Chapter 138: Journey to the Sea of Stars
Chapter 138: Journey to the Sea of Stars (Long Chapter)
Datong Prefecture City has been expanded three times in the past decade. Its current permanent population exceeds 60, which is more than the population of the provincial capital of Feng Province.
The streets here are paved with stone slabs, with numerous advertising signs on both sides of the streets and five- and six-story buildings everywhere.
Bicycles, rickshaws and cars were mixed on the road, trams honked through the streets, and a huge movie poster was hung on the wall of a department store.
After Li Fei walked into Datong City, all he saw along the way were such prosperous scenes, and he felt like he had walked into the Shanghai of the Republic of China period in his previous life.
Ten miles of Hua Street, full of wealth!
Although he was wearing a mask and carrying weapons, the number of warriors in Datong City was the largest in the entire Feng Province, so there were warriors dressed like him on weekdays. He was not too conspicuous when walking on the street.
Soon, the green-faced ghost disappeared in the crowd.
"You said he showed a document to the city guards at the city gate when he entered the city?"
By the lake, an old man wearing a straw hat and straw sandals was fishing.
A middle-aged man in a blue robe stood aside and reported to the old man the whereabouts of the Green-faced Ghost after he entered the city.
"Yes, many people near the city gate saw it at the time. After the captain finished reading the document, his face changed and he became much more respectful to the Green-Faced Ghost. Then he stopped questioning and let him go."
The man in blue robe said.
"Is the Green-Faced Ghost related to the City Guards?"
The old man who was fishing frowned slightly, looking intimidating without being angry.
He is Yu Longqing, the 'Beast King' and one of the 'Seven Kings' of Datong City!
Unlike the Green-Faced Ghost King, whose name is only famous in Xingcheng, these seven underworld giants in Datong City are still well-known figures even in the entire Feng Province underworld!
The business of 'Beast King' Yu Longqing is not limited to Datong Prefecture, but spreads throughout the entire Feng Province, and he even has business dealings with forces from other provinces.
"We are checking."
The man in blue robe said quickly.
"Have you found out who helped Shangguan Xiao from Xingcheng get to the top?"
Yu Longqing continued to ask.
The blue-robed man had cold sweat on his forehead and said in panic, "We are still investigating."
"Ah."
A smile appeared on Yu Longqing's face.
brush!
When the blue-robed man saw this smile, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"It is my fault for not doing my job well. I beg the Beast King to give me a few more days!"
Everyone under Yu Longqing knew that whenever the 'Beast King' smiled, it usually meant he wanted to kill someone.
Moreover, the 'Beast King' usually does not kill people directly, but throws them to strange beasts to be hunted and killed, and finally they become food for the strange beasts!
Yu Longqing kept smiling, but suddenly he raised the fishing rod in his hand.
Boom——
The next second, the lake water exploded, creating a huge wave!
A giant strange fish with a body length of more than ten meters and covered with bone spurs was forcibly fished out of the lake by Yu Longqing using a thin fishing line.
Yu Longqing shook his wrist, and the giant fish weighing more than two thousand kilograms was thrown out and finally hit the shore heavily, breaking several large trees and making a big hole in the ground!
"Moo-"
The strange fish struggled desperately on the ground, making loud howling sounds.
The sound is unpleasant and sharp, making people feel strongly nauseous and want to vomit.
"If you don't find a result within three days, I will throw you into the lake to feed it."
Yu Longqing said in a cold tone.
"Yes, I understand!"
The man in blue robe responded quickly, then fled away quickly.
Yu Longqing didn't even look at the strange fish he had forcefully fished ashore, and continued to stare at the lake in front of him.
The lake water was still rippling, and waves kept coming towards the shore.
got windy.
Night falls.
On Fenghua Street, there are bright lights and music. Every dance hall is decorated with lights and colorful lights flashing, making the night colorful.
This street is a famous place of entertainment in Datong City, with a total of 17 dance halls!
These dance halls are considered first-class brothels and are a type of "light singing troupe".
In Xingcheng, there are no more than a handful of first-class places like this, but there are seventeen of them opened here!
