Screaming the sky with swords

The bearded man laughed indifferently when he heard the words, and said: "Hey, you ask this, in fact, this is a well-known thing in Hongnong City, let me tell you???" Next, the bearded man So he told the story of the Wu family's extermination again, the general content is similar to what the shop Xiaoer said.

After Zheng Lingxiao listened, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he picked up a dark, oval-shaped object with some small holes on it and asked, "Uncle, what is this thing?"

The bearded man glanced at the thing, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey, I don't know what it is, to tell you the truth, these things are all from some ancient tombs or some ancient caves. It was dug up, you took this thing, we have studied it for a long time, and we don’t know what it is, so we put it out to see if there is anyone we know.”

Zheng Lingxiao snorted, and then said: "How much is it, sell it to me, hehe, I am most interested in these strange things, what if it is a treasure."

The bearded man smiled honestly, and said, "Hehe, ten gold coins, little brother, I didn't mean to cheat you. In order to get these things, we killed a few people, so??? Hehe."

Zheng Lingxiao didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile, put the thing on his stall after a while, said "go", and was about to leave. The bearded man became a little anxious when he saw it, and immediately shouted: " Brother, do we have something to talk about, hey, let me tell you, these things he???"

Zheng Lingxiao interrupted unceremoniously: "Uncle, I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. Since your business is dishonest, what else can we talk about." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave again.

The bearded man grabbed his sleeve again, looked left and right, and said quietly: "Little brother, aren't you interested in the affairs of the Wu family? How about this? Let me tell you some unknown news. And the price of this thing, do you see???”

Zheng Lingxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Okay, but let's say it first, if your news is of no value or if you are playing me??????"

"Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied!" The bearded man slapped his chest, and then he asked someone to look at the stall for him, and then led the three of them to a relatively quiet tea house on the side of the street.

After everything was ready, the bearded man said in a low voice: "Little brother, do you know what the identity of the Wu family was before?"

All three shook their heads, the bearded man smiled triumphantly, and said: "Hey, let me tell you, they were arranged by Yunhe City ten years ago! You can find out by asking around, that the Wu family came here ten years ago They settled down in Hongnong City, and became one of the three major families in just one year. However, they are different from the old local forces. What they rely on is not the number of people, but their strength. The strongest of the Wu family They have already reached the fifth level of sword masters, and there are as many as six sword masters of other ranks, which makes the other two families dare not easily make enemies with them."

After hearing this, Zheng Lingxiao chuckled, and said: "Even so, it doesn't mean that his Wu family was inserted by Yunhe City. You know, such a powerful family is not Chinese cabbage."

"Hey, but it's hard to hide where such a big family comes from. You can find out after a little investigation that they are from Yunhe City. After analyzing the situation there, it's not difficult to come to this conclusion. The answer." The bearded man said.

Zheng Lingxiao pondered for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Since the Wu family is a spy planted by Yunhe City, then they must have spent a lot of effort and paid a lot of money, but why did they send people to destroy them?"

The bearded man took a sip of his tea and said with a mysterious smile: "Little brother, it's easy to guess. Under what circumstances would you personally destroy the forces you've worked so hard to build up?"

The first brother answered without hesitation: "Then there is only one situation, betrayal!"

The bearded man raised his thumb, flattered and continued: "That's it, the Wu family has long had a rebellious heart, and has already contacted the city lord's mansion here, and even betrayed several of them. In our stronghold in Black Wind City, and because of this, Yunhe City cannot tolerate them!"

Zheng Lingxiao nodded and said: "It makes sense, but uncle, these are all top-secret news, how do you know, could it be??????"

The bearded man interrupted Zheng Lingxiao's next words at once, and said: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense. Although these news are relatively secret, they are not top secret. For those who really care, if you want to It's not difficult to find out, hehe, these news can also sell some money by the way, can't they?"

Zheng Lingxiao nodded, and continued to ask: "If your news only reaches here, then to be honest, it is worthless, because it has no other use except to satisfy curiosity."

The bearded man was taken aback when he heard the words. He never expected that the other party would say such a thing. After pondering for a moment, an inexplicable light flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and he asked, "What price can you offer?"

Hearing this sentence, Zheng Lingxiao finally showed a smile on his face, and thought: "Hehe, how could the temperament of a scout escape my eyes? A scout came to sell groceries, hehe." Pretending to think After two seconds, he said again: "I want all your news, money is not a problem, I'm afraid your news is worthless."

