Volume 1: The Earth Demon Prince Chapter 249: Rumors are spreading
The young man turned around quietly and walked towards a nearby alley, and the two soldiers also looked numb and followed him stiffly, and when the young man stopped, they also stopped.
"There are a lot of guests from the City Lord's Mansion today?" the young man asked.
"Yes. ”
"Who are they?"
"Eight elders, three earth demon elders, two middle-aged people and one teenager, their identities are not very clear. ”
"I don't know?"
"Yes, we don't know those three people, we only heard that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion seem to call that young man His Highness. ”
The young man asked some questions one after another, and the two soldiers also said what they knew with dull eyes, and soon, the two of them returned to the place where they came from stiffly, and their eyes gradually returned to clarity, and the tall soldier was stunned, and continued to teach another honest soldier, and the two of them mounted their horses and galloped towards the barracks, as if nothing had happened.
And the ordinary young man in the alley rubbed his head, and a tingling pain came out of his mind, which made him grit his teeth, although this secret method has a lot of effect, but it is also accompanied by strong side effects, and he can only use it on people whose strength is much lower than his own, and hit the idea on these two young soldiers.
Finally survived the side effects of the secret method, the young man also calmed down, his eyes flashed, extracting useful information from the words of the two just now, his figure gradually faded, and finally turned transparent.
The announcement spread all over the streets and alleys of Blood Spirit City in one day, and most of the people were locked up in the city for more than a month, naturally linking the gathering with Kaesong, this news eased a lot of oppressive atmosphere, and the people in the City Lord's Mansion were happy and relaxed, and did not come out to explain this "misunderstanding".
Putting down the big stone in everyone's heart, in the next two days, the overall atmosphere in the city was also a little more lively, and many people who knew each other gathered together, drank wine, listened to small songs, released the inexplicable pressure of the past month, and chatted about topics that everyone was interested in for a while.
Gossip and curiosity are common traits of all intelligent beings, and they talk about nothing more than beautiful women and wealth, and some people talk about the reasons for the lockdown, speculating about what will happen in addition to the gathering in three days.
I don't know where the message came out, poked out the news of the theft of the Blood Spirit Holy Mine, even if many people don't know what the Blood Spirit Holy Mine is, but they can roughly guess the preciousness of this thing, the reason why the Blood Spirit City closed the city gate is because the thieves who stole this treasure mixed into the city, and the City Lord's Mansion closed the door to search.
If this matter had been a few days ago, there would definitely have been city guards who came out to stop it, strangled the message in the cradle, and blocked the news for a month, and the Elders' Mansion didn't know much about it, one reason was that he wanted to save face and suffer from it, and he didn't want to be ruined by the few old guys in the clan who didn't like him, and on the other hand, he was worried that after the news came out, it would cause unnecessary panic in the city.
This time there was a message, and after Xue Wuji knew about it, he was also ready to order the arrest of the person who was talking nonsense, but after thinking about it, he found Yeyang again and asked for his opinion, Yeyang just replied to him and wait and see, and refused to say anything else.
Blood Wuji almost went away again, but His Royal Highness Ye didn't eat hard and soft, oil and salt didn't enter, and he made up his mind not to speak, so that Blood Wuji also hated itchy, leaving a sentence "Do it yourself, don't play with fire and self-immolation", and waved his sleeves away, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the people under his command asked him how to deal with it, and he was also a roll, so he simply didn't care about it anymore, anyway, what happened to His Royal Highness Ye, and he didn't bother to worry about it.
Then there was a message saying that the reason why everyone gathered together this time was to find the thieves hidden in it, and even more, it was said that the people of the City Lord's Mansion had no way out, and they couldn't catch the thieves for a month.
The person who made this kind of remark was a child of a second-rate race, and the rumors spread very quickly, and some people could be seen talking about it in many entertainment venues, or taverns or brothels, and it didn't take long for it to spread all over the small Blood Spirit City, and almost everyone knew about it.
This kind of rumor caused panic several times, and the Blood Spirit City, which had only been calm for less than a day, was panicked again, and everyone in the city was in danger, and they were afraid that there was the thief who killed people without blinking an eye. People who don't know each other don't dare to speak, and those who see suspicious people stay away, and even acquaintances who have known each other for many years are also on guard against each other.
So there were rumors that in fact, the thieves had already been caught, and the assembly a few days later was just to facilitate the lecture, and to bring the thieves to justice in the presence of everyone, so as to set an example, to maintain the majesty of the city lord's mansion and stabilize the ruling order.
The originator of this statement was an elderly merchant who owned several businesses in the city, and this statement was echoed by most people, although they were still a little scared, and after comforting themselves, their emotions calmed down a lot.
