Chapter 10: Follow Secretly, Master of the Ma Family
No wonder he dared to sneak into Beihai Customs alone. If Li Xiu targeted such a person, it would be difficult for him not to be discovered.
Li Xiu followed me from a distance. On the way, I entered three different stores, disguised in different appearances. Li Xiu felt that the other party was too cautious. To be cautious, Li Xiu also changed twice and changed two sets of clothes.
Finally, I walked to the courtyard of a village. This village is located in a remote area in the west of the city. Its appearance is not much different from the surrounding houses. The low eaves and high walls of blue bricks block the passage of pedestrians.
From the line of sight, we can only see the roofs inside. If we want to talk about some differences, it is that the fence is relatively new, and the red paint on the door was obviously just painted not long ago, and it was obviously renovated and decorated recently.
Wu Shi knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened a crack, and a head popped out from inside. The two exchanged a few words, as if they were exchanging secret signals, and then the man invited Wu Shi in. From then on, Wu Shi
Never came out again.
Li Xiu was very patient and was not in a hurry to inquire.
Originally, Li Xiu suspected that Wu Xie had roots in Bu Le Country. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to kill all the Jiang family in Baima Lake overnight with his own efforts. There must be internal response, so Li Xiu asked Li Ruocheng to go to Baima.
The county inquired, and there must be something fishy in that place. After all, if you do something bad in this world, there is no completely airtight wall.
What is the purpose of Wu Shi sneaking into Beihaiguan alone this time? Is it for official matters or private matters? If it is for official matters, it must be related to the upcoming siege battle, and he should be sabotaging it. If it is a private matter, it may not be the case. Li Xiu
Not wanting to give up this line easily, even Yu Wanhe put it aside for the time being. If he hadn't discovered Wu Kill, the first person Li Xiu would have looked for was of course Yu Wanhe, because Yu Wanhe had the Three Corpses Art in his body.
trace.
Who does I want to see here? He is so careful and cautious, and the planning is definitely not small, otherwise it would not be in line with his status.
What Li Xiu changed this time was an old man. At this time, he suddenly saw another old man passing by carrying a basket. Li Xiu's heart moved. This old man was not a simple man. He was definitely not an ordinary person. Li Xiu couldn't see it either.
After thinking about it, I thought that the Beihai Pass was indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. However, it was definitely not an accident that this person "passed" here. Could it be the same as his purpose?
Li Xiu has never been a passive person. Just as he was about to walk up, the old man carrying the basket actually noticed Li Xiu and walked straight over. He looked like an old farmer who had finished his work after a day's work.
When I came back, I couldn't straighten my back, it was quite difficult to walk, and my face looked tired.
"How is business going, brother?" Li Xiu took the initiative to strike up a conversation and asked with a smile.
The old farmer said in a deep voice: "You are such an uneducated young man. At my age, I am not old enough to be your ancestor. Why don't you call your ancestors your brothers?"
"Huh?" The smile on Li Xiu's face became brighter and brighter. Looking at this situation, he was actually exposed. This person's cultivation level is definitely not inferior to mine, and he wants to force me to kill him. Li Xiu said: "Friend
, what you said is wrong. In my generation, those who have mastered cultivation are the first. Although I am younger, calling you brother can be regarded as giving you enough face."
The old farmer said: "From your tone, are you trying to spar with a worthless old man like me?"
Li Xiudao: "It's unnecessary to make gestures. Victory and defeat with one sword and one sword is the routine of ordinary people. You can see through my flaws just because I play the wrong role. If I play a young man, I'm afraid you may not be able to."
see through."
Regarding this point, the old farmer actually did not deny it and said: "You don't want to take action. It seems that you want to discuss the truth with me."
Li Xiudao: "I would like to ask for advice when I have the opportunity, but now is not the right time. You don't have to guess where I am from. You can't see me, but I can see you, haha!" After Li Xiu finished speaking, he stopped lingering.
, turned around and left.
