Although Li Jia heard Lu Xiaofeng's full of doubts towards her, she walked to the door, so she didn't bother explaining to him, but stepped out of the villa first to check the situation outside the door.

Outside the gate of Wanmei Villa, there were indeed five people in different costumes lying in a haphazard manner, but what was better than what she expected was that none of them were injured, they were just knocked out by Qiao Jin, and they were unconscious at the moment.

Li Jia squatted down and raised his hand to pat the Fengchi acupoints of these people respectively. His movements were so fast that the three people who followed him couldn't see clearly. Duan Zhixing couldn't help sighing in his heart. Martial arts is really broad and profound, far beyond the world of mortals.

After Li Jia took these few shots, the five people on the ground woke up one after another.

Seeing that they were all staring at him warily, Li Jia simply took out the whistle and said, "I summoned you."

Seeing her holding the whistle in the palm of her hand, the five people immediately got up from the ground with hands and feet, and they didn't even bother to straighten their clothes, they first knelt down respectfully towards her.

Li Jia: "..." You don't have to be so polite?

She cleared her throat with a cough, and said, "Get up and talk, I summoned you because there is something I want you to do."

"Speak, girl!"

"When I see Guan Sen, it's like seeing the Palace Master. When I see the Palace Master, I should kneel."

"indeed so."

Li Jia shook her head: "What you are talking about is the rules of decades ago, and now there is no need to kneel when meeting the palace master in the palace."

"What's more, since seeing the guard is like seeing the Palace Master, then I will make you stand up. If you still don't obey the order and insist on kneeling to talk, wouldn't you be even more disrespectful to the Palace Master?"

Speaking of this, the five people had no choice but to get up, but they still half-bowed when they spoke.

They asked Li Jia what they needed to do. Although less than half of the people who were all over the rivers and lakes were left, they would definitely try their best.

Li Jia thought for a while and asked, "So how many people can come today?"

The leader immediately replied: "There are about [-] people in Taiyuan City. The girl whistles in the east of the city, and at least half of the city can hear it. We came quickly because we are the closest."

As if to prove what he said was true, after answering this question, there were a few more figures behind them on the way down the mountain.

Li Jia glanced at it, and said that in this case, let's wait for everyone to arrive.

A quarter of an hour later, all the people within the range called by Guan Sen finally gathered at the gate of Wanmei Villa.

Ximen Chuuxue generously let them in to talk together, and ordered the housekeeper to serve another round of tea.

Li Jia thanked him, and then succinctly put forward her request to this group of people.

"I want you to dig out the true identity of Plum Blossom Pirate as much as possible." She said, "Even if you can't find out, at least give me all the clues you can find."

When the old department of Vulture Palace heard the name Plum Blossom Bandit, they all showed subtle expressions.

Seeing this, Li Jia couldn't help raising her eyebrows, signaling for them to speak directly.

"The Plum Blossom Bandit hasn't reappeared." The leader said, "The one who commits crimes everywhere is actually just an impostor."

"Oh?" Li Jia was surprised.

"Because the real Plum Blossom Pirate had died outside Tongguan 20 years ago." He said, "At that time, just like now, people were panicking everywhere. We received an order from a distinguished guest from the palace to investigate secretly. After half a year, I finally found out his whereabouts, chased him all the way, and killed him outside Tongguan."

More than thirty people present, most of them participated in the siege 20 years ago, that's why they reacted like this when Li Jia mentioned the Plum Blossom Pirates just now.

After Li Jia listened to his explanation, he also listened to the slander. As for the content of the slander, it was naturally the past 20 years ago.

This made her no longer doubt the fact that the real Plum Blossom Pirate was dead, and continued to ask: "Since that's the case, you should have checked the imposter as well, right?"

"... I have checked, but there are not many clues."

"He is more careful than the one back then, and his methods are more terrifying."

Li Jia heard the words, glanced at them one by one, and told them the most important reason: "And there is no order from the palace, so you don't pay too much attention?"

People didn't know that she had actually heard their silent confession in their hearts, and they only thought that she had extraordinary insight.

But this knowledge at least let them know that the girl in front of her who looks only [-] years old is not easy to fool at all.

Sitting there, Li Jia listened to their inner thoughts for a while, and finally spoke again amidst their somewhat cramped breathing.

"I don't mean to blame you." She said, "But starting today, you must get serious and find out this imposter plum blossom thief as soon as possible, you know?"

More than 30 people responded in unison, and their voices trembled, almost scaring away all the birds in the forest.

Li Jia waved his hands, signaling them to hurry up and get down to business.

"By the way, if you find any news related to Plum Blossom Pirates, remember to send it to Wanmei Villa." Finally, she added this sentence.

A group of people were about to agree, when Lu Xiaofeng, who had been watching silently the whole time, suddenly spoke.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, I think there is an excellent opportunity to catch the Plum Blossom Bandit right now."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention in the forest was attracted, including Li Jia.

