Chapter 188: Driving away tigers and wolves! Smart people everywhere!
After a while, Wei An's voice suddenly came from the room:
"Someone is coming!"
With a creaking sound, Yan Ruizhi opened the door and saw Wei An and Luo Shumei inside the room, still wearing their clothes.
"You, it's over so soon?"
Yan Ruizhi looked between Wei An's legs and felt that this young man was a bit fast!
Wei An rolled his eyes and shouted again: "Come here!"
Soon, two forbidden soldiers ran over, stood up and said, "Elder Zhang, what are your orders?"
Wei An continued: "Mrs. Sun Luoshi is a little uncomfortable. You will take her to the hospital. Hurry."
"yes!"
The two Imperial Guards did not dare to delay, so they lifted up Luo Shumei and left quickly.
Not long after, Luo Shumei was put into the carriage and pulled away from the mansion.
Wei An stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Yan Ruizhi, and said, "Elder Yan, please give me your identity token again. I want to perform divination again."
"Divination again?"
Yan Ruizhi felt a little impatient. She felt that Wei An had already received her 80 million yuan in remuneration, so she should do things honestly, but this guy seemed to be absent-minded and doing all sorts of things.
However, being impatient can ruin big plans. In order to successfully attack the second level, Yan Ruizhi gritted her teeth and chose to endure it.
"Give it to you."
Her identity token was in Wei An's hands again.
Wei Changchang pretended to count with his fingers, and then returned the identity token.
[The first year: Yan Ruizhi failed to attack the second level, was attacked by inner demons, and suffered internal injuries.]
[That night, she went to Wanbaozhai to purchase medicinal materials to treat her injuries. She was suddenly attacked by a master, knocked unconscious and taken away. 】
[After being tortured, Yan Ruizhi was brutally killed!]
[End of simulation]
"Fuck, Yan Ruizhi is dead again..."
Wei Anxin was speechless for a while.
In yesterday's simulation, Yan Ruizhi died three years later, but this time she was even worse, with only a few days to live.
"I changed Luo Shumei's fate and indirectly affected Yan Ruizhi's fate."
Wei An subconsciously touched the first-grade talisman seal in his arms, thoughtfully.
"Yan Ruizhi said that she has no enemies and has always kept a low profile and is safe. So it is definitely not a coincidence that someone suddenly attacked her tonight."
Thinking of this, Wei An quickly made a deduction.
First, it is impossible for Luo Shumei to have a first-grade talisman seal script. She was forced to self-destruct by "someone";
Secondly, Wei An knocked Luo Shumei unconscious and took away the first-grade talisman and seal script.
Third, "someone" discovered that there was no explosion and went to Luo Shumei to ask about the situation. It turned out that Luo Shumei had lost a first-grade talisman seal. Next, Luo Shumei must have mentioned Wei An and Yan Ruizhi;
Fourth, Wei An had a special status and "someone" had no chance to catch him, so "someone" captured Yan Ruizhi for interrogation.
"If the situation is as I analyzed it, then I should be able to find out who is behind it tonight."
Wei An narrowed his eyes slightly.
Afterwards, he accompanied Yan Ruizhi to the main hall and entered the head of the brainless giant.
The result was naturally without any surprises.
Yan Ruizhi, who was extremely angry, failed to attack the second level. Her face became ashen and she even vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to get through this level after all."
Yan Ruizhi was extremely disappointed and walked out of the hall holding her chest, her face full of pain and unwillingness.
Wei An didn't say anything to comfort him. Everything he said at this moment was redundant.
After a while, the two left the mansion and parted ways.
Wei An looked up at the sky. At dusk, the sun in the west burst out with golden light, illuminating the entire royal city as if it were coated with a layer of gold powder.
He returned to Pantian Sect as quickly as possible, entered the other courtyard, and quickly brought a toolbox, a day-silver-level sword, a butcher's knife, and the fire spirit bead.
After that, he quietly left Pantian Sect, entered the wild area, found a secluded place, and quickly completed his disguise.