Therefore, Fenghua Street is the most famous place for entertainment in Datong City. The dignitaries and young men and women in the city all love to come here to play.
The 17 dance halls here select their most beautiful courtesan every year, which is a grand event for the whole city.
Moreover, the courtesans selected every year would eventually follow the real big shots in the city. The most legendary courtesan was even taken into the bedroom of the former governor of Datong Prefecture!
The highest official of a city is the mayor, and the highest official of a prefecture is the garrison commander.
In the largest dance hall on Fenghua Street, in a room backstage, a woman in a red dress was putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
The woman's skin was as white as snow, her black hair was tied up, and her shoulders were half exposed. Even if you just look at her back, you can feel your heart beating fast and your beauty captivating you.
"Sanniang, I just received news that the Green-Faced Ghost went to the Human-Faced Villa."
A beautiful woman walked into the room and spoke softly to the woman in red who was putting on makeup.
The seventeen dance halls on Fenghua Street are all owned by this woman in red. She is the 'Queen' Feng Sanniang, one of the 'Seven Kings'!
Feng Sanniang is in charge of all the brothels in the city. She is the real number one figure in this circle and the only woman who can stand on equal footing with several other underworld giants.
"Oh? Going into the dragon's den alone?"
Feng Sanniang did not turn around, but her voice was full of charm, making people feel itchy:
"He is quite a character. If he can come out of the Manor alive tonight, please send him an invitation. I want to meet him in person, Sanniang."
Over the years, everyone who was personally received by Feng Sanniang has become a big shot in Datong City!
"Yes."
The woman who came to report the news turned around and left with Sanniang's orders.
On the other side, outside the gate of Renmian Villa, Li Fei stood alone with a knife on his back.
The Human-Faced Villa is the base camp of the "Beast King" Yu Longqing, and he also gave the name of this villa.
When people hear this name, they will inevitably think of the phrase "a beast in human form", and this may also be what Yu Longqing wants to tell the world:
The people living in here may have human faces, but the hearts of beasts!
After Li Fei waited for a while outside the gate of the villa, the iron gate was opened and a man walked out with murderous intent on his face.
He was full of vigor and a powerful force was flowing through his body, ready to burst out at any time.
This is a martial artist who practices martial arts.
"Beast King, please come in."
The visitor said to Li Fei.
Li Fei didn't say anything. He looked calmly ahead and walked forward.
The man showed a sinister smile and led the way.
In this way, Li Fei entered the Renmian Villa.
The villa is very big, with a mountain, a forest and a lake behind it.
Li Fei followed the person leading the way in front of him and walked neither fast nor slow. Along the way, he could feel malicious eyes falling on him, and the steel armor implant in his body also became restless.
This is the feeling of being pointed at with a gun!
Li Fei walked for nearly ten minutes before he reached the back mountain of the villa and arrived at the location of the lake.
By the lake, lights are lit up, reflecting the rippling water.
There was a person standing at intervals along the shore.
Li Fei took a quick glance and sensed at least ten martial artists!
When Xingcheng Zhige Academy was at its peak, it could not even produce ten registered martial artists.
This is the difference between Datong Prefecture City and Xingcheng!
After a while, the visitor walked towards an old man who was fishing on the shore:
"Beast King, the people are here."
The man lowered his head and said to Yu Longqing.
"Ah."
Yu Longqing continued to stare at the lake without raising his head.
The man stepped back, allowing Li Fei, who was not far away, to see Yu Longqing directly.
He felt a powerful aura from deep in the jungle locking onto him. This aura was full of primitive, bloody feeling, not like that of a human.
Although Yu Longqing has only one Daoji-stage strongman named Zhang Shan under his command, he can control high-level exotic beasts, so facing him is equivalent to facing several Daoji-stage strongmen!
Shangguan Xiao had specifically reminded Li Fei of this before coming here.
Seeing that Yu Longqing had no intention of speaking, Li Fei did not rush to speak and simply turned around to enjoy the scenery of the lake.
Although he was being stared at by dozens of hostile eyes and the gazes of powerful beasts in the jungle, Li Fei acted calm and not nervous at all.
