Chapter 167
It's just that things didn't work out as expected, eight hundred households led their horse boys, and the area they will guard has stretched for several miles on both sides of the river.
After waiting for several hours, there was no trace of Mao Yinglang's appearance.
At this time, the sky was already turning pale. They had already been in a bad state of mind when they rushed over from Yuheng City, and now they were tense and searched for several hours, and they were even more exhausted at this moment.
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"."
When Wu Ling rushed over to inspect, all the captains under his command shook their heads.
Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
So many hundreds of households participated in this arrest mission, but Mao Yinglang managed to escape. If it gets out, it will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Zhenwu Division.
Wu Ling's pretty face also looked a bit ugly, and then said: "Everyone is tired all day tonight, let's go to an inn to have a good rest."
"I still have to discuss with the other Baihu adults, and I'll go find you when the time comes!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Among the crowd, Su Yu couldn't help being a little surprised. Where did Mao Yinglang hide after he jumped into the river?
His two clones guarded in the dark, and never found any trace of Mao Yinglang going ashore.
In addition, his body used the colorful exquisite dice to radiate consciousness, and he never noticed the trace of Mao Yinglang's appearance. He seemed to have evaporated suddenly in the river.
But he knew very well that Mao Yinglang could not disappear for no reason.
There must be something that none of them noticed.
It was with the help of this secret that Mao Yinglang successfully escaped the arrest.
"How did he do that?"
Su Yu couldn't help thinking secretly.
After a night of searching, everyone was already hungry, so they found a noodle shop for breakfast.
While waiting for the beef noodles to be served, Yin Qianshun couldn't help but said, "Tell me, where did this guy code-named Jingzhe hide? It stands to reason that even if he is a warrior of the Iron Bone realm, he should come out to breathe, right?"
Qin Rui frowned and said: "In my opinion, the river itself is a way for him to escape. This guy is really cautious. Maybe a long time ago, he had already planned to use the river when he was surrounded. Get away, and this river channel is in a situation he is familiar with, he is equivalent to occupying a favorable position."
He Wenqiang took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Everyone saw it last night. He was shot by many crossbow arrows. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. There is definitely no way to escape from the city. As long as he goes door to door, he should be can find him."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him with strange expressions.
Seeing the strange look in everyone's eyes, He Wenqiang couldn't help saying: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Brother He, don't let Mr. Wu hear what you said just now."
Lu Ze shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The resident population of Lion Heart City is more than 50. With only our people, how long do you think it will take to find him?"
"And this Lionheart City is his permanent residence. It's impossible that he didn't leave a few nests in the city. Let's look here today, and he will hide there. When we search there tomorrow, he will hide here. .”
"And that river runs through the entire Lionheart City, and we have no way of knowing whether he has already used this river to leave the city."
"Once the hundreds of adults above let us search the city, we will be the ones who will die from exhaustion."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
They are too lazy to do such thankless things.
If Mao Yinglang is really found out, the danger will be borne by himself, and the credit will be given to the adults above, who will be happy?
At this moment, Wu Ling, who had discussed with the other seven hundred adults, turned back again.
"Miss Wuda Ling, here!"
Seeing Wu Ling walking towards the inn, Lu Bo hurriedly waved to her.
Seeing everyone, Wu Ling walked over here.
After ordering the shopkeeper to serve an extra bowl of noodles, Xu Benzhi couldn't help asking: "Miss Ling, what do the other adults say?"
Now that Mao Yinglang has successfully escaped, the decisions made by those hundreds of adults are still very important.
They let the people below search the city, even if they don't want to, they have to hold their noses to do it.
But if the adults of a few hundred families feel that there is no chance to find Mao Yinglang and choose to return to Tai'an City, then their mission will be considered as over.
Everyone was naturally happy to return to Tai'an City as soon as possible.
Even if Mao Yinglang has been seriously injured, he is still a warrior of iron bone level, far from being able to deal with them like the captain of copper skin level.
Facing everyone's eyes, Wu Ling said: "My lords have said that each of you will take someone to stay in Lion Heart City for a few days, to see if there is a chance to catch Jing Zhe's appearance."
Hearing Wu Ling's words, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that several hundred adults have not yet accepted the fact that Mao Yinglang escaped successfully.
Then Wu Ling glanced at everyone again, and then slowly said: "I have already discussed with the other seven hundred adults, and this kind of accident in this mission is something that no one expected."
"Jingzhe took advantage of the location and successfully escaped, but he was already seriously injured!"
"The strength he can display now is less than [-]%!"
"But you all have bows and crossbows. Even though there is still a certain gap between your personal strength and Jing Zhe, you have already gotten infinitely closer."
"In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for completing this mission, I and the other seven hundred households have unanimously decided that no matter who kills Jingzhe, the merits of this mission belong to him alone."
Speaking of this, Wu Ling couldn't help but glanced at Su Yu, and then said: "In short, as long as any one of you can kill Jingzhe, you will get a fifth-level meritorious service and get the chance to be promoted to a hundred households in an exceptional way." !"
Hearing Wu Ling's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and then they each looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
Even the corners of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"It seems that the eight hundred adults are all gone. Now I want to use the merits of this mission to attract everyone's enthusiasm for this mission."
Su Yu slandered endlessly.
Obviously, these eight Baihu adults are very clear that if they just go back and report to their orders, what is waiting for them may be His Majesty who is furious, and then because of ineffectiveness, they will be dismissed from their Baihu positions
They were finally promoted to the position of Baihu, how could they watch such a thing happen to them?
Now we can only do the last remedy, which is to use the rich merits of this mission to mobilize the horse boys below to work hard!
As long as the horse boys below work hard and complete this task, they may not be able to get any benefits from this task, but at least they can keep their positions in Baihu.
But once this task is really impossible to complete, then the job of a hundred households may really be lost
As for which school captain Jing Zhe was killed by, they didn't care at all, what they cared about was taking Jing Zhe's body back to a mission!
Wu Ling's words undoubtedly moved them.
For them, this is indeed a rare opportunity.
The guy code-named Jingzhe obviously has only one breath left, as long as he makes up for it, he can succeed Baihu. How tempting is that?
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Su Yu felt secretly happy, these adults' skills in making cakes are indeed amazing.
"Guest officers, please use your noodles slowly."
The shopkeeper put the noodles on the table one by one, and said with a smile.
Wu Ling didn't observe the changes in the faces of the people, but just took out the chopsticks and scrubbed them carefully, and said persuasively, "Of course, the choice is yours."
"If you feel really tired, you can also choose to go to the inn to rest."
"But if there are also those who have confidence in completing the task, they will work harder. Maybe the pie in the sky will fall on their own heads."
"After all, it is not an easy task to be promoted to Baihu."
"Now the opportunity is in front of us, whether we can grasp it or not, it all depends on ourselves"
"Everyone said, is it such a reason?"
Hearing Wu Ling's words, the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched.
"It seems that Wu Yuanpan's death has brought about a huge change in her mind."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Before this, he had only discovered this huge change in another person.
That is Wu Ling's fourth brother, Wu Chen.
The former fourth brother Wu Chen was an arrogant and domineering young master.
But because his limbs were beheaded, his mind changed drastically.
What Wu Ling said just now made Su Yu feel the same.
And this kind of change obviously happened recently. It is obvious that Wu Yuanpan's death caused Wu Ling to undergo a huge transformation.
If it was before, Wu Ling would definitely not be able to utter such sophisticated words.
Then the atmosphere fell into an extremely weird state, Wu Ling ate the noodles as if no one was around, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth.
The others looked at each other, and then began to eat noodles.
It's just that their eating speed is obviously much faster than Wu Ling's.
Almost like a whirlwind, they quickly finished the noodles in their respective bowls.
"Miss Daling, I'm not sleepy yet, I'll go to both sides of the river to see."
After Yin Qianshun finished speaking, he carried the cloth bag with the crossbow and walked towards the river.
Then there are Lu Bo, Lin Canglan, Gu Daoyuan, Lu Ze.
In the end, only Su Yu was left eating noodles in a leisurely manner.
Wu Ling glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "Su Yu, why don't you try it?"
Su Yu didn't eat the cake she drew, which undoubtedly surprised her.
She couldn't help but say something more: "Su Yu, you only have the cultivation level of Body Refining Realm now, if you are promoted to Hundred Households by virtue of this mission, you will be the first one to be promoted to Zhenwusi in all parts of Kyushu."
"Since the establishment of the Zhenwu Division, there has never been a body-refinement-level martial artist serving as a person of a hundred households."
"Why don't you take this opportunity to let yourself go one step further."
The corners of Su Yu's mouth turned slightly, and he said with a light smile, "Thanks to Miss Wu Ling's appreciation, but I feel that I am content as a captain now."
