Jincheng faction, Lelin City.

The festive atmosphere of the establishment of the sect has not retreated at all, even in this "Kong Er Old Street", there are also a lot of celebratory decorations still hanging everywhere, although it has experienced a lot of wind and rain, but most of them have not faded, at least the flag in front of the door of "Jingwen Pavilion" is still bright.

Qiu Zhen really leaned in front of the door that was about to close, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart, these spirit stones spent for the purchase of flags were indeed worth it, and at the same time, she also observed the passers-by intentionally or unintentionally, pondering their origins, occupation, family background, marriage or not, the mood at the moment, through the purpose of this place, where to spend the night tonight, this is one of the secret agent training skills she has recently learned, only the secret agent who is good at observation and good at thinking can collect more useful information.

It's a pity that she hasn't found anything lately, after all, she only does this kind of exercise for half an hour a day.

Today is the day of the usual order, this is the agreement between her and Zheng Yiyu, every once in a while, she will appear near a business name agreed by both parties, indicating that she is still here, and mutual proof is safe, this business name has nothing to do with the Asa Shan Sect, so I am worried that someone with a heart will follow the vine and find her own line.

Qiu Zhenzhen turned around the shop, explained a few words, and went out of the not wide alley alone, passing through the "Xiangtanju", and looked at it by the way, and heard that Zhou Daxiang reported that the owner of this shop, that is, she has confirmed that it is the person who is "Wanqing", has not appeared for three days, and I don't know where to go, but this is none of her business, Zheng Yiyu has asked someone to tell her, and the information she collected has been believed to be true, and the corresponding Mengong has been recorded.

It's just that I don't know what to change, and I don't know what to do with the buckle door, what has been put in the big warehouse recently, I am alone, and when I return to the Asshan Sect, maybe the good things have been picked up, and I don't know if my son Sitian, whether he is thinking about himself, his heartless father-in-law, that is, the stinky master, I heard that he has not returned to Luochuan for a long time, is it that the waves are outside, and the grass on the grave is already three feet?

However, I heard that he had newly married the daughter of Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng faction, a spiritual-level monk called Su Jin, so he should still be happy somewhere, and I don't know if Su Jin is beautiful, but I heard that he is a little tall.

Hmph, it's just that there is a good father, isn't it now that he has stepped down and become the leader of the signature alliance, can he still jump for a few days, if you want to talk about capital, can you compare to the old lady, thinking of this, Qiu Zhenzhen's figure couldn't help but pause for a moment at the corner of the street, and looked down at the chest that was tightly bound by the inner cloth, and said in his heart This broken thing is really suffocating and uncomfortable, and I have to find a way to get a disguise craft when I go back, so I don't need this kind of thing that damages my body.

Qiu Zhenzhen pretended to pass by, passing through the agreed business, at this point in time, the business that operates all day according to the old practice, there should still be a few guys watching, however, today looks a little special, in front of this business, several shop guys are unusually scattered, more than a dozen boxes of goods, have not been cleaned yet.

"What's the matter, aren't you doing business?" Qiu Zhenzhen pretended to be interested, and asked a young ordinary man who was lazy, leaning on the counter and doing nothing.

"Oh, auntie, business is going on, what do you buy?" the young man just raised his head when he saw that it was a half-aged with the thickness of a bucket.

You're the big lady!

The old lady is very young!

Qiu Zhenzhen quickly added two sentences in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but continued to ask enthusiastically, "Just take a look, what, you are not busy today." ”

"Oh!" The young man just said "oh", his face showed a trace of sadness, Qiu Zhenzhen, who had been practicing hard recently, immediately caught a trace of abnormality, and asked in a low voice, "What about your shopkeeper?" She had already discovered that the fat old man who had been settling accounts in the room on weekdays was indeed not there.

"Our shopkeeper has something to do. ”

The guy pretended to smile, but still couldn't escape Qiu Zhenzhen's eyes, she immediately realized that the shopkeeper here should have had an accident, maybe he got into trouble with some upstart, but if you want to talk about upstarts, there are no upstarts in this Lelin City, except for the city lord Leng Tingtao who became the head of Lelin Gate, there are only a few new elders who came from the south, could it be that this shopkeeper has provoked one of them?

Wrong!

This shop can gain a foothold in this place with such a dense flow of people and business opportunities during the day, it is impossible to say that there is no background, and the person who can take the shopkeeper away must not be an ordinary identity, on the other hand, what can he do, but things can't just look at the surface, could it be that he is the same as himself, and he is also an agent sent by a certain sect?

In this way, is it possible that after the establishment of Lelinmen, there will be a big cleanup?