After Li Xiu left, the old farmer's eyes suddenly condensed. He saw a word left on the ground at some point. It was obviously left by Li Xiu just unknowingly. It turned out to be the word "horse".
The old farmer erased that word, continued to carry his basket, and moved forward slowly. After a while, he stopped under an old tree. He seemed to be tired from walking, so he sat on the ground and smoked a dry pipe.
"Old man, your star fruits are not fresh anymore. Can you make them cheaper? I'll buy three kilograms." Occasionally, passers-by came forward to buy the remaining fruits in the old farmer's basket.
"Well, a catty is sold for fifteen coppers elsewhere. Seeing that you can talk, I sold you three catties for forty coppers!" The old farmer has already brought himself into the role, not in appearance, but in him.
He has reached the point where he is an old farmer himself.
The old farmer was about to get the scale, but he found that the smile of the young man in front of him seemed to be quite joking. The old farmer's face sank and said: "Young man, you do your thing, I'll do my job, well water
If you don't want to offend me, if you want to make trouble with me, how about we make an appointment to have a fight outside the city at 3:30 tomorrow?"
"Old man, are you talking to me? What a fight, I'm here to buy star fruit." The buyer looked puzzled.
"Since you know my origin, you must be aware of current affairs!" The old farmer said this, took a puff of dry smoke, opened his mouth and spit out a column of smoke, which turned into a sharp sword and went straight to the buyer's face.
The buyer trembled, a breath mask appeared, and turned into a disk. The smoke pillar and sharp sword were sucked into the disk and turned invisible.
If not Li Xiu, who else could this buyer be?
"So it's you?" The old farmer also recognized Li Xiu's true identity.
Li Xiudao: "Since you are the one who said that the water in the well should not interfere with the water in the river, I hope you won't get in the way later. Otherwise, I don't care whether your surname is Ma or not. For a person who has been dead for many years, it will not hurt him to die again!"
The old farmer said: "Young man, everything comes on a first-come, first-served basis. I have been secretly investigating here for three days. It would be too aggressive for you to want me to leave as soon as you arrive."
Li Xiudao: "You are already old, so let me go and find out the details first, lest you die in a bad way. There are seniors and juniors in your Ma family, and they still expect you to take charge."
The old farmer said: "What you did in Tianshui City cannot be hidden from my eyes. I didn't expect you to have such cultivation. Since you want to show off, I won't stop you. Please do it yourself!"
"There is no grudge between you and me. The general trend is that we were just trying to find a way out in Tianshui City that day!" Li Xiudao: "It's better that you invite me first!"
The old farmer stared at Li Xiu for a long time, and finally without saying anything, he got up and walked away carrying the basket.
Li Xiu had lived in Tianshui City for so many days, and it was impossible not to find out the details of the Ma family. The Ma family was more than a bit stronger than the Jiang family in Baima Lake. The family raised several elders with golden elixirs and great perfection.
.This is just the strength on the surface. The ancestor of the Ma family appeared in Tianshui City. His strength is among the first-class masters in the world of immortal cultivation today. He is the leader in the realm of Lingji. In particular, he has integrated the fate of the country and the fate of the Ma family and cultivated it.
The strength of the Great Law Body is immediately comparable to that of the top monks. However, the ancestor of the Ma family has taken advantage of the situation to rise, and there are still flaws. Being comparable to the top monks does not mean that he can still have the strength of the top masters after leaving Shangbei County. The real number one master of the Ma family is
Ma Xingkong, the Prime Minister of the State, who died shortly after Shangbei County was taken out of Dayuanzhou more than forty years ago, was one of the leaders who led the people in Shangbei County to surrender.
The Three Corpse Transformation Technique created by Li Xiu is very unique in terms of luck. He has already figured out that in addition to the ancestors of the Ma family, there are other experts in the Ma family. Otherwise, Ma Tiancheng's Zhenbeihou would not be able to sit on it.
Steady, if he did not have strong strength and only relied on the three mountain monks, I am afraid that Ma Tiancheng would have been ignored and became a puppet prince.
