Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 180 Where did you go?
"Maybe one, maybe eight, no matter how many, they are now bringing the well-trained ghosts and blood corpse birds, with the skills they have learned, in exchange for everything that should belong to you, and you have to replace them All crimes."

"Dream!" Su Chang raised his head again.

"Anger is useless!" Yu Shi'an roared, "They are planning so carefully, they are sure to succeed, and as long as you are caught by us, you can ward off all the crimes. If it weren't for Wu Chen's good brains So, do you think that someone would suspect them? And you may still be expecting your good disciples to rescue you before you die, so naturally you refuse to tell their whereabouts. If I were you, I would arrest them even if I died. Together!"

"You let me go, I will deal with them myself!" Su Chang's eyes were already scarlet.

"You're dreaming!" Yu Shi'an slapped the table hard and stood up abruptly, which startled Wu Chen.

Su Chang was also taken aback, then lowered his head, panting heavily.

"The only one who can help you right now is me." Wu Chen said gently: "You only know where they are going, but this is not necessarily where they will end up. Since they can deceive you, they can also deceive others. Prince... He may not know that your apprentice is better than you. Isn't it easy for these people to want what they want? Plus they have ghosts in their hands. You said you can do anything but die ? Don’t forget, you are no longer the person you were a few days ago.”

Su Chang groaned twice, then suddenly burst into tears.

'Snapped! 'Yu Shi'an jumped up against the table, pulled out his sword, and shouted angrily: "You still have the face to cry?!"

"The blood of my life!"

Yu Shian was furious, so he swung his sword and stabbed at him. Wu Chen hurriedly stopped him. If someone else wanted to stop the furious Yu Shian alone, he might drag him a few steps, but Wu Chen only used one arm to block it. Then you can no longer take a step forward.

Wu Chen winked at Yu Shian, but said:

"The apprentices he has worked so hard to teach betrayed the master, and pushed the master to take the blame. Instead, they took the experience and achievements they had worked so hard to enjoy the rights, money and immortality. What do you think Su Chang doesn't cry? Woolen cloth?"

Yu Shian looked at Wu Chen's continuous winking, and the anger in his heart became less intense. He said angrily, "It's what you deserve! Let's just say where the eight apprentices went! Take care, wait." When you executed Ling Chi, they might just get what they wanted!"

"They, can I believe where they say they are going?" Su Chang asked with blank eyes.

"It depends on whether the person they are going to meet is with them, but I'm afraid you can't figure it out with your brain alone. You just need to tell me what they have said to you, and I will infer Where did they go?"

"They, they should have been taken to Longgu Mountain." Su Chang said weakly.

Wu Chen frowned. He thought for a while, and instead of asking Long Gushan first, he asked, "Prince Cheng, isn't he Prince Cheng?"

"It's Prince Cheng, but the man in Prince Cheng's mansion in Kyoto is not Prince Cheng. When I was in Kyoto, I followed Prince Cheng for more than 20 years. He knew what I was studying hard. I also knew that he made alchemy. Prince Cheng talked with me every day. , Suddenly one day he told me that he has found a place for me, and the manpower is ready, I just need to make what I want come true as soon as possible... He wants to seize the throne and live forever."

"The real Prince Cheng is in Longgu Mountain?" Wu Chen asked.

Su Chang shook his head:

"I don't know where Prince Cheng is. Prince Cheng originally said he was going to take the eight of them to the capital, but [-] soldiers were killed. The capital said they had to check first, and told me not to send any more living people into the cave. , spreading rumors about Yin soldiers robbing the Tao, if I find the cave, let me destroy the books and letters in the cave, don't care about other things, someone will take me away, but there has been no big movement in the past ten days , I received news that people in the capital were going to set off to pick them up. I was counting the time, and I should arrive in six days, but I don’t know..."

Su Chang paused and continued:
"Because you are going to close the mountain, it was late at night when I received the news. The eight of them said to go out before it was closed. I was worried that the eight of them would cause trouble outside, and I was a little hesitant. They persuaded me that even if the mountain was closed They shouldn’t be able to find out anything, but it’s easy to attract attention when they go out after closing the mountain. They also said that they only need to wait a day or two outside for people from Kyoto to arrive, so there’s no need to worry. I thought it made sense, so I agreed. I just asked casually, if the government becomes suspicious, they will definitely investigate strictly inside and outside the capital. The ghosts can tell me, how can the blood corpse bird be hidden? They said that if the capital cannot go, Prince Cheng will naturally send a message and ask them to go elsewhere .”

"elsewhere?"

"I admit that I have devoted my whole life to those ancient books..."

Before Su Chang finished speaking, Yu Shi'an was about to draw his sword again. Wu Chen stopped him and said, "He has gone mad and lost his humanity. There are still some people with evil intentions who have not been caught. Deputy Envoy Yu calm down, let us Bear with it a little longer."

Yu Shi'an turned his head to the other side angrily, while Su Chang laughed twice and said, "You say I'm brainless, but I don't admit it, but I didn't think about it, I'll tell you The truth is not all because of how those eight people treated me, I want to know...whether Prince Cheng knows about it?"

"What's in Dragon Valley Mountain?"

Su Chang shook his head again and said: "I've been in Laojie Mountain for more than ten years, and I seldom get involved in the affairs outside the mountain. When I became a prince, I wrote a letter and mentioned Longgu Mountain, saying that I can go to Longgu Mountain after I succeed."

"So you think it's very likely that the eight apprentices went to Longgu Mountain?"

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty!" Su Chang said expressionlessly: "The eight of them have never mentioned Longgu Mountain in front of me, and Prince Cheng's letter mentioned it. You can go to Dragon Valley Mountain. That has already explained everything, even if they go to Kyoto, they will go to Dragon Valley Mountain again, Laojie Mountain is still smaller."

Wu Chen and Yu Shi'an looked at each other, both of them were surprised, Laojie Mountain is still smaller? !How many ghosts do they have to train?
Wu Chen calmed down and asked again:

"Who do you think can persuade your eight apprentices to do such a rebellious thing? I don't think Prince Cheng would do such a thing like taking off his pants and farting. What's the difference between continuing to use you and using eight apprentices instead?" Wu Chen asked again.

"I don't know, they, they have only learned superficiality in my eyes, and they are powerless to do their own thing, otherwise this time I wouldn't let the eight of them go together!" Su Chang said a little excitedly: "Maybe they just want to grab credit, of course I wish I could be trapped by you, but if Prince Cheng asks them to do this, I, I..."

Wu Chen knew that Su Chang could not give him an answer to this question, so he interrupted Su Chang and asked:
"How many ghosts did they bring? How many blood corpse birds?"

　happy weekend!
