Chapter 610: Discovering the Clues
Soon after, in the courtyard at the intersection of the village, a fire rose.
Li Yu and his entourage stayed here and settled down temporarily.
"No one has spied on us yet, and the villagers seem to have already gone home to prepare dinner."
Someone secretly visited the wall, and two more men were sent to stand guard outside, and after a while, they came to a conclusion.
"Brother Li, your family is really neat." Zhang Jingheng couldn't help but admire.
In this treacherous era, well-trained Inhuman masters are hard to find.
Only the imperial court has the strength to cultivate it.
Most of them are on the side of the Demon Suppression Division, in the hands of Li Xin's father and son.
All of them are very greedy for these, but they can't do anything.
Li Yu didn't say anything, but instructed the necessary things, and then specially explained: "Be careful, don't eat the food and water here, give me dry food." ”
Asking Zhuangtou Huanglu for food and wine before was completely used to hide people's eyes, and they would never use the things here easily during their mission.
Zhang Jingheng was still a little puzzled, and asked curiously: "Brother Li, it's right to be on guard against them, but there's no need to be so careful, right?" ”
"I've read the files of the Demon Suppression Division in the past, and found that there have been many abnormal incidents of accidentally eating food from treacherous places, and as a result, it turned into sand, stone, mud and other things, and some of them were poisoned by people.
Do you already know from the informants that they may be hiding here, and dare to eat and drink what is here? ”
"Uh......" Zhang Jingheng was speechless for a while.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, sit down first, let's talk about the next arrangements." Li Yu didn't bother to say anything more to him, so he greeted him and sat down in the vacated hall.
That Zhuangtou Huanglu is definitely a profiteer, nominally vacating the houses here for them to cope with for a night, but in fact only the front yard and the hall are open.
The inner courtyard at the back and the door to the main house were locked.
Someone took a look inside and found that it was empty, and all the furniture, calligraphy and paintings had been destroyed.
It seems that this place is to temporarily clean up and deal with it when there is a business trip, and the real place to entertain is in Huang Lu's house or other big houses.
But now is not the time to care about this, Li Yu only talked about this person.
"That Huang Lu just now is an alien!"
When Zhang Jingheng heard this, he was a little surprised.
But he didn't ask Li Yu how he knew, or whether this news was true, but asked, "Won't he be a member of the Demon Sect?" ”
Li Yu said: "I don't know this, but it is only natural that the Demon Sect sends personnel to lurk here to manage the stronghold.
If it is really as you said, this place is a suitable place for the cultists to hide and rest, and it is extremely likely that he is the leader of the Demon Cult.
In this way, we are here to stay, and it is very eye-catching. ”
Zhang Jingheng said: "Then it's no wonder, if this Huangzhuang has been occupied by the people of the Demon Sect, and we outsiders have no reason to stay overnight, it really seems that we want to cover it up."
However, we originally planned to test the other party's reality through this method, and we were not afraid that they would be tempted, but we were afraid that they would not come. ”
Li Yu said: "But even so, we can't be passive all the time, we still have to divide the people into two groups, one bright and one dark, and cooperate with each other." ”
"So...... Who's bright and who's dark? Zhang Jingheng suddenly felt a little bad.
Li Yu smiled and said as a matter of course: "Of course Brother Zhang is in the light, and we are in the dark." ”
Zhang Jingheng knew that this would be the case, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
……
As time goes on, it gradually drifts into the dead of night.
The people under Li Yu and Zhang Jingheng seemed to be drinking and making some lively noises here, but in fact, when the moon rose on the branches, they had already started to act.
I saw Zhou Gui come to the courtyard and stretch his arms in full view of everyone.
With a pop, he plunged his arms into the dirt.
In the blink of an eye, one figure after another stood up and turned into human form.
This is the clay figurine he made with a "strange treasure".
Up to now, he has mastered this treasure for more than half a year, and after gradually starting to get started, he has shown great potential.
The clay figurines transformed from clay are essentially the same as the clay figurines that Li Chu and others have encountered in the past, and they are all puppet derivatives that can be faked and real.
There are masters in the Demon Suppression Division, and a series of ability development and application methods have been specially formulated for him, trying to derive a series of useful methods at the lowest cost.
What he is involved now is the most basic application, turning mud into meat.
He made five clay figurines in one go and blended in with the crowd.
The person who had been replaced left the group and quietly dived into the night.
If someone from the village comes to investigate at this time and sees that they are still here, they will not be suspicious.
Unless, they also have similar means to Li Yu, and they can see through the treacherous nature.
However, if such a person really comes, Li Yu will act as soon as possible and kill the other party directly.
When the time comes, using the means of him and another Inhuman to manipulate him, he can usurp the other party's memories to a certain extent, and pretend to be the other party's identity to infiltrate the Demon Cult stronghold.
However, I don't know if Li Yu and the others overestimated the vigilance of the people in the Demon Sect, or if Huang Lu really didn't take them seriously, until they got close to Hai, the people in the village ignored them, as if they had forgotten that there were outsiders here.
The degree of indifference can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.
"Could it be that he doesn't want to make a difference?"
Li Yu secretly guessed.
Suddenly, there was a faint noise outside the door.
It was a subordinate of the Demon Suppression Division who was issuing a code.
Most of these people came from the army or Jinyiwei, and they were originally good at intelligence.
Regardless of the treacherous power, there are really not too many forces in the world that are more professional than them.
Liu Changxi, who was accompanying him, stood up with joy and went to hand over to the man, and then came back and reported to Li Yu softly: "My lord, I really found something abnormal......
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Qiao Lin and the others, but a group of unknown people who are imprisoned in the nearby valley. ”
He explained briefly, and Li Yu and Zhang Jingheng knew that it was not easy to hide people in this kind of Zhuangzi.
Because the local ones in Hongo, although they are all under the control of the head of the village, unless they use means to control all the people, no matter how careful they are, there will still be a risk of exposure.
It's best to find a secret place near the village to use as a secret base.
And those who know there and can go in and out of it are their own cronies.
In that case, you can also use gold panning, mining, or other trading as an excuse to cover up.
Ordinary villagers have their own tasks and do not have so much leisure to meddle in.
