The silence lasted for a long time, and Li Zhiyan seemed to be giving Li Xiaofeng time to think about it, patiently sipping wine on the side, looking at the looming low buildings on the opposite bank with a relaxed expression.

Li Zhiyan is not worried about whether Li Xiaofeng understands what he wants to express, if Li Xiaofeng can't understand it, then at most it only means that they are not all the way. It's not that people along the way can't become teammates, so take advantage of it for a short time, and the worst result is nothing more than destroying this cultivation genius at this moment.

Just like Li Xiaoxi, the little girl was an important person when he liked it, but now that Li Xiaoxi has become a chess piece that involves a powerful relationship with the Hong Mansion, all he Li Zhiyan needs to do is use this chess piece carefully, that's all. But if you want to say that Li Zhiyan loves Li Xiaoxi when he was a child, he really likes it, at least it is true that Xiao Nizi often brings happiness to herself. However, it is not as exaggerated as the rumors in the market, and the two big moves to shake the original wealthy system, including dealing with the two elder families, are actually just for him Li Zhiyan's own hegemony to be more stable.

At this moment, how much Li Zhiyan hopes that Li Xiaofeng understands what he means, compared to Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaofeng at this moment is the only junior outside the family he likes. He hoped that Li Xiaofeng would understand that Li Yihong would not think about any miracles, and if he wanted to save Li Xiaoxi, he could only cooperate with him Li Zhiyan, and he had to beg to cooperate with him; The most important thing is that you Li Xiaofeng still have to follow my Li Zhiyan's script in order to go on well, otherwise I am afraid that in the end, you will only be beaten with chickens and eggs.

Li Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he thought of this, if Li Xiaofeng was really so ignorant, it would be a pity for such a genius.

"There are some things that are better explained." Li Xiaofeng finally spoke.

"Tell me about it"

"Since you agreed to Li Linlin's proposal, then I can't avenge Xiaoxi's revenge?"

"That depends on who you're targeting."

"What if I have to target the entire Hong Mansion?"

"Die! You're the first. The Great Elder still looked into the distance, never even looking back, and said flatly.

"Hehe, do you really think that you won't be able to move the Hongfu without me?" Li Xiaofeng slowly stood up and moved to the side to explode all his cultivation, trying to make Li Zhiyan understand his ability.

But the next moment, his eyes widened, staring at Li Zhiyan who slowly turned around in front of him in disbelief. The body is getting heavier and heavier, and the spiritual power of his whole body seems to be forcibly pulled by the ground, trying to flatten his body on the ground. Li Xiaofeng felt an unprecedented danger of death, and this pressure made him reach the extreme when he saw Li Zhiyan's cold eyes clearly, and his body fell directly to the ground disobediently, cold sweat flowing.

"I don't have time to feel the gap, but I have time to die?" Li Zhiyan paused: "Boy! The old man will give you another chance. ”

The sound Li Xiaofeng heard at this moment seemed to come directly from his brain, which made him feel a buzz in his brain, as if he could only give up resistance and kneel in front of Li Zhiyan to maintain that his brain would not burst.

"Hmph, I thought you were a child who knew the general situation, but the old man is a little disappointed now"

"Please make it clear to the Great Elder." At this moment, Li Xiaofeng still couldn't raise his head, and he couldn't raise his head, because his low facial expression was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and there were even two tears about to burst out of his eyes.

。。。。。。

The next day, Li Xiaofeng took the letter of appointment of the Great Elder and went to the city wall, where he took up an idle position. Responsible for planning routes for hunting teams and patrols, most of the time is to take a subordinate to the forest to survey the terrain, of course, this subordinate is also designated by the Great Elder, belonging to 'his own people'. Since taking office, almost no one can grasp the whereabouts of Li Xiaofeng and his subordinates, but no one cares, after all, it is a person assigned by the big man above, and he belongs to the guy who walks through the back door.

