In martial arts, there is a saying that martial arts talents can be divided into two categories:

Innate and posterior

The innate can be said to be the darling of the heavens, maybe they are born with access to the meridians, maybe they are born with divine power, and they are also born with intelligence and can understand martial arts at all. Although this kind of character is rare, the top powerhouses in the martial arts all seem to have some kind of innate advantage to help them grow rapidly.

The so-called latecomers are the ordinary qualifications of the general public, and almost the vast majority of people belong to this list, but where there is a will, there is a way, and the so-called kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. Through the continuous efforts of the day after tomorrow, the future of martial arts is naturally immeasurable.

That person with a body of more than eight feet and natural divine power naturally belongs to an innate martial artist, if he cultivates hard the day after tomorrow and constantly sharpens himself, how terrible will it be?

One punch knocked the senior brother of the first sect of the righteous path away, this is the terrifying strength of such a martial artist.

Liu Xin couldn't control his body when he landed this time, and the powerful force forced him to fall to the ground hard, and only by rolling did he disintegrate the majestic force on his body.

After the power was dissipated by a few rolls, Liu Xin took advantage of the momentum to turn over, and the arm that supported his body trembled violently, just hard to catch it, which had already injured his arm bones, and maybe even cracked bones!

The internal force in the body condensed and converged towards the arm, protecting the injured arm bone and relieving the pain that was constantly emanating there.

"Hey, what a natural divine power, it's really unfair to God sometimes!"

Liu Xin was still in the mood to speak at this time, because Lin Xiaoqi had already taken the opportunity to drag the killer who fell to the ground and was hit by an arrow aside.

The two officers were still hiding under the cart, trembling, their faces were pale, and they were probably panicked. They are just ordinary servants, not even fast catchers, that is, ordinary people who are stronger than ordinary people.

The giant looked at Lin Xiaoqi and the killer who was constantly wailing, and then at Liu Xin, who had straightened up, he was close to the distance between the two, but he also seemed to know that if Liu Xin was not completely solved, Liu Xin would be a trouble.

"Hey, why don't you speak, is it because your voice is not good, and you are a little shy?" Liu Xin grinned and teased the giant.

But the giant was unmoved, and only a pair of eyes were revealed that exuded an astonishing killing intent.

Solala...

On the giant's other arm, there was also a rough iron chain, which was very thick, like an adult's forearm, and was mottled with rust, so it was yellowish.

Boom....

Liu Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if there are two of these things, is it considered cheating, he is unarmed!

Sou!

At the moment when Liu Xin was stunned, the giant threw out the iron chain, and actually made a sound like a spear breaking through the air, Liu Xin flashed sideways, but the second iron chain had already swept over!

The giant's chain is very fancy, and in addition to being used as a whip, it can also be used to slash with a knife and axe, and stab with a spear. And because of the nature of its own iron chain, this kind of attack becomes both flexible and complex, but also full of power and destructive power.

The chains were whistling and flying, occasionally rubbing some sparks when rubbing the ground, Liu Xin really had to thank Professor Xue Sheng for his light and light goose body technique, otherwise he might not even be able to barely cope with this kind of attack.

"You're just bullying me for not having a weapon!" Liu Xin took the time to scold angrily, it was too late to say anything now, and it was better to know that it was better to carry a dagger with him than now.

What's even worse is that at the same time as the giant attacked, the arrows in the distance began to appear again, Liu Xin's back was locked by the cold light, Liu Xin's secret path was not good, and the giant's attack also became more violent at the same time.

"This monster!" Liu Xin gritted his teeth and went all out, and his body even pulled out the phantom and retreated sharply, only then did he avoid the three arrows shot and the giant's two chains at the same time.

The giant saw that Liu Xin had widened the distance between him and him, but he didn't care about Liu Xin, turned around and strode towards Lin Xiaoqi.

Liu Xin knew that it was not good, and immediately shouted: "Lin Xiaoqi, go quickly, leave that person alone!" ”

When Lin Xiaoqi heard this, he immediately retreated, the giant didn't seem to care about Lin Xiaoqi at all, and when he got closer, he went over with an iron chain, and the killer was directly drawn up by the huge force, and there was no reaction when he landed.

Liu Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the giant, and the giant also glanced back at Liu Xin.

Dangdangdang....

