Chapter 174 Becoming a Spy
As the Infinity Glove gem lit up with colorful light, Shen Lang felt a tearing force coming from the surrounding space. The next moment, Shen Lang's eyes went black, and his body seemed to be torn into millions of pieces. Finally, the space twisted, and Shen Lang's figure disappeared into the air. Bai He's cemetery returned to silence again.
When Shen Lang opened his eyes again, he was in a cave in Fengleng Mountain. Flames spurted out from under his feet. Shen Lang flew out, leaving a trail of smoke in the air, and instantly disappeared in Fengleng Mountain.
"According to historical records, after pacifying the Nanyue Empire, Bai He's fief was in Pingnan City!" Shen Lang replied and asked Jarvis to start a positioning search. After a minute, he obtained the exact location.
"Jarvis, time node!" Shen Lang hid in the clouds and flew quickly.
"Eight thousand three hundred and forty years of the Chinese Empire, the tenth day before Bai He's death!" A series of numbers kept jumping in front of Shen Lang's eyes, and Jarvis began to explain.
"Okay!" Shen Lang nodded, increased the horsepower, and the red figure turned into a red meteor in the sky.
Half an hour later, Shen Lang's figure appeared right above Pingnan City. After taking a look at the bustling city, Shen Lang slowly descended from the clouds into a forest, changed into his infinite armor, walked out of the forest, and entered Pingnan City.
"Excuse me, where is General Baihe's residence?" Shen Lang asked someone at random while walking on the street.
The man was stunned, looked at Shen Lang strangely, and asked, "You are not from Pingnan City!"
"Um, no, I'm from outside. I just arrived today. I admire General Baihe very much, so I want to pay him a visit!" Shen Lang nodded and spoke.
"I want to pay a visit to General Baihe!" The man looked at Shen Lang as if he was guarding against a thief, and asked, "Which city are you from? What's your name?"
"I'm from Jiangxin City. My name is Shen Lang?" Shen Lang answered.
"Jiangxin City?" The man sneered upon hearing this, "Boy, don't lie to me. Jiangxin City is eight hundred miles away from Pingnan City, and you have to pass through a neighboring area. No one has been here for more than ten years. You actually said you came from there. Even if you want to make up a reason, please be more logical!"
"No one has been here for more than ten years?" Shen Lang exclaimed in surprise: "How could that be? Isn't Jiangxin City an important place for subsequent supply to Pingnan City? How come no one has been here for more than ten years?"
"Haha, it seems you are not an outsider!" The man sneered and turned around and shouted, "Someone come, catch the spy!"
"Huh?" While Shen Lang was stunned, two soldiers in armor jumped out from the crowd, holding spears. They came in front of Shen Lang in two steps and tied him up without saying a word.
"This person must be a spy, the one General Baihe wants to catch!" The man pointed at Shen Lang's nose and spoke. Immediately, all the people around him gathered around, staring at Shen Lang with pairs of angry eyes, as if they wanted to eat him .
Damn it!
What's going on?
"Take him away!" a soldier said coldly, dragging Shen Lang away from the long street, and all the civilians behind him followed.
This scene greatly surprised Shen Lang. He couldn't understand how he became a spy just by saying a few words.
Not long after, Shen Lang was brought to the gate of General Baihe's mansion by two soldiers and escorted inside. The people at the gate did not leave immediately, but gathered at the gate and looked inside.
"Report to the general, we have caught a suspected spy!" Shen Lang stood still in the courtyard, and a soldier walked into the hall and reported loudly.
"Bring him up!" A man's voice sounded, and then Shen Lang was brought in by two soldiers. Shen Lang also saw the appearance of the legendary god of war Baihe, who looked exactly like the Baihe General terracotta warrior. He looked to be no more than 30 years old, wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back and a solemn expression.
"Kneel down!" Shen Lang was escorted to the hall. The soldier shouted coldly and kicked Shen Lang on the knee. Shen Lang fell to his knees with a thud.
"Who are you?" Bai He looked Shen Lang up and down and spoke in a deep voice.
"Forehead!"
Shen Lang looked at Bai He, speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain, so he could only use the previous words to start: "I came from Jiangxin City. Because I admire the general's name, I came to Pingnan City and wanted to pay a visit to the general!"
Hearing this, Bai He sneered, looked at Shen Lang and said, "This is the most lame excuse I've ever heard. There's no logic at all!"
"Well, this is not a lame excuse. I really admire you!" Shen Lang looked at Bai He and said truthfully.
"You said you are from Jiangxin City. Do you have any evidence?" Bai He looked at Shen Lang and asked.
"Uh!" Shen Lang was stunned, blinked his eyes, thought for a long time, and said: "I'm talking about someone you may not know, but the lord of Jiangxin City is Wei Guo!" This is the only thing Shen Lang knows, of course there is also the Jiangxin Martial Arts Academy.
"Weiguo?"
Sure enough, Bai He looked confused after hearing this. He pondered for a moment and said, "The current lord of Jiangxin City is indeed surnamed Wei, but he is not Weiguo!"
"Well, anyway, Weiguo is the lord of Jiangxin City, but that's hundreds of years later!" Shen Lang grinned.
"hehe!"
Bai He sneered: "I advise you not to play tricks on me. I have no patience. If you tell me your true identity honestly, I can let you die more easily!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "No, no, no, I'm not playing tricks on you. I really admire you. I'm not the spy you're looking for!"
"General, I think this guy is a smooth talker. He won't confess unless you torture him!" The soldier next to him said coldly.
"Hey, hey, don't, don't, don't!" Shen Lang said quickly: "I know one more thing!"
"Speak!" Bai He was a little impatient.
"You have a sword called Cang Yue, right?" Shen Lang suddenly remembered the sword in the coffin and spoke.
Sure enough, Bai He was stunned after hearing the word "Cang Yue".
Cangyue is actually not the name of the sword, but the name of his wife, Wanyan Cangyue. However, he did want to forge a sword for his wife, and named it Cangyue.
“Bold!”
Before Bai He could speak, the soldier next to him shouted angrily and slapped Shen Lang in the face: "How dare you speak so arrogantly?"
Shen Lang was stunned by this slap in the face. He turned to look at the soldier next to him and asked, "What did I say? You are just talking nonsense. General Baihe really has a sword called Cangyue. If you don't believe me, ask your general." As he said that, Shen Lang looked at Baihe.
“Whoosh!”
As soon as Shen Lang turned his head, Bai He came to Shen Lang and placed his hand with a white halo on the top of Shen Lang's head, scaring Shen Lang so much that he gasped.
"Brother, I'm telling the truth, don't shoot me!"