Ten minutes later, Yu Longqing's fishing rod moved, and he swung it violently.
This time, what was caught was no longer a strange beast, but a normal fish.
He put the fish he caught into the fish basket beside him, then turned to look at Li Fei not far away:
"Zhang Shan is still alive?"
"Yes."
Li Fei turned around and looked into the eyes of the 'Beast King' for the first time.
The other person's eyes were green and contained naked animality, they didn't look like normal human eyes at all!
"You want to use Zhang Shan as a bargaining chip to make a deal with me?"
Yu Longqing continued to ask.
"Yes."
Li Fei's answer was still brief.
Yu Longqing looked at him and suddenly laughed:
"Do you think you can defeat me just by capturing Zhang Shan?"
As soon as the words fell, the earth suddenly shook.
boom!
boom!
boom!
There is a huge monster deep in the jungle walking towards this side, and every step makes the earth shake!
Yu Longqing suddenly controlled the strange beast to attack Li Fei!
This "Beast King" is known for his madness and bloodlust, and can never be guessed by common sense.
Facing the strange beast that was about to rush out, Li Fei remained calm, his eyes like a calm lake without a trace of ripples.
He just stood there quietly waiting.
As the footsteps of the strange beast got closer, the man who had led the way suddenly rushed to Yu Longqing and whispered:
"Beast King, the Zhang family suddenly sent someone to deliver a letter!"
"Zhang family?"
Yu Longqing suddenly turned his head and stared at his subordinates.
With his action, the strange beasts in the jungle also stopped.
The Zhang family is one of the three major families in Datong Prefecture. The current head of the family, Zhang Zongyang, is the helmsman of the Datong Prefecture Zhige General Hospital.
The Helmsman is a senior figure in the Zhige General Hospital second only to the Chief. He is not only responsible for part of the affairs of the General Hospital, but also for the affairs of the Zhige Hospital in a city under Datong Prefecture. His official rank is a fourth-class officer, a level 13 official, one level higher than the mayor of a city!
Above the third-rank official is the fourth-rank official. There is a saying about the so-called "official in seat", which goes "one man for one job". There are only so many seats in the officialdom of the entire Da Lan Dynasty, and when someone sits on it, someone else must stand up and leave. This is completely different from the three ranks of official positions below.
Only when one reaches the level of an official can one be considered to have truly gained a place in the officialdom of the Great Lan Dynasty.
The Zhang family has a Zhige General Hospital at the helm. Even though its influence has declined over the years and it is not as prosperous as the other two families, it is still a giant in Datong City. Even the "Beast King" Yu Longqing dare not underestimate it.
"What about the letter?"
Yu Longqing asked.
His intuition told him that the Zhang family suddenly sent him a letter at this time, which must be related to the green-faced ghost in front of him!
Sure enough, after reading the letter handed over by his subordinates, the madness in Yu Longqing's eyes subsided a lot, and he looked at Li Fei not far away again:
"It turns out that Shangguan Xiao is from the Zhang family."
Although it was not stated explicitly in the letter, he had already figured out the key.
Shangguan Xiao was able to rise directly from a commoner to the head of a city's Zhigeyuan. There must be someone helping him behind the scenes, and he must hold a high official position in Datong Prefecture.
Yu Longqing asked his subordinates to investigate the matter, but they have not found anything yet. Now the other party has brought the answer themselves - it was the Zhang family who was helping Shangguan Xiao behind the scenes.
The Zhang family has been running the Zhige General Hospital in Datong Prefecture for many years and is indeed capable of paving the way for Shangguan Xiao without making a fuss.
"Is this what you rely on?"
Yu Longqing stared at Li Fei.
Li Fei looked at him and asked, "How about it, is the Beast King willing to trade?"
Shangguan Xiao changed his name to his mother's after he had a falling out with his family in his early years, so he did not have the surname Zhang.
Over the years, the Zhang family in Datong Prefecture has been in a period of transition. There are no outstanding talents in the younger generation, and the masters of the older generation have fallen one after another. Now only the head of the family, Zhang Zongyang, is left to support the family, and they can't even produce a second Dao Foundation Stage expert.
