Chapter 263 Clearing Up Misunderstandings
Chapter 263 Clearing Up Misunderstandings
"Come on, you are just being stubborn!"
"Hey, that's not right!" Chen Qingzhou heard that he was full of energy and asked in surprise, "You were beaten severely in the Honglu Hall before, and you were tortured by them in the inner prison. How come you seem to be fine?"
Li Hao did not answer immediately, obviously still on guard against Chen Qingzhou, and only asked: "Why are you in the death row?"
"Save you!" Chen Qingzhou rolled his eyes. "Isn't it obvious enough?"
Li Hao looked at him and asked, "Are you alone?"
Chen Qingzhou shook his head and said, "There is also the Fire Phoenix, but an accident happened in the water prison before, and she left first in order to lure away the guards."
Li Hao looked nervous, "How is she? Is she not exposed?"
Chen Qingzhou waved his hand, "It should be fine, don't worry, I turned her into a monster, so her identity was not exposed."
Li Hao finally felt relieved and glanced at Chen Qingzhou again, "Thank you."
Chen Qingzhou recalled the fight between the two when they first met. He never expected that he would hear him thank him in person deep underground.
Chen Qingzhou shook his head. "No need for that. The general trend is irrelevant. Personal interests should be put aside. We are allies now."
Li Hao nodded, naturally understanding the deep meaning, and the two of them had put aside their past grudges. "What's the situation outside?"
Chen Qingzhou said: "Since you were imprisoned, some troops in the army, led by Fire Phoenix, have been in disarray, not knowing whether to wait or rebel. Finally, everyone discussed and decided that the two of us would sneak into the death row to gather information. As for whether we can save you, we will act accordingly."
Then, Chen Qingzhou briefly told him what had happened in the death row before.
Li Hao nodded. "I didn't expect that I could escape so quickly, but with Qiao Wenruo's personality, he will never let me go easily. The four monsters will definitely dig a hundred feet underground to find me."
Chen Qingzhou said: "Those four monsters have some powerful means, but my 'Water Repellent Technique' can isolate their aura, so they should not be able to find us now."
Li Hao looked at the translucent barrier formed by the "Water Repelling Technique" around his body, "This magical power is indeed powerful. We, the people of the Jiuli tribe, are too arrogant. We thought we could defeat you just by restraining your skills. Unexpectedly, there are people out there who are better than you."
Chen Qingzhou was silent for a moment. "We can't stay here for long. Those monsters will find this place sooner or later through the tunnel. Where can we go next?"
Li Hao said: "Don't worry, the death row up there was built under my supervision."
Chen Qingzhou was overjoyed, "No wonder you reminded me to push down just now, it turns out you already knew there was a secret passage below."
Li Hao nodded and said, "Yes, places like death row always have secret passages in case of emergency."
Chen Qingzhou knew that death row was usually heavily guarded, and sometimes the safety of the prisoners did not need to be too much of a concern, but the safety of the guards was more difficult to guarantee. Especially underground, if there was an attack by a monster or an earthquake, there had to be a way to escape.
Chen Qingzhou asked: "What about this water? Did you prepare it back then? Where does it lead to?"
Li Hao led Chen Qingzhou to swim slowly, "That's not the case. When we were digging the tunnel from the inner prison downwards, we planned to turn around when we reached a deep enough depth or reached a place where we couldn't dig any further, and then eventually return to the surface. But we didn't expect that after digging more than 200 meters, we would suddenly enter this area of water. As long as we keep swimming towards the east, we can see the light."
Chen Qingzhou thought for a moment, "So, there is a big valley in the east?"
Li Hao nodded and said, "Yes, there is a very deep canyon over there, which seems to have been caused by an earthquake. The tribesmen and the monsters will not go there, so it is very safe."
Chen Qingzhou said: "Okay, let's go out quickly, my brothers and sisters must be waiting anxiously."
Li Hao suddenly asked: "Um...Where is the Third Miss?"
Chen Qingzhou was surprised, "You mean shallow fishing?"
"Well," Li Hao asked: "What is the reaction of the Third Miss?"
Chen Qingzhou didn't know why he asked this question, but he had a strange feeling, "Like everyone else, I'm very anxious."
"Oh..." Li Hao nodded silently, and after a while he said, "Then let's hurry up and don't let everyone worry."
Chen Qingzhou looked him up and down and thought to himself, "You better not think about it that way!"
Then he asked again: "Hey, you haven't told me yet, what happened to the injuries on your body?"
Li Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "I told you, actually, I was not injured in the Honglu Hall."
"What!?"
Chen Qingzhou almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes or ears, and asked quickly: "I saw with my own eyes that you were beaten so hard that you couldn't move!"
Li Hao shook his head. "I can't move, but I'm seriously injured."
"Speak human language to me."
"Ahem..." Li Hao coughed twice. "In fact, it was at that time that I realized that my adoptive father had his own difficulties."
The more Chen Qingzhou listened, the more confused he became. "What's going on?"
Li Hao recalled: "In the Honglu Hall, my adoptive father attacked me twice with strong winds. The first time, the force was indeed strong, but the power of the 'Golden Stone Wall Protection' in my body was able to barely resist, so I only had bleeding from my mouth and nose, and no internal injuries. The second time, it seemed to be full of momentum, but there was no internal force in it. I realized that something was wrong at the time. It must be Qiao Wenruo who was there. My adoptive father must have some unspeakable secrets, so he wanted to join forces with me to act out a drama."
"Is this true?" Chen Qingzhou looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Are you overthinking it?"
Li Hao was very sure, "I know my godfather. If he really wanted to teach me a lesson, he wouldn't do it this way. I guess he was controlled, or Qiao Wenruo had some leverage over him, so he couldn't tell me directly."
Chen Qingzhou frowned and said, "So, the Jiuli tribe is now under the control of Qiao Wenruo? But if your adoptive father really showed mercy, why did he throw you into death row at this critical moment? Isn't this cutting off your own arm and letting Qiao Wenruo manipulate you?"
Li Hao shook his head. "I don't know. My foster father must have his reasons for doing this. I must meet him alone once, otherwise both Disha and Jiuli will be in danger of destruction!"
Chen Qingzhou said, "Okay, let's talk about it after we get out. I don't know what's going on outside. By the way, who is that mountain tyrant? He must be quite powerful!"
At this time, there seemed to be a rumbling sound above, and it seemed that a continuous strong earthquake had really been triggered.
As they walked and talked, Li Hao explained, "Shan Ba is one of the four generals of 'Feng Lin Huo Shan'. Although he is the youngest, he has the greatest potential. However, he is mentally handicapped and goes crazy when stimulated. He is unable to control that power. He has been in charge of the death row since last year and only obeys his adoptive father. Neither I nor Qiao Wenruo can command him. So my adoptive father put me here instead of handing me over to Qiao Wenruo. It should be to save my life."
Chen Qingzhou shook his head slightly. He always felt that Li Hao was a fool who was loyal and filial. He might be sold out by Li Shixiao one day and still help count the money! But he didn't say much at this time. "'Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain' is the military strategy of Zhongzhou. It seems that there are many masters in your tribe!"
