On this day, after Liu Xin nodded, he left Qianhusuo.
Now that the Qianhu Institute is recruiting people, Dai De'an asked Liu Xin to think of a name for his new Qianhu Institute. When he is promoted to Qianhu Institute in the future, he can use it directly.
But now with his official position as Deputy Qianhu, the Qianhu Office can also own three Hundred Household Offices.
This was the preferential treatment given to him by Dai De'an.
Moreover, Dai De'an did not hesitate to value Liu Xin. He was very sure that Liu Xin could become a thousand households in the future, or even higher.
Liu Xin hurriedly responded with a few words and left.
He was going to find someone, a helper.
Now the power of Marquis Wu of Emperor Wu City and the power of the Holy Sect's secret investigation team are pouring into the imperial capital.
At the same time, there are also evil secrets.
As a middleman, the evil sect must watch over both parties and prevent them from cheating.
Therefore, even if Senior Brother Yan Chun comes, he cannot take action casually because he is not a member of the secret investigation team.
But Liu Xin is different. Strictly speaking, he is not a member of the secret investigation team, but he hides his identity with the help of the entire Imperial Capital secret investigation team. If he doesn't tell anyone, no one will know his true situation.
The evil sect has entered the scene, and Liu Xin believes that Xuesheng will definitely come as well.
Especially since this matter would inevitably involve him.
Liu Xin is so confident that Xuesheng will definitely come to the imperial capital because of his relationship.
And according to Xuesheng’s character, she must have said it coldly:
I just went to watch the excitement.
But inside, I was extremely anxious:
I have to help Liu Xin quickly, don't let Liu Xin get hurt because of his lack of strength.
The relationship between the two over the years is not just talk.
The reason Liu Xin wanted to look for Xuesheng was because he knew that with Xuesheng's temperament, even though he came to help him, he would definitely not show up directly and come to Liu Xin and say to him face to face:
"I'm here to help you."
He must have come silently, helped silently, and finally left silently.
When the two of them meet one day, he will leisurely talk about when and where I went and solved a problem. Oh, it turns out that thing can help you. I didn't expect it. It was such a coincidence.
Xuesheng is a guy with a cold face and a warm heart.
What Liu Xin is looking for now is Xuesheng's foothold. Although Xuesheng will not directly tell Liu Xin that he is here to help him, he will definitely leave a secret code for the evil sect where he stays.
After wandering around the inner city for a long time, he didn't find any secret signs. He found a tavern and had a quick lunch, then went to Baizhifang in the outer city.
While walking through a street in Baizhifang, he saw that familiar street, where he found the wives, children, and children of those who were forced to enter the palace from the Yuma Supervisory Case.
It was also from this clue that the real culprit of the Yuma Supervisor case was finally discovered step by step.
When he passed by here, he couldn't help sighing.
Suddenly there was a cry from behind.
"Ah, it's you!"
The girl's voice was very familiar. Liu Xin turned around and saw that it was the girl Xiaoli.
"It's you, it's you, it's you. Master!"
The girl Xiaoli looked excited, her face turned red, she danced and jumped in place.
There was a dark line on Liu Xin's face.
Master, what master?
The girl Xiaoli seemed to be holding back her excitement, her face turned red. With his hands still shaking slightly, he took two steps. Facing Liu Xin, he made an apprenticeship ceremony only for warriors, and bowed downward at a ninety-degree angle.
"I've met the master."
"When did I become your master?" Liu Xin asked puzzledly.
"Last time you said you wanted to take me on as your disciple."
"Why don't I remember?"
"You said so."
"I do not remember."
"Are you trying to cheat?"
The girl Xiaoli looked at Liu Xin with burning eyes, full of worry, doubt and a trace of vigilance.
Liu Xin's mind echoed carefully, and suddenly he felt as if he had actually said something similar.
But given the circumstances at the time, it was possible that he was just joking that it had been so long since the incident and that he had already forgotten about it.
