"City Lord, don't be angry..." Meng Shixiong said in a deep voice, "It seems that these thieves are really nearby. It's getting late now. It's not good for us to wander around. I think it's better for us to camp on the spot and then search slowly!"
"Okay!" Yue Conghai said, "Just follow General Meng."
Following the orders of the two men, the army immediately began to set up camp. There was no shortage of wood for setting up camp in the high mountains and dense forests. Meng Shixiong usually trained in this aspect during military training, so the camp was set up very quickly. Although the guards of the city lord's palace were not so skilled
, but he followed suit and built a passable camp.
The gap between the two sides was all seen in Yue Conghai's eyes. In fact, this was a normal phenomenon. However, due to Yue Xifeng's provocation first, Yue Conghai couldn't help but murmur in his heart. His daughter was right, Meng Shixiong.
He is really ambitious! He has so many elite soldiers and generals. Once he takes action, our city lord's mansion can only wait for the killing! I must strike first!
After setting up camp, Yue Conghai said to Meng Shixiong: "General Meng, thieves are cunning. My guards are good at maintaining law and order in the city, but in the wild, they are really a bunch of waste! I have to rely more on you to search for thieves.
He has elite soldiers and generals!"
After a thousand attempts to flatter him, Meng Shixiong couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Master Yue City is very complimentary, but your guards are really not good at operating in this kind of terrain. So, leave the search task to me, your
We are always on standby! Once we discover the lair of that group of thieves, we will attack together!"
"Thank you, General Meng, for your understanding!" Yue Conghai cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then my troops will patrol within five miles of the camp, and those farther away will rely on General Meng. Today's dinner will also be left to us.
Get ready, we won’t let anyone go hungry!”
Meng Shixiong laughed, "Then there will be Lord Lao Yue!"
After Yue Conghai left, Liu Buming came to Meng Shixiong and whispered: "General Meng, isn't this a bad arrangement?"
"Why is it bad?" Meng Shixiong asked.
"Our people are all outside. If something happens, we won't be able to come back!" Liu Buming said.
"What can happen here?" Meng Shixiong said with a grin, "Look at Yue Conghai's men, what can they do? The thief hasn't been caught yet, but he lost two people first. They went outside to inspect, then
Aren’t you delivering food?”
"That's true..." Liu Buming thought for a while and said, "According to my observations along the way, Yue Conghai really wants to catch those gang of thieves."
"This is natural!" Meng Shixiong said, "If my precious daughter was injured by a thief, I would behave similarly to Yue Conghai!"
Although the relationship between Yue Conghai and Meng Shixiong has never been good, Yue Conghai has never wanted to get rid of Meng Shixiong. It has to be said that his past performance is a good cover for the current situation. Although Yue Conghai
He had already developed murderous intentions, but from Meng Shixiong's perspective, he was not aware of it at all.
…
It was getting dark, and it was very dangerous to walk around in unfamiliar forests at night. Meng Shixiong also asked his men to withdraw their troops. A sumptuous dinner was also prepared at the city lord's palace. After the soldiers had eaten, they stayed
The personnel on guard duty all went to rest. The entire military camp soon became silent.
At the third watch, Yue Conghai suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up. After coughing lowly, he looked at the door of the tent. There, a figure appeared. This person was the underground master of the City Lord's Mansion.
Guarding Yuan Ge, he saluted Yue Conghai and whispered: "Lord City Lord, the time has come!"
"Brother Yuan, please!" Yue Conghai cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely thank you greatly after the thing is done!"
Yuange smiled slightly, "Lord City Lord, just wait for my good news!"
Watching Yuan Ge leave, Yue Conghai took a deep breath, touched the sword on his waist, and looked in the direction of Hailuo City. He was going to get rid of Meng Shixiong here, and over there in Hailuo City, he was going to get rid of Meng Shixiong.
Yue Xiaolin, after these two are eliminated, Hailuo City will be completely his, Yue Conghai's!
…
Hailuo City, Baiyun Restaurant.
The other people in the restaurant had gone to bed long ago, and the whole restaurant was quiet. However, the window of the room on the top floor of the restaurant was open, and Xia Yu and Qiao Xiaopang were standing in front of the window.
Tonight, there were dark clouds floating over Hailuo City, blocking the bright full moon. The whole Hailuo City was dark. Qiao Xiaopang held the edge of the window and said: "Yuwen, do you think they will kill first or set fire tonight?"
"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "If there are assassination masters, of course it would be easier to kill directly! But if they still have to put the shit basin on the head of the thief who is not there, then they may set the fire first! This will also make it easier to find some witnesses."
Fatty Qiao thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense! So what should we do now? Wait?"
Xia Xia Yu smiled and said, "Go and set up a formation."
"What formation should be arranged?" Qiao Xiaopang asked curiously.
"A formation that can set the entire city lord's mansion on fire!" Xia Yu said, "Isn't this easy for you?"
"Hmm... it's not difficult. They can light the fire themselves anyway. All they have to do is encourage the fire and start it again!" Fatty Qiao said with a smile, "But why should the entire City Lord's Mansion be burned down?"
"They need chaos, and we also need..." Xia Yu explained, "It is estimated that Yue Xifeng will not personally participate in the night's operation. First, let the whole city lord's mansion be in chaos, and then kill her while taking advantage of the chaos. The blame will be placed on the thieves
'Go ahead!"
"Haha, if Yue Xifeng knew that she would really die at the hands of the 'thief' she made up, would she not have used this method in the first place?" Qiao Xiaopang laughed, "But...did you let me stay in the city lord's mansion?"
Are you running around setting up formations? People will find out! I don’t want to be regarded as a thief!"
"Are you going to be discovered?"
"Of course, I am so weak..."
"Okay, okay, let Fat Ball help you, okay?" Xia Yu curled his lips, snapped his fingers, and a fleshy mouse immediately jumped up to the window lattice, nodding and bending to flatter Xia Yu.
"Zhizhizhizhi" expressed his admiration for Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled and said to Fat Ball: "Listen to Xiaopang's command and take him to set up the formation. Then look at where Yue Xifeng is and find a way to kill her quietly. Do you understand?"
Fat Ball nodded hard, "Yes, great master! You finally let me do something! I've been holding it back for a long time..."
Xia Xiayu waved his hand, "Stop being wordy and wait downstairs!"
The fat ball "squeaked" for a while, and then left the room.