Under such circumstances, Shangguan Xiao, who had already reached the Dao Foundation Stage, expressed his willingness to return to the family, and the Zhang family was naturally delighted.
This is the real reason why Li Fei dared to come to Datong City alone this time. The document he showed to the city guards today was also a pass issued by the Zhang family, with the seal of the Zhige General Hospital on it.
Just like what he said to Zhang Shan that night:
If you want to get involved in the world, you have to have power!
After showing the ability to capture Zhang Shan alive, the Zhang family now appears again. Such power is enough to intimidate Yu Longqing.
"I hate being threatened the most. Aren't you afraid that I won't give face to the Zhang family, or do you insist on killing you?"
Yu Longqing suddenly asked in a stern voice.
As he finished speaking, the people standing along the shore drew their weapons.
Brushing, brushing, brushing——
The sound of a series of swords being unsheathed was heard.
Not only that, the strange beast that stopped in the jungle suddenly howled to the sky, making a shocking roar! In the blink of an eye, the monstrous murderous intent swept towards Li Fei like a flood!
Li Fei looked at the other party and said calmly:
"Everyone says that the Beast King is crazy, but if you were really a lunatic, you wouldn't have gotten to this point today."
Even if Yu Longqing really went crazy today and insisted on taking action, there were experts from the Zhang family outside to support him, so he had a great chance of escaping alive.
"Hahahahaha-"
Yu Longqing suddenly laughed, "Good, very good!"
"You must live well. I am looking forward to our second meeting!"
Half an hour later, Li Fei walked out of Renmian Villa.
He had just walked out of the villa not far when a beautiful woman in cheongsam with a graceful figure walked towards him.
Walking in front of Li Fei, the woman bowed and handed him a gold-embossed invitation:
"Sir, my third wife invites you."
Li Fei took the invitation, opened it and took a look. He found that there was no date specified on it, so he said to the woman who delivered the invitation:
"Go back and tell Sanniang that I will visit you later."
Upon hearing this, the woman bowed to Li Fei again, then turned and left.
Soon, the Green-Faced Ghost walked out of the Human-Faced Villa safely, and the news that the "Queen" Feng Sanniang personally invited him spread like wildfire throughout the entire Datong City.
That night, the name of the Green-Faced Ghost resounded throughout Datong Prefecture!
12 month 23 day.
Almost a month has passed since Li Fei returned from Datong Prefecture.
During this month, he concentrated on practicing every day, and occasionally dealt with some matters of the Qingyuan Urban Management Company.
On this day, Li Fei came to the Military Academy as usual to train with Hao Yi.
Not long after the training began, the head of the Military Academy personally found the two of them.
"Mr. Hao, the investigation team sent by higher-ups wants to see student Li Fei."
The head of the Military Academy spoke cautiously to Hao Yi.
Now the investigation team sent by the provincial capital has gone back, but the investigation team sent by Datong Prefecture has remained in Xingcheng. They will not leave until the new director general takes office.
Now the investigation team of Datong Prefecture wants to see Li Fei.
Hao Yi turned his head and glanced at Li Fei: "Then go ahead."
He could probably guess the other party's intention of meeting Li Fei.
Li Fei could also guess that Shangguan Xiao had analyzed this matter for him before.
"it is good."
Li Fei bowed to Hao Yi, put on his clothes, and left with the head of the Military Academy.
After a while, the other party took him to the outside of a reception room and said very politely:
"Student Li Fei, please go in by yourself."
"Thank you for leading the way, Master."
Li Fei thanked the other party politely, then turned and entered the room.
There were two men in black suits waiting in the room, one of whom was Cheng Bi, who had developed Li Fei into a secret inspector.
Although Gu Zhenhui had resigned, he made some special arrangements before leaving, so Cheng Bi was not only not implicated, but was promoted instead.
Now he is the chief secret agent of the Xingcheng Supervisory Office, a position second only to the president, and is already an official appointed by the imperial court!
"Xiao Fei, let me introduce you."
