Chapter 559.
The girl named Xiao Jiu gradually calmed down.
And that Ah Zhuo said in a low voice after making sure no one was around:
“You, me, Ah Zhuo, Ah Shang, and Ana ……
“A few of us grew up together.
“I can neither believe that Ana would kill Ah Chuk, nor can I possibly believe that Ah Shang would give up avenging Ah Chuk’s death if the matter were true.
“After all, …… who can’t see what Ah Shang has in mind for Ah Zhu?
“In here, there is bound to be a truth that you and I don’t know.
“And want to know the truth, the most direct way …… is to ask Ah Shang.”
“But, Ah Shang’s mouth has a tongue sealing compulsion ……”
Xiao Jiu looked up at Ah Zhuo:
“You’re planning to unlock his tongue sealing compulsion privately?
“Are you crazy?
“Do you know that the order to seal the tongue compulsion was given by the patriarch’s grandfather, if you unlock it privately, once you are discovered ……”
“Then don’t let anyone find out.”
Azhuo said in a deep voice:
“There is always some price to pay for wanting to know the truth.
“But if this truth can save my friends and brothers, then no matter what kind of price, I am willing to bear it.”
“I’m with you!”
Xiao Jiu hurriedly said:
“You can’t be allowed to risk your life alone in this matter.
“If, in the end, the truth is that I really misjudged him …… how much I hit him today, I will definitely make him double hit back!!!”
Ah Zhuo sighed and glanced at Xiao Jiu:
“This matter is not trivial, can you really think about it?”
“If you won’t let me ask Grandpa Clan Chief, I can only follow you and ask Ah Shang.
“Otherwise, there are some things that cannot be accounted for.”
“Good.”
Ah Zhuo nodded:
“In that case, tonight at Zi Hour, right here …… you and I will sneak into the dungeon to find the truth.”
“Why is it Zi Hour?”
“At Zi Hour …… the patriarch’s grandfather needs to practice compulsion and is distracted.
“Other than his old man, even if it is discovered by others, there is no way to stop you and me.
“If things can’t be done, we can still dump this matter to those Hundred Clans who have come to the meeting ……”
“But, they don’t have anything to do with this matter, will it be a bit bad if we do this?”
“There is nothing bad ……
“Under the law of the mountain, which one of them is not a person with hands full of blood. To be able to come here, it is even more unknown how many dead souls have been added to their men.
“If we can take the blame for you and me, maybe the mountain god has a feeling and can spare part of their punishment after death.”
“…… Hmm!”
After the two discussed the matter, they left in two directions.
One went to stand guard at the entrance, waiting for visitors.
The other went back to rest ……
It was only after these two people were out of sight that Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi showed themselves out.
After glancing at each other, they simultaneously looked towards the cave entrance:
“Really caught ah ……”
Although when these two people exchanged words, what they said under their breath was always that ‘Ah Shang’, but between the words, it was obvious that this Ah Shang was Wu Di.
“When was he recaptured?”
Tang Yuyi scratched her head:
“Should we save him now?”
“There are old horses who know the way who intend to strike tonight, so why should we barge in on our own, just come over and follow them tonight.
“As for when it was captured …… it should be between these two days.
“Otherwise, according to the temper of that little nine girls, Wu Di is only afraid that it has already been cold.”
“Well …… then come out again this evening to see?”
“Good.”
Since the key to the problem had already been found, Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi didn’t wander around outside blindly.
After folding back into the guest room, they gave a general overview of the matter.
Everyone also said that they understood, except for the eldest princess who wanted to speak again and again, obviously wanting to ask about the battlefield on the northern road line.
Jiang Ran gently patted her hand, letting her be at ease, and if she could find Wu Di at night, she would definitely inquire with him.
The time during the day did not pass quickly, and with something on your mind, it was always hard to avoid spending the day like a year.
Fortunately, Jiang Ran and the others were not bad at raising their qi, so they didn’t really feel anxious.
Just the food and drinks sent by the Flute Clan, everyone was very cautious and didn’t touch them.
What they ate was still the dry food they carried.
This, Jiang Ran was no exception.
Although he relied on the fact that he had a somewhat invulnerable constitution and scoffed at most poisons, but this was the Flute Clan after all, and there were simply too many experts in using parasites; there was no strongest, only stronger.
