However, Hao Ren also believed that Yun Zhen did not dare to lie to him. He could find out this kind of thing just by going to Luzhou City. If he deceived himself, it would only make him angrier.
What Yun Zhen said is right, the lord of Luzhou City is a master, and wanting to get his wife's favorite plant from the other party is basically a fool's errand.
This is only possible by relying on the huge strength of the White Lotus Sect.
Therefore, Hao Ren pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I believe you this time. I will go to Luzhou City and establish a stronghold. However, I don't have much money here. You need to pay for the establishment of the stronghold."
, In addition, in the stronghold I established, it is better not to disturb ordinary small characters. At least they are first-class warriors. Those who are below the first-class are not worthy of coming to my place."
Yun Zhen smiled slightly, "This is natural. Master Hao has established a stronghold. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better. Don't worry, I will give you a batch of gold, enough for Master Hao to squander it in the city."
The White Lotus Sect has been hiding in secret for many years and has naturally accumulated a lot of wealth. Every high-ranking person is extremely wealthy.
"If I find out that you are lying to me, believe me, I will let you know the consequences of cheating on me, and you will never want to bear it."
Hao Ren said calmly, to be honest, poisoning him made him very angry, but Hao Ren didn't think it was a big deal. No matter how poisonous it is, it can't kill him on the spot. Modern medicine is so advanced, as long as he goes back, there will be countless top
Doctors help you detoxify yourself.
"Tell me the information about the city lord of Luzhou City, as well as some of the masters among them, so that I can be prepared and not make any mistakes easily."
Hearing this, Yunzhen took out a stack of banknotes and papers from his body and said slowly, "This is ten thousand taels of silver. The rest is information about the lord of Luzhou City and the masters under him. In addition to them, there are also
There are some powerful local families in the city. Although those families do not have any strong masters, they do have many top-notch experts. They are intertwined with each other and have a network of relationships all over Dongli's country, so they should not be underestimated."
After taking the banknote and paper, Hao Ren nodded and sent the other person away without looking at it carefully.
After leaving Hao Ren's shop and returning to Caiyi Fang, Yun Zhen's face turned pale, and a trace of blood instantly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Xiao Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said in horror, "Hall Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I was just caught off guard by them. I didn't expect Hao Ren to break through to a first-class warrior so quickly, and I didn't expect him to master the sword technique so quickly. According to my estimation, even a genius needs a lot of time.
Two months, maybe, his speed is too fast."
Yunzhen waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and said with deep eyes, "The two of them have joined forces, and I am indeed no match. If it hadn't been for what I said later, it is estimated that the two of us may not be able to return safely today."
"Then the hall master also arranged for them to go to Luzhou City. Aren't you afraid that they would directly join the city master of Luzhou City and then join forces to kill us all?"
'If you tell the other party this news and then take action while I teach the masters to go to the stronghold, then the lord of Luzhou City will not be stingy with a plant, right?'
Xiao Hong asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Yun Zhen smiled hoarsely and shook his head, "Since I let him go, I am naturally not afraid of him betraying us. First of all, the poison in his body can only rely on us, although he does not believe it. Secondly, the lord of Luzhou City has a close relationship with his wife.
Well, to be honest, in the eyes of the other party, a first-class warrior is really not as good as a flower in his wife's eyes. When he reaches the level of the city lord of Luzhou City, he is basically a very human minister and cannot go any further. Therefore, even if Hao Ren
If he wants to cooperate with the other party, he doesn't put it in the other party's eyes at all. Even after cooperation, he has to worry about whether he will be killed by the other party. After all, no one can like a two-faced guy..."
"Hao Ren is a smart man. Smart people naturally know what to do to maximize benefits."
"That's it, Hall Master believes that he won't betray us?"
Xiao Hong asked unwillingly.
Yunzhen's expression suddenly darkened, and he spoke in a faint tone, "Do you really think that when the sect asked me to arrange a stronghold, you really trust me and will arrange for experts to enter the stronghold?"
"Isn't it?"
Xiaohong was a little shocked.
"I'm afraid it's fake to arrange a stronghold for me. It just makes me a bait to attract attention. There must be other strongholds arranged."
Yunzhen said with an ugly expression.
After all, she had been teaching for many years, so she could still vaguely perceive some of the meaning above.
However, although the above wanted to make her a bait, she believed that Hao Ren would not let her down. If necessary, her first choice would be Hao Ren's stronghold there rather than other strongholds.
…
There was nothing worthy of nostalgia in Shicheng, so Hao Ren simply packed up, bought two horses, and rushed towards Luzhou City.
