Although the young master's words did make sense, they were still a little worried. After all, two groups of people have come out now. What if the city lord is among those two groups of people?
If they really let the city lord escape, then what's the point of guarding the empty city lord's mansion now?
"Don't worry, the city lord must still be in the mansion, you will know soon!" Cheng Yu said with certainty.
"Master, how are you sure? If the Lord of Hongtian City also knows that you will definitely think so, so the two groups of people before were just flaws deliberately exposed by him, and he was mixed in with the purpose of letting others know. Are you careless?" Elder Fan looked at Cheng Yu and said.
"Of course I have my own way of knowing whether the city lord is still in the house. Have you forgotten what happened on Fairy Mirror Mountain?" Cheng Yu reminded him specifically.
In fact, it is very simple. As long as there is a plant or tree in the city lord's palace, it is Cheng Yu's eyes, so what he said before is just an excuse.
The most important thing is that he has the ability of Mu Kong Mirror. As long as he has this ability, how can the tricks of Hongtian City Lord be caught by his eyes?
So let alone how many tricks Hongtian City Lord will use, no matter how he uses his tricks, Cheng Yu can accurately know when he will leave the house!
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, everyone also recalled what happened on Immortal Mirror Mountain and reacted immediately.
"I almost forgot, the young master has the ability of divination and prediction. If you say so, the Lord of Hongtian City is really in the mansion!" Elder Feng suddenly realized and smiled.
They were like this at the beginning. After the young master said that someone was coming up from the southeast mountain, they didn't believe it at first. It wasn't until they later found out that someone was coming up from the mountain that they really believed it.
Later, the young master made several predictions, and the results were exactly the same as what he said, so everyone has accepted this fact.
But now they have almost forgotten the young master's ability. After his reminder, they no longer dare to doubt the young master.
Because they have already verified the young master's ability, and the results have never been missed, they believe that there will be no mistakes this time.
And the difference is that now that they know the young master's ability, they are even more looking forward to the appearance of Hongtian City Lord based on the young master's prediction.
Because the Lord of Hongtian City does not know all this, in his heart, he is probably still proud of his perfect plan.
Therefore, when he knew that all this was actually what they expected, the scene would definitely be exciting.
"Master, when will he come out?" Elder Feng asked curiously.
Waiting is a kind of suffering. Since the young master can calculate it, he won't have to suffer so much if he tells him the result directly.
"Why are you anxious? I will tell you when he comes out!" Cheng Yu said calmly.
He is not really good at divination and prediction. He only relies on the vegetation in the city lord's palace to act as eyes for him. Now that the city lord Hongtian is still in the city lord's palace and cannot come out, how does he know when he will come out?
However, he would not tell these people that he actually did not know how to divination.
"I hate waiting so fruitlessly!" Elder Feng said.
"Don't worry, there will be results soon. No matter what, he will definitely leave the City Lord's Mansion before dark!" Cheng Yu said.
"Why is this?" Elder Yun asked.
"Because there are many people during the day, if a few people come out of the City Lord's Mansion, no one will pay attention, and it will look more normal.
But at night, he knew that we would always have people watching. At that time, even if a random person comes out of the house, we will probably follow him.
Moreover, he had already designed two traps earlier. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot and had to wait until night, then these two traps would be useless. "Cheng Yu explained.
"That's true. It's getting late now, so he should be out soon!" Elder Fan nodded.
Everyone waited patiently in the attic again.
Almost half an hour later, someone else came out of the city lord's mansion.
"Master, there are more than a dozen of them? And they have gone in different directions now. Which one is the Lord of Hongtian City?" Elder Yun asked in confusion as he looked at the people separated from the City Lord's Mansion.
Being so far apart, and with everyone still wearing servants' clothes, he really couldn't tell which one was the Lord of Hongtian City.
This time Cheng Yu was not careless, but stared closely at everyone who came out of the city lord's mansion.
"Did you see that? It's the middle one among the three people heading towards the east gate on the right side of the gate." Cheng Yu looked at it for a while and pointed to several people.
"Then are we going to follow him now?" Elder Feng couldn't wait to catch up.
"Let's go together!" Cheng Yu said and went downstairs directly.
Now that the real owner has appeared, there is no need for him to stay here anymore.
