Mid-Autumn Festival, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, night.

The moon is like a golden disk, hanging high in the sky.

In the open space in the front yard of Beishan Yizhuang in Longguo Village, there is a table with moon cakes, fruits and fine wines on it.

Wang Laizi and I sat on opposite sides, drinking and admiring the moon.

Occasionally, my eyes fell on the big coffin deep in the grass, and then back to the full moon in the sky, and a thought popped into my mind: "This is indeed a very interesting Mid-Autumn Festival night."

Filling a glass of fine liquor, I raised my glass to Detective Wang.

He smiled heartily, raised his glass, and took a sip.

"You are really chewing peonies and wasting this precious wine."

I took a sip and put down the glass, pointed at Detective Wang and laughed.

"Wine is for drinking, no matter how you drink it?" Wang Tan, feeling drunk, ate some mooncakes and burped in reply.

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You're right, it's me who got caught." After saying this, I raised my glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master Wei, you're a man!" Detective Wang provoked Brother Thumb.

I shook my head noncommittally and suddenly looked around. Then, I chanted a mantra, and restrictions fell around me.

Wang Tan's eyes lit up. He was half drunk and looked at me with burning eyes.

"According to the original promise, with the top-grade formation plate obtained from Qin Dun, and the top-grade treasure gourd returned to its original owner, you have already harvested two top-grade magic weapons. I have fulfilled my promise, right?"

I mentioned it with a half-smile.

When he mentioned the top-quality formation disk obtained from Qin Dun, Detective Wang shivered in fright and looked around hurriedly. Then he remembered that I had already been banned. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and became serious.

"Wei Ying, this is too big. To be honest, in the past few months, I have been worried that the city lord Qin Mao would suddenly appear in front of me and torture me severely.

I can't bear the torture, I guess if I tell the truth, I will be dead.

Unexpectedly, the Witchcraft Sect seems to have intervened in this matter, so I can live safely until now.

To be honest, if you don't come to me again, I will have to grease my feet and run away.

Hey, so many people in Longguo Village have been beheaded, and some of them went to jail. Only 30% of the people in the village are left, and a small number of people have left the village to find another way. In my opinion, this

The village is finished."

Wang Tan spoke his mind. It was difficult to live a frightened life and he urgently needed a supporter.

"Looking at your virtue, am I not still alive?

As long as I live, how can the City Lord's Mansion find you? Then won't I also be exposed?

Now, Qin Mao knows that I killed Qin Dun, but without evidence, he can only do it secretly.

The Demonic Witch Sect is there, and for the time being, he can't do anything to you and me, but as time goes by, it won't be guaranteed."

As soon as I said this, Wang Tan narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean, Master Wei?"

I patiently explained my opinion: "Sima Lizhai is an old fox. He can protect me for a while because I am valuable, but who can guarantee that he can protect me for the rest of my life?

What I mean is that you feel most at ease when you have power in your own hands.

You and I teamed up to trap and kill Qin Dun, and we have formed a deadly feud with the city lord Qin Mao. The other party is currently holding back, who can guarantee how many years he can hold it in? When he shows his sword, you and I will be in danger."

"Do you mean to replace it?" Wang Tan asked tentatively.

What he meant by replacing him was to replace Sima Lizhai's position in the Demon Witch Sect, that is, to sit on the throne of the Deputy Sect Master of the Demon Witch Sect.

"No." I shook my head.

"Then what do you think?" Detective Wang was a little confused.

"I don't need a title like deputy sect leader. Besides, it's too far away. Even if Sima Lizhai leaves office, the masters of his generation are the first choice. How can he fall to the core disciples who are one generation lower?

Up?

Don’t make a name for yourself, I just want to have the power and power that is enough to guarantee our wealth and life;

The Sima family is the best target.

I plan to assist Sima Feng and kill Sima Qi before the successor to the clan leader is officially determined early next summer!

Then, find a way to kill Sima Lizhai!

In this way, Sima Feng will naturally succeed the clan leader.

And I control the power of the Sima family in disguise.

This force is also mixed with many masters from the Demonic Witch Sect. With this force in hand, you and I can compete with the City Lord's Mansion."

I slowly stated my plan.

"Tsk! Kill Sima Lizhai and Sima Qi and his son? Master Wei, are you kidding?"

Detective Wang was frightened.

"Do you think I'm joking? To be honest, after close contact, I discovered that the father and son of the Sima family are not worthy of being called human beings at all. They are both murderous demons.

It's just that he concealed it well, especially Sima Lizhai, who acted like a righteous and heroic man to the outside world, pretending to be flawless, bah!

Even if it is to live up to the name of a hero given to me by my friends on the road, I should use my sword to kill the traitor and his son and avenge the innocent dead.

Just ask fellow Daoist Wang, are you willing to help me?"

Wang Tan was moved by my open and honest attitude.

But after he rolled his eyes a few times, he suddenly said: "Master Wei, when you say that, it sounds like you are trying to force me into the palace.

This is the top secret you hide deep in your heart. If you say it so clearly, if I refuse, will I not be able to see the sun tomorrow?"

Detective Wang looked at me suspiciously.

"Wang Daoyou is joking. I, Mr. Wei, disdain the behavior of villains the most. This matter is entirely up to your own wishes. I will not force you.

If you don't want to help me, then I will leave and you can pack your things immediately and stay away from Juezhou City at night to keep yourself safe."

I laughed when I heard this.

"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal secrets to others?"

Detective Wang asked puzzledly.

"Of course I'm worried, but I know you're a smart person and won't let yourself get into trouble.

If you talk nonsense everywhere, you may be killed, or even hunted down by me!

If you were unkind before me, don't blame me for being unjust after you." I looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"I understand, now I can choose whatever I want, but from now on, it will be you who decides how to treat me. It depends on how I act?"

Detective Wang smiled carelessly.

"That's exactly what I mean, so if you choose to leave tonight, you must keep your mouth shut. You won't be able to bear the consequences of leaking the secret, unless I am directly killed.

As long as you are still alive, I will never let go of you who is unjust.

You are a good reader of faces, look at me, do you think I have a short-lived face?"

Detective Wang looked at me carefully in the moonlight and raised his eyebrows.

"Wei Ying, you are a short-lived person, I can't be wrong about this!

However, there are signs of a change in your appearance, which is something I can’t understand either.”

Detective Wang's words shocked me. Did this person really know something? Then we can't continue this topic.

"In other words, I won't die in a short time, so I don't think you will leak the secret casually."

The topic was brought back to me.

"You are leaking secrets? You and I have been like grasshoppers on a rope for a long time! The city lord's palace is immortal, like a light on my back, am I going to be on the run for the rest of my life?

Yes, I have been harmed by you, so I will sell my life to you. We will join forces to kill Sima and his son, and then control the Sima family behind the scenes and compete with the city lord's mansion."

Detective Wang gave an accurate answer.

"Happy cooperation." I raised my glass happily.

Ding!