But what Li Xiaofeng really wants to do is to completely hide his identity and collect evidence of the Hong Mansion in the middle of the night in the form of a thief. What Li Zhiyan explained meant was that although the Hongfu was unfathomable now, it was impossible for there to be a second master of foundation building. With Li Xiaofeng's current strength, as long as he hides from the City Lord's Mansion a little, hiding in the shadows to investigate is the wisest choice. Li Zhiyan can use his own power to secretly cooperate with him, except for the content that is only about Li Xiaoxi, Li Xiaofeng can keep it for himself, and he must hand over all the information and evidence from the investigation to him every three days.

When Li Xiaofeng investigated and analyzed, he finally understood what the Great Elder wanted to do.

Just as the Great Elder put forward the condition: he provided Li Xiaofeng with a convenient path for the investigation, and promised to stand up and administer justice to Li Xiaoxi at a critical time. And Li Xiaofeng wants to give him a thorough investigation of the Hong Mansion and find out all the relationships of the Hong Mansion. It would be nice to find a way to get information about the secret book that the mysterious woman left behind in the first place.

The reason why Li Xiaofeng worked so hard to collect information for him was also the last sentence that Li Zhiyan told him - "If the conditions are right, at least I can help you get rid of Li Jianfan first." ”

Li Xiaofeng knew that whether it was Li Zhiyan's strength or the conditions proposed by Li Linlin, it was impossible for Li Zhiyan to refuse. Just as he himself could not refuse the cooperation of the Great Elder. Both sides share a common goal, and the weaker side becomes a pawn that can be discarded at any time.

Li Xiaofeng and Li Zhiyan both want to target Hongfu, Li Xiaofeng wants justice, and Li Zhiyan wants advantages. When Li Forest appeared, this was already the best ending that the two of them could do for the time being. Li Linlin let Li Xiaofeng know that he was going to destroy the hope of the Hongfu Manmen, which was basically in vain; What let Li Zhiyan know was that he would have to cooperate with the Hong Mansion for a long time from now on to complete his dream of revitalizing the clan. But there is a subtle point in this, Li Zhiyan will not be willing to subjugate the Yan Mansion, which has been in power for more than 200 years since his grandfather, to be subordinated to the Hong Mansion. Therefore, he wants to help Li Xiaofeng, not to be able to restrain the Hong Mansion from now on, at least to let everyone know and admit that he, Li Zhiyan, is still the great elder of this city, and the Hong Mansion is not qualified to replace him.

Time continues to pass day by day, and now the rumors about the snitch in the whole city are almost made into children's songs. Although Li Xiaofeng has not patronized the outermost two residential areas of the outer city, even the theft of grain from farmers and the theft of women's underwear from Qinglou are all counted on his head. The Qinglou woman even said that she saw a lewd thin man stealing her underwear. But only those big families who are close to the inner city or inner city know that the snitch is not a simple snitch. He often looks at high-end goods, and he doesn't take ordinary gold, silver and jewelry at all, and his favorite thing to steal is the kind of treasure that can't see the light. For example, the treasure that should have been in the Spring Mansion appeared in the Autumn Mansion, and if it was discovered by this snitch, it would definitely be stolen. And the kind of treasure that has never been made public and brought back from the forest is also the Snitch's favorite. However, of course, these operations are all tricks by Li Xiaofeng to deliberately confuse the public.

"I heard that you stole the underwear of the little lady in the Qinglou yesterday?" Li Xiaoxi squinted his eyes and pretended to ask Li Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to him.

"Yes, it smelled quite fragrant when I passed by, but I couldn't help it." Li Xiaofeng smiled evilly

"Okay, did you really steal it?"

"Haha, of course I lied to you"

After a brief stroking of his hands and the silence of looking at each other, Li Xiaoxi was worried

"Three days left, you..."

Li Xiaofeng pulled her hand up and put it on his chest, and looked solemnly into her eyes.

