When Xiaoli woke up, it was already evening.
Xuesheng ordered dinner to be delivered to Room A No. 2.
When the waiter came up to deliver the food, he lowered his head and quickly scanned the room with his eyes, trying to find some scenes he wanted to see.
But it is a pity that several people are fully clothed and look the same as they did at noon. The little girl is also lying on the bed well with the curtains down. But what can be confirmed is that the bed is very neat and there is nothing messy. of.
"Have you seen enough?"
Liu Li gave a cold drink.
The waiter in the shop immediately left in a hurry.
Xiaoli woke up leisurely, feeling that her head was a little painful and dizzy, but she could hear the soft drink in her ears clearly.
Why is it a female voice, not a master? A master!
She quickly opened the curtain and met Liu Li's eyes, who was looking over.
Liu Li saw Xiaoli waking up, and his face was immediately covered with a light layer of frost.
"Ah..." Just as Liu Xin was about to speak, he was pushed back by a cold gaze from Liu Li, who sat back down at the dining table. Xuesheng coughed lightly, stood up and left the room.
Liu Xinxin understood and immediately stood up to leave the room. Just before closing the door, he said to Xiaoli:
"Ahem, Xiaoli, this is your senior sister-in-law."
"Get out!" Liu Li raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily.
Xiaoli was about to call her "Sister Aunt", but she was frightened by the sound.
boom
When the door was closed, Liu Li's face changed instantly, with a trace of gossip and excitement appearing on his face.
She came to Xiaoli's bed, sat down next to Xiaoli, and said with a little excitement in her tone:
"Are you...really my nephew?"
Xiaoli nodded confusedly.
Outside the guest room, there is a verandah.
Liu Xin and Xuesheng came to the corridor and watched the sunset.
Xuesheng suddenly sighed and said:
"I didn't expect that after you came down from the mountain, you would be contaminated by the turbid atmosphere of the court in less than two months."
Liu Xin looked at him puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xuesheng rolled her eyes at him and said quietly:
"It's a lot of fun!"
Liu Xin waved his hands repeatedly, with a sullen expression on his face:
"I'm telling the truth, but the taste in your mouth has changed! I think you've just changed. Where did the aloof white lotus go? The worldly experience is not for you to learn those messy things."
"Don't say anything to anyone. In this world, if you go in and roll around, how can you not get a little tacky. Unless you never go down the mountain!"
"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense!"
"So you admitted it?"
"What the hell am I admitting!"
Liu Xin was furious, and raised his palm. Xue Sheng was not frightened at all, and immediately counterattacked. Their palms touched, and a gentle explosion of air rang out.
Liu Xin waved his sleeves, and Xuesheng dodged.
A powerful internal force flew out across the air, exploded in the air, and blew a strong wind on the street.
"Have you been promoted?" Liu Xin looked at Xuesheng in surprise.
Xuesheng looked invincible:
"Lucky luck!"
The corner of Liu Xin's lips curled up into a sneer, and he sneered: "You started taking medicinal baths before you were born. Such an achievement is nothing.
In terms of talent, your senior brother is still the strongest. Jianghu probably doesn't know that he is already at the Grandmaster level. He broke through to the Grandmaster level before he was thirty. If he said it, he might scare a lot of people to death. "
Xuesheng sighed: "Elder brother is truly the proud son of heaven, you and I are too far behind him!"
Liu Xin said dissatisfied: "After all, don't bring me in. I regard Senior Brother Youmo as a role model and work hard. What if I become a grandmaster at thirty too!"
Xuesheng glanced at Liu Xin and said: "It's impossible. It's not like you don't know the cost of being promoted to a grandmaster, senior brother. My father said that it is difficult for normal people to be promoted to a grandmaster. Those who can be promoted to a grandmaster must have a huge heart. power.
And the biggest driving force in the world is the word hatred. "
"Yes!" Liu Xin couldn't help but shudder as he thought of You Mo's miserable first half of his life. That tragic fate was far worse than that of an orphan like him.
The most miserable person in the world is a ghost. This was a joke Liu Xinxin made when he was young, but it is also true.
crunch
The door of Room A No. 2 opened, and Liu Xin and Xuesheng both turned around.
Liu Li had probably finished chatting privately with Xiaoli, and he opened the door to let them pass.
When the two returned to the room, Liu Li and Xiaoli were already holding hands and chatting softly. The relationship between the two seemed to have become extremely good all of a sudden.
There were tears in the corners of Liu Li's eyes, he might have cried just now.
