Chapter 408: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Although Yuwen Tuo is a Taishi and has a huge intelligence network, he is not an all-knowing and all-powerful person after all, and it is impossible to guess the origin of Dugu Ningke in advance.
Shangguan Zhenyuan couldn't understand the information that Lu Xiao deliberately said in different ways, Yuwen Tuo should be able to guess part of the truth from his confession, after all, he himself was the reincarnation of the artifact Kunlun Mirror.
After leaving the battlefield of the Dunhuang Grottoes, Lu Xiao held his breath and tried to capture the spatial coordinates that he deliberately left in the inn in the way of Guigu Taoism.
"Coordinate locking, spatial dimension conversion, and analysis completed."
"Huh~"
With one foot into the spatial rift, Lu Xiao had already appeared on the top floor of the Youfeng Laiyi Inn in the next second.
After Zhang Lie, Yongzhen and others left one after another to carry out their tasks, there was only one person left on the top floor of the inn who was chartered by Lu Xiao.
As soon as he returned to the inn, Lu Xiao first saw Chen Fu standing by the window in a daze.
Chen Fu is not an unreasonable person, and his concern for Chen Jingqiu is not false, but because the obsession of recovering the country imprisons his thinking, he will always unconsciously take a stern posture towards Jingqiu.
Lu Xiao's head drink shattered the sweet dream he had woven for himself, and when he just woke up from a coma, Chen Fu was very confused for a while.
Lu Xiao's momentum when he reasoned with the facts was very strong, and Chen Fu, who had read countless people, could see that he was not talking nonsense.
Having lost the goal he has worked hard for many years, Chen Fu didn't know where he would go in the future for a while.
"Lonely sail in the sky and forget to return to the boat, Chu Yun low-roll old country tour, my dream is like the wind passing, and the detention trip will be in Nanshan again."
Chen Fu looked at the bustling Daxing City outside the window and sighed faintly: "Pity my homeland, there will be no day to restore the country, there will be no day to restore the country!" ”
Chen Fu's ability to perceive his surroundings was greatly weakened, and he was immersed in his personal world and did not notice Lu Xiao's return at all.
Lu Xiao didn't want to disturb Chen Fu to sort out his emotions, so he quietly went downstairs to find the innkeeper after turning on the breath block.
"Shopkeeper, call all the guys in the store."
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance when he looked at the shopkeeper, under the effect of hypnotic spells, it was just an ordinary person's shopkeeper's trick without accident.
“…… Be. ”
In a daze, dozens of people from the Fenglaiyi Inn were called, and Lu Xiao held a "recital" in front of everyone.
Using Fu Xiqin to hypnotize everyone in the Youfeng Laiyi Inn, without Dugu Ningke's knowledge, Lu Xiao rewrote their logical priorities.
Once the proprietor behind them asks them to provide information about the top customers, these people will report to Lu Xiao and Yongzhen first.
After getting permission, they will feed back the processed information to the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and even Dugu Ningke, who is hiding behind her and controlling it remotely.
'Do you want to play yin?' I'll be with you to the end. ’
……
Lu Xiao stood on the roof and scanned the Dugu County Mansion through clairvoyance, Dugu Ningke was really not in the mansion, and even Yu Chi Yanhong was nowhere to be seen.
"Sure enough, whether Satan's order is true or not, Nicole doesn't dare to gamble with her life."
Judging by the current situation, Yu'er, who quietly left the inn and sneaked into the county king's mansion, should have successfully completed her task.
Satan is the demon king of the Western Demon Realm, and his methods are very brutal, and once he fails to complete the task he has assigned, he will never be soft even to his own people.
Nicole thinks that no one in the entire Eastern world knows her true identity, even her most trusted and relied on personal maids, Shan Xiaoxiao and Yu Chi Yanhong.
When she saw Mandela's inverted pentagram sign, Dugu Ningke was almost frightened into cardiac arrest, and she thought that Satan was dissatisfied with the progress of her mission, so she specially sent someone to the east to urge.
After reading the content on the cloth, Dugu Ningke breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the intelligence language is very harsh, it seems that Satan does not intend to punish her for the time being.
Considering Satan's temper, it is better to believe that he has something than not.
Dugu Ningke decided to believe this unknown source of information for the time being, but she made a lot of preparations before starting to act, and immediately evacuated as soon as she saw that something was wrong.
After commanding Shan Xiaoxiao to chase Lu Xiao and set off, Dugu Ningke also rushed to Bashu with Yu Chi Yanhong.
According to the plan, Yu'er and Yongzhen hung far behind the two.
If nothing else, they set off almost at the same time as the generals sent by Yuwen Tuo to Bashu to reinforce Hu Lu'an.
