It is not an easy task to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.
In the entire fairy city, the city lord's mansion can be said to be the most closely guarded place. The map that Meng Lang got back was just a topographical map roughly found in his mind after capturing a guard of the city lord's mansion. As for the city lord The situation of the guards in the mansion and whether there is a warning formation are unknown.
But even so, this matter is imperative, because after all, this is their home field, and they must understand the situation as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.
Jiang Yan and Meng Lang took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.
The outer part of the city lord's mansion is the place where we are welcomed and sent, so the guards are a little more relaxed, and they can easily sneak in.
But Meng Lang frowned after seeing the surroundings, and said to Jiang Yan, "Something is not quite right."
Jiang Yan paused, stopped in his tracks, and hid in the dark with Meng Lang.
"what happened?"
"When I came here during the day, there were still more than a dozen guards guarding the periphery, but now..." Meng Lang hesitated.
Jiang Yan's eyes were fixed, there were only eight people now.
Although Jiang Yan can't use the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul Stage now, he can still use the consciousness of the Nascent Soul Stage, so he can't count how many people are outside the City Lord's Mansion. The formation is there, we still have to wait until we lurk in to find out.
"Since there is a problem, you need to be more careful." Jiang Yan hesitated, and finally took out a paper crane from his sleeve, and attached his consciousness to it: "Use this to try the inner palace."
Meng Lang was startled: "Isn't this the master's relic? This..."
"It's just a dead thing. The master has gone, so what's the use of putting this on me every day." Jiang Yan's face was condensed, and his tone was stiff.
Meng Lang sighed inwardly, but finally remained silent.
With a touch of Jiang Yan's fingertips, the paper crane was dyed black, and the next moment, the paper crane flapped its wings as if alive, and headed towards the inner palace of the city lord's mansion.
Jiang Yan concentrated his breath, feeling the aura around the paper crane.
Perhaps because it was so inconspicuous, the guards guarding the gate did not notice a paper crane crossing the wall and heading towards the inner city.
The look in Jiang Yan's eyes was dark and rolling, and he couldn't see clearly.
"How?" Meng Lang asked anxiously.
Jiang Yan closed his eyes, but the coldness on his face seemed to increase a bit: "There is indeed a problem." He whispered.
"What's going on?" Meng Lang was impatient, and he wished Jiang Yan could tell all at once.
Jiang Yan didn't blame him, and just said in a low voice: "The city lord's mansion should adopt the strategy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside. The inner city has five steps, one post, ten steps and one post, and there are countless formations to detect fluctuations in spiritual power. My The spiritual consciousness does not dare to cover it all year round, if there is a magic circle to detect the spiritual consciousness, I am afraid it will scare the snake."
"It's so tight, do they know we're coming back tonight?" Meng Lang also felt a little dizzy at this time.
Jiang Yan shook his head: "Probably not, these magic circles can't be set up overnight, and those guards can't be so organized overnight, I feel that this situation should have lasted for a long time Already, the City Lord's Mansion must be guarding against something."
As for what they were guarding against, whether it was Jiang Yan or Meng Lang, they all had a pretty good idea now.
Zhao Qiuchen disappeared, most likely because he was arrested, and the person who arrested him must not be an unknown person. Now the city lord's mansion looks so frightened. It goes without saying that it should be related to these grandchildren. The companion rescued and acted like this, I'm afraid they have already guessed that Zhao Qiuchen's background is unusual.
Meng Lang's face became even uglier: "Then shall we do it tonight?"
"If we make a move tonight, we will definitely startle the enemy. Then we will be more passive. I think we still need to find an opportunity to sneak into the city lord's mansion in the next few days, so that we can turn passive into active." Jiang Yan made a final decision.
He doesn't know what the newly appointed city lord means at all now. If he goes in rashly and leaves the two of them behind, it will be very bad. Not to mention Xuan Qingzong's reputation, he will be ashamed to be a man .
Although Meng Lang was anxious, he was aware of the general situation, so he naturally responded.
With a flick of his fingertips, Jiang Yan took back the paper crane that had entered the inner city, and then the two of them disappeared into the night again.
When he returned to the inn again, Lu Chen was walking back and forth in the room anxiously, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he was immediately surprised.
"Master, are you alright?" Lu Chen greeted him with an urgent tone.
Jiang Yan waved his hand: "I'm fine, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few more days at the City Lord's Mansion."
How could Lu Chen care about this, he replied casually, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yan.
This look was straightforward and eager, but it was a pity that the two people present were not in the mood to care about Lu Chen. Meng Lang frowned, looking in a bad mood.
"Peak Master, what do you think we should do? Brother Zhao is probably in the hands of these people."
Jiang Yan thought more than Meng Lang, and said: "Whether senior brother Zhao is in the city lord's mansion or not, we must investigate clearly. Tomorrow, you find a guard in the inner city, knock him out and sneak in, and find out who is in the inner city. We will make a decision on the guard situation.”