"I have always believed in a truth, that is, to make money, you have to spend your life, otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it is meaningless."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wu Ling's eyes lit up.
Yes.
You have to spend your life to make money, otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it's just for others.
This guy is indeed a smart guy.
It would be too difficult for a body-refining martial artist to participate in the arrest of a criminal in the Iron Bone Realm.
Immediately, she stopped persuading Jing Zhe, this search of Jing Zhe, not one more Su Yu, not one less him, will not have much impact on the overall situation at all.
After eating the noodles, the two went to the inn to rest.
Su Yu walked into his room and lay on the bed, lost in thought.
"Where did Mao Yinglang hide?"
"Obviously, using the river to escape the hunt is a back road he left for himself long ago."
"If I were him, it is impossible not to know that there will be people stationed along the coast layer by layer. Once they find me ashore, they will inevitably encounter the crisis of death."
"In this case, how to get out?"
Su Yu's thoughts turned sharply, thinking about how Mao Yinglang escaped.
Even he had to sigh that Mao Yinglang was indeed a cautious person.
First, he put a dummy on the bed in his wing room, and then set up a special secret room, and even placed two bows and crossbows as self-defense weapons.
From the various methods Mao Yinglang displayed, it can be seen that Mao Yinglang is an extremely cunning person.
And the river next to his lair is another means of escape for him.
Nearly [-] school lieutenants can be said to have laid a net on both sides of the river. Once he landed, he would not be able to escape the possibility of being shot.
But under such circumstances, Mao Yinglang just disappeared into the river out of thin air, leaving them in vain.
Su Yu couldn't help being curious, where did this guy hide?
Even if he is already dead, there must be a body, right?
But they also sent people to dive into the river to observe everything below the river, but they did not find Mao Yinglang's body.
Since there is no corpse, it means that he probably used some method to escape successfully.
"He is seriously injured now, even if he is bleeding, it is enough for him to face death."
"If my guess is correct, he should still be in Lionheart City right now, he just escaped with the help of the river, and then hid in a hidden corner to bandage his wounds."
"Could it be."
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if thinking of something, he murmured involuntarily: "The place where he jumped into the river is not far from his mansion."
"Since no trace of him has been found for several miles on both sides of the river, is it possible that he dug a secret passage in the river, making others mistakenly think that he has dived into the river, but actually got into the one he prepared in advance? Secret Road?"
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately made a clone rush towards the position where his real deity was.
After the avatar flitted out of the window, Su Yu handed over the colorful exquisite dice in his hand.
After getting the seven-colored exquisite dice, the avatar once again flew towards the place where Mao Yinglang jumped into the river.
When he arrived at the place where Mao Yinglang was jumping into the river, there were already many figures on both sides of the river wearing hard clothes and strolling around with a cloth bag in their hands, looking at everyone he saw.
These people are naturally the school lieutenants under the eight hundred households.
It was obvious that these guys were all attracted by the painted cakes. Although their faces were tired, their spirits were still extremely excited, and they were sitting in their minds with dreams of breaking the rules and being promoted to the rank of one hundred households.
And the cloth bags in their respective hands are naturally the bows and crossbows they rely on for their meritorious deeds.
Forbidden weapons such as bows and crossbows are not tolerated by the world after all, and they can't carry them in the open to be seen by others.
Anyway, whether it is placed in a cloth bag or held in the hand, the role of the bow and crossbow will not be greatly reduced.
Seeing Su Yu approaching, the eyes of these people immediately became wary.
In particular, Su Yu's avatar was not carrying a cloth bag, which meant that Su Yu was not one of them.
Su Yu ignored them, and used the colorful exquisite dice to spread out his consciousness, then swept across the river, and searched the entire Mao Mansion inch by inch.
Since Mao Yinglang never came ashore after jumping into the river, Su Yu very much suspected that this guy probably took advantage of the moment of jumping into the river, and then sneaked into the underground of Mao's mansion.
After all, according to the prudence shown by this guy, it is very possible for this guy to dig a few secret passages and basements under his own house.
However, vents must be set up for these secret rooms. Su Yu wanted to see if he could use his spiritual sense to search Mao Yinglang's mansion carefully to see if there was a secret room underground in the Mao family.
After the great battle last night, most of the current Mao family has already been reduced to ruins.
Especially in front of the wing where Mao Yinglang was, the ground was in a mess, with rubble everywhere.
As for the handymen and maids of Mao Yinglang's family, as well as people from various industries under him, they have been arrested and interrogated by the people of Zhenwusi to see if they can get any news about Mao Yinglang from these servants.
The current Mao Mansion is empty and quiet, but from time to time, someone climbs up the courtyard wall and looks at the ruins inside Mao's house with wandering eyes.
When a rich family like Mao Yinglang suddenly leaves the building empty, people will naturally pay attention to see if they can find some valuable items from the ruins.
"It is impossible for him to set the entrance to the secret passage only in the river, such access is inconvenient"
"And in this mansion, there must be an entrance for him to enter the underground secret room that may exist."
"Of course, this is all just speculation on my part"
Su Yu used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Mao's house inside and out, but he didn't find any air holes.
This made him a little suspicious.
Didn't Mao Yinglang dig out a secret room in the basement of his house?
"No, it's impossible for a cunning guy like him not to dig a few underground chambers to hide in."
"There must be some place that I have overlooked, and this place is a blowhole, which can allow him to live safely underground for a long time."
"It's just that I have scanned it with my spiritual sense, but I haven't found such a blow hole."
Su Yu frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
At this point in the mission, all the clues seemed to come to an abrupt end.
Su Yu, who was still waiting to rely on Mao Yinglang to make money, was naturally a little unwilling to accept such a result.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sound of falling water interrupted Su Yu's thoughts.
Su Yu couldn't help but turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
It was a woman who was washing clothes. She was hanging a wooden bucket into the river by a rope, and then swung it from side to side. The wooden bucket sank and quickly filled a bucket of water. The cask was brought up again
Seeing this scene, Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see."
"The air hole is in the well, and the mouth of the well is also the door for him to enter and exit the secret room!"
When he scanned the entire Mao family with his spiritual sense before, he didn't expect that there would be a hidden hole in the well.
But apart from the well, the Mao family did not have any access to the ground.
If it wasn't for the woman who used a wooden barrel to fetch water from the river, Su Yu would not even have thought that the secret chamber and air hole could be used as a wellhead.
Su Yu radiated his consciousness again, and then swept towards the mouth of the well closest to the wing where Mao Yinglang was.
If Mao Yinglang would dig a secret room under Mao's house, he would definitely choose a wellhead closest to his residence.
In the courtyard in front of Mao Yinglang's main wing room, there is a well, which is mostly covered by dense vegetation. If you don't look carefully, you will never find that there is another well here.
Su Yu's consciousness came to the mouth of the well, and then extended all the way down the well.
As he expected, the position five meters below the wellhead was artificially widened, and an iron gate appeared in sight.
Spiritual consciousness passed through the iron gate, and the inside suddenly opened up.
"Did he hollow out the Mao family's underground?"
Under the glance of his divine sense, Su Yu was secretly speechless.
In this underground, there is not only a living room, but also a hut, each room is almost a replica of the ground.
Of course, these underground rooms are not as big as those above ground.
And in a dim corner, Su Yu saw a pile of bones and digging tools.
"It seems that the people who dug these secret rooms for him should have been silenced by him."
Su Yu groaned in his heart, and his consciousness penetrated into a room, and everything in it made Su Yu's expression tremble.
What caught within the scanning range of his spiritual sense turned out to be beautiful skins.
And these human skins were all slowly peeled off from the back.
Roughly counting, at least no less than a hundred.
A piece of human skin corresponds to the fresh life of a young woman
Seeing those human skins, Su Yu couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.
Behind all these human skins are Mao Yinglang's unspeakable crimes.
And these are still finished products. Before getting these finished products, how many lives did he carelessly practice his skinning skills?
Su Yu's consciousness continued to extend inward, and what caught his eyes was a pool of water several feet in size.
"If my guess is correct, this water pool should be connected to the river outside, and there should be an entrance at the bottom of the river, leading to this water pool."
Su Yu secretly sighed, Mao Yinglang's caution was beyond his imagination, and it really made him understand what is called the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit.
"cough cough"
At this moment, Su Yu's spiritual sense finally detected the movement underground.
"finally found you."
Su Yu's consciousness swept along the place where the sound came from, and finally found the right person he was looking for on this trip, Mao Yinglang.
He looked very miserable at the moment, with a knife wound on his chest and back, but he had been properly bandaged.
In addition to these two stab wounds, he also had wounds pierced by seven crossbow arrows.
"This guy is really lucky. So many arrows shot at him, but none of them hurt his vitals."
