Poyang City, in the dark night.

Jin Liancheng returned to a house in Nancheng with a pack of medicinal herbs. Xuanwu saw him and asked, "Why have you been there for so long this time?"

Jin Liancheng said: "I found two more pharmacies to find them all."

Xuanwu looked at a certain direction behind Jin Liancheng, and felt that the subordinates he sent were also back, and there was no special situation, so he closed his eyes again.

Three more days later, Xiao Xinghan never appeared.

"Your mission failed." Xuanwu looked at Jin Liancheng and said coldly, "Follow me to go back to see the Lord and receive the punishment."

"Senior Xuanwu, can you give me some more time..." Jin Liancheng's expression was ugly.

"No!" Xuanwu snorted coldly, "You proposed this plan. At that time, you said that Xiao Xinghan would appear, but he didn't come at all. Time can no longer be delayed, and I will not plead for you in front of the Lord."

When Jin Liancheng heard this, he looked a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything else. He followed Xuanwu and left the house. Ming Xinyao, who was originally going to be used as bait in the next room, but was useless at all. At this time, he was still unconscious and was picked up by Xuanwu's subordinates and walked with him.

Back to the villa of the Banshan Mountain in Poyang City, after passing through several formations in the middle, and passing through a very long bamboo forest, Jinliancheng once again saw the old tree covered with human bones and wind chimes, and the pavilion with gauze curtains hanging.

Jin Liancheng knelt down facing the pavilion, Xuanwu's subordinates threw Ming Xinyao beside Jin Liancheng, and then silently retreated behind Xuanwu and stood like a shadow.

"Master, my subordinates are incompetent. This time I didn't wait for Xiao Xinghan to appear." Jin Liancheng knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and his voice was filled with uneasiness.

"Qinglong, you were very sure that you said it at that time. Now that you have failed, what else can you say?" The gentle voice of the previous one came from the pavilion again.

"Please give me another chance!" Jin Liancheng said respectfully, "Next time, I will definitely not let the Lord down."

"Next time, that's next time, this time, I'll be punished."

As the people in the pavilion finished speaking, the gauze curtain swayed slightly, and a green jade teacup flew out from it and landed steadily on the ground in front of Jinliancheng. The things in the cup were different from last time, and they were green liquid.

"This is Xiaoyao Water, I drank it."

Jin Liancheng's eyes were slightly dark, he picked up the teacup, raised it above his head, and said respectfully: "Qinglong received punishment." After the words came, he raised his head and drank it all.

The next moment, Jin Liancheng let out a cry of pain, fell to the ground, covered his heart, and felt the pain similar to the Heart-Devouring Gu again, spreading throughout his limbs, making him worse than death.

Jin Liancheng was struggling on the ground, and Xuanwu was watching coldly. A sound of piano came from the pavilion, not a sound attack, but a very pleasant song.

The torture lasted for half an hour before finally subsided. Jin Liancheng's whole body seemed to be blistered, his face turned pale, his expression was dull, and he lay on the ground trembling slightly, as if he had no sense of consciousness.

The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the person in the pavilion asked: "Qinglong, how do you think my master's piano is playing?"

Jin Liancheng opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "The Lord, this song should only be in the sky..."

"Haha, Qinglong, you are really an interesting person. This punishment is over here. I hope you will learn from it. Next time, it will be more than just Xiaoyao Shui."

"Yes, Lord, my subordinates will remember it in my heart and will never make mistakes next time." Jin Liancheng got up, knelt down at the pavilion, and said respectfully.

"Then do you think Xiao Xinghan has left Poyang City?"

"I think he is still in Poyang City." Jin Liancheng said respectfully, "but he has been hiding and has not appeared yet, he will not leave like this."

"Well, I think so too. Since that's the case, your plan to lure the enemy set up by the White Tiger has failed. What strategy will you have next?"

