Chapter 526: Attacking the Heart First

It was just blocked by the amulet prepared by Wu Kai.

"He really loves you deeply." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I don't know if he did it himself or found a few incompetent spellcasters?"

Wu Kai was indifferent to his sarcasm.

He Lingchuan said again, "But don't think you are safe. Cen Boqing has a powerful spellcaster Cheng Yu, who can kill you remotely."

Wu Kai suddenly said, "How do you know that Cheng Yu didn't do it?"

He Lingchuan thought that Cheng Yu's soul had hidden away, and nightmares could not find him, which showed that he was in an abnormal state, and it was strange that he could cast a spell.

But he looked like he was looking at a fool: "Nonsense! If Cheng Yu had taken action, would you still be alive? Just be thankful."

He shook a bundle in Wu Kai's ear, making a sound: "These are all the amulets, self-defense magic tools, and evil-repelling spells found on you... good and bad, a dazzling array. How many bad things must a person have done to need so many amulets and magic arrays to protect himself?"

He used a knife to pick open Wu Kai's collar, and there was a large tattoo on his heart.

This was discovered by the guards when they searched him earlier.

"You even tattooed a magic array to ward off evil spirits on your body." He Lingchuan smiled, "What are you afraid of?"

"But you are wearing rune shackles, so you can't use your true power, and you can't activate the array tattoo." He took two steps beside Wu Kai, "That means it's easy for Cen Boqing to kill you now."

"How long you can live depends on when he will perform another magic to take your life. You don't want to betray him, but his confidence in you has long been gone. After all, you abandoned your master and ran away, setting him up." He Lingchuan leaned close to his ear and said word by word, "He already knows."

When the last few words were spoken, Wu Kai's eyes jumped.

This expression was very subtle, but it didn't escape He Lingchuan's observation.

"If you had confessed earlier and pointed it out earlier, we could have saved your life."

Wu Kai was still as quiet as a statue.

He Lingchuan stood there for a while before slowly leaving the cellar.

"Are these words useful?" Fu Shanyue had already stood at the entrance of the cellar and listened to it. Previously, he had been earnestly admonishing him, but Wu Kai had turned a deaf ear to him.

What's the use? Empty words, Wu Kai didn't buy it at all.

"Just a reminder, this man is stronger than Cen Boqing, he won't cry until he sees the coffin."

In the cellar.

Wu Kai was also open-minded. He ate when the official brought him food, and drank when he brought him water.

Other than that, he didn't say a word.

Neither Fu Shanyue nor He Lingchuan showed up. When the official fed him, he said, "Another team under your command was arrested in Xiaohulu Town, Baiting County. Five people including Yang Song were captured, and the remaining two who resisted were shot dead."

Wu Kai paused slightly when chewing the rice.

Yang Song was arrested?

"This news will soon be transmitted to the Cen Mansion." The official continued to say to him according to He Lingchuan's instructions, "Based on your understanding of Cen Boqing, what would he think?"

Wu Kai had a blank expression on his face, looking at the opposite cellar wall.

...

Cen Boqing was sweating after listening to the guard's report.

He didn't escape from the Cen Mansion because he hoped that Wu Kai could escape successfully. Although this old servant abandoned his master in the face of battle, he at least solved the current troubles of the master and servant.

However, with Wu Kai's carefulness, he still couldn't escape from Fu Shanyue's palm.

This is too strange. The prince of Chiyan State that he knew before doesn't seem to be so smart.

Not only that, Fu Shanyue actually ordered Lu Dutong to cross the border to capture Yang Song, and dragged him to the county government with great fanfare, and was tried by Tian County Magistrate in the court!

Hearing that his old boss Wu Kai was arrested, Yang couldn't stand it and confessed quickly.

Where did he commit the crime, how did he commit the crime, how many monsters he killed, how many beads he took, how to hand them over to Wu Kai... The whole process was explained!

Right under the eyes of the people of the whole city.

It is said that the monsters in the city were so angry that they almost ran away. If the official hadn't sent more people to stop them, I'm afraid Yang Song would have been torn to pieces on the spot.

What's worse is that some monsters began to turn their anger towards the Cen Mansion.

If it wasn't the truth, how could Yang Song say it so carefully?

The guards in the mansion have intercepted several groups of monsters, all of whom wanted to sneak in to kill and set fire.

These things are very wild by nature. They don't want to abide by the law if there is a reason, no matter if he is a nobleman in Lingxu City and has not been convicted yet.

There are also monsters throwing dirty things into the Cen Mansion,

But how can Fu Shanyue catch Yang Song?

The only contact person of the six teams is Wu Kai. If he doesn't say it, who can find Yang Song?

Yang Song was arrested today, what about the future? Thinking of this, Cen Boqing was also terrified.

Did Wu Kai give up his master?

If he gave up everything, Fu Shanyue should rush into the Cen Mansion to arrest people triumphantly.

In other words, he is still safe for the time being?

Who betrayed Yang Song?

The most important thing is, how long can Wu Kai hold on?

Usually, Cen Boqing always discussed with Wu Bo. Now that Wu Kai was gone, most of his confidants stayed in Lingxu City and were not brought here.

He was very anxious.

He thought that this trip to Baisha was just a routine, but he didn't expect to be bitten by Fu Shanyue. He was really caught off guard.

…

Where the Fan brothers stayed.

Fan Sheng was always arrogant, but he lowered his head and looked down in front of the visitor, not daring to act rashly.

