Late at night, Suishenju fell asleep and slept very soundly.

The girl from Room Nine gently woke Honglian up and said, "Do you really want to go out? If not, just move to another room. Let's not waste our time."

"I want to go out, but now is not the right time."

"How long do you want to wait? Wait until that lunatic has mercy and lets you go?"

Honglian reminded him, "Speak softly. Zhao Xiaowan has sharp ears and is deeply in love with him. If you call him a lunatic and Zhao Xiaowan hears you, be careful that she will kill you."

"Zhao Xiaowan? I don't think she is Zhao Xiaowan. She should be Huang Yuxian. Her singing style and methods are exactly the same as hers."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if I can admit my mistake, can Hong Ying admit her mistake? Stop playing tricks on me. Wait a little longer. When the time is right, I will naturally help you get out."

Miss Nine laughed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the right time. I can see that you don't want to leave at all. You just want to eat his meat."

"I'm greedy for him? You think I'm starving..."

call!

The door of Room 9 was suddenly opened. Li Banfeng slid sideways, lifted his right shoulder, dragged his left leg, and came in front of Honglian: "Ya, cha cha cha, everyone dance, don't be shy, don't be shy!

Oh, cha-cha-cha, it's not fashionable for you to learn rumba, and it's not romantic for you to learn samba—."

Li Banfeng jumped and carried Honglian to the main room.

Honglian was very surprised: "You are dancing a marionette dance from another state, why are you singing Cha Cha Cha?"

Li Banfeng explained: "Because I am a puppet who can dance the cha-cha."

"It's the bone axis that is twisted. How many puppets have you seen with cross bones?"

"Hua Jiuer, how many lotus flowers have you seen that can make elixirs?" Li Banfeng carried Honglian to the main room.

Put it on the ground covered with blood and flesh, "Eat it!"

Honglian snorted coldly: "Others will only think of me when they have leftovers."

"Eat more cleanly and don't make the floor slippery." Li Banfeng continued dancing while holding the record player. The noise was louder and even woke up the old man.

"Ah Qi! You came back so late at night and you still can't be quiet!"

Li Banfeng hugged the record player and slid back and forth: "Grandpa, winter is coming, and the family needs to store food. We can't rest for the next two days. Grandpa, do you think my dance steps are solid?"

The record player was in Li Banfeng's arms, and he shook her until she felt dizzy: "Husband, why are you so into dancing? Are you going to become a dancer?"

"It's impossible to join the industry. Other states are trying to capture Du Wenming. I'm afraid this guy will do something desperate. I have to take some precautions."

Hong Ying wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Qilang, are the food brought back these two days related to Du Wenming?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Yes! These poor people died in his hands!"

Through his investigation of Goncharova, Shen Jingye came to a very critical conclusion that the infiltration of the Birch Tree Hermitage into Huanguo had already threatened the security of Huanguo.

The reason is very simple. The Birch Tree Hermitage has the idea of controlling Pro Province. Huanguo’s control over Pro Province is not too strong, but it will never hand Pro Province over to others.

The higher-ups gave orders that the Birch Tree Hermitage must be cleaned up and Du Wenming must be captured with all efforts.

We must do our utmost to control Yu Yaoming and recover his experimental equipment.

Shen Jingye could sense the change in attitude among his superiors. As for Du Wenming, they were still doing their best to capture him, but as for Yao Ming, they had switched to controlling him.

Yu Yaoming did kill someone, and the impact was extremely bad.

But this person is too capable, and his superiors obviously want to protect him.

If you encounter Yu Yaoming, you must be careful when dealing with him, but you don't have to show mercy to the Priory.

Over a period of more than a month, the Dark Star Bureau destroyed more than a dozen strongholds of the monastic order.

Although the investigation has made great progress, Du Wenming is too rampant and cruel. He has killed more than a dozen key members of the monastery.

Those who were silenced are now in Suishenju.

Hong Ying was a little confused: "It was clearly Du Wenming who murdered people to silence them, so why did all these people come to our house?"