Jin Liancheng thought for a moment and said, "Return to the Lord's words, I actually have a guess. Xiao Xinghan is cunning and suspicious. He may have discovered the trap set by his subordinates before, so he did not show up and jumped in. The subordinates felt that there was a possibility that Xiao Xinghan had discovered that Ming Xinyao had changed his place and thus set his sights on this place."

"You mean, now, this place is exposed? And you knew it would be like this?"

Jin Liancheng sighed: "Lord forgives the sins. I am just telling the truth and dare not hide it. The Lord has set time for my subordinates, and I dare not not come back, otherwise things will continue to be stalemate. In fact, I believe that the plan to lure the enemy is not over yet, and it has just begun now. Next, as long as Ming Xinyao is here, Xiao Xinghan will definitely appear! With the Lord here, he will definitely come and go!"

"Qinglong, why didn't you say this at the beginning, but only after receiving Xiaoyao Shui's punishment?"

"When I say to the Lord, my subordinates said before that Xiao Xinghan will definitely be led out by my subordinates. My subordinates have indeed failed in this matter and should be punished." Jin Liancheng said respectfully.

"If Xiao Xinghan had discovered this place, what would you think he would do?"

"The subordinates think that he will lurk in secret and wait for an opportunity to approach the Lord." Jin Liancheng said.

“How to deal with it?”

"There are many formations here, and I have a suggestion that I can use the empty city strategy." Jin Liancheng said respectfully.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"For the first time, Xiao Xinghan saw through the trap set by his subordinates, so he did not show up. This time, after Xiao Xinghan discovered this place, there was no reason to suspect that the Lord was not here, so he would definitely take action. The subordinates believed that this place could be regarded as the second place to lure the enemy. In order not to disturb the Lord, the Lord could leave for the time being and turn this place into the second trap! If the Lord can trust his subordinates, please give him another chance. This time, the subordinates will definitely not disappoint the Lord again!" Jin Liancheng said.

"You are very smart and brave. But this time, I plan to meet Xiao Xinghan in person, but for your positive attitude, I will give you another chance. This place will be deployed and arranged next. If you can catch Xiao Xinghan, you will be responsible for your credit."

"Thank you, Lord!" Jin Liancheng's voice was filled with joy.

"Xuanwu, take Qinglong to familiarize himself with the environment here, and then assist from the side."

"Yes, Lord." Xuanwu said respectfully.

The people in the pavilion lost their traces again, and Jin Liancheng, who got a second chance through bitter meat schemes and loyalty, was led by Xuanwu to introduce to him how to solve the formations everywhere in this villa, and how many masters were hidden in the dark.

After a while, except for the place where the Lord lived, Jin Liancheng had already learned about other places. Xuanwu took Jin Liancheng to a yard and told him that it was his residence.

"Thank you, Senior Xuanwu." Jin Liancheng bowed slightly and thanked Xuanwu.

"This is your guardian token, which can dispatch the masters you just met." Xuanwu took out a black iron token and handed it to Jin Liancheng. The token was engraved with a hideous dragon head, and the word "天" was engraved on the back.

Jin Liancheng received the token and heard Xuanwu say, "I live next door, you can go find me at any time."

Jin Liancheng thanked him again. Xuanwu glanced at the entourage who was following him like a shadow and said, "This is my shadow guard. I will lend it to you for the time being. If you have anything, you can send him. If you meet someone suitable in the future, you will also have your own shadow guard. He is a mute, only doing things and not talking."

"Thank you for your care from Senior Xuanwu, I will definitely repay you in the future." Jin Liancheng said with gratitude.

"This time, if you fail again, you may not be able to bear the consequences!" Xuanwu left after he finished speaking.

Jin Liancheng took a look at the room where he was. The rest of the room was normal, but there were three strings of wind chimes hanging on the roof, which were still made of human bones, and looked a bit cunning.

"Mummy, what do you think about this place?" Jin Liancheng lowered his voice and looked at the black-robed shadow guard standing not far away.

