"Don't you want to be known by the border guards?"
"Could it be..."
When Lin Qingmu heard this, cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back.
Although Jiang Li didn't say it clearly, how could she not hear the implication.
The Great Zhou Dynasty regarded itself as the supreme kingdom of Kyushu and had the air of a great nation.
Although it is at war with the Western Regions, Beimang, and Daluo all the year round, the trade flow of ordinary goods is not prohibited.
Those mysterious people hiding in the shadows must have mobilized a large number of people and spent a lot of effort to transport things out of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which must be no small task.
Moreover, it is definitely something prohibited by the imperial court.
Smuggling prohibited items out of the country is regarded as collaborating with the enemy. Once discovered, no matter the value of the goods, they will be executed.
"Girl, you must take this sachet and keep it from you at all times. This is a token passed down from our ancestors. It can protect the Zhenwei Escort Bureau and make it prosperous!"
"Lao Jiu, after this escort trip is over, we can take a rest, sell the escort agency property and return to our hometown to buy property, enjoy our old age in peace, and raise our grandchildren well. Our Lin family may not be able to give birth to a general who will shine on the family lintel and build a family! "
…
Some of his father's words before leaving home came to mind, and Lin Qingmu finally understood the meaning behind these words.
"Father must know something. How could he risk the lives of hundreds of people in the escort agency like this?"
Lin Qingmu felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, almost fainting on the spot, feeling that she was too embarrassed to face Jiang Li.
If all the speculations are true, she has committed the serious crime of collaborating with the enemy and subsidizing the country!
"Don't worry first. All this is just my speculation. Whether it is true or false, we will know after we take apart this wax bracelet!"
Jiang Li comforted softly. He took the wax bracelet and gently crushed one of them. A small ball of silk as thin as a cicada's wings immediately fell down.
Jiang Li spread out the silk, his gaze fell on it, his expression instantly froze, and Lin Qingmu's face turned ashen.
"Linghe Fort? The Murong family, the surviving family of the former Wei Dynasty!"
Hundreds of small words on the silk fell into his eyes, and Jiang Li felt huge waves in his heart, sighing that he was so lucky!
If it weren't for chance, intercepting this wax bracelet would surely become a nightmare for the Zhou sergeants once it fell into the hands of the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty in Beimang.
Not only was Emperor Jing's Northern Expedition in vain, it also laid hidden dangers for the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The silk in his hand is a secret letter written by Linghe Fort, one of the ten major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty in Beimang.
Jiang Li relied on this letter to quickly deduce most of the truth about the matter.
Five years ago, a disciple of the Linghe Fort Sect went out for a trip and accidentally obtained a secret map of medieval ruins and handed it over to the sect.
The elders of Linghe Fort deciphered the map of the secret realm and concluded that this secret realm was the dojo of the Jiaohe Sect, a Qi-lineage sect in the medieval times.
After several years of searching in Linghe Castle, they finally discovered the location of the ruins. After breaking into the secret realm, they obtained a complete Qi Meridian inheritance from the medieval era, as well as many Qi Meridian treasures.
The half of the Tyrant Crane Picture that Jiang Li obtained from Jiang Xinyu was one of them.
As if they had found a treasure, Linghe Castle brought the inheritance of Qi Meridian back to the sect and selected the strong ones in the sect to try to practice it. The result was unexpected.
The Qi Meridian Kung Fu of the Jiaohe Sect is extremely mysterious and unparalleled in power. The speed of cultivation at a low level far exceeds that of the Martial Meridian.
If the full power of the Qi Meridian Technique can be exerted, it can even crush the martial arts inheritance of Linghe Fort.
Unfortunately, Linghe Castle only found the inherited skills of the Jiaohe Sect in the ruins, but there were no corresponding weapons or medicines.
If an ordinary sect obtains the Qi Vein inheritance, they will definitely keep it secret, secretly explore the forging and refining methods of Qi Vein components and precious medicines, and slowly map it out.
But for some unknown reason, the leader of Linghe Castle took part of the Qi lineage inheritance and took the initiative to cooperate with the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty and the Murong family.
In addition to the one crushed by Jiang Li, the bracelet escorted by the Zhenwei Escort Bureau also contains eleven wax pills. What is hidden is a complete set of basic Qi meridians training methods, and seven for auxiliary purposes. Medieval secret medicine for Qi channel practice.
If the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty obtained the Qi Meridian Cultivation Technique and promoted it immediately among the Beimang army, the strength of the Beimang army would be doubled within a few months.
