Chapter 89 Rebellion
Chu Tang made a comeback and arrived at the City God's Temple faster than Jia Sanniang and the others.
It was very dark, and the sparse lights in the Chenghuang Temple gave off a penetrating light at night.
And Chu Tang used Snow Stepping to float into the temple without a trace, as light as a ghost.
Fortunately, there was no one in the temple, otherwise I would have been frightened to death if I saw such a flying shadow in the sky.
He carefully checked around and found that even the temple blessings were not there. The entire temple was empty and uninhabited.
However, there was a fire in the main hall, which was much warmer than outside.
At this time, the firewood in the stove was almost extinguished. There were three small stools next to the iron stove. It seemed that some people had gathered around the fire to warm themselves up.
Chu Tang guessed that it was Jia Sanniang and the others who had done this, and they should have settled here in the past few days.
With this in mind, Chu Tang found several luggage and baggage in the two side rooms of the main hall.
"The luggage is still there, they should be back, right?" Chu Tang was looking forward to it.
He turned back to the City God's Temple, with the mentality of a blind cat chasing a dead mouse. He was not sure that he would return here, let alone what he could gain.
Although he was moved, he did not dare to tamper with the baggage for fear of exposing his flaws.
After observing back and forth for a while, Chu Tang finally found a hiding place in the main hall - the beam on the roof of the hall.
The City God's Temple is not small in scale, and the materials used are also very sophisticated. The beams on the top are very large, thicker than a person, and they are very high from the ground, as much as two feet.
People fall on it and hold their breath. If they don't pay special attention to observe, they will not be easily discovered.
After the observation, Chu Tang immediately used his luck and jumped onto the beam, found a place where the shadow was cast, and lay down.
From this position, he could clearly see the situation in the main hall, but even if he looked up below, it would be difficult to find his traces.
A good ambush indeed.
Chu Tang was extremely happy with this gentleman in Liang Shang.
Not to mention anything else, after successfully escaping just now, the panel reminded him that he had received chivalry points, a total of five hundred!
Chu Tang was surprised at first. He didn't kill the thieves tonight, nor did he catch anyone. What's the value of chivalry?
The only thing I can think of is to ruin the deal between Gu San and Jia Sanniang.
It seems that the system decided that what they were doing was evil and very unjust, so he was rewarded just for causing damage.
This is equivalent to killing a Fourth Realm thief!
"This panel is getting more and more important." Chu Tang has a deeper understanding of the panel's functions.
Now that his chivalry value has risen to over 3,000 points, he can spend it again.
Although he did not hit the enemy with a crushing blow today, he easily stole two things from the opponent using Qinggong alone and escaped easily, which made Chu Tang have a clearer understanding of Qinggong.
"The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed." Chu Tang believes that he has an unparalleled understanding of this sentence - those who are stronger than me are not as fast as me; those who are faster than me are not as strong as me.
In short, it is also a quick way to apply oil on the soles of your feet if you can't win. Afraid of death, not shabby!
But now that he has three thousand chivalry points, he can spend more on Qinggong.
Whether it's upgrading to the level of Tuxue Wuhen, which is just a minor achievement, or exchanging it for a new Qinggong movement technique, there is no problem.
Of course, Tuxue Wuhen still has potential to be tapped, and there should be no need to tinker with new light skills for the time being.
Thinking of this, Chu Tang had an idea. If it weren't for the wrong time, he would have been unable to help but operate on the panel immediately.
Just as Chu Tang suppressed his excitement, there was a sound outside the Chenghuang Temple.
The rustling footsteps seemed extremely clear and loud in the middle of the night.
"You're back?" Chu Tang immediately calmed down, held his breath, and waited for the person to come.
With a creak, the door opened and three people walked in.
It was Jia Sanniang, Sun Qiang and Yan Jiu.
After the three of them entered the main hall, they sat by the fire to keep warm.
Jia Sanniang, a woman in red, sits in the middle, and the other two people line up on both sides.
Yan Jiu had the lowest status. Seeing that the firewood in the stove was almost burning, he stood up and picked up a few pieces of firewood nearby and added them to the stove.
