With Yang Shuo in the Marquis' Mansion, Li Mo was naturally relieved. He went to the Sheriff's Mansion again, told Liu Changhe the news, took out the heads of the men in black, and worshiped the third elder's soul. He also asked Liu Changhe to tell King Gongxian on his behalf that he would keep Yang Shuo in his mansion. Then he returned to Taiping Town.
However, Li Mo did not encounter the man in black again along the way, and it went very smoothly.
Not only Li Mo, but no trace of the man in black has been found in various places in Xuangu Continent recently, as if he disappeared overnight. Let the original panic atmosphere ease slightly.
But Li Mo regarded this phenomenon as the calm before the storm. The temporary hibernation did not mean that they gave up the invasion. Something important is about to happen!
Li Mo, who returned to the Marquis's Mansion, still did not dare to relax and intensified his inspections in the mansion. And recruit troops and buy horses to expand their power.
King Gongxian was really efficient in doing things. Within a few days, he arrived at Yang Shuo's military camp with a transfer order. Not only was Yang Shuo taken under Li Mo's command, but two strong men who were close friends with Yang Shuo in the military camp were also pulled over by Li Mo.
"Li Mo, these are brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu. Like me, we are straight people, so we are quite compatible!"
Yang Shuo introduced the two good brothers he had made to Li Mo.
With Yang Shuo's character, he can be regarded as a brother, and Li Mo's character is naturally at ease.
"Great, now is the time to hire people, welcome the two eldest brothers to join us!"
Li Mo was extremely polite.
"Master Marquis, we brothers don't dare act like you. We are just rough people. How can we be brothers with Master Marquis!"
"Two eldest brothers, my title of Marquis is just a false title. You must not call me that again. We are similar in age and it is better to call me brothers!"
"I said you three upright men, can you stop acting like mother-in-law and mother-in-law? Just tell Li Mo that we will be brothers from now on!"
…
Yang Shuo's straightforwardness is what Li Mo values the most. The two brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu are simply replicas of Yang Shuo. No wonder these three people are so in tune with each other.
Just when Li Mo was still happy about the joining of Yang Shuo and others, he didn't know that in the far north of the Xuangu Continent, among the endless and inaccessible mountains, four figures wrapped tightly in black robes Through the ancient teleportation formation, he arrived on the Xuangu Continent.
In front of them, a large group of black-clothed men knelt, worshiping them.
"Is this the Xuangu Continent? Haha, here we come!"
An extremely beautiful and seductive female voice sounded among the four of them!
…
The joining of Yang Shuo and others has no intention of adding a lot of strength to Li Mo's Marquis Mansion. Today is the most lively day of the year in Taiping Town, because Taiping Town is at the junction of the two counties. Every year on this day, monks from the two counties will come here to buy or exchange items needed for their cultivation.
After Li Mo learned the news, he left the Marquis's Mansion early in the morning. He wanted to find Liu Yan a suitable martial art for her to practice.
The stall owners on both sides were selling their products hard. Li Mo looked around and saw some ordinary elixirs and treasures but not what he needed. He was a little disappointed.
"Brother, what do you need?"
Just as Li Mo was about to go back, a childish voice came to his ears.
Li Mo looked toward the voice and saw a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old looking at him with a smile. The girl has big eyes, an oval face, and two deep dimples when she smiles. She is obviously a beauty. Behind her, there was an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He looked kind-hearted and was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, unaffected by the noise at all.
Li Mo knelt down and looked at the little girl with a smile.
"Little sister, do you have anything good here?"
"Brother, everything is here. If you need anything, you can take a look for yourself."
Li Mo carefully looked at the items placed in front of the girl. In addition to some low-level magic weapons and some therapeutic drugs, there were also some ancient books.
Li Mo's eyes lit up and he opened the books one by one.
A martial arts book called "Ba Duan Feng" caught Li Mo's attention.
Although the name of the martial arts technique does not sound suitable for women to practice, Li Mo read the book and recorded that it was indeed created by a female martial artist at that time. The martial arts skills require the practitioner's physical flexibility which is not something that men can achieve. .
