Chapter 497 Children can be taught
Bai Qiru stared at the mother-and-child talisman in her hand and said, "This time the letter has become a mother-and-child talisman. This is to contact this side directly."
Li Xianghong snorted, "Does he think I can obey him?"
After saying that, he directly cast a spell on the mother-child talisman and sent out a questioning message: Who is it?
Shi Chun, who had arranged the furnishings in the library, was already boiling water and making tea by the stove. He took the time to glance at the new news and ignored such boring questions.
It seems that the guests in the library today came especially early and in large numbers. Most of them did not come to read books, but came because of the city lockdown and were looking for a place to chat. They talked a lot and made all kinds of speculations.
In the past, Shi Chun admired these scholars from the bottom of his heart. Later, after listening to their remarks more often, he found that many of them were not stupid because of reading too much, but were born stupid. No matter how much they read, it would be useless.
There were so many people that pot after pot of tea was emptied.
Shi Chun noticed that Dong Liangying behind the counter was quite happy to collect the money. When Shi Chun went over to refill her cup of tea, she whispered to him, "It would be nice to seal off the city occasionally."
Shi Chun smiled when he heard this, and found that this woman could be so happy just by collecting a few more coins. He was not greedy. Anyway, if it were him, he would not care about these few coins.
Li Xianghong on the other side, seeing that no one was paying attention, also lost control a little, and kept sending various messages, questioning, threatening, and negotiating.
Shi Chun ignored all this. The purpose of giving the talisman to the other party was very clear, it was not for chatting. As for the other party saying that he would throw away the talisman he gave him, haha, he thought he was a three-year-old child.
He dared to guarantee that with the accuracy of the previous secret letter, as long as he kept silent and left the other party confused, they would not throw away the mother-child talisman, and would even take the initiative to help him consider whether they had not seen the message. Even if they threw it away, they would pick it up in the end.
They are all adults doing serious work. Now that they have a possible channel to obtain evidence, how could they just throw it away?
The usually calm and composed City Lord Li Xianghong became a little uneasy and threw the mother-and-child talisman down the mountain without any hesitation, refusing to serve him anymore.
Bai Qiru, who was watching from the sidelines, followed the object flying down the mountain with his eyes, puffing on a cigarette, and reminded him, "Maybe there is some inside information to tell you."
Li Xianghong: "If you play tricks, you must have bad intentions. Lord Poyuan has come in person and is sitting outside the city. If you can't figure it out, you'll have to use force."
Bai Qiru was hesitant to speak. It would be easy to use force, but what about Huang Yingying's life?
The sun rises and sets, and the busy day in the library passes quickly. Shi Chun, who is busy running around, sees Fan Wuzhe several times, but he can see nothing obviously unusual from his words and expressions.
The city was in unrest, and Dong Wenshu asked his family not to go out unless necessary. Fan Wuzhe was obedient and did not run around.
The night was dark and approaching dawn.
In the back hall of the inner court, Mei You was placing small flags on a general map of the city area.
After the work was completed, he pointed at the layout and said with satisfaction: "The manpower has been deployed in a large area in a grid pattern. As long as we can provide the approximate location of the target, the nearest manpower can rush over quickly and find the target."
Lou Xiu, who was holding a mother-child talisman and communicating with the outside world from time to time, said: "They have finally agreed to hand over the things and the person. As long as we hand over the things, they will tell us where Huang Yingying is."
In order to cooperate closely, some things that had been kept secret before were finally told to this trusted subordinate.
Mei You hesitated and said, "If they hand the person over to us without verifying the authenticity of the item, will they keep their word?"
Lou Xiu stared at the map layout and said, "They know we dare not fool them with fake things, otherwise this transaction will be meaningless to us. It doesn't matter whether the other party keeps their word or not. What's important is that we have a deal to stabilize the other party, so that they won't be suspicious, and it will be easier for us to follow the clues. Our main goal is to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes. If you don't find out who the opponent is, do you think you can sit back and relax after getting Huang Yingying?"
Mei You nodded in thought, "How do we trade then?"
Lou Xiu: "After the ban is lifted, at the beginning of the Si hour, prepare a fine unicorn colt at the east gate. Tie a black cloth strip to the colt's tail. Place the item on the colt and someone will ride it away to complete the transaction. I will arrange for someone to prepare it."
