Chapter 24 Plotting and moving, catching turtles in the urn

Looking at Lin Xiao on the stage, Chen Ping's face was gloomy. Originally, he had approached Lin Xiao twice, but he had always shown a light look of mercenary, but now it seems that it is just a cover for him to have already strategized, floating on the surface, and deceiving everyone's eyes.

"When did you find out...... I see, it's that list! Hahaha, he is worthy of being the second son of the dignified Lin Mansion. Knowing that he had a problem, but still did not change his face and risked his life, after Chen Ping reacted, he laughed at himself, "The people in the city lord's mansion, I'm afraid I won't be able to rush over at this time." ”

In the name of Li Yan's beheading, he first skillfully released the rumors of the robbery of the prisoners, so that they could take precautions, and on the day of the execution, he sent some people to the prison beheading platform to disperse their forces in Yancheng, and finally broke them one by one, which was really painstaking.

"In that case, let's give it a go." After speaking, Chen Ping drew his sword and stood up, and was about to attack the guards who surrounded him, but unexpectedly, a silver long sword attacked his neck, and immediately retracted his momentum and swept backwards.

The guard, who had just helped Chen Ping find out the news, put the long sword on Chen Ping's shoulder, stretched out his hand and slowly took off the human skin mask on his face, and stood solemnly. Where is the guard lurking in Nanyue, it is clearly Shi Rong beside Lin Xiao.

Later, the so-called Deadpool, who was ordered to come to support, also put away the swords in their hands one after another, and leaned over towards Lin Xiao and hugged his fists.

The sword in Chen Ping's hand slowly hung down, and his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.

The guards arranged by Chen Ping on the execution table had been solved before he came, and they were replaced by soldiers from the City Lord's Mansion that Lin Xiao had urgently borrowed from Liancheng in the past three days.

The guards reflexively aimed at Chen Ping, and Deadpool, who was hidden in the shadows, had moved slightly, ready to come to the rescue. When Chang Yi came forward to deal with Chen Ping, he took the opportunity to delay the time, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Xiao arranged the secret guards around in advance so that he could accurately find them and destroy them one by one. Before Chen Ping was summoned, change their outfits and take their place.

"Even so, the death of the city lord is a fact, even if you catch me, you can't clear Li Yan's name, and there are people on the Huangquan Road to accompany you, it's not too bad." Chen Ping still refused to give up, trying in vain to die.

As long as Li Yan can't clear his name, their plan to infiltrate Yancheng is not a complete failure, if he doesn't prove it, Li Yan can only go to Huangquan under the public opinion, Chen Ping is gambling, betting that they don't want Li Yan to die.

"Who said the official is dead." A thick male voice came from a distance, and the people made way out of it, and a middle-aged man in a dark robe slowly arrived. Beside him were a few men who "died" because they were "poisoned" by Li Yan a few days ago.

"Li Shen!" Chen Ping looked shocked, he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, how could a dead person suddenly appear in front of him.

"Framing my brother, fornicating with foreign enemies, Chen Ping, what else do you have to say." Li Shen walked steadily onto the prison platform and questioned sternly.

On the other hand, the people around who came to watch the execution in order to join in the excitement were full of doubts after this series of changes. At this time, the former city lord suddenly "came back from the dead", and everyone seemed to have found the backbone again.

Seeing that the city lord made a statement to prove Li Yan's innocence, and the men who were claimed to have been poisoned by Li Yan also appeared in front of everyone unharmed, then Li Yan's crime of murdering the city lord and poisoning the talented people who participated in the banquet at the Lake Tour Club was not established.

To say that the city lord Li Shen is not dead, it is because he has already arranged for a real housekeeper to die on his behalf, and he is disguised as a housekeeper, secretly promoting the development of the plan behind his back.

In this way, it can not only solve the eyeliner that Nanyue has planted in the City Lord's Mansion, but also use his own fake death to blow up Chen Ping's plan after that, killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, those banquet talents who were "poisoned" were originally carefully arranged by Li Shen, and they just followed the script from beginning to end.

In order to let this drama continue, although Bai Lishan used the method of searching for Gu that day, she forcibly used a secret technique to change the flight path of the blood butterfly, which deceived Chen Ping's eyes.

"I see, I've always been the only one who has been kept in the dark, how can I, Chen Ping, let so many of you partner up to act and bully each other." Chen Ping's eyes were a little red, and then he laughed loudly.

He understood that Li Shen, Lin Xiao and others did this just to let him blow himself up, so as to completely uproot his own power in Yancheng, but he was too confident and never realized it, and in the end he was reduced to making wedding dresses for others.

The defeat has been decided, Chen Ping looked like a dead ash, his eyes were colorless, he looked at Chang Yi on the side, and said viciously, "Hehehe, the Lord takes such a fancy to you, and invited you to the best martial artist and enter the best school, but I didn't expect to raise you as a white-eyed wolf." ”

Then he turned to face Lin Xiao, first snorted coldly, and then seemed to think of something pleasant, he suddenly stretched his brows, the corners of his mouth rose, and glanced at the restaurant on the edge of the prison platform, and a touch of evil spirit flashed from his eyes. Without saying anything else, he lifted his long sword, wiped it on his neck, and slashed himself on the prison platform.