Lu Xiaofeng was not embarrassed to be stared at by so many people, he just raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and said: "This fake plum blossom thief is acting insanely, in the previous dozen or so cases, each one was more difficult to commit, but he just happened to He has been committing it all the time, which is enough to prove that he is a very arrogant person."

"So what does Mr. Lu mean?" Duan Zhixing was the first to ask.

"I think that a person who is so proud and arrogant will definitely take action when others provoke him." Lu Xiaofeng paused, "[-]% of the person who provokes him will become him." The next crime target."

Having said that, both Li Jia and Ximen Chuuxue came to their senses.

"Lin Xianer?" The two said in unison.

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up: "That's right, once Lin Xian'er comes, the Plum Blossom Bandit will definitely not let her go."

Li Jia was stunned: "So that's why you came to Wanmei Villa to look for Mr. Ximen in the first place?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "He is so interested in Plum Blossom Pirates, then go to Baoding as soon as possible, maybe you can gain something." And this trip, meeting a beauty like you, I have gained a lot.

Li Jia: "...Actually, if you think I'm good-looking, you can just say so, I don't mind being praised."

Lu Xiaofeng: "???"

He stared wide-eyed at Li Jia with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. After holding back for a long time, he only uttered the word "you" before he couldn't continue.

"Relax, I'm not a monster." Li Jiayun calmly threw down a thunderbolt, "I can just hear how you arrange me in your heart."

"..." Isn't that enough monsters? !

Lu Xiaofeng thought he had a strong ability to accept, but at this moment, he was still so frightened that he almost petrified.

Even if he was like this, the group of old Vulture Palace members who hadn't had time to leave were naturally even more frightened.

Because of this, Li Jia's mind was filled with dozens of different voices in an instant. She frowned and said, "Okay, then you all have to check in the direction I just mentioned, don't be dazed."

"Then if something is found—"

"I remember that there was a method of delivering news among the old ministries in various places. It seems that they learned it from the Beggar Gang?" Li Jia said, "If you find useful news, you can pass it directly to Baoding. After I go to Baoding, We will call another team over there."

A group of people waited until they left Merlin and went down the mountain.

Li Jia's mind reading skills have a distance limit, as long as they walk far away, they won't be able to quarrel with her.

But without the "gossip" of this group of people, there is still Lu Xiaofeng.

After Lu Xiaofeng recovered, the inner drama never stopped, and he didn't learn his lesson at all, almost all of his thoughts were related to her.

"Can she really hear it? Then wouldn't she also..."

"And Ximen doesn't seem surprised at all? Did he already know that she can read minds?!"

"...Oh my god, she looked at me again, did she hear everything again?!"

Li Jia smiled: "Yes, I heard everything."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

She continued to add: "By the way, Mr. Ximen did know about it earlier than you."

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "..."

He felt that this topic should not be continued, otherwise he might be frightened even more.

So he turned to Ximen Chuuxue without hesitation, and said, "Let's talk about when we will leave for Baoding."

Ximen Fuxue: "Need to talk?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "?"

Li Jia: "That's right, there's nothing to talk about, it's about human life, of course we should leave immediately."

Lu Xiaofeng froze for a moment, then said: "That's right."

Li Jia and Duan Zhixing didn't know him before, and seeing him like this, they didn't feel any difference at all. After all, the ability to read minds is worth a good deal of horror.But Ximen Chuuxue had been his friend for several years after all, he felt extremely happy to see Lu Xiaofeng showing such an unprecedented stupid look, even if it was only for a moment.

He was so happy that when his eyes fell on Lu Xiaofeng again, he even pulled the corner of his lips.

... Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt like he had bumped into a ghost again.

After that, the four of them made some preparations, and on the way down the mountain to Baoding, he was still in a trance.

Baoding is not too close to Taiyuan. The old butler of Wanmei Villa prepared a carriage for them. Now the four of them were sitting in the carriage. Set it down.

Li Jia was puzzled: "Is it so difficult to accept? When Mr. Ximen knew that I could read minds, he didn't react as much as you did."

Lu Xiaofeng: "How can I be the same as him, he—" He stopped in time when he said this.

He didn't go on, but made Ximen Chuuxue a little curious when he was resting with his eyes closed.

Ximen Chuuxue opened his eyes and looked at Li Jia without asking him, "What did he want to say?"

Li Jia replied with a smile: "He originally wanted to say that you don't care about things other than swords, like a pervert."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..." It's over, Ximen is afraid that he will break up with me.

He took a breath with difficulty, turned his head and explained to Ximen Chuuxue: "I mean to compliment you, really."

"En." To his surprise, Ximen Chuuxue didn't get angry, and his tone was calmer than usual.

Lu Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and was about to seriously praise his sword-loving friend, so he continued, "But you're wrong."

"???"What's the meaning?

"Besides the sword, there are still things that I care about in this world." Ximen Chuixue said, "For example, watching you hit a wall and hold your breath."

Lu Xiaofeng said again: "..." Forget it, I think it's better to break the law.

Li Jia who watched the whole process: applauded slowly.