The girl Xiaoli suddenly had tears in her eyes and said angrily:
"Ever since that day you...you said you wanted to take me on as your disciple, I...I...I have been waiting for you for a long, long time.
Later, I thought you couldn't find us, so I kept wandering back and forth between the earliest courtyard and the small courtyard where we live now, hoping to find you one day.
I finally waited for you today, but I didn't expect you wouldn't admit it.
Woohoo! "
The girl Xiaoli burst into tears in the street. Liu Xin, who had never encountered such a thing before, panicked for a moment.
He had never had the experience of coaxing a little girl. Although some of his junior brothers were very young, they did not cry easily.
The girl's cry resounded throughout the world, because the sound was high-pitched and extremely penetrating. Although there was not much traffic on the street at noon, everyone who walked by had to follow the sound and look over, making Liu Xin feel very uncomfortable.
"Okay, stop crying, let's go, let's find a place to chat!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Okay, I said, I'll talk to you."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Okay, I will consider the matter of accepting a disciple. Do you want to come with me or not? If you don't, forget it!"
"Master, you can't regret it!"
Xiaoli stopped crying instantly, there were still glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, and two tear tracks hung on her face.
Liu Xin suddenly had the urge to hold his forehead and sigh.
Taking the little girl with him, Liu Xin randomly found a restaurant.
It's the kind of restaurant where you can eat on the first floor and stay on the second floor.
Because he was carrying a little girl who could burst into tears at any time and attack with sound waves, Liu Xin didn't notice that there was an inconspicuous sign at the door of this restaurant.
It's like a little kid on the street drawing random things on the wall.
Just as Liu Xin and Xiaoli entered the restaurant, a man and a woman appeared at the far end of the street outside the restaurant.
The man is handsome, wearing a blue gown, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
The girl is cute and gentle, Xiaojiabiyu, dressed like a maid.
"Brother, why are you wearing such naughty clothes?"
"Senior brother, you are very conspicuous like this."
"Senior brother, why can't you find your brother when you come back this time?"
"Senior brother..."
The man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes said: "Junior sister, I told you not to come, but you insist on coming. I agreed in advance not to ask questions. Now you insist on asking questions. How can I take you with you in the future? Come out to play?”
"Senior brother, you are the best. You will definitely take A Li out to play."
Liu Li pulled Xue Sheng's sleeves and spoke coquettishly.
These two people were Xuesheng and Liu Li who had just returned from the south.
Xuesheng was very anxious when she came back. Liu Li asked many times, but Xuesheng just didn't say anything.
Xuesheng still tried to keep Liu Li in the south.
But Liu Li was elusive, and Xuesheng couldn't get rid of this junior sister even after several attempts.
"Elder brother has appeared in Fair Town, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Xuesheng suddenly asked Liu Li.
Liu Li said in surprise: "Elder brother also appeared. He hasn't appeared for a long time. I heard that he was sent to the west by the master."
Xuesheng also had a look of memories in her eyes.
"Yes, it has been several years. Ever since Senior Brother took that step, my father asked him to travel all over the world, go out of Zhengyang and see wider places.
I mentioned it to my dad several times, but he just didn’t agree. "
"Me too. I told the master several times, but he just ignored me. Huh, this old stubborn man will never buy him a drink again."
"What? You bought my father a drink. You didn't know that he couldn't drink in that condition... Oh, forget it. If people knew that he was in that condition, I guess..."
"Since senior brother knows that no one should know about the master's situation, why don't you worry about it? Although you look very smart, you are actually a very irritable person. You are not as good as my brother in this regard."
Xuesheng was speechless.
"Hey, that man's back looks like my brother."
"Impossible, I came here to hide it from him." Xuesheng looked towards the restaurant in the distance, but saw no one.
"Why can't you tell my brother? And senior brother, what are you here to do? Are you trying to find me someone..."
An angry look suddenly appeared in Liu Li's eyes. This is a look that can only be seen on women. Girls do not have this kind of emotion.
"..." Xuesheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
But he didn't answer, and Liu Li was angry.