I have to say that this Hongtian City Lord is indeed cunning enough. It is not a big deal for more than a dozen people to come out of the City Lord's Mansion at once, so it is not easy to attract too many people's attention.
Moreover, these people were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary servants. When everyone left the house, they left one by two in different directions, which made it easier to confuse others.
To be honest, if it weren't for Cheng Yu's ability to use the Wooden Sky Mirror to clearly see the situation in the City Lord's Mansion using vegetation, even he wouldn't be able to tell the truth from the fake among these dozen people.
However, what they didn't expect was that just after the three people left the city through the east gate, the east gate was closed at this time.
As a result, Cheng Yu and the others were trapped in the city.
"What's going on? Isn't it time to close the city gate yet?" The sudden closing of the city gate stopped not only Cheng Yu and the others, but also all the people who wanted to go in and out.
Hongyu City will be closed every time it comes to Youshi, but now it is Shenshi, and it has not yet half-closed the city gates. There are still many people outside and inside the city who want to enter and exit the city gates. How can everyone not make trouble? ?
"Yes! Open the door quickly, we have to leave the city and go home quickly?" Many people started making a fuss in the city.
"Shut up, everyone. Something important happened today, so all the gates in the city have been closed in advance. Those who want to leave the city should wait until tomorrow morning!" the city guard general shouted loudly.
"Master, what should we do? They actually closed the city gate at this time. We're afraid we won't be able to catch up with them!" Seeing this situation, several people became anxious.
No one thought that the city gate would be closed at this time, which was a big deal for them.
"Master, I think this is another trap set up by the Lord of Hongtian City. Otherwise, it would never be such a coincidence. The city gate was closed just after they left the city!" Elder Yang speculated.
"You're right, this is indeed his plan!" Cheng Yu nodded.
"This Lord of Hongtian City is really cunning. It seems that he is much smarter than we thought. What should we do now?" Elder Fan was also a little anxious.
Judging from Cheng Yu's current ability, as long as the three of them are within fifty miles, he can completely grasp their traces. There is no need to worry so much about them escaping.
Moreover, with the cultivation of Lord Hongtian, they would be easily discovered if they followed too close.
So they deliberately didn't follow too closely, but they didn't expect that Hongtian City Lord would do this.
This immediately separated them. If the Lord of Hongtian City left too far away, even Cheng Yu would have a hard time finding them again.
"Those three people can't run away yet, but we have to leave the city no matter what. If that doesn't work, we will have to force our way in!" Cheng Yu thought for a while and said.
For now, it is impossible for Hongtian City Lord to escape from his control. But he had to hurry up. If they didn't leave the city, the distance of fifty miles was not that far. With the speed of Hongtian City Lord and the others, they would probably escape without a trace soon.
"In this case, we can only force them to open the door!" Elder Feng was anxious. This was not the solution. He just wanted to leave the city as soon as possible.
"Go ahead, I won't stop you this time." Cheng Yu nodded and said.
Hongtian City Lord and the others are very important. At such a critical time, they really cannot be allowed to escape.
"Okay, it will be easier if the young master says this!" Elder Feng got the order and rushed forward.
"Open the door now, or I will go on a killing spree!" Elder Feng stepped forward and grabbed the guard.
"You...who are you?" The guard felt that his body was out of control, and he looked at the person in front of him with a look of horror.
"If you don't open the door now, then I will kill you!" Elder Feng said coldly.
"This is the city lord's order, you can't open it now!" The guard said bravely.
"Since you don't want to open it, I have to open it myself!" Elder Feng slapped the guard to death on the spot, scaring the other guards to the point where their legs weakened.
"Can you open it?" Elder Feng said looking at the remaining guards.
"Open! Let's open now!" Even their guard was killed so easily, how dare they not open?
"Master, are we too far away? Will we be lost?" Elder Feng asked anxiously after leaving the city.
"Don't worry, everything is under my control. It's good like this now. Let them always lead the way for us!" Cheng Yu said reassuringly.
"Master, are you really sure that one of those three people is the Lord of Hongtian City?" Elder Xu said with great confusion.
Although the young master said that he had the power of divination, he still felt a little weak in his heart.
So many people came out at that time that he could not distinguish them at all. Moreover, City Lord Hongtian deliberately set up such a situation. Wave after wave of people came out of the City Lord's Mansion, and he was always worried that they had found the wrong person.