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and then someone was heard shouting from the direction where the arrow was fired: "Hurry up!" ”

The giant seemed to frown when he heard this, and then he didn't hesitate for too long, and strode into an alley, his huge body could only pass through the narrow alley, and as the giant's figure completely disappeared into the shadow of the alley, at the end of the road, Ding Mingfu's figure finally appeared.

Ding Mingfu's face was gloomy, just now he approached here with the captain of the hundred households, when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and secretly said that there was a problem in his heart, so he hurried over, and then saw a mess in front of him.

Liu Xin's body was covered with dust, and he looked extremely embarrassed, Lin Xiaoqi's face was shocked, he was really frightened by the giant before, such a strange power, coupled with a huge body but still possessing extremely fast speed, such a martial artist he had never heard of, and he didn't even dare to think that there would be such a person.

Ding Mingfu stepped forward and ordered someone to check on the four killers, while he came to Liu Xin's side and said with concern: "Lord Liu, are you okay?" ”

Liu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'm fine?" Although it is a little embarrassing, this case is really getting more and more interesting! ”

.....

"Attacked? Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing in the imperial capital...... Behind this Imperial Horse Supervision case, there is something unusual......" Liu Licheng received the news, he looked a little surprised, and then he looked even more worried.

Baihu Cheng Guotao stood aside, and also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly spoke:

"Lord Liu! Did you inform Shao Shiwang? After all, something happened in his jurisdiction. ”

"Shhhh The guy ...... Shame on Jinyiwei, I'm ashamed to be with him, this case is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, if you can pull one more, pull one more! ”

"What the adults said is, but this matter will definitely reach the heavens, and the situation will expand, it is estimated that Kou Gang will not be able to escape, and you can just get out, my lord."

"What you said also has some truth, so it's the best, this Liu Xin didn't inadvertently insert willows and did me a big favor."

"My lord, are you going to continue to win over this Liu Xin......" Cheng Guotao said with some hesitation.

Liu Licheng waved his hand and said, "This Liu Xin is somewhat interesting, but ...... Let's take a look. ”

"Yes." Cheng Guotao understood that Liu Licheng had moved his mind, but he had not yet made up his mind. This Liu Xin does have some ability, but having ability does not necessarily mean that it is easy to use, especially their current situation is not too good, and an obedient person is far more important than a useful person.

"Continue to let Liu Xin investigate, if you find out, the credit will naturally be ours. I couldn't find out, so I just removed him. It's all good for us. ”

Cheng Guotao came back to his senses and said yes again and again.

On the other side, Wenxuanfang Hundred Households, Liu Xin has returned to the Hundred Households, there are special doctors who have given Liu Xin medicine, and his arm has also been checked, and it is already a bone crack, and this kind of injury will take at least two or three months to heal, but this is for ordinary people, for people like Liu Xin who can rely on internal force to accelerate the healing of injuries, it will be about half a month.

But before returning to the Hundred Households, something happened.

Liu Licheng sent someone from there and took away the bodies of the four killers, for no reason, just that Qianhu commanded.

Ding Mingfu was a little angry at that time and wanted to attack, but Liu Xin stopped him, and it was not until he finished taking the medicine that Ding Mingfu came in to report that Cheng Guotao came to visit.

"Hurry up and please!" Liu Xin said, and then he was stunned, and suddenly some fragments flashed in his mind, and he suddenly fell into deep thought.

Ding Mingfu hurriedly went, and Cheng Guotao was already waiting in the main hall.

Not long after, Cheng Guotao came to Liu Xin's room, and Liu Xin was already waiting here at this time.

"Liu Baihu, are you okay? Today, I heard that you have been attacked, who would dare to do it in the imperial capital! After Cheng Guotao came in, he first asked with concern, and then began to ask about Liu Xin's attack today.

