Everyone's vision is limited, and the information obtained cannot be comprehensive.

In the eyes of Huanxi Maitreya and the Panshan bandits, the liquor seller of the Lu family deceived more than a dozen bandits and two boys with a letter, and the government experts who were lying in ambush killed them.

Originally, the name had not yet been confirmed and needed to be explored, but this time it was finally settled.

Because the spy who entered the city was actually arrested at Lu's house again.

Robbers will not know the twists and turns and details. They will only see the superficial information, and then they are likely to make guesses like "being cautious, minimizing risks, and most beneficial to themselves" like a "prisoner's dilemma".

That is, the Lu family has really joined forces with the government, and Mrs. Lu has acted as a double agent, pretending to join them, but in fact she is deliberately luring them out.

As for the Lu family, it could be said that they were put directly on the grill. They were not human inside and outside, they couldn't explain clearly, and they were suffering a lot.

If the storyteller wanted to stir up the atmosphere, his eyes would definitely shine, he would be stunned and say: "It is said that when the bandit leader of Panshan saw the tragic death of his brother, he was angry in his heart. Thinking of righteousness, he angrily led the bandits and rushed towards Taohua in a swarm.

county."

But the reality is very likely to be the opposite.

brother?

Brother, what the hell.

The brother died tragically. What the bandits were thinking about was not revenge, but whether the idea was tough. Will I die if I take it? Does the dead brother have any inheritance? If he doesn't grab it quickly, it will be gone.

Baishan remained silent and observed for three days.

Three days later, he found that everything around the county was calm and the bandits seemed to have disappeared.

In Taohua County, there are actually people out peeling bark from trees and looking for wild vegetables.

Why is it so peaceful?

Bai Shan thought about it for a while and roughly understood the reason.

First of all, he used leaves to kill the two young men in colorful clothes and more than a dozen bandits that night. People with a discerning eye can see that they were all done by the same person. This must have a deterrent effect, and it is easy for the bandits to develop "actually"

The support from Tianyi Mansion has arrived a long time ago, and Taohua County is preparing to catch a turtle in a jar."

Secondly, the bandits were frustrated twice and became suspicious.

To sum up, the bandits must have decided to find out the situation before making further calculations.

This further proves that there are experts behind the bandits.

Otherwise, how could there be such discipline and binding force?

However, this kind of calmness is also a good thing for Bai Shan. He can just go to Panshan Mountain to practice the [Burning Heart Technique].

...

...

The morning light has not yet risen, and the sky is gray.

There is a thin mist filling the short houses with white walls and black tiles in Taohua County, which blocks people's vision and makes everything visible only a blurry outline.

Last year at this time, the streets of the county were already filled with people buying and selling, but this year, due to natural and man-made disasters and a bad year, it was still very deserted.

Baishan opened his eyes, got up from the bed, put on strong clothes that were easy to move inside, and wrapped himself in the hooded gray cloak that Sister Miaomiao gave him, and then checked the contents of the mustard bag.

In addition to 1,159 kilograms of meat, 70 jars of spirits (one jar used 7 kilograms), 20 jars of tiger bone wine, 20 jars of hundred flower wine, 10 jars of willow leaf roast, 90 large silver ingots, and two official tickets with a denomination of 50 taels.

, 5 bottles of vegetable pills (one bottle used 5 pills), 3 red thread fruits, a cart, 15 government-standard long knives, and two ordinary forged long swords,

There are twenty more throwing knives.

The flying knife is three inches and seven minutes long and can be easily held between fingers. It was cast by Yang Dazi, a blacksmith from the east of the county. It cost a total of 50 taels of silver. Because of the extra money, the casting time only took five hours.

The style is the most common and is the unified style in the Xinjin area (Xinjin, that is, "Xinzhou" and "Jinzhou" among the nine states of the Daqian Dynasty).

Why?

Unless the blacksmiths who forge weapons in this world are particularly famous, they will not deliberately innovate, let alone accept the weapon designs provided by others. After all, although the people who forge weapons in this world are blacksmiths, the people who kill people are other people. There are others. When the time comes... the relatives and friends of the murdered person want revenge. If the murderer cannot be found, they will most likely find the blacksmith.

Making it a unified style can avoid this problem.

This also solved Baishan's concerns.

Although Sister Miaomiao purchased it very carefully, if the blacksmith made a special style, then if someone checked it out, it would still be very likely to find Yang Mazi, and then check it elsewhere, which would be a trouble after all.

Baishan checked the items again, then pushed the door open and walked quickly to the west end of the county.

Originally, he wanted to get a map of the surrounding area, at least a map of Panshan Mountain, so that he could understand the terrain and choose a suitable location for training.

But he soon discovered that in the Daqian Dynasty, it was even more difficult to obtain the map than to obtain the skills, which was simply impossible.

There are also special laws and regulations that clearly stipulate that "Private possession of maps and private drawing of maps are both major crimes; buying and selling maps is a capital crime. As long as the evidence is conclusive, you can be directly questioned and executed."

Therefore, Baishan's plan to buy a map and choose a place for training was completely scrapped.

