"Heh, I really haven't left. Li Xunlian slowly walked to the old trader, who was curled up on the ground, and when he saw Li Xunlian coming back, he immediately knelt on the ground again, shouting and asking for mercy.

"It's useless, do you think that someone can come to help you by shouting?" Li Xunlian sneered, he had already looked at this place when he chose it, there were all dilapidated lanes behind Fang Yuan, and no one would come at all.

"Master, you have a lot of adults, you really let me go, and even if you don't let me go, don't leave me here alone. The old vendor was almost crying and pleading.

Hearing this, Li Xunlian became interested, so he asked, "How is this place, haunted?"

"Mom!" the old merchant screamed and said, "Master, don't talk nonsense, it's really ...... here."

"Don't you play this game with me, do you think I look like a fool?" Li Xunlian interrupted his conversation, and said in his heart that this old trader really can't change his, and his life is in his hands, and he dares to make up nonsense to fool him.

"Master, I really didn't lie this time, what do you want to know, you take me away, I'll tell you everything!" The old trader patted his chest, and his expression was sincere.

"Don't mind, let's not talk about those things before, now I really just want to know, what is it here that scares you?" Li Xun asked with a smile, it doesn't matter to him what bull ghosts, snakes, and gods, he has killed all the weird things like the Yin Fire Living Dead, and he has also fought against the demon clan, and he has not seen Hu Wan's kind of demon level, what else is worth making a fuss about.

"Master......"

"Don't take a bite of a master, it sounds awkward. Li Xunlian interrupted it again.

"Uh...... Childe, it's not a small talk, do you know why it's not popular here?"

"Hurry up. Li Xunlian showed an impatient look, which startled the old trader.

"That, it was a good place about a year ago, and then it lost its popularity overnight, all the people living in this alley have mysteriously disappeared, and the imperial court has dispatched a large number of people, and no clues have been found until now, this must be a ghost. The old trader only showed his fear, but he could not explain the reason for the incident.

However, Li Xunlian didn't expect him to explain, but one of the key words caught his attention.

Wasn't that exactly when Wei Jiyuan sent Wei Shaoning here a year ago?

Although there is no intuitive evidence, Li Xunlian vaguely feels that there may be some connection between the two......

"Do you know what the name of the official in charge of investigating here was at that time?" Li Xunlian pondered for a moment and asked.

The old trader was stunned when he heard this, he just wanted to quickly let this young master take him out of here, who would have thought that it would arouse people's curiosity, looking at this meaning, this young man is afraid that he still wants to investigate.

"A man surnamed Long, the official seems to be not young, he lives in the official residential area in the south of the city, if you want to go, I will take you there. The old trader rolled his eyes, and he made up his mind to pay attention, don't you want to check, then I will definitely try my best to help you, send you away as soon as possible, and I will also fall lightly as soon as possible, otherwise if I continue so fearfully, this old bone will not be able to withstand much tossing.

"No, I'll go myself, but before that, you tell me everything you know. Li Xunlian didn't give the old trader a chance to flatter.

"Master, I really don't know anything, if I knew, would I not tell you. "The old trader simply doesn't give up until the Yellow River, even if things develop to this point, he still has luck and tries to coax Li Xunlian.

"Okay, if you really don't want to say it, then you can stay here. After that, Li Xun didn't even turn around and leave, without hesitation at all.

Seeing this, the old trader hurriedly hugged Li Xunlian's thigh, and begged: "Master, can't you be so ruthless, and leave my old bones who can't do anything other than eating and eating in this haunted place, won't that kill me!"

Hearing that the old trader tried his best to belittle himself, Li Xunlian laughed instead, glanced down at him, and said, "Am I ruthless, it seems to be worse than you." You say that if I throw you in this haunted place, it is equivalent to killing you, so when you went to report the crime to the guards at the gate of the palace, did you think that I was in a foreign country, and being arrested was equivalent to death?"

