Outside Gusu City.
Xiaojiu led his dead men to ambush and kill the embroidered guards sent by Suzaku to summon the capital, and then waited patiently for a few days.
But Xuanwu and his Northern Embroidered Guards never appeared.
Gradually, even Xiaojiu began to lose patience.
"Master Jiu, let's just wait blindly like this. I'm afraid that the northern turtle will not go through Gusu but go straight to Jiyang, which will be a big trouble."
"Yes, Mr. Jiu, there is no need for us to wait in vain. The northern turtle will most likely go to Jiyang. Don't wait for them to arrive in the capital. We are still waiting here."
"Master Jiu, make your decision, we can't wait any longer."
Several close confidants kept admonishing Xiaojiu.
In their view, ambush in Gusu was a wrong strategy from the beginning.
Why keep thinking about stopping Xuanwu from going south?
Wouldn't it be all right if we just kill Xuanwu?
Xuanwu was just entering the Grandmaster realm for the first time, and was not yet known for being good at fighting.
Such people, as long as they seize the opportunity and do calculations mentally or not, they can definitely kill them with one blow.
After Xuanwu is dead, even if the war god in the north turns the Zhenbei Army upside down, will he be able to find evidence of smuggling?
impossible.
If the Northern God of War is so powerful, why has he not discovered this smuggling line for so many years?
As long as there is no evidence, what can the Northern God of War do to them?
After Xiao Jiu was silent for a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at his confidants.
"Let's... enter Linxi."
He couldn't wait any longer and decided to take the risk and sneak into Linxi County.
Although the confidants all suspected that Xuanwu might have crossed directly from Jiyang to Beijing, Xiaojiu had an intuition... He felt that Xuanwu was still in Linxi County on the other side of the river.
What the confidants say is right.
Kill Xuanwu and everything will stop!
The existence of Xuanwu is too great a threat.
His ability in detective work is unparalleled in the world.
If Xuanwu doesn't die, their master's Jinxiu Hall will be in danger.
Xiao Jiu was very sure that if Xuanwu were to investigate and find out something, those behind-the-scenes bosses who were also involved in grassland smuggling would probably be fine, but their main family, Jinxiu Hall, would definitely be pushed out by these bosses as the scapegoat.
Xiao Jiu, who was loyal to his master's family and his master, did not want to see this scene.
"Would you like to enter Linxi...Okay, Master Jiu, we will do whatever you say."
After all the close friends looked at each other, they all responded in a low voice.
For them, as long as they are not allowed to wait blindly outside the city of Suzhou, it is better than anything else.
Although sneaking into Linxi is more risky.
But what they do is a job of licking blood from the edge of a knife, so who cares about some risks?
"Quickly clean up, we'll set off immediately."
Xiaojiu is a resolute person. Now that he has made a decision, he will not hesitate again.
Upon hearing this, all the confidants immediately agreed.
After a while.
This group of dead men from the Jinxiu Hall, the first chamber of commerce in Bashu, began to prepare boats to cross the river and head north.
The target is obviously Linxi County, which has become a troubled place now.
…
The middle door of Sanwei Bookstore is wide open, and business is still going on.
Li Qianjue was sitting behind the counter, dozing off half asleep.
Lord Luo and the two young ladies have returned safely, which completely calmed down Li Qianjue, who was originally uneasy.
When the White Lotus thieves besieged the city, he almost rushed out of the city to look for Luo Heng and the others.
For him, his current life is very comfortable, and he has no desire to live a precarious career in the world.
Fortunately, everything was fine.
Luo Heng and three others returned safely.
"I'm practicing again... Hey, after a trip out of the city, the two young ladies seem to be becoming more diligent."
Listening to the noise coming from behind, Li Qianjue's old eyes narrowed slightly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
In the garden.
Mu Qingwan and Ye Wan'er didn't know what kind of stimulation they received. As soon as they returned home, they couldn't wait to start practicing martial arts.
Luo Heng persuaded them for a few words, asking them to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and then stopped persuading them.
The girl and Miss Ye were probably aroused by today's events. They felt that they had become a hindrance, and they felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
Think about it, the girl is the future female devil, she is so arrogant, how can she allow herself to be a waste?
Miss Ye is also a woman with a strong character.
"Wanwan, the way the divine concubine comes out of the bath needs to be more charming, not too fierce."
Luo Heng sat in the pavilion, watching the girl boxing, and giving advice from time to time.
When the girl heard this, she glanced at Luo Heng, feeling a little distressed.
Am I fierce?
I've been as gentle as possible.
She seemed to have trouble understanding Mei.
"Well... let me teach you a method. When you perform this trick, think about how to please me, and your eyes will be discharged..."
Seeing that the girl was confused, Luo Heng spoke.
However, he couldn't continue talking.
He always felt like he was teaching bad children.
The girl didn't feel anything was wrong, her eyes brightened slightly.
Are you thinking about pleasing Luo?
I can do this.
The girl felt a little excited in her heart, and her movements began to become softer, lazy, and naughty.
However, the girl was a blank slate after all, and the ways she could think of to please Luo Heng were, at most, just rubbing her little head against Luo Heng's chest.
The trick that was supposed to be naturally charming, "the concubine comes out of the bath," was turned into a "little kitten acting like a baby," which is indescribably cute.
When Luo Heng saw this, he smiled unconsciously.
He didn't bother to correct her. Anyway, this "beauty dance" was just for girls to play with.
With the speed at which the girl is practicing the "Moon-Swallowing Technique", it won't take long for her to understand the killer move that comes with "The Moon-Swallowing Technique", so why should she care about whether these ordinary martial arts skills are well practiced.
On Ye Wan'er's side, a set of "Thirty-six Fists of Taizu" was practiced meticulously, and the movements were extremely standard.
Luo Heng glanced at it and nodded slightly.
This Miss Ye abides by etiquette and is a typical lady of this era who is deeply brainwashed by etiquette.
Her boxing moves are standard, square and by the rules, which is in line with her personality.
It's not like a girl who has no imagination and no traces.
There is actually no difference between the two.
However, from a practical perspective, the girl with unrestrained imagination undoubtedly has a higher limit.
After all, fighting in the arena is not a competition of martial arts routines, but a matter of adapting to circumstances.
The more imaginative you are, the harder it will be for the enemy to deal with it.
Half an hour later.
The girl and Ye Wan'er have repeated their respective punches more than ten times.
Seeing that they seemed to want to continue practicing, Luo Heng hurriedly stopped them.
"That's it for today. If you practice any more, it will be counterproductive."
"Remember, martial arts training is not about competing harder or more diligently. Of course, hard work and diligence are useful, but... in the final analysis, martial arts training is about talent."
"Otherwise, the masters in this world will all be mediocre people who work hard."
"A true martial arts expert will always allocate time reasonably and pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
