Chapter 108: Counting and Being Calculated
At midnight, the sky was not yet fully bright. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Mu and Shen Li had already appeared on the way to the north gate. Although it was still early, there were many people on the road.
The small city is located in the mountains, connecting Lanzhou and Shuzhou. It can be said that it is a traffic artery, and there are many people coming and going in the city. This, coupled with the recent lockdown, has led to an exceptionally high number of people coming in and out of the city in and out of the city in recent days.
Shen Li walked in the crowd, although her face was very calm, but in fact, she had been habitually paying attention to the crowd around her. Li Mu also went to the street for the first time since he woke up, and he counted the mouth of the alley according to his memory of the last time he came here.
Both were carrying parcels.
Since it was decided to use Shangguan Yin's power to get out of the predicament of the small city, Li Mu and Shen Li were also ready for their own efforts. Everything needed was packed in his bags by him and Shen Li. And they got up early according to the time Shangguan Yin said, and now they appeared near the north gate.
"One, two, three. Li Mu's finger pointed to the mouth of the third alley. It was an alley between a pharmacy and a carriage shop.
Li Mu took Shen Li into the alley, probably because Du Jiang and Zhou Mo had blocked their memories in the alley before, and Li Mu felt a little bit of a bow and snake shadow in his heart.
That's right, in Li Mu's heart, Zhou Moji and Du Jiang are in the same group. Li Mu even thought that it was Zhou Moji who led Du Jiang to find himself. It's no wonder that he can't be blamed, after all, the news that Zhou Moji is a member of the Grandmaster Hall was beyond Li Mu's expectations, and Du Jiang came later, which made people have to think of it.
Shen Li held Li Mu's arm and gave Li Mu a gentle touch. Li Mu came back to his senses and walked towards the depths of the alley.
He didn't go far before Li Mu saw a fortune teller with a goatee and a shabby robe sitting cross-legged on the ground. Seeing that he is not young, he is not afraid of the cold when he sits on the stone bricks early in the morning.
Li Mu walked in and found that this fortune teller had a large piece of paper in front of him. It reads: "Taiyi National Religion ancestral physiognomy, touch the bones and look at the word lottery." And on both sides of this sentence, two sentences were also written: "Win over Bu Yanjun, only lose to the heavenly immortals." ”
After reading it, Li Mu sneered in his heart. This person is so angry! Wearing a shabby Taoist robe, he really thinks he is a serious disciple of Taiyi? He is even better than Bu Yanjun, this is completely bragging.
Li Mu disdains it, he doesn't really come here to tell fortunes. He just wanted to get out of town. So he said according to the joint incision explained by Shangguan Yin yesterday: "Don't look at marriage, just look at the future." ”
The fortune teller suddenly opened his eyes and looked Li Mu and Shen up and down At this moment, Li Mu seemed to see a trace of essence in his eyes.
Li Mu was stunned, this fortune teller doesn't seem to be simple.
The glint was fleeting, and the fortune teller made the incision. "The future is unpredictable, can I add money?"
Li Mu said directly: "Take us out of the city." ”
The fortune teller stood up and said to the two, "Please come with me." The palace master has already arranged everything. ”
Since they are connected, it can also be confirmed that Shangguan Yin did not lie to them. In this way, Li Mu felt that things were simpler. So he followed the fortune teller.
The fortune teller walked to a small door on the side of the alley, which seemed to be someone's side door.
"Tuk tuk. The fortune teller knocked three times on the door with his hand. But Li Mu noticed that the rhythm of this knock was exactly the same as when Guan Yin knocked on the door last night.
The small door opened, and inside was a somewhat thin man. He just glanced at the person brought by the fortune teller. Then let the three of them in.
After entering the door, the fortune teller said to Li Mu and Shen Li, "Wait a minute, you two." Let's go get ready first. With that, he walked over to the short man and whispered a few words. The short man nodded and walked out the door.
Probably to eliminate the vigilance of Li Mu and Shen Li, the fortune teller also stayed in the house.
But even if he stays, can Li Mu and Shen Li really rest assured?
The answer is no. Since stepping through this door, Li Mu has not relaxed. He was preoccupied and guarded. After all, Shen Li has been emphasizing not to trust Shangguan Yin too much. This conclusion comes from a woman's intuition. And a woman's intuition is often very accurate.
Even if Li Mu didn't believe this statement, he would believe Shen Li instead of Shangguan Yin.
As Li Mu himself said, he came today and did not fully trust Shangguan Yin. He just wanted to see if he could use Shangguan Yin's power. That's all.
Li Mu and Shen Li temporarily hid near the north gate, and at the same time, on the second floor of a hotel near the south gate, Shangguan Yin was looking out from the railing. Behind him, there was also a woman with white skin and beautiful makeup, but her makeup was a little bewitching.
