Chapter 247: Lu Gouze is so scheming, you call this righteousness
Chapter 247: Lu the dog thief is so scheming, you call this the right way?
There are no stars or moon tonight, and dark clouds are rolling over the city. The entire Purple Gold Mountain has been blocked by the Demon Suppression Bureau.
All the wild monsters in the mountains huddled in their nests and trembled. It was unheard of that the Demon Suppression Bureau came out in full force like this.
A streak of light shattered the space and silently escaped from the blockade of Purple Gold Mountain.
In the night sky, layers of dark clouds were turbulent, as if a huge hand broke through the clouds, forcibly tore a gap, and three figures broke through the air.
The moment Ji Mengli stepped out of the space channel, a bright light shone from her body, her disguise faded away, revealing her dusty true face.
Her black hair was flying, her charming face was full of coldness, with a hint of fatigue between her brows. Her black dress, as soft and delicate as water, fluttered in the night wind, and the abundant fruits hidden in her lapels emitted a bright light from the gaps.
She came barefoot on the wind, leaving behind the Purple Gold Mountain and the prosperous Jinling City, and landed in the mountains and forests hundreds of miles away from the Purple Gold Mountain.
So close to the end of the world!
The magic weapon that Ji Mengli just sacrificed was the most precious treasure of the Black Water Sect, named "A World Away".
Just by infusing enough true Qi into it, you can unleash the power of a world within reach, and teleport people hundreds of miles away silently.
This is also one of Ji Mengli's self-defense magic weapons.
As an elder of the Black Water Sect, Ji Mengli has always acted cautiously. If there is no safe way to retreat, she will never put herself in danger.
"Thank you for the rescue, Elder!" Blackwater No. 2 landed for a long time before coming back to its senses from its shock.
He had just made preparations to surrender, and he had even practiced it many times in his mind in order to appear sincere when surrendering and arouse the resonance of the Demon Suppression Bureau. He did not expect that the elder would take him away before leaving.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared hundreds of miles away from Purple Gold Mountain.
Ji Mengli stared at the forest hidden in the darkness, and said with her red lips: "This time the loss is heavy, and the Jinling Rudder is gone. If it weren't for the world's end, you two would never see the sun tomorrow again."
Lu Zhan didn't say anything. He hid in the black robe and black mask, looking at the surrounding scenery and determining his current location.
He was right. Given Ji Mengli's strength, she must have had a backup plan if she dared to take such a risk.
His "self-sacrificing" appearance just now successfully won Ji Mengli's trust, and the other party brought him out before escaping.
I just don't know if Ji Mengli has any other tricks besides "So Close, So Far Away".
If not, Lu Zhan could kill him now, but if he had other tricks up his sleeve, if he took action now, he would undoubtedly expose his identity, and the identity of "Number Three" would be completely ruined.
If exposing his identity could kill Ji Mengli, it would certainly be worth it.
But if your identity is exposed but you fail to keep the other person, then it would be a waste of time.
Lu Zhan thought for a moment, then bent down and asked, "Since Elder has such a treasure, why didn't he bring them out with him just now?"
"Chichi Tianya can't bear too many people." Ji Mengli stroked her magic weapon. Zhichi Tianya is indeed a treasure, but it is a single magic weapon. Bearing three people is already its limit.
I see… Lu Zhan acted touched and said, “Thank you for saving me, Elder. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if it means my death!”
Blackwater No. 2 sneered at Lu Zhan's words. Who wouldn't say such flattering words?
"What are the elders planning to do now?" Blackwater No. 2 forced himself into the conversation. He said, "We are still in Jinling at the moment. If the people from the Demon Suppression Division notice that you have escaped, they will definitely search for you. Now that the Jinling Rudder has been destroyed, the sect is isolated and helpless in Jinling. If you stay in Jinling any longer, it will not be safe."
Ji Mengli looked towards the direction of Jinling City, and seemed to see the prosperous and bustling city through the layers of mountains and forests. Her charming face was full of coldness, and her tone was fierce: "Even if the Demon Suppression Bureau arrived, I can leave safely. It's a pity that the Jinling Rudder that I worked so hard to develop was destroyed in one day!"
