Leaving the border of the ravine and arriving at the territory of Shenzhuan Empire, you can see the land below, with countless long streams crisscrossing it.
Even though he was at high altitude, Ling Xiao could still feel the extremely active water element around him.
Half an hour later, the flying boat landed outside a city on the border.
Considering the appearance of Mu'er and Mu Linlang, they will cause unnecessary commotion in the town.
Ling Xiao, Jiang Qing, and Qin Sa were the first to jump off the flying boat.
It's almost late winter now, but it's not cold here. Instead, it's warm and moist.
"Yishui City, according to the location provided by the Ninth Prince, this is the place where we will meet the contact person." Qin Sa said.
The three of them entered the city without stopping.
Unlike Tiancang Empire, although there is a constant flow of people here, not many people stay here.
Pedestrians are in a hurry, and most of them have sallow complexions and sunken eye sockets.
Most of them walked steadily and breathed calmly. They looked like practitioners, but none of them released a trace of spiritual power.
There are not many vendors around, and although the whole street is not deserted, it is extremely quiet.
"Boss, it's so weird here..."
Seeing the ferocious looks on the streets, Jiang Qing couldn't help but move closer to Ling Xiao.
"It's indeed strange. The people here are not low in strength, but they all deliberately hide their cultivation, and their eyes are particularly wary. Let's go to the meeting place first," Ling Xiao said.
The three of them crossed the street and came to a shop in an alley.
Jiang Qing took out a jade ring and placed it on the counter.
The shopkeeper raised his eyes slightly and looked at the three people in front of him.
After a long time, the shopkeeper accepted the jade ring.
"You three, please follow me..."
The shopkeeper walked slowly and led the three of them to an elegant house in the backyard. He bowed his hands to Ling Xiao and the others, and then slowly stepped back.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and opened the door.
I saw a young man in black sitting at the desk.
His complexion is as fair as the bright moon and soft jade, and his brows and eyes reveal the aroma of books unique to Confucian scholars.
Hearing the commotion, the young man glanced at the three people outside the door, still minding their own business playing with the tea sets.
"Shen Wenxuan! How could it be you!"
Jiang Qing exclaimed and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Of course it's me, otherwise who do you think would have the patience to wait for you in this barbaric land for half a month?"
Shen Wenxuan's tone was gentle, but also filled with deep resentment.
Seeing Ling Xiao's confused expression, Qin Sa leaned close to Ling Xiao's ear.
"Brother Xiao, this person is Shen Wenxuan, the eldest son of the Shen family, one of the top ten guardian families."
"The Shen family is the most special family. They hide in the dark, help the royal family collect intelligence, and poison some treacherous officials and mediocre people. It is rumored that Shen Wenxuan is not good at military strategy and has great literary talent, but..."
Ling Xiao didn't pay attention and sat down in front of Shen Wenxuan.
"Are you Xiao Ling?"
Shen Wenxuan raised his eyebrows lightly and handed the poured tea to Ling Xiao.
"Boss, don't..."
Before Jiang Qing could say anything, Ling Xiao had already drank the tea in front of him.
A pair of starry eyes stared coldly into Shen Wenxuan's eyes and nodded indifferently.
Shen Wenxuan looked at Ling Xiao with interest, and then tapped his fingertips on the table.
Half a quarter of an hour later, when he saw that Ling Xiao's expression was as usual, he stood up with a look of shock on his face.
"Sure enough, just like the information, you are actually invulnerable to all poisons!"
Shen Wenxuan held Ling Xiao's wrist and said with a look of astonishment.
"Shen Wenxuan, this is your uncle! How can an informant poison you right after meeting you? Why do you still deserve a beating?"
Jiang Qing rolled up her sleeves and lifted up Shen Wenxuan's collar.
"Xiaoqing, let him go. This is also a way to prove our identity. The eldest son of the Shen family is lurking in other countries. It is always good to be careful." Ling Xiao said.
Jiang Qing then angrily let go of Shen Wenxuan's collar.
After arranging his clothes, Shen Wenxuan came to Ling Xiao with a smile on his face and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Xiao, you should understand the hard work of us secret agents," Shen Wenxuan said.
Ling Xiao chuckled and held his wrist directly.
I saw his five fingers pressed together, and there was a silver light shining between the fingers.
When he patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder just now, he took the opportunity to insert the poisonous silver needle into Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao smiled coldly, his dark eyes filled with a sinister aura.
"Brother Shen, since we entered this store, you have poisoned our group seven times, and you have used dozens of poisons. Isn't it inappropriate to continue like this?" Ling Xiao sneered.
road.
Jiang Qing and Qin Sa were shocked and hurriedly checked their internal breathing.
But the strange thing is that their breathing was stable and they didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Shen Wenxuan chuckled and spoke slowly.
"Heh, Brother Xiao is really sharp, he is much smarter than those two idiots."
"But what surprises me is that you helped them block all the poisons, but it really had no impact at all. Even if the body is invulnerable to all poisons, it shouldn't be able to detoxify so quickly. You really surprised me enough."
.”
The shock in Shen Wenxuan's heart was far less relaxed than his tone.
As a secret agent, their family does not often show up, and they are good at poisoning, disguise and concealment.
This is how their family settles down and lives.
When Ling Xiao and the other three stepped into this store, any object they subconsciously touched would be poisoned by themselves.
These highly toxic toxins can even blend in the body and evolve into new toxins.
Even if you are truly invulnerable to all poisons, after drinking your cup of tea, the remaining toxins in your body that have not been eliminated will completely explode, causing you to fall into a brief coma.
But he discovered that any toxin that entered Ling Xiao's body would disappear in a very strange way!
This also resulted in the poison team he carefully constructed becoming a complete decoration for Ling Xiao!
"Brother Shen, I don't like so many twists and turns. Tell me, what does Li Hantian want me to do in the Shen Zhuan Empire?" Ling Xiao said.
Hearing this, Shen Wenxuan was a little surprised, and for a moment, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, you are really interesting. I like you a little bit."
The words spoken by such an elegant person made Ling Xiao and the other two people feel chills running down their spines.
He naturally understood what Li Hantian and Gongsun Zhe meant.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no one who suddenly has a conscience and helps you for free.
The two of them definitely want to do something in the Shenzhuan Empire, but their power is limited and it is inconvenient to show up.
But his appearance turned out to be an unexpectedly useful chess piece.
He has a clean foundation, his parents disappeared when he was a boy, he values friendship, he has powerful enemies that are now invincible, and he needs capital to settle down.
These are the weaknesses that Ling Xiao now has to rely on their strength.
This time, the two of them went to such great lengths to help them, and they had already planned it.
Ling Xiao already knew this the moment he met Jiang Qing and Qin Sa.
Bringing people close to you can not only bind yourself but also comfort yourself.
Kindness and power are combined, and means and friendship are at the same time.
It's just that Jiang Qing and Qin Sa were unaware of Li Hantian's intentions.
Shen Wenxuan sat quietly in front of Ling Xiao leisurely, pouring tea by himself.
"The Ninth Prince's instruction is actually very simple, and it is also something you must do after coming here."
Shen Wenxuan said calmly.
"What is it?"
Ling Xiao was a little confused
"Create an economy that spreads throughout the Shenzhuan Empire and settle down!"
