Fang Zihang and Liu Xin also separated at an intersection, but Liu Xin was in no hurry, and it was not the time to take action.
Xiaoqi followed him just to find out about Onijiro Omura and see where he lived.
Xiao Qi will leave marks along the way, and Liu Xin can easily find them.
Letting Xiao Qi take action was also to test the effect of his cultivation after being exposed to the First-line Spear recently.
Xiao Qi did not use a spear when fighting against the Thief Saint Kongkong.
Because although Xiao Qi was angry, to Xiao Qi, this level was considered a joke at best.
Liu Xin walked, thinking in his mind.
Even Japan, a small country on a far island, came to pay homage to Zhengyang. You must know that although this small country is small, it has some ambitions. It has shrunk in a corner and has not appeared on the land of Zhengyang for decades.
Therefore, Liu Xin believes that the emergence of Japan must be extraordinary.
I don’t know if there is anyone else behind Omura Onijiro, and what is the purpose of taking out the armor at this auction.
Xiao Qi is fast enough, and has Fang Zihang as his protector, plus he is secretly protecting him.
Liu Xin believed that no one in Taiyuan City could threaten them.
Without leaving Luoshen Villa, he would not be afraid of other forces and people, even if a few middle-rank adults surrounded him.
At least, I still have the confidence to break out.
To be honest, after returning to Jianghu, Liu Xin felt that he had become more courageous.
There were too many intrigues and intrigues in the court.
Although people in Jianghu are sinister, most of them will show their fox tail after hiding for a long time.
Japanese, Westerners, Northern Barbarians, Nanhai...
Zhengyang really has enemies on all sides. Zhengyin combined the words that the fourth senior brother said:
Ambush on all sides!
Now Liu Xin's first priority is to kill this Japanese man to see if the causal killing is really effective.
The second step is to find Liulang, and then help Dugu Xuanqing to settle the October 30th martial arts competition.
Then it’s time to set off for the South China Sea.
But now that he had met the people of the Liutian Sect, Liu Xin couldn't help but want to follow up and see how the Liutian Sect was doing now.
This can be regarded as a small knot in Liu Xin's heart.
But in the military camp at this time, a person finally dared to come in, and that was Thief Sheng Kongkong.
He directly found the head of the Linghu family, the one who entertained him in the first place.
"How's it going? Did the auction go well? How much did it cost?"
The chief officer said respectfully, without any trace of sloppiness:
"Excluding the commission, this is the number!"
The boss held out two fingers.
When Pirate Saint Kongkong saw the two fingers, his expression suddenly twisted together.
"Twenty million taels? This price doesn't seem to be enough."
"Well!"
The principal was choked. He thought that the other party would say something less, but he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be foul-mouthed.
Twenty million taels, isn't this equivalent to swearing?
Fortunately, the boss could keep his composure. He calmed down and said:
"Dear guest, you are joking, how can it be 20 million taels? This price can buy my entire Linghu family."
"Why should I buy your Linghu family? Are you strong? Can you beat the Kunli Sect?"
"Well..."
The principal was left speechless again.
When he was speechless, a young man came out.
It is Linghu Shicheng.
"This young hero is joking. Our Linghu family is kind to others and never goes against others.
Our Linghu family has accepted your treasure this time. I hope that next time, if there are similar treasures, you can come to our Linghu family.
As for this time, Manager Long will give this young hero an extra 10% profit! "
"Okay, Master."
Steward Long responded repeatedly.
After a while, Manager Long took twenty-two silver notes worth one hundred thousand taels and handed them to Thief Saint Kongkong.
Thief Sheng Kongkong took the bank note, thanked him and prepared to leave.
"Young hero, stop!"
Linghu Shicheng suddenly spoke.
The Thief Saint paid no attention to it, jumped out directly, and disappeared on the far wall in two breaths.
Even the lieutenants of the army did not react. Logically speaking, such actions are not allowed in the military camp.
