The commotion came from the stairs at the side. Boli and the others were not blockheads, so they naturally took a look. When they saw the two pig-headed children, they felt that they were familiar, but they didn't think of the two hateful children during the day. However, Gu An had stayed in the city for so many years, and his mind was more flexible. From the situation at the scene, he vaguely guessed something, and his heart was beating wildly.
He recognized the person who was holding the two children and seemed to be the leader. It was Shang Huan, one of the four commanders of the city guards.
The result was as bad as the people who knew what was going on expected. The two children almost simultaneously pointed at Yue Qianchou who was holding a steak and screamed, "It's him … uncle, it's him who hit us …"
Shang Huan's sharp gaze suddenly stared at Yue Qianchou. He had already noticed some clues from the skin color of these people, so he sneered and said, "What a group of sinister and cunning natives. They actually know how to disguise themselves. It's obvious that they're people with ulterior motives. Capture all of them!"
As soon as he gave the order, the six soldiers behind him immediately jumped down from the stairs and unsheathed their swords, surrounding the seven natives in disguise. Such a situation immediately caused a commotion in the lobby of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. Boli and the others were simple but not stupid. At this moment, they naturally realized that the two children were the two bad children during the day. Everyone at the table stood up. Except for Yue Qianchou and Immortal Crocodile, everyone else had a terrified expression …
Shang Huan slowly walked down from the stairs. The two children waved their fists beside him and shouted, "Beat them to death, beat them to death …"
The commotion in the lobby alerted the shopkeeper. A chubby middle-aged man quickly walked out from the back and asked in a deep voice from afar, "What's going on?" After seeing Shang Huan, he was slightly startled and frowned, "So it's Commander Shang. Could it be that our Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant didn't treat us well and provoked Commander Shang to make a move here?" From the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he was someone with a background.
Shang Huan glanced at him and slowly walked to Yue Qianchou, pulling off Yue Qianchou's hat. The braids on his head immediately exposed Yue Qianchou's identity as a native. Shang Huan casually threw away his hat and fiercely elbowed Yue Qianchou's chest.
Although a mere mortal commander had some skills, it was not enough to injure Yue Qianchou. However, it was enough to make Yue Qianchou furious, but he forced himself to hold it in. He even pretended to groan and stagger, holding the table behind him.
At this time, Shang Huan turned to the fat shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper is worrying too much. It's not that I want to cause trouble, but I just happened to find a group of natives who committed a crime in the city during the day, and I'm about to arrest them." As he spoke, he gave his subordinates a look, and the six subordinates quickly pulled off the hats of Boli and the others. The seven native braids were exposed, and the lobby was filled with an uproar.
The fat shopkeeper was slightly startled. Obviously, he didn't expect that there would be natives disguising themselves and eating in Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. He paused and said, "Commander Shang, I don't care who they are, but the rule of my Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant is that anyone who comes here is a guest. You hit my guests in my Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, how can I put my face?"
"Great Commander, I will go and apologize. I won't damage your Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant's face." Shang Huan said indifferently, then turned to Yue Qianchou and the others and said, "For the sake of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, I don't want to use force on you here, but you'd better obediently go back with me. That way, you'll suffer less. If you dare to resist arrest, you'll have to bear the consequences." Then, with a wave of his hand, the six armed soldiers immediately threatened them with their sabers. Yue Qianchou and the other bandits were also quite cooperative, and they were obediently escorted out.
As soon as they left Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, under the bright night sky, there was a commotion in the crowd, and it immediately attracted passers-by to ask what happened.
No matter what the seven people had done, the locals in the city all looked at them with disdain, as if they couldn't wait to capture all the natives in the city. Meanwhile, the warriors of the various races had bitter expressions, and they more or less felt sorry for them.
Boli and the others were terrified, not knowing what the consequences of this matter would be. Immortal Crocodile's face, on the other hand, was gloomy. If it weren't for Yue Qianchou, with his noble status, he wouldn't have to be paraded in public. Looking at Yue Qianchou, whose head was lowered with his braids covering his face, he found that he had the potential to become a criminal. He couldn't help but sneer at him through telepathy, "Weren't you eating happily just now? Why are you so listless now? "
"Cut the crap! You ate for free, so why are you still nagging? "Yue Qianchou immediately retorted. Immortal Crocodile was speechless, regretting that he shouldn't have picked up his chopsticks.
Loess City's public security had always been good, and it was rare to see such a scene. It was a night that had lost its passion day after day, but suddenly because of the arrest of the seven people, a large number of people pointed at them, as if they were watching a show.
When they passed by a clothing store, the store's owner, Huang Tian, was also attracted by the commotion outside. He got up from the chair at the door, lifted his feet, and stood on the chair, watching from above the passers-by. When he saw that the seven people who were arrested were Yue Qianchou and the others, who he had given the clothes to, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. What a coincidence …
The seven people were finally brought to the darkest corner in the west of the city, and there were no longer any spectators around. At the end of the road was a tall wall, and facing the intersection was an iron fence. The surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. When the soldiers guarding the iron gate saw Shang Huan, they immediately saluted and opened the iron gate in the middle. Based on his experience, Yue Qianchou judged that this should be Loess City's prison.