Liu Xin asked Cheng Guotao to serve tea, and then said quietly: "I didn't expect that the thief would be so fierce and dare to do something in this imperial capital." ”

Cheng Guotao picked up the teacup and looked at Liu Xin with concern: "I heard that Liu Baihu was injured." ”

Liu Xin nodded, pointed to his right arm and said, "That thief is fierce, my little arm bone is broken, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent me from continuing to handle the case!" ”

Cheng Guotao looked at Liu Xin's arm, where he was wrapped in bandages, and there was a faint smell of medicine, he was also a senior martial artist, and when he smelled this smell, he knew that Liu Xin's arm was indeed injured, and it should be a bone fracture or something. He frowned deeply, and said with some concern: "Liu Baihu found out something today, how could he let that thief be so ferocious and dare to attack Jinyi Wei on the street, it seems that behind this royal horse prison case, there is a big predator hidden!" ”

Liu Xin nodded affirmatively, and worry appeared on his face: "That's right, the one who dares to touch my Jinyi Guard must be in a high position, and this case is probably not easy to investigate." ”

Cheng Guotao smiled at this time: "Liu Baihu doesn't have to worry too much, Jinyi Wei is His Majesty's pro-army, who is older than Your Majesty in the world, Liu Qianhu has already ordered this matter here, the clue that Liu Baihu found this time is very important, and we will continue to investigate along this clue." As for Liu Baihu, now that you are injured, you might as well be on the side to assist me and others, and the matter of charging into battle will be done by me." ”

Liu Xin nodded and said: "This is the best, if Lord Qianhu can make a move, he will definitely be able to capture that thief!" ”

Cheng Guotao smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "By the way, what did Liu Baihu find out about the person who attacked you?" ”

Liu Xin recalled for a moment and said: "That person is full of brute strength, with two thick iron chains, and his martial arts are strong!" ”

Cheng Guotao continued to ask: "Then how is this person's cultivation?" ”

Liu Xin replied honestly: "Before I left my hometown, the master told me that I am now a Xiaocheng Realm martial artist, and I can be regarded as a little master of martial arts, that person is stronger than me, and it is estimated that he is already a Dacheng Realm!" ”

Cheng Guotao nodded solemnly, in fact, he did not doubt Liu Xin's cultivation in the small Cheng Realm, at first he was a little surprised, the kid from such a small place actually had the cultivation of the Xiao Cheng Realm, but after thinking about it carefully, the old Liu Baihu is such a nephew, and it is estimated that the resources invested are not small. But for Liu Xin to say that the attacker had a Dacheng realm cultivation, he scoffed at him.

Although I had already found someone to understand the situation from the small flag and the two errand officers before I came, although the giant man was brave, he was also infinitely powerful, and it was estimated that he was a congenital wrestler. But to say that he is a Dacheng Realm, it is impossible at all, if it is really a Dacheng Realm, this Liu Xin is estimated to have been cold a long time ago, how can it be just a small injury such as a bone crack.

After understanding everything he wanted to know, Cheng Guotao said a few more words of greeting, and then got up to leave.

Liu Xin didn't move in place, and when Ding Mingfu sent Cheng Guotao away, Senior Brother Cheng entered the duty room quietly, glanced at Liu Xin's arm and asked:

"Is it really Dacheng Realm?"

Senior Brother Cheng wanted to ask about the giant man, Liu Xin nodded, and said with a smile:

"I didn't deceive Cheng Guotao, it's none of my business whether he believes it or not!"

Senior Brother Cheng nodded: "Lin Xiaoqi's martial arts are not yet in the Xiaocheng realm, and his vision is limited. There are also those two errand soldiers, and they can't see the level of martial arts realm. There shouldn't be anything wrong with your rhetoric. ”

"Don't talk about this!" Liu Xin put down the teacup and touched his right arm, there was still a faint sense of pain coming from the cracked bones, but this kind of injury was really a minor injury for a martial artist of Xiaocheng Realm and above.

"Senior Brother Cheng, can you help me check the details of that giant man, and if you want to go in the direction of the Northern Barbarians!"

Senior Brother Cheng was a little surprised: "How do you know that person is a Northern Barbarian?" ”

Liu Xin replied with a smile: "By one sentence, Senior Brother Cheng, if we are in the middle of an interception and need to retreat urgently at this time, how will you give the order?" ”

Although Senior Brother Cheng was a little confused, he still said honestly: "Retreat!" Or go! ”

Liu Xin nodded: "That's right, retreat urgently, naturally the simpler the order, the better." But when the retreating man gave the order today, he said to leave quickly! Four words, at this time, does it seem a little redundant! ”

Senior Brother Cheng nodded, but he was still a little puzzled: "But this doesn't mean that they are Northern Barbarians!" ”

