Chapter 430 Chat [Two in One]

Facing Madam Yun Gong's ambiguous gaze, Cao Yi's answer remained calm.

"I'm just afraid you'll be disappointed," he said coldly.

"Haha." Madam Yun Gong turned around and said with a smile, "Master Wen Xiang, this young man you brought is very interesting. I want him to stay with me tonight."

"No problem, it's his honor." Wen Yanghao immediately agreed with a smile.

This result surprised Cao Yi himself. He originally thought that he came here to serve as a foil for Liang Yue. After all, Liang Yue was much better than him in appearance and adaptability.

But this woman just prefers to ignore her, which is really hard to understand.

After saying this, Madam Yun Gong did not look at him any more, but turned back to sit in the main seat. Her temperament suddenly became calm, and her eyes raised with a hint of awe-inspiring majesty, "Let the young men go out first."

Seeing her like this, several incense masters knew that she was going to talk about serious matters, and immediately asked everyone to leave.

Liang Yue and his group were driven to a side hall, which had its own tea and pastries, and no guards. As the atmosphere group, they would be allowed in after the serious business was finished.

"I'll go and listen for a while, you wait here." Liang Yue said in a low voice.

While everyone was not paying attention, he flashed and disappeared by the window. There was no trace of his presence and no one in the room noticed.

With his current cultivation level, he can still appear and disappear mysteriously even without the Immortal Vine.

After slipping away, he walked around the courtyard and returned to the eaves of the hall, where he opened his ears and eyes and began to eavesdrop.

"I called everyone here today because I have something important to remind you of. I recently received news that on the day when the fire broke out at Yungong Mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Yunlu City as an imperial envoy, and he is now in charge of the Criminal Justice Department."

"Originally, he came here for the Zhao Faxian case. Now that something happened at Yungong Mountain, it will undoubtedly attract his attention."

"So the Righteous Fire Cult should not be active outside Yunlu City in the near future. You should all behave yourself. The Crown Prince cannot stay in Qingdu permanently. Anything should be discussed after this period of time has passed."

"What? Prince?" Her words shocked several incense masters.

"Zhao Faxian is just a prison officer. Even if he was sent by the imperial court, he shouldn't be like this, right?" Some people found it hard to believe.

"This matter is very complicated. Zhao Fa was first a student of Liang Fuguo, but after he disappeared, it was found that he had connections with Bashan." Madam Yun Gong obviously received accurate information from the court. "The new prison officer Liang Yue is Liang Fuguo's illegitimate son and a great contributor to this battle to capture the city."

When she said this, everyone present nodded, "I heard that too."

"It's indeed him."

"Yes, he is the son of Liang Fuguo. It is absolutely true."

"..."

"He had just won a great victory in the battle to seize the city and heard that Liang Fuguo was imprisoned, so he came to Yunlu City to investigate the case. It was said that the scene was very chaotic at the time, and it seemed that he even beat up the Sixth Prince because of this incident..."

"Why does this sound so outrageous?" Everyone frowned.

"Beating the prince in public?"

"Even if we win the battle to capture the city, we are still too arrogant."

“It doesn’t seem real.”

"..."

Madam Yungong said, "This is the news I received. It sounds very plausible, but it may be exaggerated."

Liang Yue was speechless for a while under the eaves.

You guys really don't believe it and only believe in lies.

When I get old, I will sell you health pills.

"In short, in the end, the crown prince led the team south, and Liang Yue assisted him." Madam Yun Gong said in a deep voice: "Someone must have received the news earlier than us and took this opportunity to cause the forest fire."

"Hiss." The Yihuo Sect's incense masters were not stupid and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. "This fire is so vicious!"

Originally, with the help of the high-ranking officials in Yunlu City to cover up, the actions of the Righteous Fire Cult would not be easily reported to the central government. Even if they knew, the extent would be reduced and would not attract much attention.

However, as soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, he saw such a vicious case. More than 200 bodies were dug out from the mountain, and there was no way to cover it up.

"The Yun Palace Villa is my property. I was the one who introduced people there in the past few years. If they wanted to investigate those bodies, they would find me first." Madam Yun Gong's eyes became a little sharp. "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to kill so many people there."

Listening to her complaints, several incense masters also explained: "Most of them were killed by those people you brought with you. You said you could have fun as much as you wanted, so they didn't take it lightly. We naturally don't want that. Some of them no longer believed in the Holy Fire and wanted to escape from Yungong Mountain, so we had to kill them."

really.

