Chapter 525: Caught Back

It turned back and uttered a sharp syllable, like a whistle, and a porpoise behind it instantly sank into the water, probably to send a notice to the aquatic creatures in Liuhe.

The rest stayed, because He Lingchuan requisitioned six fishing boats in Xiahewan, and in order to travel light and fast, each boat had two passengers.

The fishermen untied the ropes and threw them into the water, and the lively porpoises bit them and dragged the fishing boats to the center of the river.

Two porpoises dragged a boat, relaxed and comfortable. Once started, the speed was getting faster and faster.

It was only a breeze on the river surface, but the boats were dragged by them to feel like riding the wind and waves.

The fishermen were a little embarrassed standing at the bow, and it didn't matter whether the oars were extended into the water or not.

All six boats went downstream, at a speed of at least 50 miles.

The water flow of Liuhe River was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and there were many reefs and small islands in the center of the river. If people rowed boats, they had to be careful to avoid them, which was far less swift than porpoises.

Moreover, He Lingchuan knew that under the seemingly calm water, the Liuhe aquatic tribes in this area had been mobilized to faithfully carry out the order of the prince of the demon country to find people.

Finding a boat on the huge Liuhe River is like finding a needle in a haystack, and this is only for humans.

No matter how meticulous Wu Kai's escape was, he was only a human being after all, with limited means and limited abilities.

He Lingchuan sighed in his heart. This tracking method is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

…

Three days later, far away in Lingxu City.

Some people gathered under the Zhaixing Tower, waiting from sunset to moonrise, but they didn't get the chance to enter.

More and more people were waiting, chatting with each other, and even talked about the sudden fire in the Qingfu Temple in Lingxu City, which was full of incense.

When asked, they all came for the same thing.

After another half an hour, there were fewer people again.

If you can't get in, you can't get in. The superiors are just leaving them alone, and there is no point in waiting any longer.

In the end, only three people were left, staying where they were and refusing to leave.

This time, it was not until the moon was at its zenith that the lamp-keeper in the Zhaixing Tower came out under the swaying shadows of the trees and saluted them:

"Several elders, are you here for the case of the inspector?"

"Yes. This is a serious matter. We want to see the emperor!"

"The emperor is communicating with the gods and will not return to the palace tonight."

That means he will not leave this Zhaixing Tower, and you can't wait for him.

"But this case, this case... must be discussed and considered, and someone must be sent as soon as possible."

The lamp-keeper said respectfully: "The emperor said that the special envoy sent to Chiyan will investigate this matter together. He should have arrived in Baisha, so please don't worry about it, elders."

"The special envoy sent to Chiyan?" The three were surprised. They had never heard of it before. "Who is it?"

Don't worry means that you are not allowed to interfere. They all understood.

"It's Mr. Bai from our Zhaixing Tower."

The three looked at each other and really shut up, but their expressions were complicated.

The next day

As the east dawned, the residents of Baishacuo were once again awakened by the rumbling of horse hooves.

Some people who woke up early witnessed the prince's envoy's triumphant return to the city, and also brought back a carriage and a prisoner tied up.

This news, of course, will spread faster with the help of those who are interested.

Wu Kai, the key witness in this series of cases in Baishacuo, failed to escape and was caught by the prince's envoy!

The whole city will know in three or five hours at most.

When He Lingchuan returned to the inn, Fu Shan came up to him enthusiastically and clapped his hands vigorously:

"You are really good!"

He was also worried these days, and when He Lingchuan escorted Wu Kai back to the city, he really breathed a sigh of relief.

It's stable!

He Lingchuan patted his arm and smiled, "Has Cen Boqing been behaving himself these days?"

Fu Shanyue spat on the ground, "Behaving himself... shit!"

It turned out that during the days when He Lingchuan left the city, Cen Boqing had not stopped either. He escaped several times and even tried to disguise himself to sneak out of the mansion, but was blocked by Fu Shanyue.

When the two fought, no one dared to get close. In the end, Cen Boqing was defeated and half of his arm was broken. He returned to the mansion in a bad mood.

Fu Shanyue was also furious. Seeing that this man would not accept toasts, he simply ordered Lu Dutong to lead people to build walls to seal the front and back doors of Cen's mansion. If there was a shortage of food and drink in the mansion, the soldiers would buy them and throw them over the wall, and the people inside would not be able to get out at all.

If you dare to jump out, you will be beaten.

Anyway, the civilians in Baisha were enjoying watching the excitement these days.

Fu Shanyue even booked the mansion next to Cen's mansion and sat on the attic to keep an eye on it personally.

He is a Ba, and he is very energetic even if he does not sleep for several days and nights.

In this fatal game, Cen Boqing failed several times in his attempts, and Fu Shanyue saw him smashing things in the mansion several times. Baishaju is a hurdle in his life. As long as he gets out, he can escape back to Lingxu City, where his chances of winning will increase greatly.

It's a pity that he can't get out!

Fu Shanyue was a little proud when he said this, after all, Cen Boqing was beaten black and blue by him when he sneaked out of the mansion, which was a revenge for the past in Lingxu City.

He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go and interrogate Wu Kai."

Wu Kai was not put in the county jail, but was held in solitary confinement in the wine cellar of the inn.

