Although the Young Master's words were indeed very reasonable, they were still somewhat worried in their hearts. After all, there were already two groups of people coming out. What if the city lord was among those two groups of people?
If they really let the city lord escape, then what was the point of them guarding the empty city lord mansion?
"Don't worry. The city lord must still be in the mansion. You will know in a while!" Cheng Yu said affirmatively.
"Young master, how can you be so sure? What if that Hong Tian City Master also knew that you would definitely think so? Therefore, those two groups of people were just a flaw that he intentionally revealed. Furthermore, he was mixed in with them. His motive was to make you careless? "Elder Fang looked at Cheng Yu and said.
"I naturally have my ways to know if the city lord is still in the mansion. Could it be that you have forgotten what happened on the Celestial Mirror Mountain?" Cheng Yu specially reminded.
In fact, it was very simple. As long as there was a grass or a tree in the mansion, it would be Cheng Yu's eyes. Therefore, what he said before was just an excuse.
The most important thing was that he had the ability of the Wood Space Mirror. As long as he had this ability, how could the tricks of the City Lord of Hong Tian possibly enter his eyes?
Therefore, there was no need to talk about how many tricks the Hongtian City Lord would use. No matter how many tricks he used, Cheng Yu would be able to accurately know when he would leave the mansion
When they heard what Cheng Yu said, everyone recalled the incident on the Celestial Mirror Mountain and immediately reacted.
"I almost forgot that Young Master has the ability of divination. If that's the case, the City Lord Hong Tian is really in the mansion!" Elder Feng said with a smile, as if he had suddenly realized something.
Originally, they were also like this. When the young master said that there were people coming up the mountain from the southeast, they didn't believe it at first. Only when they discovered that there were people coming up the mountain did they really believe it.
Later on, the young master made several predictions and the results were exactly the same as what he said. Therefore, everyone had already accepted this fact.
But now, they had almost forgotten about the young master's ability. After being reminded, they no longer dared to doubt the young master.
Because they had already verified the young master's ability and the result had never been wrong. They believed that this time, it would definitely not be wrong.
And the difference was that now that they knew the young master's ability, they were even more hopeful that the city lord would appear according to the young master's prediction.
Because Lord Hong Tian didn't know all this. In his heart, he was probably still proud of his perfect plan.
Therefore, when he found out that everything was actually within their expectations, that scene would definitely be very exciting.
"Young Master, when will he come out?" Elder Feng asked curiously.
Waiting was a form of torture. Since the Young Master could calculate it, he wouldn't have to suffer so much if the Young Master directly told him the result.
"What's the rush? When he comes out, I will tell you Cheng Yu said indifferently.
He didn't really know divination. He just relied on the plants in the City Lord's Mansion to act as his eyes. Now City Lord Hong Tian was still in the City Lord's Mansion. How could he know when he would come out?
However, he would not tell these people that he did not know divination.
"I hate waiting like this the most!" Elder Feng said.
Don't worry, there will be results soon. No matter what, he will definitely leave the City Lord's Mansion before dark Cheng Yu said.
"Why is that?" Elder Yun asked.
"Because there are a lot of people in the day. If a few people came out from the City Lord's Mansion, I think no one would care.
But at night, he knows that we will definitely send people to keep an eye on him. At that time, even if someone came out from the mansion, we might follow him.
Furthermore, he has already set up two traps. If he doesn't strike while the iron is hot and still wants to wait until night, then these two traps will be useless. "Cheng Yu explained.
"That's true. Now it's getting late, so he should be coming out soon!" Elder Fang nodded.
Everyone waited patiently in the attic once again.
After about half an hour, there were indeed people coming out from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Young Master, there are more than a dozen people. Furthermore, they have already walked in different directions. Which one is the City Lord Hong Tian? "Elder Yun looked at those people who had separated from the City Lord's Mansion and asked doubtfully.
Being so far away and everyone was still wearing the clothes of a servant, he really couldn't tell which one was the City Lord Hong Tian.
This time, Cheng Yu was not careless. Instead, he stared at everyone who came out from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Do you see that? It's the one in the middle of the three people who are walking towards the east gate." Cheng Yu sized them up for a moment before pointing at them.
"Then should we follow them now?" Elder Feng couldn't wait to chase after them.
