It's not that Wang Lang doesn't want to take away the strange stone.
But being tricked three times made him fully understand Lao Liu's intention.
If I don’t take away the strange stone, you can’t either.
Find a place to put the things. We both know where they are, but no one is allowed to move.
You, Wang Lang, will report to Xu Mingyang first. If he gets angry and wants to deal with you, then you can come back and discuss what to do with the strange stone.
If Xu Mingyang just asked someone to check the whereabouts of the strange stone, then let him check it.
If it is found that the stone is in the mountain, someone else put it there and it has nothing to do with Wang Lang.
If Xu Mingyang didn't pursue the matter and didn't doubt Wang Lang's loyalty, then the two of them would be ignorant of this strange stone.
At that time, the stones will be placed here. Whoever needs them can take them away and use them. When they are finished, they will put them back.
In short, let's eat the cake together, take the risks together, plan before taking action, go back empty-handed first to try Xu Mingyang's attitude.
And Ma Liu's painstaking efforts also made Wang Lang understand that the people who dealt with him three times in a row far surpassed him in terms of intelligence and strength.
If he continues to insist on his own way, insists on presenting the strange stone to Xu Mingyang, and knocking the person down for the fourth time, then he will not only be buried alive.
Buried directly, with wolf corpses filled in the soil.
Watching Wang Lang leave, Ma Liu let out a sigh of relief.
"This kid finally has his wits about him."
…
It is said that Wang Lang returned to Xu Mansion.
He was immediately summoned by Xu Mingyang.
There is a huge screen in the study, which blocks the visitors' sight. Only a thin figure can be vaguely seen sitting behind the screen, holding a book and reading.
"The king wolf bows to the Lord."
"Get up. Did you bring the strange stone back?"
"My subordinate was incompetent and was beaten. His whole body was robbed and nothing was left."
"oh?"
Xu Mingyang was a little surprised.
Wang Lang's caution and agility are well-known throughout the Xu Mansion. Wolf's cunning is not comparable to ordinary people, and even five thousand guests can't match it.
Such a comparison naturally makes him, the wolf demon, stand out, making it difficult for him not to be reused.
Xu Mingyang has no shortage of experts, but also loyal and thoughtful subordinates.
He never had to worry about Wang Lang's work. The two of them were like Qianlong and He Shen. Wang Lang could always accurately understand the superior's intentions and complete the tasks assigned by the leader to perfection.
There were only one or two unfavorable starts, and that was because the enemy was too strong and could be absolutely crushed, beyond Wang Lang's ability.
Xu Mingyang thought the same way and asked gently:
"The other party is very strong?"
"I don't know."
Wang Lang explained aggrievedly:
"Di Kuixing Escort Master Lin disobeyed his subordinates, insulted him, was greedy, and had no affection for his brothers. His subordinates couldn't stand it, so they had to kill him to establish his authority. However, when he did so, a gust of wind blew from behind. The next moment I felt my eyes were spinning, I fainted and fell to the ground, and when I woke up I had been stripped naked.”
"Being able to knock you down without knowing it means that the other party is far stronger than you. I can't blame you for this."
Xu Mingyang didn't ask any more questions, and his attitude was calm from beginning to end.
"You go down first, I will let others handle this matter."
"Thank you Lord for your mercy."
Wang Lang kowtowed vigorously, lowered his head and walked backwards out the door.
The study fell into silence. After a while, Xu Mingyang asked the air:
"Is what this guy just said true or false?"
"Mixed truth and falsehood."
A black shadow melted into the air, and an ethereal voice seemed to come from outside:
"The red-blooded stone can break through the shielding ability only at the five realms and above. If this wolf is not tempted, then he will truly become a saint with no desires or demands."
After a pause, Black Shadow analyzed:
"If someone else had lost the strange stone, it might have been due to stupidity, but if Wang Lang lost the strange stone, he must have deliberately let loose."
Xu Mingyang was surprised:
"How can I see it?"
Black Shadow said:
"My spirit demon clan specializes in spiritual secrets. We can summon ghosts and gods, sense all things, and are extremely sensitive to the mental fluctuations of others. This king wolf seems to be suffering from schizophrenia. There are often two people talking in his mind, one is his own soul, The other one has a frighteningly high mental concentration, but is extremely weak. He should be an old monster above the Five Realms, with an immortal soul parasitic in his mind."
"No wonder you asked me to support him."
Xu Mingyang thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Wolves are greedy and must be on guard. This time you go out personally and keep an eye on him to see who he comes in contact with and what he does. If there is no betrayal, spare his life for the time being. If he has second thoughts, Search for the soul, destroy the old monster with residual soul, and retrieve the red blood stone."
"Here."
A black shadow appeared from the air. It was short in stature, had a huge head, and had only one vertical eye on its entire face. It looked extremely weird.
…
Bailong Mountain.
Ma Liu hid his figure, meditated, and waited quietly.
I want to see if Wang Lang will take away the strange stone.
When he has nothing to do, Lao Liu loves to "think about myself three times a day" and learn from the saints to cultivate his mind.
Recalling all the details of the past few days, he suddenly realized that Wang Lang had the element of "deliberate acting".
When the misty smoke blew, he pretended to faint and took advantage of the situation.
I knocked him down three times, so how could it be that he let him off on purpose and took advantage of his plan?
This guy was originally interested in possessing the strange stone. Now that someone appeared and gave him enough reasons and motivations, he naturally followed the trend. After testing each other, they reached a tacit understanding and worked together to steal the strange stone.
"It's very possible that my true identity has been exposed. Otherwise, with the cunningness of this wolf, how could he be willing to put the strange stone here and not be afraid that I would take it away?"
Ma Liu has a snake's sense of smell, but don't forget that he also has a wolf's nose.
Lao Liu's dozen kinds of breath-condensing techniques and talents can only make his blood calm, his heartbeat still, and he can't breathe.
But his own smell, even if he is sprayed with potion, rouge powder, or pepper spray, is useless against a dog's nose that can distinguish more than two million kinds of smells. Wang Lang can definitely smell him accurately.
Ma Liu had met Wang Lang before as a pickpocket.
Nowadays, even if he changes his appearance and body shape, his unique human aura cannot be concealed from the outside world.
"If you see monsters like wolves, dogs, and snakes in the future, you must not be careless."
His identity was exposed, but Ma Liu was sure that Wang Lang would not give him away.
Without him, he was knocked down three times, but he was really knocked down. He shot silver needles and sprinkled poisonous powder, all of which left the means in the king wolf's body. As long as the little wolf cub didn't want to die, he would definitely not act recklessly.
…
Three days passed in a hurry.
Wang Lang didn't come to take the strange stone, and Ma Liu gradually felt relieved.
He did not return to the capital. Taking advantage of this trip, he had to dig out many treasures left behind by the demons after their death to enrich his own heritage.
He also had to complete some of the demon's regrets, so as to reduce the resentment around him and avoid growing red hair on his body.
Until this day.
When Lei Peng saw that Lao Liu had not returned to the Piping Department for a long time, he asked the black-armored warrior to call for someone. When he learned that this guy had gone away, he became very angry.
If a pickpocket no longer wants to work, it is allowed to not go back to work after the holidays, but it is not allowed for Lei Peng to change Ma Liu.
He has put a lot of effort into this boy. For ten years, he has helped him greedy the demon's organs and made him fat. How can he let him go?
He was determined to eat the sixth one for the rest of his life.
Unable to find anyone, Lei Peng went to the bookstore in person and kidnapped Zhang Aotian into the leather shop...
