Chapter 411: Searching for the truth! What the hell is going on!
As for what Tianji said about the people sent here, Shen Lian didn't believe it.
He felt that it was only right that he was the one who stayed here before Tianji left.
There are thirty people in Taihe City, and there are so many cities in Nanzhao. How many people should Tianji have in total?
several thousand?
Or can it reach 10,000?
Shen Lian's eyes flashed slightly.
The identities of the people Tianji mentioned were very diverse, and Shen Lian understood what he meant.
This shows that those people are hiding here with another identity, maybe an ordinary rice cook, maybe an ordinary farmer.
As for the purpose, perhaps only Tianji knows it best.
Shen Lian thought for a while, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked: "Are there any of your people in Beidou Temple or the City Lord's Mansion?"
Tianji's muffled voice came: "There is no Beidou Temple. Beidou Temple is rather special. It is difficult for my people to enter. However, there are government officials in the city lord's mansion who are my people."
"Yamen servant?"
Many plans that could take advantage of his identity as a yamen servant suddenly appeared in Shen Lian's mind.
He took a deep breath, suppressed these thoughts first, and said, "Can I contact him now?"
"Yes, but we are in a special situation at this time and there is a risk of being discovered." Tianji said.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "There's no rush now, just wait until it gets dark."
"Let's go out and meet your people."
.…….….….….….
"Dark?"
Tianji seemed to realize something and said, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Lian didn't hide anything. He said: "If conditions permit and there is a chance, I would like to get rid of Xin Fluolight directly or make it lose its combat effectiveness."
"In short, we must not give him the opportunity to threaten us like today."
"In addition, after solving the new fluolight and there is no one in charge here, we can force Beichen to show up."
"Now Beichen is in the dark and we are on the bright side. This is not a good thing for us."
"He is hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake. This kind of poisonous snake is the most difficult to deal with. We must let him show up!"
Tianji understood what Shen Lian meant.
Solve the problem of Xin Yaoguang, who is working for Beichen on the surface.
Forcing Beichen to come out and take control of the situation.
Otherwise, they will use the chaos to escape.
In short, Xin Fluolight must be eliminated, and this is their best way at the moment!
It was getting dark.
After Xin Yaoguang left, he never came again.
Shen Lian knew that what he asked the secret guards to do was disturbing Xin Yaoguang's judgment.
Drag the new fluclight into the residence.
Taihe City has a population of about 200,000, and there are not many residential houses.
Even there are many empty houses and warehouses.
These places are enough for the new fluclight to spend a lot of time.
Therefore, this gives them a rare opportunity to act.
After eating, Shen Lian watched the sky getting darker and darker, and saw that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. When the curfew finally came, the streets were deserted.
But he did not act rashly. Instead, he sat by the window and looked at the people patrolling the streets below.
Keep in mind the frequency of their patrols.
Shen Lian found that the frequency of their patrols was much higher than last night.
Last night, he specifically observed that the frequency of these patrols was once an hour.
But tonight, a group of people passed by in almost a quarter of an hour.
Shen Lian knew exactly what this meant.
"The next action is very dangerous."
"Not to mention other things, with such a high frequency of patrols, it is not easy to avoid them."
"And besides that, where the new fluclight is currently, it's still unclear."
"It seems that we need to first go to Tianji's informant in the City Lord's Mansion and ask him about Xin Yaoguang, and then go to Xin Yaoguang."
Shen Lian waited until it was almost midnight and there were almost no lamplighters in the entire Taihe City before he prepared to take action.
He knocked lightly on the wall.
Soon, there were three responses from the other side.
Not long after, there was a gentle knock on Shen Lian's door. The sound was not loud and no one could hear it except Shen Lian.
Shen Lian opened the door, then pushed it open gently and let Sishe and Tianji in.
After that, he closed the door gently.
During the whole process, almost no movement was made.
After the two of them entered his room, Shen Lian opened the window and said softly: "This time is an opportunity for us, but it is also a great adventure."
"If someone comes to search after we leave, we will be completely discovered."
