After leaving Qingdanfang, Liu Zheji found another ordinary store to sell the red gold honey. This time the store was still conscientious and gave Liu Zheji the price of ten low-grade spiritual stones. Liu Zheji accepted the spiritual stone with satisfaction.

Empress Shi bought a few Qingqi Pills for repairing meridians. After this, Liu Zheji only had two spiritual stones left in his pocket.

He found an alley at random and got in. Liu Zheji held two spiritual stones in his hand and tossed them, but his eyes were fixed on the exit of the alley.

From just now, he felt that someone had been following him. As expected, Liu Zheji waited for a while, and a figure suddenly flashed in.

"It's you again? What are you going to do?"

The person who came was indeed Gu Mengying. Liu Zheji couldn't help but frown, wondering what she was up to.

"Haha, did you get your red gold honey from Baihua Valley?" Gu Mengying suddenly threw a bottle to Liu Zheji. Liu Zheji stared at it. This was the bottle Liu Zheji used to hold red gold honey. The mouth of the bottle

The lead seal remains untouched.

"So what?"

"I want to make a deal with you." Gu Mengying said with a smile.

"I refuse."

"A thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

"There is no such thing as pie in the sky."

"Ten thousand."

"I ate this pie!"

A hero would not bend down for five buckets of rice. Liu Zheji felt that he was not a hero and finally sold his soul for money.

With ten middle-grade spiritual stones in his arms, Liu Zheji felt as if he was dreaming. Gu Mengying paid the deposit to herself first, and was not afraid of running away with the money.

Ten mid-grade spirit stones are enough for him to practice for a while. In fact, Liu Zheji has another option. He doesn’t sell the spirit stones and keeps them for his own practice. However, practicing Lianglang is too damaging to the meridians, so the spirit stones can only be used to improve himself.

His cultivation level was of little help to Dielang, so Liu Zheji spent five middle-grade spiritual stones to buy a bottle of high-grade Qingxi Dan. This bottle of medicine was enough for him to use for a while.

With the elixir in hand, Liu Zheji naturally returned to the secret realm. Liu Zheji was a little distracted along the way. The contents of the transaction between Gu Mengying and himself made him unable to calm down.

To be honest, Gu Mengying's request was not difficult. It was even simple. Gu Mengying asked him to draw a map of Baihua Valley, which should be as detailed as every tree and earth bag. Even so, it was simple enough for Liu Zheji.

Having mastered the Spirit Turtle Hidden Breathing Technique, this Baihua Valley is like his own back garden, where he can wander around as he pleases.

"Why is it the Valley of Flowers?"

Liu Zheji thought of the shocking news that Gu Mengying had reported before, and had some speculations in his mind. However, this incident revealed too many flaws, making him unable to determine whether it was true or not.

"Forget it, cultivation is the main thing, it's still early."

After returning to the secret realm, Liu Zheji didn't think so much anymore and simply threw himself into cultivation.

After Gu Mengying and Liu Zheji made a deal, a dim shadow appeared behind her, and a hazy voice came from the shadow.

"Aren't you afraid that the superiors will find out when you trade with him?"

Gu Mengying smiled and said: "I have nothing to do with him. Even if I find out, I won't say anything. Our meeting is just a coincidence."

The hazy voice sounded like a sigh, and the long voice gradually faded away.

After the shadow left, Gu Menger put away her smiling face and replaced it with an expressionless one.

The bottle of red gold honey was carelessly discarded by her on the roadside.

The news about the secret realm of Shenhou spread more and more widely. All forces in Jiangnan County sent spies to Gu Cheng to find out the truth of the matter. After meeting Gu Mengying, the spies hurried back and seemed to have received extremely important information.

Jiangnan County, which had been temporarily chaotic due to the Shenhou Secret Realm, has strangely calmed down. All major forces have chosen to wait and see in silence. Only the people are still spreading rumors.

"Die Lang!"

In the secret realm, Liu Zheji drew his sword with concentration, and a fan-shaped sword aura instantly formed in front of Qiu Shui. In the direction where the sword aura pointed, Zou Qingshui stood there with a solemn expression.

"Bang."

Zou Qingshui lowered his waist and raised his arms. A layer of silver light covered his exposed side elbow. The sword energy then came and struck Zou Qingshui's elbow. The silver light on his elbow flickered, seemingly thin silver.

Guang just resisted the sword energy.

Liu Zheji put down Qiu Shui in disappointment. He had already practiced folding waves, but the effect was average. One layer of folding waves still could not break through the innate warrior's defense.

"My technique itself focuses on defense. It will be great if the strength of the Heavenly Warrior can shake my defense in the future." Zou Qingshui comforted me.

"never mind."

Liu Zheji raised his eyelids with a sad look on his face. The martial arts he had practiced for so long could not break through someone else's membrane, which made Liu Zheji feel very hurt.

Half a day later, Liu Zheji found the letter sent by Gu Lianqi at the foot of the mountain.

"Why do you need me to go there?"

Liu Zheji suddenly panicked. Gu Lianqi didn't mention what happened in the letter, but just urged Liu Zheji to see him quickly. This made Liu Zheji couldn't help but worry.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

He quickly arrived at the secret passage camp. When the patrolling black-armored sergeant saw Liu Zheji, he immediately led him to the camp's big tent.

