Faceless Young Master, Meishan Sect Tang Ling, and some unnamed gangsters, they are all Three Religions and Nine Schools, dressed as ordinary people.
All of them were in low spirits, and some even had injuries on their bodies.
Looking at these people, Sha LiFei said he was grateful, but his heart was filled with defensiveness.
About the time Li Yan entered Qingyang Palace, King of Shu suddenly appeared, and soldiers from the nearby guard station entered the city. In a short period of time, they completely took control of Chengdu.
The incident happened suddenly and no one received the news.
If Faceless Young Master hadn't suddenly come to the door to warn them and arranged for them to hide here, Sha LiFei and others might have been blamed.
"Hey, look, I'm scaring you."
Faceless Young Master stood up slowly and lost his previous politeness when speaking. He said in a cold voice, "We were all deceived by King of Shu. Now we are like grasshoppers on a rope. If we don't join forces, we will all die!"
Sha LiFei was unmoved, "How can I say this?"
"Young master, you're just pretending to be confused!"
Faceless Young Master seemed to have lost his patience and said in a deep voice, "There is something wrong with that King of Shu, and everyone is being manipulated by him."
"The Young Lord dispute was just a way to stir up trouble and involve many forces. Chengdu Prefecture officials, various guard generals, as well as the Cheng family and the Confucian sect, all forces are watching this matter. In order to avoid suspicion, Qingcheng Emei stayed as far away from Chengdu as possible, so they made room for him..."
"The conflict with the imperial court was intentional. No matter Commandery Commandant Office or the censor sent by the imperial court, they only wanted to prevent him from rebelling and were restrained in doing things, so they made time for King of Shu..."
"This was not his purpose from the beginning!"
As soon as these words came out, Sha LiFei and others were also secretly shocked.
Since arriving in Sichuan, the situation has been a mess. Dragon Worship Sect is causing trouble, the Salt Gang is fighting with Cao Gang and the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, and Young Lord is fighting for...
Even they, outsiders, focused on one thing and neglected the other.
After this Faceless Young Master's touch, the clouds suddenly cleared and everything seemed to be controlled by Shu King Residence.
From Jianghu to Imperial Court and Xuanmen, they are all a mess.
"What on earth does he want to do?!"
Sha LiFei quickly stood up and asked.
Their plan was to wait for Qingcheng Mountain and the Cheng family reinforcements to arrive, and then join forces with the censor to work together to catch the fake King of Shu.
But now it seems that King of Shu moves faster.
"Hmph!"
Faceless Young Master snorted coldly and said, "You guys at Guan County killed Ghost Opera Troupe's people, and you just left so carelessly. It's too arrogant."
"I and my men were sneak attacked by Ghost Opera Troupe's people. We suffered heavy casualties. We pretended to be afraid and fled, but in fact we have been hiding in the dark."
"After you left, the Guan County Yamen and the nearby guard station immediately sent people to block the river near Dujiangyan. I secretly investigated and discovered that King of Shu led a fleet and was busy in the river for several days, consuming countless Spiritual Material..."
"Their purpose was Dragon Palace Water Mansion from the beginning!"
After saying that, he looked at a few more people and sneered, "Don't even think about staying out of it or escaping Chengdu Prefecture."
"I sneaked in secretly and heard their conversation. Now everything is ready, except for the wind of two people."
"One part is with me, and the other part is with you!"
Wish-Fulfilling Pearl!
Sha LiFei As soon as he heard it, he knew what the other party was talking about.
No wonder, no matter how good the "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" is, it is only a National Sacrifice Divine Artifact. There are many others of the same level, but the King of Shu is not spared.
It turned out to be for this reason.
There is also the identity of King of Shu. If he is really parasitized by Lu Sheng, then the ultimate goal is probably to borrow Dragon Palace Water Mansion to catch Nine Cauldrons!
Sha LiFei's chest was filled with ups and downs, but he pretended to be confused, touched his bald head, and cursed, "That's it. Damn it, I wouldn't have taken it if I had known about it. I wonder if giving it back to King of Shu can expose this matter..."
It's still impossible to pay it back.
The reason why I say this is to test the attitude of these people.
Sure enough, after Faceless Young Master heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy, "We don't have much time, so stop playing tricks with me."
"At this point, no one can escape. Either they will be killed by King of Shu, or King of Shu will be killed. Let's divide the treasure!"
"This..."
Sha LiFei rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile, "You are Chengdu gangster Chief, a well-known senior in Shuzhong. Do you have any clever ideas?"
"Easy!"
Faceless Young Master said in a deep voice, "I know that you have a good relationship with Qingcheng Mountain and the Cheng family, and we will help Fifth Prince together."
"Since all parties have fallen into King of Shu's scheme, we will use our own strength to defeat King of Shu first, and then seize the treasure!"
Sha LiFei narrowed his eyes slightly, "Isn't this difficult to handle..."
"I have my own plans."
