The festive atmosphere of the founding of the sect has not faded at all. Even on this "Kong'er Old Street", there are still many celebration decorations hanging everywhere. Although it has experienced a lot of wind and rain, most of them have not faded.
, at least the flags in front of the "Jingwen Pavilion" are still bright and bright.
Qiu Zhenzhen leaned in front of the door that was about to close. She couldn't help but secretly think that the few spiritual stones she spent on buying flags and banners were indeed worth it. At the same time, she was also observing the passers-by intentionally or unintentionally, wondering about their
Origin, occupation, family background, marital status, mood at the moment, the purpose of this place, where to spend the night tonight, this is one of the spy training skills she recently learned. Only spies who are good at observation and thinking can collect more information.
What useful information.
Unfortunately, she has gained nothing recently. After all, she only does this kind of exercise for half an hour every day.
Today is the day when the mother-in-law is counted as usual. This is the agreement between her and Zheng Yiyu. Every once in a while, she will appear near a store agreed upon by both parties to show that she is still here and to prove that she is safe. This store is closely related to the Qianshan Sect.
There is no connection at all, so Wuyu is worried that someone will follow the clues and find his upline.
Qiu Zhenzhen walked around the store and gave a few words, then walked out of the not-so-wide alleyway alone. When passing by "Xiangtanju", he took a look and heard that his boss Zhou Daxiang reported that the owner of this store also
The person she has confirmed to be "Wan Qing" has not appeared for three days. She doesn't know where he has gone. However, this is none of her business. Zheng Yiyu has already told her through someone else that the information she has collected is confirmed to be true. Correspondence
Mengong has been recorded.
I just don’t know what to change, and I don’t know what the head of the buckle has put in the treasury recently. I am alone outside. When I return to Qianshan Sect, maybe all the good things have been picked away.
, let alone whether his son Si Tian is thinking about himself. His heartless adoptive father, that is, the smelly boss, I heard that he has not returned to Luochuan for a long time. Is he wandering outside with grass on his grave?
ruler?
However, I heard that he was newly married to a spiritual-level monk named Su Jin, the daughter of Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng Sect. So, he should be still living happily somewhere. I don’t know if Su Jin is beautiful, but I heard that he is a bit tall.
Humph, I just have a good father. Isn't it true that he has resigned from office now and has become the leader of the alliance? He can still run around for a few days. In terms of capital, can he compare with me? Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at the corner of the street.
After pausing for a moment, he lowered his head and glanced at his chest, which was tightly bound by the inner wrapping cloth. He thought to himself that this piece of shit was really suffocating and uncomfortable. He had to think of a way to disguise himself later so that he wouldn't have to use this kind of thing that was detrimental to his figure.
Something.
Qiu Zhenzhen pretended to pass by the agreed store. At this time, according to the old practice, there should still be a few clerks guarding the store that operates all day. However, it looks a little special today. In front of the store
, several store clerks were extremely unorganized, and even more than a dozen boxes of goods had not been sorted out.
"What, the business is no longer done?" Qiu Zhenzhen pretended to be interested and asked a young ordinary waiter who was lazily leaning on the counter doing nothing.
"Oh, aunt, business is as usual, what do you want to buy?" The young man saw that it was an old lady with a thick bucket who asked, and he just raised his head.
You are the aunt!
I am very young!
Qiu Zhenzhen quickly added a few words in his mind, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he continued to ask enthusiastically, "Just take a look, why are you not busy today?"
"Oh!" The young man just said "Oh" with a hint of sadness on his face. Qiu Zhenzhen, who had been practicing observing words and expressions recently, immediately caught something unusual and asked in a low voice, "Where is your shopkeeper?" She had already discovered that on weekdays,
The fat old man who has been settling accounts in the back room is indeed not here.
"Our shopkeeper is out on business."
The clerk forced a smile, but it still couldn't escape Qiu Zhenzhen's eyes. She immediately realized that something must have happened to the shopkeeper here. Maybe he had offended some upstart, but when it comes to upstarts, in Lelin City, there are also
There are no new rich people to talk about. Apart from the city lord Leng Tingtao who became the head of the Lelin Sect, there are only a few new elders who defected from the south. Is it possible that this shop owner has offended one of them?
wrong!
It is impossible for this store to be able to establish itself in such a crowded place during the day and full of business opportunities without any background. The person who can take the owner away must not be an ordinary person. In addition, what can he commit?
But things can't just be taken at face value. Could it be that he, like himself, is also a spy sent by a certain sect?
Putting it this way, is it possible that after the establishment of Lelin Clan, there will be a big cleanup?
Think about it, just like a new house must be carefully cleaned, maybe the new head and his new staff are anxious to set off some fierce fires to show their majesty and value.
