Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 642 Inside the City Lord’s Mansion
"If we continue to delay, we might be discovered. On the contrary, the town of Sanling, after nearly two days of searching, might have become a place they overlooked."
"The reason I didn't act immediately in the past two days was to wait for this opportunity."
"Now is the perfect opportunity to go into that city and find Elder Wu!"
"As long as we can meet Elder Wu, explain the situation to him, and gain his support, we will surely be able to turn the tide and win!"
Yu Changsheng's explanation made the two of them realize something.
"The darkest place is under the lamp? But this matter is fraught with danger."
Yu Changsheng said, "First of all, I'm not a member of the Xie family, so they might not be targeting me."
"And at least with a little disguise, they might not recognize me."
Yu Jie and Ding Xuan were both still somewhat worried, after all, this was equivalent to going directly to someone's lair, how could it not be dangerous?
Little did they know, Yu Changsheng was most fond of the darkness under the lamp.
"Alright, for now, we'll have to rely on you guys here. But generally speaking, the seclusion here makes it difficult to be discovered. If we are discovered by chance, we'll just have to escape as quickly as possible."
Yu Jie and Ding Xuan both nodded in agreement, their admiration for Yu Changsheng growing even stronger.
After all, in their view, Yu Changsheng had no connection with them.
It is quite remarkable that they are willing to step forward and help them in such a critical moment.
True friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and this is especially true since the two sides didn't have much of a relationship to begin with, which makes it all the more precious.
What the two didn't know was that Yu Changsheng was being hunted down by the Wang family.
The identity Zhou Wangzhi used to conceal was also being watched closely by Manager Wang, so his situation wasn't much better than theirs.
The two were already deeply moved by Yu Changsheng, and they both looked at him with solemn expressions.
"Take care on your journey, Brother Zhou, you must come back!"
"If you can come back, my brother and I are willing to acknowledge you as our elder brother, and from now on, we will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
Yu Changsheng quickly raised his hand and said:
"Brothers, there's no need for that. I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not going away for good. We can talk about it when I get back."
"This..." The two were still thinking about what to say, but seeing that Yu Changsheng had already said this, they stopped talking.
Watching Yu Changsheng's departing figure, I felt even more emotional.
This is what it means to go through fire and water, what it means to be a hero among men. This is a role model.
This time, Yu Changsheng did not invite Lin Hao.
After all, Lin Hao had made a move at Feng Piao Pavilion before, so he must have been recognized by the people there. Going there might actually cause more trouble.
Prior to this, Yu Changsheng had also discussed it with Lin Hao.
However, Lin Hao remained resolute and refused to use his disguise again, leaving Yu Changsheng with no choice but to find another solution.
Although he can only use Zhou Wangzhi's face to enter the Three Spirits Town now, it's not like he's completely without a way.
So he took this opportunity to rush back to Sanling Town.
After Yu Changsheng left, the others also learned where he had gone.
No one expected Yu Changsheng to take such a big risk to go to Elder Wu, and everyone admired Yu Changsheng greatly.
Lin Hao, standing silently to the side, had a complicated expression.
Sanling Town.
At the city gate, merchants and travelers continued to pass by in a steady stream.
Although a major incident occurred outside Sanling Town a couple of days ago, the city lord has already provided an explanation.
It turns out that the Xie family members were ruthless and massacred the people who participated in the auction, and they also wanted to take over Sanling Town for themselves.
However, the Xie family has now been suppressed by the combined forces of the City Lord's Mansion and two other families.
Peace has been restored to the entire town of Sanling.
Everyone hated the Xie family to the core and cursed them vehemently.
At the same time, they also expressed their admiration for the two major families and the city lord's mansion, noting their swift and decisive actions.
This incident did not have a significant impact on the residents of Sanling Town. People continued to do their businesses as usual, and it simply provided them with some topics of conversation during their leisure time.
At the city gate.
Yu Changsheng glanced at the gatekeeper, who was still conducting a routine check, but without searching too thoroughly.
When it was Yu Changsheng's turn, the guard looked at Yu Changsheng's face for a while before letting him in.
After Yu Changsheng walked away, the security guard asked his colleague to keep an eye on him.