Cheng Bi stood up enthusiastically, pointed at the man next to him and said to Li Fei:
"This is Xia Huan, the inspector of the Datong Prefecture General Inspection Office, Lord Xia."
The rank of the Datong Prefecture Supervisory Office is one level higher than that of the local Supervisory Offices, so although they are both supervisors, Xia Huan and Cheng Bi, the chief secret envoy, are of the same rank and are both appointed officials of the imperial court.
"Master Cheng, Master Xia."
Li Fei saluted to the two men in turn.
Looking at the polite and upright Li Fei, Xia Huan nodded with satisfaction and said in a friendly manner:
"I'll call you Xiao Fei too, no need to be so reserved, sit down and chat."
The three of them sat down, with Cheng Bi and Xia Huan sitting opposite Li Fei.
"Xiao Fei, we are here to announce our commendation to you."
Cheng Bi smiled and said:
"The confession letter you submitted to the Supervisory Office earlier was a very important piece of evidence and clue. Through that letter, we uncovered many spies that Mega Country had planted in our Great Blue Dynasty! In view of your contributions, the higher-ups have decided to promote you. From now on, you, the secret inspector, will be equivalent to a local fourth-level inspector, and you will have corresponding salary and authority!"
Li Fei was stunned after hearing this.
The local fourth-level inspectors are second-class subordinate officials, and are level 9 officials!
In other words, Li Fei just delivered a letter and did nothing else, but he won all the way without any effort, directly crossed the first hurdle in the officialdom and became a level 9 official.
Li Lei had been working on this step for more than ten years but had not been able to reach this step. Li Fei had been a secret inspector for less than half a year and had achieved it in one step!
The salary of a fourth-level inspector is not much, but his authority is rare and he can find a lot of information that is not available outside.
Although he knew that the other party did this in order to win over Hao Yi and others behind him, Li Fei still didn't expect it to be so big.
"Master Cheng, this..."
Li Fei showed a confused expression just right.
Cheng Bi and Xia Huan looked at each other and smiled.
"Xiao Fei, I know you are surprised, but this time I am rewarding you not only for your previous contributions, but also because I have a difficult task to give you!"
Cheng Bi said to Li Fei.
"What mission?"
Li Fei thought to himself that it had come, but his expression was still full of surprise.
Cheng Bi looked at Xia Huan who was standing beside him. Xia Huan said:
"Xiao Fei, the foreigners have planted spies in our Great Blue Dynasty with ill intentions. This matter is very serious and involves a lot of people. Although we have found some suspects, there are still many people to investigate. Next, when you go to Datong City, we need you to help investigate the case in secret."
"There are foreign spies in Wu'an University?!"
Li Fei asked in surprise.
He must have gone to Wuhan University when he went to Datong City. The other party asked him to investigate the case secretly, so he could only investigate Wuhan University.
Xia Huan looked serious:
"It's not certain yet, so I need you to check. Wuda is related to the foundation of our Great Blue Dynasty, and there will be no filth in it!"
"Yes, I will try my best!"
Li Fei stood up and said seriously.
"it is good."
Xia Huan smiled and nodded, "Come, sit down."
"After you go to Datong City, you can only contact me. I have another task for you."
"Master Xia, please speak."
"I need you to monitor the Green-Faced Ghost for me!"
Xia Huan said in a deep voice.
"what?"
Li Fei was really surprised this time.
"I know that the Green-Faced Ghost saved you before, and he has a close relationship with your master's aunt, but people like him who use force to break the law and disregard discipline are too dangerous!"
Xia Huan looked into Li Fei's eyes and said seriously:
"The Green-Faced Ghost has already appeared in Datong City, and he will definitely attack again in Datong City. So after you go to Datong City, if you have any news about him, I need you to let me know in time."
"."
Li Fei was silent.
Before he even went to Datong Prefecture, he had already received the task of monitoring the Green-faced Ghost.
It's hard to judge.
Seeing Li Fei was silent, Cheng Bi thought he was hesitating, so he said:
"Xiao Fei, your adoptive father will be the Chief Inspector of the Inspection Institute in the future, and your aunt will be the head of the Zhige Institute in the future. It would not be a good thing for them to get too involved with someone like the Green-Faced Ghost! If you take on this mission now, maybe you can help them in the future, or even save their lives!"