Hearing what Zheng Lingxiao said, a smile appeared on the face of the bearded man, and he said in his heart: "My feeling is indeed right, this kid is definitely not what he looks like on the surface, maybe he was sent by the City Lord's Mansion of Black Wind City Spy, in this way, I can ??????" Pretending to ponder for a moment, he looked at Zheng Lingxiao and confirmed again: "Are you sure you have enough money?"

Zheng Lingxiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a [-] gold ticket. The bearded man's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head with a smile on his face, and didn't speak. This time the two brothers were a little surprised, what kind of The news is so expensive!

Zheng Lingxiao's face remained unchanged, and he added [-] gold, but the bearded man still shook his head, and added another [-] gold, but the other party continued to shake his head.

Zheng Lingxiao did not continue to add more this time, but looked at the bearded man with a half-smile, and also did not speak, but the meaning was already obvious, and the bearded man also knew that he should bring out some real products, and once again confirmed four No one was there, so he whispered to the three of them: "If you can destroy a force like the Wu family in just an hour, it means that the force dispatched by the other party is extraordinary. Although we have not received specific information, However, it can be analyzed that only three organizations in the City Lord's Mansion can achieve this level in Yunhe City. The captain of the guard is a sixth-level swordsman in the outside world, but we guess more than that, and the lowest cultivation level of the rest of the team members is also a seventh-level swordsman, and their combat effectiveness and cultivation level are absolutely matched of!"

Having said that, he paused, and continued: "Second, punishment guards, this is specially used in Yunhe City to punish traitors or those disobedient forces, the number of them is about fifty, and the captain of the guards They are also level [-] swordsmen, but the rest of them are weaker than the city lord Tiewei, mainly because there are not as many swordsmans at the level of Tiewei."

"Thirdly, the secret guard directly under the city lord. This guard is very mysterious and basically unknown to the outside world. However, we have some news about them. There are about 30 secret guards. They mainly perform some tasks that cannot be understood by outsiders. For example, assassination, we speculate that the captain of the guard may also be a sixth-level swordsman, and there are also many swordsmans, the exact number is unknown."

After saying this, the bearded man just looked straight at the child in front of him, and stopped talking. Zheng Lingxiao smiled slightly, pushed the fifty thousand gold over, and gestured to the bearded man to continue talking.

The bearded man was taken aback when he saw this, and then he gave a wry smile. He knew that this time the other party wanted him to show the news first, and then give the money, so he muttered: "Little brother, you are so smart." After a pause, he continued. : "The iron guard is the guard of the city lord, so it is naturally impossible to come out to carry out this kind of mission. The hidden guards usually take actions against external forces. Therefore, it is very likely that the punishment guards who came to execute the extermination of the Wu family this time, so let's come Let’s focus on this punishment guard.”

Having said this, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "In the face of the punishment guards, it was impossible for the Wu family to fight back, but after the autopsy, it was found that those middle and low-level swordsmen were all hit. A kind of poison such as ecstasy and medicine caused them to lose most of their strength, and high-level swordsmen were targeted. For example, the fifth-level swordsman was attacked by two people. We deduce that it should be the captain of the punishment guard and Deputy captain, that's why the Wu family lost so quickly, but judging from the battlefield situation, those two people should also feel bad, and I'm afraid they were also seriously injured by that dying blow."

Zheng Lingxiao suddenly said: "In that case, the punishment guard should have returned to Yunhe City by now, after all, almost a month has passed."

The bearded man chuckled, and said: "You guessed it wrong, the punishment guards didn't go back, of course, it wasn't that they didn't want to go back, but they were stopped by the people of the city lord's mansion, and now they are in the lotus outside the city. Hidden in the mountains."

At this time, Wenren Qiaoer suddenly stopped and said, "No, you are not lying to us, since the punishment guards have already been stopped by the people of the city lord's mansion, how could they not be eliminated? , don’t tell me that the people in the City Lord’s Mansion are all idiots.”

But the bearded man sneered, and said: "Little girl, you don't think that the other party is not fully prepared to carry out such a big task, right? He couldn't escape, so he had to hide in the complex terrain of Lianhua Mountain, first to repair and heal his injuries, and second, to wait for rescue. The main reason why the people from the City Lord's Mansion didn't go to Lianhua Mountain to search was to deal with the reinforcements from Yunhe City. Go, the battlefield is on the border, and you can see it anytime you go!"

Zheng Lingxiao nodded, and said: "Since it's been so long, those people's injuries may have been healed, why don't they come out, go to the border to attack the people of the City Lord's Mansion on both sides, maybe There are also unexpected gains."

