Before Ding Peng crossed over, the people of the ancient country of Loulan in TV and movies were all yellow-skinned and black-eyed, in fact, this is wrong, the people of Loulan call themselves "Kurolina", which belongs to the Indo-European race, and the language is Tocharian of the Indo-European language family. It can be said that it is not compatible with the Han nationality at all.

Loulan Wangcheng is a mud city, on the northwest bank of Lop Nur, today's Lop Nur has not become the huge salt desert of later generations, the Tarim River and the Peacock River all flow through here, the water source is sufficient, the world praises and says "the vast three hundred miles, its water pavilion dwelling, winter and summer do not increase or decrease", so Loulan Wangcheng has its benefits, and the population gradually prospers.

It has been half a month since Li Kun and Zhao Si came to Mud City, and most of the information that Ding Peng explained that needs to be investigated has been collected, and the task is about to be completed.

According to the information they collected, there are about 3,000 households in the mud city, and the population in and around the city is more than 20,000, this number can only be regarded as a small city in the Central Plains, and it is very difficult to find a place in the Western Regions, with a large population, convenient transportation, sufficient water sources, and the vigorous trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, the business of the mud city is very prosperous, and seven or eight out of ten of the population participate in commercial operations, so that the east-west trade has become one of the two most important economic lifelines of the Loulan country.

As for the other pillar of the economy, jade mining. Although Loulan jade is not as famous as Hetian jade, in fact, the jade here is also a kind of Hetian jade, Hetian jade is not only produced in Hetian, its veins have been extended to Loulan, and even to Qinghai and other places.

There is also an important piece of information: Loulan believes in Buddhism. From the king to the common people, the people of Loulan are very wealthy, but half of a family's annual income is often contributed to the temple and those greedy monks.

The small mud city has a permanent population of only 20,000 and more than 300 large and small temples.

On the one hand, the investigation of the people and the economy is one thing, and the most important task assigned by Ding Peng is to collect intelligence on the Loulan royal court, and Li Kun has done a lot of work in this regard, and even bought off some low-level officials, and from their mouths bit by bit comprehensive information, plus his own analysis and judgment, he has obtained some very valuable information.

This is the second time Li Kun has been sent to Loulan Wangcheng to collect intelligence, compared to the first jerky lack of experience, he has already shown the basic quality of a very talented spy officer, compared to him, Zhao Si has no awareness of this, but fortunately, he remembers the master's entrustment and knows that his most important task is to protect Li Kun.

Keeping this purpose in mind, Zhao Si is very responsible and careful about his work, he let Li Kun be in the light and himself in the dark, although the two live in the same hostel, but they are not in the same house, they usually pay attention to keeping a distance from Li Kun, and make a look of not knowing each other, but in fact, where there is Li Kun, there must be Zhao Si, because of his prudence, he saved Li Kun's life.

On this day, Li Kun came out of a house, the male owner of this family once worked as a steward in the house of a powerful minister of the dynasty, and later because of a mistake, he was expelled from the house, Li Kun in the name of doing business with this housekeeper who is proficient in Chinese, and he got on the line, slowly familiarized, through small talk, and got valuable information from his mouth again and again, this former housekeeper can be said to be one of the most important gains of Li Kun in Loulan Wangcheng.

Li Kun's harvest today is not small, he finally found out some of the minister's secrets from this business partner, including the minister's political enemies and his family relatives, etc., in order to obtain these information, Li Kun contributed five pots of wine, he accompanied the housekeeper to drink, the housekeeper was drunk, and he was a little fluttering.

The proud Li Kun came out of the house with a drunken face, and didn't notice that someone was following behind him, these were two Buddhist monks wearing dark red monks' robes, one with a full face and one with triangular eyes, and he knew by his appearance that he was not a good person, and he didn't know how the people of Loulan believed in such an evil monk.

The two monks followed Li Kun lightly, looking at their appearance, they were not ready to make a move, probably to follow Li Kun to find out if he had any accomplices, but the two monks only cared about secretly following the target in front, but they did not find that the praying mantis cicada catcher yellow finch was behind, and there was a Zhao Si behind them.

Zhao Si found these two sneaky monks when Li Kun had not yet gone out, Zhao Si was not good at collecting intelligence, but he was quite qualified to be a bodyguard, after Li Kun entered the house, he did not stand stunned outside, but found a condescending attic in the neighboring house, sneaked in, and then covered with the window, paying close attention to the surrounding movements, so the two monks just appeared, and he found out.

Zhao Si didn't make a move, he wanted to see their intentions, sure enough, he didn't guess wrong, after Li Kun came out, the two monks began to follow secretly, Zhao Si was still not in a hurry to make a move, because the surrounding area was downtown, although it was dark, there were still many pedestrians on the road, Zhao Si had to choose a remote place, and quickly shot to subdue them.