As for whether it was Yang Shuo or Han Teng, Lu Xiao didn't know.
……
Zhang Lie, Chen Jingqiu and others went very smoothly on their trip to the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu, they arrived just a second before Hu Lu'an found the "Nuwa Stone", and fought with the officers and soldiers led by Hu Lu'an in the deepest part of the ancient king's tomb.
The reinforcements sent by Dugu Ningke, Yongzhen and Yuwen Tuo arrived almost at the same time, and the three forces invariably hid in the shadows and watched the changes.
Zhang Lie followed Lu Xiao's instructions and did not force Hu Lu'an too hard, and after eliminating all of Hu Lu'an's subordinates, the three of them deliberately let him get the "Nuwa Stone" and fled outside the tomb.
It was Han Teng, who was sent by Yuwen Tuo to reinforce Hu Lu'an.
As soon as Yuwen Tuo received the information, he sensed that something was wrong, and instructed Han Teng to act as cautiously as possible.
After arriving at the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu, the experienced Han Teng did not show up to meet Hu Lu'an at the first time, but quietly hid in the dark to observe the development of the situation.
Dugu Ningke's eyes lit up, and the passage for Hu Lu'an to escape was a secret escape road built by the ancient king of the Han Dynasty in the tomb, with only two entrances and exits, and the interior was completely sealed, a perfect confined space.
Confirming that Zhang Lie, Jing Qiu and others also chased into the secret passage, Dugu Ning Ke came to the passage first with the help of Yu Chi Yanhong's space spell.
After Yu Chi Yanhong's disguise, Dugu Ningke once again changed into the appearance of Yuwen Tuo.
Hu Lu'an, who had a lot of physical exertion in the battle, was panting and shuttling in the secret passage, and when he saw Yuwen Tuo suddenly appear in front of him, he was a little confused for a while.
"Taishi, why are you here?"
"Boom!"
What answered Hu Lu'an was a sudden thunderbolt, and Hu Lu'an, who was caught off guard, was knocked to the ground.
"Taishi?!"
"Heh~"
Dugu Ningke bent down to pick up the Nuwa Stone that fell to the ground, and said with a smile in the voice of Yuwen Tuo: "Thank you for your hard work, Hu Lu'an, your task is over here, and the Nuwa Stone will be brought back by this seat personally." ”
"Boom!"
Another thunderbolt lit up in the passage, in order to create a fait accompli before Zhang Lie and the others chased after him, Dugu Ningke was ruthless, and sent out powerful lightning strikes one after another when Hu Lu'an's brain couldn't turn.
"Demons! Dare to disguise yourself as a master to do evil! ”
Han Teng, who had already followed quietly, arrived at the scene before Zhang Lie and the others, wielding the long-handled giant axe in his hand that had been enchanted by Taoism to disperse the deadly thunder and lightning emitted by Dugu Ning Ke.
Dugu Ningke raised her eyebrows, and when she saw Han Teng, who shouldn't have appeared, suddenly appeared, she had a bad premonition in her heart.
"Retreat!"
Yu Chi Yanhong, who hid in the shadows and did not appear, immediately launched a teleportation technique to send Dugu Ningke out of the secret passage of the ancient king's tomb.
Yongzhen and Yu'er, who were about to make a move, could only stop moving, and Yongzhen frowned and looked at the location where Dugu Ningke had disappeared.
She seemed to see something, and she was very cautious. ’
"Ahem!"
Hu Lu'an, who was not lightly injured, coughed up a mouthful of blood and barely stood up with Han Teng's support.
"Hu Lu'an, are you okay?"
"Ahem...... Fortunately, I can't die. ”
Hu Lu'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked Han Teng puzzled: "Old general, the previous Yuwen Taishi was an impostor?" And why did you come to Bashu? ”
"It's a long story......"
Without waiting for Han Teng to explain, Zhang Lie arrived with Chen Jingqiu and Yu Xiaoxue, and the two sides began to confront each other again in the secret passage.
Zhang Lie looked at the traces of the scene, roughly understood the direction of the situation, and took the lead in putting down the weapon in his hand to show goodwill.
"Two generals, at this point, you should know that we are not real enemies, right?"
Hu Lu'an's mind was relatively straight, and he was still confused about the situation in front of him, but Han Teng, who came with the task, knew it in his heart.
He nodded solemnly to Zhang Lie and said, "Three, let's make a truce for the time being, we must rush back to Daxing as soon as possible and tell the Taishi what happened here." ”
Zhang Lie happily gestured to him: "Two of you, please, I, Zhang Lie, guarantee with my personality that I will never launch a sneak attack from behind." ”
