A big city appeared in the cold frost and mist, and it was said to be a big city, but the prosperity level was at most equivalent to a county town in the Tang Dynasty that lived in the main traffic artery, and it was not comparable with the state capital and other cities in the Tang Dynasty, but it seemed that this city was indeed large. For the Turks, such rear cities were very rare.

Tens of thousands of earthen houses gather next to some seemingly ** palaces, those palaces have cylindrical pedestals and full domes, and what is even more strange is that there are many thin and tall minarets erected on the roof, which is completely different from the architecture of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, full of exotic customs.

The name of this city is Crescent Lake.

The sun rose, a ray of sunlight reflected on Miaole's fair and beautiful face, as if she noticed something, she took out a silk scarf from her arms, shook it in the wind, and the silk scarf turned into a fur coat and a gauze scarf. She quickly slipped her coat on her body and covered her face with a scarf.

"Let's go in and find Ge Qiu. Miao Le said.

"You don't know where she is?" asked Li Tianqi.

Miao Le smiled and said, "Isn't this here to find you?" so she came with her first, and sent me a message to Crescent Lake, but I don't know the exact location. Oh, by the way, you've got to wear makeup. As he spoke, he took out another pill out of nowhere.

"Come again?" Li Tianqi suffered this hardship, and waved his hand again and again: "This is exempt, Gong Ling has suffered a loss, and he must have been on guard, besides, I am here to meet Fei'er and Yuxian this time, so I don't have to hide my true identity anymore." ”

Miao Le smiled and said, "Don't worry, this will just make your face redder and rounder, and it also has a peculiar medicinal effect, that is, you can not only understand the language of their place, but also speak it." ”

"Why do I want to be redder and rounder?" Li Tianqi asked rhetorically, "Does it look more like them? And there is actually a medicine that can speak different Chinese? This is new." ”

Miao Le said: "You can eat it, I promise it won't be like the previous hundred alchemy pills." ”

Although Li Tianqi was a little skeptical, he still took the pill and ate it, the pill felt like a sour bayberry, with some bitterness in the sourness.

After Li Tianqi ate it, he felt that his face began to get hot, and his hands and feet became warmer, he couldn't help touching his face, but it was only slightly swollen, and it didn't change much, so he put his mind at ease.

The sun gradually rose, the smog gradually dissipated, and the outline of a city shrouded in ice and snow was clearly presented in front of Li Tianqi and Miaole's eyes.

In a foreign city, although it is early in the morning, the streets are still deserted, and there are no vendors waiting for breakfast and refreshments.

Miao Le looked into the distance, but there was no shadow of the inn near the round palace, and at this time she tried to find someone to ask, but she did not meet a passerby. Miao Le thought to herself, since Ge Qiu sent the message near the round palace, then it was possible that he had settled in the inn.

The two of them had no choice but to walk slowly towards that side.

Li Tianqi asked, "Miss Miaole, I have something I want to ask you about. I don't know if to ask?"

Miao Le said: "Since you don't know whether to ask or not, then don't ask." ”

Li Tianqi coughed in embarrassment, Miaole smiled, and said, "It's just a joke with you." Okay, what do you have to ask?"

Li Tianqi then asked: "Miss Miaole, I dare to ask, is my master's mother, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, also known as your honorific leader, very powerful?"

Miao Le took a deep breath and said, "Of course, if it is a matter of cultivation, the combination of the Joyful Dao Saint and that Gong Ling may not necessarily be able to defeat our Great Leader. ”

"But why ......" Before Li Tianqi could ask, Miaole had already continued.

She said: "What happened here, Ge Qiu and I don't know, but I speculate that the big leader must have lost his thousand-year-old cultivation for some special reason, so that his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Li Tianqi was surprised: "Millennial cultivation......?

Miao Le said: "Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, our fox demon can get a human form since a hundred years of cultivation, which is different from the general, every two hundred years of cultivation in the future, it will grow an extra tail, until the nine-tailed peak is counted." This tail is not only a symbol of status, but also represents the realm of cultivation, so you now know what the nine-tailed fox demon represents. ”

"Hmm. I see. It seems that the master Xiao Ruyu can turn into an immortal. Li Tianqi said.

Miao Le said: "How can it be so easy to become an immortal, but it's not much closer." So you say, if it weren't for the trickery, the great leader of our family would have been so easily missing?"

Li Tianqi said: "That ......"

Miao Le said: "Your master back then, alas...... I think it must be like this with our big chief, so our big leader accidentally lost his guard, and then fell into the trap of the gangsters. Not to mention, it's a little sad to talk about again. ”

Li Tianqi hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "I am really sorry for making Miss Miaole feel sad." ”

Miao Le waved his hand and said, "It's okay." The past is like smoke, as long as you rescue the big boss this time, the truth you want will surely come to light and come to pass. ”

"Hmm. Li Tianqi nodded.