Just as the crowd was about to enter the high wall, a soldier galloped over on horseback from behind, stopped in front of Shang Huan, and cupped his fists. "Commander Shang, the city lord has summoned you. He orders you to see him immediately."
Shang Huan was slightly surprised, and after a pause, he nodded solemnly. Then, he waved his hand at the soldiers and said, "Take them to the prison, and wait for me to come and interrogate them personally tomorrow." The group obeyed, and the soldiers jumped down to invite him onto the horse. Shang Huan jumped onto the horse, turned around, and galloped away.
Immortal Lord Crocodile looked at Yue Qianchou meaningfully, because just when Shang Huan turned around, he saw with his own eyes Yue Qianchou cut his fingertip and flicked a small drop of blood onto Shang Huan's back. He didn't know what trick this guy was playing.
As soon as the seven people entered the wall, they were immediately taken to the dungeon. After passing through a dark and damp tunnel, they were all chased into a dark underground stone room. The iron gate behind them clanked, and even the dim light in the tunnel disappeared. Now, they really couldn't see their own fingers in front of them.
The underground stone room had a moldy smell, and they didn't know how long it had been since someone had been locked up. Boli and the others couldn't see their surroundings clearly, and squeezed together in fear. They wanted to cry, but no tears came out. They had never experienced what it was like to be in prison.
"Are you satisfied now?" Immortal Lord Crocodile's voice echoed in the stone room.
"Of course. Gu An's place is too small, and I was worried about not having a place to stay at night. Sigh! I can eat and sleep for free, and live a good life. "Yue Qianchou chuckled. Although the stone room was dark, with their cultivation, they had no problem seeing each other clearly within a short distance.
His teasing laughter made Boli and the others, who had been trembling with fear, relax a little. Boli blankly looked around in the darkness and asked, "Yue Qianchou, you hit … Can we still go out? Won't it implicate our people? "
"Don't worry! It's okay, we'll be fine, and they'll let us go. "Yue Qianchou comforted him. These words made Boli and the others feel more at ease, but Gu An's face was bitter. He knew that it wouldn't be that simple.
The stone room was empty, and the ground was damp. There wasn't even a place to sit. The others didn't see it, but Immortal Lord Crocodile did. Yue Qianchou took out a large pile of dried straw and laid it on the ground. He then lay down and said to Boli and the others, who didn't dare to move, with a smile, "Boli, don't be nervous. Just walk forward, there's a place for you to sit."
Boli and the others had also heard the sound of him tossing the straw. They walked forward slowly, and when their feet touched the straw, they slowly squatted down and tried to feel it with their hands before sitting down. Once they sat down firmly, they felt more at ease.
Immortal Lord Crocodile was stunned and speechless for a while. He then walked to Yue Qianchou and sat down beside him. He transmitted his voice suspiciously. "You brat, you still have straw with you?" He couldn't believe that someone would actually have straw in their storage bag. It was simply unimaginable.
"You don't understand! This is called being prepared. "Yue Qianchou rested his head on his arms and crossed his legs, looking relaxed. In fact, these straws were casually gathered from the farmland in Utopia.
"What are you trying to do, brat?" Immortal Lord Crocodile asked. He didn't think that this fellow was someone who would obediently surrender. Sure enough, Yue Qianchou sneered and replied, "You dare to hit me? Wait and see …"
This was destined to be a sleepless night for the few of them. Although no one spoke, no one could fall asleep. It was late at night, and it was quiet outside. Only the sound of a few people tossing and turning on the straw could be heard. Yue Qianchou quietly got up and placed a few silver balls on the ground. Then, he waved goodbye to Immortal Lord Crocodile, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and instantly disappeared.
When he reappeared, Yue Qianchou was dressed in black and his face was covered. He didn't know where he was. Under the hazy moonlight, he only knew that he was in a garden, surrounded by pavilions that were low-key and luxurious. It was obviously not the residence of an ordinary person. He guessed that this should be Commander Shang's home. The reason why he stayed up until midnight was to wait for the commander to return home to teach him a lesson. He didn't hit him for nothing.
Yue Qianchou hid in a patch of flowers and secretly poked his head out to look around. He happened to see a person walking out of a pavilion not far away. It was none other than Commander Shang. Yue Qianchou raised his eyebrows. Without saying a word, a flying sword shot out with a whoosh. Shang Huan saw a cold light, and before he could react, his head was separated from his body. The remaining body and the flying head fell to the ground at the same time.
"Who is it!?" A loud shout came from the pavilion. Yue Qianchou's vision blurred, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Yue Qianchou, who was about to slip away, was slightly shocked when he saw who it was. This person was none other than the clothing store owner, Huang Tian, who had given him clothes for free on the streets previously …