It's a pity that Pirate Holy Kong Kong is too fast.
"..."
Linghu Shicheng stopped in place with a dull look on his face. He even straightened one arm and still maintained the previous action.
He quickly reacted and put down his hand, his face as gloomy as water.
He originally wanted to have a good conversation with the other party. According to his idea, he gave an extra 10% profit, which was 200,000 taels of silver.
How can we make the other party stay and have an in-depth exchange of ideas?
My mother was very interested in this Thief Saint Kongkong. To be precise, she should be interested in the forces behind him.
He did not believe that it could be done by one person to obtain something that Kunli Sect regarded as a treasure from the strict guard of Kunli Sect.
At least it has to be a huge organization, or even the method of infiltrating the Kunli Sect.
I originally thought that Thief Sheng Kongkong was not very young, so he, a young man, came up to show his kindness first, and then got close and had a chat. It would be the best thing if he could make friendship.
His mother told him that if he could do this, his status in the family would be even higher.
The sequelae caused by dealing with that waste will be alleviated again.
But what I didn't expect was that Thief Saint Kongkong was so disrespectful. He just opened his mouth and the other party didn't even bother him and left directly.
It not only refutes his face, but also hurts his self-esteem.
As soon as he thought of this, murderous intent appeared on Linghu Shicheng's face.
"Has the incense been sprinkled on the banknote?"
Chief Long was surprised by Linghu Shicheng's question and nodded quickly.
This is a common practice in their industry.
To prepare for emergencies, it is not necessary to take advantage of others every time, but it is not too troublesome to use the corresponding means.
After much hesitation, Manager Long finally spoke:
"Master, we have made a lot of money this time. If our hands and feet are not clean and we are discovered, we will lose more than we gain!"
Linghu Shicheng sneered and said:
"Don't I know?
That kid just mentioned that he wanted to deal with the Kunli Sect. It seems that he and the forces behind him must have a grudge against the Kunli Sect!
Then we might as well sell this guy, maybe we can get some benefits from Kunli Sect! "
Chief Long thought for a while and wanted to persuade him again, but gave up.
I will tell my wife about this matter later and let her make the decision.
In fact, the formation catalog brought by Pirate Saint Kongkong this time not only made the Linghu family money, but the rubbings of the six formation catalogs are still with them.
These exercises and martial arts are the most popular among the forces involved in auctions.
Although according to the rules of the auction house, the auctioneer of this kind of skill secret book is absolutely not allowed to make private rubbings.
But how many people actually follow this rule?
Some powerful forces even hold auctions, retaining the originals and selling only the rubbings.
What's more, after a period of time, the rubbings will be auctioned off.
Originally, this kind of skill secret book was put up for auction, and 99% of it was from unknown sources, so there would be basically no future trouble.
As for the six formation catalogues, which have a larger background, the Linghu family can only use them privately, and they can be used blatantly without knowing it.
Seeing Chief Long leave the arrangement, Linghu Shicheng had a gloomy look on his face.
That loser had been a thorn in his side all these years.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t feel it or see it.
Unexpectedly, that damn waste would appear under his nose again.
This made him feel a sense of irritability that he hadn't felt in a long time.
This irritability and irritability directly caused his behavior to change.
He knew that Master Long would definitely tell his mother about this, but it didn't matter to him. He had grown up and he could do some things by himself.
Thinking of this, he strode away, preparing to go somewhere and meet someone.
And not long after he left, a servant of the Linghu family silently raised his head and looked at the direction in which the former left, with a cold look in his eyes.
The time soon came to evening.
Xiao Qi and Fang Zihang returned to the inn one after another.
"Senior brother has found the Japanese man's foothold.
Could it be that this guy discovered something? His whereabouts were erratic, and he made a big circle in the city before finally settling down. "
As soon as Xiaoqi came back, he poured himself a bottle of water.
