"ah?"
"What!? Purple Flame Sword?"
A woman's surprised voice came from Lianji's bedroom.
Dongfang Meiyan and Lianji looked at Xu Zhen in disbelief.
"No, no," Lian Ji waved her hand and said, "If the Purple Flame Sword was really in those containers, and Fang Wu was not sick, he would have given it to Emperor Xinzong long ago, why should he stay in the county jail and suffer? "
"Yes, Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan pondered, "I think your plan is inappropriate. The enemies are here for the things in the container. What if they know that the Purple Flame Sword is not in the container? I think, or Wouldn’t it be better to use the real thing as bait?”
"This..." Lianji was embarrassed, obviously not wanting to take this thing out.
"Ahem, let's take a gamble." Xu Zhenfeng said calmly, "Anyway, the knife is already ready, it would be a pity not to use it! Let's do this, I will send someone to put the knife... in your demon building later. How’s the kitchen?”
"..." The two women looked at each other.
"Just kidding," Xu Zhen added with a smile, "Don't worry, if the effect of the Purple Flame Knife explodes, the other party will definitely be fooled. As for the contents of the container, I think it's better not to take them out and take risks, right?"
"Yes, yes." Lianji nodded in agreement.
"You..." Dongfang Meiyan still frowned, "Then when did you make the fake knife? Why didn't I know?"
"Yes," Lian Ji asked hurriedly, "How can it be possible to burn purple flames in this world? Maybe it's just a legend that Taizu's sword burns purple flames?"
"When the time comes," Xu Zhen said confidently, "you only need to spray a squirt of liquor on the knife, then light it on fire, and you will be able to witness the miracle!
"As long as you see the rusty knife burning with purple flames, I guarantee that the enemy will get carried away with excitement and come to snatch it at all costs!"
"But..." Lianji thought about it carefully, but still asked hesitantly, "You want us to enter the memorial hall and fight with the Divine Catcher Division until we both lose?"
"It's fake," Xu Zhen said, "It's just acting."
"I know, but," Lian Ji asked, "how can you guarantee that there will be no traitors among the people who enter the Sou Yuan and the Divine Catcher Division?"
"Of course it can be guaranteed," Xu Zhen smiled at Lianji, "Jinzouyuan and Shenqi Division are both temporarily involved. The enemy has no idea that you will be involved, so the possibility of a traitor is naturally very small."
"Ah?" Lianji was shocked, "How do you know that entering the memorial hall is a temporary entry?"
"What?" Xu Zhen stared at Lian Ji, "Isn't it right? If you didn't join the situation temporarily, then you should have been secretly arrested by them long ago, right? If I guessed correctly, in the matter of Fang Wubing , you should be just an outsider, right?"
"Oh?" Dongfang Meiyan was a little confused, "An outsider?"
Lian Ji was even more shocked and blurted out a classic line: "Who are you? How come you know everything?"
"Of course it was analyzed," Xu Zhen said calmly, "After your identity was exposed, the Divine Catcher Division monitored you for so long, but found that there was no change in the demon building, and everything was as usual.
"From this, I can judge that entering the Academy may have nothing to do with the Fang Wubing incident. Your identity should be just the manager of the Demon Tower!"
"Wha...what..." Dongfang Meiyan asked hurriedly, "Didn't I say before that Lianji was Fang Wubing's contact person? She should be surrounded by eyeliners, why..."
"Well, I lied before," Lian Ji lowered her head and admitted, "Fang Wubing's contact person is not me, I am just his unknown old friend, who is what you call - an accomplice!"
"Huh?" Dongfang Meiyan was shocked at first, and then her eyes widened with anger.
"I can't help it," Lianji explained, "I know that lying can't be hidden from you, so I can only tell nine truths and one lie. These are the basic skills for us to enter the memorial hall."
"Why did you lie?" Dongfang Meiyan asked fiercely.
"Because I can't trust you either?" Lian Ji replied, "No matter what, I can't leave no trump card, right?"
"It's really yours!" Dongfang Meiyan clenched her fists fiercely, but after all, what the other party said was reasonable, so she could only hold back.
"I said, most of what I told is the truth," Lian Ji said, "The whole story is roughly the same: Fang Wubing rescued me from a brothel, and asked his master to arrange for me to enter the Academy, and then step by step he became a Steward.
"For me, Fang Wubing is not only my savior, but also my only relative and only lover...
“It’s just that I have a working relationship with Wu Bing and no one knows about my relationship with Fang Wu Bing except his master Yue Jinglei.
"So, not only am I not Fang Wubing's liaison, but I also have nothing to do with his undercover or mission," Lian Ji said. "His mission in Daguan City was purely coincidental; and the reason why I helped him was It is also purely a personal relationship and cannot be known to outsiders.”
"Oh..." Dongfang Meiyan finally came to her senses, "No wonder Fang Wubing's secret can be hidden so deeply. After six years of searching, no one has been able to find those five containers."
"So six years ago," Xu Zhen asked, "what happened?"
"It's not very complicated," Lian Ji said. "Fang Wubing robbed the container and killed his accomplices, but found that there was no rusty knife in the container. He was unwilling to let the clues be cut off, so he entrusted me to help him hide the contents of the container. , and then took the initiative to be arrested by the government!
“His plan is to use himself as bait to lure the owner of the container out, and then continue looking for the rusty knife.
"This fool," Lian Ji said angrily, "has bet his whole life on that broken knife that may never be found!"
"I see," Dongfang Meiyan nodded and said, "No wonder, the conditions we offered can impress you! Living together with your old lover is probably what you have always dreamed of, right?"
"I don't deny it," Lian Ji replied coldly, "I just don't know... are you lying to me?"
"Mom, you will know soon if I lied to you or not." Xu Zhen smiled slightly, then pointed to the table, "Come on, let's finalize all the details..."
…
An hour later, tensions were rising in the demon building. The spies who entered the memorial hall had a tense confrontation with the agents of the Divine Catcher Division and the government guards brought by Sima Xin.
"Mom, there's no need for us to hurt our friendship," Xu Zhen was trying to persuade Lian Ji excitedly, "Let's talk. Can we have a good talk?"
As a result, just as Xu Zhen was approaching Lian Ji, the escape smoke from his sleeve had been released, and a choking white smoke instantly filled the room.
This is an escape prop carefully prepared by Xu Zhen based on "The Way of Demons". It is like a modern smoke bomb. After being released, it can not only interfere with the enemy's sight, but also stun the enemy and affect their mind.
While the smoke filled the air, Lian Ji screamed in response, and then quickly ejected the crossbow arrows she had prepared on her chest, creating the illusion that she was injured by the arrows.
As a result, the spies who entered the memorial hall and the detectives of the Divine Catching Division understood each other and immediately started a fierce "fight", fighting to the death, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
During the fight, they all made a tacit agreement not to target those Sima Xin's men, but only fired a few symbolic arrows at them, and then splashed the prepared plasma on them.
Sima Xin's subordinates also knew that their own strength was not enough to compete with the spies, so they were all unable to evade and did not dare to move forward.
But in the chaos, they suddenly heard Lian Ji's sad and angry voice: "Okay, I said, the things are in the kitchen, in the kitchen..."
…
