"Do it tonight?"
Li Yan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Imperial Censor Wang did it very smartly.
With the threat of gunpowder and the addition of Bagua Gate and his masters from the capital, Shu King Residence was thrown into danger.
Li Yan also had a premonition that King of Shu was worried not only about this batch of gunpowder, but also that the big explosion would panic people in Chengdu and ruin the plan for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
If you choose to do it tonight, you must be fully prepared.
I'm afraid, the other party will send out experts to control the situation.
Thinking of this, Li Yan did not hesitate and said directly, "Senior, I want to enter Chengdu Prefecture Yamen, can you think of a way?"
Everything is said by this old man.
But the situation is urgent, so we can only take a gamble.
Feng Lao Hai did not hesitate, and clasped his fists to the surrounding people and said, "Young Hero Li, speak up, I will fight to the death, and I only want one thing. When the chaos subsides, please ask for a favor for me, White Creek Town, young and old."
"We can't help ourselves."
Old slippery man...
Li Yan secretly slandered and said, "Okay."
After a while, Feng Lao Hai wandered out again, looking around the street with his hands behind his back, looking like he had nothing to do.
As we walked, we reached the foot of the government office wall.
"Elder Feng, what do you want?"
A member of the guardhouse came over and asked with a cold face.
Feng Lao Hai has a high status in the Salt Gang, and everyone in the gang is respectful, but he is always on guard and looks down on these wild people.
Feng Lao Hai felt his shoulders sink, and he quickly took off the weight from his feet. His body remained motionless, and he took out his cigarette rod and asked pretending to be curious, "I'm just weird."
"Bagua Gate is not a small sect. Grandmaster Dong Changxing in the capital, who in the world cannot sell face? If they want to leave, Prince will not stop them. Why do they have to wait here to die?"
"Hmph!"
The hundred households in the guard sneered, "What a master, it's just a boast from people in the world. When the army comes, not even a blade of grass will grow. Even if he comes, you have to avoid it!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Feng Lao Hai smiled hoarsely, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and walked away, muttering, "Oh~ the world is so stable that they have forgotten the majesty of the grandmaster. Even the Northern Xinjiang Army did not dare to say that..."
"Bang!"
The guardsmen glanced disdainfully, then returned to the checkpoint, looked at the several musketeers, and sneered, "Brothers, cheer up and let them know that this world has changed!"
Don't mention these people's Xiao Jiujiu.
With the help of Feng Lao Hai, Li Yan quietly entered the Chengdu Prefecture Yamen, and looked around after landing.
Chengdu Prefecture He has been to Yamen before, so he is familiar with it.
Today's defense has obviously reached a new level.
Dangerous situations are arranged in each key area, and there are Yamen Runner guards, Bagua Gate disciples, and masters following Imperial Censor Wang patrolling everywhere.
Woo~
In the distance, there are several fierce dogs baring their fangs.
These beasts are all extraordinary. Although Li Yan cannot be seen, they feel vaguely threatened and lower their bodies towards this side.
"Who?!"
Two figures rise and fall, leaping forward like a dragonfly touching water, and at the same time draw out two swords from the waist, full of momentum.
"Brother Dong, it's me!"
Before he could take action, a deep voice sounded in the air.
The person who came was none other than Bagua Gate Dong Cunshan.
Dong Cunshan's eyes lit up, but just as he was about to speak, Li Yan's voice sounded in his ears again, "Brother Dong, find an uninhabited place."
Dong Cunshan understood it, pushed away the disciples who were running towards him, and walked ahead on his own, heading towards the side courtyard where Li Yan lived before.
He seemed expressionless, but actually he was secretly frightened.
Since arriving in Sichuan, I have been tired of hearing about Li Yan's reputation in the world, but I have only seen his fierce martial arts, and never imagined that his magic techniques can be so exquisite.
Hidden shadow in the daytime, could it be Lao Mountain Invisibility Technique...
As for whether Li Yan has evil intentions, he has no doubt.
Li Yan is already the person Shu King Residence is named to kill.
Arriving at a Wing Room, Dong Cunshan deliberately waited for a moment before turning around and hanging the door bolt.
Before he could say anything more, mist rose in the room, revealing the figure of Li Yan. He cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Brother Dong."
"Young Hero Li Don't be polite."
After some pleasantries, Li Yan stated his purpose, "I have something important to do. I want to see the Censor. Is it possible?"
"Okay, I'll inform you sir first."
"Remember to keep it secret, there may be a spy in the house."
"Okay!"
Li Yan didn't let Li Yan wait long, and Dong Cunshan hurriedly turned back, handed him a black cloak, covered his whole body, and came to the backyard.
This place is where the Gunpowder Depot room is stored.
It was originally in charge of people sent by the Ministry of Industry, but it has been taken over by Imperial Censor Wang, and three layers of defense have been deployed around it.
Everyone looked extremely nervous.
Dong Cunshan took the token and after he passed the inspection, he came to the small courtyard outside the warehouse.
