Chapter 18: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"The third place on the list of Fengguo Void Realm, the masterpiece Shan Tianguang. This person is as light as a swallow, and he is extremely good at light skills, and he is most proficient in the way of assassination. Because of this, few people know what he looks like. In addition, he is wandering around and has no fixed place to live, so it is difficult to find his exact whereabouts. ”
At this moment, on the third floor of Chunxiang Pavilion, Miss Yanyin was lying quietly on Lu Hou's chest and said softly.
Hearing this, Lu Hou frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this result.
At this time, I heard Miss Yanyin add: "But I still managed to find someone to find out what this person looked like, and drew a portrait." As for his approximate whereabouts, it should be in Furong County in Fengguo now. ”
This time, Lu Hou's frowning brows stretched a little.
Then he pushed the woman away, and Huo Ran got up.
Miss Yan Yin also stood up, dressed Lu Hou, and picked up a picture scroll on the wooden table and handed it to Lu Hou.
After taking the scroll, Lu Hou opened it with a bang.
I saw a thin old man painted on the picture scroll. This old man is over the age of six, with a roe head and rat eyes, and a treacherous smile at the corner of his mouth, which makes him look cunning.
After glancing at it, Lu Hou slowly wrapped the scroll. But he didn't leave immediately, but looked at Miss Yan Yin and said, "What about the top two, who are they?" ”
Miss Yanyin was a little puzzled by this, she didn't know what Lu Hou meant when she asked about these two, and secretly said that it was difficult for Lu Hou to solve these three people together once and for all this time.
Just when she thought of it like this, Lu Hou's expression was a little cold, so she heard her hurriedly say: "The second ranked one, named Zhang Zidong, this person also has an identity, he is the most wanted criminal in Fengguo, and he once killed Zhou Wenqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came to inspect in Luoxue City, so he was arrested by Fengguo. But all these years he has also been at large and has disappeared. ”
"As for the first one, it is even more tricky than Shan Tianguang and Zhang Zidong. This person is nicknamed the Oolong King, but no one knows the weapons or exercises he is good at, or even ...... No one knows what he looks like. ”
"Oh?" Lu Hou was interested, "why is that?" ”
Because this person has been shrouded in a dark cloud several feet in size all the year round, he can only hear his voice, but cannot see his person. This is also the origin of his name as the Oolong King. "Just listen to Miss Yanyin.
As soon as this woman's voice fell, Lu Hou's eyes flashed.
"Shrouded in dark clouds all year round......" only listened to him mumble to himself, and when he spoke, the light in his eyes became even worse.
This kind of method is not what ordinary martial artists should have.
"Where is this person. I only heard Lu Hou ask.
"I don't know yet, but I can have someone look it up right away. ”
"Hmm. Lu Hou nodded, "Move quickly, I have to find out the news of this person before I come back." ”
With that, he walked along, pushed open the attic door, and stepped out.
At this moment, in the left and right rooms on the third floor, Beihe and Modu stood up at the same time, followed behind Lu Hou, and the three of them left Chunxiang Pavilion together and walked towards the outside of Liangcheng.
But this time, the destination of the three of them was not the cave where the big man who struck iron was, but Furong County in Fengguo.
This made Beihe quite puzzled, and he didn't know why Lu Hou changed his itinerary.
At this moment, Lu Hou threw a wrapped picture scroll in his hand towards him.
Beihe took the object, and after a little hesitation, he opened the scroll. Then he saw that the picture scroll was painted by an old man who looked a little cunning.
Just when Bei He's heart became more and more suspicious, he only heard Lu Hou say: "This person's name is Shan Tianguang, he is the third person on the virtual realm list, and his whereabouts are probably in Furong County, and after arriving in Furong County, you will find a way to find him." ”
"Yes, master. ”
Beihe nodded, and then wrapped the scroll.
It seems that this time Lu Hou did not plan to return to the Lanshan Sect, but was going to make a direct move against Shan Tianguang, who was third on the Void Realm List, and then he would go directly to Furong County.
"Last time I saw you fighting with Modu, it seems that the true qi in your body is still out of control. "Just listen to Lu Houdao.
Hearing this, Beihe was extremely surprised, because his master rarely cared about him. And there is only one possibility that Lu Hou can say this, that is, he is in a good mood today.
It seems that something that can make Lu Hou feel good should be a great joy. As soon as he thought of this, Beihe couldn't help but think that Miss Yanyin was pregnant.
But then he shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts and looked at Lu Hou and said, "From time to time, the disciple can sense the true qi in his body and release it, but he can't control the severity of it. ”
"Keep up the good work. Lu Hou said.
"Yes!" Beihe was flattered.
To be able to get Lu Hou's praise is even more rare than Lu Hou being in a good mood.
Just when his heart was becoming more and more strange, and he didn't know what kind of wind was blowing today, Lu Hou continued to speak, "On the way to cultivation, don't be in a hurry. Although we pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, victory or defeat is definitely not determined by individual strength alone. ”
Although Bei He understood this sentence, it was rare for him to meet Lu Hou when he was in a good mood, so he heard him ask: "I still hope that the master will advise." ”
"Do you think that with my strength, you can walk unscrupulously in the world. Lu Hou said.
