In addition to the two huge kingdoms of the Li Empire and the Dreadnought Empire in the God of War Continent, there are also four small countries around the Holy Mountain, which are not large, each country only occupies two or three counties, the population is only one million, and the cities are only four or five!

However, the land of these four countries is at the intersection of the forces of the two empires, and with the blessing of the Emperor of the Sword Sect of the Holy Mountain, these four countries have continued to multiply! In the end, they have formed an alliance with each other and are known as the Four Nations Alliance, and they are competing with the two empires! Of course, in terms of national strength and force, the alliance of the four countries is far inferior to the two empires, but fortunately, with the protection of the Sword Sect from time to time, it has temporarily been safe and sound, and has become a buffer zone between the two empires!

The Li Empire and the Dreadnought Empire have been fighting each other for many years, and they are like fire and water, so these four-nation alliances also assume an important responsibility, that is, to communicate with each other! Therefore, although the national strength is not strong, in terms of economy, these four-nation alliances are much richer than the two great empires that have been fighting for many years!

As the most powerful and powerful kingdom of the Four-Power Alliance, Liang has been stretching for more than 700 years, and the emperors of the past dynasties have worked hard to make the people of this small kingdom stable!

Compared with the Li Empire, the capital city of Liang State, which is much smaller, is more vibrant and energetic, with business and travel gatherings, all kinds of people circulate, and the noisy sound of the entire street market is shocking, but it makes people who hear it can't help but feel a vigorous breath of life!

Next to a table by the window on the second floor of the Deyue Building, a young man who looked no more than twenty years old poured himself a drink, occasionally eating two small dishes, looking leisurely!

Dressed in a samurai suit, with a sky-blue belt tied around his waist, a scribe's scarf tied the scattered long hair tightly, only the length of the new hair that had just grown was too short to tie in, and he drooped casually at his brows and ears!

This person is the Ling Xiao who went out to practice alone, and now he came to the capital of the Liang Kingdom, but it was because of a bizarre bow loss incident in the Ling Jiabao convoy!

Since Ling Xiao was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, Lingjiabao has also risen to the top, and even the strong bows and arrows business demanded by the border army have also been attributed to Lingjiabao! It's just that although Lingjiabao's craftsmanship in making bows and arrows is strong, the force to escort the finished convoy is a little insufficient!

A month ago, Ling Xiao learned that his convoy had a problem during a delivery, so he tracked down the capital of the Liang Kingdom!

However, speaking of this lost bow incident, it also seems a little weird, the whole team, including the captain of the guard, didn't know how the bow was lost, and what was even more strange was that only one bow was lost among the thousands of strong bows escorted, and the bow lost was not strong, and the material was not good, to say that the special thing was that the bow was inlaid with a few rare pearls!

In fact, this bow was specially made for the twelve-year-old son of the commander of the border army, who had just held a crown ceremony, in order to get closer to the commander-in-chief! Therefore, although the loss was not large, and it did not affect the business, it did affect the good relationship between Lingjiabao and the commander!

The reason why Ling Xiao tracked down the capital of the Liang Kingdom was because someone in his branch found that the pearl on the lost bow had been taken away!

While eating wine and food, Ling Xiao looked at the big mansion opposite, but his heart was full of doubts! Mingzhu himself has redeemed it, and when the ticket clearly states, the person who lost Mingzhu is Doctor Zhao who lives in the house opposite this Deyue Tower!

Originally, Ling Xiao thought that it was done by a person like Jiangyang Thief, and he also planned to give the other party an "unforgettable" lesson, but now he found that the person who did this was actually a highly respected doctor, but he immediately became interested!

casually called the shopkeeper, Ling Xiao put two taels of silver on the table, "Xiao Er, just now eating wine and food, I suddenly found that the construction of this house opposite is wonderful, it can be called a must, I don't know whose house is, you said it well, this silver will be given to you!"

Xiao Er's face was immediately red, and he was full of two taels of silver, which was comparable to his salary for half a year, "Guest officer, look at this matter, the opposite family is very famous in our Liang Kingdom! The master's name is Zhao Deyan, with excellent medical skills, countless living people, and what is even more rare is that he is righteous, bold and generous, not to mention our old neighbors, even if a down-and-out person who has never known each other asks for a house, he can also get ten taels of money!"

Hearing Xiao Er's words, Ling Xiao became even more strange, there may be some misunderstanding in the middle, such a bold family, will they be able to look at this pearl that is only worth a thousand taels of silver?

Ling Xiao was stunned, the little second saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, but he quickly took the two taels of silver, and said, "Guest officer, I'll add you some tea", while walking quickly to the back kitchen, for fear that Ling Xiao would take back the two taels of silver!

