Chapter 629 Tethered Horse Island
This breath perception and recognition ability can sense people who have been contaminated within a few miles.
The miraculous thing is that the breath left behind can enter the body with the person's inhalation, and if the person's cultivation is not higher than Fu Chen, it can be retained for at least half a year.
Unexpectedly, the retained qi that had never come in handy actually appeared in Quanzhou when the half-year period passed.
As Fu Chen's gaze guided, Li Zhi spread out his sense of discovery and enveloped the position, and soon two people with slightly sneaky movements were included in the perception.
Fu Chen could only detect his own aura nearby, but he didn't see them, and he couldn't identify a specific person.
And the hiding place of these two people is very ingenious, although they are only a dozen zhang away from Tai Qinglou, they hide in a room with closed doors and windows, thinking that they are afraid of Li Zhi and others' exploration, and there is a wall to separate them.
Li Zhi was able to probe in, but Fu Chen was blocked by the wall.
Those two are both first-class master realms, although they are both looking like Orientals, but one of them has a long knife style at his waist, which is very likely to be a Japanese samurai sword.
They didn't dare to reach out to the depths, but only to the paper lattices of the paper windows in the room, where a hole had been buckled out.
If there is no purposeful exploration, it is easy for outsiders to let go of that undetectable power of exploration.
Li Zhi said in a low voice: "This is an unexpected surprise, I'm afraid that I will catch a big fish, obviously it is inappropriate to move them at present!" ”
Fu Chen shook his head, "Let's do it as soon as possible, Mr. can find out the memories in the minds of the two, as long as they find out where they are staying, at present, the breath I have left is extremely thin, I'm afraid it won't last three or two days!" ”
"You mean right away?"
"Well, without further ado, we'll leave tomorrow anyway, and if they have a secret base somewhere offshore, like Magpie Island, it's normal not to contact that side for a day or two."
"Also, we don't have so much time to follow secretly, so we simply restrain them on the spot and extract the memories immediately! It was a merchant's backyard, and the room was a firewood room, and they had apparently sneaked in, with a false lock hanging outside the door! ”
"Am the two of me going together?"
"No, you will come over later, these two people are very cautious, and they will not allow the slightest trace of their bodies to be leaked!"
"How did the gentleman get in?"
"There is a small window in the back gable, and you can only break it in."
Fu Chen was not worried that Li Zhi would make a mistake, so he got up and walked to leave him, and quietly revealed the situation inside.
When the two of them leave, he needs to stay here to protect everyone's safety.
Li Zhi found an excuse to leave, and quickly detoured to the outside of the back gable, although the front and outside were the front yards of other people's houses, he couldn't care about it.
When he found a courtyard where there was no one and explored the inside situation, Li Zhi broke through the window and entered.
The two of them were so frightened by the abruptness that they trembled, that is, the moment they were stunned, Li Zhizhi's finger wind had flashed silently,
Before they could react, the wind had already entered their bodies, and they couldn't move.
Turning back to cover the hole in the window, he carried the two of them to the outer firewood room, and without a little interrogation, after two palms, the two of them broke their dantian and fainted on the spot.
Stroking his palm between the two eyebrows, only ten breaths, has been memorized.
Flipping his hand and smashing the hearts of the two, summoning a heavenly fire, just as he was burning the corpse, the window creaked, and Fu Chen leaned in.
It didn't take long to burn, and then the sleeve robe was flicked, sweeping away all traces of arrogance.
Fu Chen raised his big finger at him, looked outside, and whispered inquiring.
Li Zhi smiled:
"Sure enough, there is such an island, called Tethered Horse Island, but it is just a nearby fishermen's gathering place, very close to the shore, and is used as a deep-sea dock! There are family members who live on fishing boats all year round, and they are pretending to be fishermen and enclosing a piece of land as a temporary base! ”
"These people are insidious enough, it seems that the incident on Magpie Island has aroused their vigilance, and they can take the families of the fishermen on Tsema Island as hostages at any time!" Fu Chen hated the authentic way.