This is Xiao Xinghan. The reason he killed Xuanwu's Shadow Gu in the medicine shop last night was because he was sure that the puppet Gu was useless to him, and his tongue was cut and he couldn't speak. It was much easier for Xiao Xinghan to disguise this way. He disguised himself as that man, put on the man's clothes, put on the man's mask, and put on the black robe, and there was no flaw in it.

When Xuanwu took Jinliancheng to visit this place just now, as a shadow-like existence around Xuanwu, Xiao Xinghan also visited the villa throughout the journey, and he had already understood the formations and mechanisms here, as well as the deployment of the masters.

Xiao Xinghan and Jin Liancheng just decided to cooperate last night, but Xiao Xinghan forced Jin Liancheng. Jin Liancheng originally wanted to leave, but he couldn't leave. But they didn't have time to discuss how to cooperate next, and they didn't understand the situation here, so there was nothing to discuss.

So, from the time Jin Liancheng returned to this villa, everything that happened, the bitter plan and the loyalty were all done by Jin Liancheng himself, and Xiao Xinghan just stood by and listened.

Now that he heard Jinlian Urban Manager call him mute, Xiao Xinghan called him two words: "Cancer."

Jin Liancheng snorted coldly: "Will you be afraid that I will stab you in the back when working with me?"

Xiao Xinghan sat down opposite Jinliancheng, but did not take off the mask on his face. He said calmly: "Now you are in the open and I am in the dark. It is more appropriate for me to do the stabbing."

Jin Liancheng's expression froze: "Damn it! He actually became a grasshopper on the same rope as you! I still have to play a trick to help you!"

"I think that after experiencing the Heart-Devouring Gu, that little bit of Xiaoyao Water is nothing to you. You should have strong endurance for pain now, so you don't have to thank you." Xiao Xinghan said.

"I have recorded this account! When I leave here, I will be free and I will calculate it slowly with you in the future!" Jin Liancheng said coldly, "What do you want to do now? Explain it clearly!"

"Since he asked you to deploy, next, you will re-arrange this place." A dark light flashed in Xiao Xinghan's eyes, "I will tell you what to do."

According to Xiao Xinghan's instructions, Jin Liancheng made a big adjustment to the distribution of the masters in the other courtyard, but the formations did not move because he shouldn't have understood the formations.

Jin Liancheng reported to Xuanwu about the arrangement he made. Xuanwu was still very satisfied with Jin Liancheng's attitude, and then went to report to the Lord.

When Xuanwu saw Jin Liancheng again, he told Jin Liancheng that the Lord had no objection to his arrangements, but this time he was given only three days. If Xiao Xinghan did not come, or Xiao Xinghan did not stay, even if Jin Liancheng's mission failed.

"Don't worry, Senior Xuanwu, I believe Xiao Xinghan will definitely come within three days!" Jin Liancheng said seriously, "This time, I will definitely not disappoint the Lord again!"

The next day, late at night, the cool breeze blew, and the other courtyard was quiet.

The sudden sound of swords and swords fighting each other was very clear in this dark night. Jin Liancheng and Xuanwu, who heard the movement, quickly rushed out and found that there were fighting sounds everywhere.

"What's going on?" Xuanwu's expression changed drastically.

"Senior Xuanwu, let's go and take a look." Jin Liancheng finished speaking, pointed in one direction and went there. Xuanwu walked in the opposite direction, but he didn't notice that his shadow guard did not appear. Even if he noticed, Jin Liancheng would say that he had sent him out to do business.

Soon, Xuanwu discovered that there was no foreign invasion at all, and his own people were killing each other, and it was very likely that he had been poisoned.

In the deepest part of the villa, the wind chimes on the old tree were still rustling, which seemed very cunning in this dark night.

There were lights in the pavilion, and two figures came out.

"Lord, it seems that Xiao Xinghan took action." It was the voice of a woman.

"Xuanyuan Ye's grandson, don't let me down... The human skin mask I made with Xuanyuan Ye's face is too old, I have long wanted to change it to a new one. Haha, I like that face and can't wait to see him..."
