The moon hung high in the sky, the stars in the sky were shining, a city in the south of Qingyun City was blazing with bright firelight, and there were city guards running back and forth on the ground, making a mess.

Liu Yunlong, the captain of the city guard, commanded his subordinates to extinguish the fire in an orderly manner.

The soldiers actively cooperated, and within a moment, the fire was suppressed.

"Report to the captain, this fire has affected a total of three surrounding households, but fortunately, the subordinates have just investigated, this area has been bought by the Zhang family some time ago, and plans to build a big casino here, so the residents of this area have already been emptied, this fire should not have any casualties, the source of the fire is not known, so far it should need further verification, and now the fire has been completely suppressed, and it can be extinguished before dawn!" A soldier with a dirty face was offering his hands, standing in front of Liu Yunlong and reporting the situation.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Liu Yunlong nodded, and said absentmindedly: "Well, let the search and rescue team be careful, don't be careless, although this area does seem to be uninhabited, but it is also necessary to prevent accidents!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

The soldier was about to retreat, but Liu Yunlong suddenly stopped him.

"Let the ambulance team pay attention and stay awake at all times!"

When the soldiers retreated, Liu Yunlong's two thick eyebrows twisted together for the first time in a long time, and his face was a little dignified.

For some reason, he always felt as if something big was going to happen tonight......

Xiao family compound

Inside Fang Ling's house

Fang Ling sat quietly cross-legged on the bed, silently cultivating the reincarnation body decision, and every time he ran for a week, the surrounding aura would swarm in.

The faint moonlight shone on his face, adding a touch of mystery to the already handsome boy.

With a "whoosh", a black shadow rushed in through the window, as fast as lightning.

Fang Ling's ears shrugged, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he opened his eyes. At the same time, the aura that was swarming around also stopped.

"Coming?" Fang Ling tilted his head and looked at the tall figure in front of him.

Directly at the door of my house, I don't know when there was already a man in black wearing a black power suit and a masked face.

The man had short, neat hair, and from his tight muscles, it was a man, and the muscles under his clothes could burst out with unimaginable power at any moment.

That's right, this person is the mysterious man named Xiao Yi who was sent by Xiao Feng to protect Xiao Yingyu before.

"I'm curious, why do you have to disguise yourself as a gentleman, with your intelligence, wouldn't it be loved to be a decent gentleman. Xiao Yi said lightly, his tone was cold, and he couldn't hear any emotion from it, as if a dead man was talking.

After looking at the ghost-like man in front of him, Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "What do you think of the Xiao family now?"

"The power is monstrous, and the prestige is famous!" Xiao Yi said crisply.

Fang Ling's eyes flashed: "That's right, just as Your Excellency said, the Xiao family has now become a behemoth that competes with the Zhou family in the military world, if I perform extremely well, then what will be the result, have you ever thought about it?"

Fang Ling looked at Xiao Yi, who was stunned, and shook his head helplessly: "Now that the emperor dragon wind has gradually begun to let go of his authority to the princes, the palace is like the sea, it seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, the major forces are fighting each other, and the struggle between the princes has gradually changed from a secret fight to an open fight." ”

"The co-optation between forces is becoming more and more obvious, to take the most obvious example, such as the banquet of the five princes tonight, if you look closely, you will find that in fact, the people on the list, except for the four princes, are all officials who are neutral and have not yet stood in line. The five princes have a clear intention, and today they borrowed the name of the ceremony, but in fact, they used the dancing girl to bewitch the ministers and win them into the camp. ”

Zhou Dingfeng has obviously been confused by the dancing girl of the Western Regions, and has taken refuge in Long Enhua, as the most effective heir to the position of the head of the family, this move is no different from tying the entire Zhou family to Long Enhua's warship. ”

"If I am not a dumb boy who has achieved nothing at the moment, but a righteous man who is as wise as a demon. So today's Zhou Dingfeng today, I'm afraid it will become my Xiao Yingyu tomorrow. Now that I am disguised as a gentleman, those people will naturally retreat in the face of difficulties! The Xiao family has also been able to get out of this huge whirlpool and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and no matter which side wins, they will never move the Xiao family when they first take office. Avoid criticism behind the backs of idlers!"

