Honglu was also surprised and asked, "Who beat you like this?"
"The guards of Yongquan Villa." The second disciple wiped the blood from his nose. "I was wandering around the villa and saw the guards throwing out a few refugees. Although they were whipped, they were not dead and their limbs were not broken. So I had an idea and hid half a cake on my body. I also disguised myself as a refugee and sneaked into the villa. I hid here and there for about an hour until I was discovered by the guards and expelled."
As soon as he entered the villa, he picked two fruits. Once the guards caught him, they would find fruits and gnawed bread on him and think he was a refugee who came in to steal food. They would just beat him up and throw him out of the villa.
"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child." The master of Honglu praised him and said to the other two disciples, "See, this is the right attitude to do things!"
If it weren't for the pain in his back, the second disciple would have stood straighter: "Thank you for the compliment, Master!"
"What have you found out?" The owner of Honglu took out a sand table and placed it on the ground, but did not start it.
The second disciple picked up a branch and drew a direction on the sand table: "I climbed in from the northwest corner. There is only a wine shop and two warehouses here. Going south along the lake, there are two rows of houses where people live. Judging from their clothes, they look like guards..."
He described the layout of the buildings he had investigated, including three kitchens, four or five halls, and several tall and magnificent buildings. In fact, in such a huge villa, it was difficult for him to locate so many things with his naked eyes, but the second disciple released the insect puppets to collect information.
"The further south you go, the more people there are. It's hard to hide." The second disciple pointed to the south of the sand table and said, "I didn't make it to the south end, but the target's residence is likely there. I only saw a spire and was caught."
"It's possible. The architectural pattern in Tianshui City emphasizes facing south and being respectful." The owner of Honglu stroked his chin, "What about the man with the surname Wei?"
The second disciple shook his head: "I didn't find it."
He didn't know the other person's height or appearance, so how could he find him based on his name alone?
"This little information is far from enough." The owner of Honglu's eyes flickered, "It seems that I have to go there in person."
The second disciple said, "I came out in a hurry, and more than a dozen insect puppets landed in the villa."
He was driven out, so of course he had no time to take back the insect puppet.
"It's okay, I'll take it back." The owner of Honglu stood up. He still had to get the target's schedule from Qingyang.
He soon realized that He Xiao was an extremely busy man.
This guy was devoted to the capital's eastward expansion project and often did not return to Yongquan Villa for two or three days. At the construction site, he was surrounded by hundreds of guards at all times.
Without a doubt, the best place to take action is Yongquan Villa. People are most relaxed in their own territory, so the owner of Honglu must know the place thoroughly.

The Frost Sea in the north-central part of the Gold Plains.
Residents on the coast know that this sea has a bad temper. Ten months a year, the waves are raging, and ordinary people dare not go into the water. Only in the two months of winter when the cold is oppressive, the river surface becomes calm.
But the weather is so cold that the breath turns to ice in the northern part of the Golden Plains. Who would go to the sea?
some.
There are now five sailboats on the sea, sailing downstream. The vast sea is completely silent. Except for the flowing clouds and mist, only these few boats are still moving.
There was a man in white standing at the bow, looking out at the Tianjiang River.
He likes the feeling of riding the waves.
The servant came over from behind and reported: "Sir, we have passed the turbulent waters. The boatman said that the rest of the journey will be smooth."
Bai Ziqi nodded, turned around and walked back to the cabin.
The boat had just been bumpy, so he could not act properly. Only when the wind was calm and the boat was silent did Bai Ziqi close the cabin door and the air window and place a few incense sticks on the altar.
He used the ready-made square table in the cabin as an altar and placed a statue on it.
The smoke curled up and condensed into a blurry face in the air. Even the facial features could not be seen clearly, but there was an inexplicable majesty.
Seeing the smoke, Bai Ziqi immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated himself:
"Greetings to my lord!"
His expression, his voice, and his movements were all extremely respectful. Because the person he was requesting to communicate with was the supreme head of all gods, the undisputed leader of all the gods in the spirit world.
Holy Lord Lingxu!
A powerful and upright voice seemed to come from the void: "What's the matter?"
Bai Ziqi still lay on the ground and dared not look up: "My Lord, I have been following the clues of Qian Huan Zhenren and have already tracked him to Qian Xing Mausoleum. But there are so many obstacles here that even the lamp spirits cannot figure it out. There are some tricks that even Yuanli cannot do anything about."
He tried for several days.
The mission encountered new obstacles, and as a servant of God, he of course sought help from the gods he served.
"Qianhuan's method." The voice of Saint Lingxu had the effect of lingering in the ears for three days.
"Yes."
The things that even the lamp spirits in the heavenly palace could not illuminate had great magical powers. From this point of view, Bai Ziqi did not chase the wrong destination.
The cabin was quiet for a few breaths, and then Saint Lingxu issued a new instruction: "Miaozhantian, the Eye of Truth."
Miao Zhantian's Eye of Truth can theoretically break through all illusions. This is the supreme magic of the righteous gods, and Bai Ziqi's lamp spirit cannot be compared with it. Using it to break the illusion of Qianhuan Zhenren is called professional matching. Bai Ziqi was overjoyed: "Thank you for your teachings, Saint!"
