Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

But Zhang Zifan did not do so, because he suddenly realized that perhaps he and this person had the same purpose.

"Go on, and you'd better make sure what you say is true, otherwise I will make sure you know the consequences."

Lin Yu's voice was still cold.

"Can't you just speak properly?"

Zhang Zifan was speechless about this.

"But you haven't done anything that would make me treat you specially."

Lin Yu looked at Zhang Zifan with a serious expression.

He and Zhang Zifan were just casual acquaintances. Although they were not enemies during their previous meeting, they were not friends either.

"I met Li Xingyun before, right here. He didn't seem to be in a very good mood, so I did try to get close to him."

"But after talking to him, I realized he just had the same fate as me."

"I didn't plan to take him away, but Tongwenguan doesn't belong to me alone."

Zhang Zifan said softly.

"So this is why you look unhappy. You thought it was just you and Li Xingyun, but in fact, the people from Tongwen Hall are also watching you."

"They took Li Xingyun away."

Lin Yu said the rest of the words for Zhang Zifan.

"Yes, it's my fault. I wish I could save him, but there's not much I can do."

Zhang Zifan noticed Lin Yu's eyes and quickly spoke again.

"Tongwenguan has the same goal as other forces. Believe me, Tongwenguan will most likely not kill him like this."

"At least we have no intention of going to war with the Bad People."

Zhang Zifan looked panicked.

This sounds reasonable, but no one knows for sure.

"That means he is in Tongwen Hall now, right?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Yes." Zhang Zifan nodded.

"Take me to Tongwenguan."

Lin Yu's words were brief.

He didn't even wait for Zhang Zifan's answer, but grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into the city.

At the accommodation, Lin Yu took Zhang Zifan to meet the girls.

"It seems that there weren't so many people last time. How come Li Xingyun's junior sister is here too?"

When Zhang Zifan saw that there were so many girls in Lin Yu's accommodation, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Lin Yu doesn't look like he's here to carry out a mission on behalf of King Qi.

He seemed to be traveling with his family.

Lin Yu told the girls about his decision to go to Tongwen Hall.

Lu Linxuan had no choice but to do so, and Bai Wuchang had no decision-making power.

But Xuan Jingtian and Miao Chengtian seemed hesitant about this matter.

So they pulled Lin Yu to the other side alone.

"Sir, since you already know that we are from Huanyinfang, we sisters would like to go with you, but we need to report to the Empress on this matter."

"Going to Tongwenguan is a big deal. If the empress holds us accountable for this, we can't afford it."

Miao Chengtian said softly.

"If we were just searching in various cities, it would be fine, but now there is a possibility of conflict with other forces, so we have to go back to Huanyinfang first."

"We also need to confirm your whereabouts with the Empress."

Xuan Jingtian put his arm around Lin Yu's and tried his best to be flattering.

"I understand. It's okay. You don't need to come to see me for the time being after you go back. Also, if everything goes well here, I will bring Li Xingyun back to Qi Country."

"Also, tell King Qi and the Queen to be careful, as the Bad Commander may go to Qi."

Lin Yu nodded and instructed patiently.

In this city, two groups of people began to separate.

Lin Yu rode his horse towards Tongwenguan.

"I know that people from your Tongwen Hall are monitoring you. Please find a way. I don't want Tongwen Hall to know our whereabouts."

Lin Yu gave Zhang Zifan an order almost in an imperative manner.

Li Xingyun is in the hands of Tongwenguan, which means that they are in the light while Lin Yu is in the dark. This is not an easy battle in itself. If Tongwenguan knows Lin Yu's movements, it will be even worse.

Now we must take the initiative into our own hands.

Zhang Zifan hesitated for a moment and launched the flare in his arms into the air.

"I gave them the wrong instructions and told them to gather somewhere else."

Zhang Zifan said softly.

"Okay, for the next few days, you can't leave my sight, otherwise I will consider all the motives you explained earlier."

Lin Yu has never been at ease with Zhang Zifan.

Although Zhang Zifan wanted to say something, he also felt helpless about it.

The journey to Tongwenguan was long, and in order to save time, they did not choose to take the main road.

