Obviously, Empress's guess was correct.
Sun Lang was indeed up to no good.
When this guy said his so-called "bold plan", Empress was so angry that she almost laughed.
This bastard really intended to use her as a bait to lure out the crazy killer from the Birth Split Monster!
After Sun Lang vividly described his blood-boiling plan, his large eyes sparkled as he looked at the Empress Concubine. He was filled with anticipation, as if he really hoped that the Empress Concubine would lend him a hand.
General Tensei refused cruelly, "Don't even think about it!"
Sun Lang said in disbelief, "How can that be!
We … Aren't we partners?! "
Empress stared and said, "Of course not, is your brain damaged?"
"Wow, you are not only ruthless, but also cold-blooded."
Sun Lang stood up, clenched his fists, and said passionately, "The two groups of people who died yesterday and today also had their own families, but they died here silently, never to see their loved ones again. Don't you feel sad and don't you want to seek justice for them?"
Empress said coldly, "No, whether they are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with me."
Sun Lang sighed and said, "Look, there is also a monster prince who died here. This is an international dispute. The murder of a foreign VIP in our country will cause our friends to be surprised. As the saying goes, a first-class foreigner is a second-class official. What's more, this is a foreigner among foreigners. Shouldn't you quickly find out the real murderer so that you can give an explanation to the monster race in Liyun?"
Empress sneered and said, "No, if the imperial court is too weak, it will cause the dissatisfaction of the general who retired to the mountains. Naturally, we have to be tougher. This monster came to our country to kill people, and in the end, he died an unnatural death. The monster race in Liyun should be anxious. After all, we are a dignified country. If we don't agree with them, we will lead troops to kill them."
"Hey, you're a f * cking fast learner." Sun Lang jumped up. "Don't you want to know who the murderer is?"
"Of course I want to know," Empress said. "But what does this have to do with me being the bait?"
Sun Lang shouted, "Of course it's related. You go and lure it out, then I'll rush out and beat it up and drag it away. Won't this matter be over?"
"So why do you want me to go?"
Empress looked at Sun Lang with suspicion and distrust in his eyes. "Be the bait … Why don't you do it yourself?"
Sun Lang said proudly, "If I could do it, why would I need you?
But I'm too strong!
My blazing pressure is like the sun in the darkness. As long as a little of it leaks out, it might be able to scare that person into fleeing … "
— Sun Lang's idea and plan were very simple.
Since they could deduce that the cause of death of the ancient bird was due to its blindly releasing its domineering aura, which attracted the attention of the murderer. As a result, it was easily torn apart, which meant that this method might work a second time.
In other words, he had to find a person with relatively strong martial arts to release his Qi in the depths of the mountain and see if he could lure that madman out again. As long as he dared to appear, he would absolutely not be able to escape.
So here came the problem. There were too few people who were suitable to be the bait. First of all, their martial arts had to be very strong, but not too strong. For example, if Sun Lang were to stimulate his internal energy and release his genuine Qi in the Huai Chuan Mountains, anyone with a bit of knowledge would probably run away and scare the murderer away. But they also couldn't be too weak. For example, the henchmen of the county yamen were all so weak that they couldn't attract the attention of the murderer.
So after thinking about it, the most suitable person was Empress.
Although Empress Tensei's Kung Fu was not the best, she had the Tianyuan Saber in her hand. With the power of the Imperial Army, her fighting strength was not bad. She was just right to be the bait.
However, she refused.
Sun Lang sighed and said, "Why did you refuse? I don't understand at all …"
Empress looked at him coldly and said, "Why did you refuse? Don't you have any idea in your heart?"
Sun Lang blinked his big eyes and said doubtfully, "Ah, I don't know. Don't tell me you suspect that I will deliberately delay and not come out after the murderer appears so that that guy can beat you up first?"
The Empress Concubine coldly laughed.
"Wow, so that's what you think. Am I such a vicious person in your heart?"
Sun Lang looked very hurt and said, "Ah, so you also misunderstood me like this. In this world, is there no one who understands me …"
General Tensei said indifferently, "What are you talking about? Aren't there seven or eight people in Mingzhou?"
Sun Lang rolled his eyes and said directly, "Anyway, are you going or not?"
Empress refused flatly, "No!"
Sun Lang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then I can only put you down and drag you into the mountains. I will take out the Tianyuan Saber and stimulate it to release energy waves. I can also set up a decent trap, but you can't move at that time. Facing the sudden attack of the murderer, you can only pin all your hopes on me to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress …"
He showed his snow-white teeth and said, "You choose yourself!"
