Li Yan sat on the chair and frowned in deep thought. He had no clue for a while. He thought about how to escape for a while, and then thought about his parents, third brother and fourth sister at home...
After a while, Li Yan stood up suddenly, his face slightly ferocious, and said to himself.
"I think even if I escape, it's not certain whether my family members will be good or bad in the end! Maybe it will cause a big disaster in the family just because of me. If so, why should I bother to find a way to escape by myself? He just made a break."
After a while, Li Yan's expression slowly calmed down and returned to normal. Then he sat down again and began to think carefully.
In a deep forest millions of miles away from Qingshan Pass, the mountain peaks reach into the clouds, and the grand palace on a huge platform is submerged deep into the white clouds. In the palace, an old man in dark green robes is reporting the situation to the scholar in green robes.
"Peak Master, today a flying letter came back from the law enforcement disciples. After this period of searching, they have obtained some clues."
"Oh? Tell me!"
The scholar in blue shirt was currently sitting in a huge armchair carved with ferocious beasts. He looked at the old man and said calmly.
"They checked the area near the traitor's death and found that there were no mortal towns within thousands of miles, but there were some casual cultivators operating in the area.
After killing a few unsighted cultivators, someone reported that a person from the 'Xunxian lineage' had appeared there six or seven years ago. This person had been looking for medicinal herbs for a while.
After some careful investigation, this person was looking for some of the herbs I sent in the introductory body training chapter. "
"In this case, this person may be the one who took the things from the traitor."
The slender fingers of the green-robed scholar tapped the armrest rhythmically, and he still spoke unhurriedly.
The old man Eagle Falcon's body was filled with black energy, and he replied with a stern voice.
"It is basically certain that people of the 'Xunxian lineage' have always been looking for immortality everywhere. Once they get the immortal method, they will not worry about anything and will definitely practice it on their own.
But the letter also said that no one has seen this person in that area in recent years. He must have gone to find a place to practice. If he finds this person, he will be tortured by the soul-haunting filarial worm. pain. "
"Then what should you do next?"
"Peak Master, my subordinates have ordered the disciples outside to spread out, expand the search area, and search in several directions. I think there will be news back in the near future..."
In the following days, Li Yan practiced hard behind closed doors every day, as if he felt much calmer after his last trip to the city.
The aura on his body has increased after practicing in the past few days. Although the increase is very small, it makes the consciousness that detects him once a day tremble.
But as Li Yan practiced hard every day, he began to become irritable again after ten days. He had to stop practicing after half a day.
Sometimes I just soak in the pool for half a day. Although this place is located in the southwest, the temperature is not very low even in winter, but soaking in the cold pool in this late autumn is not something ordinary people can bear.
Sometimes, he would close the door and scribble wildly in the room, causing papers to fly around and ink to fill the room.
Chen An and Li Yin would stay away from each other at this time, fearing that if Li Yan caught a glimpse of them, he would call them in front of them and give them an innocent scolding.
But fortunately, Li Yan's temperament would get much better every time after taking a dip in the cold pool or painting the house for a long time. Otherwise, at twelve o'clock on this day, the two of them would have been called into the valley and reprimanded at some unknown time.
The practice went by like this day by day, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Yan went out and entered the city twice. The third military division also did not leave the customs. They were all accompanied by Chen An and Li Yin.
Every time he came back, Li Yan would buy some new clothes, belts, boots, etc. Ji Junshi would still use his spiritual sense to detect them, but he found that they were all ordinary things, so he didn't care too much.
Oddly enough, Li Yan would be in a good mood every time he came back from the city, and during the following days of training, his realm would always improve. This made Ji Junshi's spiritual consciousness scan him more and more towards him. I didn't care anymore.
On this day, Li Yan called Chen An and Li Yin again and expressed that they wanted to go to the city. They agreed carefully and then led their horses to accompany them.
The three of them quickly arrived at the gate of the north city. The person on duty at the gate today was not Liu Chengyong, but the captain of the first team of Zhan Bing Battalion who was guarding the gate.
The north gate is guarded by teams from Zhan Bing Battalion in turns, while the south gate is guarded by teams from Zhan B Battalion in turns, and the patrols on the city wall are patrolled by teams from Zhan Jia Battalion in turns.
