I'm the villain in the book

Page 300

His reaction was genuine.

"Young Master Du, but I don't know what Young Master Wei is going to do?"

"Is this..."

Du Chang knew that this was the reason why Yan Luo showed up, and he also understood that this was also his best chance to hold him back.

So he can neither say the way that does not exist, but he can't say nothing.

This is the only way to delay as long as possible.

"Hey, Mr. Guan, I shouldn't say more about this matter, but it doesn't hurt to talk to you..."

Under Guan Jingzhong's watchful eyes, Du Chang whispered: "I just hope that my lord will never tell this matter, otherwise if the matter of the young master is ruined, then you and I will become eternal sinners."

"Don't worry, Mr. Du, I'm just curious, and I know how to measure it."

Guan Jingzhong leaned forward to get closer, and his pretended breathing also became rapid.

But he didn't wait for the answer he wanted, but...

"Master Guan, I said yes..."

Du Chang waved his hand suddenly, closed the window with a gust of palm, and then whispered mysteriously, "But can my lord do me a little favor?"

"Oh?"

Guan Jingzhong narrowed his eyes: "Young Master Du, it's okay to say."

"it is good."

Du Chang cupped his hands lightly: "My lord, to be honest, I am actually a great servant, and the reason why I work under Mr. Wei is because I have to."

"If possible, please give me a chance to speak kindly for me in front of the emperor. It would be best for the emperor to intercede with Mr. Wei and let me stay in Fengyuan."

"That's the matter, I wonder if Mr. Guan is willing to help?"

"..."

He was originally a great servant, and he was forced to do things for Wei Changtian.

He wanted to exchange information about Yan Luo for a chance to get rid of Wei Changtian.

Du Chang's rhetoric not only delayed the time, but also "explained" why he was willing to sell such important "information".

For a while, Bai Youheng, who didn't know Du Chang's real background, really no longer doubted, and quickly replied:

"Hahaha, what am I supposed to be."

"It's easy to say, Mr. Du, just rest assured!"

"In that case, thank you Master Guan!"

With a happy expression on his face, Du Chang drank another sip of tea, and then slowly said back to the "topic".

"My lord, about how to search for Yan Luo's traces... Cough, it's actually not complicated, because Mr. Wei has a treasure."

"treasure?"

Guan Jingzhong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately asked, "Why didn't you use such a treasure before?"

"That's because there are many restrictions on the use of this treasure."

Du Chang continued to make up nonsense: "This is what we have been preparing for in the past few days. Now that everything is ready, there is only one east wind."

Only one wind from the east...

"I don't know what this east wind is?"

Guan Jingzhong immediately asked back, and then added: "Maybe I can help."

"My lord, please worry, but Mr. Wei has his own plans for this matter..."

Du often needs time to think about an answer without flaws, so naturally he has to use these "nonsense" to procrastinate for a while.

And it was this pause of less than two breaths that made Guan Jingzhong, or rather Bai Youheng, feel something was wrong.

"Hahaha, it's fine if Mr. Du doesn't want to say it."

Uncharacteristically, Guan Jingzhong suddenly gave up exploring the truth, but stood up directly: "It just happened that I suddenly remembered something that needs to be dealt with."

"Feel sorry."

"..."

We had a good chat, but Yan Luo suddenly wanted to leave.

Now that Wei Changtian and the others hadn't arrived yet, Du Chang was naturally anxious, and couldn't control his expression for a moment.

In the confrontation between masters, winning or losing is only a hair's breadth away.

This momentary mistake was naturally noticed by Bai Youheng who was deliberately probing.

"Master Du, take your leave."

After saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the door.

At this time, Bai Youheng was still not 100% sure that Du Chang already knew his identity, so he still stayed on the line and didn't completely run away.

But for Du Chang, he understood that Yan Luo had 100% realized that something was wrong.

"Master Guan, stop!"

With a loud shout, Du Chang didn't hesitate when he saw that the other party didn't stop, and immediately activated plan B specially designated for this situation.

"boom!"

The bright red fire shot out of the wooden window, and immediately exploded in the air.

Although it was daytime, the dazzling red glow was still obvious.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Fengyuan City fell into chaos.

Chapter 347 Qin Zhengqiu's Choice

The moment the Linghuo bloomed in the air, it meant that both parties were very aware of their situation.