"It's okay, let's sneak in, just as quietly. It was a courtyard, which was supposed to belong to the beginning of its establishment, or a temporary place of residence, and there was no excavation underground, and it was scattered in dozens of rooms. ”
"Shouldn't there be a lot of them?"
"There are a total of seventy-two people, all of whom are cultivators, and the highest cultivator is one third-level master, not including the two first-level masters, and there are six master-level on the island. These people are very cunning, since it is a temporary wharf, there are people on the island who buy and sell fish at a commercial price, and there will also be a fishing and hunting station of the imperial court, and the gatekeepers in the station will collect fishermen's taxes. Those people are very familiar with the station officials, and they are a great place to hide. ”
"Lianma Island is very close to the coast, isn't it convenient for news transmission in Quanzhou City?"
"That island is not like Magpie Island, but a semi-concave bay facing mountains on three sides a hundred miles away, and if we hadn't discovered it through this method, if we had only investigated it, we wouldn't have paid attention to it at all."
"Where did these people come from?"
"Among them, there are half of the Liulidao people and half of the Han people, but the leader is an Annan person, but the Chinese language is very fluent, and only one of the Liulidao people is a second-level master, who knows the details of that person! Those Liulidao people came directly from their own country, and they didn't know the specific reason except for knowing that they had established a secret base in Quanzhou Port. If we want to know more about it, I'm afraid we can only rely on those two people! ”
Li Zhi did not mention the origin of the dead widow, in fact, just like the smuggling boat intercepted in Guangzhou Port, he came from the family of the god of war on Liuli Island.
Unlike that person, the latter belonged to the inner gate, the real core disciple of the God of War family.
"Of the two people who died, there was only one widow?" Fu Chen asked.
Li Zhizhi agreed: "That person is a native of Quanzhou, but he is only a person who moved in from other places three years ago, and he opened a rice shop as a cover on weekdays, which is actually a secret report of a smuggling fleet, but he is only a person who obeys orders, and another ordinary old man in the rice store knows the contact information." However, there are several forces in the port that receive smuggled goods, and this person is the one who came forward to contact them! ”
"Haha, it looks like there's something else to be gained!"
"Well, we need to rush to that rice shop right away, remember to try not to alarm those two guys, they don't know!"
"It's a bit difficult."
"The old man is the shopkeeper, and he usually stays in the backyard, and we just go over the wall."
A moment later, the two of them were still mingling in the crowded streets, slowly walking towards the rice shop near the port.
After half a pillar of incense, they had quietly jumped into the backyard of the rice store and restrained the man without any waste.
But Li Zhi smiled bitterly after extracting his memory:
"This person can't be killed yet, in a certain position in the harbor, he must send a light message himself, so that someone will go to the joint on the second day, as for whether it is a person from Tethered Horse Island, I don't know, it seems that it will be verified tonight."
"Since I can only find Mi Xing on the second day, Mr. will take the guests to play tomorrow, and I will stay here alone and wait!" Fu Chen smiled.
Li Zhi nodded, "That's the only way, maybe there are still people staring at me, I can't stay here for a long time!" ”
"What about this man?"
"His mind has been controlled by me, so I will send the two guys outside first, and then bring them into the secret realm. Tomorrow, this person will stay in the front hall of Mi Xing and wait, and ask the Assassin Mansion to arrange two government soldiers to pretend to be guys! ”
"The several forces involved in the smuggling of goods in the port have nothing to do with that Gan Xiuming?"
"I was worried about this before, but fortunately, Gan Xiuming is not so blatant, and he can still remember his own defense! I had a showdown with him tonight, and the reason why I didn't reply to him at noon was because I didn't know why. As long as you are not involved in the smuggling industry, everything is forgivable! ”
After that, Li Yizhang slapped the old man awake, and the person who was obviously in a state of confusion walked to the door and shouted after listening to Li Zhi's instructions.
