Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 143: Just Creating an Opportunity to Get Along
The next morning.

The first rays of morning light shine on the window frame.

Li Rui came out from the secret passage.

Yes, he hid in the secret passage all night last night.

The bloody smoke lasted for about a quarter of an hour and then dissipated. For safety reasons, he waited until daybreak before coming out.

"Who is it?"

Li Rui frowned tightly.

Is he an existence that even Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei can't afford to offend?
Or is it specifically for yourself?

He was lost in thought.

Then he sighed softly, pushed the door open and walked out.

"Old Li, you finally came out."

Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Rui walking out of the room.

Li Rui usually gets up early to practice boxing.

But today, things suddenly changed.

After he and Wang Zhao got up, they found that Li Rui had not gone out, and they were very worried.

Li Rui said nonchalantly, "When people get old, they tend to sleep lightly. The birds chirped all night last night, which was really annoying, so I slept a little longer."

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao looked at each other:
"Sparrow?"

Why did they remember that last night was very quiet, without any sound of birds?

Yang Yong was somewhat speechless: "Old Li, did you get confused after sleeping? There was clearly no sound last night."

"Maybe I'm dreaming."

Li Rui said lightly.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Obviously, Yang Yong and Wang Zhao had no idea of ​​the danger last night.

"So. What happened?"

another side.

In an empty house in Qinghe New City that couldn't be more ordinary.

After this house was built, it was bought by a businessman from another place, but strangely, it has been vacant and no one lives in it.

The neighbors around here have long been accustomed to it.

In a room in an empty house.

"As expected of the Jiangdong Sword Immortal, he really has some skills."

Qi Cheng sneered as he took off his black robe.

Yes, this house was built by County Magistrate Zhuang Renhe.

He is a member of the Ghost Cult and if he stays in the county government office all the time, he might be discovered.

That's why Zhuang Renhe bought this house under the guise of a foreign businessman.

Specially for Qi Cheng to live in.

“I have to go again.”

Last night, he sneaked into An Ning Guard Station. His aura had been suppressed to the extreme, but he was still almost discovered by Jiang Linxian.

If he hadn't used the secret method, he might have been kept in An Ning Wei.

"How dare you take things from my Guiming Sect!"

Killing intent flashed in Qi Cheng's eyes.

He has basically determined the scope. As long as he waits until Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei leave An Ning Wei, it will be time for him to take action.

Just wait, he has plenty of patience.

Over the past year.

He has been secretly looking for the person who killed the ghost demon Zhang Hao.

That person is most likely the real culprit who took away the magic treasure.

Qi Cheng would not give up easily as he had both revenge and the mission of the Ghost Cult completed.

"Tolerate!"

Qi Cheng is not a fool.

Of course, he couldn't just rush into An Ning Guard Station and kill people openly.

"I don't believe that Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei won't go out!"

"senior?"

Han Qin was originally practicing martial arts in his own yard when Li Rui came to his door.

He is an eighth-rank warrior.

Most of the young disciples of Huaqing Sect did not hold any actual position in Anning Guard. For them, going to Anning Guard was more for experience. Only those deacons who had no hope of promotion would pursue fame and fortune in Anning Guard.

Although they did not have any official positions, they were all assigned separate houses.

Li Rui: "Brother Han, do you have time?"

Han Qin nodded without even thinking: "Yes, yes."

It's not just that he has time, a lot of his time is now wasted.

It is impossible for a warrior to practice martial arts for twelve hours a day, as that would only make him useless.

Generally speaking, three or four hours are enough.

But what about other times?
In the past, I used it to go out on missions and acquire more resources, but now... it's boring.

Even if Li Rui didn't come to find him, he would go to find Li Rui.

I'm really too idle.

Li Rui: "I'll have to trouble Brother Han to gather the others and give us the mission to go out on patrol."

"it is good!"

Han Qin's eyes lit up.

As long as you go on a mission, you can earn military merits, which can be exchanged for resources from An Ning Wei.

He is not like the other rich second generations. If he doesn't work, he will just live off his wealth.

Only half an hour.

Han Qin brought three men and two women to Li Rui.

See you again.

Compared to the first time they met, the few of them were obviously much better. Although they could not be said to respect Li Rui, at least they did not reject him.

Li Rui smiled faintly: "Everyone, we have received the general's order to patrol Qinghe City. Let's set off immediately."

He didn't say much.

He turned around and walked out of the military camp.

At first, only Han Qin and Jiang Yan followed.

The remaining four Huaqing Sect disciples looked at each other, and finally followed silently.

Li Rui walked in front with a slight smile on his face.

The first step in domestication.

Achieved!

As for the general's orders.
Cao Wei did issue an order to patrol Qinghe River and the major sects in the area, but that was a month ago. Li Rui only said it now, of course he was not really so dedicated.

Just an excuse to get close to Jiang Yan.

He looked into the smoke of consciousness.

"really!"

The smoke changed from red to almost pure white.

Good news: The master who sneaked into An Ning Wei that night was no match for Jiang Linxian.