This is a risky move, but in this situation, there is nothing else to consider.
Meng Lang nodded: "Okay, I'll do it."
Jiang Yan frowned: "You find someone, I'll sneak in."
"Peak Lord!"
"Master!"
Two voices rang out in unison.
Jiang Yan looked at the worried Meng Lang and the ugly-looking Lu Chen, and waved his hands: "Needless to say, I have already made up my mind, and I still have confidence in my means."
It's not that Jiang Yan is a hero and insists on doing dangerous things. It's just that Meng Lang's city is not enough, and Zhao Qiuchen is involved. If he loses his mind, it will be a big deal. In terms of strength, no one is more suitable than him.
Meng Lang knew Jiang Yan's temperament best, and he wouldn't change it easily until he made up his mind, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, but just looked at him with a frown, showing disapproval on his face.
Naturally, Lu Chen didn't know Jiang Yan that well, and immediately said: "Master, I can do this kind of information gathering, let me do it!"
Jiang Yan shook his head very resolutely: "You are only a foundation cultivator, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to escape."
It's cultivation again!It's cultivation again!
Lu Chen felt extremely resentful, why was he so weak, he could only be protected by others, and he could only helplessly watch his master in danger!
Lu Chen lowered his head, clenched his fists, and clenched his teeth.
Jiang Yan didn't know what Lu Chen was thinking. Seeing him lower his head, he thought he had accepted his words, softened his tone, and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young, and you will always achieve something in the future."
Young, and still young, if he can't grow into a strong man who can stand beside him, is he still just a little apprentice in his heart?Lu Chen thought a little angrily.
Then he froze suddenly.
If you don't regard yourself as an apprentice, then what should you be?
Why... he would have such an idea.
Lu Chen was suddenly confused.
Jiang Yan didn't notice Lu Chen's sudden emotional change. He only thought that he had persuaded his little apprentice, and now he turned around and discussed with Meng Lang the specific things that needed to be done tomorrow.
Lu Chen stared at Jiang Yan's back in bewilderment. For a moment, he didn't dare to delve into his thoughts just now. In his heart, what kind of existence is Master?
Respectable teacher?
Elders who care about themselves very much?
Or...
Lu Chen only felt his heart beating wildly. He couldn't figure out his extremely complicated thoughts. He subconsciously wanted to escape. The master is the master, and he is a very important person to him. There is no doubt about it. As for Anything else is just a momentary delusion.

Meng Lang went out early the next morning and didn't come back until noon. When he came back, he took someone with him.
"I squatted around the city lord's mansion all day, and finally waited for an inner city guard to come out. They seem to rarely come out." Meng Lang looked unhappy.
Jiang Yan smiled: "It's understandable, after all, when it's time to save your life, you must be cautious."
"Let's search for the soul." Jiang Yan didn't have any compassion at this time, so he spoke directly.
Meng Lang was even more merciless, so he smiled and started to do it.
An hour later, he finally cleared up the memory of the guard named Zhang Tong. Jiang Yan wrote it down carefully, and then changed himself into Zhang Tong's appearance through the technique of disguise and transformation, and imitated Zhang Tong several times. Only then did he rush to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry.
This Zhang Tong came out this time because his mother was suddenly seriously ill, so he took two hours off. The time they were wasted was not short, and they went to Zhang Tong's house to heal his mother. If you don't go back, I'm afraid it will be bad.
Jiang Yan hurried and finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion within time.
Although the city lord's mansion went out, it was difficult to get in. Jiang Yan was questioned back and forth by three or four waves of people and searched with spiritual power. It took half an hour before he was let in.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan was proficient in the disguise technique, otherwise the change technique would be seen through, and I'm afraid he would be overturned today.
Jiang Yan entered the inner city and found that the atmosphere in the inner city was more tense than yesterday. The captain of their team couldn't help complaining when Jiang Yan came back.
"You will stay away. There is an emergency in the mansion today, and we have been busy all morning."
Jiang Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The captain curled his lips: "How can people like us know this kind of thing? I only heard that one of the prisoners in the mansion seemed to escape, but was later captured by the monks."
Jiang Yan only felt his heart beating wildly, could it be Zhao Qiuchen?
But the next moment Jiang Yan frowned again. Zhao Qiuchen is a person who makes decisions before acting. Even if he is caught, he will not be so impatient. He will make a lot of noise, which is in line with his personality.
As for the people last night, it was obvious that they did it in a hurry, and they didn't even break out of the inner city. It really didn't look like Zhao Qiuchen's behavior.
"I see. I really hope that this kind of thing won't happen in the future." Jiang Yan tentatively said.
The captain smiled: "The dungeons of the City Lord's Mansion are full of particularly powerful and cruel prisoners. The guards are tight, and how many people can escape. The one yesterday may be just a coincidence, so don't worry."
Jiang Yan's heart sank, and he suddenly had an idea.
