Chapter 97
Although Lu Jiu wanted to know who was sitting in the carriage or where it would take Tang Jingyi, the dim light in the dark candle stopped him.
There was no way. Even if he was just watching, Lu Jiu could still notice the powerful aura that flashed through the Semen. Once he did not have the ability to protect Mingzhu, the latter would probably notice his existence as soon as possible.
After the period after the use of Mingzhu, his body will be transformed from virtual to real. This state will have a significant impact on the human body. Lu Jiu doesn't want to deal with a person who has at least completed the spiritual awakening level at this time, let alone this guy's strength is far from comparable to that of a semi-mechanical puppet!
It was already early in the morning when I returned to my house. The green-eyed cat was still staying in the courtyard, as if it had not left since before, while Liuli was lying in the lounge chair, as if she had fallen asleep.
“How is the situation?”
When he saw Lu Jiu enter the door, the voice of the blue-eyed cat immediately rang in the former's mind.
"Ha, didn't you see it?"
Lu Jiu's eyes flashed and he did not answer directly. He knew that the green-eyed cat was definitely nearby just now, but he was not sure how much this guy heard.
"Boy, there is no need to test me. Although my eyesight is normal in this state, my hearing is only average, and my ability of Xu Ling is also limited. I haven't heard much of the conversation between you and Tang Jingyi."
"The Criminal raided Shexiang Town for a thing called a pendant. It seemed that it involved a snake demon who was regarded as a spirit beast protecting the town. As for the Semen people who appeared behind me, I don't know. Tang Jingyi seemed to know him, otherwise he wouldn't say that to the old housekeeper. I wanted to follow up and take a look, but the conditions would not allow it."
He simply repeated what happened at that time. Lu Jiu seemed to have not concealed anything, and then asked,
"Do you think this information will be helpful to another person you found the prison?"
"Of course, three years ago, the Criminal Prison did not leave directly after committing a massacre in Shexiang Town, but went to Lianfeng Mountains. There is naturally a reason for this... The Dragon Pendant, the key is that the people in the Criminal Prison did not really get it, or could not completely control it... Boy, you continue to practice the trick I taught you just now, and I have to go out and find out the situation."
The green-eyed cat seemed to have learned something from the message given by Lu Jiu, and left the courtyard with a word.
Lu Jiu looked at the green-eyed cat's back and had no intention of keeping it. He did not expect to know the plan of the strange cat with these two information.
Grasp the wooden stick leaning against the pillar and walk into the yard, posing an awkward starting position on your own. The wooden stick in your hand is inserted into your waist like a long sword, swinging your shoulders and waist from time to time, adjusting, and maintaining a posture that is still moving with your right hand.
Suddenly, the night wind blew down the leaves of a jujube tree outside the courtyard wall and fell to Lu Jiu.
call out!
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Jiu's right arm moved, but the moment the wooden stick was thrown out, it suddenly stopped and still flew away from the leaves.
The reason is very simple, the action is wrong.
When teaching this move, the Blue-Eyed Cat decomposed the movements very carefully. Based on Lu Jiu's memory, he practiced it a few times and then mastered the order. However, after he tried to connect these movements together and accelerated them as much as he could, he got the result he did not want.
Of course, Lu Jiu was not discouraged by a failure, returned to his previous posture and continued to adjust his own state.
Half-closed his eyes, his eyes wandered around the courtyard wall, and turned to look at the recliner, and Liuli disappeared.
"Are it really not heard, or is it testing me..."
Putting down the wooden stick in his hand, Lu Jiu let out a long sigh and murmured to himself.
He revealed the conversation between himself and Tang Jingyi without hiding it at all. This is the fact, but don’t forget that the Semi-Man also said before taking Tang Jingyi away, but the two of them deliberately lowered their voices, so it was difficult to hear clearly.
Lu Jiu deliberately did not mention this, just to test how far the Blue-eyed Cat could do. Who knew that it left without asking.
Lu Jiu, a few meters away, naturally heard what the Semu people said.
"The prince has something to invite him!"
This is all.
The token Lu Jiu also saw it clearly with the street lights. It was as gold as the base, the border was extremely exquisite, and four big characters were engraved on the front: Zhenxi Wangfu!
The weight of these four words is even Lu Jiu's predecessor who is in a county like Qingding City, knows how heavy it is!
The government or court of the Shuoming Empire was naturally the current royal family at the peak of power, and under the royal family were the vassal kings guarding the various parts of the empire, and the King of Zhenxi was even more famous.
The token taken out by Semi Man did not have the possibility of fakeness, otherwise Tang Jingyi's expression would not be so surprised, which means that the prince he mentioned was most likely to be in Qingding City.
This is undoubtedly an extremely important message for Lu Jiu. When the Blue-Eyed Cat asked about it just now, he deliberately concealed it, putting aside his idea of trying to test the latter, and naturally there was also the intention to treat this discovery as a secret.
If it were normal actions, as the prince of Zhenxi, he would probably be welcomed by the local government on the first day he arrived in Qingding City with the method of "gongs and drums and firecrackers are ringing". Not only did he not do this, he also acted in this hidden way. I think there is something wrong with it.
Why did Semuren check Shexiang Town for the sake of the dragon-mounted pendant?
In Lu Jiu's opinion, this possibility is extremely small.
First of all, as the prince of Zhenxi, as long as it appears, it is not necessary to take over the Jingyesi of Qingdingcheng, and there is no need to be so hidden.
Secondly, the area where Zhenxi Palace is located is the extreme western end of the entire Shuoming Empire, while the Zhiyuan Palace where Qing Dingcheng is located is in the central inland. The distance between the two is not one or two provinces. Lu Jiu didn't believe it if the matter of Shexiang Town involves Zhenxi Palace.
Based on this, Lu Jiu almost subconsciously thought of what he had happened in Changyi City two days ago. To be precise, after killing the semi-mechanical puppet, the message given by the puppet before his death: "Wang... Be careful of Lin Ziqi, it was him who stole..."
What if the "king" here is followed by "Master"?
The mechanical prosthesis of the original body of the semi-mechanical puppet was obviously not built by this remote place, not to mention that even in the state where the oil is almost exhausted and the lamp is exhausted, it can still bring huge trouble to Lu Jiu.
At this moment, a clear context appeared in Lu Jiu's mind. Although it has not been verified yet, it is extremely likely.
The prince of Zhenxi is like a cat with a strange pupil. He doesn't care about the dragon pendant, and he is also looking for someone from the prison.
But unlike the strange-eyed cat who is looking for Mo Yanke, the prince of Zhennan is probably looking for a heart-wrenching ghost...
