pet cultivator

Chapter 20 The Colonel's Conspiracy

Li Jin found that since he started practicing and reached the level of a first-level pet master, his walking speed was much faster than ordinary people, and he returned to the post station at the west entrance of Broken Soul Canyon not long after.

And he was also surprised to find that he didn't feel very tired after walking so far, and his stamina was half a chip stronger than that of ordinary middle-aged men.

How did Li Jin know that the pet master's cultivation method recorded in the Wanhun Congealing Pearl Art was also a top-notch cultivation method in the era tens of thousands of years ago.Li Jinxiu gained some fur and improved his physique, but it was not a problem at all.Come to think of it, Gao Ruoxi said that Li Jin would need to walk for about five days to reach the Dragoon Army barracks, but she underestimated the six or seven-year-old kid in her eyes.

"strangeness?"

Li Jin looked at the busy businessmen all around, and thought to himself: "It's only been one night, why do you feel like nothing happened?"

There is a lot of people going to the post station, along the official road, travelers, business convoys, hawkers, escorts and escorts are all hurrying on their way in an orderly manner.

Li Jin walked through the area at the west entrance of Broken Soul Canyon without moving his face, let alone checkpoints, he didn't even see a single imperial soldier.

its not right.Li Jin was full of doubts.The place where he and Gao Ruoxi landed yesterday was not far from the canyon. If the pursuers came after them on horseback, they might still have found them last night.But last night, the two took turns keeping vigil, but nothing happened, which made the two of them tense all night in vain.

Could it be that the army has withdrawn?What a joke, according to what Gao Ruoxi said last night, she is the main target of the army's suppression of bandits this time, and the other bandits just hunted down rabbits and killed them by the way.

Li Jin couldn't think of the reason for a while, and in this weird situation, he didn't know where Gao Ruoxi would go.However, there must be demons in everything. Li Jin wanted to go to the post station to find out the news, but he only had a few copper coins on him, so he didn't dare to squander them casually.Li Jin thought for a while, walked out of the post station window silently, and fell asleep.

"I heard that just yesterday, the empire sent troops to suppress the nest of bandits in the canyon?"

After a while, there was a discussion in the station.Li Jin's heart moved, and he said to himself that it was true, but he didn't even open his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep, secretly listening to the conversation inside.

"That's not true! I heard what the little girl said just now. The night before yesterday, the empire sent a special army to surprise that cave, and directly took over the nest of bandits!"

"Oh? The army will actually come to exterminate this kind of bandit? But this regular army is different, and it can easily attack that dangerous place. That's right, the official road will be peaceful now."

"Speaking of this, the boss may not know something." At this time, a waiter came over with two dishes, put the food on the table, and continued: "This is used to defend the capital. The No.11 Legion of the Empire came to our land to suppress the bandits, but there is a secret that no one knows—"

"Oh? What's the secret? Tell me." The resting businessman seemed very interested in these anecdotes, took out a silver coin, and threw it to the little boy.The people eating around became much quieter, as if they were all ready to listen to what the little girl had to say.

"Thank you!" Xiao Er received the money, and was overjoyed, but said in a mysterious way: "Actually, the empire sent troops to suppress the bandits this time, it was under the orders of General Chen Wannian!"

"Chen Wannian? You mean Chen Dan? You're really bragging, don't you? Look at the name that dog official changed for himself. He thought that he would last forever. How could he be so kind and care about people's livelihood? Are you here?" The boss shook his head when he heard the words, in disbelief.

Seeing that the crowd didn't believe it, the little girl hurriedly said, "It's absolutely true! This is what our Master Yicheng told me. However, the reason why General Chen is so concerned about this matter is because of the gangsters' bandits. The boss has information about a treasure in his hand!"

Hearing this, Li Jin outside the window couldn't help but smile wryly.When something spreads, countless versions will be performed in places such as taverns and tea houses.If there were any treasures, how could General Chen let the army intervene in this matter? If the treasures were found, he would still be able to take all these treasures for himself?
Of course, Li Jin asked this question because he didn't know who Chen Wannian was.In fact, his son can mobilize the army to do things for him in his name, but this person's power is overwhelming.

The boss also sneered when he heard the words: "What kind of treasure can actually make Chen Wannian, a wealthy and corrupt official, be moved!"

"It is said that this treasure was left over from the previous dynasty, and it contains rare treasures that were taken away by the royal family of the previous dynasty! Although it is small, I feel that Mr. Chen came here with an attitude that he would rather believe it. But—" Xiao Er deliberately paused, and seeing everyone staring at him, he continued proudly: "Yesterday, those soldiers indeed found several cartloads of treasures from the bandit's cave! Those The things are not just gold coins and silver coins, most of them are jewelry and jade. Bandit robbers don't like these things that need to be sold for cash. And the amount found on the spot is enough for these bandits to eat and drink for a lifetime. You Think about it, with all this money, who would want to be a bandit?"