However, he was not worried. His last experience gave him a vague idea that the Panshan bandit's stronghold was probably in the east of Taohua County, so... this time he went west and then chose a hidden place a little further away.

...

...

"Master, more than ten miles ahead is Taohua County. Is it really okay for us to dress up like this?" A young man's voice sounded in the mist.

Another calm man's voice responded: "At the bottom, you can see more things, so you can take the initiative. From now on, you don't need to call me master, just call me big brother."

"It's...big...big brother."

"Master, what about me? I..." Another girl's voice sounded.

The calm male voice said: "You can also call me big brother."

"Brother!"

"Yeah." The commoner man nodded.

This is a strong man in his thirties with a boy and a girl. The strong man has a slightly burly figure and an expression that is not angry but powerful. Even if he deliberately conceals it, he can only cover it up by applying more dust on his face.

This burly man in civilian clothes is none other than Gu Shuangyuan, the advance reinforcement sent by Tianyi Mansion.

Gushuangyuan, a government-level minister stationed in Tianyi Mansion, enjoys seventh-level treatment, and his strength is at the fifth level of martial arts.

The boys and girls are his disciples, and they are all warriors who have entered the four realms.

"Enshrinement" is a special system of the Daqian Dynasty after the "ban on martial arts." It was this system that allowed the Daqian Dynasty to completely suppress the world, and also made many powerful people in the world hate the Daqian Dynasty.

However, many of the strong men who "disobeyed discipline" have been killed, and the rest either kept their names anonymous, or took advantage of the trap of household registration, changed their names, and started over. However, no matter what, they and the Daqian Dynasty were still the same. The blood feud between the two countries cannot be quelled.

Having said that, after a martial arts practitioner becomes successful, there are two mainstream options.

1. Continue to practice in the legal world;

Second, join the government and gain a reputation as a "sacrifice". Then, like military officials, you will be rewarded based on your merits.

What is different from the legal Jianghu forces is that the government has countless Kung Fu laws, while the Jianghu forces only have a few Kung Fu laws.

Therefore, offerings from the government are very popular, but the number of offerings is also very limited. Every time you recruit offerings, there will be a lot of open and covert fights. Every time you go on a mission, you will also attract a lot of offerings because of your merits.

competition.

This time, it was Gu Shuangyuan who was assigned.

However, after getting to know Gu Shuangyuan a little, he did not appear directly. Instead, he chose to dress up in plain clothes and enter Taohua County secretly.

Suddenly, the minister at the government level slowed down, took two more steps, and stopped.

Behind him, two disciples were stunned.

The girl asked: "Master...brother, what's wrong?"

The young man was also very puzzled, why did the master suddenly stop while walking?

However, Gu Shuangyuan did not answer. The burly man looked serious, his arms were slightly lowered, and the hanging fists were slowly clenched.

As his fists were clenched, thick veins protruded on his arms like knotted old tree roots, and a thin layer of black light flashed on his fists, which was extremely powerful and terrifying.

The boys and girls suddenly became alert, tensed up and looked around.

In the thin mist, the two finally heard footsteps and saw an extremely blurry gray humanoid outline. It was a man wrapped in a cloak and wearing a wooden mask.

At this moment, walking in a place like this and dressing up like this seems suspicious at first sight.

But even though it was suspicious, young girls wouldn't have such a strong reaction if they encountered him.

However, the two of them knew that Master must have sensed the danger in doing so...

Ordinary people only know that Gu Shuangyuan is quick in his movements and has superb boxing skills, but few people know that Gu Shuangyuan's premonitions are particularly powerful, and Gu Shuangyuan can always detect some hidden crises.

As the two sides approached, the gray shadow also stopped.

Gu Shuangyuan looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

Hui Ying did not answer, but asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you a Panshan bandit?"

Gu Shuangyuan said: "No, what about you?"

Gray Shadow said hoarsely: "Neither am I."

Gu Shuangyuan became more vigilant and narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty, please tell me your identity. At this time, walking in this place..."

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted.

An extremely ferocious aura rose up around the gray shadow, as if a ferocious beast jumped out of the mountains and wasteland to devour people. This aura made Gu Shuangyuan's whole body instinctively tighten, like a bowstring stretched to its limit...

...

A feeling of suffocation rose from the bottom of his heart.

The two were in a stalemate.

After a few seconds, the gray shadow dissipated his momentum and said hoarsely: "I have no ill intentions, and I have no intention of getting involved in anything. The Panshan bandits and the government have nothing to do with me. You... don't get involved."

Gu Shuangyuan hesitated for two or three seconds, then took a deep look at him, stepped aside and let the gray shadow walk past.

It wasn't until the gray shadow walked away that fine beads of sweat and a thin layer of heat emerged from his body.

"Brother, that person?" The boy and the girl couldn't help but ask curiously. They didn't feel the aura of the gray shadow just now, or perhaps the aura of the gray shadow had not locked onto them.

Gu Shuangyuan said solemnly: "He is very scary, and I don't know his identity. Forget it, stop talking about it now, let's hurry up and enter Taohua County..."