Xiao Yi glanced at him deeply, don't look at his calm face on the surface at the moment, but in fact, he was already shocked in his heart.

Although he had already discovered the wisdom of the young man in front of him before, he was still shocked by the most direct feelings.

"Why do you want me to help you!" Xiao Yi gradually expressed all the doubts in his heart.

When Fang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's not simple, the reason why I chose you is nothing more than three points!"

"First, since you sent you to protect me, it means that you are definitely a trustworthy person in every aspect, which is why I will tell you such a big secret!"

"Second, there is a master at the peak of the Earth Yuan Eightfold in front of me, if I don't know how to use it, then wouldn't I be too stupid!"

"Thirdly, and most importantly, that's because I really don't have anyone available except for you!" Fang Ling winked at Xiao and quipped.

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth couldn't help but conscure a few times, and a few black lines suddenly appeared on his head. Good guy, you made it clear that you were a make-up!

"The last question, what is the realm of your strength, how did you see that I was protecting you in secret, and how did you clean up that Liu Yuan and come back unscathed!" Thinking of this, a light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, this question was a doubt that he had been curious about since the beginning and couldn't figure it out until now.

"This is actually nothing, I'm the same as rumored, I don't have cultivation qualifications, the reason why I can see through your whereabouts is just that you are careless about the enemy, plus I have second-grade spiritual power. In order to make Xiao Yi feel more clearly, Fang Ling deliberately released his spiritual power unscrupulously.

Xiao Yi immediately felt a spiritual power like substance enveloping him. Then I felt as if my whole body had been looked at by tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. Hurriedly activated the Yuan Force in his body, forming a Yuan Qi Cover, isolating the other party's divine sense. Xiao had a surge of anger in his heart, almost breaking his state of mind that he had practiced for many years, and secretly swore in his heart that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely beat Fang Ling violently.

Fang Ling felt that it was almost enough, so he put away his spiritual power.

Xiao Yi still didn't give up and asked, "Then how did you catch Liu Yuan, with what I have observed, his true strength should be no less than the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, even if you have second-grade spiritual power, it shouldn't have much impact on him!"

"You don't understand this!"

Fang Ling shook his slender index finger: "Actually, a cultivator's direct struggle doesn't have to be won with strength, sometimes opportunism is a good method. ”

"Since the mastermind behind the scenes intends to murder me tonight, then in order to ensure that there are no accidents, a spy will definitely be sent to monitor my every move during the day, he does not know my details, and in the face of a gentleman, he will let down his guard, then I can use the power of my divine sense to observe him, so I will let you go out to investigate Liu Yuan.

Then I pretended to go out to buy a magic weapon, and then deliberately pretended that I couldn't buy a magic weapon that suited me, and visited all the shops on the street, but in fact, every time I took advantage of his inattention, I would secretly buy some materials and hide them in the ring.

"These materials are necessary for me to refine a poison called Suoming San, as long as these materials are mashed and ground into powder, and then let the other party inhale them into the nasal cavity, after five minutes, the poisoned person will be unconscious on the ground, and will not be able to use spiritual power for an hour. ”

"In the last two hours of the feast, I smashed and ground the materials into a lock, led him into a sparsely populated alley, made him unable to see me by the moonlight, and then secretly sprinkled the powder in the air with the hand in the dark, and waited for him to inhale it, and then he fainted to the ground as planned, and then I took him to a pre-selected suburb, and you must know what happened next.

"You're very smart!" Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart.

"If you want to survive in this troubled world, how many people are not smart!" Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Fang Ling couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.

This crisis can be regarded as a temporary overcome, and he should not dare to act rashly for a while, to be honest, the reason why he was able to succeed this time can also be said to be a bit of luck.

When he proposed to let him move to live next to him, he deliberately refused to disturb him, because there were too many secrets about the invisible people on him. For the Xiao family, knowing these things will only do them a hundred harms and no benefits.

So whether it is to protect himself or the Xiao family, he has to hide himself as much as possible and reduce the attention of others to him. Therefore, he had to avoid excessive contact with those who were too close, especially Xiao Feng, as the only two Heavenly Yuan Realm powerhouses in the Qingfeng Country, Fang Ling stayed by his side, although it was safe, the possibility of exposure would also be greatly increased. This is something he does not want to see.

