Yang Ji stood in the crowd, no one noticed, and became an invisible "hero".
Yang Ji took credit for this action. However, Yang Ji was not prepared to expose himself in front of this group of sect masters.
"This is?"
While he was looking around, Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and he faintly saw a dark corner in the distance, a white shadow flashing past, chasing the newly appointed "General Langya".
"It seems to be the white fox."
Yang Ji's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
He had seen it once in the Hall of Heroes, but why did it appear here again at this time?
"Is it a monster?"
Yang Ji secretly shook his head. The distance was too far and it was late at night, so he couldn't confirm whether what he saw was the white fox.
"strangeness?"
Suddenly a familiar voice came. Yang Ji came back to his senses and followed the sound. He saw Fang Bai coming out of the cellar at some point. He was lowering his head and looking for something everywhere.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Ji said in surprise.
"hey-hey."
Fang Bai raised his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just lost something. I'm just looking for it."
"oh?"
Yang Ji said "Oh" and didn't care. He only heard Fang Bai's low voice saying:
"It's strange, I clearly remember it being in this area!"
"Buzz!"
Yang Ji's heart trembled, and he suddenly understood what Fang Bai was looking for.
"Dark Iron Blood Magic Ring, he is also looking for that ring!"
In the flash of lightning, a thought flashed through Yang Ji's mind. The thumb spanner worn on the finger of the leader of the men in black could hide it from others, but it could not hide it from Fang Bai who was in the same room with Yang Ji.
Yang Ji noticed the "ring ring" lost by the leader of the men in black, and Fang Bai obviously noticed it too.
"Senior Brother Jiang."
Yang Ji called out, put away the ring in his sleeve, and walked quickly to Jiang Jianqing who was standing aside. There, Jiang Jianqing was waiting for the old shopkeeper to see him off...
…
The entire house, including the courtyard, is the property of the Iron Crown Sect.
The disciples from various sects finally left. Fang Bai searched several times but found nothing, and finally had to give up the idea of looking for the "Black Iron Wrench".
"Junior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Chen. Now we can finally tell what is in that shaft cylinder. A small official actually caused such a big battle, and even made these guys dispatch three small Zhou Tian strongmen.
The one who wants to silence us... I am really too curious."
Fang Bai opened his mouth and said.
Yang Ji and Chen Shien have always been mysterious and mysterious. Due to Chen Shien's identity and status, it was difficult for him to ask questions. But now that he knows everything, it is different.
"Yeah. I'm curious about this too. And, Junior Brother Yang, how on earth do you know?"
Jiang Jianqingdao.
He was an upright person and rarely inquired about such information. But now he really couldn't help it. Yang Ji and Chen Shi'en were too secretive. Even their senior brothers and junior brothers had hidden it.
"Is that what you're talking about?"
Chen Shien smiled and took out something from his sleeve.
"Axle barrel?!"
Fang Bai and Jiang Jianqing whispered with surprise on their faces: "Elder brother, you didn't hand it over to General Langya?"
Both of them thought that Chen Shien had handed this thing to General Langya when he returned the prisoners, but they didn't expect that he still kept it.
"If you want to see it, let me show it to you."
Chen Shien smiled and threw the shaft barrel over.
The two of them were shocked and confused. They unscrewed the lid and poured out the contents.
"This... is a landscape painting?"
Fang Bai frowned and said with confusion:
"Is this what Kanehara left behind? Isn't it a letter? Is it a secret hidden in the painting?"
Jiang Jianqing also took the scroll and looked through it carefully, but also couldn't figure it out.
"Haha, what kind of painting hides a secret? This is just an ordinary landscape painting. There is no secret at all. For more details, you should ask Junior Brother Yang."
Chen Shien smiled.
Although everyone respected him tonight and regarded him as the protagonist, only Chen Shien knew that in fact all this was due to Yang Ji.
If it weren't for Yang Ji's advice, this imperial conquest would never have been so smooth. I believe that the elders of the sect would also be happy with this news.
"There are no letters from Jin Yuan here at all, it's all just a trap!"
Yang Ji said calmly. The first sentence made everyone stunned.
"How...how is it possible?"
Fang Bai looked stunned:
"Jin Yuan clearly left a letter at Qingyun Bookstore. The old shopkeeper also admitted it and took out the seal cylinder?"
"Yes! I was there at the time. Although the old shopkeeper denied it the first time, didn't he hide it from you later?"
Jiang Jianqing was also surprised.
Both of them had always thought that Yang Ji really got the letter that Jin Yuan left at Qingyun Bookstore. Even the men in black obviously thought so. But now Yang Ji actually said that there was no letter at all.
"Jin Yuan did leave a letter, but it should have been destroyed at that time. As for the second letter from Qingyun Bookstore..., it was just a temporary fabrication that I had an idea to lure these men in black."
There was no wave of emotion on Yang Ji's face.
"!!!"
Fang Bai and Jiang Jianqing looked at Yang Ji, dumbfounded. There was nothing! Yang Ji had even hidden it from them.
"As for the reason why the old shopkeeper took out this shaft sealing cylinder at that time, it was only because I asked him to do it. I told him at that time that if he asked him to pick up a shaft cylinder, I would buy it. The old shopkeeper just listened to me
It’s just an order.”
