Chapter 66 Inner Fort

It was night, the sky was not very good, the moon was covered by thick dark clouds, and the starlight could not break through the bad weather and hid.

A black shadow flashed slightly, and it was already unknown to anyone, and it lurked under the inner castle of Xujia Castle without realizing it.

The black shadow had a black scarf covered his face. It was He Yiming, who had been in Xujiabao for five days.

Since he obtained a house, he has been staying in it honestly, like other diners, without any independent special features. However, he also understood that the Xu family would never trust his new diners, and it would be even more impossible to send any good tasks. Only after a period of investigation can he gradually integrate into the huge system of Xujiabao.

However, this is undoubtedly the best situation for him. If Xujiabao assigns him a difficult task at this moment, or transfers it to the county town, he will probably go crazy with depression.

During the five days, he openly discovered the terrain of the castle. This practice not only did not arouse anyone's suspicion, but instead made people trust him a little.

After understanding the terrain of the outer castle, He Yiming pushed his thoughts into the inner castle.

He didn't have much time to slowly draw on it, and a month was far from enough to gain the trust of the Xu family.

In this case, stealing is undoubtedly the best choice.

With a slight movement of his body, he had already pressed against the wall tightly. As his internal strength was circulating, he swam into the inner castle like a huge gecko.

Although the Xu family's inner castle was not as exaggerated as the outer castle, it was about four meters long. However, in peace, the defense of the inner castle wall was much relaxed. He Yiming swam smoothly to the inner castle, but did not alarm anyone.

When he arrived on the city wall, his eyes turned and he had already taken all the environment in the inner castle into his eyes.

Compared to the darkness that suddenly fell into the outer castle at night, the inner castle was undoubtedly much brighter. The faint candlelight revealed in many houses.

However, He Yiming's brow frowned slightly. God knows where the library in Xujiabao is, so he can't let him touch each room at a time.

He lamented in his heart that his experience was indeed insufficient. If his father and his generation were here, he might have come up with some good solutions. However, he also had some doubts, not knowing whether his father and his family had done such stealing things in their lives.

Suddenly, a few footsteps came from a distance, and a lantern opened the way, and several people hurried over.

He Yiming had such a brilliant vision. He immediately saw Xu Xiangqian's figure. He moved slightly, got off the city wall, and followed carefully.

His internal strength cultivation has reached the peak of tenth level, and he has also practiced the breath holding technique. When his skills gathered in his ears, all the secret whistles of the bright and secret whistles were just a decoration for him.

Moreover, the Xu family's evening martial law cannot be really a three-step post or a five-step post. With those sparse post posts, you can't even find his traces.

Not long after, Xu Xiangqian and others arrived in one of the largest courtyards in the inner castle.

He Yiming originally wanted to continue stalking, but when he approached the courtyard, he suddenly felt a sense of danger, as if something could threaten him.

This feeling came extremely abruptly. He stopped, recalled it in his mind, and then realized it in his heart.

Since he was promoted to the tenth level of internal energy, he only felt this way when he met his grandfather. Suddenly, he knew that the person living in this courtyard should be Mr. Xu Yinjie, one of the two top ten masters in Taicang County, as well as Mr. He, he was the one who lived in this courtyard.

My heart moved slightly. Although He Yiming's strength at this moment would no longer be afraid of this super expert, his purpose here was not to fight with others.

He stayed in place, no longer approached, but adjusted the internal strength in his body to the best state, gathered his skills in both ears and started to eavesdrop.

At this distance, if others can still discover it, He Yiming will have nothing to say.

When his internal strength gathered to the limit, he suddenly felt another strange feeling.

He had never tried to gather such a huge amount of internal energy in the acupoints around his ears. Even when he was eavesdropping on the conversations of those people in Xujia Town ahead, he had never achieved this.

If there wasn't a person ahead that he wouldn't dare to underestimate, he wouldn't have started trying to eavesdrop at such a long distance.

His ears were shaking slightly, like a gust of wind, which was always blowing gently beside his ears, making these ears sway slightly with the wind.

The sound heard in these ears seemed to be no longer a dull sound, but a special scene was formed in his mind through a strange feeling.