Thinking about it, just as a new house must be carefully cleaned, perhaps the new head and his new subordinates are in a hurry to put a few fierce fires to show their majesty and worth.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenzhen suddenly became afraid, so she stopped asking, and randomly clicked a few things to check, then pretended not to like it, and continued to walk, according to the old practice, she would stay at the street corner in front of her for a short time, until a person dressed as a sloppy scholar passed by, and then she could leave, and the scholar was the connector, but the two did not pass any information here.

Just waited for a stick of incense, the scholar didn't appear, Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't help but be a little unable to stand, she couldn't be nothing, she stayed here for too long, she lame into a monk's supply store, looked at it casually, made a simple inquiry but didn't make a move, the corner of her eyes kept glancing at the street, and still didn't find any trace of the connector.

Something is wrong!

Qiu Zhenzhen immediately had a realization, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up suddenly, and in an instant, several thoughts spontaneously arose in his heart, whether to run, or return to the "Jingwen Pavilion" safely, he had to make a decision quickly, it was getting late, and he stayed on the street, which was even more attention-grabbing. She left the shop and walked in the opposite direction of the "Jingwen Pavilion".

After traveling two or three miles, she sensed that more than one person was following, so she invisibly quickened her pace, and there was an extra dagger in her sleeve, and the spiritual power was slowly injected into it, making it sharper, and at the same time observing the houses near the left, looking for places that could be hastily avoided, however, at this time, the moon rose in the evening, and there were bleak and lightless everywhere along the way, only a few scattered merchants, and they still did not close, so she accelerated her pace again, and remembered

Yes, near the old house of the Zhong family in front, there is a very large magic shop, I heard that it is the property of Lizong, presumably the other party will not do it there.

Just thinking about it, there was a blue-robed man on the opposite side of the alley who stood abruptly, Qiu Zhenzhen stopped, looked back behind him, there were two strangers, and on the house near the left, I don't know where three figures flew out, peeking at their cultivation, at least they were all at the Xuan level.

This......

Qiu Zhenzhen, who is not good at fighting, instantly felt that there was nothing to do, and it was really difficult to escape from this situation.

"Mrs. Qiu, please move and go to the head of the inner mansion to talk about it. The big man walked forward a few steps, his voice was like a bell, but he said something that made Qiu Zhenzhen suddenly frightened.

He even knows who I am?

It seems that the sloppy scholar has been caught, Qiu Zhenzhen immediately realized in his heart, the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of killing him on the spot, could it be that he has another purpose?

Mrs. Qiu? Could it be that it was aimed at Jiang Feng? But these thoughts are not important, if she wants to live now, she can only obediently obey. It's just that I feel a little sorry in my heart, if the secret path can find the clue near that shop for the first time, I'm afraid that I am in that Lizong's shop now, maybe I can escape this catastrophe.

It's useless to say anything, the other party's strength crushes him, and Qiu Zhenzhen secretly put away the dagger in his sleeve.

"Lead the way!"

Maybe the final result was not so miserable, Qiu Zhenzhen, who pretended to be calm, knew in his heart at this time that since he was captured, the other party most likely wanted to ask Jiang Feng for something in exchange, but they didn't know that they were a nominal lady, and they didn't have any real friendship with Jiang Feng, so would they be abandoned by Jiang Feng because of this, thinking of this, and thinking of Sitian, who was far away in Luo Chuan, the fear in her heart was even stronger.

............

"That messenger of the Asagama Sect has been arrested. ”

Ningta City, Zhong Mansion, Zhu Yuan, who looked tired, entered the inner mansion and reported to Zhong Shan as soon as possible, "Moreover, that messenger seems to be Jiang Feng's wife, called Qiu Zhenzhen." ”

"Madam?" Zhong Shan looked incredulous, "Let Madame come over and do the work of the spy herself?"

"At least that's what I got the message. Zhu Yuan didn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, and drank the cold tea on the table in one gulp, "It is said that many people have been arrested today, as well as the secret agents of the Chixia Sect and the Biyun Sect, and they have also been arrested." ”

"What is Leng Tingtao going to do? Do you really think of yourself as the master?" Zhong Shan couldn't sit still, stood up and walked around the hall, "You say this......"

"Qiu Zhenzhen. Zhu Yuan knew what he was talking about, and added in time.

"Yes, it's this Mrs. Qiu, which link exposed herself?"

"This ......" Zhu Yuan was asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "Since she is doing secret agents here, there must be many opportunities that may be exposed, I have always sent people to follow her, except for contact with us, no obvious traces have been found." ”

"It's bad!" Zhong Shan suddenly turned around, his hands kept rubbing in front of him, he stretched out his right hand, and pointed his index finger at Zhu Yuan, wanting to say something, but he didn't seem to find the most suitable words for a while, until Zhu Yuan also looked at him with a surprised face, he sorted out his thoughts, "Zhu Yuan, when you came, did you prevent being followed?"