Liu Xin leaned back in the chair and said slowly: "I believe that in an emergency, people will subconsciously make or say the words they are most accustomed to. The retreat in the Northern Barbarian language actually has four sounds. So I was thinking, if the person who gave the order was a northern barbarian, maybe because of this habit at that time, the order to retreat would involuntarily turn into four words. ”

Senior Brother Cheng didn't expect Liu Xin to be so familiar with the Northern Barbarian language, and couldn't help but pull out Liu Xin's image in his heart, this little junior brother has not seen him for so many years, but he has grown up so fast, Senior Brother Cheng sighed in his heart, and then said in his mouth: "No problem, I will arrange someone to check." There were not many northern barbarians in the imperial capital, only a small number of merchants and a few envoys in the Honglu Temple. It should be easier to check. ”

Liu Xin nodded, his eyes fell on his injured arm again, and then continued: "This big man shouldn't be an unknown person, his strength hasn't been fully shown, I think he should be a character I know." ”

Senior Brother Cheng wrote down what Liu Xin said, said a few more words to Liu Xin, and then left the duty room to arrange for the investigation of the Northern Barbarians. In the imperial capital, Liu Xin wants to contact the secret investigation team, and the intermediary is Senior Brother Cheng.

After a while, Liu Xin ordered all the colonels and officers who had gone out to do business today to come to him for a meeting after they returned.

At the same time, the imperial capital is outside the city to the east of the city, and the city is in the east.

There are two major bazaars in the imperial capital, the scale is very large, and almost all the large transactions are completed in these two bazaars, one is the east market and the other is the west market.

There was a dynasty before Zhengyang, the capital of Chang'an, at that time there were also two cities in Chang'an City, and the imperial capital was modeled after the layout of Chang'an City.

Although the eastern and western markets are both bazaars, they actually have different roles and division of labor. The East Market is mainly aimed at some rare goods, or goods of relatively high value, and the groups are middle- and high-level people, that is, merchants, gentry and officials.

The West Market is more for the people at the bottom, and the goods bought and sold are more of the basic things that the people rely on for survival, such as grain, cloth...

However, when it comes to the area of the two cities, the east market is more than twice the size of the west market, and most of the shops in it are extremely elaborate small buildings. And among the countless buildings in the East Market, there is an inconspicuous courtyard, the front hall of the small courtyard is the façade where the store is located, which sells some leather goods, which are worth a lot of money, and are most loved by the ladies and ladies of rich families.

The shop, called Dong Nuan Pavilion, was run by a down-and-out talent who lived in the north and accidentally came into contact with some herdsmen in the north, so he gradually began to buy and sell this leather goods. Although it is leather goods, most of the high-end leather goods sold in this winter warm pavilion are fox fur, bear skin, tiger skin, etc., and they are also for the most high-end customers. This old talent has also gained a lot of fame in this East City.

In the backyard of the Winter Warm Pavilion, there are many shelves, drying all kinds of furs, at this time the northern land has just begun to cool, far from the best season for this fur to sell, so these furs should be taken out to dry, otherwise there will be a peculiar smell.

At this time, two of the guys in the shop were turning their furs so that they could get the sun on both sides. The door of the backyard slowly opened, and several figures walked into the backyard, past the yard where the furs were drying, and then into a room, and in the process, the two fur-turning workers did not even look up at them.

When the men entered the house, they immediately began to take off their coats, revealing the strange costumes that were made of various fabrics like beggars.

One of them was extraordinarily tall, and like the others, he was still wrapped in thick chains when he had taken off his strange costume.

This person was the giant man who attacked Liu Xin, and his face was indeed characteristic of the Northern Barbarians.

"The young man...... It's amazing, have time to check what is the origin of this person? After the giant man took off his clothes, but still retained the thick iron chains that covered his body, he slowly sat down on the table beside him, and made a dull voice in his mouth, and said in the Northern Barbarian language.

"Yes, Fuwa-sama!" Another man on the side replied in Northern Barbarian.

If Liu Xin heard the name Buhe, he would definitely be able to react immediately.

Two years ago, Holy Sect Liu Xin and Evil Sect Xue Sheng worked together to formulate a list of the top 100 masters in the rivers and lakes, which was just a joke between the two at first, and then it was leaked out somehow, but it was unexpectedly recognized by the rivers and lakes.

And this cloth and he is the tenth master of the Northern Barbarians in the top 100 list of rivers and lakes!
