Battlefield of the Heavens: Lady Luck is Smiling

Chapter 264 Picking the Magic Gathering Grass

Jiang Hao was wondering why the other party was suddenly not afraid, he only heard the other party cough lightly and said, "Since you are from the City Guard, do you know who I am?"

After glancing at the other party with his insightful eyes, Jiang Hao said the other party's name: "Xiye?"

The demon Xi Ye immediately raised his chin, and snorted coldly, "You really know me!"

But immediately after, he straightened his chest, glared at Jiang Hao and said, "Then you should know who I am, right? Who gave you the courage to treat me like this?!"

Jiang Hao couldn't help rolling his eyes. He could feel that the other party's identity must have something to say, but he was not You Zhu himself. How could he know the specific relationship between the characters and their identity background?

He only knew that the opponent's strength was at the level of an ordinary demon, so that first ruled out the masters in Heishui City.

Since the other party can put on such a posture in front of him, there is a high probability that there is something to rely on.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao nodded and said: "Then tell me, what is your identity? By the way, speak faster, I'm in a hurry."

"How dare you dare"

Before the other party could finish saying a word, Jiang Hao raised his head and slapped the demon Xi Ye on the head, his eyes revealed murderous intent: "If you tell me what you want to say, you can say it, and if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you right now?!"

With this slap, the demon Xi Ye immediately put away his arrogance. The reason why he put on that posture just now was actually a lot of gambling.

Xi Ye is not a fool, since the city guards came to him, there is a high probability that they don't care about his identity, so he just took a chance to toughen up for a second.

Since the other party doesn't buy it, he should admit it or have to admit it.

After stroking his head, the demon Xi Ye said in a low voice, "Didn't the envoy behind you tell you my identity? Do I need to say it myself?"

With a sound of 'clang', Jiang Hao flicked the curved sickle belonging to You Zhu in his hand, and the blade rested directly on Xi Ye's neck.

"Don't, don't, I say, I say!" Xi Ye raised his hand to block it, and quickly said: "I am the second head of the Xi family, the third richest Xi family in the inner city!"

Jiang Hao's face remained unchanged, he tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If you can talk, talk a little more. As for what to say, you know it in your heart!"

In fact, Jiang Hao himself didn't know what to ask. At present, he already knew the most basic information he wanted to know. Since he wanted to pretend to be the other party later, he had to know the other party's name and identity.

But other than that, he didn't know where to start asking for a while. After all, he was in a hurry, so he simply threw the question to the other party. When his life was threatened, the other party would definitely make up his own mind. Pick as much information as possible.

Sure enough, this time Xi Ye very consciously began to talk about what he thought was the most important thing.

The Xi family, where the demon Xi Ye belongs, is a loyal supporter of Gude. Although the Xi family is the third largest chaebol in the inner city on the surface, it is much inferior to the other two big chaebols in Heishui City.

Therefore, after discussions within the Xi family, it was decided to take advantage of the unstable position of the city lord that Gude was facing, and take the initiative to stand up to safeguard Gude's status and interests.

Just now, Xiye was also assigned by the family to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss with Gude. The general meaning is that whenever Gude needs anything, the Xi family will do their best to assist him.

The Xi family was undoubtedly the first to express their stance to Gude, but they did not support Gude without thinking.

Although there are many powerful demons in Heishui City coveting Gude's position as the city lord, the fact that Gude has a younger brother who is also the city lord is worth the risk for the Xi family.

However, the two families ahead of the Xi family in terms of financial resources each had greater ambitions. Taking advantage of Gude's injury and his strength plummeting, the two families were looking for suitable demons to compete for the position of the city lord of Blackwater City.

Through Xi Ye's narration, Jiang Hao understood the general situation in Heishui City, as well as the current situation Gude was facing.

According to Jiang Hao's own analysis and Xi Ye's description, although Gude was a little panicked at this time, he was not completely panicked.

As long as his brother Gula arrives in Blackwater City in time, the matter can be temporarily stabilized.

And when several other demon generals came to Heishui City, Gude could further win over the relationship with those demon generals through the resources provided by the Xi family and other chaebol families.

