Chapter 25: Walking the Dog and Teasing the Dog
It turned out that there was a man with a cloak standing in front of the carriage, who couldn't distinguish between men and women, and couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the snow-white clothes were extremely eye-catching in this dark alley, just like the legendary white impermanence.
At this time, Bai Wuchang slowly turned his head and aimed in Song Mao's direction.
*
Earlier in the day, Song Fengming and Elder Zhou were discussing strategies in the study of the Song family's old mansion.
The spies found a total of five suspicious targets, all of which were located in the eastern part of the city, but because they were all very wary, it was easy to be surprised if they wanted to find out their identities further.
Therefore, Song Fengming proposed to arrest them all back for interrogation.
Elder Zhou was a little hesitant, "I'm worried that the movement is too big, I'm afraid it will alarm the government and attract people's attention." ”
But Song Fengming had already thought of a way, and he laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? ”
"Find a team of people disguised as a pick-up team, visit all these places, and play music along the way while throwing money, which will naturally cause a lot of sensation and attract the attention of the people around you first."
"We concentrate on the masters to catch people when the pick-up team comes, and strive for a quick solution! As long as several parties cooperate well, it can be done quietly and seamlessly. ”
Elder Zhou was deeply surprised, but he had to admit that Song Fengming's method was indeed good.
"Then follow the arrangement of the Song family master."
"Good!"
After some arrangement, the team to welcome the relatives has not yet reached dark has been lively in the east of the city, suona shocking the sky, copper coins scattered, peanut candy is innumerable, along the way attracted many people to come out to see the lively, dip in joy, even the children who begged for candy have followed a dozen.
When the team arrived at the first location, the three people who followed them had already hidden in the alley, ready to sneak into the good yard to arrest people.
But as soon as they reached the door, they heard a slight explosion in the courtyard.
"Boom!"
Although this sound was muffled by the sound of suona outside, it also attracted the attention of some people.
What's more, the people in the yard were alarmed!
Seeing that the target was out of the house and waiting in the yard, the three of them had to attack hard, ready to rob it!
At this moment, a black-clothed masked man suddenly appeared in front of them, he half-squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes that were slightly slanted, and he didn't hold any weapons, but just cast a few small spells to disturb the three of them.
The three of them gave up their original goal, gritted their teeth and aimed all their attacks at the man in black, but the gap was too big, even if they tried their best, they were just mantis arms blocking the car.
The joy outside gradually faded away, and the opportunity for the three of them had been missed, and if they continued to fight, not only would they not be able to catch anyone, but they would be discovered by others.
Fortunately, the man in black shouldn't want to make a big fuss, so he didn't kill him, the three of them looked at each other, shouted "go", and disappeared over the wall together.
The man in black looked at their backs and chuckled, and said to the stunned cultivator behind him: "They are here to arrest you, if you can't do anything, there is another plan, you had better escape from the capital." ”
"Dare to ask who your Excellency is and why you want to save me?"
The man in black did not answer, and disappeared into the night.
In the next three locations, Song Fengming's people were all treated similarly, and the plan failed without exception, Song Fengming's face sank like water when he received the news, and Elder Zhou was furious.
"Master Song, how can such a secret plan be known so clearly by others, do you have anything to say!"
Song Fengming raised his head, his eyes were like knives, "What does Elder Zhou mean by this, do you mean that I deliberately leaked it?" ”
"Even if it's not you, this plan is all arranged by you, and it must be your people who leaked the news!"
"Impossible!" Song Fengming flatly denied it, "All the people under my command are loyal, just look at the past few days they are trying their best to find someone!" Now that something is wrong, Elder Zhou blindly blames it, which is really chilling. ”
Elder Zhou's face turned pale, and he snorted coldly and stopped speaking.
Song Fengming gritted his teeth and asked the steward: "There is still one last place, send more people, ask the elders of the clan to go together, and arrest those two people together." I want to see who that person really is and how high his cultivation is! ”
Hearing this, Elder Zhou suddenly got up, "If the Song family master doesn't mind, I want to take my people to arrest it personally!" ”
Song Fengming hesitated for a moment and responded: "Elder Zhou is willing to go out, so it's even better, I'm here to wait for good news." ”
Elder Zhou's face looked better at this time, and he could go out and gather people.
*
The night breeze blew, and Song Mao felt cold and swishing on his body, and it turned out that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.
But he shouted at the coachman to embolden himself, "Nonsense! Where there are ghosts in the world, they are all people pretending to be gods and ghosts! Give it to me! ”
After saying that, he preemptively struck and rushed over with his sword.
The other guards followed him with swords.
Bai Wuchang seemed to be waiting for him to come, conjuring a long stick in one hand, carrying the white cloth to fight with him, and on the other side he was distracted by the attacks of the other guards.
While fighting, the white impermanence still smiled sadly: "Song Mao, you have killed too many evils, and the king of Hades ordered me to take you." ”
"What cultivator isn't full of blood, and you can use this kind of nonsense to deceive me?"
As soon as he handed it over, Song Mao knew that this was a living person, so he was no longer afraid.
