Chapter 31 No Escape

Inside the city, Yuanshi Mansion.

In the large living room, Marshal Hong had a happy face. He was sitting on a large wooden chair at the top of the living room with a piece of paper in his hand. "Junior Brother, there is news. Li Yan finally left the Military Advisor's Mansion and entered the city today. I don't know who it is."

What are you doing here?"

Under the shadow of one of the four thick pillars in the hall, the vague figure of an unusually stocky man in a soap robe emerged slightly. The pillar he was hiding in at this time was no longer where it was last time, as if it was every time.

He randomly picked a hall pillar and hid his figure behind it, and the sound of urn echoed lowly in the hall.

"Senior brother, if you calculate the time, this person has stayed in the valley much longer than the last disciple. According to the last calculation, the problem of the previous disciple should have occurred in the 7749th day. This is also

It is consistent with the Buddhist and Taoist teachings of thirty-six, forty-nine and eighty-one small weeks to build a stove."

"Well, I think so too. In this way, there are two things that can be confirmed. One is that the exercises Ji Wenhe practiced are stipulated to be the Little Zhou Tianxin method that can be used as an introductory exercise in 7749 days. This is undoubtedly a Taoist exercise.

Secondly, Li Yan should have been trained by Xiao Zhoutian."

"Senior brother, these two points should be certain, but there are still two points that are still uncertain. One is that Li Yan can cultivate to the point where Little Zhoutian succeeds, so is Ji Wenhe really used to be a successor, or is he a successor?

Are you saying that Li Yan is not good enough to use as his poison-inducing body? Secondly, if Li Yan can cultivate successfully, does the death of the previous disciple mean that their internal skills and mental methods are so profound that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand them thoroughly?"

"Junior brother is right, these two points will still have a great influence on the next actions. If Li Yan is still used as a poison-inducing body, then we can take advantage of it; if his cultivation method is unique, then for Li Yan

If you say this, you must make good use of it and study it slowly, so that even if you get the technique from this person, you will not know the secret of it."

"Then what should we do now, as senior brother?"

"Well, since he can enter the city today, there will be a next time, and the next time. This time, we can't contact him immediately, so as not to overstep Meng Lang, make him suspicious, and also make Ji Wenhe wary.

, let the people below keep a close eye on what he is doing this time, and then we can make the next plan."

"Yes, senior brother"

The hall fell silent, and a moment later, Hong Linying's figure disappeared.

"Captain Liu, you don't have to be like this. Fortunately, you gave me some advice last time I entered the city. I'd like to thank you for not having the chance yet."

Li Yan quickly took a few steps and held Liu Chengyong's arm.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I don't have anything to say to you. It's just a few words." Seeing Li Yan's sincere face, Liu Chengyong couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He had also heard about Master Ji accepting another disciple some time ago.

, it is said that he is from Daqingshan. At that time, the road guide that Li Guoxin showed him that day flashed through his mind, but he was not sure about it. When he saw Li Yan arriving today and was accompanied by Chen An and others from the Military Advisor's Office, he naturally understood immediately.

What I guessed was true.

Although he belongs to the lineage of Marshal Zhonghong, no one in the powerful army of the third division knows what a benefit it is to be able to make friends with his disciples at the same time.

Chen An and Li Yin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They looked at each other and felt sad in their hearts. Recently, they had not seen many opportunities to show this man a good look. Today, his nerves were on the line again.

, why are the two of them so unlucky?

Liu Chengyong withdrew the gesture of crossing his hands and secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Yan. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The boy from the mountain village he met back then is now an official of the eighth rank. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has made a meteoric rise. This is

There is someone in the court who is interested in becoming an official.

Li Yan had something on his mind and wanted to see Li Shan, Li Yu and the others as soon as possible. He didn't know what etiquette he should show at this time, so he could only hold his fists and say, "Captain Liu, I have some things to do when I go to the city now. Let's meet next time."

How about we talk more?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, make, make, that subordinate would like to send you off to Mr. Li." Liu Chengyong stepped out of the way, and the soldiers behind him also withdrew their spears and retreated.

Li Yin took a step forward and handed the horse's rein to Li Yan, "Master, please mount the horse."

Li Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's tie the horse here for now. Let's walk through the city."

Li Yin was stunned for a moment and then understood. Li Yan was afraid that his riding skills were too poor and he would get into trouble if he couldn't control himself well on the streets in the city.

Chen An laughed when he saw this, "Old Liu, we have put these horses here. You can arrange it. If we haven't shown up when you are on duty, please inform the brothers on duty behind you."

"

Liu Chengyong was also a sophisticated man, so he smiled and agreed.