I guess A Li asked about Xiaoli’s life experience, Liu Xin thought to himself.
After sitting down to eat, Liu Li let go of Xiaoli's hand and looked at Liu Xin threateningly:
"Brother, you must teach Nephew Nie well. If you treat her badly, be careful. I will know, hum!"
Liu Li raised his fist and signaled fiercely.
"Nephew Nie? Xiaoli, your surname is Nie?" Liu Xin looked at Xiaoli in surprise.
Nie Xiaoli glanced at her cheap master with some resentment, while Liu Li stood aside and said angrily:
"Brother, you don't even know the other person's full name?"
Liu Xin touched his nose in embarrassment: "I forgot, haha."
Liu Li rolled his eyes at Liu Xin dissatisfied, then coughed slightly and said solemnly:
"Let me solemnly introduce myself to Xiaoli.
Nie Xiaoli, the daughter of the deputy master of the Yuma Sect, was of extraordinary origin.
Cultivation level is small! "
"What, Xiaocheng Realm!" Liu Xin was stunned. He had just touched the root bone at noon. Although he had been exposed to cultivation, the six meridians were not connected, so he could not be considered Xiaocheng Realm.
"Could it be you..."
Liu Xin suddenly remembered something, looked at Liu Li and asked uncertainly.
Liu Li raised his chin proudly and nodded:
"It's me, it's me, it's me!"
Liu Li has strange veins and can help others practice. Both he and Xuesheng know this.
Xuesheng looked calm, and Liu Xin's shocked face gradually returned to calm.
Nie Xiaoli suddenly stood up, raised her wine glass, and said to Liu Li:
"Thank you, Senior Aunt, for helping me open up my meridians and wishing me to practice cultivation. I'll do it!"
After saying that, before Liu Xin could stop her, Nie Xiaoli had already downed a glass of wine. Then she poured herself another glass, raised it towards Liu Xin, and finished it in another sip.
"..." Liu Xin felt that this girl had the potential to become an alcoholic.
If you can't drink enough and still drink like this, you'll be unconscious again later.
As if he could see Xiao Jiujiu in Liu Xin's heart, Liu Li said:
"The meridians in Xiaoli's body are already smooth, so she may have been exposed to the practice method, but she didn't really get started.
Therefore, it is not difficult to open up the six meridians. Now that the six meridians have been opened, you can run Xiao Zhou Tian. Xiaoli's talent is actually very good. She has already found the feeling after I helped her run Yi Ge Xiao Zhou Tian.
After just two glasses of wine, as long as it lasts for two or three days, the alcohol will dissipate, and Xiaoli will never get drunk again! "
"Yeah, yeah...burp!"
Nie Xiaoli's cheeks turned red, she nodded repeatedly, and finally let out a small wine burp.
The next second, her expression suddenly froze, and she murmured at Liu Lida:
"Sister, I seem to have forgotten to operate Little Zhoutian..."
Liu Li looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"I really want..."
boom
Nie Xiaoli fell down on the table.
"Her alcohol is so bad!" Xuesheng sighed in surprise. Such people are really rare.
On the Huaiying Pavilion, the lanterns are starting to rise.
There is no big boss booking the Huaiying Pavilion tonight, and no one is qualified to be on the top floor of the Huaiying Pavilion.
Therefore, tonight the top floor of Huaiying Pavilion was reserved by the owner of Huaiying Pavilion, and he was drinking alone.
"There's no moon to be seen tonight." A middle-aged man wearing silk clothes raised his glass to the moon and sighed.
"My boss, you seem to be in a bad mood tonight?" The shopkeeper of Huaiying Pavilion was waiting attentively.
"Old Chen, I found the person I was looking for!"
The shopkeeper of Huaiyingting showed a surprised look. He knew that his boss had been in the imperial capital for almost half a year and all he wanted was to find someone.
But he didn't know who it was, and he wasn't qualified to know.
Linghu Yu, the owner of Huaiying Pavilion.
Known as "Fierce Horse" by people in the world of martial arts
He is the master of the Beast Control Sect of the Righteous Sect.
The Beast Control Sect has magical means that can drive away insects and tigers, and is quite powerful.
Each warrior of the Beast Control Sect may have countless insect beasts to drive, often fight beyond the level, and have extremely strong personal combat power.
It's just that because it is difficult to get started, there are not many disciples of the Beast Control Sect, and there are even fewer people traveling in the world. Over time, this sect has gradually been forgotten.
