Chapter 121 I anticipated your prediction
Suddenly, a gray pigeon took flight from the courtyard of the county government office, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.
Standing on the attic, Ding Yi immediately saw the small black dot rising into the air and urged:
"Quickly, get your falcon following!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao'er quickly took a bamboo whistle, put it to her mouth, and gently blew it.
The deep whistle carried far and wide. At the same time, dozens of meters away, a falcon perched on a treetop suddenly leaped down, then flapped its wings and soared upwards, chasing after the direction in which the carrier pigeon had flown.
These demonic falcons, corrupted by malevolent energy, not only possess astonishing endurance and multiply their strength, but also obey the commands of their sentry without question, making them invaluable allies.
On the day Yu Rongguang died, the Yin Yang Palace and the Qingfeng County Supervisory Office relied on these demonic falcons to send messages, and the round trip took only two or three days.
The two stood on the attic and waited for a while. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the falcon suddenly descended from the sky and landed steadily on the railing in front of them.
"Have we found it?"
Ding Yi looked at the demonic falcon, then frowned and asked Sun Qiao'er.
"Yes, let's go."
Even in front of a demonic falcon, Sun Qiao'er did not forget to keep her identity a secret, and turned to walk downstairs.
Ding Yi, on the other hand, stood there motionless.
Why don't you leave?
Sun Qiao'er noticed Ding Yi's unusual behavior and asked him with some confusion.
"You go ahead, sir. I'll keep watch here."
Ding Yi spoke slowly, then gave Sun Qiao'er a look.
Sun Qiao'er was very clever. After a slight pause, she understood Ding Yi's meaning. She then took out a black token from her long sleeve and tossed it to Ding Yi.
"This is the order for the Ten Black-Armored Guards."
After saying that, Sun Qiao'er slowly walked down from the pavilion.
A moment later, a whistle sounded again from below the pavilion. Upon hearing the whistle, the falcon that had been standing on the railing flapped its wings and flew into the sky once more.
Unlike last time, this time he hovered a hundred meters above the ground, clearly leading the way for Sun Qiao'er and the others.
Hearing the synchronized footsteps below the pavilion, Ding Yi knew without looking that Sun Qiao'er had already led a group of people to follow the demon falcon toward the direction where the carrier pigeon had landed.
Ding Yi smiled slightly at this, then turned his gaze back to the county government office.
A short while later, a commotion suddenly arose on the other side of the inner city, and black-armored guards rode by on horseback across the street below the pavilion.
Judging from the direction these black-armored guards were rushing, it was clearly the place from which the sound came.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Sun Qiao'er was indeed exceptionally intelligent; she understood his meaning with just a glance and caused quite a commotion over there.
This also serves as a reminder to Ding Yi that nothing was found where the carrier pigeon landed.
Ding Yi then turned his gaze toward the county government office, curious about Wang Pingshan's next move.
Half an hour later, Ding Yi suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.
"Dengdengdeng!"
A black-armored guard rushed up to the pavilion and approached Ding Yi, speaking in a muffled voice:
"Lord Ding, three people came out of the back gate of the target's courtyard at the same time. Our men are already following them."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and continued:
"Very good. See where they settle down. Also, continue to have people keep a close eye on the county government!"
Upon hearing this, the black-armored guard immediately bowed and accepted the order, then hurriedly went downstairs.
"Wang Pingshan, you want to play the game of predicting my predictions? Then let's see who has the patience to predict until the end."
Ding Yi looked in the direction of the county government office, and sneered inwardly.
After another half incense stick's time, the black-armored guards came up to the pavilion again and reported to Ding Yi.
"Lord Ding, one of them went into a house in the west of the city, while the others returned to the county government office."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi raised an eyebrow and then said:
"Two people stay here to keep an eye on the county government office area. The rest of you, come with me to take a look!"
After saying that, Ding Yi took the lead and went down from the pavilion.
Downstairs, three or four black-armored guards were waiting there, ready to be dispatched by Ding Yi.
Ding Yi glanced at the black-armored guards and then said:
"Everyone should walk there, or take a detour."
"Please come with me, Lord Ding."
One of the black-armored guards spoke, then led Ding Yi to the other side of the street.
It was already close to evening, and there were far fewer people on the streets.
The black-armored guard leading the way checked the marks left on the street walls by the person who was following them as they walked, and soon brought Ding Yi to the front of a mansion.
The mansion wasn't very impressive, but it was located in a rather remote area. After looking it over, Ding Yi felt that there was probably something wrong with the place.
After all, this house is far from the street, and the houses next to it look uninhabited, making it a perfect place to hide people.
"Lord Ding, what should we do now?"
"I asked the black-armored guard."
"What else can we do but charge in!"
Ding Yi was taken aback, then said.
"Yes!"
The Black Armor Guards didn't ask Ding Yi if what he was doing was in accordance with the rules; they only obeyed the person holding the token, so they naturally did whatever Ding Yi said.
The leader of the black-armored guards took the lead and kicked open the courtyard gate with a loud "thud".
The remaining black-armored guards rushed in, drew their long swords, and spread out in the courtyard, subtly surrounding the side rooms.
After seeing that the black-armored guards could rush in without any problems, Ding Yi finally entered the courtyard and waved to the black-armored guards on both sides.
Upon seeing this, the black-armored guards immediately understood Ding Yi's meaning. They then walked to the side room, kicked open the wooden door, and cautiously entered.
After a short while, the black-armored guard walked out with a regretful expression.
"Lord Ding, we didn't find the person, but we found some old kasayas in the house, which look like they were taken off by those evil monks."
"That's what the black-armored guard said."
"Oh?"
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly without any displeasure; instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Did Wang Pingshan deliberately choose an old place to expose himself just to disgust himself?"
Ding Yi chuckled, then waved his hand:
"Everyone out, I'm going in to take a look."
The black-armored guards looked at each other, not understanding what Ding Yi was going to do, but they still gathered in the courtyard, waiting for Ding Yi.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard several hundred meters away from this location.
Duji looked up at the gradually darkening sky, clasped his hands together, seemingly lost in thought.
"Senior brother, those black-armored guards went towards the old house. It seems that Wang Pingshan's side has been exposed."
Du Neng spoke slowly behind him.
"It's alright. Wang Pingshan's role is over. The formation is complete. Let's activate it tonight."
Duji said slowly.
"Senior brother, the Fetal Infant Pill hasn't been refined yet, how can we retrieve it?"
Du Neng had some doubts.
"Half a dose of the Fetal Mother Flesh Infant Pill is enough to make Wang Pingshan convert to Buddhism, and it has no other effect."
As Duji spoke, he turned and walked toward the side room behind him.
Just then, a sharp explosion suddenly rang out in the air, and a cold light flew out from nowhere, heading straight for Duji.
"Ok?"
Just as Duji was about to take a step, he froze. Looking up, he saw a figure standing steadily on the courtyard wall, grinning at him.