The sound of Xu Xiangqian and several servants behind him walking on the ground came, and there seemed to be a slight echo that ordinary people could not detect. From this echo, He Yiming actually formed a three-dimensional pattern in his mind, and he even inferred the size of the entire room.

In this way, a black and white picture that was constantly changing like flowing water appeared in his mind. Although the picture was still very blurry, it was enough to make He Yiming feel extremely shocked.

He was sure that this seemed to have exceeded the limit that a master of internal strength could reach in the tenth level. Because if grandpa had had such a feeling, he would definitely mention it to them.

But in his memory, there was no information about this.

The steps of the servants behind Xu Xiang stopped. Only the Fourth Master of the Xu family continued to move forward. After a moment, he suddenly stopped after stepping into a room.

"Dad, I'm here." Xu Xiangqian's voice suddenly rang.

"Well, how are you looking for it?" An old voice then slowly spoke.

He Yiming's mind suddenly subsided, but the scene in his mind not only did not break, but instead felt a clearer feeling.

He could vaguely feel that Xu Xiangqian respectfully saluted an old man, while the old man sat on a chair in a big way. At the same time, he also sensed that the old man contained an extremely powerful aura of terror.

Of course, the old man did not deliberately exude his aura, but since He Yiming sensed it, he naturally could not hide it from him.

"Dad, Yucai has returned from the county town, and the news he brought is not good. The Cheng family is already determined to marry the He family, and for this matter, it is said that even the Linlang Lin family has specially sent several masters to come."

"Linlang Lin's family? What are they here to join in the fun?"

"Because the last time the horse thief attacked, the thousand-year-old blood ginseng that the Lin family celebrated Mr. Cheng's birthday, the Lin family felt very shameless, so this time they sent someone to support him."

"Well, is there any news about Thousand Years of Blood Ginseng?"

Xu Xiangqian's voice contained an indescribable bitterness, and said, "There is still no news, but it seems that Mr. Cheng and the others have determined that our Xu family has intercepted the Thousand-year-old blood ginseng."

The old man snorted angrily and said, "Which bastard did the Ninth-level Fire Achievement pretend to be our Xu family?"

Xu Xiangqian hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, did the Cheng family deliberately release such a rumor?"

"Impossible." The old man said without hesitation: "I have been dealing with Cheng Ningsheng for decades. How could I not know who he is? If it weren't for a master of the Ninth Level of the Fire Kung Fu that really appeared and intercepted the Thousand Years of Blood Ginseng, he would never have risked breaking with our Xu family and making such a noise."

Xu Xiangqian's voice became more and more bitter: "Dad, but in our Xu family, only the child's Fire Technique has reached the ninth level."

"I know." The old man sighed and said, "I didn't say anything to you, but you also know that this fire ritual is not learned from our family traditions. If so..."

Xu Xiangqian seemed to gasp and said, "Dad, you mean the ancestors..."

The old man made a simple reply, but He Yiming outside heard it for no reason. However, he understood one thing, that is, the two famous masters of the Xu family, which were not really the unique skills of the Xu family. At least there was a force that also mastered this skill.

He was filled with emotion. It was surprising that the palm on the whim would have caused such consequences.

However, seeing these two mutes of the Xu family eating coptis chinensis, he was indescribable to express his suffering, but he could only be happy without any burden.

After a long time, Xu Xiangqian asked softly: "Dad, what should we do?"

"What else can I do?" the old man said distressedly: "I dare not ask my ancestors for confirmation about this matter, so I can only kill myself and refuse to admit it. If the Lin family comes to ask in person, then I will push it to my ancestors. I want to see if the Linlang Lin family has the courage to question my ancestors for a thousand-year-old blood ginseng."

Xu Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said, "The Lin family definitely does not have the courage, but they don't have so many concerns about us."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since things have come to this point, no matter what we do, it is useless. In a few days, I will personally attend the wedding of the Cheng Er family. I will explain to the two old men, alas..." He sighed long and said depressedly: "It's such a disaster."

At this moment, the footsteps of the two people came from a distance. Although He Yiming did not see their faces, a familiar feeling surged in his heart, as if these two people were not unfamiliar with them.

Soon, the two of them entered the room directly from the other direction.

A familiar voice suddenly rang: "Grandpa, we are back."