"Prevent tailgating?" Zhu Yuan looked puzzled, "You are the head of my family, do I need to guard against others when I see you?"

"No, I don't need to, but I need it now. Zhong Shan's eyes were introverted, "The person you sent to keep an eye on Qiu Zhenzhen, how is his cultivation?"

"Mundane. ”

"What about the person who arrested Qiu Zhenzhen?"

"Four Xuan-level, two Zhuji. ”

"That's right, could it be that the spies you sent out can avoid their eyes and ears?"

"This can't be, but what's the connection?" Zhu Yuan couldn't help but ask, but he immediately realized something, "You mean, they still want to see who this mundane spy is pointing at?"

"You've finally got the hang of it. Zhong Shan let out a sigh, "Although it can be explained as accidental, most of the things we have in contact with the Assayama Sect have been exposed. ”

"So what?" Zhu Yuan said, "Leng Tingtao is your brother-in-law, is it possible, at the beginning of the sect, he will destroy his relatives in righteousness, not to mention, it is just a little evidence, and it can't be counted, we and Jiang Feng haven't even met." ”

"That was in the past, before, Su Liqing was the head of the house, he listened coldly to Tao to deal with me, and he also needed to consider Su Liqing's reaction, but now Su Liqing is only the leader of the alliance, and I, and this Ningta City, belong to Lelinmen, he naturally will not let me go, and guard the west gate leading to his sect with peace of mind. At least, under this pretext, transfer me to his side. ”

"At least there will be no danger, Ningta City is not rich, the trees are dead, the people are alive, maybe there is another world. "Zhu Yuan has a poor sense of Ningta City, in his opinion, this place has no spiritual land, the terrain is not flat, there are a few spiritual springs, but there are not too many spiritual valleys, and there are not many ordinary people who can be raised, and the future development potential is limited.

"Leng Tingtao would be so kind?"

Zhong Shan finally stabilized the panic and fear that appeared in his heart at the beginning, and thought about the changes that might result from this, "Although Ningta City is a little barren, it is adjacent to the Qianshan Sect, which is convenient for the introduction of foreign aid, given time, if my Dao can go further, maybe it is not impossible to re-establish Yanqi Ridge based on this, but once it is surrounded by people who listen to the Tao coldly, this hope will be completely shattered." ”

"And," he looked at his henchman Zhu Yuan, "My sister Zhong Yun is already pregnant, and once she gives birth to a boy, my importance will not be as important as it is now, and it is still unknown where she will die at that time." ”

"Is it so serious?" Zhu Yuan was puzzled, "Even if we are willing to be under the roof, is it possible that there is no life yet?"

"Zhu Yuan, you have followed me for many years, but you still don't understand me. Zhong Shan patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder, "I don't know how to listen to Tao coldly, unlike Su Liqing, it's useless to keep a low profile in front of him, so we pretend to be poor and often show the old routine of lack of materials, which is completely useless." He could have done it all, but some, in order to cater to him, said

Maybe they'll come up with some nasty ideas against me. I've decided, I'll leave tonight. ”

"Where to go?"

"Go west, borrow the road of the shallow mountain sect, go to the Qingyu sect, I heard that it is the time to employ people, which is convenient for me to pursue the avenue, and after everything is successful, I will return here to find a way to restore the Yanqi Ridge. ”

"Head of the house, I'll go with you!"

"No, Zhu Yuan, you have to stay. The industry here needs to be managed by people, and after I have the strength to re-establish the sect, I also need financial support. After I leave, you will go to my sister Zhong Yun, presumably Leng Tingtao will not embarrass you. ”

"This ......" Zhu Yuan hesitated, and before he could refute, a guard came to report that there was an edict from the head of the house, and the two of them were shocked, and hurriedly ordered to greet the envoy, but the person who came was a personal guard under his sister Zhong Yun.

"The head of the door told that Mrs. Zhong has been ill recently, and I hope that the city lord Zhong will bring her relatives to visit. ”

"Really?"

"Yes. The day before yesterday, boating on East Lake, the night wind was very urgent. The guard looked sincere, Zhong Shan also knew him, and knew that he wouldn't lie, but his sister was a monk, and she wouldn't be so easy to get sick, not to mention that there must be a monk in charge of the house, so it would not be a good thing to invite yourself in such a hurry.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning. ”

Zhong Shan thought about it, arranged the dismissal of the personal guard carefully, turned around and said to Zhu Yuan, "I set off overnight. Arrange four carriages to go out together and go in different directions. ”

"What about you?"

Zhu Yuan thought about it, took out all the belongings he was carrying, and handed them to Zhong Shan, in fact, when Yanqiling was destroyed, the two of them took a lot of things, in order to show their loyalty, in the process of killing their relatives in righteousness, they also looted a lot of money, just for safety, they have kept a low profile, which even Zhong Shan's sister Zhong Yun does not know.