In addition, there is also a rumor that rises, which denies the first one, thinking that the city lord's mansion will not arrest people indiscriminately, and if you want to find a scapegoat, there is no need to gather everyone and leave it to people. At the same time, it also denied the second one, questioning the possibility of the city lord's mansion arresting the theft.
This rumor came out only the day before the rally, and it was an elder of a first-class force who said this, he had a mansion in Blood Spirit City, and he had come to the city to do errands, but he didn't have time to go out, according to what he said, on the day when the city lord's mansion issued a notice, he saw a group of people entering the city, led by a young man, and this young man happened to meet in Eternal Night City, it was His Royal Highness the Prince of the Earth Demon Country.
When Yeyang entered the city, many people saw it, but His Royal Highness the Prince didn't show up much since he came back from the North Seal Realm, and there were very few people in the Earth Demon Country who knew him, not to mention in this Blood Spirit City, which was far away from the mountains and rivers, and the people at that time were still curious about who entered the city, and at this time they reacted one by one, and it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince who was only rumored.
Speaking of Yeyang, maybe few people know, who knows which onion he is, but if you mention His Royal Highness the Prince, then there are a lot of people who know, this His Royal Highness has only returned to the Earth Demon Kingdom and has served as an important position in the Execution Department of each person for thousands of years, and it is to win over the Heavenly Demon Country, and it is to promulgate a new policy of reform, and the limelight is unmatched for a while, even if there is no news for more than ten years, there are many people who remember.
Behind the Blood Spirit City is the Blood Spirit Mine, the people in the city have all been in the mine, and they have more or less heard the story of the prince, and they can now enter the ore vein to mine, and it is still the credit of His Highness, so naturally they will not know it.
And the smarter people can naturally guess from the things that the Night Prince has done, that he is a scheming person with great strategy, and the elder of the first-class force quickly realized the problem, why didn't he convene it in the past month, but only after the prince came?
The only explanation is that this highness has a way to find the thief who stole the treasure from among the crowd, and no matter how bad it is, he also brought artifacts that can distinguish thieves or blood spirit holy mines, as for what the specific method or what, it is not for him to know.
In fact, this kind of rumor is not from the elders of the first-class forces, he is in a high position, and he naturally knows the powerful relationship, this is only the day before the rumor, after he and a few friends got drunk, he inadvertently talked about it, but unexpectedly it was heard by the junior who was a guest in his mansion at that time, and was taken by the junior to show off with a few fox friends and dog friends.
After knowing this, the elder also beat up the offspring who was talking nonsense, if it weren't for the nephew of the in-law, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death, and the elder also sent someone to clarify after that, but there were many people and it didn't play a substantive role.
Three days are about to pass in the blink of an eye, the night before the rally, the Peony Pavilion, the top floor, or the flower room where the three of them are located, but today there are not many girls with flowers, the three of them sit in the empty room, their faces are the same gloomy like water, although most of the time they hide here, ordinary young people will also go out from time to time to inquire about the news, and what is happening outside is naturally clear.
"That first-class force elder who spread the rumors, how did you investigate?"
"This person's surname is Jin Minghuan, he is an elder of the Pangolin Clan, and he only came to the Blood Spirit City two months ago, and he has not had an obvious intersection with that Night Sun. Yin Ye told all the news he had found, and he had already been confirmed by the two soldiers about the arrival of the Night Prince.
Xue Hao was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What do you think about that rumor?"
Yin Ye knew which rumor he was talking about, and thought carefully for a moment before replying: "I have also heard of this person Yeyang, this person is scheming, treacherous and cunning, more than 20 years ago in the Heavenly Demon Country, he used a plan to oppose the vultures and the Eagle Clan, and won over the ally of the Heavenly Demon Country, and later returned to the Earth Demon Country, and issued a series of new policies to get the Earth Demon Country out of trouble. ”
The other two listened carefully, they didn't laugh at anything sarcastic, but their faces became more solemn, Yin Ye was the smartest person among them, and a big reason for his success in stealing the Blood Spirit Sacred Mine before was his plan. It's just as wise as him, and his face is not very good-looking at this time, so he continued: "This kid is hiding too deeply, according to my estimate, if we go out tomorrow, the probability of exposure is seventy percent!"
Wu Yan clenched his fists and asked, "Then what if we hide here and don't go out? They may not come to the Peony Pavilion to search!"
"Ten percent!" Yin Ye said categorically: "Tomorrow there will definitely be people searching around, even here will not let go, I can be invisible, but you can't." ”
"Isn't that a dead death!" Wu Yan gritted his teeth, very unwilling.
"Unless ......" Yin Ye said this, his eyes flashed, and he didn't continue to speak, but a laughing voice came from outside the door: "Unless there is help from my clan." ”