Listening to their conversation, Liang Yue's previous guess was confirmed.

The bodies found in Yungong Mountain were the result of collusion between the Yihuo Sect and the wealthy and powerful people in Yunlu City. They were probably all children from poor families who believed in the Yihuo Sect. They were chosen by the Yihuo Sect to be castrated men and women and sent there to serve as tools for the wealthy and powerful to entertain themselves.

The Wei family had a conflict of interest with the Yihuo Sect, and it was at this moment that the fire was ignited.

……

At this time, someone worriedly said: "It's useless to say this now, do you want to leave first?"

"I'm fine. I've collected the list of people at Yungong Mountain. It clearly records what everyone did there." Madam Yungong said, "These people must protect me. Otherwise, if anything happens to me, half of Yunlu City will be buried with me."

Everyone was relieved at this. Someone chuckled and said, "If those people work together, even if the prince comes, he shouldn't be able to find anything, right?"

They all knew that the Yihuo Sect was in a period of development and was not yet fully grown. If the imperial court struck hard, no one would end up well.

"The Crown Prince is just in a high position, but he is not a concern. What I am really worried about is the prison officer." Madam Yungong said, "He has solved many major cases in Longyuan City. He is young, but he is known for his resourcefulness. When he comes, we must be careful."

"Haha, he's just a young boy who hasn't even reached the age of twenty. What's there to be afraid of?" Wen Yanghao sneered. "Especially a young genius like this. He must have spent a lot of time on cultivation. How much knowledge can he have? I guess Liang Fuguo is just trying to build momentum for his son."

His words aroused the approval of several incense masters, who all nodded in agreement.

They are all practitioners, and they know that in order to become a world-famous genius, in addition to superb talent, one must also put in great effort, and all their attention must be focused on cultivation.

How could someone who just focuses on solving cases and practices casually become the best in the world?
"Yeah, if there really is such a person, we might as well all die." Another incense master laughed.

"I advise you to be vigilant. I have studied his resume. He is definitely a rare genius. He can do anything. Maybe he can hear what you say now." Madam Yun Gong said with a serious face, "In short, you go back and tell Banner Master Yuan that the Righteous Fire Sect must stay away from Yunlu City for the time being."

The faces of several incense masters present were somewhat unwilling. They all started from the grassroots, and they saw that if their sphere of influence covered Yunlu City, they would have the capital to enter the upper class. Recently, they were only active outside the city, and their influence had expanded a lot. Naturally, they were reluctant to spit out the meat in their mouths.

However, Madam Yungong's solemn expression made them dare not take it lightly. After a while, they had no choice but to say, "Then we will stay dormant for the time being. Madam, please keep the list of Yungong Mountain safe. That is our greatest reliance."

"Don't worry, the list is kept very strictly with me." Madam Yun Gong said confidently.

Before he could finish his words, a huge fire suddenly broke out outside. The flames suddenly rose up and surrounded half of the yard. Shouts for help soon rang out.

There was no shortage of strong men in the mansion, and soon someone took action and put out the fire.

But Madam Yun Gong frowned and stood up and said, "Could it be that a thief sneaked in? I'll go check it out."

Anyway, the key things had been discussed, and the incense masters dispersed to have fun on their own, while Madam Yun Gong brought two servants from the mansion to a side room next to the bedroom.

She walked in alone. It seemed to be just a side room where servants rested at night. The interior was simple and tidy, nothing special.

But she took out a jade talisman from her waist and drew it on the wall, and a portal with fluorescent green light appeared. Madam Yun Gong stepped in, her figure disappeared into it, and the portal closed.

After a moment, the light reappeared and the portal reappeared. She walked out of it, looking much more at ease.

But she didn't notice that Liang Yue's figure was suddenly leaving in the shadow outside the window.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Madam Yungong's cultivation level is only that of a first-level warrior. She is obviously a child from a wealthy family who has no talent for cultivation. She is fed with elixirs just to strengthen her body.

So she should not be able to activate the magic weapon, which means that the jade talisman itself is just a key that can open the formation on the wall.

The characteristic of this key is that anyone can use it.

He had just come up with an idea while eavesdropping on people's conversation.

