Chapter 484: Intercepting the Messenger
Although he doubted that the Sea Clan would have any follow-up actions, Liang Cheng first pressed this idea for the time being, and planned to push it back, the current top priority was to stand firm on his foothold first, so he planned to straighten out the affairs of Wanghai City first.
At present, Liang Cheng has reported to the imperial court for the actions of the Sea Clan, and he has fulfilled the duties of the Lord of Wanghai City, since the above has given instructions lightly, then he doesn't have to worry too much, anyway, this matter has evolved into a major event related to the Terran and the Sea Clan, and it is not something that a monk like Liang Cheng can grasp.
And the matter of Wanghai City is different, Liang Cheng knows that the situation he is facing is quite grim, the third prince and some of his enemies seem to have taken the wrong medicine, and they have to send someone to take their lives, if such a big disaster is not eliminated, I don't know what will happen in the future.
The top priority must first get rid of Duan Weicheng's henchman, otherwise his General Judgment Mansion is about to become a killer base, hiding the killer at every turn, carefully planning the assassination plan, if such an enemy is not eliminated, will he still be left to relieve his boredom.
But Duan Weicheng is an official anyway, not to mention that he is still the deputy city lord, and there are three princes standing behind him, so it is not appropriate to do it in the open. And this Duan Weicheng is also an old qualified Jiedan monk, and his strength may not be very weak, and it may not be easy to deal with him in secret.
What's more, there are still two killers in the Tongju Mansion, so there are now three Jiedan monks in the mansion, if Liang Cheng does it in private, even if he adds a puppet who manipulates it, his strength is still a little insufficient.
Even if these three opponents are killed after a hard battle, I am afraid that the movement will not be small, in case the incident is not confidential and the news goes, Liang Cheng knows that he will not be able to eat and walk around, so it is obviously not a good way to fight hard.
Since he is not capable of the enemy, then he should outwit it, and this kind of thing is not suitable for discussing with his staff, so in the next period of time, Liang Cheng only went to the yamen to take a look at it by chance, and he rarely went out of the mansion usually, and spent a lot of time secretly monitoring Duan Weicheng's general judgment mansion, and almost touched the activities and habits of the people in the mansion.
Liang Cheng was trying to find a suitable opportunity to uproot Duan Weicheng's forces all day long, and coincidentally, this opportunity was soon delivered to his door.
On this day, Liang Cheng was thinking about countermeasures while cultivating, and on the other hand, he was also receiving a message from those ants arranged in the Tongju Mansion, when suddenly the voice of the housekeeper Liang Shou came from outside: "Master, are you in the house?"
Liang Cheng heard the words and accepted the exercises, got up and walked out of the room, and asked, "It's Liang Shou, is something wrong?"
Liang Shou presented a glittering blue letter with both hands, and said: "This is an urgent official letter sent by Master Shu, and the old slave did not dare to delay, so he immediately sent it to the master." ”
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand to take the official letter and nodded, "Well done!"
Liang Shou saw that his master had nothing else to do, so he bowed down and retreated.
Liang Cheng turned around and returned to the house, and according to the agreed method, he entered five spiritual qi of different sizes into the specific five locations of the official letter, and the blue light on the official letter disappeared.
After the blue light disappeared, the official letter became an ordinary letter, Liang Cheng gently tore open the envelope, took out a messenger talisman from it and threw it into the air, and the talisman was windless
Burn it up.
Then Shu Tuan's frustrated voice came from the air: "City Lord, today the teleportation array reported that a suspicious person came from Yong'an City, this person is in the middle of the fusion, and now after entering the city, he is heading in the direction of the Tongju Mansion, the situation is like this, and the subordinates have finished reporting." The final content is the image of the person in the photo bead. ”
After Shu Tuan's words ended, the burning talisman projected the image of a person in the air again, and it only lasted for about two or three breaths before disappearing, but it was enough for Liang Cheng to see his face clearly.
Liang Cheng thought for a moment, immediately got up and went out, and then took up the insight Tianmu to look in the direction of the city gate, and sure enough, he saw that the person from Yong'an City was walking towards the Tongju Mansion, because Wanghai City is a small city, so there are no beast carts available, and the city is forbidden, so the monks generally use the longitudinal spell to run around the city by themselves.
However, this person probably had a self-respecting identity or plenty of time, so he didn't use any lifting spells, but just walked slowly towards the Tongju Mansion in a leisurely manner.
After Liang Cheng identified the direction, he immediately used the method of moving up and shrinking to rush towards the man as fast as possible, and changed his clothes and image along the way, and a big hat appeared on his head.
After only a short while, Liang Cheng quickly walked to the man, wearing a hat and bowing his head to the man and clenching his fist, the man was startled by Liang Cheng who suddenly appeared in front of him, stopped slightly nervously, and looked Liang Cheng up and down with a puzzled face.
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and gently lifted the hat that covered his face a little, revealing half of his face that had already changed into the image of Duan Weicheng.
When the visitor saw this face, he immediately exhaled and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be a general judge......
