The capital of the Xue Kingdom, Baicheng.

Han Yuli, Ou Yangmingli, and Bai Jianli have been cultivating in the inn room since they entered the city, and they have not left the inn for three days.

Bai Jianli was still very irritable and quiet at first, but after seeing that Han Yuli had been quietly staying in the inn to cultivate, he could only force himself to calm down and immerse himself in cultivation.

Ou Yangmingli sat on the chaise longue by the window in the room and squinted through the window at the white white city in the sunset, his signature smile did not hang on his face as usual, his expression looked a little dignified.

It had been three days and he hadn't heard from Murong Ye, and Ou Yangmingli was still a little worried.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Three successive knocks on the door broke the silence of the room, and Ou Yangmingli retracted his divergent thoughts and looked in the direction of the door.

"Guest officer, I'm the second junior of the inn, come and bring you a pot of hot water. Are you in the room?"

Ou Yangmingli heard that the person's voice was indeed consistent with the inn's junior second, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned back to his usual smile, and he said lightly: "Come in!"

A young man dressed as a shopkeeper pushed open the door, walked in with a pot of steaming hot water, and closed the door with his hand.

The shopkeeper did not leave after gently placing the kettle on the table, and said as he walked towards Ou Yangmingli: "Guest officer, will dinner be sent directly to your room?"

Ou Yangmingli glanced at the approaching shopkeeper and didn't get up, still lying lazily on the recliner, and said, "Well, it's good to send it over directly when it's ready." ”

The shopkeeper walked up to Ou Yangmingli and bowed silently. He bent down closer to Ou Yangmingli and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Young master, the team entering the city today does not have a team of thirty to fifty people, nor is there a soldier in disguise. ”

This inn is an intelligence network of the Ouyang family where Ouyang Mingli is located, and the people in the inn are all intelligence spies arranged by the Ouyang family, and they are specially collecting information from all parties in Baicheng for the Ouyang family.

Ou Yangmingli made the decision to stay in this inn, just to use the power of the family spies to keep an eye on all the gates of the White City, looking for Murong Ye and the others who had entered the city.

Of course, out of prudence, Ou Yangming did not directly mention Murong Ye's identity to the spies, and he did not even give the current characteristics of Murong Ye and his party. He simply told the spies to keep an eye out for thirty to fifty people in the procession entering the city, and whether there were any soldiers in civilian clothes.

That's right, Ou Yangmingli saw Murong Ye and his party outside the blacksmith shop in Yongning Town at the first glance, and instantly recognized the identity of Murong Ye and the others.

Ouyang Mingli was extraordinarily talented, and his comprehension of the way of the sword was the best in the Dongzhou Continent, almost second only to Si Yijian. In his opinion, everyone in the world is a unique sword. For him, the difference in breath and body shape was meaningless.

This was the fundamental reason why Ou Yangmingli was able to see through Murong Ye's disguise at a glance.

Of course, there would be no more than ten people who could reach Ou Yangmingli's level in the entire Dongzhou Continent.

Ou Yangmingli saw through Murong Ye's disguise, and seeing that Murong Ye had no intention of recognizing each other, he guessed that Murong Ye wanted to continue to Xue Guo. So, he decisively took Han Yuli and Bai Jianli to Baicheng, the capital of Xue State.

Ou Yangmingli's purpose in this move was threefold: first, to attract the attention of Murong Ye's enemies on the bright side and mislead the enemy to a certain extent, second, to hope that Murong Ye could provide necessary help when he needed it, and third, to see if he could take the opportunity to get rid of Murong Ye's enemies who might appear in Baicheng.

Ou Yangmingli bowed slightly, and asked, "The two foreign forces that are secretly staring at the people who enter the city through the various city gates are almost touched, right?"

While Ou Yangmingli asked the spies to pay attention to the traces of Murong Ye and his party, he also asked the spies to investigate the situation of all parties through the spies of other forces who also paid attention to the city gates.

"Before you arrived in the White City, spies had been arranged to keep an eye on the two foreign forces at the city gates, and their strongholds and numbers had basically been figured out. But ......"

Shopkeeper paused when he said this, looked at Ou Yangmingli's expression, and then said, "This morning, spies from the third force suddenly appeared at the major city gates. Unlike the first two foreign forces, they did not pay attention to those who entered the city, but those who left the city. ”

Ou Yangmingli frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Have you found out the bottom carefully?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The specific details have not yet been clarified." However, based on the details of their skills and actions, it is speculated that they should be secret agents raised by the royal family of the Xue Kingdom. ”

"Royal Secret Agent?" Ou Yangmingli frowned even tighter, and asked, "In the past few days, what major events have happened in the Xue Kingdom's royal family?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and replied, "Back to the young master, nothing important has happened in the royal family these days. It is worth mentioning that His Majesty the King and Prince Xue Dingshan will go to Prince Xue Dingwei's palace for a banquet tonight. This is the first time in several years that His Majesty has left the Palace. ”

Ou Yangmingli waved his hand and motioned for the shopkeeper to step down. He looked through the window in the direction of the palace in the center of the city, his brow furrowed.

