Chapter 445: Meeting
Steward Cheng listened to Sun Da's words and continued: "Only you can distinguish the loopholes in these caravan lists, after all, we didn't know that it was the Huangfu monk who came that time, not that time, the teleportation array was in the hands of Ling Dian, if he wrote like this, there is no way for us to take him without real evidence." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said: "The current evidence is not suitable for attacking Ling Dian, after all, even if Sun Da comes out to testify, Ling Dian can refute it, and there will be no other human or physical evidence at that time, it will be difficult to take the control of the teleportation array from Ling Dian, I guess the city lord still warned in the end." ”
Ling Guang shook his head at this time and said, "Master Qin, of course this evidence alone is not enough, the main thing is the clues of the monk wearing the hat that you provided us, after Lao Cheng went to check it, there was a discovery that would definitely make Ling Dian recover." ”
Qin Wen was stunned in his heart, if Ling Guang could really make Ling Dian lose control of the teleportation array, then his hope of cutting off the trade route of the Yellow Mansion would be greatly increased, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Who is that monk wearing a hat, is it very important to Twin Star City?"
Ling Guang looked at Steward Cheng at this time, Steward Cheng nodded, probed the situation outside with his divine sense, and then casually arranged a soundproof formation, and said with some caution: "This time I went to Lingdian's mansion, I went with an elder in the city, Ling Dian didn't care too much at that time, he readily took out the timetable for using the teleportation array, and he also understood that even if we saw something on the table, there was no threat to him." ”
"I wrote down the time when the caravan passed on a piece of paper, and then used the secret note to inform our hidden monks in Lingdian Mansion, I estimate that this kind of secret agent, Lingdian also put it in our mansion, after I sent the elder away. In one of our son's shops, I saw a secret agent lurking in the Lingdian Mansion. ”
As he spoke, Steward Cheng took out a jade talisman, and then handed it to Qin Wen and said, "Master Qin Dan, take a look, is it this monk with a hat that you saw near the teleportation array at that time?"
After Qin Wen took the jade talisman, he saw a vague figure faintly appear on the jade talisman. However, the clothes and hats worn by this figure are relatively clear, Qin Wen carefully observed, and found that the figure gradually faded, and turned into a white jade talisman in his hand, and Cheng Guan explained: "This is a secret method in our city, use the divine sense to transmit the image you see into the jade talisman, when you input the vitality, the image on it can be gradually displayed." ”
Qin Wen nodded, and gently entered his vitality into the jade talisman. Sure enough, the figure above gradually became clear again, Qin Wen glanced at it a few more times, and after Fang Li and Sun Da next to him confirmed it, he returned the jade talisman to Steward Cheng and said, "The one we saw outside the teleportation array is indeed this monk, is his identity confirmed now?"
A smile appeared on the face of the steward and said: "This is the Dou Lisa monk that the secret agent saw in Lingdian's mansion, speaking of which, I still have some impressions of him, after all, I had a lot of contact with him back then, and I also let some old people in the mansion see this image." They are all sure that this person is the sixth master Ling Long, that is, the sixth uncle of our son. ”
Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He asked with some confusion: "Your son's sixth uncle, how could he appear in Lingdian's mansion, isn't there only one of your city lords left here in each generation?"
Steward Cheng nodded and said: "What Master Qin Danshi said is the most important thing, the sixth master can enter Lingdian's mansion, it means that Lingdian invited him in from outside, even if it is a monk from an ordinary family, after being banished." He is not allowed to return to this Twin Star City, let alone say that he is the brother of the city lord, not to mention that he was banished when he was rude to compete with the city lord back then. ”
Qin Wen already understood in his heart at this time, Cheng Guan and Ling Guang just wanted to use Ling Long's matter to attack Ling Dian, which was indeed a good way. It is estimated that as long as the city lord knows that Ling Dian dares to bring back his competitors from the outside, even if Ling Dian is his own son, he will not let it go.
Qin Wen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and said, "Since that monk named Ling Long was in Double Star City before, there must be many monks in the city who know him, why would he take such a big risk to return to Double Star City?