In a short time, Wei An turned into a white-haired old man with a white beard, wearing a simple black robe, holding a piece of wood in his hand as a crutch.
In the evening, this white-haired old man appeared near the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect, sitting on the street, as if he had stopped to rest when he was tired.
The sky gradually darkened.
Soon, a carriage drove out of the gate of the White Lotus Sect with the window open.
At a glance, Wei An saw a person sitting in the carriage, it was Yan Ruizhi.
"Here we come, what is going to happen will happen." Wei An stood up and followed the carriage slowly.
About two sticks of incense had passed, and now it was completely dark.
Click, click, click, the carriage is driving on the empty street.
"Cough, cough!"
In the carriage, Yan Ruizhi suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed several times.
She took her hand away and saw that her palm was full of blood foam.
"Car driver, go faster." A look of pain appeared on Yan Ruizhi's face, and she urged impatiently.
"Oh, yes!" How dare the coachman disobey, he raised his whip and slapped the horse hard on the butt.
The speed of the carriage suddenly increased.
Just at this moment, swish swish!
Four piercing sounds suddenly came from different directions. Yan Ruizhi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that something was wrong.
However, before she could do anything, a huge coercion suddenly came and instantly crushed her carriage.
Under the terrifying pressure, the coachman and the two horses exploded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
"Second grade, why?"
Yan Ruizhi was horrified. Four men in black appeared in her sight. The one who attacked from behind was actually a second-grade strong man!
The other three are all third-level masters.
Even if Yan Ruizhi's strength is at its peak, she will never be a match for these four masters.
What's more, she has serious internal injuries at this time, and her strength is less than a quarter of her peak. How can she be able to resist, and she can't even escape?
But what makes her feel incredible is, why would a second-grade master want to ambush her here?
Bang!
Yan Ruizhi received a blow on the back of her head, and her protective force collapsed like paper. Her eyes went black and she fell limply to the ground.
But then, a big hand grabbed her shoulder, lifted her up suddenly, crossed a high wall, and quickly disappeared into the dark night.
The surrounding masters only felt a strong pressure appear and then disappear quickly.
In the royal city of Liangzhou, things like crouching tigers, hidden dragons, etc. are not uncommon. Everyone has long been used to it, and no one meddles in their own business.
puff!
A bowl of cold water was poured on Yan Ruizhi's face. She quickly woke up, blinked, and her pupils focused.
In an instant, she found herself in a completely enclosed room, the light was dim and only a gray-yellow candle light was beating.
"this……"
Yan Ruizhi tried to stand up, but found that her body was severely tied up, the power in her body was not functioning smoothly, and her whole body was sore and weak.
The fear in her heart suddenly boiled!
At this time, a figure slowly walked to the front from behind her.
Yan Ruizhi looked up and saw that the opponent was wearing black clothes and covering his face, and the pressure emanating from his body was as thick as a mountain. He was the second-level master who sneaked up on her.
"You, you..."
Yan Ruizhi was frightened. She looked at the masked man and listened carefully. In the next room, there were three breathing sounds, which should be three other third-level masters.
Her attackers are all here!
"Who are you, your Majesty? Why did you bully a woman like me?" Yan Ruizhi forced herself to calm down and asked.
The masked man's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he said coldly: "Now I will ask questions and you will answer them. If you dare to say no, I will chop off your head and use it as a chamber pot. Do you understand?"
Yan Ruizhi's Adam's apple twitched and she said in shock: "You, what on earth do you want to know?"
The masked man asked: "Have you seen Luo Shumei today?"
"yes!"
"Tell me everything that happened when you met."
"……yes!"
Yan Ruizhi immediately spoke eloquently, and she secretly suspected that the second-class person in front of her might be the Sun family.
The Sun family realized that Luo Shumei had been "insulted", and in a rage, they kidnapped her and tried to find out.
"Everything was done by that Zhang Sanqiao. He was obsessed with lust. While Sun Luoshi was unconscious, he carried her into a room and molested her. But he finished it quickly, really quickly..."
