Zheng Bo's life has been extremely chaotic these days. After Ning Xia left, he has been fighting with her in a battle of wits and courage, chasing after her, vowing to catch her.
He also didn't expect that a mere foundation-building monk could be so difficult to deal with. He lost him just when he was about to be caught time and time again, and then another long reincarnation began.
This made him more certain that Ning Xia's identity was not simple, nor was his purpose of coming, and perhaps his intentions were very big. This actually strengthened his obsession to capture Ningxia.
You chase me, and both parties have a hard time. Compared to Zheng Bo, who had a natural advantage in terms of numbers and strength, Ningxia was at a much disadvantage. Except for her trump card, the little black box, she had no advantage anywhere.
"Excuse me, can your master's family only be able to recruit so many people?" Looking at the sparse group of people in front of him, who seemed to be "helpers" of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, Zheng Bo frowned in confusion, and his face was inevitably a little ugly.
The middle-aged monk who was the leader of the group could see a little, but he could not hide his tired look. His face was as pale as paper. At first glance, he looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness or had been bedridden for a long time.
The fifth family was too negligent and actually sent such a group of people to assist in their search. They were all from the alliance, and Zheng Bo couldn't help but feel a little angry as they dared to neglect them like this.
The leading middle-aged man seemed to have a good temper. Facing Zheng Bo's fierce questioning and slightly angry face, he was not angry and said slowly: "Zheng Daoyou, please be patient. Please understand that the master did not mean it." You are being negligent. But there is a reason for doing this. Please listen to my fellow Taoist and explain."
Don’t reach out to hit the smiling man. The fifth company's status was extremely aloof even in the alliance. With such an attitude, Zheng Bo could not continue to react, so he had to hold back and see what the other party had to say.
"Fellow Daoist Zheng also knows that the young master of our clan will succeed as the head of the family soon, so"
The fifth purple family head succession ceremony will be held soon. This is a rare event for the fifth family, so most of the fifth family's staff have been deployed to various aspects to ensure that the ceremony can be held smoothly.
A small amount of manpower remains to meet daily needs. Normally, it would not be difficult to send a team of people to assist Zheng Bo in his pursuit. After all, this is a rule that all families in the alliance need to abide by.
However, some special things happened in the meantime, leaving the fifth family with no time to allocate resources to meet Zheng Bo's needs.
A few days ago, Fifth Purple claimed that an important treasure was lost and was suspected to have been stolen by an illegal intruder. Moreover, special techniques have been used to locate the trace of that person, who is now fleeing around Yundao.
Because what was lost was so important, and what could be more important than Zheng Bo's so-called "spies", at least to the fifth family. So part of the remaining manpower of the fifth family was used to hunt down the daring little thief.
The remaining people were almost not enough to meet their daily needs, so how could they allocate some manpower to help Zheng Bo track down the spies? After the fifth family refused once, Zheng Bo came to the door again, and the other party had no choice but to After agreeing, it took a whole day to gather such a team to make up the number.
Although the leading middle-aged man spoke in a very cryptic and nice way, the essence of the matter was basically revealed. They were helpless and just followed orders.
There were even some of them who had been torn out of wounds, and they were all sick and disabled, and they all looked wilted, and they couldn't be expected to do anything. The fifth family sent this group of people out just to show their stance and to prevaricate.
Listen, what else can Zheng Bo do? He can't do anything.
Not to mention that the fifth family has always acted in a domineering manner, but being able to cooperate is already a reward. Let's just say that it was embarrassing enough for a group of people to be fooled by a foundation-building spy, and they didn't want to make this matter a big deal.
In the end, I could only endure it. It would be better if there were more people. Although these people are not in good condition, their cultivation level is not bad. The middle-aged man in the lead looks like a monk who has been promoted to the golden elixir for a long time. His cultivation level is probably very stable, and he is also a helper.
He had noticed that the spy pretending to be Lin Mo seemed to be restrained, and his trajectory was probably revealed. After a while, they might be able to catch him.
But it's not enough, it's too slow. The succession ceremony for the head of the fifth family is about to begin. As members of the alliance, they must attend, otherwise the fifth family will be dissatisfied. Then the succession ceremony has to be followed by a trial run.
In other words, if you don't catch the person as soon as possible and then ask the other person to seize this gap to escape, you won't be able to find him even if you try to find him.
Zheng Bo has a feeling that he must find the other party as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will become more complicated if it continues.
Seeing that Zheng Bo relaxed and seemed not to pursue the manpower matter anymore, the leading man breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally we can make a deal.
"Lost treasure." In the dark alley, the man sneered and couldn't help but cough before he finished laughing.
He was restrained at first, but then he coughed heavily as if he couldn't stop the tightness in the back of his throat, causing a burst of retching. He couldn't see the other person's condition in the darkness, but just hearing the sound made him feel extremely sad.
Even though he was feeling so uncomfortable, Gu Huai was so excited that he wanted to laugh, and a wave of dizziness hit him. Only then did he realize what kind of trap he had fallen into.
No wonder those people could so openly break into the flying boat to search for him. The group of people who turned out to be the same group had been eyeing him since they got on the boat.
It seemed that they were so arrogant that day. They encountered a space storm halfway, and they must have died in it. On the contrary, it was funny that he, a half-dead sick man, stood on this land alive.
I finally escaped from the space storm, but not long after I landed, a second wave of dog-skin plaster was applied to me. And his situation was even worse than before, because he found that the dogs that had been chasing him had also found a lot of dog legs for him, and they were searching the whole city for him day and night.
He couldn't remember that he had ever taken away the fifth family's treasures. It was just an excuse for those people to collude.
This morning he took the risk to wander around the perimeter and discovered that the fifth house had closed the inner city early and no longer allowed outsiders to enter. Of course, the people inside are not asked to go out.
Gu Huai had a lot of tricks, but now that he was seriously injured and being watched closely, it was not easy to get out. Even if he went out, he might not be able to get through the dimensional passage to leave. When the time comes, he would be like someone trying to catch a turtle in a urn, but he would have to die.
Therefore, we must consider the long term before leaving this matter. Of course, first he had to get rid of the group of people behind him so that they would not have the energy to hold on to him.
It wasn't like Gu Huai had failed before. He had even relied on such a stalemate to keep those bullies from succeeding. To some extent, he is quite resilient.