But I saw Imperial Censor Wang sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, pouring himself a drink, surrounded by white snow on the ground and red plums hanging on the branches. Although he looked tired, he was still calm and composed.
"Young Hero Li is here, have a drink."
Seeing Li Yan come in, he poured the wine himself, smiled and shook his head and said, "I originally made tea to entertain, but it's not easy to light a fire here. It's good to drink some wine to keep out the cold."
"My lord is so elegant."
Li Yan Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and drank the wine in one gulp.
"You can't say Yaxing."
Imperial Censor Wang sighed and smiled bitterly, "I made a mistake in my calculations. I never thought that King of Shu would really turn against me. Fortunately, there are still many righteous men in the city. Young Hero Li came here in danger. What can you teach me?"
The old fox is quite good...
Li Yan nodded slightly, "Sir, there is no need to blame yourself. There is another hidden reason for this matter. Then King of Shu has probably been taken away by the monster long ago."
"Oh?"
Imperial Censor Wang frowned upon hearing this, "Are you sure?"
Li Yan roughly narrated the situation, then clasped his fists and said, "Don't be surprised, sir. It's a very important matter. I'm not sure. I didn't mean to hide it. After all, it's hard for ordinary people to believe it."
What he said is correct.
If King of Shu takes no action, even if he tells the story, few people will believe it. Instead, the news will leak out, allowing Lu Sheng to take precautions in advance.
Imperial Censor Wang didn't say much about the matter, and was silent for a moment, "No matter whether King of Shu took over the body for the demon, as of now, we can't sit still and wait for death. Young Hero Li, but there is a way?"
"There is a way."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I once sneaked into Shu King Residence and saw that First Prince was controlled by the demon Ghost Opera Troupe. Most of the generals at the guard station were also the same."
"As long as we find an opportunity, gather these people together, and unlock the Bewitching Soul Spell method, we can control the military power again."
As he said that, he looked around and frowned. "I originally wanted to use your help to lure those generals here, but depending on the situation, I had to think of another way."
Imperial Censor Wang looked gloomy and said thoughtfully, "There is still a chance. On the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a big sacrifice in the army. Even if these generals are deceived, they must go to sacrifice then to appease the morale of the army."
"We will discuss this later."
Li Yan looked around and said in a deep voice, "I have received the news. Shu King Residence will take action tonight. Without further ado, it is best to break out and leave now."
The wine glass in Imperial Censor Wang's hand trembled, and he shook his head and said, "Young Hero Li I'm afraid the information is inaccurate. I'm here to guard you. If King of Shu dares to move, the whole Gunpowder Depot will explode..."
"This thing can't protect you!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "King of Shu has several masters under his command. When the formation is set up, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to light it."
Imperial Censor Wang was a little unhappy and looked to the side.
I saw the door opposite slowly opened, and a Old Taoist walked out, wearing a dark blue Daoist robe, with a white beard hanging down his chest, and an extraordinary aura.
Li Yan was not surprised after seeing it.
When he entered the hospital, he already discovered that this person was probably the warlock next to Imperial Censor Wang, who was hiding in secret for protection.
Dong Cunshan next to him hurriedly introduced, "Young Hero Li, this is Cloud Daoist from White Cloud Temple in the capital. He is a man of profound knowledge. This time, just like me, I have been entrusted to come here."
Imperial Censor Wang looked at Old Taoist, "Cloud Daoist, what do you think?"
This Old Taoist did not directly confirm the vote, but looked at Li Yan, "This little friend, do you know if any monster is coming back?"
Li Yan replied, "King of Shu hired the master Ghost Opera Troupe, and there are several demons from the southwest evil path under his command, Nie Third Aunt, Blood Nuo Master Ba Dai Zha, Black Sect Lama Duo Ji Zha Xi."
"Oh?"
After hearing this, Old Taoist laughed dumbly and said, "These old guys are still alive. I think they were driven out by Sword Immortal Cheng back then and had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. Now they are here to cause trouble."
Imperial Censor Wang quickly said, "Is Daoist Master confident?"
Old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "With their ability, they still can't get in."
Li Yan frowned upon hearing this, "It's better to be careful."
"Young Hero Li Stop talking."
Imperial Censor Wang shook his head and said, "Now Chengdu Prefecture has been controlled by King of Shu's army. Even if we escape, where can we hide?"
"Besides, without these gunpowder, those Black Feather Army guns will fire indiscriminately, and we will not be able to escape death!"
What he said is indeed correct.
Li Yan frowned and said no more.
White Cloud Temple is also well-known as a grand watcher in the capital, and has connections with the royal family, so he might be able to block it.
Leaving hastily is even more dangerous.
But he always felt uneasy for no reason.
Imperial Censor Wang Seeing this, Fu Xu said, "I will make my own decision on this matter. There are only three days left before the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month. As long as we hold on until then, things will turn around."
"To be honest, I also have manpower stationed at the guard station. I can arrange for people to enter when the time comes. I just don't know if the spell can be solved?"
Li Yan thought of the White-Robed Great Being bracelet in Sha LiFei's hand, nodded and said, "As long as you buy time, it should be no problem."