Coupled with Gude's original foundation in Heishui City, it is not difficult to keep his current position.

After getting this information, Jiang Hao started to think a little more. Perhaps his sneaking into Blackwater City could not only save the lives of hundreds of Dragon Clan disciples, but as long as he did it properly, it would not be difficult to get additional surprises.

After clearing his mind, Jiang Hao hurriedly got back to the topic. He looked at Xi Ye and asked, "Tell me where the magic-gathering grass is? Also, where is the city lord's mansion?"

Hearing this, Xi Ye looked at Jiang Hao in surprise.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Which side is behind you? Why don't you even know these? Also, what is your purpose for asking these two questions?"

Xi Ye said more and more doubts in his heart, and at the same time looked at Jiang Hao with more vigilance.

Originally, he thought that the person in front of him was someone from several other forces that wanted to compete for the position of city lord, but after talking with the other party, he felt more and more wrong.

Is this person interfering with my thinking, or am I thinking about the other party's identity wrongly?

And Jiang Hao felt that there was no need to follow the demon Xi Ye's mouth anymore. At this time, there were only two issues that he was most concerned about. After seeing the demon Xi Ye and his ink marks, he immediately threw the blade at his neck. Pressed the button: "Stop talking nonsense, just answer my questions, and leave the rest alone."

Xi Ye started to panic again now, he felt that what he knew about the other party just now was all wrong news, but the question asked by the other party faintly made him a little uneasy.

Is life or news more important?These are the two choices that Xiye is struggling with the most at this time.

At the same time, he had a faint feeling that even if he told these two 'well-known' news, the guy opposite would not spare his life.

If you really die if you say it, then you might as well procrastinate a little longer to see if things turn around!

Jiang Hao saw the struggling expression on his face, and immediately said expressionlessly: "Last chance, if you say it, I can just knock you out, after all, what I have to do doesn't take too long , can be done before you wake up. But if you don't say it."

As he said that, the curved sickle in his hand had scratched Xi Ye's skin: "If you don't say anything, I don't mind killing you now, and then go ask the next person!"

"Say, I say!"

Xi Ye was scared, but at the same time he was relieved. The other party spoke seriously, not as if he was lying to him.

Instead of angering the other party, it's better to speak out to save a lifeline. Didn't the other party say it, but it was just knocked out. As for what will happen later, wait until you wake up and take another step to see.

Then, Xi Ye explained to Jiang Hao the locations of the Demon Gathering Grass and the City Lord's Mansion very quickly. In order to prevent Jiang Hao from being confused, he also gestured for the general orientation and easily identifiable landmarks with his hands.

After Xi Ye finished speaking, Jiang Hao nodded with satisfaction. It is really convenient to have a local guide to help guide the way, which can save him a lot of searching time.

The way he nodded fell into the eyes of the devil Xi Ye, which naturally made the other party feel more relieved, and his anxiety was also reduced.

"Okay, I know everything I need to know, and you don't have any other useful news, so go to bed first."

Jiang Hao drew his sword with his right palm, and quickly slashed at the neck of the demon Xi Ye.

Seeing that Jiang Hao's actions really looked like he was knocked out, Demon Xi Ye not only didn't even have the thought of resisting, he even closed his eyes and stretched his neck.

'Crack! '

An unrecognizable crisp sound rang in the ear, and then the limp body of the demon Xi Ye fell down.

Jiang Hao shrugged, and said to himself: "Sorry, the strength of the shot is a bit heavier, you shouldn't blame me, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the outline of his face changed, and it became Xi Ye's face.

After quickly stripping off Xi Ye's clothes and changing them on, he temporarily put the demon Xi Ye's body into the Qiankun Ring, so that the aftermath work would be over, and no one would know that the real Xi Ye had been killed. kill.

Based on his previous observations and Xi Ye's description just now, Jiang Hao was quite sure that the magic-gathering grass was in the building area one kilometer ahead.

The next moment, the figure of 'Xi Ye' disappeared in an instant, and it was as if nothing had happened in the empty dark alley.