"Today, the sinner Chen Ping has been ambushed, and this official hereby announces that the former deputy city lord Li Yan is acquitted." Li Shen stood up on the prison platform, and relied on his internal force to spread his voice, so that all the onlookers could hear his orders.

After a slight pause, Li Shen looked at Chang Yi who was standing on the side, with a look of relief, and then said: "In addition, this official solemnly declares that Zen is located in Chang Yi today, and from now on, Chang Yi will be the new city lord of Yancheng. ”

Chang was shocked, he didn't expect Li Shen to make such a bold decision, he was still young, how could he support the burden of Yancheng alone. Moreover, Li Shen and Li Yan are both here, and there is no reason to pass on the position of city lord to him.

But Li Shen doesn't think so, judging from the past few days, he feels that Chang Yi is a manufacturable material, he can bend and stretch at a young age, he is brave and strategic, and he is well versed in the way of being an official, and he will definitely achieve something in time. In addition, he and Li Yan are indeed poisoned in their bodies, and they know the toxicity of "Half Moon" the most......

Chang Yi was anxious to refuse, but was stopped by Li Shen. Although the people in the audience were puzzled, they did not reject this young man who had the courage to stand up and speak for the people.

"Congratulations to the city lord, congratulations to the city lord!" The people saluted and congratulated as they were told.

Chang Yi finally understood at this time that in the entire Yancheng killing game, everything Li Shen planned also included himself, and the city lord's mansion Gu poison farce three days ago was just to accumulate prestige for himself through Chen Ping's hands, and Li Shen had long expected this day.

"Thank you Second Prince Lin for your help." Li Shen walked to Lin Xiao's side and leaned over slightly.

The last step of Li Shen's plan is the key to Lin Xiao's assistance, to go to other cities to borrow troops in just three days, and have the ability to secretly eradicate the Deadpool brought by Chen Ping, he believes that at this time, except for Lin Xiao, no one in Yan City can do it.

Therefore, he has been trying every means to lure Lin Xiao into the game, although he risks offending him, Li Shen is also fearless, as for the reason, he has to ask Lin Xiao himself.

Moreover, Lin Xiao had already guessed Chen Ping's conspiracy before he came to the door to explain the reason, otherwise he would not have come to the City Lord's Mansion to look for him, and he was just cooperating with himself from beginning to end and acting on the spot.

"It's about Dongqi, and I won't sit idly by." Lin Xiao responded politely.

Li Yan, who had been silent, also walked over at this time, showing a rare smile of relief, and also saluted: "I have offended a lot before." ”

The siege of Nanyue in Yancheng finally came to an end, and the people gradually dispersed under the leadership of the guards guarding the city.

On the other hand, Lin Xiao was faintly uneasy, Chen Ping's last smile seemed to be a hidden mystery, and he always felt that he had missed some important clues. I accidentally glanced at the teahouse wing on the side, and I was shocked, it's terrible!

Without waiting to say goodbye to Li Shen and the others, Lin Xiao rushed towards the teahouse wing, but when she opened the door, she didn't see anyone.

was worried that if she took Yu Zijin down, Chen Ping and others would take the opportunity to attack her, so they left her in the wing, but they didn't expect to leave an opportunity for others to take advantage of. Who exactly? Stretched out his hand and shook the warm white jade teacup on the table, and suddenly, a figure of blue clothes flashed through Lin Xiao's mind.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, tightened the white jade cup in his hand, and was overwhelmed by the strong internal force, the white jade cup cracked in response, the broken jade piece pierced into the palm of his hand, and a stream of blood slowly left along his wrist.

In the wing room of the teahouse opposite, a water-blue figure leaned on the soft collapse, and a man in an ink-colored power suit stood beside him, gently fiddling with the dragon-shaped ring on his finger.

"Her Gu poison has not been resolved, and this is beneficial and harmless." The man in blue said lightly, glanced at Ying Yan's slightly dangerous eyes, and laughed softly, "If you are still worried, go with you." ”

Ying Yan didn't pay attention to the man's ridicule, still standing aside with a cold face, raised his eyes and saw Lin Xiao who arrived in a hurry in the opposite wing, frowning slightly.

"Don't hurt her." With that, Ying Yan flew away from the window, and the green plants by the window shook slightly.

Another chuckle, the wide aqua blue sleeves brushed towards the window, the window closed instantly, as if no one had ever been here, except for the branches that still swayed slightly, everything was still the same.

In the side room, only the sound of fingertips tapping the table top was left.

Ying Yan fell softly on Lin Xiao's side, and said lightly: "Baicheng." ”

Lin Xiao squinted slightly, looked at Ying Yan, frowned slightly, and then lowered his eyes. did not ask the reason why she should have been protected by Yu Zijin's side, but let her be taken away by others, nor did he take the initiative to respond to what Ying Yan said.

White City. Ying Yan meant that Yu Zijin was taken to Baicheng. What did Bailishu take Yu Zijin to Baicheng for? Is it because of ......

However, since Ying Yan didn't say anything to stop it, it meant that Yu Zijin's life was not in danger for the time being, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and no longer stayed for a long time, so he waved his sleeves away.

Ying Yan glanced at the slightly bloodstained white jade fragment on the ground, his expression did not change, and he also stepped away.