"The elder is mighty! Under the elder's leadership, I believe that Jinling Rudder will be rebuilt and develop even better!" Lu Zhan played the role of a qualified lackey, waving his arms and shouting praises, while making judgments in his heart.
He didn't think Ji Mengli was arrogant. Although he had not had much contact with the other party, he had used the black water beads to ask the other party to come to Jinling for a long time, and the other party was always weighing the pros and cons, which showed that he was cautious in his actions.
If she wasn't sure, she wouldn't speak so confidently.
In this case, Lu Zhan did not waste his time and decided to retain the identity of "number three".
After lurking in the Black Water Sect for so long, "Number Three" must not be easily exposed without absolute "benefits".
"You two performed very well today. I saw your loyalty, especially Zhi Gang." Ji Mengli looked at Lu Zhan: "From today on, you are the deputy leader of the Black Water Sect in Bianjing."
As she spoke, she opened her palm, on which was a domino, which was the identity symbol of the Black Water Sect.
"I am afraid that my abilities are limited and I will fail to live up to the cultivation of the elders!" Lu Zhan has several duties and feels very stressed.
Even the donkeys in the production team didn't do that.
Ji Mengli said calmly, "The affairs of the Bianjing helm will be handled by the chief helmsman. Your biggest task is to help me keep an eye on Lu Ba. I give you the title of deputy helmsman just to make things easier for you. Lu Ba will be going to Beijing to take up his post soon. He is a man of great skill but with a keen eye. You must always be vigilant. If he makes any unusual moves, inform me immediately. If he remains loyal, you will be his liaison with the headquarters."
Although there were no outsiders here, Ji Mengli still did not call Lu Zhan by his real name. She wanted to develop a good habit to avoid unnecessary trouble by calling him by the wrong name in the future.
Lu Zhan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was shocked by this task.
I monitor myself?
I can't do it.
Seeing that Lu Zhan remained silent, Ji Mengli continued, "I know this mission is very dangerous, but Lu Ba is not as difficult to deal with as you think. As long as you act carefully, he will never find you."
"Of course, you have the right to mobilize the Bian Jing Rudder. If you are unfortunately discovered by Lu Ba, you can mobilize the Bian Jing Rudder at any time to save your life."
"When you complete this mission, you will be the official leader of Bianjing!"
Ji Mengli reluctantly painted a rosy picture for her subordinates. She was too lazy to do such a thing before.
But now is the time to employ people, and promising the subordinates is an important means to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Lu Zhan knew that if he continued to hesitate, he would be in trouble, so he took the dominoes with both hands and said confidently: "Thank you for your cultivation, Elder! I will do my best to keep a close eye on Lu Ba."
Seeing Lu Zhan so confident, Ji Mengli had a trace of compassion in her eyes. 'Zhi Gang' had no idea what he was about to face. Bian Jing was very different from Jinling. For the Black Water Sect, Bian Jing was like a den of dragons and tigers.
Monitoring Lu Zhan, that extremely rebellious bastard, is like walking on a tightrope.
But she certainly couldn't tell Zhigang these words. What she wanted was a subordinate like Zhigang who was emotionally motivated and willing to make sacrifices.
Thinking of this, Ji Mengli took out another porcelain bottle and handed it to Lu Zhan: "There is a Heart-to-Heart Gu in it. Although it has no harmful power, it can connect the fate of two people. When necessary, you can use it on Lu Zhan. At that time, Lu Zhan will share the same fate with you. If you are injured, he will also be attacked. In this way, he will not dare to hurt you easily. However, Lu Zhan is a night doctor and is very vigilant. If you really use it on him, you must pay attention to safety."
"I understand!" Lu Zhan took it. He didn't expect Ji Mengli to come up with such an idea.
The Tongxin Gu is obviously used between lovers, but using it between two men... Although it is strange, it is very useful!
I didn't expect this. It seems that my methods need to be strengthened... Lu Zhan reflected on himself silently.
"Elder, what about me?" Blackwater No. 2 seized the opportunity and joined the conversation again.
