How could Li Clan, who had an eighth-level soul fighting master, be exterminated so easily? From Li Yang, Li Si felt that there was a powerful force hidden behind Li Clan. And for the task Wan Xiu gave him, Li Si also felt that for the first time I feel confused. Such a task is as difficult as going to a nightclub to find a virgin.
To give up or not to give up. If I go back home now and ask Wanxiu to send me a few brothers who have less obvious animal transformation characteristics, maybe I can gain a little more confidence. Li Si's mind was working hard. Then he thought again. To break into the Li clan, you don't just need to have a few more powerful younger brothers. This Li Yang alone has the strength of an eighth-level soul fighter. Wan Xiu once said that one of the four guardian families is likely to have the true soul to enter the divine soul realm. Experts. Therefore, even top-level monsters like Wan Xiu do not dare to act rashly.
I'm sorry. You don't dare to come by yourself. Call me. You've eaten too much. Li Si is infinitely wronged. I think of Sophie and Zhuo Ai. I think of those comrades in the forbidden land of Warcraft who fought together through life and death to resist the alien monsters. They sighed, and then shook off the negative emotions. They clamped their legs on the horse's belly. The big white horse neighed, kicked off its four hooves, and galloped away.
Back at the base camp of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group, all the mercenaries looked at Li Si differently. Yes, a person who can defeat an eighth-level soul fighter, no matter what his level is, is enough to win. their respect.
Just when Li Si was still worried that he had failed to gain their trust, Li Yang and Li Tianfang came to see him early the next morning, saying that they wanted to invite Li Si to participate in a mercenary guild mission. Seeing them both arriving at the same time, Li Si felt very It is possible that they may begin to regard you as one of their own.
Li Tianfang closed the door and walked to stand behind Li Yang. Just this detail revealed that Li Yang's status was much higher than that of Li Tianfang. Li Si pretended to smile casually and said, "Why do you have to work for an alchemist like me?" The master personally takes action. Is the price offered by the mercenary guild high?"
Li Yang said sternly: "Li Si, from now on, you must never reveal your identity as an alchemist to the outside world. You know, alchemists are extremely rare resources whether in the Weight Empire or in any country on the mainland. I'm worried. There will be foreigners who have an interest in you. If they don't get your allegiance, they will definitely get rid of you. For your own safety, from now on, you are no longer an alchemist."
Li Si was convinced. He nodded and said, "It makes sense. I understand."
Li Yang added: "With this mission to Nuoyang, the capital, we need you to protect someone in Nuoyang. This mission is just a way. Let them protect you when you go to the capital. We have arranged everything. God I'll tell you the details on the way. Now, you can set off."
Li Siqi said: "Leave now."
Li Yang said: "Yes. Let's go now. We made arrangements last night." After a pause, Li Yang said again: "If you can complete this protection mission, I will personally introduce you to join our core."
Core... core. Li Si's heart was shaken. He felt that he was one step closer to the Kirin Soul Crystal.
…
When they went out, more than fifty mercenaries were already ready to go. Li Tianfang and Li Si got into a four-wheeled carriage similar to the ancient Roman period. The carriage was sealed and added steel plates to prevent attacks. Considering Li Si's popularity in Cayman, It would not have been possible if he didn't leave in such a secretive way. But he couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought of Baby Yao. He really just wiped his mouth and left after feeding. He was getting closer and closer to Cayman City. Li Si almost wanted to get out of the car and say goodbye to Baby Yao. But he finally held it back. Not long after he passed Cayman, Li Si's heart became increasingly empty. Suddenly, his heart surged. If you don't even have this responsibility as a human being, do you still deserve to be a human being? He shouted loudly: "Stop the car. I have something I must do."
Li Tianfang had long seen him frowning and sighing, but he didn't ask him. Seeing that he couldn't help it, he smiled and said, "Is it related to women?"
Li Si said in astonishment: "How do you know?"
Li Tianfang said: "I was young too."
The team stopped. Li Si asked Li Tianfang for pen and paper and asked him to write a letter on his behalf. After writing, Li Si handed the letter to Li Daguan and asked him to deliver it to Yao Baobao of the Changqing Gang to finish the matter. Li Si felt much more relaxed. Li Tianfang smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be a passionate seed. Even Yao Baobao, that invulnerable girl, was conquered by you. It won't work without persuasion."
Li Siqi said: "What does it mean to be invulnerable to water and fire?"
Li Tianfang said: "This girl thinks she is a soul fighter. She looks down on men. So she delayed marriage until she was twenty-six or seventeen years old. Moreover, she is very beautiful and graceful. I don't know how many men are coveted. But no one He can make her fall in love with him, so he is called invulnerable to fire and water."
Li Si felt secretly proud when he heard this. He said, "The rumors may be wrong. I think she is very passionate."
Li Tianfang laughed a few times and thought to himself: If I grew up like you, she would be equally passionate about me. It’s just that he was a lot older than Li Si. It would be a bit awkward to talk about women with someone of his son’s generation. The two chatted casually for a while, not much talking about women. After a while, Li Daguan returned quickly and said that he had personally handed the letter into Miss Yao's hands. Li Si thanked her repeatedly and asked a few questions. Li Tian gave the order and continued. Forward.
