Hao Lianfeng's eyes were wide open, but he suddenly remembered that Youzi Jinai had a spiritual root. Logically speaking, he had only had more than a year of experience since he was born. He knew some common sense, but there were also many things he didn't understand, so he patiently explained: "The Governor's Mansion is the Tianfu The government office located in Longzhou is responsible for all affairs such as government affairs, military affairs, and people's livelihood in a state."
You Ziji wrote these things down, "It sounds like a much older official than a county guard. Uncle Hao, what is the official position of Sima?"
"Sima is under the governor's jurisdiction and specializes in managing the army. You want to ask about He Sima, I remember. I remember you met him in Chong County. He really tormented your friends in Zi County."
You Ziji hadn't heard any news from Zijun for a long time, and he looked a little anxious, "Taoist Master He and the others are in danger?"
Hao Lianfeng comforted him: "It's not much of a danger, but it's a lot of trouble. But it's all what officials have to go through. You have to believe that your friends can handle it well."
Seeing that You Ziji was uneasy, Hao Lianfeng patted his head, and injected some spiritual energy into You Ziji's Lingtai, which shocked him, and then reminded him: "Stop thinking wildly, and finish the things at hand first."
Hao Lian spread out the drawings he got from De Pong, pointed to a place and said: "This is a restaurant owned by the Ji family. It's called Jufulou. You can't see much from the front, but I have passed by the manor behind the restaurant. Logically speaking, it should be the property of Jufulou Tower, but it is not provided to guests. Instead, the elite of an army is stationed. Judging from their aura, most of the members are foundation-building monks, which are very difficult to deal with. If you are tracking down You must avoid this place if you encounter them, and don’t provoke them even if you give up tracking, otherwise I may not be able to save you in time.”
Zhang Xingwen was a little surprised, "Uncle Hao, what we are going to do next will actually alert the army."
The possibility of conflict with Tianfu forces, especially the army, would be a bit exciting for monks from any force.
Hao Lianfeng said with a smile: "I need you to go to Mingyue Villa to find out some information and come back. The most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of Ming Gong Ling Ming Changshi."
Xu was afraid that You Ziji didn't know what Chang Shi did, so he added: "He is probably the main force in our negotiations with the Ji family this time."
Yao Yi said excitedly: "This is a good mission, let's go right away."
She didn't hesitate at all, she just wanted to get away from Shan Zong as soon as possible.
Hao Lianfeng waved his hand to indicate that they could go. He turned around and saw that Bao Shan was a little confused and asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Bao Shan frowned and replied: "Disciple is indeed a little confused. Since we want to investigate Ming Changshi, why do we let junior sisters and junior brothers go? Such an undisguised past, doesn't it expose our purpose? Let the other party be on guard."
Hao Lianfeng said: "It's best to let them know."
Bao Shan was a little confused at first, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Master, do you want Ming Changshi to retreat when he sees difficulties?"
Hao Lianfeng was a little relieved, "The fact that you can think of this proves that you have really used your brain. We only know that Ming Changshi wanted to take the leadership of the Governor's Palace or the Ming family to form a perfect cooperation chain to support possible ambitions. We This move is to shock him and make him understand that Xuan Mingdao is going to be involved in this matter. In this way, even though we don't know his planning process, we can still achieve the goal of preventing them from continuing to contact the planners."
Bao Shan said: "Master, if Ming Changshi really intends to be an enemy, then wouldn't it be possible for our junior sisters and junior brothers to be in danger?"
Hao Lianfeng said: "Of course there will be danger, so why are you still standing here? Why don't you go and protect them secretly?"
…
Yao Yi was bored in Shanzong for a few days, and finally came out. She was like a fish entering the sea, free and completely letting herself go. She left behind what Hao Lianfeng ordered and went shopping and playing to her heart's content. Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji followed their senior sister. After a while, they became listless and their steps were heavy and they didn't want to move. Yao Yi was still full of energy, which was a pain for Zhang Xingwen.
Although You Ziji was anxious about the tasks arranged by Hao Lianfeng, he saw that Yao Yi was having so much fun and couldn't bear to disturb him. As for Zhang Xingwen, he directly became Yao Yi's shelves, with things hanging all over his body. You Ziji really couldn't help Zhang Xing. He was his junior brother, so Yao Yi naturally had to take care of him, so Zhang Xingwen had to suffer.
After shopping around all morning, Zhang Xingwen couldn't bear it anymore and suggested: "It's getting late, we should complete Master Hao's mission."
Yao Yi raised her mouth and said, "Do you know where to ask?"
Zhang Xingwen hesitated for a long time before he finally managed to say something, "Why don't you ask the people near Mingyue Villa?"
Yao Yi rolled her beautiful eyes, "It's so obvious that you're not afraid that people will find us?"
Zhang Xingwen said: "That's better than hanging around here."
