Chapter 332: Steady and Steady

Chapter 332: Steady and Steady

Under the guidance of Li Xuan, Xu Lang led the flower-dressed eunuchs to quickly approach the camp of the robbers in the valley.

On the way, Li Xuan also told Xu Lang all the news he had heard in the camp before.

After Xu Lang got the news, his face was solemn.

"There are so many traps around the camp."

"It seems that there is a middle-level expert leading the robbers."

Li Xuan also pointed out the terrain near the camp, the distribution of traps he had explored, and the scouts on the trees.

In addition, Li Xuan could not count how many robbers there were in the camp. He only knew that there were about 20 to 30 people, which was not much different from their number.

Xu Lang remembered all this information in his heart.

After a while, they climbed over the hill, and the valley below the mountain had appeared in their sight.

Xu Lang immediately stopped and raised his hand, and the flower-dressed eunuchs following him also stopped.

"Sir, is it there?"

Li Xuan nodded, then stretched out his tail, and Xu Lang quickly handed over his palm.

"There is a dense forest in the valley, and their camp is inside, but I guess they have spies near the valley."

"I got in so easily before, my body shape gave me a lot of advantages."

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to hide."

After Li Xuan finished writing these contents, he retracted his tail.

Xu Lang nodded, agreeing with Li Xuan's analysis.

"Your Excellency is right."

"So now is not the best time to take action."

Looking at the terrain below, Xu Lang also felt a little tricky.

This terrain is really suitable for defense.

No matter which direction the enemy approaches, as long as the sentry posts are arranged near the hillsides of the mountains on both sides, the situation of the entire valley can be easily controlled.

And the dense forest terrain where the camp is located is even more difficult to attack.

Xu Lang wants to complete this mission, and he wants to complete it beautifully, so there must not be too many unnecessary casualties.

At present, they can't figure out the opponent's strength.

Then they must take the initiative and launch a sneak attack when they are unprepared.

But Xu Lang studied it and called a few good players in the team, but none of them had a good solution.

No matter how they acted, they would take a big risk.

"Captain, we can only fight quickly and make a quick decision, and take down the enemy leader first."

"With the night sky tonight and the terrain in front of us, it will take a lot of time to get rid of all the sentries without alerting anyone."

"We don't know when they will change their posts, so there is not much point in doing so."

The most experienced veteran in the team gave his own suggestions for reconnaissance.

But now the captain is Xu Lang, and what to do depends on his final decision.

If you want to make a great contribution, you must catch them all in one fell swoop and leave as many people alive as possible.

But in that case, the risk of failure will also be very high.

At this time, this person's suggestion of a quick battle and a quick decision to take down the enemy leader as soon as possible also has the risk of letting the enemy's important figures run away.

At this time, it depends on how the decision maker decides.

The people under him only need to do their duties and give professional advice.

Xu Lang was immediately entangled, but he was a cautious person, so he put completing the task first.

After all, as long as the task is completed, it will be a credit.

The word "ambitious" has nothing to do with Xu Lang.

He quickly gave up the possibility of catching all the enemies in one fell swoop and decided to accept the proposal of a quick victory.

"Rest where you are, stay alert, and start at 3:30 in the morning."

Xu Lang exhaled a breath of turbid air and issued his own order.

Li Xuan also nodded, very satisfied with Xu Lang's caution.

"Sir, I have a favor to ask."

Xu Lang bowed his head slightly and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself:

"Oh, it seems that my little cat is going to take action."

But Li Xuan did not give an immediate response, but planned to listen to Xu Lang's plan first.

"I would like to ask you to sneak into the thieves' camp again and cooperate with them from inside and outside."

"You don't need to take direct action, just create chaos in the camp and disrupt the thieves' response."

"If they evacuate decisively, please follow them and leave marks along the way."

"Of course, all this is based on the premise that you can guarantee your own safety."

"If the situation is not right, please evacuate to a safe place immediately and wait to meet up with us."

Li Xuan thought about it and felt that Xu Lang's request was not difficult, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing Li Xuan agree, Xu Lang was also overjoyed.

