Chapter 165 Yuan Hao (two in one)
"Xu Yuan. Someone is following us."
After walking a certain distance, Ran Qingmo suddenly said via voice transmission.
The voice was very sudden, and Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words.
The alleys in the slums of Pingshuiwan are long and narrow. The longer alleys are about twenty feet long, and the shorter ones are about seven or eight feet long. The fork roads are intricate and difficult to track.
However, after hearing Ran Qingmo's voice, he subconsciously ran his kung fu to look back, but with his sixth-grade cultivation base and the addition of the Blood Origin Heart Falling Art, he still had nothing to gain.
Frowning, Xu Yuan asked via voice transmission:
"Strong?"
Ran Qingmo pondered for a moment, then shook his head:
"It's not very strong. Listening to his breathing and heartbeat, it should only be around the seventh grade."
Xu Yuan was quiet for a moment.
Qipin follows Liupin without being noticed, especially his innate Taoist body can also detect the mind and soul out of the body.
Thoughts surged, I glanced down at the faintly visible footprints on the ground behind me, and I knew it clearly, but then I squinted my eyes.
Paused, he chuckled softly:
"It seems that the person following us should be a veteran."
"Do you want to get rid of him?" Ran Qingmo asked very naturally.
Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo, and the corners of his lips twitched.
The world today is not peaceful, especially in some prefectures, a beautiful woman like Ran Qingmo will always have trouble finding her when she travels in the rivers and lakes.
A group of people who were chaotic in the previous life until the millennium, not to mention the current world.
Walking outside, black hands are a necessary condition.
Just like the stick she hit him back then.
However, regarding Ran Qingmo's suggestion, Xu Yuan shook his head:
"No, let's go back and find him."
Say it,
Xu Yuan undid the restriction on the saint's remnant soul, and almost instantly, the familiar subwoofer sounded.
Very resentful.
"Boy Xu, although I know some things that are inconvenient for the old man, do you know how I have spent the past ten days? The inside of the soul ring is dark and cold."
"Okay, okay, it's ten thousand years away?"
Xu Yuan was a little dumbfounded: "Lend me to use your soul power."
"tsk"
The saint's remnant soul smacked his lips, and while releasing his soul power, he muttered brokenly: "I won't say much, old man, I have worked so hard to help you, remember to help me find a good apprentice."
Xu Yuan shook his head, but he didn't expose him. The moment his mind and soul connected, Xu Yuan found the person who was following him, and took Xu Xinyao into the sky, and landed in front of him in a short time.
“.”
The deserted alley, silent.
Looking at the three people in bamboo hats that appeared in front of him in an instant, the following man took a step back subconsciously, but his expression hardly changed.
Seeing the other party's reaction, I have a general idea in my heart.
This is a rather robust young man, about twenty-seven or eighty-eight, with ordinary features, like an ordinary farmer.
"Scout?"
Xu Yuan asked directly without any nonsense.
Stalking veterans like the other party are either local gangsters or army scouts. Judging by the opponent's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, it is mostly the latter.
If it is not the latter, just kill it.
The gang leader is following them, especially with Ran Qingmo and Xu Xinyao around, there is a high probability that they don't want to make friends with them.
The man's reaction was very calm, he just clasped his fists together:
"The young master came to look for the wolf head?"
Xu Yuan knew that he was matching the password and said with a smile:
"No, I came to find the monkey."
There was a moment of silence, and the man knelt down on the ground respectfully with fists folded:
"Meet the third son."
Xu Yuan waved his hand:
"Get up and lead the way."
The man immediately got up when he heard the words, took two quick steps, and said softly:
"Third son, Commander Yuan has been waiting for a long time."
Led by the man, the three of Xu Yuan walked several blocks and came to a high-walled courtyard with someone's handle. Two imposing stone lions stood on both sides of the entrance, and ripples could be seen faintly on the courtyard wall.
Sure enough, no matter how poor the place is, there will be rich people, but this kind of place should not be bought.
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the man beside him.
The man saw Xu Yuan's eyes and explained in a low voice:
"Third Young Master, this is the residence of the leader of the Pingshui Gang. Well, the Pingshui Gang is the largest gang in this area, controlling the unloading and gambling at the dock, as well as the flesh and blood business."
After finishing speaking, he motioned for the nursing home to open the door.
The courtyard door opened and went deep into the courtyard. Xu Yuan smiled unconsciously.
Launching a war is not just as simple as mobilizing troops. Intelligence, materials, silver, etc. all need to be fully prepared.
