8. Snares
As Qin Lan expected, Wang Wu confessed that Yanlong colluded with Lu Shan to secretly poison the old city lord, originally this poison was unsolvable in Yanzhou City, who knew that Yanjun invited Ye Xiaoxiao, Yanlong was worried that his matter would be exposed, first let Wang Wu send people from the wolf mercenary group to assassinate Ye Xiaoxiao, Lu Shan was worried that it was not safe, so he directed and acted by himself, and prescribed a prescription to make the old city lord unravel the old poison, and after a period of time, it would produce new poison because of taking new drugs, and the old city lord still died.
In this way, it would make sense why Qin Lan was able to find the seal of the Yan family on the body of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.
But how did Yanlong hook up with the Tai Temple? Why did the Tai Temple intervene in the internal affairs of Yanzhou City......
"Nerd"
Ye Xiaoxiao interrupted Qin Lan's thoughts on the side, and she asked worriedly:
"You abolished the cultivation of Wang Wu and those people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, and then the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group came to take revenge on you, what should I do?"
"It doesn't matter"
Qin Lan kept his promise very much, Wang Wu did not kill him after confessing, but he blew his qi with one punch, and now if the people of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group lie on the street like dead dogs, they may be lucky and may live until tomorrow morning.
"They always have to pay a price for what they do wrong," Qin Lan said softly.
I don't know if it's Ye Xiaoxiao's illusion, she feels that the nerd in front of her doesn't seem to be so cold anymore.
"Oh......"
Ye Xiaoxiao bowed his head and answered, silently following behind Qin Lan.
Somehow, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the thin back in front of him and felt a little tall......
"Wang Wu was dealt with!?"
Yan Long, who was waiting for news in the hall, stood up suddenly, and asked loudly to the people below with a blue face:
"How is that possible!? Wang Wu has so many masters, and there is no force in Yanzhou City that can compete with him! How can it be completely destroyed! ”
Cold sweat also broke out on the foreheads of the people below, and they said:
"Childe, the villain did see it, Ye Xiaoxiao was going to be solved, but suddenly the black-clothed young man who came out of nowhere and solved all the people in the wolf mercenary group."
"It's the one next to Ye Xiaoxiao during the day."
Lu Shan said in a deep voice: "Although that person doesn't seem to have any cultivation on his body, he can block Wang Wu's sneak attack with his physical body, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems, but we didn't notice him at the beginning!" ”
"That's impossible! That's more than a dozen six-grade masters! How old is he? I have never heard the name Qin Lan on the Tianji list! ”
"Calm down!"
Lu Shan looked at Yanlong's chaotic appearance, his face flashed with disappointment, and he frowned and said: "It's not that you haven't seen such a person, as far as I know, the Holy Son of my Tai Temple is not inferior to the Ten Heavenly Pride, and there are also levels to challenge multiple opponents of the same level at the same time!" ”
The five temples pay attention to the order of rank, the most talented person is called the Holy Son, there is only one in each temple, there are four divine sons under the Holy Son, Lu Shan is one of the four divine sons of the Tai Temple, although it is not a peerless Tianjiao, but it is also on the list in the heavenly machine list.
"So what do we do now?"
Yanlong was a little nervous and asked Lu Shan.
Lu Shan pondered for a while, lowered his voice and said to Yanlong: "When they come back, you gather the government soldiers and the defenders in Yanzhou City, and drag them down first on the grounds of plotting against them and poisoning the old city lord, and I will find the people from the Tai Temple to come back and suppress them!" ”
"Then when will Gongzi Lu leave?"
"Let's go now."
Yanlong pondered what Lu Shan said, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, didn't this person see that things were not good for him, and he was about to run away with oil under his feet, right?
Seeing that Yanlong was hesitating, Lu Shan guessed what he was thinking, and said angrily on his face: "I can still bluff you!" ”
Yan Long smiled wryly: "Lu Gongzi's character, Yan is naturally relieved." ”
"Humph!"
Lu Shan snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left, leaving only Yanlong with a back.
Yanlong himself sat in the hall and thought for a while with his head on his lean, then beckoned the people under his hand and said:
"Come on, gather the government soldiers, and all of them will stand in the compound for me!"
"Gather all the guards of Yanzhou City and tell Commander Lin that there is a thief who wants to murder the old city lord, and in order to protect the old city lord, please send troops to Yanfu to protect our safety!"
After Yan Long finished speaking, he waved his hand, and his subordinates led the order to invite Commander Lin, and after a while, the soldiers outside the Yan Mansion came in and stood by in the courtyard.
"As long as outsiders come in for a while, they will be surrounded and detained on the spot, and no one can speak!"
"Yes!"
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Yan Jun, who was in the room, heard the noise outside and ran out and hurriedly asked.
"Yanjun, don't ask too much about this matter, stay honest on the side!"
"Big Brother ......"
"Shut up!"
Yan Jun wanted to say something more, but he was scolded by Yan Long, and in desperation, he could only stand aside, his eyes flashing.
Big brother, what do you want to do......