Without a bit of caution, even the old drunkard here might have to fall head over heels.
Seeing that the time was about to reach about midnight, there was suddenly a clamor.
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi had already changed into their night clothes early and hid in their daytime hiding place, and when they heard the sound coming from near the main gate, they looked forward to it.
They thought that this might be Ah Zhuo’s ploy to distract the manpower on the dungeon side.
The dungeon side did indeed send out their manpower to the main gate.
At that moment, the midnight hour had arrived.
Xiao Jiu and Ah Zhuo also arrived as promised, and saw Ah Zhuo waving his hand, followed by strutting directly towards the dungeon.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were wearing night clothes and masked faces, Jiang Ran would have simply mistakenly thought that they were relying on their identities and hadn’t put the guards in their eyes at all.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that although these guards were still standing, their eyes were glazed over.
Obviously, they had already been neutralized.
Immediately, he pulled Tang Yuyi and followed behind Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu.
Just heard Xiao Jiu say while walking:
“You say this matter, is it really as you and I suspected?
“Grandfather Patriarch even called me over in the afternoon, knowing that I had beaten Ah Shang in the daytime, and gave me a beating on the hand.
“Said that even if Ah Shang has made a mistake, he should be disposed of according to the clan rules, and should not let me do it privately ……
“Grandfather patriarch has been so public and private all his life, how can I not imagine ……”
“Nothing in this world is impossible.
“Ever since Ah Zhu died, even if someone told me that you and Ah Shang were changed from two pigs, I would have to seriously doubt that there is such a possibility.”
“You fart!”
“A girl’s mouth is no good.”
“It’s not because you’re talking nonsense, is it?”
These two people were casually gossiping along the way, which caused Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi to look at each other in dismay.
Was this a friend who grew up together, or a flirting couple?
Perhaps, the friendship of growing up together is this way of being able to speak without a word?
This dungeon is not as unfathomable as Jiang Ran thought.
After traveling for a short while, after solving one after another crop of unknown guards, Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu came to a place where the dungeon was located.
Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu came to an iron dungeon.
This iron prison existed independently and was not interconnected with the other cells.
In front of the door stood four Flute Clan experts guarding the door, giving a very adequate rehearsal.
It was a pity that under the intentionality, after Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu casually exerted their means, these four were already lying down.
Looking further in, he saw that one person had his hands and feet bound and was hanging in mid-air.
There were blood marks all around his body.
Some of them had already stopped bleeding, and there were some unnamed bugs climbing on them, which seemed to be gnawing on the rotting flesh and removing the rotting muscle.
“Ah Shang ……”
Xiao Jiu saw this and took a deep breath, a large part of these wounds were brought to him by himself.
At that moment, he was about to reach out and push open the cell door.
But the next moment his wrist was tackled.
Xiao Jiu twisted his head to look at Ah Zhuo, and saw Ah Zhuo let out a light laugh:
“Come out.”
Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi glanced at each other and both saw a big ‘fraud’ written in the other’s eyes.
This grandson was deceitful!
“I’ve already spotted you.
“Still not coming out, are you going to make me invite you?”
As Ah Zhuo’s words left his mouth, Jiang Ran had already sensed that on the ground, between the weeds, something was moving rhythmically.
Immediately, he sighed:
“I knew I had to be extremely careful when dealing with you guys who use parasites ……
“And how did you find us?”
For his part, Ah Zhuo was even more taken aback:
“Is there really someone? If it wasn’t for the fact that the parasites in my body have been signaling, with my martial arts skills, I wouldn’t have been able to detect your breathing.
“Who the hell are you people?”
As he said this, he seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes changed:
“Those who broke into my Flute Clan tonight, could it be your people?”
“Hmm?”
Tang Yuyi froze, tilting her head to look at Jiang Ran:
“How do you say this?
“Could it be that those people weren’t the two of you directing yourselves and preparing yourselves to break into the dungeon?”
“…… How did you guys know that we were going to break into the dungeon?”
Ah Zhuo was even more shocked, this matter he had only talked to Xiao Jiu about.
Immediately, he couldn’t help but look at Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu also shook his head:
“I don’t know ah …… who the hell are you guys?”
“We’re mostly not enemies.”
