The days when I opened a tavern in Zongwu

Chapter 109: Li Changqing can be said to be professional when it comes to diverting misfortunes eastward.

The moment he entered the alley, the breath-absorbing powder appeared in his hand for the first time and was inhaled into his body with internal force.

As the breath-condensing powder entered the body, Li Changqing waved his long sleeves and stirred up his internal energy. The smoke was just like the mist exhaled from his mouth during his breath, appearing and dispersing in the air.

After some white medicinal powder was scattered silently, Li Changqing's figure suddenly rose up as his internal energy was running, and in a few steps he crossed a distance of several feet and turned to another alley.

After placing the wooden box on the ground, Li Changqing took out the Yanling knife in the box.

The long knife was slowly unsheathed, making almost no sound.

Just like that, at the corner of the alley, Li Changqing waited with a knife in one hand and slowly adjusted his breathing.

Soon, in Li Changqing's perception, the sound of footsteps came into his ears.

But the footsteps were very light, so light that ordinary people couldn't hear them at all.

If Li Changqing hadn't strengthened his physique today, and his five senses had also improved due to the cultivation of internal strength, and the silence in the alley, it might have been difficult to hear such subtle footsteps.

And there is also a wave of internal force fluctuations at the tenth level of the Houtian realm that are vaguely emerging, but the fluctuations are also very obscure.

Sensing this fluctuation of internal energy, the seriousness on Li Changqing's face suddenly eased, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​using the "Ding Peng Character Card".

But the hand holding the handle of the knife became a little tighter in an instant.

The next moment, a figure rushed into the corner of the alley.

It was also when this person had just stepped into the corner of the alley that Li Changqing suddenly exerted force on his right hand, and the Yanling Saber in his hand was instantly unsheathed.

The snow suddenly appeared, and the blade cut through the air.

The unsheathing of the long sword even has the shadow of "The Art of Drawing the Sword", it is extremely fast and shining to the extreme.

There is an indomitable and decisive momentum in it.

But when the blade rose, the lightning-fast light suddenly stopped, hovering impartially in front of the figure who had just stepped into the corner.

The cold blade hung in the air, an inch away from the throat.

It was obviously the first time I held a sword, but I had already mastered the Yanling Saber in my hand like an arm.

The blade stayed in front of his neck. The blade was already cold, and it became even colder in winter.

Cold enough to freeze the blood in the human body.

Looking at the light on the blade from the corner of his eyes, the man standing at the corner stiffened, and all the internal energy running in his body was retracted into his dantian as if he was frightened, shivering together with his master.

Just as Li Changqing expected.

The person who entered the alley was the candied haws hawker that Li Changqing had seen through the reflection of the blade.

To this day, this vendor still holds a straw target filled with candied haws in his hand.

After coming out of his daze, the vendor's body began to shake, whether intentionally or unconsciously, as if he was really frightened.

When he looked at Li Changqing, his tone was trembling.

"Old, uncle, little man, little man, I don't know where I offended the uncle, spare, spare my life!"

I have to say that this vendor’s expressions and reactions were very real.

He is so real that he is just like a real hawker, timid, frightened and even humble, all just right and penetrating.

Li Changqing glanced at the purple gas that suddenly emitted from the hawker's cheek. Li Changqing didn't say anything, but the blade that was originally an inch away from the hawker's throat came closer again and pressed tightly against the hawker's neck.

The cold touch made the vendor tremble and subconsciously raised his head.

This shiver is much more natural than before.

Seeing this, the vendor opened his mouth and was about to speak.

However, before he could say what he had thought out, the vendor suddenly felt as if he had eaten the wrong thing and had indigestion in his abdomen. First, there was a burst of gas, which made his stomach bulge slightly.

Then, a strong cramping pain quickly came from the bulging abdomen.

It felt like something in the abdomen was tearing out my intestines.

The sudden and intense pain caused all the words he had just thought of to turn into screams of pain.

The instinct of pain made the vendor subconsciously raise a hand to cover his stomach as if he wanted to squat down.

But the moment his knees bent and his body sank slightly, a tingling pain came from his chin.

At this time, the hawker remembered that his neck was still holding a cold blade.

Thinking of this, the vendor who was just about to squat down was so frightened that he straightened his legs and raised his head higher.