Ling Guang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but now it's a fact that the sixth uncle is in Lingdian's mansion, now without further ado, I will immediately go and report to my father, let the soldiers in the city surround Lingdian's mansion and take them down, but Qin Danshi, I also want to ask you for a favor." ”
Qin Wen nodded and said: "What's the matter, just say it, as long as you can promise me that after I take Lingdian, I will tear up the agreement between him and the Huang Mansion, just say what you need directly." ”
Ling Guang looked at Fang Li and Sun Dadao next to Qin Wen: "I want to ask the three of you to follow me to the City Lord's Mansion, there is a monk from the former Huangfu beside Danshi, who is very clear about the time passed by the trade route, once my father asks about the situation of the caravan of the Huangfu on the paper, it is good to have an answer." ”
Listening to Ling Guang's words, Qin Wen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then he asked: "Young Master Ling, this is a matter within your family, it's a little inappropriate for us to participate, besides, we are from outside, your Double Star City has always been more exclusive to the monks from the outside world." ”
Steward Cheng also heard the meaning of Qin Wen's words, he knew that Qin Wen was afraid that the city lord would ask about the origin of Qin Wen and the three of them, and then it would be unfavorable to them, so he said: "Qin Danshi, don't worry, although the rules in our city have restrictions on the monks from the outside world, but you can rest assured, our son can absolutely guarantee your safety." ”
Qin Wen knew that he and Sun Da were just a proof, if the city lord was very repulsive to the outside world cultivators, it was estimated that Ling Guang would not dare to take him to see the city lord, so he nodded and said: "Okay, Ling Gongzi, I will follow you to the City Lord's Mansion, but I think the teleportation array should also be prepared now, so as not to make a report to the city lord just now, Ling Dian will be in trouble if he sends your sixth uncle away again." ”
Steward Cheng nodded and said, "This Qin Danshi can rest assured, after I learned that the sixth master was in the city, I first sent a monk to the teleportation array, and then ambushed the monk at the four city gates, as long as I met the sixth master appeared, I would immediately take him." ”
After saying this, Steward Cheng withdrew the outer vitality barrier, Ling Guang took Qin Wen and Steward Cheng into the carriage in the mansion at this time, and walked straight to the City Lord's Mansion in the middle of the city, and came to a side door of the City Lord's Mansion, Steward Cheng knocked lightly on the door, and an old man said a little drunkly: "Who is it?"
When the door opened, an old man of the upper level of the Xuanshi monk was revealed, and his slightly squinted eyes showed that he must have drunk a lot of wine, and when the old man saw clearly that it was Cheng Guan and Ling Guang outside, his face suddenly sobered up, and he should have used his vitality to dissolve the drunkenness, and asked: "Childe, Lao Cheng, why did you take this road today?" The city lord is now in the main hall, aren't you walking closer to the gate?"
Cheng Steward said in a low voice: "The third steward, we have important things to ask to see the city lord, can you go and report it, we didn't go to the main gate, we just don't want to be discovered by others, this matter is very important, and I hope the third steward can help take care of it." ”
The third steward nodded slightly and said, "It's Lingdian's kid's business, okay, you guys come in first and wait, I'll go to see the city lord and see where the city lord is going to meet you?"
After Ling Guang also thanked the three stewards, everyone walked into the side door, there was just a small courtyard opposite the side door, the courtyard door was open, and after the three stewards led Ling Guang and the others into the small courtyard, they changed their clothes and left in a hurry, leaving them to sit in the courtyard and wait.
After about half a pillar of incense, the third steward walked back and said: "The city lord is waiting for you in the study, you are still here at the right time, two days ago the city lord went out of the customs is the elders to report the situation of the acquisition of frost zhi, today the city lord wanted to retreat again, the city scripture building has a new book of skill marking, just took it in the morning, the city lord has just arrived at the study, if you come at night, it is estimated that you will not see the city lord." ”
After Ling Guang and Steward Cheng said goodbye to the three stewards, they hurriedly came to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, and after entering the study, Qin Wen finally met the current city lord of Double Star City, only to see that the city lord was a middle-aged man with a kind face, with three strands of beard under his chin, and his fair face looked very well maintained.
When the city lord saw Ling Guang and Steward Cheng enter the study, he waved his hand to let the maid who led them into the study out, and looked at Qin Wen behind them with some confusion and asked, "Why haven't I seen these three monks in our city again?"
Ling Guang hurriedly introduced: "Father, these three are Qin Danshi and his two subordinates from the Expulsion City, and this time the child came to his father to report something important. ”
The city lord still had a puzzled expression on his face and said, "Why did you come in through the side door today? And let the third child report, don't you usually go through the main gate? What is it that makes you so mysterious." ”
Ling Guang took out the piece of paper at this time and said, "Father, this is the number of times Ling Dian has used the teleportation array in half a year, as well as the time that has passed for each caravan, this subordinate of Qin Danshi was the leader of the Huangfu caravan before, according to him, the Huangfu caravan has not passed through so many teleportation arrays in the past half a year.
