Chapter 744 Is this a conspiracy?
In an unknown area, in a pavilion, the witch sister and Wu Meng from the Li Gui Sect seemed to be drinking and talking with someone.
There was a ravine between the thatched cottage where Ren Ye was and the pavilion. The two places were still some distance apart, and the pavilion was surrounded by mist, as if it was a place isolated by an array formation. The Little Bad King could only see the outlines of the three people but could not see their faces clearly.
However, Ren Ye had an excellent memory and was very gossipy. He carefully looked at the figure beside the witch and Wu Meng, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
familiar……
If it was someone close to him, Ren would be able to instantly recognize the person just by looking at his body movements. After all, when Lao Liu was alive, he had made a very accurate assessment of his eyesight and memory - an expert in voyeurism.
I didn't recognize him at first glance, which means I must have seen him before, but we didn't have long-term contact.
He stood there in a daze, a surge of memories running through his mind like a tide.
Soon, he looked up suddenly: "It's right, everything is right...!"
"That figure looks very much like... Long Yuqing's second uncle - Yang Mingyuan."
"What the hell! Is that him?!"
The more Ren thought about it, the more frightened he became. The more frightened he became, the more carefully he looked at the figure in the mist.
That person...really looks like Yang Mingyuan!
However, wasn’t he abducted? How could he be drinking with the witch from the Evil Ghost Sect and the strongest ADC in the country?
Are the etiquette and customs of the Jiuli Continent rather strange, and must captives be treated like their own fathers?
Ren Ye was extremely shocked, and many fragments of memory emerged unconsciously in his mind. He stood there in a daze, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. After just a moment, he was already sweating profusely.
Suppose, suppose he is really Yang Mingyuan, then the witch's attitude towards this person is obviously completely different from her attitude of calling for the killing of the Yang family during the ancestral worship ceremony...
Why is this so?
King Huai had many associations at this moment and smelled a conspiracy.
He was very puzzled before. Chaolong City was backed by the Xianlan Sect. Usually, there were not only fifth-grade city-protecting immortal masters, but also extremely ancient super-grade city-protecting formations. Not only could the shrinking talismans and teleportation talismans not be used in the city, but even several teleportation formations were strictly guarded by the Xianlan Sect.
In other words, ordinary people with supernatural powers, whether leaving or entering the city, need to have their identities verified and pass through the city gates, and strangers must also pay taxes and be recorded in the register.
In such a high-pressure and strict environment, it is simply too difficult to sneak across the border...
But dozens of fourth-grade members of the Evil Ghost Sect, as well as the Witch Sister and Wu Meng, can come and go without a trace in Chaolong City, appearing and disappearing like ghosts... Isn't this puzzling?
How did they sneak into Chaolong City? How did they suddenly disappear and escape easily under the siege of Xianlan Sect?
Ren had some guesses about this before, but he didn't say anything in front of Long Yuqing.
Last night, Brother Long brought him to his father's Guitian Courtyard and explained that there was a very safe tunnel under the dry well.
At that time, the cautious King Huai asked, "Does anyone else know about this tunnel?"
The Long brothers replied: "This tunnel was specially built by my father and his father-in-law Yang Ganglie when he was young, just in case of emergency. Except for the close relatives in the family, no one else knows about the existence of this tunnel..."
In feudal society, if a laborer built such a secret passage, tomb, or secret room, he would most likely not survive. Even if he survived, the employer would have 10,000 ways to ensure privacy. For example, they would buy slaves from faraway places, blindfold them, and make them work in silence. Even if a laborer worked in the mountains for several years, he would not know where he was working.
In other words, this secret passage is most likely unknown to outsiders except the Long and Yang families.
So, have the ever-elusive Li Gui Sect used this tunnel to enter and exit the city?
However, Long Yuqing said very confidently at the time that only people from the Long family and the Yang family knew about this secret passage. If he said too much, it would easily destroy other people's family atmosphere, so he did not make any guesses without any evidence.
Moreover, Ren had a good impression of the Yang family at that time, and he felt that since Long Yuqing dared to take this tunnel by himself, it meant that even if the Yang family knew about it, they must have acquiesced.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is politics or family affection, the two sides have long been integrated. On such a major event, they will naturally advance and retreat together.
But who would have thought that they were betrayed by Wang Bo and others just after they fled to the border.
At that time, Ren also felt that someone in the city must have tipped off the Xianlan Sect, and he had also suspected the Yang family, but he did not dare to make a hasty judgment. After all, Chaolong City was so big, it was normal for a few Xianlan Sect spies to appear in the government office.
But now that I think about it carefully, all these puzzling clues and details were accidentally connected together.
The Yang family knew about the secret passage of the dry well under Guitian Yayuan; and Wang Bo, who betrayed them, was also a legitimate general in the army, and naturally he was also a disciple promoted by the Yang family.
The most important point is that the Ghost Sect can come and go freely in Chaolong City. It is actually difficult to do this without a huge internal ghost. Only a behemoth like the Yang family can allow it to hide so safely.
A bold guess suddenly emerged in Ren Ye's mind: "This Li Gui Sect and the Yang Family are in cahoots... My God, the massacre at the ancestral worship ceremony that day was a carefully prepared performance!"
"hiss……!"
Thinking of this, Ren couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became clear: "If that's the case, then there are two main points that are wrong."