"Don't worry, in two days I will make all those who have hurt you pay"

"Brother Xiaofeng, take me away"

"Of course, I promised you."

"I mean, go now." Li Xiaoxi turned his body completely to face Li Xiaofeng

"Now?"

"yes, we don't have to go through the forest. Just walk along the boundary river and head north, find a place where you can live, and from now on I will weave and you will farm. Li Xiaoxi had heard Li Xiaofeng say a lot about things in this city recently, and she understood how dangerous it was to try justice for herself this time, so it was better to live in seclusion with Xiaofeng's brother from now on. Two hundred years ago, our ancestors migrated from the north, so if you go that way, you won't meet the people who live here again.

"Men plough and women weave... Li Xiaofeng thought about completely overthrowing the Hongfu, and then relied on his own strength to find a place in the city. He thought about taking Li Xiaoxi through the forest to a broader world after he built the foundation. But he never imagined that his future would be like this ... He suddenly faltered a little ...

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. If I really can't do it, I'll kill those two fathers and sons, and then take you away and fly away! After speaking, he hugged Li Xiaoxi and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

That night, Li Xiaofeng went to find Li Zhiyan again.

"Great Elder, if you put it off again and again, it will be Xiaoxi's wedding in three days."

"What are you anxious about, have you found evidence that the Hongfu blocked the loot of the Beast Hunters?"

Because of the influence of the fog, even the agricultural level of the guardian side is not self-sufficient at all. So for a long time, the guardians of the city walls had two teams on duty, one was a patrol and the other was a hunting team. Although the mission serves the same purpose, the content of the mission clearly distinguishes between the patrol's primary task of patrolling and the hunting party's mission of supplies.

As the peace lasted longer and longer, the needs of the people, or the needs of the wealthy families who were well fed and clothed, began to become higher and higher, and a higher-ranking contingent appeared.

The Beast Hunter Team literally, their main mission is to hunt fierce beasts. This team is usually composed of at least players above the Zhou Tian Realm, and even more than half of the members are from the Imperial Qi Realm. Hunting beasts means higher risks and higher rewards, and each return of the Beast Hunter usually brings back treasured items to the Guardians. There are materials, there are medicinal herbs, there are melons, fruits, foods, and so on. Even if you just bring back a pheasant, it will be more delicious and nourishing than other chickens.

Sometimes the hunting beast is successful, and the harvest is even more exaggerated, and each fierce beast can be described as a treasure all over its body. From the skin to the guts, each piece is only eligible for the people of the inner city. If it was a demon beast with Neidan, then only the Great Elder was qualified to decide how to distribute it.

According to the medical officers and cultivators who have eaten demon beasts, demon beast meat is an extremely beneficial tonic for cultivation after consumption, and ordinary people are far more beneficial than ordinary meat when consumed. There have been many children of wealthy families who have improved their realm by eating demon beast meat, so you can imagine the importance of the beast hunting team.

However, in the last ten years, since the Great Elder went into retreat, the Beast Hunters' record has been very dismal. The number of successful hunting demon beasts has dropped from about ten times a year to a maximum of once a year, and the inner pill has not appeared in ten years, and even in the last three years, there are no precious medicinal materials.

Originally, Li Zhiyan could easily find out the reasons for these things, but since Li Yihong began to meddle in the affairs of the beast hunting team seven years ago. In one year, the number of beast hunters doubled, and the next year, Li Zhiyan's good grandson, who was the captain of the beast hunting team, died in a beast hunting operation. Even more suspicious was the fact that soon after, the Beast Hunters' base camp caught fire, and all records were burned. So now Li Zhiyan knows that his grandson died at the hands of Li Yihong, even if he knows that the beast hunting team in the past ten years has all served his Hongfu family. He was helpless at all, and arranged Li Xiaofeng to the position of a city wall, hoping that it would be more convenient for him to investigate this matter. So far, there has been no progress.
