The murderer would naturally be killed.
But Jin Sheng could not catch up to the murderer. His perception could only determine that it was a woman carrying a man.
He suddenly thought that only Liumu Bingjian could escape his pursuit.
But that woman had a strong fire element aura, completely different from Liumu Bingjian. How could they be the same person?
Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. A faint possibility floated into his mind, causing his heart to sink and his face to turn as pale as frost.
If it was true!
A cold glint shot out of his eyes. He suddenly punched the wall.
Bam!
Soil and rocks flew, but they were blocked by an invisible force outside his body.
He waved his hand and was about to go back when someone turned the corner. "Brother Jin, where is he?"
"I lost him," Jin Sheng said with a dark expression. "You were the one guarding the retreat. How could you let him escape?"
The person was Wang Kun.
His face was full of awkwardness. He forced a smile. "That person's cultivation is very high. I am not his match. Cough cough, Brother Jin, Lord is waiting for you to report. "
It was still the wine tavern.
This was Lone Eagle's third pot of wine.
After drinking the last drop, he glanced at the two and said, "Looks like I failed again."
Jin Sheng took a deep breath. "Lord, although we did not catch that thief, we foiled the plot of the Heavenly Strategies Tower. I will continue to follow up on this matter. I will not let the Heavenly Strategies Tower have a chance!"
He knew that this answer was not convincing. He quickly said, "Lord, the plot of the Heavenly Strategies Tower has been exposed. Gu Guanlan's role has been greatly reduced. Perhaps we can ask them for the person!"
Lone Eagle's hand began to lightly knock on the table again.
Again and again. It was as if he was knocking on Jin Sheng's heart.
The invisible pressure caused cold sweat to appear on Jin Sheng's forehead. He could not help but feel thirsty. He wiped his sweat. "Lord …"
"I said that I would only give you one last chance," Lone Eagle suddenly said.
Jin Sheng's face instantly turned pale.
Although he had already planned to resign, being chased away and leaving on his own were two different things. The former would make him unable to raise his head in the Holy Dynasty. The latter would allow him to accept another position with dignity.
When he thought of this, he instantly felt indignant in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please give me another chance …"
Lone Eagle's eyes were cold to the extreme. "I've never taken back my words, and you're no exception. Gu Guanlan, you don't need to worry about him. Now go and do your last task. Whether you succeed or not, I'll spare your life. You can go back to the Golden Bell Sect. "
"Milord …" Jin Sheng knelt on the ground. He gritted his teeth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lone Eagle.
"This is the end!" Lone Eagle stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves. His figure was indescribably heartless.
Jin Sheng's heart was like dead ashes as he knelt on the ground in a daze, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
Wang Kun was both in awe and pity.
Yu Jinsheng was in awe of the great power of the Immortal Detective. As a dignified Mansion Master of Northern Tang, Yu Jinsheng was dismissed without any mercy. Yu Jinsheng's life was going to be tough. First of all, he would lose the generous salary given by the Dragon Emperor Sacred Court. His usual filial piety during festivals was also gone. The disdain and mockery of his colleagues, the mockery and contempt of his schoolmates, all of this would come one after another, unless he hid in the Golden Bell Sect forever. However, his fellow disciples would not be easy to deal with either.
For a person who was used to ordering people around, this was no less than ruining his life.
Jin Sheng gradually recovered from his bewilderment. When he thought of his current predicament and how it was all because of one person, the anger in his chest was like an active volcano that was about to erupt.
The boiling lava was roasting his flesh, blood, soul, his beliefs, and everything about him.
In the end, it all merged into one, and that was destruction.
The so-called destruction: either you die, or I die.
…
The horse carriage moved forward.
Liumu Bingjian could not understand the current situation. It was originally a crisis of 'destruction', but suddenly there was a twist. Things were progressing according to the original plan without any mistakes, and it was only to the extent of 'a small trick'.
"Why are you so sure that Jin Sheng will be fooled?" She could not help but ask.
Shangguan Feihong, who was of course Yan Li, smiled faintly and said, "There are many factors involved, but the main problem is Jin Sheng himself."
"What problem does he have?" Liumu Bingjian asked.
Yan Li said, "He was able to climb to the position of Manor Head, of course, it was not based on his strength alone."
Liumu Bingjian said, "I'm curious about this. As the Manor Head, does he not even have this little bit of judgment?"
"This is the blind spot of his heart," Yan Li said.
Liumu Bingjian said, "What a novel way of putting it, what do you mean?"
Yan Li said, "He said that he had knelt countless times, but had never been slapped in the face. From this, it can be seen that he is very conceited."
"This, you can understand it that way," Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li said, "Conceited people are usually very confident in their own judgment, and will never admit defeat until they have completely failed."
Liumu Bingjian said, "That's why he is so confident in his own judgment, and that's why he abandoned you and chased after Qing You."
"Most importantly," Yan Li said with a smile, "I did not resist, if I was really pretending, he thought that I would definitely resist."
"But I still don't quite understand." Liumu Bingjian frowned and said, "Jin Sheng is not stupid, he will soon realize the problem. If I were him, I would immediately mobilize people to stop the carriage from returning."
Yan Li said with a slight mockery, "This is his biggest weakness."
"Weakness?" Liumu Bingjian said.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Do you think he would dare to tell the Lone Eagle that I might have already infiltrated the Flying Roc Fort? Moreover, what the Lone Eagle wants is similar to what you want, if he turns from a participant to a bystander, it's very likely that he will kill him on the spot. "
Liumu Bingjian suddenly understood and said, "He can only hide it to the end, otherwise the situation will be very disadvantageous. This can indeed be called a weakness."
"Meow …" Suddenly, a faint cat's meow came from under the seat.
Liumu Bingjian looked in the direction of the sound, and immediately said in surprise, "Why is it here?"
"Maybe it followed you here," Yan Li said with a smile, "So young, but it already knows the beauty of a beauty, it's really promising!"
Liumu Bingjian rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's a female cat."
At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted, and the carriage shook.
Yan Li secretly lifted the curtain to take a look, and his expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Zhang Jin, didn't I say to go back? Where do you want the carriage to go?"
Steward Zhang sat on the horse and said with a gloomy voice, "Young Master, the accountant asked you to go and check the accounts from last night. I'm afraid something is not right."
Yan Li and Liumu Bingjian looked at each other, their hearts thumping.
Although Shangguan Feihong's information was detailed, how could he know something like 'checking the accounts from last night'?
Could it be that he was suspicious?
