Bai Lang even somewhat forgot about everything that happened during the period when he met the female ghost Lingyu. Although it was very important, it was not suitable to mention it to others, so he slowly buried it deeply.
Nowadays, the situation in the Hong Dynasty is chaotic, and the threat of military disaster has been burning before our eyes like a raging fire. Daomen Village, which is the retreat behind, has just taken a step forward.
But just when the turmoil continued, the past events deep in the memory were unexpectedly disturbed and came to mind, and Bailang was told a not-so-good fact: In this field, there are still people who are holding on to the female ghost Lingyu and don't want to let go. He has already caught up to him, confirming all his previous worries and speculations.
Bailang had hesitated before whether to kill Ma Liu or not. In the end, he hesitated and gave Ma Liu a chance to run away. After all, smart people can settle life-and-death accounts very quickly.
Later, Ma Liu ran away and disappeared, and Bailang didn't look for it. He paid attention to the movements of the City Lord's Mansion for a while, but later found that no one seemed to care about the matter. What's more, the Yunyan invasion from the south later, and under such a general situation, the matter of mere female ghosts was naturally not on the agenda, and Bailang gradually let go of his worries.
"Li Youjun? So when the Huangmen Yun Sect sent people to investigate Shen Hong's murder case, he was the one who carried out the attack among the two people who came to Yongchuan City?
Is it the Emperor Yunzong who keeps holding on to him? Or is this Li Youjun trying to achieve meritorious service, so he is holding on to it? "
Bai Lang had been thinking about this issue from the moment he got on the carriage to the time he returned to the small courtyard in Ma Sheng Lane.
There seems to be no difference between these problems. In essence, they are both troubles. However, there is a huge difference between the former and the latter for Bailang. To put it simply, in the former, Bailang can only run away in advance, while in the latter, Bailang can try and think of ways to resolve the situation.
Because they face different opponents. One is facing the entire Imperial Sect Yunzong; the other is facing Li Youjun alone, and at most one of the elders of Li Youjun's sect named Zeng who came to Yongchuan City.
So who exactly is the person who wants to hold on to this matter? This is the first thing Bailang needs to figure out.
The second is how to deal with it.
First of all, Bailang felt that Li Youjun did not put anything related to the female ghost Lingyu on him. Otherwise, there wouldn't be anything like today's wandering around the city. Rather than deliberately alerting others, secret observation is actually more useful in digging out information.
What's more, if he really suspected Bai Lang, Li Youjun could directly attack Bai Lang in the military camp today. There were so many qi practitioners in the camp at that time, many of whom were better than him, so the possibility of Bai Lang running away was not high.
Therefore, Bailang could think of two general ways to deal with it. One is to run away, go to Daomen Village or find another place. Even using the Funiu Mountain bandits' line to cross the border to the Ming Dynasty next door would be a way.
The second is to find ways to resolve it. Guide the clues away from you, or cut them off. In the end, no matter what happens, the person who discovered the clues can be silenced.
The reason why Bailang still has a choice now, so he shouldn't panic too much, is because Bailang is now much stronger than he was when he embarked on the path of cultivation under the guidance of the female ghost Lingyu.
He is in the middle stage of Xuanmai Realm, and he is also a martial arts practitioner. In terms of combat ability, Bai Lang feels that he is worthy of anyone in the same realm, whether he is a casual cultivator or a sect like Imperial Sect Yun Sect. With this level of cultivation, facing a qi practitioner in the early stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm like Li Youjun, he was confident that he could kill the opponent by surprise.
However, there is no need to rush into this. Bailang boasts that he left very few traces in his contact with the female ghost Lingyu, and most of them have dissipated over time. The only person who can be regarded as a handle is Ma Liu, who has disappeared. Even if Ma Liu is still alive, it will be extremely difficult to find him in this chaotic time.
"There is still time. There is still room for maneuver." Bailang finally had a plan in his mind to deal with it.
Don't move in a hurry, otherwise you will feel embarrassed and scared, which is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. At the same time, we must continue to make good use of our time, and make improving the power in our hands the first priority. Not only the strength of an individual, but also the strength of his subordinates. The stronger these strengths, the more room Bailang has to maneuver. This is especially true in the current chaotic situation of the Hong Dynasty.
"Zu Dao, there is news about Wang Lin's return."
Zhang Wu knocked on the door from outside. He is now guarding the dock. He is often involved in black market-related businesses. Wang Lin's special identity will not be easily associated with Bailang. If the message is urgent, Zhang Wu will do it for him. .
"Say." Bai Lang was in a bad mood today, and was a little irritable thinking about Li Youjun's affairs in his mind.
"Tao Dao, Wang Lin sent news from Fei Yu, saying that Wan Dongnan from Shuangqing City also wants to join the gang, and begs us to protect his family from entering Daomen Village. For this, he is willing to offer a secret passage to the spirit stone."
"Secret passage? What do you mean?"
"Zu Dao, Wan Dongnan told Wang Lin that the mining at Shuangqingcheng Mine was too aggressive in the early years and often led to landslides. The mine tunnels were often abandoned without mentioning the dead, so they could only open new mine tunnels. .During this process, some natural rock cracks are sometimes dug. One of the ground cracks that can lead directly from the rich ore area in the vein to the outside of the mine was discovered in this way.
So as long as you follow this secret passage, you can enter the mine beyond everyone's sight and directly grab the spiritual stones in the mine. "
After hearing this, Bai Lang subconsciously sat up straight, and the previous irritability was gone.
A secret passage in the Lingshi Mine? ! The value of this news is absolutely terrifying. No wonder Wang Lin couldn't wait and used Fei Yu to pass the ball back before he came back.
After thinking about it, Bai Lang asked, "Did Wan Dongnan say why he was willing to pay such a high price?"
"Speaking of it, on the one hand, he wanted a reliable way to avoid disaster. Shuangqing City is also on the south bank, and the mine is also on the south bank, and he could not avoid the military disaster. On the other hand, he wanted to take revenge on Wang Rui, the manager of the mine. "
"Huh? Have a grudge?"
"Yes, it was said that Wang Rui originally arranged for Wan Dongnan and his family to go to Beining to avoid trouble. But in the end, Wan Dongnan found that the other party did not take advantage of his hard work, but secretly took advantage of him when he was not at home. He slept with his concubine and plotted against his eldest daughter, planning to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Beining to avoid trouble.
Wan Dongnan became angry when he noticed this, and was ready to find a way out, and wanted to find an opportunity to kill Wang Rui. "
Bailang smiled knowingly when he heard this. This kind of talk can always be heard in the houses of housekeepers or merchants in Hong Chaoli. It seems that the trend is such that those who claim to have status prefer the wives and daughters of their subordinates to the women sold in flower houses or teeth. This is an unusual hobby.
It's okay if you meet a green-haired turtle, but if you meet a resolute one, there's less of a fight. Normally, most of them would be suppressed. After all, this kind of thing is considered "romantic" in the Hong Dynasty and will not be punished. The yamen only fines a small amount of money, not the kind of punishment.
But these are not normal times. That manager named Wang Rui dared to do this. No wonder Wan Dongnan rebelled.
Bai Lang nodded and said: "Reply to Wang Lin and tell him that Wan Dongnan's request can be agreed to and let him go and see the secret passage first. After seeing it, we can arrange for Wan Dongnan's primary school boy to come over first." By the way, I’d like to ask if he has any Qi practitioners he can trust and use, and I can bring them over as well.”