"What is the purpose of Linghe Castle? Qi vessels and precious medicines are important, but they are only external things. Only the complete Qi inheritance is the foundation for Qi cultivation to last forever in the world and strive for supremacy in the world!"
"Providing your Qi pulse cultivation method on your own initiative just to obtain the refining methods of precious medicines and Yuan weapons, what is the difference between this and buying a coffin for a pearl!"
Jiang Li was full of doubts.
He recalled the pictures of the Tyrant Crane that Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Xinbai carried with them, and suddenly he had a suspicion.
The two women returned to Shengjing directly from Linghe Castle. They carried the inheritance of Qi, but were they to be handed over to Jiang Shirong?
Linghe Fort has a close relationship with Zhenwuhou.
Does Jiang Shirong know the plans and plans of Linghe Fort?
"Brother Jiang Li, what should I do? This string of wax pills has a lot to do with it. Even sitting in the Nine Clans is a light thing!"
Lin Qingmu on the side was worried, worried about the lives of everyone in the Zhenwei Escort Agency.
"Zhenwei Escort did make a mistake, but fortunately it didn't make a big mistake. If the imperial court could know the layout of Linghe Fort in advance, eliminate Linghe Fort's plot in one fell swoop, and gain the inheritance of Qi, it would be a happy event for the Great Zhou Dynasty! "
Jiang Li patted Lin Qingmu's little head and said with a smile: "Even if we are too late to stop Linghe Fort's move, as long as the Qi inheritance in this wax pill is handed over to the court, at worst it can offset Bei Mang's advantage in obtaining Qi inheritance. I think Emperor Jing will not severely punish Zhenwei Escort Agency!"
"Brother Jiang Li, are you telling the truth?"
After Lin Qingmu heard this, she reluctantly cheered up.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin, I will explain everything to the Holy Spirit and try my best to remove the faults of Zhenwei Escort Agency!"
Jiang Li nodded and said: "But our top priority now is to leave Lishan safely, go to the nearest county government, and report the matter to the court!"
"Are you leaving now?" Lin Qingmu was a little anxious.
"The wax pill bracelet is on you. People from Linghe Fort must still be searching for your whereabouts nearby. It's not safe to go out now!"
Shangguan Qingyan walked out of the jade hut and returned to her usual cold and indifferent appearance.
"Mo women, stay away from us!"
When Lin Qingmu saw Shangguan Qingyan, she immediately clenched her dagger in her hand with murderous intent in her eyes.
"She is right. This matter is related to the future of Spirit Crane Castle. There must be many Spirit Crane Castle experts lurking and searching near the exit of the Secret Valley!"
Jiang Li said slowly: "Linghe Castle is one of the ten major sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is both Taoist and martial arts masters. There are many masters of Yiwu Realm and Ten Thousand Fu Realm under our sect. With our current strength, it is difficult to escape safely!"
"Give up the idea of going out in the near future. Yingying, the chairman of the Linghe Castle Sect, is a master at the peak of the divine transformation realm. Her Taoist realm is also above the divine manifestation. She is known as the invincible under the martial saint. If she were here, we would probably be There is no escape!”
Shangguan Qingyan sighed: "Unless one of us can advance to the realm of divine transformation, even if you have the magic sword to kill people, I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat her. After all, she didn't come alone. She is in the realm of divine transformation in Linghe Castle. There are many master figures, and as long as they trap you for a moment, she will be able to kill you instantly!"
"What? Then our Zhenwei Escort Agency is hopeless?" Lin Qingmu was shocked when he heard this.
"There is no need to be so pessimistic. If I can advance to the seventh state of Qi Meridian, I will be at least 70% sure that I can leave this place!"
Jiang Li stood up and jumped into the lake. After a while, he dragged two silver-scaled dragon fish ashore, "You guys can rest in peace and recover and practice. Once I break through the Xiang Qi realm, leave here immediately!"
After Jiang Li briefly warned the two of them, he came alone to the jungle deep on the lake shore and sat cross-legged.
He pinched open three small wax pills, and a faint medicinal fragrance hit his nostrils. Just by sniffing them lightly, the true energy in his body began to stir faintly, and the speed of the meridians running along his body suddenly increased a few points.
"When the Qi pulses advance like Qi, the power of Yuan Qi contained in the body will inevitably increase sharply, and the power of the Tiangang supernatural power will also increase significantly. Even if a martial artist in the Ten Thousand Realm realm is trapped by flying sand and rocks, it will be difficult to break free!"