The smoke in the cabin dissipated suddenly, and Saint Lingxu had already taken away his divine consciousness. After Bai Ziqi stood up, he bowed to the statue again.
At this moment, the ship shook violently with a loud bang.
The altar was fixed in the cabin and did not move, but other things in the cabin rolled all over the place, and even Bai Ziqi staggered.
Did this hit an underwater reef?
As soon as he opened the door, Bai Qi rushed down the wooden ladder: "Sir, there is something attacking us underwater!"
"Water monster?" Bai Ziqi took two steps forward but did not rush onto the deck. Instead, he looked out through the window.
If you rush out, you might be exposed to the enemy's sight. Who doesn't know the principle of catching the leader first?
"It's hiding underwater. We've already sent out the lantern spirits to investigate." Bai Qi was also watching the water surface, and suddenly pointed outside and shouted, "Bai Shiyi's boat!"
Bai Ziqi gave all his trusted men and guards the surname Bai + a number, regardless of their original names.
There were no protruding rocks on the water, but Bai Shiyi's boat was stuck. The surrounding sea was like boiling water, churning and bubbling. The Bai family guards shouted a few words, shot crossbows into the water, and some threw long spears into the water as if they were javelins to stab fish.
Then the boat shook violently again and then swayed wildly.
Anyone could see that something was attacking it under the water!
Several lamp spirits rushed into the water, shining brightly.
With their brightness, they could have illuminated every detail below the sea surface, as if it were glass water.
The moment the lights came on, everyone subconsciously took a breath, because they indeed saw several huge figures underwater, which were two or three times larger than the boat!
But then a black smoke spread from the bottom of the water, which was deeper than the nightmare. No matter how hard the lamp spirit tried, it could not shine through the layers of darkness.
All they could see was a little golden light occasionally emerging from the darkness. It was the lamp spirit fighting with the monster under the water.
Someone on the boat jumped into the water, trying to swim out of the dark area.
Bai Qi yelled, "Don't go into the water, stay on the boat!"
But it was too late. After swimming for a few feet, the two men were suddenly pulled by something and disappeared from the water.
Bai Ziqi said in a deep voice: "Ignite the Holy Flame!"
Bai Qi used his true strength and shouted the order.
The light operators on several boats near and far made hand seals at the same time, and suddenly a bright light appeared under the water!
It was like the sunrise suddenly appeared under the sea.
Several lamp spirits shone brightly together, dispelling all the haze in just two breaths.
Not only that, the water temperature below the hull suddenly rose, and Bai Qi observed that hot steam began to rise from the water surface.
You know, the sea water temperature in the Frost Sea is around zero degrees at this time.
The holy flame suddenly burned, not only boiling the small area of water, but also sending strands of golden light into the monster's body.
The monsters under the water couldn't stand it and fled in all directions instantly.
Soon, the sea returned to calm.
Bai Shiyi's boat stopped to repair the hole, and after further counting, it was found that five people were lost, three dead and two missing.
Bai Qi said angrily: "It's really a maggot attached to the bone."
Since the White Hair Mountain, they found themselves being tracked, and they tried several methods but couldn't get rid of them. Going to the White Hair Mountain to check the formation was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
The opponent can even summon the sirens.
"After repairing the boat, turn south and land at Horseshoe Harbor." Bai Ziqi ordered calmly, "We are going to Yao Country."
Even if he could figure out the location of the cave of Qianhuan Zhenren, he still didn't have enough manpower to dig the cave. So, he had to go to Yao Country and ask for the help of the goddess.
There are still several clues waiting for him to investigate in Yaoguo.
"Yes!"
The guards never questioned his orders, and several boats quickly turned south and headed towards the land.

Fan Shuang was in a bad mood.
Ever since he led He Xiao into Tianshui City, he has been doing very well. He can now socialize with dignitaries whom he might not see for a whole year; his colleagues now look at him with more envy and respect.
Even when Fan's father went to see his boss, the other party was always in high spirits and friendly.
Just when she was about to become successful, Fan Shuang wanted to sell all the residential land she bought in the new city!
When he got home and told his family about it, everyone disagreed.
The price seems to be soaring at this time, and there is no sign of it stopping going up. Why do you have to sell it at this moment?
How much money will be lost if it is sold!
But Fan Shuang was determined to sell it and had five quarrels with her family within two days.
Father Fan was surprised: "Did you get any inside information from Mr. He?"
Fan Shuang shook her head like a wave drum: "No, really not, I just feel that the price of residential land in Xincheng has increased too much, and I feel uneasy."
He couldn't tell the reason why He Xiao advised him to sell the land.
Because there is no reason at all.
"Then why are you so anxious?" His mother also said, "Recently, the price of food has skyrocketed, but your father's salary has not increased. Fortunately, the value of the house and land has also increased sharply, so it is not too tight. If you sell the house and land, you will have nothing but dead money in your hands, while the household expenses such as rice, flour, grain and oil have increased dramatically. What should you do?"