He is now risking his life and even using Li Xuan.

In fact, Li Xuan's safety is the top priority for this investigation outside the palace, and no one can afford to lose it.

But Li Xuan had quietly discovered the thieves' camp before, and Xu Lang began to re-evaluate Li Xuan's strength.

And he really wanted to seize every opportunity.

Xu Lang felt that with Li Xuan's previous performance, even if the situation was not right, it should not be a problem to retreat unscathed.

Because, if the situation near the camp is really as Li Xuan said, Li Xuan's stealth ability is much stronger than their flowery eunuchs.

"Sir, this is a kerosene bottle. After you smash it, it will ignite the flames by itself, and it is very difficult to extinguish."

As Xu Lang said, he took out a palm-sized earthenware bottle from his arms. It looked dusty but not very eye-catching.

"If those thieves notice our movements later, please set fire to the camp and cause chaos."

As Xu Lang said, he strung the five kerosene bottles on his body with a string and handed them all to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan easily hung the five fire oil bottles with his tail. After thinking about it, he felt it was not enough, so he asked Xu Lang to get more for him.

Xu Lang immediately collected five more from the hands of the eunuchs in colorful clothes, and gave Li Xuan the original ten together.

Li Xuan weighed the weight on his tail and finally left with satisfaction.

Xu Lang led the eunuchs in colorful clothes to rest on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the third quarter of the year, and then launched a surprise attack on the camp in the dense forest.

The time they chose was when people were sleeping deeply and the sentry posts were relatively tired.

After Li Xuan walked out for a short distance, he put the bottle of fire oil given to him by Xu Lang into the Emperor Hong Bone Ring, and then sneaked back to the camp.

The camp was even quieter than before, and it was obvious that most people were resting.

Unlike Xu Lang and others, these robbers chose to set up tents.

Although it looks a bit crude, it is no problem to provide shelter from wind and rain.

After all, these robbers are different from them. They have lived in the mountains for several days. If they always sleep in the open, they probably won't be able to survive.

Li Xuan found a tree nearby that was convenient for observing the camp, and then lay on the branch, waiting for the action to begin.

In addition to snoring, there were some small movements such as turning over in the camp.

Apart from that, there is more annoying buzzing of insects.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and fell asleep, but his ears were raised high, paying attention to the movements in the camp.

From time to time, there will be some footsteps, which seems to be the handover of the sentry post.

However, there are always footsteps, and it seems that the rules of shift handover are not simple, and even seem chaotic.

Time passed slowly, and the night became darker and darker.

The quiet night is dark, the light is floating, and the moon is cold and melting.

I don’t know how long it took, but a piercing scream suddenly came from the distance.

Li Xuan's ears clearly heard that the originally regular breathing sounds in the camp were somewhat disrupted.

"enemy……"

As soon as the scarred man opened his tent and shouted a word, he saw a black shadow coming towards him.

He subconsciously turned around and nimbly dodged the hidden weapon that was attacking him.

The next moment, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and then the tent behind him was filled with flames, and soon it began to burn.

"The enemy is attacking, get up!"

The scarred man roared angrily, and the sound resounded through the dense forest and spread far away.

"Tch, his skills are quite good."

Li Xuan secretly curled his lips and felt a little regretful.

But then, he continued to roll up a bottle of kerosene with his tail, and violently threw the bottle of kerosene out using the stone-rolling method.

This time, his target was the largest tent in the camp.

With such a big target, Li Xuan naturally had no chance of missing.

As the bottle filled with kerosene smashed onto the tent, the fire-igniting mechanism in the bottle was instantly activated, and the tent was immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Immediately afterwards, shrill screams came from inside the tent, and several firemen ran out of it. They fell to the ground and rolled around crazily, trying to put out the fire on themselves.

The other robbers nearby turned pale with fright when they saw the miserable state of their companions, but then immediately stepped forward to help.

The camp had begun to light up with firelight.

Li Xuan didn't dare to stay where he was, so he changed his position on the tree, and then threw away all the remaining kerosene bottles.