Soon, there was a crackling sound from the furnace, the fire became stronger, and the hall became brighter and warmer.
After sitting down again, the three of them didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere was tense.
Chu Tang could see clearly that the woman in red was very cautious. Even though there were only three of them in the room, she still covered herself with a veil and did not show her true face.
The three of them sat quietly, watching the red flames flickering in a daze.
Just when Chu Tang thought they would sit quietly all night and he would gain nothing, Yan Jiu suddenly spoke: "Sun Dulong, have you ever suspected a possibility?"
He didn't dare to ask Jia Sanniang, who was very powerful, but her voice was normal, so the latter must have listened.
"What's possible?" Sun Qiang asked.
Yan Jiu glanced at the woman in red carefully, and then said hesitantly: "Have you ever thought that the person who took away the bronze mirror and Xuan Tie was really Gu San's accomplice! They collaborated to perform a show for us In this scene, just for the sake of being black and white, I took the black iron and kept the mirror."
The scene suddenly became quiet, and from time to time the crackling of firewood and the long breathing of several people could be heard.
Sun Qiang said nothing and glanced at the woman in red strangely.
The woman in red's eyes flickered, making it difficult to guess.
After a while, the dry voice of Jia Sanniang, a woman in red, sounded: "Yan Jiu, why did you say that?"
Yan Jiu said: "Sister Sanniang, I am just guessing, there is no evidence."
"What's the reason?" Jia Sanniang was unhappy.
Yan Jiu hurriedly said: "The man in black is only in the fourth realm. To be honest, if it weren't for Gu San's restraint, no matter how high his Qing Gong was, he wouldn't be able to succeed so easily. You guys have forgotten that the box containing Xuan Tie , just lost it in front of Gu San! Gu San is a man with better martial arts than us. Under normal circumstances, how could he lose the black iron that he cherishes so much? Maybe they had a plan and everything went through the motions as they planned. .”
Jia Sanniang and the two fell silent again.
Chu Tang, the gentleman from Liang Shang, was dumbfounded when he heard it. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He wished he could give Yan Jiu some praise: It was originally a very simple matter of cutting off the enigma halfway, but it turned out to be a conspiracy drama for him.
This gentleman's ability to bend the building is extraordinary!
However, Chu Tang was happy to see them guessing like this. In this way, the water would become muddier, which would be the same as his previous purpose and would be more beneficial to him.
Next, Yan Jiu said nothing after talking about his guess.
Any further words would offend the woman in red. After all, she was the leader of this operation and she was the one who made the decision on the spot.
Now that the goal has not been achieved, the three of them are a little panicked, fearing that the higher-ups will blame them.
The silence of the three people made Chu Tang anxious. He wanted to hear more news about the bronze mirror, but they did not touch on this topic at all.
After a while, Sun Qiang asked: "Master Sanniang, what should we do next? Is it really like what Gu San said, we can only passively wait for news of the appearance of a large amount of black iron outside?"
"You question this method, what do you think we should do?" The woman in red became impatient.
"I..." Sun Qiang couldn't explain why.
Chu Tang was frightened when he heard that he had obtained twenty kilograms of black iron. While he was excited, he also secretly made a series of plans:
For example, some black iron was taken out and returned to the iron shops in Guijun County as a case was solved; in addition, more black iron was taken out to build higher-grade magic weapons.
As for those black iron stolen goods from Meng County - the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Meng County's affairs have nothing to do with me, Gui County Police!
Go cool off!
He, Chu Tang, is not so noble that his brain is amusing.
Besides, after the case is solved, don’t all the stolen goods seized belong to the Yamen?
If you don’t tell me and I don’t tell you, who knows where the thieves got these extra stolen goods?
Will the thief come and explain the situation?
Stop being funny!
In short, Chu Tang regarded all the black iron except the loss of Guijun Iron Shop as his unexpected gains.
Now that he heard that the people below planned to use Xuan Tie as a breakthrough point to investigate, he immediately put away this thought. At least, it won't be announced in the near future.
