Chapter 29 Potential

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Liu Cheng drove the carriage and asked Xiao Yan who was sitting next to him in a low voice.

The latter played with the mask and asked thoughtfully: "Who else in the world is proficient in the art of changing faces?"

Liu Cheng scratched his head and said with difficulty: "I heard from my father that Doctor Lin in our branch is an expert in this technique."

"He is no longer alive."

Liu Cheng was speechless for a moment, then turned around and said, "Old Fu, the captain wants you to come over."

Then, he smiled innocently and said, "When it comes to gathering information, Lao Fu is from the Beggars' Sect, so he is definitely better than me."

Xiao Yan smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Fu An, who was guarding the rear, rode his horse over to the carriage and asked, "Captain, what do you want to call me for?"

Liu Cheng then asked for Xiao Yan.

"The art of changing faces?"

Fu An held the reins with one hand and used the other to stir his messy hair, thinking: "Among the bad guys, there are not many who are proficient in this technique. The only two famous ones are the captains Tianzui Xingjing Xinmo and Tianyou Xing Shiyao. Both of them have supernatural powers, so it is easy for them to change their appearance."

"Where are they?"

"According to what my subordinates have heard while traveling around the states," Fu An lowered his voice and said, "The Mirror Heart Demon Captain should be in Jin State. It is rumored that the Crown Prince of Jin, Li Cunxu, particularly favors actors, and this Tian Zui Xing may be Li Cunxu's number one actor."

Then, he hesitated and said with embarrassment: "As for Tianyouxing Shiyao, I have indeed never heard of her."

Xiao Yan tapped his knee with his hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Besides the Bad People, are there any others?"

Fu An frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I wonder if the captain has ever heard of 'Ghost Doctor'?"

It seemed as if a light flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and the blurry fragments in his mind suddenly formed some images... a charming woman, long pink hair, and charming peach blossom eyes...

He frowned and then murmured.

"The corpse is broken and the ancestor surrenders..."

"That's right." Fu An seemed not to notice Xiao Yan's abnormal appearance, and said, "It is rumored that the ghost doctor can bring the dead back to life. Just changing his appearance is not much of a problem. However, the four corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect disappeared a long time ago, and it may be difficult to find their traces."

"Xuanduwu..."

At this time, Xiao Yan tore off a piece of his clothes, then used his internal force as a pen to carve these three words on it and handed it to Fu An.

"Use your connections to see if there is such a place."

Fu An and Liu Cheng were confused, "Captain, what is this?"

"This corpse ancestor surrenders to the whereabouts, but I don't know the exact location, you may have to spend some time to figure it out."

"This……"

Although Fu An didn't understand, he was greatly shocked. He carefully put the cloth away and said, "Excuse me, Captain, is this a fortress?"

Xiao Yan recalled the few images in his mind and frowned, "It should be a building, but it could also be a place name."

Touching his chin, Fu An nodded and said, "Then I will send someone to the north to investigate. Is the captain in a hurry?"

"The sooner the better."

Fu An nodded in agreement and was about to leave, but suddenly paused and said in a very low voice: "I just forgot, Captain, have you forgotten the chief leader?"

Xiao Yan frowned and asked uncertainly, "Three Thousand Courtyards?"

"Exactly."

Fu An's voice was somewhat enthusiastic as he said, "Three Thousand Courts has three thousand faces. No one has ever seen the true appearance of the chief. He may not be able to change his appearance, but he may be able to solve the captain's worries if he can change his appearance."

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you to contact them for me."

"The captain has given the order, and it is my duty. However, the position of the headquarters is uncertain, so I can only do my best."

Xiao Yan nodded, and after Fu An left, he leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed and began to think.

In fact, after living on the edge of a knife for nearly thirty years in his previous life, even his memories of the modern era have become blurred, and it is indeed difficult for him to recall the impression of such an anime.

