Lu Xun waved a fist, rushed forward, grabbed Zhou Yuanmo's clothes and was about to punch him.

Ning Nanyou shouted in time and said, "Lu Chengzhong! Stop!"

He was stern and stern, and his eyebrows were sinking.

Dust was flying in the prison, Lu Xun stopped, his fists were stationary in the air, his eyes staring at the muddy and ragged young man in the corner, and his anger was about to burst out. After a while, he was helpless and unwilling to let go of Zhou Yuanmo, took two steps back, and stood back next to Ning Nanyou.

The young man curled up in the corner sneered. In the darkness, his eyes were extremely cold like a poisonous snake. He slowly aimed at Ning Nanyou, who was covered in the blue candlelight in front of the prison door, and joked: "Ning Zhaoyuan... Are you... today... you specially brought your lackey to see the miserable situation of my defeat?"

Ning Nanyou held his breath and concentrated, gently rolled up his fingers on his knees, staring at him silently. In the swaying candlelight, he cast a gaze of contempt and sympathy into the dark corner.

Zhou Yuanmo was sensitive and thoughtful, and moved, unable to bear the person on the other side staring at him like this, gradually losing patience, and his expression became dark and gloomy: "What are you staring at me like this? Seeing that I am so embarrassed, you feel very comfortable, right?"

He growled, his eyes turned red, and the iron chains tied to his body were "banging" because of his struggle.

At this moment, the husband who had been silent finally spoke: "I will only ask you one question. Deng Qing, where was your people hiding?"

Zhou Yuanmo was stunned and hesitant for a moment. He was tightly bound by the iron chain in the corner of the wall and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was full of sarcasm, feeling ridiculous and speechless: "You ask me where Deng Qing went? Ning Zhaoyuan, do you think I, Uncle Murong Zong, still obey you? Do you... still naively think that as long as you ask, I will tell you?"

He laughed on his back, crazy and crazy, as if he was about to laugh out loud, leaning against the mud wall, gasping violently.

Ning Nanyou stretched out his hand, turned the wooden wheel, and quietly leaned towards the young man. Ji Xianzhi and Lu Xun watched him slowly move to the corner, and became nervous at the same time. Zhou Yuanmo's laughter stopped with the slight and slight rotation of the wooden wheel. At the moment when he opened his eyes, he was frightened by Ning Nanyou's suddenly enlarged face.

The young man's hands subconsciously curled up into fists, curled his smile, tensed his nerves, and looked at the husband in front of him.

Ning Nanyou looked calm and his eyes were as deep as a cold pool. He bent down gently and reached out to sort out his messy hair crown for Zhou Yuanmo, with a very calm tone: "Uncle Rong... Why bother? You and I are all people struggling to survive in the mud and blood... Why should we be so difficult for each other?"

His expression was flat, his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were unconscious: "I know, you won't attack Deng Qing... You still have to keep him and take the next move. Since that's the case, why not give him to me. Now the matter in the North is settled. I promise you that as long as Deng Qing returns to the North, the next thing will be as you wish."

Zhou Yuanmo gritted his teeth, looked at him coldly, and silently answered.

Ning Nanyou slowly withdrew his hand from his crown, changed his tone and asked: "Or... Deng Qing is not in your hands at all? You know nothing about Archie's plan?"

The young man close to the wall trembled slightly. The husband opposite him accurately captured his emotions, turned his eyes down, and pursed his lips thoughtfully, as if he had made a conclusion.

Faced with his temptation, Zhou Yuanmo put away his emotions and replied expressionlessly: "Ning Zhaoyuan, instead of spending time on me, you might as well send more people to find Deng Qing."

He seemed to have a real idea and looked proud.

Ning Nanyou raised his eyebrows one by one, and the corners of the peaks entered his temples, covering up a trace of hostility.

The ill-blooded man was too lazy to look at Zhou Yuanmo again, stroked the wooden wheel below, moved to the prison door, and instructed Lu Xun: "Okay, let's stop here today, let's go."

Ji Xianzhi and Lu Xun were stunned at the same time, looking at each other, wondering what the husband was paying attention to.

While they were thinking, Ning Nanyou had already rolled on the wooden wheel and moved out of the prison door.

The two of them did not dare to delay and hurriedly chased after them, but did not dare to ask in detail.

Seeing Ning Nanyou leave suddenly, Zhou Yuanmo in the prison cell was also panicked. He couldn't figure out the purpose of this person coming today, and he felt increasingly unsure. As Ning Nanyou said, Zhou Yuanmo knew nothing about Archie's plan, and he didn't know that Deng Qing was kidnapped.

Outside the prison, Lu Xun climbed the bluestone steps with Ning Nanyou on his back and returned to the flat ground in the courtyard.

The husband sat back into the wooden wheel, rubbed his hands and breathed, and told them to go back to the house.

Lu Xun kept holding his questions along the way, and Ji Xianzhi was also full of doubts. After the two of them sent Ning Nanyou to the Shuiting courtyard, Lu Xun finally couldn't help asking: "Lord... aren't you going to interrogate Zhou Yuanmo carefully? Why did you leave in a hurry after just a few questions? Today, I... I've squandered my strength to help the guards and guards in the prison of the prefect's mansion. You asked casually...Are you deliberately teasing my subordinates?"

