Chapter 200: The Secret of the Bookshelves
Indeed, the common people don't know what the general trend of the world is, and they don't know what the generals and princes are, but they know one thing, their things can't be snatched away by people for nothing, even if they meet a robber, they have to think about whether there is a chance to resist, let alone bully them.
Such a simple example made Zhao Xuewen feel very open-minded, indeed if he did this, some people who were in their early stages would suffer a little loss and be unlucky at the beginning, but as long as there were enough people mobilized, the unlucky ones would be those officials who drank the blood of the people.
Zhao Xuewen, who had figured it out, began to face up to Ling Xiao's intentions, in fact, Ling Xiao sought the help of the Sword of Freedom, and he was not helping the Sword of Freedom, which was originally a matter of mutual benefit. And when Zhao Xuewen learned that Ling Xiao could also use so much power within the Dreadnought Empire, he was even more convinced.
Finally having a common language, the two began to carefully discuss the details of cooperation, and this vigorous operation has been aimed in two directions, one is to disrupt the country and develop in a direction conducive to the coalition forces, and the other is to save the country and stimulate the deep desire of the people of the fearless empire to resist.
The two goals are not contradictory, if they can really inspire the people's hearts to resist, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the fearless empire not to mess up, of course, there are still many specific action details to discuss, but the sky is getting brighter, in order to hide people's eyes, the two can only be hurriedly separated.
And for Ling Xiao, after successively dealing with the official and underground forces, there is still a private thing to do, that is, to meet the sword alliance Hu Liu. Originally, after Ling Xiao learned to attack the four consecutive attacks of the Charm and the Dragon, he could be regarded as subduing Hu Liu's house, relying on a trace of consciousness space power, as long as Hu Liu was within a certain range of his side, he would feel it.
But at night, Hu Liu was so close to him, but there was no reaction at all in the consciousness space, indicating that either Hu Liu's cultivation had broken through to a new and higher realm, or someone had helped Hu Liu clear the troubles.
If someone helps, it's okay to say a little, but if Hu Liu breaks through to a higher realm with his own efforts. It is also a threat to Ling Xiao, you must know that although the weird four consecutive attacks are mainly forbidden attacks, they are mixed with some power of consciousness space, and if they are countered by Hu Liu without knowing it, they will suffer.
The heart of the Sword Alliance, which can be said to be well known to passers-by, is an emerging force with his strengths, and has entangled many mercenaries and gangsters who have unsatisfactory lives, and his power is extremely great. But he also has his shortcomings, the establishment time is not long, and the initial methods are too bloody, so that many people with lofty ideals stay away.
On the one hand, he was hostile to the spear god, not only participated in the sniper battle of the border city, but also contributed a lot in the seven-channel defense battle; The Sword Alliance, whose base camp was located within the Chen State, had become an isolated island along with the Chen State, and the contact with the coalition forces was no longer as convenient as before, so it was extremely possible to have the heart to lean towards the Dreadnought Empire.
Then Tong Guò Hu Liu came to explore the true intentions of the Dao Alliance. That is to say, if you don't know the true intentions of the Sword Alliance, if any information leaks out, it won't be the lives of one or two people.
When I was discussing the details of the action with Zhao Xuewen just now. pretended to chat casually, but also asked Hu Liu's whereabouts, which was extremely easy to find. The largest green building in Linhai City is the industry of the Dao League, and Hu Liu is also located here.
Like all the green buildings in the world, the falling flowers at this time are the lightest time of the day, the old customers who have spent the night have not yet gotten up, the boy who is looking for joy is still at home, and has not gone out, most of the girls and the old bustard, the turtle father, and the big teapot are still in a sweet dream, which is also convenient for Ling Xiao to sneak in.
However, infiltrating is infiltrating, Ling Xiao also took some effort, as the main hall of the Sword Alliance in the Dreadnought Empire, this falling flower is unintentionally full of prohibitions, and Ling Xiao knows a lot about forbidden laws, if you change people, you may not be able to succeed if you want to come in silently.
With the help of the subtle realm, Ling Xiao avoided one after another places overflowing with spiritual power, and came to the Tianzi No. 2 room mentioned by Zhao Xuewen, listened attentively for a while, there was no movement in the room, so he no longer worried, took out a wind feather arrow and pried open the window, and jumped in.
The furnishings in the room are clear at a glance, tables, beds and chairs, screens, low tables, bookshelves, there is no place to hide at all, but Hu Liu is not in the room.
Having lost Hu Liu's consciousness imprint, it was indeed a difficult thing for Ling Xiao to find Hu Liu's location, but fortunately, with the help of subtle help, Ling Xiao set his eyes on the bookshelf placed against the wall.
In the Qinglou, there are very few bookshelves, you must know that there must be gambling in the Qinglou, the most taboo thing for a gambler is the word "lose", how can there be such a huge bookshelf in the girl's room, and Ling Xiao in the subtle realm also found a lot of abnormalities on the bookshelf.
Usually the bookshelf is a place with a lot of dead corners, and no matter how diligent a person is, he will not wipe them all clean, but the bookshelf in front of him is not dusty, and even the book corners are neatly placed, and there is no trace of disorder.