At this moment, the robbers' camp in the dense forest was caught in a sea of ​​fire, almost all their tents were burned down.

As for the place where the goods were stored, Li Xuan didn't move at all.

Maybe the treasures he needs are stored here.

How dare he set fire to the goods casually.

Naturally, the robbers did not sit still and let Li Xuan bully them.

The scarred man was the first to take action, swung a ghost-headed sword in his hand, slashed out a series of swords, and attacked in the direction where the fire oil bottle was thrown.

The sword slashed across the branch where Li Xuan was standing, and was cut off silently. Then it fell silently, causing quite a stir in the forest.

After Li Xuan threw away the ten kerosene bottles, he distanced himself again and hid in the dark night.

The area around the camp was now so brightly lit by fire that it was no longer suitable for him to get closer.

He chose to hide in the darkness further away to avoid this group of robbers from playing with his life.

"Where are the rats, hiding their heads and showing their tails?"

"Anyone who has the guts to come out and show off with me!"

The scarred man roared angrily, and the hand holding the Ghost Head Sword was covered with thick veins.

The other party made his camp look like this, but he couldn't find any trace of the other party.

This made the scarred man feel a little chilled, so he could only use words to see the other person's reaction.

At this time, his hands were not slacking off, and he was making gestures again and again, and he didn't know what message he was conveying.

"I didn't expect him to be a master at the same level as Xu Lang."

Li Xuan looked at the incompetent and furious scarred man, but in his heart he did not dare to underestimate this man at all.

On the way out of the palace this time, Li Xuan asked Xu Lang a lot about cultivation.

The core of the third-level cultivation is zhenqi.

Developing a ray of true energy is considered as truly possessing the strength of the third grade.

With the strength of Qi Sensing Realm, you can use the Qi in your body to various parts of your body to make your moves more powerful.

And after taking a step closer, Xu Lang was able to knock out the true energy from the body, which was the fifth level of Qi control.

And the Dao Gang that the scarred man slashed earlier seemed to be a way to control Qi and transform into shape, but it just didn't look as cool as Xu Lang's move.

But in terms of lethality, it's not bad at all.

Separated by a distance of several feet, the big tree that was hugged by one person could break at a moment's notice.

"No wonder it was so easy to kill the guards of Ping An Trading Company. It turns out there are five-level masters in charge."

You know, the higher you go in martial arts training, the more difficult it becomes.

Rank 5 is already considered a master among the many in the world.

After all, reaching the third level is a legend in the world.

If you reach the third level, you can walk sideways in the world.

Most of the people in the world are only of lower third-level cultivation, just making ends meet.

A person with a fifth-grade cultivation can serve as an elder in some sects.

Li Xuan hid in the darkness in the distance, observing everything happening in the camp.

It is strange to say that in such a chaotic, noisy, and poor vision situation, the scarred man actually chose to use hand gestures to issue his orders.

The robbers in the camp were already in chaos. Except for a few people around the scarred man, most of them did not notice the gesture made by the scarred man.

"Who is he making this gesture to?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but tilted his head, feeling a little strange.

The man with the scar can become the leader of these people. He is definitely a capable person and cannot make such a mistake in a panic.

But at this moment, the man with the scar stopped moving his hand, and then shouted at the top of his voice:

"Assemble and defend against the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, the robbers under him no longer cared about the burning tents and hurriedly gathered around the scarred man.

The kerosene bottle Li Xuan threw out earlier did not cause effective damage.

Except for a few unlucky ones who were burned by him, not even one was burned to death.

"That's right. These are all desperadoes who lick blood from their swords. How could they be burned to death so easily?"

It was enough to delay them for a while. Li Xuan had already heard the shouts of killing in the distance getting closer and closer. Xu Lang and the others were now advancing very close.

A war between the two sides is about to break out.

Just when Li Xuan thought he had successfully completed his mission and was about to retire, he suddenly caught a strange smell approaching him quickly.

But his ears did not pick up any strange sounds.

