Chunyang First Headmaster

Chapter 72 Doubtful Points
Xiao Qianli stood up and challenged the old man.He said loudly, "Thank you, old man, for your kindness!"

He ordered: "Cheng Yuan, come here!"

Hearing Master's call, Li Chengyuan hastily drew his spear, and walked over in a hurry.

Xiao Qianli took the roast chicken from the old man's hand, slipped it into Li Chengyuan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Take the two children, find a secluded and secluded place to settle down, and wait until the work is over before going out!"

"Ah?" When he heard that he wanted to take care of the child by himself, but did not allow himself to participate in the next fight, Li Chengyuan suddenly became impatient, shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly, "Master, this is not possible, how can I take care of it?" These two little dolls..."

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw two little dolls following him step by step, raised their heads, and looked at him eagerly with two pairs of dark eyes, and couldn't speak the second half of the sentence.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Qianli couldn't help but smile lightly, Li Chengyuan was immediately discouraged, like a defeated rooster, and replied dejectedly: "I would like to obey the master's order!"

At this point, Li Chengyuan could only helplessly put the two little dolls on Qingying's back, watching them happily nibbling on the roast chicken, leading the horse with their heads down, and holding the battle gun, turning back three times at a step Leaving pitifully.

After Li Chengyuan walked away without a trace, Xiao Qianli ordered again: "Suifeng, Ah Xun!"

Both of them bowed together and said, "What is Master's order?"

"You are guarding here at the flagpole. No matter who it is, those who wanton will be killed without mercy! Those who attack will be killed without mercy! Those who snatch the corpse will be killed without mercy!"

There were three Killing Unforgiven in a row, Liu Suifeng and Chu Xun's eyes flashed, they nodded heavily and said: "Follow the master's order!"

Xiao Qianli nodded and started to leave, Chu Xun hurriedly asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Qianli said with a sneer, "I'm going to find out who the so-called merchant is. It's nothing more than raising a group of villains who collect security fees. They deliberately trafficked so many children from other places. What exactly do you want to do!"

After leaving the long street, Xiao Qianli asked a passerby for directions, and then walked straight to the south of the city.

In the southern outskirts of the city, there is a large manor house covered by green plants, covering an area of ​​no less than a thousand acres.

The climate in early spring is still relatively cold, and the courtyard is already full of towering old trees, shaded by green trees, red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent in gold and green.There was no sign of a pedestrian around.

The gate was closed tightly, and two guards holding knives were leaning on the gate post and chatting relaxedly. On the top of the red vermilion lacquered gate was a black gold-threaded nanmu plaque, with three big characters "Qingpingzhuang" written on it flying and dancing.

Xiao Qianli only glanced at it from afar, then pondered for a while, then went around to the side of the manor, trying to hide his figure while paying attention to the movement around him.

After turning around for about half an hour, Xiao Qianli's eyes suddenly lit up. Not far away, at the corner of the manor house, there was a big ancient tree leaning against the bluestone courtyard wall, just covering the top of the wall in a piece of greenery.

Xiao Qianli looked around, his body had already jumped up lightly, with a jump, a flutter, a little bit, the toes had lightly landed on the top of the green wall.

He quietly pushed aside the branches and looked in, only to see a large field, which was divided into countless small pieces of fertile black soil, and plants that could not be named grew in it.

"Sanbaicao, calming the mind and warming the mind. It can be used to refine various pills for calming the mind, calming the pulse, and warming the blood."

"Tianyanghua, dry and hot in nature, like a little fire in the heart, the hyperactive yang rises. It can be used to refine positive elixir."

"Mu Xin Ye contains a large amount of Mu Xing Yuan Qi, which is mild in nature, and can be used to refine qi-replenishing elixir."

At this time, Xiao Qianli's herbal gathering skills are only at the elementary level, and most of the medicinal materials here are unfamiliar.But just recognizing these is enough for him to enjoy it for a while.

Although Xiao Qianli really wanted to put all these medicinal materials into the treasure bag, but now he would definitely not startle the snake.

Originally, he also thought that what happened to those two children should be because some traffickers organized abduction and trafficking of a group of children, relying on begging to earn money for the traffickers.But when he discovered that among Li Chengyuan's opponents, there were several characters above the middle level of Foundation Establishment mixed in, Xiao Qianli began to vaguely feel that things were a little weird.

And what the old shopkeeper said made him even more suspicious.

"Working as a nursing home for merchants? Collecting security fees? These are reasonable, but a high-level foundation builder, in such a border town, should be a nursing home leader or an elite bodyguard, right? "

In Jiuquan, a large county in the northwest, the Liu Mansion on the rich side only has four major priests who have reached the state of transforming qi, and the leader of the guard house, Chu Xiong, is just a middle-level foundation builder.

And Ma Xiongfei, the chief escort of the Yangwei Escort Bureau in Taiping Town, has practiced kung fu for half his life, and now that he is over fifty this year, he is only slightly better than Chu Xiong.

A high-level foundation-building martial artist is just a small thug who collects protection money?Then the level of martial arts in Daxing City is too high.

