Chapter 22: Sleepless Nights

The news of the man in black leaving the lake was soon known to the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness.

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness would practice in the practice room every night, he was already at the peak of the Xuan Realm, and the accumulation of true qi was no longer necessary for this realm. Only by feeling and understanding the connection between one's own mind and heaven and earth can one make a breakthrough in the realm and be one step closer to the Great Dao.

When he first arrived in the Northern Wilderness, he was often at a loss at night, did not know the way to cultivate his mind, and felt hesitant because of worldly things, and did not know how to go in the future.

But now it is different, his mood is becoming calmer and calmer, no longer complaining, but devoting himself to all kinds of miscellaneous things. He wanted to understand the entanglement of the opinions of various forces in the world, and he wanted to know the bottom line of Tianfu and when he would be able to return to the demon kingdom.

All this made him feel happy and comfortable, there was no confusion and confusion in his heart, and the obstacles in his mood did not exist, obviously he had not cultivated for a long time, his cultivation did not decrease but increased, and he recovered the strength of the most high-spirited time in the past, perhaps stronger than then.

If he is given a certain amount of time, it won't take him a few years to become a master of the Moon Gazing Realm and step into the ranks of the real masters of this world.

A short, round, middle-aged man came to the practice room of the Northern Wilderness Marquis and interrupted his thoughts.

This person's name is Guisheng, and like Yingbai, he was his guard when the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness was an infancy, and the two of them were the diehards of his mother and the most trusted people of the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness. At this time, no one else dared to disturb, and only the two of them were able to come in.

"Master Hou, someone came to report just now that the rats left in Tianfu were killed and scattered, and only one escaped, and the people we arranged did not make a move."

"Oh? The medicine lady is really a good eye, and the selected disciples really have some skills. The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness sighed, "Uncle Sheng, isn't this kind of news worth telling me in the middle of the night, is there anything else?" ”

"Hou Ye is smart, Liu Zong, the captain of Tianfu, is camped thirty miles outside the city, and he hasn't moved for a day, and the rats that ran out are also going in that direction."

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness was stunned: "Do they still want to stay?" That's not going to work, you can't let them stay there, and you can't let them go back to the city, put some pressure on them to leave. ”

"Yes, Master Hou." Guisheng bowed and retired.

The Marquis of the Northern Wilderness thought about the old immortal guy in the Demon Kingdom, thinking about the chaos in the Heavenly Mansion, and his thoughts slowly returned to the present.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so sacrifice it."

……

Thirty miles outside the city, several tents stood on a hillside, and by a bonfire, two soldiers were keeping vigil.

Suddenly, there was a small sound at the foot of the mountain, and the two soldiers immediately went over to investigate. As soon as the man in black showed his figure, he was restrained by two soldiers one after the other, the blade was pointed at his throat, the soldier did not speak, and the man in black did not dare to move.

In the tent, Liu Zong was woken up, came to the tent, looked at the man in black in front of him, his face was gloomy, and he didn't speak after a while.

"You've failed? Why is it only you and the others? ”

Needless to say, the man in black said that his image was enough to say everything, his clothes were in tatters, and there was still blood stains on his body, like a lost dog.

"Only...... I'm the only one left. ”

"What?!" Liu Zong was taken aback, it was impossible for a small Foundation Building Realm cultivator to beat these five well-trained killers like this.

"Does she have a helper?"

The man in black didn't dare to say bluntly that the five of them were defeated by two children, so he just nodded.

Liu Zong got an affirmative answer, and his heart was so confused that he had long forgotten to complain that he hadn't informed himself before these wastes started. I thought that if it weren't for their greed, I am afraid that I would not be able to do well now.

"Captain Liu, I got a very important news, that fugitive is going to Xingyue Pool to change her appearance, and we will never be able to catch her again."

Liu Zong was stunned, is this person crazy, now that outsiders are intervening, it is basically impossible to catch the fugitive back, if it is not good, there will be a worry about his life. At this time, how could he continue to wade through the troubled waters.

Seeing Liu Zong's frowns, the man in black hurriedly said: "My lord, it doesn't matter if we fail to chase and kill, if there is no trace of the fugitive, and even the ability to find someone in the future, the master will probably not let us go." ”

When Liu Zong heard this, his body shook suddenly, he transferred troops out privately, which was equivalent to sending the handle up by himself, just to hug the thigh of the second master, if it failed, it was okay, it was a big deal to run in vain, if he messed things up, he would be out of control at that time, and he would probably lose his life. If he didn't go back to Damian Lake to fight for his life, he just walked away, indicating that the affairs in the city had nothing to do with him, but it was just unfavorable, and he might be able to live.

In such a dilemma, Liu Zong was hesitating, and suddenly found that the soldiers were in a little commotion, it turned out that at the foot of the mountain, there was a team of cavalry, and they were daring to circle around the hill, which was surveying the terrain. Liu Zong was shocked, he understood that this was a precursor to the army's attack, I am afraid that the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness saw that he did not leave, and sent troops to deter, if he did not leave, I am afraid that he would have to stay forever.

Liu Zong immediately ordered the camp to be pulled out and evacuated overnight.

"Brother, you can see it now, Damian Lake is very disgusted with us camping here, and if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will attack us."

