In the tent, there were several tents that were far more luxurious than others, and Qu Xi took Liu Heng and six others to stand quietly in front of the curtain of one of the luxurious tents. He was silent, and even forbade others to make noise, only letting everyone wait outside the tent quietly with him.

It was only when everyone's heads and shoulders were covered with snowflakes and everyone except Quxi waited impatiently that they heard a lazy voice from the tent.

"Coming?"

The voice sounded like it had just woken up, and there were vague murmurs of a few women, which were also lazy, sultry, and imaginative. Qu Xi suddenly cheered up when he heard this, and he also revealed flattery through the door curtain, "Qiyu Gongzi, the younger one will bring a few people first, if the son thinks it is not enough, I will go and recruit it again." ”

"Well, then you can go ahead and leave the people behind. After the third prince of Qu in the luxurious tent casually gave a word, he frolicked with the women in the tent, and for a while the warblers whispered, laughed and scolded angrily, and they were even more sultry.

Qu Xi respectfully agreed, cast a threatening look at Liu Heng and the other six people, and quietly retreated. No one in front of the tent paid attention to Liu Heng and them, only listening to the continuous frolicking in the tent, and the remaining six people looked at each other outside the tent, and their faces gradually became not very good-looking.

After all, no matter what, they are all masters of one side, and they will be respected and courteous wherever they go, and everyone feels humiliated if they are so neglectful.

"Well, Jill, bring the new kid with you. ”

This time, I didn't wait too long, and the voice of Qu Sangongzi came from inside the tent, as if he was ordering the people in the account to come out to receive Liu Heng and others. They listened to a soft female voice, and the curtain was finally lifted, revealing the warm spring heat inside.

What came out was a woman, with thick hair and a beautiful face, and a body as soft as a willow. From the moment she came out, the curtain of the door was half-hidden, and everyone vaguely saw that the red in the tent was flying, and the beautiful spring light of the woman was faintly revealed, so that several men were looking straight and their throats were rolling without knowing it.

"It's only six?" The delicate woman who came out glanced at Liu Heng and the others, frowned slightly, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "How is this enough?"

Then she moved lightly, took the lead and walked forward, and said lightly: "Come with me." ”

The six of them did not move, and their faces were cold. The hottest temper among them was a good sword player, surnamed Zhang Mingju, who stood outside the tent and raised his voice straightforwardly, "Qu Sangongzi's score is too big, and he didn't even see his face, so he sent us away with a concubine?"

"Do you have an opinion?"

He obviously had a loud voice, but if he hadn't heard it in the account, he was still playful, only the woman in front of him had a cold face and asked coldly.

"What if I have an opinion?" In this case, Zhang Ju was even more angry, and said angrily: "Qu San Gongzi doesn't want to see us, you might as well say it directly! With our strength, we can eat anywhere we go, but we won't be snubbed! In this case, I, Zhang Ju, can only say goodbye to Qu San Gongzi!"

He clenched his fist into the tent and strode towards the outside of the tent. Not only him, but two of the six people also hugged their fists into the account, following him to leave, leaving Liu Heng, the Jin family lady and Li Xiucai alone, looking calmer than them, but in fact, they seemed to have their own plans secretly.

"Presumptuous! Come as you say, leave as you say, what kind of place do you think of our Qu family?"

The woman's apricot eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, and with a coquettish sound, her body was filled with an astonishing aura of power. But seeing that as her gaze went, the figure of Zhang Ju and the three who were about to leave suddenly froze on the spot, and then gradually trembled, showing extreme pain and panic on their faces, and they couldn't stop the beads of sweat in the cold winter.

Almost at the same time, Liu Heng and Li Xiucai secretly condensed their soul qi to their eyes, and they saw completely different scenes.

In the void, the yin wind raged around Zhang Ju and the three of them, among them, the ghosts and demons roared and roared, constantly interspersed with their bodies, but it was a spell that hurt people's souls.

It was none other than this woman who seemed to be a concubine!

"At least the strength of the peak of the scholar!"

The soul cultivation master at the peak of the Shizi realm is willing to be a concubine of the third prince of this song, which makes Liu Heng also secretly surprised in his heart, "Or, the concubines who accompany the third prince of this song are all masters of this realm...... Who would have thought that concubines were also the strongest guards? If this is the case, the strength of these families is probably even stronger than I thought. ”

Liu Heng still remembered that when he met Shen Jiadao, a descendant of a wealthy family in the Holy Land, his guards were only a martial artist and a scholar, at most his strength was better than Qu Sangongzi's concubines, but he was a master of the same realm.