"Sword Intent" also has its limitations. Although it can completely absorb the memories of others, it has no effect on one's own.

However, it could also give Xiao Yan some more initiative. For example, he vaguely remembered that the Bad People seemed to have a strong ability to infiltrate.

Moreover, he suddenly understood why Meng Po of the Xuanming Sect went to kill the people from Tongwenguan first that day instead of killing them, the bad people.

interesting.

Xiao Yan stood up and tapped his knees with his fingers.

However, he still needs to treat Meng Po as an enemy first.

In this world, he is the only one who knows the truth.

A voice called out from Liu Cheng beside him.

"Captain, I will send the person to the old senior first."

"Yes, send him to Yanzhou first, and remember to be careful."

Xiao Yan lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the young man inside, then jumped from the front of the carriage to the back of a horse beside him, and said, "By the way, when you come back this time, you should change your words and stop calling me Captain."

Liu Cheng was stunned, "What should I call it?"

"It should be the King of Jiyin."

Xiao Yan laughed, and he and Fu An divided a group of people and rode towards Caozhou.

------

Caozhou Zuocheng, inside the governor's mansion.

Zhu Hanbin looked at the three wooden boxes containing heads on the table and felt a chill down his spine.

"How is it? I should be sincere to the governor, right?"

Xiao Yan slowly drank a sip of hot tea to drive away some of the coldness, and said: "Now, it's time for the governor to take action."

Zhu Hanbin turned his back to him, his expression slightly changed, and he said with a smile: "Of course, I have already sent a letter to Bianliang, asking the Ghost King to work and place our people in all the branches of Cao, Yan, and Huizhou."

"The Ghost King is the governor's ally?"

"I have always been very supportive of the Ghost King. The King of Jiyin should know that the Dark Emperor and the Ghost King are not on good terms."

Xiao Yan blew a breath of tea, lowered his eyes and asked, "If it is true that the Ghost King Zhu Youwen has been secretly imprisoned by the Hades Emperor, and the Ghost King in the eyes of the world is actually a puppet used by the Hades Emperor to fool Zhu Wen, what should the governor do?"

"How can it be!"

Zhu Hanbin's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The Ghost King himself is quite powerful, and has been favored by His Majesty in recent years. How could it be fake?"

"As far as I know, the Dark Emperor is the most powerful in the Xuanming Sect, followed by the Ghost King. If the Dark Emperor really wants to do this, it is possible." Xiao Yan said, "Whether it is true or not, the governor will know when he goes to Bianliang to verify it."

"I am serving as the governor of Caozhou and have not been summoned. How can I return to Bianliang?"

"Isn't the governor Zhu Wen's adopted son? It's almost New Year, why can't I go back to Bianliang to pay him a visit?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Moreover, the governor should be able to guess that Zhu Wen is still afraid of Li Tang. If he can take the initiative to express his willingness to kill Li Yu on behalf of Zhu Wen, shouldn't he be able to make further progress?"

Zhu Hanbin's heart tightened, and he looked at Xiao Yan and Li Yu's identical faces in astonishment, and asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

"I said that I would help the governor to rebel. But with only a tiny influence in the Xuanming Sect, how can we compete with the Dark Emperor? At present, Zhu Liang's elite soldiers are all imperial guards. If the governor does not return to Bianliang, how can we narrow the gap?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "When the time comes, we will have to use Li Yu's head to gain our first great momentum."

Zhu Hanbin's heart skipped a beat. Unable to conceal his joy, he quickly stepped forward.

"Does the Prince of Jiyin really think so?"

"You and I are allies. What you have is what I have, isn't it?"

Xiao Yan whispered: "The governor should be the next ghost king."

Zhu Hanbin's eyes flickered slightly. He kept rubbing his hands, walking back and forth for a while, and said, "If so, I'm afraid that His Majesty will abandon me..."

"It's not like you're asking the governor to kill the king, so why should you be afraid?"

"Let me think about it..."