Bai Wuchang is at ease, but he plays with everyone, "Cultivators fight each other, and when they die, they only blame their cultivation for not being as good as others, but you are different, you use evil arts, and all you kill are ordinary people...... Hades was furious. ”
Song Mao trembled when he heard this, and his sword hand was not very neat, "You, who are you, how can you know ......?"
The other guards looked at each other, and the sword in their hands was not so steady.
"Hehehe, if people don't know, unless they don't do it. Song Mao, you don't understand such a simple truth? ”
Song Mao immediately thought of the loss of more than a hundred elites on the mountain in the western suburbs last night, and immediately became angry.
"Last night in the western suburbs, didn't you do it!"
"Yes, so many unjust souls have come to Hades to sue you, and Hades has sent me to accept my life."
"I'll fight with you!"
Song Mao's sword momentum was suddenly fierce, and the move was towards Bai Wuchang's vital parts, and the surging spiritual power leaked out from his body, like a fierce spark.
But Bai Wuchang's cultivation was obviously a lot higher than Song Mao's, and he could easily lead Song Mao's offensive elsewhere with one move, like a cat teasing a mouse.
Song Mao's eyes were red, and he roared and slashed a sword diagonally, with an endless momentum.
Bai Wuchang blocked it, and said with a smile: "Are you going to go to Zhuqing Lane to find Sun Huai now?" Tell you, it's too late! ”
After speaking, he flipped Song Mao to the ground, and disappeared after a few steps up the high wall.
Song Mao was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he turned around and kicked the coachman away, beating the remaining horse fiercely.
"Qiu'er hurry up! We're going to get there right away! Drive! ”
The group hurried to Zhuqing Lane.
Almost at the same time, Elder Zhou took more than a dozen henchmen out of the Song family's courtyard and headed for the last location.
*
The last location is in Zhuye Lane in the east of the city, which seems to be far away from Zhuqing Lane, but in fact it is back-to-back.
Elder Zhou held back his strength, and as soon as he heard the joy of the welcoming procession, he led people to surround the courtyard.
This is a separate courtyard, and there doesn't seem to be any inhabitation in the surrounding courtyard, Elder Zhou didn't see the lights all the way, and God helped me in my heart, and this time I will definitely be able to catch the target cultivator and the troublemaker.
At the sound of an order, more than a dozen people jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard, the courtyard was silent as if it had been abandoned for a long time, if it weren't for the spies who were extremely sure that the suspicious person lived here, Elder Zhou would definitely think that he had made a mistake.
He frowned and waved his hand, and everyone headed for the door.
"Up!"
And just as they touched the door, just as they had reported four times before, a black-clad masked man descended from the sky and stood in front of them.
"Good time!"
Elder Zhou's eyes lit up, he flicked his sleeves and stepped into the air, and his palm, which was full of spiritual power, stretched out flatly, reaching the head of the man in black.
The man in black seemed to have expected it, did not block or refuse, and blocked the attack of more than a dozen people with both hands, but he chose to fight hard for this move on his head.
With a "bell", Elder Zhou's spiritual power was like hitting a piece of dark iron, not only was the other party unharmed, but his whole person was shocked and flew out.
The rest of the people were all taken aback when they saw that Elder Zhou, who had the highest cultivation level, actually lost in one blow.
"Elder?!"
Elder Zhou landed on the ground and took two steps back before he could stand firm, and a fishy sweetness surged up in his throat, and he swallowed it alive.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why do you repeatedly spoil our affairs, you can know that no one who opposes us will end well!"
"I'm a nosy idler," said the man in black who spoke to them for the first time tonight, his voice as crisp as a mountain stream.
"If I can't get used to it, I have to stretch out my hand and take care of it, if you have the ability, kill me."
Elder Zhou's face turned hideous when he heard this, and he took out his portable magic weapon and attacked it again, "Today is your death date!" ”
The man in black didn't move a single step, but he could still stop them from breaking into a small room, and chuckled: "It's a pity that your cultivation is not as good as your big words!" ”
"Kill them all!"
Elder Zhou was completely enraged, and all the magic weapons in Qiankun's bag were taken out without money.
The two sides were fighting inextricably in the small courtyard, when they suddenly heard a "click", and the windows of the house suddenly shattered.
A figure jumped out of the room, glanced at the man in black who had helped him block the door, turned around and jumped off the wall.
"Well, that's ......" someone stammered in shock.
Elder Zhou's anger burned even more.
That's the guy they were going to capture fled!
"Chase!"
Elder Zhou tried his best to stop the man in black, and the other guards withdrew to leave, but the man in black rolled up his long sleeves, and his strong spiritual power was like a huge fan, enclosing them all in the courtyard.
"You say chase it? I don't allow it! ”
"Bastard!" Elder Zhou had no choice but to lead people to rush out desperately.
This time, it's to save his own life.
After a cup of tea, it was estimated that the man had fled far away, and the black-clothed man laughed again and said, "Okay, I won't play with you anymore." "Say goodbye and leave.
He jumped high onto the roof, but in an instant, his back disappeared into the alley behind him.
After he left, more than a dozen people in the courtyard relaxed, and all of them collapsed on the ground panting.
One of the guards whispered to Elder Zhou, who was also exhausted, "Elder Zhou, ...... Now what? ”
