Yin Ru Shu understood what he meant. The fewer people who knew, the better. He paced back and forth, hesitating.
Seeing his hesitation, Li Zhengfa cupped his hands and begged again, "Sect Leader, there is clearly a problem with this. If we don't investigate it and the Sage State finds out, the sect won't be able to escape the blame!"
Hearing this, Yin Ru Shu stopped. He finally made up his mind and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Zhengfa, "It's obvious. Why not anywhere else? Why near the Endless Desert? The next person might be hiding in the Endless Pavilion. I don't have enough manpower here. I need to mobilize a large number of people to monitor the Endless Pavilion and the meeting point. "
Yin Ru Shu, "Good! I give you the authority to mobilize the manpower you need. But let me say this first. Once you find something wrong, you must stop immediately. Don't drag the sect down. Otherwise, the sect won't let you off even if the Misty Pavilion lets you off! "
Li Zhengfa cupped his hands happily. "Thank you, Sect Leader. I will be careful!"
…
A mountain range. One end was a vast desert, the other a desolate wilderness.
Near the official road beside the wilderness, there was a yellow desolate town that was often attacked by wind and sand.
A man in grey with a walking stick flew from the direction of the desert. He flew over the mountain range and the wilderness. He landed outside the town and slowly walked into the town.
There was a table at the entrance of a small tavern. A person sat at the table and drank slowly. Seeing the walking stick, he put three fingers on the table and pointed at the steamed bun on the plate.
When the person with the walking stick passed the table, he took the steamed bun and went to the other side of the town.
After a while, two people quickly entered the town and came to a shop opposite the tavern. After entering the shop, one of them cupped his hands and reported to Li Zhengfa, who was quietly waiting inside, "Elder, they have already left the town and are heading towards the mountain range."
After changing his appearance, Li Zhengfa said, "Alright! Immediately order the spies in the mountain range to closely observe his whereabouts! "
"Yes!" The two disciples took the order and left.
Li Zhengfa, dressed as a merchant, also came out of the shop. He tilted his head and signaled. A waiter immediately came out of the tavern and dragged the person drinking at the door in.
Soon after, a group of people emerged from all over the town and flew in the direction of the person with the crutch.
After arriving at the Horizontal Mountain Range, two more people emerged from their hiding places in the mountains and saluted.
Li Zhengfa waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be overly courteous. He asked in a deep voice, "Did you see which direction the target went?"
Someone reported, "They went in the direction of the Boundless Pavilion."
Li Zhengfa's eyes lit up. "Good! As expected, it really is the Boundless Pavilion. "He turned around and asked the people in charge of surveillance," Have you remembered the target's attire and appearance? "
"Yes!" they replied in unison.
Li Zhengfa: "The other party shouldn't be using his true appearance. Immediately send the details of the other party's physique and attire to the people stationed in the Boundless Pavilion. Let everyone keep their eyes open. After discovering the target, make sure to confirm the other party's whereabouts and resting place. Tell them that no one is allowed to leak any information. They have to work in pairs and monitor each other! "
"Yes!" Someone acknowledged the order.
Li Zhengfa then said to another person, "Send a message to the first generation's scouts along the mountain range. See if the target has left in another direction."
One person acknowledged the order, "Yes!"
Li Zhengfa was waiting, waiting for news from all sides. When the Boundless Pavilion sent word that the target had been discovered, he immediately led his men to rush over …
After arriving at the Boundless Pavilion, Li Zhengfa found the person in charge of surveillance here and asked, "Is the target still at the Tianhu Inn?"
The person in charge replied, "Yes, we asked for a few rooms opposite of him for easier surveillance. Also, when the target entered the inn, he didn't register. It can be seen that he had already stayed here! "
"Let's go to the inn. The rest of you, continue to monitor here. "Li Zhengfa threw down these words and followed the person in charge straight to the Tianhu Inn.
After entering the inn, the person in charge directly led him to the room opposite the target.
Once inside the room, Li Zhengfa immediately asked the people who were watching from the window to move aside. He personally took a look and discovered that he could clearly observe the movements in the target's room …
And in the target's room, the target was reading a list of names. After reading it, he crushed it into ashes. "Sigh!" He sighed softly.
He was none other than Zhuge Chi.
According to the plan, he only needed to wait here. He didn't need to do anything else. He also didn't need to contact Lan Ming and tell him that Lan Ming would take the initiative to find him …
In another room, the disguised Yan Zhoutian stood with his hands behind his back.
The door opened and a trusted disciple entered. After closing the door, he walked to Yan Zhoutian's side and said in a low voice, "He has been watched."
Yan Zhoutian nodded slightly and took out a letter from his sleeve. "Go to the back of the inn and hand it to the guard. Say that it is a gift from an old friend to Lan Ming! After passing the letter, leave immediately. "
"Yes!" The disciple received the letter and left.
…
In front of the blue crystal window, Lan Ming stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the flood dragon swimming freely in the water. He himself was also lost in thought.
The Boundless Pavilion's Chief Steward, Ban Hai, came and handed over the letter. "Pavilion Master, someone sent a letter to the guard. He said that it was your old friend who asked him to pass it to you."
Lan Ming: "Which old friend?"
Ban Hai's expression was solemn. "You should take a look at the letter yourself."
Lan Ming turned around and grabbed the letter. He realized that there were only a few words on it: An old friend from Wolf Lake has come to visit. Room D6 awaits!