Honglian said unhappily, "Because Du Wenming is a basket, everything can be put into it."

Hong Ying laughed and said, "Isn't that like you, I've become a drain tank?"

Honglian snorted, collected the remaining flesh and blood, and handed the Xuanyun Pill that he had refined last time to the record player.

The record player counted the pills and said, "Excluding the ones my husband took before, there are now seventeen Xuan Yun Pills.

This number should be enough.”

"What do you mean by 'enough'?" Li Banfeng didn't quite understand. "You can only take half a pill at a time. What do you need so much for?"

"It's hard to say how much I'll eat in the future, but you can never have too much of this kind of good stuff!"

Li Banfeng looked at his pocket watch. It was almost time to send his wife to the laboratory for scientific research.

Li Banfeng has put a lot of effort into his wife's research project. In addition to capturing key members of the Birch Tree Hermitage, Li Banfeng has spent all his time in the laboratory.

A lot of effort has been put into every detail and every layout of the laboratory.

At first it was for boundaries, then for the wife.

Ever since my wife followed Li Banfeng, she has been staying in Suishenju. Occasionally, when she wants to go out for some fresh air, she has to discuss it with Suishenju with great effort.

My dear wife can wash clothes and cook, understand mathematics and physics, give advice, and manage the household finances. She is decisive on the battlefield and gentle on the engine oil. She can sing songs when she wants to listen to them and sing operas when she wants to listen to them. Where can you find such a good man?

Now that he has finally got the chance to change his wife's environment, Li Banfeng decided to work hard!

Li Banfeng wanted to give his wife a surprise, so after lunch, he waved his hand and his coat flew over and was put on him.

Hong Ying was surprised and said, "This technique is very well practiced!"

The record player smiled and said, "My husband has this great talent. He learns everything quickly."

Hong Ying shook her head and said, "It's different. Qilang can't learn other skills so quickly! He has been learning to ride the wind and clouds for a long time, but he still can't fly steadily."

Gloves said, "The boss is used to running and doesn't like flying. It's hard to find things if they are lost, but the boss really cherishes the things at home."

Li Banfeng picked up his wife and was about to go out, but Suishenju was unhappy: "You want to go out now?

We’ll talk about it when we get there!”

Li Banfeng wanted to take the opportunity to take his wife out for more walks, but he couldn't fool Suishenju with his thoughts.

After spending so many days together, why is Sui Shenju still so wary of his wife?

Li Banfeng left his residence, went to Huahu Park, and ran all the way to Tiemenbao. He did not go to Qiqiu City first, but went to a barren mountain in Tiemenbao.

On the barren mountain, Li Banfeng checked the photovoltaic panels hanging on the cliff, then went into the cave and said hello to a few good friends.

"Lingling, are you full?

"Nannan, did you eat a lot this time?"

"Tongtong, let me feel if you are fat!"

Several huge batteries jumped into Li Banfeng's arms. The values on the electronic screen exploded and bursts of red light appeared on his body.

These batteries were able to trip because Li Banfeng used his own counting skills.

They didn't stay in Suishenju for a long time, and their contact with Li Banfeng was not long either, but Li Banfeng had feelings for them.

Li Banfeng danced the puppet dance and took the batteries into Suishenju. After Li Banfeng came out, they continued to dance the puppet dance all the way to Qiqiu City.

These batteries are for use in the laboratory, but the laboratory is in Qiqiu City. Why is Li Banfeng charging them in Tiemenbao?

Li Banfeng has seven charging stations in seven different locations. Trying to find the laboratory through the charging stations is completely futile.

After arranging the batteries, Li Banfeng carried his wife out of his personal residence.

The lights in the laboratory were turned on. Concerned about wasting electricity, my wife told Li Banfeng, "We're only going to use the interferometer today, so just turn on one light."

Li Banfeng didn't listen to his wife and turned on all the lights in the laboratory.

Li Banfeng has also become familiar with these lights. Some are very bright, some are very dim, and some flicker, making the laboratory look like a large dance floor in Xiaoyaowu.