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhenzhen suddenly felt afraid, so she stopped asking any more questions, just clicked on a few things to check, pretended not to be satisfied, and continued to move forward. According to the old practice, she would stop briefly at the street corner in front until
If a person dressed as a sloppy scholar passes by, he can leave. The scholar is the contact person, but the two of them do not pass on any information here.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the scholar didn't show up. Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't help but couldn't stand. She couldn't have nothing to do. She lingered here for too long, so she entered another monk's supplies room.
I casually looked around the store and made a brief inquiry but made no move. I kept glancing at the street from the corner of my eye, but still found no trace of the contact person.
Something big happened!
Qiu Zhenzhen immediately had a realization, his heartbeat could not help but accelerate suddenly, and several thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind. Whether to run or return to "Jingwen Pavilion" safely, he had to make a quick decision. It was getting late, and he had to stay.
On the street, it attracted more attention. She left the shop and walked in the opposite direction of "Jingwen Pavilion".
After traveling for two or three miles, she sensed that more than one person was following her, so she speeded up her pace invisibly. There was a dagger in her sleeve, and spiritual power was slowly injected into it to make it sharper. At the same time, she observed the nearby house.
She left the house and looked for a place where she could hurriedly escape. However, the moon was rising at this time, and everything along the way was dim. There were only a few scattered businesses that were still open, so she quickened her pace again, remembering
Yes, there is a large magic weapon shop near the old Zhong family house in front. I heard that it is the property of Li Zong, so I guess the other party will not do anything there.
Just as he was thinking about it, a big man in blue robes suddenly stood across the alley. Qiu Zhenzhen stopped and looked behind him. They were two strangers. On the nearby house, three strangers flew out of nowhere.
Tao figures and a glimpse of their cultivation are at least at the Xuan level.
this……
Qiu Zhenzhen, who was not good at fighting, suddenly felt that there was nothing he could do. It was really difficult to escape safely from this situation.
"Mrs. Qiu, please move to the head's inner palace for a brief chat." The big man took a few steps forward, his voice was like a bell, but he said something that suddenly shocked Qiu Zhenzhen.
He actually knows my identity?
It seemed that the sloppy scholar had been arrested. Qiu Zhenzhen immediately realized that the other party had no intention of killing him on the spot. Could it be that he had another purpose?
Mrs. Qiu? Could it be that she was targeting Jiang Feng? But these thoughts are not important. If she wants to survive now, she can only obey. She just feels a little regretful in her heart, secretly thinking that if she could find clues near that shop as soon as possible, now she
I'm afraid I'm in that Li Zong's shop, maybe I can escape this disaster.
It was useless to say anything. The other party's strength crushed him, so Qiu Zhenzhen wisely put away the dagger in his sleeve secretly.
"Lead the way!"
Maybe the final result was not so tragic. Qiu Zhenzhen, who was pretending to be calm, understood in his heart that since he was captured, the other party would probably ask Jiang Feng for something in exchange. However, they didn't know that she was a wife in name only.
She had no real friendship with Jiang Feng, so would she be abandoned by Jiang Feng because of this? Thinking of this and her son Sitian who was far away in Luochuan, the fear in her heart became even stronger.
…………
"The messenger of the Qianshan Sect was arrested."
Ningtacheng, Zhongfu, Zhu Yuan, who looked tired, entered the inner house and immediately reported to Zhong Shanhui, "Moreover, the messenger seems to be Jiang Feng's wife, named Qiu Zhenzhen."
"Madam?" Zhong Shan looked in disbelief, "Let madam come over personally to do the work of a spy?"
"At least that's the news I got." Zhu Yuan drank the cold tea on the table without caring about his superiors and subordinates. "It is said that many people were arrested today, including spies from Chixia Sect and Biyun Sect.
They were also arrested."
"What is Leng Tingtao doing? Do you really think of yourself as the leader?" Zhong Shan couldn't sit still, stood up and walked around the hall, "You said this..."
"Qiu Zhenzhen." Zhu Yuan knew what he was talking about and added in time.
"Yes, this is Mrs. Qiu. At what point did she expose herself?"
"This..." Zhu Yuan was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a while. "Since she is working as a spy here, there must be many opportunities for her to be exposed. I have always sent people to follow her. In addition to contacting us, other
But no obvious traces were found.”
"It's broken!" Zhong Shan suddenly turned around and rubbed his hands in front of him. He stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger at Zhu Yuan. He wanted to say something, but for a while he didn't seem to find the most suitable wording until Zhu Yuan
She also looked at him with a surprised look on her face before he gathered his thoughts and said, "Zhu Yuan, when you came here, did you prevent yourself from being followed?"