This guy visited several places throughout the day and basically visited the entire Taiyuan City.
Xiao Qi could only follow him all the way down.
As for the Japanese man, he still had time to drink tea in the tea house and eat in the restaurant. Xiao Qi followed him all the way, not daring to eat or drink water.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi said angrily.
"Senior brother, if you hadn't insisted on finding that guy's foothold, I would have done it for him halfway.
This guy doesn't seem to be very vigilant. If we have to deal with him, it will be easy, at least simple! "
Seeing that Xiao Qi was a little distracted, Liu Xin couldn't help but look at Fang Zihang.
The latter is more stable.
Fang Zihang and Xiao Qi's tracking methods are a little different.
Fang Zihang basically judged the Japanese man's general route and then overtook him and waited for him in front of him.
When he saw the Japanese appear, he made another judgment and then set off early.
Repeatedly, it means that he is always in front of the Japanese people.
In this way, Fang Zihang basically had no interaction with the Japanese man.
And the physical energy consumed is only half of Xiao Qi's.
Liu Xin, who followed Xiao Qi along the way, consumed even less energy.
However, although little physical energy was consumed along the way, Liu Xin also consumed a lot of mental energy.
The Japanese people visited the entire Taiyuan City, and Liu Xin recorded in his mind the entire street route of Taiyuan City, as well as some buildings, passages, and even alleys and corners along the way.
He seriously suspected that behind the Japanese people, there might be another force hidden in Taiyuan City.
Otherwise, the other party does not need to be so careful and vigilant.
In addition to the tasks issued to him by the attribute panel, others did not have corresponding tasks, so it was impossible to kill him for no reason.
What is strange is that this Japanese man actually lives alone in Taiyuan City.
It stands to reason that since he can bring that set of honorary armor from Emperor Wu Yang's period to the auction.
Then at least he should have a group of people here.
But the actual situation is that after tracking him, we found that he lived alone.
Liu Xin checked the inside and outside of the inn where he lived, but did not see anyone suspicious.
Liu Xin saw no suspicious people, that is, there were suspicious people. With his attribute panel, everyone had no escape in front of him.
"It's still unclear where this Japanese man came from, but it doesn't matter, we will arrest him tonight.
After some torture, everything was revealed. "
"Liu Qian, I have a question and I don't know whether I should ask it or not."
"Since you said that, it's better not to ask."
Liu Xin suddenly used a meme that Fourth Senior Brother had used for them.
"Okay...okay."
Fang Zihang didn't expect that he would get this answer, but the next moment he saw Xiao Qi covering her mouth and saying with a smile.
"Brother Fang, my senior brother is just teasing you, don't take it seriously.
This is just a joke between our senior brothers. "
"root?"
Fang Zihang became even more confused after hearing this.
But Liu Xin soon gave him an explanation.
"Brother Fang, please ask."
Fang Zihang nodded, finally clarifying some of his brain circuits.
"Liu Qianshi, one thing I don't understand is why you care so much about this Japanese man?"
"You know, the situations I learn about are different depending on the level I come into contact with."
Liu Xin spoke and Fang Zihang nodded, knowing that what Liu Xin said was true.
Naturally, he also has his own channels. He knows that Liu Xin still has some energy in the imperial capital, especially at the level of military commanders.
Even the Duke of Qin, Tuoba Yunhan, wanted to accept him as his disciple.
"So I learned something that can't be considered insider information. It can only be said to be some faint concerns of the empire's senior officials."
"Worried? Is Zhengyang going to fight with Beiman again?"
Xiao Qi said, and Fang Zihang nodded subconsciously.
Because this is what he was thinking of.
Perhaps when most people in Zhengyang think that something big is about to happen, their first thought is for the Northern Barbarians to move south.
In the more than 400 years of Zhengyang Guozuo's life, the biggest dilemma he had encountered was the Northern Barbarians, and this was not the only time he encountered it.