Li Banfeng held the record player and danced in the aisle between the equipment.

The most sensible lamp moved back and forth on the ceiling, chasing Li Banfeng and the record player all the way, attracting the attention of all the equipment in the laboratory to the two people.

The record player buried the speaker in Li Banfeng's arms and said softly, "Yingying is right. Your Jiazhen's self-counting skills are really well practiced. These things have hardly been at home. Why do they listen to you so much?"

"Because I really treat them as my family members," Li Banfeng pointed to the lamp above his head, "This lamp is called Aliang. When I chose him, he was very good at expressing himself. Among so many lamps, he was the first one I liked.

There is also the lamp in the corner. His name is Ah Hui. He is an honest man who is not very expressive, but he is very down-to-earth. He flickers in the corner and is particularly good at creating atmosphere.

And that lamp, called Ah Hua, changes color and becomes especially suitable for the occasion. I don’t need to design it, and the lighting effects are always new every time.”

The record player laughed and said, "No wonder Jiazhen learned the art of counting so quickly. It's all thanks to her husband's personality.

Over the years, my husband has treated every magical item in the house as a family member. Except for the pair of scissors he threw away that year, he has never given up a single possession."

Li Banfeng sighed, "Thinking of the scissors, I feel a little sad. I will find them someday.

We must also take them back together."

The record player hugged Li Banfeng tightly and whispered, "You treat them as human beings, and I treat them as human beings too. Don't let them keep looking at me, or I'll feel ashamed.

"Why are you ashamed? My wife is so beautiful. It's their blessing for them to see her."

Upon hearing this, the record player was delighted, but also a little disappointed: "If I were in my original appearance, I really wouldn't be afraid of seeing it. Anyone who sees me would sincerely say that I'm pretty."

Li Banfeng said: "I'm sincere, I just think you're pretty!"

"I know you are sincere----" The record player sighed softly and danced with Li Banfeng for a long time before starting the experiment.

The experiment went smoothly and the results were satisfactory. The record player was ready to record the results and prepare for the next step of deduction. However, Li Banfeng said, "How about I take you to Qiqiu City?"

The record player shook its loud speaker and said, "This won't work. If the old man finds out, it will be hard to figure it out next time."

"If you don't tell him, how will he know?"

"He's been following you. He can see everything."

"He fell asleep and can't be seen now."

"Does my husband know that he fell asleep?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "I heard his snoring."

The record player was a little surprised. Li Banfeng's perception improved so quickly that he could even hear the old man's voice outside the house.

"But I am afraid it is not suitable for me to see people in this state.'

"I think my wife is fine," Li Banfeng looked at his pocket watch and carried his wife on his back, "My dear wife, let's go to the night market!"

Qiqiu City was just starting out, and there weren't many rich people in the city. They were busy working to make money during the day.

People only have time to go to the market at night, so the night market in the city is particularly prosperous.

Zhai Xiu has a talent for making people ignore him. When Li Banfeng walked on the street, almost no one noticed him, but his wife was still nervous and didn't dare to make a sound.

"My dear, just tell me which one you like!" Li Banfeng squatted next to the jewelry stall. He knew that his wife liked these little things.

The wife lowered her voice and said, "I am not picky. I like everything my husband buys."

"Then buy them all!" Li Banfeng bought out all the goods at the jewelry stall. The stall owner was so happy that she didn't notice that Li Banfeng was carrying something on his back and was only busy counting the money.

The record player was heartbroken: "Husband, why did you buy them all without even discussing it with me? I will just pick the one I like and return the rest.

one?

"My lady, didn't I tell you that you like everything I bought? Since I bought everything, you like everything. So why return it? My lady, take a look over there to see if there are any clothes you like."

"I won't buy any more clothes. I can't wear them anymore."

"There are also rouges over there, tell me which one you like."

The two of them strolled around the night market for more than an hour. Li Banfeng wanted to take his wife to see a movie when he suddenly felt the ground shaking.

The shaking was so strong that many people in the night market noticed it and thought it was an earthquake.