Su Yu shook his head secretly, not to lament this guy's good luck.
Possessing the cultivation base of an iron-bone warrior, Mao Yinglang's physical recovery speed has been extremely fast.
Unless he was killed on the spot, the injuries on his body would recover quickly.
In addition to the two knife wounds with deep bones that were still oozing blood, the seven wounds pierced by crossbow arrows had already formed blood scabs, and these blood scabs would fall off within three days at most.
And three days later, the two stab wounds on his chest and back will also form bleeding scabs, and most of his strength will be restored.
In just ten days, all the injuries on his body will recover, and his weight will reach its peak.
"Hmm~"
He applied medicine to his wound again, and the severe pain caused the veins on Mao Yinglang's forehead to pop up, and his complexion became a little hideous.
This process lasted for a while, and Mao Yinglang was already drenched with sweat.
However, Mao Yinglang breathed a sigh of relief seeing the injury that was healing rapidly.
"Hey, they probably wouldn't have thought that I was just under the ruins last night, right?"
Mao Yinglang's eyes flickered coldly, and he murmured in a hoarse voice.
He couldn't help looking up at the top of his head, and then murmured in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that the person who came in the morning was not a Jianghu warrior, but Zhen Wusi!"
"The only person who knows where I live is Mr. Chun, since it's someone from Zhen Wusi who came here."
"Could it be that Master Chun has been captured by Zhen Wusi?"
"If that's the case, then I've lost contact with Nian!"
"Hey, that's fine, I finally don't have to be constrained by the year organization, and I can live the life I want from now on."
"It seems that this time it's not a lot of thunder and rain, the court is determined to wipe out all the members of the Nian organization in the territory of Wei."
"It seems that Da Wei can't stay for long."
"That's good, I can just take this opportunity to escape from the control of the Nian organization and go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to make a comeback"
"Based on the money I've saved over the years, it should be enough for me to jump into the world."
"."
Su Yu used his spiritual sense to observe quietly, and then couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
If it is as expected, in the next few days, Mao Yinglang should not choose to leave the underground secret room in order to repair his injuries.
It is not known exactly where the entrance to the river outside is.
There is an iron gate at the entrance of the well, his spiritual consciousness can enter, but that doesn't mean his body can sneak in.
Once he hits the iron gate, it will inevitably cause a huge noise.
And Mao Yinglang was able to react immediately, and then retreated quickly with the help of the water pool.
Obviously, to deal with Mao Yinglang, one cannot go to the secret room below to deal with him.
Because this guy is like a mouse, and he still prepared a retreat for himself.
"It seems that we can only wait for him to come out of this mouse hole, and then find a chance to deal with him."
A strange light flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.
Since there is no way to sneak into the ground to deal with Mao Yinglang, we can only wait for him to come out of the secret room, and then find a way to deal with him.
Immediately, Su Yu found an inn for his avatar that was closest to Mao's house. In this inn, Mao Yinglang's every move could be observed.
On the first day, except for Su Yu who slept soundly in the inn, the other eight lieutenants all returned with excited expressions, as if the position of a hundred households was already at their fingertips.
During dinner, several people combined their own speculations to conclude that Mao Yinglang was still in the city, and even persuaded Su Yu to go out to try his luck.
Su Yu showed a flustered expression, but shook his head and said, "I'm a body-training martial artist, so my life is the most important thing."
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Only a few hours passed, and not long after night fell, everyone got up excitedly, then carried their bows and crossbows, and walked towards the place where they thought Mao Yinglang was most likely to appear.
On the second night, everyone's expressions were obviously not as excited as the first day. They just finished their dinner in silence, then went back to their room to rest for several hours, and then went out to watch.
On the third night, Qin Rui and Yin Qianshun accepted the reality. After dinner, they would sleep soundly, and the other six continued to go out and squat.
On the fourth night, Xu Benzhi, He Wenqiang, and Lu Bo chose to accept the reality after Qin Rui and Yin Qianshun's persuasion, while Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, and Gu Daoyuan still went out to guard in unbelief.
On the fifth night, Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, and Gu Daoyuan also accepted the reality and stopped going out to guard.
They are all warriors, and they are well aware of the resilience of warriors.
Five days have passed, and it is estimated that Mao Yinglang's injuries have mostly recovered.
At this time, even if the other party appears, it is really hard to say who is the prey.
The position of Baihu is indeed attractive, but one has to be lucky enough to be promoted.
If the little life is not guaranteed, the hundred households are meaningless.
"Hey, everyone, it looks like we'll have to stay in Lion Heart City for a few more days. Do you want to go to the Jiaofang Division tonight? Experience the humanistic style of Lion Heart City?"
After dinner, Su Yu asked with a smirk.
From the information detected by his avatar placed in the Mao's Inn, Mao Yinglang's injuries are almost healed now. Seeing that he started to pack his things, it is very likely that he will leave tonight.
After staying in the inn for so many days, it's time for him to go out to loosen his muscles.
Hearing that Su Yu was going to visit the Jiaofang Division, everyone had smiles that only men could understand.
Yin Qianshun blinked at him, and said with a smirk: "Brother Su is used to eating imperial food, can you still appreciate simple food?"
Su Yu chuckled and said: "Brother Yin, you don't know this, we must learn to adapt to local conditions."
"Brother Su is so young, he is really angry."
"Oh, if I had known it would be a waste of time to work for a few days, I might as well follow Brother Su and stay in the inn."
"I see, then Mao Yinglang may have left Lion Heart City long ago."
"Unfortunately, I missed Baihu!"
"Brother Su, you have to be careful when you go out, don't run into Mao Yinglang"
"I'd better take a good rest at the inn, I really can't move anymore."
"Brother Su, be careful, remember to bring your bow and crossbow."
"Oh, I almost forgot, thank you Brother Lu for reminding me."
"."
In the past few days, they were already exhausted to the point of death. How could they even have the mind to visit the Jiaofang Division? They all shook their heads and expressed that they wanted to rest at the inn.
Then, under the watchful eye of Lu Ze and others, Su Yu carried the cloth bag with the crossbow and walked towards Jiaofangsi.
Seeing Su Yuyuan's back, Gu Daoyuan couldn't help but said: "You guys think, is it possible that Brother Su just got lucky and met Mao Yinglang on the road?"
Hearing Gu Daoyuan's words, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Yin Qianshun said quietly: "Brother Gu, if Brother Su really encounters the Jingzhe tonight, it is definitely not bad luck, but bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Lu Ze couldn't help but nodded, and said with a smile: "I saw Tong Hui and He Bohong, two adults from a hundred households, on the street this morning. Since their injuries are almost healed, do you think the wound on Jing Zhe To what extent should the injury recover?"
"He dares to patrol the streets with a bow and crossbow now, and he is afraid that there will be suspense in the end if he encounters Jingzhe."
"Brother Lu is right."
He Wenqiang couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Warrior's recovery speed is already fast. From my point of view, Jing Zhe's injuries are almost healed, but according to my guess, Jing Zhe may have left Lion Heart City long ago."
"Alas, it's a pity that after so many days, there are no warriors in the rivers and lakes to hunt and kill the iron-clad lions, and I have no chance to taste the delicacy of the lion's heart."
At this moment, Wu Ling walked in from the outside, everyone hurriedly stopped discussing, and then stood up to say hello: "Miss Ling."
"Ok!"
Wu Ling nodded, and then said: "After discussing with the other seven adults from hundreds of households, it is deduced that Jing Zhe may have escaped from Lion Heart City, and the arrest mission has failed. Everyone has worked hard during this time, rest for a night tonight, and leave tomorrow Return to Tai'an City."
After finishing speaking, Wu Ling couldn't help but looked around, but didn't see Su Yu, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, where is Su Yu?"
Hearing Wu Ling ask about Su Yu, everyone had smirks on their faces.
"Cough cough."
Yin Qianshun coughed dryly, and then said: "After our persuasion, Su Yu is full of longing for the position of a hundred households. He went to the streets to inspect, and wanted to see if he had a chance to meet Jingzhe."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yin Qianshun with strange expressions.
They can't tell Wu Ling that Su Yu went to Jiaofang Division, right?
Hearing Yin Qianshun's answer, Wu Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "Then I hope he is less lucky. With the recovery power of a warrior in the Iron Bone realm, most of Jing Zhe's injuries must have healed. It is not a serious accident for him to meet Jing Zhe. Good thing."
"Okay, when Su Yu comes back, tell him what I said, and everyone will return to Tai'an City tomorrow morning."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
Immediately Wu Ling stopped talking and walked straight to his room.
"Finally willing to go out."
Su Yu's deity was still on his way, but with the avatar of the colorful exquisite dice on his body, he had already noticed that Mao Yinglang stuffed a bag of top-quality Yuanjing hidden in the secret room into his arms, and then walked towards the mouth of the well.
