Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

After saying that, Li Guanqi didn't bother with what the other party thought and flashed away from Winter's Edge City.

Leaving Winter's Edge City, Li Guanqi didn't go to the East City to find Chu Yuan but returned directly to the courtyard in Summerfall City.

He didn't even meet Xiahou Cang.

Not long after Li Guanqi left, Chen Ce was about to contact Chu Yuan when the other party sent him a message!

"Li Congxin came to you? What did he say?"

Chen Ce told Chu Yuan everything they had discussed without reservation.

But Chu Yuan in the jade slip was silent for a moment, then said emotionlessly.

"Oh, I understand."

The jade slip went silent, and Chen Ce frowned and muttered.

"He doesn't trust me?"

"Why?"

Almost at the same time, Li Guanqi sent the image stone recording his previous conversation with the man to Chu Yuan.

"City Lord Chu, don't overthink it. I was just chatting with Senior Chen."

And Chu Yuan received a message from Li Guanqi.

"Oh, right, City Lord Chen, I also went to see City Lord Chu before coming here. His words were similar to yours, perhaps you two can discuss it."

After speaking, Li Guanqi simply threw the jade slip aside and stretched lazily.

Knock, knock, knock!!

In the end, Xiahou Cang couldn't help but come to find Li Guanqi after thinking it over. He wanted to know what Li Guanqi's purpose was in this trip.

After Li Guanqi opened the door, Xiahou Cang looked at Li Guanqi somewhat nervously.

"That... Young Master Li hasn't rested yet?"

Li Guanqi smiled, naturally knowing why he had come.

Sitting in the chair, after the other party sat down, he said softly.

"Want to know what I went to do?"

Xiahou Cang nodded somewhat awkwardly.

If Li Guanqi didn't tell him, he would be uneasy.

"Yes... I want to know what Young Master Li's next plan is."

Li Guanqi stretched lazily and said somewhat tiredly.

"Nothing, I just planted a seed."

"As for the rest, City Lord Xiahou doesn't need to worry about it."

"You only need to send 40% of the resources from North Sluice City to East City and Winter's Edge City tomorrow in two batches, very discreetly."

"Of course, City Lord Xiahou needs to make the trip himself and ensure that he reveals his whereabouts slightly along the way, but not intentionally."

"After sending them, just sit a little longer in Chu Yuan's place in East City."

"If you stay in Chen Ce's place for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, then stay in Chu Yuan's place for the time it takes to drink two cups of tea."

Xiahou Cang frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He would do whatever Li Guanqi said now.

After seeing Xiahou Cang off, Li Guanqi sat upright in the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, facing the direction of the door.

"I want the Ice Soul Jade Glaze... the six cities of the Emperor's Rest Bay!!"

Tonight, none of the three city lords could sleep.

Chu Yuan paced back and forth in his room with a gloomy face.

The originally elegant man now had a frown on his face, constantly muttering something.

He looked at the image stone screen that Li Guanqi sent him again and again.

Even the voices of the two were included...

In other words, the content of their conversation was all revealed in front of him.

But the more it was like this... the more doubts Chu Yuan had in his heart!!

"Is this image stone deliberately shown to me?"

"Then besides this, did they talk about anything else?"

"Or is it said... is this image stone just a way for the two of them to appease me?"

While Chu Yuan was thinking wildly, Chen Ce sent a message.

"Li Congxin went to find you?"

Chu Yuan was slightly stunned, frowned, and said in a deep voice while holding the jade slip.

"No! He has never contacted me."

After speaking, the man realized something was wrong.

"Chen Ce, did he say something to you?"

"I swear, I have absolutely never met him in private! He has never looked for me today either!!"

Inside the Winter's Edge City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Ce's knuckles holding the jade slip were slightly white, and he said with a normal expression.

"Oh, it seems he lied to me."

However, at this time, Chu Yuan had already realized something!!

He held the jade slip and said extremely quickly.

"Chen Ce! Wake up, this is all Li Congxin's plan!"

"He wants to use our mutual suspicion to alienate the two of us!"

Chen Ce said with a light smile.

"I know, the two of us must stand together."

"You and I must trust each other, and never be suspicious of each other."

The man in green clothes breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"It's good that you can figure this out."

"That Li Congxin's scheming is too deep. Now that Emperor's Rest Bay has become like this, you and I must trust each other!"

"Yes, we must trust each other."

After Chen Ce finished speaking, he put down the jade slip, and a strange light flashed in his eyes!!

"Trust each other, huh..."

"Whether Li Congxin went or not, I'm afraid only you know in your heart!"

At this moment, although the two of them spoke intimately.

In fact, they had already planted a seed of doubt in each other's hearts!

At this time, they had already begun to think about how to protect themselves in this vortex!!

On the contrary, at this time, neither of them dared to touch Xiahou Cang!

Once this balance is broken, they will not be able to bear the consequences.

Now, if anyone wants to make a move, the other can join forces with Summerfall City!

The reason why it has become like this is precisely because of Li Guanqi, the chess player...

In just a few days, the entire pattern of Emperor's Rest Bay has undergone earth-shattering changes.

And all these changes are because of Li Guanqi.

Under this extremely high psychological pressure, any action of Li Guanqi's affects the nerves of both of them.

This night was very long.

I'm afraid that except for Li Guanqi who closed his eyes to cultivate, none of the three city lords could sleep.

Early the next morning, the three cities were carrying out some inexplicable movements, frantically inquiring about various news.

Until night fell, Li Guanqi did not leave his room.

As for the jade jar sent by Yu Su, Li Guanqi just accepted it and didn't send it away.

There is no need to worry about Li Nanting. Li Guanqi is not so mad as to use a child to threaten Xiahou Cang and the others to do anything.

He took the child away only to make Xiahou Cang a little more afraid.

Until night fell, Xiahou Cang finally left.

But before he left, he used a puppet to show his face in the mansion instead of himself.

He himself went to the two cities silently!

However, until Xiahou Cang returned, only Chen Ce took the initiative to tell Chu Yuan about Xiahou Cang's arrival!!

And Chu Yuan...

Hid Xiahou Cang's arrival!!

Because the resources Xiahou Cang brought were something he couldn't refuse.

When Chen Ce heard that Chu Yuan had not seen Xiahou Cang, his heart jumped!

When Xiahou Cang came, he only said that he would share the resources of North Sluice City with him, and did not mention anything else.

The same was true for Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan even stayed with Xiahou Cang for a long time because he wanted to know what Li Guanqi was thinking!!

But Xiahou Cang had been playing Tai Chi all the time, and he didn't say anything about Li Guanqi, nor was he in a hurry to leave.

Because when Xiahou Cang went to see Chen Ce.

He realized from his words and deeds that Li Guanqi's plan had already worked.

So he was even more convinced of one thing, that is, to listen, to listen to Li Guanqi's words.

Li Guanqi just smiled indifferently when he saw Xiahou Cang excitedly describing everything.

Such a calm posture made Yu Su feel a chill down his spine...

As if everything, from the beginning, was all in his plan!!
