Chapter 952 Mage
Zhan Mu urged in a low voice: "We must quickly find an open place to send a signal to mother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a heavy knock on the door outside.
He anxiously asked, "Grandma Li, what's going on? Why is there no movement? Are you okay?"
Zhan Xuan opened the door without hesitation and hit him hard on the head with the baton he had prepared long ago.
"Bang!" The man fell directly to the ground.
The two little guys strode out and soon attracted the attention of several strong men.
They shouted anxiously: "Quick, catch them, don't let them get away, the wizard only needs these two children!"
Zhan Xuan and Zhan Mu were extremely agile, hiding here and there, making those strong men so tired that they were gasping for breath in just a few moments.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhan Mu immediately took out the small black ball from his sleeve.
Zhan Xuan asked curiously: "Brother, what are you holding?"
Zhan Mu directly shoved it into his hand and said, "Throw it down! Throw it down to the ground!"
Zhan Xuan thought it was some kind of sharp weapon and became very excited.
He quickly hit the ground and saw a blue beam explode directly into the air, shining with a bright light.
He was stunned: "How beautiful!"
However, before he finished speaking, two strong men had already clamped him on the left and right.
He yelled angrily, "Brother, you tricked me. Why did you bring this broken firework ball out for no reason? Look, you've been caught, right? What should I do?"
Zhan Mu seemed very calm. He said calmly, "If you hadn't been arrested, how could you have met Wang Jianshu?"
Zhan Xuan felt wronged: "But I, but I don't want to be so embarrassed!"
The two men were gagged and sent to the backyard. As soon as they entered the house, a black cloth was covered over their heads.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two finally saw the light of day again.
The scene before them really shocked them, because more than a dozen little boys were being put into a huge wooden barrel.
Zhan Xuan was stunned, and he subconsciously looked for Wang Jianshu.
At this moment, a man with a ghost face and a black robe shouted at Liu San and Wu Da: "What's wrong with these two? Why didn't you give them a bath?"
Wu Da said fearfully: "Master, they woke up early and there was no time to clean them up!"
The mage urged impatiently: "No, we can't let them have any dirt on them, throw them into the pool and wash them clean!"
"Yes!" Wu Da had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Zhan Xuan suddenly shouted: "Wang Jianshu, Xiao Shushu, look at me quickly, I am your boss Xuan!"
A young man in the barrel suddenly reacted. He raised his head anxiously and said, "Boss Xuan? Were you arrested too?"
Zhan Xuan waved at him: "Not only me, but also my elder brother!"
When Wang Jianshu saw the two of them, he immediately burst into tears.
Liu San quickly covered Zhan Xuan's mouth: "Shut up, wait until you are clean, then you can stay with him!"
Zhan Xuan is not someone who can be bullied. As soon as he learned to walk, Yinghun taught him various self-defense methods.
He took advantage of his small stature and bit his wrist hard.
"Ah!" Liu San, who was caught off guard, let out a shrill scream.
Zhan Xuan broke away from him and ran around the huge wooden barrel, challenging him as he ran: "Come on, come and catch me! As long as you catch me, your master Xuan, I will reward you with five hundred taels of silver!"
Liu San rushed forward despite the pain, but was tripped by Zhan Xuan.
He sat on his back and shouted, "Ride the big horse, big brother, come and ride the big horse!"
Zhan Mu couldn't help but frown. He really didn't know who this silly second brother took after. Even though the situation was so dangerous, he still had time to show off.
Obviously Zhan Xuan angered the Ghost-faced Mage. Without saying a word, he raised his sleeves towards him.
A burst of fragrant powder filled Zhan Xuan's nose, and he squinted his eyes and sniffed: "Hey, it smells so good, do you have any more? More?"
The ghost-faced wizard's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect that this kid was not controlled by the incense.
He asked in shock, "Why aren't you unconscious yet?"
Zhan Xuan asked in confusion: "Why are you unconscious? It's so lively here, I have to keep my eyes open and watch carefully!"
The ghost-faced wizard lost his patience and reached out to grab Zhan Xuan.
Zhan Xuan was prepared and attacked his waist with the baton in his hand.
The ghost-faced wizard dodged in a panic and saw the baton hit the huge wooden barrel with a bang.
Nothing could be seen at first, but after a moment, the sturdy wooden barrel that he had carefully crafted with great difficulty suddenly cracked.
The Ghost-Faced Wizard was terrified and subconsciously clenched his fists.
If he had dodged a little slower, the thing on his waist would have been smashed to pieces!
It’s so scary, how can this little guy have so much strength?
Zhan Xuan stared at him with his dark eyes and hooked his finger at him provocatively: "Come on, don't you want to put me in the barrel? As long as you can catch me, I will grant your wish!"
A ferocious look flashed in the Ghost-Faced Mage's eyes. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Do you think you can escape after entering my sacrifice pit? Don't dream. I have many ways to make you submit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone with a worried look on his face ran in to report, "Master, something bad has happened! A lot of soldiers have suddenly arrived outside the village, saying they want to search for the missing boy!"
The pupils of the Ghost-Faced Mage shrank violently. He turned and glared at Zhan Xuan: "Who the hell are you?"
Zhan Xuan finally realized what was happening, and he immediately smiled with his eyes curved. "So what my eldest brother asked me to throw wasn't just an ordinary firework ball, but a signal ball to inform my great uncle!"
The noble mage demanded, "Please explain clearly, what signal ball?"
Zhan Mu, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke slowly: "I am the eldest son of the Zhan Yihou Mansion, and that is my second brother!"
The Ghost-Faced Mage kicked Liu San to the ground, angrily scolding him, "Didn't I tell you not to arrest children from wealthy families? What's going on with these two?"
Liu San argued in panic, "We just thought they were children from ordinary families. They lived in an ordinary courtyard with only their mothers by their side. They didn't even have anyone to serve them!"
The Ghost-faced Mage was no longer concerned with asking for punishment. He had to find a way to get rid of those officers and soldiers as soon as possible.
He reached out and dragged Liu San away, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Zhan Xuan wanted to chase, but he was still a step too slow.
The stone door fell down with a bang, trapping him and the little guys together.
He asked Zhan Mu with a serious expression: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Zhan Mu comforted them: "Don't be afraid, mother will come to rescue us, let's get them out of the barrel first!"
The two men worked together to untie more than a dozen boys. Two of the little guys cautiously called out, "Zhan Xuan, Zhan Mu!"
Zhan Xuan blinked curiously. "Huh? Aren't these the two treasures from the Ye family in the Duke's Mansion? They were also captured and used as sacrifices?"
Ye Qian nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I don't know what happened, but we woke up here and my second brother and I were scared to death!"