Xu Yinhe made a decision, the following began to work, and the various branch forces coordinated with each other.
The Pingshui Gang should be the handiwork of Lou Ji's subordinate Black Scale Guards. I didn't expect them to have a secret in Vientiane City.
Xu Xinyao looked around, also deduced this point, and said softly:
"Third Brother, the leader of the Pingshui Gang is the Black Scale Guard?"
"should be."
Xu Yuan nodded: "It seems that Auntie Lou Ji is more capable than we imagined."
The chaos in the slums is for outsiders, but for the natives here, they are basically neighbors.
Because the slum area is too big, and there are many "projects" inside to attract tourists, hundreds of new faces may not attract attention suddenly, but there are thousands of people in a short period of time, and it is impossible for local snakes not to notice here.
The reason why local snakes can exist is most likely because they have "communication" with officials. However, the name of Vientiane City after Vientiane is naturally inextricably linked with Vientiane Sect.
During these stressful times, it's easy to set off a chain reaction.
Xu Xinyao nodded in agreement, "No wonder Yuan Hao was able to secretly transport people in."
As the residence of the leader of the largest gang, although it is far inferior to the Xiangguo Mansion in Jingjiang City, it still occupies a large area.
After walking through several courtyards, a group of people entered the back hall where the host lived.
Small bridges and flowing water, cloud pavilions and elegant pavilions, and stone roads leading to the front hall.
Suddenly,
A middle-aged man with mixed black and white hair came out from the hall ahead, with a scar on his face and a vague killing intent.
It fits the temperament of the gang boss in Xu Yuan's impression.
The scout leading the way immediately introduced in a low voice:
"Third Young Master, this person is the leader of the Pingshui Gang, so the villain will retire first."
"Well, let's go down."
Xu Yuan nodded, stopped walking and watched the other party approaching.
"Bai Zhao, I have met the third son."
The middle-aged man did not kneel down when he came close, but bowed his hands deeply.
This is probably the difference between the Black Scale Guard and the Black Scale Army.
Tianan Martial Arts Hall not only teaches martial arts training methods, but also cultivates the collective consciousness and loyalty of these people, the loyalty to Xu Yinhe alone.
The specific method was specifically demonstrated by the staff of the Xiangguofu, which was subtle and did not cause resistance from these apprentices.
And after leaving the Tian'an Martial Arts Hall and entering the collective of the Black Scale Army, this kind of subtle influence will be carried out more carefully.
When they see the direct descendants of Xiangguo Mansion, most of them will kneel down and salute.
The Black Scale Guard of Lou Ji is different from the Black Scale Army. Most of them use common goals and interests, as well as death threats after betrayal, to tie them tightly together.
The game turned into reality. After understanding these things, Xu Yuan always felt that this old man was a pure man from heaven.
A protagonist in a world completely different from Qin Mo.
From a small family in Jingjiang Mansion, it has developed step by step to today's giant
Some think too far,
Xu Yuan looked at the middle-aged man with half-white hair in front of him, and smiled:
"Where is Commander Yuan?"
"Commander Yuan is here." Bai Zhao smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Yuan took the lead, and Bai Zhao followed beside him.
Paused for a moment, Xu Yuan looked at the servants in the yard and asked softly:
"Is it okay for these servants to see us?"
Bai Zhao smiled when he heard the words, and said:
"It doesn't matter. They are either illiterate deaf people nearby, or they are confidantes cultivated by villains over the years."
"Deaf-mute?" Xu Yuan was surprised.
Bai Zhao smiled very frankly:
"It can gain a good reputation, and it will not leak the secret."
While walking, Xu Yuan glanced at the other side deeply, and asked:
"Did you develop the Pingshui gang by yourself?"
Bai Zhao smiled very modestly:
"It's just a fluke, the villain can't have today without the support of Lord Yi Tian."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Yi Tian, a subordinate of Lou Ji's old aunt, a small boss in the early stage of Cangyuan Zhongxie Road.
Obviously, the person in front of him is not of high status in the black scale position, and he is not worthy of direct contact with Lou Ji.
But this did not affect Xu Yuan's appreciation of the other party, because he could feel that the cultivation of the person in front of him was only a seventh rank.
A 7th rank in his forties is likely to be weaker when he is young. It is impossible for the Black Scale Guard to pour too many resources into this kind of seed that he sprinkled casually, and he has no force to establish such a large gang here. , then it is only a means.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan said:
"very nice."
When Bai Zhao saw the other party's actions, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his fists respectfully and said in a low voice:
"Thank you, Third Young Master, for your compliment."
