Chapter 48 Distinction
After teaching Mo Qing, who was open-mouthed, the little demon fox asked Mu Tong unwillingly: "So, you relied on the impossible to try out the flaws in my illusion?"
Mu Tong shook her head slightly and corrected her thoughts.
"Little one, you're wrong. The key to breaking the illusion is not me, but you. The whole illusion is controlled by you, and I just made it out of nothing. If you think that what I have born does not exist, then I will fail to create something out of nothing, and if you think it is true, it will be true. But I know it's fake, so I know it's true at a glance. Illusion is all about the real and the fake. The more real it is, the more deceptive it is. If you yourself feel that your illusion is real, and it is perfectly manifested according to the reality, then how can outsiders crack it? After all, for you, the illusion you have constructed is real, but you have moved the place in reality to where you are, so how can that person distinguish the real illusion in the real environment?"
The little demon fox who was made big by Mu Tong's theory of truth and falsehood could only reluctantly keep this set of theories in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to try again one day.
In this way, the group finally saw the black dragon city when the sky was dark.
"Alright, little thing. Let's separate here. You follow this side of the river upstream, towards the east, and within three miles you will see a wooden bridge, and on the opposite side of the wooden bridge is the Mysterious Beast Forest. You are a mysterious beast, and you can't be mistaken about the taste of mysterious beasts. You'll be safe when you get there. Of course, if you're bored in the forest, you can go into the city and look for me. I live in the West Side, so it's not hard for you to find me a human. By the way, my name is Mu Tong. Young Master of the Mu family. What about you, little one, what's your name? I can't call you Jiuli, can I?"
The little fox demon listened to Mu Tong's words, and was very surprised, this human actually let himself go. He didn't have any intention of supporting himself at all? No, how did he know that his surname was Jiuli.
"Hmph, big villain, you still said that you didn't have the idea of beating me, you even know my surname Jiuli!"
"Poof! I said little guy! Don't wronged people, okay? The three predecessors of your fox demon are all surnamed Jiuli, is it possible that you still want to change your surname? Otherwise, I'm afraid that the entire Fox Clan will attack the Xuan Beast Forest, and it will not be good to affect Black Dragon City. ”
"You...... I won't tell you that my name is Xuanxuan. Hmph!"
The tsundere Jiuli Xuanxuan told Mu Tong its name in a tsundere way, and then the cat's tail swept Mu Tong's face, dismounted directly, went up the river against the river, and disappeared into the night.
Funny watching this arrogant little demon fox leave his sight, Mu Tong restrained his smile. Looking at the Black Dragon City at the beginning of the lanterns, he waved his hand with a solemn face and shouted loudly: Enter the city!
Lao Yang is on duty at the West City Gate today, and he is also the victim of the last attack on the West City, if he hadn't finally taken the battalion guards back to the City Gate, it is estimated that he would have been swept to the end. Fortunately, he took the lead and took the heavy wound to regain control of the city gate with his men and horses, so he was punished for three months.
But for Lao Yang, the three-month Yulu is not painful at all, and he has long passed the era of living on Yulu in the past few years. Relying on his filial piety every month alone is worth his two months' salary, not to mention the extra money of sometimes strange caravans and the like.
It was night, and it was time to close the city gate in another quarter of an hour, and Lao Yang naturally walked out of the duty room. He had the experience of being seized of the city gate once, and he didn't dare to be sloppy in closing the city gate at all, and he had enough manpower.
"Head, there's movement!" came the shouts of the soldiers standing guard on the city wall, which made Lao Yang's heart startled.
"Brothers, the guys and prepare! The first shift will follow me to the door to have a look, the second shift will be ready to close the city gate at any time! The third shift will prepare a warning for me! If something is wrong, immediately ring the alarm bell!"
The Xicheng City Guard Battalion, which had already experienced the baptism of blood, did not become soldiers because of this little bit of turmoil, but responded calmly under the leadership of Lao Yang. This scene made the man in black lurking on the roof of a tall building far behind him nod.
"This city gate guard is good, isn't it a bit of a waste to guard the gate?
The man in black is the secret agent of Mo Qingyan of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is the secret agent who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Mu family who was well entertained by the "butcher" of the torture hall because of monitoring the Mu family.
Today, when he heard that Mu Tong was taking people out of the city, he began to send people to follow. But he disappeared mysteriously.
He couldn't wait for the news, so he had to go out in person and come to Xicheng to wait.
"It's coming!"
From a distance, I saw a group of people outside the city, who were not more than a hundred, and it must be the Mu family.
The spies of the City Lord's Mansion can see the identity of the person, not to mention Lao Yang, a person who often deals with Mu Tong. Justifying the identity of Mu Tong and his party was naturally unimpeded.
"Young Master Mu, what are you doing here. I didn't come back until dark. Today, the commander of the city guard battalion Zhou hurried out of the city with a battalion of people, saying that he was arresting the thieves who were making trouble in the city, but he ran out for a few hours and ran back in vain. It is said that you followed Young Master Mu to suppress the bandits, and you lost them halfway. Why are you only back now? What about the bandits?
"It turned out to be Lao Yang. Well, the head of the thief is tied up in the back. I sent him to the City Lord's Mansion overnight for him to be put on trial. Lao Yang, you still have to work hard, close the city gate as soon as possible. I'm afraid I'll have trouble with the last few nights. ”
Lao Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then figured out the key.
"Young Master Mu is saying that someone will come to rob the prisoner?"
"I don't know if I rob prisoners or not, but if I were the other party, I would definitely kill people. After all, a thief who has been caught, it is much easier to kill a person than to save a person. ”
"So, old Yang, let the brothers cheer up. Be careful not only outside the city, but also inside the city. When this troubled water is resolved, I will invite all the brothers to eat and drink! Take care, I will go to the city lord's mansion to hand over the people first. ”
Bidding farewell to Lao Yang, Mu Tong led the people towards the City Lord's Mansion. And the secret agent lurking on the roof of the building has already gone back to report.
Mu Tong glanced at the place where the secret probe was just now with a blank look, turned around and looked at Mo Qing, revealing a meaningful smile.
Mo Qing nodded and urged the donkey to leave, not conspicuous at all, silently drowning in the flow of people in the night.
At the same time, Mo Tianyan, who received the reward, put down his job. He was silent thoughtfully, and then directly ordered: "Come on, get ready, the living room is waiting for us to suppress the bandit heroes." I want to see what tricks he has to do when he comes to my city lord's mansion and doesn't hand over the bandits!"