Ning Nanyou looked calm and said strangely: "In your eyes, am I so idle?"

Lu Xun scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Oh, otherwise... why did you just ask Zhou Yuanmo one question and... leave?"

The husband stroked his forehead, and he was speechless.

Seeing this, Ji Xianzhi sighed helplessly: "Even if the lord asked Zhou Yuanmo a hundred questions, he probably wouldn't answer one. Since that's the case... why ask so many questions?"

Lu Xun didn't understand and said carelessly: "If he refuses to answer, he has all kinds of tortures in prison, so he can torture severely... Why should the lord take into account his past friendship and show mercy to his subordinates?"

Ning Nanyou took a deep breath: "......"

Ji Xianzhi was on the side and continued to explain helplessly: "Lu Chengzhong, this is the prefect of the northern border town... How do you ask the lord torture Zhou Yuanmo alone? In the eyes of others, he is still the Central Plains alchemist Zhou Qi who betrayed Deng Qing. Even if he wants to be tried, he will be the governor Xiao.

The lord is only temporarily serving as the lieutenant of Yongzhou Prefecture. It is not just right. How can I strictly communicate? If the governor Xiao wakes up and examines Zhou Yuanmo alone, he finds that he is covered in scars. After careful inquiries, he will definitely know that the lord meets him alone. How do you ask the lord to explain the relationship between him and Zhou Yuanmo?”

Lu Xun was speechless for a moment and secretly annoyed his stupidity.

Ji Xianzhi ignored him, changed his tone and said with a serious expression: "Master is like this, maybe it is to test Zhou Yuanmo... But I don't understand, what should I test him?"

Ning Nanyou: "Deng Qing was captured, Qian Hui and Zhao Fu disappeared in Xiaoquan Lane, East Street. It has been more than half a month now. Although Liao Yuncheng found their journey in other county towns, he still found nothing. Don't you think this matter is very strange?"

Ji Xianzhi frowned and said, "Isn't this matter...Isn't it intentional to lure Qian Hui and Zhao Fu away the firepower?"

Ning Nanyou said in a deep voice: "I thought so too. But the border city was tightly defended. Even if the Archie Scrolls attacked later, the group of people with such obvious targets would not have disappeared directly in Koizumi Lane. I couldn't think about it at that time, but now I think this matter is quite strange.

If this group of people were really Archie's men and grassland people... How could the Jingshu Guard not noticed it at all when he escaped? You should know that the appearance of the grassland people is very different from that of the Central Plains people. Moreover, if they really just wanted to attract Qian Hui and Zhao Fu to disperse the main force of the border city, they only needed to trap these two people for a day or two, and when the Xiongnu Xianbei attacked the city, there was no need to continue to entangle.

Why, to lead Qian Hui and Zhao Fu out of the border town? This requires a huge risk... Once the stuff is revealed, Archie will lose a group of capable confidants. He... will never make such a plan. Therefore, I wonder if this matter was planned by Zhou Yuanmo in advance?"

He paused and rolled the wooden wheel silently to move to the Shuiting courtyard: "It's just now that when I mentioned Deng Qing in front of Zhou Yuanmo... he hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be unclear about this matter. That's why I continued to ask him if he didn't know anything about Archie's Bumou and came to test him.

Judging from his reaction, he really doesn't seem to know these things. If I hadn't asked him where Deng Qing was today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about Deng Qing's disappearance. This is enough to prove that he has nothing to do with Qian Hui and Zhao Fu's disappearance."

When Lu Xun heard his analysis, he felt frightened: "If... Deng Qing was captured and Qian Hui and Zhao Fu disappeared, it was neither Archie nor Zhou Yuanmo... Who would have done that? The large number of black-clad men and horses that emerged in the border town... Who sent them?"

He thought: Is there any other forces in this side city?

Ning Nanyou stared: "I don't know who was sent by that group of people for now... who was sent by them? But... At present, I can conclude these things. Qian Hui and Zhao Fu are very skilled in martial arts. When fighting with the men in black, they will definitely leave traces along the way, but they suddenly disappeared in Xiaoquan Lane, east street of the border town, which shows that among these men in black, there are people with extremely good medical skills or extremely high martial arts. They knocked them out or were stunned and forced to take them away.

The soldiers and civilians in the city could all know who Qian Hui and Zhao Fu were, so... Among these men in black, there must be a person with extremely advanced disguise skills. Furthermore, at that time, the Xiongnu and Xianbei attacked the city, and all four gates were blocked by military and horses, and the city walls were covered by archers and shield soldiers.

This group of people could not escape from the city gate, nor could they take three strong and unconscious men to climb over the wall and climb the city. Therefore, the only chance they could escape from the city was that Lu Xun and Qianshan led the people of the city to evacuate from the secret passage of the Protectorate Mansion."

Lu Xun was extremely shocked and stood there unable to speak.

Looking at Ning Nanyou's expression was extremely gloomy, Ji Xianzhi's eyebrows pounded, and he felt uneasy.