At the same time, a slight warm feeling suddenly came from the chin.

Coupled with a slight sting, the vendor realized that just now, the blade had broken through the skin of his chin and cut into the flesh.

The pain in his jaw and the constant pain in his abdomen made him feel like cold sweat slid down the vendor's raised cheeks and hit the ground.

He wanted to use the internal force in his body to suppress the unbearable cramping pain in his abdomen.

But what frightened the vendor was that although the internal energy was in his Dantian, there was no response to his mobilization.

It was difficult to mobilize internal strength, and the pain in the abdomen was unbearable.

In this situation, the hawker couldn't help but said in a horrified tone: "When did you poison me?"

Li Changqing's hand holding the knife remained motionless, and his eyes looking at the vendor were full of indifference.

In response to the vendor's inquiry, Li Changqing didn't say a word, but looked at the vendor quietly.

But this calm and even indifferent look made the hairs on the vendor's back stand up instantly.

Within ten breaths of time, whether it was because of genuine fright or pain, the blood on the vendor's face had already completely faded away.

The humility just now was no longer there, only the fear became more obvious on his face.

Finally, Li Changqing's voice rang out.

"It's still early. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I can wait slowly."

Yun Danfeng's gentle voice reached his ears, and the hawker said with some difficulty: "I have a girl in my family who is waiting for me. I just saw that the young master looks like Pan An, and I want to come over and ask him to find a husband for my little girl." , definitely not malicious.”

Hearing this, Li Changqing smiled softly and said: "In that case, could you please introduce your girl to me more, so that I can see if your girl is a good match?"

Hawker: "."

Now he was poisoned, and he didn't know what it was.

If you really follow what Li Changqing said, even if you don't get poisoned if you introduce him for a while, he will probably faint from the pain.

Gritting his teeth, the vendor's tone became more pleading.

"The villain really has no intention of harming the young master. I ask the young master to be noble and let the villain go."

Li Changqing raised his eyebrows.

"Pretty tough."

After thinking for a moment, Li Changqing moved his left hand lightly, and a ray of energy instantly pulled some snow on the ground behind him and fell into his hand.

When the snow turned into snow water in the palm of his hand, some medicinal powder quickly appeared in Li Changqing's hand.

Under the package of strength, these medicinal powders mixed with snow water suddenly turned into a ball of medicinal liquid.

When the hawker couldn't help but let out another cry of pain, Li Changqing flicked his fingers, and the liquid wrapped in energy was instantly injected into the hawker's mouth.

The sudden scene made the hawker feel shocked and he quickly closed his mouth and wanted to push the thing out of his mouth with his tongue.

But the thing that fell into the hawker's mouth was actually a medicinal liquid wrapped in energy.

When the vendor touches the tongue, it actually melts in your mouth like pork belly that has been steamed in a steamer for nearly three hours.

The medicinal liquid actually went down the throat and entered the abdomen.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Facing this scene, the vendor was shocked.

Li Changqing said slowly: "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I can only find a way on my own."

As he spoke, Li Changqing used his fingers to connect the acupuncture points on the vendor's body.

After the vendor who had been hit on the acupuncture point could not move, the medicinal liquid that had just entered the man's body began to turn into waves of warm currents on the way through the intestines and began to go straight up to the top of his head.

This feeling was like suddenly opening the window and blowing in the cold wind after drinking heavily. The alcohol rushed all the way to the top of his head, making the man suddenly become confused as if someone had hit his head with a hammer.

Seeing the hawker's reaction, Li Changqing thought, and silver needles appeared out of thin air in Li Changqing's left hand. Then Li Changqing inserted them into the Sishencong, Shenting, Benshen and other acupuncture points on the hawker's head.

As the fingertips flicked on the tail ends of these silver needles, these silver needles trembled rapidly.

It is a unique acupuncture method that comes with the medical skills of the Holy Hand.

"Nine needles of Shenting".

Acupuncture is inserted into acupuncture points to treat damage to the soul.

However, any method in the hands of a doctor is always a double-edged sword.

It can both heal people and kill people.

The nine needles of Shenting can calm the mind or disturb the mind.

If used properly, it will have the same effect as the "Soul-Transferring Technique" and "Soul-Capturing Technique" in the world, and it can control the consciousness and even behavior of others.

