Chapter 395: Disguise
At the same time that Ye Ye and Yan Xiaofei were cleaning up the mess in the Cuichi Building, the atmosphere in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in the Heron Ancient City was completely different from that in the Cuichi Building.
Xu Youtian, the city lord of the Heron Ancient City, and the other two Martial King powerhouses in the city, Zhu Lanyu and Nie Wenfan, were all seated in the hall, discussing the specific results of their Heron Ancient City's actions against the Mohai Alliance.
"City Lord, our strategy of having people pretend to be Ye Ye to appear in the Heron Ancient City has worked, at least before the major ancient cities in the Linhai area perceive the truth, the influence of our Heron Ancient City has risen to the level second only to the Mohai Alliance!"
Zhu Lanyu reported to Xu Youtian while revealing an unconcealed excitement.
Because the direct result of the rise in the fame of their Heron Ancient City is that the number of scattered cultivators who are interested in joining the Heron Ancient City has increased significantly, if this trend continues, Zhu Lanyu believes that it will not be long before the strength of their Heron Ancient City will catch up with the Desert Sea Alliance and become the only force in the Linhai area that can compete with the Desert Sea Alliance.
At that time, as long as Xu Youtian raises his arms again, he will also form an alliance to go toe-to-toe with the Mohai Alliance, and it may not be impossible to unify the entire Linhai area.
Nie Wenfan, who was sitting opposite Zhu Lanyu, was also full of expectations for the future of the Heron Ancient City, and after Zhu Lanyu finished speaking, he immediately said to Xu Youtian: "Even if the major city lords in the Linhai area learn the secret of Yi Rong Dan, as long as they can't produce evidence, we can still insist on the fact that Ye Ye has been in contact with us." In this way, the reputation of the Heron Ancient City will continue to rise, and the split within the Mohai Alliance will continue. ”
Obviously, both of them were satisfied with the results of their operation, and their words were full of admiration for Xu Youtian, the mastermind behind them.
However, Xu Youtian, the city lord of the Heron Ancient City, did not have any joy on his face, and after hearing the words of the two, he was noncommittal, but asked them with some confusion: "You said that Ye Ye left the Mohai Ancient City twice, where did he go? I don't know why, I always have an inexplicable worry in my heart before I grasp Ye Ye's whereabouts. ”
Although Xu Youtian learned about Ye Ye's departure from Mohai Ancient City through their undercover agents lurking in Mohai Ancient City every time, even if Heron Ancient City was undercover in Mohai Ancient City, he didn't know where Ye Ye went after leaving Mohai Ancient City.
Originally, Xu Youtian thought that Ye Ye would personally kill the Heron Ancient City to prove his innocence after learning that someone had pretended to be him in the Heron Ancient City, but several days had passed, and Ye Ye had never been seen. This made Xu Youtian, who had already laid a trap and was waiting for him, feel a little frustrated, after all, compared to cheating to gain a short-term advantage, he wanted to directly hunt Ye Ye so that the name of the Heron Ancient City could truly resound throughout the entire Linhai area.
Zhu Lanyu saw that Xu Youtian's mood was a little low, so he immediately said comfortingly to him: "City Lord doesn't have to mind so much, didn't our spies in Mohai Ancient City already say that Ye Ye is very likely to have gone out to cultivate." If he has been in retreat somewhere, it is normal not to know what is happening in the outside world. It's good that our Heron Ancient City can achieve the current results, at least the surrounding ancient cities don't dare to fight our ideas anymore. ”
"That's right! All of this is the credit of the city lord, I believe that the old city lord will be extremely pleased in the spirit of the sky!"
Nie Wenfan, who was on the side, also echoed Zhu Lanyu's words, and hurriedly said a faint word of relief to Xu Youtian, as if he wanted Xu Youtian to cheer up as soon as possible.
The two of them still despised Xu Youtian when he first succeeded him as the city lord, but now that they have regarded the real Xu Youtian as the pillar of the Heron Ancient City, they naturally don't want to see Xu Youtian depressed because of some trivial things.
Feeling the care from the two, Xu Youtian finally barely showed a smile.
Previously, because of the small age gap with Ye Ye, Xu Youtian always regarded Ye Ye as his biggest enemy, so his desire to kill Ye Ye to remove hidden dangers was very strong.
But since things didn't develop as he imagined, Xu Youtian finally stopped insisting and began to start from the overall situation in the Linhai area, and continued to discuss with Zhu Lanyu and Nie Wenfan about their next move in the Heron Ancient City.
On the other side, the day after Ye Ye killed Huang Dahai and Yan Zhen, an obese young man suddenly and hurriedly broke into the city lord's mansion in the ancient city of Yuanfang.
If the person who had already learned that Huang Dahai was killed by Ye Ye saw the young man, he would definitely think that he had seen a ghost, because the young man who broke into the City Lord's Mansion at this time actually looked exactly like Huang Dahai.
"Father, father, help! Your son is about to be killed, don't you care?"
As soon as the young man who looked exactly like Huang Dahai broke into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, he shouted with a mournful face, which immediately caused the entire City Lord's Mansion to be in an uproar.
"What's going on? Who let you break in?"
After hearing the young man's voice, the first person to appear in front of him was not Huang Tao, but a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties.
The middle-aged woman's face was full of disgust at the sight of the young man, as if she wanted to drive him out immediately. She didn't seem to care about the young man's life or death, and when she saw the young man's panicked appearance, she showed a hint of schadenfreude.