Jiang Ran reached out and pointed at Wu Di in the middle of the cell and said helplessly:
“We’re here for him.”
“…… Ah Shang?”
Ah Zhuo narrowed his eyes at Jiang Ran:
“You guys, are people from outside the mountain?”
“That’s right.”
“That is to say,…… Ah Shang walks outside the mountains and uses the outside name,…… do you know, what is his outside name?”
Ah Zhuo looked at Jiang Ran seriously.
“…… Wu Di.”
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“Stinking shameless ah ……”
“You actually know it seriously.”
Ah Zhuo frowned and gave Xiao Jiu a look, Xiao Jiu immediately understood.
Then he heard Ah Zhuo say:
“You guys are here to save him?”
“Not necessarily, we have to wait for him to wake up and see what he himself means …… However, I reckon that we should not have particularly abundant time.
“Have free time to chat here, why don’t you open the cell door first, let us see if this kid is dead or alive?”
“…… Good.”
Ah Zhuo nodded and reached out to push open the cell door.
Then he extended his arm as a guide to Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi:
“Please.”
Jiang Ran didn’t hesitate at all, and didn’t even worry about whether Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu would suddenly close the cell door and lock the two of them inside after they went in first.
After all, a cell like this couldn’t trap Jiang Ran at all.
Seeing the two of them being so open, it caused Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu to be a bit stunned.
After pondering, the two of them also came within this cell.
Jiang Ran had already arrived in front of Wu Di by now, and was about to reach out when he heard Ah Zhuo say:
“Be careful, he’s been bewitched.
“Touch it rashly and it will be poisoned.”
“Your honor is an expert in using parasites, since you said so, it must be true.
“Please also ask your honor to make a move and save him.”
Jiang Ran said.
“…… Good.”
Ah Zhuo nodded, then fumbled in his arms for a moment and took out a small bottle, and after opening the lid wide, a black bug drilled out from inside.
The bug was fat and fleshy, drilling very slowly, and after lingering slightly in the mouth of the bottle, it was sent by Ah Zhuo under Wu Di’s nose.
It followed Wu Di’s nose and drilled into his nostrils.
Holding his nostrils up …… well, it was barely squeezed in.
But exactly where it went, it was impossible to say.
After a while, Wu Di suddenly trembled, then inhaled several breaths one after another, and sneezed a big sneeze.
Just as a thud was heard, the blackish flesh worm also gave out a spray.
“Come back.”
As soon as Azhuo reached out, the bug had returned.
Xiao Jiu handed over a handkerchief, obviously prepared for it.
At this time, Wu Di had slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, only to see that afterward, a confused look surfaced in his eyes.
He wanted to open his mouth to speak, yet he couldn’t open it at all.
Only a sound could come out of his nostrils.
“Take it easy for now.”
As Zhuo said this, he looked at Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi and asked Wu Di:
“Do you recognize them?”
Wu Di followed Ah Zhuo’s eyes, and in the next moment, his pupils contracted violently, followed by great joy.
Jiang Ran’s eyes, how could he not recognize them?
Things like night clothes plus masking could be useful for unfamiliar people.
But in the face of acquaintances, the effect of this thing was really minimal.
Jiang Ran said softly:
“Don’t be in a hurry, stabilize first.
“Since I’m already here, I’ll be fine.”
Ah Zhuo subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ran.
Judging from Wu Di’s reaction, he really did know Jiang Ran.
It was just that this man spoke with such a big mouth, this was the Flute Clan, what gave him such confidence that he could solve all the problems.
Then it was realized that Wu Di had indeed calmed down.
Nodding to Ah Zhuo, he expressed his recognition.
Seeing this, Ah Zhuo had no more doubts about Jiang Ran and Tang Yuyi’s identities, and from his bosom, he took out a small box.
Inside the box was some miserable green liquid.
Letting Xiao Jiu hold the box, he took out a piccolo from his bosom.
Bringing it to his lips, the piccolo was soundless, but it vaguely had some sort of rhythm, leading Wu Di’s mouth, which could originally only be merely closed, to reopen a slit.
As this gap widened, a bug full of spikes appeared in everyone’s eyes.
It was lying in Wu Di’s mouth, and the spikes on its body ran through Wu Di’s tongue, holding it in place to death.
