Chapter 145: Working hard all day, as if in danger

dark night.

A strong wind blew in Qinghe City, the crescent moon was obscured by a dark cloud, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.

"A dark and windy night is the perfect time to kill people!"

Qi Cheng looked at the weather outside the window and let out a strange laugh.

"finally."

He was trembling with excitement and pushed the door open with bare eyes.

Yesterday, Cao Wei received an order from Annan Town to report on his work.

The command is true.

Qi Cheng doesn't have the ability to command the general of Annan Town.

Today, the figure of the Ghost Cult master Red Ghost Boy appeared thirty miles east of Qinghe City. Jiang Linxian personally led his troops to hunt him down.

This is naturally his work.

Zhuang Renhe told him about Cao Wei's departure, so he used some of his connections to get the Red Ghost Boy to show up and lure Jiang Linxian out of An Ning Wei, giving him an opportunity to take action.

Qi Cheng pushed open the door.

The strong wind made his black robe flutter, and he disappeared into the night against the wind.

An Ning Wei, in the military camp.

A team of soldiers were patrolling the garrison with torches in hand. The torches were struggling in the strong wind, and only a spark of fire could be seen, making it difficult to see things.

In an inconspicuous corner.

A figure shuttled back and forth between the walls, without being noticed by the patrolling soldiers.

"God help me!"

Qi Cheng's eyes flashed with excitement and cruelty.

As a sixth-rank soldier, it was extremely easy for him to avoid these patrolling soldiers. Without Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei, he could come and go as he pleased in this military camp.

Even though there are masters like Ning Zhongtian, both sides are at the sixth rank.

Want to stop him?
That's dreaming.

Thinking of this, Qi Cheng became even more angry.

"I must tear that brat into pieces. No, I must turn him into a ghost!"

The ghost demon Zhang Hao has great potential. As long as he refines him every day, he will probably become a sixth-grade ghost demon in a few years and will definitely become his right-hand man.

But he didn't expect that he would be killed just after refining it.

All the hard work I put in was burned to ashes.

"Come on, come on."

Qi Cheng’s murderous intent became even stronger.

He did not waste this time.

Almost every night, they would come to An Ning Wei to check. Of course, they didn't dare to go in, but they could still find a high place to overlook the situation in the military camp.

So he knew the terrain of the military camp very well.

soon.

He came to a large residential area.

"right here."

The last time he came to An Ning Guard Station, he was discovered by Jiang Linxian and had to leave early.

So the scope is limited to this residential area.

As for the specific location, we need to search room by room.

Qi Cheng jumped up.

He jumped into the courtyard and flew under the eaves.

His eyes narrowed slightly and his ears fluttered gently, and even through the wall, he could hear the even breathing sounds coming from inside the room.

The five senses of a monster breeder are far superior to those of ordinary people.

"kill!"

A cold light flashed in Qi Cheng's eyes.

Since Jiang Linxian is not here, there is a more direct way, which is to kill them one by one. It will also be convenient for him to smell the scent of the fairy treasure from the corpses.

Just when Qi Cheng was about to take action——

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door.

next moment.

The fire is soaring!

Qi Cheng turned around suddenly and stared at the gate.

"Damn it, I fell into the trap!"

Before he knew it, he had been surrounded!

Ning Zhongtian's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Damn it, there really is someone so bold as to break into An Ning Guard. I'm going to tear you apart today!"

Qi Cheng's heart sank and his face twitched constantly.

"Ning Zhongtian!"

Moreover, he could feel that in addition to Ning Zhongtian, there were several other powerful auras.

"grass!"

Qi Cheng cursed softly, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

He decisively gave up attacking the people in the house and jumped towards the courtyard wall where there were the least people.

"Without Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei, how can you stop me?"

Although Qi Cheng was surrounded, there was no sign of panic on his face.

But just as he leaped up and stepped on the wall with his right foot—

A thumb-sized flying sword turned into a silver dragon and shot towards him.

Pfft!

The small sword had almost no resistance and pierced Qi Cheng's right shoulder in an instant.

"Well"

Qi Cheng groaned as the severe pain caused him to lose his balance and fall back into the yard.

He struggled to stand up.

There was fear in his eyes.

He stared at the small flying sword that drew an arc in the air in disbelief: "Jiang Linxian, how is it possible?!"

Since he dared to take action, he must have made sufficient preparations.

He saw with his own eyes that Jiang Linxian left the city and followed her for more than ten miles.

Make sure that Ning Zhongtian could not appear in An Ningwei before taking action.

But what is the situation now!
Just hear a bang.

Ning Zhongtian kicked the gate open roughly.

He looked at Qi Cheng, whose right shoulder was bare of bones and bleeding, and laughed out loud: "Master Jiang's methods are beyond the reach of an ordinary person like you."

Qi Cheng's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You are so good, Jiang Linxian, you actually mastered the skill of flying a sword a hundred miles away."

Yes.

Although Jiang Linxian left, he left behind a sword.

This sword was enough to kill him.

Qi Cheng let out a long roar towards the sky, turned around, and rushed straight towards the house in the yard.

