My messenger is a little fox

The following days were uneventful. Apart from missions and routine patrols, Li Yu still lived a life of practicing lazier than anyone else and getting up later than anyone else.

As for the debt, in view of his outstanding performance in Shaojun Mountain (he turned in the most seizures), Li Tianxiong asked Mr. Gu for instructions and advanced him with government funds. As a result, Li Yu's monthly remuneration was directly reduced to five silver coins. (1 gold\u003d10 silver\u003d1000 copper) until it is paid off. Fortunately, the security team was provided with food, clothing, and accommodation, otherwise Li Yu and the little fox would have to live frugally given their budgets.

Time soon entered June, and it had been more than two months since Li Yu came to this world. The summer in this world is cooler than in the original time and space. Even in the south, there is no such sweltering feeling.

After Li Yu became a spiritual master, his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he had no feeling for such a temperature. The little fox has made rapid progress after these days of training in the military. His cultivation has reached the peak of his adult body, and he is only one chance away from joining the ranks of combat bodies.

The area around Qingyuan Town has a tropical rainforest climate. Summers are humid and rainy, and the rain often lasts for several days.

It was cloudy again in the evening that day, and soon it started to rain.

Li Yu finished his day's work, had a quick dinner in the cafeteria, and then returned to his dormitory to rest early.

Since most of the security team are locals, or have settled in the area, there are only a few people staying overnight, and there are many resident dormitories. Except for those with very similar odors, everyone else has a dormitory.

Li Yu changed out of his wet clothes and wiped the water stains on Ah Li's fur with a dry towel, then sat on a chair and stared at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze.

Li Yu felt that his mind could not be calm since the evening. He didn't know if that thing would happen today, so he calculated the day and it was time to arrive.

"Boom——"

A blast of thunder woke Li Yu up, and then a rush of footsteps came from the corridor.

"coming!"

Li Yu thought.

"All personnel must assemble urgently! All personnel must assemble urgently!"

An anxious voice ran and shouted, "Violators will be punished by military law! Violators will be punished by military law!"

"Fuck, what's going on? Why didn't you blow the assembly call for the emergency gathering? Instead of blowing the call orally?"

Just as Li Yu was about to get up, he heard someone scolding next door.

"Who cares? Who dares to joke in the military camp? Hurry up and gather!"

Li Yu put on his clothes, picked up Ah Li and ran out. There were figures running towards the combat readiness hall along the way. There were also people asking what happened, but unfortunately no one knew except Li Yu.

In the combat readiness hall, Li Tianxiong was pacing back and forth to keep time, his face ashen. When the members of the security team saw this, no one dared to talk nonsense, and they lined up in the hall honestly.

When the time came, Li Tianxiong stopped pacing and his expression softened slightly after the officer on duty reported the number of people.

"The security team's duty room was attacked. Except for Deputy Captain Huang, whose life and death are unknown, the other four people on duty and their envoys all died!"

As soon as Li Tianxiong finished explaining the situation, things started to explode. There were some doubts, some angers, some fears, all different.

Li Tianxiong stopped everyone and said: "Combat readiness will begin from today. From tomorrow onwards, all personnel returning home will stay in the camp unless there are special circumstances. Level 2 combat readiness will be implemented."

After announcing the order, Li Tianxiong called Li Yu away and handed the team over to another captain to assign tasks.

Li Yu followed Li Tianxiong and walked out without saying a word, feeling a little inexplicably nervous. This incident was just the beginning, and Qingyuan Town would soon face a chaotic situation of demons. Should I tell them the truth? How can I give them a warning without arousing suspicion?

Soon the two came to the duty room. Li Tianxiong half-opened the door and said, "Li Yu, you are relatively knowledgeable. I brought you here this time to let you see the situation here and give me some advice."

"Captain Li, thank you. I just like to read books on weekdays. I can't guarantee whether I can see anything!"

Li Tianxiong nodded, pushed open the door and said, "Then just take a look! Captain Huang is receiving treatment in the inner room."

There were four people and two spiritual masters in the room, either lying on the ground or slumped on tables and chairs. They should be two spiritual masters and two ordinary people.

"Where is Captain Huang's messenger?" Li Yu asked.

"Not released."

Li Tianxiong's face was full of solemnity.

"All killed in one blow? These people didn't even react. I'm afraid it would take a fourth-level spiritual master to do that, right?"

Li Yu pretended to be shocked.

Seeing Li Tianxiong nod, Li Yu continued to investigate the scene, and finally entered the inner room to take a look at Captain Huang.

"This is a method used in southern Xinjiang, and the perpetrator is probably a Miao man."

Li Yu stopped Li Tianxiong's surprise and continued: "There are no wounds on these people, but there is a red spot on the exposed skin, which looks like a bite from a small insect; look at their purple lips and dilated pupils. This is poisonous hair." The symptoms, and the fact that they fell at the same time, they must have been attacked at the same time, so I guess the murderer is a guy who is good at using poisonous insects."

"As far as I know, spiritual masters who contract poisonous insects are most common in southern Xinjiang. Of course, these are not enough to prove that the murderer is a Miao man. There are also people who use poisonous insects in the mainland. The most important clue is Captain Huang.