Xu Yuan shook his head, continued to move forward, and asked softly:
"This time, how many people did Commander Yuan bring into the city?"
"More than 3,500 people."
Bai Zhao replied without thinking.
Although the commander of the Yuan Dynasty only told him that the third son would come, he didn't mention what the third son was here for, but under such a situation, it is impossible for the third son to come here with nothing to do.
So, the third son must have come to sit in the town.
After all, it seems that there is going to be a war.
Hearing the number three thousand five, Xu Yuan was a little surprised at the large number of people, but immediately raised his eyebrows:
"How to place?"
"Most of them are hidden in Pingshui Bay, and the villain arranged for the rest to go to inns in various places in the city. The spiritual blade weapons accumulated by the villain for more than 20 years are barely enough." Bai Zhao replied truthfully.
Xu Yuan opened his mouth when he heard the words, but before he could speak, he suddenly saw a little girl with braids running out of the backyard, followed by a panicked woman.
The little girl shouted happily while running towards Bai Zhao:
"Daddy."
“.”
When Bai Zhao saw the little girl, there was a look of kindness in his brows and eyes, but he didn't immediately go up to her, but first took a tentative look at Xu Yuan who was at the side.
Xu Yuan shook his head to indicate that nothing happened, and Bai Zhao stepped forward quickly.
The father and daughter laughed for a while, Bai Zhao coaxed the daughter away, and returned to Xu Yuan:
"The girl who came late made the young master laugh."
"No problem."
Xu Yuan smiled lightly and asked aloud:
"Didn't you send your relatives away in advance?"
"It's too dangerous." Bai Zhao replied truthfully.
Xu Yuan looked at the back of the woman holding the little girl and left, and asked:
"It's dangerous to stay in Vientiane City now, right?"
Bai Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said:
"No, third son, I mean the plan. The villain has a special status, and his relatives usually live in the city. Someone may be watching. Sending them away at this time may destroy Lord Xiangguo's plan if they are discovered."
“.”
Silence.
Xu Yuan squinted his eyes, and looked up and down again at the middle-aged man with half-white hair.
The 3,500 black-scaled troops entering the city, no matter whether they actually fight or not, are all swords to be shown on the negotiating table.
In other words,
Afterwards, Wanxiang Sect will investigate 100%.
It is not discovered now because Wanxiangzong has not found any traces of large-scale mobilization of the army, and it is not yet vigilant.
If you really want to investigate it, there is a high probability that you will find the head of the Pingshui Gang.
If Zongmen really wanted to deal with this kind of underground gang in the city, it would be to crush an ant to death.
Thinking so far, Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, but he didn't speak, and walked forward in silence.
After being patted on the shoulder, Bai Zhao just followed silently, but there was an imperceptible smile in his lowered eyes.
Walking to a courtyard,
Bai Zhao saluted Xu Yuan again:
"Commander Yuan is inside, and the villain will leave first."
Xu Yuan nodded and said:
"You arrange a yard for the two of them."
He was not going to let Xu Xinyao participate in this discussion.
Ran Qingmo didn't speak, but nodded silently.
Xu Xinyao objected when she heard the words:
"Third brother, me too"
"Be obedient." Xu Yuan glanced back at her, his eyes could not refuse.
Xu Xinyao still left with Ran Qingmo.
Xu Yuan watched the slim backs of the two girls gradually walk away, and slowly pushed open the courtyard door in front of him.
There is a pool in the yard, in which koi fish swim, the clear water is clear, and there is a pavilion in the center of the pool.
Stepping in, Xu Yuan's eyes immediately locked on the man in the pavilion.
He has a handsome face and looks very young. He is wearing a Confucian robe, sitting in the pavilion, burning a small stove, warming wine and drinking alone.
Confucian scholars?
Xu Yuan's eyes were a little surprised, and he looked around subconsciously, wanting to see if there were other people in the courtyard.
The man had already put down his wine glass at this time, stood up and saluted Xu Yuanyao at the gate of the courtyard:
"Don't look at the third son, Yuan Hao is here."
“.”
Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at the man in the pavilion again, walked towards the pavilion, and said:
"The appearance of Commander Yuan is somewhat unexpected."
The handsome man smiled lightly:
"Is it because Yuan's appearance doesn't match the rumor that he likes killing people?"
"Somewhat."
Xu Yuan nodded, walked into the pavilion and looked at the man in front of him:
"Compared to the general leading the army, you are more like a Confucian scholar in the Imperial Academy, and you are too young."
There will be more updates at night