Although he rejected his arrangement, there was a high probability that he would secretly send someone to protect me, but compared to a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, the Lingwu Realm was easier to control after all, after all, in Xiao Feng's eyes, the strength of the guards sent by a gentleman should not be much higher.

However, Xiao Yingyu still underestimated how much the old man of the Xiao family cared about this grandson, he didn't expect that the old man would actually send a master of the eightfold Earth Yuan Realm to protect him.

It was also because of this incident that he temporarily adjusted the whole thing.

He originally planned to use fake death to fool him out, and then after the mastermind behind him took his attention off him, he secretly fished in troubled waters to investigate the truth.

However, although this can greatly increase its own secrecy, it also has a drawback, the efficiency is too slow, and you need to start a little bit of investigation by yourself.

Compared with this, it would obviously be more efficient to take the initiative directly, catch Liu Yuan, and then force the mastermind behind the scenes. Before, because he was not strong enough, in order to ensure the success rate of the matter, it was not impossible for the mastermind behind the scenes to send a powerful master to stare at Liu Yuan.

If you act rashly, you will only kill yourself when the time comes. But now it's different, he has Xiao Yi, a master bodyguard of the Earth Yuan Realm, who is secretly protecting himself. Although he still doesn't know the relationship between him and the old man, since he can rest assured that Xiao Yi can stay by his grandson's side, he must be someone who can be trusted.

Therefore, he temporarily decided to change his plan and take the initiative!

First revealed Xiao Yi's whereabouts in one word, showed him his plan, and then made a request for him to help him, whether it was to protect Fang Ling's safety or driven by curiosity, he had no reason to refuse.

Even if he didn't help now, as long as Fang Ling still acted according to the plan, if the other party really sent someone to suppress the formation, in order to protect Fang Ling's safety at that time, Xiao Yi would still have to make a move, and it was precisely because he figured this out that Xiao Yi agreed.

And so there was everything that followed......

As for whether Xiao Yi would inform Xiao Feng of this matter, in fact, Fang Ling didn't care too much, he had already thought of corresponding countermeasures for this, even if he reported the matter to the old man, if he acted according to the plan, he would be able to deal with it calmly.

When he came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the room, and the doubts in his heart were relieved, and Xiao Yi had no need to stay. At this moment, he may be guarding this small courtyard from afar somewhere, or he may have already reported the situation in front of Old Man Xiao......

At the same time, in the heavily guarded Ouchi Palace, in a side hall, a handsome young man was sitting on a chair in front of the window, holding a glass of wine as red as blood in his hand, and from time to time he put the wine into his stomach.

He looked up at the beautiful starry sky outside, always with a smile on his lips.

"The news just came that there seems to be a fire in the south of the city. A mechanical, ugly voice came from behind him.

The young man said disapprenously: "What about Liu Yuan?"

The man behind him had a solemn face: "Missing!"

When the young man heard this, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character: "Isn't there Dong Lao following?"

"Dong Lao was indeed sent by you to follow him in the dark, just in case, Liu Yuan chased Xiao Yingyu halfway and ran out, and he also followed, but he didn't go far before he encountered a mysterious master blocking the way. ”

"Mysterious master?" the young man looked stunned.

"Yes, Dong Lao had a few tricks with him and was injured. ”

"Hurt?!!" The young man's calm face was finally moved, and his heart was surging like waves.

You must know that your own subordinate is a powerhouse at the peak of the fifth peak of the Earth Yuan Realm, and it is surprising that he can be repelled, but if he can still be injured, it means that this mysterious master is really not ordinary!

"That person used two moves, one to stop him, and the other to injure him, this kind of strength, I guess it's at least the Earth Yuan Sevenfold!"

Xiao Yingyu...... Liu Yuan...... Mystic Master......

The boy kept savoring the information in his mind, and after a few moments, a vague clue gradually surfaced in his mind.

Liu Yuan is probably ...... at this moment

The young man's eyes were moved, and he sneered: "Hehe, what a gentleman, what a Xiao Yingyu, what a Xiao family!"

"I'll let you know what happened to me!"