"If the Yang family betrayed me and led the Xianlan Sect to come and arrest me, then why did they take off their pants and fart, ordering the Ligui Sect to suddenly appear and snatch me away? Wouldn't this make the Xianlan Sect hate the Ligui Sect even more?"
"Could it be that they are afraid that Long Yuqing's lie to Xianlan Sect will be exposed and will implicate themselves, so they must eliminate this hidden danger, so they first deliberately tipped off the Xianlan Sect to please them, and then secretly let the Li Gui Sect come forward to snatch the person? In this way, they can solve the problem of Long Yuqing's lie and let the Li Gui Sect catch them."
"Well... Also, if the Yang family and the Ghost Clan are in cahoots, then why would they stage a scene where Yang Erlang was kidnapped in front of everyone?"
"Did Yang Erlang do something unknown, so he had to disappear from Chaolong City in this way... Or do they have a bigger plan in mind?"
Ren Ye thought about it carefully, but he still couldn't resolve the doubts in his heart. Because he knew too little about Chaolong City, he was unaware of many things and naturally had no way to judge.
Moreover, these speculations are only at the stage of conjecture. After all, the source of all these inferences is just because he saw a figure that was very similar to Yang Erlang. But he is not sure whether the other party is the abducted second uncle.
Uh... let's make sure first. It's very rude to think badly of others in your heart.
Ren Ye's thirst for knowledge is just like Lao Liu and Tang Feng's desire. Once it arises, he must find someone to quench his thirst. If there is no one, he will build a concrete wall or beef... until he is exhausted.
Thinking of this, the young King Huai looked towards the mountain path with great suspicion, wanting to go around it, through the fog, and secretly take a look at the true appearance of the figure.
"brush!"
At this moment, a ghostly, weak figure emerged. The God Child sniffed his nose and said in a very fast voice transmission: "Boss, don't look...the three guards are back."
The divine child was bought for one million yuan, but he has to act as a scout in battle, and also play the role of the son of a loving couple in life, and the glue of love; he also has to turn into a ghost radar during exploration, and at critical moments he has to steal money, steal treasures, scout places, and stand guard...
In Lao Liu's words, "The God Child treats you as his real father, but you treat the God Child as a devil... You trained a four or five-year-old child to be more useful than a police dog."
Tang Feng also agreed: "One divine child can be as good as three A Pu and six Xu Bangzi."
Ah Pu got furious when he heard this, and he picked up the stick and stabbed the little singer who had been there all night... The relationship between the buddies in this park is enough to write at least twelve ethical novels.
When Ren Ye heard the reminder from the divine child, he immediately turned around and walked towards the thatched cottage.
Sure enough, in less than three breaths, three ghost generals came towards them.
One of them frowned and said, "Who told you to get out?!"
"I'm hungry, so I wanted to ask you for a meal... but you're not here?" Ren also asked casually, "May I ask why you three neglected your duties and didn't take good care of me?"
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and one of them scolded: "Go back, I'll make you a meal."
"Thank you." Although Ren Ye was unwilling, he did not dare to walk around under surveillance. He could only return to the thatched cottage and wait patiently.
About half an hour later, Ren finished his meal and took the opportunity to go to the toilet to look into the pavilion, but found that the fog there had dissipated and the three people were no longer there.
Nothing was said that night, and Ren just fell into a deep sleep in the thatched cottage, preparing to rush to Xiliang with the people from the Li Gui Sect the next day.
Regardless of whether the Yang family was related to the Ghost Sect, he was in a situation where he was courting disaster. However, after this speculation, Ren Ye's vigilance against the witch sister was raised to a higher level.
……
The stars and the moon are bright, and the night breeze is gentle.
Inside the Xianlan Sect's Asking Palace, Sect Master Wuchen was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, dressed in white with a calm expression.
Next to him, a Taoist boy served him personally, carefully pouring tea for him.
Under the high platform, six Tiange elders, one abbot elder, and a dozen senior fifth-rank immortal masters were all sitting there with gloomy faces.
"This ignorant evil ghost sect has indeed reached the point where we have to wipe it out." An elder of Tiange stroked his snow-white beard and said in a cold voice: "Otherwise, a mere fifth-grade peak magical power person dared to hurt my sect's immortal master... This will make all the ancient sects laugh their heads off."
“Reporting to the master, please give me some time and I will be able to find out the hiding place of the Evil Ghost Sect and catch them all in one fell swoop.” Although the elder in charge of the academy is over a hundred years old, he is Wuchen’s eldest disciple. He was also very talented when he was young, but his state of mind was average. After entering the fifth grade, he got a very difficult promotion job, so he stopped at this stage for decades and made no progress.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Wu Chen nodded slightly and said softly: "We must find him before the Xiliang Genius Festival is held... Otherwise, how can your junior brother Chu Jin appear in front of those geniuses without the blood guide."
"Yes, disciple, I obey!"
The abbot bowed and kowtowed.
In the Taoist Palace, although the elders and masters of the Xianlan Sect hated and resented the Ligui Sect to the extreme, they did not mention this evil sect too much.
The Jiuli Continent was a chaotic land of warlords, and no one could keep the water clear to keep fish. In any region, there were evil sects like the Ligui Sect, and they were so numerous that they could never be wiped out.
This is an inevitable trend, just like the banditry in southern Xinjiang. Even if Emperor Wanwu is a man of great talent and strategy, as long as the country does not undergo fundamental changes, this banditry will continue to exist.