If there is the right medicine, Li Changqing can even use Shenting Nine Needles to tamper with other people's memories, and it is guaranteed to last for a long time.

With this method and the medicine used by Li Changqing, unless the spiritual energy and substance are condensed into smallpox among the three flowers of heaven, earth and man, it will be difficult to resist.

Trying to hide secrets from Li Changqing is tantamount to wishful thinking. As the silver needle trembled and the medicine in his body took over, the pupils of the vendor's eyes began to slowly move in their sockets, his eyes numb and lifeless.

At this point, Li Changqing asked: "What's your name?"

When the question came out, the vendor in front of him said in a vague and numb tone: "Ding Haiguang."

"identity."

"The Ninety-Third Secret Envoy of the Xuanzi Secret Agent of Hulong Villa."

"Hulong Villa?"

Li Changqing frowned slightly.

Hulong Villa was founded by Tiedan Shenhou under the order of the late emperor. It has four spies under its banner: Tian, ​​Di, Xuan and Huang.

Since the person in front of him is the Xuanzi secret agent of Hulong Villa, it goes without saying the identity of the person sent.

What puzzled Li Changqing was how could He De, an ordinary person from a remote place, be able to contact the Tietan Shenhou who was far away in the capital, and even arrange for someone to come over and spy on him.

However, just as Li Changqing's thoughts were running subconsciously, the vendor in front of him, Ding Haiguang, spoke again.

"Killer No. 111 on the 103rd floor of Qingyi Building."

"Ok?"

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment when he learned the identity of the other party.

Afterwards, Li Changqing's expression suddenly became a little weird as he reacted.

"Interesting, there is actually a double agent?"

After pondering for a while, Li Changqing asked: "Did Hulong Villa arrange for you to infiltrate Qingyi Building, or did Qingyi Tower arrange for you to infiltrate Hulong Villa?"

"He was originally the secret envoy of Hulong Villa, and was ordered to join Qingyi Tower to lurk and collect information."

After confirming the force that the other party was truly loyal to, Li Changqing's face turned serious.

According to Bai Xiaosheng's introduction to Zhu Wuwu's Hulong Villa.

What Hulong Villa is best at is collecting information about the royal family, court officials, soldiers and even other surrounding countries, so that the court can better manage the country and deal with other countries besides the Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that the hands of Hulong Villa are not only involved in the imperial court, but also have begun to reach into the world of Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, Li Changqing thought of the traitor in Yihua Palace.

"Has Hulong Villa arranged for other people to enter Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen?"

Ding Haiguang's eyes remained numb: "I don't know."

Li Changqing was not too surprised by Ding Haiguang's response.

Ding Haiguang's cultivation level is only at the tenth level of the Houtian Realm, so it is expected that his status in Hulong Villa will not be too high.

How could Zhu Wuwu let Ding Haiguang and other details know too much information?

Afterwards, Li Changqing returned to the topic, "Did the person who sent you here to look for me, Hulong Villa or Qingyi Building?"

"Ten days ago, Qingyi Tower received a mission to secretly investigate the activities of the Grand Palace Master Yao Yue, the Second Palace Master Lian Xing, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master in Hanshan City, as well as those who came into contact with the three of them."

After learning about Ding Haiguang's mission, Li Changqing's face condensed slightly.

"You're actually here for Yihua Palace and Tianlongmen?"

After thinking for a few breaths, Li Changqing spoke again.

"Why does Qingyi Tower want to investigate Yao Yue and the other three?"

"do not know."

"Who gave this mission?"

"do not know"

"How many people from Qingyi Tower are there in the city?"

Unaware of this question, Li Changqing suddenly became quiet.

It's not that he was depressed by Ding Haiguang's incomprehensible question.

In fact, sometimes not knowing is also an answer.

Just like now.

Through Ding Haiguang's answer, Li Changqing basically knew how Hulong Villa and Qingyi Tower contacted them.

Basically, people like Ding Haiguang will issue tasks from the people above them. Unless they are doing joint tasks, otherwise, they don't even know who is their companion and who is their enemy.

The advantage of this is that it can effectively prevent the people under your hands from contacting each other, and then peel off the cocoons to deduce more information.