Li Fei was startled when he heard this and looked at Cheng Bi:
"I understand. Thank you, Master Cheng, for reminding me."
Then he said to Xia Huan with a firm face:
"Master Xia, I am willing to take on this task!"
"it is good."
Xia Huan nodded with satisfaction.
He felt that it was a brilliant move to use Li Fei to monitor the Green-Faced Ghost!
"But when I go to Datong Prefecture, the earliest I can do that is September next year."
Li Fei said suddenly.
He has to get a place in the Military Academy before he can go to Wuhan University, and this place will not be confirmed until May next year. Then in September next year, Wuhan University will welcome new students, and only then can he go to Datong Prefecture.
Upon hearing this, Xia Huan and Cheng Bi smiled at each other again.
Cheng Bi smiled and said to Li Fei:
"Xiao Fei, your identity as a secret inspector cannot be made public, so our commendation to you today cannot be made public either. However, your contribution must be made public, so the higher-ups have decided to reward you with a special recruitment quota for the Zhige Department of Wu'an University!"
Li Fei was stunned.
Special recruitment quotas are usually awarded by the imperial court to people who have made great contributions, and these people are specially rewarded with the opportunity to study in twelve universities.
However, such places are hard to come by and cannot be obtained intentionally. One can only rely on luck, so Li Fei never thought that he would be able to enter Wuhan University through special recruitment.
"When the new chief arrives in Xingcheng, he will personally award you this special recruitment spot."
Xia Huan said to Li Fei:
"The new director general will arrive in a few days, so you can report to Wuhan University by January next year at the latest!"
At this moment, Li Fei felt a little emotional.
His first goal after crossing into this world was to go to the Zhige Department of Wuan University.
He originally thought that it would take at least a year to achieve this goal, but now, less than half a year has passed and he has achieved it.
In fact, with Hao Yi's level of cultivation, he can continue to guide Li Fei in his practice.
But Xingcheng is too small and there are too few resources available here.
Only by going to university can Li Fei obtain better training resources and grow faster. This is why he must enter Wuan University.
Datong Prefecture and Wu'an University are the places suitable for young people to gallop.
A wider world!
May 12, the 28th year of Hongguang.
These are the last few days of the year.
The new chief of Xingcheng has arrived.
He brought the name plates and gold seals of three newly appointed court officials, Li Lei, Shangguan Xiao and Cheng Bi, from the Cabinet Center.
With these two things, Li Lei and others officially became officials appointed by the court.
In addition, the new director also brought Li Fei a special recruitment quota for the Zhige Department of Wu'an University.
With this quota, Li Fei can report directly to Wuhan University.
He could walk into Datong City with the identity of Li Fei and compete with those talented students from Wuhan University!
It took him just over five months to walk from Xingcheng to Datong Prefecture.
It only took him more than five months to transform from an ordinary person into a martial artist in the Qi transformation stage.
Although the journey ahead is still long, it will surely be very exciting!
That day, Li Fei finished training with Hao Yi as usual.
"When do you plan to go to Datong City?"
Hao Yi asked calmly.
"In a few days, we will set off on January 1st next year."
Li Fei replied.
"Well, after you go to Wuda, you can call me anytime if you have any questions about cultivation. You will cultivate [Hunyuan Tianjin] in the future. There should be few people in Wuda who know this foundation better than me."
Hao Yi looked at Li Fei and said so.
Li Fei faced Hao Yi, bowed slowly, saluted deeply, and said in a rare and emotional tone:
"No matter where you go in the future, you will always be my teacher!"
A smile appeared on Hao Yi's serious face, and he stepped forward to help Li Fei up:
“This world is far more wonderful than you can imagine. Enjoy your life and create your own wonderful life.”
Li Fei stood up, looked at Hao Yi, and nodded solemnly.
He is more certain than anyone else that his future will be the sea of stars!
At this moment, the sun is shining outside the window.
A breeze blew, and an eagle flapped its wings and flew high.
