Chapter 727: Scout Team

6 min read1,443 words

Ganzhou, Huangtu Town.

When Li came here last time, it was for a letter of help. After nearly half a

year, there is still not much change here. The Ten States War has hardly

affected this remote town in the slightest, and even the defeated deserters

are reluctant to patronize this place.

The town is regarded as the only way to Baiyao Mountain in southern Ganzhou.

If a large force enters the deep mountain, it will choose Huangtu Town as the

last foothold in all likelihood. However, Li did not find any signs of

activities of tens of thousands of people. The people in the town led a

repetitive and monotonous life, as if they were isolated from the world.

She rented an inn.

"I have searched outside, no one is watching us." Shan Hui jumped into the

room from the window and transformed back into a human form.

Li took off his headscarf and exposed the pointed ears on the top of his head,

"Very well, everyone can rest. The connector should arrive at night. If there

is no need, we should not leave the room."

In this trip with her, in addition to the old men Tengu and Gungun, there are

also the owl demon Wulie and the rabbit demon Jiulin. As a reconnaissance

team, it can be said to be able to fly and run, and it is easy to cross

mountains and ridges. The shortcoming... is also obvious, that is, everyone

needs to conceal their physical characteristics to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Among these people, Jiulin is the most special one.

She seems to be slightly different from the other rabbit demon sisters. She is

naturally more courageous. This can be seen when she was the first to stand up

and express her willingness to leave with Li and the others when she was in

Yuetai Villa. Although the rabbit demon can't run like Tengu and Li, and the

strength is only slightly greater than that of ordinary people, her natural

spells are red, which can heal various injuries, and she is the best

logistical candidate for the reconnaissance team.

Li didn't expect to take her at first. Jiulin happened to live next door to

Wulie and came by herself. According to her, she prefers to follow the days

when the Privy Department of the Secretariat is performing tasks rather than

living peacefully in one place.

As for the owl demon, his complexion is much better than before. Since his

sister has no worries about food and clothing, the smile on his face is

obviously richer. Facing Li's invitation to join the team, he did not hesitate

and agreed with one bite.

An elite investigative team composed of all monsters was thus formed.

"Boss... are you okay?" After the others left the room, Shan Hui suddenly

looked at Li Dao cautiously.

Li raised his brows, "Huh? Do I have any questions?"

The latter suddenly shrank his head, "No, how could there be a problem with

the boss... I'm worrying too much."

"Then why are you asking that?" Li squinted and asked.

"Uh... because this is the first time you have actively applied for the task

of staying away from Master Xia." Shan Hui considered the wording and replied

cautiously, "There have been several separate actions in the past, but they

were all in cooperation with Master Xia..."

He closed his mouth halfway through.

Because the survival instinct was suddenly activated.

An invisible chill swam from his back all over his body in an instant.

"Ah... I remember, the basement of the inn has not been inspected yet. In case

there are alchemists in the Privy Council hiding underneath, it will be

troublesome. Let me talk about the situation first!"

After that, Shanhui turned into Shiba Inu and ran out of the room.

After a while, Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

She shook her head and walked to the basin full of clear water, trying to

cleanse her face. Only when she saw the reflection in the water, she fell into

a daze for a while.

She knew something about what happened in Fengyang Villa. After all, she was

also one of the escorts that day, and was free to go in and out of the palace.

The difference from Mo Yun is that her hearing is more sensitive, and she also

has rolling as an eyeliner, and her intelligence acquisition efficiency is

much higher than that of others.

Although the two of them really only talked about their experience of the West

Pole that night, Li Neng noticed that Ning Wanjun's feelings for Xia Fan had

become different from before. In a way, she hopes so. After all, she is a

demon and cannot occupy the position of righteousness. Now that the princess

has an idea, she could be more positive.

The human relationship is very complicated, and she still hasn’t fully

understood it, but there is one thing Li can confirm. With the status of the

princess or the future prince, few people can shake her will, so she would not

mind Xia Fan and Xia Fan too much. The relationship with other women. Coupled

with the fact that Ning Wanjun is not mean to others, she is a rare and wise

high-ranking person, and it can be said that she is a better candidate. This

is also good news for Li.

But it was obviously good news, and there was still a little sense of sorrow

in her heart.

It's like the dots of black spots in the fifteenth full moon—even if it can't

cover up the brightness of the moon, it's not so subtle that it can be

ignored.

There was a trace of loss in this happiness, and for the first time Li left

Jinxia on his own initiative, trying to use tasks to divert attention.

Time is always the best helper to soothe emotions.

In fact, the moment she arrived in Huangtu Town, her mood was much better than

a few days ago.

After a daze for more than ten breaths, Li smiled dumbly and stretched his

hand into the water, distracting his reflection.

…

In the evening, the joint people arrived as scheduled.

To Li's surprise, it was not someone else who came, but Mu Youhong, the

original owner of the caravan. After transferring the Baekje caravan to

Lebanon, he still assumes the responsibility of operation and expansion, and

he is also busy on weekdays. Unexpectedly, after receiving Li's notice, he

personally rushed to Huangtu Town to cooperate with the investigation team.

"Master Linghu, long time no see." Mu Youhong walked into the house and smiled

instantly when he saw Li.

"Don't call any Master Linghu, just call me Li." Li waved his hand. "The mute

symbol has been placed here. Although the room is a bit small, you don't need

to worry about leaking the news. You can tell me if you have any news."

Naturally, Huangtu Town does not have any high-end wing rooms or guest hotels.

The small rooms of the inn have become the only choice for meeting points.

Fortunately, there will be no alchemist's attention in remote places, but

safety can be guaranteed.

"Then I will say." Mu Youhong bowed his hands to the others, then took out a

small map from his arms and spread it out in front of everyone. "The team you

mentioned did pass by Gansu a week ago. Baili Town, Zhouzhou. According to the

information obtained by the caravan, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com team did

not enter the town, but was stationed in the outskirts like an army. The camp

and tent stoves were all available. The number of them was very large and few.

It is said that there are fifty thousand upwards, so this news cannot be

wrong!"

Li's heart condensed.

Luo Qing's intelligence is correct, this group of people has indeed come

towards the Ganshen border!

The migration team of 50,000 people could never hide their whereabouts. Then,

as long as Wu Lie flew in a circle, he would basically be able to lock the

position of the Black Sect.

"About when will they get to Huangtu Town?" Li asked.

Unexpectedly, Mu Youhong did not answer immediately, but showed a bitter

expression, "This...I don't know below. In fact, their appearance in Baili

Town is the last news that the caravan has heard."

The fox demon was stunned, "What do you mean? It's impossible for this team to

fly without wings, right?"

Mu Youhong took a deep breath, "This is how my subordinates reported.

Overnight, 50,000 people suddenly disappeared in the countryside of Baili

Town, and no one saw them anymore."