He was still feeling happy about being promoted to the leader of Jinling yesterday, but he didn't expect that Jinling would be destroyed in the blink of an eye... Blackwater No. 2 felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.
Ji Mengli glanced at him and said, "You continue to lurk in Jinling, and wait for the right opportunity to strengthen Jinling Rudder!"
After saying that, Ji Mengli activated Zhichi Tianya again and disappeared in front of him.
Blackwater No. 2's eyelids jumped, and he was stunned for a long time. It was not until the faint fragrance left by Ji Mengli dissipated that he reacted: "Did I hear it right? The elder actually asked me to lurk in Jinling? And to strengthen the Jinling rudder?"
"It's okay, come on." Lu Zhan encouraged his companions: "You can do it."
Blackwater No. 2’s face turned pale, what the hell!
What good can a hollow general gain in Nanjing? If I had known this, I might as well have gone to the northwest to dig coal!
Blackwater No. 2 was very angry. He suddenly looked up at his companion and said, "Zhi Gang, long time no see. How have you been recently?"
"I'm fine. How about you?" There were only him and No. 2 left here. Lu Zhan was not afraid of being exposed now and greeted him.
"You disappeared for so long, and suddenly returned to Jinling, and stood up to protect the elders at the critical moment. When did you become so brave?" Blackwater No. 2 narrowed his eyes, his brain working rapidly.
Lu Zhan showed a surprised expression: "What do you mean?"
"Are you the undercover agent? I kept feeling that your voice was not right. You are the undercover, right?! You knew nothing would happen to you, so you dared to jump out to protect the elder?!" Blackwater No. 2 was of course talking nonsense. If he really had this suspicion, he would have said it in front of the elder just now.
He's just jealous!
He had just been the helmsman for two days when the Jinling helm was destroyed. Although he was called the helmsman now, he was actually nothing. He even had to lurk alone in Jinling, which was too dangerous.
On the other hand, Zhi Gang suddenly reached the peak of his life without any fanfare and was actually being transferred to Bian Jing.
What is Bianjing? It is a luxurious place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and it is the economic center of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Blackwater-2 suddenly wanted to carry forward the tradition of 'backstabbing companions'.
As long as Zhi Gang died, he would find a suitable excuse to get rid of the suspicion, and then volunteer to go to Bian Jing from the chief leader to the deputy leader. The elders would definitely agree as they had no other more suitable candidates.
Bianjing is prosperous and wealthy, much better than the empty shell of Nanjing!
As for the "voice", it was just an excuse. He hadn't spoken to Zhi Gang for a long time and was not familiar with Zhi Gang's voice. Moreover, Zhi Gang was obsessed with refining pills and was exposed to smoke every day, so it was normal for him to have a smoke-like voice.
Blackwater No. 2 is ready. No matter how Zhi Gang argues, he must kill him!
Unexpectedly, Zhi Gang suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then prepare to die!"
Blackwater II: ""
Wait, what do you mean?
Is this guy really a traitor?
Blackwater No. 2 felt that his brain was not enough, but there was no time to think, the battle was about to break out!
……
Blackwater II died peacefully.
Lu Zhan originally wanted to kill Blackwater No. 2. Since he was not sure of keeping Ji Mengli, killing No. 2 would be a gain.
Unexpectedly, No. 2 suddenly swore at him and accused him of being a traitor. How could Lu Zhan tolerate this? He rolled up his sleeves and taught him a lesson.
Blackwater No. 2 was full of confidence, thinking that he was at a high enough level to deal with "Zhi Gang".
Unexpectedly, as soon as 'Zhi Gang' made a move, No. 2 was terrified.
———Fuck, Lu Zhan!
Lu Zhan did not hide his martial arts skills, and the familiar aura made No. 2 stunned.
Number Two felt his brain was in a mess.
He originally wanted to backstab his companion to get promoted, but he accidentally discovered that his companion was actually a "traitor". Just when he was about to clean up the mess, he found out that the "traitor" was actually Lu Zhan!
Blackwater No. 2's brain short-circuited and countless question marks arose in his heart. He couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he was completely finished.