Yan Ruizhi said anxiously.
The masked man was confused.
Zhang Sanqiao insulted Luo Shumei?
Where the hell is this? Luo Shumei never said that she was insulted!
The masked man thought for a moment and asked, "Did you see anything Zhang Sanqiao and Luo Shumei did when they were in the room?"
Yan Ruizhi shook his head and said: "No, I was watching outside the door and didn't see anything. I just heard some strange moaning sounds."
The masked man's eyes changed, as if he suddenly realized something.
"It seems that this matter has nothing to do with you."
The masked man sighed and suddenly tore off the mask on his face, revealing an old face with a hooked nose, wide lips, wrinkles on his face as deep as tree bark, and a gray beard.
When Yan Ruizhi saw the old man's face, he suddenly felt despair.
She knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to survive today, and a look of despair appeared on her face.
"Can you please not kill me?" she said tremblingly, "I have no enmity with you!"
"No injustice, no enmity? Humph!"
The old man grinned and said with a sneer: "Dong Zhuo conspired to rebel. You, the White Lotus Sect, are one of Dong Zhuo's most important minions. You have also committed the crime of rebellion. You should all be punished!"
Yan Ruizhi's color changed drastically, and she said in shock: "Who are you?"
The old man said proudly: "I, Bai Genshan, is one of the ten deputy governors of Dongchang."
"Dongchang?!"
Yan Ruizhi's heart skipped a beat, and she was completely desperate for a moment.
She never expected that she would stay safe in Liangzhou and not run out to snipe at Emperor Liangwu's people. She would hide whenever possible when something happened. She thought she would be safe, but in the end, she fell into the trap of Dongchang's people.
in the hand.
This is so unlucky!
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and asked: "Why do you people from the East Factory target me? I haven't done anything to rebel!"
"Smelly bitch, there are so many problems."
Bai Genshan was completely impatient, stepped forward, pinched Yan Ruizhi's neck, and exerted a little force.
The feeling of suffocation slowly came up, and the painful feeling continued to amplify.
Yan Ruizhi struggled wildly. At this moment, she no longer wanted to live, she just wanted to die.
However, Baigenshan sneered coldly and had no intention of giving Yan Ruizhi a happy life.
People in Dongchang are very good at using torture.
As the deputy governor of Dongchang, Shigenshan has a deep research on torture. There are endless ways to torture people. How to make people die extremely painful and extremely long is one of his great hobbies.
Suddenly, Shigenshan's expression changed and his hand movements stopped.
"Cough cough cough..."
Yan Ruizhi coughed violently, gasped for air, felt dizzy and lost the ability to think.
She just couldn't figure out why Shirone Mountain suddenly stopped.
"Friend, come out!"
Shironeshan took two steps back, turned his head and looked at the next room, his expression becoming gloomier.
In the next room, there are three of Shironeshan's subordinates on guard duty.
But just now, Shironeshan suddenly noticed that the room next door suddenly became extremely quiet, you could hear a needle drop, and even the breathing and heartbeat of the three men disappeared.
This is obviously very abnormal.
The Shigenshan people were mature and sophisticated, and they immediately judged that a master had come here, and quietly killed his three men.
A squeaking sound!
The door opened.
Shiraneyama's pupils shrank suddenly, and as the door opened, the scene that came into view was three men lying on the ground.
No, they no longer have any breath, it should be said that they are three corpses!
Shironeshan glanced around and found that there were almost no injuries on the three of them.
His face suddenly became extremely solemn!
Let me ask, who can kill three third-grade people at such a close range without making any sound?
Anyway, Shirone-san can’t do it on his own!
The next moment, a figure walked over and broke into Shirone Mountain's field of vision.
It was a woman in white, wearing a sparkling white skirt and holding a long sword in her left hand.
"Lingkong Cult Leader!"
Baigenshan took a breath of cold air and said in shock: "You, how did you find us?"
The man in front of me is the leader of Lingkong of the White Lotus Sect!
