The night sky was like thick black ink, Ye Lingyu changed into a black robe, and perfectly blended into the night.

During the day, there were many guards wandering around the vicinity outside Aoxue Peak, and in the evening, these people lit a bonfire a mile away from Snow Peak, and several plain white tents were set up around the bonfire.

Ye Lingyu hid behind a thick tree, and looked around, beside the bonfire, the guards were sitting in groups of three or two, driving a boiling iron pot on the fire, the pot exuded an attractive aroma of meat, and they didn't know where they had hunted some spirit beasts from and were stewing.

Sure enough, the meat was still fragrant, Ye Lingyu looked at it from afar, and felt that the gluttonous worms in his stomach had been hooked out. On Aoxue Peak, although Mengxue is a good cooker, she is mainly vegetarian after all, and Ye Lingyu has not been exposed to oil and water for a long time.

Wait for this matter, let's take Mengxue to have a good meal, she is used to having few desires, I'm afraid I don't know what meat tastes like. Give her a good meal, and she should apologize for today's incident.

Ye Lingyu thought as he walked towards a tent.

The location of the camp he chose was more remote, and there happened to be a lone guard near the camp.

If you want to infiltrate the city lord's mansion, your biggest reliance is the hundred faces, and you can easily sneak in with the appearance of a guard with a hundred faces. However, a hundred faces are not omnipotent, a hundred faces can change a person's appearance and figure, but clothes are not.

Ye Lingyu bypassed several waves of patrols and rushed to the back of the camp. After cultivating the Spirit Control Technique, he became more and more proficient in the control of spiritual power, and was able to hide his spiritual power fluctuations well.

The guard carried a steel knife at his waist, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and touching his somewhat bulging belly with the other.

Ye Lingyu quietly sneaked behind him, saw the right time, and suddenly burst into trouble.

His movements were lightning fast, and he took a big step forward, his movements seemed ferocious, but he didn't make any sound under his feet. Covering the guard's mouth with one hand, strangling his neck with the other, and interlacing his hands to pull hard to both sides.

I heard a crunch sound from the guard's neck, and then the whole person fell limply.

Ye Lingyu shot quickly and ruthlessly, without mercy.

He slung the guard over his shoulder, dodged, and disappeared into the jungle.

The whole process only took a few breaths, and it didn't alert anyone in the middle, and even some beasts who are good at hunting may not be able to do such a fast and precise action.

Ye Lingyu divided five by two, stripped off all the armor and clothes on the guards, and then put them on himself, tied the steel knife to his waist, and turned into the appearance of this person.

In addition, there is also this person's Qiankun ring. This person is a fourth-level martial artist of the Yellow Order, and he has some family background. From the Qiankun Ring, Ye Lingyu searched out three thousand spirit crystals, two ordinary cultivation techniques, a bronze token, and some miscellaneous things.

The collection is a little richer than the previous Shi Hu, but these things are now used to supplement Ye Lingyu's household.

After covering the guard's body with some weeds, Ye Lingyu turned around and ran in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was located in the other direction of Aoxue City, and even if Ye Lingyu was not slow now, it still took a lot of time.

The night was getting darker, and the streets were already pitch black, except for the city lord's mansion, which still had some lights, but under the cover of the night, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

There were two guards with spears standing at the gate of the mansion, and their cultivation was at the level of the peak of the Yellow Order. In normal times, the City Lord's Mansion really wouldn't use such a character to guard the door, after all, the guards in the lower part are generally not too high in cultivation, and there are only two or three people who have reached the Xuan Rank, like the martial artists at the peak of the Yellow Order, all of them are in the position of commander, so it is naturally impossible to do such a thing as guarding the door.

However, after An Junfeng took control of the City Lord's Mansion, everything was different. After all, he is a dignified prince, and his masters are like clouds, and as soon as he is summoned, a large number of masters will stay in the city lord's mansion.

Ye Lingyu observed in the dark for a while, and was a little hesitant in his heart. The two martial artists at the peak of the Yellow Order, if they want to break through, I'm afraid it's impossible. Although Ye Lingyu is not afraid of them, there will inevitably be a lot of movement when fighting.

The walls around the City Lord's Mansion emitted a faint light, it should be some kind of formation, and if you climb over the wall, you will definitely be discovered. Just as Ye Lingyu was thinking about how to sneak in, his eyes suddenly fixed on the waists of the two martial artists, and after seeing what was hanging on their waists, he suddenly had a countermeasure in his heart.

The night wind was gusting, and the two guards were both depressed, standing at the door and stretching from time to time.