"If there are many ambushes in Xin Yaoguang's place and we are expected to deal with him, then we may fall into an ambush if we take action."
"so……"
Shen Lian looked at them and said, "It's so dangerous, are you still willing to take the risk?"
Sishe and Tianji looked at each other, and Sishe said, "If you wish, Master, I will."
He is completely consistent with Shen Lian.
Tianji said: "Do we have any other choice? If we don't take risks, the results waiting for us will not be the same?"
"Sooner or later, New Yaoguang will realize that he has fallen into the trap. At that moment, we will really have no power to fight back."
Shen Lian smiled: "Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Everything depends on my actions tonight, whether it's life or death, maybe I can decide tonight..."
He pulled on the mask and covered his face, leaving only his single eye.
At this time, the patrol team below just passed by.
Shen Lian stopped delaying and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he quickly jumped out of the window and landed easily with the help of the trees outside.
Sishe and Tianji also quickly caught up.
Shen Lian judged the direction and then said: "Here!"
He ducked and walked directly into the shadow.
The weather is good tonight.
Dark clouds spread across the sky.
The moonlight was completely blocked, so the entire Taihe City was completely dark.
In ancient times, there were no street lights. Only some wealthy families would hang lanterns at the door, which was very bright at night.
But there is no light outside ordinary people's homes.
This also caused the whole street to be very dark.
Therefore, Shen Lian and the other three people, dressed in night clothes, were like elves working together in the dark night, and they were extremely fast in this darkness.
During this period, they encountered many patrol teams.
But under Shen Lian's advance judgment, they quickly hid.
So the whole journey was full of surprises.
Soon, they arrived at the city lord's mansion.
The lanterns in front of the City Lord's Mansion were brightly lit, and people were constantly coming in and out. It could be seen that the City Lord's Mansion was busy all night long.
Shen Lian and the others hid in the shadows in the distance and glanced at the city lord's palace. Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said, "The next step is up to you. Call your informant out. I have something to ask him. "
When Tianji heard this, she was indeed very obedient and obedient this time. She nodded and did not respond sarcastically as before.
I saw her taking out a special whistle from her arms.
Put it to your mouth and blow hard.
Suddenly, a bird called like a nightingale sounded.
The sound was that of a nightingale, which was very gentle, and Taihe City happened to be the place where nightingales hang out, so the nightingale's call did not make the people in the city lord's palace suspicious.
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and found that when Tianji blew the whistle, he had a unique rhythm.
From beginning to end, it may be long or short.
It seems to be a unique way of agreement between Tianji and the current one, and the changes in the length of the whistle should be something only they understand.
Not long after, Tianji put down his whistle.
She said: "Let's go to the back door, he will come out the back door."
Shen Lian thought for a while, narrowed his eyes again, and said, "Is it dangerous to come out from the back door? Maybe Beichen is in the city lord's palace now. If he sneaks out from the back door secretly, he will most likely be noticed."
Tianji said: "It doesn't matter, the back door of the City Lord's Mansion is actually similar to the front door, except that the front door is mostly used for offices, while the back door is generally used for less official times."
"And many people just use the back door to patrol at night, so it's not a big problem and it doesn't look very special."
Shen Lian glanced at Tianji with a gloomy expression.
You also said you have never been to Nanzhao?
Knowing so much about the situation of the City Lord's Mansion in Taihe City, you don't feel guilty when you say this?
When Tianji saw Shen Lian's deep eyes, his eyes narrowed and he looked away, obviously not wanting to say anything at this moment.
Shen Lian smiled and was considerate to Tianji for the first time.
"Let's go."
He whispered something, and then he and the two of them shuttled from the front door to the back door in the shadows.
Then they hid in a corner.
When the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, they were hiding in night clothes. As long as they didn't speak or look at each other, they really seemed to blend into the night, as if they were part of the night.
After waiting quietly for a while, the back door of the bathroom suddenly opened.
Several people quickly looked towards the back door and saw several people walking out.
Based on their number, it can be seen that this is a small team, presumably out for patrol.
At this moment, Tianji suddenly picked up the whistle and blew the whistle.
