Chapter 532 Blackwater City
To Li Mo's surprise, after he told Liu Yan that he was about to go to the imperial city, Liu Yan didn't have any objections, but uncharacteristically supported his approach. Just tell him to be safe, she will be waiting for him in the Zong!
One sentence is worth a thousand words, so how could Li Mo not know her heart.
In the early morning of the second day, Xuanyuan Wudi and Li Mo left Xianyangzong on a shuttle boat and headed straight for the direction of the imperial city without alarming anyone.
"Grandpa, how far is this imperial city from us?"
While controlling the shuttle boat, Li Mo asked Xuanyuan Wudi who was sitting beside him.
"Is the imperial city, located in the center of the entire continent. If we go at full speed, it will take at least three days!"
"Is it so long? Then do you think the old emperor will send troops directly within a few days?"
Li Mo still expressed his worries.
"Probably not. I think the emperor should have heard about the strength of our sect. How could he lead the conquest without being fully sure?"
After hearing Xuanyuan Wudi's words, Li Mo felt relieved.
"Grandpa, what's the emperor's name?"
"It should be called Liu Jing. I also heard it from others very early on!"
"Liu Jing? Then, does Grandpa know what kind of strength Liu Jing is?"
"Well... I really don't know. But Liu Ze is only at the level of a military commander. I think his elder brother Liu Jing is at most the strength of a martial soul. But as the current emperor, there must be a lot of people around him. There are a lot of expert protection, as to whether there are any strong martial arts like the master, we must be careful when we are in the imperial city!"
"Wu Zun? Grandpa can't, you never said such a thing in the sect?"
Li Mo was shocked when he heard this, if Liu Jing had a powerful Wu Zun around him. Then he and Xuanyuan Wudi's trip is basically going to die.
"I didn't say anything in the sect because I was afraid that everyone would worry! Don't worry, I have already discussed this matter with Master, and he will protect us in secret!"
"Ah! Are you saying that the old ancestor is also here? Then I can rest assured!"
Li Mo patted his chest and clothes, looking relieved.
"Look at how promising you are, when did your grandpa and I fight a battle that we were not sure of!"
Xuanyuan Wudi pretended to be angry, and cast a glance at Li Mo.
"Hey, Grandpa, I'm also worried that we won't be able to complete the task!"
Li Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hmph! You brat, your mouth is the only one!"
...
The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed for a whole day of flying. In the evening, they stopped at a place called Heishui City. Prepare to rest for one night and then go on the road tomorrow morning.
"Hey! Hey! Who are you two? The city gate is about to close, if you want to enter the city, come back tomorrow morning!"
A fat-headed and big-eared soldier stopped the two of them at the gate of the city.
What surprised Li Mo was that this soldier was actually a martial arts monk, and his cultivation was already at the level of a junior martial artist.
"Oh! My lord, we came from a far away place. It's getting late now. My grandfather's health is not good. Please let me in, please let me in."
As he spoke, Li Mo stuffed a hundred taels of silver bill into the hands of the fat soldier.
"Well! I think you are so filial, I will make an exception and let you in today!"
After speaking, the fat soldier was not stopping Li Mo, but ran to a dark place to check the bank notes in his hand.
"Bah! What!"
Li Mo muttered something in a low voice, and then entered Heishui City with Xuanyuan Wudi on his arm!
"Grandpa, didn't you find it strange that the soldier just now was a junior martial artist?"
"Yes, it stands to reason that the soldiers guarding the city gate should be mortals. Why are martial arts monks used here? Is there something going to happen here?"
Xuanyuan Wudi was also very puzzled.
"Hey! Never mind, let's find an inn to stay first. I'm really tired after controlling the shuttle boat for a whole day!"
After much deliberation, I still don't understand why, Li Mo didn't bother to meddle in his own business. Simply don't think about it anymore!
The sky was getting dark, and the streets of Heishui City were already empty. Occasionally, a few patrolling soldiers would appear. To Li Mo's surprise, all of these soldiers were composed of martial arts monks. Although the strength is very low, it can also be seen how strict the defense of Blackwater City is.
The two finally found an inn called Tongfu. After opening the room, Li Mo saw that there were several tables of guests drinking on the first floor of the inn, so he also ordered some food and wine and sat down with Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Xiao Mo, I don't think you're tired, you're still in the mood to drink here!"
Xuanyuan Wudi picked up the painted wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
"Hey, grandpa, didn't you come here because of your interest? Besides, this kind of place is the place with the most information! Maybe there are some things we are interested in!"
"Haha... you boy, come and have a drink with grandpa!"
Xuanyuan Wudi drank it down again.
...
"Brother, have you heard that our Heishui City, Iron City Lord is going to marry the daughter of the Chen family tomorrow?"
"What? Brother, is this serious?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that our Heishui City sent a lot of soldiers to patrol today?"
"Patrol? Does this have anything to do with the city lord's marriage?"
"Hey, brother, it seems that you really don't know anything about it at this time! I have a brother who works in the city lord's mansion, and he told me that the Chen family didn't want to marry their daughter to the city lord. The iron city lord was furious , sent people to surround the Chen family, and strengthened the vigilance to prevent the Chen family from escaping!"
"Isn't this a marriage snatching! Besides, how old is Tie Wuqing, and he still wants to marry Miss Chen. I heard that Chen Yuanyuan is really beautiful, isn't it clear that Tie Wuqing is making him a widow? Haha... ..."
"Hey, my brother, don't talk nonsense! If you let Tie Wuqing know about your life and mine, then Tie Wuqing is not getting married. He is clearly interested in Chen Tao's weapon refining skill. technique!"
...
With the strength of Li Mo and Xuanyuan Wudi, they can hear clearly no matter how small their voices are. At first, he was not very interested in the conversation between the two, but he put down the wine glass in his hand until they mentioned the word refining. They looked at each other and returned to the room.
"Grandpa, did you hear those two people mention the refining tool?"
"Nonsense, old man, I'm not deaf, how could I not be able to hear?"
"Grandpa, can you tell me something about refining?"
Li Mo was very curious about this, since this was the first time he had come into contact with a refiner since he came to this continent.
Xuanyuan Wudi twirled his beard, as if remembering something.
"I really don't understand the art of refining, but I know that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can learn. In addition to talent, you must also master the art of fire control to have a chance to become a refiner. The refiners on the Xuangu Continent compare their skills. Pharmacists are even rarer. Back then, I had an old friend who was proficient in this technique, but this person had a weird personality, defied power and was killed by traitors in the end!"
Hearing this, Li Mo immediately had a bold idea in his mind!
