Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 263 The rising moon on the sea

One after another, the horse-drawn carriages of the Wu Kingdom delegation drove past the city wall.

"Documentary?"

"Sir, please take a look."

The soldier guarding the city took the document and frowned: "You are new here, why do you look so unfamiliar?"

"Yes, yes, it's my first time doing business."

The soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but take a closer look. Seeing that the documents were fine and the other members of the caravan were familiar faces, they waved their hands and said, "Go in."

Followed by a clear sound of "Hello".

The carriage started slowly again.

Go all the way through Qinghe Street, and then start unloading the goods at the location designated by the Municipal Trade Bureau.

Two men walked into their shop in the market.

“It works pretty well.”

Yuan Gao chuckled.

He doesn't need to disguise himself like a disguise, he can just walk on the street and fool everyone.

"The illusion is really brilliant."

He was amazed in his heart.

The art of illusion places great emphasis on talent, and there are very few illusionists walking around the world. Even Yuan Gao was witnessing the power of illusion for the first time.

The other man was naturally the Lord of Lingluo City.

The Lord of Lingluo City sat casually on a wooden chair, feeling somewhat disgusted that the rosewood chair was not worthy of her.

As for hiding it from the city guards, she didn't care at all.

Just as Yuan Gao was about to find a place to sit down, Madam Ling Luo suddenly spoke up: "So, how long do you plan to keep the Immortal Master's affairs secret from us?"

"!!"

Yuan Gao's pupils contracted slightly.

The movement froze.

'How would she know??'

Yuan Gao was extremely sure that he had never mentioned the word "Immortal Lord" to Madam Ling Luo.

He turned his head suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"You used an illusion on me?!"

Madam Ling Luo raised her lips slightly: "It was just a trick. Elder Yuan was indeed very cautious. It took me half a year to succeed. You should feel proud of yourself."

"you"

Yuan Gao's expression instantly turned ferocious.

He was already thinking about whether or not to just attack and kill.

If the Ghost Cult knew that he was the one who leaked the secret, he would be unable to even die.

Madam Ling Luo looked at Yuan Gao with contempt: "I think it would be better for Elder Yuan not to take action. I am not strong enough, but the Qi family still has experts."

Yuan Gao glanced at his men in the shop outside the house.

Obviously, Madam Ling Luo had brought other powerful people with her without telling him.

And he knew nothing about all this.

"What a terrible scheming."

Yuan Gao had been plotted against by the woman in front of him without realizing it, and he had no idea about it at all.

Madam Ling Luo's tone slowed down: "Elder Yuan, don't be so nervous. I won't tell anyone about this. I will even do my best to help Elder Yuan capture Jiang Linxian alive, but as a reward, you need to promise me one thing."

Yuan Gao narrowed his eyes slightly.

If he had 30% confidence, he would kill the woman in front of him without hesitation.

But he knew very well why Madam Ling Luo told him only after she arrived in Qinghe.

This was because she had already arranged means of dealing with the situation here, and also because this place was far enough away from the Nine Soul Dharma King.

So even though it seemed like this woman was within reach, there was no chance that he could get her. Not even a cent. He took a deep breath.

"What conditions?"

Hearing Yuan Gao's words, Madam Ling Luo smiled even more:

"I want to meet the Immortal Lord."

Meet the Immortal Lord? ?

Yuan Gao was confused and had to continue asking, "Why do you want to see the Immortal Lord?"

Madam Ling Luo said as a matter of course: "Of course I admire the power of the Immortal Lord. I need other reasons. Besides, your sect and my Qi family are from the same clan. You know some legends, and we know them too."

"By the way, don't try to fool me."

"Tell me the truth. I have already cast an illusion spell on you. If you dare to tell anyone, I promise you will die miserably."

Yuan Gao's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

There was a long silence.

He then slowly spoke:
"Okay, I promise you."

"That's right," Madam Ling Luo smiled even more, "Don't worry, you guys want to capture Jiang Linxian and Li Rui, I will take care of them, just consider it a gift to the Immortal Lord."

Done.

Madam Ling Luo supported her chin with one hand and looked at the birds flying in the sky like a girl in love.

"The Immortal Venerable should be good-looking."

Yuan Gao looked at Madam Ling Luo and his expression became strange.

Are you going to see the Immortal Lord?

I'm afraid this is going to cause the Immortal Lord to sleep!
"Xiaobai, are you saying that Qi's people are investigating?"

Li Rui returned to the room and looked at the little white dragon that had turned into a small snake.

"Yes."

Little White Dragon nodded repeatedly: "It was those little demons under my command who told me. Don't worry, big brother. I sent them away, and father doesn't know either."