The official road came to an abrupt end after being built for more than ten miles. The road gradually became less stable. The four-wheeled carriage did not have the shock absorbers on modern cars. The bumps made Li Si frown and simply gave the car to Li Tianfang to go alone. Enjoy. He rides on his own horse.
The north and the south are indeed different. The south is mostly plains, with flat roads, convenient transportation, and relatively better economic conditions. The north is mostly rugged mountain roads, and the roads are not easy to walk. This also results in the comparison of local power in each city. An independent phenomenon. Li Si is someone who has traveled from south to north. Regarding the disaster of alien monsters, the north and south are completely different. Relatively speaking, the south is like hell. There are corpses everywhere. Many cities are dead. Or flee and become an empty city. A smooth and convenient geographical location is not necessarily a good thing. Although the economy in the north of the Weight Empire is generally poor, at least there is no sky rail here. People still live as before. As for the alien monsters They were all blocked from the Great Chu Pass. It seemed as if it was still far away from them. The south seemed not to exist to them.
Mercenaries are a very common occupation in the Weight and Soul Continent. Their small mercenary group cannot attract more people's attention. Although the north has not been affected by the disaster of alien monsters, the food is still Nervous. Most of the topics they heard were complaints. Vegetables and grains have become rare items. Alcohol has become contraband. Even meat has begun to be in limited supply. Many people have uneven nutrition. They lack fruits, vegetables, rice and cereals. They only eat meat. The people who eat are bloated, and even their temperaments show signs of moving closer to carnivores. Along the way, the further you go to the southeast, the more tense the local situation and food supply become. Soldiers are transported to various checkpoints in an organized manner. It can be seen that the situation is not good.
The trip was finally coming to an end. On this day, when they were about to arrive at Shihuguan, they had to be delayed because the army blocked the road.
There are people everywhere on the roadside. It is said that the road has been closed for two days. Among these people, there are either mercenary groups or business groups. People and vehicles have occupied the originally open area.
They found a place to rest far away from Shihu Pass. After dinner, Li Tianfang invited Li Si onto the carriage and told him the main mission of the trip.
Li Si's name was changed. It was changed to Qisi. Li Tianfang did not explain this surname. But Li Si guessed that it might be because of the homophony of Qilin, because Li Tianfang also changed it to Qi Tianfang. Later, Li Tianfang told him this This mission actually required him to protect Nuoyang Deputy Minister of Defense Qi Zu and his family. And Li Si was pretending to be the nephew of Minister Qi Zuqi.
Li Tianfang revealed a few things. This Qi Zu once risked his life to advocate for the Li clan. Since he was the Minister of Defense at the time, he held a high position and his words were quite weighty. Emperor Jincheng Wen had to consider it. Later, Qi Zu Under the influence of Qi Zu, Yuwen Clan and Tang Clan also joined the ranks of remonstrances. It was precisely because of Qi Zu’s righteous speech that Jincheng Wen gave up the action of annihilating the entire Li Clan. Later, with the arrival of the Tiangui Era, Li Clan’s affairs were slowly Diverting his attention, Emperor Jincheng Wen found an excuse to pull Qi Zu from the minister's position. Although he was still the deputy minister, he had been emptied of power. The people in the Li clan knew that Jincheng Wen had murderous intentions for Qi Zu and decided. He sent someone to protect him secretly. Li Yang originally had other plans. But after seeing how powerful Li Si was, he decided to replace the original manpower with Li Si.
Qisi. This name seems to have something to do with it. Qisi was so angry. Li Si smiled and said: "It would be better for you to use me, a master of alchemy, as a bodyguard. I'm afraid I will be the most valuable bodyguard in the world."
Li Tianfang's eyes widened and he said, "What did you say?"
Li Si suddenly said, "Oh, I understand. I don't want to reveal my identity as an alchemist. I know. Then, how long will I have to protect Qi Zu before I have completed my mission?"
Li Tianfang said: "I don't know about that. It depends on the arrangements from above. Li Si, this mission is very important. It was personally assigned by the above. You must not put Li Yang in trouble with me."
Li Si nodded and said: "Okay. I will do my best. How will I contact you then."
Li Tianfang said: "When we need to contact you, we will look for you. From now on, you are the distant nephew of Minister Qi Zuqi. You must remember that you are from the southern city of Milan, Qi family, Qi Si."
While they were talking, footsteps were heard outside the carriage. Li Daguan's voice came from outside: "They are coming."
Li Tianfang responded and urged Li Si to get out of the car. As soon as Li Si came down, Li Daguan and several mercenaries sandwiched him in the middle. They walked in the opposite direction of Shihuguan. After less than half a mile, a carriage came slowly. Coming. Li Daguan said softly: "Master, get ready to get in that car."
Damn it. Why did he look like an underground worker in the era of white terror? The carriage slowly drove to a stop in front of them. Li Daguan took out a piece of paper and handed it over. The carriage driver also took out a piece of paper. Two pieces of paper that looked like ghostly drawings were connected together. The coachman nodded. He glanced at Li Si silently. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Qisi, please get in the car."
