I'm useless, but my apprentices are all gods who protect others.

Chapter 144 144. The killing of the disciple

The carriage left the city smoothly and stopped at the designated place. Sheng Yi could not move. He only knew from the conversation between the demons outside the carriage that there were hundreds of demons and beasts here.

"Sister Ayin, we will take the water route next, but there is not enough space on the boat now. You guys wait here for a while. A boat will pick you up soon. I will take them there first."

Qinghong opened the curtain and said to the people in the car.

She nodded kindly, and then the crowd faded away, leaving only a few people sitting there, nodding their hands, and it was difficult to say anything.

Shengyi waited quietly until the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and then an impact came from behind. In an instant, the carriage spun around and several people fell out of the carriage.

What came were human soldiers.

"If I hadn't been in a good mood today and went out hunting, I wouldn't have encountered this." Chong Lan was dressed in hunting clothes, with the sword in his hand resting on Zhong Yueling's neck.

"Meng Mu reported to the guards with the city lord's token and left the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he started making small moves today."

"I thought I deceived him very well, but I didn't expect that I was the one who was kept in the dark when he turned against me?"

In this case, the migration route map he followed yesterday by approaching Meng Mu when he greeted him must also be fake.

Chong Lan casually killed the civets and demons who were in the same carriage with Sheng Yi, and signaled to his men to arrest the four of them.

Due to being forcefully controlled, Sheng Yi couldn't even struggle, so she had no choice but to let herself be taken away by Chong Lan.

……

"Chengyin and the others were robbed?" When the boat that came to pick up Shengyi saw Chonglan's people from a distance, they hid in the nearby reed swamps and immediately reported the news to Meng Mu after they left.

For a moment, Meng Mu's mind went blank, but he still forced himself to calm down: "How many beasts and demons are left in the north area of ​​the city now?"

Donkey Laosi: "There are one hundred and thirty-two people left."

In recent years, several batches have been sent out one after another, but I didn’t expect that there were so many people left.

Meng Mu: "Let Qinghong change the backup map, and be sure to send them away safely. As for the remaining one hundred or so, since they have been noticed by Chonglan, there is no need to send them out anymore."

Zhu Lao San hesitated: "Then now is..."

Meng Mu: "The plan went on as usual. Chonglan captured my men but stood still. He must have wanted to catch me off guard. When the time comes, I will lead the thousands of people out of the city, and you can let the remaining demons and beasts escape in the chaos." "

As for whether you can survive or not, it all depends on your ability.

Donkey Laosi was worried: "Then I will send someone to find out about Cheng Yin and the others now?"

Meng Mu clenched his fists hard, his nails digging into his flesh and bleeding. He restrained himself: "Chonglan won't kill them now, don't worry."

Since Chonglan knew Chengyin's importance in Meng Mu's heart, he would not take action easily.

Since it is a weakness, of course it is easy to live.

The fourth donkey and the third pig looked at each other, both filled with sorrow and worry.

When they were leaving, Meng Mu stopped them: "Give some money to those hundreds of people, as much as you have, but you can't take it from me."

Pig Lao San: "Boss, what are you doing? Who doesn't know that you are usually the most stingy..."

Meng Mu was once poor, and he usually calculated his money carefully, but now it was so abnormal that people couldn't help but care.

Meng Mu: "I can't protect them completely, so I have to give them some money. If I can't protect them, this is the only difference."

Seeing the two of them still standing there, Meng Mu got impatient and said, "Stop looking at me like that. Just go when I tell you to. Stop being so rude and go away."

Donkey Laosi’s nose was sore: “Boss, actually you don’t have to do this for us…”

In fact, Meng Mu was not the leader at the beginning.

More and more demons and orcs just came to him to join a group to keep warm, and they naturally became leaders.

They gave Meng Mu responsibility, but never asked him if he was willing.

Meng Mu sighed: "Okay, let's go quickly."

Donkey Laosi and Zhu Laosan repeatedly confirmed that Meng Mu was fine and left.

Meng Mu stared at their backs, remained silent for a moment, and then returned to the study. He took out the gadgets that Chonglan once loved so much. After looking at them carefully, he put them back in the drawer, locked them, and destroyed the keys.

He thought about leaving Mirage City and made full preparations outside, but he still couldn't bear to leave.

In addition to the reason that it took too long to get used to it, there was also the fear that Chonglan would get lost and not be able to find his way home.

Time has passed and everything has changed.

