Chapter 1559 Slipped Away

Now, the same kind of beetles have also appeared in Yongquan Villa, which means——

"We have been targeted by him."

"I checked, these insects are all demon puppets, absolutely true." He stretched out his hand, and the bat demon puppet flew down and landed on the back of his hand, "This guy said that many beetles flew close to my cave more than an hour ago, and they were all caught and killed by it."

"How many exactly?"

Dong Rui glared at him: "Do you think my bats can count?"

"Okay, I was wrong."

"It ate a lot of them in a row, and when it was full, it left these two to play with." As a result, the monkey saw it and wanted to play with it, no, to eat it too.

He Lingchuan's face was as gloomy as water: "Either this demon puppet master released them to investigate the terrain of Yongquan Villa, or these beetles are here to find you."

"Why are you looking for me?" Dong Rui was not happy to meet his colleagues in a foreign country, "Did I provoke him?"

"Don't you know it yourself?" He Lingchuan glanced at him, "Tiger with a tail, Porcupine, and Xiao An?"

This guy is lying with his eyes open, and he said it with confidence.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Dong Rui waved his hands repeatedly, "His demon puppets were taken away by the Black Armor Army, what does it have to do with me?"

"The appearance of his insect puppets here means that he has become suspicious of us." He Lingchuan pondered, "Where did we reveal our flaws? Or, did something unexpected happen when you placed Xiao An?"

This problem is extremely serious!

The demon puppet master sent these little insects and kept rushing to Dong Rui's laboratory, which means that he suspected "Wei Yishan".

Dong Rui shook his head and said, "There is a more reasonable explanation."

"Hmm?"

"It's the same reason why he killed Situ Yu in the first place - maybe someone asked him to kill you." Dong Rui spread his hands, "He doesn't have any personal grudges with Situ Yu, right?"

Hmm, that makes sense.

He Lingchuan asked him, "Who would hire him to kill you?"

"Need I say?" Dong Rui slapped the table, "Read that name out loud!"

He Lingchuan didn't have time to play with him, just said, "When did these beetles sneak in?"

Dong Rui said, "At the latest, it was more than an hour ago."

"How do you know they didn't enter the villa a long time ago?"

"This kind of insect puppet is not easy to make, and it's not very obedient. If the controller is not around, they will fly away quickly." What IQ do insects have? No one cares, they fly around, "and our villa is too large, most of which exceeds the control range of these demon puppet masters."

This is the practical difficulty that Dong Rui, who is also a demon puppet master, will notice.

He Lingchuan bought such a large manor to create difficulties for his enemies in reconnaissance and action.

Dong Rui paused and said: "My bats are the nemesis of this kind of insect puppets. There are very few creatures that will keep getting close to their natural enemies."

Therefore, these beetles are also driven and have no choice.

"So, if they want to use insect puppets to scout the villa, they must come in person?" He Lingchuan's eyes fixed, "An hour and a half ago?"

Didn't there happen to be a new guest in the villa an hour and a half ago?

It was a strange guest who brought black crystals but didn't want to sell them.

Dong Rui said bitterly: "No wonder the man surnamed Tian behaved strangely and his purpose was unclear. It turned out that selling black crystals was fake, and scouting the villa was real!"

At this point, He Lingchuan immediately ordered his men to send a message to Wanqi Liang, asking him to keep an eye on Tian Yun.

At the same time, he also mobilized all the manpower in the villa to search for red-line beetles in the mountain forests, one by one.

There is strength in numbers.

Dong Rui even ordered his servants to take out a sack of hazelnuts and perform the magic of "casting beans into soldiers".

This skill was learned from Fu Liushan. Although it was not as skillful as Master Fu Tianshi, and the hazelnut soldiers he transformed were not spiritual, the most basic function was still there, which was to search for beetles with red lines on their abdomens in a large area.

Yongquan Villa was large, with many trees and grass. Even if He Lingchuan sent more than a thousand people to look for insects, the success rate would be touchingly low.

"By the way, where did this Tian stay?" Dong Rui reminded He Lingchuan, "Even if it's just for three or five breaths. Think carefully, don't miss any one!"

"Xingtai, Tianquan, and Yuhua Hall for dinner." He Lingchuan just finished saying this, and the soul-catching mirror in his arms quickly added, "Hey, on the way to Tianquan, Tian Yun ran out to relieve himself halfway, remember?"

"Yes, Tian Yun also went to Baihuagang to relieve himself."

"Go to each one." Dong Rui looked solemn, "His purpose must be more than just to see you and me."

He Lingchuan led him to Xingtai and pointed to the big pit that had not been filled yet, saying: "We were standing by the pit just now."

The ground was full of freshly turned up mud, and the forest was also ten feet away. Dong Rui shook his head repeatedly: "Not here!"

They walked around Xingtai and found nothing unusual.

Then they went to Baihuagang.

Tian Yun followed He Lingchuan to Tianquan to fetch water, and slipped to Songgang to relieve himself halfway.

No one would let others watch them when they relieve themselves, so he was free at that moment.

