No wonder he dared to sneak into Beihai Customs alone. If Li Xiu targeted such a person, it would be difficult for him not to be discovered.
Li Xiu followed me from a distance. On the way, I entered three different stores, disguised in different appearances. Li Xiu felt that the other party was too cautious. To be cautious, Li Xiu also changed twice and changed two sets of clothes.
Finally, I walked to the courtyard of a village. This village is located in a remote area in the west of the city. Its appearance is not much different from the surrounding houses. The low eaves and high walls of blue bricks block the passage of pedestrians. All he could see was the roof inside. If we want to talk about some real differences, it is that the fence is relatively new, and the red paint on the gate was obviously just painted not long ago, and it was obviously renovated and decorated recently.
Wu Shi knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened a crack, and a head popped out from inside. The two exchanged a few words, as if they were exchanging secret signals, and then the man invited Wu Shi in. From then on, Wu Shi Never came out again.
Li Xiu was very patient and was not in a hurry to inquire.
Originally, Li Xiu suspected that Wu Xie had roots in the Bu Le Country. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to kill all the Jiang family in Baima Lake overnight with his own efforts. There must be an internal response. Therefore, Li Xiu asked Li Ruocheng to go to Baima. The county inquired, and there must be something fishy in that place. After all, if you do something bad in this world, there is no completely airtight wall.
What is my intention when I sneak into Beihaiguan alone this time? Is it for business or private matters? If it's for official business, it must be related to the upcoming siege battle, and he should be sabotaging it. If it's a private matter, that may not be the case. Li Xiu didn't want to give up this line easily, so he even put Yu Wanhe aside for the time being. If he hadn't discovered Wu Kill, the first person Li Xiu would have looked for was of course Yu Wanhe, because Yu Wanhe had the Three Corpse Techniques. traces of determination.
Who do I want to see here? Being so cautious and careful, the planning is definitely not small, otherwise it would not be consistent with his status.
What Li Xiu changed this time was an old man. At this time, he suddenly saw another old man passing by carrying a basket. Li Xiu's heart moved. This old man was not a simple man. He was definitely not an ordinary person. Li Xiu couldn't see it either. After thinking about it, I thought that the Beihai Pass was indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. However, it was definitely not an accident that this person "passed" here. Could it be the same as his purpose?
Li Xiu was never a passive person, and when he was about to walk up, the old man carrying the basket actually noticed Li Xiu and walked straight over. He looked like an old farmer who had been working for a day. When he came back from work, his back could not be straightened, walking seemed quite difficult, and his face was full of exhaustion.
"How is business, brother?" Li Xiu took the initiative to strike up a conversation and asked with a smile.
The old farmer said in a deep voice: "You are such an uneducated young man. At my age, I am not old enough to be your ancestor. Why don't you call your ancestors your brothers?"
"Huh?" The smile on Li Xiu's face became brighter and brighter. Looking at this situation, he was actually exposed. This man's cultivation level was definitely not inferior to his own, and he still wanted to kill me. Li Xiudao: "Friend, what you said is wrong. In our generation of cultivation, those who are masters come first. Although I am younger, I can give you enough face by calling you brother."
The old farmer said: "From your tone, are you trying to spar with a worthless old man like me?"
Li Xiudao: "It's unnecessary to make gestures. Victory and defeat with one sword and one sword is the routine of ordinary people. You can see through my flaws just because I play the wrong role. If I play a young man, I'm afraid you may not be able to." see through."
Regarding this point, the old farmer actually did not deny it and said: "You don't want to take action. It seems that you want to discuss the truth with me."
Li Xiu said: "I would like to ask for advice if I have the chance, but now is not the right time. You don't have to guess where I am from. You can't see me, but I can see you, haha!" After Li Xiu finished speaking, he stopped lingering. , turned around and left.
After Li Xiu left, the old farmer's eyes suddenly condensed. He saw a word left on the ground at some point. It was obviously left by Li Xiu unknowingly just now. That turned out to be the word "horse".