Faceless Young Master said calmly, "Shu King Residence has posted a notice. Chengdu Lantern Festival and Martial Arts Tournament on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will be held as scheduled. It must be the time of the Dragon Palace Water Mansion on that day."
"I invite you all to come here to discuss and unite all parties to launch action on that day to hold King of Shu down."
Sha LiFei suddenly realized, "Senior will go get the treasure then?"
"No, it's us!"
Faceless Young Master laughed, "I have been around for so long, so I naturally understand the rules of sharing half the money when we meet."
"When the time comes, no matter what treasures are in the Dragon Palace Water Mansion, our family will be divided into two, each taking what he needs."
"Don't worry, everyone, if you don't believe me, you can take 'Wish-Fulfilling Pearl' and explore the Dragon Palace together."
"Hahaha, senior is joking."
Sha LiFei also pretended to smile boldly, and then hesitated. "It's just... our leader Yan XiaoGe is still outside. If we want to contact those people, we will inevitably have to leave."
"Easy."
Faceless Young Master smiled slightly and clapped his hands.
Behind him, several people walked out immediately, including monks and Daoists, men and women, all dressed as business people.
"This is Gold Gate Iron Calculator Daoist Priest. He studied art in Emei and is good at observing the wind. Qi Observation. He is a Qimen hidden weapon..."
"This is Leather Gate Xue A Si, a witch doctor from the Miao border. Nine-Section Snake Bone Whip is powerful in all directions..."
"This is Iron Buddha Lu Zhenshan. He is good at using Iron Shirt and Vajra Pestle. He once broke the iron lock of Kuimen with his bare hands..."
"This is Cui San Dao, who has a sworn feud with the Salt Gang..."
"As for this fellow Daoist Meishantang, you should know..."
Faceless Young Master introduced them one by one and said with a sneer, "I have some connections on the Shuzhong Road. It would be a good idea to invite fellow Daoists this time to draw chestnuts from the fire."
"King of Shu is powerful, but I still have the final say in the underground of Chengdu Prefecture. Traveling to various places is extremely easy. If you want to go out, you must take our people with you."
Seeing Sha LiFei's expression change slightly, Faceless Young Master shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that so many fellow Daoists trust me, I must be cautious in my actions."
Go ahead, raise your hands and say, "If you can't trust me, you can leave now!"
Suddenly a man came forward and opened the warehouse door.
Lu San glanced coldly and was about to leave.
However, Sha LiFei quickly stepped forward, stopped Lu San, turned around and said with a smile, "Senior, no matter what you said, we naturally believe you."
"Okay!"
Faceless Young Master put his hands on his hands and smiled, and looked around, "Shu King Residence has Blood-Scent Tracking's Mountain Guard Dog. This warehouse is not safe. Let's move to another place to put some wine for you all."
After that, he stretched out his hand and waved.
Several men immediately came to the corner of the warehouse and removed some haystacks and broken cargo boxes, revealing a secret door.
"Hahaha, senior is indeed the Chengdu gangster Chief!"
Sha LiFei complimented, then turned his head, moved his mouth slightly, said a few words of lip language, and then said, "Since senior is so kind, let's go."
Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San nodded silently without saying anything.
Sha LiFei's lip language is:
If you kill someone with a borrowed knife, you will die when you get out!
Faceless Young Master obviously knows their strength.
These people introduced may have some reputation in the Xuanmen world in central Sichuan, but it is far from enough to deal with them.
Showing your strength means telling them that you have the ability to cooperate and are not afraid of falling out with them.
If you want to deal with them, you don't have to use your hands at all.
The King of Shu people outside are searching everywhere. If they step forward, Faceless Young Master will tell the truth and Shu King Residence's masters will besiege you.
This Faceless Young Master is truly a cunning person.
We need to use their help to contact all forces to deal with King of Shu, but we use King of Shu to threaten them, but there is nothing we can do.
Sha LiFei believes that Li Yan can definitely find it.
His mission is to prevent his companions from falling into crisis...
Faceless Young Master did not lie.
Everyone entered the secret passage of the warehouse and walked down for twenty or thirty meters. They were completely isolated from the ground. The surrounding tunnels also turned into masonry-like shapes and were covered with moss. They looked very old.
Seeing that Sha LiFei and others were surprised, Faceless Young Master smiled and explained, "Since the founding of Shu in ancient times, Chengdu has had many kings and dynasties change their banners, but we are always the ones living here."
"During the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Brocade was smuggled, and later, salt and iron were smuggled to avoid the disaster of destroying the city. Many tunnels were dug in the past dynasties. This one was built by the Later Shu master Meng Chang in that year, which leads directly from the north to the south."
As he said that, he turned around and pointed at his head.
"I am the only one who knows all the secret ways!"
Chengdu Prefecture There are soldiers patrolling everywhere on the city wall.
At the gate of the city, no one is allowed in but no one is allowed to go out.
Even several river terminals have been blocked.
Now that the New Year is approaching, there are several heavy snowfalls in succession, the weather is freezing cold, and the roads are closed. People who go to participate in Chengdu Lantern Festival arrive early again.
