"Let's find an inn to rest first, then we'll take a stroll around Luoyang tonight. Tomorrow, we'll get down to business." Sei Itō turned his head and said to Mayo, Ya Ye, Miun Tentan, Emi Toqi, Fu Junzhuo, and Wei Zhenzhen.
"Okay," Ya Ye and the others replied in unison.
Then, Ito Sei used his mind to drive the carriage into Luoyang City. Finally, it stopped in front of an inn.
The modified carriage was originally very comfortable. It wasn't as bumpy and uncomfortable as the carriages of this era. In addition, apart from Wei Zhenzhen, who was the most ordinary, everyone in the group was a martial arts expert. They didn't feel tired, so after a simple rest, they followed Sei Itō out of the inn and strolled around the bustling city of Luoyang.
Not to mention Mayo and Ya Ye's strange hair color, as well as Miun Tentan and Emi Toqi's strange clothes, just the girls' beautiful faces were very eye-catching. Sei Itō, who was accompanied by six gorgeous beauties, became the target of envy and jealousy of the young masters of Luoyang City. Not long after they left the streets, a rich young master, who had clearly been hollowed out by wine and women, came up to Ya Ye and the others. He ignored Sei Itō's existence and struck up a conversation with Ya Ye and the others.
"Ah Cheng?" Ya Ye, who didn't know what to do, looked at Sei Itō with a questioning gaze. But before Ito Seiji could speak, Zhen Ye, who was already annoyed, immediately stepped forward and kicked everyone, including the rich kid, flying out one by one.
"Ah!" The people who were kicked away let out long howls.
"It seems that I don't need to tell you. Mayo has already put the answer in front of you," Sei Itō said with a shrug.
Ya Ye chuckled and forgot about it. He continued to stroll around Luoyang City with Mayo, Sei Itō, and the others in high spirits. Of course, in the process of strolling, Ito Cheng did not forget to inquire about some information from the people around him, such as where Man Qing Courtyard was, where the Rong Family's courtyard was, and where the mansion of Wang Shichong, the manager of Luoyang City, was.
Speaking of Wang Shichong … Sei Itō naturally thought of Wang Shili, the General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, who he had ordered to be beheaded. He remembered hearing people report that Wang Shili and Wang Shichong were brothers of the same clan, but their blood relationship was very distant. He didn't know if Wang Shichong remembered such a brother.
"With Wang Shichong's ambition, even if he does remember such a person, would he dare to fall out with me, the General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, who controls the entire defense of Chang 'an City?" Sei Itō's eyes flashed with disdain.
Until ten o 'clock at night … After strolling around Luoyang City's night market, Sei Itō and the others returned to the inn and rested in their rooms.
The next morning, after Sei Itō and the others had breakfast, they left the inn together and took a carriage to General Wang Shichong's residence in the east of Luoyang City.
"Report to your master that the General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, Chen Xicheng, is here to see him," Sei Itō said to Wang Shichong's servant as he got off the carriage with the girls.
"Yes. This lowly one will go and report. " Those who could become servants were all astute people, not to mention that Sei Itō had already reported his identity. He completely understood that the person in front of him was a servant of an important person and did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly agreed and ran into the residence.
At the same time, another shrewd servant hurriedly led Sei Itō and the others into the residence and into the reception room.
"Master. There is a young man outside who calls himself the General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, Chen Xicheng, requesting an audience. " After passing through the corridors and courtyard, the servant quickly ran into a room that looked like a study and was filled with paintings. He bowed and greeted a tall and burly man sitting behind a long brown table. His facial features were deep and he did not look like a Han person. His hair and beard were somewhat brown, and he looked to be in his forties with a rough face. At a glance, one could tell that this was a man who had weathered many hardships.
This person was the actual commander of Luoyang City, Wang Shichong! Wang was the surname he had received after returning to the Han Dynasty. Later on, he was given the surname Yang because of Yang Guang's favor. However, in the end, he was still a Hu, so it was no wonder that he looked different from a Han person.
"General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, Chen Xicheng?" Wang Shichong put down the book in his hand and repeated with a frown.
"Yes." The servant confirmed.
"What is he doing here?" Wang Shichong muttered to himself in confusion. After all, he had never had any relationship with this Chang 'an Garrison that had suddenly appeared and was appointed by Yang Guang as an exception. He had never even seen him before and had never thought that he would come to pay him a visit.