Li Xunlian said this reasonably, without the slightest coercion and deterrence, the old trader was already ashamed, and the ashamed look on his face became a little heavier after hearing this.

To be honest, he didn't expect that this young master would not be able to kill the killer after kidnapping him, let alone reason with him now.

"Master, what you said is, the older I get, the more confused I become, so, what do you want to know, just ask, the old man, I know everything. The old trader found out in his conscience and patted his chest and said.

Li Xunlian was also stunned, he didn't want to tell the old trader anything at all, saying that was just a hurry, and even there was a trace of killing intent floating in his heart, if the old trader still chose to be stubborn, I am afraid that after he took ten steps, the Xuanyin Qi would leak out wildly, and directly freeze the old trader to death on the spot.

As the saying goes, a good man has a good reward, and this old trader must not be a good person, but he found it in his conscience at a critical moment, and he can be regarded as making a correct decision, so the good reward came, and his life was saved.

"Speaking about Wei Shaoning's situation, don't miss the slightest bit about everything. Li Xunlian helped the old trader up, since he was willing to cooperate, then he didn't need to start, the old trader was an ordinary person, although his heart was a little despicable, but it couldn't have much impact, there was no need to be so hasty.

"Master, what I told you this time is the truth, but I am a humble person, just a vendor who sells xiaolongbao, so I can't say anything, if you stop if it's useful, then I'll be happy, if it's useless, don't blame me." "The old trader is just a chatter, but this can't be helped, occupational diseases are like this, and those who sell things on the street, if they don't have a little bit of effort, then how can they do business.

"Just say it quickly, as long as you tell the truth and say something, not only will I not touch you, but the gold ingots still belong to you. Li Xunlian said in a harmonious voice.

As soon as he heard this, the old trader was overjoyed, he really didn't expect this young master to be so generous, not only did he not pursue himself, but he didn't even investigate the matter of the gold ingot. For a while, he felt a little guilty in his heart, he was too inhuman, and he was even ready to report and betray others.

So, the old trader who found out with his conscience no longer hid it, and told everything he knew.

According to him, Wei Shaoning came here a year or two, and he forgot the specific time, after all, Wei Shaoning didn't make any noise when he appeared, and as a small vendor selling xiaolongbao at the bottom, he didn't need to pay attention.

It was only later, about ten years ago, that Wei Shaoning's name suddenly became so loud that everyone in the entire foreign city knew about it. The reason for this was that Wei Shaoning and the barbarian appeared at the same time in one of the most famous restaurants in the city of a foreign city.

It was the Jufu Building, that is, at that time, the old traders dreamed that one day they could go to the Jufu Building to experience it and see what it was like to live in the upper class.

Tianyan City has existed for thousands of years, but there have been almost no cases of Zhongzhou people walking with barbarians, and even if they do, it is very rare throughout the ages. But this Wei Shaoning is different, he not only appeared with the barbarian master, but also exchanged glasses with the barbarian at the wine table.

You must know that this barbarian master is known as the most mysterious one in the history of the barbarians, not to mention the people of Zhongzhou, he is the high-level of the barbarians, and only a few people can contact him, so it is better to see Wei Shaoning's weight level.

However, this is not the most important point, the main event is still to come, it is said that the barbarian lord and Wei Shaoning had a good drink, at that time, there was no emperor in the city of the foreign country, and the ruler of this place was the head of a Jianghu force.

And as the local head snake, when the barbarian lord arrives, he naturally has to accompany him.

Wine to the third round, Wei Shaoning suddenly without warning proposed to reform the city in the city of the foreign state, how can the head snake be willing to hear it, at that time he ruled the city of the city, the benefits of the annual harvest are unimaginable to ordinary people, it is said that he relied on this benefit, constantly cooperate with a certain big faction in Zhongzhou, in exchange for countless exercises and divine soldiers, his own power, is also thriving, it is really a good situation.