Instead, try to take shortcuts whenever possible.

Because we were walking on a small path, we couldn't change horses easily, so the horses had more time to rest than people.

After a long journey, everyone was covered in dust and dirt, and Bai Wuchang was probably the dirtiest.

But for Bai Wuchang now, she no longer has the idea of ​​dressing herself up. The only thought in her mind is to accept orders.

Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian had already left, and the two men, Lin Yu and Zhang Zifan, didn't care either.

But it was different for Lu Linxuan. She couldn’t accept herself like this.

She was originally a young girl, and rarely faced dangerous situations after going out into the world.

"I want to take a shower."

Lu Linxuan suddenly spoke.

"No, the nearest water source is several kilometers away, and you will waste too much time going back and forth."

Lin Yu refused outright.

Lin Yu also knew that this was probably the closest day to the water source, and they would have to wait for two days before they could reach the next place with water.

When they came out, they were well prepared with plenty of food and water.

But it is impossible to really use drinking water for bathing.

"When I was in the city before, I didn't have time to take a shower or spend the night, so I came out. If I don't take a shower, I won't be able to think."

Lu Linxuan's face was full of resentment.

"I asked you at the time, but there's no point in bringing it up again now. You made this decision yourself, and you have to take responsibility for your own actions."

Lin Yu still shook his head.

If Lu Linxuan insisted on doing this, then when it was time to leave, Lin Yu would not wait for her.

"I just want to take a shower. I don't think there's any need to be so nervous."

Zhang Zifan stepped forward to smooth things over at this time.

"I'll ask you again, do you still want to persist?"

Lin Yu looked at Lu Linxuan.

"Okay, I'm just discussing it. I don't have to do this."

Lu Linxuan was stared at by Lin Yu, and she finally lost.

This girl who has always been spoiled has finally learned to think calmly.

The short rest time was over and the group moved forward quickly again.

But this time, problems arose not long after we advanced.

"Why is there a teahouse in a place like this?"

Zhang Zifan noticed the environment ahead. There were mountains and forests all around, so it should be uninhabited and the land here was not suitable for farming.

But in such a place, there are actually people who opened a shop here.

If I really wanted to do business here, I would probably starve to death.

There are many bandits in the world nowadays, and this store is so conspicuous that it seems to be luring bandits.

If you look closer, you will see that this store only has a few tables and a few pots of tea, with a simple shed outside.

It can be prepared in less than half a day.

To put it more extremely, it seemed like it was specially prepared for Lin Yu and his group.

"Is this really not your arrangement?"

Such an arrangement made Lin Yu instinctively suspicious of Zhang Zifan.

"Let's just go through to avoid any trouble."

Zhang Zifan said softly.

"No, look at the situation, stop, and make contact."

Lin Yu's answer was unexpected.

Lin Yu lacked information as to whether Tongwenguan knew about his actions and whether they would respond.

If this teahouse was not run by Tongwenguan, then everything would be fine. But if it was Tongwenguan's doing, Lin Yu could still obtain relevant clues through this aspect.

The group stopped their horses in front of the teahouse and dismounted.

A big reason why Lin Yu chose to stop was because he could directly feel that there was no one else around and there were only two men in the teahouse.

One big and one small.

One looked like a monkey, thin and small, but the other looked like a savage ape.

This combination seems to have quite a special contrast.

They were wearing plain clothes, and judging from their attire, they seemed to have no connection with Tongwenguan.

Zhang Zifan was standing behind Lin Yu.

When he saw the two people clearly, his face turned pale.

Because he was very familiar with these two men, Li Cunzhong and Li Cunxiao, both of whom were adopted sons of King Jin.

Li Keyong, Prince of Jin, was given the surname Li and named Prince of Jin because of his outstanding military achievements.

Because he became obsessed with martial arts, he practiced in seclusion and ignored state affairs.

He had twelve adopted sons under his command, and together with his legitimate son Li Cunxu, they were known as the Thirteen Guardians.

Li Siyuan was in charge of the Tongwenguan and was known as the Holy Lord to the outside world. He was the eldest among the Thirteen Guardians.

Li Cunzhong ranks ninth among the Thirteen Guardians.

