Chapter Fifty-Eight: Controlling People's Hearts is also a Skill
In the imperial palace, there are strict hierarchies, and there are many high chairs on both sides, made of various colors of coral! On it sit a turtle man, a colored shell girl, a dragon man with a dark blue appearance, and two orca guard captains! Dozens of other crab generals, fish generals, and other relatively high-ranking generals stand in their respective positions.
The mermaid emperor is not very old, and he looks youthful and flying.
"I don't believe that so many of our sea tribes are still afraid of him, can we run away? There are monitoring mirrors, sea patrol envoys, and your strong support, this damn immortal, let me catch him, I will definitely pick his skin!"
Hu Menglin listened for a while, and he understood that these people were here to persuade the mermaid clan to let go of the sea ban, after all, after a long time, no one could stand it, and many sea tribes also wanted to go ashore.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion!" Hu Menglin stood up politely.
"Sit, young priest, I heard that your deeds are amazing, young people are motivated!" This emperor doesn't care about the fact that he is not very old, but he still relies on the old and sells the old.
"I don't think this person ran away, Your Majesty, who saw the sea snake man leave in the morning? Can you let him come here?" Hu Menglin can't afford to wait, if he doesn't catch this bastard, he probably won't have to get married!
Let a crab general go down and bring people up, and these foreign visitors began to help His Majesty the Mermaid analyze the intentions of this immortal.
Hu Menglin listened, he always felt that there was something wrong with these people, including himself! When the prostrate shrimp man resident stood in the main hall, Hu Menglin suddenly understood.
Why is it always said that it is an immortal, why can't it be a demon clan? The immortal in the impression of the purple-clothed immortal Lan Jieying has always been half-blocked and half-hidden, and until now, no one has seen this person in its complete form!
Maybe this guy is a Sea Clan himself!
Suddenly, Hu Menglin's heart suddenly brightened. If this is the case, then the problem is easy to explain, these previous illusions are to hide the true identity of the person who stole the goods - the sea people of the demon world.
If the demonic aura is concealed, this guy is not significantly different from the real Sea Clan, and may even be exactly the same.
"This shrimp warrior, let me ask you, did you see that sea snake man walk out of the city gate with your own eyes?" Hu Menglin felt that this shrimp man was a little old.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard a guard shouting, so I took a look, but I didn't see anyone at the city gate!"
"How many people were out of the city when the guard shouted?" Hu Menglin continued.
"As soon as the door was opened, the guards came running and shouted to close the door, but we heard one of the guards shouting, and we chased them out!"
"Are there many people who have gone out? Who are they? Are they all back?" Hu Menglin found that the problem was getting more and more complicated.
"Not much, just the guards and a few of us old men at the city gate! After we went out, we didn't see anyone running, so the captain let us all come back, a lot!"
"There are a lot of them, have you left in the middle, or searched for them elsewhere?" Hu Menglin asked urgently.
"There can't be anyone left behind, after all, there are still hundreds of people standing in the city watching!" Hu Menglin motioned for the crab to continue to call the guards for questioning.
"Hu Xi, what did you find?" the turtle man was obviously a little wise, and he also saw the problem.
"I suspect that this thief is not alone, and this Dinghaizhu has not left the city! I have heard that once you leave the city for three days, there will be a natural disaster in the sea. It's already the second day, and if there is no abnormality tomorrow, surely this bead is still in the city!" Hu Menglin just thought that this matter was too unusual.
After all, it takes a long time from the loss of the pearl to the discovery, but the city gate will never be opened without dawn, therefore, no one enters or exits the other city gates, only this city gate finds a snake man running away, how can it be impossible to find it as soon as you go out?
This is the sea, not the sky, and no matter how fast you run, you will leave a water mark or something!
After asking a few more guards, Hu Menglin finally determined that no one had seen any sea serpents leave Crystal Palace. I just heard someone shouting! As for who shouted, I can't remember it now.
The furious Mermaid Emperor is about to arrest and interrogate all the guards involved that day. Hu Menglin hurriedly stopped.
"Your Majesty, this method doesn't work, if it were me, if I didn't go out that day, I would definitely change my identity! Now, our thinking should be on luring the snake out of the hole. Now, these people in the palace can definitely guarantee their true identities, right?"
Hu Menglin's words made everyone stare angrily, after all, it is not easy to be suspected. Seeing everyone nodding, Hu Menglin began to arrange.
Soon, news came that His Majesty the Emperor had decided to personally go to the East China Sea to find the sea snake and open the door early tomorrow morning. But everyone who goes out of the city must be justified.
When night fell, there were long queues at every city gate, and the big city where this palace was located had hundreds of thousands of Sea Tribesmen, most of whom had prominent backgrounds.
However, there are also many sea people who enter and leave the city. Nothing is produced in the city, everything has to be supplied outside the city!
Hu Menglin thought for a while, and finally realized that there were only two places, one was the emperor's guards and entourage, and the other was the envoys of the Sea Clan who came from all over the place to ask for news.
Standing in front of the monitoring mirror, Hu Menglin and the old turtle man observed everyone's demeanor and expression one by one.
Suddenly, Ma Wushuang, who was standing behind Hu Menglin, said in surprise: "This mermaid looks like it?"
Following Ma Wushuang's instructions, Hu Menglin locked his eyes on the guard soldier who brought Hu Menglin in.
"Ma Wushuang, what problem have you found?"
"No, I think he's too much like a mermaid! I used to know mermaids very well, and mermaids have a habit of waging their tails when they walk. But I watched dozens of people just now, and he was the only one who didn't fall to the ground! Others often forget, maybe too nervous!"
Hu Menglin's eyes lit up, this is a flaw! If he is allowed to walk, it will definitely not be the same every time, let alone wag his tail. The more it resembles, the more likely it is to be fake!
The mermaid emperor had already gone to sleep, and after being woken up by the two, he listened to the analysis of the two and decided to continue to observe this guy.
At night, the guard continued to patrol the streets, still walking in the same standard manner. Suddenly, a huge shell fell from the sky and quickly smashed into him.
"Hand over the orb, and I'll take you out!" the shell said suddenly.
The mermaid guard frowned, and was about to speak, but suddenly the spear in his hand stretched out and pierced the shell.
Hu Menglin, who saw all this in the mirror, breathed a long sigh of relief. It was finally determined that this mermaid must be a fake, and there was an accomplice.
Quickly set up personnel to catch this guy, and then the mermaid master searched for this guy's memory. Indeed, this is a Demon Mermaid dressed in the "Lich King's Cloak". There is also a "demon dragon clan" in the demon world, but where it is, this demon mermaid is not clear!
That person is the "immortal" from the demon world! This demon clan has already infiltrated the crystal palace, and it was only recently that he was asked to steal out of Dinghaizhu and then retreat.
After he gave the orb to the demon dragon clansman, he lost his tracks. The last time he was seen, he disguised himself as a guard. When the matter got here, there was no suspense anymore, starting with those guards, and then touching the platoon one by one.
Sometimes, controlling people's hearts is also an ability!