After they left, in addition to still checking the way in and out of the city,

Except for a few of his soldiers, the rest of the soldiers moved closer to Liu Chengyong. "Liu Tou, is this really the person we met some time ago? He has changed a lot since we haven't seen him in February."

Liu Chengyong also sighed, "Seriously, it seems like yesterday."

"Liu Tou, you were very fond of him at the beginning, but you still have these old friends, and you may not be able to take care of him in the future," said a soldier, who was also on duty that day.

"Liu Tou, my brothers didn't have their turn to work with you that day. Have you really met Mr. Li?" another person said.

"Liu Tou, is this Mr. Li the disciple whom Mr. Ji has been rumored to have recently?" Several more soldiers asked.

After Liu Chengyong finished sighing, he was immediately asked by several of his subordinates. He felt confused. These brothers were good at everything. When the war came, they would do what they were ordered to do and fight against the enemy. However, they were usually too lax and even lacked some sense of hierarchy.

, waved his hand and said, "I have really met this Mr. Li once before. He is undoubtedly Mr. Ji's disciple. Okay, okay, you don't have to ask around. I'm on duty. You, you, and

You, lead these horses to the doorway and keep them under safe supervision."

Li Yan and the three of them walked quickly on the street. Li Yan was anxious and asked Chen An and Li Yin to lead the way to the "Natural Wine House". After half a cup of tea, they arrived in front of the wine shop. Li Yan found the right place where he came last time.

He walked into the street store, followed closely by Chen An and Li Yin.

As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed waiter came up to him and said, "Hey, three officials, do you want to drink or eat here?"

These waiters are so discerning. They are used to seeing people coming and going from north to south, and their thoughts are extremely exquisite. When they saw Li Yan and the three of them without any luggage, one of them was wearing a black robe, followed closely by the two military masters.

Naturally, I knew that they were not here to show off, but were here to drink or eat.

Li Yan stopped and looked around inside, oh, last time he just looked outside from a distance. When he came in today, it turned out that what they entered was just one of the street facades of this wine shop. There were seven or eight facades arranged horizontally inside.

Time opened up, it was already late noon, and many diners had almost finished eating, but there was still a lot of guessing, making orders, talking, and laughing, and it was still very lively.

"Oh, I came here to find Li Yu who is studying here. Please look for me." Li Yan said politely.

The waiter in the shop was stunned, and then carefully looked at the three people in front of him, and thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiaoyu caused trouble outside? That's not right, Xiaoyu rarely goes out."

Li Yin saw the waiter in the shop in a daze, stepped forward and patted his shoulder with his hand, "Our young master is talking about something. Are you deaf or mute?"

The waiter in the shop was startled, and immediately recovered from his confusion. Seeing Li Yin with a sullen expression, he even apologized: "Master, please calm down, sir, please calm down. I'll call him now." He didn't see Li Yanzheng looking at him apologetically.

He turned around and walked towards the back hall.

Li Yan had acted so unreasonably, and he had no choice but to act arrogantly to Chen An, Li Yin and several women who were already familiar with their nature in the valley. However, Chen An and Li Yin were so arrogant.

This kind of person who is used to fighting and killing all day long is not so good-tempered towards these ordinary people, and usually speaks with a murderous spirit.

Chen Anke saw the apology on Li Yan's face, and thought of his attitude towards Liu Chengyong at the city gate just now. He thought that this man was on a normal level today, and said with a smile, "Sir, these thieves are so stupid.

Take your time, but don't miss the young master's business."

Li Yan looked at Chen An looking at him with some doubts, and his heart trembled. He also understood that something was wrong with his performance today. Now he is a person with a cruel temperament, so he sideways glanced at the two of them.

"I still need you to teach me about my affairs. Now, you two, stay away from me. I want to have a conversation with my brother. Don't disturb my peace."

When Li Yin saw Chen An, his face suddenly turned bitter and he thought to himself, "Okay, this man is sick again. Why can't he understand what he said?"

After a while, the waiter brought Li Yu over. Just now he went to the back hall to find Li Yu. Because Li Yu is the nephew of Manager Li here, and Li Yu is usually very diligent and serious.

If you really do the job of an apprentice, you will be well-connected with people.

After finding Li Yu, the waiter asked Li Yu if he had been out recently and if he had caused any trouble. He told him that a man who looked like a noble man was out looking for him with two military masters.

Immediately, the timid Li Yu's face turned pale with fright, and he pointedly said that he had never gone out recently, and had been in the back hall. He didn't even have time to help deliver tea or anything in the front hall. Only then did he let him go

The waiter was relieved.

At first, Li Yu didn't understand, what does it mean to be like a noble son? If it is, then it is, if it is not, then it is not.