"Lead the way." However, no matter what he thought, he could not neglect Sei Itō and put down the book in his hand. He said as he stood up from his chair.
The servant did not say anything else and immediately turned around to lead Wang Shichong out …
"This must be the newly promoted General of the Left Wuwei Battalion, General Chen Xicheng. This lowly one is Wang Shichong. Nice meeting you!" Wang Shichong, who had followed the servant to the reception area, had a sincere smile on his face. As he walked towards Sei Itō, he cupped his fists and spoke.
"Sir Yang is too polite. Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit you without notifying you beforehand." Sei Itō stood up and cupped his fists as he spoke politely.
"Not at all, not at all. General Chen has come because you think highly of me, Yang Shichong. There is no such thing as taking the liberty." Wang Shichong pretended to be displeased as he spoke.
"It's my fault, my fault." Sei Itō echoed with a smile.
"Please!" At this moment, Wang Shichong, who had already walked to the main seat, extended his hand in invitation.
"Please!" Sei Itō also politely returned the gesture and sat back down in their chairs. Afterwards, two maids in silk robes entered the room and walked in front of Sei Itō and Wang Shichong. They placed a cup of hot tea on the short table next to them and then left.
After the maids left, Wang Shichong picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip. He then raised his head and asked Chen Xicheng, "What is the purpose of General's visit this time?"
"Just a greeting." Sei Itō also picked up the teacup and took a sip. He barely swallowed the tea that had salt added to it. His fingers holding the teacup moved imperceptibly as he replied with a smile.
At the same time, Sei Itō skillfully placed a restriction that no one else knew about in the room.
"Then this old man is overthinking." Regardless of whether Sei Itō was telling the truth or not, Wang Shichong laughed and said.
But before his laughter fell, Sei Itō's figure suddenly disappeared from his seat and appeared in front of him. Wang Shichong's pupils shrank, but he couldn't avoid it. He slapped Wang Shichong's neck and sent a bioelectric signal created by the medical ninjutsu — — Flickering Body Rush into Wang Shichong's body, affecting his control of his body.
Then. Itō Mori clapped his hands and quickly slapped several major acupoints on Wang Shichong's body, whose reaction was slow because of the Flurry Dash Skill. A stream of high-quality strange power was sealed in Wang Shichong's body, completely blocking the circulation path of Wang Shichong's Genuine Qi.
"General Chen, what is the meaning of this?" Wang Shichong, whose body was restrained, but except for a gloomy expression on his face, there was no other obvious change. He stared at Sei Itō and questioned.
"Naturally, I want to get closer to you." Sei Itō raised his right hand slightly, stretched out his index finger and lightly touched Wang Shichong's forehead, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about the ownership of Luoyang city."
At the same time as he spoke. Sei Itō released his spiritual force, forming a variety of illusions and a strange voice to affect Wang Shichong's consciousness. And this situation fell into Wang Shichong's eyes. Sei Itō's body was like an illusion, twisting and distorting and gradually disappearing. The voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal and boundless, arousing bursts of sleepiness.
Knowing that this was an illusion, Wang Shichong fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. He stimulated himself with pain to maintain his consciousness.
"You are from the Devil Sect!?" Wang Shichong asked loudly.
"People from the Devil Sect are not necessarily as powerful as me." Sei Itō's voice that seemed to come from the sky sounded.
At that moment, Wang Shichong felt his surroundings change. He had returned to the study he had been in earlier. He was reading a book on the art of war in his hand. It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream, unreal and unreal.
Wang Shichong, who was a little uncertain of his environment, fiercely bit the tip of his tongue again, using the pain to stimulate himself.
"Hmm?" Wang Shichong, who found that there were no changes in his surroundings, frowned and silently stirred up the True Qi in his body. It was the same. There was no feeling of sluggishness at all, and it was very smooth.
"Could it be that what I was thinking just now was just a dream?" Wang Shichong said to himself hesitantly.
Everything he had experienced before was naturally not a dream, but a real scene. And the environment he was in now was a fake illusion created by Sei Itō's hypnosis ability and spiritual sensing ability that could be passed off as reality!
Wang Shichong, who was still skeptical, suddenly stood up and strode out of the study room. He wandered around the mansion to observe and test the servants around him to see if there was anything wrong with him.