The night market was a fairly open area, so not many people were running for their lives; most people stayed where they were to take shelter.

Li Banfeng felt that the earthquake was not right, so he turned on the spiritual sound and with the help of the wire earrings, Li Banfeng vaguely heard some sharp sounds.

It seems to be Brother Qiu.

"My lady, go home first. I'll go check out what's going on."

"My husband, please be careful."

Li Banfeng sent his wife back to Suishenju and ran all the way towards the sound.

In the area that originally belonged to Wuqin Township, there was a barren mountain. Because it was covered with mud and swamps, usually no one came here.

Li Banfeng flew over the mud for a while and saw the fallen autumn leaves.

The fallen autumn leaves took on the shape of an elephant, shaking its trunk and looking at the man opposite.

The man opposite was standing under an old tree. The tree had been dead for who knows how many years and there was not a single leaf on its branches.

The opponent is familiar with Qiu Luoye's tactics. The fallen leaves will interfere with the line of sight and create opportunities for Qiu Luoye to launch a surprise attack.

The man was wearing a gray windbreaker. Although the high collar covered his face, Li Banfeng still recognized him. This was Chu Huaiyuan's father, Chu Shaoqiang.

Chu Shaoqiang has been helping Chu Er guard the new land recently and has not caused any trouble for Li Banfeng for a long time. Why did he come to Qiqiu City today?

Could it be that he was coming for the water spring?

Li Banfeng handed Shui Yongquan over to Qiu Luoye for care. To this day, Shui Yongquan's memory has not recovered and he cannot even speak a complete sentence.

Qiu Luoye was also worried that Chu Shaoqiang was coming for the spring, so he didn't waste time talking to Chu Shaoqiang.

Just as he was about to start fighting, Chu Shaoqiang saw Li Banfeng coming and shouted, "Li Qi, you came just in time. I wanted to ask Qiu Luoye to bring you a message, but I didn't expect Qiu Luoye to misunderstand me so deeply."

Qiu Luoye shouted, "Seventh Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. This man definitely has bad intentions."

Li Banfeng asked Chu Shaoqiang: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

"The peddler is dead."

Chu Shaoqiang only said four words, but Li Banfeng's head was buzzing.

Peddler

Dead?

Qiu Luoye looked at Chu Shaoqiang and sneered, "Bullshit! How did the peddler die?

Who could have killed the peddler? Tell me clearly!"

Chu Shaoqiang could really explain it clearly: "You haven't seen the peddler for a while, right? I just received the news today. Three days ago, the peddler fought a life-and-death battle with the people in the sky.

The peddler lost and was killed by the man in heaven.

The autumn leaves are silent.

The rumor that the peddler would fight to the death when he met the man from heaven was believed to be true by all the people in Provins.

In this world, the only person who can kill the peddler is probably the one in heaven.

Is this true?

Qiu Luoye looked at Li Banfeng, and Li Banfeng asked, "Where did you get the news from?"

"Don't ask me about this. This is all I have heard." Chu Shaoqiang did not say anything, which proved that he was telling the truth. "Whether this is true or not, you'd better check it out quickly. As far as I know, Neizhou has received the news.

If the peddler is really dead, Neizhou will soon invade Prozhou. You can guess what the consequences of this battle will be without me telling you.

I'm telling you this because I want you to be prepared. You have a lot of contact with Neizhou.

If you can protect yourself when the war really starts, you should also be able to protect Huaiyuan.

Huaiyuan is stubborn and ignorant. She will definitely want to fight Neizhou to the death during the war. Considering her sincerity towards you, you should help her and save her life."

Qiu Luoye said, "Why do you have to hand your own daughter over to our Old Seven when you leave her alone?"

Chu Shaoqiang was silent for a moment and said, "I will definitely take care of this matter, but my life is in Neizhou's hands. If I lose my life, Huaiyuan can only be entrusted to you. Goodbye, both of you."

Chu Shaoqiang left.

Li Banfeng didn't speak for a long time.

