didn't stop even when it was hindered, it just veered slightly and cut down stubbornly.

Liang Jian took advantage of the cushion of the dart to take half a step back, and supported the sharp edge with the back of the knife.The worm man was so powerful that Liang Jian's jaw was numb from the shock.

The prison passage is too narrow, and neither of them can use their hands and feet.Liang Jian was still concerned about her physical condition, but the worm did nothing about it.Liang Jian couldn't escape for a short time after being entangled by him. If this continues, all the worms lured away by Mei Zhenghan will come back, and they will definitely suffer from the enemy at that time.

"damn it."

Liang Jian cursed in her heart, glanced at the big prison on the side, and let him stab her shoulder with a sword, and cut off the chain of the prison door with a long knife.When the blade collided with the iron lock, sparks flew everywhere, and there was only a clatter, and the iron chain that locked the door fell to the ground, and the prison door slowly opened.The wailing people inside looked at the open cell door and crawled out one after another.

Liang Jian, who was chasing him, gave up and even abandoned Liang Jian, turned around and escorted those people back.

Liang Jian covered her stabbed arm, ignoring the bleeding, and took the opportunity to rush out of the prison.

The lights outside the prison were dim, Liang Jian came with a cold wind and extinguished the two pots of fire, the world was plunged into darkness, Liang Jian chased after Mei Zhenghan without looking back.