But Li Xuan believed in his sense of smell. He jumped to the side, just wanting to escape from this strange smell that was quickly approaching him.

The next moment, the tree he was originally standing on was cut open and split into two, and the thick trunk was accurately cut open from the center line.

Li Xuan looked back and saw a black shadow falling on the ground.

"Oops got caught!"

Only then did Li Xuan understand who the scarred man's gesture was for. It turned out that there was such a master hidden in the secret.

The scarred man in the camp also noticed the movement here, and saw him shouting from a distance:

"I'll leave it to you, Fourth Brother."

"Follow the old rules."

Li Xuan didn't know what their old rules were, but he knew he was in trouble.

This man, whom the scarred man called the fourth child, had a sinister face, was wearing dark night clothes, and was holding a dagger as long as an adult's forearm in his hand.

Although the attack that split the tree in two with just one blow was done with the mediocre dagger in his hand.

"Isn't he also a fifth-grade master?"

Li Xuan stood on the branch, looking at the fourth child below, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

While Li Xuan was sizing up the fourth child, the fourth child was also sizing him up.

"Monster?"

The fourth child never expected that the person who secretly set fire to the camp would be such an inconspicuous little black cat in front of him.

"No wonder no intruder was found."

The fourth child, who is in charge of the sentry at the camp, was suddenly attacked tonight and was touched at the door of his house without even noticing. It was a dereliction of duty on his part.

But when he looked at Li Xuan in front of him, he was furious.

"It's really abominable that such a monster has been cultivated!"

The fourth child kicked the ground with anger, and his whole body rushed towards Li Xuan like an arrow from the string.

Whoosh——

Li Xuan saw that he was so angry that he immediately turned around and ran away.

"A good cat never suffers from immediate consequences."

"It's not my job to fight today."

"If you want to fight, of course someone will accompany you."

Li Xuan sneered in his heart, and then took the fourth child in the direction of Xu Lang and the others.

This fourth child is obviously a master who is good at sneak attacks and assassinations, so his Qinggong is even more impressive.

Even though Li Xuan suppressed his speed, Lao Si could steadily chase after him, which showed how extraordinary this man was in Qinggong.

But the fourth child was not a fool. He saw that no matter how fast he accelerated, he could not catch up with the little black cat in front of him.

Moreover, we could vaguely notice that many people were coming towards us from the front, and the fourth child did not dare to go deeper.

"No, I have to make a decision early!"

The fourth child made up his mind and immediately put the sword into its sheath. Then he stretched out his hands and suddenly there were several plum blossom darts between his fingers.

He saw the opportunity and locked the opportunity for Li Xuan to fly into the air. Then he flicked his hands and shot out all the plum blossom darts in his hands.

"die!"

The moment he fired the plum blossom dart, Lao Si shouted loudly, trying to shock Li Xuan's mind so that he would reveal more flaws.

Li Xuan noticed the sound of breaking through the air approaching quickly behind him, and quickly curled up his body into a small ball.

But even so, he still couldn't dodge all the plum blossom darts.

I saw a plum-blossom dart hit Li Xuan's tail, and then hit him with unabated force, causing his figure in the air to tilt suddenly and hit the tree trunk on the side.

"good chance!"

The fourth child yelled in his heart, then drew his sword and pounced, intending to cut in half the little black cat that had embarrassed him tonight.

There was a flash of cold light, and sparks flew everywhere!

The fourth child couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the little black cat with a cunning smile in front of him.

"How can this be!?"

The fourth child never expected that his invincible dagger would be stopped by such a small and cute cat's claw.

Li Xuan looked at the fourth child with ridicule in his eyes.

Li Xuan deliberately caught the previous plum blossom dart with the Emperor Hong Bone Ring on his tail, and then pretended to slap himself with his tail, pretending to lose his balance in the air.

When the fourth child hesitated earlier, Li Xuan noticed that his speed began to slow down.

After finally isolating a difficult enemy, how could Li Xuan let him go so easily.

And sure enough, the fourth child despised Li Xuan, and as soon as he saw Li Xuan's flaw, he impatiently chased after him.