"Heh, it seems that this time not only can you get the head, but you can also get a lot of money for nothing."
Su Yu was secretly happy when his consciousness noticed this scene.
"boom!"
Mao Yinglang gently lifted the ruins above the manhole cover, making a dull sound in the night.
Mao Yinglang glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, turned over and jumped out of the well.
"Hey, no matter what the people in Zhen Wusi think, they won't think that I'm hiding under these ruins, right?"
Mao Yinglang looked around and murmured in a low voice: "Unfortunately, all these years of business management have disappeared in one day."
"but."
Mao Yinglang's eyes lit up, and he murmured in a low voice: "As long as I'm still here, then sooner or later, I'll be able to have all of this again. It's just a matter of time."
"And this crisis, for me, is also an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of the year organization!"
Becoming a member of the year organization is something he can't help himself.
Every year, it is necessary to complete a certain amount of tasks for the organization and collect a lot of wealth for the organization.
Ever since Mao Yinglang became Jingzhe, he always thought that one day he would be able to escape from the control of the Nian organization, and then live the life he wanted.
But he also knows that this is not an easy task.
Mr. Kechun was arrested, and he finally saw the hope of getting rid of the Nian organization.
"Really?"
"I have been waiting for you for many days."
Suddenly, a voice suddenly came from behind, causing Mao Yinglang's complexion to change drastically.
Who is the other party?
How could he just appear behind him so silently, but he didn't notice it at all? !
Master!
Mao Yinglang's hairs stood on end at this moment.
This is the body warning him!
Run away!
Without any hesitation, he suddenly rushed forward, trying to get out of the range of the opponent's sneak attack on him.
"Huh~"
There was a chuckle in his ears, and Mao Yinglang found ripples in the air behind him, and then a black hole vortex appeared, and the terrifying suction burst out at this moment.
"what?!"
Mao Yinglang's complexion changed drastically, and he found that the figure he rushed forward was sprinting towards the direction behind him at a faster speed.
He turned his head in disbelief, and a middle-aged man in solid clothes appeared in his sight.
The middle-aged man held a white bone staff in his hand, and there was a huge vortex above his head, which was attracting everything around him.
"This is Meng Po Staff!!"
As a member of the Nian organization, how could he have never heard of the power of Meng Po's stick.
Mao Yinglang's heart was beating wildly, and he ran wildly, desperately trying to get out of the range of the whirlpool.
But he is only an iron-bone warrior, and he has no way to resist this terrifying suction, so he can only watch his body approaching the whirlpool in despair
"Fight!"
At the juncture of life and death, Mao Yinglang's heart was ruthless, and he no longer resisted this terrifying suction, but used this suction to go straight to Su Yu who was holding Meng Po's stick.
With a flick of his wrist, a delicate and small dagger fell into his palm and wiped towards Su Yu's throat.
Seeing the cold light on the dagger, Su Yu smiled lightly and said, "You should use this dagger to skin people, right?"
Mao Yinglang's pupils shrank, and the other party actually knew about his unique hobby?
It's just that at this moment, he has no way out, and can only hope for a chance of life with the belief of pulling the other party to die together.
As long as the opponent avoids his knife, he still has a chance to escape.
But the next moment, the scene that caught Mao Yinglang's eyes shocked his face.
'puff! '
There were bone wings stretched out from Su Yu's back, and then protected his whole body.
"呲"
The knife Mao Yinglang swung struck the bone wing, making an ear-piercing and sharp sound.
"It's over."
His own life-threatening blow was easily dispelled by the opponent, and then looking at the whirlpool only a few feet away from him, Mao Yinglang's heart was completely disheartened.
What made him feel lucky was that the black hole emitting a terrifying vortex gradually weakened its suction.
"good chance!"
Mao Yinglang's eyes lit up, and then he put his foot on Su Yuhe's bone wing, and took the opportunity to pull away.
Just when he thought he had a chance to escape, a young man with a handsome face appeared on the path he must pass before he knew when.
The young man was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and he was raising his hand to the center of his brow.
"not good!"
Mao Yinglang's heart skipped a beat.
He once placed two bows and crossbows in his secret room.
And the size of the cloth bag held by the young man in front of him is no different from that of a crossbow.
Crossbow!
Mao Yinglang desperately wanted to stop, but he was still a step too slow.
"call out!"
After the crossbow trigger was pulled, the arrows pierced the air, bringing up howling winds.
If there were outsiders here, they would be astonished to see a strange scene. Mao Yinglang went straight to Su Yu who was holding a bow and crossbow, as if he was going to die
"puff!"
The distance between the two sides was only three feet, and the speed of the arrows was so fast that Mao Yinglang had no chance to dodge.
The crossbow directly penetrated between the eyebrows and nailed to the wall tens of feet away.
Mao Yinglang's forward figure suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Su Yu who appeared at some point before falling to the ground.
"Fortunately, I withdrew my strength in advance, otherwise, if you were sucked into the vortex with no bones left, would I take a pile of minced meat and go back to work?"
The avatar looked at Mao Yinglang, who had no breath on the ground, and couldn't help underestimating, then handed Po Meng's stick to the deity, who then put it into the interspatial ring.
After the avatar left, Su Yu glanced at the mouth of the well not far away, and then murmured: "This can be regarded as revenge for you."
Then Su Yu took out the cloth bag of Yuanjing from Mao Yinglang's body and stuffed it into the interspatial ring, then carried the crossbow in his left hand and Mao Yinglang's body in his right, and walked towards the inn.
When Su Yu appeared at the inn carrying Mao Yinglang's body, everyone was stunned.
"Brother Su, what are you?"
Yin Qianshun opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and murmured involuntarily.
"boom!"
Su Yu casually threw Mao Yinglang's body on the ground, and then said with a chuckle: "It seems that I'm lucky, I happened to run into Jingzhe who was sneaking out of the city on the way to Jiaofangsi."
"Fortunately, he was shot by me with one arrow!"
Even Wu Ling who rushed over couldn't help being stunned when he looked at the corpse on the ground.
She thought about any possibility, but never thought that it would be Su Yu who killed Mao Yinglang with a crossbow arrow.
She and the other seven hundred households were even forced to admit that the mission had failed, thinking about returning to Tai'an City tomorrow.
But now Su Yu gave her a big surprise and brought back Mao Yinglang's body.
Wu Ling opened his mouth and moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
As for Lu Ze and the others, they slowly recovered from the shock, and then looked at Su Yu blankly.
This guy just went out tonight, and then killed Mao Yinglang with the crossbow in his hand?
They left early and returned late every day, and they didn't even see Mao Yinglang's shadow.
This guy ran into Mao Yinglang on his way to the Jiaofang Division?
What kind of shit luck is this?
Lu Ze said in a daze: "Is Zhenwusi going to produce a Baihu adult who is in the body training state?"
Wu Ling finally came to his senses at this time, and then looked around and said: "Lu Bo, Lu Ze, Gu Daoyuan, Lin Canglan, hurry up and call the seven hundred adults over, and say that Mao Yinglang has been killed gone."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, and then hurried downstairs to report to the seven adults of Baihu.
Wu Ling looked at Su Yu, who was the only one left in the field, and said with a pretty face, "Su Yu, tell me the whole process of killing Mao Yinglang!"
"Yes!"
Su Yu nodded, and then spoke out the draft he had already prepared.
"I'm just tired of staying in the inn, and I want to go to the Jiaofang Division to find a girl to talk about my ideals in life."
Hearing Su Yu's first words, Wu Ling's pretty face suddenly looked old.
Those guys even lied to her, saying that Su Yu went out to find Mao Yinglang
But she didn't blame Su Yu, and motioned him to continue talking.
"But on the road, I saw a person walking furtively on the road, I paid attention, and then secretly followed."
"After confirming that he is the Mao Yinglang we were looking for, my first thought was to go back and call for someone. Master Wu also knows that I am only a body-refining warrior, so how can I be an opponent of an iron-bone warrior?"
"But I just wanted to leave, and I was worried that I would ask someone to come back. It will be several hours later. I'm afraid it will not be easy to find him again."
"I thought about it. In order to prevent him from running away, I thought of carrying a crossbow with me for protection."
"In the end, I used the bow and crossbow in my hand to suddenly pull the trigger while he was not paying attention, and then the crossbow arrow hit his forehead."
Su Yu said with lingering fear: "Lord Wu, I have to admit that this is probably the closest I have come to death. If I miss, I may be the one who dies."
After listening to what Su Yu said, Wu Ling stared blankly at him.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Su Yu was lucky or not.
(End of this chapter)
It's just that things didn't work out as expected, eight hundred households led their horse boys, and the area they will guard has stretched for several miles on both sides of the river.