The right time and place are all within King of Shu's calculations.
Therefore, even if they knew something was wrong with Chengdu Prefecture, the dignitaries and common people who went out to worship Qingyang Palace had no choice but to enter the city tremblingly under the eyes of the soldiers.
In this kind of weather, they wouldn't be able to survive long if they left Chengdu.
In the dense forest in the distance, Li Yan looked gloomy.
All this was seen by him.
I had noticed something was wrong before at the Qingyang Palace, but I never expected that such a big mess would happen when I returned to Chengdu Prefecture.
I'm afraid King of Shu has already taken action...
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a little anxious.
He doesn't care what King of Shu wants to do. As long as he is sure that this person is Lu Sheng, he must be a criminal, so he can just summon the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division.
What he is most worried about is naturally Sha LiFei and others.
If King of Shu breaks out, Xiao Jinghong will definitely not be able to protect them.
We must go to the city immediately to investigate!
Cha!
Just when Li Yan was about to leave, the cry of eagles came from the sky.
He looked up and immediately stepped back.
The sky was filled with wind and snow, and several black spots were flying up and down.
That's the falcon used by Commandery Commandant Office for exploration!
Just jump over the wall and you will definitely be discovered.
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately performed the secret, and eight Chuling Paper Figure flew out from the leather bag around his waist, spinning rapidly around him.
With the blessing of Outer Altar Eight Generals, the Netherworld Malevolent Qi immediately gathered.
"Nogao! Innocence is too plain, the essence of Rengui..."
As the Profound Water Escape method was cast, Li Yan's figure quickly disappeared.
After doing all this, he jumped out, away from the city gate, found a relatively empty section of the city wall, and climbed up.
Chengdu Prefecture's city walls are made of huge bluestone bricks, and the gaps are mixed with rice flour slurry. They are smooth and solid and difficult for ordinary people to climb.
But for Li Yan, it is not a problem at all.
Using his hands and feet, he easily climbed to the top of the several-foot-high city wall, dodged the patrolling guards, and jumped down again.
The place to enter is in the south of the city.
Li Yan ran quickly along the city wall. In less than half a stick of incense, a large bamboo forest appeared in front of him. It was Bamboo Grove Abode behind the Prince mansion.
Prince The house is already filled with gloom and gloom.
Cao Yuanhuai stood guard at the door, looking at the several internal guards watching from a distance. Although their expressions were solemn, they were already very uneasy in their hearts.
King of Shu suddenly started, disrupting everyone's plans.
They, Dumen, have taken a clear stand this time to help Fifth Prince. If King of Shu settles the score in the future, they may have no choice but to escape from Shuzhong.
In the backyard of Prince's house, Xiao Jinghong looked pale, holding the tea cup in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Behind him, Princess Consort helped him warm tea, his face also full of sadness, "Prince, it's all my fault, if you had left Chengdu, you wouldn't be in danger now."
"This is my king's choice..."
Xiao Jinghong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If he is really the father, then I will accept his fate, but he is clearly a demon. Even if he dies, he must tell the world about this!"
Squeak~
Just as he was talking, the door suddenly opened and a figure rushed in.
"Mr. Li!"
Xiao Jinghong was startled, but after seeing the person clearly, he immediately became excited.
"Keep your voice down, what happened?"
Li Yan looked out the window and asked in a low voice.
"That person took action..."
Xiao Jinghong quickly recounted the situation.
Hearing that Sha LiFei and others had evacuated in advance, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "This matter... I'm afraid it has something to do with me. I killed a master King of Shu last night."
"Also, he didn't start suddenly. Several people from the defense base were hiding outside Chengdu Prefecture. It was obvious that he had planned it."
"Maybe we guessed his plan wrong..."
Li Yan Although he doesn't know the whole picture, he is vaguely aware of it.
"It's First Prince!"
Xiao Jinghong gritted his teeth and said, "My spies came with the news that First Prince's mother clan has an irreconcilable relationship with several military generals. After he was bewitched, he invited several generals that night."
"It was said to be a banquet, and some generals from the guard were invited..."
"They're all under a spell!"
Li Yan made a judgment immediately.
He found it strange that although King of Shu had a high reputation, it was such a stupid thing that several major law firms were involved.
You must know that there are Commandery Commandant Office people lurking there. It is impossible not to notice them in advance. It must be a sudden order.
He has seen Ghost Opera Troupe Bai Qi Hong's enchantment methods before.
"Mr. Li."
Fifth Prince Xiao Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Now we no longer care about waiting for Qingcheng Mountain reinforcements. As long as we break the spell and suppress it with the righteousness of the imperial court, we should be able to regain military power."
"We'll talk about this later..."
Li Yan nodded, then looked at Princess Consort, his face turned gloomy, "Fifth Prince might as well tell you first, what's going on with Princess Consort!"
No wonder I haven't seen Princess Consort these days.
After entering the house, I discovered that Royal Concubine was actually a living dead!