At this time, Wei Shaoning's hairy boy who didn't know where to fight dared to mention the reform without shame, how could the head snake agree, even if he slapped the table and smashed the stool, he looked at his face, and since he was based in a foreign city, it was naturally indispensable to give the barbarian lord an offering, it is said that this resource is also quite terrifying, and its measurement is even enough for the second-rate city in Zhongzhou to support the expenses for a year.

It stands to reason that under his control, although the people in the foreign cities and cities are constantly resentful, they have always been peaceful and dare not do anything to the barbarians, and how can the barbarians care about the lives and deaths of the people in the cities of the foreign countries, and the cooperation between the two sides is also pleasant. What's more, he will also provide a large amount of resources every year as a pledge of loyalty, and if there is no major change, the barbarian should have no reason to move him.

But that day, the barbarian didn't know why, so he didn't give the head snake a chance to say a second word!

At that time, the stall of the old merchant was placed nearby, and I don't know why, a person of the level of a barbarian should have chosen the best private room when he went out to eat, but that day no, they were actually in the place where the hall was facing the door, and it was the old merchant who could see everything that happened at that time.

However, he didn't know how the barbarian master did it, because at that time he only felt a roar like the roar of ten thousand beasts explode, almost shattering his ear drums, and by the time everything was calm, the earth snake had already been carried out.

The old merchant will never forget that scene, and I don't know if it was his luck that allowed him to see a scene that ordinary people might never see in his life, or whether he was unlucky enough to let him see the terrible scene that even now he would dream of in nightmares.

At that time, what he saw was that the body of the head snake seemed to be compressed, and the original burly body was like a piece of paper, and because the body was covered with a white cloth, the old merchant could only see the specific situation on his face.

In his words, the whole face collapsed, the eyeballs were crowded, the nose was collapsed, the lips were also crowded, and the white ones were mixed with red blood that was constantly overflowing, and miles and miles were dripping to the ground......

He didn't know what kind of ability one person possessed to turn another person into this, but there was no doubt that there were no large torture instruments in the tavern that day, and the tragic death of the ground snake was only from the hand of the barbarian master.

As for the rest of the day, the banquet dispersed, and it is worth mentioning that in the later period, through the communication of the local residents, it seemed that the roar of ten thousand beasts was heard in the entire foreign city within the city that day......

After that, the matter seemed to be suddenly calm, until seven days later, the barbarian lord came again, and brought extremely shocking news.

The city within the city of a foreign country was officially reformed and the monarchy system was established, and this first emperor suddenly appeared, and Wei Shaoning, who didn't know where it came from!

I don't have any special feelings about the people in the city in this state, and I am sure that I am a little worried and shocked in my heart, because I don't know what will become of the city in the foreign state after Wei Shaoning takes the throne, and the shock is because this son is unknown, how can he suddenly rise to the ground and thunder, and soar to 90,000 li.

However, after Wei Shaoning ascended to the throne for a period of time, the residents here felt the benefits of his ascendancy, at least compared to the time when the head snake was in charge, the order was much more orderly, and the people no longer had to be ruthlessly looted from time to time, just pay regular and quantitative tribute every month.

Of course, if this tribute is not completed, the consequences will be quite serious.

In the final analysis, these things are just the process of Wei Shaoning's ascension, but what really interests Li Xunlian is not this, because the old trader has an exclusive news, and Li Xunlian has not asked where he came from, after all, as a street vendor, his well-informed degree is simply unimaginable.

He said that on the fifteenth day of every month, Wei Shaoning would travel lightly and go to a land temple in the north of the city to offer incense......

"Is that true?"

Hearing the old trader say this, Li Xunlian's heart moved, he didn't care which incense Wei Shaoning went to, he only knew that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Master, we also said it before, this time I promise to tell everything I know, but I'm not sure if it's true or not. For example, in the matter of incense, an old brother of mine always chops firewood in the vicinity, which he told me that he drank too much that day, and told me that the emperor's trip was a big matter, so I should not publicize it. The old trader said with a bitter face.
