As a major event was finalized, the banquet atmosphere became more and more lively, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. The three big shots above were about to take over. The wealthy merchants and distinguished guests behind them were all praising them, and the white-haired swordsmen below were also in awe.
At this time, I didn’t know what kind of excitement he was talking about, but he stood up. He was the leader of a business group. The one who came to attend the Shen Ying Gui this year was considered a fresh face in Yulang City. He said loudly: "The owner of the village needs slaves who can fight. Or fighters, we have them in stock here, they are very cheap, I can’t find anything better in the city, and we can also give the owner a further discount. I guarantee that the owner will be invincible by then!"
Everyone laughed again, and Tu Fei said in the laughter: "Shopkeeper Tang, it's good that you have this intention. But even if the battle between the manors is a civil war, the outcome is not determined by fighters. These ordinary people can be treated as side dishes at most. The meal has to be a duel between swordsmen! If you have swordsmen, you can bring some to Brother Jian."
Shopkeeper Tang looked embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "I can't sell it, I can't sell it. I don't dare to sell it, I don't dare to sell it."
The only swordsman in this world who can be reduced to a commodity is the white-haired swordsman from Zongliang Mountain, and that is only transferred between the manor owners. After leaving the Gangliang Mountains, the swordsman was still aloof, enjoying glory and wealth, and could not be bought or sold. If these foreign businessmen dare to do this business, they will be torn apart by swords when they go out.
The young master said: "I can't afford what your shopkeeper has, but I can communicate with good fighters. Although the fighters under my command are brave, they have too little experience. Here are a few more experienced ones."
Shopkeeper Tang said hurriedly: "Yes, yes. I will send a few for you to choose later. It is an honor for me to be favored by you."
The crowd below cheered: "Old Tang established a relationship with the owner of the manor the first time he came to the Deep Shadow Club. He is very lucky!"
Here Jin Jiu had another glass of wine and sneered: "I heard that the swordsmen outside are all great people with great honors, and they can't even think about buying and selling. But if we don't do that in Gongliangshan, what are swordsmen?" It's just a derivative of the sword slave. A sword slave became a swordsman, which means that the sword cleaning failed once and the opportunity to get a perfect sword was wasted. Is this a good thing? Therefore, the swordsman is a waste product and is not durable for ten or twenty years. It was swept into the dust and a sword breed was wasted. Not to mention that every time a manor was destroyed, many swordsmen were displaced. These swordsmen were even less valuable, or were captured by other manors, or were hiding in some corner. As long as they paid enough If you know the price, you can certainly buy it. Just think about the secrets here."
These words inevitably involve taboos, and immediately caused another wave of silence. Even Tufei stared at him, annoyed that this colleague was talking so freely even after drinking, saying these secrets that could only be understood and unspeakable.
Fortunately, there were many business figures present here, who were always good at dancing and immediately cracked jokes to lighten the atmosphere and brought the matter to a close.
After hearing that the swordsman on the Gangliang Mountain was a loser, Chi Mingjing's eyes that had originally softened gradually began to flicker with murderous intent.
Wei Se looked at him silently and suddenly said: "Be careful."
Chi Mingjing turned his head slightly, and his eyes almost turned into sharp swords piercing Wei Se. At the same time, Wei Se looked at him calmly.
Immediately afterwards, the blazing bright light went out, and Chi Mingjing said slowly: "Don't worry, I know."
Wei Se just reminded her that looking too focused will attract attention. Even if the other party is drunk and there is a certain distance, it is still easy to be discovered. This will break the connection that was finally established.
This time, using the excuse of promotion, he took the opportunity to establish contact with Changyi Manor. This was a plan that had been made long ago. Chi Mingjing also knew that she had no reason to sabotage the plan when it was going smoothly. It would not be good for anyone.
Chi Mingjing suppressed his emotions and heard Wei Se say: "Are these two enemies of the commander back then?"
Chi Mingjing said calmly: "I don't know all about the grudges back then. Anyway, the legacy left by my master was to destroy this manor, so naturally we are enemies rather than friends. Now I will deal with it for you, you will get benefits, and I will get my wish. We each get what we need.”
What she said was not entirely true. In fact, she vaguely heard her teacher mention what happened at Changyi Manor.
The civil strife broke out in Changfa Manor that year. The reason was that the manor owner went against the grain and exceeded his limit. Four swordsmen who were sword slaves joined forces to fight to the death and killed the extremely cruel manor owner. However, in the end, internal strife broke out among themselves in order to fight for the fruits of victory.
Her teacher was the one who lost the fight and almost died. Thanks to the help of his only friend in the villa, Xing Ruo, he faked his death and sneaked out of Wangliang Mountain - this was not a real escape from the golden cicada. His Ming Gate Sacrifice Array was still in Jiangliang Mountain, but it was still there temporarily. Not captured by the enemy. Because those village heads have not yet passed the important sacrifices at Gangliang Mountain and gained the recognition of Gangliang.
Mr. Nako knew that once the sacrifices began, no matter whether his former accomplices succeeded in gaining the favor of the two, he would definitely die. Either they were discovered and devoured by the two men, or their former accomplices who successfully stole the manor discovered that they were still alive and easily disposed of them. Therefore, he made a desperate move and wanted to obtain the Xumi Sword, which had a similar sword intent to his own, and fuse its sword intent into a more powerful sword intent, thereby becoming a swordsman.