Of course, first of all, he had to notify Li Kun first, but Li Kun was in the front, the monk was in the middle, and Zhao Si was in the back, how could he notify Li Kun and not let the monks find out?

Zhao Si and Li Kun have long had a code, which was also invented by Li Kun, this guy can't practice martial arts, but he is good at stealing chickens and dogs and playing smart, he and Zhao Si agreed on a kind of bird's call unique to the Qianhu Basin, this kind of bird can make more than a dozen sounds of different meanings, and it is very suitable to use it as a variety of codes.

At this time, Zhao Si began to hide in the corner to learn the bird's call, his voice is naturally different from the bird's voice, but the bird call code invented by Li Kun is not distinguished by the sound, but the length and frequency of the call, a few consecutive calls are one meaning, a few quick calls in a row and then a slow call is another meaning, and so on, Li Kun has long been familiar with Zhao Si's agreement.

Zhao Si shouted five times quickly and briefly, and then the voice stopped abruptly, followed by a long and breathless long tone, and finally a few short sounds, and Li Kun, who was walking in front of him, paused, and immediately shook and continued to move forward.

However, he had already received Zhao Si's warning, and knew that Zhao Si was going to shoot in the hidden place in front, and asked him to strike together.

In front of it was a dilapidated house, the weeds in the yard had almost spread to the street, and there were no pedestrians around, so it was a good time to make a move.

Li Kun walked and walked, and suddenly there was an oops, as if he stepped on something on the soles of his feet, his body fluttered, and he fell to the ground.

The two monks were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to step forward to check, but at this moment, Zhao Si, who had quietly climbed to the roadside wall, pounced on the tiger and fell from the sky, and two pitch-black palms slapped at the two of them.

Li Kun, who pretended to fall in front, also got up quickly and rushed back, the faces of the two Buddhist monks changed greatly, the monk with a long face and flesh muttered and didn't know what to say, stretched out the palm of the big fan and was about to grab Zhao Si in mid-air, and the triangular-eyed monk was even more vicious, pulled out the knife on his waist, and slashed at Zhao Si.

Zhao Si and the cross-fleshed monk slapped each other, the monk screamed, and suddenly turned into a rolling gourd, Zhao Si relied on the power of the palm, and moved slightly sideways in mid-air, avoiding the triangular-eyed monk's ring knife, and when his feet landed, he slapped it again.

I didn't think that the triangular-eyed monk suddenly threw down his companion, turned around and fled, at this time Li Kun happened to arrive, slapped with a palm, the palm was smelly, stinging and wanted to vomit, this palm just hit the back of the neck of the triangular eye monk, the monk didn't hum, his body fell to the ground softly, and he convulsed a few times on the ground, and then the seven orifices bled out, fishy and smelly, and collapsed on the ground, like a pile of boneless meat mud.

"This, this ......" Li Kun was startled, looking at his palm in disbelief, he was classified as a fire group, and he practiced it as a rotten bone palm, although he also killed some beasts and prey in the basin from time to time when he cultivated, but it was the first time to really fight against people, Li Kun never thought that his poisonous skill would be so powerful, he could kill people with one palm, and he died so quickly and so miserably.

"This is dead, this fucking waste dares to follow Lao Tzu!" Li Kun scolded.

Not to mention Li Kun's shock, Zhao Si walked to the side of the meat monk who kept screaming, this monk just had a lot of strength, and wanted to palm him, but as a result, Zhao Si was unscathed, but the monk was like being slashed by someone, holding his palm on the ground and screaming, Zhao Si turned his body over with his toes, and found that the horizontal meat monk had foamed at the mouth, and his voice became weaker and weaker, seeing that there was only breath out and no breath in.

Looking at the palm of the palm that was opposite to his own, Zhao Si was also startled, the hand of the monk was swollen like a pig's trotter at the moment, no, the pig's trotter could not be described in case, it should be an elephant's hoof, that palm was almost three times larger than the other one, and it was black and swollen, black and shiny, it seemed to be filled with black liquid, and the next moment it was going to break through the flesh and flow out.

"A Buddha is hot...... "The monk snorted weakly, his eyes were full of pity, probably begging Zhao Si to give him a good time, Zhao Si was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to kill a person who didn't resist, Li Kun walked over and kicked on the temple of the monk Hengrou, the monk let out a long breath, and an expression of relief appeared on his face, dead.

"Hurry up, someone may have heard the screams. Li Kun pulled Zhao Si and ran.

Zhao Si turned his head and looked at the two dead people lying on the ground as he ran, and after a long time, he suddenly said to Li Kun: "Senior brother, have we really become masters?"