"snort!"
Liu Li walked forward angrily and quickly. Xuesheng had a question mark on her face, what's going on?
If Liu Xin were in this place, he would say:
Hey, you wooden head!
Liu Li quickly entered the restaurant, passed the dining area on the first floor and went straight up the stairs to the second floor. Xue Sheng quickly chased after him.
Neither of them noticed that Liu Xin and Xiaoli were sitting in a corner on the first floor.
"Xiao Li, you haven't eaten yet, right? Waiter, please serve some of your specialty dishes!"
"I...I also want a bottle of wine." Xiaoli interjected.
Liu Xin frowned and looked at Xiaoli.
"How old are you this year?"
"Fifteen, ah no, sixteen." There was obvious guilt on Xiaoli's face.
"What kind of wine do you drink at such a young age?" Liu Xin said dissatisfiedly, turning around and telling the waiter at the shop to remove the wine.
Unexpectedly, the waiter in the shop was a shrewd business man.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. How can a sixteen-year-old girl be so young?
At the age of sixteen, you are already old enough to leave the cabinet. "
"Yes, yes, then let's do it, master!"
The master's shout made Liu Xin upset, so he waved his hand and said it didn't matter.
The waiter smiled as if he had succeeded, responded, and turned around.
The business of this restaurant is quite good, mainly because the shopkeeper and the waiter are very good at business.
Behind this restaurant is actually Fourth Senior Brother Sun Long.
However, few people within Shengzong knew about this, and Liu Xin certainly didn't know either.
This restaurant also has another identity, that is, it is a secret base of the covert investigation team.
But this secret base is independent of the Imperial Capital's secret investigation team.
When it was established, it only served Sun Long.
Restaurants like this are all over the Zhengneng Kingdom, and there are even many similar places on the ground near the north gate. It may be an inn, it may be a mistake, or it may be a restaurant like this.
Sun Long traveled all over the country, north and south of the Yangtze River, and his footprints were all over the Zhengyang territory and the Beiman territory.
He relies on the secret bases of these covert investigation teams to provide him with various intelligence supports.
Of course, these are all things for later.
"Why do you have to worship me as your teacher?"
While the waiter was still preparing the dishes, Liu Xin asked this question again.
"Because, because I want to protect my family." Xiaoli's answer was sonorous and powerful. And it was well-founded. Liu Xin didn't know how to answer for a while.
“But warriors are very dangerous, and the world believes in the cruel laws of the forest, where the weak eat the strong.
Vendettas, assassinations, and even murder just because they don't like you.
Jianghu is a place without legal principles.
And although you have reached the age of leaving the palace, it is already too late for practicing martial arts at this age! "
Liu Xin said this just to scare Xiaoli away.
But unexpectedly, Xiaoli was not afraid at all.
"Master, have you forgotten my identity?"
Liu Xin looked at her doubtfully.
"I am a disciple of the Yuma Sect! My father is the deputy master of the Yuma Sect!"
Liu Xin didn't expect Xiaoli to have this identity.
Deputy Sect Master...
Although Yuma Sect is not a powerful sect, he can be considered a figure to be the deputy sect leader.
Just listen to Xiaoli continue to say:
"My father used to be quite famous in the world.
The Royal Horse Sect made its fortune by raising horses, but without the protection of force in the arena, it was easy to be bullied by others.
My father is from the Yuma Sect and the Zhan Sect, and he is best at fighting on horseback. Although I have not practiced systematically, I have learned some things under the influence of my father.
And master, let me tell you secretly..."
Speaking of this, Xiaoli's voice lowered and her whole body leaned forward.
Liu Xin naturally stood still, and no matter how soft Xiaoli's voice was, he could still hear her clearly.
"Master, let me tell you, my father left me many secrets."
"Oh." Liu Xin said calmly.
He doesn't care about any martial arts secrets. As the senior brother of the first martial arts sect, what secrets has he not seen?