With Xi Ye's identity as a cover, and the ability of shadow stealth being used all the time, Jiang Hao's worried heart gradually calmed down. Judging from the current situation, before those sect disciples were completely demonized, he would be You can get the Gathering Magic Grass.

One thing is very good for him now, as he goes deeper into Heishui City, he encounters fewer and fewer demons on the road, which also makes him move a lot faster, and he doesn't need to spend more energy on defense Found traces by the devil.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Hao stopped.

At the same time, he took a deep breath while looking ahead. If he saw correctly, what appeared in front of his field of vision was the magic-gathering grass he was looking for on this trip.

The leaves are deeply black, without any other color, and a layer of black mist is shrouded around each magic-gathering grass.

Although he saw the goal of this trip, Jiang Hao didn't move.

Because the magic-gathering grass in front is surrounding the city lord's mansion in a regular ring shape, as if a black trap has been put around the city lord's mansion.

Not only that, those magic-gathering plants were planted in the same ring-shaped flower bed, and in front of the flower bed, there was a demon guard standing every few meters away, which seemed to be specially guarding the magic-gathering plants.

Jiang Hao couldn't help being a little puzzled by this scene, so he hastened to observe a few more times.

After a while, Jiang Hao finally discovered that whenever the black mist surrounding the magic-gathering grass became thicker to a certain extent, the black mist would gather at the top of the building of the City Lord's Mansion, and then fall into the City Lord's Mansion through a beam of light.

From this point of view, the picking of the magic gathering grass should be as careful as possible.

After figuring this out, Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to pick the magic-gathering grass, but scanned around the entire City Lord's Mansion.

Except for the main entrance of the city lord's mansion and a small path on the side where no magic-gathering grass was planted, so there were no demon guards guarding it, there were demon guards standing every few meters in other places, which seemed to be watertight.

However, after looking around, Jiang Hao realized that there is still a chance to get the magic-gathering grass without being discovered, because the position of those demon guards is still two meters away from the flower bed.

If he can sneak into the base of the wall of the city lord's mansion, and then stick to the wall to pick the magic-gathering grass, then his shadow stealth will not be seen through by those demon guards, and he can get the magic-gathering grass without disturbing anyone at all. .

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao planned to take action. It was around two o'clock in the afternoon. After harvesting the magic gathering grass, he had enough time to refine it into a solid god pill to rescue the disciples of the sect.

The method of sticking it to the base of the wall of the City Lord's Mansion is actually very simple, you only need to go straight from the gate to the door.

Perhaps it was because there were already demon guards around, but there was not a single demon guard at the main entrance of the city lord's mansion, only some demons who came in and out occasionally passed by.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Hao calmly walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion after a demon came out from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

This section of the road was very safe, and there were no accidents until he reached the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

But just when he was about to stick to the base of the wall, Jiang Hao accidentally glanced into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and this glance actually caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.

This man was tall and straight, standing in front of the hall and walking back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.

But Jiang Hao paid attention to the man's left arm, because it was empty there, and the culprit for this appearance was himself.

Jiang Hao couldn't help feeling happy, the person in the hall was none other than the demon general Gude whose arm was cut off by him.

During the conversation with Xi Ye before, he thought of some follow-up plans, and the demon general Gude in front of him was the key role in these plans.

However, this is not the time to implement the follow-up plan, and the most important thing is to pick the magic-gathering grass first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao moved towards the base of the wall on the left.

After moving almost ten meters away, and distanced himself from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion where the devil might be passing by, Jiang Hao stopped.

At this time, one meter away from him was a flower bed planted with magic-gathering grass, and the width of the flower bed was about three meters, and the other side of the flower bed was also two meters away from the demon guard in front.

In other words, the distance from where Jiang Hao is standing to the demon guard in front is at least six meters away, which is a safe position that will not be noticed by the other party, but if he wants to pick the magic gathering grass from this position If you are not careful, you may expose your tracks.

After realizing this, Jiang Hao continued to move a distance of three or four meters to the side.

This is almost the same distance as the two demon guards standing in front left and right. Going forward from here can ensure that he will not be noticed by the demon guards while picking some magic gathering grass along a straight line.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao took a decisive step towards the flower bed.
