Hearing this, the bearded man laughed indifferently and said: "Hey, you ask this, in fact, this is a well-known thing in Hongnong City, let me tell you???" Next, the bearded man

He then told the story about the Wu family's extermination, and the general content was similar to what the waiter said.

After hearing this, Zheng Lingxiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked up something that looked dark, oval-shaped, and had some small holes on it, and asked, "Uncle, what is this?"

The bearded man glanced at the thing, smiled awkwardly and said: "Hey, actually, I don't know what this thing is. To be honest with you, these things are all from some ancient tombs or some ancient caves.

It was dug out. We have been studying this thing you took for a long time, but we don't know what it is, so we put it out to see if anyone knows it."

Zheng Lingxiao snorted, and then said: "Sell it to me for how much. Hey, I'm most interested in these strange things. What if they are some kind of treasure?"

The bearded man smiled honestly and said: "Haha, ten gold coins, little brother, I have no intention of defrauding you. In order to get these things, several of us died, so??? Hehe."

Zheng Lingxiao didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile. After a while, he put the thing on his stall, said "leave", and started to leave. The bearded man became a little anxious when he saw it, and immediately shouted: "

Little brother, we have something to talk about, hehe, let me tell you, these things he???"

Zheng Lingxiao interrupted unceremoniously: "Uncle, I don't have the heart to listen to your nonsense. Since you are dishonest in business, what do we have to talk about." After that, he left again.

The bearded man grabbed his sleeve again, looked around, and said quietly: "Brother, aren't you interested in the affairs of the Wu family? How about this? I'll tell you some unknown news.

And what’s the price of this thing???”

Zheng Lingxiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Okay, but first, if your news is of no value or you are playing tricks on me??????"

"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!" The bearded man patted his chest, and then he asked someone to help him look at the stall and led the three of them to a relatively quiet teahouse on the street.

After everything was ready, the bearded man whispered: "Brother, do you know what the Wu family's identity was before?"

The three of them all shook their heads, and the bearded man smiled proudly and said: "Hey, let me tell you, they were arranged by Yunhe City ten years ago! If you go and ask around, you will know that the Wu family came here ten years ago.

They settled in Hongnong City and became one of the three major families in just one year. However, they are different from the local established forces. They rely not on the number of people, but on their strength. The strongest of the Wu family

They have actually reached the fifth level of swordsmanship, and there are as many as six strong swordsmen of other levels, which makes the other two major families dare not easily become enemies with them."

After hearing this, Zheng Lingxiao chuckled and said: "Even so, it doesn't mean that the Wu family was planted by Yunhe City. You know, such a powerful family is not a big cabbage."

"Hey, it's hard to hide where such a big family comes from. A little investigation will reveal that they are from Yunhe City. And based on the analysis of the situation there, it's not difficult to figure out this.

Here’s the answer.” The bearded man said.

Zheng Lingxiao pondered for a moment, then changed the subject and said: "If the Wu family is a spy planted by Yunhe City, then they must have spent a lot of effort and a huge price, but why did they send people to destroy them?"

The bearded man took a sip of tea and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother, this is easy to guess. Under what circumstances do you want to destroy the power that you have finally built up with your own hands?"

Brother Yi answered without hesitation: "Then there is only one situation, betrayal!"

The bearded man raised his thumb, flattered and continued: "That's it, the Wu family has long been rebellious, and has already made contact with the city lord's palace here, and also betrayed them in several places.

In our stronghold of Black Wind City, for this reason, Yunhe City cannot tolerate them!"

Zheng Lingxiao nodded and said: "It makes sense, but uncle, these are top secret information. How did you know about it? Could it be??????"

The bearded man immediately interrupted Zheng Lingxiao's next words and said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense. Although these information are relatively secret, they are not top secrets. For those who are truly interested, if you want to

It’s not difficult to find out, hehe, this information can also be sold for some money, right?”

Zheng Lingxiao nodded and continued to ask: "If your information only ends here, then to be honest, it is not worth it, because it has no other use except to satisfy curiosity."

The bearded man was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that the other party would say such a thing. After pondering for a moment, the bearded man's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light and he asked: "What price can you offer?"

After hearing these words, Zheng Lingxiao finally showed a smile on his face and thought: "Haha, how could the temperament of a scout escape my eyes? A scout came to sell groceries, haha." He pretended to think.

After two seconds, he spoke again: "I want all your information. Money is not an issue, but I am afraid that your information will be worthless."

Hearing Zheng Lingxiao say this, a smile appeared on the bearded face, and he thought: "My feeling is indeed right, this kid is definitely not what he seems on the surface, maybe he was sent by the Lord's Palace of Black Wind City

Detective, in this case, I can??????" Pretending to ponder for a moment, he looked at Zheng Lingxiao and confirmed again: "Are you sure you have enough money?"