After waiting for several hours, there was no trace of Mao Yinglang's appearance.
At this time, the sky was already turning pale. They had already been in a bad state of mind when they rushed over from Yuheng City, and now they were tense and searched for several hours, and they were even more exhausted at this moment.
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"My lord, no!"
"."
When Wu Ling rushed over to inspect, all the captains under his command shook their heads.
Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
So many hundreds of households participated in this arrest mission, but Mao Yinglang managed to escape. If it gets out, it will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Zhenwu Division.
Wu Ling's pretty face also looked a bit ugly, and then said: "Everyone is tired all day tonight, let's go to an inn to have a good rest."
"I still have to discuss with the other Baihu adults, and I'll go find you when the time comes!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Among the crowd, Su Yu couldn't help being a little surprised. Where did Mao Yinglang hide after he jumped into the river?
His two clones guarded in the dark, and never found any trace of Mao Yinglang going ashore.
In addition, his body used the colorful exquisite dice to radiate consciousness, and he never noticed the trace of Mao Yinglang's appearance. He seemed to have evaporated suddenly in the river.
But he knew very well that Mao Yinglang could not disappear for no reason.
There must be something that none of them noticed.
It was with the help of this secret that Mao Yinglang successfully escaped the arrest.
"How did he do that?"
Su Yu couldn't help thinking secretly.
After a night of searching, everyone was already hungry, so they found a noodle shop for breakfast.
While waiting for the beef noodles to be served, Yin Qianshun couldn't help but said, "Tell me, where did this guy code-named Jingzhe hide? It stands to reason that even if he is a warrior of the Iron Bone realm, he should come out to breathe, right?"
Qin Rui frowned and said: "In my opinion, the river itself is a way for him to escape. This guy is really cautious. Maybe a long time ago, he had already planned to use the river when he was surrounded. Get away, and this river channel is in a situation he is familiar with, he is equivalent to occupying a favorable position."
He Wenqiang took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Everyone saw it last night. He was shot by many crossbow arrows. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. There is definitely no way to escape from the city. As long as he goes door to door, he should be can find him."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him with strange expressions.
Seeing the strange look in everyone's eyes, He Wenqiang couldn't help saying: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Brother He, don't let Mr. Wu hear what you said just now."
Lu Ze shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The resident population of Lion Heart City is more than 50. With only our people, how long do you think it will take to find him?"
"And this Lionheart City is his permanent residence. It's impossible that he didn't leave a few nests in the city. Let's look here today, and he will hide there. When we search there tomorrow, he will hide here. .”
"And that river runs through the entire Lionheart City, and we have no way of knowing whether he has already used this river to leave the city."
"Once the hundreds of adults above let us search the city, we will be the ones who will die from exhaustion."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
They are too lazy to do such thankless things.
If Mao Yinglang is really found out, the danger will be borne by himself, and the credit will be given to the adults above, who will be happy?
At this moment, Wu Ling, who had discussed with the other seven hundred adults, turned back again.
"Miss Wuda Ling, here!"
Seeing Wu Ling walking towards the inn, Lu Bo hurriedly waved to her.
Seeing everyone, Wu Ling walked over here.
After ordering the shopkeeper to serve an extra bowl of noodles, Xu Benzhi couldn't help asking: "Miss Ling, what do the other adults say?"
Now that Mao Yinglang has successfully escaped, the decisions made by those hundreds of adults are still very important.
They let the people below search the city, even if they don't want to, they have to hold their noses to do it.
But if the adults of a few hundred families feel that there is no chance to find Mao Yinglang and choose to return to Tai'an City, then their mission will be considered as over.
Everyone was naturally happy to return to Tai'an City as soon as possible.
Even if Mao Yinglang has been seriously injured, he is still a warrior of iron bone level, far from being able to deal with them like the captain of copper skin level.
Facing everyone's eyes, Wu Ling said: "My lords have said that each of you will take someone to stay in Lion Heart City for a few days, to see if there is a chance to catch Jing Zhe's appearance."
Hearing Wu Ling's words, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that several hundred adults have not yet accepted the fact that Mao Yinglang escaped successfully.
Then Wu Ling glanced at everyone again, and then slowly said: "I have already discussed with the other seven hundred adults, and this kind of accident in this mission is something that no one expected."
"Jingzhe took advantage of the location and successfully escaped, but he was already seriously injured!"
"The strength he can display now is less than [-]%!"
"But you all have bows and crossbows. Even though there is still a certain gap between your personal strength and Jing Zhe, you have already gotten infinitely closer."
"In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for completing this mission, I and the other seven hundred households have unanimously decided that no matter who kills Jingzhe, the merits of this mission belong to him alone."
Speaking of this, Wu Ling couldn't help but glanced at Su Yu, and then said: "In short, as long as any one of you can kill Jingzhe, you will get a fifth-level meritorious service and get the chance to be promoted to a hundred households in an exceptional way." !"
Hearing Wu Ling's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and then they each looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.
Even the corners of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"It seems that the eight hundred adults are all gone. Now I want to use the merits of this mission to attract everyone's enthusiasm for this mission."
Su Yu slandered endlessly.
Obviously, these eight Baihu adults are very clear that if they just go back and report to their orders, what is waiting for them may be His Majesty who is furious, and then because of ineffectiveness, they will be dismissed from their Baihu positions
They were finally promoted to the position of Baihu, how could they watch such a thing happen to them?
Now we can only do the last remedy, which is to use the rich merits of this mission to mobilize the horse boys below to work hard!
As long as the horse boys below work hard and complete this task, they may not be able to get any benefits from this task, but at least they can keep their positions in Baihu.
But once this task is really impossible to complete, then the job of a hundred households may really be lost
As for which school captain Jing Zhe was killed by, they didn't care at all, what they cared about was taking Jing Zhe's body back to a mission!
Wu Ling's words undoubtedly moved them.
For them, this is indeed a rare opportunity.
The guy code-named Jingzhe obviously has only one breath left, as long as he makes up for it, he can succeed Baihu. How tempting is that?
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Su Yu felt secretly happy, these adults' skills in making cakes are indeed amazing.
"Guest officers, please use your noodles slowly."
The shopkeeper put the noodles on the table one by one, and said with a smile.
Wu Ling didn't observe the changes in the faces of the people, but just took out the chopsticks and scrubbed them carefully, and said persuasively, "Of course, the choice is yours."
"If you feel really tired, you can also choose to go to the inn to rest."
"But if there are also those who have confidence in completing the task, they will work harder. Maybe the pie in the sky will fall on their own heads."
"After all, it is not an easy task to be promoted to Baihu."
"Now the opportunity is in front of us, whether we can grasp it or not, it all depends on ourselves"
"Everyone said, is it such a reason?"
Hearing Wu Ling's words, the corners of Su Yu's mouth twitched.
"It seems that Wu Yuanpan's death has brought about a huge change in her mind."
Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Before this, he had only discovered this huge change in another person.
That is Wu Ling's fourth brother, Wu Chen.
The former fourth brother Wu Chen was an arrogant and domineering young master.
But because his limbs were beheaded, his mind changed drastically.
What Wu Ling said just now made Su Yu feel the same.
And this kind of change obviously happened recently. It is obvious that Wu Yuanpan's death caused Wu Ling to undergo a huge transformation.
If it was before, Wu Ling would definitely not be able to utter such sophisticated words.
Then the atmosphere fell into an extremely weird state, Wu Ling ate the noodles as if no one was around, as if the words just now did not come from her mouth.
The others looked at each other, and then began to eat noodles.
It's just that their eating speed is obviously much faster than Wu Ling's.
Almost like a whirlwind, they quickly finished the noodles in their respective bowls.
"Miss Daling, I'm not sleepy yet, I'll go to both sides of the river to see."
After Yin Qianshun finished speaking, he carried the cloth bag with the crossbow and walked towards the river.
Then there are Lu Bo, Lin Canglan, Gu Daoyuan, Lu Ze.
In the end, only Su Yu was left eating noodles in a leisurely manner.
Wu Ling glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "Su Yu, why don't you try it?"
Su Yu didn't eat the cake she drew, which undoubtedly surprised her.
She couldn't help but say something more: "Su Yu, you only have the cultivation level of Body Refining Realm now, if you are promoted to Hundred Households by virtue of this mission, you will be the first one to be promoted to Zhenwusi in all parts of Kyushu."
"Since the establishment of the Zhenwu Division, there has never been a body-refinement-level martial artist serving as a person of a hundred households."
"Why don't you take this opportunity to let yourself go one step further."
The corners of Su Yu's mouth turned slightly, and he said with a light smile, "Thanks to Miss Wu Ling's appreciation, but I feel that I am content as a captain now."
"I have always believed in a truth, that is, to make money, you have to spend your life, otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it is meaningless."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wu Ling's eyes lit up.