The old farmer erased that word, continued to carry his basket, and moved forward slowly. After a while, he stopped under an old tree. He seemed to be tired from walking, so he sat on the ground and smoked a dry pipe.
"Old man, your star fruits are not fresh anymore. Can you make them cheaper? I'll buy three kilograms." Occasionally, passers-by came forward to buy the remaining fruits in the old farmer's basket.
"Okay, a pound is sold for fifteen coppers elsewhere. If you can talk, I'll sell you three pounds for forty coppers!" The old farmer has already brought himself into the role, not just in appearance, but in him. He has reached the point where he is an old farmer himself.
The old farmer was about to get the scale, but he found that the smile of the young man in front of him seemed to be quite joking. The old farmer's face sank and he said: "Young man, you do your thing, and I will do my job. Well water If you don't want to offend me, if you want to have a hard time with me, how about we make an appointment to have a fight outside the city at three o'clock tomorrow?"
"Old man, are you talking to me? What a fight, I'm here to buy star fruit." The buyer looked puzzled.
"Since you know my origin, you must be aware of current affairs!" The old farmer said this, took a puff of dry tobacco, opened his mouth and spit out a column of smoke, which turned into a sharp sword and went straight to the buyer's face.
The buyer trembled, and a breath mask appeared, turning into a disk. The smoke pillar and sword were sucked into the disk and turned invisible.
This buyer, if not Li Xiu, who else could he be?
"So it's you?" The old farmer also recognized Li Xiu's true identity.
Li Xiudao: "Since you are the one who said that the water in the well should not interfere with the river, I hope you won't get in the way later. Otherwise, I don't care whether your surname is Ma or not. For a person who has been dead for many years, it will not hurt him to die again!"
The old farmer said: "Young man, everything comes on a first-come, first-served basis. I have been secretly investigating here for three days. It would be too aggressive for you to want me to leave as soon as you arrive."
Li Xiudao: "You are already old, so let me go and find out the details first, lest you die in a bad way. There are seniors and juniors in your Ma family, and they still count on you to take charge."
The old farmer said: "What you did in Tianshui City was not hidden from my eyes. I never thought you had such a level of cultivation. Since you want to show off, I won't stop you. Please do as you please!"
"There is no grudge between you and me. The general trend is that we were just trying to find a way out in Tianshui City that day!" Li Xiudao: "It's better that you invite me first!"
The old farmer stared at Li Xiu for a long time, and finally without saying anything, he got up and left carrying the basket.
Li Xiu had lived in Tianshui City for so many days, and it was impossible not to find out the details of the Ma family. The Ma family was more than a little stronger than the Jiang family in Baima Lake. The family raised several elders with golden elixirs and great perfection. . This is only the strength on the surface. The ancestor of the Ma family appeared in Tianshui City. His strength is among the first-class masters in the world of immortal cultivation today. He is the leader in the realm of Lingji. In particular, he has integrated the fate of the country and the fate of the Ma family and has cultivated Dafa. With his body, his strength is immediately comparable to that of the top monks. But after all, the ancestor of the Ma family took advantage of the situation to rise, and there are still flaws. Being able to compete with the top monks does not mean that he can still have the strength of a top master after leaving Shangbei County. The real number one master of the Ma family is a man who was born more than 40 years ago. Ma Xingkong, the prime minister of the country who died shortly after Shangbei County was taken out of Dayuanzhou, was one of the leaders who led the people in Shangbei County to surrender.
The Three Corpse Transformation Technique created by Li Xiu is very unique in terms of luck. He has already figured out that in addition to the ancestors of the Ma family, there are other experts in the Ma family. Otherwise, Ma Tiancheng's Zhenbei Hou would not be able to sit there. Steady, if he did not have strong strength and only relied on the three mountain monks, I am afraid that Ma Tiancheng would have been ignored and became a puppet prince.