He probably never expected that Li Xuan had the strength to take his move.

At this time, Lao Si felt that all the hairs on his body were standing on end.

He had never heard of a monster with such intelligence.

The fourth child felt chilled when he saw the vivid expression on Li Xuan's face.

"Am I being plotted by a cat?"

The moment he realized this fact, he no longer had the will to fight and just wanted to get away quickly.

But it was only then that the fourth child realized that his dagger couldn't be drawn back, as it was caught tightly by Li Xuan's cat's claw.

Moreover, huge power continued to come from the cat's claws, forcing him to resist with all his strength.

"It's so evil!"

"This strength, this strength, it has been running before!?"

The more the fourth child thought about it, the more his heart grew cold. The eldest brother, who just wanted to rendezvous as soon as possible, could retreat as far away as possible.

But the next moment, his heart really felt cold.

"Well……"

The fourth child groaned and found that several sharp blades had been inserted into his chest at some point.

He raised his head with difficulty and found several strange figures beside him.

Before he could continue to think about it, the world in front of him began to tumble violently, and finally he could no longer hold his eyelids, and everything fell into the darkness of nothingness.

Li Xuan put away his paws and looked at the headless body that collapsed in front of him, feeling secretly shocked.

"What a neat execution."

In front of him was Xu Lang, who was holding the fourth child's head.

Xu Lang held a straight-edged long knife in his hand. The style was similar to that of Tang Dao, but the material looked a bit special. It was completely black and non-reflective. At night, it looked like he was holding a long shadow.

Xu Lang flicked the long knife in his hand, and all the blood on it was shaken off without a drop.

"What a knife!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but admire it.

The other eunuchs in colorful clothes who had stabbed the fourth son to death also withdrew their knives, and then continued to move forward at Xu Lang's signal.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Xu Lang half-knelt on the ground and asked Li Xuan.

According to their mission on this trip, they were supposed to keep as many people alive as possible, but as soon as Xu Lang saw Li Xuan and Lao Si fighting, he didn't care about anything else and directly issued the order to kill Lao Si.

Li Xuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

He couldn't help but glance at the headless corpse lying on the ground. He probably didn't expect that the fourth time he chased a cat, he would just chase away his life.

As the old saying goes, don’t chase wild cats on the roadside.

Otherwise, being scratched twice is fine, but losing your life is not worth it.

The fourth child on the ground is a lesson from the past.

Li Xuan jumped directly onto Xu Lang's shoulder, then stretched out a paw and pointed straight forward.

Xu Lang understood immediately and chased after his companions in front of him.

Previously, Xu Lang led his men to advance and remove the light and dark sentinels on the periphery. Unfortunately, an accident happened in the middle and caused some commotion.

These sentry posts were set up in an extremely disgusting way, and they were very particular about their location and distance. It took Xu Lang and the others a lot of effort.

But if they knew that their fourth child had lost his head after being disgusted, they would probably feel better now.

People from both sides rushed here, and immediately they collided, and fierce shouts of killing suddenly rang out in the dark forest.

The number of colorful eunuchs is smaller, but they are all obviously elite.

Although the robbers had a large number of people, they were all good and bad. They had just fought and they collapsed at the first touch.

The eunuchs in colorful clothes wielded long black knives and killed themselves into the crowd of robbers. They were like hungry wolves jumping into the flock of sheep. They only saw the scarlet flowers blooming, and they had already harvested several lives.

What's even more frightening is that the eunuchs in colorful clothes are also proficient in the art of combined attacks. They cooperate with each other tacitly and cover the flaws in each other's moves, just like sophisticated killing machines.

In just a moment, the morale of the robbers plummeted and was on the verge of collapse.

It was probably the same scene when they killed all the guards of Ping An Trading Company.

When the scarred man saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank and he realized that something was wrong.

But he didn't show anything on his face, and even quietly lowered his sense of existence, slowly moving toward the edge of the battle.

The eunuchs in colorful clothes are all middle-level third-level masters, and at worst they have the strength of the sixth-level aura realm.

