Chapter 164: Stupid officials open their mouths and the capital runs away
"hehe……"
Xiao Yu suddenly laughed.
"Wasteful person?"
He glanced at Chu Xuanyi.
"An empty shell?"
His gaze fell on Ajiu again, and his cold eyes softened a little.
"very good."
He turned and faced the door.
"Xuan Yi, tell me, since they set up this dragnet, why... did they deliberately leave clues for an idiot like Censor Qian to discover? Why did they even let Ah Jiu 'see' all this in her dream?"
This question left everyone stunned.
Yes, they acted so carefully, why would they do this?
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Xuanyi's eyes, and he instantly understood what Xiao Yu meant!
"It's a trap!" he blurted out. "They... they did it on purpose! They're luring you in!"
"Go on."
"West Mountain... The West Mountain mine must be heavily guarded and full of traps! If Your Highness leads the army with the force of thunder and lightning and forcibly 'massacres the mountain'... we will inevitably fall into a... brutal bloody battle!" Chu Xuanyi's breathing became rapid again.
"And the more people die...! The more blood is shed...! The more resentment and evil energy generated... the heavier it becomes!"
"These... all of these will become... nourishment for the 'Reversal of the Seven-Star Soul-Locking Formation'! Accelerate... accelerate the completion of the ritual! Accelerate... the awakening of the Netherworld Heart!"
"They don't want to stop you...but to use you!"
"Use your...army! Use your...carnage! To complete their...final sacrifice!"
Overt conspiracy!
This is a naked conspiracy that is not afraid of being seen through by you!
You know it's a trap, but you have to go!
Because, you don’t have time!
You can only watch helplessly as you step into the flesh-and-blood grindstone they have prepared for you!
"Oh……"
After hearing this, Xiao Yu's sneer widened.
"Want to use me?"
"Are they worthy?"
He turned slowly, and his cold phoenix eyes swept over everyone present.
Yun Shen, Ling Zhu, and other disciples of the Imperial Master trembled all over when they were swept by his gaze!
"Xuan Yi!"
"I'm here!"
"Pass the order! Change 'slaughter the mountain' to 'surround the mountain'!"
"Order the main force of the Black Armor Army to surround the entire West Mountain, a thirty-mile radius, like an iron barrel within a quarter of an hour! Not even a fly can escape!"
"Anyone who dares to go up the mountain without permission will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" Although Xuan Yi was puzzled, he immediately obeyed the order!
"Yun Shen!"
"The students are here!" Yun Shen hurriedly stepped forward.
"You, and you all," Xiao Yu pointed at the other disciples, "follow me, and go together."
"What?!" The disciples were shocked.
"Your Highness!" Chu Xuanyi was also anxious, "No! Their cultivation is still shallow..."
"Their cultivation is still shallow, but they each have their strengths." Xiao Yu interrupted him, "This king does not need them to charge into battle."
His gaze fell on Yun Shen.
"You can sense the flow of the formation and find the damn core of the ritual for me."
He looked at Lingzhu again.
"You are well versed in herbal medicine. Please help me identify the poisonous miasma and fog in the mountains."
His eyes swept over the remaining disciples.
"As for you, setting up formations, drawing talismans, and divination... give me all those random things you learned in the observatory and use them!"
"What this king wants is not a large army."
"It's a sharp knife that can be accurately inserted into the enemy's heart!"
"This king, personally, made the tip of this knife!"
Everyone was shocked by Xiao Yu's words!
He actually wanted to give up the advantage of a large army and only bring a few weak warlocks to brave the dangerous and dangerous place?!
This...how crazy and confident this is!
"Xuan Yi."
Finally, Xiao Yu looked at Chu Xuanyi lying on the bed.
This was the first and last time he showed any emotion that was not that of a regent.
That is a kind of entrustment.
One is the trust between comrades-in-arms.
"For me..."
He glanced at the little girl on the bed who was still murmuring in pain, "Brother Xiongxiong."
"… Protect her."
Chu Xuanyi met his gaze and nodded heavily with all his strength.
"Your Majesty..."
"... Make sure... to come back alive."
"That's natural."
Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze, and his handsome face once again regained the coldness and indifference that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Without looking at anyone, he strode out the door.
"Xuan Yi, Yun Shen, follow."
Beijing, Yuelai Teahouse.
This was originally a place where scholars, businessmen and wealthy people would drink tea, listen to music and chat.
But today, the lobby of this teahouse was surrounded by a group of peddlers and vendors, making it impossible to get in or out!
And in the center of this circle of people, the one who was spitting, dancing, and telling stories with great joy was not a storyteller, but our man who had just "accomplished extraordinary deeds"... Censor Qian, Lord Qian.
"Hey, you don't know!"
Censor Qian slammed the gavel—actually the table—so hard that his palms ached, but he still held on, looking mysterious.
"The Prince Yu's Mansion, on the surface, is magnificent and splendid with carved beams and painted buildings! But who could have imagined that beneath the ground, there lay a demonic cave...a path to the eighteen levels of hell!"
He lowered his voice, his face showing fear and... a little bit of pride.
The people around suddenly gasped!
"Devil's den? Mr. Qian, please tell me quickly, what is going on?" An aunt selling vegetables asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, yes! We all heard that you single-handedly broke into the tunnel of Prince Yu's Mansion and fought with monsters for three hundred rounds!" A butcher waved his greasy fist, his face full of admiration.
“Ahem!”
Censor Qian cleared his throat, and was obviously very pleased with the statement of "fighting for three hundred rounds".
He stroked his sparse goatee.
"Three hundred rounds is a bit exaggerated. But... the danger is even worse than before!"
He picked up the teacup and took a sip in a pretended deep manner.
"Thinking back to that day, I was ordered by His Royal Highness the Regent to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to investigate a major case! As soon as I entered, I felt something was amiss!"
"What's wrong?" everyone asked.
"Demonic energy!" Censor Qian lowered his voice and spoke firmly, "A demonic energy rising to the sky! Ordinary people naturally cannot detect it. But I am the incarnation of Wenquxing, born with a pair of piercing eyes. How could I be deceived by such a mere deception?"
Everyone immediately exclaimed "Wow" and looked at him with even more admiration.
"I remained silent and explored the mansion. Finally, I found a clue near a dry well! What was emanating from that well wasn't vapor, but... a ghostly aura that could freeze a person's soul to death!"
"I knew there was something fishy going on down there! So, I made up my mind, closed my eyes, shouted 'For Dayan, for the people,' and jumped down!"
What he said was so passionate and righteous!
He completely forgot that he was kicked down by the Regent's personal guards.