"Wandering around? You are looking down on me too much." Yao Yi raised her eyebrows, "I have already roughly learned about the situation of Mingyue Villa through my communication with the merchants."
Zhang Xingwen said in surprise: "When? Why didn't we know?"
"If you go shopping the way you do, you will only see a ghost if you know it."
Zhang Xingwen apologized quickly, "Sister, please don't be like me. If you get any news, please tell us."
Yao Yi looked around and saw that no pedestrians had noticed this, so she whispered: "It is said that the housekeeper of Mingyue Villa is also a member of the Ming family, but he is a distant branch. This is a fat job. This person has made a lot of money. I often go out to spend money at night.”
You Ziji's eyes lit up and he said, "We can tie him up as long as we ambush him at night."
Zhang Xingwen slapped his thigh and said, "That's it. I hope I can pry out some useful information from him."
Yao Yi was speechless for a while, "You two idiots, aren't you just trying to alert the enemy?"
You Ziji and Zhang Xingwen looked at each other and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Apart from the most direct method of stunning and interrogating, they could not think of any other suitable method.
Yao Yi looked around again to make sure no one was watching them, and then said: "I heard that Butler Ming likes to practice the most. Unfortunately, he has no talent. If he can do what he likes and give him some sweetness, I think he can get a lot out of him." The information is out. At night, you just follow my arrangements."
…
At night, the back door of Mingyue Villa was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar came out. Although he looked like a scholar, his hands were full of rings, either inlaid with jade or made of pure gold, all of which were valuable. Not cheap, but together they look very abrupt, like a nouveau riche.
In the attic in the distance, Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji cast spells at the same time, watching the position of Butler Ming with their eyes to ensure that they could always see his position.
"Someone has come forward from Mingyue Villa." Zhang Xingwen reminded.
Yao Yi replied: "He is finally here. Confirm where he has gone and we will set off."
I saw her disguised as a man, wearing a bungalow, like a street performer. You Ziji and Zhang Xingwen were also dressed similarly.
You Ziji listened to Yao Yi's instructions and used the Fu Feng technique to stir up a gust of wind that swept through the restaurants on both sides of the street. He heard everything Ming Butler went along the way. Combined with Zhang Xingwen's divine eye that could see through walls, The two verified each other's information and found out the exact address.
"Julan House, Tianzihao Room."
"Set off!"
Julanshe is not an ordinary place. It is a famous brothel. Most of them are Qinghuan. It is most popular with people who think highly of themselves. After all, Jianping City is full of businessmen who are full of copper. How can there be any literati? , but they are just arty people. But real money is the hard currency of this world after all, and no one has enough money to spare.
Although it is a romantic place, there are many thugs outside to prevent outsiders from causing trouble, but how can these arrangements stop You Ziji and the others.
They avoided eye contact, climbed through the attic, followed a maid around and around, hiding their figures all the way, and finally found the location of the Tianzihao room. They came closer, and You Ziji's hearing was so good that he heard all the flirting and flirting words inside, which gave him goosebumps all over his body.
When all three people came to the door, the conversation in the room was still clearly audible, and You Ziji was not the only one who could hear it.
"Qingzhu, don't you understand what I mean? As long as you nod, I will redeem you so that you can stay away from the place of right and wrong."
The man's voice was so disgusting that the three people outside the door stopped involuntarily.
But I heard a female voice in the room reply: "Ming Lang, you also know my thoughts. I think about running away with you all the time, but the eldest son of the Liu family keeps staring at me, and even told Mother Zhang that I can only serve him." He's alone."
"This is unreasonable. The Liu family is only a third-rate force in Jianping City. In terms of status, I am afraid that it is not as good as me, the housekeeper. Where does he have the courage to go against me!"
The female voice quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry, Mr. Ming. He is a cultivator after all. How can we here dare to argue with him."
After saying this, Butler Ming suddenly stopped. Although he could say fiercely that as long as he practiced cultivation, he could easily knock down the Liu family's boy, but in the end he did not have the courage.
Yao Yi outside the door was extremely happy. As soon as he dozed off, someone handed him a pillow, "If you want to practice, I'm here to help you."
So she gave the two junior brothers a look, and they understood each other, opened the door, and stepped in. After one stood on the left and the other on the right, Yao Yi stepped in and stood in the middle.
The two people in the house were immediately stunned when they saw the three people who suddenly broke in. They saw that the two people were disheveled, with half of their upper chest exposed. Yao Yi looked at the two of them with some disdain, then turned to look at Zhang Xingwen. Seeing that his face was as usual and he was not looking directly at anything, he felt very relieved and inexplicably happy.
Qingzhu, the Qingguo, seemed to have finally come to her senses, and opened her mouth to shout, but You Ziji slapped her throat with a palm, and the inner Qi pressed against her vocal cords, making her unable to make any sound.