Even if there are millions of military scrolls in the Five Emperors City. But it doesn’t mean that the more you watch and learn, the better you will be.
Although there are many martial arts secrets hidden in Emperor Wu's City, they probably don't have as many top-notch techniques as those of the Holy Sect.
This is the true foundation of a sect.
Even if a small sect like the Yuma Sect has secret manuals, they are at best the level of top-notch techniques.
None of the techniques he, Liu Xin, practiced were top-notch.
Bit off more than you can chew.
But even though he was thinking this in his heart, his face was still unwavering.
He couldn't cause trauma to a little girl like Xiaoli.
The food is served, and the food in this restaurant is of good quality.
A Dongpo elbow made Xiaoli drool.
Liu Xin's heart moved slightly and asked:
"How are you doing now? I'm referring to your aunts."
Xiaoli resisted and turned her eyes away from Dongpo's red elbow.
"It's still like that. We moved back from our original place, and the court also gave us a subsidy of money, and we rented a small yard casually.
The aunts sewed clothes for people and made some handicrafts to supplement the household income. "
"Aren't you thinking about leaving the Imperial Capital?"
Xiaoli's eyes suddenly darkened.
"The Yuma Sect is gone. We have nowhere to go. We have lived here for at least ten years and are used to it."
Liu Xin sighed silently, and then asked Xiaoli to start eating.
While eating, Xiaoli quickly put those unpleasant things behind her.
Liu Xin wasn't hungry because he had just finished eating, so he poured wine into his glass and drank it slowly one glass at a time.
While Xiaoli devoured her food, she carefully glanced at Liu Xin from the corner of her eye.
Suddenly she swallowed the meat in her mouth, grabbed the wine bottle, and took two gulps.
Liu Xin didn't expect this little girl to do this and was caught off guard.
The little girl took two gulps of strong wine, and her whole face turned red.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the smell of alcohol spread directly on Liu Xin's face.
With the strength of the wine, Xiaoli knelt down with a plop.
"Master is here, please bow to me."
The shout from this voice was earth-shattering and almost used all the strength of Xiaoli's body.
Liu Xin frowned slightly, but she was not surprised by this, after all, she was used to it.
On the contrary, he was a little surprised that Xiaoli's sound just now had already been filled with internal energy, otherwise this sound would not be so penetrating.
Seeing Liu Xin just looking at him like this, without any expression.
Xiaoli stood up suddenly and picked up the wine bottle from the table. She drank a few more gulps and finished the bottle of wine.
Xiaoli has never drank. It's not that he can't drink, but that their family lives in poverty. Sometimes he even does some petty theft because of the pressure of life.
Of course, he will also go to work to earn money afterwards and try to return those things as much as possible.
Sometimes we are really forced to make a living and have no choice but to do it.
At this moment, after drinking this pot of wine, the alcohol intensity suddenly increased.
And he unknowingly used his internal power to accelerate the cycle of these nine pages, causing his whole body to turn red all of a sudden, and his skin became transparent. The light red skin made Xiaoli look like a flower just now. Blooming peach blossoms.
"Master, just accept me."
I haven’t used my inner strength in this life, but my voice is not quiet either.
Fortunately, it was already past noon. They were actually the only table in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant.
Except for attracting the attention of the waiter and shopkeeper, no one else paid attention to this place.
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoli still persisted in staring at Liu Xin.
Liu Xin suddenly had an idea in his mind and made a decision.
He stood up and came to Xiaoli's side, reaching out his hand.
He pinched Xiaoli's shoulders, elbows, and wrists.
As he expected, Xiaoli had already come into contact with the cultivation method.
Maybe it was his father who asked her to practice.
It's just that this kind of practice is not purposeful, it is just for strengthening the body.
If the descendants of many warriors are unwilling to practice martial arts, they will be taught some techniques to strengthen their bodies.
Xiaoli probably thought this was just a way to strengthen the body.
But in fact, the level of this skill is not low.
At least Xiaoli's current body has a good foundation as a warrior.