Immediately, a man ran in, and the old man ordered: "You and Xiao Liuzi each take half a liter of rice and go home, I have something urgent to leave for a few days, and you will come back in three days!" Remember to put the door on the panel before you go! ”
The fellow didn't notice anything wrong with the old man, he lowered his head in agreement, turned and ran back, happily talking to the other man, humming a little song to clean up.
When the two of them locked the door panel and left, Li Zhi stunned the old man again, imprisoned his whole body, ordered him to be qualified, and threw him in a corner of the Chaoyuan Secret Realm.
When the two returned to Taiqing Tower, everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and they were waiting for them to return.
Because there was no one to deal with, no one deliberately asked, so the group of people wandered back to the ship to rest.
In the evening, there was also a welcome banquet held by the Thorn Mansion, and most people took advantage of the fact that there was still more than an hour to rest.
Li Zhi chatted with Mi Rui, Gan Yinghao, and tea drinking while waiting on the boat.
When the people around him dispersed, Li Zhi informed Gan Xiuming of some of the information he had learned.
Seeing that this person's expression was quite urgent, Li Zhi smiled and said:
"Don't have a psychological burden on Gan Thorn Shi, as long as you have nothing to do with sea smuggling, I have no right to interfere with anything else you have done. There is a major issue involved in this, which is somewhat similar to the Magpie Island incident outside the port of Guangzhou, and you don't dare to show half a point until you can't confirm whether you have anything to do with it! ”
Hearing this, not only did Gan Xiuming subconsciously wipe a handful of sweat from his forehead, but even Gan Yinghao also became solemn as if he had palpitations.
The two of them know the terrible thing about it, the hidden people on Magpie Island, but the cultivator forces secretly cultivated by a mysterious organization, although the purpose is unknown, at least they can confirm that they want to be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of thing is a felony of rebellion against the Nine Clans, how can they not feel afraid.
Moreover, Gan Xiuming is the assassin of Quanzhou, and there are the same mysterious forces under his jurisdiction, and there is collusion with some forces in the port, so it is natural for him to be scared into sweating.
Gan Yinghao hurriedly asked Mi Rui for help with his eyes, and Mi Rui smiled and said bluntly: "Don't worry about Gan Tingshi, since you have found out, this matter has nothing to do with you." Those people are in the shadows, and they are organized and secret, so it's no surprise that they have been hidden from you! ”
After speaking, he turned to Li Zhi: "I'm very glad that Gan Thorn Shi can have this heart to protect him, so he won't fall into it, and it's understandable to do some business in the port, right?" ”
Li Zhi shook his head, faced Gan Xiuming and said: "Since it is a history of assassination, my suggestion is that it is best not to participate directly, and even the immediate family members should try to avoid it, and it is better to find a character on the stage to cover it up!" ”
Gan Xiuming hurriedly responded:
"Where did Mr. Li come from, he doesn't dare to be foolish anymore! Don't hide it, I don't know that there are smuggled goods in Quanzhou Port, but I am a later foreigner, and the locals have almost infiltrated all walks of life, so I have the intention to govern, I am afraid that before the task is arranged, the people involved have already escaped completely! ”
Li Zhi does not intend to pursue this matter, but does it mean that he can't control the port? Kernel spasm
Therefore, he raised his face and asked: "Gan Thorn History, now that all those participating forces have been exposed, I have a detailed list here, can you dare to openly govern it?" ”
Gan Xiuming puffed up his chest, knowing that he couldn't dodge, so he simply gritted his teeth and held on:
"Mr. Li, please rest assured, perhaps by taking this opportunity, the Assassin Mansion can eradicate half of the local forces in one fell swoop, which will be of great help to re-establish my prestige!"
Miri reminded him: "With me here, your hatred will be largely offset, and it will only be for you to rule over those who are involved in the smuggling of goods." ”