"You, who are you?"
Butler Ming was first frightened when he saw You Ziji's palm skills, and then his eyes showed some yearning.
"We're here to help you."
Yao Yi imitated a man in a rough voice.
"Help me?" Butler Ming looked at the young but fierce-looking young man in front of him, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Yao Yi continued: "I heard that Butler Ming wanted to practice, so I came here to give you a big gift."
After hearing this, Butler Ming's eyes showed some hope.
"A few experts can teach me?"
Yao Yi nodded without hesitation, but Butler Ming couldn't believe it.
"Expert, are you sure it's possible? Others said they couldn't succeed when they met me in this situation."
Yao Yi said rudely: "Those are mediocre people, how can they know the secrets of cultivation." She knew that it was difficult for Butler Ming to believe it, so she wanted to do something successful to gain Butler Ming's trust directly. She waved to Zhang Xingwen, " Come give our Ming Guanjia a try."
Zhang Xingwen walked up to Butler Ming, stretched out his hand and injecting Qi into Butler Ming's chest with the palm of his hand.
People without cultivation qualifications will not be able to embark on the path of cultivation even if the Moon Watching Realm offers help. But it is easy for him to feel the existence of true energy. He can achieve this effect by slowly injecting true energy into his body.
So after Zhang Xingwen's true energy was injected into it, Butler Ming was shocked. Feeling the flow of true energy in his body, he sat in his mouth and murmured: "This is true energy, it's so wonderful."
Butler Ming soon regained his senses, and he said sternly to Yao Yi: "I can pay you whatever remuneration the master needs."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Butler Ming is too anxious. He is just letting you feel it initially, and it will gradually disappear."
Butler Ming was shocked. This feeling was so mysterious that he couldn't give it up. He said sincerely to Yao Yi: "Master, do you have a solution? I will definitely repay you afterwards."
Yao Yi said: "Of course I have a way. Those mediocre people you met before don't know the principle of how Qi works, so they told you that you can't practice. I have a pill here. You just need to take it and cooperate with my treatment. This will enable you to practice cultivation completely.”
At this point, Butler Ming backed down again, "I'd better think about it again."
Yao Yi knew that the sudden appearance of the three of them made the other party a little wary. Especially after examining his own value and finding that he was not worthy of being treated like this by others, Butler Ming would naturally start to guess. Maybe it's for the person behind him.
In order to dispel his resistance, Yao Yi said: "Don't worry, Butler Ming, if we can't get half of the reward, we won't ask for it. Besides, the effect of this medicine will last for some time, and it will take some time to slowly transform your body's meridians. Observe carefully. If you know some monks, you can ask them to verify whether you can practice. If you succeed, I will be rewarded. Don't worry."
Butler Ming was really relieved when he heard this. If he returned to Mingyue Villa and had help from the experts, even if he didn't pay, there would be nothing that these three people could do to him.
"Then there's Mr. Lao Gao."
Yao Yi nodded and gave the elixir in his hand to Butler Ming to take. The next moment, Butler Ming collapsed to the ground.
The three of them all smiled when their plan succeeded.
The Qingguo man named Qingzhu was also frightened by what happened to Butler Ming and passed out.
Seeing this, You Ziji didn't bother to talk to her. Together with Zhang Xingwen, he helped Butler Ming sit down on the chair. Yao Yi cast a spell on the side, similar to hypnosis, to wake up Butler Ming.
But he saw that Butler Ming looked confused, and it was obvious that he had not completely recovered consciousness.
Yao Yi asked the puppet-like steward Ming, "Do you know the whereabouts of Ming Changshi?"
Butler Ming made a mechanical voice, "I know."
"Where does he go every day?"
"Jufu Tower."
"do what?"
"Many businessmen came to him to discuss matters."
"Discuss?" Yao Yi was a little confused. He was obviously seeking to cooperate with the Ji family, but he was also entangled with others. Could it be that he was discussing how to carve up the Ji family? "What is his purpose here?"
"In order to celebrate Mr. Ji's birthday, let's talk about cooperation between all parties."
"How many guards are there around you?"
"A personal escort team of ten."
"Isn't there an army? Where did they come from?"
"Yes Yes……"
Butler Ming's voice suddenly stopped and he couldn't say another word. The next moment, shopkeeper Ming suddenly started bleeding from all his orifices and died directly in front of the three people.
Yao Yi's heart was filled with a haze for some reason, and she always felt like she had a bad premonition.
Zhang Xingwen on the side already had some ideas, and he immediately said: "Let's get out of here quickly."
You Ziji asked: "Why?"
Zhang Xingwen said: "Just after I asked about the army, Butler Ming died. It's hard not to think that the two things are related. If what I thought is true, the army will probably arrive here soon." .
