Chapter 69 Lies come out of his mouth
"You guys, keep a close eye on these people and don't let them go to inform others." Li Yi pointed to the guards in Lingquan Town and said to the officers and soldiers behind him.
Li Yi has worked under Yang Kuan for several years. At the beginning, it was quite normal. Cases reported by the people would be handed over to him one after another. However, in the past year, Li Yi has not received any cases.
Thinking of Yang Kuan's abnormal behavior, combined with the missing woman case in Lingquan Town, it is difficult for Li Yi not to connect these two things together.
The worst result is that Yang Kuan abuses his power and joins hands with evil people to oppress the people.
In order to prevent someone from informing the evildoers, Li Yi specifically instructed them to keep a close eye on them.
"Little brother, please lead the way."
"Okay, sir, please follow me." Shen Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yi's brain is quite smart, and it is much easier to work with him.
Shen Qingtang followed the route in her memory and led Li Yi and others to the mountain quietly.
Li Yi handled things quickly. It didn't take much time from discovering the case to handling it. Those who were hiding in the mountains and doing evil had no time to receive the news.
Shen Qingtang took them to hide in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain.
She pointed to the green mountain that looked ordinary.
"Sir, this is the mountain. We can't go any further. If we run into a formation, our whereabouts will be discovered."
"I didn't look carefully last time, but roughly speaking, there should be dozens of them."
"Little brother, thank you for leading us." Li Yi said politely.
"What's there to thank for? It's just a piece of cake, and I want to save them too." Shen Qingtang glanced at Li Yi.
"There was an old lady who was very kind to me before, but her granddaughter was captured a few days ago. I promised the old lady that I would definitely save her granddaughter."
"Sir, can I go up with you?" She asked cautiously.
Li Yi patted Shen Qingtang on the shoulder: "You look thin and small, but I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person. Okay, let's go up together."
"What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Ye Qing."
"Ye Qing, your cultivation is not too bad, but it's not high either. If you encounter danger later, just run away, understand?" Li Yi said concernedly.
Shen Qingtang felt warm in his heart, "Yes, sir, I understand."
"Sir, you are a good official." Shen Qingtang praised sincerely.
This sentence was very useful to Li Yi, and he smiled and said: "It is our duty to protect you."
At this moment, Shen Qingtang suddenly thought of Lu Jiuan.
She asked unconsciously, "Sir, if a war breaks out one day, what will you do?"
Li Yi blurted out, "We will defend Yun County to the death."
Shen Qingtang's nose felt a little sour, and it was the same answer as Lu Jiuan's.
Li Yi didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually chatted with this kid.
Li Yi took a step forward and looked up at the high mountain opposite.
"You said there is a formation here?"
"Yes." Shen Qingtang nodded.
Li Yi waved to a person beside him, "Jiang Wen, go and see what kind of formation this is."
"It would be better if we could get in without anyone noticing."
Shen Qingtang thought so too. Li Yi brought a lot of people with him. If possible, she hoped to catch all the other people in one fell swoop.
After a while, Jiang Wen came back from outside.
He frowned: "Sir, this should be a high-level hidden formation that can cover up the real situation inside."
"So, can you find a way to get in?" Li Yi asked.
Jiang Wen shook his head with a tangled look on his face: "No, although I can judge the type of formation, I can't be sure which kind of hidden formation this is. The layout of each formation is different, and it takes a certain amount of time to break the formation."
"According to what you said, we can only force our way in?" Li Yi didn't want to do this in his heart.
"We can't force our way in. This will alert the enemy. Their methods are cruel. What if they find out that their whereabouts are exposed and they kill those girls directly?" Shen Qingtang stopped him.
This is indeed a big problem.
Li Yi sighed and said to Jiang Wen: "What kind of hidden formation do you think this formation is more like? At this point, we can only give it a try."
"Sir, I'll take a closer look."
Jiang Wen broke out in a cold sweat. The pressure on him was too great. If he made a mistake in his judgment, it might lead to the tragic death of those girls.
After a while, Jiang Wen came back, but his expression was more tangled than before.
"How is it, is there any clue?" Li Yi asked.
"There are some clues." Jiang Wen paused, "But I only saw that formation once in a book before, but now I can't remember it clearly."
"To make sure everything is safe, why don't I look through the book now?"
"How long will it take you to find it?" Li Wen couldn't wait any longer. If
time is delayed for a long time, maybe the people inside will receive the news.
"It's uncertain. If it's fast, it can be solved within half an hour. If it's slow..."
Shen Qingtang: ...
This work efficiency is really too slow.
"Master Jiang, can you tell me what the formation looks like? Maybe I can help a little."
Jiang Wen glanced at Shen Qingtang. He didn't think Shen Qingtang was better than him.
But anyway, he had to draw the formation, so he told her about it.
"Okay, come and take a look."
Jiang Wen used magic to roughly draw the appearance of the formation in the air. He couldn't remember some of the details clearly.
Although Li Yi was not proficient in formations, he could still understand some of it.
After finishing the drawing, Jiang Wen took out a book about formations and started reading it. He had to hurry up.
Shen Qingtang began to search for memories related to hidden formations in her mind based on the formation prototype drawn by Jiang Wen. After a moment, she said calmly: "Master Jiang, I know how this formation works."
Jiang Wen's hand holding the book trembled slightly, and then he turned around and looked at Shen Qingtang in surprise: "What? You know it so quickly?"
This is a high-level hidden formation. How could an ordinary person know it? He didn't believe it.
In front of everyone, Shen Qingtang used magic to complete the formation that Jiang Wen had just drawn.
"How about it, Master Jiang, is this it?"
Jiang Wen's jaw dropped in surprise, "Little brother Ye Qing, you are too amazing! You even know this?!"
"My family specializes in formations, so I know something." Shen Qingtang lied without blushing or beating his heart.
