Five Immortals Gate

Chapter 31 No escape

In the city, Yuanshi Mansion.

In the large living room, Marshal Hong had a happy face. He was sitting on a large wooden chair at the top of the living room with a piece of paper in his hand. "Junior brother, there is news. Li Yan finally left the Military Advisor's Mansion and entered the city today. I don't know who it is." What are you doing here?"

Under the shadow of one of the four thick pillars in the hall, the vague figure of an unusually stocky man in a soap robe emerged slightly. The pillar he was hiding in at this time was no longer where it was last time, as if it was always the same. He randomly picked a hall pillar to hide his figure behind it, and the sound of urn echoed lowly in the hall.

"Senior brother, if you calculate the time, this person has stayed in the valley much longer than the last disciple. According to the last calculation, the problem of the previous disciple should have occurred in the 7749th day. This is also It is consistent with the Buddhist and Taoist theories of building a stove in thirty-six, forty-nine and eighty-one small weeks.”

"Well, I think so too. In this way, there are two things that can be confirmed. One is that the exercises Ji Wenhe practiced are stipulated to be the Little Zhou Tianxin method that can be used as an entry-level method in 7749 days. This is undoubtedly a Taoist method. Secondly, Li Yan should have been trained by Xiao Zhoutian."

"Senior brother, these two points should be certain, but there are still two points that are still uncertain. The first is that Li Yan can cultivate to the point where Little Zhoutian succeeds, so is Ji Wenhe really used to be a successor, or is he a successor? Secondly, if Li Yan can cultivate successfully, does the death of the previous disciple mean that their internal skills are so profound that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand them? "

"Junior brother is right, these two points will still have a great influence on the next actions. If Li Yan is still used as a poison-inducing body, then we can take advantage of it; if his cultivation method is unique, then for Li Yan You must make good use of this person and study it slowly, so that even if you get the technique from this person, you will not know the secret of it."

"Then what should we do now, as senior brother?"

"Well, since he can enter the city today, there will be a next time, and the next time. This time, we can't contact him immediately, so as not to overstep Meng Lang, make him suspicious, and also make Ji Wenhe alert. , let the people below keep a close eye on what he is doing this time, and then we can make the next plan."

"Yes, senior brother"

The hall was silent, and after a while, Hong Linying disappeared.

"Captain Liu, you don't have to be like this. Fortunately, you gave me some advice last time I entered the city. I'd like to thank you for not having a chance yet."

Li Yan quickly took a few steps and held Liu Chengyong's arm.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. I don't have any advice from my subordinates. It's just a few casual remarks." Liu Chengyong couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw Li Yan's sincere face. He had also heard about Master Ji taking on another disciple some time ago. , it is said that he is from Daqingshan. At that time, the road guide that Li Guoxin showed him that day flashed through his mind, but he was not sure about it. When he saw Li Yan arriving today and was accompanied by Chen An and others from the Military Advisor's Office, he naturally understood immediately. What I guessed was true.

Although he belongs to the lineage of Marshal Zhonghong, no one in the powerful army of the third division knows what a benefit it is to be able to make friends with his disciples at the same time.

Chen An and Li Yin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They looked at each other and felt sad in their hearts. Recently, they had seen few opportunities to show this man a good look. Today, his nerves were on the line again. , why are the two of them so unlucky?

Liu Chengyong withdrew the gesture of crossing his hands, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Yan. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The boy from the mountain village he met back then is now an official of the eighth rank. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has made a meteoric rise. This is There are people in the court who like to be officials.

Li Yan had something on his mind and wanted to see Li Shan and Li Yu as soon as possible

\u003c/di\u003e

, he didn't know what etiquette to use at this time, so he could only hold his fists and said, "Captain Liu, I have some things to do when I go to the city now, how about we talk about it next time?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, make, make, that subordinate would like to send you off to Mr. Li." Liu Chengyong stepped out of the way, and the soldiers behind him also withdrew their spears and retreated.

Li Yin took a step forward and handed the horse's rein to Li Yan, "Master, please mount the horse."

Li Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's tie the horse here for now. Let's walk through the city."

Li Yin was stunned for a moment and then understood. Li Yan was afraid that his riding skills were too poor and he would get into trouble if he couldn't control himself well on the streets in the city.

Chen An laughed when he saw this, "Old Liu, we have put these horses here. You can arrange it. If we haven't shown up when you are on duty, please let the brothers on duty behind you know. "

Liu Chengyong was also a sophisticated man, so he smiled and agreed.

After they left, except for a few soldiers who were still checking people entering and leaving the city, the rest of the soldiers moved closer to Liu Chengyong. "Liu Tou, is this really the person we met some time ago? He has changed a lot since we haven't seen him in February."