After that, he picked up Yao Yi, who was still in a daze, jumped from the attic to the street, and ran away, with You Ziji following closely behind.
Their reaction speed was already very fast, but it was not enough. They only heard bursts of sound breaking through the air, and black figures formed a tight square formation and rushed here. They flew over the walls and walked straight forward, and they moved very quickly. They were obviously well-trained troops. .
They separated several people and flew up to the attic and found the housekeeper Ming who was dead there. At this time, all actions were completed quietly, so Ju Lanshe had not noticed anything strange yet. The monks in the army wanted to hide their identities and didn't want to make things worse. The sergeants waiting under the attic have already locked onto You Ziji and his party with their unique spells.
Originally, Zhang Xingwen didn't want to rely on magic weapons to fly in order to avoid being discovered by the hidden army. Who would have thought that the other party could directly sense the aura and was already rushing towards him. He would catch up with him soon, so he had no choice but to use his flying sword and flee out of the city. He had to make a bigger noise to attract Hao Lianfeng's rescue. As for running outside the city, of course it was to avoid directing trouble to Shan Zong.
At this time, Yao Yi had come back to her senses. She turned her eyes to one place and relaxed her frown. She said to Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji: "Junior brothers, let's set off for a circle outside the city. Come back, no need to fly with a sword."
This made Zhang Xingwen immediately stop drawing his sword, and asked with some confusion, "You may not be able to outrun the pursuers with just one pair of feet."
Yao Yi showed a bright smile, "Just believe me, it'll be okay."
Zhang Xingwen had no choice but to do as he was told. At worst, it wouldn't be a bad idea to die together with his senior sister.
You Ziji's ears twitched slightly, as if he heard something. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he lost his anxious mood and slowed down his escape.
There was indeed something wrong with the corner that Yao Yi was looking at just now. A majestic man walked out there, it was Bao Shan.
As he walked towards the pursuers, he muttered again and again: "What a keen girl, you have spotted me several times this day."
Bao Shan walked leisurely, seemingly walking very slowly, but each step could directly jump several feet. After a few ups and downs, he was blocking the path of the pursuers.
"Get out of the way, the governor's palace guards are handling the case!"
Bao Shan retorted loudly: "The guards of the Governor's Mansion go to the Governor's Mansion to take care of things. Why do they still care about me taking a walk at night?"
The monk leading the army was a Xuanjing monk. He was ruthless and unwilling to let Bao Shan go when he saw Bao Shan being so provocative. He drew out his sword and slashed towards Bao Shan's throat.
After all, this man is an experienced leader of elite soldiers, and his sword skills are very sharp. Although simple, he is more sinister. If it is a normal swordsmanship, after making the move, you have already thought of the second move to use to fend off the opponent. But the military's sword skills are unstoppable. It's not that there is no room for his sword skills, but it is simple and practical, and can be done in one go. No matter how many changes he makes, he can execute them like lightning.
Fortunately, Bao Shan was not mediocre. He raised a sword made by the Ji family to parry. Not only did he deflect the opponent's sword, but he also continued to strike with the sword, gaining the upper hand.
The skills contained in Taiqing's secret book are of course easy to use, and are most suitable for this kind of close combat. As for the other party's cultivation, not only was he weak, but although his sword skills were proficient, he was not yet proficient in them.
Bao Shan stabbed the pursuer's chest with the sword in his hand. When the opponent wanted to retreat, he twisted the sword and directly removed the opponent's weapon. Before he could relax for a long time, the pursuers over there had already gathered and formed a small team.
The soldiers saw Bao Shan standing in front of them, and You Ziji and others had already disappeared, so they had no choice but to capture Bao Shan, who was suspected of being an accomplice, in order to report to Lord Chang Shi.
Bao Shan saw that the opponent's numbers were enough to form a military formation, so he did not dare to make a big move and began to retreat.
If the monks in the world talk about martial arts, no one can fight alone in close combat against more than ten times the number of soldiers forming a military formation. But if you use some magic from a distance, it will be different.
Bao Shan threw the flying sword into the air and transformed into a silver dragon, shuttling through the military formation and interrupting their cooperation.
The soldiers who had just assembled were immediately disrupted and unable to exert the power of the military formation. The silver dragon bared its teeth and claws among the ranks.
But they were elite troops after all. They raised their swords with murderous intent and high morale, showing their fighting spirit. I saw the aura of a group of people suddenly rising, and then using their sword skills to force the sword silver dragon out.
Bao Shan suddenly thought in his mind: "If Junior Brother You is here, can he use his own fighting spirit to control the other party's fighting spirit? If he can, then wouldn't the other party have made a wedding dress?"
Although he didn't have the will to fight, he could still give it a try. He took out a war drum and beat it, and the opponent's fighting spirit immediately began to become chaotic and lost its stamina.
Bao Shan laughed loudly, "Watch me punish you."