"My dear! I just want to be a little detective, why don't you let me have an easy time?" Chu Tang cursed secretly in his heart.
At this stage, he doesn't want to expose his strength and identity to avoid getting into big trouble.
He doesn't think that his current level of the Five Realms can ignore the people of the world.
He might be able to deal with someone from the fifth or sixth realm, or escape safely, but what if someone comes from the seventh or eighth realm?
When the strength is overwhelming, any luck is just a joke.
Before you have absolute strength, just keep growing, which is the right way!
"How about..." While Chu Tang's thoughts were racing, Sun Qiang slowly responded to the woman in red's question, "Sir Sanniang, how about we report it to the superiors."
"Do you think we didn't die quickly enough?" Jia Sanniang smiled coldly, "If we fail in doing something and it's irreversible, you know the consequences!"
Sun Qiang and Yan Jiu shuddered immediately, as if they thought of some scary scene, and couldn't help but get closer to the fire, hoping to drive away the chill in their hearts with more warmth.
"But..." Sun Qiang defended himself a few words, "Sir Sanniang, it's not that I'm discouraged, it's just that we've been in a lot of disadvantages recently and lost our troops and generals. First, Master Li was inexplicably lost in a forest, and then he ran into a guard. The mission to rescue Li San was completely shattered.
"Now the mission of finding the bronze mirror has been inexplicably messed up. It's obvious that there is a power beyond our imagination at work, and we can't control it at all!"
When Jia Sanniang heard this, she just snorted coldly and said nothing. Finally, she said bitterly: "If you find out who is causing trouble and kill my second brother, I will peel off his skin and beat his muscles!"
Sun Qiang and Yan Jiu twitched their mouths and looked at each other, thinking that the two adults who were more powerful in martial arts than you, a bitch, died inexplicably, and their whole bodies were burned to charcoal. What can you, a bitch, do?
Secretly, she was even more disappointed. Since the death of the second master, Jia Sanniang had become mentally disturbed, doing things impulsively and regardless of the consequences.
They are worried that if they continue to work with such people, they will disappear inexplicably one day, and they are eagerly looking forward to sending a more powerful person to take charge of important events.
After a while, Jia Sanniang suddenly sighed and said: "Sun Dulong, just do what you want. You report to the superior and ask for instructions on the follow-up matters. I won't do this damn task anymore!"
"Uh... yes, sir!" Although Sun Qiang was happy that his goal was achieved, he did not dare to show it for fear of offending this nervous woman.
In fact, he also agreed with what the woman in red said. They went back and forth for a mirror, but in the end they had nothing. They might have to face accountability and punishment from above. It was really unfair!
"Sister Sanniang, what are we looking for that bronze mirror for?" Yan Jiu glanced at Sun Qiang and couldn't help but ask, "It's not clear from above, so let us get it at any cost. . Also, why don’t you trade in the state city instead of traveling all the way to Gui County? That Gu San was also found by them for us, and they only asked us to pick up things. We don’t know him at all. No, rashly Come on, the mission has failed!"
Jia Sanniang's voice changed and she said coldly: "Yan Jiu, are you impatient? Do you dare to inquire about the matters above?"
Yan Jiu retorted: "We work hard for the organization and do things with our heads in our pants, but in the end we don't even have the slightest bit of trust? Sun Dulong, are you willing?"
Sun Qiang was speechless, but the inexplicable look in his eyes revealed his mood.
"Are you going to rebel?" Jia Sanniang became even more angry when she saw this.
"You are the ones who want to rebel, right?" Yan Jiu suddenly made a shocking statement.
"You..." Jia Sanniang stood up and pointed at the two people sitting, her fingers trembling, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yan Jiu sneered and Sun Qiang was silent.
While Chu Tang on the beam was frightened, he became more and more excited as he listened. There was a voice in his heart shouting: It's coming! coming! Tear it apart, tear it apart as much as you like! Better reveal all your secrets to me!
He was lying on the beam, freezing for most of the night, just for this moment to come!
