After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2512 Once Again, He Impersonates Someone Else

However, He Lingchuan already had a plan: "Why don't we impersonate someone else again?"

"Impersonation?"

"It's time to leave the city. Let's go back first and take some men with us." Their reconnaissance mission in the city is basically complete, so there's no need for them to stay any longer.

Ling Jinbao smiled at Xiaolong: "Didn't you want to leave the city? Come with us now."

First, take this kid back to Mother Earth.

With their abilities, sneaking out of Baisong City unnoticed would be a piece of cake.

As for the three little spiders, they were perched in the gaps of the cargo box, their antennae on their heads. The team would take them with them when they set off out of the city.

In this way, once the Heavenly Demon sensed that everyone had left the city with the group, it would no longer pay attention to them.

Many outsiders come and go from White Pine City every day, and as long as their movements are normal, the Heavenly Demon doesn't bother to give them a second glance.

The city's defenses were unusually lax at midnight for He Lingchuan. This time, he chose to go out through the west gate and saw many cloth and paper hoods placed against the wall, some shaped like evil spirits, some like beautiful women, and others like tigers, oxen, and wolves.

There were countless banners and red flags.

There were people on guard at the scene to prevent theft. But it was already late at night, and the man was dozing off against the wall.

Hundreds of crates were covered with red cloth. He Lingchuan casually lifted one to take a look and found that inside were various candies wrapped in red paper, as well as local specialties: small green tangerines and small apples the size of copper coins.

Of course, there were also strings and strings of firecrackers.

"What's this?"

Xiao Long replied, "There will be a Spring Festival blessing parade tomorrow night. A huge crowd of people will be carrying these things, circling around the west end of the city, passing through the North Gate, the East Gate, and finally the South Gate. It will be lively and fun along the way. The parade team will also throw candy and snacks to people on the roadside."

To be fair, Baisongcheng has a rather rich cultural and spiritual life.

“I heard that in the past, the blessing procession would go from one village to another, but now it’s all about visiting the city.”

……

More than an hour later, the east began to lighten.

A convoy of cars that came out of the north gate of Baisong City picked up a couple as it passed the Geli Farm in the northern suburbs.

The man was very strong, and the woman was very slender. Both of them were tied up and were terrified.

"Where are we going? Who are you, and why are you arresting us?"

The drivers in this caravan were unlike any other; they all seemed to be experts, and the oxen pulling the carts were as tall as small mountains, capable of moving the specially made, heavy carriages.

No one paid attention to the man's questions, and the driver treated them like cargo, forcibly stuffing them into the rice and flour cart.

This car has a roof, and once the curtain is drawn, no one can see what's inside.

After sitting down, the man looked around nervously, his face still showing signs of alarm, but he uttered a single sentence:
"Luckily, the truck wasn't carrying pickled vegetables."

There are several shops in Baisong City that specialize in pickled vegetables. It seems that people in Yanxia Bay also love to eat them, so the city regularly sends several large vats of pickled vegetables there.

The smell of the pickling jar was absolutely amazing.

This fellow is none other than He Lingchuan.

The woman beside them was not human, but Xiao An in disguise.

The Lord of Baisong City had told Nightmare that a couple who had secretly escaped from Baisong City were being held at a farm in the northern suburbs, and that the caravan would be taking them to Yanxia Bay today.

He Lingchuan decided to make good use of this information, so he rushed to the farm before dawn to change his face and impersonate someone else once again.

Given his skill level, the guards at the farm didn't even notice that the prisoners had been switched, so when the Yanxia Bay convoy arrived, they picked up He Lingchuan and his companion.

As for his group of accomplices, they were all crammed into the Bean Garden, drinking tea, chatting, and eating melon seeds while watching Jiu You being dragged and pulled into the car by Ren Sheng.

When He Lingchuan and his companion entered the carriage, they discovered that behind the mountain of rice sacks lay four more people, all with their eyes closed, their bodies already cold, and some even stained with blood.

One of them was a cultivator who hurriedly passed by the noodle shop window at dusk. He Lingchuan noticed that he had a red thread on his head.

This person was stabbed in the heart from behind and died. The other deaths were caused in different ways, but it was clear that the murderer was swift, efficient, and experienced.

He Lingchuan gave Xiao An a wink, and she immediately screamed a few times so that the coachman outside could hear her, in order to show her fear.

As expected, the driver ignored him.

Then, she asked in a low voice, "Why were they killed?"

“Judging from their clothes, these four are together; judging from the fabric, they don’t seem to come from major sects or powerful countries.” He Lingchuan pointed to the worn-out collar of one of the men. “They may have sensed something was wrong with Baisong City, or they may have come here on business, but they were already being watched, and the people from Yanxia Bay took care of them.”

Ling Jinbao in the cardamom garden snorted: "No wonder the secret of White Pine City has been kept secret for so many years. Besides being located in a remote and unknown place, it also eliminates threatening outsiders in the city in real time. It's all thanks to us sneaking into the city in the convoy and avoiding the surveillance of the God's Watch."

These four cultivators had suspicious appearances and were marked as soon as they entered the city without realizing it. They wandered around the streets in the middle of the night, so naturally they did not have a good ending.

Bai Songcheng and Yanxia Bay dealt with them calmly and skillfully, clearly demonstrating their expertise.

The convoy headed straight north. The road was flat and straight, but it became increasingly desolate as they drove.

On ordinary official roads, post stations or tea pavilions would appear along the roadside every so often, providing rest stops for traveling merchants.

However, there were no post stations on either side of the official road north of Baisong City, because there were very few ordinary travelers and caravans on this road.

After walking for more than 20 miles, we arrived at Yanxia Bay.

As the convoy passed through an invisible barrier, everyone felt a chill, as if a cold wind was blowing on their faces.

But it was just that one moment.

He Lingchuan looked up and saw that the convoy had reached the sea. The beach of Yanxia Bay had almost no sand, only pebbles of all sizes and reefs stretching out into the sea.

Today the wind is strong and the waves are high, but this inland sea is relatively calm. The seawater crashes against the solid rocks, only splashing up three feet of spray.

Two guards immediately rushed over and asked, "Are there any idle people in the convoy?"

It is clear that the barrier was indeed alerted immediately.

The coachman pointed at the two men: "We've caught two more fugitives from White Pine City. There are also four cultivators asking all sorts of questions. Their companion went missing in White Pine City, and they've come to investigate."

As a result, the four of them also became trapped in Baisong City and disappeared from the world.

"Okay, we need fertilizer here too."

The guards sized up He Lingchuan and ordered them to get out of the carriage. One of them asked, "Are we taking them to Bai Chao as well?"

"Are you crazy? Why send a white nest now? Just make them work!" another guard glared. "We're short-handed right now, why not use the able-bodied men we have?"
