Two hours later, Zhou Hanbei arrived at the ancient city of Lamo. The traces of time could be seen on the adobe bricks that had been weathered by the wind and sand.
The ancient city of Lamo also has a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is considered a large city in the wilderness. You can see the people coming and going on the streets, the cries of various merchants and the counter-offerings of local residents.
After more than a month, I finally saw a human city. The experience during this period was also thrilling.
"Hey, I miscalculated. Let's ask someone first."
Standing in front of the inn, Zhou Hanbei wanted to get a room and go out to find out the news, but found that he had no money, so he had to find someone to ask for information first. There should be Jingu Tower in a city of this size. Let's go out and take a look.
Take a look and then talk.
Zhou Hanbei, wrapped in an animal skin coat, unexpectedly dressed up similarly to the local residents, but was much simpler.
"Boss, may I ask how to get to Jingu Building?"
Arriving at a small stall, Zhou Hanbei asked.
"No, do you see the tallest building? It's nearby."
I looked in the direction pointed by the boss, thanked him and walked there. After a while, I saw the Jingu Building next to the City Lord's Mansion. Fortunately, I didn't lose the identity tokens before, and I still had them all on me.
With.
"Welcome to Jingu Building, what do you need, our distinguished guest?"
“Find a quiet room!”
The decoration style of the entire Jingu Building is similar. After Zhou Hanbei came in, he didn't say much. He took out the token and handed it to the waiter. He stretched out his hand and made a shushing gesture, indicating that he should keep quiet, and waited for the waiter's arrangement.
Seeing the highest-level token, the man dared not speak out. He hurriedly took Zhou Hanbei into a room and asked Zhou Hanbei to take a rest. This was not something he could decide. He quickly found someone who could.
.
"Thump thump thump..." A burst of hurried footsteps came, and a woman was seen pushing open the door and entering.
"I don't know that when distinguished guests come to our door, they are greeted from afar."
"It doesn't matter, I wonder what I call this steward?"
"Li Yu, is responsible for affairs in Lamo City."
After Li Yu finished speaking, she looked at the people in front of her. News came from other branches some time ago that a young man got a token from Hou San. It should be this person. But with good professionalism, she
I didn’t ask too much, after all, Jin Gu Lou’s style is not to inquire too much about guests’ privacy.
At the same time, Zhou Hanbei was also observing Manager Li. He didn't expect that she was a woman. Judging from the way she just came in, she was definitely a very capable person. She did things simply and straightforwardly, but her appearance was a bit mediocre. This kind of
People are best suited to this line of work and are not easily remembered.
"There are three things. First, help me find a person named Li Xinlan! Second, I want information on Bixue Hantan! Third, I forgot to bring money when I came out and I need some money!"
Looking at Li Yu's eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood him. Whoever could take out this token would be short of money? He quickly said, "Don't worry, I will pay you back. It doesn't need to be too much. It's enough to live here for a while."
"No, I can give this to you privately. You don't have to pay it back." Li Yu said with a smile, "Do you have any other requirements?"
"Well, can you give me an answer in one day? And has anything happened in the whole wilderness recently?"
Zhou Hanbei asked again after thinking about it, it would be best to get as much information as possible.
"Your name is Zhou Hanbei, right? The first message you want to make and the question you just asked should be counted together, right?"
It is not difficult to guess that Jin Gulou, as an intelligence dealer in the mainland, connected the previous news, and there was news from Dahan a few months ago asking about Li Xinlan, and Zhou Hanbei wanted to confirm Li Xinlan through what happened here
Whether you are here or not, based on the above information, it is not surprising that Li Yu knows this.
"It's me. Give me what you just said in one day. Is that okay?"
"No problem, where do you live? I'll arrange for someone to send you here."
"Uh... I don't know yet."
Seeing Zhou Hanbei's embarrassment, Li Yu didn't know the reason yet, so he immediately said that he would arrange for someone to take him to an inn to stay. He nodded in agreement and set off to follow the people arranged by Li Yu to the designated inn.
"Mr. Zhou, if you need anything, you can tell the boss. We have made arrangements. And our manager Li will send the news tomorrow. Please wait patiently, Mr. Zhou."
"Okay, trouble!"
The service staff at Jingulou arranged everything properly, quietly put down some money, and then left. Zhou Hanbei raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Their handling style was really soothing and did not embarrass the guests at all.
After going through a lot of hardships during this period, I didn't even wash up properly. After everything was rested, it was evening. I don't think about Li Xinlan for the time being, just wait for the news tomorrow.
"How can I stimulate it? It really gives me a headache?"
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhou Hanbei was thinking about how to release the black flame. He tried all methods to activate it. Could it be that it had to appear at a critical moment of life and death to save his life?
At present, it seems that I still don't know enough about this secret, and I still can't fully grasp the power of blood. Looking back at the black flame at that time, it also has a cold feeling, which can freeze people's souls and destroy them.
This kind of freezing is completely different from freezing. It is a cold and cold feeling, which is a bit similar to a psychological effect. It is hard to describe the feeling. However, it can turn people into ashes silently.
"Forget it, wait until this matter is over and then explore slowly."