Just as Ah Zhuo’s flute progressed, the bug’s rhythm became more and more obvious, and abruptly, it leapt and jumped directly into the box in Xiao Jiu’s hand.
Xiao Jiu obediently closed the lid of the box.
And Wu Di puffed out a mouthful of blood:
“Suffocate …… suffocate me ……”
“Wait to speak first, open your mouth.”
Ah Zhuo opened his mouth.
Wu Di honestly opened his mouth, and saw Ah Zhuo take out a bottle from his pocket and poured the powder into Wu Di’s mouth.
“The tongue sealing parasite itself has a paralyzing effect, so that you can’t feel pain, and its body fluid has the ability to stop bleeding …… But now that it is out of your mouth, the effect of stopping bleeding has disappeared.
“This is a medicinal powder to stop bleeding and regenerate muscles, it can help you stop bleeding.”
Ah Zhuo said, capped this bottle and stuffed it into his bosom.
Following that, he looked at Wu Di:
“What exactly happened?”
Wu Di didn’t say anything, but instead looked at Jiang Ran:
“How did you all get here?”
“The thing I’m looking for is in the Flute Clan’s forbidden place, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
“It took a little bit of tossing and turning to arrive here.
“As a result, just after I came, I heard that you were captured …… Brother Wu, I would like to know how exactly you were captured here by the people of the Flute Clan in the midst of ten thousand armies?”
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, his words slightly teasing.
Ah Zhuo and Xiaojiu, on the other hand, were like enemies when they heard the words.
“You want to enter the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?”
This Ten Thousand Poison Cave was actually the forbidden land of the Flute Clan, and it would be a great shame for outsiders to get their hands on it.
It was probably like the Flute Clan’s ancestor shrine, with an outsider planning to go in and steal something.
“I see.”
Wu Di said softly:
“I will help you …… If I had known that the thing you were looking for was in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, I would have followed you.
“They won’t be able to catch me if you’re around.
“After all, I was careless, I didn’t expect that they would actually lay this poisonous hand.”
Ah Zhuo’s face was as black as iron, feeling that this brotherly friend of his had changed after all.
Hearing that someone wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to mess things up, his reaction was actually to help, not to stop …… for a moment uncertain about what he was doing now, whether it was right or wrong.
And at that moment, Wu Di finally looked at him:
“Brother Ah Zhuo …… Ah Zhuo was not killed by Ana.”
With these words, Ah Zhuo couldn’t care about the matter of whether Wu Di had changed or not.
He couldn’t help but ask:
“Was it Ana who said that?”
“This matter, it’s a long story ……”
Wu Di gritted his teeth, his tongue was still a bit weak and he spoke with a bit of a lisp:
“You want to know the specifics, just ask him …… He knows everything.
“Never let the patriarch catch Ana.
“The native compulsion in my body has already been taken by the patriarch, if we let him capture Ana again and get the Compulsion King.
“Then we will no longer be able to stop his ambition that he has accomplished only by his machinations and killing Ah Zhu Fang.”
“Are you saying …… that the patriarch killed Ah Zhu?”
Xiao Jiu’s face went white for a moment:
“This is impossible …… who said that?”
“Ana told me herself.”
Wu Di looked at Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu:
“You guys know Ana’s character …… it’s something he did, he won’t deny it.”
Jiang Ran shook his head gently at this, feeling that Wu Di’s words seemed a bit naive.
For this kind of thing, how could one gain credibility just by relying on this side of the story?
In fact, up until now, for what this patriarch had done, there was simply no physical evidence in their hands that they could point to.
The strength was still slightly insufficient.
However, as far as Ah Zhuo took a deep breath, Xiao Jiu was filled with sadness.
“Surprisingly, it’s the patriarch’s grandfather?”
“He …… he is so ruthless!!!”
Jiang Ran surprised, this is a letter ah?
He carefully went to look at the expressions of Ah Zhuo and Xiao Jiu, although not very willing to admit it.
But had to admit …… that they did believe it.
Jiang Ran suddenly understood why the matriarch had to give Wu Di under the tongue sealing compulsion …… No longer words, but wherever he speaks, these two people will most likely believe it, right?
Or rather, what they believe is not Wu Di, but …… Tian Yufang?