This was a small hill with dense forests. Although it was the beginning of winter, the withered and yellow weeds on the ground still made it impossible to step.

How many messy things could there be in a forest? It was hard for ordinary people to imagine.

He Lingchuan asked: "What should we look for?"

"Start screening from insects." Dong Rui had already made a plan, "This opponent is good at controlling insect puppets, so all insects, insect eggs, and any abnormal things on Baihuagang, whether on trees or underground, must be found!"

This task is indeed a bit difficult. Fortunately, Dong Rui once again used the magical power of throwing beans to make soldiers to release hazelnuts. These thumb-sized little things jumped all over Songgang, turning over stones, digging tree roots, and looking at grass everywhere.

Wanqi Feng wanted to bring a whole team in, but Dong Rui waved his hand: "Within ten, no more, don't step on the clues."

He made a gesture, and the ghost apes and bats entered Baihuagang and searched carefully.

"In this season, all the leaves of birch trees have fallen off. Insects will not lay eggs on bare branches, and neither will Tian Yun. Otherwise, it would be too obvious. Besides, the weather is very cold, and frost will form in the morning and evening. Tian Yun's tricks must be hidden somewhere." He Lingchuan analyzed, "So, only check below the tree trunks."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. This birch forest is full of needles and branches, so it's great that there is no need to check the branches!

"Everything is arranged here, let's go after Tian Yun." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Even if he is not the mastermind, he can't get away from it."

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a horse flew over.

Wanqi Liang is here.

Before the horse stopped, he turned over and got off the ground, and said in a deep voice: "My lord! Wanqi Liang is useless!"

He Lingchuan frowned: "Lost?"

"Yes." Wanqi Liang and several of his men couldn't even raise their heads.

"Tell me about it."

"Tian Yun took a carriage back to the south of Tianshui City, and I saw him walk into the upper room of Yixin Inn."

He Lingchuan interrupted him: "Is there anyone else in the room?"

"It's hard to say. As soon as he entered, he ordered a bath and closed the doors and windows." Wanqi Liang didn't have time to take a closer look. "We waited at the exit for two cups of tea. The more we waited, the more we felt something was wrong. We knocked on the door under the pretext of delivering food, but no one answered. Then I rushed in. The guest room was empty, without a single person, and apricot wine was placed in the corner!"

"He knew he would be followed, so he chose an inn to get rid of you." He Lingchuan said to Wanqi Liang, "The old ones are still the best."

He then asked: "So, the Zhui Yin Luopan couldn't catch him?"

He usually has a backup plan.

The small-denomination silver note traded to Tian Yun was stained with the juice of the Zhui Yin Bee Pupa; he could throw away other things, but he had to take the money with him, right?

So He Lingchuan also handed the chasing compass to Wanqi Liang, just in case.

As a result, the "just in case" really came, and it was not prevented.

Wanqi Liang took out the compass and presented it with both hands. He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at it, and the needle on the compass was still.

"Where is the money?"

"Yihe Money House." Wanqi Liang whispered, "Yixin Inn is next to Yihe Money House. I infer that after Tian slipped out of the inn, he deposited the silver bills in the money house and left. Maybe, maybe his accomplices have been waiting in the money house for a long time."

If so, Tian Yun handed the money to his accomplices to deal with, and he could leave leisurely.

The level of commercial development in Yaoguo is second to none in the Shining Gold Plain. The money houses here provide merchants with deposit and exchange services. People usually don't like to take huge sums of money when traveling far away, so they can deposit silver and money in chain money houses and withdraw them when they arrive.

For example, He Lingchuan deposited 100,000 taels of silver notes in Yihe Bank, got the receipt, and then went to Yihe Bank in Mangzhou to withdraw the money.

Of course, if the amount is too large, it may take a few days.

But depositing money is very fast.

This method can effectively avoid tracking spells, because Tian Yun will not be able to withdraw this silver note when withdrawing money in a different place.

He didn't know that He Lingchuan used the chasing bee pupa juice, but the tracking magic in this world is strange and varied, but the principle is the same, and it will definitely leave some marks on oneself and the objects one gets.

Then, Tian Yun only needs to erase the traces of contact with He Lingchuan, such as silver notes, apricot wine, clothes worn to Yongquan Villa, etc., and the possibility of being tracked will be greatly reduced.

Dong Rui murmured: "Good guy, so cautious!"

Wanqi Liang gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger: "I will never make this mistake again, otherwise I will do it!"

After that, he was about to cut off the little finger of his left hand!

But the next second, he felt his hand lighten, and the dagger disappeared.

He looked again, and the dagger was in He Lingchuan's hand, and it was slashing lightly.

"You are my guard, you should obey me. You dare to hurt yourself without my approval?"

Wanqi Liang said loudly: "Liang is confused and has made no progress. I ask for punishment!"

"We have something important to do in a few days. Don't stop and cause trouble at this time!" He Lingchuan threw the dagger back to him. This guy is as stubborn as a cow, and only listens to He Lingchuan. Sometimes even Wanqi Feng can't persuade him, "Remember it and punish me later."

"Yes."