Because even if the list of names was in Madam Yungong's hands, she wouldn't necessarily be able to be interrogated if she was arrested. Even if the Horse Drinking Supervisor intervened, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't commit suicide. As long as she held out for a while, the powerful people in Yunlu City might do something desperate.

It would be best if we could steal the list without her knowing. If stealing it secretly doesn't work, we can ask the Horse Drinking Supervisor to arrest her and interrogate her.

So the question is where is the roster hidden?
Based on Liang Yue's observations during this brief period of time, Madam Yun Gong's mother should have many sisters - she is very suspicious, and he could take advantage of this to alert the enemy.

Sure enough, she went to the place where she hid the things and checked again.

Liang Yue returned to the waiting hall, came back to Cao Yi's side, and whispered: "I will find a way to get her jade talisman later. I will secretly take a look to see if I can get the list. Please help me hold her back."

Cao Yi frowned: "Me?"

Before he finished speaking, a maid from the mansion came to call him, "Senior brother, the lady wants to see you."

……

Even someone as cold-blooded as Cao Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment. After all, this was a complete blind spot in his knowledge.

A track I have never touched in my life.

Two maids led the way and brought him to Madam Yungong's bedroom. They pushed the door open and then closed it, and the maids stopped there.

Cao Yi walked slowly into the room. There was a spacious hall with an eight-panel screen in the front. Through it, a figure lying on the bed at the back could be seen. It was like a landscape on the screen, with continuous mountains and undulating waves.

"What are you standing there for?" Madam Yun Gong stood up from the couch, walked to the back of the screen, and asked with a smile, "Why do you look so dazed?"

Cao Yi made up his mind and walked straight forward to Madam Yungong and said, "I will do whatever you want, Madam."

"Since you have come here, you must listen to my orders." Madam Yun Gong turned around and led Cao Yi to the bed.

The moment she turned around, Cao Yi locked onto the jade talisman on her waist, quickly tore it off, and placed it silently on the table beside her.

He couldn't detect where Liang Yue was, but he knew that Liang Yue must be there.

Sure enough, the next moment, Liang Yue, who had already sneaked into the room, appeared behind the two of them without anyone noticing, and lightly fell down and took away the jade talisman.

He held the jade talisman in his hand, looked at Cao Yi's back, and gave him an encouraging look that said "Come on, brother".

Then he disappeared out of thin air and turned into a shadow.

Madam Yungong has always been accompanied by a master of worship, so it is difficult to attack her from outside. Even though Liang Yue is no longer the same person he was before, he can only follow her secretly without being discovered, but it is difficult for him to take away her things directly.

But no matter how open-minded she is, she can't possibly arrange anyone in her bedroom. Even if she has some unpopular quirk of liking to be watched, she still has to consider the feelings of the person offering the worship.

No one can stand seeing it every day.

Therefore, Liang Yue had already locked onto the bedroom, which was the most suitable place to steal the jade talisman.

The facts turned out to be just as expected.

After getting the key, he directly turned on the virtual transformation and came to the side room. He used the jade talisman to draw an opening for the formation on the wall.

call out--

The fluorescent green light lit up again, and Liang Yue disappeared into it. If there were someone in this room, they would only see the wall inexplicably light up and then fade away, but not the ethereal Liang Yue.

Although he got the jade talisman, Cao Yi couldn't leave yet. Before Liang Yue got the list, he had to attract the attention of Madam Yun Gong. Otherwise, if she suddenly found that the jade talisman was missing, the two of them would be blocked in this mansion.

Theoretically, this task is not difficult to accomplish.

Because what Madam Yungong wanted to do was something that took up a lot of attention.

Liang Yue's movements were quick and didn't take too long. Apart from the ones performed by the Qi brothers, it shouldn't be difficult for anyone to do it.

But for Cao Yi, there is a little difficulty.

Some levels are like this. If you don’t have key mission props, you will have to spend a lot of effort to pass them.

Madam Yun Gong pulled him back to the bed, pushed him down on it, and said with a smile, "I want to see if you are playing hard to get or if you are really calm."

"Wait." Cao Yi suddenly raised his hand to stop her from doing anything next.

"What's wrong?" Madam Yungong stared at his face.

Then Cao Yi said, "Why don't we chat first? Don't be so... anxious."

Madam Yun Gong tilted her head slightly and asked suspiciously, "Have you taken medicine?"
