Bai Lang has always felt that one of his greatest strengths is that he doesn't panic when something happens, and he can calm down quickly even if something unexpected happens. As long as you calm down, things will find a solution.
Now Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun are dead.
Chen Zhiyun died in Tang Yan's hands, and Tang Yan died in Bai Lang's hands.
Bailang thought for a while and then said to himself: "The trouble is not how to explain, but how to stabilize the situation."
In Bai Lang's opinion, he could explain the deaths of Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun no matter what. Just tell the truth, or make up another reason, because it's not important. The important thing is that he can continue to stay in the knife studio afterwards and take the position of the master swordsman.
That's right, what Bailang wanted was the position of the sword. And the benefits this position can bring him.
Therefore, the key is not to find any excuse to explain to the people in the knife studio. Because the people in the knife studio simply can't control anything regarding the "position of the sword".
"The root is still at the City Lord's Mansion!" Bai Lang had a suspicion in his mind.
So Bailang patted the folds of his robe, then glanced at the two corpses on the ground, without stopping, pushed open the stone door and walked out.
The courtyard was already secluded, and Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun were worried about taking care of Bailang, so there were no guards around. No one was guarding Bailang until he reached the alley outside the courtyard.
"Zudao is in seclusion. Mr. Chen is protecting the law. Don't disturb me until you have urgent matters. Do you understand?"
"I understand, little one!"
The guard had no doubt at all about the "Mr. Bai" who was very popular in the sword shop in front of him. Because no one expected that they would experience a fight in the secret room under the courtyard.
And Bailang didn't have to hide it all the time. He just needed to delay it for a day or even half a day.
"Master Bai."
Coming out of Hemp Rope Alley, the two followers guarding outside the alley quickly followed him.
Bai Lang didn't say anything, but after getting on the carriage, he said: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion."
Bailang was not qualified to see the city lord Feng Mingyuan directly, but he could see Zhou Zhonghao. So after some communication, waiting, and more communication, Bai Lang was led into the city lord's palace and met Zhou Zhonghao in a side hall of the outer palace.
"Bai Lang has met Mr. Zhou!"
"Bai Lang, why are you coming here to me when you're not busy with your business in your money shop?"
Zhou Zhonghao asked Bai Lang to sit down with a smile. He was also curious as to why Bai Lang came to him suddenly. To be honest, Zhou Zhonghao was very interested in the kid from the knife shop in front of him.
First of all, Bailang's mind is lively enough, he can always come up with new tricks, and he can still use them.
The second reason is that Bai Lang's origin is strange. It seems and checked that everything is solid and there is nothing missing. He is just a native of Yongchuan and should not have anything to do with the Qi Refiner. But Bai Lang is also a Qi practitioner, and he knows a very powerful method of concealing his breath. Even if they were face to face at this time, Zhou Zhonghao could not feel the slightest trace of Bai Lang as a Qi Refiner.
The last point is that there should be a lot of trouble in the knife hall at this time, and Bai Lang revealed his identity as a Qi practitioner at this time, which had to make Zhou Zhonghao, who is accustomed to calculating every detail, think more. Including this time when Bailang came to see him, Zhou Zhonghao seemed to smell something unusual.
When did the people from the Sword Hall not shy away from coming to the City Lord's Mansion alone to have a relationship? This in itself is abnormal.
"Master Zhou, Bailang has an undecided decision about something important. I want to meet the city lord. Please ask Master Zhou to lead me there." Bailang didn't mince words at all.
"Big event? What kind of big event?" Zhou Zhonghao's smile did not change. In his opinion, Bailang was probably just talking about the industrial park? Or maybe you have other ideas and want to meet the city lord directly instead of relying on others?
Bailang lowered his voice and said, "Chen Zhiyun is dead."
"Huh?!" The smile on Zhou Zhonghao's face suddenly froze.
"Tang Yan is also dead."
"What are you talking about?! Chen Zhiyun and Tang Yan are both dead? Who did it? Was it the assassin bought by Yuzhong?!" Zhou Zhonghao kept his voice low when speaking, but his anger burst out in a flash. It can be seen that his first reaction was that Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun were plotted by people in Yuzhong. This is completely different from the previous negotiation results between the City Lord's Mansion and Yuzhong.
Is Yuzhong so brave? That was something that was agreed upon under the guidance of Envoy Zeng Xianghong. Who gave them the courage to go back on their word now? !
But Bai Lang's next words immediately extinguished Zhou Zhonghao's anger.
"Chen Zhiyun was killed by Tang Yan. Tang Yan was killed by me."
".Did you kill him?!" Zhou Zhonghao was stunned for a while, wanting to ask clearly, but after thinking for a while he finally said: "Let's go, follow me to see the city lord now. You will make it clear then."
"It's Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Zhonghao's reaction calmed down Bailang's worries. Because Bai Lang saw that Zhou Zhonghao was furious when he initially thought that Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun were killed by people from Yuzhong Prefecture. But after learning that this was not the case and that Bai Lang was the murderer, his anger disappeared.
It can be seen that what Zhou Zhonghao is angry about is not the deaths of Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun, but the Yuzhong Prefecture's lack of trust. As long as it has nothing to do with Yuzhong Prefecture, there seems to be nothing for Zhou Zhonghao to be angry about. This reaction was in line with Bailang's expectations before he came.
At the same time, Bai Lang also had to say that he dared to rush to the City Lord's Mansion so straightforwardly because he borrowed the statement Tang Yan gave him before, that is, the statement that the sword hall is the "chamber pot" of the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the chamber pot, if it wears out, you can just replace it. Who would be angry because a chamber pot was broken?
Moreover, there is no way Bailang can get around this level of the City Lord's Mansion. So Bailang took a gamble, and now it seems he was right.
Following Zhou Zhonghao, he walked through the city lord's mansion and finally arrived outside a garden.
"You wait here, I will report to the city lord."
Bailang should be standing at the gate of the garden honestly. After waiting for a while, a maid came out of the garden and led Bailang in.
I saw Feng Mingyuan, the lord of Yongchuan City, in a pavilion among flowers.
"Bai Lang has met the Lord City Lord!"
"Bai Lang, remove your cover-up methods and let me see what level of cultivation you have now that can kill Tang Yan."
Bai Lang was only halfway through his courtesy, and he was immediately confused when he heard Feng Mingyuan's words. He raised his head and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Feng Mingyuan frowned and said, "What? Not willing? Or are you saying that you can't even show the specifics of your cultivation level?"
Bailang could only salute again, and then said with a grimace: "Sir, how dare Bailang have that kind of courage? It's just that I don't know how to let go of the cover up. It's not even my method at all."
say what? Tell me about the property panel? I guess explaining to people in this world what an attribute panel is would burn out Bailang's brain cells. Therefore, when Bailang spread his hands, he really didn't know how to let go of the cover.