Qiu Luoye sighed: "I don't know whether what this bastard said is true or not. I haven't seen a peddler for a long time."

"What is the origin of the people in heaven? Why do they have to fight to the death with the peddler?"

Qiu Luoye shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the people in heaven, but we have to investigate this matter. We can't trust Chu Shaoqiang easily. As long as the peddler is alive, Neizhou should not dare to attack. They have suffered losses, but if the peddler is really in trouble, a bloody battle is inevitable."

How to check?

Li Banfeng left a message at Tiemenbao last time, asking Song Qianhun to tell him immediately if he had any news.

There has been no response from Song Qianhun so far, and the peddler seems to have never shown up since his last appearance in Tiemenbao.

Li Banfeng didn't know how many relatives or friends the peddler had. The peddler only mentioned that he had more than one lover, but never mentioned their names.

Where else can I check?

Neizhou said it wanted to go to war, so let's check Neizhou. Chu Shaoqiang's news may also come from Neizhou.

Li Banfeng first went to Ma Wu's territory and found Feng Daiku: "I want to ask Luo Lijun something."

Feng Dai said bitterly: "Can you tell me what it is? Then I can help you."

Li Banfeng said: "The inner state may send troops to start a war."

Feng Daiku was not convinced: "That shouldn't be possible. They just lost to another state and probably suffered heavy losses. How dare they go to war with Puro State now?"

Li Banfeng lowered his voice and said, "There is news that something happened to the peddler."

When Feng Dai heard that the peddler had gotten into trouble, his expression changed immediately.

If something really happened to the peddler, it would make much more sense for Neizhou to go to war.

Feng Dai gave Ma Wu some advice and then hurried to the soda kiln with Li Qi.

When they arrived at the factory, Feng Daiku went to the pool and sprinkled a petal into the water.

The water surface rippled gently and spun slowly, the speed increasing continuously, forming a whirlpool that sucked the petals into the bottom of the pool.

"Mr. Li, since we didn't make any prior arrangements, it's hard to say when Luo Lijun will receive the message. We have to wait here for a while.

Feng Daiku couldn't tell exactly how long it would take, and Li Banfeng was anxious but could only wait here.

There are nine rooms in the house.

Ever since the old man fell asleep, Miss Nine's voice has been lingering in Honglian's ears: "That woman is going out for longer and longer periods of time. If you believed me, she would have gone out a long time ago."

Honglian felt that what lingered in her ears was not only the sound, but also a chill: "Did you use a technique on me?"

Miss Jiufang sighed, "If there is no trust between you and me, what can we accomplish?"

Honglian really didn't trust this Ninth Room girl: "When this is done, you will be the one who can go out, but I'm afraid you won't take me with you."

"Didn't I tell you that if I don't take you with me, you'll expose me right away and I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

"I've exposed you, and you've revealed everything that happened before. How can I stay in this place from now on?"

"Then you should just stay here. I shouldn't have wasted my time talking to you..."

The two were arguing when Miss Jiufang suddenly became quiet.

Honglian thought Suishenju had woken up and stopped talking.

After a while, the door opened gently and the record player stood outside the door: "Two sisters, why are you still not asleep so late? What are you talking about? Talk to me?"

Honglian said, "This girl from Room Nine thinks she is pretty and wants to be your man's concubine, but she is afraid you won't agree."

The record player smiled and said, "If you are really talented and beautiful, I will definitely help you. Miss Nine, come out first and let me take a look at you to see if you have a good figure and good looks."

The ninth lady spoke up: "We were just joking. How dare I compare my appearance with the mistress's?"

"Oh, I can't bear this, Madam. Last time, my husband came to ask you to translate a few words. I don't know what misunderstanding happened in the middle, which made my husband so angry. Can you tell me what happened?"

The girl from the ninth room explained, "Actually, I don't understand the Rafsha language, and I was afraid that my master would laugh at me, so I just wrote a few random sentences. I didn't expect that there was an expert at home who exposed me. I am ashamed of this matter, and I am willing to accept the punishment from my master."

