Chapter 29: The Hand in the Barrel

Every year from September to January of the following year, it is the season when Yishui City and Baicao City manually deliver information, and over the years, a set of handover procedures has already been formed: first to the code, and then to the token, after verifying the identity, the intelligence will not be delivered on the spot, but in the way of trading, the information is hidden in the transaction goods, the people and goods are separated, the information is transmitted, and the whole process is like a very ordinary transaction.

If it was another disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, he would definitely roar forward and talk to the shopkeeper. However, Luo Xiao has been working as a secret child for many years, and it has almost become his nature to be cautious and calm - without these two points, he would have already become one of the eliminated victims in the training camp of the Moon-Seeking Secret Child.

Luo Xiao's gaze calmly swept over the shopkeeper's face, and then he put his hands behind his back, slowly looked at all kinds of fur and leather, asked the guy about the price and condition from time to time, and occasionally killed the price, all acting like a normal customer.

The crackling sound of the abacus sounded again, and the shopkeeper pulled the abacus while quietly observing the guest who was obviously a young man, although he couldn't see his face clearly.

About a moment later, after repeated observation and no abnormality, Luo Xiao relaxed slightly, put his hand into his sleeve, and prepared to take out the token and check the code with the shopkeeper.

However, when Luo Xiao approached the shopkeeper's ten steps away, he didn't notice that the dragon scale flying shield in the package on his back seemed to be stimulated by something, and the entire shield lit up with cyan light, and soon dimmed again.

The shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, his eyes were suspicious, and at the same time, as if he had been provoked by something, he burst out with a strong aura. This aura is so powerful that it is not under the Xuanwu Tan Liu.

This breath was just released, and it was immediately forced down by the shopkeeper, and the whole process was less than a breath, and ordinary people may not feel it and disappear.

Luo Xiao looked calm, as if he didn't realize it, his footsteps didn't stop, and he walked to the shopkeeper without hesitation, saying that he wanted to buy a leather armor, hoping that it was customized.

A gleam flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he stared at Luo Xiao firmly, seeing that the young man's eyes were calm, and he had no intention of avoiding it. Although he was still suspicious, he still called the tailor of the store, measured Luo Xiao's size, selected the leather, and then paid a deposit of 20% in advance, and the transaction was completed.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, I'll pick up the goods in three days and say goodbye. Luo Xiao took the slip and folded it in his arms.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "How can there be a reason to let the guests run errands? Please leave the name and address of the guest, and the man will deliver the goods to the door at that time, and the guest will never miss the itinerary." ”

Luo Xiao also smiled: "Thank you so much, my surname is Luo, I live in the Fortune Inn, and I just give it to the inn guy after the things are done." ”

"It's so good, the guests go slowly. The shopkeeper glanced at the guy, "Little Liu, send the guests." ”

"Okay. The guy named Xiaoliu opened the door curtain for Luo Xiao with a huff on his waist, smiling with a smile on his face, and kept watching Luo Xiao go out and go away.

Luo Xiao walked out of the fur shop and calmly turned around the corner, until he sensed that his gaze behind him was cut off, and he sighed with relief - the danger at that moment just now was definitely no less than the battle of life and death with Tan Liu.

The aura emanating from the shopkeeper's body is very strong, it is definitely a samurai level, although the task description does not indicate what level the connector is, but when did the samurai become so worthless?

And more importantly, the strong aura exuded by the shopkeeper was no less than that of a samurai, but it was different from a samurai, with a thick bloody aura. If it was an ordinary disciple of the Martial Arts Hall, he might not be able to sense this difference, let alone understand what it meant. However, Luo Xiao, who had undergone the brutal training of the Mizi training camp, was very familiar with this kind of aura - it was the breath of the Tule warriors!

In the entire Tianjing Domain, the advancement of warriors is divided into two major systems: one is the warrior system of the Eastern Soil Kingdoms, and the other is the warrior system of the Northwest Tule people.

Warriors cultivate Yuan Ling, and warriors cultivate Qi and blood, and the two advance directions are completely different.

When Luo Xiao was in the Mizi training camp, he was a sixth-level Tule warrior in the teaching, and they called this level a "crocodile warrior", which corresponded to the sixth-order Xuanwu warrior in the samurai system.