In addition to the intelligence spies of the Ouyang family, Baicheng also has several martial artist teams planted by the Ouyang family, as well as some forces supported by Si Jianfeng.

Ouyang Mingli was originally planning to use these forces to get rid of Murong Ye's enemies in advance in the past few days, but he didn't want to make a sudden move in the Xue Kingdom royal family at this juncture.

Before figuring out whether the sudden actions of the royal family were related to Murong Ye, Ou Yangmingli was a little unsure whether to get rid of Murong Ye's enemies according to the previous plan.

After thinking about the disadvantages of this matter, Ou Yangmingli decided to stay put, or to figure out the purpose of the royal family first.

Ou Yangmingli didn't expect that the reason for the royal family's change would surface the next day.

Early the next morning, the shopkeeper brought Ou Yangmingli a hot news.

"Young master, the king of Xue Guo has died, the new king has ascended the throne, and Baicheng has entered a state of high alert, and he is only allowed to enter but not to leave. ”

Ou Yangmingli, who had just gotten up, shrank his pupils, and he was very surprised. He never expected that yesterday he noticed that the royal family had arranged secret agents at the major city gates, and today Xue Guo has changed kings.

"What's going on?"

"After the king of Xue went to Xue Dingwei's palace for a banquet last night, he was assassinated by Xue Dingwei and died on the spot. Xue Dingshan immediately captured Xue Dingwei alive and put him on death row. Xue Dingshan later took over the defense of the Baicheng garrison and the palace guards with lightning speed, and ascended the throne overnight to become the new king of Xue State. ”

Ou Yangmingli sneered and said, "Such a coincidence, so quickly, it seems that this new king has been premeditated!"

Shopkeeper nodded and agreed: "That's true, the new king took over the defenders of Baicheng and the palace guards very quickly, and the dragon robe used to ascend the throne was also made in advance. Moreover, the new king also sent troops to search all over the city, as if he was looking for someone. ”

Ou Yangmingli thought for a moment and said, "Let our people stand still, and don't make the new king misunderstand." The attack plan that was set before will also wait for the situation in Xue State to stabilize. However, the spies at the city gate must not be relaxed, and the target must notify me as soon as he enters the city. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Ou Yangmingli walked slowly to the table, took a sip of the hot tea brought by the shopkeeper, and then said, "Then transfer some people from other places to arrange them outside the city in case of emergency." ”

"Yes. ”

The shopkeeper carefully wrote down Ou Yangmingli's order, and seeing that he had no further instructions, he bowed down and exited Ou Yangmingli's room.

Ou Yangmingli got up and came to the window, pushed open the window and looked out of the window, frowning.

Han Yuli and Bai Jianli were very anxious after receiving the news that the new king of Xue Guo had ascended the throne, but seeing that Ou Yangmingli was still calm, they had to calm down and continue to immerse themselves in cultivation.

The Xu family, the Chen family and others, who were looking forward to Murong Ye's appearance, soon knew about it, and they didn't care too much, but they were afraid that Murong Ye would not dare to enter the city because of this, so they also transferred people to arrange them outside the city.

The manpower of the Murong family was naturally urgently mobilized to be arranged outside the city.

For a while, the situation inside and outside the city became tense.

The forces of all parties who were waiting for Murong Ye to appear were all staring at the team entering the city, completely ignoring the fact that a caravan of more than 100 people left Baicheng in a low-key manner yesterday evening and headed southwest.

The people of these forces, including Ou Yangmingli, could not have imagined that the departure of this caravan had an extremely important relationship with them.

......

The caravan disguised by Murong Ye and his party walked slowly towards Baicheng in the northeast.

"Ding, traces of sapphire detected. ”

Murong Ye's mind suddenly sounded the system prompt of the auxiliary system, and a rectangular map projection appeared in front of Murong Ye's eyes.

Murong Ye looked at the map projection and found that the center was a green dot indicating his location, and a red dot appeared in the upper right corner and was heading south.

The red dot is obviously where the sapphire is.

Murong Ye thought about it for a moment, then raised his right hand, and the entire convoy stopped instantly.

"Follow me. ”

Murong Ye spoke, and then immediately turned around and headed due east.

The azure sapphire suddenly appeared, whether it was the one in the capital of Xue Kingdom or not, Murong Ye had no reason to turn a blind eye. So he immediately changed his direction, prepared to wait in the direction of the red dot, and had a fateful encounter with the man with the sapphire.

Wang Teng made a few gestures, and a few White Tiger Guards left the team to inform the scouts around them to turn, and the others pulled the carriage to follow Murong Ye.

According to the route traveled by the red dot, the auxiliary system instantly calculated the closest place where Murong Ye and his party met the red dot and the time it took to reach it.

Murong Ye followed the prompts of the auxiliary system and led the convoy to the predicted position half an hour in advance. He looked at the map projection that only he could see, and saw that the red dot would take some time to reach.

At this time, it was getting late, and Murong Ye immediately asked everyone to set up camp here, and he was ready to wait for the rabbit here.

While everyone was busy setting up their tents and preparing dinner, Murong Ye thought carefully about how to get the sapphire and the arrangements after getting it.

Murong Ye looked at the south where the Eastern Empire was located, and his eyes became more and more fierce!