"Ye Xiaoxiao"
Qin Lan was about to walk to the Yan Mansion when he suddenly stopped and called Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Hmm...... Huh?"
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't react at first, as if since she knew Qin Lan, this nerd in front of her was calling her name for the first time, and she even wondered if the voice just now came from Qin Lan's mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Lan with a puzzled expression.
"Did you feel something was wrong?"
Qin Lan looked at the gate of the Yan Mansion in front of her with a somewhat solemn face, and said in a condensed voice, "Don't you feel that tonight is a little too quiet?" ”
Ye Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he also began to realize that something was wrong.
The Great Xia Dynasty had a curfew, after which you could not go out, and after that there would be guards patrolling the city and guarding the night vigil, and those who were found to have violated the curfew would be arrested on the spot and handed over to the government for distribution.
But tonight they made such a big fuss with the wolf mercenary group, and they didn't even see a single patrol!
Assuming that Yanlong and the others greeted the patrol in advance, then the patrol army would have trouble finding them when they decided the winner, and they would not have given the two of them such a long night tour on the streets of Yanzhou City.
"That's it...... None of the guards in the city saw ......," Ye Xiaoxiao muttered to himself.
"There's only one possibility."
Qin Lan saw that Ye Xiaoxiao had already noticed the problem, and slowly said his speculation:
"At the beginning, they had absolute confidence in Wang Wu, so they asked the patrol army not to patrol tonight, but now they must know that Wang Wu has failed, so they gather soldiers and horses and wait for us to throw themselves into the net!"
"So what do we do now?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's willow eyebrows were twisted together, and she asked with a bitter face, she is just a little doctor, how can there be so much trouble when she is entrusted to treat people.
Thinking of this, poor Miss Ye grabbed her hair irritably, but found that the hair in her ears had been cut short by which bastard during the battle just now, and she suddenly became even more irritable.
"I'm afraid it's inevitable to fight hard today."
Qin Lan took out a palm-sized bronze medal from his arms and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao, saying:
"I'll rush forward in a moment to help you attract their attention, you find an opportunity to sneak into the Yan Mansion, find the old city lord's bedroom to treat him, and give him this bronze medal when he wakes up, and no matter what my situation is, he will definitely come to help me."
Ye Xiaoxiao took the bronze medal and looked at it suspiciously, this thing doesn't seem to be anything special.
"If you venture in, you will be arrested in the yamen."
Ye Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
"As long as you rescue the old city lord, all problems will be solved, don't ask more, go quickly!"
Qin Lan patted Ye Xiaoxiao's shoulder, got up and walked to the gate of Yanfu, Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lip and ran towards the side of Yanfu.
"Squeak"
Qin Lan pushed open the door of the Yan Mansion.
The government of the Great Xia Dynasty had a special technique that could forge a kind of shackle, no matter how high the cultivation was, as long as it was locked on the body, it would no longer be able to use spiritual power.
Next, he may face hundreds of defenders, and even in his heyday, he will eventually be exhausted, not to mention that the battle against the wolf mercenary group just now has also been consumed.
So this time Qin Lan is likely to be taken down by the government!
Qin Lan walked slowly, walked through the front yard to the hall, and saw Yan Long standing on it at a glance, and Yan Jun on the side.
The soldiers in the courtyard stood neatly, the weapons in their hands flashed with cold light, Qin Lan inserted the iron rod into the ground in his hand, looked up and asked:
"Master Yan, what do you mean by that?"
"Huh"
Yanlong snorted coldly and said, "What did you do yourself, don't you know in your heart?" Don't say it yet! Where are the accomplices who assassinated the old city lord with you? ”
"Big brother! They were invited by me to see my father, so how could they be the murderers of my father's assassination?"
Yan Jun was shocked when he heard what Yan Long said, and hurriedly explained to Yan Long.
"Little brother, I'm afraid you've been deceived by these people! I already have solid evidence in my hands, don't defend them anymore! ”
"Big Brother ......"
Yan Jun looked at Yan Long in a daze, is this still the eldest brother who grew up with him since childhood? He took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Big brother, they've only been in Yanfu for a day, how can they do anything to their father, little brother is here, please think about it again!"
Yanlong's expression was cold, and he shouted left and right:
"The little boy is also bewitched by these traitors! Why don't you help the little boy go down to rest! ”
After hearing this, the government soldiers beside Yan Jun took action to hold Yan Jun down, and Yan Jun noticed that something was wrong at this moment even if he was sluggish, and shouted at Yan Long:
"Big brother, my father taught us since we were young that we have to talk about conscience!"
"Take it down!"
Yan Long ordered the government soldiers to escort Yan Jun away, and then said to Qin Lan:
"I'll give you another chance and tell me where your accomplice is!?"
"No comment."
The officers and soldiers guarding the city kept pouring into the Yan Mansion outside, Qin Lan's face remained unchanged, and he replied lightly: "If you want to do it, go straight to it!" ”
Yanlong's face sank, and with a wave of his big hand, he shouted towards the courtyard:
"Everybody's on orders! Take this person down now! ”
"Yes!"
The officers and soldiers in the Yan Mansion shouted neatly, echoing before dawn!