He immediately went to the pavilion near the city gate.
"My lord, the person you warned me to watch out for has appeared again."
The leader who was sitting at the table drinking tea immediately perked up.
"That person?"
"It's Zhou Wangzhi. I've seen his portrait, there's no mistake, it's him."
The leader immediately became excited, after all, the bounty on this person was not low.
"Did he really come to the city?"
"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes, it's definitely this person, there's no mistake!"
The leader slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup to tremble slightly, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
"good!"
"I never expected this person would dare to come back. It really was all so easy!"
"Gather some men immediately; I want to capture this man myself!"
"yes!"
At that moment, Yu Changsheng arrived at a street corner and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, immediately removed his mask.
He revealed his true appearance and immediately took off his outer robe, revealing another outfit he had put on beforehand underneath.
Although he has now revealed his true form, it is estimated that very few people in the entire Sanling Town will recognize him.
Making a temporary appearance shouldn't be a big problem; the safest solution would definitely be to change to a different face.
But Lin Hao remained unwilling, and there was nothing he could do.
Only a master like Lin Hao possesses such precise disguise techniques.
Yu Changsheng's disguise skills were extremely poor, and he could go undetected by ordinary cultivators.
However, when facing experts, especially Nascent Soul cultivators, they can be recognized almost instantly.
After quickly changing his clothes, Yu Changsheng calmly left the street corner and strolled out as if nothing had happened, wandering around the street.
Those who had been secretly following Yu Changsheng were surprised to find that he had suddenly disappeared.
Helpless, they could only report the news to their superiors immediately. Fortunately, it was easy to enter the city but difficult to leave, so it wouldn't completely disappear.
After arriving at a teahouse, Yu Changsheng casually ordered some food and a room.
After a hearty meal, Yu Changsheng returned to his room and immediately took out the jade slip he used to contact Lu Erhu.
"I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly, it's really not easy."
After writing down the message, Yu Changsheng sent the message to Lu Erhu via the jade slip.
He was in the inn, and had changed back into Zhou Wangzhi's face.
After waiting for about an hour.
Lu Erhu arrived at the inn and found Yu Changsheng's room.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you back again?"
Yu Changsheng asked in bewilderment, "Why can't I come back? Is Sanling Town a place I can't go to?"
Lu Erhu said anxiously, "Hey, how come you didn't know?"
"There's already a warrant for your arrest in Sanling Town. Didn't you see it when you entered the town?"
"By the way, how did you get into the city? Did the gatekeeper let you in on purpose? This is troublesome; once you're inside, it won't be easy to get out."
"Is that so? Why are they issuing a warrant for my arrest?"
Yu Changsheng did notice this. After entering the city, knowing that he would be followed, he immediately left the city gate without lingering.
Lu Erhu explained, "The wanted list says that you colluded with the Xie family and attacked the people of Fengpiao Pavilion in an attempt to seize the auction items."
Yu Changsheng also laughed, "Wang Haitang and the people from the two major families are really shameless, but they're quite adept at splashing dirty water."
"I never expected them to pull this 'theft while catching the thief' trick. They really have a thick skin."
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Lu Erhu said anxiously, "It's no use saying anything now. After all, people can say whatever they want, and even if you're right, you can't explain yourself. It's best to leave this place as soon as possible."
"But you've most likely been targeted, and leaving easily won't be easy. What should we do?"
Lu Erhu racked his brains but couldn't find a solution, so he just stood there anxiously.
Yu Changsheng couldn't help but feel gratified as he looked at the way he had gathered the troops.
In the end, I didn't take care of this person for nothing; he proved to be reliable in a crucial moment.
At least they didn't betray themselves, nor did they shy away from danger; instead, they chose to lend a helping hand at this time.
Although Lu Erhu didn't have much to help Yu Changsheng, his good intentions were enough for Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng patted him to calm him down and tell him not to worry too much.
"Alright, I have ways to avoid me, so there's no need to rush."
"However, I do want you to do something for me. This matter is somewhat risky, but I will give you enough benefits after it is done."
Lu Erhu asked, "What is it?"
