Text Chapter 41 Ground Steps
"Ask and kill!" Ye Lingyu's head was stunned for a while when he heard these two words, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was distorted.
He had a premonition that the situation would not be optimistic, but he did not expect it to be so bad.
It stands to reason that if the prince has an accident in Aoxue City, the city lord will naturally be implicated, but it will not be to the extent of being beheaded.
Meng Xue's expression next to her was not very natural, she didn't have any friendship with the city lord, but when she was in the ring, Mo Fei also sacrificed her life to help her. Although Mengxue has a cold temperament, she is not an ungrateful person.
Meng Xue set her eyes on Ye Lingyu, speaking of which, the Mo Fei family would become like this, and it was also implicated by Ye Lingyu. Meng Xue was afraid that Ye Lingyu would be angry for a while and do something stupid.
She tugged on the corner of Ye Lingyu from behind, and pulled it several times, but Ye Lingyu didn't react. The only thing that could be seen was that Ye Lingyu's hand on the guard's throat was slowly tightening, and Sen Ran's murderous aura slowly emanated from him.
The guard's face was pale, and he couldn't see any blood. He only felt an iron tong pinching his throat, and he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't even make a sound. He struggled to break Ye Lingyu's fingers, but that hand didn't move at all.
"Calm down. Seeing him like this, Meng Xue had to remind him loudly.
It seemed that because of this voice, Ye Lingyu was full of excitement, and his tightened hand suddenly relaxed.
The guard gasped and sat on his knees, blood flowing back from Tie Qing's face, surging a layer of crimson. He coughed violently, and a cloud of water could be seen spreading out of his crotch.
The murderous aura on Ye Lingyu's body made even Meng Xue feel palpitating, let alone this little guard.
"Tell me everything you know. Ye Lingyu stared at the guard's eyes and said sharply.
When the guards heard the shouting, their legs trembled with fright. In front of him, there was a Yellow Rank Peak, a Yellow Rank Seventh Layer, anyone could pinch him to death with one hand, where did he dare to hesitate, and hurriedly replied: "I...... I don't know much, but a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince released news to the whole city, saying that the city lord had committed an affair with a thief and wanted to be beheaded in front of the city lord's mansion to show the public. ”
"Who are the people who are being killed?" Ye Lingyu then asked.
"That's it...... It's the city lord's family. The guards' voices trembled.
"Murphy is among them?"
"I don't know. The guard hurriedly replied, "I heard the news from the city lord's family, and I want to come...... Few...... The young city lord is also among them. ”
Ye Lingyu's pupils shrank slightly, Mo Fei had been away from Ao Xue Peak for several days, if he really returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he should have fallen into An Junfeng's hands. But what Ye Lingyu couldn't figure out was how Mo Fei's identity was exposed, he changed his appearance with a hundred faces when he was in the ring, and it stands to reason that no one should recognize him.
But now is not the time to think about this, if Mo Fei is really caught, Ye Lingyu will naturally not be able to stand by and watch. Murphy was able to sacrifice his life to help him at a critical moment, even if it was a friend of life and death.
While she was pondering, Meng Xue's slender hand gently patted Ye Lingyu's shoulder.
"Don't you think there's anything strange about this? Mengxue asked in a low voice.
Ye Lingyu exhaled a long breath, then nodded.
Although he was angry, he was not to the point of losing his mind, and he could still smell some of these subtle things.
An Junfeng announced to the whole city that he would execute Mo Fei's family, and at this time, he asked many guards to search under Ao Xue Peak, no doubt to spread the news, or rather, An Junfeng's intention was to convey the news to Ye Lingyu and others.
Meng Xue's voice was cold: "The city lord's family is just a bait, his real purpose is to lure you and me out." ”
Ye Lingyu gritted his teeth, his fists were clenched tightly, and he could faintly hear the crackling sound of his knuckles.
He grabbed the guard's collar: "Say, the specific time of the execution, the people arranged, and tell me everything you know." ”
The guard knocked his upper teeth against his lower teeth, and said tremblingly: "The time is tomorrow at noon, and the manpower is ...... In terms of manpower, as far as I know, there are about twenty Yellow Rank guards, and in addition, there are two Xuan Rank masters in charge. ”
Two! Ye Lingyu was shocked. Before, Wei Zhong alone beat them to death, and on the way to execution, two Xuan Rank were actually sent, how can this be good.
"Then when the execution is carried out, An Junfeng will also be there?" Ye Lingyu asked again.
"I don't know......" the guard replied quickly.
Ye Lingyu frowned, thinking about it, after all, this guard's status is too low, and his knowledge is probably limited.
The guards were just a channel used by An Junfeng to spread the news, so naturally it was impossible for them to know too much.
Thinking about it this way, Ye Lingyu also felt helpless. After some torture, he found that the guard really didn't know more things, so he snapped out a wisp of black flame, hitting the guard's eyebrows, and the black flame burned the guard into a cloud of black ash in an instant. Since he is An Junfeng's lackey, Ye Lingyu naturally doesn't need to show mercy to him.
"What are you going to do next?" Meng Xue asked, looking at the charred ground, frowning slightly.
"Let's take it one step at a time, I don't have a good way. Ye Lingyu turned his back to her, and his gloomy gaze fell outside the prohibition, "The matter has come to this, even if you take risks, you have to try it...... Also, to save people tomorrow, I'll just go alone, you stay. ”
"What? Think I'm going to hold you back?"
