Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 686: Investigation Team

Ganzhou, Huangtu Town.

The last time Li came here, it was because of a distress letter. After nearly half a year, there are still not many changes here. The ten-state war has hardly had any impact on this remote town, and even the deserters and defeated soldiers are unwilling to patronize this place.

The town is regarded as the only way to Baiyao Mountain in the south of Ganzhou. If a large army enters the deep mountain, they will choose Huangtu Town as the last foothold in all likelihood. However, Li did not find any signs of activities of tens of thousands of people. The people in the town lived a repetitive and monotonous life, as if they were isolated from the world.

She found an inn to rent.

"I've searched outside, and no one is following us." Shan Hui jumped into the room from the window, turning back into a human form.

Li took off his turban, revealing the pointed ears on the top of his head, "Very well, everyone can take a rest. The connector should arrive at night, if it is not necessary, we should not leave the room."

Along with her on this trip, apart from her old subordinates Tengu and Gun Gun, there are also the owl demon Wulie and the rabbit demon Jiulin. As a reconnaissance team, it can be said that they can fly and run, and it is easy to climb mountains and mountains. The disadvantage...it is also obvious, that is, everyone needs to hide their appearance characteristics, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Among these people, Jiulin is the most special one.

She seems to be slightly different from the other rabbit demon sisters, and she is naturally more courageous. This can be seen from the fact that she was the first to stand up and express her willingness to leave with Li and others when she was in Yuetai Villa. Although the rabbit demon can't run as well as Tengu and Li, and her strength is only slightly greater than ordinary people, but her natural magic ability can heal various traumas, she is really the best logistics candidate for the reconnaissance team.

Li didn't think of taking her with him at first, Jiulin happened to live next door to Wulie, so she came here by herself. According to her, compared to living a peaceful life in one place, she prefers the days when she was performing tasks with the Privy Council of the Bureau.

As for the owl demon, his complexion is much better than before. Since his younger sister has no worries about food and clothing, the smile on his face has obviously enriched a lot. Facing Li's invitation to join the team, he did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

An elite reconnaissance team composed entirely of demons was thus formed.

"Boss... are you okay?" After the others left the room, Shan Hui suddenly looked at Li Dao cautiously.

Li frowned, "Huh? Do I have any questions?"

The latter suddenly shrank his head, "No, why is there a problem with the boss... I am worrying too much."

"Then why do you ask that?" Li squinted and asked.

"Uh... because this is the first time you have taken the initiative to apply for a mission to stay away from Master Xia." Shan Hui thought about his wording, and replied cautiously, "In the past, there were several times when we split up, but they were all in cooperation with Master Xia..."

He closed his mouth halfway through.

Because the survival instinct was suddenly activated.

An invisible chill suddenly traveled from the back to the whole body.

"Ah... I remembered, the basement of the inn hasn't been checked yet, if there is an alchemist from the Privy Council hiding there, it will be troublesome. I'll go talk about the situation first!"

After finishing speaking, Shan Hui turned back into a Shiba Inu, and ran out of the room in a flash.

After a while, Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

She shook her head, walked to the basin filled with clean water, and wanted to wash her face. But when she saw the reflection in the water, she fell into a daze for a moment.

She knows what happened in Fengyang Villa. After all, she was also one of the escorts that day, and she was free to enter and leave the bedroom. The difference from Mo Yun is that her hearing is more sensitive, and she has Rolling Eyeliner as her eyeliner, so her intelligence acquisition efficiency is much higher than others.

Although the two of them really only talked in detail about their trip to the West Pole that night, Li Neng noticed that Ning Wanjun's feelings for Xia Fan had changed from before. From a certain point of view, she hopes so. After all, she is a demon, and it is impossible for her to occupy the position of the master. Now that the princess has an idea, she can be more active.

The relationship between human beings is very complicated, and she still hasn't fully understood it, but one thing Li can confirm is that with the status of Her Royal Highness or the future king, few people can shake her will, so she doesn't mind too much about Xia Fan and relationship with other women. In addition, Ning Wanjun is not mean to others, he is really a rare wise and superior person, so it can be said that he is the best candidate. This matter is also good news for Li.

But even though it was good news, she still felt a little sad in her heart.

It's like the dots of black spots mixed in the full moon of the fifteenth day—even if it can't cover up the brightness of the moonlight, it's not so subtle that people can ignore it.

This kind of joy was accompanied by a hint of loss, and it was the first time that Li left Jin Xia on his own initiative, trying to divert his attention with tasks.

Time is always the best helper to soothe emotions.

In fact, the moment she arrived in Huangtu Town, she was in a much better mood than a few days ago.

After only ten breaths of time in a daze, Li smiled hoarsely, and stretched out his hand into the water, disturbing his own reflection.

...

In the evening, the connectors arrived as scheduled.

To Li's surprise, it was none other than Mu Youhong, the original owner of the caravan. He donated the Baekje caravan to Empress Li, and still bears the responsibility of operation and expansion, and he is busy on weekdays. Unexpectedly, after receiving Li's notice, he personally rushed to Huangtu Town to cooperate with the investigation team.

"Lord Linghu, long time no see." Mu Youhong walked into the room, and smiled when he saw Li.

"Don't call me Lord Linghu, just call me Li." Li waved his hand, "The mute sign has been placed here. Although the room is a bit small, there is no need to worry about news leaking. If you have any news, you can speak directly."

Naturally, Huangtu Town does not have any high-end rooms or reception hotels, and the small room in the inn has become the only choice for the meeting point. Fortunately, there will be no alchemists paying attention to remote places, and the safety can be guaranteed.

"Then I'll tell you." Mu Youhong arched his hands to the others, then took out a small map from his pocket and spread it out in front of everyone, "The team you mentioned did pass by Gan a week ago. Baili Town, Zhou. According to the information obtained by the caravan, this team did not enter the town, but was stationed in the outskirts like an army, with all kinds of camps and stoves. Their numbers are very large, at least 50,000. Therefore, the news cannot be wrong!"

Li's heart froze.

Luo Qingqing's information is correct, this group of people is indeed coming towards the border of Ganshen!

A relocation team of 50,000 people would definitely not be able to hide their whereabouts. Next, as long as Wu Lie flew around, he could basically lock the position of the Heimen Sect.

"When will they arrive in Huangtu Town?" Li asked.

Unexpectedly, Mu Youhong did not answer right away, but showed a bitter expression, "This... I don't know. In fact, their appearance in Baili Town was the last news the caravan heard."

The fox demon was stunned, "What do you mean? It's impossible for this team to disappear, right?"

Mu Youhong took a deep breath, "That's what my subordinates reported. Overnight, 50,000 people suddenly disappeared in the suburbs of Baili Town, and no one saw them again."