Yu Changsheng took out an envelope and then a jade pendant, saying:
"Deliver these two items to the City Lord's Mansion for me. Tell them that you have found out about Yu Changsheng outside."
"But remember, you can't hand it over directly to the people in the city lord's mansion. You have to see Wang Haitang in person and then hand it over to him."
"If anyone tries to stop you, just make a scene outside the city lord's mansion, and make sure everyone around knows about it."
"If you do meet Wang Haitang, give him this letter, but ask to see Elder Wu first, saying that you have something to personally deliver to Elder Wu."
"Okay, then all you need to do is..."
Yu Changsheng explained the situation to Lu Erhu in general terms, so that he would know how to deal with it.
Lu Erhu took the two items, which seemed to pose no great danger; at most, he would just get a beating.
Lu Erhu nodded and said:
"Mr. Zhou has been kind to me, so of course I won't refuse."
Yu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction: "Good, as long as you accomplish this, it will be a great achievement!"
Yu Changsheng told Lu Erhu to leave first, while he took off his disguise mask and went to the inn to find a seat.
Soon, Lu Erhu arrived outside the city lord's mansion with great trepidation.
The guard at the gate noticed Lu Erhu approaching and immediately shouted, "Who goes there? Stop! Outsiders are not allowed in the City Lord's Mansion. Get out of here!"
Lu Erhu's dealings:
"I need to see the City Lord! I have information that the City Lord urgently needs!"
The guard looked at it and said:
"Tell me any information you have, and I will pass it on to the city lord."
Lu Erhu sneered, "What a joke! This information is extremely important! How could I just give it to you like that? I want to deliver it to the City Lord myself!"
The guard was also annoyed by this, but he was afraid that he would suffer the consequences if he delayed things, so he immediately turned around and went back to report.
In the city lord's palace.
Just as Wang Haitang was about to go to rest, he heard a hurried voice outside saying that there was something important to report.
"What is it? Come in."
After the guard came in, he immediately reported what had happened at the door.
"Is there something important to report?"
"If that's the case, then let him in."
Lu Erhu was quickly brought in by the guards.
Wang Haitang looked down at him and asked, "You said you have something important to report? What is it? Speak."
Lu Erhu said, "I heard that the city lord has been searching for news of Yu Changsheng. I have met him."
"Yu Changsheng?"
Wang Haitang was slightly taken aback, but quickly remembered.
His father, Wang Donghai, had indeed told him to keep an eye on this person before.
However, he didn't take it seriously, since that person had practically no connection to him.
Unexpectedly, we were able to get the information here this time.
"What news do you have about him? Speak, and if it's true, this city lord will reward you handsomely."
Lu Erhu immediately took out the letter.
After handing it over to Wang Haitang, he said again:
"Today, I was about to have something to eat at an inn when I suddenly saw someone who looked familiar."
"Upon closer reflection, wasn't it someone named Yu Changsheng from before?"
"I had heard before that this person had taken action against the pirates, so I knew a little about him. But when I heard that the city lord's mansion was going to capture him, I was even more impressed with him."
"I never expected to run into him at an inn. So I took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him, and after we got to know each other, Yu Changsheng asked me to deliver this letter to someone outside the city."
"After thinking about it, I think it would be better to report this matter to the city lord first."
"Oh?"
When Wang Haitang took the letter, his gaze toward Lu Erhu immediately became much more satisfied.
"Not bad, you're quick-witted; you know what the right choice is at this moment."
"Where did you work before?"
Lu Erhu said, "I have been helping Manager Wang with his work and helping him attract customers."
"I see."
Upon hearing Lu Erhu's words, Wang Haitang immediately understood a lot.
He knew very well who Manager Wang was, and at least no longer doubted Lu Erhu's identity.
Wang Haitang immediately opened the letter and frowned again.
Unexpectedly, the contents of the letter were quite simple: Yu Changsheng planned to come to Sanling Town to take the opportunity to kill Wang Haitang and avenge himself.
Upon reading the contents of the letter, Wang Haitang was so angry that he laughed instead.
"What kind of bastard dares to kill me? He's asking for trouble."
Lu Erhu watched with a pounding heart. He didn't open the letter and had no idea what it contained. (End of Chapter)
