Chapter 141: Temptation
After leaving the council hall and going to Guò Square, he arrived at a relatively secluded place, and after there was no obvious secret sentinel watching, Bai Shou slowed down and whispered to Wan Peng, "This city lord is tired. Many of his words and movements are different from the habits of the people in the administrative agencies, and you don't see it much, so it may not be very sensitive, but I feel different. And that middle-aged man, on the contrary, is more like a real city lord. Also, from his previous appearance, I think that he knows the whereabouts of your friend, and not only knows, but also hides something. ”
Wan Peng nodded in agreement, "I do feel that way. And, judging by some indications, it seems that they have been keeping an eye on us since they entered the city. These people all have the spiritual power fluctuations of cultivators, but the way of fluctuation is different from ours, and I can't be sure of their cultivation. It seems that we have to find a way to test it. ”
Bai Shou didn't seem to object, but he didn't answer right away. Indeed, he is the head of a village, and Wan Peng's temptation, if exposed, will bring unnecessary threats to the villagers. After going so far, Bugaro City has always been a goal for the villagers, and now that it has arrived, the spirit is naturally a lot more relaxed, and it is not a good thing if there are any more branches.
Wan Peng also seemed to think of this, "Don't worry, the village chief, I won't bring the villagers in." ”
Bai Shou was about to say something, but he saw several people in front of him, and walked inside with a captured person. The appearance of this person dispelled a doubt. Because, the captured person, while being dragged around, shouted in his mouth that he was a person who was Lord Murong, and arresting him was tantamount to rebellion.
From this alone, it is enough to show that these strange people in the city are not on the same front at all as Murong's side.
Back at the inn, Wan Peng locked himself in the room, thinking about how to test the information effectively. He decided that he still had to go out and walk around. At present, there are no restrictions on entering and leaving the city, and maybe after someone leaves the city, they can tell themselves more content.
With this in mind, he tidied up his outfit and went out of town alone.
The area outside the inner walls was empty, and there was not even a place to tidy up the fields. After leaving the city gate, Wan Peng went all the way out, stopped outside the outer wall, and walked slowly along the wall.
There are obvious traces of battles in some parts of the city wall, but on the whole, more of them were left by wild beasts. From this, Wan Peng also judged that there was once a beast siege here. So, could it be these people who relieved the siege of the city and changed the city to the owner?
Liyang also has no clear explanation for this. In the past few days, there has been very little communication between Wan Peng and Liyang, because it will also produce a small amount of spiritual power fluctuations, which is not safe. Liyang also agreed with Wan Peng's temptation, but he couldn't give a specific method. Because, the spiritual power of these people fluctuated, he couldn't judge which category they belonged to, whether it was with cultivators or demons, they were all very different.
Wan Peng must now determine how strong the spiritual power fluctuations will be detected by them. Seeing that there was no one around, he pinched the trick.
Condensation.
A cloud of mist formed on his hand, and the spiritual power fluctuations caused by it quickly spread outward. And he had already cast a retreat, retreating more than a dozen feet, and a few ups and downs disappeared behind a mess of rocks.
The spiritual power fluctuations of this spell belong to the regular spiritual power fluctuations emitted by Wanpeng when attacking and defending, and the intensity is medium. After no more than half a pillar of incense, a team came out of the city gate, and very carefully probed the place where Wan Peng had just used the magic outside the city gate, and after no result, he returned to the city gate.
The speed with which they came surprised Wan Peng. From this point alone, they have a very good recognition of spiritual power fluctuations, and they have been really in a state of preparation. But why are these people so sensitive to spiritual fluctuations? Aren't they themselves with such fluctuations? Moreover, how do they recognize the different fluctuations between friend and foe?
Wan Peng observed for a while, making sure that no one was watching the neighborhood, and several more winds appeared in another position under the outer wall.
He weakened his spiritual power fluctuations again, and then continued to travel to the walled city, squatting on the edge of a field, pretending to observe the crops, and paying attention to the movements in the city.
Similar to last time, another team came out in an orderly manner, although there was alarm in Wan Peng's eyes when he found it, but he didn't pay attention to it, but went out of the city to investigate.
This fluctuation is the smallest fluctuation of strength that Wan Peng needs to launch an attack. In this way, Wan Peng came to a conclusion that if there was a fight, he could not use his spiritual power to attack and defend without knowing the details. This is indeed a very uncomfortable thing for him.
Try twice in a row, I'm afraid that the guards' attention to spiritual power fluctuations is already extremely high, and it is easy to get into trouble if you try again. Wan Peng pretended to collect several crops and walked towards the city.
As soon as he passed through the city gate, he felt a wave of spiritual power coming from behind him. This fluctuation was significantly stronger than the usual fluctuations of these people, which made him feel a kind of alertness in battle. However, at this time, he could not appear to be aware at all, because it was difficult to say whether this was a temptation to him.