Now he and Fu Songhua enjoy the same treatment, and are also wearing a pair of shackles with runes drawn on them. This thing can imprison spiritual power, and prisoners cannot use magical powers.

As soon as the prince arrived, everyone's work efficiency instantly increased. The wine cellar had been emptied, with only two chairs inside, and Wu Kai sat on the ground with shackles.

At the four corners of the cellar, there is a formation that prohibits escape techniques, so that the prisoners can't be robbed by others.

Needless to say, there are guards inside and outside the cellar.

Fu Shanyue and He Lingchuan walked into the cellar and saw Wu Kai sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

When someone comes, he doesn't open his eyes.

The guard in charge of guarding said that Wu Kai had been like this since he arrived, not talking or moving or opening his eyes.

"Wu Kai." Fu Shanyue pulled He Lingchuan to sit down, "What would you like to eat or drink?"

Wu Kai is like an old monk entering concentration.

The pursuit on the Liuhe River turned out to be more twists and turns than He Lingchuan expected - Wu Kai changed boats midway.

Everyone spent a lot of effort and almost lost the pursuit.

Fortunately, Shui Ling showed strong control over the water tribe in this area, and within a long time, he found the whereabouts of Wu Kai's new ship.

After changing boats, the four people continued to go down the river for nearly a hundred miles and landed at a small pier. The groom, Wu Kai's daughter-in-law, and grandson pretended to be a family of three, while Wu Kai went north alone.

The reason why it took three or four days was that He Lingchuan hoped to use Wu Kai as bait to catch other big fish. What's more, when Wu Kai landed here, He Lingchuan saw that he wanted to take his family to escape from the Chiyan Kingdom.

As long as they enter the Lingxu Realm, it will not be that easy for the pursuers to catch them.

Everyone is also monitoring Wu Kai very closely. If Cen Boqing remotely attacks the identity card in advance, they will rush out to rescue him.

Fortunately, Wu Kai did not collapse suddenly.

During the two days of being monitored, Wu Kai never contacted anyone.

Either he couldn't find anyone to help, or he didn't dare to ask for help.

He Lingchuan then captured them all at the border checkpoint.

However, Wu Kai's caution also left a deep impression on He Lingchuan.

As a reward, starting from the second half of the year, the finless porpoise's energy as a Liuhe water spirit will be greatly increased.

But the old man was passive and resistant from the day he was arrested. His grandson screamed and his daughter-in-law cried, but he remained unmoved.

It seems that he has thought clearly.

"Aren't you just waiting for a price? Okay, okay, don't show off to me." Fu Shanyue sneered at Wu Kai's style, "Otherwise I will bring your grandson down and suck him off in front of you. "

With strong tactics and noble status, such an opponent is the most troublesome.

Wu Kai then opened his eyes and said solemnly: "If you dare to hurt him, I will never speak until I die."

"If you tell the truth, your grandson might still have a way to survive."

Wu Kai closed his mouth again and remained silent.

No matter what Fu Shanyue said later, he just wouldn't continue.

Walking back to the ground, Fu Shanyue felt dissatisfied and waved his hand to the guard: "I'm going to punish you, pry open his mouth!"

This method is still simple and crude.

He Lingchuan said: "I'm afraid it's of little use."

Sure enough, after a long time, the guards came to report that Wu Kai fainted and died twice after being tortured, but he gritted his teeth and refused to confess.

"He also knows that he is the most critical witness. If he doesn't confess, he and Cen Boqing may not be guilty." He Lingchuan said lightly, "If he confesses, he will not escape death. If it were you, would you confess?"

"You can't make this analogy!" Fu Shanyue said with a righteous look on his face, "Do you think I look like someone who knows the law and breaks it?"

He Lingchuan pretended not to hear these words: "In a few days, Lingxu City may send a special envoy down, and things may turn around. So whether it is him or Cen Boqing, what they want to use the most now is the 'drag' tactic ”

Fushan Yue pondered, "They are already suspicious of each other, let's just put more effort into it."

It would only be bad for them if these two things worked together.

"Isn't this already started?" He Lingchuan entered the city this morning with this intention in mind.

Now, the news of Wu Kai's arrest has probably reached Cen Boqing, right?

He Lingchuan thought for a while before entering the cellar again.

Wu Kai was still sitting there with his eyes half closed, but his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there were blood stains on his clothes.

I don’t know how Fu Shanyue’s guards entertained him.

He Lingchuan dragged a chair and sat down next to him. The sound of the chair legs scraping the floor was harsh and harsh.

When the first sound sounded, he noticed that Wu Kai's eyelids moved.

Why are you pretending to be calm, but you are not listening to everything? He sneered in his heart and then said to Wu Kai: "You still think that you and Cen Boqing are on the same line. In fact, it is safest for him to kill you to silence him. After all, the secrets of the syrup beads and the elixir are in your hands. He There are so many dirty things that were done by you. As long as you, the key person, are dead, he can get away with it. "

Wu Kai remained motionless and his breath was calm.

"Of course, you've probably already thought about this. I see that a few of your amulets are broken. Is it because you were on the run for the past two days?"

Wu Kai looked at him steadily.

He Lingchuan observed his expression and said a long "oh":

"As expected, Cen Boqing has been secretly cursing you these past few days!"