After the first two visits to the city, Li Yan also visited Liu Shouyong and invited him and his brothers to have a meal at the "Natural Wine House", which brought them closer together. This made other members of the Zhan Bing Camp Extremely envious.
Now Li Yan has been around in Zhan Bing camp for half his life, and many people in other teams know or have heard of this "Master Li".
The three of them came to the city gate. The captain of the team on duty today was the captain of the first team of the Zhan Bing Camp. The master was a strong man named Zeng Wen. He had also seen this man from a distance who had recently been killed in the Zhan Bing Camp. Liu Chengyong and the others used it as "Master Li" to talk about after dinner.
"Hey, Mr. Li, I'm in the city today to do some business."
Of course Zeng Wen knew Chen An and Li Yin, and knew that Li Yan was accompanied by these two people on his travels, not to mention that he had also met Li Yan face to face.
"Oh, Captain Zeng is on duty. Where is Captain Liu today?"
Li Yan's memory is really good, especially after practicing immortal magic, he can basically say that he has a photographic memory.
He had seen this person from a distance last time in the military camp. At that time, Liu Chengyong even said hello casually, so he remembered it.
He didn't say much at the moment and asked straight to the point.
Seeing that Li Yan could call out his name, Zeng Wen was also very happy.
"Captain Liu is off today and should still be in the military camp."
"Okay, I'll go find him right now!"
Li Yan smiled at him, picked up the horse's reins, and walked into the city. Chen An and Li Yin also surrendered to Zeng Wenyi and followed Li Yan away.
"Captain, Liu Chengyong has been very popular recently. He often brags in front of other teams about Mr. Li inviting their team to drink.
Even the fools under him talked about it one by one, as excited as if they had just slept with the brothel sister. "
At this time, a soldier behind Zeng Wen said sourly.
"These birds are really stupid blessings that I don't know where. Next time you meet Mr. Li, everyone should be more respectful. Maybe it will be beneficial.
And didn’t Liu Chengyong ask us to inform Mr. Li if we see him entering the city? He also said he would give us some benefits.
and! I won’t tell you what benefits he can give us. He just wants to find opportunities to get close to others, so I won’t help him, hehehe... "
Zeng Wen said darkly to the soldiers beside him, causing the group of soldiers accompanying him to laugh playfully.
Of course, Li Yan didn't know about this. After the three of them entered the city, they rode straight towards the school military field. The military camp is located next to the school military field. He went to the military camp to find Liu Chengyong last time, and the road was familiar, even without Chen An and the others' guidance.
There was no need for horses to rush in the city, so the three of them rode slowly. Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly while sitting on the horse, and seemed to have a somewhat arrogant expression. Chen An and Li retreated half of their horses and followed on both sides, but they did not dare to Talk a lot.
At this time, Li Yan was thinking about things in his mind. Since the first time he entered the city, he entered the city twice more. Chen An and Li Yin were really following closely.
Even when Liu Chengyong was asked to drink last time, and he deliberately asked him to bring all the soldiers with him, and opened a few more tables, these two people still sat beside him.
Even when he finally went to the toilet with Liu Chengyong under the influence of alcohol, the two of them still wanted to follow him. After being kicked to the ground by one of them drunkenly and not daring to move, they had time to leave for a while and make innuendoes. I asked Liu Chengyong something.
This allowed him to basically confirm that Liu Chengyong should be Marshal Hong's man. Although he also admired Ji Junshi highly, his loyalty should undoubtedly be Marshal Hong.
The purpose of his visit to the city this time was to see if Liu Chengyong had received any instructions from someone recently...
According to Dong Fuyi's words, Marshal Hong really wanted to get Master Ji's "martial arts secrets". There should be no lie in this matter.
He started contacting Liu Chengyong twice, firstly to determine who he was loyal to and whether he could be used as a medium for exploitation. The second is to give Marshal Hong a signal that he has a chance to contact him.
But at this moment, he was still worried. These were all his plans, his speculations... Is this true? It’s still hard to count now.
If Liu Chengyong still doesn't respond the next time he enters the city after this contact, then he will have to find another way immediately.