"Punishment? All right," the phonograph player thought this was a good idea, "come out and get a beating."

Miss Nine said in a low voice, "Madam, please calm down. I don't have a body yet, so I have to wait for this beating."

"Today I owe you two cents on credit, and next year the interest will compound to three taels and three cents. Sister, don't owe it anymore. It's better to settle the debt as soon as possible!" The record was spinning rapidly on the tray, and the gongs and drums started to sound.

"I'm going to scold this little slave for his bad character. He will definitely be an unfilial beast when he grows up!"

Just this one line of lyrics made Miss Jiufang shout out.

It hurts, it really hurts. If the record player plays a few more lines, it would be enough to make her soul scatter.

But it was just this line that woke the old man up: "Alas, we are all family, beating him twice is enough, do you really want to beat him to death?"

It can be seen that the girl from the ninth room has some skills, and the old man is somewhat fond of her.

"The old man has already pleaded for mercy, what else can I say? Sister Jiufang, even if the matter is over, since we are a family, let's be less scheming against each other in the future." The singer closed the door and left.

Honglian spread out her petals and felt the chill in the room grow stronger.

Li Banfeng waited in the factory for a whole night, and a huge snail walked out of the pond.

Feng Daiku went forward and said, "Miss Luo, you are finally here."

The snail girl flung her tentacles toward Feng Daiku and playfully asked, "Which Miss Luo are you looking for?"

5

Isn’t this Luo Lijun?

Could it be her sister?

Feng Daiku was unable to tell the difference, and it seemed that the only one who could tell the difference in a short time was Ma Wu.

But Ma Wu was not there, so Li Banfeng could only guess: "Is it Miss Yanjun?"

Luo Yanjun was very happy: "Seventh Master actually recognized me. He is a kind and loyal man."

As she spoke, she rubbed Li Banfeng's body with her tentacles.

Li Banfeng dodged the tentacles and asked, "There is something I want to ask you, young lady. Are you going to send troops to fight?"

Luo Yanjun lingered beside the pond for a while and replied, "I don't know anything about sending troops to fight. I'm only responsible for acquiring land. I've been very busy recently and acquired a lot of land.

13

Compared with Luo Lijun, Luo Yanjun wants to live in harmony with Prozhou. She doesn't want to fight.

She will try her best to give Li Qi some hints, but the premise of all this is that her own safety will not be threatened.

So her words must be listened to in a roundabout way.

Li Banfeng roughly understood what was said just now.

Land acquisition is definitely related to the war. I can’t tell what the specific connection is, but it is certain that

Nevada is indeed preparing for war.

Li Banfeng simply went on to say, "It must be very hard to buy so much land at once, right?"

Luo Yanjun shook her head. "It's not hard work, but it's a bit troublesome. You need soil to buy land, and you need to dig a mountain to get soil. There's a mountain with a lot of soil. I want to dig, but I'm afraid I can't do it."

Li Banfeng asked, "Is it because the soil is too hard?"

Luo Yanjun said: "It's not just because the soil is hard, there is also a tiger on the mountain, it's not easy to provoke.

If the tiger is at home, I won’t dig in this mountain. If the tiger is not there, I will definitely dig this soil.”

Li Banfeng was also worried about this matter: "Do you think Tiger is at home?"

Luo Yanjun thought for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure, but a lot of leopards and long insects under the tiger's command have been killed recently, and the tiger hasn't even roared. I guess even if this tiger is at home, it must have encountered something, maybe injured, or maybe dead."

Li Banfeng was very clear about this. A lot of leopards and long insects were indeed killed by Li Banfeng.

Luo Yanjun continued, "I am going to go up the mountain to hunt another old fox. If the tiger remains silent, it means he is not at home. It is also possible that the tiger is gone."

Li Banfeng asked, "Do you know where the fox is?"

Luo Yanjun flicked her tentacles at Li Banfeng in a very charming manner: "The fox is cunning and not easy to find, but if he wants to do something for the tiger, there will definitely be times when he can't hide."

PS: Is the tiger at home? Where did he go?
