Chapter 880 As Usual
Chen Ze's mouth corners slightly raised, and he chuckled, and said in a voice transmission: "Don't worry, Ling'er, when did I say that I don't care about Old Zhang?"
"What do you mean, Master?" Zhao Ling'er asked in confusion.
"I have a new idea, maybe it can be solved once and for all." Chen Ze paused and continued, "Ling'er, is there anyone secretly monitoring Old Zhang now?"
"Master, there are always people secretly watching the old gentleman, but in recent days, the aura of those who monitor the old gentleman seems to be a little different."
"That's it, these people are most likely the spies arranged by the Great Emperor. Ling'er, you stay by Old Zhang's side for the time being.
Pay close attention to the actions of those who are monitoring, and report to me immediately if there is any movement."
"Yes, Master." Zhao Ling'er took the order, concealed the aura around her body, and quietly guarded by Old Zhang's side.
After Chen Ze cut off contact with Zhao Linger, he contacted Liu Jiang, the clone of Longqing City's Wanwu Grocery Store.
Liu Jiang was busy in the Wanwu Grocery Store, and the store was bustling with people coming and going.
Even if Longqing City lost Lin Bingchun, the God of War, and the whole city was immersed in the turbulence, it did not affect the business of Wanwu Grocery Store at all.
Feeling Chen Ze's voice transmission, he hurriedly stopped his actions, came to the backyard, and responded respectfully: "Master, what do you want?"
"Liu Jiang, how is the business in the store?"
"Master, everything in the store is the same as before, and the guests are coming in and out, and they are not affected too much."
"Well, you summon a clone immediately, I want to go over."
"Yes, Master."
Zhao Linger is under surveillance, and if someone suddenly appears, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of those eyes.
As for Liu Jiang, although there were many people in the Grocery Store, it had nothing to do with the city lord after all. It would be safer to summon an unfamiliar clone from here.
Soon, Liu Jiang summoned a clone in the backyard of the grocery store.
Chen Ze's mind moved, and his consciousness instantly merged with it.
"Master, you came here in person, is there something important?"
Chen Ze straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Well, you may have to change places to be the shopkeeper."
"Ah?" Liu Jiang was full of doubts, his eyes full of confusion and astonishment, "Master, I am doing well, right? I didn't make any mistakes, why do I have to change places suddenly?"
Chen Ze raised his hand and patted Liu Jiang's shoulder gently, with a smile on his face, "It's not you who want to change places, it's Longqing City that is going to change places."
Liu Jiang was slightly startled, and the doubts on his face became more and more intense. He scratched his head and asked hesitantly: "Master, Longqing City is going to change places? What...what does this mean?"
"Literally!" Chen Ze had a mysterious smile on his lips.
As he said, Chen Ze directly summoned all the hundreds of clones in the space of all things.
Hundreds of clones appeared in the backyard of the grocery store in a row, neatly arranged, with magnificent momentum, and for a moment, this ordinary backyard seemed crowded.
Chen Ze glanced at the clones and nodded slightly.
All the clones understood and immediately used the magic of invisibility to restrain their cultivation and aura.
Then, they quietly scattered and left the backyard of the Wanwu Grocery Store in Longqing City.
Liu Jiang widened his eyes, his face full of shock, his mouth slightly open, and he couldn't speak for a long time, thinking that the master's action this time was a bit big!
"Master, do you need me to participate?"
"No, you just need to guard the store." Chen Ze shook his head slightly and walked slowly out of the backyard of the Wanwu Grocery Store.
Chen Ze left the backyard of the Wanwu Grocery Store, and his figure was like a ghost, shuttling between the streets and alleys of Longqing City.
Wherever his figure passed, the breeze blew lightly, and the corners of his clothes rustled, but the pedestrians on the street didn't notice it at all.
As Chen Ze walked, he separated a wisp of consciousness to pay close attention to the scattered clones.
The clones followed the established route and quietly approached the City Lord's Mansion and Longqing City Yasong Building.
They hid their bodies, as if blending into the shadows of the night, cleverly avoiding the patrol range of the eyeliner, and gradually infiltrated the vicinity of the target.
In Yasong Building, Lin Xiaoqing was sitting behind the counter, tapping her fingers on the abacus, checking the accounts.
There was a bit of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was efficient and neat in her work, without the delicateness of an ordinary woman.
Suddenly, she seemed to have a sense of something, frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the store door, but saw only passers-by, nothing unusual.
However, the vigilance she had developed under the influence of Lin Bingchun for many years made her feel a little uneasy inexplicably.
At the same time, in the old Zhang handicraft workshop in the west of the city, old Zhang was sitting in a rocking chair, his fingers slowly stroking an unfinished guqin, his face calm.
Zhao Linger was hiding on the side, staring at the surroundings vigilantly, not letting go of any slight movement.
Those who were monitoring pretended to be passers-by, and from time to time they walked past the square, but their eyes kept glancing into the store.
At the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Ze's clones approached quietly in a scattered manner.
The leading clones were agile, and they used the layout of the mansion to hide their bodies, and moved towards the spies planted by the Emperor Da Gan near the City Lord's Mansion.
These clones acted in tacit coordination and their footsteps were silent. Even when they passed by the brightly lit courtyard, they did not cause any ripples, as if there were only a few faint breezes blowing by.
In Yasong Building, Lin Xiaoqing's uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. She put down her abacus, stood up and pretended to sort out the shelves, taking the opportunity to look at the customers in the store.
When her eyes swept to the door of the store, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a very faint black shadow flashing by, so fast that she almost thought she was dazzled.
Lin Xiaoqing's heart tightened, and she became alert instantly when she thought of the news that Lin Bingchun had not returned for a long time.
She winked at the shop assistant calmly, and the assistant understood and nodded slightly, pretending to continue to be busy, but actually secretly paying attention to the movements around.
Lin Xiaoqing moved lightly in the direction where the black shadow flashed, and just as she walked to the door, a faint pressure quietly attacked her.
Just as she was hesitating whether to ask aloud, a low but familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Miss Lin, don't panic, I was entrusted by General Lin to come and protect you secretly."
Lin Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard the words, and then a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.
She immediately suppressed her panic and doubts. Although she had more trust in the visitor, she dared not slack off because the matter was of great importance.
After all, Lin Bingchun had not returned home for a long time, and the current situation was so treacherous that she could be doomed if she was not careful.
The voice transmission soon sounded again, calm and confident: "Miss Lin, please calm down, as usual.
There are still many spies planted by the Great Emperor in the vicinity. After we have investigated them one by one and dealt with them, we will talk to Miss Lin in detail."
Lin Xiaoqing's heart was shaken. She took a deep breath, calmed down, turned back to the counter, and continued to fiddle with the abacus.
But her palms were already covered with fine beads of sweat, and her eyes were constantly sweeping outside the store, secretly paying attention to the movement.
At this moment, a faint spiritual power fluctuation appeared in the sky above Longqing City, which was subtle but could not escape the perception of those who were interested.
All the spies planted by the Great Emperor in Longqing City looked up at the sky together.