It's not like he hasn't thought of other methods in recent times, but after wandering around, he still felt that Dong Fuyi was right. Only with the help of Marshal Hong would he have the best chance of completing his plan.
Just like that, Li Yan squinted his eyes on the horse and swayed with the horse before arriving at the door of the military camp.
At the gate of the military camp, dozens of armed soldiers had already seen the group of three people coming this way. At that moment, a man stepped out from the crowd, raised his hand, and shouted to stop them.
"The military camp is an important place, no one is allowed to enter!"
He is also a very discerning person. Although he does not recognize Li Yan, he vaguely feels that Chen An and Li Yin look familiar. Moreover, the other party is also wearing military uniforms, so his words are quite polite.
When Li Yan and the three of them saw that they were approaching this person, they all dismounted. Li Yan raised his hands at the same time, and a waist card flew towards the person.
The soldier reached out to take it. After looking at it carefully, he stepped forward, bowed deeply, and returned the badge to Li Yanfeng with both hands.
"My lord, why are you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to see Liu Chengyong from the third team of Zhan Bing Battalion!"
Li Yan took the waist badge and said softly that he now knew the general situation of his official position, and he was still an official in the military. It was still okay to go to the military camp, as long as he did not go to the Chinese military tent or military important place without orders. That’s it.
"My subordinates understand. I will tell Captain Liu now."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the gate of the military camp, then stopped in front of a soldier, said a few words to him, and the soldier ran quickly into the military camp.
Li Yan was not in a hurry and just stood outside and waited slowly.
Liu Chengyong has been a little angry recently. After drinking with Li Yan that day, Marshal Hong sent people to look for him as soon as he returned to the military camp.
He was confused at the time. Although drinking was generally not allowed in the military camp, he was an old man and was not on military duty at the time. People above him would usually turn a blind eye to this situation.
When Marshal Hong ordered him to go over, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He wondered if he had been tricked because of this, and he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.
"This is that turtle bastard who stabbed me in the back. Damn it. There are so many drunkards in this army. If I want to know who is behind this, I must skin him and tear him apart." His bones!"
When he arrived at Marshal Hong's mansion drunk, he was directly called into the lobby of the rear mansion. When he entered the lobby, he saw that Marshal Hong was the only one here, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"My subordinates are here to see the marshal. I wonder what the marshal has to do with his subordinates?"
"Hey, what can I do for you? I have something to do now. Can you handle it like this?"
Marshal Hong's bald head was glowing with green light, and he stared at him with a pair of eyes.
"Subordinate. This subordinate has met a good friend, so I can't help but keep him company. Hehehe... I accidentally drank some horse urine... "
Liu Chengyong heard from Marshal Hong's words that he didn't seem too angry, so he said with a smile on his face.
He knew that their marshal had a black face and a kind heart towards their brothers who had been through life and death, and as long as it didn't delay military matters, he would usually be fine.
Marshal Hong didn't say anything and just stared at Liu Chengyong. Liu Chengyong didn't see the Marshal speak for a long time. When he glanced again, he saw Marshal Hong looking at him all the time. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart and said sarcastically.
"Marshal, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. If your subordinates make mistakes, you can pull them out and give them a beating."
Marshal Hong suddenly asked after looking at it for a while.
"Who did you drink with today?"
"This... um, this is the wine that my subordinate drank today with Mr. Li, the disciple of the Third Army Master. However, this was all my intention, and I forced Mr. Li to go."
It has to be said that Liu Chengyong was a very loyal person. He was afraid that drinking would violate military regulations and implicate Li Yan, so he took charge of the matter.
"Oh, so you are quite familiar with Mr. Li?"
"We are quite familiar with each other. When Mr. Li first entered the city, he met his subordinates, and they also had several contacts later, and they were quite compatible.
However, Marshal, the drinking incident this time has nothing to do with Master Li. It was all caused by his subordinates who got drunk and took Master Li away. "
"Oh, that's it!"
Hong Linying paused and said again.
"You should get up first."
Hearing the commander's gentle tone, Liu Chengyong couldn't help but feel relieved. He had already planned to be beaten with a military stick. He also planned to find out who the informant was when he went back, and then show him something behind his back.
Feeling relieved, he stood up and stood with his hands down, waiting for Marshal Hong to say more.
