Chapter 10 Out of town
Eight days later, in the afternoon, the sun was shining warmly.
In the courtyard, Li Fei sat on the ground without any image, with hot sweat dripping from his face and his clothes were soaked through.
He had just finished a high-intensity exercise and was slightly exhausted.
Over the past few days, he has been meditating every day to increase his magic energy. If he meditates continuously for more than three hours, his spirit will fall into a state of severe fatigue and he will naturally be unable to continue meditating.
After that, Li Fei would practice dark magic until all the magic energy in his body was exhausted, and he mastered two basic dark magics, namely [Quicksand Technique] and [Slowness Technique].
He focused on practicing the Dark Element Blade spell, because it can directly cause damage to the enemy. The spell is simple, and the best effect is a sneak attack in secret.
Li Fei spent the rest of the time exercising until he was so tired that he was sweating and exhausted, so he went to bed to rest.
Therefore, he had a very fulfilling six days, and the result of his hard work was a rapid increase in strength.
Li Fei sat on the ground and rested for a while, then slowly stood up, took a square hat from the wall and put it on his head, then raised his legs and walked towards the door.
Today is a special day. Zhang Qiaoer has already found out the time when the birthday gifts will be sent to the capital, and will set off in half a month.
There is little use in keeping the cat behind closed doors. You must go to the official road to conduct an on-site inspection, so that you can better formulate a plan to get back what belongs to you.
But before that, he still had to do one thing, which was to seek revenge against Chen Kuo.
There was a risk of exposure in doing so, but he had a certain degree of confidence when he dared to go out. After all, he had disappeared for so many days. According to normal people's thinking, he would have escaped from the city long ago, and how could he dare to stay in the city.
And according to the news from Zhang Qiaoer, there was no large-scale manhunt in the city, but the inspection at the city gate was very strict.
After leaving the door, Li Fei arrived at the pawn shop not long after and hid in a corner opposite.
The door of the pawnshop was closed, and people were coming and going on the street in front, but no one noticed Li Fei in the corner.
He stared in the direction of the pawn shop, feeling extremely calm.
Now there are extra people outside the pawn shop. In addition to a door, there are four strong men with bulging waists. They are obviously pretending.
Chen Kuo must have known about the tragedy that happened in the dungeon, and he was worried about being retaliated against, so he wanted to add more manpower to take precautions.
"This person is very careful." Li Fei said in his heart.
Time passed by, the sun quietly left, putting back its dazzling light, and the world ushered in dusk. The sky at this time was a bright red.
This also meant that it was getting dark soon. Li Fei frowned. He couldn't spend a whole night here. If Chen Kuo didn't show up, he would have to find another opportunity.
Soon things took a turn for the better. A wealthy middle-aged man appeared outside the pawn shop, leaned over to talk to a doorman, and gave the doorman some scraps of silver.
Menzi got the benefit, with a look of joy on his face, he turned around and opened the door and walked into the pawn shop.
Soon, Chen Kuo, who had made Li Fei "miss him day and night", walked out of the pawn shop. He hadn't seen him for several days, and his face clearly showed some haggardness.
Li Fei raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Chen Kuo's back, showed a cruel smile, raised a palm, silently recited a spell, and began to condense the magic energy in his body, preparing to release the dark element blade.
He was about two meters away from Chen Kuo, which was just the right distance for him.
Outside the pawn shop, a middle-aged employee raised his hands and said, "Hello, brother Chen. It's really not easy to meet you."
Chen Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, something happened on my brother's side. I'm afraid someone is secretly trying to kill me, so I have to be careful."
The middle-aged member did not believe it, so he waved his hand and said, "Brother Chen is joking. Who doesn't know that you have the support of the county magistrate behind you? Even if someone takes the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, they won't dare to deal with you."
Chen Kuo spoke very clearly and was about to invite him in to talk. Just as he was about to speak, he heard an exclamation from the other party's mouth.
"careful."
Then he heard a "chi" sound, and a slender black blade shot straight from his back.
In the blink of an eye, the black blade hit his back. The skin was torn open by the black blade at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then penetrated deep quickly.
Chen Kuo let out a scream, and his body was pushed forward by the strong momentum. He staggered a few steps and then fell to the ground.
The middle-aged member suddenly panicked, dancing and shouting: "Brother Chen! Come here, help!"
"Don't let him run away, he was the one who harmed the shopkeeper." Menzi pointed at the middle-aged employee and shouted sharply.
When the four strong men heard this, they rushed forward without any explanation and pushed the middle-aged member Waiwai to the ground.