During the dark years of the Mizi training camp, the crocodile warrior's training became a nightmare for almost all of their trainees, and Luo Xiao was extremely impressed by it. Therefore, although the shopkeeper's warrior aura was put away as soon as it was released, it was difficult for ordinary people to notice it, but for Luo Xiao, it was more obvious than the smell in the air of Baicao City.

It's just that it's clear that the other party's aura is very well constricted, and it only gives people the feeling of about the fourth order, why is he suddenly exposed?

Luo Xiao shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, but one thing was clear: "If the location given by the mission is correct, it can only mean one thing - the intelligence stronghold of Yishui City has been wiped out by the Turles! ”

Luo Xiao's mind turned, and he quickly made a decision to return immediately tomorrow. He was only here to get information, but the current situation was far beyond his control, and it was beyond the reach of a small martial artist. Although he didn't get the information required by the mission, as long as he sent this important information back to Yishui City, I believe that the merit points would never be less than the task of obtaining intelligence.

"I hope that the leather armor I ordered can paralyze the other party, not to mention three days, at least buy me a night's time. Luo Xiao thought so and walked quickly towards the inn.

In the Zhou Ji leather shop, the shopkeeper's face was cloudy, although the performance of the young guest just now could not see any problems, but he always felt that something was wrong, if it was not for fear, according to his original thoughts, there was a mistake and would not let go.

Yes, he has scruples!

Before carrying out the mission, this group of warriors all practiced a mental method called "Breathing Technique", which was able to hide the powerful aura of the warriors, so that the surface aura fluctuated between the third and fourth order martial artists, so that they could not attract attention and be suspicious.

However, just now, when the young man approached him ten steps away, the suppressed qi in his body was inexplicably stimulated, and it burst out uncontrollably, which was an abnormal situation that had never been seen before. He was so frightened that he couldn't figure out whether this young guest's means were the means, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

The guy Xiaoliu turned back to the store, walked to the counter, and reported in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, that kid walked unhurriedly, didn't look impatient, and didn't look suspicious......"

The shopkeeper squinted, twisted his goatee, thought for a while, and slowly shook his head: "Otherwise, my qi will not be triggered for no reason, it must be related to this person, whether he is the one who came to get information or not, you can't let it go." ”

Xiao Liu hesitated: "That...... Do you want to follow up and take a look? ”

The shopkeeper said lightly: "I have already sent a message and let Xiaoba follow me." ”

As soon as Luo Xiao got out of the leather shop, he found that someone was following him, sneered in his heart, walked around, walked around the streets and alleys, and the shops went in and out, making the stalkers dizzy. Taking advantage of his exhaustion and relaxation, Luo Xiao followed the route distribution map formed in his mind after these laps, continuously passing through the house and alley, drilling the hall and crossing the wall, and left the stalker without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Whew! When Luo Xiao rushed out of the back door of a shop, an ox cart happened to be driving in the alley. Both sides were fast, couldn't avoid it, and bumped into each other with a bang.

Luo Xiao's body rebounded and hit the wall, shaking the dust and dirt down, and the driver of the ox cart instinctively pulled the bull's head, and the wheel twisted and knocked against the wall on the other side.

With a loud bang, several huge barrels loaded on the ox cart bumped violently against each other, and the outermost one collapsed with a bang, and the lid of the barrel flew out, rolling out along the potholed dirt road of the alley.

The driver struggled to pull the frightened bull, and was furious: "Bastard! You are looking for death!" As he spoke, he raised the whip in his hand and was about to whip Luo Xiao's head, but before he made his hand, he seemed to think of something, a trace of unwilling hatred flashed in his eyes, and he stopped the whip and shouted at Luo Xiao: "Take advantage of the uncle's lack of anger, get out of here!"

In this accident, to be honest, Luo Xiao was fully responsible, so although the other party was rude, Luo Xiao didn't take it to heart, but apologized: "It's reckless, I'......m really sorry for it."

Luo Xiao's voice stopped abruptly, and he stared at the crooked wine barrel on the ox cart in horror, not a drop of wine flowed out of the wine barrel, only half of the thin white arm, which was weakly resting on the edge of the wine barrel......