However, Li Xiu never expected that he would meet Ma Xingkong here. It seems that the Ma family's huge business has been able to survive to this day, and Ma Xingkong doesn't know how much pressure he has secretly withstood.
Li Xiu made it clear in words that Ma Xingkong did not argue with Li Xiu anymore and chose to retreat temporarily. He, Ma Xingkong, did have a big business. Entering Beihaiguan alone was already risky. What happened now was even more...
If you want to find out the mystery clearly, you must take risks yourself. As for the relationship between Ma Xingkong, Tianduyuan, the General's Mansion and others, you don't need to think about it clearly. A person who pretends to die to get rid of a certain cause and effect is obviously related to
People in the devil's path are at odds.
Like me, who among the murderers can't deceive the secrets of heaven? Therefore, Li Xiu's three corpse spells are all ineffective. Only the real body can be involved to gain insight into the crisis and remove all obstacles! The consequence of the real body's participation is that the danger is doubled.
Growth, although Ma Xingkong didn't understand the purpose of Li Xiu's trip, he gave up to Li Xiu as the first person to pick a hornet's nest.
Ma Xingkong temporarily retreated, and Li Xiu was free to find an inconspicuous position and continue to follow him.
As the night progressed, the lighting array in Beihai Customs was closed one after another. Only some important road sections still had a faint light on the ground. There were also some luminous trees on the roads in front of some military camp hubs and wealthy mansions. Obviously, the Beihai Customs was built.
The craftsmen also planned the night inside. What should they do if the enemy attacks at night? Even the monks would inevitably be confused if they were in the dark. Therefore, they prepared a large number of luminous stones or moonlight trees, etc. However, before Li Xiu's eyes, there was already
Everything was swallowed up by the night. This area was obviously a residential area for mortals. It was impossible for the precious luminous stones and moonlight trees to serve these people, even during wartime.
Everyone is closing their doors. Although the weather in Beihaiguan is not as bad as that in Beiminghai, and there is no heavy snow to close the city, the early winter is coming, and the cold wind is also bitingly cold. How can these mortals endure it?
Li Xiu was as cold as a stone at the moment, with no human characteristics at all. Even if he went away and came back, if he didn't get closer, he wouldn't be able to find a living person standing here.
"After the catastrophe of heavenly punishment, although it should not be a thunder catastrophe in the traditional sense, my cultivation has been much more stable!" At this time, Li Xiu had a confirmation of his own. Although the catastrophe of heaven was not full, it was still very important to Li Xiu.
The tempering of cultivation is also of great help.
At this moment, a pedestrian suddenly appeared on the deserted street. This person was walking against the wall, looking around. When he walked, his toes landed on the ground without making any sound. Although it was night, Li Xiu could see clearly.
This man had a sinister look and was short in stature. At first glance, he looked like a thief. However, Li Xiu raised the corner of his mouth. It turned out that he was the best among the strongest. Everyone who came here was pretending to be a thief.
Experts, this man's disguise skills are not inferior to Ma Xingkong's.
The thief didn't go through the main entrance. He seemed to be targeting the house where I killed him. He thought he had some money to steal, so he climbed over the wall and got in.
"This person smells so familiar!" Li Xiu secretly suspected, and the result turned out to be the Nineteenth Highness. This was beyond Li Xiu's expectation. The Nineteenth Highness, the noble prince, actually disguised himself as a thief.
Who could have imagined it?
After a while, a two-person soft sedan came slowly from the other side of the street. The person carrying the sedan was not a monk, but a hard laborer. He was obviously a temporary hire. This soft sedan went through the back door. Li Xiu quietly
In the silent induction, he could clearly see the person who got off the sedan chair. This person was a young man, less than thirty years old, very well-dressed, and quite handsome in appearance, but there was a feminine feeling between his eyebrows.
He was so angry that he had a flower on his head, for fear that others would not know that he was a playboy. This man's cultivation was not as good as His Highness Nineteenth, and he could not correct his bone shape, but could only move his facial muscles. Li Xiu saw his true nature.