And the giant bear Fan Bao lay on the couch honestly, without saying a word, as obedient as a big dog.

The man sitting opposite him eating tea was of medium height and build, and looked to be in his thirties. A pair of horoscope eyes, widely spaced apart from each other, and a protruding mouth, which is typical of Baotian.

Fan Sheng lowered his head in front of him and carefully informed his two brothers of their itinerary in Baishali.

He has a strong vitality and the wounds on his back have scabbed over.

The expressions on both sides were like a parent and a child who had made a mistake.

The man listened very carefully and interrupted him occasionally.

"You came to Baishaqing just to repay Zhongsun Mou's favor?" When facing Fan Sheng, he had no expression on his face, "Your brother owes a favor to the Zhongsun family? Didn't he get involved in Zhongsun Mou's other affairs?"

"It's absolutely true, Baidu Shi Mingjian!" Fan Sheng nodded and pointed to the sky, "The general can swear an oath to the Holy Lord Lingxu!"

The person in front of him was clearly the special envoy sent by Lingxu City, Bai Ziqi.

"What exactly does Zhongsun Mou want you to do?"

"The curse master Cheng Yu was invited to protect him." Fan Sheng replied, "He said that the curse master could find out the whereabouts of Fu Songhua. But after midnight, Cheng Yu vomited blood and said that the spell was broken and the enemy was very dangerous. Maybe he came after me, and then he ran away."

"I stayed and had a fight with He Xiao, Prince Chiyan's special envoy."

"He Xiao broke Cheng Yu's spell? And he broke it cleanly and completely, otherwise Cheng Yu wouldn't have suffered backlash and vomited blood." Bai Duzhi turned the tea cup, "How was it broken?"

Fan Sheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Do you know who Cheng Yu is?"

Fan Sheng said honestly: "I have heard about it before, but I don't know clearly."

"His secret technique can even curse the king of Mang to death. This He Xiao can counterattack him after being plotted against him. He is of a very high rank." Bai Dushi muttered, "He is only seventeen years old. Well, he is too young."

"With such a person, do you still want to bet with him in the Lotus Palace?"

When talking about that battle, Fan Sheng felt embarrassed: "He and that tiger teamed up, but they couldn't beat me. I thought I would be able to defeat him after entering the He Palace."

"But no." Bai Duzhi knew that Fan Sheng was not really a person who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and didn't know the strengths and weaknesses of our enemies and ourselves. Otherwise, even with his brother's care, he wouldn't have been able to continue working in Tongxinwei for a long time. He said seriously, "You made a sneak attack, but you were defeated by him. I want you to think carefully about the battle in the He Palace. Was he more prepared than you?"

Fan Sheng had been thinking about that battle over and over again, and he nodded without the need to review it again: "Yes!"

"Now that I think about it, his tactics in the He Palace surpassed those in the inn encounter a few days ago." Fan Sheng hesitated and continued, "It may also be because I didn't kill him in the inn, and he didn't take out the bottom of the box. "

"But he probably predicted your attack." Bai Dushuang's gaze shifted, "Did he initiate the bet between him and Zhong Sunmou before?"

"Yes!" Fan Sheng said without thinking, "It was he who proposed it to Zhong Sunmou."

"Tell me the process in detail."

After listening to what Fan Sheng said, Bai Ziqi muttered: "They changed their bets once..."

Fan Sheng said in a low voice: "Bai Duzhi is suspicious. This person assassinated Zhongsun Mou?"

Bai Ziqi raised her head and asked him, "What about you?"

"I had my doubts, after all, he had a feud with Zhongsunmou, and Zhongsunmou was about to find Fu Songhua at that time. As a result, Zhongsunmou died, and Fu Songhua was left in Baishaqing in a dignified manner. But -"

"But when Zhongsun Mou was killed, he and you were both in He Palace, and you were the witness."

"Yes, that's it." Fan Sheng was a little depressed.

"Unless he can predict when Mai Xuewen will raid Zhongsun Mou." Bai Ziqi said slowly, "I saw in the case statement presented by Prince Yueshang that Mai Xuewen had sent gifts to both He Xiao and Zhong Sun Mou. A copy of the late emperor's notes "Records of Worshiping the Gods".

Fan Sheng's eyes lit up: "Could it be that they were in contact with Mai Xuewen at that time?"

"Judging from the available evidence, Mai Xuewen spent a lot of effort to guide He Xiao and Zhong Sunmou to deal with his superiors, even at the expense of exposing himself. It's just that He Xiao followed his clues, while Zhong Sunmou did not If you don't follow his tactics," Bai Ziqi analyzed, "then we don't rule out that Mai Xuewen will continue to pass on more clues to He Xiao and turn around to deal with Zhong Sunmou."

"Because, as long as Zhong Sunmou sends Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City, the final settlement of the case may not be what Mai Xuewen wants." He shook his head, "Mai Xuewen has been planning for so long, and he never wants to draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing. "

"Then the person named He and even Prince Chiyan may be involved?"

Bai Ziqi asked him: "Did you just say that Fu Shanyue arrived on the day Zhongsun Mou was killed?"

"That's right, they were only a few hours apart." Fan Sheng said solemnly, "Cen Boqing had just returned home from Chaohu Tower, and he packed his bags and wanted to leave, but Fu Shanyue and his men personally blocked the door."

"You came just in time." Bai Ziqi smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the prince is getting better and better."

Fan Sheng's eyes flashed: "Dou Shi Bai, whatever you tell me to do, I will do it!"
