To Li Mo's surprise, after he told Liu Yan about his upcoming trip to the Imperial City, Liu Yan had no objections. Instead, he was uncharacteristically supportive of his approach. Just tell him to pay attention to safety, she will wait for him in the sect!
One sentence is worth a thousand words, how could Li Mo not know her thoughts.
Early on the next morning, Xuanyuan Wudi and Li Mo took a shuttle boat and left Xianyang Sect and headed straight for the imperial city without disturbing anyone.
"Grandpa, how far is this imperial city from us?"
Li Mo asked Xuanyuan Wudi who was sitting beside him while controlling the shuttle boat.
"The Imperial City is located in the center of the entire continent. If we travel at full speed, it will take at least three days!"
"So long? Then do you think the emperor will send troops directly within a few days?"
Li Mo still expressed his worries.
"Probably not. I think the emperor should have heard about our sect's strength a long time ago. How could he possibly go on a personal expedition without being fully sure of it!"
After hearing Xuanyuan Wudi's words, Li Mo felt relieved.
"Grandpa, what is the emperor's name?"
"It should be called Liu Jing, I heard someone mention it a long time ago!"
"Liu Jing? Does grandpa know what kind of strength Liu Jing is?"
"Well... I really don't know. But seeing that Liu Ze is only at the level of a military commander, I think his brother Liu Jing is at most a martial spirit. But as the current emperor, there must be someone around him There are many experts protecting me, but I don’t know if there are any strong warriors like Master. We must be careful when we enter the imperial city!”
"Martial Master? Grandpa, you can't do it, right? You've never said such a thing in the sect?"
Li Mo was shocked when he heard this, if there was a powerful Wu Zun beside Liu Jing. Then he and Xuanyuan Wudi's trip was basically like going to die.
"I didn't say it within the sect because I was afraid that everyone would worry! Don't worry, I have already discussed this matter with Master, and he will protect us secretly!"
"Ah! Are you saying that my ancestor is here too? Then I'll feel more relieved!"
Li Mo patted his chest and clothes, looking relieved.
"Looking at your little boy's potential, when did your grandpa and I ever fight a battle that we were not sure about!"
Xuanyuan Wudi pretended to be angry and glanced at Li Mo.
"Hey, grandpa, aren't I also worried that we won't be able to complete the mission?"
Li Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hmph! You stinky boy, your mouth is the only one that's good!"
…
The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed for the whole day of the flight. In the evening, we stopped at a place called Blackwater City. Prepare to have a night's rest before heading out tomorrow morning.
"Hey! Hey! Who are you two? The city gate is about to close. If you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow morning!"
A soldier with a fat head and big ears stopped Li Mo at the gate of the city.
What surprised Li Mo was that this soldier was actually a martial arts monk, and his cultivation was already at the level of a junior martial artist.
"Oh! Sir, we came from a very far away place. It's getting late now and my grandfather is not in good health. Please make it easy for me to come in."
As he spoke, Li Mo put a one hundred tael silver note into the fat soldier's hand.
"Well! Since you are so filial, I will make an exception and let you in today!"
After saying that, the fat soldier no longer stopped Li Mo, but ran to the side to check the banknotes in his hand in the dark.
"Bah! What the hell!"
Li Mo muttered something in a low voice, then helped Xuanyuan Wudi and entered Blackwater City!
"Grandpa, didn't you find it strange that the soldier just now was actually a junior martial artist?"
"Yes, it stands to reason that the soldiers guarding the city gate should all be mortals. Why are there martial arts monks here? Is it possible that something is going to happen here?"
Xuanyuan Wudi was also very puzzled.
"Hey! No matter what, let's find an inn to stay in first. I'm really tired after controlling the shuttle boat for a day!"
After much deliberation, he didn't know why, and Li Mo was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. Simply stop thinking about it!
It was getting dark, and the streets of Blackwater City were deserted. Occasionally, a few patrolling soldiers would appear. What surprised Li Mo was that all of these soldiers were composed of martial arts monks. Although the strength is very low, it can be seen how strict the defense of Blackwater City is.
The two finally found an inn called Tongfu. After opening the room, Li Mo saw several tables of guests drinking on the first floor of the inn, so he ordered some food and drinks and sat down with Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Xiao Mo, I think you are not tired, you are still in the mood to drink here!"
Xuanyuan Wudi picked up the topcoat wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Hey, Grandpa, isn't it because you came here to have a good time? Besides, places like this are the ones with the most information! Maybe there are some things we are interested in!"
"Haha... You kid, come and have a drink with grandpa!"
Xuanyuan Wudi drank it all in one gulp again.
…
"Brother, have you heard that the Lord of our Blackwater City, Iron City, is going to marry the daughter of the Chen family tomorrow?"
"What? Brother, are you serious about this?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that our Blackwater City sent a lot more soldiers to patrol today?"
"Patrol? Does this have anything to do with the city lord's marriage?"
"Hey, brother, it seems you really know nothing about this! I have a brother who works in the city lord's palace. He told me that the Chen family did not want to marry their daughter to the city lord. The iron city lord was furious. , so they sent people to surround the Chen family and strengthen security to prevent the Chen family from escaping! "
"Isn't this bride-stealing? Besides, how old is Tie Qingqing? He still wants to marry Miss Chen. I heard that Chen Yuanyuan is as beautiful as a flower. Doesn't Tie Qingwu clearly make her a widow? Haha... "
"Hey, my brother, don't talk nonsense! If Tie Qingqing knows about you and my life, our lives will be in jeopardy. How can Tie Wuqing be married? He is obviously interested in Chen Tao's weapon refining skills. Technique!”
…
With the strength of Li Mo and Xuanyuan Wudi, they can hear each other clearly no matter how low their voices are. At first I wasn't interested in the conversation between the two, but it wasn't until they mentioned the word "refining weapons" that I put down the wine glass in my hand. They looked at each other and returned to the room.
"Grandpa, did you hear those two people mention weapon refining?"
"Nonsense, old man, I'm not deaf, how can I not hear?"
"Grandpa, can you tell me about refining weapons?"
Li Mo was very curious about this. This was the first time he came into contact with weapon refining since he came to this continent.
Xuanyuan Wudi licked his beard, as if he was remembering something.
"I really don't understand the art of weapon refining, but I know that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can learn. In addition to talent, you must also master the art of controlling fire before you have a chance to become a weapon refiner. Competition among weapon refiners on the Xuangu Continent Pharmacists are even rarer. Back then, I had an old friend who was proficient in this technique, but he had a weird personality and was not afraid of power and was eventually killed by a traitor! "
When Li Mo heard this, a bold idea immediately appeared in his mind!