"Little sister, how can I sell this book?"
"Haha... Young man, this book is not for sale, only for exchange!"
Before the little girl could speak, the old man who had been closing his eyes and concentrating behind him suddenly answered.
"Old man, what do I need to exchange for this martial arts?"
"Do you have a bronze mirror on you?"
The old man's eyes, which were confused and distracted just now, suddenly flashed with golden light! His eyes were like torches, staring closely at Li Mo.
Li Mo was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the old man's eyes, he felt as if he was showing himself unreservedly in front of him. Moreover, I also used my spiritual consciousness to explore the other party's details, and found that I couldn't clearly see the old man's strength at all.
"Old man, does it have anything to do with whether I have a bronze mirror or not and whether I buy this martial arts book?"
"Haha! Of course it does matter. Unless you exchange it for the bronze mirror on your body, you can't take this martial skill away."
"Okay then, farewell!"
Li Mo stood up in a hurry and walked towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Feeling uneasy in his heart, he didn't know why the old man knew about possessing the Xuanyuan Mirror. He was usually very careful and not completely sure. He had never used the Xuanyuan Mirror to fight against the enemy. Moreover, if the old man whose strength is far superior to his own attempts to snatch it away, I am afraid that this spiritual treasure will change hands again.
"Grandpa, what are you doing! It's not easy for someone to take a fancy to our things, but you scared them away. It seems that today is in vain, not a single thing has been sold, what should I use to buy you a drink? Woolen cloth?"
"Haha... My silly granddaughter, we don't have to worry about our livelihood anymore from now on!"
The girl was stunned when she heard this.
"Grandpa, why?"
The old man looked happy and gently stroked his beard.
"Hurry up and pack your things, I'll take you to a good place!"
The girl was confused, but she still followed the old man's instructions and put away the things on the stall. He followed his "unfashionable" grandfather and walked in the direction that Li Mo had just gone.
"Look, this is our future home!"
Arriving at the door of the Marquis's Mansion, the old man stopped and said to the little girl behind him.
"Grandpa! Are you kidding? This will be our home? Did you get rich and buy this place?"
The girl looked confused. When she was sensible, she followed her grandfather to live a wandering life with no fixed residence. Now she suddenly heard her grandfather say that the mansion in front of her was her future home. How could she believe it.
"Don't doubt grandpa's words, just let us go in."
Then he pulled the girl and walked towards the door.
"Stop! Old man, this is the Marquis's Mansion and no one can enter without permission."
"What is the Marquis's Mansion? This is my old man's home. If you stop me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Hearing what the old man said, the two soldiers guarding the door looked at me to see if they knew what they were doing.
"What's wrong? Who wants to be rude to our Lord Marquis's residence?"
Wang Qiang came after hearing the news.
"Butler Wang, this old man said that this is his home and he wants to go in!"
After listening to the soldier's report, Wang Qiang carefully looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of him, but he did not hear Li Mo say that he had such relatives! However, it is not ruled out that some distant relatives who have nothing to do with him may have come to join him.
"Old man, please wait a moment, I will inform the Marquis!"
Wang Qiang ran back to the house without waiting for the old man's answer.
"Yeah! Not bad. The people from the Marquis's Mansion are a hundred times better than the servants from other officials' families. My old man will just wait here for a while."
Li Mo was currently in the room, holding a Xuanyuan mirror and looking at it carefully, thinking about what the old man said just now!
"Report! Lord Marquis, there is an old man and a little girl outside, saying that this is their home and they want to come in!"
Li Mo was shocked when he heard Wang Qiang's report.
"Holy crap, who is this person's background? Not only did he know that he was carrying a valuable treasure, but he also chased him to his own home. It's so deceiving!"
The clay figurine is still angry, let alone Li Mo. Even if the opponent's strength is higher than his own, Li Mo is not afraid. Take Wang Qiang and walk towards the door!