"Prevent following?" Zhu Yuan looked puzzled, "You are the head of my family. When I see you, do I need to guard against others?"
"No, we usually don't need it, but now we need it." Zhong Shan's eyes were reserved, "How is the cultivation of the person you sent to follow Qiu Zhenzhen?"
"Ordinary."
"Where is the person who captured Qiu Zhenzhen?"
"Four Xuan level, two foundation building."
"That's right. Is it possible that the spies you sent out can hide from their eyes and ears?"
"That's not possible, but is there any connection?" Zhu Yuan couldn't help but ask, but he immediately realized something, "You mean, they still want to see who this mortal spy is pointing to?
"
"You finally figured it out." Zhong Shan let out a long breath, "Although it can be explained as accidental, the fact that we have contact with the Qianshan Sect has probably been exposed."
"So what?" Zhu Yuandao said, "Leng Tingtao is your brother-in-law. Is it possible that when the sect was first established, he would destroy the family for justice? What's more, it's just some evidence and it can't count. We and Jiang Feng don't even know each other.
Not seen."
"That was in the past. Before, Su Liqing was the leader. If Leng Tingtao wanted to deal with me, he still had to consider Su Liqing's reaction. But now Su Liqing is just the leader, and I, and Ningta City, belong to Lelin Sect.
Naturally, he will not let me go and guard the west gate leading to his sect. At least, he will use this excuse to transfer me to his side."
"At least there won't be any danger. Ningta City is not considered rich. If the trees are removed and the people are removed, there may be another world." Zhu Yuan has always had a bad impression of Ningta City. In his opinion, this place
There is no spiritual land, and the terrain is not flat. There are only a few spiritual springs, but there are not many spiritual valleys to plant, and there are not many ordinary people that can support them. The potential for future development is limited.
"Can Leng Tingtao be so kind?"
Zhong Shan finally calmed down the initial panic and fear in his mind and thought about the possible changes. "Although Ningta City is a little barren, it is adjacent to the Qianshan Sect, which makes it easy to bring in foreign aid. In time, if we
If the avenue can be further advanced, it may be possible to use this as a foundation to rebuild Yanqiling, but once Leng Tingtao's people are around, this hope will be completely shattered."
"Moreover," he looked at his confidant Zhu Yuan, "my sister Zhong Yun is already pregnant. Once a boy is born, my importance will be even less than it is now. Where I will die by then is still unknown."
"Is it so serious?" Zhu Yuan wondered, "Even if we are willing to stay under the roof, is it possible that there is still no life left? Is Leng Tingtao going to kill them all?"
"Zhu Yuan, you have followed me for many years, but you still don't understand me." Zhong Shan patted Zhu Yuan's shoulder, "You don't understand Leng Tingtao either. Unlike Su Liqing, it's useless to keep a low profile in front of him, so we pretended
The old trick of being poor and often showing a lack of materials is completely useless. He could not do anything at all, but some people, in order to cater to him, say
Maybe they will come up with some evil ideas to deal with me. I have decided to leave tonight."
"Where to go?"
"Go west and take the Qianshan Sect road to the Qing Yu Sect. I heard that it is the right time to employ people there, so it is convenient for me to pursue the avenue. After everything is successful, I will come back here to find a way to restore Yanqiling."
"Master, I'll go with you!"
"No, Zhu Yuan, you have to stay. The industry here needs people to manage it. After I have the strength to restore the sect, I will also need financial support. After I leave, you can go and join my sister Zhong Yun.
, I’m sure Leng Tingtao won’t embarrass you.”
"This..." Zhu Yuan hesitated. Before he could refute, a palace guard came over to report that there was an oral order from the master. Both of them looked shocked and quickly ordered to greet the envoy, but the person who came was
A personal guard under his younger sister Zhong Yun.
"The headmaster's message is that Mrs. Zhong has been ill recently. I hope City Lord Zhong will bring his family members to visit her."
"Really?"
"Yes. The day before yesterday, when we were boating on the East Lake, the night wind was very strong." The guard's face was sincere. Zhong Shan also recognized him and knew that he would not lie. However, his sister is a monk and is not so easy to get sick.
, not to mention that there must be monks who can heal in the head's mansion, so it might not be a good thing to invite him here in such a hurry.
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning."
Zhong Shan thought for a moment, dismissed the guards and arranged carefully, then turned around and said to Zhu Yuan, "I will set off overnight. Arrange four carriages to go out together and go in different directions."
"What about you?"
Zhu Yuan thought for a while, then took out all his belongings and handed them to Zhong Shan. In fact, when Yanqiling was destroyed, the two of them took a lot of things. In order to show their loyalty, they also plundered a lot of money during the process of annihilating their relatives.
