Chapter 535: A Chance Encounter

Xu Rui circled left and right in the crowd a few times, and had gradually left the place of contention, but the feeling of being watched by others had not weakened in the slightest.

Obviously, the person who tracked Xu Rui was a master, and he was very good at concealment, not only being able to lock on to Xu Rui from afar, but also escaping his qi and keen five senses.

"Someone has been tracking, could it be that they are directly targeted by that ghost-faced demon god, or are there other masters here?"

After going around the lively street market a few times in a row, he still couldn't get rid of that feeling, Xu Rui couldn't help but slander in his heart.

It is said that Xu Rui is on someone else's land at the moment, and the more people there are, the easier it is for him to fish in troubled waters, but after a little silence, his heart moved, and he walked into a long and narrow alley with no people.

And the moment he entered the narrow alley, Xu Rui felt that the feeling of being watched on his body finally disappeared, but just for a moment, he heard an extremely faint sound of footsteps behind him.

The person who tracked Xu Rui was absolutely the best in the world, the footsteps were not only subtle, but also disguised as the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which was difficult to detect in the noisy street noise, if it weren't for Xu Rui's keen senses, I am afraid that he would not be able to find the clue at all.

However, now that it has been detected, Xu Rui has time to make full preparations.

Just a moment before the sound of footsteps approaching the narrow alley, Xu Rui sneered, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Da Da ......"

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the roof next to the narrow alley, and it was a man wearing a hat lying on the eaves with his feet and four hands, crawling forward silently like a gecko.

The man slipped along the wall into the narrow alley, and was slightly stunned, the alley in front of him was empty, and there was no Xu Rui at all.

As soon as the fingers of his hands loosened, the whole person fell to the ground as lightly as an ape, leaning to the ground and listening, as if he was trying to find Xu Rui's whereabouts.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around, but before he could actually turn around, a cold long sword was placed on his shoulder.

"Are you looking for me?"

Xu Rui held the broken blade in his hand and stood behind the figure and said coldly.

It turned out that he had been hiding under the eaves just now, and a moment of silence finally allowed him to avoid the eyes and ears of the figure.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is so calculating, it's a pity that ......"

The figure sneered, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly floated forward half a zhang like catkins in the wind, just avoiding Xu Rui's broken edge.

This time it seems to be unremarkable, but in fact, it is under the lock of Xu Rui's qi and five senses, not only is the action as fast as lightning, but the clever use of the body method makes Xu Rui slightly shocked in his heart.

As soon as the figure Fang got out of trouble, he immediately reached out and touched his back, but no matter what he wanted to touch, Xu Rui would never let him succeed.

At the moment when the figure got out of trouble, Xu Rui immediately chased after him, and made several nameless swordsmanship in a row, and the broken blade was like a scythe of death like a shadow, each sword was very treacherous, even a first-class master would be unable to guard against it.

However, Xu Rui's sword is fast, but the man's body is faster, no matter how Xu Rui uses the sword, the person always keeps an inch away from the broken edge, seeing the long sword chasing away, but it can't stab the person.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them staggered three steps, the man forcibly turned around in the air, took out a crossbow from behind his waist and aimed at Xu Rui, Xu Rui was also ruthless, the qi machine was instantly raised to the maximum, and the broken front first sank down, and then slammed up.

The man originally thought that Xu Rui wanted to stab him in the left rib and force him to give up shooting, so he took a step back, ready to avoid the sword blade, but he didn't expect that the broken blade turned around at an extremely strange angle and came straight to his throat.

The man was immediately shocked, but he had no way to avoid it, so he had to forcibly raise his crossbow and prepare for the jade to burn.

Between the lightning and flint, both of them had the determination to die, but when they raised their heads at the same time to see each other's appearance, they were stunned and exclaimed at the same time.

"It's you?!"

Time seemed to freeze immediately, and the broken front stopped at the man's neck, and the Qingluan crossbow in the man's hand aimed at Xu Rui's heart.

It turned out that the master in front of him who was holding a Qingluan crossbow and had the best skills was none other than Xu Rui's old acquaintance Li Kuang!

"Is it really you?"

"Why are you here?"

After a moment of astonishment, the two asked in unison.

At this time, the two seemed to have just recovered from the shock, Li Kuang's face sank, and he grabbed Xu Rui's wrist and said, "The wall has ears, you come with me." ”

Xu Rui nodded, although there is no one here, no one can guarantee that there will be no one who is secretly watching, no matter what you say, you can't say it here.

Li Kuang took out a hat from the little tease behind him and put it on Xu Rui's head, and then led him out of the alley, looked left and right, and unconsciously merged into the flow of people.

Xu Rui followed Li Kuang around the New Territories City for a long time, through several dirty and noisy narrow alleys, and finally came to a bustling tavern.

The tavern is called Drunken Moon, and it is said to be a tavern, but it is actually a large tent, which is crowded with all kinds of drinkers, most of whom are domestic servants who come to do business, as well as some low-level warriors who don't have much money.

No money and frustration, having wine today and getting drunk today is probably their only pleasure.

The two walked into the tavern, silently passed through the noisy drinkers, and came to the corner of the tavern, where a man seemed to be drunk, and his face was covered with a straw hat lying on the ground and snoring.

Li Kuang walked up to him and pretended to stomp his feet inadvertently, Xu Rui noticed that the frequency of his stamping was very special, it should be an obscure code.

The man in the straw hat seemed to stretch his waist, and his body turned slightly, bringing up a curtain behind him.

Li Kuang looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he grabbed Xu Rui and got through the curtain behind the man.

After the two of them left, the man turned over again and returned to his original state, and the gap in the curtain in the corner immediately ceased to exist.

"Your Excellency!"

After the two passed through the tent, they came to a wine cellar, and several men who were carrying wine immediately got up and saluted Li Kuang.

Li Kuang waved his hand and gestured to several people, who immediately moved away the large jar where the wine was stored, and lifted the wooden planks on the ground that were camouflaged with sand and carpets, revealing a large hole.

"Stay here!"

Li Kuang gave an order to a few people, then took an oil lamp in his hand, gave Xu Rui another look, and led him into the small hole in the ground.

The small hole was pitch black, and the passage in front of him could barely accommodate an adult man walking forward.

Xu Rui followed Li Kuang for about ten meters, turned two corners, and finally came to an underground secret room with a size of more than ten zhang.

"Alright, it should be safe here."

Li Kuang put the oil lamp on the wooden table in the center of the secret room and said to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui looked at the environment of the secret room and said with a smile: "It seems that your Jinyi Guard has been operating in New Territories City for a short time, and it is a shame that you are so tight-mouthed that you haven't even revealed any news to me." ”

Li Kuang rolled his eyes and said, "Who knew that you would leave the army and run to such a ghost place?" Besides, I've just taken over here, so I don't have that time even if I want to talk to you. ”

"Just took over?"

Xu Rui was slightly stunned and said: "I remember that when I set off from Changxing City half a year ago, you just went to the battlefield on the southern front a few days before me to confirm the movements of King Wuling's army. ”

Li Kuang nodded: "I received the holy decree, it took two months, and I don't know how many horses ran to death before I finally arrived here, but I didn't expect to find you not long after I came." ”

Xu Rui frowned: "It's the order of the Holy Lord himself, it seems that this New Territories City is not simple." ”

Li Kuang snorted coldly: "It's not simple, it's terrifying here!" ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui was stunned again: "How do you say this?" ”

Li Kuang subconsciously looked left and right before saying, "There is a big secret hidden here!" ”
