Under the moonlight, Qi Liang saw the half-smiling expression on Gu An's face and swallowed hard.
He won't see anything, right?
No, I only started practicing recently, and Shikou Town has always been safe and sound, so it shouldn't happen.
Did Deacon Meng and the others really tell me?
He forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart.
Qi Liang asked again: "Gu Xiaoqi? Those thieves, can you tell who colluded with them? What are their characteristics?"
This Qi Liang is quite good at acting... Gu An smiled and sighed: "Unfortunately, it was precisely because they didn't tell me that I wanted to ask Mayor Qi to see if there was anything unusual in the town."
Qi Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and thought for a moment, and said with a serious face.
"Gu Xiaoqi, you heard what I just said, there has been nothing unusual in the town recently.
I just thought about it carefully and came up with a guess. Do you think it was the thieves of the Blood God Sect who deliberately released the news?
Just to confuse you and delay you?"
Gu An raised his right eyebrow, pretending to be thinking: "What you said makes some sense."
Before Qi Liang could be happy, he heard Gu An say again: "Well, tomorrow morning you, Mayor Qi, will gather the residents of the town together, and I will come and inquire.
If someone really colludes with the Blood God Cult thieves, I think something will be exposed.
If not, it’s probably the Blood God Cult thieves who are trying to confuse things, so I’ll leave in the afternoon.”
In half a day, nothing should go wrong...
Qi Liang immediately responded: "Don't worry, Gu Xiaoqi, I will gather the townspeople early tomorrow morning, but the villages below are still some distance away, so they may arrive later."
"That's not necessary. The village below is far away. If they collude with the Blood God Cult thieves, it will be inconvenient to communicate on weekdays. So if someone really colludes with them, they should be in the town."
After a pause, an idea came to Gu An's mind and he looked up at the sky: "It's so late today. It's impossible for me to go back. I'll just lie here all night."
With that said, Gu An made a move to sit down by a tree nearby.
Seeing this, Qi Liang hurriedly said: "Gu Xiaoqi came all the way to eradicate the Blood God Cult thieves, how could we let Gu Xiaoqi sleep in the forest?
If Gu Xiaoqi doesn't mind, you can go to your home to rest for a night."
Gu An was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Qi Liang to say that. He frowned and hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "That's it, I'm bothering the mayor."
"Hey, it doesn't matter. It's my blessing to be able to invite Gu Xiaoqi to my home."
The two of them walked to Qi Liang's yard while talking.
Looking at Qi Liang's courtyard, Gu An looked around: "Mayor Qi, why is your courtyard the only one nearby and it's so far away from the center of the town?"
"It's like this. In the past, my yard was quite close to the center of the town.
But the town has developed better and better in recent years, and there are more and more people. They also need space to build houses.
This courtyard occupies too much space, so we moved it here and gave up the space there to the townspeople."
"Mayor Qi is worthy of being the mayor of Shikou Town. He is so considerate of the townspeople."
With a creak, the door opened.
Qi Liang said modestly: "Gu Xiaoqi deserves the award. This is just my job."
A quarter of an hour later, Gu An was already sitting in the guest room.
When I came in just now, there was an episode.
Since the door had just been opened, Qi Liang and Gu An were still in the shadow of the door, and their appearance could not be seen clearly from the outside.
He was immediately surrounded by a group of servants under Qi Liang, holding long sticks.
In front of Gu An, being pointed at by his men like this, Qi Liang suddenly became angry, walked out of the shadows, and scolded them aside.
By the moonlight, the servants recognized Qi Liang and began to apologize one after another.
Qi Liang snorted coldly and took the opportunity to explain Gu An's identity and how they met.
Gu An also figured out the reason why these servants had not rested so late.
Like Qi Liang, he was awakened by the sound of the Blood God Religion's base collapsing. He seemed to be too timid to investigate.
Gu An made a joke at that time, saying that Qi Liang was getting stronger and his courage was as good as his age.
Qi Liang's expression changed immediately, but he quickly reacted and said that he was getting older and didn't have a few more years to live, so he became more courageous.
Gu An smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he went to the guest room to rest under the leadership of his servant.
Those servants just now did not have the smell of practicing "Blood Yin Jue". Is it possible that the Blood God Sect has only Qi Liang as its external agent here?
When Gu An was frowning and thinking, he sensed movement elsewhere and raised the corners of his mouth.
Moved...
…
"Squeak!"
Qi Liang quietly opened the door, poked his head around and looked around. After making sure no one was there, he turned around and put a sack on his back and walked out of the room.
He gently closed the door and walked quietly out of the courtyard.
After a while, Qi Liang came to the stronghold where the Blood God Cult was eradicated by Gu An and put down the sack.
Gu An probably won't come back here again tomorrow. Even if he comes back, I can still throw this matter to the Blood God Cult. He can't do anything without evidence.
Thinking, Qi Liang jumped into the pit.
"Plop!"
Just when Qi Liang was about to dig a hole and bury the sacks, he suddenly heard applause from behind him, followed by joking laughter.
"Pop!"
"Mayor Qi is so skilled!"
Qi Liang thought to himself that it was not good, and turned around slowly to see Gu An's playful smile.
After entering the Qiliang courtyard, Gu An released his mental power to wrap the entire courtyard, sensing the movement in every room.
The target of focus is naturally Qi Liang, whose identity has been determined.
After discovering Qi Liang sneaking out, Gu An followed him all the way.
At the same time, I smelled a smell of blood...
His eyes fell on the sack next to Qi Liang, and Gu An jumped directly into the cave.
"Mayor Qi, what's in the sack next to you?"
Qi Liang was silent for a moment, moved two steps to the side, and said with a smile: "It's just a few jars of wine. I want to find a place with stronger spiritual energy to bury it to make it more fragrant and pure.
No, when I think about it, since the thieves of the Blood God Sect chose to build a stronghold here, maybe the spiritual energy here will be richer."
"I see, then why don't you wait until daytime tomorrow and come at night?"
"If you come here during the day, wouldn't you be vulnerable to thieves?"
Gu An paused and nodded: "It makes sense, Mayor Qi, I guess you don't mind if I take a look?"
Qi Liang rolled his eyes, took two steps forward, and made an invitation: "Of course, Gu Xiaoqi please."
Gu An nodded, walked a few steps to the sack, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to look through it.
Standing behind Gu An, Qi Liang's eyes became fierce, and a faint blood energy appeared in his right hand, forming a knife shape, bringing up a gust of blood wind, and quickly slashed it at Gu An's neck!
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of metal collision sounded, making Qi Liang stunned.