"Let's go together!" Cheng Yu spoke and went downstairs.
Since the main character had already appeared, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.
Needless to say, this City Lord Hong Tian was really cunning. A dozen people coming out from the City Lord's Mansion wasn't a big deal. Therefore, it wouldn't attract too much attention.
Furthermore, these people were all wearing the clothes of an ordinary servant. When they exited the mansion, they would walk in different directions one by one. This made it even easier to confuse others.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Cheng Yu had the ability to use the Wood Void Mirror to clearly see the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, even he wouldn't be able to distinguish the real from the fake.
However, what they didn't expect was that after the three of them exited from the east gate, the east gate would close at this moment.
In the end, Cheng Yu and the others could only be trapped in the city.
"What's going on? Isn't it still not the time to close the city gate?" The sudden closing of the city gate not only blocked Cheng Yu and the others, but also all the commoners who wanted to enter and exit the city.
Hongyu City would close its gates every night. But now, it was only three in the afternoon. It wasn't the time to close the city gate yet. There were still a lot of commoners who wanted to enter and exit the city gate. How could everyone not create a ruckus?
"That's right! Quickly open the gate. We still need to hurry out of the city to go home! "Many people started to create a ruckus.
"All of you shut up. Something important happened today. Therefore, all the city gates have been closed in advance. Those who want to exit the city, wait until tomorrow morning!" The city guard general shouted.
"Young master, what should we do? They actually closed the city gate at this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with them! "When the others saw the situation, they started to get anxious.
No one expected that the city gate would be closed at this time. This had spoiled their plans.
"Young master, I think this should be a trap set up by the city master. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the city gate to close the moment they left the city! "Elder Yang speculated.
"You're right. This is indeed a trap set up by him!" Cheng Yu nodded.
"This city master is really cunning. It seems like he's much smarter than we thought. What should we do now?" Elder Fang was also somewhat anxious.
With Cheng Yu's current ability, as long as the three of them were not more than 50 miles away from him, he would be able to grasp their traces. Originally, he didn't need to worry about them escaping.
Furthermore, with the cultivation of the city master, if they were too close, it would be very easy for them to be discovered.
Therefore, they intentionally didn't follow too closely. However, they didn't expect that the city master would actually make such a move.
In an instant, they were separated from each other. If Hong Tian City Lord was too far away, even Cheng Yu would have a hard time finding them.
"The three of them temporarily won't be able to escape. However, no matter what, we have to get out of the city. If it's really impossible, we will have to force our way out! "Cheng Yu pondered and said.
Based on the current situation, it was impossible for the city master to escape out of his range of control. However, he also had to make the best use of his time. If they continued to stay in the city, 50 miles wasn't a long distance. With the speed of the city master, they would soon disappear without a trace.
"Since it's like this, we can only force them to open the gate!" Elder Feng was anxious. This wasn't a solution. He just wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible.
"Go. This time, I won't stop you." Cheng Yu nodded his head.
The city master and the others were very important. At such a crucial moment, they couldn't let them escape.
"Good. With young master's words, everything will be easier!" Elder Feng received the order and rushed forward.
"Open the gate now. Otherwise, I will start a massacre!" Elder Feng stepped forward and grabbed the guard general.
"You … who are you?" The guard general felt that his body was no longer under his control. Immediately, he looked at the person in front of him in horror.
"If you don't open the gate now, I will be the one who will take your life!" Elder Feng said coldly.
"This is the city master's order. We can't open it now!" The guard general braced himself and said.
"Since you don't want to open it, I can only open it myself!" Elder Feng slapped the guard general to death on the spot. It scared the other guards so much that their legs turned soft.
"Are you guys going to open it or not?" Elder Feng looked at the remaining guards and said.
"Open it! We will open it now! "Even their guard general had been killed so easily. How could they dare not to open it?
"Young master, are we already too far away? Will we lose them?" After exiting the city, Elder Feng asked anxiously.
"Rest assured. Everything is under my control. The current situation is pretty good. Let them lead the way for us!" Cheng Yu reassured.
"Young Master, are you sure that one of them is the City Lord of Hong Tian?" Elder Xu asked, feeling very doubtful.
Although the young master had said that he had the ability of divination, Elder Xu still felt somewhat uncertain.