On the other hand, the strength span of the robbers is only somewhat large.

The strongest scarred man has the strength of the fifth grade, but there are also many people who are lower than the third grade among them. That is why they have no resistance in front of the third-grade eunuchs.

After Xu Lang arrived with Li Xuan, he did not rush to join the battle, but observed first.

After he saw that his side had an absolute advantage, he did not rush to take action himself. Instead, he looked for the masters on the robbers' side, intending to take down all the masters on the opposite side first.

But at this moment, Li Xuan on his shoulder suddenly stretched out his claws and pointed at the scarred man in the distance who was sneaking out of the battle.

Li Xuan didn't care about anything else and simply "meowed" to remind Xu Lang.

Xu Lang also reacted immediately, knowing that the character Li Xuan specifically pointed out must be extraordinary, so he directly used Qinggong and jumped straight towards the scarred man.

When the scarred man heard the sound of the air breaking behind him, his face immediately became fierce. Without even turning his head, he looked back at Wangyue with his backhand and slashed out with a powerful and heavy sword.

Li Xuan made a quick decision and jumped off Xu Lang's shoulder.

The next step is the confrontation between the two fifth-level masters. Li Xuan had better not cause any trouble to Xu Lang.

When Xu Lang saw the opponent's method of using Qi, he immediately understood that he had found the rightful owner. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and he shouted loudly:

"Hey, I'm going to capture you without letting go!"

Xu Lang made a move with his back hand, and also slashed out a blue sword. After breaking through the scarred man's sword, he continued to rush towards the scarred man with unabated strength. The scarred man rolled to the side in shock. , and then managed to escape Xu Lang's sword.

Xu Lang's sword struck the ground and blasted out a ravine, showing how powerful it was.

"Xu Lang's strength is really impressive."

Li Xuan stood on a branch nearby and sighed.

The scarred man, who was also at the fifth level, was originally arrogant and arrogant, but immediately shriveled up after meeting Xu Lang.

It can be seen from this that the gap in cultivation resources will lead to very different results.

Xu Lang and the scarred man had already fought each other, and the fight was filled with fire and energy.

Only then did Li Xuan discover that the scarred man's energy attribute was gold.

Gold generates water, and Scar Man doesn't even take advantage of the five elements attributes of Qi. It seems that the defeat is certain.

Li Xuan immediately turned his head and looked to the other side.

The battle between the eunuchs in colorful clothes and the robbers went relatively smoothly, but Li Xuan discovered that there were also some tough masters among the robbers.

It is said that he is difficult to deal with, but he can only have a few more tricks with the eunuch in colorful clothes.

After the eunuchs in colorful clothes killed a few at first and used their blood energy to establish their power, they have now begun to hurt more people.

After all, they would need to torture these survivors later to find out who was behind them.

However, this would inevitably put some restrictions on the ability of the colorful eunuchs.

"This seems to be more in line with my current strength."

Li Xuan observed for a while and found that he could get involved in the battle here, and there was no danger.

It was rare for Li Xuan to be serious with others. Now that he had the chance, his paws were naturally itchy.

If he learns martial arts but doesn't fight, wouldn't it be in vain?

Li Xuan immediately took action, plunged from the branch, and participated in the fierce battle.

Of course, there are many different styles of fighting.

Li Xuan had mastered the essence of Lao Liu. He lay on the ground and used his quick speed to sneak attack the robber's lower body.

Li Xuan's body was seen wandering among the chaotic footsteps like a ghost, stretching out sharp cat claws and tearing open wounds that were deep enough to show the bones.

The eunuchs in colorful clothes also found that their opponents suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, waving their weapons randomly and struggling, which shocked them.

When he looked down, he discovered that they had terrible wounds on their legs, which were bleeding profusely.

It's just that Li Xuan found that the effect of doing so didn't seem to be very good.

Although he could severely injure the robbers, after the robbers fell to the ground, they would struggle violently due to pain.

"No, it has to be so painful that they can't resist."

Li Xuan looked down at his pink cat's paw, and finally gritted his teeth and raised the cat's paw higher.