"Here are all soldiers of Tianfu, do they really dare?" The man in black was incredulous.

"You and I know in our hearts, what if they do it, if they really investigate it, Tianfu wants to kill a general like me who acts privately more than them."

"Brother, it's better to go back to the city first, let's pretend to leave and ask for help, and afterwards, I will also change into civilian clothes to hide my identity and enter the city to meet you."

Where is the man in black willing to believe it, you obviously want to escape.

Liu Zong saw that the man in black was suspicious, and said: "It's difficult to ride a tiger now, if things don't work out, the second master will blame it, and my career in this life will basically be broken." Brother still doesn't believe me? ”

"Lizi, you take off your armor, follow this brother, and go to the city to assist him."

"After entering the city, if you can't do anything, you can go to the leopard's house to find the old man Leopard Ying to try, at the banquet, he is quite attentive to me, obviously to take the door of Tianfu, you must be a guest of honor, he will definitely save your life."

A young soldier takes off his armor and sneaks back into the city with the man in black.

Liu Zong ran away with someone, and if he couldn't be promoted, he couldn't be promoted, and his life was the most important thing. This matter ended here, he Liu Zong was driven away by the Marquis of the Northern Wilderness, so he went back directly, other things have nothing to do with him, he thinks he is a wine bag and rice bag.

……

The night was very lively, and Wu Sikou sighed as he looked at the information sent.

"What's going on, what does he think of my pass in Damian Lake, he can come and leave whenever he wants, are the people of Tianfu so unruly now?"

"Judge, you take a few people, teach them a lesson, be ruthless, people with no identity will die."

……

You Ziji found that the man in black had fled and hurriedly chased after him, but unfortunately unlike the search for the demon king in the cave, the streets were empty, and the wind blowing technique was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it did not bring useful information.

The five Lingqi were no longer under the control of anyone, and they were easily pulled down by Xiaohu.

The two returned to the restaurant and buried the fat shopkeeper's body first.

After a big battle in the hall, it was a mess, and the little fox seemed to have some worries and did not speak. You Ziji took care of himself to clean up the gravel and wood chips in the house, dug up the body of the man in black, he pulled all four corpses to the backyard and buried them, and only after cleaning up did he return to the main hall.

When You Ziji found the man in black, the fat shopkeeper had just been killed, there must have been communication between them, and there is a great possibility that the man in black only stopped talking after getting some information.

I'm afraid that there will be a change in the matter of going to Xingyue Pool the day after tomorrow, and the enemy should already know the purpose of the two, and he will definitely prepare a trap and wait for the two people to get into it, and what awaits them will be Longtan Tiger's Den.

"You'd better not go to the Star Moon Pool."

Xiaohu suddenly spoke, and You Ziji put down the work in his hand, "Why?" ”

"You just want to find a friend, if you can't do it this month, you can do it next month, and there will be opportunities in the future, so why bother to send you to death now."

"What about you? What is your reason to definitely go? ”

"Me? Those killers are coming for me, there is no time, the day after tomorrow is the last chance, I always have to fight. ”

"I've been burdening you today, can I continue to put you in danger?"

"I won't hide it from you, when I enter the Xingyue Pool, I will use the power of the stars to change my appearance meridians, no one will know me again, I will leave here to avenge my family, so I said a long time ago, you don't have to know who I am."

Xiaohu put her plan out of the package, she chose to trust You Ziji, after today's events, they should be regarded as friends of life and death.

Of course, You Ziji will not let her down, "Since this is the case, I have to help you even more, we are friends." ”

"Even if I don't know your name."

Xiaohu was very happy, and before You Ziji replied, she was traumatized and sensitive in her heart. Although the future is uncertain, it is worth the trip to have a good friend by your side.

"The previous name is a shackle to me, it doesn't matter if you don't know, when I have a new identity, I will tell you."

"Let's wait until we get through this."

You Ziji pondered for a moment and said, "We can't continue to live in this restaurant. How many people can you influence? ”

"If circumstances allow, this hall should be about the same." The little fox pointed around.

"Enough, tomorrow we will put on a show, so that outsiders think that the big bug is still alive, let's leave here and hide, and after the Xingyue Pool opens, we will go in with the seal of the big bug."

"Even if the enemy finds us, they can't find us, so we have a day to prepare."

"Come, let's set this place up, and don't let those monsters find out tomorrow."

Since the great changes in the family, no one has communicated with Xiaohu sincerely, she hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, it's really good to have someone to help with ideas, anyway, things won't be bad anymore.

As long as you enter the Star Moon Pool, everything will be fine.

……

Early the next morning, the little fox dressed up as a big insect and released all the monsters in the firewood room.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"What about the two evil stars?"

“……”

When all the sounds gradually stopped, Xiaohu controlled his voice and said: "Those two guys were fugitives, and yesterday someone from the government came to investigate, repelled the two and saved me." ”

"It's okay now, don't be lazy one by one! Clean up all the things that were broken yesterday, and don't affect me to open a store to make money. ”

"I'm going to go into retreat these days, grow my hands out, and don't bother me if there's nothing to do."

After speaking, he left in the complaining eyes of a group of monsters. The monsters lamented in their hearts that it was better to be locked up, at least not to work.

Sure enough, there were no monsters in the hall who noticed anything unusual.
