Chapter 321: Luring The Snake Out of Its Hole
After a series of discussions, Jin Cheng and Zhang Lie walked out of the City Lord’s main hall together.
Zhang Lie’s face was filled with slight astonishment. After they were some distance away from the main hall, he finally could not help but ask,
“City Lord actually agreed to this request? Then this time, the interior of the City Lord’s estate will be empty. With Lin Bai’s craftiness, he will definitely have something up his sleeve. At that time, the situation will be very bad!”
Jin Cheng’s face was disapproving as he swept Zhang Lie one eye. He licked dry mouth way: “Do you think City Lord is silly?
Besides, how far do you think we can follow them. As soon as we get to a remote area, we’ll capture those two immediately. If they resist, we’ll kill them. It won’t take long at all. It’s not a big deal for the City Lord’s Estate to be empty for such a short time.”
“However, I still don’t understand one thing… If we want to capture those two, then wouldn’t it be easier for the City Lord to work together with us in the main hall today? It wouldn’t draw out the loophole in the City Lord’s estate.”
Zhang Lie frowned again. From the beginning, he felt that such a plan was unnecessary. It was better to capture those two directly or kill them directly!
“That Fatty might have followed Lin Bai and sneaked into our midst, pretending to listen to the City Lord and doing whatever the City Lord asks. However, his actions have been seen through by the City Lord, so he is not the focus of the plan at all.”
As Jin Cheng spoke, he touched his chin, a rare look of confusion on his face. “The problem is that simple and honest Fu Hu. We still don’t know his ident.i.ty.
If he has already betrayed us, then he must belong to another group of people, another group of people who want to harm the City Lord! The City Lord made such a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. If the snake doesn’t come out, then there are plenty of ways to ‘serve’ Fu Hu!”

Jin Cheng spoke very patiently, but there was a look of disgust on his face. Zhang Lie saw it but did not care.
Zhang Lie frowned and continued to ask, “Then what do the two of them want with so many people?”
“I don’t know!” Jin Cheng simply shook his head. He thought for a long time about the reason, but he did not have an answer. “But no matter what they want, it’s all a daydream. With our strength and a few hundred subordinates, no matter what plan they have, they will still fall!”
A ruthless expression appeared on Jin Cheng’s face.
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the City Lord’s estate. From afar, they could see Fu Hu, who was badly burnt, and the Fat Man with a gloomy face.
“How is it? Did the City Lord agree?” Fu Hu asked nervously.
Seeing Fu Hu’s anxious look, Jin Cheng sneered in his heart, “You really know how to put on an act. If the City Lord hadn’t pointed out to me that you aren’t what you look like, I might really have been kept in the dark by you.”
However, there was still a gentle smile on Jin Cheng’s face. However, this gentleness was only limited to his own knowledge. In the eyes of others, this smiling face was truly sinister and repulsive.
Jin Cheng smiled and said, “The City Lord has agreed!”
“Good! That’s great!” Fu Hu’s face revealed a delighted smile. “This time, I can finally capture that Devil Lin Bai. I will definitely not let down the City Lord’s trust in me!”
“Those people are still preparing. Perhaps we will have to wait for a while.” Zhang Lie interrupted.
“It’s fine. Of course we can wait!” Fu Hu did not mind. His eyes lit up. He seemed to be looking forward to this matter very much.
Not long after, the two teams that originally had 50 people each became a vast team of 150 people each.
These hundreds of people were carefully selected by the City Lord’s estate. They trained hard every day. Even the vast crowd did not make a single sound at this moment. They stood in a neat formation with sharp gazes.
Looking from afar, it made people feel an inexplicable dignity. Ordinary people would feel breathless just by looking at it.
“Alright, everyone is here. Shall we set off?”
Seeing that the team had been reorganized, Jin Cheng urged Fu Hu and Fatty who were beside him. However, there was a ruthless killing intent in the depths of their eyes.
“Mhm! First, we will go to the forest before. There are some traces that we found before. Although there was the fire, there should still be some traces left.”
Fu Hu had this thought in his mind. Then, he called for the team to move out. Jin Cheng and Zhang Lie nodded silently, indicating that they would fully follow Fu Hu’s plan.
The vast and mighty team moved around the City Lord, who had a complicated flow of people. Soon, they attracted the attention of many people.
“You have to catch that Devil Lin Bai, or else we won’t be able to have peace every day and night. We’ll have to rely on you!”
“Devil Lin Bai deserves ten thousand deaths, he deserves ten thousand cuts!”
“The City Lord cares about the commoners and does everything for the people. We believe that the City Lord will definitely crusade against the demon Lin Bai!”
…
All kinds of crusade against Lin Bai and praise for the City Lord resounded on both sides of the road. Fatty only sneered after hearing it.
What a great devil Lin Bai deserved to die ten thousand deaths, and what a great City Lord who cared about the hearts of the people!
After this matter was over and the truth was revealed, what kind of gazes would these people use to look at Lin Bai? Would they harbor a deep sense of guilt?
Or would they naturally accept that Lin Bai did everything for them without the slightest bit of guilt?
Fatty was unexpectedly looking forward to all sorts of future events.
In the midst of the huge amount of praise, the huge team had already walked out of the City Lord and arrived at the outskirts of the wasteland. The buildings and the flow of people here were relatively spa.r.s.e.
Zhang Lie inadvertently glanced at Jin Cheng. Jin Cheng slightly raised his chin. Everything was said without saying.
These 200 over people’s team had been told by the City Lord to fully allow Jin Cheng to mobilize them before they took action. Therefore, Fu Hu and Fatty could be said to be the solo commanders.
Jin Cheng had already communicated with the troops beforehand. As long as he gave the order, everything would be done according to the plan.
Seeing Fu Hu and Fatty riding in front and not paying attention to the situation behind them, Jin Cheng slowly put one of his hands into his chest as if he wanted to take something out.
When the troops behind Jin Cheng saw Jin Cheng’s action, their eyes revealed a fierce light as they tightly gripped their weapons. They had already tightened their arrows on the bowstring and were ready to take action.
Suddenly!
Just as Jin Cheng was about to take out the items in his arms, Fu Hu and Fatty were riding their horses and sprinting into the distance!
“Not good, don’t let them escape, chase after them!”
Jin Cheng never expected that these two people would escape before he made his move.
However, this would not affect their plans. As long as they did not disappear from their sight, it would be futile to just run like this!
After hearing the order, a large group of people followed closely behind and chased after them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, all of a sudden, flames soared into the sky and the ground beneath the hundreds of people exploded!