Immediately, he closed his eyes and began to practice, running the Great Freedom Heart Sutra, and the refined spiritual energy began to be stored in the five internal organs, transformed into spiritual energy with corresponding attributes, and was repeatedly tempered, washing the heart.
The heart belongs to fire, so it will be converted into fire-attributed spiritual energy to increase the strength of the heart. As Zhou Hanbei practiced one night, the time came to the next day. After taking his last breath, Zhou Hanbei opened his eyes and felt the strength of his cultivation.
There is some improvement.
The strength of all parts of the body has been greatly improved. If he faced Feng Yuan in his current state, he would not be so embarrassed, at least he would not win a miserable victory and suffer such serious injuries.
"Go downstairs to have something to eat..."
Seeing that it was still early, I didn’t know how long it would take for people to come to Jingu Building, so I might as well go and eat something first. Not long after the food was served, and after taking two bites, Li Yu appeared in front of Zhou Hanbei.
"Wait for me, it will be soon."
"No rush, just eat slowly!"
Li Yu watched him eating with a smile. Zhou Hanbei couldn't bear to eat while others were watching him. He felt uncomfortable all over, so he simply stopped eating and led Li Yu back to the room.
"This is the news you want, take your time and read it."
Li Yu didn't care. He sat down and drank a cup of tea carefully without saying anything. He waited for Zhou Hanbei to see for himself. He was always waiting to answer questions that Zhou Hanbei didn't understand. He took the information and Zhou Hanbei looked at it.
Got up.
"On a certain day of a certain month, Li Xinlan was wandering near the General's Mansion in Xifeng City..."
"On a certain day of a certain month, Li Xinlan disguised herself and sneaked into the wilderness and lost her trace..."
"On a certain day of a certain month, a soldier in Wuqi City died tragically in a brothel. He had no obvious symptoms. It was discovered that someone suspected of being Li Xinlan appeared before and then disappeared."
"On a certain day of a certain month, the third soldier died tragically at home again. He had no obvious symptoms, but no attention was paid to him."
"On a certain day of a certain month, two more soldiers collapsed on the way back to the military camp. Tuoba Hong ordered a strict investigation..."
"To sum up, the people who were killed were all those who had participated in the Battle of Xifeng City. They suspected that Dayan's gang members were secretly seeking revenge. Later, Tuobahong designed a layout and used himself as bait to lure out the killer. After seriously injuring the killer, he escaped and was hidden.
His whereabouts have not been found so far.”
The last message was from a week ago. There is no doubt that it must be Xinlan. Only people who have been infected by the poison will not have any symptoms. In the end, they were severely injured. I wonder how Xinlan is doing now.
"Xinlan...what happened to her in the end?"
Zhou Hanbei's breathing became more rapid, obviously he was very worried about her.
"Isn't it written in the message? Don't you know!"
"Well... I just want to make sure. It's a good thing that she wasn't caught. Is there still no trace of her whereabouts in the end?"
"No, there is no way to investigate. It is estimated that she will be assassinated after she recovers."
Zhou Hanbei held his forehead, feeling anxious and crazy, Xinlan, please don't act recklessly, and asked some things about Tuoba Hong. It turned out that after the war, Xifeng City was in a state of collapse. Without the war, Tuoba Hong
Ba Hong led his soldiers back to Wuqi City to take charge of the imperial guards.
Before Xinlan fully recovers, she will not act rashly, but if someone can plan her once, they can also plan and design her a second time. Moreover, the defense force around her is definitely stronger. Now that Tuoba Hong has reached the realm of life and death, it will not be so easy to kill him.
"How far has Tuoba Hong found out now? Do you know who assassinated him?"
"We don't know yet, but we guess it has something to do with Dayan."
"Dong...dong..."
Zhou Hanbei knocked on the table and began to deduce how to operate this matter. He had to find Xinlan first, but how could he find her if she didn't take the initiative? In this case, let Xinlan know that I was coming, and she would take the initiative.
Appear.
"As soon as you are here, Tuoba Hong will know who wants to kill him, and your identity will be revealed as soon as he is checked. And Li Xinlan doesn't know how far Tuoba Hong has gone in the investigation. In case she thinks that Tuoba Hong is using
I’m fishing with your name! It won’t appear!”
Li Yu was analyzing Zhou Hanbei on the side. She also wondered how Zhou Hanbei got strong support from Hou San and was so optimistic about the young man in front of her. She didn't know that Hou San had never checked Zhou Hanbei at all, but she thought he was
They are people from the hidden sect.
"I've thought of what you said. I didn't intend to use Zhou Hanbei's identity to let Xinlan come out. Another thing you're wrong about is that Xinlan will definitely come out using Zhou Hanbei's identity."
Zhou Hanbei did not explain the rest, because only Xinlan and the others knew that Zhou Hanbei was "dead" and no one else knew. During this time in the Han Dynasty, it was not so easy to get news about Zhou Hanbei.
Yes, even if there is only a little bit of news, even if it is false, she will come out to confirm it at all costs.
"Then this..."
"Can it be done?"
"It can be done..."
Zhou Hanbei whispered to Li Yu, looking at her surprised look, he nodded firmly...