Whatever he does, what is the specific situation, if you visit it in person, you will know the way, presumably there will be no masters in this Liang country who are full of snow dancing and wind and shadow and moon!

Thinking about it, Ling Xiao ate the meal again with peace of mind, and even took a nap after the meal, waiting for the night to fall!

The breeze was blowing lightly on his cheeks, and under the cover of the night, Ling Xiao easily sneaked into the courtyard of Doctor Zhao's house, and when he saw it during the day, he had already remembered the route clearly, and the gazebo in front of him was the courtyard where the back house was located!

But what shocked Ling Xiao was that when he turned around the pavilion with a light movement, what he saw in front of him was still a pond and water pavilion, not some back house with a moon gate!

Ling Xiao, who was suspicious in his heart, thought to himself, he would not be mistaken, although there are many buildings in this mansion, but he stared at it carefully for a while during the day, is it hell!

In a hurry, his feet accelerated, and he bypassed the pond and water pavilion, Ling Xiao finally found the conspicuous moon gate, just through this portal, what kind of back house did he see in front of him, and it turned out to be a pavilion again!

No, Ling Xiao, who had read more than 10,000 books in the Ming Jing Hall of the Li Empire, remembered a possibility, maze!

Could it be that he unknowingly fell into the formation? It seems that this ordinary doctor's house really has something unusual about him!

The so-called formation, based on the changes of yin and yang, the five elements of Shengke, with all things in the world and the spiritual power of jade as the framework, follows a certain structure, and attracts spiritual power to flow in it, thus producing all kinds of strange effects!

As far as Ling Xiao knows, the most common ones are those lines that have a reinforcing effect on the walls of each city, and often the city walls are still intact after being built for a hundred or ten years, relying on the power of the formation!

However, it is not arbitrary to arrange the formation, and the formation required for the formation is often some rare jade, spirit crystals and the like, which are often rare to see, and an ordinary doctor's house in this small Liang country will also have a formation, which makes Ling Xiao a little suspicious!

At the beginning, Ling Xiao didn't believe in evil, until he turned his body into an afterimage and ran wildly in this mansion for half an hour before he had to admit that he really had to be trapped by this formation!

However, the formation is similar to the illusion, what is confused is only the people's mind, ears and eyes, Ling Xiao, who has a certain experience in fighting illusion, will not be stumped by this formation, and now he has entered the spiritual world between meditation, closing the five senses, taking the intention first, and what he senses is no longer the same pavilion water pavilion, but the Zhao family's back house that is consistent with the direction recorded during the day!

Finally, with his powerful spiritual power, Ling Xiao broke into the back house of the Zhao family, but in his heart, he was even more curious about this mysterious Doctor Zhao, what kind of person is this? He is proficient in medical skills, has a formation built in his home, and has a bold reputation, but he secretly steals the pearl! What a person full of contradictions!

The figure moved lightly, fluttering and flowing, and gently landed on the roof of Dr. Zhao's bedroom, Ling Xiao was cautious, and did not break into the door directly, but had to be the gentleman on the beam again!

The ground was silent, and under the slight operation of spiritual power, he had already absorbed a few tiles, sneaked down from the broken place, entered the house, and quietly crouched on the beams of the house and began to observe this not too small bedroom!

There are a lot of furniture, in addition to being slightly old, you can vaguely see the glory of the past! Its style and decoration are all the fine products of that era more than 100 years ago, but they are not so compatible in this era!

Although the furniture is old, it is spotlessly clean, like the oil lamp of beans, Dr. Zhao is sitting in front of the desk and keeps writing something, but it seems that he is always not satisfied with what he wrote, and sometimes changes to a new piece of paper and writes again!

Not far from the desk, a middle-aged woman who was not too young but still looked very graceful was quietly sewing and mending her clothes! Regardless of whether this Doctor Zhao was listening or not, she just kept talking about her daily life!

"Lao Zhao, you can't just give people money in the future, our family is not rich! The silver you earned this month has been spent, what can you do in the second half of the month? And Hong'er is about to start studying medicine, and your brothers and sisters don't say that they will reduce our family's tuition fees for the sake of your face!"

The woman chattered, and finally Doctor Zhao began to get impatient, "The woman's opinion, the woman's opinion, my dignified Doctor Zhao, a professor at the Royal Academy of Medicine, what kind of identity, how can I do that kind of thing, this matter will not be mentioned again!"

Then he seemed to feel that what he said was a little too hurtful, but he smiled gently, "Xiuli, follow me, you have suffered, don't worry, I will earn the silver!"

The woman seemed to be moved by Dr. Zhao's gentle smile, stopped the needle and thread in her hand, and looked at it stupidly for a while before continuing to sew and mend it!

What's even more surprising is that the stitches are fine, and the spacing between each needle eye is the same, and there is no difference!

Master!
