Chapter 16: Suspicion

That night, Li Shi slept in his new home, and he didn't fall asleep all night, just meditated and practiced in bed, with his sword across his lap.

In the evening, he negotiated with Jiang Asheng, Li gave Jiang Asheng two taels of silver per month, Jiang Asheng was responsible for taking care of the horse, Jiang Asheng also had to build a stable, and Li paid for the purchase of horse raising equipment and the money for building the stable.

Tomorrow I will buy things first, and the next morning will start work.

After Jiang Asheng asked Li if he was a martial arts practitioner, he did not continue to ask on this topic.

But Li always felt that something was wrong, maybe because Li had watched the movie and knew the plot, and preconceived that with Jiang Asheng's cleverness and profundity, it was likely that he had seen something.

After all, Jiang Asheng is the first person to play a pig and eat a tiger in the movie. This made Li is doubt whether it was appropriate for him to contact the other party today.

Li Shi didn't sleep all night, waiting for Jiang Asheng's possible "visit". But it wasn't until the sunrise that the rooster crowed and no one came to the door that Li Shi was amused at his nervousness.

He didn't sleep all night, Li is spirit was full of energy, without the slightest sleep, he didn't expect that the true qi of warding off evil spirits would have such an effect.

And there is also an unexpected joy, after a whole night of cultivation, the more clear and mellow the mind becomes, it seems to have entered a state of divine clarity, without Li is deliberate guidance, the true qi of warding off evil spirits has been running on its own for more than ten weeks, and when Li is aware of it, he immediately jumped out of this state.

He had inadvertently entered the state of concentration that practitioners of internal strength were so eager for, but unfortunately the time it lasted was too short.

But in just a dozen or so weeks, the excessive medicinal properties of Li is body were completely absorbed, and he could clearly feel that the true qi of warding off evil spirits had grown a little stronger, and his body was more agile.

This also means that Li can continue to take drying medicine again. It is no wonder that people who practice martial arts, especially those who refine their internal skills, attach great importance to "entering the concentration".

If I can enter the meditation every time I cultivate in the future, then wouldn't I be able to practice without limitation? But he also knew that it was something that could be met but not wanted.

Yue Buqun also said when teaching Lin Ping's internal strength that the deeper the internal strength cultivation, the easier it is to enter the concentration, and at the same time, there are also high requirements for the mind.

In the afternoon, Li came to the tea stall to find Cai Po, drinking tea and chatting with Cai Po.

Cai Po's tea stall is not big, but there are many types of tea, and there is a group tea from Wuyi Mountain.

In the era when Lin Pingzhi lived, the Ming court issued a ban during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, prohibiting the grinding and steaming of Qingtuan tea, abolishing Longtu tea, and reforming loose tea.

But the three generations of the Lin family are wealthy, so they can naturally buy rare Longtuan tea, and Lin Pingzhi has been drinking Longtuan tea since he was a child. Although the quality of Cai Po's group tea here is average, it also makes Lin Pingzhi's taste buds feel the long-lost taste of his hometown.

"Po Cai, I heard from you that there is a carpenter who makes very good furniture, I want to change the furniture in the house, why don't you take me to see it?"

"Oh, Li Gongzi has a vision, that old Wang's furniture skills are really good, it is said that his master once did carpentry work for the palace."

"That's great."

"You go south along the street, like this, like this is the home of Carpenter Wang, and when you get to the name of the old man, I will definitely give you a good and cheap price."

"Alas, Aunt Cai, I don't know anything when I'm a young child, why don't you go with me? Help me grow my eyes, and I'll add some extra tea money to ensure that Aunt Cai doesn't work in vain. ”

"Oh, what kind of money is not money, the old body can earn a few dollars a day from this small tea stall. The main reason is that the old woman is worried that Li Gongzi will not be able to buy satisfactory furniture. ”

Cai Po was about to get up, and suddenly thought of something, "No, I'm going to get some medicinal materials for the Jiang family lady in a while." ”

"Aunt Cai, what kind of medicine, is it urgent?" Li is said as he took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and straightened the corners of the silver tickets in front of Cai Po, each with a denomination of hundreds of taels.

