In the garden, Feng Mingyuan was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. He looked at the back of Bai Lang who was led out by the maid, and said to Zhou Zhonghao next to him with a smile: "You have good eyesight. Bai Lang is indeed a talent. Although he is not old, he has no brains." It's suitable for anyone who is brave enough to listen to it.
And currently he is considered a good choice for emergencies. If it's pretty good, there's no need to call people over from home. "
Zhou Zhonghao has followed Feng Mingyuan for so many years, and naturally he could tell that his master was in a good mood at this time, so he joked: "Your Excellency has a keen eye for discerning pearls. In the eyes of his subordinates, Bai Lang is just a talent for giving advice. Only Your Excellency has seen that he can still stand alone. Now that he is entrusted with important tasks by Your Excellency, he will definitely serve you to the death."
Feng Mingyuan waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "I still don't know whether I can stand alone. The main thing is that I don't have to bother. I also want to see if there is really any great person who fell to the ground behind Bai Lang. If there is, it will be settled today. A good thing."
"Behind? Sir, you mean?"
"Aren't you curious about Bai Lang's concealment method? That method is simply too wasteful in Bai Lang's hands. Why is there any need to cover up his early stage of Qi-entraining realm? But if it is used on a master, it will definitely It’s a strange move that makes it hard for opponents to guard against.”
"Sir, you still think Bailang has reservations?"
"It is inevitable to have reservations. After all, it is related to the inheritance of his practice. But I just tried the concealment method. The meridians and spiritual energy in his body did not even have any rhythm. It was indeed not him who was using it, and he was not lying."
Zhou Zhonghao was slightly stunned when Feng Mingyuan said these words.
Zhou Zhonghao had previously thought that Feng Mingyuan deliberately did not bother with Bai Lang's cover-up methods after his investigation. Now it sounds like there's something else going on. Combined with the "people behind the scenes" mentioned by Feng Mingyuan just now, Zhou Zhonghao suddenly understood.
"Sir, are you saying that the cover-up methods on Bailang's body were imposed on him by others?!"
"Yes! That's the only way it makes sense! Bailang doesn't know how to solve it, and at the same time he can cover it up so thoroughly that even though I'm a level higher than his cultivation level, I still can't see any flaws. This in itself is It's enough to support my guess.
There is someone behind Bailang whose cultivation level may even be higher than mine. And his practice inheritance should come from this. "
"Is it higher than your cultivation level?"
"Yeah. There aren't many casual cultivators who are higher than me, and most of them can't escape the world. This is also in line with Bailang's situation."
"I understand, my lord, are you trying to buy some face for the legacy behind Bailang?"
"That's right. Although most of the casual cultivators are like insects, some of them can still be used. Anyway, no serious man in the family would be willing to pick up a place like the Sword Hall that hides evil and evil. All the ones who come are people like Tang Yan. It would be nice to let Bailang play around with such a scumbag.
Moreover, Dongcheng Knife Museum now manages the industrial park by Changshui, and Bailang is the initiator of the industrial park. He can also control the continuity of the bottom layer of the industrial park there, so that nothing will happen after the replacement. "
After a pause, Feng Mingyuan continued to order: "You will go to the Dongcheng Knife Hall in person later and blame the deaths of Tang Yan and Chen Zhiyun on the heads of the people in Yuzhong. Then put a high hat on Bai Lang and help him. He has a ride.
In addition, he will be given a small Peiyuan Pill from the inner palace as a reward for his promotion. As for the spirit stones, Tang Yan should have some left in his hands, and he will be able to distribute them in the future. It is difficult to give too much now. Let’s first look at his performance after being in the Knife Hall. "
"My subordinate will do it right away."
Nodding, Zhou Zhonghao hurriedly left the garden, while Feng Mingyuan continued to drink tea, admire the flowers, and deal with some official documents sent from time to time. During this period, he had simple things to do and was naturally in a good mood. Even what happened to Bailang just now was not a big deal in his opinion. It's just a personnel change in a knife shop.
Although Feng Mingyuan would not express the theory of chamber pot vulgarly, he actually treated it that way. What is the difference between the words "harvesting filth and people's evil practices" and "chamber pot" in his words?
Compared with the calmness and understatement here at the City Lord's Mansion, it can be called a storm over there at Ma Sheng Alley.
When the Qi Refiner guards in the city lord's palace broke into the Ma Sheng Alley with a token and entered the courtyard secret room of Zuodao Retreat. The several red knives who came over were surprised and at the same time they were also very angry. But when they were allowed to "enter to assist in the investigation," the moment they stepped into the secret room, these red swordsmen felt as if their hearts had skipped several beats.
"Master Chen with the sword"
There was blood all over the ground, as well as two human heads that rolled to the ground randomly but were wiped by the city lord's guard who came a step ahead to reveal their faces. This scene has never appeared in the dreams of several of the swordsmen present.
"Check it out, do you know who it is?"
"It's Zuodao and Chen Zhiyun."
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion finally verified the identity of the two corpses, and then began to simply collect the two corpses, and at the same time explore the corpses for any other objects or messages.
At the same time, several other guards easily found clues on the surrounding stone walls. They were all brand-new stone slabs. After prying them open, there was another layer below, and the densely engraved patterns on the next layer were all patterns of magic circles. Although the guards present could not identify these lines, they could still determine which direction these lines belonged to. Just like the magic circle is divided into categories such as defense, psychedelic, trapping, or trap.
It appears that the information is basically the same as what the guards were told before they arrived.
Immediately afterwards, the news spread without any special restrictions.
The sword is dead! Mr. Chen is dead!
Although everyone's first reaction was "impossible", their rationality told them that no one dared to spread this kind of thing in Ma Sheng Alley. Now the rumors must not be false, and the brigade of City Lord's Mansion guards just came over to update the news. It increases the reliability of the message.
Then new doubts emerged in everyone's mind: Who killed him?
The whereabouts of Chen Zhiyun and Tang Yan were no secret in Ma Sheng Alley, and they were quickly discovered by the red knives from all walks of life who gathered like ants on a hot pot.
"You guys are saying that Bai Lang and Master Chen entered the secret room together today. In the end, Bai Lang left alone not long ago, and told you that the sword is in retreat and that Master Chen is protecting the law, so that you can't disturb him?"
The two backyard guards who were dragged over also nodded sharply in response with blue faces.
"Okay, let me keep these words in my stomach, do you understand? Don't say it to anyone who asks you again, otherwise your life will be at risk!"
After waving his hands to dismiss the two guards, a group of red knives gathered together in silence, but most of them were looking at Liu Xu, who was sitting at the top.
"Master Liu, Bailang is yours, why don't you give me an explanation?"
"Haha, what a joke, what explanation should I give? The people from the City Lord's Mansion are here, and Bai Lang has also gone to the City Lord's Mansion. Those who should give an explanation will naturally come. What are you in a hurry? Or do you think you have the ability to give an explanation yourself?"