……

When it was time to report to leave, Meng Mu and others got ready and led hundreds of demons and orcs out of the city. As expected, the guards at the city gate intercepted them. When they turned around, Chonglan led thousands of soldiers and surrounded them.

The two parties were confronting each other. Meng Mu had a polite smile on his face: "Didn't you agree to let us go? Chonglan, what are you doing?"

Chong Lan smiled and said, "I also want to let you go, but a few days ago your patrol team bullied our man in full view of everyone. Soon we found that he died tragically at home. You can't explain it if you don't give an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a body was carried up. It was the person who had an argument with the patrol a few days ago, and then called the officers and soldiers to have a fight with the patrol.

Meng Mu's eyes darkened, there was something fishy about this matter, maybe it was Chonglan who was directing and acting on his own, whether the accusation was false or the attack was real.

Chong Lan glanced at the people behind Meng Mu: "For the sake of fairness and justice, I want to arrest the murderers in the patrol team and hand them over immediately, otherwise no one will be able to leave today."

Meng Mu simply made it clear: "Since you are deliberately directing and acting, why do you need to be pretentious?"

Zhonglan raised his eyebrows: "I can't compare to Brother Meng Mu when it comes to acting. He said he was related to my family, but he gave me a lot of false news, which made me complacent for a long time and thought I had met a fool."

Meng Mu: "Just because I recognize you as my brother doesn't mean I can put other people's lives in your hands."

The two opened the skylight and spoke frankly. Meng Mu said, "Let go of all the demons and beasts in your hands and let us get out of the city safely. Otherwise, all the humans behind me will die."

Meng Mu waved his hand, and Donkey Laosi followed his instructions and pulled back the black cloth on the carriage behind him. Under the black cloth was a prison car, and in the car were real human beings.

Chong Lan was slightly stunned. He knew that Meng Mu had started sending demons and beasts out of the city early, but he never thought that Meng Mu had captured so many people silently.

Sobs could be heard from time to time in the prison car. Zhonglan glanced at the humans in the prison car. Their dark eyes were staring straight at him, as if they saw hope - hoping that Chonglan could rescue them.

Chong Lan looked at them, his lips curved slightly, and he smiled mockingly.

Meng Mu first gave him false news about leaving the city, pretending to let him follow the fake migration map, and secretly sent most of the demons and beasts out of the city. Now he threatened the humans, so he had already made sure that he would leave the city.

Very beautiful strategy.

But a little overestimate——

Chonglan’s humanity.

Chong Lan ordered his men: "Drive out the nearby people."

The men did as they were told, and after returning to life, Zhonglan signaled to the monk behind him. In an instant, a huge formation appeared above his head, and fireballs fell from the formation, hitting the hostage behind Meng Mu directly.

The fireball was extremely destructive, and all screams and cries stopped the moment it hit - in one breath, hell on earth was already in front of him.

Meng Mu escaped the fireball attack, but when he turned around, there were no bones left of the thousands of hostages, and he was shocked.

He expected that Chonglan would prevent him from leaving the city, so he captured these prisoners from the prisons in various cities as hostages. He never thought of killing them, but just wanted to use them as a bargaining chip to get out of the city smoothly.

Meng Mu looked at Chonglan and felt extremely strange.

"Now you have no hostages." Chonglan smiled, "The instructions from above are to take your head and completely quell the riot. How can I let you go so easily?"

How to completely quell the riot?

As long as there are demons and beasts, the disputes will never stop.

Then cut the grass and root it out.

Zhu Lao San was furious: "Those are your compatriots, how could you -"

Chonglan said indifferently: "Why, I feel sorry for you. If you feel sorry for me, don't say they are being used as hostages. The one who really killed them is yourselves."

Meng Mu remained silent, just staring at Chonglan.

Chong Lan smiled even more heartily: "This is just an appetizer, the real highlight is just starting now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a skull rolled to Meng Mu's feet.

In an instant, Meng Mu's blood flowed backwards.

Cheng Yin's head.

It was as if a sword was piercing his spine, making Meng Mu unable to move as if he was pinned.

Not only that, Meng Mu's friends who thought they had escaped were pushed out by Wuhuada. Except for Qinghong and a few people who were not there, everyone else was captured.

"You're just a bitch, you don't really think you can beat me in a fight, do you?"

Chonglan smiled.

"While I'm in a good mood now, I'll give you a designated opportunity."

"How about who is designated—who dies last?"