In comparison, it is a difference.

Of course, speaking of which, the strength of Zhang Ju and the three is not weak, if they can resist, even if they are still invincible, they will not be so passive. It's a pity that they didn't realize that the clothes of the Qu family's guards on their bodies had actually been secretly banned a long time ago, and when they wore them, they were quietly imprinted into their bodies.

Just now, the master concubine called Ji'er didn't know what method she used, and she had already activated the prohibition in the three of them, making them unable to move in an instant, and this was the end where they were tortured but unable to fight.

As soon as this prohibition entered the body, Liu Heng noticed it, and found that his internal force was enough to disperse, so he pretended not to notice it, did not break it without authorization, and let it stay in his body.

Just now, he didn't turn his face like Zhang Jusan, and there was also this reason.

From this point of view, he is not the only one who discovered the existence of this prohibition, Li Xiucai and the lady of the Jin family also seem to be aware of it, but they just pretend not to know, which is interesting.

"This prohibition is enough to trap masters below the martial artist realm and the bachelor realm, and I dare to pretend that I don't know because I can easily break it with my internal strength that surpasses the peak of martial arts. These two dare to do the same, I don't know what extraordinary means are hidden, but they also have such confidence and courage?"

He was secretly pondering, but there was a look of horror on his face, as if he was shocked by this concubine.

"Fortunately, Qu Sangongzi is in a good mood today, otherwise a disrespectful subordinate like you would not be as simple as a slight punishment. It wasn't until the three of them begged for mercy that Jill accepted the spell and sneered: "Let you have a long memory today, you need to remember that from today onwards, your identity is the descendant of the Qu family, and you are no longer a rotten person in the rivers and lakes." If you don't know how to be obedient and obey the rules, some of them will suffer for you!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, remember, never dare to do it again!"

The three of them were like amnesty, but their souls were greatly injured, but they were still busy holding up their spirits, bowing to Jill again and again, and thanking for the forgiveness.

"Here are three healing soul potions, take them. Seeing this, Jill finally softened his tone and threw three delicate jade bottles at the three of them.

It's really both graceful and powerful, this trick is really old-fashioned, and after the punishment is over, he will send the wound medicine, which will naturally make the three of them grateful.

"As for you. Ji'er Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Liu Heng and the others, "You are not as stupid as them, I hope you can continue to be so smart." ”

In her opinion, it is easy to clean up the trouble, and it is Liu Heng who is so shrewd that makes it more worthy of vigilance.

"Now, can you come with me?"

"Yes!"

In any case, when such a concubine came out to deal with them, everyone didn't feel so humiliated, and naturally agreed in unison.

There was such a commotion outside the tent, but there was still no reaction in the tent, and the frolic continued, until they followed Jill away, and there was no other movement.

From beginning to end, they didn't even see the face of Qu Sangongzi, they only heard his voice, but they didn't see him.

"Leading the concubine to play in the tent all day long, where does it look like an arrest of a criminal?" Liu Heng also sighed in his heart when he saw this, "But if the three families sent to hunt down Uncle He are all such characters, it would be a good thing." ”

Entering this camp, Liu Heng has been carefully investigating, and found that most people are not very concerned about the pursuit. Especially the sons of these three families, they are basically the same as Qu San, and the scene he originally thought was completely different.

I don't feel the tension or urgency of arresting the key criminals at all.

"I'll just say that with the strength shown by the three families, plus the strong men of the Blood God Sect and the imperial court, it will not be possible to catch Uncle He for more than three years. But these families seem to be coping with things, and they can't work hard, and they want to come to He Bo to spend three years safely, and thank these families. ”

As for the rumored envoys of the Blood God Sect, as well as the powerhouses of the imperial court, I haven't seen one in this camp, and it seems that they are not here, "There should be several similar camps." ”

According to the current contact, the major families sent are all gentlemen, and they don't ask them to do things, just to share some credit when they catch the key criminals. And the powerhouses of the imperial court and the envoys of the Blood God Sect are the ones who really do things, and they should have known their attitudes towards these families for a long time, so they have long given up on these sons and let them live here blindly.

Guessing the situation from various clues, Liu Heng didn't say a word in the crowd, and silently followed Jill out of the camp, but he was gradually moving away in the mountains and forests, constantly ascending.