Liu Chengyong also sighed, "Seriously, it seems like yesterday."

"Liu Tou, after all, you were very fond of him at the beginning. You still have these old friends, and you may not be able to take care of him in the future," said a soldier, who was also on duty that day.

"Liu Tou, my brothers didn't have their turn to be on duty with you that day. Have you really met Mr. Li?" Another person said.

"Liu Tou, is this Mr. Li the disciple accepted by Mr. Ji, who has been widely spread recently?" Several more soldiers asked.

After Liu Chengyong finished sighing, he was immediately asked by several of his subordinates and felt overwhelmed. These brothers were good at everything. When war came, they would do what they were ordered to do and they would fight when encountering the enemy. However, they were usually too lax and even lacked the concept of hierarchy. , waved his hand and said, "I have really met this Mr. Li once before. He is undoubtedly Mr. Ji's disciple. Okay, okay, you don't have to ask around anymore. I'm on duty. You, you, and You, take these horses to the door and keep them under safe supervision."

Li Yan and the other three walked quickly on the street. Li Yan was anxious and asked Chen An and Li Yin to lead the way to the "natural wine house". After half a cup of tea, he arrived at the door of the wine shop. Li Yan found the street store he came to last time and walked in, followed closely by Chen An and Li Yin.

As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed waiter came up to him and said, "Hey, three officials, do you want to drink or eat here?"

These waiters are so discerning. They are used to seeing people coming and going from north to south, and their thoughts are extremely exquisite. When they saw Li Yan and the three of them without any luggage, one of them was wearing a black robe, followed closely by the two military masters. Naturally, he knew that they were not VIP guests, but came to drink or eat.

Li Yan stopped and looked around inside. Hey, last time he was just looking from a distance. When he came in today, it turned out that what they entered was just one of the street facades of this wine shop. There were seven or eight facades lined up horizontally inside. Time opened up, it was already late noon, and many diners had almost finished eating, but there was still a lot of guessing, making orders, talking, and laughing, and it was still very lively.

"Oh, I came here to find Li Yu who is studying here. Please look for me." Li Yan said politely.

The waiter in the shop was stunned, and then carefully looked at the three people in front of him, and thought to himself, "Could it be that Xiaoyu caused trouble outside? That's not right, Xiaoyu rarely goes out."

Li Yin saw the waiter in the shop in a daze, stepped forward and patted his shoulder with his hand, "Our young master is talking about something. Are you deaf or mute?"

The waiter in the shop was startled, and immediately recovered from his confusion. Seeing Li Yin with a sullen expression, he even apologized, "Master, calm down, sir, please calm down. I'll call him now." He didn't see Li Yanzheng looking at him apologetically. He turned around and walked towards the back hall.

Li Yan had acted so unreasonably, and he had no choice but to act arrogantly to Chen An, Li Yin and a few women who were already familiar with their temperament. This kind of person who is used to fighting and killing all day long is not so good-tempered towards these ordinary people, and usually speaks with a murderous spirit.

Chen Anke saw the apology on Li Yan's face, and thought of his attitude towards Liu Chengyong at the gate of the city just now. He thought that this man was on a normal level today, and said with a smile, "Sir, these thieves are so stupid. Go ahead, but don’t miss the Young Master’s business.”

Li Yan saw Chen An looking at him with some doubts, and felt a shiver in his heart. He also understood that something was wrong with his performance today. He was now a person with a cruel temperament, so he glanced sideways at the two of them.

"I still need you to teach me about my affairs. Okay, you two stay away from me. I want to have a conversation with my brother. Don't disturb my peace."

When Chen An and Li Yin saw it, their expressions suddenly turned bitter, and they thought to themselves, "Okay, this man is sick again. Why can't he understand the good words?" ????

After a while, the waiter brought Li Yu over. Just now he went to the back hall to find Li Yu. Because Li Yu is the nephew of Manager Li here, and Li Yu is usually very diligent and serious. If you really work as an apprentice, you'll have good connections.

After finding Li Yu, the waiter asked Li Yu if he had gone out recently and if he had caused any trouble. Tell him that there is a man who looks like your noble son, and he has brought two military masters to look for him outside.

The timid Li Yu's face suddenly turned pale with fright, and he pointedly said that he had never gone out recently and had been in the back hall. He didn't even have time to help deliver tea or anything in the front hall. The waiter was relieved.