The reason why she appeared here was because someone tipped off Ci Gu Ouyang, saying by name that Yan Ruizhi had been kidnapped, and the hiding place was also clearly stated.
Cigu Ouyang immediately reported the matter to the leader of Lingkong.
By coincidence, the leader of Lingkong happened to be out of seclusion not long ago, so he flew over to take a look. Who would have thought that it was actually true!
Leader Lingkong held his sword and walked into the room without saying a word. He didn't even look at Bai Genshan, only looking at Yan Ruizhi.
Then, she said calmly: "Deputy Governor Bai, you haven't answered her question yet, why are you targeting her?"
Cold sweat broke out on Bai Genshan's forehead, and the ferocious look he had just shown completely disappeared. At this time, he was like a little rabbit forced into a corner, weak and helpless.
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "People from Dongchang would rather die than surrender, and would never leak secrets."
Leader Lingkong said calmly: "You like torturing people, don't you?"
Shironeshan shuddered, then he suddenly retreated backwards, his body broke through three walls, and landed on the street. He turned around and was about to dive into another alley.
However, the moment he turned his head, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him. It was not the leader of Lingkong.
Shironeshan couldn't help but be horrified, feeling like he was being played with by a cat and a mouse.
"Master Lingkong, kill me. Dongchang will never let you go from the White Lotus Sect. Why don't we all take a step back and let me go. I promise that Dongchang will never cause trouble to you from the White Lotus Sect again." Bai Genshan hugged him.
With the last glimmer of hope, he put forward conditions.
However, the Lingkong leader looked at him as if he were a fool and sneered, "Didn't you just say that I, the White Lotus Sect, should be punished for conspiring to rebel?"
Shironeyama was completely in despair.
At this moment, he thought that if the first-grade talisman seal was still in his hand, then he would have hope of escaping.
but……
Shironeshan took a breath, his expression gradually distorted, and suddenly, he drew his sword out of its sheath.
"I am a second-grade person. Even if I am going to die, I will still have a few people to support me."
The second-level master unleashed all his destructive power regardless of the consequences, enough to destroy buildings within a thousand meters and kill thousands of people.
Shironeshan is ready to fight, his sword has been unsheathed!
At this moment, a snow-white arc-shaped sword light suddenly flashed past.
Shironeyama froze, his eyes widened, and then a line of blood appeared on his neck.
As the blood line continued to thicken, his head slipped and rolled to the ground.
The leader of Lingkong was still standing there, holding the sword in his hand, as if he had never done anything.
The head of the man in Shirone Mountain is facing the night sky. There is not much fear in his pupils, only deep doubts.
"That Zhang Sanqiao, how did he know that there was a talisman in Luo Shumei's belly?"
This was the biggest doubt that came to Shirane-san's mind before he died!
After a while, Yan Ruizhi regained his freedom.
Leader Lingkong grabbed her shoulders and flew her up, returning to the White Lotus Sect.
Soon, a large number of imperial troops roared in and blocked the house.
Far away, on the top of a building, someone slowly withdrew his gaze.
It was an old man with white hair, stooped and leaning on a cane, with a slightly playful expression on his face.
"it's over……"
Wei An sighed softly.
The person who tipped off the leader of Lingkong was naturally him.
From the moment he confirmed that the person who attacked Yan Ruizhi was a second-level master, he realized that he was fully capable of killing the four masked men, but this was the royal city.
Once he fights with a second-grade master, not to mention how much damage is caused and how many people are involved.
Just mentioning the news of the battle will immediately attract the prying eyes of those first-class experts.
By then, Wei An will definitely be exposed.
There was no other way, Wei An could only notify the leader of Lingkong to come out and deal with those people, drive away tigers and wolves, and kill people with borrowed knives.
The good news is that the leader of Lingkong took a decisive action and killed the four masked men directly, leaving no one alive.
Of course, Wei An didn't dare to get too close. He didn't know if the masked man had confessed anything before he was killed.
If Leader Lingkong learns that he may have a first-grade talisman seal in his hand, then there will definitely be a follow-up to this matter.