"I see. I've heard that the bandits' appetite has changed recently. The general small merchants have stopped robbing, and the number of times they come out to rob is also less. Now that I think about it, isn't it just to cover up people's eyes and ears from time to time? It's active!" On the side, a voice affirmed in a low voice.

When Xiao Er heard the discussion, she also smiled: "That's the reason!"

"Then now that the bandit has been captured by Chen Wannian, this treasure has also fallen into the hands of the dog official?"

"Hey, that's not true!" Xiao Er smiled triumphantly, "The treasure in the bandit cave must be only a small part, and the leader of this bandit was rescued by a big bird yesterday." I think the most important information about this treasure should be on the bandit leader who ran away."

"It turned out to be the case. Then these soldiers didn't catch the culprit, what should we do next?" The boss continued to ask.Hearing this, Li Jin knew that the key was coming, so he secretly listened carefully.

The waiter then replied: "It's strange to say. Originally, this group of soldiers chased them out, but after a while, they all came back, escorting those bandits who were stationed on the other side of the canyon to the post station." I just heard that after tonight, they will escort these bandits back to Danjin City first. Everyone knows that once the bandits are captured, there will be no second choice except to be executed. result."

"I don't think so!" Someone next to him answered, "It is estimated that the group of soldiers felt that they would not be able to catch the bandit leader in a short time, so they might as well bring these bandits back for interrogation first, in case any of them knew about them. Where is the boss's other hiding place, or where is the treasure?"

"No, if that's the case, why not just interrogate here. It should be that this group of soldiers failed to catch the culprit, and became angry from embarrassment. It seems that these bandits are going to die!"

All of a sudden, there was an uproarious discussion in the station.

At this time, a young man in Tsing Yi outside the window of the post station seemed to have just woken up, stretched his waist, and walked slowly towards the plank road in the canyon...

------

People who just entered the night came to the station, but were still booked by the imperial army.It's just that in the inn at this time, apart from the soldiers who came out to suppress the bandits this time, they were eating and drinking, and there were dozens of gangsters in custody. They were the bandits under Gao Ruoxi's men.

"Boss, do you think that chick will come?" A few soldiers sat around the captain, and a soldier asked while pouring wine for himself.

"Hey, will the captain of the school do something he is not sure about? I heard it in the imperial capital. This chick has some skills, so she is naturally arrogant and loyal, otherwise she wouldn't be the bandit leader. How could such a person leave without caring about his subordinates, and let others suffer on his behalf?"

"That's why you deliberately released the news, boss, that you will escort these bandits to Danjin City tomorrow." The soldier answered.

The captain sneered and nodded: "She knows that once we enter the city, she will have no chance to save people. So, on the road tomorrow, that chick's last chance to save people. When the soul pet's injury has not recovered, it throws itself into the trap. In this way, we can easily capture it and send it to the imperial capital."

Everyone suddenly realized that they stood up and praised the captain for his resourcefulness.One excitedly shouted: "So that's it! No wonder I didn't see Zhao Qian and his team tonight. The boss must have arranged for them to go ahead and set up an ambush!"

"Keep your voice down!" The captain reprimanded, but the smug expression on his face betrayed him. "Don't get drunk tonight, if something goes wrong, you and I will have nothing to eat!"

"Yes yes yes! Little ones toast to the boss for the last time tonight, the boss's move is simply a clever move, amazing, amazing!"

For a while, the sound of compliments and flattering laughter and toasts rippling in the station.

However, no one noticed that on the roof above them, a slender black figure had been eavesdropping for an unknown amount of time.A faint light flashed across his chest, and the black shadow disappeared.

Gao Ruoxi rode the Wentian Crane and left the Renlai Station, and sneaked into a small wood not far away, frowning.

Although she had found out the location of her brothers, the space in the inn was too narrow, and she couldn't rescue all of them under heavy guard.And the lieutenant's plan can basically be said to be a conspiracy. Although I already know the other party's plan, I can only bite the bullet and go on. Only in places with woods in the wild can the possibility of her succeeding in saving people be high. will be slightly larger.Fortunately, the other party didn't expect that his soul pet's injuries had fully recovered, so he would go to see how the group of people ambushed him later, so that the other party could be caught off guard.

Thinking of this, a curious smile appeared on Gao Ruoxi's face.That kid, who is he?He actually used such a precious soul orb on the kidnapper who hijacked him, and he didn't care.He's obviously just a brat, but he always gives people a feeling worth entrusting...

Suddenly, Gao Ruoxi stopped and looked forward.Under a tree, a small figure was sitting there, as if he heard his own footsteps, and looked at him.

"Who is it!" Gao Ruoxi approached cautiously.When she saw the man's face clearly by the moonlight, she was startled: "Why are you? Is it a human or a ghost?"

The little figure stood up, faced Gao Ruoxi with a smile and said, "Sister Ruoxi."