"I left through the back door disguised as a servant and went to the Asayama Sect. I'll find a way to get in touch with you when everything settles down. ”

............

In an inn outside the City Lord's Mansion in Ningta City, in a room on the second floor where the lights had just been turned off, a hole was suddenly pierced in the papier-mâché window, and a black eye was aimed at the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

This city lord is quite particular!

The wind chime seemed to be a magic weapon, although it was broken, and the stone carvings in the courtyard were some years old, he secretly admired.

This person staring at the outside world is Wu Laizi Wu Tiande, who has traveled here, since he left Luochuan, he has been traveling in the east and south, and his traces are all over the hometown of Heishuimen, the northern border of Wei State, and the western part of the Jincheng faction, he knows that his cultivation is still shallow, and he has not reached the Xuan level, so he does not dare to go too far, but this kind of wandering life is what he likes in his heart.

This is also the first time he has spied on the city lord's mansion of the Jincheng faction at close range, to say that this Ningta City is not too big, and there is no property, he originally just passed through here, wanting to return to Tuqiao Town, and then return to Luochuan, after all, he has not been ordered for a long time, whether it is his old man Wu Quanzhong, or the nominal master Wei Ruoguang, he will "repair and rectify" himself, and when necessary, he still has to give them some face.

It's a pity, although you observe it closely, the weather of this city lord's mansion is still much worse than the city of Wei. It's just that now it is the territory of Qingyu Sect and Tianyin Temple, thinking of this, Wu Tiande has some regrets, he wanted to mix into the establishment ceremony of Qingyu Sect, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

............

The hometown of Wei, Qing Yuzong, Zhuqiao City.

Wu Xuan, the city lord of Xiushui City, remembered that this was his fifth time here, but the first four times were all because of the founding ceremony of the sect and all kinds of red tape, and today's trip was the first time because of the affairs of the sect.

"I've seen the boss!"

After sorting out this new cyan standard sect robe made at his own expense, and entering the slightly empty inner mansion of the head of the sect, Wu Xuan soon saw the head of Wan Yu Pavilion, it is said that his cultivation has reached the pseudo-heaven level, which is equivalent to the Yuan Ying realm of the human race, Wu Xuan felt a strong sense of coercion more than ten zhang away.

It's terrifying!

Accompanying the head of the sect is also the elder of the inner gate, Chen Kun, compared to the last time he saw him, Chen Kun's cultivation has improved, it seems that he has reached the realm of building the foundation of the Great Perfection, but it is a thousand miles a day, which makes Wu Xuan, who is difficult on the avenue, admire.

The rest of the people are the new law enforcement elder Liu Daoran, the original city lord of Leiyun City, the early cultivation of Jindan, Wu Xuan recognized him, but he didn't have any friendship; Bai Xin, the elder of the outer gate, cultivated in the middle section of the foundation, the original city lord of Beigui City, and also persuaded himself to return to Wanyu Pavilion; and the new general elder Xu Huaiwu, who built the foundation and cultivated successfully, the original Loubin City lord, since Yilan City was given to Tianluomen because of the help of Tianluomen to coordinate the contradiction between Qingyu Sect and Tianyin Temple, Lou Bincheng has become the main port for Qingyu Sect's materials to be transported to Tianyuan Nanlu, so he was was"Suggestion" to step down from the position of city lord, and at the same time have a better position in the sect.

"Very good, I called you here today, it is a reward for meritorious deeds!"

I could only hear Chen Kun, the elder of the inner gate standing at the top, say that although theoretically speaking, the law enforcement elder is the respect of all the elders, but Wu Xuan and the others here all know that Chen Kun is a henchman who has been following the head of Wan Yuting, and his status is transcendent, and everyone privately calls him the "second master".

"The subordinates don't dare!" Wu Xuan said humbly, he, like more than a dozen former Wei City Lords, were all people who had "meritorious service".

"This elixir will be given to you, it can help you advance to a higher realm, but if you make more merits in the future, you can be given a higher-level elixir. Before the words fell, a black pill flew in front of Wu Xuan.

Is this coming?

Wu Xuan suddenly became afraid, I heard that the head of the sect planted the "seed of the heart demon" for many people, this is probably a similar thing disguised as a pill, I recently heard in private, the city lord of Wuliang City ate a pill given by the head of the house, although the cultivation has entered, but because of a private meeting with a city lord of Tianyin Temple, he exploded and died at night, is it possible, is it this thing?

A little bit of cold sweat invisibly converged into a stream, flowing down his neck, and Wu Xuan suddenly felt that this well-fitting robe made at his own expense was a little too close-fitting.

What to do?

It seems that there is no way to refuse.