"Killing a few of your An Ning Guards won't be a loss for me!"

Qi Cheng already understood that he couldn't leave tonight.

But the person who took the magic treasure and killed Zhang Hao has not been found yet, and the anger in his heart is hard to dispel.

Even if I die, I'll take someone with me.

I might as well just kill the person in the house. If it happens to be that person, I will make a lot of money, but if not, I won't lose anything either.

Ning Zhongtian took one look and immediately flew into a rage: "Old bastard!"

He was about to take action, but the small flying sword hovering in the air was faster than him.

Whoosh.

In an instant, he came behind Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng only felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head, his consciousness disappeared in an instant, and his body collapsed weakly against the wall.

A wall of red and white things was covered with cheap things.

another side.

Li Zhai.

Li Rui's room was empty, and the other two rooms in the house were also empty.

He had already entered the secret passage.

He found an excuse to send Yang Yong and Wang Zhao to the old house of the Qinghe branch.

"Ah."

"Probably dead."

Li Rui looked at the smoke deep in his consciousness.

It has returned from the blood red color to white, and it is almost pure white.

Not bad.

Everything that happened today was the result of his careful planning.

Ever since his wisdom eyes awakened and discovered the danger.

He was already planning it.

Since he can't be killed, find someone who can be killed.

The good thing about the imperial court is that there are many experts.

If he doesn't make good use of this advantage, his position as an official would be in vain.

Do you really think that he takes Jiang Yan out for a stroll all day long just to gain some experience, or to complete a mission?

neither.

He was using his keen eyes to locate the danger zone.

When he was with Qin Hua and others, he would choose some familiar routes, but when he was with Jiang Yan, he would deliberately visit some places in the city that he rarely went to.

Then gradually narrow the scope through changes in the smoke.

It was finally determined that the source of the danger was an empty house in the new city.

He had secretly checked the situation of the empty house a long time ago.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the house had been bought by a businessman from another place a long time ago and had been vacant for many years.

But a keen eye cannot be faked.

Li Rui quickly came up with a guess.

In his opinion, this method of pretending to be someone else and then buying a house as a temporary base was not uncommon.

Determined the direction.

Only then did he "accidentally" leak out the information about this person by reminding Jiang Yan.

The situation was moving forward on its own without his involvement.

Except for Ning Zhongtian and a few others, no one knew about this plan.

So everyone in this residential area was unprepared, except Li Rui.

Even Jiang Linxian didn't care, so it was impossible for a small patrolman like him to go door to door to remind people.

Although Jiang Linxian was confident, Li Rui didn't want to gamble his life.

Only then did he get into the secret passage early.

Let your colleagues take the risk.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

The next morning.

Li Rui acted as usual, pretending nothing had happened.

First, I practiced with the sword in the courtyard.

Since Yang Yong and Wang Zhao were not around, he made himself a bowl of scallion noodles and boiled two eggs.

After eating, he walked out the door as usual.

As soon as I left the house.

I heard the soldiers passing by on the road discussing what happened last night.

"Have you heard? Someone broke into our guard post last night and tried to commit murder, but was discovered by Ning Shoubei and killed on the spot."

"Who is so audacious? Aren't you afraid of implicating your entire clan?"

"I heard that he is a demon from the Ghost Sect."

Li Rui heard all the conversations between them.

"Ghost Cult"

Li Rui frowned slightly.

At first he thought someone was trying to take revenge on An Ning Wei. After all, An Ning Wei had too many enemies, and someone might have been forced into a corner. But he never expected it to be the Guiming Cult.

"Just die."

Through the mouths of these soldiers, Li Rui has restored most of the story.

Jiang Linxian was not mentioned at all. It should be that Jiang Linxian and Ning Zhongtian had discussed it long ago.

As for why we do this.

Probably to lure the snake out of its hole.

After a while.

Li Rui came to the training ground, where Tan Hu, Liang He and others were training.

Han Qin and a few others were gathered together talking about something, but Jiang Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Li Rui could vaguely hear words like "Ghost Cult" last night.

There is no doubt that they are discussing what happened in the Ghost Sect last night.

approach.

"I heard that the man had sneaked into the guard post before, but was frightened away by Elder Jiang. However, he was so bold that he still had evil intentions. Lord Ning saw through him in advance and set up a trap to kill him."

"Master Ning is very capable!"

"It is really powerful to defend against the enemy."

Several people commented.

To outsiders, all the credit goes to Ning Zhongtian alone.

I don't know.

They followed Li Rui around for a month, which was actually the key to this siege.

It’s just that Li Rui did it covertly.

Even these few participants were completely unaware and thought it had nothing to do with them.

Li Rui coughed lightly and said, "Thieves broke into the guard post last night. It was a time of turmoil. I will grant you ten days' leave. You can go home and practice on your own for the time being."

"it is good."

Several people felt warmed in their hearts.

This Senior Li is a really nice person.

But the fact is.

The potential threats are all dead, and the experience they need to have has been gained. Li Rui certainly doesn't have time to continue wasting time with these rich second-generations.

He is really busy.