After pondering for a while, Li Changqing spoke again.

"Does Hulong Villa know about the mission assigned to you by Qingyi Tower?"

"It's not yet time to report the message."

"How long did it take for you and Hulong Villa to communicate?"

"On the 20th of every month, unless there are special important news to report."

"What's the time to send messages to Qingyi Tower?"

"Report according to the progress of the task! No time limit."

"How long was the last time you sent a letter to Tsing Yi House?"

"Not yet. I'm going to send a message after investigating you today."

After nearly half a quarter of an hour of questioning, Ding Haiguang was completely unaware of some key issues.

However, some details have become much clearer.

Including how Hulong Villa and Qingyi Tower communicate with their subordinates, etc.

The most important thing is that during this inquiry, Li Changqing was able to confirm that at this time, Hulong Villa did not know that Ding Haiguang had received the mission from Qingyi Tower.

After entering Hanshan City, he has not yet reported anything related to himself, Yaoyue and others to Qingyi Tower.

"In this case, things will be easier to handle."

Originally, Li Changqing thought that if both Hulong Villa and Qingyi Tower knew of his existence and he solved Ding Haiguang, it would cause some problems.

But now it seems that it is precisely because of the confidentiality of people under the command of Hulong Villa and Qingyi House that even if Ding Haiguang dies, the problem will not be big.

Immediately, Li Changqing raised his hand and prepared to insert the silver needle inserted into the Baihui point on Ding Haiguang's head one inch deeper.

But when his hand touched Ding Haiguang, Li Changqing suddenly stopped his hand slightly as if he thought of something, and moved his hand to Ding Haiguang's Sicong point, allowing the silver needle to penetrate three points.

The next second, Ding Haishan's body, which was standing, suddenly collapsed to the ground and passed out.

After that, Li Changqing first took off the silver needles on Ding Haishan's head and put them into the system backpack, leaving only two silver needles in his hands.

After using medicine to detoxify the original poison in Ding Haishan's body, he used his left hand to suck up a ball of white snow from the ground.

When the snow melts into water, mix some medicine into the water.

After a while, the snow water mixed with the medicine turned bright green.

After the medicine was prepared, Li Changqing held two silver needles in his right hand and inserted them into Ding Haishan's neck. At the same time, he slowly mixed the concoction prepared with his left hand into the silver needles and stabbed them in one position from shallow to deep.

A few breaths later, after nearly a hundred needle pricks, two small holes appeared on Ding Haiguang's neck.

The size is like being bitten by a snake.

At this time, Ding Haiguang's body, which was originally lying on the ground, suddenly started shaking.

One face quickly turned dark green, with black lips.

After a while, the same green blood began to overflow from the corners of Ding Haiguang's mouth, until his body completely stiffened.

If Yao Yue or Lian Xing were standing here, looking at the two tooth marks on Ding Haiguang's neck and the symptoms at this time, they would definitely think of the Green Snake immediately.

It's just that Ding Haiguang's symptoms at this time were exactly the same as those of being bitten by a green snake and causing venom.

At any time, you have to be careful when doing things.

The identity of Ding Haiguang in front of him was unusual. He was both a member of Hulong Villa and a member of Qingyi Building.

I don't know if anyone outside had paid attention to him and Ding Haiguang before. If he simply killed Ding Haiguang and followed up with determination, he might also be able to trace Li Changqing.

Naturally, the best way to get rid of Ding Haiguang without making people think of himself is to frame the blame.

As it happens, Li Changqing can be said to be a professional when it comes to diverting misfortunes eastward.

It just so happens that the Jade Snake Lord appears in Hanshan City during this time, and the Jade Lin Snake is rare and is the signature of the Jade Snake Lord.

Disguising himself as Ding Haiguang with drugs and dying under the Green Snake is currently the most reasonable method.

After Ding Haiguang's body stiffened, Li Changqing inserted the sterilized silver needle into Ding Haiguang's Baihui point again.

After confirming that he was dead, Li Changqing stood up, processed his own footprints on the snow, and then moved to another location in the alley using "Two Etiquette and Four Elephant Steps".

Ding Haiguang, whose face was green and breathless, was left lying quietly on the ground.

And half of the bunches of brightly colored candied haws were buried in the snow.