"Xiaobai always does things properly."

Li Rui praised the little white dragon.

With the help of the little white dragon, the Qi family will no longer be able to trace the crime back to him.

"By the way, Xiaobai, are you saying that you were attracted by the treasure in the hands of the demon hunter?"

"That's right. I just felt the aura of a real dragon, so I followed it, but ended up being tricked by that kid named Duan."

Little White Dragon now knows it from Li Rui.

Who was the one who attacked it that day?

On the way here, he told me the whole story.

Many days later, when the little white dragon mentioned this matter, he still gritted his teeth. How could it tolerate someone wanting to catch it and use it as a mount?

Li Rui seemed to be thinking about something.

At first, he thought that Duan Yu had gotten into trouble simply because of greed, but now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

According to what Xiao Baijiao said.

It didn't happen to be near the military camp, but was attracted there.

What is the identity of Xiaobai Jiao?
He doesn't even look down on ordinary treasures. If a monster hunter can come up with something that can make the little white dragon excited, then he still has the point of being a monster hunter.

Is it fun to tie your head to your belt every day?

With such treasures already available, who would risk their life?

So Li Rui guessed that there might be someone deliberately planning behind the scenes, just to borrow Lao Jiao's knife, and Duan Yu just happened to fall into the trap and became bait.

It's really bad luck, but it's not unfair.

If it weren't for his greed, so many people wouldn't have died in Anning Guard and Yunzhou Guard.

If Anning Guard and Yunzhou Guard are damaged, who will benefit?

Of course, it’s those rebels from Wu Kingdom.

To be more specific, it should be someone from the Qi family, or even the mayor of Mangu City.

After all, at that time, An Ning Wei was less than fifty miles away from Man Gu City. If it weren't for the monster tide, they would have completed the encirclement with other armies by now, and there would not be the current situation.

'Good means. '

Li Rui was secretly shocked.

I've heard that the female city lord is very capable, and she is indeed amazing.

If he had not formed a bond with the little white dragon by chance, he would have had no idea that there was actually an invisible hand controlling everything behind the demon tide.

This trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife may seem simple, but being able to do it without anyone noticing takes real skill.

"Okay, Xiaobai, you will live in this room from now on."

After Li Rui learned the information he wanted to know, he planned to get up and leave.

He is not Wang Zhao, so he does not have the habit of sleeping with a monster in his arms. Little White Dragon looked at Li Rui who was leaving with a closed door, reluctant to leave.

A look of resentment.

Go back to your room.

Li Rui then sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to practice.

"Entering the sea, observing the waves, and rising the bright moon are the three stages of observing the sea."

Li Rui has just entered Guanhai, and is naturally still in the stage of entering the sea. The so-called entering the sea means continuing to nourish qi and strengthen the qi sea. Only when he truly has the aura of the sea can he activate the qi sea to wash his body.

When the whole body is clear, it is the rising bright moon and the time to enter the prenatal state.

Because Li Rui took the Mermaid King's Tears, his foundation is much more solid than that of the average Guanhai Realm warrior.

The progress of entering the sea is naturally faster.

Li Rui knew that practicing martial arts was something that could not be rushed.

The fifth rank is considered a small master in the martial arts world.

Why?

Because when one reaches the fifth rank, one is qualified to establish a sect, and many friends in the martial arts world will come to congratulate him.

Others were convinced after hearing this.

Please note that this is the founding of a sect, which is completely different from the previous Tiandi Alliance which gathered a group of rabble.

If anyone dares to set up a sect without even practicing the fifth level, not to mention being laughed at by the people in the martial arts world, he will also be overwhelmed by those who come to challenge him.

You can do things according to your strength.

Now Li Rui has become a junior grandmaster and can be considered a respectable person.

Looking at the entire Qinghe River, they are already one of the top few.

The night is dark and windy.

County government.

After the Shen hour, it was time to roll the clock. Apart from a few patrolling yamen runners, the place was deserted, not a single person could be seen.

In the past, County Magistrate Zhuang liked to live in the backyard.

The lights are often brightly lit, and the sound of the pipa can be heard all night long.

Now, it seems much quieter.

The new magistrate of Qinghe had not yet been determined, and the interim county magistrate Zhong had not yet taken office, so it was not possible to occupy the house legitimately, so it was left abandoned.

The famine lasted for more than half a year.

in the dark.

Two figures wandered in the shadows in the corner of the county government building.

Silent and breathless.

The patrolling yamen runners didn't notice anything at all.

After a few breaths.

Two figures came to the backyard of the county government office, which was previously the residence of Zhuang Renhe.

"right here."