Jiang Li put three cyan secret medicines for Qi into his mouth, slowly swallowed them and refined them. Wisps of pure medicinal power flowed out from the secret medicines, accelerating the circulation of Qi in his body, widening his meridians, and increasing his Qi volume.
For the next three days, Jiang Li kept sitting cross-legged, and his spirit entered a state of silence, emptiness, grandeur and profoundness.
In the surrounding space, countless Yuan Qi energy floated toward him, fell into his body, and disappeared. In the process, the true energy in his body also continued to condense and improve.
"Miss Lin, Jiang Li has great potential and has many methods that I can't see clearly. But after all, he is only a young man who has just started practicing. No matter how amazing and talented he is, it is difficult for him to be as famous as the master of Linghe Castle. Competing with long-lasting characters!”
Beside the lake shore, Shangguan Qingyan slowly chewed the white, refreshing, juicy fish meat. Since that day when she and Jiang Li "accidentally collided" with each other in soul and body cultivation, her internal injuries have basically healed.
In the past three days, after taking the silver-scaled dragon fish, all the hidden injuries were gone, and her physical realm had also improved slightly. If possible, she really wanted to keep cultivating here until she reached the peak of the divine transformation realm, and then leave here to seek opportunities for sainthood.
"I believe brother Jiang Li can do it!"
For the past three days, although Lin Qingmu had been following Jiang Li's orders, practicing martial arts and eating meat by the lake shore, his eyes had never left the dense forest deep on the lake shore, his eyes full of expectation.
Shangguan Qingyan didn't say much when she saw this.
She followed Lin Qingmu's gaze into the dense forest, her eyes swaying slightly, then lowering her head, chewing the fish meat silently.
Suddenly.
As if she noticed something, Shangguan Qingyan suddenly raised her head, and the green dagger that had been beside her rose into the air, and turned into a ray of green light and shot into the lake.
The surface of the lake was calm, without any ripples, but wisps of bright red slowly rose from the bottom of the lake.
In the lake, more than a hundred silver-scaled dragon fish moved in search of food. They rushed in from all directions, gathered in a group, and fought for each other crazily.
The calm lake surface boiled again, and more blood spread out.
"What happened?"
Lin Qingmu quickly looked back. In the depths of the lake, hundreds of fish were vying for food. There were even bright sword lights and sharp daggers sweeping in, knocking away the dragon fish.
Below the school of fish, dozens of black shadows dived rapidly from the depths of the lake, and finally jumped out of the water, revealing mysterious figures wearing black cloaks.
"You are indeed here!"
"What a secret place in the world, a paradise, and you accidentally stumbled upon it and found such a treasure!"
"Lin Qingmu, hand over our escort!"
Dozens of figures rushed out of the lake with shocked expressions on their faces. They were obviously shocked by the scene in the valley.
However, after seeing the two women by the lake shore, the cloaked people did not hesitate at all and swooped down towards the two women.
"Three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers!"
Shangguan Qingyan shouted coldly in a low voice, and a five-foot brocade silk belt flew up from her waist, turning into dozens of long brocade horses and rolling toward everyone.
The green dagger flew back from the lake and was held in her hand to fight against the cloaked man who had landed.
She was a master of both Taoism and martial arts, and was powerful, but she was not a master of the Divine Transformation Realm after all. Three cloaked figures from the Yiwu Realm rushed close to her and immediately surrounded her, forming a suppressive force.
On the other side, two men in cloaks of the Ten Thousand Realm realm had landed next to Lin Qingmu, reaching out to grab her.
"The people from Linghe Fort actually found this place. It seems like they are really going to die here this time!"
Shangguan Qingyan was unable to rescue her, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
Linghe Fort sent out more experts than she expected.
Among the first few dozen people who entered the Secret Valley, there were six Yiwu Realm martial artists, more than ten Ten Thousand Fu Realm martial artists, and even Taoist masters hiding among them.
With such strength and configuration, she and Jiang Li simply could not handle it calmly.
And as time goes by, more masters from Linghe Fort will definitely come.
"Roar"
At this time, in the dense forest deep on the lakeshore, the sound of dragons and apes roaring suddenly sounded.
Within a radius of more than ten miles, Yuan Qi's energy surged and trembled.
Deep in the dense forest, the trees trembled, the wind, rain and thunder roared loudly. A red dragon emerged from the clouds and mist. The dragon's tail swung and flew away the two Ten Thousand Master Realm warriors who rushed to Lin Qingmu's side. .
There was even a giant golden shadow leaping down from the sky, holding a giant tree as thick as a bucket and sweeping across thousands of troops. It was actually a zhenqi divine ape that was about ten feet tall.