Yes.
You have to spend your life to make money, otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it's just for others.
This guy is indeed a smart guy.
It would be too difficult for a body-refining martial artist to participate in the arrest of a criminal in the Iron Bone Realm.
Immediately, she stopped persuading Jing Zhe, this search of Jing Zhe, not one more Su Yu, not one less him, will not have much impact on the overall situation at all.
After eating the noodles, the two went to the inn to rest.
Su Yu walked into his room and lay on the bed, lost in thought.
"Where did Mao Yinglang hide?"
"Obviously, using the river to escape the hunt is a back road he left for himself long ago."
"If I were him, it is impossible not to know that there will be people stationed along the coast layer by layer. Once they find me ashore, they will inevitably encounter the crisis of death."
"In this case, how to get out?"
Su Yu's thoughts turned sharply, thinking about how Mao Yinglang escaped.
Even he had to sigh that Mao Yinglang was indeed a cautious person.
First, he put a dummy on the bed in his wing room, and then set up a special secret room, and even placed two bows and crossbows as self-defense weapons.
From the various methods Mao Yinglang displayed, it can be seen that Mao Yinglang is an extremely cunning person.
And the river next to his lair is another means of escape for him.
Nearly [-] school lieutenants can be said to have laid a net on both sides of the river. Once he landed, he would not be able to escape the possibility of being shot.
But under such circumstances, Mao Yinglang just disappeared into the river out of thin air, leaving them in vain.
Su Yu couldn't help being curious, where did this guy hide?
Even if he is already dead, there must be a body, right?
But they also sent people to dive into the river to observe everything below the river, but they did not find Mao Yinglang's body.
Since there is no corpse, it means that he probably used some method to escape successfully.
"He is seriously injured now, even if he is bleeding, it is enough for him to face death."
"If my guess is correct, he should still be in Lionheart City right now, he just escaped with the help of the river, and then hid in a hidden corner to bandage his wounds."
"Could it be."
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if thinking of something, he murmured involuntarily: "The place where he jumped into the river is not far from his mansion."
"Since no trace of him has been found for several miles on both sides of the river, is it possible that he dug a secret passage in the river, making others mistakenly think that he has dived into the river, but actually got into the one he prepared in advance? Secret Road?"
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately made a clone rush towards the position where his real deity was.
After the avatar flitted out of the window, Su Yu handed over the colorful exquisite dice in his hand.
After getting the seven-colored exquisite dice, the avatar once again flew towards the place where Mao Yinglang jumped into the river.
When he arrived at the place where Mao Yinglang was jumping into the river, there were already many figures on both sides of the river wearing hard clothes and strolling around with a cloth bag in their hands, looking at everyone he saw.
These people are naturally the school lieutenants under the eight hundred households.
It was obvious that these guys were all attracted by the painted cakes. Although their faces were tired, their spirits were still extremely excited, and they were sitting in their minds with dreams of breaking the rules and being promoted to the rank of one hundred households.
And the cloth bags in their respective hands are naturally the bows and crossbows they rely on for their meritorious deeds.
Forbidden weapons such as bows and crossbows are not tolerated by the world after all, and they can't carry them in the open to be seen by others.
Anyway, whether it is placed in a cloth bag or held in the hand, the role of the bow and crossbow will not be greatly reduced.
Seeing Su Yu approaching, the eyes of these people immediately became wary.
In particular, Su Yu's avatar was not carrying a cloth bag, which meant that Su Yu was not one of them.
Su Yu ignored them, and used the colorful exquisite dice to spread out his consciousness, then swept across the river, and searched the entire Mao Mansion inch by inch.
Since Mao Yinglang never came ashore after jumping into the river, Su Yu very much suspected that this guy probably took advantage of the moment of jumping into the river, and then sneaked into the underground of Mao's mansion.
After all, according to the prudence shown by this guy, it is very possible for this guy to dig a few secret passages and basements under his own house.
However, vents must be set up for these secret rooms. Su Yu wanted to see if he could use his spiritual sense to search Mao Yinglang's mansion carefully to see if there was a secret room underground in the Mao family.
After the great battle last night, most of the current Mao family has already been reduced to ruins.
Especially in front of the wing where Mao Yinglang was, the ground was in a mess, with rubble everywhere.
As for the handymen and maids of Mao Yinglang's family, as well as people from various industries under him, they have been arrested and interrogated by the people of Zhenwusi to see if they can get any news about Mao Yinglang from these servants.
The current Mao Mansion is empty and quiet, but from time to time, someone climbs up the courtyard wall and looks at the ruins inside Mao's house with wandering eyes.
When a rich family like Mao Yinglang suddenly leaves the building empty, people will naturally pay attention to see if they can find some valuable items from the ruins.
"It is impossible for him to set the entrance to the secret passage only in the river, such access is inconvenient"
"And in this mansion, there must be an entrance for him to enter the underground secret room that may exist."
"Of course, this is all just speculation on my part"
Su Yu used his spiritual sense to scan the entire Mao's house inside and out, but he didn't find any air holes.
This made him a little suspicious.
Didn't Mao Yinglang dig out a secret room in the basement of his house?
"No, it's impossible for a cunning guy like him not to dig a few underground chambers to hide in."
"There must be some place that I have overlooked, and this place is a blowhole, which can allow him to live safely underground for a long time."
"It's just that I have scanned it with my spiritual sense, but I haven't found such a blow hole."
Su Yu frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
At this point in the mission, all the clues seemed to come to an abrupt end.
Su Yu, who was still waiting to rely on Mao Yinglang to make money, was naturally a little unwilling to accept such a result.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sound of falling water interrupted Su Yu's thoughts.
Su Yu couldn't help but turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
It was a woman who was washing clothes. She was hanging a wooden bucket into the river by a rope, and then swung it from side to side. The wooden bucket sank and quickly filled a bucket of water. The cask was brought up again
Seeing this scene, Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I see."
"The air hole is in the well, and the mouth of the well is also the door for him to enter and exit the secret room!"
When he scanned the entire Mao family with his spiritual sense before, he didn't expect that there would be a hidden hole in the well.
But apart from the well, the Mao family did not have any access to the ground.
If it wasn't for the woman who used a wooden barrel to fetch water from the river, Su Yu would not even have thought that the secret chamber and air hole could be used as a wellhead.
Su Yu radiated his consciousness again, and then swept towards the mouth of the well closest to the wing where Mao Yinglang was.
If Mao Yinglang would dig a secret room under Mao's house, he would definitely choose a wellhead closest to his residence.
In the courtyard in front of Mao Yinglang's main wing room, there is a well, which is mostly covered by dense vegetation. If you don't look carefully, you will never find that there is another well here.
Su Yu's consciousness came to the mouth of the well, and then extended all the way down the well.
As he expected, the position five meters below the wellhead was artificially widened, and an iron gate appeared in sight.
Spiritual consciousness passed through the iron gate, and the inside suddenly opened up.
"Did he hollow out the Mao family's underground?"
Under the glance of his divine sense, Su Yu was secretly speechless.
In this underground, there is not only a living room, but also a hut, each room is almost a replica of the ground.
Of course, these underground rooms are not as big as those above ground.
And in a dim corner, Su Yu saw a pile of bones and digging tools.
"It seems that the people who dug these secret rooms for him should have been silenced by him."
Su Yu groaned in his heart, and his consciousness penetrated into a room, and everything in it made Su Yu's expression tremble.
What caught within the scanning range of his spiritual sense turned out to be beautiful skins.
And these human skins were all slowly peeled off from the back.
Roughly counting, at least no less than a hundred.
A piece of human skin corresponds to the fresh life of a young woman
Seeing those human skins, Su Yu couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.
Behind all these human skins are Mao Yinglang's unspeakable crimes.
And these are still finished products. Before getting these finished products, how many lives did he carelessly practice his skinning skills?
Su Yu's consciousness continued to extend inward, and what caught his eyes was a pool of water several feet in size.
"If my guess is correct, this water pool should be connected to the river outside, and there should be an entrance at the bottom of the river, leading to this water pool."
Su Yu secretly sighed, Mao Yinglang's caution was beyond his imagination, and it really made him understand what is called the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit.
"cough cough"
At this moment, Su Yu's spiritual sense finally detected the movement underground.
"finally found you."
Su Yu's consciousness swept along the place where the sound came from, and finally found the right person he was looking for on this trip, Mao Yinglang.
He looked very miserable at the moment, with a knife wound on his chest and back, but he had been properly bandaged.
In addition to these two stab wounds, he also had wounds pierced by seven crossbow arrows.
"This guy is really lucky. So many arrows shot at him, but none of them hurt his vitals."
Su Yu shook his head secretly, not to lament this guy's good luck.