It's just that this kind of forgetfulness was actually done intentionally by Linghu Yu.
"Congratulations to the boss for finding the person you are looking for!" the shopkeeper of Huaiyingting said with cupped hands.
Linghuyu shook his head slightly:
"It's better to not find it than to find it. There are some things that are far more uncomfortable to know than not to know. Okay, you go down, and don't come up if you have nothing to do!"
The shopkeeper of Huaiyingting bowed in response and slowly retreated.
The night breeze was cool, Linghuyu suddenly raised his head and looked at the veil-like clouds in the distance, where a black shadow quickly enlarged.
Linghuyu smiled, picked up the wine bottle, and poured it into a new wine glass.
The black shadow fell to the ground silently, and his robe was rolled up and thrown to one side, revealing Lian Subo's figure.
After Lian Subo sat down, he picked up the glass of wine he had just poured and drank it in one gulp. He clicked his tongue twice and sighed:
"Huaiyingting's Sophora Flower Wine is truly worthy of its name. It's such a good wine!"
Linghuyu poured him another glass, and Lian Subo didn't hesitate to pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
“Good wine!”
After giving another compliment, Lian Subo put down his wine glass.
"I've been in the imperial capital for half a year and you still refuse to see me. Why did you think of coming to see me today?"
A gecko crawled out of Lian Subo's sleeve, climbed up the table along his arm, and finally came to the back of Linghu Yu's hand. It spun around twice and stopped there.
Linghuyu carefully reached out and stroked the gecko's back gently.
"Because I found the person I'm looking for, but it's not convenient for me to come forward. It's more convenient for you because you have many connections."
Lian Subo raised the empty wine glass to signal, then placed it on the table.
“Always be sincere when asking for help!”
Linghuyu smiled but made no move and said:
"I poured you wine with the hand that touched [Dragon-Capturing Gekko], do you still dare to drink?"
Lian Subo's mouth twitched and he glanced at the ordinary gecko on the back of Linghu Yu's hand. Who would have thought that the toxins contained in this little thing were enough to poison a high-level Dacheng state. Even if it could not be killed, it would still be poisonous. Can be left half disabled.
"Since you know, you still let this little thing deliver the message. What if I accidentally bump into it and die on the way?"
Lian Subo poured himself a glass of wine and cursed angrily.
Linghuyu chuckled, pinched the tail of the little gecko and lifted it up. The little gecko was dangling in the air, motionless, letting Linghuyu play with it.
"Okay, let's get down to business!" After two glasses of wine, Lian Subo felt better and returned to business.
"Who can help?"
Linghuyu smiled and nodded: "I like your straightforwardness, unlike that guy Chi Yu who has to ask questions about everything."
Lian Subo smiled and did not answer the question. Chi Yu's eyes were everywhere. If he said something unpleasant, he would not be very thoughtful.
Linghuyu pointed to a wooden box on the table and said:
"I won't give it to you. After you finish drinking, you take the box away. It contains that person's information."
When Lian Subo heard this, he picked up the wooden box and opened it without hesitation.
There are two pages inside.
Lian Subo raised his head and looked at Linghuyu: "That's it."
Linghuyu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Didn't I ask you to take it with you before you leave?"
Lian Subo was puzzled: "Why do you have to take it with you before you leave? Let's see what happened now. Could it be that this person is your illegitimate daughter and your mother-in-law doesn't know about it? Are you afraid of being embarrassed? Don't worry, we all After so many years of friendship, I will definitely keep your secret!"
With that said, Lian Subo opened the page and read it carefully.
"Nie Xiaoli? That's not your last name either. What's going on?"
Linghuyu really had no idea what to do with this old friend. In order to stop his random guessing but couldn't get it right, he had no choice but to explain:
"This is my niece, and I am her uncle!"
Lian Subo looked up in surprise: "Have you found your sister's child?"
Linghuyu seemed to have aged a bit, and her originally straight back suddenly became rickety.
"Yes, I finally found it. It's a pity that I couldn't let her live a good life, nor can I let her children live a good life."
Even Sub Bo didn't know what kind of story Linghu Yu's simple words contained. He lowered his head and read it carefully, and suddenly he let out a light sigh.
Linghuyu quickly asked what happened.
Lian Subo said:
"Nothing, I just saw a familiar name. Your niece is actually involved in a person that the prince is concerned about."
Linghu Yu suddenly became interested and asked: "Who?"
The information on that piece of paper was all collected by him, and he knew the corresponding identities of the names on it.