It was just that everything in this environment was originally based on the memories in his mind, so everyone's behavior, tone, and demeanor were exactly the same as he remembered. Thus, after wandering around for a long time, he did not find any problems.
"It seems that I've been thinking too much about that Chen Xicheng recently, causing me to have an empty dream," Wang Shichong muttered to himself as he shook his head in self-mockery.
"You've finally entered the shell." Outside, in the real world of the twin dragons of the Great Tang, Sei Itō, who was sensing something with his eyes closed, smiled and softly said. His Psychic Energy turned and began to brainwash and hypnotize Wang Shichong, who had already released his Psychic Defense.
In the end, Wang Shichong was the previous Great Yuan of the Great Ming Zun Sect, and his martial arts were very profound. Although he was only at the first-rate level, his Psychic Energy level was not bad. Thus, after more than half an hour, Sei Itō finally managed to plant a mental seed and psychological suggestion in the core of Wang Shichong's mind. He wanted Wang Shichong to become his living puppet.
"Milord." Wang Shichong's eyelids twitched, and then his eyes regained their light. He got up and bowed to Sei Itō, who had taken a step back from him.
"There's no need to be so polite," Sei Itō softly chuckled.
Sei Itō seemed to think of something and asked, "Right, is your niece, Dong Shuni, in the estate?"
Before Wang Shichong could say anything in response to Sei Itō's question, Zhen Ye raised an eyebrow and coldly snorted.
"Big Sister," Ya Ye softly called out, taking Zhen Ye's hand.
"Yes." Wang Shichong glanced at Shinya, whose identity he didn't know, and then looked at Ito Sei and replied.
Sei Itō glanced at Zhen Ye and smiled. "Send someone to call her over. I have something to discuss with her."
"Yes." Wang Shichong nodded, then stood up and walked out of the reception room. He found a servant who was working nearby and sent him to the backyard to greet his niece, Dong Shuni.
Not long after, Wang Shichong walked back into the room with a tall and slender young girl. She was wearing a plain silk dress that exposed half of her chest. Her skin was abnormally fair, and her long black hair was casually tied into a beautiful bun. Her lips were pink, and her eyes were black and bright. Her expression was full of loveliness and naivety.
"Milord, this is this one's niece, Dong Shuni," Wang Shichong said respectfully as he led Dong Shuni to Sei Itō.
Dong Shuni didn't expect her uncle to be so polite to a young man and even address him as Milord. She was stunned and looked at Sei Itō in a daze. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Shuni," Wang Shichong frowned and said in a low voice, reminding rather than reprimanding.
"Shuni greets milord." Dong Shuni returned to her senses and immediately displayed her noble demeanor. She lowered her head and gave Sei Itō a ladylike salute.
"Not bad. You truly live up to your reputation as one of Luoyang's two beauties," Sei Itō praised as he sized up Dong Shuni with interest.
"Milord is too kind," Dong Shuni said with a smile.
However, at this moment, Sei Itō's eyes suddenly lit up. A powerful spiritual force shot out from his eyes and directly entered Dong Shuni's mind. Dong Shuni only had a few martial arts skills and could be said to be an ordinary girl. He began to hypnotize her.
As a result, Sei Itō planted a spiritual seed in the depths of Dong Shuni's mind in the blink of an eye, implying her loyalty.
"Contact Yang Xuyan and tell him to come back immediately," Sei Itō ordered in an indifferent voice.
"Yes." Dong Shuni's expression froze for a moment before she lowered her head and agreed. Clearly, she was still worried about her lover after receiving the spiritual seed and didn't want to call him back.
It was also at this moment that Zhen Ye's expression returned to normal after discovering that Sei Itō wasn't as she thought.
"Wang Shichong, have someone prepare a few rooms for us. I'll be staying here for the time being." Sei Itō turned to look at Wang Shichong, who had been standing respectfully at the side the entire time. Apart from the slight movement of his eyes when he heard Dong Shuni and Yang Xuyan's words, he had been standing respectfully at the side the entire time.
"Yes, milord." Wang Shichong received the order and then led Sei Itō, Zhen Ye, Ya Ye, Fanchan Miyun, Tuqi Emi, Fu Junzhuo, and Wei Zhenzhen out of the reception room. They walked towards the rooms in the rear courtyard.