Xiao Qianli's suspicions were not limited to this point. According to the old man, there were two disciples of martial arts sects who passed by Daxing City and took away a little beggar, who was assassinated that night.Let's not talk about the martial arts of those two disciples, but since they are disciples of an authentic martial arts school, are these thugs really not afraid of the other party's retaliation?

Many doubts made Xiao Qianli become cautious, so he decisively arranged for Li Chengyuan to take away the two children, and let Liu Suifeng and Chu Xun stay where they were to attract each other's attention, while he quietly touched the house. The Zhuangzi of the "big merchant".

It's not that he wants to put the two apprentices in danger, with Liu Suifeng and Chu Xun's current abilities, both of them have the ability to fight against or even defeat their opponents at the beginning level of ordinary Hua Qi. Even if a mid-level master is defeated, Liu Suifeng's Taixu swordsmanship and Chu Xun's Liujiayu are more than enough to protect themselves together.

"Is it a drug dealer?" Xiao Qianli looked at the hundreds of acres of medicine fields divided into large and small pieces, and looked around with some doubts. Watching teams of guards patrolling back and forth, doubts in his heart A few more points.

It's just the medicinal herbs that Xiao Qianli recognized, just pulling out a few plants at random is worth a few beggars' money for a year. If this is the case, why do they bother to abduct and sell children from other places?
Xiao Qianli stood quietly on top of the wall, and the huge tree canopy just covered his whole body. Unless he was standing very close, outsiders would not be able to see that there were people standing on top of the wall.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the guards patrolling around the medicine field remained the same, and Xiao Qianli remained very patiently still.

The figure in the distance was shaking, and it seemed that someone was shouting loudly. Several teams of guards cheered and rushed over in a hurry.

"It's now!" Xiao Qianli's body was like a feather, falling lightly from the wall, just when his toes touched the ground, suddenly his body flashed, and he had already passed tens of feet away.

"Three Folds of Purple Swallows" can even be compared with Yiwei crossing the river. The first stack is to gather momentum, the second stack is to flash momentum, and the third stack is to fly. It all depends on one breath of kung fu, the deeper the kung fu, the more room for this light kung fu to be used.

With this flash, Xiao Qianli flashed tens of feet, but his breath was already stale, and his body glides to the back of a big house with incredible speed, just avoiding the guard's eyes.

"No wonder this light skill is easy to learn but difficult to master. I just perform it once, and I feel exhausted, which shows that it takes a lot of money." Xiao Qianli quickly glanced at the wall where he just hid, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice—— — If it wasn't for such a miraculous lightness skill, it would take a lot of effort to sneak in without a sound.

Xiao Qianli could actually choose to sneak in late at night, but since the other party has something important to guard, they must deploy a large number of secret guards at the same time as guards.Sneaking in in broad daylight, on the contrary, can see more clearly, avoiding the trouble of secret whistle.

Taking advantage of the cover of the row of houses, Xiao Qianli searched quickly in the manor, looking from house to house, but still found nothing.

"How is it possible? There is no doubt about it?"

After searching several buildings in Zhuangzi, Xiao Qianli found nothing, and he was secretly suspicious.

"If these children who were kidnapped from outside were hidden in this manor, where would they be placed?"

"According to the old man, these little beggars appear in the more prosperous places in the city. If the released ones can be regarded as 'finished products' that can beg, what about the children who can't talk or walk?"

"Could it be that those children were not placed in Zhuangzi at all? But in a more secret place?"

Xiao Qianli was hesitant for a moment, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but feel moved.

"It's almost time for dinner, maybe there will be some clues in the kitchen."

In comparison, in such a Zhuangzi, the kitchen is the easiest place to find. Seeing the smoke rising from the roofs of three places, Xiao Qianli quickly determined the location.

The first place is an exquisite small kitchen, only seeing that the trays in the hands of the maids are all made of sterling silver, Xiao Qianli directly gave up searching further.

The second place is the cauldron stove. Dozens of guards are squatting in the yard, chatting and laughing, teasing the passing maids from time to time.Xiao Qianli just glanced at it secretly, then jumped away immediately.

The third kitchen was extremely weird, with a strong smell of medicine and milk mixed together, Xiao Qianli couldn't help frowning.

Looking from the roof, I saw dozens of identical small stoves placed against the wall in the yard. The earthen pots on the stoves were gurgling and splashing black water, emitting a strange smell of medicine.

"It's almost there!" An old man with a long beard stood in the yard, estimated the time, and ordered, "It's ready to serve."

Immediately, a few servants came forward and hurriedly took down the earthen jar, and someone came in with a large bucket of milk, and poured them into the earthen jar one by one, only hearing the sound of "chichi", the milk in the earthen jar The scalding concoction was washed with milk, and immediately gave off an even weirder smell.

Immediately, more than a dozen servants came over with bottles and carefully poured the mixed liquid in the earthen pot into the small bottle. The old man kept yelling: "Be careful, if you break the bottle or leak a little, You can’t even afford to pay for your life!”

"What the hell are you doing here?" Xiao Qianli felt more and more puzzled as he watched. Seeing those servants filled the vials and walked out of the courtyard with the vials in hand, Xiao Qianli moved inwardly and followed them silently.
