Chapter 1596
Chapter 1596: Capture Uncle Shi Chapter 1596: Capture Uncle Shi In the car.
Zhang Ronghua used his soul to transmit a message to Uncle Shi, telling him to drive at a ‘normal’ speed.
With the latter’s intelligence, he could guess something from this sentence.
He deliberated over the entire plan.
It wasn’t very good.
It could only be average.
However, the atmosphere, the heat, the ruthlessness, and the realism of the two’s acting were at least 50% certain that the mastermind would be forced out.
…
Using himself as bait, it would depend on whether they accepted it.
The capital had not been very peaceful recently.
There had been one incident after another.
Coupled with the fact that the Crown Prince’s wedding was imminent, the imperial court had issued a ban on going out at night.
Anyone caught on the streets would be punished severely.
The patrol force was doubled, and the four departments were each responsible for an area.
They sent experts to patrol to ensure the safety of the people.
The Heaven Secrets Carriage traveled on the streets and met three groups of patrolling people.
No matter which yamen it was from or who was leading the group, when they saw it coming, they took the initiative to make way and bowed to the carriage.
In the darkness.
Under the cover of the night, a black shadow appeared hundreds of feet away, blending into the darkness.
Its aura was restrained and did not radiate at all, like a ghost.
Looking in the direction of the carriage, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
He wasn’t in a hurry to move.
He was very patient as he observed his surroundings over and over again.
“What’s going on?” he asked, frowning as if he was puzzled.
Could it be that the rumors are false?”
With his cultivation, if Xia Hou really had the protection of an expert from the Fate Academy, it would be impossible to hide from him.
He didn’t believe it, so he took out a golden mirror.
It was the size of a baby’s palm and was engraved with mysterious patterns.
It emitted the aura of a top-notch Numinous treasure.
It was called the Heaven Peering Mirror.
It had a powerful effect and could check the traces of people hiding nearby.
Anyone who appeared in the surroundings would not be able to hide from it, unless the Qi Restraining Technique had reached the sixth realm of the Dao of Nearness.
However, there were very few people like this.
Throughout the entire continent, there were not even a handful of them.
Secretly infusing his vital essence into it, he restrained the phenomenon and magnified it countless times.
In this state, everything in the vicinity could not be hidden and appeared clearly in front of him, including the ants crawling on the ground and the rats hiding underground.
After a while.
The black shadow put away the Heaven Peeking Mirror, feeling puzzled.
No one?”
Shaking his head, he rejected the idea.
If that was the case, he would have been killed long ago after so many people tried to assassinate Xia Hou.
He wouldn’t have been able to survive until now.
After some deductions, there was only one person left, the carriage driver, Uncle Shi!
He should be an expert sent by the Fate Academy and was under the guise of a butler to protect him.
However, it did not make sense.
When Xia Hou and Yang Hongling met, Uncle Shi had already appeared in the residence.
From this, it did not make sense.
“Could it be that this matter was a lie from the beginning to the end?”
He denied this guess and continued thinking.
The black shadow realized that his brain was not enough.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.
No matter which point it was, there was something that could not be explained.
Suddenly.
With a flash of inspiration, a ” correct ” guess jumped out.
The Fate Academy had indeed sent experts to protect him.
Later on, when they found out that Uncle Shi was an expert, the old teacher withdrew the people he sent out and left him by his side to protect him.
If that was the case, everything would make sense.
He looked at the carriage.
The black shadow was secretly proud, No matter how deep you hide, I will still find you!
They continued to follow him, but they had not reached their destination yet.
He had no idea that he had been discovered by Zhang Ronghua and Uncle Shi the moment he appeared.
If he knew that he was facing a Heavenly Dao realm expert and the number one expert at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm, he would never have come over.
The two of them transmitted their souls.
“He’s here,”Uncle Shi said.
Zhang Ronghua nodded.
Although the black shadow covered his face, he couldn’t hide from them.
It was Xue Bo.
He was very fast and caught up with them not long after they left the Jiang Mansion.
It seemed that Jiang Shangcheng’s judgment was right.
There was something wrong between him and the butler.
Including his use of the Heaven Peeking Mirror, it was also within their senses.
” The mastermind doesn’t want a simple assassination.
If that’s the case, he could’ve done it elsewhere, or he could’ve ambushed my residence.”
Uncle Shi agreed.
Zhang Ronghua continued,” It’s only been a few minutes since we left the Jiang Mansion, and he’s already caught up with us.
He should have made a plan.
Judging from this, even if he’s a mighty person, it’s impossible for him to rush back and tell the person behind the news in such a short time.
It’s speculated that the butler’s identity is not simple.
He should be higher than Xue Bo.”
He paused for a moment before continuing with his soul transmission.
” Just now, I had a falling out with Jiang Shangcheng and caused a ruckus in the Jiang Mansion.
I even beat him up.
In order to maximize the benefits, Jiang Shangcheng would have no way of refuting it if someone from his mansion tried to kill him and was captured on the spot.
If I’m not wrong, Xue Bo was abandoned.
The butler also planned for Xue Bo to kill me.
Then, a backup plan would appear.
It would be best if it was someone from the imperial court.
Only then would the benefits be maximized.
Moreover, it would have to be someone with a high cultivation level who could subdue Xue Bo so that he would not be able to speak.
After eliminating them, there are only four departments left.”There are still two other academies.
We’ll eliminate Destiny Academy first.
It’s hard to say if Jixia Academy is a suspect.
They’ll appear in time after I die and kill Xue Bo to silence him.
In that case, even if Jiang Shangcheng has a hundred people, he won’t be able to explain himself.”
There was no need to say anything else.
As long as he died, the new faction would not let it go.
Jiang Shangcheng was the first to be taken down, and his men, no matter what their status was, there was only one outcome-death!
The old teacher would also attack in anger, and the mastermind would continue to stir up trouble in secret, causing this dispute to grow bigger and bigger.
Emperor Xia would also be unable to avoid it.