I was thinking about how to avoid danger, and it happened that there was a bump in the road. Wan Peng stepped into it like a savior, and then twisted his body and fell down very realistically, even the plant in his hand fell to the ground.
The moment he fell, he clearly felt a cool breath passing over his shoulder. This cool air is very weak, and even if it is hit, it will not cause any damage, and it is obviously a tentative attack. Wan Peng acted as if it was nothing, scolded two words of bad luck, picked up the plant and continued to move forward.
The people behind didn't seem to want to stop, and one after another, a total of five attempts. Wan Peng no longer dodges at this time, let it be, hide if he can, and suffer if he doesn't. The next four times, the first two times were a little cold after being hit, and the third time he turned to avoid it, and the fourth time, it was really a little bit of a slight pain.
Since it hurt, Wan Peng also stopped, as if he had been bitten by something, and carefully looked through his clothes. Fortunately, at this time, he had already arrived near the inn, and after a few steps, he entered the lobby and returned to the house under the gaze of everyone.
Closing the door, Wan Peng immediately checked his shoulder. Fortunately, it is indeed a temptation, there is no external injury, and the overall internal environment is still stable. When he went out today, he also felt a little afraid.
Chamber of the City of Bougalo.
The city lord and the scar man Hu Ba were in this hall, looking very deserted. Hu Ba was currently standing below, reporting to the city lord who was sitting there. "I went to test that Wanpeng. It feels like it's not simple. ”
The city lord immediately became interested, "Why isn't it a simple method?"
After a brief retelling, the city lord looked pensive. After a long time, Hu Ba saw that he came back to his senses, and then said, "This Wan Peng, the first fall is very strange." If he doesn't know how to use and perceive spiritual power, he should have a good cultivation of physical fitness, and he shouldn't fall down because of such a small pit. I had the feeling that he was deliberately dodging. After learning that he was being tempted, he was relieved to withstand the attack from behind. In other words, he is also tempting us. ”
The city lord nodded, "That's right. Today, there were also two abnormal spiritual power fluctuations outside the city, and our guards went out of the city in time to check, but there was no abnormality. Judging from the time, Wan Peng was also outside the city at that time. ”
Hu Ba frowned slightly. "If that's the case, is it necessary to get rid of him directly?"
The lord shook his head. "We don't know the depth of Wan Peng. Whether it's an enemy or not, we don't know. If you are not an enemy, you are making an enemy. If he is the victim of the temptation outside the city, and he is willing to bear your temptation, it means that he does not know where we came from. ”
"But after all, what if it's their people chasing after them, what if this team is the vanguard?" Hu Ba was obviously very worried.
The lord shook his head. "No way. If you want to chase, you have to chase it from the polar regions, how can you chase it from the direction of Shuiqing City. Chasing us must be urgent, and if there are clues, it is definitely a shortcut. Oh yes, what kind of meticulous person who caught that Lord Murong, how did the trial go?"
Hu Ba snorted, "It's been tried." Lord Murong is in charge of the power of the Jiangzhou Continent, especially the military power. As for why he was stalking, this kid had a very hard mouth, and in the end, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. ”
The city lord didn't make any comments, but there was a slight displeasure on his face. Hu Ba said again, "There are two more things that you need to decide. One thing is the management of the city of Bugaro. The old fox of ibuprofen, although he submits to us now, but once we really leave, he will undoubtedly rebel, and our back road will be cut off. However, the conditions in the city of Bugaro are too poor, and if we want to develop, we must advance inland. I've looked at a few local city lord candidates, and three of them, seem to be available, and I'll give you the list back. It's just that it will take time for the elimination of ibuprofen. ”
The city lord nodded, "There is no urgency in this matter. What about the other one?"
Hu Ba took a deep breath, "The second thing is to recruit relatives through martial arts competitions." We have already issued a city-wide notice, and now that the time is approaching, whether it will be held as scheduled or not is also related to the trust of ordinary residents in the city. It's just that the current situation in the city is tense, and I'm not sure whether the rest of the ibuprofen party will take the opportunity to start a riot. Including that Wan Peng, it is not clear whether it has anything to do with this matter. ”
When it came to recruiting relatives in the competition, the city lord smiled. "Thinking that the rest of the ibuprofen party does not have the courage to start a big mess in this kind of heightened vigilance, as for small fights, as long as we control them properly, they will only increase our prestige. As for Wan Peng...... "He also seems to have concerns," the friend he described sounded very similar to Xie Ting's appearance. ”
Hu Ba also agreed, "That's why I asked you how to arrange it." ”
The city lord hesitated for a while as if he had made up his mind, and then said slowly, "According to the plan, strengthen your vigilance." Guangfa recruited relatives to monitor Wan Peng and his team. ”
Hu Ba said he understood and stepped back directly.
The city lord himself was stunned for a long time, and took a deep breath, "Even if that Wanpeng really came for Xie Ting, I don't believe it, it can be my opponent Ren Qianqiu!" After speaking, the teacup in his hand was crushed.
