Evergreen Immortal.

The next morning.

The first ray of morning light shines on the window edge.

Li Rui emerged from the secret passage.

Yes, he hid in a secret passage all night last night.

The bloody smoke lasted for about a quarter of an hour and then dissipated. For safety reasons, he waited until daylight before coming out.

"Who is it?"

Li Rui frowned tightly.

An existence that even Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei can't afford to offend?

Or specifically for yourself?

He was deep in thought.

Then he sighed softly, opened the door and walked out.

"Lao Li, you are finally out."

Yang Yong was relieved when he saw Li Rui walking out of the room.

Li Rui gets up early every weekday to practice boxing.

Today, something suddenly changed.

After he and Wang Zhao got up, they found that Li Rui hadn't gone out, and they were both worried.

Li Rui said nonchalantly: "As people get older, they feel lighter. The birds chirped all night last night, which was very annoying, so I took a nap."

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao looked at each other:

"Qier?"

How could they remember that it was very quiet last night, and there was no sound of birds anywhere.

Yang Yong was speechless: "Lao Li, are you confused by your sleep? There was obviously no sound last night."

"Maybe I'm dreaming."

Li Rui said lightly.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Obviously, Yang Yong and Wang Zhao had no awareness of the danger last night.

"So...what happened?"

other end.

In an extremely ordinary empty house in Qinghe New Town.

After this house was built, it was bought by a businessman from out of town, but strangely it has always been vacant and unoccupied.

The surrounding neighbors have long been used to it.

In an empty house.

"As expected of Jiangdong Sword Immortal, he really has some abilities."

Qi Cheng sneered while taking off his black robe.

Yes, this house was built by the county magistrate Zhuang Renhe.

He is a member of the Guiming Sect and has been staying in the county government office, so he might be discovered.

That's why Zhuang Renhe bought this house under the guise of a businessman from other places.

It was specially given to Qi Cheng to live there.

"Have to go again."

Last night, he sneaked into the Tranquility Guardhouse. His aura was suppressed to the extreme, but he was still almost discovered by Jiang Linxian.

If he hadn't used the secret method, he might have been left in the Peace Guard.

"How dare you take the belongings of my Gui Ming Sect!"

Killing intent burst out in Qi Cheng's eyes.

He has basically determined the scope. As long as Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei leave Anning Guard, it will be time for him to take action.

Wait slowly, he is very patient.

Over the past year.

He has been secretly looking for the person who killed the ghost Zhang Hao.

That person was most likely the real culprit who took away the immortal treasure.

Having avenged his revenge and being able to complete the Guiming Sect's mission, Qi Cheng would naturally not give up easily.

"Tolerate!"

Qi Cheng is not an idiot.

Of course, it was impossible for him to rush into the Peace Guard and kill people openly.

"I don't believe Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei don't go out!"

"senior?"

Han Qin was practicing in his yard when Li Rui came to his door.

He is an eighth-grade warrior.

Most of the young disciples of the Huaqing Sect did not hold actual positions in the Anning Guard. For them, going to the Anning Guard was more for experience. Only those deacons who had no hope of promotion would pursue the fame of the Anning Guard.

Although they have no positions, they are all assigned separate houses.

Li Rui: "Brother Han, do you have time?"

Han Qin nodded without thinking: "Yes, yes."

Not only did he have time, he now had a lot of time wasted.

It is impossible for a martial artist to practice Kung Fu for twelve hours, as that would only make people useless.

Generally speaking, three or four hours is enough.

But what about other times?

In the past, it was used to go out to do tasks and obtain more resources, but now it's boring.

Even if Li Rui doesn't come to him, he will go to Li Rui.

It’s just too idle.

Li Rui: "I have to trouble Brother Han to summon the other people and receive the mission to ask us to go out on patrol."

"good!"

Han Qin's eyes lit up.

As long as you go on missions, you can earn military merit and exchange for resources in the An Ning Guard.

He is not like the other rich second generations who will really have nothing to do if they don't work.

Only half an hour.

Han Qin came to Li Rui with three men and two women.

See you again.

Compared with the first time they met, these people are obviously much better. Although they can't say they respect Li Rui, they at least don't reject him.

Li Rui said with a faint smile: "Everyone, after receiving the general's order, he told me to wait and patrol in Qinghe City. Let's set off immediately."

He didn't say much.

He turned around and walked towards the outside of the military camp.

At first, only Han Qin and Jiang Yan followed.

The remaining four Huaqing Sect disciples looked at each other, and finally followed them silently.

Li Rui walked in the front, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The first step in domestication.

Achieved!

As for the general's orders.

Cao Wei did issue orders for patrols to patrol Qinghe and the major sects in the area, but that was all a month ago.

Li Rui said now, of course he is not really so dedicated.

It's just an excuse to get close to Jiang Yan.

He looked at the smoke in his consciousness.

"really!"

The smoke changed from red to almost pure white again.