"Captain Huang's eyes are dull and there is a small hole in the back of his neck. I have seen a similar situation in a book introducing southern Xinjiang magic. The book said that there is a kind of poison in southern Xinjiang that can crawl into people's blood vessels. The person's brain then controls the person's thinking. Whatever the person controlling the poison wants to know, the person being controlled will know everything and tell them everything. Also, this kind of poison is very vicious. It will also cause irreversible damage to the brain if it controls the person's brain. If you kill or take out the accused afterwards, you will also become a demented child."

Even with Li Tianxiong's bravery, he couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this, and said with a trembling voice: "So Brother Xu can't be cured?"

Li Yu nodded and said with concern: "This Gu is extremely rare. Only a great witch cannot refine it. If it enters the human brain, it will become parasitic, and if left for a few moments, it will die. Therefore, I guess the murderer is a Miao man, and most likely a human. A wizard of high status."

"Bah bang bang bang -" a burst of applause came from outside the door.

"That girl Xiaomo always praises you for being knowledgeable. Today, it turns out that what you heard is true!"

Gu Qingyuan opened the door and walked in, clapping his hands.

"Mr. Gu!"

Li Tianxiong and Li Yu hurriedly turned around and said hello.

"The witches from southern Xinjiang just attacked my mayor's mansion."

Gu Qingyuan said with a smile, as if he was gossiping, but Li Tianxiong, who was familiar with him, knew that the more angry the mayor became, the calmer he became.

"How dare they?"

Li Tianxiong's eyes widened and he shouted violently, really like an angry bear.

"Why don't they dare? Why don't they just leave now?"

Gu Qingyuan waved his hands to appease his subordinates, and said in a humorous tone: "It also hurt four of us! But I was asked to keep two of them. I wanted to invite those two as guests, but I died even thinking about it. It's really unlucky. …”

"Young man, guess why they came?"

Gu Qingyuan's imaginative turn made Li Yu a little confused for a while.

Just as Li Yu was about to say the reason, he suddenly saw Gu Qingyuan's meaningful smile and changed his words: "The look on Mr. Gu's face must be clear. Even if I guess right, I'm just trying to impress you. You better not let me It’s embarrassing!”

"I didn't expect you to be as cunning as a fox, but your little fox is as naive as a fox! Have you two switched personalities?" Gu Qingyuan glared.

Seeing that Li Yu was just smiling innocently, he stretched out his hand and nodded at him: "Now I am also a little curious about you. The Miao people made such a big noise this time because of Han Yan's envoy."

"For Han Yan's envoy? What's so strange about that fire sparrow?" Li Tianxiong was confused.

"I told you to study more, but you just didn't listen! You know how to fight and kill all day long. Even if I ask you to write a few official documents, I will make many mistakes!"

Gu Qingyuan said angrily that this old man was never polite to Li Tianxiong in private.

Seeing Li Tianxiong's submissive look, Li Yu wanted to laugh. There was still someone who could make this Li Daxiong feel defeated.

"But I really don't blame you this time! Not many people in this world know that the Phoenix's transformed predecessor was the Fire Sparrow!"

The person who spoke like this was Mr. Gu. Anyone else would have had his nose crooked by the angry Li Daxiong. Li Yu secretly laughed in his heart, it was so hard to hold it in.

"I knew it when the fourth-level spiritual master personally took action against the Fire Spirit Sparrow. It is so abnormal to be able to attract the great wizard of Miao territory to take action, and to do so with some restraint and respect."

Gu Qingyuan pondered for a moment and then continued: "In the early years, I traveled all over the Miao land, and there were several tribes there that used the phoenix as their totem, or simply claimed to be descendants of the phoenix. Those people's belief in the phoenix was almost fanatical. If those people knew I have to go crazy when my totem is contracted by humans. This time I suspect that someone deliberately spread the news of the birth of the phoenix in the Miao land. This batch of Miao people is probably just the first wave, and there will be more in the future. People are coming.”

"Isn't Qingyuan Town going to be in chaos?"

Li Tianxiong took a breath of cold air.

Gu Qingyuan ignored Li Tianxiong, but looked at Li Yu and said, "Do you have anything else to add, little guy?"

Li Yu thought for a while and said sternly: "Mr. Gu values ​​​​the boy so much, Li Yu is flattered. I do know some of the Miao people in southern Xinjiang. The respect those people have for their ancestors or totems is beyond our imagination. But because of this, these people have Tribes with the same ancestors or totems all regard themselves as authentic. If other tribes enshrine their own ancestors or totems, they should be restrained by their own. The final result is mutual hostility and attack. The stronger tribes destroy the weaker tribes, and the larger tribes swallow up the smaller tribes. .

"There should be five famous tribes that still believe in the Phoenix. These five tribes are currently unable to help each other, and have formed a fragile balance. The Phoenix is ​​likely to become an important weight to break this balance.

"The strength of these five tribes cannot be underestimated. Three of them have fourth-level spiritual masters, and there are quite a few second- and third-level spiritual masters. This time, the main force must come for the Phoenix. Fortunately, it is almost impossible for these tribes to unite. , otherwise Qingyuan Town may be destroyed."

"Well, I have personally experienced the conflicts between various ethnic groups in Miaoland. It is really impossible for them to jointly act. But even if these people don't cooperate and let them come to Qingyuan Town to cause trouble, our vitality will be greatly damaged!" Gu Qingyuan twirled his beard and said.

"This is a military matter. I think Captain Li should be more accurate than a layman like me."

The arrangements and responses made by Li Tianxiong in the original work were quite satisfactory, and they indeed played an important role. Li Yu did not want to be the one who got ahead of everything. After all, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