, but when he came back to his senses, he thought of one person and suddenly became happy. In the past few months, people in the village had often mentioned to him about Li Yan. He joined the army and even worshiped the famous Ji Junshi as his master.

, With the temperament of Li Yan, himself and Li Shan who were born in a rural mountain village, let alone these two months, it will be another year. Does it mean that wearing luxurious clothes means that you are a noble son?

When Li Yan saw Li Yu, he felt excited in his heart. He had not been out of the valley for several months, and now he saw his childhood playmate again. Nostalgia suddenly rose in his chest, making him miss Daqing Mountain, the small mountain village, and his parents.

As well as the people and things in the village, he quickly walked a few steps to greet them.

Li Yu came to the front hall and saw a person standing at the counter from a distance. He was wearing a black robe and had an ordinary appearance, but he was so familiar. Although his temperament had changed a bit, he still recognized him at a glance, and tears suddenly flowed out.

He ran over while whining, and the waiter next to him sighed. This child is good at everything, but he loves to cry. Every time someone from his hometown comes to see him, he always bursts into tears, as if he had suffered a lot in the store.

As if aggrieved.

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, wuwu..." Li Yu wiped her tears while running, which immediately caused the diners around to stop their movements and start to watch.

Li Yan was also excited, his eyes were a little red, and he hugged Li Yu who rushed towards him.

Chen An and Li Yin looked at each other, and then Chen An quickly walked to the waiter.

"Xiao Er, there is still a private room, let my young master and his old friend come in and talk!" The two of them saw that there were too many people here, and it was not a place to talk, not to mention that half of the older children were crying here, and others still looked at it.

I don't know why.

The waiter hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, there are them on this floor and also on the second floor."

Chen An looked at the busy diners on this floor and said, "Then let's go to the second floor!"

He walked up to Li Yan who was comforting Li Yu in a few steps and said, "Sir, there are many people here and it's noisy. Let's go to the private room on the second floor to talk."

When Li Yan felt that it was noisy here and could not talk to Li Yu properly, he was very happy when he heard what Chen An said. He thought in his heart, "This Chen An is really a good person with a clear mind."

They followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor. After the waiter brought a pot of tea, he was invited out by Li Yan. Then Li Yan asked Chen An and Li Yin to wait for him outside the hotel, but they never wanted to be greeted by Chen An.

Li Yin refused. On the grounds of protecting Li Yan's safety, they could not leave Li Yan's side for a moment. In the end, they had to be locked out of the door, and Li Yu was left alone to talk to Li Yan in the room.

After two cups of tea, Li Yan looked at Li Yu reluctantly again, and then rushed to the "Iron Pavilion" with Chen An and Li Yin. They also found Li Shan and after a happy meeting, Li Yu stayed behind.

Several dozen taels of silver were brought back to the village to be handed over to his parents the next time someone came to the village. Then he wandered around the city again. Li Yan bought a set of clothes and then went out with Chen An and Li Yin to pick up the horses and returned home.

Military Advisor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the valley, Li Yan felt a spiritual consciousness coming from Jijun's room. It quickly scanned his body, then carefully scanned the newly bought clothes and package in his hand, and then disappeared.

trace.

Li Yan pretended not to know, and deliberately glanced at the first stone room. When he saw that the door of the stone room was closed, he muttered a few words and walked towards his own stone room.

After entering the room, Li Yan poured a glass of water with a relaxed expression, drank it, sat on the chair and rested for a while, then stood up and closed the door.

After closing the door, Li Yan felt it again and found that no consciousness appeared, and his face darkened.

Today's move into the city made him confirm the following points:

One is Chen An and Li Yin, who are indeed the surveillance people placed around him for the Jijun division. Although they are respectful and a little afraid of him on the surface, they will not let him get away when they are outside.

They controlled their sight. Needless to say, they almost sandwiched him in the middle to "protect" him to avoid Meng Guo's "careful assassination".

Even when meeting Li Yu, the farthest distance between them was outside the private room door of the wine shop. Moreover, through the cracks in the door and the window, Li Yan also found that one of them was outside the door and the other was opposite the private room downstairs of the wine shop.

When he secretly jumped out of the window, he was discovered immediately. The same was true when he was in Li Shan's "Iron Pavilion". They stood dozens of steps away from where he and Li Shan were talking, and their every move was closely watched.

Within people’s sight.

Secondly, Master Ji has taken precautions against himself and deliberately bought a set of clothes today. When he came back, he found that his spiritual consciousness would detect new items that suddenly appeared, so that he would have everything under his control.

Li Yan couldn't help frowning when he thought of this. He was under house arrest. How could he escape from this deadly valley?