"Old friend from Wolf Lake …" Lan Ming frowned. He recalled the meeting with Shao Pingbo at Wolf Lake. He couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Shao Pingbo came?"
Ban Hai: "When I received the letter and checked, I realized that something was wrong. I immediately asked the people in the inn. Looking at his appearance, it shouldn't be him."
The corner of Lan Ming's mouth twitched. It wasn't Shao Pingbo? At that time, other than him and Shao Pingbo, there was another person. Could it be that person came?
Such a confidential matter shouldn't be known by unrelated people. Even if it wasn't that person, it should be someone in that group.
He had always wanted to know who that group of people were, but Shao Pingbo was unwilling to tell him. Now that the person came, it was just as he wished. He wanted to see who the other party was. If the other party knew him and he didn't know the other party, it would really make him uncertain.
"Room D6 …" Lan Ming muttered. Shua, he destroyed the letter. He turned around and said, "Prepare a set of clothes for me. I will go and meet him."
"Yes!" Ban Hai received the order and left.
Soon, a disguised Lan Ming walked out of the pavilion and directly entered from the back of the inn. He looked left and right, walked to the door of room D6, and knocked on the door.
Hearing the person who was observing from the window crack say that someone had met with the target, Li Zhengfa immediately walked to the door and observed from the crack. He saw the person who knocked on the door.
Inside the room, Zhuge Chi turned around and walked to the door. He opened the door and looked at the disguised person. Then, he let the person in and closed the door.
After entering and observing the room, Lan Ming's gaze landed on the other party again. He found that the person's appearance was not right. He didn't look like the person who attacked him at Wolf Lake. He immediately asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Zhuge Chi didn't waste any time. He lifted his hand and tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
Lan Ming was stunned. He stared at the other party's appearance and realized that this person looked a little familiar. He seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Then, he suddenly reacted and pointed at the person in shock. "You … Could you be Zhuge Chi?"
Now that the wanted posters of Zhuge Chi and Hai Wuji were out and posted everywhere, the Boundless Pavilion was no exception. Naturally, he had seen them before.
The portraits might be slightly different from the person in question, but they were roughly similar. Connecting this to the fact that Zhuge Chi had been taken away, he naturally had an answer to his suspicions.
Zhuge Chi didn't hide anything from him and followed his plan. He nodded and said, "That's right, I am!"
After receiving confirmation, Lan Ming instantly panicked. He moved closer to Zhuge Chi and whispered angrily, "Are you crazy? Don't you know that people are looking for you everywhere? How dare you come here to meet me?" He wasn't afraid that Zhuge Chi would be discovered, but he was afraid that he would be implicated.
He had come to meet to confirm who those people were. In the end, it was actually Zhuge Chi. This joke had gone too far.
Zhuge Chi looked at him quietly and didn't say anything. Suddenly, he made a move and pressed down on Lan Ming's shoulder, preventing him from moving.
Lan Ming was shocked. "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to mess around. "
Zhuge Chi didn't have any other intentions. He lifted his hand and tore off Lan Ming's mask, confirming that the other party was indeed Lan Ming.
He had seen Lan Ming's appearance given to him by the people from Niu Youdao. Indeed, it was Lan Ming.
He let go of Lan Ming and threw the mask back.
Lan Ming was furious, but he couldn't really flare up against this kind of person. He whispered, "Why are you looking for me?"
Zhuge Chi replied, "The most dangerous place is also the safest place. I want to stay in the Boundless Pavilion from now on. Please help me make arrangements!"
Lan Ming gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of joke is this? What kind of place is this? There are so many eyes watching. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. This definitely won't happen! "
In short, he was resolutely against it. No matter how Zhuge Chi discussed it, it wouldn't work. In the end, they could only part on bad terms.
Lan Ming put on his mask again. Before he left, he said, "Get out of here as soon as possible!" He opened the door and ran out.
Zhuge Chi, who was holding the door open, looked outside before slowly closing it.
Li Zhengfa, who was looking through the crack in the door, immediately saw Zhuge Chi's appearance clearly. Zhuge Chi was still wearing his original clothes, but his true appearance was revealed. Li Zhengfa slowly moved away from the crack in the door and frowned. He muttered, "Why does this person look so familiar?"
The expression of the person leaning against the window changed. He stood up and said in a trembling voice, "Elder, he looks like the person on the wanted poster!"
Actually, Li Zhengfa could easily remember who it was. After all, he was here following the trail of the remnants of the State of Zhao. With the reminder, he suddenly realized who it was and exclaimed in shock, "Zhuge Chi!"
The disciple nodded. "It looks like him! It shouldn't be wrong. It's easy to imagine who could force the State of Zhao's spies to hand over the name list. "
Li Zhengfa's eyes immediately lit up. If they really found Zhuge Chi, then it would be a great merit. They would have passed the hurdle of death!
He excitedly paced back and forth in the room. "Who would have thought! Who would have thought that hard work pays off. We actually managed to catch such a big fish! "
Naturally, it was impossible to capture him personally. Even a group of people together wouldn't be enough to kill him. All he had to do was report this information to the higher-ups!
Thinking of the contact person from the Misty Pavilion, he couldn't help but click his tongue. "As expected, he's in cahoots with the Misty Pavilion. No wonder he was able to get the news in advance and escape. He's really bold to dare hide in the Boundless Pavilion! Oh right, who was the contact with him just now? Go and ask someone from another angle. "
"Yes!" The disciple obeyed and left.