Just for safety, he has always kept a low profile. Even Zhong Shan's biological sister Zhong Yun doesn't know this.
"I left through the back door disguised as a servant and went to the Qianshan Sect. When everything settles down, I will find a way to contact you."
…………
In an inn outside the City Lord's Mansion in Ningta City, in a room on the second floor that had just turned off the lights, a hole was suddenly poked in the paper window, and a black eye turned straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.
's courtyard.
This city lord is quite particular!
The wind chime seemed to be a magic weapon. Although it was a little broken, the stone carvings in the courtyard were also old. He secretly admired it.
This person staring outside is none other than Wu Laizi Wu Tiande who has traveled here. Since he left Luochuan, he has been traveling in the east and south, traveling all over the hometown of Heishui Gate, the northern border fortress of Wei State, and the western part of the Jincheng Sect.
, he knew that his cultivation was still shallow and had not reached the Xuan level, so he did not dare to go too far. However, this kind of life of wandering around was what he liked in his heart.
This was also his first time to take a close look at the city lord's palace of the Jincheng Sect. To say that Ningta City was not too big and had few products, he originally just passed through here and wanted to return to Tuqiao Town, and then returned to Luo
After all, Chuan, after all, has not been around for a long time. Whether it is his old man Wu Quanzhong or his nominal master Wei Ruoguang, they will "fix themselves" and give them some face when necessary.
It's a pity. Although observed from a close distance, the weather of the city lord's palace is still much worse than that of the city of Wei. However, it is now the territory of Qing Yu Sect and Tianyin Temple. Thinking about this, Wu Tiande
It was a bit regretful that he originally wanted to sneak into the Qing Yu Sect's sect establishment ceremony, but unfortunately he could not do so.
…………
The hometown of Wei State, Yuzong of Qing Dynasty, Zhuqiao City.
Xiushui City Lord Wu Xuan remembered that this was his fifth time here, but the first four times were due to the sect's establishment ceremony and various red tapes. Today's trip is the first time because of sect affairs.
"I've met the leader!"
After sorting out the cyan sect robe that was newly made at his own expense, Wu Xuan entered the slightly empty inner palace of the headmaster. Wu Xuan soon met the headmaster Wan Yuting. It is said that his cultivation level has reached the pseudo-heaven level, which is quite high.
In the Nascent Soul realm of the human race, Wu Xuan felt a strong sense of pressure when he was more than ten feet away.
It's so terrifying!
Accompanying the leader is Chen Kun, the elder of the inner sect. Compared with the last time I saw him, Chen Kun's cultivation level has improved again. It seems that he has reached the state of foundation building perfection. However, he has made rapid progress, making the road difficult.
Wu Xuan admired him deeply.
The remaining people are the newly appointed law enforcement elder Liu Daoran, the original city lord of Leiyun City, who has an early stage of Jindan cultivation. Wu Xuan recognizes him, but they have no friendship with him; the outer sect elder Bai Xin, who has a middle stage of foundation building cultivation and the original Beigui City
The city lord of Loubin City was also the one who persuaded him to submit to Wan Yuting; as well as the newly-appointed general elder Xu Huaiwu, who had perfected his foundation and cultivation.
After being presented to Tianluomen, Loubin City became the main port for the Qing Yu Sect to transport materials to Tianyuan Nanlu. Therefore, he was "suggested" to step down as the city lord, and at the same time he also had a better position within the sect.
Location.
"Very good, I have called you here today to reward you based on your merits!"
Chen Kun, the elder of the inner sect who was standing at the top, was heard saying that although the law enforcement elder is theoretically the most respected among the elders, Wu Xuan and everyone else here knew that Chen Kun was a confidant who had been following the leader Wan Yuting.
, his status is so transcendent that everyone calls him the "Second Leader" in private.
"I don't dare!" Wu Xuan said humbly and politely. Like more than a dozen former Wei city lords, he was a person with "the merit of supporting the establishment".
"This elixir is given to you to help you advance to a higher realm of foundation building. If you make more achievements in the future, you will be given a higher-level elixir." Before he finished speaking, a black elixir appeared.
Then he took the pill and flew to Wu Xuan.
Is this coming?
Wu Xuan suddenly felt fear in his heart. He heard that the leader had planted "inner demon seeds" for many people. This was probably a similar thing disguised as an elixir. Recently, he heard in private that the lord of Wuliang City had eaten one.
Although the elixir given by the headmaster has made some progress, he died of an explosion in the night because of a secret meeting with a city lord from Tianyin Temple. Could it be that this is what he took?
Little bits of cold sweat invisibly formed into streams and flowed down his neck. Wu Xuan suddenly felt that the [Ling Ling.] custom-made at his own expense was a little too close-fitting.