Entering the tent of the camp, a bunch of people were gathered together. Liu Zheji saw an acquaintance. The pharmacist Makino stood aside with a sad face. Gu Lianqi lost his usual high spirits and saw him squatting on the ground with messy hair and hands.

He held his chin up and looked forward with a blank expression.

Seeing Liu Zheji come in, Gu Lianqi stood up reflexively and reluctantly smiled at Liu Zheji.

"Vice General Ma is dead."

Liu Zheji's heart thumped. Third Uncle Ying and Vice General Ma were tracking Sha San, but he was still alive. Now that Vice General Ma is dead, what about Third Uncle Ying?

"Three days ago, a small team saw the body of Vice General Ma while patrolling in the mountains. All the sergeants accompanying him were dead, and Ying San's whereabouts are unknown."

Makino came over and patted Liu Zheji on the shoulder and explained.

"How could this happen?" Liu Zheji was stunned. Sha Sanming's strength was not very high. Even Ying San, Vice General Ma and a group of well-trained soldiers couldn't deal with him?

"What about Sha Sanming?" Liu Zheji couldn't help but ask.

"No trace of him was found. He may have run away."

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar walked out of the crowd. He had a calm temperament and a resolute face. Liu Zheji vaguely saw the shadow of Vice General Ma in his face.

Liu Zheji knew Vice General Ma. As Gu Lianqi's deputy chief of bodyguards, Liu Zheji would often see him next to Gu Lianqi. Now that Vice General Ma was poisoned, one can imagine Gu Lianqi's mood.

"My brother has done everything upright in his life.

I didn't expect that he would die like this. General, let me go, I will cut that monster into pieces to sacrifice my brother's spirit in heaven."

The scholar turned out to be Lieutenant General Ma's brother. No wonder Liu Zheji saw that he and Lieutenant Ma were somewhat similar.

"Stop talking. Now Ying San's whereabouts are unknown. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Ma Ming, you can take the people down first. If you stay here, Zheji, I have something to tell you."

Gu Lianqi was also in a bad mood, but he was a general after all, and taking the overall situation into consideration was what he should do.

After everyone dispersed, only Gu Lianqi and Liu Zheji were left in the tent. Gu Lianqi clapped his hands, and a hazy shadow suddenly came out from behind Liu Zheji. Liu Zheji was frightened when he saw this shadow.

He jumped a lot, but he didn't notice this thing beside him.

The hazy shadow trembled like water waves in front of Liu Zheji for a few seconds, and then revealed its original shape. Liu Zheji did not expect that the owner of the shadow turned out to be a beautiful woman.

"Hello, young master, please call me Yingyi." The woman was dressed in black gauze covering her exquisite figure, only exposing the skin above her neck. Although her face was cold, she smiled at Liu Zheji.

meaning.

"Xiao Yi, you usually don't have such a good attitude towards me." Gu Lianqi said depressedly.

"You are you, and the young master is the young master, how can they be compared?" Ying Yi glanced at Gu Lianqi, completely ignoring the jealousy in his eyes, and chose to stand next to Liu Zheji.

Only then did Liu Zheji realize that Ying Yi was actually a head taller than him, almost as tall as the tall Gu Lianqi. It was rare for a woman to grow so tall, so Liu Zheji couldn't help but feel a little interested in her.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first."

Gu Lianqi said helplessly.

"According to the traces left at the scene, the person who killed Vice Admiral Ma was probably Sha Sanming. The aftermath of the battle at the scene was huge, but we didn't find it, so I guess Sha Sanming had a secret treasure in his hand that could isolate the battlefield, or

It is a formation, and the latter is more likely, because the innate warrior is one against two, and it is impossible to do it without relying on formation."

"Wait a minute? You mean an innate warrior? Sha Sanming is an innate warrior?" Liu Zheji suddenly grasped the key point of Gu Lianqi's words. It was obvious that Sha Sanming fought back and forth with him, but why did he suddenly become so powerful in the blink of an eye?

Has he become innate? Could it be that he is hiding his strength?

Liu Zheji's words stunned Gu Lianqi, wondering why he would ask this question.

"It's indeed innate, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Liu Zheji shook his head and said.

At this time, Liu Zheji had even more doubts in his mind. If Sha Sanming was innate, why did he let himself and Gu Menger go? Liu Zheji seemed to have missed something very important.

"We don't know the purpose of Sha San's life yet. The Hengduan Mountains will not be too peaceful in the near future. Ying San's whereabouts are unknown now. During this period, Ying One will protect him." Gu Lianqi finally said that he asked Liu Zheji to come over this time.

purpose.

"I don't need it," Liu Zheji said with a frown.

Gu Lianqi sighed. He had long known that Liu Zheji would say this.

"This is what Meng'er means. The situation in the Hengduan Mountains is very serious now. Meng'er is busy with other things and can't stay with you for the time being."

"I don't need anyone to accompany me, and I don't need anyone to protect me. If anyone forces you to do this, you'd better tell him to stop interfering in my life."