Obviously, it is a precautionary measure to prevent others from finding traces from some small places, but Ling Xiao's subtle realm from ice sculpture is different, and what others can't see, Ling Xiao can see.
Among the neat books on the wooden shelves, there is a book that can be very clearly observed in the subtle realm how different it is, other books are obviously not used much, there is nothing abnormal between the books and the bookshelf, but this book is definitely the most used of all the books, there are few invisible traces of friction between the book and the bookshelves, and it can only be seen after magnifying in the subtle realm.
Needless to say, there was a secret room in the room, and the mechanism was in that unusual book. The design is really ingenious, but it can't escape the eyes of Uncle Ben, thinking in his heart, Ling Xiao took out the book in his hand, and the red mansion is gorgeous, which is quite in line with the location of this green building.
It's just that Ling Xiao's actions in his heart are inevitably a little careless, this book is indeed a mechanism to control the secret room, but there are many ways to open the mechanism, fundamentally speaking, it should be the simplest and least impossible one to extract directly, therefore, the secret room was not opened, but all kinds of attacks covered Ling Xiao's location in an instant.
Poisonous smoke and poisonous gas instantly filled the entire room, and it was nothing to have a spiritual power shield, at least for a while, Ling Xiao couldn't help it, but it was different when the room was full of poisonous needles flying around, the steel needles under the action of the machine spring were extremely small, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, full of momentum, one or two were nothing, but hundreds, thousands!
Under the simultaneous effect of the impact of the poisonous needle and the corrosion of the poisonous gas, Ling Xiao's spiritual power shield was broken after only supporting the five-breath time, but fortunately, Ling Xiao acted quickly, and the five-breath time was enough for him to run outside the house, of course, there were inevitably some wolves. The most important thing is that the plan to sneak in quietly failed, alarming a large number of guards and masters of the Sword Alliance.
If Ling Xiao hadn't crossed the entire courtyard quickly and avoided the building opposite, I am afraid that he would have been surrounded by the Sword Alliance on the spot.
Ling Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, could see clearly, although he was a little startled, but it was not to lead the snake out of the hole, and the crackling Tianzi No. 2 room not only caused many prostitutes to run outside the house in a panic, but also led to the goal of Hu Liu, but the place where Hu Liu came out turned out to be an inconspicuous firewood room!
It was obviously another exit from the secret room, and the other young man standing quietly next to Hu Liu made Ling Xiao's eyes shrink sharply, although he looked weak, but he could sense it from both his demeanor and his momentum, this was a master, and the most important thing was that Ling Xiao couldn't detect the depth of this person's cultivation.
In this case, either this person is not a cultivator at all, or this person's realm has already surpassed Ling Xiao a lot, everything must be seen from the worst, Ling Xiao has positioned this person above the super master in his heart, that is to say, the lowest is also a Saint Realm master.
Saint Realm masters, Ling Xiao has also seen a lot, Drunken Dao people, Southern Red Beans, Sword Sect Sect Master, Danzong Danshen are all Holy Realm masters, the people in front of him are similar to Drunken Dao people in terms of temperament, Southern Red Beans, presumably they should be masters of the same level.
Moreover, Hu Liu stood on the side of this person, with an extremely respectful look, it goes without saying that this person has a high status in the Sword Alliance, and it is very likely that he is the person in charge of the Sword Alliance in the Fearless Empire, so it means that the order to incite Zhao Xuewen to kill himself is also from this person's mouth.
Ling Xiao has always adhered to a principle of acting, that is, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, since you want to kill yourself, you must have the determination to break your mouth full of big teeth.
Seeing that at this time, Luohua had no intention of all kinds of people in the building, and there was no chance to act, Ling Xiao had no choice but to retreat silently, but it was not without gain, at least he knew that the Sword Alliance had such a special young man in the Dreadnought Empire.
After Ling Xiao left, he didn't notice that the young man had glanced in the direction he had withdrawn intentionally or unintentionally, but there was obviously a bit of murder in his eyes.
If there is a recognized heir in the Sword Alliance, it can only be this young man Lu Tian, who is known as the King of the Sword, no one knows his origin, he grew up in the Sword Alliance, and what he has cultivated is just the crazy knife technique that everyone in the Sword Alliance has practiced, but no one can refine the effect of the Crazy Sword Technique to Lu Tian's hands, but it glows with its brilliance as the treasure of the Sword Alliance.
Some people may say that there must be something wonderful about this crazy knife technique, or maybe the master of the sword alliance favors Lu Tian and secretly passes on some secrets to him, so that the chicken-like crazy knife technique has become a dazzling secret!
But no matter what the truth is, no one can deny Lu Tian's qualifications, and this trip to the Dreadnought Empire is also his first battle in the fledgling, so he naturally wants to shake the world and make a splash. After sensing Ling Xiao's exit, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he only gestured slightly, and there was already movement in the shadows around him, so naturally he was a master of his subordinates who understood Lu Tian's intentions and followed Ling Xiao.