He clearly knew that by raising this cat's claw, he would be stained with a lot of sins.

After Li Xuan adjusted the height of the cat's paw, he walked around in the crowd again.

This time, the robbers let out even more shrill screams, and after falling to the ground, they could no longer resist.

The better ones fell to the ground, rolling their eyes and twitching.

Almost, eyes closed, no sound, no idea of ​​life or death.

Li Xuan jumped aside and shook his paws, but there was still a sense of arrogance.

"It's over, I can't have any more claws!"

Although he thought so, Li Xuan still found a tree and began to sharpen his claws.

Of course, his main purpose was to get rid of the unpleasant smell.

At the same moment, the eunuchs in colorful clothes looked at Li Xuan who was busy sharpening his claws, and then at the robbers who fell to the ground.

Especially when they saw the bloody wounds of the robbers, they were reminded of the deep sadness in their hearts, and the hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

Because of this, they looked at Li Xuan again with a sense of awe.

Seeing these eunuchs in colorful clothes standing there in a daze, Li Xuan meowed angrily and pointed with his tail at Xu Lang and the scarred man who were fighting lively on the other side.

These eunuchs in colorful clothes just woke up from their dreams, and immediately sent out some of the most powerful players to help Xu Lang.

The eunuch in colorful clothes does not follow any rules of the world when performing tasks. Everything is done first.

The man with the scar was already at a disadvantage, but now that he saw Xu Lang had a few more sixth-grade helpers, he immediately shouted in his heart: "My life is at stake!"

A look of determination suddenly appeared on his face, and then he launched an astonishing night battle in the midst of the siege.

It's just that the scarred man didn't seem to use this move very skillfully, and the blade actually touched his neck.

"No, stop him!"

A eunuch in colorful clothes noticed something was wrong and shouted a warning.

But the scarred man is skilled in swordsmanship, has death intentions, and is very fast in his attacks.

The scarred man had closed his eyes, just waiting for the ghost head knife in his hand to slit his throat and end his sinful life.

But then, the scarred man only felt numbness in the hand holding the knife, a slight chill on his neck, and warm liquid flowing out.

Although this was the first time for the scarred man to commit suicide, he had chopped off many people's heads and knew that this was not the way he felt.

He opened his eyes again in confusion, only to find that there was only a broken knife left in his hand, with some blood stains remaining on the broken surface.

The scarred man felt that his shoulders were a little heavy. He turned around and found that there was a little black cat standing there.

Before he could continue to think more, he saw the little black cat showing him a kind smile, and then had a close contact with the little black cat's head, and fell unconscious as soon as his vision went dark.

"Hey, is it possible that this guy has also practiced Iron Head Kung Fu?"

Li Xuan frowned in pain, and his face also wrinkled.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Xu Lang stepped forward quickly, and while speaking, he neatly broke the tendons of the scarred man's hands and feet.

Li Xuan shook his head and said that he was fine.

He originally wanted to sneak attack the scarred man, but he didn't expect that he happened to meet this guy and wiped his neck to commit suicide.

Li Xuan knew that this man would have greater value if he lived, so he rushed forward and blocked the knife with the Emperor Hong Bone Ring on his tail.

The Emperor Hong Bone Ring is indeed a rare ancient object in the world, and its quality is indestructible. It easily broke the scarred man's ghost-headed sword.

Of course, there is also the effect of the two forces adding together.

The man with the scar wiped his neck decisively, and Li Xuan also swung his tail with all his strength when he rushed forward, which resulted in this result.

But no matter what, the result is always good.

Li Xuan not only stopped the scarred man from committing suicide, but also knocked the guy unconscious, which was regarded as a complete surrender of the man.

Now that the scarred man had his hands and hamstrings broken by Xu Lang, he no longer had the power to resist, and it would be easier to interrogate him later.

Xu Lang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Xuan Wuwai.

To be honest, today's operation went much smoother than he expected.

Under the command of Xu Lang, the eunuchs in colorful clothes began to clean up the mess and gathered the surviving robbers together to control them.