Lian Subo said: "Qianhu of Jinyi Guards, oh, he is the deputy."
Linghuyu showed an interested look: "Is it the one named Liu Xin?"
Lian Subo nodded, indicating that it was him.
The next day, it was Baizhifang early in the morning.
Nie Xiaoli slept comfortably all night. When she got up, she remembered what happened yesterday. Her little face turned red with embarrassment. After having breakfast with Liu Li and the others in the morning, she returned home.
Several aunts asked her with concern why she stayed away all night, but because she was a grown-up girl and they had doted on their only child since childhood, they asked a few questions. Nie Xiaoli was unwilling to answer and did not ask any more questions.
Nie Xiaoli returned to her room, locked the door, and carefully took out a note from her sleeve.
Above is the address of Liu Zhai. If necessary, she can find it directly.
Liu Xin may be quite busy recently, so he asked Liu Li to tell Nie Xiaoli that after he is busy for a while, the sect should have a letter by then, and he will go to Nie Xiaoli.
Nie Xiaoli looked at the address on the note, and the joy and excitement in her eyes gradually faded away. Her face, which was blushing because of the aunts' inquiries, gradually returned to its normal color, and even became a bit paler.
The fingers holding the note were slightly white when they were pinched hard.
"Mom and dad, my daughter will definitely avenge you!"
Liu Xin returned to Liu Zhai very early last night. He didn't stay too long and rushed back to Liu Zhai after dinner.
Now that he has found Xuesheng, he must prepare for the upcoming competition.
The third senior brother has set the tone for the intelligence struggle between the two major sects, and he will give Emperor Wu City a good look from the beginning.
Therefore, Senior Brother Cheng stayed out all night and kept making arrangements. As long as there were people with enough weight in Emperor Wu's city, the Holy Sect would be ready to deal a severe blow to them.
Liu Xin wrote a letter to his master early in the morning, but Brother Cheng hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't send the letter out through the secret investigation team, so he had to put it away first.
After leaving the house, I first went to the Qianhu office for duty.
The bigger the official, the less things he does.
Ever since Liu Fu Ding Mingfu was promoted to a hundred households, he had nothing to do with his thousand households.
Unless there is a major case, he can already act as a hands-off shopkeeper.
But after he was on duty today, he directly issued two orders. One of them was to have someone contact the arsenal of Fusi in Nanzhen to get all the equipment under his command as soon as possible.
Because his Qianhu Institute is a brand new Qianhu Institute, the equipment is not fully equipped yet, including the captain-level standard embroidered spring knife and the standard short crossbow.
The chief flag officer and the small flag officer are equipped with a set of heart protection glasses.
Baihu has upgraded its standard equipment. Although it is still in the standard category, it can already be customized. The short crossbow was also replaced with animal tendons, making it more powerful.
As for Liu Xin, he replaced his quota of Xiuchundao with a stronger short crossbow. Because he already has the [Breaking Path] as a weapon, and he has the best in his hand, and I have it in the world. Even if it is the imperial-level Xiuchun Dao, he doesn't look down on it now.
In fact, this operation is allowed within Jinyiwei. Some people use the quota of short crossbows on knives, allowing the weapon refiner to additionally temper and strengthen the blade, or simply change the weapon.
Jinyiwei does not have to use the Xiuchundao. The Qianhu level means that you have the combat power of the Dacheng Realm. Each Dacheng Realm is good at different exercises and the weapons they can use are also very different, so here On one point, Jinyiwei is very user-friendly. As long as the quota remains unchanged, you can change weapons and equipment at will within the quota.
However, it takes a certain amount of time, and it is impossible to replace it anytime and anywhere.
It also takes time for craftsmen to build, polish and temper.
Liu Xin has already obtained the reinforced short crossbow. This type of short crossbow is called a repeating crossbow. It can fire three crossbow arrows three times in a row, or three crossbow arrows at the same time. It is powerful enough to hit Xiaocheng level with all its strength. It uses dragon tendon.
Equipped with twelve crossbow arrows, it can be quickly cocked.
For Dacheng realm warriors, it is considered a good weapon and equipment.
Another order is to step up training of newly recruited manpower.
At present, excluding civilian personnel, the number of Jinyi captains in Qianhu Institute has reached more than two hundred.
Although the number of expanded enrollment is not too large, Liu Xin wants quality, not quantity.
Even though Guo Yong and the others had good talk, Liu Xin did not want a pro-army boy under the age of thirty, he only wanted to be strong and strong.