"That's good!"
Imperial Censor Wang smiled and said, "King of Shu relies on the soldiers of the guard station as long as they regain their military power. They can immediately suppress the rebellion, invade Shu King Residence and kill the demon."
"Come here, prepare some food and wine."
"Young Hero Li, let's discuss it some more..."
This Imperial Censor Wang is also cunning. He said it was a negotiation, but he clearly wanted to drag Li Yan here to deal with the situation at night.
Li Yan knew it well and did not refuse.
For him, this is not an opportunity.
Shu King Residence is full of experts and has the cooperation of the army. In other places, he can only flee in frustration.
But here, Imperial Censor Wang has many talented people under his command, and the army's anti-rat weapons have just created favorable conditions.
If I can kill a few tonight, I can consider killing King of Shu's right-hand man...
On the other side, in Shu King Residence palace.
East Sixth Palace Inside a side hall.
Sandalwood curls up and candlelight dims.
Ghost Zhong Kui Situ Qian was sitting in front of the altar table, biting a wooden stick in his mouth, sweating from the veins on his forehead, and trembling all over.
In front of him, Mourning Dress Dan Bai Qi Hong was carrying a wooden prosthetic leg and using needlework and red rope to sew the prosthetic leg and the broken limb together.
There was blood dripping, but Bai Qi Hong's eyes were full of excitement, and he even licked his lips unnaturally.
On the other side, it is Granny Tang Yuan Nie Third Aunt.
Nie Third Aunt also sat cross-legged, with a copper basin beside him. The spices inside were burning continuously, emitting five-color thick smoke.
The old woman muttered something, and took out a copper box from her arms. After opening it, she found that it was full of twisted insects, which were long and dark, emitting a metallic luster, a bit like iron worms.
Densely packed and constantly surging.
As Nie Third Aunt recited the incantation, the thick smoke of the spices in the copper basin suddenly rose up and was absorbed by the bugs.
Seeing that the time had come, Nie Third Aunt immediately put the copper box next to the broken leg and poured it all out.
The dense black insects suddenly burrowed into the flesh and blood.
"Hmm~"
Even though Situ Qian has a strong mind, he couldn't help but groan.
Nie Third Aunt ignored it and continued to chant the curse. After Bai Qi Hong sewed up the prosthetic leg, not a single one of those bugs was left.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
After doing this, Nie Third Aunt slowly stood up.
Ghost Zhong Kui tried it and found that as the thigh muscles contracted, the prosthetic leg also lifted and fell.
Although I don't have the convenience of good legs, I can still move freely.
"Thank you, senior."
Situ Qian slightly raised his hand, "Senior Mechanism Arts is famous all over the world, he is indeed extraordinary."
He had already used a prosthetic leg, but when Nie Third Aunt came back, he said there was a better way and persuaded him to reinstall it.
"Hehe~"
Nie Third Aunt also seemed very satisfied. He stared at the prosthetic leg and grinned. "This Insect Gu Reconnection Technique is the first time I have used it since I learned it by myself. This insect can connect to flesh and blood, but it must be fed with a five-step snake every day, otherwise it will penetrate into the heart. Don't forget it."
"I heard that you, Ghost Opera Troupe, also have a master of traps. If you ask him to get a Bronze Mechanical Leg, you can hide the weapon and attack people unprepared."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."
Situ Qian could see that Old Hag was specifically asking about Ghost Opera Troupe, so he changed the subject and said, "Senior, didn't you go to intercept and kill the remnants of the Yang family? Why did you come back early?"
"Stop talking."
Nie Third Aunt's face turned gloomy, "Having just walked halfway, I heard the news of the death of Tian Qi and Old Ghost. Prince also urgently summoned us to return. Anyway, it has already begun, and the Yang family is no longer important."
"What's more important is that we met someone."
"Who?"
Situ Qian frowned and asked quickly.
Nie Third Aunt took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"Qingcheng, Cheng JianXin!"
"Sword Immortal Cheng?!"
Situ Qian As soon as I heard it, I felt a chill down my back.
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of?"
Nie Third Aunt looked out the window, his eyes full of schadenfreude, "Time is not kind to anyone, everyone is the same."
"You may not have imagined that Sword Immortal Cheng, the most prosperous god, has now become a sloppy blind Old Taoist. His fortune has fallen, and only Third Floor is left, with a slut bottle."
"I rushed back first. Blood Nuo Master is chasing them. It won't be long before good news comes back."
"It's a pity that I can't kill the enemy with my own hands."
After saying that, he turned to look at Situ Qian and said in a deep voice, "We will talk about these things later. My legs have been connected for you. Maybe we can do it tonight?"
"Of course!"
Situ Qian slowly stood up, limped, came to the left side of the hall, lifted up the worn oilcloth, and a Bronze Stage suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
There was Yin Wind blowing around, and faint sounds of crying could be heard on the stage.
Nie Third Aunt breathing becomes rapid:
"This is...Netherworld Stage?"