"Shh......h Don't speak, come with me. Liang Cheng made a silent gesture with his right index finger to his lips, then turned and walked towards an alley, not giving the man any chance to ask.
Because Liang Cheng is not too familiar with Duan Weicheng, that is, he often sees him through the perspective of ants during this time, but this guy spends most of his time sitting and cultivating, so it is difficult for Liang Cheng to have a further understanding of him.
Worried that something would go wrong with his facial expressions when he imitated him, Liang Cheng deliberately made it mysterious and tried to divert the person's attention elsewhere.
This trick really worked, and the man immediately suspected that something was wrong around him, and looked around nervously, but he didn't see anything wrong with the situation.
"What's the matter?" The man was obviously a little confused, he was stunned for a moment, but he still walked to follow, Liang Cheng saw that this person did not suspect it, but thought of himself as Duan Weicheng, and led him towards the most secluded part of the alley.
Although the man felt a little inexplicable at first, he didn't suspect fraud, and quickly caught up and walked beside Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng didn't speak, and continued to walk deeper into the alley, while opening the insight Tianmu covered by the hat, and swept around to make sure that no one could see him, then stopped and said softly: "You come here with your ears." ”
The man didn't doubt him, and immediately leaned his ear to Liang Cheng's mouth, but heard the other party laugh softly: "You have been fooled!" It didn't sound like Duan Weicheng's voice.
The man was startled, but he hadn't come yet
And how to react, suddenly felt that his heavenly spirit cover was lightly patted, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
Liang Cheng quickly took the person who was already unconscious into the small world, and then walked into a no-man's corner in the depths of the alley, separated the demon body and escaped into the small world, and unceremoniously searched the soul of the person carefully, and then turned him into ashes with a fire.
After the demon body came out of the small world and merged with the spirit body, he immediately grasped all the situation, it turned out that the person who was teleported from Yong'an City this time was named Cui Hong, a messenger in the mansion of the third prince Huyancan, who often came to Wanghai City to deliver messages, and was already familiar with the way, and Duan Weicheng also knew each other.
This time, I came to Wanghai City mainly to reply to the report of the two killers Feng Liu and Zhuo Jingtian, so that Feng Liu could recuperate from his injuries in the Tongju Mansion, and there was no need to rush back to Yong'an City, and after Feng Liu's injuries recovered, he and Zhuo Jingtian would find another opportunity to carry out the mission and assassinate Liang Cheng.
As for the fact that Liang Cheng, the city lord, might search the whole city, the third prince Hu Yancan, also gave instructions, so that they didn't need to worry, because Cui Hong had already brought two high-level stealth talismans, once activated, they could maintain their stealth state for at least two hours, which was enough to avoid searching.
It's also interesting to say, all the things on Cui Hong's body were cheaper in the end Needless to say, the two invisibility talismans he brought aroused Liang Cheng's interest.
Because Liang Cheng saw at a glance that these two talismans were specially made Tibetan talismans in Tiangang Academy, and the drawing techniques of these two talismans also made Liang Cheng have a particularly familiar feeling, and at a glance, he knew that it was from the hands of Bai Yuanqing Bai Jiaoxi in the outer courtyard, after all, when Liang Cheng was in the Tiangang Outer Courtyard, he spent a lot of spirit stones to listen to Bai Jiaoxi's lectures.
Liang Cheng thought to himself, he didn't expect that Bai Jiaoxi, the old guy, seemed to sell the Tibetan talisman to earn spirit stones, this is really a way to make money, but after thinking about it, he felt that this might also be the third prince who asked him for it, this old guy may not dare to earn the spirit stones of the three princes, after all, an outer courtyard teaching, that is not to provoke the princes.
However, Cui Hong was sent to deliver the message this time, but Liang Cheng saw an opportunity, and felt that there was an opportunity, a small plan in Liang Cheng's mind gradually took shape, and it felt good, not only did he have seventy or eighty percent hope that it would work, but even if the plan failed, Liang Cheng himself would not have any loss.
Liang Cheng smiled, gradually changed into Cui Hong's image, cleared his throat again, said a few words to himself, and confirmed that his words and deeds and pronunciation were completely consistent with that Cui Hong, and then he walked out of the alley and walked slowly towards the mansion of Lord Duan Weicheng, and his slow and leisurely appearance was the same as Cui Hong's behavior before.
However, Liang Cheng's Cui Hong seems to be leisurely, but he is actually concentrating on two things, and the picture of the ants arranged in the Tongju Mansion comes to his mind, while looking for the current location of the key people in the Tongju Mansion.
First of all, Feng Liu was lying on the couch to heal his injuries and would not move around, which was easy to determine, and secondly, Duan Weicheng was also frowning and thinking about something in his own room, and Liang Cheng ignored it for the time being.
The remaining monk Zhuo Jingtian sat in the garden with a depressed face, as if he had suffered from the grumpy Taoist again, and had nowhere to vent. I had to sit alone under the rockery in the garden and slowly calm down.