Especially the scarred man, who is the leader of this group of robbers, is under strict supervision.

With so many people caught alive, it can be said that Xu Lang's mission of going out to investigate the case was completed perfectly.

Not to mention that they later found a lot of stolen goods from Ping An Trading Company in the camp.

Although a small part was destroyed by fire, a considerable part was preserved.

Moreover, these robbers were not stupid when stacking the goods. They placed the higher-value goods in the center, so the damage caused by Li Xuan's arson was not great.

Li Xuan went to take stock of the goods in person, and found a black and white lotus inside.

Li Xuan believed that this should be the yin and yang attribute of heaven and earth treasure mentioned by the two stewards, Ziwu and Tilian.

"Haha, it took no effort at all!"

Li Xuan held the box containing the Ziwu lotus and sniffed the fragrance of the lotus greedily with his nose, his expression full of satisfaction.

According to what Mr. Shang said, this Ziwu Bingdi Lotus is a mutated treasure of heaven and earth. Whether it has any specific effect and how to exert its effect requires someone to study it. You can't just eat it casually.

But no matter what, Ziwu and Tilian brought a glimmer of hope to Li Xuan, who was now having difficulty in practicing cultivation, which was always a happy thing.

After Li Xuan hugged Ziwu and Tilian for a while, he put the thing back into the cargo.

This thing was originally found for him, so Li Xuan was not in a hurry to put it away now.

After all, the goods here were all stolen from Ping An Trading Company, and they needed to be carefully inventoried. Only after Xu Lang's case was successfully concluded could he take away this treasure.

Li Xuan immediately greeted Xu Lang and told him to ask someone to take care of this treasure, otherwise he would be questioned if it was lost.

Xu Lang had also seen how Li Xuan treasured the parallel lotus before, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

The mission can fail, but the treasure Li Xuan cares about cannot be lost.

Xu Lang immediately understood the priorities.

The next thing is much simpler. They only need to take the goods back with the captured robbers.

However, in order to prevent the news from leaking and any setbacks on the way back, Xu Lang sent someone back that night to return orders and asked Zhao Feng to arrange someone to come over and respond.

Xu Lang was not sure that they had solved all the robbers tonight. It was normal for one or two secret detectives to leak out.

If the news had reached the person behind the robbers one step ahead, it was inevitable that someone would not ambush them on their way back.

These people dared to rob Ping An Trading Company's caravan in broad daylight. Who knows what else they might do.

Xu Lang's caution is also very reasonable.

When the sky got slightly brighter, they finished the finishing touches.

Xu Lang did not choose to return to the capital immediately, but chose to rest where he was until noon before setting off on his return journey.

They would definitely not be able to return to the capital in half a day.

When they came, they had two fast horses each, and it took them half a day to reach the cross slope.

Now they not only had more robbers to capture alive, but also had more goods from Ping An Trading Company, so the speed was even slower.

In half a day, at most, we can return to the Cross Slope Inn.

It's just that there are too many people at Crosspo Inn, so you may run into trouble.

But Xu Lang could only choose to travel during the day.

He secretly hurried back to Beijing at night. Although he was hidden, if he encountered a well-prepared ambush from the other side, it would actually cause him more trouble.

Regardless of whether the other party would ambush them on their way back, Xu Lang was not willing to take the risk.

Now that the mission was going so smoothly, he didn't want to lose all his advantages at the last moment because of his impatience.

After all, this is the boundary of the capital, and their apparent strength is not inferior to anyone's.

Xu Lang believed that as long as he acted steadily, it would be the other party who was anxious, not them.

When making these decisions, Xu Lang reported his thoughts to Li Xuan throughout the process and also solicited his opinions.

Li Xuan was positive about Xu Lang's idea.

"Be careful when nothing happens, and be calm when something happens."

"This Xu Lang will definitely be a talented person who can do good things in the future."

After several contacts, Li Xuan gradually became deeply impressed by Xu Lang.

In his eyes, Xu Lang is a reliable person who can get things done.