For Bai Youheng, the espionage failed and his identity was exposed, so he needs to escape by all means.

As for Du Chang, since it was impossible to keep Yan Luo, he absolutely couldn't keep Yan Luo behind.

At least before Wei Changtian and the others arrive, he must always grasp Yan Luo's position.

Of course, Yan Luo could walk through walls at extremely fast speeds, and he definitely couldn't do this by himself.

But fortunately, there is a whole gang behind him, and even all the violent institutions in Fengyuan City.

"Make the fire!!"

"Quick! Yan Luo has appeared!!"

"Shhhhhhhh!!"

In an instant, a "circle of encirclement" covering the entire Fengyuan City suddenly appeared, centered on the watchman's yamen, ranging from dense to sparse.

Numerous watchmen, yamen arresters, and city guards appeared from all over the city, all looking up at the fire that bloomed in the distance.

However, they did not rush for reinforcements in the direction of Linghuo, but scattered in their respective areas until...

"boom!!"

Less than ten breaths after the first fire exploded, the second fire appeared in the sky again, and its position had shifted to the east by about a mile.

Followed by the third, fourth, fifth...

Blossoming golden orchids representing the highest alert level bloomed one after another, but their positions were different.

If you look at it from a higher place, this scene is actually quite similar to the golden fireworks footprints that "walked" from Yongdingmen all the way to the Bird's Nest during the 08 Olympic Games in the previous life.

And the functions of the two are indeed very similar——

Both point to the location of something.

That's right, this is Plan B prepared by Du Chang.

He knew very well that once he fell into the situation of chasing Yan Luo, he would definitely not be able to chase Yan Luo behind his back.

Therefore, it is necessary to take advantage of the number of people to achieve "real-time positioning".

A large number of people were placed in advance near the watchmen's yamen, the princess's mansion, and the imperial palace, where Yan Luo was likely to show up to inquire about information, so that no matter where Yan Luo fled, someone would always be waiting on his way in advance.

And these officers don't have to do anything to Yan Luo, they only need to activate the fire as soon as they see Yan Luo, and indicate to the rest of Yan Luo's location, so that the colleagues around him can prepare.

There is no doubt that this is a stupid method and requires an extremely large manpower.

But this is a very simple and effective method.

It is even the only way when Wei Changtian can't track down Yan Luo's location.

"..."

"coming!!"

"Quick! Set off the fire!!!"

Dongfang.

Seeing "Guan Jingzhong" fleeing wildly not far away, a watchman with a gong tied to his chest shouted, and immediately shot forward, rushing towards the figure.

"boom!"

Behind him, his colleagues shot fire into the air immediately, but the gong beater didn't have time to look up, but continued to chase Guan Jingzhong who had turned around, and kept shouting:

"Yan Luo is here!"

"Yan Luo is here!!"

"..."

Obviously, what he said did not mean that he was Yan Luo, but that while ordering the people to avoid it, he also reminded his colleagues in the surrounding area to pay attention that Yan Luo had arrived here.

"Shh!"

The black shadow in the distance flashed past, getting farther and farther away from him.

But the watchman kept gritting his teeth and chased after him, and he didn't stop until he saw a colleague in front of him take over his baton.

"boom!"

"Yan Luo is here!"

"Yan Luo is here..."

In the distance, along with the countless number of fires rising into the sky, another person's shout sounded far away.

Now hundreds of breaths have passed since the first Linghuo.

Yan Luo is still fleeing, and they haven't lost him yet.

Unexpectedly, Du Chang could do what Wei Changtian, or the system, could not do in such a way.

From this perspective, Du Chang is indeed a talent.

But having said that, this is only a stopgap measure after all.

Fengyuan City is so big, but Du Chang's manpower is not unlimited.

Therefore, the farther away you are from the Dageng Yamen, the sparser the encirclement will be, and the more likely there will be loopholes.

At that time, as long as there is a mistake in the "handover baton" once, Yan Luo can completely escape.

Unless, Wei Changtian and the others can arrive in time before then.

......

"Whoosh!"

"Damn it!!"

Roof tiles were crushed under his feet, and the wind swept across his body.

While continuing to run at high speed, Wei Changtian cursed in his heart.

When the first fire was ignited, they were actually only a few hundred meters away from the watchman's yamen.

If Yan Luo chose to flee in their direction at that time, the two sides could just collide.