Possessing the cultivation base of an iron-bone warrior, Mao Yinglang's physical recovery speed has been extremely fast.
Unless he was killed on the spot, the injuries on his body would recover quickly.
In addition to the two knife wounds with deep bones that were still oozing blood, the seven wounds pierced by crossbow arrows had already formed blood scabs, and these blood scabs would fall off within three days at most.
And three days later, the two stab wounds on his chest and back will also form bleeding scabs, and most of his strength will be restored.
In just ten days, all the injuries on his body will recover, and his weight will reach its peak.
"Hmm~"
He applied medicine to his wound again, and the severe pain caused the veins on Mao Yinglang's forehead to pop up, and his complexion became a little hideous.
This process lasted for a while, and Mao Yinglang was already drenched with sweat.
However, Mao Yinglang breathed a sigh of relief seeing the injury that was healing rapidly.
"Hey, they probably wouldn't have thought that I was just under the ruins last night, right?"
Mao Yinglang's eyes flickered coldly, and he murmured in a hoarse voice.
He couldn't help looking up at the top of his head, and then murmured in a low voice: "I really didn't expect that the person who came in the morning was not a Jianghu warrior, but Zhen Wusi!"
"The only person who knows where I live is Mr. Chun, since it's someone from Zhen Wusi who came here."
"Could it be that Master Chun has been captured by Zhen Wusi?"
"If that's the case, then I've lost contact with Nian!"
"Hey, that's fine, I finally don't have to be constrained by the year organization, and I can live the life I want from now on."
"It seems that this time it's not a lot of thunder and rain, the court is determined to wipe out all the members of the Nian organization in the territory of Wei."
"It seems that Da Wei can't stay for long."
"That's good, I can just take this opportunity to escape from the control of the Nian organization and go to the Western Zhou Dynasty to make a comeback"
"Based on the money I've saved over the years, it should be enough for me to jump into the world."
"."
Su Yu used his spiritual sense to observe quietly, and then couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
If it is as expected, in the next few days, Mao Yinglang should not choose to leave the underground secret room in order to repair his injuries.
It is not known exactly where the entrance to the river outside is.
There is an iron gate at the entrance of the well, his spiritual consciousness can enter, but that doesn't mean his body can sneak in.
Once he hits the iron gate, it will inevitably cause a huge noise.
And Mao Yinglang was able to react immediately, and then retreated quickly with the help of the water pool.
Obviously, to deal with Mao Yinglang, one cannot go to the secret room below to deal with him.
Because this guy is like a mouse, and he still prepared a retreat for himself.
"It seems that we can only wait for him to come out of this mouse hole, and then find a chance to deal with him."
A strange light flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.
Since there is no way to sneak into the ground to deal with Mao Yinglang, we can only wait for him to come out of the secret room, and then find a way to deal with him.
Immediately, Su Yu found an inn for his avatar that was closest to Mao's house. In this inn, Mao Yinglang's every move could be observed.
On the first day, except for Su Yu who slept soundly in the inn, the other eight lieutenants all returned with excited expressions, as if the position of a hundred households was already at their fingertips.
During dinner, several people combined their own speculations to conclude that Mao Yinglang was still in the city, and even persuaded Su Yu to go out to try his luck.
Su Yu showed a flustered expression, but shook his head and said, "I'm a body-training martial artist, so my life is the most important thing."
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Only a few hours passed, and not long after night fell, everyone got up excitedly, then carried their bows and crossbows, and walked towards the place where they thought Mao Yinglang was most likely to appear.
On the second night, everyone's expressions were obviously not as excited as the first day. They just finished their dinner in silence, then went back to their room to rest for several hours, and then went out to watch.
On the third night, Qin Rui and Yin Qianshun accepted the reality. After dinner, they would sleep soundly, and the other six continued to go out and squat.
On the fourth night, Xu Benzhi, He Wenqiang, and Lu Bo chose to accept the reality after Qin Rui and Yin Qianshun's persuasion, while Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, and Gu Daoyuan still went out to guard in unbelief.
On the fifth night, Lu Ze, Lin Canglan, and Gu Daoyuan also accepted the reality and stopped going out to guard.
They are all warriors, and they are well aware of the resilience of warriors.
Five days have passed, and it is estimated that Mao Yinglang's injuries have mostly recovered.
At this time, even if the other party appears, it is really hard to say who is the prey.
The position of Baihu is indeed attractive, but one has to be lucky enough to be promoted.
If the little life is not guaranteed, the hundred households are meaningless.
"Hey, everyone, it looks like we'll have to stay in Lion Heart City for a few more days. Do you want to go to the Jiaofang Division tonight? Experience the humanistic style of Lion Heart City?"
After dinner, Su Yu asked with a smirk.
From the information detected by his avatar placed in the Mao's Inn, Mao Yinglang's injuries are almost healed now. Seeing that he started to pack his things, it is very likely that he will leave tonight.
After staying in the inn for so many days, it's time for him to go out to loosen his muscles.
Hearing that Su Yu was going to visit the Jiaofang Division, everyone had smiles that only men could understand.
Yin Qianshun blinked at him, and said with a smirk: "Brother Su is used to eating imperial food, can you still appreciate simple food?"
Su Yu chuckled and said: "Brother Yin, you don't know this, we must learn to adapt to local conditions."
"Brother Su is so young, he is really angry."
"Oh, if I had known it would be a waste of time to work for a few days, I might as well follow Brother Su and stay in the inn."
"I see, then Mao Yinglang may have left Lion Heart City long ago."
"Unfortunately, I missed Baihu!"
"Brother Su, you have to be careful when you go out, don't run into Mao Yinglang"
"I'd better take a good rest at the inn, I really can't move anymore."
"Brother Su, be careful, remember to bring your bow and crossbow."
"Oh, I almost forgot, thank you Brother Lu for reminding me."
"."
In the past few days, they were already exhausted to the point of death. How could they even have the mind to visit the Jiaofang Division? They all shook their heads and expressed that they wanted to rest at the inn.
Then, under the watchful eye of Lu Ze and others, Su Yu carried the cloth bag with the crossbow and walked towards Jiaofangsi.
Seeing Su Yuyuan's back, Gu Daoyuan couldn't help but said: "You guys think, is it possible that Brother Su just got lucky and met Mao Yinglang on the road?"
Hearing Gu Daoyuan's words, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
Yin Qianshun said quietly: "Brother Gu, if Brother Su really encounters the Jingzhe tonight, it is definitely not bad luck, but bad luck for eight lifetimes."
Lu Ze couldn't help but nodded, and said with a smile: "I saw Tong Hui and He Bohong, two adults from a hundred households, on the street this morning. Since their injuries are almost healed, do you think the wound on Jing Zhe To what extent should the injury recover?"
"He dares to patrol the streets with a bow and crossbow now, and he is afraid that there will be suspense in the end if he encounters Jingzhe."
"Brother Lu is right."
He Wenqiang couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Warrior's recovery speed is already fast. From my point of view, Jing Zhe's injuries are almost healed, but according to my guess, Jing Zhe may have left Lion Heart City long ago."
"Alas, it's a pity that after so many days, there are no warriors in the rivers and lakes to hunt and kill the iron-clad lions, and I have no chance to taste the delicacy of the lion's heart."
At this moment, Wu Ling walked in from the outside, everyone hurriedly stopped discussing, and then stood up to say hello: "Miss Ling."
"Ok!"
Wu Ling nodded, and then said: "After discussing with the other seven adults from hundreds of households, it is deduced that Jing Zhe may have escaped from Lion Heart City, and the arrest mission has failed. Everyone has worked hard during this time, rest for a night tonight, and leave tomorrow Return to Tai'an City."
After finishing speaking, Wu Ling couldn't help but looked around, but didn't see Su Yu, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, where is Su Yu?"
Hearing Wu Ling ask about Su Yu, everyone had smirks on their faces.
"Cough cough."
Yin Qianshun coughed dryly, and then said: "After our persuasion, Su Yu is full of longing for the position of a hundred households. He went to the streets to inspect, and wanted to see if he had a chance to meet Jingzhe."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Yin Qianshun with strange expressions.
They can't tell Wu Ling that Su Yu went to Jiaofang Division, right?
Hearing Yin Qianshun's answer, Wu Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "Then I hope he is less lucky. With the recovery power of a warrior in the Iron Bone realm, most of Jing Zhe's injuries must have healed. It is not a serious accident for him to meet Jing Zhe. Good thing."
"Okay, when Su Yu comes back, tell him what I said, and everyone will return to Tai'an City tomorrow morning."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"
Immediately Wu Ling stopped talking and walked straight to his room.
"Finally willing to go out."