However, Li Xiu never expected that he would meet Ma Xingkong here. It seems that the Ma family's huge business has been able to survive to this day, and Ma Xingkong doesn't know how much pressure he has secretly withstood.
Li Xiu made it clear with words, and Ma Xingkong did not argue with Li Xiu anymore and chose to retreat temporarily. Ma Xingkong does have a big business. Entering Beihaiguan alone is a risk. What happened before him is even more of a mystery. If he wants to find out clearly, he must take the risk himself. As for Ma Xingkong, Tianduyuan and other big It doesn't take much thinking about the relationship between General Fu and others. A person who pretends to die to get rid of a certain cause and effect is obviously at odds with people in the devil's path.
Like me, who can't deceive the secret of heaven? Therefore, Li Xiu's three corpse spells are all ineffective, and only his true body can be involved in order to gain insight into the crisis and remove all obstacles! The consequence of the real body's participation was that the danger doubled. Although Ma Xingkong didn't understand the purpose of Li Xiu's trip, he gave up to Li Xiu as the first person to pick a hornet's nest.
Ma Xingkong retreated temporarily, leaving Li Xiu free and finding an inconspicuous position to continue watching.
As the night progressed, Beihai Customs closed down the lighting array one after another. Only some important road sections still had a faint light on the ground, and some military camp hubs and avenues in front of wealthy mansions had some glowing trees. Obviously the craftsmen who built Beihaiguan also planned the night inside. What should we do if the enemy attacks at night? In the dark, even the monks would inevitably get confused, so they prepared a large number of luminous stones or moonlight treasure trees. However, Li Xiu's eyes were completely swallowed up by the night. This area was obviously a residential area for mortals. The precious luminous stones and It is impossible for the Moonlight Treasure Tree to serve these people, not even during wartime.
Everyone is closing their doors. Although the weather in Beiguan is not as bad as that in Beiminghai, and there is no heavy snow to close the city, the early winter is approaching, and the cold wind is also bitingly cold. How can these mortals endure it?
Li Xiu was as cold as a stone at the moment, with no human characteristics at all. Even if he left and came back, if he didn't get closer, he wouldn't be able to find a living person standing here.
"After the catastrophe of heavenly punishment, although it should not be a thunder catastrophe in the traditional sense, my cultivation has been much more stable!" At this time, Li Xiu had his own confirmation. Although the catastrophe of heaven was not full, it was still very important to Li Xiu. The tempering of cultivation is also of great help.
At this moment, a pedestrian suddenly appeared on the deserted street. This person was walking against the wall, looking around. When walking, his toes landed on the ground without making any sound. Although it was night, Li Xiu could see clearly. This man has sinister features and a short stature. At first glance, he looks like a thief. However, Li Xiu raised the corner of his mouth. It turns out that the strongest has his own. Everyone who comes here is a master of disguise. This person's disguise skills are not inferior to Ma Xingkong.
The thief didn't go through the main entrance. He seemed to be targeting the house I entered. He thought he had some money to steal, so he climbed over the wall and entered.
"This person smells so familiar!" Li Xiu secretly suspected, and the result turned out to be the Nineteenth Highness. This was beyond Li Xiu's expectation. The Nineteenth Highness, a noble prince, actually disguised himself as a thief. Who could have imagined it?
After a while, a two-person soft sedan came slowly from the other side of the street. The person carrying the sedan was not a monk, but a hard laborer. He was obviously a temporary hire. This soft sedan went through the back door. Li Xiu quietly In the silent induction, the person who got off the sedan could be seen clearly. This man is a young man, less than thirty years old. He is well-dressed and quite handsome. However, there is a feminine air between his eyebrows and a flower in his hair. He is afraid that others will not know that he is a playboy. . This man's cultivation was not as good as His Highness Nineteenth. He could not correct his bone shape and could only move his facial muscles. Li Xiu saw his true appearance.
