The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 60 Escape
Wang Hai's pupils shrank slightly: "Master Zhou..."

He immediately understood the identity of the stern-faced middle-aged man: the leader of the Ming Cult's Thick Earth Banner, Zhou Mingxu.

Although this man's name is bright and warm, he was actually the head of the Ming Cult's secret service fifteen years ago. During these fifteen years, those who fought back and forth with the Jinyiwei were basically his subordinates.

He was cruel and merciless, and his subordinates had killed countless people. From what he said just now, it was clear that he had been watching Wang Hai torture his subordinates in secret, but he never showed up. It was not until the man could no longer endure the torture that he killed him.

From this point, we can see that he does not care about the lives of others, even his subordinates.

This person was an expert in disguise, and he showed himself in different guises many times, sometimes as an old man, sometimes even as a woman, so Wang Hai didn't recognize him at first.

And this man's martial arts should be similar to Liu Baiyun's.

Although he had not yet reached the pinnacle, his years of hard training, coupled with the Ming Cult's advanced techniques and accumulated resources, had given him an extremely deep foundation. He was already a top-level expert.

If he were alone, Wang Hai would be in great danger.

The young man was obviously also a member of the Ming Cult. He was so casual towards Zhou Mingxu that he must be a high-ranking member of the Ming Cult.

Wang Hai knew the only two remaining flag leaders of the Ming Cult. They were both quite old and could not compare to this young man.

He might be the guardian who was promoted later, or even the Right Envoy of the Ming Cult, who the Jinyiwei could never find out any information about.

Although the situation was critical, Wang Hai was not panicked. He just calmly asked, "May I ask what is your relationship with Captain Li?"

Wang Hai's plan was that he was obviously no match for the enemy now, so he could only wait and see if he could escape. But since he was here and the other party was not in a hurry to attack, he would try to get some advice before escaping.

I'm afraid I won't be able to escape unless I lose half my life, and I have to exchange this half life for something.

The young man showed no hostility at all and smiled gently: "You know him."

"Qian Hu... How come it's been fifteen years, and he's still just a Qian Hu? Is your commander old and blind?"

Wang Hai suddenly realized the message in his words: fifteen years.

Fifteen years ago, it was the time when the Jinyiwei strangled the Ming Cult. Li Miao did not leave the capital that time, but was in Shuntian Prefecture to kill the group of Ming Cult members who brought witchcraft into the capital.

Judging from the young man's appearance, he is no more than 20 years old. Then wouldn't he have been only in his teens fifteen years ago? There was no one so young among the Ming Cult members who had seen Li Miao back then.

Wang Hai looked at the young man's face, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

He sent people to investigate You Ziang's past, and naturally he would also take a look at the files of the Plum Blossom Thief.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the young man's appearance was exactly the same as the one described in the file!
But how could the description in the files from fifteen years ago match?

"What is your relationship with Captain Li?" Wang Hai asked in a deep voice.

The young man smiled, turned sideways, lifted his long hair, and showed Wang Hai the plum blossom-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck: "Brother, since you came here to investigate, you should know this mark, right?"

"Fifteen years ago, Captain Li, as you call him, spared me. I was grateful to him day and night, and endured a lot of hardships. I just wanted to see him and repay him."

"If you know where he is now, can you tell me? I will remember your kindness."

Wang Hai finally confirmed that this young man was the Plum Blossom Thief, but for some reason he still looked like a young man.

And the Ming Cult's right-hand man whose true background is unknown is exactly him!

He was about to continue asking questions, but Zhou Mingxu said coldly: "Right Envoy, if you want to play, there are plenty of people to play with in the headquarters. Don't waste time and miss the important matter."

"At present, Lan Zuoshi has been on the move for several days. Why are you dragging me here and trying to get close to this wolf cub?"

"First, restrain him, cripple his hands and feet, and peel off his skin and flesh. Whatever you want to ask, it would save you a lot of time if I tortured you first."

Yun Zelin spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "Master Zhou, there are still four days before the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting. It's just right for us to rush over today. There's no need to rush."

He stroked his long hair gently like a woman and said, "Besides, I hate fighting and killing the most."

"I'm sorry, little brother."

Yun Zelin gave Wang Hai an apologetic smile: "Master Zhou has a bad temper, and I am a useless person, so my words don't count."

"Run for your lives! Banner Master Zhou is very powerful."

"Hmph!" Zhou Mingxu snorted coldly and rushed forward.

Before the person arrived, a cold light flashed from his cuffs, and dozens of fine needles flew over and pierced Wang Hai's acupuncture points! Wang Hai stepped back, turned around, and kicked the door.

boom!
The door panel was like a cannonball, blocking the fine needle and smashing towards Zhou Mingxu.

Zhou Mingxu punched the door panel in mid-air, causing wood chips to fly and break into several pieces on the spot.

But when he looked inside the house again, he saw a big hole in the roof and Wang Hai was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Mingxu turned and looked at Yun Zelin in the yard.

Yun Zelin smiled and spread his hands: "Don't look at me."

"You are the one who insisted on fighting with me, why should I stop you?"

Zhou Mingxu cursed inwardly, climbed up to the roof, saw Wang Hai's rapidly receding figure on the roof in the distance, and immediately used his lightness skills to chase after him.

He was much older than Wang Hai, and had a strong Qi. In addition, he was the leader of the Thick Earth Banner, and had been doing secret work for many years, so he was best at Qinggong.

In less than a moment, he caught up with Wang Hai.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Zhou Mingxu swung his hand, and dozens of poisoned darts flew towards Wang Hai's vest.

The current situation is similar to when Li Miao was chasing You Ziang. The hidden weapon is in front of him, no matter whether he blocks it or receives it, as long as he delays for a moment, Zhou Mingxu will take this opportunity to catch up.

Although they are both top-notch, Wang Hai's depth is still shallow. If he really faced Zhou Mingxu head-on, he would be in danger of death.

Wang Hai knew this and did not look back. He just relied on his ears to roughly guess the direction and at the same time reached back with his right arm.

Ding ding ding ding——

Dozens of darts hit the iron plate of Wang Hai's gloves, making crisp sounds.

puff!

However, a poison dart missed and pierced Wang Hai's right shoulder!
With a powerful enemy behind him, it was difficult to survive, so Wang Hai could only roughly protect his vital parts. The rest of his body could only rely on luck.

There was no time to pull out the poison dart, Wang Hai just kept running with his head down.

A feeling of numbness gradually spread across my shoulders.

Wang Hai gradually felt a little dizzy: "The poison of the Thick Earth Flag is indeed fierce."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape today..."

--------

Tai'an Prefecture, official road.

Xiao Si was riding his horse at a gallop when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

puff--!
She covered her chest, in doubt: "The love Gu is damaged... Brother Hai is in trouble!"

"How could it be, how could it be..."

Xiao Si's face turned pale, he became flustered and started to cry.

"No, no. Don't panic."

"The love Gu is not dead yet, and Brother Hai is not dead yet."

Xiao Si gritted his teeth.

"It's too late to turn around and ask for help now. The one who could have hurt Brother Hai to this extent is either the leader of the Ming Cult, or the Dharma Protector or the Left and Right Envoys!"

"We still have to go to Mount Tai... Only Mount Tai!"

Xiao Si put his hand on the horse's neck. The horse's eyes suddenly turned red and its speed suddenly increased.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Xiao Si wiped the blood and tears from his face, whipped the horse, and galloped towards Taishan Sect.