Shi Chun in the library was lying on the patchwork table with a quilt covering him, and after thinking for a while, he took out a talisman and sent a message in the quilt: Jinliang. Later, Wu Jinliang's message came, asking: What happened?
Shi Chun: It’s decided. We’ll go out from the east gate and throw Ah Xun’s things into the grass forest beside the road. You should choose a suitable receiving location and go there in person.
Wu Jinliang expressed his doubt: Is it that simple? Will there be no obstacles?
Shi Chun: If we encounter obstacles and cannot escape smoothly, it doesn't matter if our identities are exposed. At worst, we can just fight our way out. Anyway, we have already got the things, and there is no need to stay in this damn place.
This is their confidence now. They have a lot of high-level magic weapons in their hands, so they want to repair more and better magic weapons.
Wu Jinliang: The question is, are you sure that the transaction item contains what we want?
Shi Chun: As long as it’s among Axun’s belongings, it shouldn’t be lost.
He was very sure of this. Firstly, Lou Xiu didn't know what he wanted, and secondly, Bai Qiru didn't know what Lou Xiu wanted either.
If Bai Qiru wanted to confirm whether the report was true, he would collect all of A Xun's belongings and hand them over to Lou Xiu without knowing what Lou Xiu wanted.
And this is one of the key reasons why he informed Bai Qiru.
Since the boss was sure, Wu Jinliang didn't care. The two of them then finalized the relevant details...
After daybreak, Shi Chun, who was tidying up in front of the hall, would occasionally look into the yard through the back door.
After finding that Fan Wuzhe had left the door, he stood at the door with his arms outstretched and his chest expanded. Then he leaned sideways behind the door and took out the mother-and-child talisman that was used to contact Mei You that he had searched from Fan Wuzhe. He was about to send a message directly to Mei You when he suddenly paused.
Thinking of the difference in status between Mei You and Fan Wuzhe, and that Fan Wuzhe was the weaker party, he gave up and instead took out the mother-and-child talisman corresponding to Fan Wuzhe's body and directly sent a message asking: What's wrong?
He immediately tilted his head and half-exposed one eye to observe Fan Wuzhe's reaction.
Sure enough, Fan Wuzhe, with his arms extended, was startled, quickly stopped, turned around and went back into the house to close the door.
Fan Wuzhe quickly took out the mother-and-child talisman in the house and looked at the content. He was about to reply when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He found that the secret code was missing in the message, so he immediately asked: Who are you?
Shi Chun cursed back: Damn, who are you?
Fan Wuzhe was shocked and doubtful, and didn't dare to say more. He just sent out a "mountain" shaped pattern for verification.
When Shi Chun saw this, he immediately picked up the talisman that he had found on Fan Wuzhe's body, marked it with a "mountain" pattern, attached a message "What's wrong" and sent it out.
Mei You, who had been making secret preparations on the city wall, noticed the news and quickly walked into the gate tower. He took out the mother-and-child talisman to check the message. After seeing the content, he directly scolded: Don't be so long-winded, I will inform you when there is any progress.
The accompanying code is also a "mountain" pattern, but the top of the mountain is tilted to the right.
So Shi Chun copied the code and sent it to Fan Wuzhe along with a message: "Are you sick? Don't you know to include a code when sending a message?" You scared me.
Fan Wuzhe, who was hiding in the house, was speechless after seeing this. He thought to himself, it was obviously you who forgot to send the signal first, and now you blame me.
Of course, there was nothing to defend myself, as I had no right to blame others. I could only accept it and responded honestly: Everything is normal here.
Shi Chun sent a message: Go out at the end of Chen time, and arrive at the east of the city gate at the beginning of Si time. There is a thin unicorn horse with a black cloth tied to its tail at the gate. Just ride it and leave the city. No one will stop you. Go fast and don't stop. I will give you the next news.
Fan Wuzhe stared at the message with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was asked to do. It seemed to have nothing to do with the planned actions, but he had no choice but to reply: OK. He left home at the end of Chenshi and arrived at the East Gate at the beginning of Sishi, looking for the thin unicorn with a black cloth tied to its tail.
Shi Chunhui: This boy is teachable.