Zheng Lingxiao didn't talk nonsense and took out a 10,000 gold ticket. The bearded eyes lit up, but then he shook his head again with a smile on his face and said nothing. This time, the two brothers were a little surprised. What kind of

News, it’s so expensive!

Zheng Lingxiao's expression remained unchanged and he added 20,000 gold. The bearded man still shook his head and added another 20,000 gold. The other party continued to shake his head.

Zheng Lingxiao did not continue to add more this time, but looked at the bearded man with a half-smile. He also said nothing, but the meaning was already obvious. The bearded man also knew that he should bring out some genuine products, and once again confirmed the four

There was no one around, so he whispered to the three of them: "Being able to destroy a force like the Wu family in just one hour means that the force deployed by the other party is extraordinary. Although we have not received specific information,

However, it can be analyzed that in Yunhe City, there are only three organizations in the City Lord's Mansion that can achieve this level. First, the City Lord's Iron Guard, which is the exclusive guard of Yunhe City Lord, with about twenty people.

According to outside legends, the captain of the guard is a sixth-level swordsman, but we guess that there is more than that. Among the rest of the team members, the lowest cultivation level is also a seventh-level swordsman, and their combat effectiveness and cultivation level are definitely

matched!"

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Second, the Punishment Guards, which are specially used by Yunhe City to punish traitors or those disobedient forces. They number about fifty, and the captain of the guards is

He is also a sixth-level swordsman, but the rest of them are weaker than the city lord's iron guards, mainly because there are not as many strong swordsman-level swordsmen as there are iron guards."

"Third, the Secret Guard is directly under the city lord. This guard is very mysterious and is basically unknown to the outside world. However, we do have some information about them. There are about thirty people in the Secret Guard. They mainly perform tasks that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

, For example, for assassination, we guess that the guard captain may also be a sixth-level swordsman, and there are also many swordsman-level experts, the specific number is unknown."

After saying this, the big beard looked straight at the child in front of him and stopped talking. Zheng Lingxiao smiled slightly, pushed the fifty thousand gold over, and then made a gesture to the big beard to continue talking.

The bearded man was stunned when he saw this, and then smiled bitterly. He knew that this time the other party wanted him to come up with the information first, and then give the money. He muttered: "Little brother, you are really shrewd." After a pause, he continued.

: "The Iron Guard is the city lord's guard, so it is naturally impossible for them to come out to perform such a task. The Secret Guard usually targets external forces. Therefore, the ones who come to carry out the extermination of the Wu family this time are most likely the Punishment Guard, so let's do it

Let’s focus on this disciplinary guard.”

Having said this, his expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Facing the disciplinary guards, it was impossible for the Wu family not to be able to fight back. However, during the post-mortem examination, it was found that all the middle and low-level swordsmen had been hit.

A kind of poison like a drug caused them to lose most of their strength, and the high-level swordsmen were targeted. For example, the fifth-level swordsman was attacked by two people. We infer that it should be the captain of the disciplinary guard and the

Vice-captain, that’s why the Wu family was defeated so quickly, but judging from the situation on the battlefield, the two of them must have been uncomfortable, and I’m afraid they were also seriously injured by that fatal blow.”

Zheng Lingxiao suddenly said: "In that case, the disciplinary guard should have returned to Yunhe City by now. After all, it has been almost a month."

The bearded man chuckled and said: "You guessed this wrong. The disciplinary guards did not go back. Of course, it's not that they didn't want to go back, but that they were stopped by the people from the city lord's palace. They are now in Lotus outside the city.

Hidden in the mountains.”

At this time, Wenren Qiaoer suddenly stopped and said: "No, you are not lying to us, are you? Since the punishment guards have been stopped by the people from the city lord's palace, how could they not be eliminated?

, don’t tell me that the people in the City Lord’s Mansion are all losers.”

But the bearded man sneered and said: "Little girl, you don't think that the other party is not fully prepared to carry out such a big mission, right? The other party is well prepared. In a big battle, both sides suffered numerous casualties.

He couldn't escape, so he had to hide in the Lianhua Mountain with complex terrain. First, he repaired and healed, and second, he waited for rescue. The main reason why the people from the City Lord's Mansion did not go into Lianhua Mountain to search was to deal with the reinforcements from Yunhe City.

Go, the battlefield is right on the border, you can see it anytime you go!"

Zheng Lingxiao nodded and said: "Since so much time has passed, the injuries of those people have probably been healed. Why don't they come out and go to the border to attack the people of the City Lord's Mansion from both sides?

There are also unexpected gains.”