Walking to the top of a mountain, Ji'er and Li Xiucai, two soul cultivation masters, were a little panting, sweating slightly, and saw the scene of this mountain top in full swing.

Hundreds of people are busy here, struggling to carry large blocks of ashlar as if they were building a tall tower.

"What is this doing?"

Liu Heng was also stunned, and couldn't help blurting out, "Isn't it to arrest the imperial court?"

Jill glanced at him and said disdainfully: "What do you know, the terrain of this Stacked Mountains is complicated, and the criminals hide in it like a fish in water, so they haven't been arrested for a long time." Because of this, the sons were far-sighted and thought of such a way, just build towers in a few important places, and they can send people to monitor the movements of the Quartet from time to time, so that the martial artists and scholars can have a lot of leisure, and even more so that the criminals have nowhere to hide!"

This!

Hearing this, all six of them looked shocked.

For the sons of you to have such a whimsical idea, Liu Heng was stunned, and there was only one word left in his heart.

He was convinced.

It is no wonder that the arrest of He Bo is so exciting, but there has been no result so far. In the hands of the people who wanted to arrest Uncle He, the major families could be said to account for most of them, but they didn't care about tracking down, but they spent all their minds on these strange things, and it would not be strange that it took three years without results.

And everyone can see that most of the people who are busy at this construction site are the descendants of major families, and most of their strength is below the martial arts realm. When the mountain stone is excavated, it has to be polished into squares, and a piece of it weighs thousands of catties, so that these people can polish and carry, and Rao is martial arts is also a hard job.

The tall tower in front of him has begun to take shape, more than a hundred zhang high, and it is still being built upward, Liu Heng roughly estimated it after looking at it, "Yes, a large number of people, I am afraid that the past three years have been wasted on building the tower." ”

This appearance made Li Xiucai look weak, "It won't be for us to carry it, right?"

He is a soul cultivator, where can he do such hard work?

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do such menial work. Jill's words finally relieved everyone, "Let you come, it's to take over the work of the guards in our house." You are responsible for keeping an eye on these subordinates, and you can't let them steal and play tricks, and secondly, assign good men, always keep an eye on the Quartet, and if anyone can find the traces of the court's criminals, report to the prince immediately, and there will be a heavy reward at that time. ”

When they heard that it was such a job, they were faintly happy, but it was much easier than they had guessed before they came.

The work of stalking is definitely boring, but it is much better than letting them fight with the court of the martial arts realm, at least there will be no worries about their lives.

Only Liu Heng frowned secretly, this was not the situation he wanted.

If he was trapped here, how could he find He Bo in advance, and how could he come to the rescue at a critical time?

However, there was no other way now, and there should be more than a month before the incident, so he calmed down after a little pondering and did not raise any objections.

As for Jil, she took over from the other concubine who was watching the camp, replaced her and returned to the camp and stayed on her own. Her duty is obviously to be in charge of the process of the entire construction site, and then keep an eye on Liu Heng and them.

In the following days, it was far calmer than Liu Heng had expected in advance, and there was no other movement except for rotating to the top of the tower to inspect the mountains and forests in all directions.

Looking down from the tower, he could only see the mountains and forests like the blue sea, and there were few changes, which were even more boring and difficult than he imagined.

Of course, occasionally you can see people moving in the mountains and forests, but it seems that the people of the imperial court are swimming around, busy searching for the traces of He Bo in the vast mountains and forests.

This is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack, in Liu Heng's opinion, it is just trying his luck, as for Uncle He, he didn't find any news at all.

Such days have passed for more than a month, and the time for Madame Bi to assert is getting closer and closer.

In the New Year, everyone rarely spends a day at the camp. They were given a feast by the sons, and countless maids walked through it, and the wine and food were presented like flowing water. As for the sons, it is like a grand event, frolicking and celebrating, and it is very lively.

After the New Year, it was a repeat of the original boring days, as for the camp where the tower was built, Liu Heng had never seen a son come to take a look, and he became more and more speechless.

"But these towers ......"

It's another night, it's Liu Heng's turn to be on duty, he is on the top of the tower, squinting at the tower below, and there are countless black shadows of the tower that can be seen not far away, "Who did you deceive when it was the movement of the important criminals?"

If there is no miscalculation, the 18th month of the month mentioned in the hexagram of Lady Bi seems to be the day when the towers are built! )