Su Yu's deity was still on his way, but with the avatar of the colorful exquisite dice on his body, he had already noticed that Mao Yinglang stuffed a bag of top-quality Yuanjing hidden in the secret room into his arms, and then walked towards the mouth of the well.
"Heh, it seems that this time not only can you get the head, but you can also get a lot of money for nothing."
Su Yu was secretly happy when his consciousness noticed this scene.
"boom!"
Mao Yinglang gently lifted the ruins above the manhole cover, making a dull sound in the night.
Mao Yinglang glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, turned over and jumped out of the well.
"Hey, no matter what the people in Zhen Wusi think, they won't think that I'm hiding under these ruins, right?"
Mao Yinglang looked around and murmured in a low voice: "Unfortunately, all these years of business management have disappeared in one day."
"but."
Mao Yinglang's eyes lit up, and he murmured in a low voice: "As long as I'm still here, then sooner or later, I'll be able to have all of this again. It's just a matter of time."
"And this crisis, for me, is also an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of the year organization!"
Becoming a member of the year organization is something he can't help himself.
Every year, it is necessary to complete a certain amount of tasks for the organization and collect a lot of wealth for the organization.
Ever since Mao Yinglang became Jingzhe, he always thought that one day he would be able to escape from the control of the Nian organization, and then live the life he wanted.
But he also knows that this is not an easy task.
Mr. Kechun was arrested, and he finally saw the hope of getting rid of the Nian organization.
"Really?"
"I have been waiting for you for many days."
Suddenly, a voice suddenly came from behind, causing Mao Yinglang's complexion to change drastically.
Who is the other party?
How could he just appear behind him so silently, but he didn't notice it at all? !
Master!
Mao Yinglang's hairs stood on end at this moment.
This is the body warning him!
Run away!
Without any hesitation, he suddenly rushed forward, trying to get out of the range of the opponent's sneak attack on him.
"Huh~"
There was a chuckle in his ears, and Mao Yinglang found ripples in the air behind him, and then a black hole vortex appeared, and the terrifying suction burst out at this moment.
"what?!"
Mao Yinglang's complexion changed drastically, and he found that the figure he rushed forward was sprinting towards the direction behind him at a faster speed.
He turned his head in disbelief, and a middle-aged man in solid clothes appeared in his sight.
The middle-aged man held a white bone staff in his hand, and there was a huge vortex above his head, which was attracting everything around him.
"This is Meng Po Staff!!"
As a member of the Nian organization, how could he have never heard of the power of Meng Po's stick.
Mao Yinglang's heart was beating wildly, and he ran wildly, desperately trying to get out of the range of the whirlpool.
But he is only an iron-bone warrior, and he has no way to resist this terrifying suction, so he can only watch his body approaching the whirlpool in despair
"Fight!"
At the juncture of life and death, Mao Yinglang's heart was ruthless, and he no longer resisted this terrifying suction, but used this suction to go straight to Su Yu who was holding Meng Po's stick.
With a flick of his wrist, a delicate and small dagger fell into his palm and wiped towards Su Yu's throat.
Seeing the cold light on the dagger, Su Yu smiled lightly and said, "You should use this dagger to skin people, right?"
Mao Yinglang's pupils shrank, and the other party actually knew about his unique hobby?
It's just that at this moment, he has no way out, and can only hope for a chance of life with the belief of pulling the other party to die together.
As long as the opponent avoids his knife, he still has a chance to escape.
But the next moment, the scene that caught Mao Yinglang's eyes shocked his face.
'puff! '
There were bone wings stretched out from Su Yu's back, and then protected his whole body.
"呲"
The knife Mao Yinglang swung struck the bone wing, making an ear-piercing and sharp sound.
"It's over."
His own life-threatening blow was easily dispelled by the opponent, and then looking at the whirlpool only a few feet away from him, Mao Yinglang's heart was completely disheartened.
What made him feel lucky was that the black hole emitting a terrifying vortex gradually weakened its suction.
"good chance!"
Mao Yinglang's eyes lit up, and then he put his foot on Su Yuhe's bone wing, and took the opportunity to pull away.
Just when he thought he had a chance to escape, a young man with a handsome face appeared on the path he must pass before he knew when.
The young man was holding a cloth bag in his hand, and he was raising his hand to the center of his brow.
"not good!"
Mao Yinglang's heart skipped a beat.
He once placed two bows and crossbows in his secret room.
And the size of the cloth bag held by the young man in front of him is no different from that of a crossbow.
Crossbow!
Mao Yinglang desperately wanted to stop, but he was still a step too slow.
"call out!"
After the crossbow trigger was pulled, the arrows pierced the air, bringing up howling winds.
If there were outsiders here, they would be astonished to see a strange scene. Mao Yinglang went straight to Su Yu who was holding a bow and crossbow, as if he was going to die
"puff!"
The distance between the two sides was only three feet, and the speed of the arrows was so fast that Mao Yinglang had no chance to dodge.
The crossbow directly penetrated between the eyebrows and nailed to the wall tens of feet away.
Mao Yinglang's forward figure suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he stared blankly at Su Yu who appeared at some point before falling to the ground.
"Fortunately, I withdrew my strength in advance, otherwise, if you were sucked into the vortex with no bones left, would I take a pile of minced meat and go back to work?"
The avatar looked at Mao Yinglang, who had no breath on the ground, and couldn't help underestimating, then handed Po Meng's stick to the deity, who then put it into the interspatial ring.
After the avatar left, Su Yu glanced at the mouth of the well not far away, and then murmured: "This can be regarded as revenge for you."
Then Su Yu took out the cloth bag of Yuanjing from Mao Yinglang's body and stuffed it into the interspatial ring, then carried the crossbow in his left hand and Mao Yinglang's body in his right, and walked towards the inn.
When Su Yu appeared at the inn carrying Mao Yinglang's body, everyone was stunned.
"Brother Su, what are you?"
Yin Qianshun opened his mouth, widened his eyes, and murmured involuntarily.
"boom!"
Su Yu casually threw Mao Yinglang's body on the ground, and then said with a chuckle: "It seems that I'm lucky, I happened to run into Jingzhe who was sneaking out of the city on the way to Jiaofangsi."
"Fortunately, he was shot by me with one arrow!"
Even Wu Ling who rushed over couldn't help being stunned when he looked at the corpse on the ground.
She thought about any possibility, but never thought that it would be Su Yu who killed Mao Yinglang with a crossbow arrow.
She and the other seven hundred households were even forced to admit that the mission had failed, thinking about returning to Tai'an City tomorrow.
But now Su Yu gave her a big surprise and brought back Mao Yinglang's body.
Wu Ling opened his mouth and moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
As for Lu Ze and the others, they slowly recovered from the shock, and then looked at Su Yu blankly.
This guy just went out tonight, and then killed Mao Yinglang with the crossbow in his hand?
They left early and returned late every day, and they didn't even see Mao Yinglang's shadow.
This guy ran into Mao Yinglang on his way to the Jiaofang Division?
What kind of shit luck is this?
Lu Ze said in a daze: "Is Zhenwusi going to produce a Baihu adult who is in the body training state?"
Wu Ling finally came to his senses at this time, and then looked around and said: "Lu Bo, Lu Ze, Gu Daoyuan, Lin Canglan, hurry up and call the seven hundred adults over, and say that Mao Yinglang has been killed gone."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, and then hurried downstairs to report to the seven adults of Baihu.
Wu Ling looked at Su Yu, who was the only one left in the field, and said with a pretty face, "Su Yu, tell me the whole process of killing Mao Yinglang!"
"Yes!"
Su Yu nodded, and then spoke out the draft he had already prepared.
"I'm just tired of staying in the inn, and I want to go to the Jiaofang Division to find a girl to talk about my ideals in life."
Hearing Su Yu's first words, Wu Ling's pretty face suddenly looked old.
Those guys even lied to her, saying that Su Yu went out to find Mao Yinglang
But she didn't blame Su Yu, and motioned him to continue talking.
"But on the road, I saw a person walking furtively on the road, I paid attention, and then secretly followed."
"After confirming that he is the Mao Yinglang we were looking for, my first thought was to go back and call for someone. Master Wu also knows that I am only a body-refining warrior, so how can I be an opponent of an iron-bone warrior?"
"But I just wanted to leave, and I was worried that I would ask someone to come back. It will be several hours later. I'm afraid it will not be easy to find him again."
"I thought about it. In order to prevent him from running away, I thought of carrying a crossbow with me for protection."
"In the end, I used the bow and crossbow in my hand to suddenly pull the trigger while he was not paying attention, and then the crossbow arrow hit his forehead."
Su Yu said with lingering fear: "Lord Wu, I have to admit that this is probably the closest I have come to death. If I miss, I may be the one who dies."
After listening to what Su Yu said, Wu Ling stared blankly at him.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Su Yu was lucky or not.