Beihe thought about it for a while, and then said, "In my humble opinion, yes." ”
"Ridiculous. Lu Hou pursed his lips, "You are still young, and you don't have enough knowledge." Don't think that with my strength, you are invincible in the world. Do you know that the iron cavalry of the dynasty, the heavy armor not only wraps the cavalry, but even the war horses are tightly covered. One or two may not constitute a threat, but hundreds or thousands of collisions can not resist the Void Realm martial artists. ”
"You have seen a thorn in a cloth garment, a man who can be a splash in the market, an old woman, or even a young child. The weapons of killing are even more varied, not to mention knives, guns and sticks, a piece of embroidery thread, a drop of water can quietly make you die. ”
"There is no invincible person in the world, even the Void Realm Martial Artist is no exception, if you want to live longer, it depends not only on strength, but also on your brain. As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, I can live until now, and my strength only accounts for half of the factor, and the other half is that I am cautious enough. ”
Beihe's heart was extremely shocked, he didn't expect that Lu Hou, who could sweep the Fengguo Void Realm List and whose strength was unfathomable, would actually say such a thing.
Although he hadn't seen the scenes Lu Hou said with his own eyes, when he thought of the galloping of thousands of troops and horses, and those strange assassins, he knew that what Lu Hou said was absolutely true.
So I heard him say respectfully: "Thank you master for your advice." ”
After saying such a thing, Lu Hou also lost interest, and the next three hurried away in a muffled voice and said no more.
......
Half a month later, Beihe was alone, walking on a street in Furong County, which is adjacent to Liangcheng, with his hands behind his back, looking at the streets of Furong County, which were more lively than Liangcheng, with a relaxed expression.
It had been a few days since they had been in Seremban, and in the past few days, he had visited almost every inn and liquor store, and the streets of all sizes, just to track down the traces of that single daylight.
Just looking for him like this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is not an easy task.
In a few moments, Beihe came to the location of the city gate, and here, there were crowds of people gathered all the time, as if they were observing something.
Beihe squeezed through the crowd and came to the front, and then he saw that there were posters on the city wall.
Most of these notices are notices from the Furong County government, such as that from next month, the copper coins paid to enter the city will increase by one penny. Ten days later, the county officials of this city will compete to recruit relatives and so on.
And the most eye-catching of them is a bounty order.
A portrait was drawn on the bounty order, and the person on the portrait was a big man, but the appearance of this big man was very similar to Modu. And below the portrait, there is also a line of text.
"Modu, a martial artist who has just entered the virtual realm, is born with divine power, and his power is infinite, and those who take his head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”
Looking at this bounty order, a smile appeared on Beihe's face. This bounty order was posted by himself, and the purpose was to draw out the light of the city.
He fabricated that Mo was a Void Realm martial artist in order to dispel the thoughts of those Power Realm martial artists. And he deliberately painted Modu's appearance as a big man, also to make people believe that there would not be such a young Void Realm martial artist.
As long as someone tears off this bounty order, he will let Mo Du dress up in disguise and show his face in Furong City. In the case of not being able to find a single daylight, this ploy is already considered a good strategy.
"Driving...... ...... driving"
Just as Beihe thought about it, suddenly a few low roars came, followed by a dense sound of stampeding, trampling, trampling.
The crowd that gathered around the city wall to watch the proclamation was shocked and scattered.
At this moment, from outside the city gate, more than 100 iron horsemen in armor galloped towards the city. Seeing that the rule that you can't ride a horse in the city is not visible, it can be called arrogant and domineering.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, many people were directly knocked to the ground by the horses, and fell to the ground wailing again and again. Some of the stalls on both sides of the street were even more trampled by horses.
At this time, Beihe saw that the group of people led by the iron horsemen was a young man in his twenties who was extremely handsome.
This young man was dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a jade pendant and a treasure knife hanging from his waist, and at first glance he was from an extraordinary background. It's just that this person at this moment has a murderous intent on his face, and his eyes are extremely gloomy.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Beihe noticed that in front of the street, there was a five- or six-year-old girl with red lips and white teeth, holding a candy man in her hand, and now she was standing in the center at a loss, and the next moment she was about to be directly hit by the tall horse under the young man.
Barely hesitating, he stomped his feet and rushed diagonally forward.
Before the galloping horses rushed forward, they took the girl in their arms. But in this case, Beihe's back waist was kicked by the horse's legs.
"Hmm!"
But when he heard him snort, his figure flew out diagonally.
Still in mid-air, his body forcibly twisted, his feet hit the ground, and he staggered back more than ten steps before finally standing firmly.
At this time, the girl in his arms was crying, but fortunately it was fine.
Beihe felt a hot pain coming from his waist, and his body was about to fall apart. But at this time, he didn't care about the pain, but Huo Ran looked up at the young man who was the leader.
At that moment, the young man glanced back at him. I saw this person sneer, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and then the long whip in his hand "snapped" on the horse's back, and the group of iron horsemen whipped their horses and continued to gallop forward.
"The people of the imperial court ......"
"Royal Guard......
Seeing the more than 100 people disappear at the end of the street, there was a discussion in the crowd.
Bei He frowned, and the word "Chuan" appeared, and he also noticed the position of the chest of this group of iron horses, and an eagle was inscribed. It turned out to be a member of the Fengguo royal family, no wonder he was so arrogant.
"My Ying'er, ......"
A woman in her thirties was crying desolate at this time and ran towards Beihe.
"Mother!"
The girl in Beihe's arms also cried out at this time.
Seeing this, Beihe handed the girl to the woman.
"Thank you, little brother. "When the woman had carried the girl, she knelt down towards the North River.
"This sister, I can't help it. ”
Beihe hurriedly helped the woman up.
The woman thanked her repeatedly, but Beihe only said a few polite words and politely declined the woman's invitation, and finally watched the mother and daughter leave.
Bei He also felt a little angry when this sudden scene happened, especially the young man's indifferent gaze before, which made him remember it vividly.
Immediately, he suppressed the anger in his heart and subconsciously looked in the direction of the city wall.
"Huh?"
Immediately afterwards, he found that the reward order he posted on the city wall was missing, and he didn't know when it was torn off.