Madam Ling Luo raised the corners of her mouth slightly and walked straight towards the east wing.

The east wing is usually where the owner lives.

Placed in the county government office, it was naturally the place where the county magistrate slept and rested.

The house was deserted and all the things had been moved out. The room was not locked, so Mrs. Ling Luo walked into the room with almost no hindrance.

The room was empty, except for the furniture that couldn't be moved.

Yuan Gao followed Madam Ling Luo in silence.

tonight.

Madam Ling Luo suddenly came to him and asked him to come to the county government office.

He also didn't know what Mrs. Ling Luo was up to.

Madam Ling Luo was groping around in the room as she said, "Elder Yuan, I just like making friends. I met someone a few days ago who happened to work for Master Zhuang before."

"That young man told me that before Master Zhuang died, he asked him to follow a man named Li Rui."

"But the strange thing is that Li Rui left the city that night and told Lord Zhuang the news."

"Not only did Lord Zhuang not take any action, he also told him not to meddle in other people's business."

"Then."

"Master Zhuang is dead, and the people he sent to follow Li Rui are also dead."

"Elder Yuan, do you think this is strange?"

Yuan Gao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is the person you are talking about called Zhuang Da?"

Madam Ling Luo kept moving her hands and smiled more: "It seems that Elder Yuan also knows him?"

Yuan Gao took a deep breath.

After Zhuang Renhe died, not only the Ministry of Justice of the imperial court was investigating, but also the Ghost Cult.

The man named Zhuang Da is Zhuang Renhe's confidant.

Originally, he also wanted to find Zhuang Da to find out the situation, but not long after Zhuang Da finished his questioning by the Ministry of Justice, he mysteriously disappeared.

It's just that the imperial court was busy sending troops at the time, so no one cared.

Now it seems that he was clearly kidnapped by the woman in front of him.

"What a deep conspiracy."

A hint of fear flashed across Yuan Gao's eyes.

Obviously, Madam Ling Luo had already made some arrangements in Qinghe at that time, which enabled her to take Zhuang Da away before the Guiming Sect.

And it has been kept secret for so long.

If he had not been deceived by the illusion and revealed the matter of the Immortal Lord, he might not have known in his life that Zhuang Da was actually abducted by Madam Ling Luo.

Madam Ling Luo did not even look at Yuan Gao and continued, "Master Zhuang is not an immortal and does not have the ability to pass through walls. Why did he suddenly disappear from the room and die outside the city?"

"I guess there should be a sun here."

I haven't said it out loud yet.

Then a slight clicking sound was heard.

As Madam Ling Luo let go of the wooden frame, it began to slowly turn and a dark hole appeared.

Madam Ling Luo smiled even more: "This should be the secret passage."

She glanced at the wooden shelf.

There should have been something placed on the wooden shelf, but it was later taken away. However, the mechanism was still preserved and was not triggered. The design is quite ingenious.

But she still found out.

Madam Ling Luo smiled at Yuan Gao and said, "Elder Yuan, let's go and see what Mr. Zhuang is hiding."

As the wooden frame rotates.

The cave entrance is closed.

The two walked along the secret passage and soon came to a secret room.

Madam Ling Luo looked at the secret room and narrowed her eyes slightly:
"It seems that this Mr. Zhuang is not honest."

She looked at the rows of torture instruments on the wooden rack with interest.

This secret room is like a small interrogation room.

Who did Zhuang Renhe spend so much effort to build such a place for interrogating?
Yuan Gao naturally also saw the torture instruments, and his face became extremely ugly. Needless to say, Zhuang Renhe must have evil intentions and was hiding something from the Guiming Sect.

"What on earth is he going to do?"

Madam Ling Luo rolled her eyes, very charming:

"I'm not an immortal, how would I know?"

Madam Ling Luo looked left and right before she spoke: "I think our Master Zhuang must have known the Immortal Lord's secret. He wants to catch Jiang Linxian and Li Rui before the Immortal Lord does."

"It's just that Jiang Linxian is too strong, so he set his target on Li Rui."

Yuan Gao nodded: "That makes sense."

He became even angrier after hearing what Madam Ling Luo said.

If it weren't for Zhuang Renhe, the traitor, acting behind his back, maybe the task would have been accomplished long ago.

Jiang Linxian and Li Rui have both been sent to the Immortal Lord.

Mrs. Ling Luo smiled.

She suddenly remembered the incident with the old dragon. Although the old dragon and the young dragon kept their mouths shut, she was unable to find out any information.

But she remembered that among the officials who dealt with the demon tide incident, in addition to Jiang Linxian, an official named Li Rui seemed to be among them.

coincidence?