Bad news: It is most likely directed at Li Rui.

Li Rui thought in his heart.

"Is he from Ming Guangzong's side?"

He had offended someone recently, and it seemed that the only one who had the ability to break into An Ning Wei was Ming Guangzong's family.

But Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty was not crazy, so how could he do such a thing as breaking into a military camp at night?

"That's all."

Li Rui glanced calmly at Jiang Yan who was walking beside the team.

“Create more opportunities to spend time together.”

It is certainly not feasible to go directly to Jiang Linxian for refuge, so it is just as safe to stay with Jiang Yan.

Li Rui stood with his hands behind his back.

He led everyone from the east to the west of the city, and then from the south to the north.

Rest here and drink tea there.

With the physical strength of several people, this kind of work is certainly not tiring, but it is a waste of time!

Qin Hua, a male disciple of Huaqing Sect, was the first one who couldn't stand it:

"Master Li, what do you mean by this? Are you teasing us?"

The other three also nodded.

He just wandered around the city all day, what does this have to do with monitoring the underworld?
Han Qin frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that his fellow junior brothers and sisters had such bad tempers and couldn't control themselves so quickly.

I was about to persuade him, but then I hesitated.

In fact, he didn't understand Li Rui's intention in doing so.

Li Rui smiled faintly and said as he walked away, "You can't stand this."

Qin Hua snorted coldly: "We are here to restore peace to the martial arts world, not to entertain an old man like you."

"An Ning Jianghu?"

Li Rui stopped and turned to look at Qin Hua and the others:

"Then I would like to ask, what did you see today?"

Qin Hua was stunned by Li Rui's question, and then said: "It's just strolling in the city, what else can you see?"

Li Rui shook his head.

He looked like an unteachable child:
"Elder Jiang asked you to come to me, it does make sense."

"Sit down, old man, and I will talk to you."

Li Rui found a big rock by the roadside and sat down.

Although Qin Hua and his companions were confused, they still gathered around. Although there were still many stones around, they all chose to stand.

Li Rui didn't try to persuade her either.

He just continued, "Today, I took you to visit the bases of three sects, seven schools, and eleven families in Qinghe. As a night guard who collects intelligence, you didn't even find this most basic intelligence."

"Do we have to wait for the information to be delivered to our door?"

"Or do you really think we're here for shopping?"

Anyone who has been a spy knows that gathering intelligence is not as mysterious as it is portrayed in the stories. It is all about making use of ordinary things.

What about sneaking into the enemy alone and opening the treasure house.

They are all kidding.

After hearing what Li Rui said, Qin Hua and others blushed, but they couldn't refute it at all.

Because they were just walking and didn't pay attention to the clues.

Han Qin and Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.

Li Rui added: "The number of guards in front of the Mingguang Sect gate has increased from ten to twenty. It should be that an important person is coming, or there is another important matter that needs more attention."

"More than 30 people came in and out of the Zhao family within an hour, most of them were servants. They might be hosting a banquet for someone."

"Red is hung in front of the gate of Jiuyi Sect. Deputy Sect Master Xie has taken in a concubine again. Her surname should be Gao."

"."

Li Rui spoke eloquently.

This made the people from Huaqing Sect stunned.

Especially Qin Hua, who followed Li Rui all the way and felt irritated. He never expected that during the seemingly ordinary journey, Li Rui actually observed so much subtle information and could write it down one by one.

Impressive!
Qin Hua's momentum was visibly weaker.

"But... But what's the use of these trivial things!"

Li Rui still looked calm:

"The leader of the Jiuyi Sect was originally a gangster giant. The Jiuyi Sect has always been involved in dirty tricks in Qinghe. We can win over the Gao family and then obtain intelligence through them."

"Pillow talk is the most useful."

Han Qin took a breath.

Although Li Rui said it lightly, this not only requires careful thinking, but also requires understanding the situation of each sect.

To reach Li Rui's level, one has to put in a lot of effort in secret.

If you don’t believe me, try it and recite the names of eight hundred people in one breath.

There are definitely not many people who can do it.

But Li Rui can remember the situation of all the sects within the jurisdiction of An Ning Wei, and he is not just a superficial understanding.

"Young people will be taught a lesson!"

Han Qin bowed deeply to Li Rui.

Li Rui helped Han Qin up and said to the others with a chuckle, "These are all old experiences. If you want to listen, then listen. If you don't want to listen, that's fine too."

Since he showed this skill.

Qin Hua and his companions immediately became obedient.

In addition, the number of times Jiang Yan secretly glanced at him increased exponentially.

“It’s a pity that the mission has been accomplished.”

Li Rui saw all of this.

The reason why he can do all this is that he often reads miscellaneous books, has a good understanding and a strong memory, so he knows a lot of strange knowledge points that others don't notice.

It's probably just like how engineering students in the previous life liked to talk to liberal arts students about quantum mechanics.

There is an information gap.

Isn't it just a dimensionality reduction attack?
