Chapter 200: Surrounded by Powerful Enemies
In addition to the Imperial Dynasty, there must also be many hidden old monsters in the Barbarian Demon Territory and the Immortal Palace, and I am afraid that this is the reason why the Imperial Dynasty has not been able to conquer and unify them for hundreds of years.
"How is it? Brother Luping, this cow looks at you well, and your strength is really good, do you want to join us and make a fortune together?"
Lu Ming was slightly moved, but after pondering for a while, he still shook his head and declined: "Thank you Brother Niu for your kindness, I am new to here, so I should familiarize myself with it first, and then I won't trouble you." ”
Lu Ming can imagine that if he joins this combination of cows, pigs and sheep, although it is quite lively and interesting, Lu Ming's needs are different from those of Niu Fangtian, so it is difficult to walk together.
The most important thing is that what Lu Ming wants to do is to kill demons and evil spirits, once Niu Fengtian and others are involved, it will inevitably affect them and cause a lot of trouble at the same time.
It's just that if he is alone, even if he really encounters a strong enemy, Lu Ming has a way to escape, so why bother himself.
Niu Fangtian didn't persuade him again, but even said that if Lu Ming had something to do, he would find him, and the price would be negotiable. Lu Ming smiled dumbly, he was really a business cow, and he couldn't afford to be early.
After Lu Ming thanked him again, one person and one cow only drank and didn't talk about their own private affairs. Lu Ming didn't ask Niu Fangtian about his background on Niutou Mountain, and Niu Fangtian didn't care what Lu Ming's purpose was here, and what his identity was in the imperial dynasty.
Everyone tacitly understands that there will be less evasion and cause and effect in the future.
After eating a meal of wine until the third watch, Lu Ming said goodbye and left, returned to his cave, sat cross-legged on the stone platform, looked up at the brilliant starry sky of Ling'an Domain, and was comfortable.
"I'll go find Lingyun Pavilion tomorrow, but if there are any rewards related to demon beasts, spirits, and even spirit monsters within the five grades, you can give it a try. Lu Ming made up his mind that by doing so, he could not only earn time and space power, but also accumulate merits.
The most important thing is that Lingyun Pavilion can provide him with very detailed clues and intelligence, which is much more convenient and safe than Lu Ming bumping around alone.
On the seventh day of the fourth month, Lu Ming found the branch of Lingyun Pavilion on Niutou Mountain, in an inconspicuous cave on the mountainside platform.
The Lingyun Pavilion here is also a restaurant on the surface, but secretly it continues to do some black market transactions, and of course, the most important thing is to serve the night envoys of the Dark Night Department.
Lu Ming entered it in the middle of the night with a black iron mask, directly confronted the code, and was led into a secret passage, leading to the secret room in the belly of the mountain.
When he arrived at the secret room and saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"Shopkeeper Zhou?" The person waiting for Lu Ming among them was Zhou Tong, an old acquaintance of Qinglan Mansion.
"Haha, Lord Lu, don't come unharmed. I've been waiting for you here for a day, and you're finally here. Zhou Tong smiled enthusiastically.
"Wait for me?" Lu Ming was puzzled.
"Yes, I guessed that you were most likely to come to Niutou Mountain in the south, so I rushed over and waited for you here. In the future, Lord Lu, I will still be responsible for your affairs here?" Zhou Tong said with a fist in his fist.
Lu Ming returned the salute, secretly wondering, is his whereabouts so easy to guess? Or is it that Lingyun Pavilion has already mastered his true identity and movements?
Zhou Tong seemed to sense Lu Ming's vigilance, and further explained: "Master Lu doesn't have to worry too much, I can guess that you will come to Niutou Mountain, but it is not difficult." ”
"First of all, this is the same southern land as Qinglan Mansion, and it is the closest spiritual mountain to Qinglan Mansion in the Ling'an Domain. Secondly, apart from Niutou Mountain, there is another great clan in this vicinity that is not friendly to us imperial humans. So, the chances of you going there are slim. Zhou Tong analyzed.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, if someone could easily find out his heels, then Lu Ming would have to reconsider his way of doing things in the future. There are some secrets that cannot be easily exposed.
"Then there is the shopkeeper of Lao Zhou to bother. Lu Ming said politely.
"It should. As Zhou Tong spoke, he took out a file and said, "Lord Lu, please see, this should be what you need." ”
Lu Ming took the file and looked at it carefully.
"So many!" Lu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback after looking at it.
There are no less than a thousand of the fifth-grade powerhouses from all sides who have boarded this bounty dossier alone, including the people of the Beast Gathering Sect and the demon beasts of the Barbarian Demon Leader, as well as the people of the Immortal Palace. In addition, Lu Ming also saw some bounties for assassinating spirit monsters and even imperial humans, as well as hunting spirits.
The Beast Gathering Sect and the Barbarian Demon Domain, as well as the Hall of Immortality, all belong to the sworn enemies of the dynasty, and they are already killing one by one.
Hunting spirits is not an accident, this kind of strange thing full of treasures and conceived by heaven and earth, everyone wants it, not for grievances, but because the treasures are moving, and they are naturally of great use to the dynasty.
But some of these spirit monsters and imperial humans surprised Lu Ming a little. Lu Ming saw that among them were the powerhouses of the Nine Lives Cloud Cat Clan, as well as the Eight-Winged Golden Cicada Clan, as well as some small clan spirit monsters that were attached to these two major races.
"There are some spirit monsters in the spirit monster race who are hostile to the humans of our dynasty, and they are nothing in the first place, but most of the spirit monsters among them are butchers who have had a lot of imperial blood on their hands, and the Dark Night Department naturally wants to be enemies with them. Zhou Tong said solemnly on the side: "As for those imperial human beings, they are all traitors of the imperial dynasty and have taken refuge in the enemy, and everyone will be punished." ”
Lu Ming was puzzled: "Assassinating the great clan's spirit monsters in this Ling'an Domain, aren't you afraid of causing them to chase and kill, and even affect the recruitment plan?"
Lu Ming also knew very well that all forces had a heart for recruiting in the Ling'an Domain, and the Imperial Dynasty was no exception.
Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "No, as long as you don't do it on the major spirit mountains, there will be no big problem." If our dynasty wants to lay out here, naturally we can't blindly compromise and seek perfection, we must make them fearful, so that it can be more convenient to act. ”
"You have also seen that there are many strong people from all sides who have entered the Ling'an Domain, and this is only a part of the surface, and this is the realm of the five grades. There are many more powerhouses, even Lingyun Pavilion can't find out for a while, and they are very hidden. Zhou Tong is colorful.
"The most important thing is that most of these guys will not walk alone, and even most of them will walk with the fourth-grade or even third-grade powerhouses. Therefore, it is difficult to complete this kind of assassination bounty on your own. Zhou Tong looked at Lu Ming and said.
Lu Ming frowned slightly and said, "You mean, let me act with the other Night Envoys?"
Zhou Tong nodded and said, "There are strong enemies here, and almost all of them are outside the law outside the Spirit Mountain. Relying on the power of one person is too difficult and too dangerous, and joining forces with other night envoys is the safest way. If possible, you can even take on the case with the Fourth or Third Rank Night Envoys, so that even if you encounter a strong enemy or an ambush, you will have a way out. ”
"No!" Lu Ming flatly refused.
