Douluo: My Martial Soul is a Bone

Soon, the next morning.

Gu Yuan set off for Xicheng.

Before setting off, Gu Yuan put on the gray cloak given to him by Gu Rong.The purpose of wearing a cloak is to hide his appearance.

After all, if a "kid" like him is found to be out alone.

It would inevitably add some unnecessary trouble. Gu Yuan didn't want to attract other people's attention before he arrived in Xicheng.Clean up the room, put on the cloak, and bring the killing tools that you have prepared in the past few days.Get on the carriage from Tiandou City to Xicheng.

Gu Yuan left the capital of Tiandou Kingdom quietly.

.......

At this time, in the Qibao Glazed Sect, Gu Tang looked at the information in his hand about Gu Yuan's mission objectives, as well as Gu Yuan's whereabouts in the past few days.

"Here comes someone." He said solemnly.

"Leader!!" Three figures emerged from the darkness.

"You go and monitor Gu Yuan carefully. I want to know every detail of his mission."

"Understood!" After receiving the order, the three figures disappeared again.

At this time, Gu Yuan didn't know that his every move was under Gu Tang's surveillance.He didn't know until later.

.........

Xicheng is quite far away from Tiandou City, roughly equivalent to the distance from Shantou to Guangzhou in the previous life.

By the time Gu Yuan arrived at the gate of Xicheng, it was already three days later.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Yuan rented a room for a week in a hotel called Mingde in the city. When the owner of the hotel saw such a big customer coming to his door, he was quite eye-catching and just left without asking anything. A room was opened for Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan decided to explore the topography of the city first before talking about anything else.

So he dressed up in disguise.

First, he put on a set of ordinary people's clothes, then painted the exposed skin with some kind of yellow dye, making his skin look like a farmer who had worked for a long time. Finally, he put on a prepared human skin mask. .

His whole image suddenly changed from that of a handsome nobleman to that of a young farmer working outside the city.

After this change, Gu Yuan believed that no one except his grandfather and uncle could tell that he was Gu Yuan just from his appearance.

He put the clothes he had changed back into his soul guide and left the hotel.

At this time, there was an additional young farmer in Xicheng who went to the city to purchase daily necessities, and a missing mysterious outsider.

Gu Yuan walked on the street.Look at the people and buildings around you with interest.

There were many kinds of snacks on the street, and he tasted them as he walked.

It was around five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, but most of them were men. Even if there were women, they were all older, middle-aged women.

I won’t tell you the reason, but you also understand.

He walked to a shabby liquor store.

There are several old wooden tables and chairs outside the wine shop. There are many large and small cracks on the tables and chairs, like marks from swords.

It seems that the store owner is also a person with a story.

Gu Yuan was sitting on a chair. The chair creaked, as if it was about to fall over at any moment.

The shopkeeper in the wine shop walked out slowly.

It was an old man with gray hair and cloudy eyes. He walked slowly in front of Gu Yuan and sounded a hoarse voice.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

"A bottle of Ghana wine."

"OK, just a second."

After saying that, he slowly walked in again.

After a while, the old man came over with wooden wine barrels. Although he looked quite old, his waist was indeed straight.

Putting the wine in front of Gu Yuan, he turned around and left.

Gu Yuan opened his mouth to stop him.

"Old man, you don't have many guests now anyway. Come sit down and chat for a while."

The old man's footsteps stopped.

He turned around and looked at Gu Yuan, his face expressionless.

"I don't know what the guests want to talk about."

"Let's talk about Xicheng. I'm from outside the city and I'm quite curious about this place."

The old man did not sit down, but spoke slowly.

"Young man, I advise you to leave as soon as possible if nothing happens. Things will not be peaceful in Xicheng very soon."

After saying that, he ignored Gu Yuan and left alone.

He glanced at the old man, picked up the wine and left the wine shop.

Something big seems to be happening here, Gu Yuan thought to himself.

However, he still had to finish what he had to do at the moment. If there was really any danger, he could just leave then.

Then Gu Yuan continued to "shopping" in Xicheng. This time he did not eat or drink, but quickened his pace. Every time he passed a corner, he would stop for 5 minutes, and then continue to the next place.

Xicheng was just a small city, covering a small area. Gu Yuan quickly memorized the location of the city.

It was already evening when we returned to the hotel.

Gu Yuan drew these directions and locations into a simple map.Then go out to a local tavern to solve the problem of dinner.

Some people may wonder why they would go to a smoky place like a tavern when there are many places to eat in Xicheng.

Because you can hear a lot of "gossip" about all kinds of things in Xicheng there.

He found a corner, ordered some food and wine, and sat there quietly, listening to the conversations in the tavern.

There was a lot of chatter in the tavern.After a while, Gu Yuan heard what he wanted to hear.

"Did you hear what I said? In two days, the father of the "bully" in Wuhun Palace will be promoted to deputy palace master."

"Really? How did you know you were here?"

"My nephew is the guard at the entrance of Wuhun Palace. He overheard the big shots when they passed by."

"If that's true, the young women in Xicheng will be in dire straits."

"Isn't that right? It turns out that when he was still a deacon, that beast dared to rob women on the street. When his father became the deputy palace master, he didn't know what disgusting things he was going to do."

"Hey, when will this kind of life end? I don't even dare to let my wife go out on the street."

"Come on, your wife weighs over 200 pounds, only a devil can see her."

"You!....That's what you said."

.........

Gu Yuan sat quietly in the corner, listening to the chats of these people in Xicheng.

About two hours later, Gu Yuan left the tavern.

After returning to the hotel, he wrote down all these things.

In two days, the father of the target mission will be promoted to deputy palace master. In the past few days, the target person has been locked up at home and is not allowed to go out, for fear of damaging the image of the deacon in the minds of the upcoming high-level officials of Wuhun Palace.

Therefore, these days, Gu Yuan has no chance to make a move.

But after the big shots in Wuhun Palace leave, the target person will definitely be unable to help but come out.

Until then, it will be the day of Operation Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry, it was just a matter of waiting a few more days, and he could afford to wait.

"Enjoy the stable time these days. In a few days, you won't be able to enjoy it anymore." Gu Yuan murmured.