By becoming a swordsman, he can use his sword skills to seal his mind and body to resist the pull of the priest. Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he has a glimmer of hope. So he was anxious, his strategy was very radical, and he made enemies everywhere. Whether it's the swordsman Ping Jiangqiu in the jar or the powerful Jiandisi, there is nothing he dares not touch.
The result of the adventure was a complete failure.
Perhaps the only success is that he left behind Chi Mingjing as the heir, so that the traces of his life will not completely disappear in the world.
There is no glory in telling this kind of history. Chi Mingjing will definitely not preach it to his ancestors casually, but just remember it silently in his heart. Although it stands to reason that without the conflict at Changfa Manor, there would be no chance of her being rescued, but she would definitely not accept such a roundabout favor. Instead, she would completely eradicate Changyi Manor to avenge her master.
The banquet continued until late at night as usual, and everyone was drunk at the end. The young master insisted on seeing the guests off at the door, mainly the two heads of the first-level manor, and the rest of the people could only crowd them out. There are carriages from various houses coming to pick you up at the door, and all kinds of BMWs are packed with people.
Na Tufei drank too much. It was already dark when he went out. He was so drunk that everything he saw was dark and the world was spinning. Just as he was about to board the carriage, he suddenly felt a figure in his peripheral vision.
At a glance, he felt a little excited and quickly turned around to look, but when he looked carefully, the figure was nowhere to be seen.
Tu Fei was surprised, paused, and finally got into the car. He didn't wait for anyone else to ask, and he didn't ask anyone else - there was no one else in the car. His partner who co-managed Changfa Villa had already met him. How can we get into the same car together after being drunk when we are at odds with each other and are always on guard against each other?
In Mengliang Mountain, seeing weird things is an ominous sign. No matter what weirdness you experience, it will rot in your stomach and must not be spread randomly. He can only slowly reflect on it while the car is driving: Who was that person just now? Are they people from this world?
If it were a real person, it would be truly "astonishing".
With such an appearance, it must be... worth a thousand taels of silver, right?
Another banquet was dispersed, and everyone was packing up to rest. Seeing the two teenagers leading the servants to clean up the mess, Chi Mingjing calmed down and went back to her room to rest. There was Ariel, whom she had not seen for several days, waiting for her.
Wei Se stared at the servants after they finished cleaning up, and then returned to a big room at the back. Bai Zhi, Zi Su, Jiang Shenyi, Fang Weiran and others are all here, but Jin Wu and Tang Zhao are not.
Fang Weiran had obviously just entered the house, and his face was a little dizzy from drinking. Zisu poured him a cup of Yan tea and asked, "How is it?"
Fang Weiran shook his head and said, "No."
Bai Zhi sighed and said, "Not yet? Have you scanned the whole manor? Still can't find it?"
Fang Weiran hummed and said: "Xing Shisan has brought down all the slaves who have spoken to the manor. Today is the last group to arrive. Even the new sword slaves with limited mobility have gathered. We still can't contact them. That person."
Bai Zhi frowned and said: "This is strange. The method of contacting all parties through banquets prescribed by Commander Tang should be good. Before you know it, you can communicate openly and openly. Didn't we also contact Old Tang today? Now we and All the other companions pretending to be caravans have been contacted, and we have also contacted the insiders of our Jing'an Division. The plans of the Deep Shadow Society have also been connected, the Changyi Manor has also been spied on, and even the details of each manor have been investigated. , why can’t we find the undercover agent of your land inspection department? I asked... is there really such a person? "
Fang Weiran raised his eyebrows and said: "What are you talking about? Of course there is, otherwise the accurate information was sent by ghosts? Wasn't it the same person who sent the news about Xing Wu's assassination a few days ago? This The fact that secrets can be passed on quickly shows that he is a very good insider. Our land inspection department is not good at using time. None of the pigeons that were placed in Zongliang Mountain in the past lasted long. It was because of him that he got through Zongliang again after many years. There is extremely reliable information coming from the inside of the mountain. Maybe it is because it is not easy to lurk, and he is a cautious person who can stay today, so he is worried, right?"
Bai Zhi said: "I know, there must be this person. But just because he quickly delivered important news two days ago, Xing Wu was saved, but his existence was also exposed. There must be very few people who know Xing Cang's secret information , once screened, he couldn’t hide it. Maybe the old guy had caught him and killed him?”
Fang Weiran said: "You have reason to worry. But it shouldn't be the case. For one thing, the old guy is under surveillance. It's Ah Qin who is monitoring him, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. For another thing, Commander Tang thinks the undercover agent is safe."
Bai Zhi shook her head and said: "This may be really strange. Commander Tang doesn't know anything about the undercover agent, but he has a lot of strange confidence. I would like to know who he is. His identity is kept secret, so even Commander Tang can't know?" "
Fang Weiran said: "It's not surprising that Commander Tang doesn't know his identity. Maybe... Commander Gongsun doesn't know either?"
Bai Zhi said "Huh?", and Fang Weiran continued: "It seems that even Junhou doesn't know."