Empress's expression froze. She gritted her teeth and said, "Scoundrel!"
Sun Lang shrugged and said, "It's your fault for not calling the elite henchmen of Tensei Province over to help. Otherwise, if a few of them came, you wouldn't have to be the bait, right?"
— — Call them over to help?
I'm afraid that after calling them over, you will secretly kill them!
Empress was boiling with anger. This was really a case of one person defeating ten people with strength. As long as Sun Lang had an absolute advantage in strength, there was nothing she could do to him.
She was silent for a moment and said coldly, "If that murderer is really lured over, what guarantee do you have that you will show up on time?"
Sun Lang said with a smile, "I already said that I won't do that. His martial arts are so high, and this is not a trick. If you are not careful and get torn apart, what will you do?
Don't worry, don't you know me?
Although I am usually a little lively, when it comes to important matters, I will never drop the ball … "
— — I'd be a fool to believe you …
In any case, Sun Lang was using both the carrot and the stick. He was persuading her with a smile, but behind her back, he was ready to use force. Empress thought of a few ways to deal with him, but they were all hopeless. In the end, she sighed and said, "You better know what you are doing. If you offend me this time, I will not let you go … Let me tell you, I will complain to your wife. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Sun Lang waved his hand and said, "You talk too much … Alright, let's pack up and go to the mountain."
Empress was stunned, "So soon?"
"That guy just finished a fight. There is no blood on the scene, which means that he is not seriously injured. Or maybe he is not injured at all. No matter what, he just tore apart a big monster. His body is probably still in a state of excitement. This is the best time to provoke him. He is like a powder keg.
He said, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, let's deal with him first and then go find the demon sword!"
Just as Empress and Sun Lang set off to return to the mountains and prepare to set up traps and bait, the little fairy Xie Wei finally caught her breath.
In the mountain stream, Xie Wei took out a few fruits from her bag and ate them. The sugar brought by the delicious fruits calmed her spirit. She went to drink some water and finally suppressed the fright she had just suffered.
She was trapped in the Huai Chuan Mountains, and there were people searching for her everywhere. What made things worse was that there was a monster with extremely strong martial arts and a very cruel character here. Just now, he tore apart a big monster. Xie Wei had some lingering fear when she thought of being in the same area as this monster.
— — If he also came to find Sister Lu, wouldn't it be over?
The mournful cry of the ancient eagle before its death was still in her ears. The little fairy couldn't help but feel her legs go soft. She was really frightened.
She didn't have time to rest anymore. She held the demon sword and asked worriedly, "Sister Lu, what should we do now? If that person also came to take the demon sword, I'm afraid we can't escape …"
— — After all, next time, there wouldn't be the benevolent and righteous king to block the knife for her.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Compared to Xie Wei, the bitchy personality's tone was much calmer. She analyzed, "I thought of what just happened. Why did that monster appear?
I don't think it was us who lured it here, but the ancient sculpture. In order to intimidate you and demonstrate its power, the ancient sculpture released its demonic energy. The energy fluctuations were too strong, so it attracted the monster's attention … "
Xie Wei said weakly, "And then?"
"And then …" The bitchy personality said, "We can probably come to two conclusions. First, he shouldn't be coming for us. Second, as long as we aren't as stupid as the ancient eagle, we probably won't attract him …"
The little fairy shook her head, "No, I'm asking, what are we going to do next? Are we going to hide here for half a month?"
She looked around. This mountain stream was a good place to stay, but if they wanted to stay here for a long time, they would have to store food, prepare dried meat, and prepare water … There was no time!
The b * tch's tone also became serious, "Yes … I was wrong. I wanted to use this opportunity to let you know the unpredictability of the human heart, but I didn't expect to attract such a monster. We can't stay in Huai Chuan any longer … We have to think of a way to leave."
Xie Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I want to leave, but can I?
The roads in all directions are guarded by those martial artists. The eagles in the sky and the beasts on the ground might all be reared by them. If we're not careful, we might expose our tracks … Things are different now. Once we're exposed, it's very likely that we'll attract that terrifying person … "
The bitchy personality agreed, "That's right. So, we have to think of a way to escape."
"What kind of way to escape?"
The sword spirit pondered for a moment and said slowly, "The only thing we can do now is to fight to the death … The chaos just now must have made many people panic, especially when they saw the ancient eagle's corpse. They must be frightened by the monster's strength and many people will retreat. That is to say, Huai Chuan may be very chaotic now, and the security is not as strict as before, so …"
She said firmly, "We'll do the opposite and leave from the direction of Huai Chuan … Many people must have retreated, and we'll take the opportunity to escape. No one will think of it!"