…
…
The night is already deep.
In the palace, Emperor Liangwu Dong Zhuo had not rested yet. He was listening to the report of the imperial army.
"The identities of the four deceased have been confirmed. They are all from Dongchang. The leader is Bai Genshan, one of the deputy governors of Dongchang."
The Forbidden Army said carefully: "Bai Genshan captured the White Lotus Sect elder Yan Ruizhi and interrogated her about today's matter, which involves Mrs. Sun Luo..."
Dong Zhuo listened and said nothing.
Dazai Chen Guangbi pondered: "In other words, the purpose of Baigenshan's interrogation of Yan Ruizhi is to know what Luo Shumei did today."
The Imperial Guard replied: "We thought so too, so we interrogated Luo Shumei overnight, but she insisted that she had passed out during the day and knew nothing."
"Have you passed out?" Chen Guangbi asked curiously: "What did Luo Shumei do today?"
"She went to the mansion this morning, intending to try to reach the third level, but for some reason, she suddenly passed out and slept until the afternoon. Oh, after she passed out, the first people who discovered her were Yan Ruizhi and Zhang Sanqiao. Baigenshan interrogation
The focus of Yan Ruizhi is exactly what happened after Mrs. Sun Luo passed out." The Forbidden Army even said.
Chen Guangbi was thoughtful and said with a smile: "It's getting more and more interesting. Keep talking."
A strange look appeared on the Imperial Guard's face, and he continued: "According to Yan Ruizhi, Zhang Sanqiao carried Mrs. Sun Luoshi into a guest room, and then did something indescribable, and it ended quickly."
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo stood up directly and asked with a smile: "How fast?"
Chen Guangbi rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Is this the point?"
He waved his hand, "Have you ever interrogated Zhang Sanqiao?"
"After asking, Elder Zhang said that he just gave Madam Sun Luo some tea and did not do anything inappropriate," the Imperial Guard replied.
Chen Guangbi nodded, and then he paced back and forth.
After a while, his expression changed and he shouted: "Send someone to the Sun family immediately to protect Sun Luoshi closely!"
"……yes!"
The Imperial Guards immediately rushed away,
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo asked: "What did you think of?"
Chen Guangbi said calmly: "Mrs. Sun Luo may have been killed at this moment."
Dong Zhuo was speechless and said: "Kill you?"
Chen Guangbi raised his head slightly and said: "The people from Dongchang took great risks to sneak into our Liangzhou Royal City. The task they performed must be extremely important and must be carried out!
There are two tasks that meet these conditions. One is to assassinate you, the emperor; the other is to destroy the brainless giant!"
"Completing either of these two tasks will be enough to change the situation of the war."
"If the person carrying out the mission is Shirone-san, and no higher-level people are involved, then their mission must be to destroy the brainless giant."
"I guess that Baigenshan and the others took control of Luo Shumei and sent her into the mansion with evil intentions. However, Luo Shumei suddenly fainted for no reason, causing their plan to fail."
Dong Zhuo heard this and asked: "Luo Shumei, don't you have the ability to destroy the brainless giant?"
Chen Guangbi nodded and said: "She doesn't have that ability, so it is very likely that she has something hidden on her body and brought it into the mansion, intending to use that thing to destroy the brainless giant."
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized: "Luo Shumei fainted and lost her things, so Bai Genshan had to catch Yan Ruizhi and want to find out."
Chen Guangbi said nothing about this and said calmly: "There is no rush to find something. The most important thing right now is to catch the traitor. If Baigenshan can sneak into the royal city and perform such an extremely difficult task, there must be someone secretly assisting him."
Dong Zhuo understood and sneered: "This traitor should have mastered a lot of top-secret information, and his status is not low. It is very likely that he is lurking around you and me, very close."
Chen Guangbi said coldly: "There is no problem with the people around me, they must be lurking beside you."
Dong Zhuo was immediately dissatisfied and shouted: "That's nonsense. I am a famous king through the ages and have a keen eye for knowing people. How can there be problems with the people around me?"