This person is Huang Tao's wife Shen Dianlin, because she was full of rejection of Huang Dahai's appearance from the beginning, so her attitude towards Huang Dahai naturally couldn't be any better. Every time Huang Dahai appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Dianlin always looked disgusted, as if he would be unlucky if he said a word to him more.
And at this time, the young man who was standing in front of Shen Dianlin, who was panicking as if he was being scared, was naturally not Huang Dahai, who had died, but Yan Xiaofei, who was taking Yi Rong Dan and disguised as Huang Dahai.
Because Ye Ye guessed that since Xu Youtian had carefully laid out the Mohai Alliance to fall into chaos, it was very likely that he had also set a trap waiting for him to jump in. If Ye Ye really went to the ancient city of Heron to settle accounts with Xu Youtian in a fit of anger, it was very likely that he would fall into his ambush and put himself in danger.
Therefore, Ye Ye thought about it again and again, and decided to exert influence on the Heron Ancient City from the side, so that Xu Youtian could walk out of the Heron Ancient City by himself, and pay a heavy price for his previous actions. The first step in his plan was to let Yan Xiaofei pretend to be Huang Dahai and enter the City Lord's Mansion after taking the Yi Rong Pill, and then slowly push the Yuanfang Ancient City to act according to his plan after gaining Huang Tao's trust.
Although Yan Xiaofei was a hundred unwilling, he had promised to work for Ye Ye for three years after all. In order to be able to get more benefits from Ye Ye, he finally decided to endure it, and broke into the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning according to Ye Ye's request to start implementing Ye Ye's plan.
Since Huang Dahai had not been in the Yuanfang Ancient City for a long time, there were almost no people who were really familiar with him, so since Yan Xiaofei entered the City Lord's Mansion, no one had been able to see through the flaws. This is also one of the most important reasons why Ye Ye was able to think of this plan, otherwise, even if Yan Xiaofei took Yi Rong Dan and pretended to be Huang Dahai, he would still be quickly recognized.
And the City Lord's Mansion of the Yuanfang Ancient City passed through Yan Xiaofei's trouble just now, and other people from the City Lord's Mansion also quickly appeared in front of him, including Huang Tao, the city lord of the Yuanfang Ancient City. Huang Tao saw Huang Dahai's embarrassed appearance, and immediately asked him with concern: "Dahai, what's wrong with you?" Don't worry, tell me slowly!"
"Father, you have to make the decision for me! Last night I went to the Cuichi Tower for a banquet, and suddenly a killer broke into the room and tried to assassinate me. If Uncle Yan hadn't sacrificed his life to help me escape, I'm afraid I would have been a corpse by now. Please ask my father to send the master of the City Lord's Mansion to break that killer's body into pieces, otherwise Uncle Yan will die without a blind eye!"
Yan Xiaofei cried to Huang Tao with a handful of snot and tears, and her acting skills were really amazing. If Ye Ye saw this scene, he would definitely be proud of his decision, because there was no one around him who would be more suitable for this kind of latent and disguised work than Yan Xiaofei.
In the city lord's mansion of the ancient city of Yuanfang, Huang Tao's pupils shrank after hearing Huang Dahai's words, and he frowned at Huang Dahai and asked again: "What are you talking about, Yan Zhi is already dead?"
In addition to a trace of shock, there was also a trace of incomprehension in Huang Tao's expression. However, he quickly hid his emotions, and his eyes once again showed a hint of concern when he looked at Huang Dahai.
"Uncle Yan died to protect me! It was precisely because he desperately blocked the way of the killer that I was able to escape with my life! Please father must avenge Uncle Yan and find out the killer with a thousand cuts. ”
Yan Xiaofei continued to plead with Huang Tao, and seemed to have finally recovered from the fright.
Huang Tao's expression was a little relieved when he saw this, but then his face was full of anger, and his tone was full of murderous intent and ordered to his subordinates behind him: "Find! Find that person for me immediately! I want to see who dares to assassinate my Huang Tao's son, and also let a strong martial king in my Yuanfang Ancient City lose his life!"
"Yes!"
When Huang Tao's subordinates heard the order, they immediately took action, and directly left the City Lord's Mansion and hurried towards the Cuichi Tower that Huang Dahai said.
But Huang Tao's wife Shen Dianlin didn't want the City Lord's Mansion to make a big deal for Huang Dahai, she saw that the masters of the City Lord's Mansion had begun to investigate Huang Dahai's assassination, and hurriedly said to Huang Tao dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it just a failed assassination, why bother with it? Now that the situation in the Linhai area is turbulent, our Yuanfang Ancient City should focus on improving its own strength." ”
Yan Xiaofei immediately glared at Shen Dianlin when he heard this, and said insinuating in front of Huang Tao: "Father, there are not many people in the ancient city of Yuanfang who want me to die, and there are even fewer people who have the strength to hire real masters to kill me, I hope that my father must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and administer justice for me!"
When Huang Tao saw Yan Xiaofei's appearance, he couldn't see who the mastermind behind the scenes he was referring to. Shen Dianlin also heard the meaning of Yan Xiaofei's words, her face instantly became excited, she stepped forward and pointed at him and said angrily: "Little bastard, who do you say is the mastermind? If I want you to die, do you need to be so troublesome? If you wronged me again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"
But Huang Tao immediately stood in front of Yan Xiaofei, not letting Shen Dianlin take another step closer to Yan Xiaofei, and said in a tone that seemed to be unbearable: "Enough! No matter who sent someone to assassinate my son, I, Huang Tao, would never show mercy to his subordinates!"