The woman covered her mouth with her bare hands and chuckled, "The palace master is really calculating. ”
Shangguan Yin didn't turn around, but said lightly: "If it weren't for the chance to meet last night." I'm afraid I can't think of them either. ”
The demon woman continued: "Now that the palace master has them, then the chances of our success in this operation should be much greater. At least the old man should be able to free up his hands. ”
"yes. Shangguan Yin let out a sigh, "Originally, he led people to cause chaos at the north gate, so as to divert the three forces of the official mission in the city, Yan Xi, and Grandmaster Hall. Now with the targets that these three forces are searching for as bait, I'm afraid it's twice the result with half the effort. ”
However, Ziwei Yuanyan didn't seem to want that Shen Li to have an accident when she lay down. The demon woman added.
Shangguan smiled faintly, but there was a little sigh in his eyes. "The same is the elder of the previous generation of the Star Yin Sect. Taiwei Yan Chong is much more knowledgeable about current affairs than him. Yan has been receiving the name of Ziwei Yuan for too long, so long that he himself thinks that he is the Ziwei Emperor Star, and he can not listen to the orders of me, the palace master. Amamchi, you don't want that. ”
Shangguan Yin's last sentence seemed like a joke, but it shocked the demon woman. "Palace master, I smell Meier's loyalty to the palace master, heaven and earth can learn from it. ”
In the face of Wen Meier's urgent loyalty, Shangguan was noncommittal.
The black cat Xiaojiu walked over from the railing and stopped at Shangguan Yin's right hand.
Shangguan Yin stretched out his hand and stroked the wine.
"When I think of the heyday of the Star Hidden Palace, I will be divided into three walls and twenty-eight houses. Ziweiyuan, there are thirty-seven star officials and one hundred and sixty-three stars. is too micro-walled, there are twenty star officials and seventy-eight stars. Tianshiyuan, there are 19 star officials and 87 stars. What a powerful force this is? Even if the eight major sects join forces, they will still not be our opponents! The Grandmaster Hall will not be able to shake our strength if it comes out!"
"Don't you want the Star Hidden Palace to change back to its original form?"
Wen Mei'er heard Shangguan Yin's proud whisper, and knelt on the ground with a thud. "I haven't experienced it myself, but this time, I want to see it all with my own eyes."
"Well, then, follow me. Shangguan Yin looked into the distance, "I will show you what you want to see." ”
"Today's action is the declaration of our new generation of Star Hidden Palace to the rivers and lakes. We have to tell them that the Star Yin Palace, which they can defeat with the strength of the rivers and lakes, is back! Moreover, it will be even more powerful than before!" Shangguan Yin's hand clenched suddenly, and several cracks stretched out on the railing carved from solid wood. "Let's do it!"
"Yes!" Wen Mei'er replied and turned to leave.
Shangguan Yin was still standing in his original position, and from his point of view, he could just see the scene of the south gate entering and exiting.
And now, Qin Zhongshu, the title dart master of the Jiuyuan Dart Bureau, appeared near the south gate with his convoy.
Due to the lockdown, the convoy of the Jiuyuan Dart Bureau waited outside the city for many days. After entering the city and safely delivering some of the goods, the men and horses rested for a few more days, and they will prepare to leave the city from the south gate of the small city today, and go to Shengzhou.
Because of the search for Li Mu and Shen Li, the security in the small city was inadvertently raised to a terrifying level. Therefore, Qin Zhongshu also temporarily put the threat of the Star Hidden Palace behind him and rested the team with peace of mind.
Now, the convoy is about to leave the city and continue on its way. The trip to Xiaocheng was very smooth, which made Qin Zhongshu feel very comfortable. I haven't gotten up early for many days, but today I got up early, and I was a little tired. He stretched and rubbed his eyes.
It was this action that made him see the slightly scarlet fireworks in the sky.
In the alley of the north gate, the fortune teller looked up and saw the fireworks. He stood up and urged, "It's time, everything is ready." Let's go. After speaking, he took Li Mu and Shen Li and walked out eagerly.
The three of them walked through the alley and once again came to the bottom of the North Gate City.
The fortune teller led the two of them into the line to go out of the city where they were being investigated.
"Just like this?" Li Mu was also suspicious at this time. If that's all there is to it, then what's the difference between them going out of the city on their own?
The fortune teller heard this and shook his head. "Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge. ”
Li Mu frowned, and he suddenly had a not very good feeling.
The fortune teller suddenly took a deep breath, and then he shouted loudly: "The wanted Li Mu and Shen Li are here! Whoever catches them will get forty taels of silver!"
His voice was like a broken gong, but his voice was loud enough!
At the moment when the fortune teller shouted, Li Mu felt cold all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Damn! we've been calculated!"