At this time, the two of them had arrived on the street outside the palace, where several streets intersected, but they did not see any flags or signs of the inn, which made Miao Le feel a little anxious.

She said, "I made an agreement with Ge Qiu. If she's around here, she'll leave a mark for me. But there was no inn in the four places, and there was no mark left by her, so could something happen to her?"

Li Tianqi said: "Don't worry, if the message she sent is sent here, she will definitely be able to find some clues." We'll split up and look for it. ”

Miao Le said: "You have to look carefully at the door or the wall left a spiral circle, if there is, that is where Ge Qiu is." ”

"Good. Li Tianqi clenched his fists slightly, turned around and walked to the side, while Miaole turned around and walked to the other side.

The houses here are not dense, but they are easy to distinguish, Li Tianqi walked for a while, but did not find any marked houses.

However, when he passed by a slightly old house, he found an "X" carved on the left side of the door, which was not the mark of the Assassin League, and how could it be found in this place?

Li Tianqi thought to himself, he was afraid that he was wrong, so he looked around and didn't find anyone else, so he took a few steps forward and carefully distinguished.

That's right, a knife and a sword are crossed, and it can be seen that the person who portrays the mark is not ambiguous, and the appearance of the sword is the style of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

"What person?" A Turkic phrase came out of the house unexpectedly, to Li Tianqi's surprise, he really understood, although he was not afraid that the other party was a member of the Assassin Alliance, but because the purpose of his trip was not achieved, he didn't want to attract too many people's attention, so he heard the question of the person in the house, so he quickly dodged away and ran towards the street.

However, the people in the house were faster than him.

When Li Tianqi heard the sound of the door opening behind him, a figure had appeared in front of him, and the cold blade was on his neck, wrapping him around him and jumping back into the room again and closing the door by the way.

Li Tianqi's heart was cold, he didn't expect that there was such a powerful character hidden in this seemingly ordinary room, seeing that he had fallen into the hands of the other party, he couldn't help asking: "Who is Your Excellency? What are you going to do?"

What he said was what he thought in his heart, but he subconsciously knew that the other party was a Turkic, and when he opened his mouth to say this, it was actually Turkic!

Li Tianqi was extremely shocked in his heart, this wonderful music was really powerful, and the elixir could be so effective, and it didn't take long for him to master the Turkic language.

"Lao Tzu didn't ask you, but you asked Lao Tzu instead, what are you doing sneaking outside?" The man then pressed a sharp blade against Li Tianqi's neck, so that he had to raise his head.

At this sight, the man couldn't help but be startled, and suddenly pulled down the mask and said in Chinese: "You...... Why are you? Are you Li Tianqi?

Li Tianqi also saw the other party's face, and was overjoyed, blurted out: "It turned out to be you." Brother Bozhong, I've recovered!" He also switched back to Chinese.

"Shhh

Li Tianqi saw his surprised expression, and said, "I came here to find my mother." ”

"Ah, is Lingtang here?" said the eldest grandson.

"yes. According to someone who revealed that my mother was brought to this area, the land of Loulan. Li Tianqi said.

The eldest grandson Bozhong was even more shocked and said, "It turns out that you also know here. What a coincidence. ”

Hearing that the eldest grandson Bozhong also confirmed that this place was also Loulan, Li Tianqi's heart was relieved, he was originally worried that Miaole deliberately deceived him to come, but now it has disappeared, he asked: "Brother Bozhong, we said goodbye in a hurry in Shushan, but it turns out that you have come here thousands of miles away. ”

The eldest grandson Bozhong said: "Don't hide it from Brother Tianqi, I am busy with business, and now I am non-stop." However, I congratulate the Apocalypse Brothers for finding the clue to Lingtang. ”

Li Tianqi still shook his head and said: "I just heard that it is in the Loulan area, but the specific location is a little confusing due to something that happened in the middle." Alas......"

"So you don't have an exact location?" asked the eldest grandson.

"yes. Li Tianqi felt stunned.

After a moment's thought, he asked again, "What is Brother Bo Zhong here for?" Could it be that the eldest grandson Bo Zhong also came to track Gong Ling?

The eldest grandson Bozhong said, "Have you heard of Zijimo?"

Li Tianqi had naturally heard of it.

Li Tianqi said: "What kind of character is Zi Jimo? I have heard of it more than once, and I have also been indirectly involved in his affairs. But I haven't seen this person until now. Why, is Brother Bo Zhong here for him?"

"I don't know what is at stake. The eldest grandson Bozhong clasped his fists in the direction of Chang'an and said: "The emperor found out that this person has a close connection with Gong Ling, and he settled in this place, so he secretly ordered me to come to investigate." And it just so happened that the League of Assassins seemed to be interested in this area, so they came over together. ”

I once heard Lu Linlang mention that Tong Lao is also looking for the whereabouts of Zijimo, and Xu Shaoyu is also very interested in this Zijimo, who is this Zijimo?
