Chapter 2508: Food Shortage Strategy
In the early morning, the streets of Kyoto were already full of cars and horses.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were busy in front of the gate early in the morning.
"We have a lot of things to buy today, so be quick!"
The housekeeper urged in front of the door.
The servants behind were in a hurry and rushed here.
Every three days, the Prime Minister's Mansion would go out to buy, which had already become a regular pattern.
Soon, everyone gathered, and under the instructions of the housekeeper, the leader led the team out of the street quickly.
What they mainly bought today was not only some vegetables and daily necessities, but also some rice, so they pulled three carriages.
However, when they just entered an alley, a man wrapped in a black robe blocked their way.
"Who are you...?"
The leader was a little surprised.
But when he looked closely, the man in the black robe disappeared.
"What's going on...!"
The leader suddenly felt a burning pain under his neck, and his eyes were filled with endless horror. A wave of blood shot up in front of his eyes, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, the servants behind him fell into a pool of blood without exception.
Bai Chen stood at the entrance of the alley, casually shook off the blood stains on his sword, and disappeared from the spot with a flash of silver light under his feet.
Because the place of the incident was very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the matter was quickly reported to the mansion.
The housekeeper was furious when he heard it. On the one hand, he ordered the Prime Minister's Mansion guards to search, and on the other hand, he quickly came to Xie An.
"Master, the people we sent out to purchase in the morning all died in the alley!"
The old housekeeper said with resentment.
He has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, and he has never encountered such a thing.
"All dead?"
Prime Minister Xie frowned.
The Prime Minister's Mansion has never been provoked in the Cangyu Empire.
"But don't worry, sir. I have ordered the secret guards to investigate the scene. I believe it won't take long to find the murderer!"
"You said you sent the secret guards to investigate?!"
Prime Minister Xie was shocked.
"Yes, yes... The incident happened suddenly. I was afraid that the murderer would escape, so I sent them out first and then reported back. Master..." The housekeeper was stunned when he saw that Prime Minister Xie's face was extremely ugly.
The secret guards are elites trained by the Prime Minister's Mansion for many years. The weakest ones are all in the Samsara Realm.
However, facing the housekeeper's doubts, Prime Minister Xie was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You are stupid!"
"This?"
While the housekeeper was puzzled, a servant suddenly ran over from outside the courtyard and kowtowed to the ground with a plop: "Master, something bad has happened. All the secret guards died in the alley!"
"What——"
The housekeeper was dumbfounded and couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, Prime Minister Xie was furious and slapped him to the ground with a slap.
"Order it down, no one is allowed to go out without my order!"
"Yes!"
The housekeeper rolled and crawled out.
...
In the following days, the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, and everyone huddled in the mansion.
But if this continues, the rice and grain will run out, and the people in the mansion will have to starve.
The prime minister of a country was forced to this extent. Xie An came to the evil god with a look of dejection to discuss the matter.
In the end, the evil god decided to let his son Shen Heyun go there in person and take people to the market to purchase.
We must not sit and wait for death!
...
On this day, it was also early in the morning. Shen Heyun, wearing a purple robe, led a team of people to open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked out.
The street was silent, and not even a single figure could be seen.
The news that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were killed had already spread throughout the capital, and all the people now dared not take this road.
Even the Emperor Yu didn't know who the prime minister had offended, but he chose to ignore it.
In a world where the strong are respected, the emperor was calm after all, and did not dare to offend the mysterious forces easily.
"I am Shen Heyun, today I want to see who is so brave that he dares to be an enemy of my Prime Minister's Mansion!"
As soon as Shen Heyun came out, he roared to the sky.
The terrifying air wave spread out from him as the center, forming a water-like sound wave ripple, which shook the whole earth violently.
The terrifying momentum was shocking!
Under Shen Heyun's lion roar, the servants behind him also instantly mustered up their courage. The previous timidity and fear were completely gone, replaced by a sinister look.
Bai Chen was sitting in a room on the second floor of a restaurant. After hearing Shen Heyun's roar, he slowly put down the wine glass, and a long-lost smile appeared in his eyes.
...
"Let's go!"
Seeing that there was no movement around, Shen Heyun waved his hand, and a large group of people began to walk towards the distant streets.
That street became the most feared lane for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But now with Shen Heyun leading the team personally, they will be fearless.
"Humph, the Li Mansion just found an assassin to deal with us. Today I want to see what kind of assassin you, Li Youran, can find!"
Shen Heyun snorted coldly and walked into the lane with the carriage.
However, the convoy stopped just after entering.
Because in front of the alley, a young man wrapped in a black robe had already been waiting here.
"Is he, is he?!"
The people in front were so scared that they retreated and hid behind Shen Heyun.
Shen Heyun did not expect that the other party would really dare to show up.
Could it be that he thought he was a soft persimmon that could be squeezed whenever he wanted?
Looking back and forth at Bai Chen with cold eyes, Shen Heyun sneered and walked forward suddenly.
"Boy, there is something I have to remind you. If you are arrogant because of your ability, it will often accelerate your death."
As he spoke, Shen Heyun's spiritual power fluctuations of the ten-star universe god realm rose up, making the entire sky covered by his powerful divine power.
Then under this extremely powerful energy fluctuation, Bai Chen raised his face calmly.
"Shen Heyun, long time no see~"
He had a smile blessed by the heavenly official, as if he was an old friend who had not seen each other for many years. People who saw it mistakenly thought that they were greeting each other.
But when Shen Heyun saw Bai Chen's face clearly, his face suddenly darkened: "You! Aren't you dead!"
"Dead?"
Bai Chen smiled helplessly, raised his hand slightly, and a strong wind suddenly swept out from behind Shen Heyun, and those servants who followed him were torn to pieces by an invisible storm in an instant.
Without even a scream, they disappeared in the fleeting hurricane.
The smell of blood in the air made Shen Heyun's face even gloomier.
Recalling the various changes in the past few months, his eyes were extremely gloomy.
"Bai Chen, you tricked me into going to Nanyue back then, causing me to lose the great foundation of Shenfeng Pavilion for tens of thousands of years. Today you chased me here to cause trouble for me. Is there really such a big hatred between you and me!"