According to their cultivation, standing for one night is nothing, even if they are allowed to stand for two or three days, it will not be a problem. However, at night the guards are really a bit bored, and when they are bored, sleepiness keeps coming up.

One of the guards tucked his spear under his armpit and clasped his hands in front of his chest: "This damn night wind has frozen Lao Tzu to death, how can Lao Tzu not suffer this kind of crime." ”

"Say less. The other guard glanced at him, "Transferring us to Snowfall isn't for you to complain. Isn't it said that the wall has ears, be careful to be heard. ”

"Cut, come on, you can't say two words? I couldn't think of us when I recruited relatives, so I called us here as soon as something happened. With obvious displeasure on his face, the previous guard muttered, "Well, then again, have you heard about the Snow Maiden?" I heard that it was a kid from the seventh layer of the Yellow Order who recruited relatives to win the championship, tsk, this is two levels lower than you and me, if I let me go, maybe I can also win a leader and come back. ”

"If you don't talk big, will you die? I've heard that although they only have the seventh layer of the Yellow Order, they are fighting the heroes, and even that Wei Zhong died in his hands. ”

"Wei Zhong, that Xuan Rank, I think it's a lie, the seventh layer of the Yellow Rank killed the Xuan Rank, who would believe this kind of words. The foreman scoffed.

As he spoke, he was suddenly stunned, and the martial artist's intuition made him feel a little strange at that moment. He clenched the spear in his hand sharply, the head of the spear pointed in one direction, and shouted: "Who!"

The other guard also sensed it as he spoke, and immediately looked in the same direction.

In that direction, a man dressed in a guard's costume strode out.

Ye Lingyu glanced around the two of them unhurriedly, and clenched his fists slightly: "I found the traces of the Snow Maiden in the direction of Ao Xue Peak, and I came to report to the prince." ”

"Report?" one of the guards stepped forward, his eyes a little suspicious, "Isn't the report usually delivered in the form of jade slips?

Ye Lingyu's brows moved slightly. Passing it on with jade slips, he doesn't know about this kind of thing. Although the expression has changed, it is well hidden.

"In addition to the Snow Maiden, there are other important things to repay, which are very important and must be conveyed in person. Ye Lingyu didn't look surprised, and his attitude was very sincere, as if he was doing something.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them wanted to step forward to ask again, but Ye Lingyu suddenly reached out and threw something at him.

The guard reached out and took it, and found that it was a token with the word "An" engraved on it.

"The token is here, the matter is urgent, if it is delayed, take the two of you to ask. Ye Lingyu's attitude suddenly became serious, and his tone was a little heavier.

The security token, the holder of the order, means that it is An Junfeng's subordinates. After seeing the token, the two guards stopped blocking it and happily let it go.

Ye Lingyu also secretly exhaled. The token was searched in the Qiankun ring before, but fortunately, when he was observing, he found that the same token was also hanging from the guard's waist, which affirmed the role of the token.

After receiving the token, he strode into the house.

Ye Lingyu was not too familiar with the City Lord's Mansion, and at night, except for some patrolling guards, he could hardly see anyone, even if he wanted to find someone to ask for directions.

After a moment's thought, his eyes were fixed on a room with the lights still on.

A few arrows came to the edge of the window, and looked through the carved window lattice, only to see a huge desk in the room, on which the grease lamp emitted a dim light, and a thin old man was lying on the desk. Wet brushes sit on the inkstone, and the whole room smells of ink.

The old man didn't know if he was asleep, and he didn't raise his head when Ye Lingyu turned into the house.

Ye Lingyu came to the old man's back lightly, suddenly made a move, and pulled the old man up by the collar, while covering his mouth with one hand and choking his neck with the other.

The old man opened his eyes suddenly.

"Don't make a sound, or die. Ye Lingyu said in a deep voice.

The old man was panicked at first, but after a moment he calmed down, and he nodded slightly.

Ye Lingyu sensed slightly, and found that this old man did not have any cultivation, and seemed to be just an ordinary person. Even so, he didn't let his guard down.

"I have some questions for you, answer them honestly, or don't blame me for being rude. "Ye Lingyu is not a soft-hearted person, if this old man doesn't listen to advice, he doesn't mind killing him.

"Let me ask you, where are the lord and his family?"

After asking, Ye Lingyu let go of his hand slightly, so that the old man could speak, but the hand holding his neck did not let go. The old man dared to make a move, he only needed a slight force in his hand to kill him.

The old man turned his head slightly, and found that his head couldn't be twisted, so he could only look at Ye Lingyu with his peripheral vision: "Is it difficult...... You're a friend of Young Master Murphy. ”