"That's not ......" Ye Lingyu paused, "I just think that since An Junfeng has laid this trap, the danger in this is probably not as simple as it seems." ”
......
At the same time, above the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
An Junfeng shook the folding fan lightly, and below him, four Xuan-rank martial artists were on standby.
"You all know my arrangements, tomorrow at noon, the four of you, two in the light, two in the dark, if anyone is caught, be sure to take them all for me. An Junfeng looked calm, and gave instructions to the four Xuanjie masters, quite instructive.
"Yes. All four responded respectfully.
An Junfeng waved his hand and sent the four away.
As soon as the four of them left, an extra figure immediately appeared behind An Junfeng, and the figure appeared like a ghost, silently.
An Junfeng seemed to be aware of his appearance: "Mr. Liu, do you think my arrangement is appropriate?"
The middle-aged man arched his hand: "The prince lures the snake out of the hole with one move, even if he can't hook the snow girl and the thief, he can hook the son of Mo Wenwu, no matter who takes the bait, he can follow the vine and touch the melon, and kill it all, the old man sighs to himself." ”
"Liu Xingchen, Liu Xingchen, when I call you Mr. Liu, I regard you as my confidant. There is such a thing as sycophancy, if someone else pats it, you don't need it. An Junfeng said a little seriously.
"Yes. Liu Xingchen hurriedly moved.
"I'd rather hear what you really think than I do on the back. ”
"This ......" Liu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and straightened his face, "Since it is the prince's request, I will dare to speak, it is naturally good to lead the snake out of the hole, but it is just ......"
"Just what?"
"Using the Mo Wenwu family as bait, the old man felt that something was wrong. Liu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "After all, Mo Wenwu is the lord of a city, and he still has some prestige in Aoxue City, and if he acts rashly, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction." ”
Hearing Liu Xingchen say this, An Junfeng just smiled faintly: "I thought you were going to say something, what if a group of untouchables were dissatisfied, untouchables were just untouchables after all." But then again, there has been no gain from sending guards in the past few days, not only is there no trace of the thief and the Snow Maiden, but even Mo Wenwu's son Mo Fei has no news, this is not the result I want to see. ”
When Liu Xingchen heard this, he could only sigh slightly. Since the crown prince has made a decision, it is not something he can persuade. Although An Junfeng has always been polite to him, he may not listen to his opinion on some important matters. People who are in the position of power are inevitably arrogant, which is most obvious in An Junfeng.
And at this moment, the space in front of him was distorted, and a jade slip appeared in the air.
Liu Xingchen took a step forward, grabbed the jade slip, and swept his mind on it, his face changed slightly.
He turned his hand and handed the jade slip to An Junfeng: "Prince Qijuan, I just got a message that someone is missing among the guards who are exploring Ao Xue Peak. ”
An Junfeng took it, curled the corners of his mouth, and his face showed a hint of cunning: "Finally, there is a fish bite, and it is not in vain for me to arrange." ”
"Prince, I still think it's ......"
"Enough. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, An Junfeng shouted to stop him, he gathered the folding fan in his hand and leaned into Liu Xingchen's ear, "Mr. Liu, do you know why no one dares to offend me in this huge Heavenly Saint Empire? Because of my identity? Or because of the lackeys around me?"
Liu Xingchen was shocked, and immediately realized that he had talked a little too much just now, some things he could say, and some things he couldn't say more, and if he said too much, he was suspected of trespassing. Cold sweat slowly oozed from the corners of his forehead: "I don't know how old I am." ”
"Because...... The people who offended me are dead!" An Junfeng cracked the corners of his mouth and made a hoarse voice, "The people who offended me are all sleeping in the ground, so who else in this world dares to be disrespectful to me!"
Like a poisonous snake showing its fangs, An Junfeng's hideous color is undoubtedly displayed: "A mere nobody, with him dare to be a hero in front of me?" and that snow girl, a cheap woman, when I capture her and let her beg for mercy in front of me, I think it will have a special flavor." ”
Liu Xingchen listened to the sound of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter in his ears, so he could only bow his head slightly, not daring to say more.
And at this moment, An Junfeng suddenly slapped something into his arms.
Liu Xingchen was startled, and hurriedly looked into his arms, only to see a cone-shaped object the size of a palm in his arms, with a dark golden light flowing on it.
"This ...... This is the Forbidden Cone!"
An Junfeng smiled faintly: "Mr. Liu is worthy of being a master of the ground level, and his vision is really good." ”
"The prince laughed, it is rumored that breaking the forbidden cone can break all the prohibitions in the world, how could I not have heard of such a big name. Liu Xingchen looked at the golden cone in his hand and paused, "I don't know what the prince ...... to give me such a valuable spiritual weapon."
Treasures like the Forbidden Cone were blushing even for a ground-level master like Liu Xingchen, but he also knew in his heart that things could not be given to him for free, and since they were handed over to him, there must be something to do.
"Didn't you say some time ago that even you can't break the ban of Ao Xue Peak? I want to know, if you add this forbidden cone, can you be sure?"
"That prohibition must be issued by a master, and if you act rashly, I'm afraid it will ......"
"I just want to ask, are you sure. An Junfeng accentuated his tone.
"If you add this spiritual artifact to assist, you are eighty percent sure. Liu Xingchen said hesitantly.
An Junfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bleak brilliance flashed in his eyes: "That's good...... With you, the earth level, personally taking action, plus this forbidden cone, this time I want to let them, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the earth. ”