The middle-aged member yelled out: "Are you waiting to faint? I am your master's friend."
Menzi took out some pieces of silver, threw it in his face, and said, "What kind of friend? You were clearly the one who killed the shopkeeper and sent him to prison."
Now that something happened, someone would naturally take the blame. It was the disciples who invited Chen Kuo out, so it was inevitable that he would be involved.
As the saying goes, strike first to gain advantage and strike later to suffer disaster. If he killed the middle-aged member first and then the murderer, he might be able to save himself.
Seeing someone fall, people walking on the street immediately caused a commotion. Some people wanted to go over to watch the fun, while others were talking in the distance.
But Li Fei had already turned around and walked out of the city, without even looking at Chen Kuo. This situation corresponded to a poem: "When it's over, take off your clothes and hide your body and name."
Unlike the loose interior of the city, the city gate is much tighter. Soldiers are deployed here to carefully inspect not only convoys and carriages where people can hide, but also civilians passing by.
In the past few days, many monks who came here to practice fasting were arrested because they did not have long hair.
Of course, all this was thanks to Li Fei. He killed six policemen in a row, and the identity of "enemy spy" fabricated for him by Hu Xian Cheng was enough to attract the attention of local officials.
As long as Li Fei is not caught for one day, the neighboring counties will also be so nervous.
The sky was completely dark. At this time, Li Fei was following a caravan of about twenty people, which pulled ten carts of goods and slowly walked towards the city gate.
Only the torch was lit in front of the city gate, and the rest of the city was dark, which made it easier for Li Fei to hide.
Although the investigation was strict, Li Fei did not panic. He had thought of countermeasures before this.
Seeing a convoy approaching, the deputy general in charge of guarding the city walked to the front and waved his hand to stop the convoy.
The deputy general shouted: "Which caravan are you from? Why are you leaving the city at this time?"
At this time, a woman came out of the carriage at the front. Her face was veiled, making it difficult to see her face clearly.
She walked up to the deputy general and said softly: "The general has invited the little girl Li Furong, who is from Yunzhou. Her father, Li Ying, is the owner of Lijiazhuang. Now she is transporting a batch of salt back to her hometown for sale. The journey is far, so
If you want to travel in the dark, please ask the general to make it easier."
As she spoke, she took out a few banknotes and secretly stuffed them into the deputy general's hands.
The deputy general accepted the benefit, but did not relax his vigilance. He said calmly: "If there is no problem with your goods, there is no harm in checking them. I can trouble you to lead the way, girl."
Li Furong smiled and said: "That's what it should be, General."
She walked to a carriage and opened the curtain for the deputy general to check. The deputy general glanced twice and nodded when he saw that there was no one hiding in the carriage.
After checking several carriages in succession, there were no problems, and the deputy general was satisfied that he had done enough, so he ordered the soldiers to let them go, but all men had to take off their hats for inspection.
The convoy went first, followed by the caravan members. After seven carriages passed smoothly, something unexpected happened. A skeleton suddenly appeared on the side of the road. Its eyes were glowing with green light, and it was staggering towards the crowd.
.
"Ah, there is a monster!"
"He is coming towards us, run quickly, the monster is arresting us."
The caravan crowd suddenly became chaotic, and people crowded forward and ran forward.
When the deputy general saw this, he felt displeased and shouted loudly: "Please line up your team and go out, don't mess around."
Li Furong looked at the skeleton and couldn't help but said: "General, he is most afraid of encountering unclean things when he is traveling at night, so please be patient."
The deputy general heard what they said and thought it was reasonable, so he ignored them and led a group of soldiers to surround the skeleton. Everyone waved torches in their hands to strengthen their courage.
Seeing the soldiers surrounding them, the skeleton soldiers just stood there blankly and made no other movements.
The skeleton soldiers were naturally summoned by Li Fei to create chaos and attract attention, but Li Fei took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and ran out of the city gate.
All the soldiers were very nervous, worried that the skeleton would suddenly cause trouble, but they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke.
The lieutenant general turned around and saw that the convoy and people were leaving, so he loudly ordered: "Close the city gate. I want to see who is causing trouble here."
A soldier beside him pointed at the skeleton soldier and asked: "Sir, how should we deal with this monster?"
The deputy general thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to find a rope right now, and you guys can surround him."
In fact, when Li Fei left, he had given the skeleton soldiers an order not to move. No matter what they did, the skeleton soldiers would always maintain their current posture and would not escape.