"Oh, it's not in a hurry, it's okay to give it to her tomorrow, let's take a walk, the old woman's tea stall will be closed today." After that, Cai Po pulled Li Shi and rushed to Carpenter Wang's house, but she didn't even tidy up the tea stall.

Li is estimating that Heishi will almost be able to find Zeng Jing's residence today. After all, Jiang Asheng showed the deposit ticket when he went to the money bank to withdraw money, and the name of the depositor is usually recorded on the small-amount deposit ticket, Heishi is afraid that he has already found this clue, but he will not start to act until Ye Feiqing scares the color actor to enter Beijing to converge, after all, Drizzle was the number one master under the Blackstone Wheel King, so he has to be cautious.

According to the development of the plot, after Lei Bin found Zeng Jing, he would kill Cai Po in order to give her a dismount. Li had a good impression of Cai Po, and couldn't bear to let her die because of it, so he broke Cai Po.

After the two arrived at Carpenter Wang's house, Li Shi left in a hurry as if he suddenly remembered something, and instructed Cai Po to choose furniture carefully, and he would come back in the evening, discuss the final result with her, and pay Cai Po ten taels of silver in advance.

After that, Li Huangyou went to the inn where he lived before, and neither Jinyiwei nor Heishi replied to him.

It seems that Jinyiwei is not interested in Blackstone at the moment, and Blackstone's operation to "clean up the portal" does not intend to involve himself as a foreign aid.

……

Zeng Jing came out of the stall half an hour later than usual today, but after she came, she found that Cai Po was not at the tea stall, and she was originally going to ask Cai Po about some things, about her new neighbor Li Gongzi.

When that Li Gongzi visited Zeng Jing, she found that the other party's right hand tiger mouth was calloused, which was a trace that only people who practiced martial arts all year round would have.

And when she herself was looking for Ghost Li's hand to change her appearance, she also deliberately removed some traces that people who practice martial arts.

The day before yesterday, Zeng Jing had to expose his martial arts when he was in Qianzhuang, and yesterday a person who practiced martial arts became his neighbor, could there really be such a coincidence?

The reason why she came a little late was that after confirming that Li Gongzi was not at home, she sneaked into the room to look for it, but did not find anything suspicious.

So she decided to ask Cai Po to see if she could find some clues.

Suddenly, a faint sound of breaking the air interrupted Drizzle's musings.

Zeng Jing Huo Ran turned around, only to see the pot of boiling tea eggs in front of Cai Po's tea stall turned over on the ground, and the tea soup and eggs were rolling all over the street, but the children wandering on the street rushed up, regardless of the fact that the eggs were still very hot, and ran away after grabbing a few in one hand.

Zeng Jing looked in the direction where the sound of breaking the air came, and a man in his thirties was waving to him on the roof of the opposite shop.

Lei Bin! One of the three masters of Blackstone, he is good at killing people with steel needles.

Heishi finally found himself, and the next moment Lei Bin jumped and disappeared.

Zeng Jing thought of her husband Jiang Asheng and hurriedly ran home. When you open the door, you will be greeted by three black pebbles.

Not only did Blackstone find her, but he also knew about her home, which meant that her husband was in danger at the moment.

"Lady, come back so early today?" Jiang Asheng's voice sounded behind her.

Zeng Jing hurriedly put the pebbles into his sleeve, turned around and said, "I forgot to bring something." ”

Jiang Asheng walked to Zeng Jing and said: "I bought all the things for Xiao Li to cover the stable, he is not there, I will pile up at the door of his house, I happen to be hungry, so I will come back to find something to eat."

Looking at the background of her husband walking towards the kitchen, Zeng Jing felt that she had to do something.
