Chapter 264 Appetizer to the Show (1)

"Eternal life." Luo Xuanyi smiled carelessly, picked up a fallen flower that flew by and crushed it gently.

"Now, you'd better capture Xu Mu and bring it to me first. When Xu Mu is captured, I will tell you how to survive."

Fei Han got up in a hurry. When he heard what Luo Xuanyi said, he was confident about the matter. He was refreshed and felt exhausted.

The only way out is to take him to escape after the matter is done. He can't escape the pursuit of the six alliances by himself, but the six alliances have not caught Luo Xuanyi so far. She must have experience in hiding.

Feeling that he was already a member of the demon sect, he showed a sinister smile.

"I will directly spread the disease and kill everyone in the town! It can be done very quickly, but they will die anyway if they find out."

Luo Xuanyi twitched her lips: "Yes, yes, but you can't do this, let the mayor Li Zhiyan do it."

"Ah," Fei Han blinked, "but you killed Li Yuanmiao. I think Li Zhiyan is scared to death now."

Luo Xuanyi's eyebrows skipped a beat. She finally knew where her familiarity with Fei Han came from. Fei Han's speech, behavior and even his character were exactly the same as those of a demon cultivator from Zang Yaozong.

No, there is still something different. The demon cultivator would not smile so stupidly, with the word "insidious" written all over his face.

"Li Zhiyan must still be in the town, just go back." Luo Xuanyi said firmly, not bothering to argue with Fei Han.

Different from the bright day in Taoyuan, the darkness shrouding Guhu Town weighed heavily on Li Zhiyan's heart. He sat at the head of the main hall, his gloomy face staring at the gorgeous carpet, motionless.

The guests and staff had already heard the news and came over, but they all stood on both sides of the main hall, looking at each other and not daring to say a word.

The torch outside the main hall swayed, and a flash of fire hurried into the main hall. It was the chief steward of the Li Mansion. He looked around to confirm that all of his people were in the main hall, and then said: "Sir, the waterside pavilion has sunk to the bottom of the lake. Everyone who is still left on the spot has died."

It’s been dealt with cleanly.”

Hearing what the steward said, one of the diners couldn't stand any longer. He hurriedly looked at Li Zhiyan: "Sir, it's better to send someone out to look for the grain officer as soon as possible!"

Seeing someone starting to speak, a few more people stood up and said, "The Grain Officer has a distinguished status. If he is taken away from our house for no apparent reason..."

"Yes, if Mr. Yu Guo finds out, it will be a big deal to lose his head..."

"Shut up!" Li Zhiyan suddenly became angry and threw the vase on the table to the ground. "Behead your head and ransack your home! We all have to die! Can I not know?!"

The roar echoed in the hall, and all the guests shut their mouths and shrank. At this moment, another burst of fire came, "Sir, the grain officer's attendants were indeed kidnapped by the thief, and the several maids and servants who accompanied him were also taken away.

Submerged in the lake."

Li Zhiyan closed his eyes and let out a breath from his nose. Hearing Li Zhiyan's order to silence Li Yuanmiao's attendants, all the guests looked horrified. No matter how stupid you are at this moment, you should understand that Li Zhiyan doesn't want people to know that Li Yuanmiao has been kidnapped.

Let’s go!

"Sir, you are confused! No one can testify at this time. What should we do if the Duke mistakenly thinks of us as the murderer?"

"Drag him down." Li Zhiyan ordered briefly with his eyes closed. The two stewards who came in to report the news looked fierce and gagged the person who had spoken. They dragged him down to the main hall and saw that he was heading towards the lake.

As if they hallucinated the sound of falling water, the diners collectively shuddered. Knowing that if they spoke against themselves again, it would be the same fate, everyone either changed their minds, or tightened their lips, and the main hall fell into silence again.

"No one says those stupid things anymore?" Li Zhiyan opened his eyes and scanned the hall, his voice low, "Then think carefully about what to do!"

Seeing that several of the diners were as silent as woodcarvings, Li Zhiyan smiled instead of getting angry and pointed casually: "Tell me, what should we do now?"

The targeted retainer was agitated. He racked his brains and stumbled: "Now... let's see if we can do the few things ordered by the Duke."

Li Zhiyan leaned forward, and his words exactly what he was thinking: "Go on."

The retainer took a deep breath. Seeing Li Zhiyan's attitude, he reluctantly calmed down and began to analyze: "The Duke of Guo asked you to appoint the leader of Guhu Town on the pretext of taking care of the property. It was just a gimmick to fool King Yu's faction. In fact, you are going to come

Do three things.”

"The first is to find an excuse to kill the pro-King Yu faction's drummers and weaken the Yu-King faction;"

"Second, find an excuse to cut off the supply of grain and grass to King Yu in the East, and collect the grain and grass into private treasury as much as possible;"

"Third, and the most important thing to the Duke of Guo, is to seize the eyes that live in the twelve towering cloud mountains. This matter is related to the great cause of the Duke of Guo, and there must be no mistakes."

"The first two points can be attributed to the arrest of Xu Mu, killing the people in the town with Xu Mu, and then falsely claiming that the fields were also contaminated by the disease, and the food and grass were only enough to supply Yongding City and other cities in Zhongzhou. I guess the royal family and those big families are not the same.

I will be willing to share my own rations and give them to the Eastern Territory."

Li Zhiyan nodded, but his expression was still solemn. He knew that the most important thing was not the first two points, and the guests also understood.

"The Grain Officer is the brother of the Duke of Guo. Being arrested from our house will definitely arouse the Duke of Guo's wrath. But if we present the catkins, maybe the Duke of Guo will still listen to you. When the time comes, I will say...

…then he said…”

The staff on the side interrupted: "They said that the Grain Officer had already left Guhu Town with his troops and horses after the banquet. We don't know where the Grain Officer is! Even if the Duke doesn't believe it, we will show it by presenting the catkins.

It can be regarded as a sign of loyalty. It is the time for the Duke of Guo to employ people, so he will definitely not liquidate us immediately!"

It seemed like a feasible strategy, but Li Zhiyan looked away and sighed heavily.

"It's a pity that Fei Xianren and his magic weapon were also captured by the thief. How can we mortals catch the beast?"

The fire outside the hall flashed again, and a surprised cry came from a distance: "Master, the immortal is back!"