Although his martial arts skills are not high, he is extremely insidious and cunning, and his methods are brutal. He often works with Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao ranks tenth among the Thirteen Guardians.

He is dull-witted, simple-minded, honest, loyal, brave and strong. He can be said to be the most innocent among the Thirteen Protectors.

He looks like a giant with a huge body and strong as a mountain, with infinite strength and strength.

Zhang Zifan knew them and usually called them Uncle Ten and Uncle Nine.

But Zhang Zifan didn't know why they were here.

This made Zhang Zifan suddenly a little crazy at this time.

They are naturally from Tongwenguan. If their identities are revealed, in Lin Yu's eyes, this matter will be closely related to Zhang Zifan.

But Zhang Zifan had no idea they would appear here.

He received no notification.

"Haha, dear guests, our shop has all kinds of tea. Is there anything you need?"

"We also provide some food. Of course, since this place is quite secluded, if you need accommodation, the inn can also arrange it, but the price will be a bit higher."

The thin man standing at the front rubbed his hands and walked forward.

He did not have any eye contact with Zhang Zifan from beginning to end.

It was as if there was really no relationship between them and it was their first meeting.

Zhang Zifan, feeling guilty, did not dare to look into Uncle Jiu's eyes.

"your name."

Lin Yu suddenly asked.

"Your names."

Lin Yu said again.

His eyes wandered between the two people.

They felt a little guilty for a moment when they were stared at.

"I am Li Cunzhong, and this is my brother, Li Cunxiao."

He held out his hand and really got straight to the point with the name introduction.

Zhang Zifan was slightly surprised that Uncle Jiu actually said his real name.

He didn't even hide it at all. With Uncle Jiu's character, he would never do such a thing.

Unless he was sure that Lin Yu couldn't recognize him.

In other words, Tongwenguan has already conducted a comprehensive investigation on Lin Yu, perhaps without anyone noticing.

Even the people around Lin Yu were investigated thoroughly.

The two girls who could be recognized had already returned to Huanyinfang.

Bai Wuchang might be able to recognize her, but now she is in a daze. She only hopes to survive and has no other thoughts at all.

Lu Linxuan went in and out of the martial arts world and knew nothing about anything.

As long as Zhang Zifan doesn't take the initiative to speak, Lin Yu will not have any way to know their identities.

Lu Linxuan glanced at Lin Yu. Since Lin Yu made such a decision, she probably wanted to stay first. Her eyes were full of desire.

Lin Yu didn't waste any time, he really sat down and ordered a pot of tea.

"I think there's something wrong here."

After the two brothers left, Lu Linxuan suddenly lowered his voice.

"Since you think there's a problem, why don't you persuade me to leave quickly?"

Lin Yu suddenly became interested and wanted to know what Lu Linxuan was thinking.

"Since this is a teahouse and they can provide accommodation, it means they should have enough water."

"I'm not afraid of being poisoned. I won't drink it anyway."

Lu Linxuan said softly.

She seems to have a strong obsession with taking a bath.

"Since you have already thought about it, just make the corresponding preparations."

Lin Yu remained calm.

Li Cunzhong was walking towards them slowly, holding a teapot in his hand, and his steps did not reveal his skill.

"Here comes the guest, the Longjing you requested."

Li Cunzhong brought the teapot over.

But just as it was about to be placed on the table, Lin Yu's shoulder suddenly tilted and hit Li Cunzhong's elbow. The teapot fell abruptly to the ground, broke into pieces, and the tea poured into the mud.

During the whole process, Lin Yu kept staring at Li Cunzhong, but he did not show any signs of taking action, and it could even be said that he did not react at all.

If he really had kung fu skills, then he would have made these movements subconsciously.

But he didn't. When the tea leaked out, he quickly wiped it with the rag in his hand.

"I'm so sorry, sir. This pot is mine. I was careless with my hands. I'll get you a new one right away. Wait a moment."

Li Cunzhong apologized repeatedly, put the rag on his shoulder and walked into the house.

"Could it be that he is really an ordinary person?"

Lu Linxuan couldn't help but ask. (End of this chapter)
