After successfully dealing with the militiamen who tried to stop him, Luo Yue quickly found the home of the father and son based on the auras of the two people and a prop distributed in advance.
...
"So the next actions of this group of magicians are very clear."
After finishing his analysis, Li Yi felt a little thirsty. He took a big drink of water and felt relieved. He was about to say something more when he heard a sudden realization.
"I see!"
"So these magicians used their abilities to evade search and sneak into ordinary people's homes?"
At first, Heishan thought what his master said was a bit unbelievable, but as he listened, it became more and more reasonable.
By the end, he was completely convinced. At this moment, he was staring at his master with admiring eyes, thinking that he was really following the wrong person.
With just a little bit of information, I was able to analyze the alien magician's plan in detail.
amazing!
"Then what do we do next?"
Already convinced of his master's inference, Heishan earnestly asked for advice.
"How to do it?"
Li Yi glanced at Heishan in surprise and said something that still surprised him.
"Why bother with these things?"
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
"ah?"
Montenegro's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this answer.
And Li Yi's next words refreshed his knowledge again.
"We are just guests. You don't think my fake aristocratic status can stand up to scrutiny, do you?"
"Since it can't be done, then the empire's decree to protect the nobles will naturally not take effect."
Li Yi was talking to himself, saying words that Heishan could not understand at all.
"We are just guests. Just imagine, the guest comes to the host's house and the host's house is robbed. Does the guest still have to be responsible for catching the thief?"
"There is no such reason!"
"As for what I said, it's just out of interest. Don't you think I would volunteer to expose Chen Zixuan's plan?"
Heishan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Strictly speaking, he was also an innocent person who was affected by the war. He was not very cold towards these forces that respected themselves, and even looked at them with a sense of resentment.
When he heard what Li Yi said, the resentment in Heishan's heart surged up.
All of a sudden, his eagerness to give it a try was gone.
That’s right, I’m not a lackey of these forces, so why should I care about Shayue City’s own affairs?
...
"What the hell are you doing!"
A roar came from the city lord's palace, causing the ground for miles around to tremble slightly.
When the nearby guards of the city lord's palace heard the deafening sound, they just raised their heads and looked sideways, then returned to normal and continued to perform their duties seriously.
Yue Xianwu angrily threw a stack of documents at the adjutant's face, with anger written all over his face.
"The order has been issued. Now you tell me that the rebels have disappeared?"
"Is this the advice you gave me?"
"That's it?"
The sound was like a bell, shaking the adjutant's eardrums to the point of bursting, but he remained unmoved, standing upright, motionless and enduring the roar of his temporary boss.
As Yue Wushuang's adjutant, he was obviously not very used to the city lord's nephew's questioning style, but his good professionalism allowed him to endure it.
It wasn't until Yue Xianwu calmed down a little that the adjutant adjusted his glasses and then spoke slowly.
"Your Excellency, the City Lord, this was all explained by the City Lord in advance. I did not make my own decisions, and..."
"And what? What else did my uncle say?"
Upon hearing that the order came from his uncle, Yue Xianwu immediately calmed down.
Even though he hated to admit it.
But his uncle's prestige in Shale City was unmatched.
Even if he is not in the city at this time, he is still the same!
The adjutant glanced at Yue Xianwu, who had completely calmed down, and uttered one word.
"wait."
"Wait? Wait for what?"
The adjutant shook his head and said he knew nothing. No matter how Yue Xianwu pressed him, he remained silent in response.
Obviously, he is not prepared to pay attention to this acting city lord!
And Yue Xianwu also knew that there was nothing he could do against his uncle's adjutant, so he stood up and left the city lord's mansion directly.
Since these idiots can't find it, I'll go find it myself!
"Hey, this kid is still so impatient. How can this be okay?"
What he didn't know was that all of this was seen by an inconspicuous figure outside the city.
This man did not hide his appearance, but was dressed in ordinary clothes. He looked no different from the most ordinary refugee in the desert.
But this person's temperament cannot be completely concealed by his dressing up.
He was just as simple as squatting next to the campfire like an old man, but he gave people a sense of arrogance, as if this vast desert was only worthy of surrendering under him.
"Sir, the young master still needs more time to practice."
At this time, a person next to the old man saluted him respectfully.
This man was wearing brocade clothes, and at first glance he looked like a big shot in a high position, but next to this old man, he looked as humble as a servant.
That ordinary old man was like a king in disguise.
The old man completely ignored his subordinates' intentions and continued to mind his own business, seeming to be nagging, but also speaking as if he was speaking his mind.
"Actually, I don't know Xiao Wu's shortcomings, but what should I do? People are always going to die. I can't look at the Yue family's hard work all my life. By then, it will all be given to him. If I don't exercise now, If you exercise, if that day comes, it will really be too late!”
"This is indeed an excellent opportunity. Once I can see what these magicians have developed over the years, I feel confident."
"Another way to see how well Xiaowu handles things is when he encounters such a minor matter."
"Now I have seen the second point. Alas, it would be false to say that I am not disappointed. Fortunately, there is still time and he can continue to grow."
Having said this, the old man took a rare look at his men.
"By the way, are you sure the clone you left behind won't be discovered?"
"Sir, there will be no problem. It is not a clone of the lower official. I can remotely control it at any time. Even a strong man of the same level cannot see the flaw."
The old man nodded slightly when he heard the words and started talking again.
"That's good, that's good. With you watching him, I feel relieved..."
The men beside the old man were naturally the city lord's adjutants. He was in the wild at this time, and those who were worthy of his labor and had been waiting by his side, except for the strongest man in the desert in the northern region, the city lord of Salle City. Apart from Yue Wushuang, there is no one else.
It's just that the current Yue Wushuang does not have the hegemonic aura rumored by the outside world. Instead, he is more like an ordinary old man who is worried about the growth of his children.
What he said was all about his worries about his children's growth, and not the slightest concern for Shale City, which was being invaded.
Those elite magicians who were like a plague to others were no different from children playing house to this old man.
After a long time, the city lord's adjutant finally found an opportunity to report to him everything that had happened since the arrival of the Chen family's caravan.
But Yue Wushuang always had her eyes half-closed, with an indifferent attitude.
It wasn't until he heard the news from the adjutant that he was "suspected to be someone from the nobles of the Southern District" that he reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at his adjutant.
"Oh? Someone is coming from the South District?"
"Those noble gentlemen who can do nothing but enjoy themselves are willing to send their own children to this poor place like ours? Are you sure you read that right?"
The adjutant hesitated for a while and expressed his judgment.
"That's what the intelligence says."
"But I personally think that person should have nothing to do with the nobles of the Southern District."
"Tell me your reasons."
Yue Wushuang casually took a sip of the spirit produced in the desert. This kind of wine was very expensive. It was a luxury to be able to make wine in such a barren area.
Most people use mare's milk to quench their thirst.
The adjutant thought for a moment and said only one sentence, but it was surprisingly convincing.
"According to the Sha family brothers' information, this man has not complained at all since he got on the caravan's carriage."
"It is impossible for the nobles of the Southern District to have such endurance."
