Looking at the team that was about to set off, Xia Shang fell into deep thought.
Seeing Xia Shang's expression, Chunjiao asked softly: "Sir, is there something wrong?"
"Even if the other party didn't arouse suspicion because of the missing few people, they should at least send someone out to look for it. Why do they show such a completely indifferent attitude?"
"I guess the plan to go to Suzhou is more urgent, right?" Chunjiao said tentatively.
Xia Shang thought for a while, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he could only nodded silently.
"Forget it for now, we still have to follow Li Yong's team. The seeds we just dropped, we must always pay attention to the changes in the team."
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yong's team continued to set off, and Xia Shang also started taking action.
But just as a few people were about to leave the restaurant, the door of the restaurant was already surrounded by a group of people from all walks of life.
Among the crowd, Xia Shang caught a familiar face - Ye Liuyun!
Making eye contact with Xia Shang, Ye Liuyun walked in front of the crowd naturally.
"Xia Shang, are you okay?"
There were so many people at the door that Xia Shang could not see clearly how many people there were, but there was definitely more than just Liuyun Sect in the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Xia Shang suddenly thought of the martial arts conference.
Yesterday's martial arts conference was more than just a scam. Li Yong indeed deceived a large number of martial arts people into Yangzhou. I don't know what means he used, but he probably had all the martial arts people under control.
Seeing Ye Liuyun's complacent look, Xia Shang asked in a low voice: "Ye Liuyun, if Li Yong can successfully control the martial arts world, your help should be indispensable, right?"
Ye Liuyun smiled casually: "If you cooperate with capable people, you will naturally avoid detours."
"How did you know my location?"
Ye Liuyun pointed at Prince Yong's Mansion not far away, "The only place that can monitor Prince Yong's Mansion is this restaurant. Isn't it easy to find you?"
"Why are you here now? Do you want to take action? I'm afraid it's not enough to see the people behind you, right?"
"I'm kidding. Everyone knows that you, Xia Shang, are always protected by experts. I am indeed not good enough. But the purpose of my coming is not to fight with you, but to keep you here."
Stay here for a while."
"Do you think you can keep my people by relying on these people?"
"It's definitely not possible to do it directly, but I believe you don't want to expose yourself not far away from Li Yong's Grandmaster Army, right? If you do it here, King Yong's team not far away will be aware of it, and your people can deal with it.
A team of hundreds of grandmasters?”
Xia Shang was a little nervous. He really didn't dare to attract Li Yong's attention at this time.
At that time, countless grandmasters will be attracted, and this group of people will be really in danger.
At the same time, Xia Shang also felt a little strange. Why did the other party say such things?
If he and Li Yong were in the same group, since he had already guessed his location, why didn't he bring Li Yong's team of masters to kill him directly? Instead, he should leave himself behind at this time?
Looking at Xia Shang's puzzled face, Ye Liuyun smiled: "What? Have you figured it out? Do you want to stay and buy me a drink? Don't worry, my purpose is just to let you stay here for an hour. After an hour
, your stay or go has nothing to do with me."
"Why?" Xia Shang asked lightly, "You clearly know my location, why didn't you tell Li Yong?"
Ye Liuyun didn't say anything. He just went to the restaurant alone and shouted heartily: "Staff, bring the best food and wine!"
After saying that, he didn't care about anything and sat next to Xia Shang.
Xia Shang stood and did not react for a while. Xue Lengxiang whispered in Xia Shang's ear: "Master, if you don't kill us directly, we can at least evacuate safely!"
Xia Shang shook his head. He really wanted to know Ye Liuyun's purpose, so he simply sat down.
Seeing Xia Shang's actions, Ye Liuyun nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. You and I are from the same school after all, so just don't make things difficult for each other."
Xia Shang stared at Ye Liuyun and suddenly said: "It's not that you are smart, but that someone has been following me! Someone told you my location!"
Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Shang in surprise. After a few seconds, he asked with a smile: "Why is there such a judgment?"
"You are ambitious, but you don't have such a delicate mind. What's more, if you can really guess my location, so many people around Li Yong should have known it long ago. Since leaving the capital, there have been people along the way.
Somewhat strange, everything seemed to be going very smoothly. But Li Yong seemed to know that I was tracking him from the beginning, and he made arrangements all the way. I was a little confused before. This was obviously an emergency, so why could Li Yong know about it in advance? Since
Seeing you appear, I had a guess. I'm afraid someone has been following me from the beginning to the end! Could the person following you be you, Sect Leader Ye?"
Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Hahaha... What a Xia Shang, he is indeed amazing! But you only guessed half of it right, and the other half is not accurate."
"The person following you is not you? Who else could it be? The people around me are not ordinary people, and they would never hide their whereabouts so perfectly unless they are top experts. Could it be someone from Li Xiangyang? Is there a traitor in my team?"
Ye Liuyun still shook his head, but also said: "There is no point in guessing these things now. Anyway, as long as you stay and have a few drinks, everything will naturally be understood."
"What is your purpose of keeping me?"
Ye Liuyun took a sip of water: "The purpose is very simple. I just don't want you to follow Li Yong's team anymore."
"Is this what you mean privately? If Li Yongruo knew that I was still tracking him, he could have just gathered people to kill me. Why bother to do this?"
"It's not time to answer your question yet."
Ye Liuyun's words are worth recalling.
not the right time yet?
What counts as time?
Just as I was thinking about it, the food and drinks from the restaurant arrived.
Ye Liuyun ate very attentively and a little carelessly, looking at the people behind Xia Shang from time to time.
Xia Shang didn't eat or drink. He had no intention of doing so.
After being silent for a while, Xia Shang finally couldn't help it anymore: "Are you really doing something with Li Yong? Do you think you can be valued by him like this? Don't be naive, look at the grandmaster next to him, it's just a piece of cake in his hand.
A chess piece can be abandoned anytime and anywhere. Don't think that just as the leader of a martial arts sect, you can get different treatment from the prince."
"You don't need to remind me about this. I, Ye Liuyun, am not as smart as you, but I will never be willing to be someone else's pawn."
Xia Shang frowned: "What are your plans?"
"Stop asking. After an hour, all your questions will be answered."