The ten-person team suddenly stopped and looked directly at them.
Sishe was shocked and couldn't help but whispered: "Why did you recruit them all?"
Shen Lian's eyes flashed.
Seeing Tianji blowing the whistle without hesitation, his heart moved and he said: "Tianji, these ten people, are they all yours?"
Tianji looked at the ten people who came over, smiled, and said, "I only have so many people. I didn't expect them to all gather together."
Shen Lian rolled his eyes.
This guy, I thought he only had one or two informants in the city lord's mansion.
Now it seems they are all a small team.
It seemed that he had concealed something about himself and perhaps the number of people.
But... no wonder Tianji was so confident just now, saying that it was no problem to go through the back door.
The feeling is that this team belongs to him. With so many people patrolling together, there is no need to worry about one person sneaking out and being discovered.
Not long after, these people came to the corner.
One of them came forward, and the others quickly turned around and looked in other directions warily, automatically acting as sentries.
"Owner!"
The captain of this team bowed to Tianji.
Tianji nodded.
She looked at this person and said, "I haven't seen him for many years. Thank you for your hard work."
The man quickly said: "It is our honor to be able to contribute to the master!"
Shen Lian coughed, interrupted this affectionate scene, and said: "We don't have much time, let's talk about business first, how about you have a chance to have a drink and have fun?"
The man couldn't help but look at Shen Lian, and Tianji said, "He will ask you some questions, just answer them truthfully."
Hearing this, the man nodded quickly: "Sir, may I ask?"
Shen Lian said: "Where is the new fluolight now?"
He didn't do any ink and went straight to the point.
After all, they really don't have much time now.
This man was very sensible and answered directly without any nonsense: "He is walking towards an abandoned courtyard in the southwest corner of the city. He has been investigating the deserted courtyard all day and is now going to investigate that courtyard."
Go to an uninhabited courtyard to investigate?
Shen Lian thought for a moment and realized there was nothing suspicious about this.
After all, Xin Yaoguang is still trapped in the illusion he created for Xin Yaoguang. As long as Xin Yaoguang doesn't understand that he has fallen into the trap, it is normal for Xin Yaoguang to investigate private houses.
However, Shen Lian was a little surprised that it was so late now and the new Yaoguang was still leading the search personally.
This new fluclight is really hard-working.
He is a hardworking overtime worker!
Shen Lian continued to ask: "How many people did he bring with him, and how strong are they?"
Because of Tianji's previous orders, the informant didn't think much about it. He said: "He brought fifty confidants. I don't know how strong those people are, but they will definitely not be weak."
"At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion also sent fifty people to cooperate with him. In addition, Beidou Temple also had twenty people following him, so he now has one hundred and twenty people following him."
One hundred and twenty people.
Basically they are all good players.
This number of people is not small.
Shen Lian and the others did not have more than fifty secret guards combined, both overtly and covertly.
Of course, if Tianji's informants in Taihe City are included, the number is not too small.
But most of those informants cannot take action directly, and they may not be very skilled people.
The purpose of being an informant is to be an informant, as long as you can hide it, it's fine, but your skill level is secondary.
Therefore... you can ignore Tianji's informant for the time being.
Getting rid of Xin Luoguang now is just the beginning. Their goal is to force Beichen to show up. These informants may still be useful.
Countless rays of light flashed through Shen Lian's mind in an instant, and all kinds of thoughts were split in his mind.
After a while, Shen Lian took a deep breath.
He already had some plans in mind.
He looked at the informant again and said, "Did the one-eyed dragon bring anyone special? Or, did he have a special attitude towards a certain person?"
Tianji and Sishe both felt moved in their hearts.
They understood that Shen Lian's question was obviously asking about Beichen's situation.
However, the informant shook his head: "The younger one is just with a small guard. He has many tasks and doesn't have much contact with that person."
"But in the limited few contacts, I didn't find anyone he was special to."
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
He gently tapped the jade pendant on his waist with his fingers.
Shen Lian thought for a while, then suddenly looked at the informant and said, "What are the city lord and Beidou Temple doing?"