Good news: The master who sneaked into Anning Guard that night was no match for Jiang Linxian.

Bad news: Most likely they are coming for Li Rui.

Li Rui thought in his heart.

"Is it someone from Ming Guangzong?"

He had offended someone recently, and it seems that only Ming Guangzong's family can break into Anningwei.

But Ming Guangzong is not crazy, how could he do such a thing as breaking into the military camp at night.

"Forget it."

Li Rui glanced at Jiang Yan who was walking beside the team calmly.

"Create more opportunities to get along."

It is certainly not feasible to go directly to Jiang Linxian for shelter, so it is just as safe to save the country in a roundabout way and stay with Jiang Yan.

Li Rui put his hands behind his back.

He led everyone from the east to the west of the city, and then from the south to the north of the city.

Rest here and drink tea there.

With the physical strength of several people, this kind of work is certainly not tiring, but... it's a waste of time!

Qin Hua, a male disciple of Huaqing Sect, was the first to be unable to bear it:

"Master Li, what do you mean by this, are you teasing us?"

The other three also nodded.

Wandering around the city all day, what does this have to do with monitoring the world?

Han Qin frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that his junior brothers and sisters had such bad tempers and couldn't help themselves so quickly.

He was about to persuade them, but hesitated.

In fact, he didn't understand Li Rui's intention.

Li Rui smiled faintly, and said as he walked: "You can't stand it."

Qin Hua snorted coldly: "We are here to restore peace to the world, not to accompany you, an old man, to relieve boredom."

"Peace in the world?"

Li Rui stopped and turned to look at Qin Hua and others:

"Then I want to ask, what did you see today."

Qin Hua was stunned by Li Rui's question, and then said: "Isn't it just strolling in the city? What else can I see."

Li Rui shook his head.

He looked like a child who could not be taught:

"Elder Jiang asked you to come to me, it is indeed reasonable."

"Sit down, old man, I will talk to you."

Li Rui found a big rock on the side of the road and sat down.

Although Qin Hua and his companions were puzzled, they still gathered around. Although there were still many stones around, they all chose to stand.

Li Rui did not persuade them.

He just continued to say: "Today, I took you to visit the bases of three sects, seven schools and eleven families in Qinghe. As a night-time intelligence collector, you didn't even find this most basic intelligence."

"Do you want to wait for the intelligence to be delivered to your door?"

"Or do you really think we are here to go shopping?"

Anyone who has been a spy knows that collecting intelligence is far from as mysterious as the storybooks say. It's all about making a fuss out of ordinary things.

What about sneaking into the enemy alone and opening the treasure house.

It's all a lie for children.

After being said by Li Rui, Qin Hua and his companions blushed, but they couldn't refute a point.

Because they were just walking and didn't observe these clues carefully.

Han Qin and Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.

Li Rui added: "The number of guards in front of the Mingguang Sect has increased from ten to twenty. It should be that an important person is coming, or there are other important things that need more attention."

"More than thirty people came in and out of the Zhao family within an hour, most of whom were servants. They might be entertaining someone."

"Red is hung in front of the Jiuyi Sect. Deputy Sect Master Xie has taken in a concubine. Her surname should be Gao."

"."

Li Rui talked freely.

He made the people of Huaqing Sect stunned.

Especially Qin Hua, who followed Li Rui all the way and felt irritable. He never expected that Li Rui could observe so many subtle information and write them down one by one during the seemingly ordinary journey.

Incredible!

Qin Hua's momentum was visibly weaker.

"But... but what's the use of these trivial things!"

Li Rui still looked calm:

"The leader of Jiuyi Sect was originally a gangster giant. Jiuyi Sect has always been involved in dirty tricks in Qinghe. We can win over the Gao family and then get information from them."

"Pillow talk is the most useful."

Han Qin took a breath.

Although Li Rui said it lightly, it not only requires careful thinking, but also requires understanding the situation of each sect.

To reach Li Rui's level, you have to work hard in secret.

If you don't believe it, try to recite the names of 800 people in one breath.

I'm sure few people can do it.

But Li Rui can remember the situation of all the sects in the jurisdiction of Anningwei, and he didn't just try it out.

"Junior, please teach me!"

Han Qin bowed deeply to Li Rui.

Li Rui helped Han Qin up and said to the others with a smile: "These are all old experiences. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't want to listen, it doesn't matter."

Since he showed this trick.

Qin Hua and others immediately became honest.

In addition, the number of times Jiang Yan secretly looked at him increased exponentially.

"It's a pity that the mission has been completed"

Li Rui saw all of this.

In fact, he was able to do all this because he often read miscellaneous books, had good comprehension and strong memory, so he knew a lot of strange knowledge points that others would not notice.

It's probably the same as the engineering students in the previous life who liked to talk to the liberal arts students about quantum mechanics.

There is an information gap.

It's a dimensionality reduction attack.