The bearded man sneered again, and said: "The city lord is not an idiot, although he can't get away, but there are fifth-level mercenary regiments in the city, if you promise a lot of money, those mercenary regiments will spare no effort to search for them, so , The punishment guards have never had any chance to settle down, and they have been fighting all the time. Just five days ago, one of their sword masters was killed and his body was brought back."

Speaking of this, the first brother suddenly gave him a thumbs up, jokingly said: "Uncle, you are really shrewd, you have already confirmed that you are a punishment guard, but you still insist on telling us something City Lord Crane's three guards took [-] gold in vain, if you say this, I'm afraid your business will be difficult in the future."

The bearded man smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, and said: "Hey, brother, don't you want to be angry? After all, it's not news about Chinese cabbage, right? In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't even know the specific news about the three major teams. Well, right?"

Zheng Lingxiao was not interested in talking nonsense with him, and said lightly: "Keep talking!"

The bearded man coughed dryly twice.He continued: "As of yesterday, 23 punishment guards had been killed, including three sword masters, all of whom were done by the three major mercenary regiments. If this continues, I estimate that it will only take ten days at most. Wei is about to be killed!"

Then, the scene became quiet. Zheng Lingxiao tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then asked: "You said that there is still a hidden guard in Yunhe City, so seeing that the punishment guard is about to be killed?" Don’t tell me, wouldn’t they make a move? Also, Yunhe City also has a high-level mercenary regiment, wouldn’t they use this power?”

The bearded man gave Zheng Lingxiao a thumbs-up, and said: "Of course there are, but they are all resisted on the border, because the city lord has issued tasks to help guard the border in the nearest cities, and now they are gathered at the border There are already hundreds of mercenary regiments on the Internet, and the number exceeds ten thousand. If you are interested, go there and have a look to find out, what I said is true."

After the bearded man finished speaking, he stared at Zheng Lingxiao, rubbed his hands, and said with a chuckle: "Brother, this is how the situation is. You look at the money behind you??????"

Zheng Lingxiao took out another [-] gold and said: "The news before you is not worth this price at all, so I will give you [-] for all your news. Well, you should not be dissatisfied."

The bearded man didn't say much, he just walked out lamenting, and then the three of them also left. After returning to the inn, the first brother said: "Xiao Wu, do you think the news is reliable?"

Zheng Lingxiao said: "It should be reliable, that person is a scout at all, and I'm sure, he has already felt that our cultivation base is not low, so he is willing to disclose those news to us."

Wenren Qiao'er was very surprised, and said, "You mean, he told us the news on purpose instead of selling it to us!?"

"Of course, such precious news, don't you think it's really only worth a hundred thousand? Hehe, under normal circumstances, I'm afraid you might not even be able to buy one million." Wenren Qiaoer was about to speak, but he raised his hand Interrupted, and continued: "You know, the news from the three guards is extremely accurate, do you know how much it costs to inquire about such news, and how much risk it takes to send such news out, In addition, not every cat or dog can know the specific location of the punishment guard, but he made it so clear, even the number of the opponent's death and the number of strong men are so clear, do you think such news is ordinary? Can people know it?"

The first brother also widened his eyes when he heard the words, and said in disbelief: "Then, why did they send us such news? They must not be out of their minds."

"Hey, don't you guys still have trouble thinking about it? They are the people from Hongnong City's City Lord's Mansion. The reason why they did this was ordered by the City Lord. I think about the arrangement of Yunhe City, our city lord has already notified the city lords of the other cities, and they are all aware of the seriousness of the problem, and Hongnong City is particularly important, so here The city lord of the city wants to wipe out this force of Yunhe City, and he will lose a big threat in the future." Zheng Lingxiao explained.

Wenren Qiaoer shook her head and said, "Oh, it's really complicated, so what are we going to do next?"

"Today we have already dealt with everything that needs to be dealt with, and also supplemented everything that needs to be supplemented, so let's go to the Lianhua Mountain tomorrow, hehe, don't forget, the two little guys Xuanyue and Xiyue It's still there, maybe this is another excellent battle experience for us." Zheng Lingxiao laughed.

From a distance, Lianhua Mountain really looks like a huge blooming lotus. It covers an area of ​​about tens of thousands of square kilometers. There are sixth-level monsters, and of course, there are many treasures of heaven and earth among them. There is a local saying, "Once you enter the Lotus Mountain, you will be on the second level of life and death. There is great terror inside, and there is also great opportunity."

The three of them walked slowly towards the mountains and forests, as if they were strolling in a garden. It was early morning, and the dewdrops were still hanging on the leaves, giving people a refreshing and comfortable feeling. However, at this moment , but some inappropriate voices came from not far away.