Li Yu didn't understand at first, what does it mean to be like a noble son? It's okay, it's okay if it's not, but when he came to his senses, he thought of one person, and he immediately became happy. In the past few months, people in the village had told him about Li Yan. After joining the army, he also After becoming the master of the famous Ji Junshi, with the temperament of Li Yan, himself and Li Shan who were born in a rural mountain village, not to mention the past two months, it would be another year. Do you think that wearing luxurious clothes will make you a noble son?

When Li Yan saw Li Yu, he felt excited. He had not been out of the valley for several months, and now he saw his childhood friend again. Nostalgia suddenly rose in his chest, making him miss Daqing Mountain, the small mountain village, and his parents. As well as the people and things in the village, he took a few steps to greet them.

Li Yu came to the front hall and saw a person standing at the counter from a distance. He was wearing a black robe and had an ordinary appearance, but he was so familiar. Although his temperament had changed a bit, he still recognized him at a glance and burst into tears. He ran over while whining, and the waiter next to him sighed. This child is good at everything, but he loves to cry. Every time someone from his hometown comes to see him, he always bursts into tears, as if he had suffered a lot in the store. As if aggrieved.

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, wuwu" Li Yu wiped her tears while running, which immediately caused the diners around to stop their movements and start to watch. \u003cb

\u003c/di\u003e

r\u003e

Li Yan was also excited, his eyes were a little red, and he hugged Li Yu who rushed towards him.

Chen An and Li Yin looked at each other, and then Chen An quickly walked to the waiter.

"Xiao Er, there is still a private room, let my young master and his old friend come in and talk!" The two of them saw that there were too many people here, and it was not a place to talk, not to mention that half of the older children were crying here, and others still looked at it. Somehow it happened.

The waiter quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, there are them on this floor and on the second floor."

Chen An looked at the busy diners on this floor and said, "Then let's go to the second floor!"

He walked a few steps to Li Yan who was comforting Li Yu and said, "Sir, there are many people here and it's noisy. Let's go to the private room on the second floor to talk."

Just when Li Yan felt that it was noisy here and couldn't talk to Li Yu properly, he was very happy when he heard what Chen An said. He thought in his heart, "This Chen An is really a person who knows how to do things and has a clear mind."

They followed the waiter to a private room on the second floor. After the waiter brought a pot of tea, he was invited out by Li Yan. Then Li Yan asked Chen An and Li Yin to wait for him outside the hotel, but they never expected to be greeted by Chen An and Li Yin. Li Yin refused. On the grounds of protecting Li Yan's safety, they could not leave Li Yan's side for a moment. In the end, they had to be locked out of the door, and Li Yu was left alone to talk to Li Yan in the room.

After two cups of tea, Li Yan looked at Li Yu reluctantly again, and then rushed to the "Iron Pavilion" with Chen An and Li Yin. After the same happy meeting with Li Shan, Li Yu stayed After waiting for someone to come to the village next time, he took dozens of taels of silver back to the village and handed them over to his parents. After wandering around the city for a while, Li Yan bought a set of clothes, then left the city with Chen An and Li Yin, picked up the horses and returned. Military Advisor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the valley, Li Yan felt a spiritual consciousness coming from Ji Junshi's house. It quickly scanned his body, then carefully passed it around the newly bought clothes package in his hand, and then disappeared. trace.

Li Yan pretended not to know, and deliberately glanced at the first stone room. When he saw that the door of the stone room was closed, he muttered a few words and walked towards his own stone room.

After entering the room, Li Yan poured a glass of water with a relaxed expression, drank it, sat on the chair and rested for a while, then stood up and closed the door.

After closing the door, Li Yan felt it again and found that no consciousness appeared, and his face darkened.

Today's move into the city made him confirm the following points:

First, Chen An and Li Yin were indeed placed under surveillance by Ji Junshi. On the surface, they were respectful and a little afraid of him, but when they were outside, they would not let him escape. Their sight of control. Needless to say, they almost sandwiched him in the middle to "protect" him to avoid Meng Guo's "careful assassination".

Even when meeting Li Yu, the farthest distance between them was outside the door of the private room of the wine shop. Moreover, through the cracks in the door and the window, Li Yan also found that one of them was outside the door and the other was opposite the private room downstairs of the wine shop. If he secretly jumped out of the window, he would be discovered immediately. The same was true when they were in Li Shan's "Iron Pavilion". They stood dozens of steps away from where he and Li Shan were talking, and their every move was within their sight.

Secondly, Master Ji has taken precautions against himself. He deliberately bought a set of clothes today. When he came back, he found that his consciousness would detect new items that suddenly appeared, so that he would have everything under his control.

Li Yan couldn't help frowning when he thought of this. He was under house arrest. How could he escape from this deadly valley?
