A lean man dressed as a servant walked into the side room. The shopkeeper bowed respectfully to the lean man and whispered a few words to his side.
After the lean man listened to the shopkeeper's report, he stepped forward and said to Li Xiu:
"Master Li, my lord has been looking for you for several years! We finally meet today. I will take you on your journey to meet your lord!"
"Wait a minute! Who is the Lord? Who is my father? Who are you?" Li Xiu asked.
The lean man did not explain to Li Xiu at all, nor did he answer Li Xiu's questions.
"When you meet the Lord, you will meet your father." After the lean man finished speaking, he went to arrange matters for his men.
No matter how Li Xiu asked about his father Li Fengyuan, these people would not reveal anything.
One day later, Li Xiu and a group of people dressed as merchants left Qingzhou City and headed south toward Yanjing City.
I don’t know if the news leaked out, but I met a group of masked people when I left Qingzhou City.
This group of masked men didn't say anything when they came up, and went straight to the carriage where Li Xiu was sitting to kill.
Everyone on Li Xiu's side was a master of martial arts, and the two parties fought for a long time before the masked man was driven away.
On Li Xiu's side, two people were killed and seven were injured. The masked man killed more than a dozen people and the rest ran away.
Keep moving forward, everyone knows that the road ahead is full of dangers.
After another day of traveling, Li Xiu was sitting in a carriage when suddenly dozens of feather arrows flew from the forest.
Several feather arrows were blocked, and the remaining arrows penetrated the carriage frame and shot into it. The lean man was shocked, and he hurriedly ran over to check Li Xiu's condition.
Fortunately, those arrows flew past Li Xiu, and Li Xiu also had a look of horror on his face.
After that, a master sat on the roof of Li Xiu's carriage, guarding Li Xiu inside the carriage.
Four days later, Li Xiu and the others arrived in Bingzhou, which is near Qingzhou City.
Li Xiu and others stayed in a mansion of a wealthy family. After entering the city, half of the dozen injured guards were sent back, and more than twenty people came in to fill in.
After two days of rest, the lean man was anxiously waiting for someone to arrive.
Early on the third day, the lean man finally waited for the person he was waiting for.
The lean man respectfully greeted the arrival of a middle-aged couple.
The man is wearing a yellow robe, is short, and has a very long scar on his face that extends to his neck.
The woman is in her thirties and has a plump and beautiful face, but there is always a hint of violence in her eyes, making those who pay attention feel fearful.
Li Xiu used the power of his spiritual consciousness to sweep over the middle-aged couple in the house where he lived. The man was at the eighth level of Qi training, and the woman was at the tenth level of Qi training. They were actually monks, which made Li Xiu feel very
Curious!
I still remember that when his father was leaving in the middle of the night, he told the strong man that a woman was in labor at home. At that time, his father was still wondering why he came to him instead of a midwife. The strong man said that the woman at home was bleeding, and Li Xiu’s father
Then he hurriedly left with the medicine box on his back.
There has been no news for more than 20 years, and finally there is news about my father. Unexpectedly, I have been targeted before I even meet my father!
How could it be a trivial matter if a monk intervened in a mortal battle? Heading straight to the Imperial City of Yanjing, Li Xiu had a vague guess:
"Could it be possible that I was attracted by the emperor who was visiting incognito and became a thousand-year-old in the palace? Then there is no way he could treat his wife badly at home!
Otherwise, you rescued the princess and married into the royal family! Dad, you didn’t marry the princess and forgot your original wife, did you?”
Li Xiu was still thinking wildly, but the two Qi-training couples had already entered the room.
"Master Li, these two seniors are protecting you. You must obey the arrangements of these two seniors." The lean man said to Li Xiu.
"Thank you two very much. I actually know some martial arts and can protect myself!" Li Xiu said to the three of them.
"The closer you get to the imperial city along the way, the more troublesome it becomes for the thieves in the dark. Two seniors, please pay more attention!" The lean man glanced at Li Xiu with disdain and said to the two monks.
"It's easy to talk about! My husband and I are favored by the princess, so we will do our best!" The scar-faced man said politely.
The woman took out a jade pendant from her storage bag and handed it to Li Xiu.
"Take it with you. If there is any danger, it may save your life!"
Li Xiu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It was a one-time defensive weapon. When activated, it could block a blow from magic during the Qi training period. There was also a tracking rune engraved on it. Li Xiu smiled and put it
Wear jade on your body.
The next day, Li Xiu and the two monks and his wife got into a more spacious carriage.
On the way to Yanjing, we have to pass through three large states and several small counties. It would be impossible to reach Yanzhou in less than a month.
This road only took the official road, but even so it passed through countless mountains, rivers, and endless robbers.
The people who escorted Li Xiu experienced thirteen ambushes. These ambush included bandits and dead men who really wanted to kill Li Xiu.
Fortunately, the two monks and his wife took action and placed defensive diamond talismans on the carriage.
It was simply impossible for ordinary martial arts people to break the diamond talisman on the carriage, so those people had no choice but to retreat. No more dead soldiers intercepted or killed them on the way back. The group of people traveled in a hurry for a month and a half, and finally approached Yanzhou.
Hundreds of miles away from Yanzhou, we pass by Liangjian Mountain. Here is a river channel where two cliffs face each other.
If you go over the mountain, you have to walk an extra hundred miles, and the official road here has been changed into a boat channel.
The river was wide, and the lean man rented a small boat to cross the water.
It was noon and Li Xiu was sitting on the boat. He had been protected these days and had drinks, tea and meals delivered on time, which made him a little lazy now!
Li Xiu would occasionally pay attention to the two monks and his wife. During the Qi training period, they worked hard for others. They should be casual cultivators with low qualifications.
The boat was traveling very fast, and Li Xiu's consciousness suddenly sensed someone.
His consciousness scanned the bottom of the water, and four strong waves of evil energy crashed towards the side of the building.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were four consecutive muffled sounds, and the building staggered and almost tipped over after being hit.
"Watch the sail!"
"Struck on the rocks?"
“Where are the rocks in the river?”
"There's someone under the water! He's swimming over!"
Then the sound of fighting with swords and guns reached Li Xiu's ears.
The ship was not knocked over, but a group of divers jumped onto the deck with daggers. The lean man's men fought fiercely with the divers.
Four ghost figures with disheveled hair and protruding fangs emerged from the water.
Gray energy surged under the feet of the four ghost figures. With just a slight jump, the four ghost figures jumped onto the sloping deck of the building ship.
The beautiful woman in the cabin took out several talismans from the storage bag, she frowned and said:
"Iron Armored Corpse Refining! Their people are coming!"
The scarred middle-aged man walked up to Li Xiu and injected a burst of magic power into the jade pendant Li Xiu was wearing.
A faint halo appeared outside Li Xiu.
"I'll find that person, and you'll deal with those refined corpses." After the scar-faced man finished speaking, he took a talisman on his body and jumped out of the window.