Shicheng is about a thousand miles away from Luzhou City. From here to Luzhou City, it takes at least a week by horseback riding. The two horses I bought are not thousand-mile horses, and they can only run two to three hundred miles a day.
inside.
In modern times, it would only take more than an hour by plane.
According to the map given by Yun Zhen, Hao Ren kept thinking about the several martial arts he had mastered on the road. Occasionally seeing some bandits, he couldn't help but practice with them. After a week of practice, Hao Ren gradually mastered Lei Ying's skills.
Six steps in the middle.
He even mastered the last move of Duanyue Sword Technique, but he never had the chance to use it. Hao Ren felt that this move was too powerful, and even a first-rate warrior might not be able to resist it.
Of course, there has been some progress in mastering the dragon seals, from the first two seals to the first five seals. According to Hao Ren's estimation, he will be able to master the first nine seals in another month.
To be honest, Hao Ren was curious about the power of the first nine dragon seals.
On the seventh day, Hao Ren saw a large city appearing in front of him from a distance. It was dozens of feet high and hundreds of feet wide. At a glance, it was almost impossible to see the head.
There were some soldiers in armor standing on the city wall, with cold eyes, awe-inspiring aura, and an iron-blooded killing intent.
At the door, you can see patrolling soldiers everywhere, carrying spears and shields.
Entering the city here requires identity verification, which is regarded as the country's ID card. Yunzhen has mastery of Shicheng, so he can naturally help him forge one, and enter the city with the forged ID card and Daniu.
As soon as I entered the city, I felt the prosperity inside. There are various shops, small vendors, and even street performers and snacks on both sides of the road.
The laughter of children, the bargaining voices of adults, and some quarrels made Hao Ren feel like he was in a night market in Chang'an.
He looked at the lively scene around him, and planned to find an inn to stay first, and then make his next plan. However, the next moment, his eyes froze, and he looked at a child walking past him, and there was a flash in the corner of his mouth.
In an arc, one hand stretched out and grabbed the other person back in an instant.
"What are you doing, let me go, let me go..."
The kid who was caught spoke loudly.
He struggled desperately, but Hao Ren's palms were like steel, leaving him no room to resist.
"You stole my things and you still want to leave?"
Hao Ren smiled faintly, and Daniel took out a piece of gold from him. When the little boy saw this, his expression changed and he immediately said, "This is my gold. You want to rob me in the street. I want to report it to the official!"
Not far away, a little girl saw this, and a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Report to the official, okay, I would like to see if the official believes that your child has a piece of gold or that I have it."
Hao Ren chuckled and said in a leisurely manner. The situation here attracted the attention of many people, who all gathered around.
However, they all saw that Hao Ren had an extraordinary temperament and his clothes were not made of ordinary materials. The child was dressed in rags and did not look like a person who could give out a piece of gold.
Therefore, none of them had the heart to accuse Hao Ren of bullying the small.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, the little boy suddenly fell silent and said nothing more. Hao Ren said with a smile, "Keep talking, I really want to know how else you can quibble?"
Hao Ren was also a little surprised. This little guy didn't look too old, but when he attacked just now, his movements were as fast as a second-rate warrior. If Hao Ren hadn't been too strong, the opponent would have succeeded this time.
This guy is not a warrior. He looks to be only eleven or twelve years old. He has such ability. Hao Ren is indeed very curious.
However, seeing that the other party did not speak, Hao Ren smiled slightly, carried the other party forward, left the crowd, and entered an alley.
In the alley, Hao Ren put the other party down and said calmly, "Tell me, why did you steal my money?"
The little boy said nothing, as if he knew what would happen to him.
Seeing this, Hao Ren shook his head, suddenly looked to the other side, and smiled slightly, "It seems you have an accomplice."
After saying that, the little boy saw Hao Ren's figure disappear in an instant. The next moment, when he reappeared, he was holding a little girl in his hand, who looked dirty.
"younger sister."
The little boy's face suddenly changed and he spoke loudly, his voice a little childish.
"elder brother."
The little girl spoke with tears in her eyes.
"Please let my sister go, this matter has nothing to do with her."
The little boy said nervously, "You can do whatever you want to me, but please don't hurt her."
Hearing this, Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, but did not hurt the little girl, "How do you learn to steal money at such a young age?"
Hao Ren asked.
Hearing this, the little girl quickly said, "Big brother, my brother stole it for me. I have been frail and sick since I was a child. My brother wants to buy me medicine, but we have no money. Please forgive me."
My brother, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you..."
Hao Ren looked at the little boy. The boy gritted his teeth and his eyes were red, but he did not retort.
Hao Ren looked at the little girl and suddenly stretched out his palm and placed it on her hand. An internal force entered her body and checked her body.