The bearded man sneered again and said: "The city lord is not an idiot. Although he can't escape, there are five-level mercenary groups in the city. If you promise a large sum of money, those mercenary groups will spare no effort to search, so

, the Punishment Guards have never had any chance to settle down, and have always been in battle. Just five days ago, one of their swordsmen was killed, and his body was brought back."

At this point, the first brother suddenly gave him a thumbs up and said jokingly: "Uncle, you are really shrewd. You have already confirmed that you are a disciplinary guard, but you still insist on telling us what to say.

Lord Crane's three guards received 50,000 gold in vain. If this is revealed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to do business in the future."

Hearing this, the bearded man smiled awkwardly and said: "Hey, brother, don't you want to be angry? After all, that's not a big deal of news, right? In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't know such specific news about these three guards at all.

Well, right?"

Zheng Lingxiao, however, had no interest in chatting with him and said calmly: "Keep talking!"

The bearded man coughed twice and continued: "As of yesterday, twenty-three disciplinary guards have been killed, including three swordsmen. They were all committed by the three major mercenary groups. If this continues, I will

It is estimated that within ten days at most, all these disciplinary guards will be killed!"

Next, the scene became quiet. Zheng Lingxiao tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then asked: "You said there is a hidden guard in Yunhe City, so the disciplinary guard is about to be killed."

Well, wouldn’t they take action? Also, Yunhe City also has a high-level mercenary group, wouldn’t they be able to use this power?”

The bearded man gave Zheng Lingxiao a thumbs up and said: "Of course, but they are all blocked at the border, because the city lord has issued tasks to help defend the border in the nearest cities, and now they are gathered at the border

There are already hundreds of mercenary groups, with more than 10,000 people in total. If you are interested, just go there and have a look. What I said is true."

After the bearded man finished speaking, he stared at Zheng Lingxiao, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is the situation, look at the money behind you??????"

Zheng Lingxiao took out another 50,000 gold and said: "The information you shared earlier is not worth this price at all, so I will give you 100,000 for all your information. Well, you shouldn't be dissatisfied."

The bearded man didn't say much, he just sighed and walked out, and then the three of them also left. After returning to the inn, the first brother said: "Xiao Wu, do you think this news is reliable?"

Zheng Lingxiao said: "It should be reliable. That person is simply a scout, and I am sure that he has sensed that our cultivation level is not low, so he is willing to reveal the information to us."

Wenren Qiaoer was very surprised and said: "You mean, he deliberately told us the news instead of selling it to us!?"

"Of course, do you think such precious news is really worth only one hundred thousand? Under normal circumstances, I'm afraid you might not be able to buy it for one million." Wenren Qiao'er was about to speak, but he raised his eyebrows.

He interrupted with his hand and continued: "You know, the information from the Three Guards is extremely accurate. Do you know how much it costs to find out such information, and how much risk it takes to send such information out?

, In addition, not all cats and dogs know the specific location of the disciplinary guard, but he made it so clear. Even the number of the opponent's death and the number of strong men were also so clear. Do you think this kind of news is

Can ordinary people know this?"

Brother Yi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "Then, why would they send us such news? It can't be that they are out of their minds."

"Hey, you still can't figure it out. They are the people from the city lord's palace of Hongnong City. The reason why they did this is because of the instructions of the city lord. The purpose is very simple. They need to use the power of us people to help people as soon as possible.

I want to eliminate the disciplinary guard. I think our city lord has also informed the city lords of the city lords about the arrangements of Yunhe City. They are all aware of the seriousness of the problem, and Hongnong City is particularly important. Therefore, here

The city lord wants to destroy this force in Yunhe City, so that he will lose a big threat in the future." Zheng Lingxiao explained.

Wenren Qiaoer shook his head and said, "Oh, it's really complicated. So what are we going to do next?"

"Today we have dealt with everything that needs to be dealt with and replenished everything that needs to be supplemented. Then let's go to Lotus Mountain tomorrow. Haha, don't forget, the two little guys Xuan Yue and Xi Yue

It's still there, maybe this will be another great combat experience for us." Zheng Lingxiao said with a smile.

Lianhua Mountain looks like a huge blooming lotus from a distance. It covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers. It has high mountains and dense forests, and is extremely complex. Moreover, the level of the monsters in it is also very high. It is said that at the core

There are six-level monsters, and of course, there are also many treasures of heaven, materials, and earth. There is a local saying: "Once you enter Lotus Mountain, you will encounter the two heavens of life and death. It contains great terror, but also great opportunities."

The three of them walked slowly towards the mountain forest, as if they were taking a leisurely stroll. It was early in the morning, and the dewdrops were still hanging on the leaves, giving people a fresh and comfortable feeling. However, at this moment,

, but some inappropriate sounds came from not far away.