More than four hundred years of constant entanglement with the Northern Barbarians have carved the hatred between them into their bones and blood.
But Liu Xin shook his head under the surprised gazes of the two people.
“There are foreign races from the west that have arrived in the imperial capital with powerful force.
He said it was an audience, but as soon as he arrived, he began to challenge him with force everywhere.
Today, the younger generation in the imperial capital has been beaten to pieces by their Western counterparts.
The Japanese people had not interacted with Zhengyang for a hundred years, but at this time they also came to see him strangely.
In addition, several cases I investigated in the Imperial Capital some time ago were all related to the Northern Barbarians.
Plus there are some problems in the South.
Adding all the above together, Zhengyang seems to be facing pressure from all directions.
It's just that some pressures haven't exploded yet, and some pressures are still in their infancy.
However, such a situation has never happened in Zhengyang's more than four hundred years. "
Although Xiao Qi and Fang Zihang don't know about the problems in the south, because Liu Xin will take them to the south soon, there is no need to hide some things from them.
Xiao Qi and Fang Zihang looked at each other. From Liu Xin's words, they both felt that a storm was coming.
“Zhengyang now not only faces external troubles, but also has many internal troubles.
The previous bandit rebellion in the imperial capital was a manifestation of internal worries.
The imperial court is preparing to solve the problem of bandits in order to resolve internal worries first.
Be prepared to fight against foreign aggression that may come at any time. "
Liu Xin's expression was very serious when he said this, and Xiao Qi also put away his usual relaxed look.
"If Zhengyang is really in chaos, Jianghu... won't be able to escape."
Fang Zihang suddenly sighed.
Liu Xin nodded and agreed:
"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned!"
"Then what should the Holy Sect do?"
Xiao Qi asked worriedly.
"It's okay, Master must have his own ideas.
Why else would we be sent down the mountain? "
Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Xin did not continue on this topic.
For He, these things are still too far away.
But what Liu Xin didn't realize was that he had unknowingly taken himself too deep.
It seems as if Zhengyang's national conditions have any important link to him.
Then Liu Xin quickly returned to the topic.
Kill the Japanese!
The main force this time is of course Xiao Qi.
Liu Xin also said bluntly that he wanted to see Xiao Qi's current strength.
Because what Liu Xin has to do next is very difficult and dangerous for the Japanese people in front of him.
If Xiao Qi is not strong enough to protect himself, Liu Xin will never involve him.
Although Xiao Qi is young, he is not stupid either. He has already thought of Liu Xin's purpose of doing this.
Therefore, his face was calm and calm, but he secretly vowed in his heart that he would show all his strength in front of his senior brother.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to help his senior brother.
There is no curfew in Taiyuan City, so at night, Taiyuan City becomes even more lively.
Originally, there were many martial arts warriors in this city.
The pressure from the Kunli Sect brought about by the treasure appraisal meeting held by the Linghu family only fell on the minds of a few people.
Some of these people have already chosen to leave Taiyuan City, while others have stayed together.
Others chose to believe the words of the Linghu family.
After all, he is also one of the tyrants in the world, so at least he will not deceive these casual cultivators.
Because only a small number of people are affected.
The atmosphere among the rest of the martial arts warriors was quite lively.
Today's auction in a restaurant in the city has a lot of treasures for the low-level warriors.
Even if you don't find any treasure, it is one of the best restaurants in Taiyuan City.
The Linghu family had already paid a deposit, so it was no big deal if they didn't use it. They simply took advantage of these low-level warriors.
Many people have never even been to such a high-end place in their lives.
Therefore, some of the popularity continues to this day.
Although everywhere in the city seems busier and busier than before.
But the area near the inn where Omura Onijiro lives is relatively deserted because it is located in a remote area, near several warehouses in Taiyuan City.
Those who will stay at the inn here are basically traveling merchants.
They transported the goods to a nearby warehouse, then found a nearby inn to rest, and would leave soon.