Yang Ji said calmly.
The whole thing is not complicated. If you don't know anything about it, trying to find a "murderer" is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And you only have three days.
So Yang Ji made an impromptu move and designed Jin Yuan to make second-hand preparations, leaving a second letter at the Qingyun Bookstore he frequented.
Those "murderers" would never have thought that Kanehara had another hand. As long as they wanted to kill people and silence them and keep secrets, they would not be able to avoid taking the bait.
"Finding a needle in a haystack" is never as good as "waiting for the rabbit". This is Yang Ji's plan. As for Fang Bai, Jiang Jianqing and others..., the fewer people who know about it, the better of course.
If even Fang Bai and Jiang Jianqing believed it, what reason would outsiders have to doubt it?
"Okay! Junior Brother Yang asked me about this at the time, and I agreed. As long as you can live up to the sect's burden and complete the imperial court's orders, other things are irrelevant and trivial."
Chen Shien said with finality.
As soon as he opened his mouth, even if others complained, they had nothing to say.
call!
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of wind, and a figure rushed in quickly in the dark night.
"Senior Brother Chen, have you caught him?"
Meng Shenji arrived late and glanced at the traces of the battle in the courtyard.
The few people who were talking immediately closed their eyes and spoke in Chinese, and the atmosphere became much colder. During the day, Meng Shenji slapped the table and left, and he did not participate in the evening operations at all.
It was only now that the battle was over and everything was settled, that he slowly rushed over.
"Hey, Senior Brother Meng, you came really fast!"
Fang Bai stepped forward and said sarcastically:
"It's not dark yet. Senior Brother Meng might as well go back and sleep in his cage before coming back."
"Huh! I don't talk to spies."
Meng Shenji snorted coldly.
"you!"
Fang Bai was furious and stretched out one hand towards the long sword on his waist.
"One move and you're dead."
Meng Shenji sneered. Although they were in the same realm, Fang Bai was more than a little behind him in terms of combat ability.
Yang Ji watched coldly. Seeing the two men at war with each other, a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"enough!"
Chen Shi'en shouted sharply. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Meng Shenji's unsociability, as the person in charge of this operation, he must maintain the unity among his fellow sects.
"Junior Brother Meng, you are here just in time. There are some things that I want to talk to you about. - Fang Bai, put away your sword."
Chen Shien frowned and said.
Ever since they were attacked by people from the Tianyin Sect deep in the mountains, the two people seemed to be at odds with each other. They were hostile to each other and always opposed each other.
"Junior Brother Jiang, please tell Junior Brother Meng what happened this time first."
Chen Shi'en looked at Jiang Jianqing aside and said. Among these people, Jiang Jianqing and Meng Shenji are probably the only ones who don't have any major conflicts.
"Senior Brother Meng, this is what happened..."
Jiang Jianqing quickly told what happened.
"Everyone was sweating over this matter. Fortunately, we passed without any danger. However, it is far from time to relax."
Chen Shien glanced at everyone and said solemnly.
"Ah? Why?"
Fang Bai said with a surprised look.
"This new General Langya is unpredictable and no one understands it. I originally thought this matter should be resolved, but judging from what he said tonight, I'm afraid it's not over yet."
Chen Shien said with a thoughtful look on his face.
Yang Ji's brows twitched, vaguely guessing what Chen Shi'en wanted to say.
"Senior Brother Chen, what do you mean?"
Jiang Jianqing looked surprised.
"Junior Brother Meng is not here, but you are here. Do you still remember what General Langya said when he appeared, 'these evil cults'..."
Before Chen Shien finished speaking, Jiang Jianqing and others immediately shouted in low voices.
They were still immersed in the joy of catching the murderer before and didn't think about it so much. At this time, they were reminded by Chen Shi'en and they understood something.
"I remember on the way here. I mentioned to you that the opponent we face this time may be the Tianyin Sect. But judging from what the new general said, this is no longer possible, but a certainty. I feel,
Although he has just taken office, he may know more about the situation here than we think."
Chen Shi'en said.
Thinking of the scene when General Langya cruelly crushed the head of the leader of the men in black, Chen Shien still felt numb and shuddering in his heart.
This kind of harsh general is the most feared existence of any sect. No sect dares to do tricks under the eyes of this general.
"When everyone goes back, make more preparations. I have a feeling that what happened this time is just the beginning. What happened tonight is far from over!"
Chen Shien said in a deep voice.
The intuition of a strong person is always terrifying, and he has a keen sense of things that have not happened yet.
As soon as Chen Shien finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent, and even Yang Ji fell silent for a long time.
When it comes to matters related to cults, no one feels relaxed. Especially Yang Ji thinks of the three Xiao Zhoutian-level masters in black.
When he was in Pingchuan City, he had never encountered a Tianyin Sect master at the level of Xiao Zhoutian.
It is possible to dispatch three "Little Zhou Tian" strong men in one assassination, and there is also a "Black Iron Blood Magical Artifact" that even Song Yi does not have... The Tianyin Sect is so large and powerful that I am afraid that
Far beyond everyone's expectations.
Yang Ji has a feeling that Chen Shien may be too conservative. This time the imperial order task will be very difficult in the hands of the newly appointed General Langya. (To be continued...)
