On New Year's Eve, looking around the entire Tai'an City, every household is brightly lit, and the people in the city are reunited with their families, with festive smiles on their faces.
After having the New Year's Eve dinner at Wu's house and chatting for a while, Su Yu took Wu Ling, Mei Ji, and Shi Shi into the carriage and drove slowly to the Su Mansion.
When Su Yu returned home, it was already early in the morning after Su Yu served Wu Ling, Mei Ji and Shi Shi to their fullest.
Looking at Wu Ling, who was frowning and already asleep, Su Yu lay on the bed and took a nap, secretly controlling the clone living in the old house to start taking action.
Su Yu disguised one of the clones as a judge, and then the two clones went out and sneaked into the night, heading all the way to the Wu Mansion where Wu Jiang was located.
After Wu Jiangrong retired, he entertained his grandson in Tai'an City.
The difference is that Wu Jiang already has his own great-grandson.
His son served as a hundred households in Lingzhou Zhenwu Division, and his grandson served as a school captain in Yuanzhou.
During the New Year, I will also rush back to Tai'an City to reunite with Wu Jiang.
Tonight is undoubtedly Su Yu's best chance to take advantage of Wu Jiang.
Wu Jiang had no choice but to surrender. If there was a big battle tonight, his family might be affected and die in the battle.
In other words, Su Yu could threaten Wu Jiang without any bloodshed, and then get what he wanted.
Passing all the way into the Wu Mansion where Wu Jiang was located, Su Yu kicked the rubble with her foot, deliberately making a trace of movement.
As a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior, Wu Jiang already had extremely keen perception.
Although Su Yu's movement was extremely subtle, he still noticed it immediately. He was lying on the bed and fell into sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and then flew to the roof.
When he saw the judge on the roof, Wu Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly and he said in a deep voice: "Judge?!"
"Hehe, Mr. Wu has really good eyesight."
Su Yujiejie smiled strangely and said, "But since I was promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, I have already served as the King of Hell in Jingzhou's Yama Palace."
"Master Wu, if you don't mind, you can call me King of Hell."
Wu Jiang's eyes narrowed, his face was full of solemnity, and he said slowly: "What are you doing here?"
Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to ask, "Aren't you afraid of death?" Is this Tai'an City a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? '
Since the other party dares to come here unscrupulously, he naturally has his support.
And this is his home. His family comes back from other places to celebrate the New Year with him.
Now that the judge has been promoted to the Hidden Dragon Realm, if the two of them fight here, his family will be killed in this battle!
Wu Jiang couldn't help but start thinking about his countermeasures.
If a fight really breaks out, he must find ways to move the battlefield.
At least there can't be a fight in your own house.
Su Yujiejie smiled strangely and said, "I am here to ask for something from Lord Wu."
"thing?"
When Wu Jiang heard this, he shook his head and said: "No matter whether I have something that your Hell Sect wants, I will never make a deal with anyone from the Hell Sect."
"If you don't want to be left here tonight, leave quickly!"
"Leave?"
Su Yu smiled and shook his head and said, "Master Wu, do you think why I came to your door tonight?"
As he said that, Su Yu looked around the entire Wu family's mansion, and Jie Jie said with a bad smile: "Master Wu, this courtyard is really big. Do you think that if you and I really get into a fight later, will the Wu family still exist?"
When Wu Jiang heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.
The other party deliberately came here on the night of his family reunion, just to use his family as hostages.
This immediately put him in a dilemma.
The battle between two Hidden Dragon Realm warriors will turn the land for miles around into ruins.
His family will most likely die from the aftermath of the martial arts of the two Hidden Dragon Realm warriors.
As a seventy-year-old man, his family has become everything to him.
In this era, the inheritance of bloodline is even more important.
Just like the previous King Wu's rebellion, even if he faced two Soul Palace realm warriors at the same time, he could still firmly gain the upper hand.
But after seeing his son die, he lost all his fighting spirit.
Because he knew very well that if there were no heirs to inherit everything he had worked hard for, then there would be no point in working hard for him.
Wu Jiang took a deep breath and forced down the boundless anger in his heart.
He once served as the governor of Jingzhou Zhenwu Division. When did he receive such coercion?
But because of this, he couldn't help but be alert.
We must not allow all family members to gather together in the future, otherwise if anything happens, wouldn't the entire Wu family be overturned?
Wu Jiang stared at Su Yu closely and said calmly: "What do you want?"
Su Yu said slowly: "Where did you get half of the Kanyu map from the King of Hell?"
really!
Although he had already guessed the other party's purpose of coming here, after hearing the judge's unworthy map, Wu Jiang suddenly understood.
However, the remaining half of the map has been snatched away by a mysterious person. Even if Hell Gate obtains the remaining half of the map, it will not be able to find the specific location.
"You got the wrong guy."
His eyes flashed slightly and he said slowly: "When the Yama Palace was first annihilated, Song Jingfu, the commander of the White Tiger, led the team, and the map of Kantu also fell into the hands of the commander of the White Tiger."
Su Yu's heart sank, and then he sneered: "Wu Jiang, at this point, do you still want to deceive me?"
"If I hadn't gotten the exact information and the map was in your hands, how could I have come to visit you?"
"I give you five breaths to hand over the Kanyu Map, otherwise your family members, except you, will die here tonight."
After saying that, Su Yu pointed his gaze into the distance, and another clone of Su Yu came out of the darkness.
Seeing that Su Yu had helpers, Wu Jiang couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
As long as the other party holds him back, his family will die tragically under the other person's butcher knife.
The half of the map of Kantu obtained from Yama Hall was indeed in his hand.
Song Jingfu accepted the Kan map and had no chance to find the whereabouts of the other Kan map.
It was precisely for this reason that Song Jingfu handed over half of the Kanyu map to him.
Wu Jiang was not interested in the half of the Kan map in his hand.
The main reason is that there is only half a picture, and the specific location has not been found at all.
As for the other half of the Kanyu map, it was originally in Wei Lianyi's hands, but was finally snatched away by a mysterious man behind him, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
If he could save his family's lives with half a map, Wu Jiang would not hesitate at all.
Anyway, even if the opponent gets half of the Kanyu map in his hand, he still won't be able to find the Yuanjing veins recorded on the Kanyu map.
If Hell Gate gets the other half of the map, it can only be said that this is the creation of Hell Gate.
Thinking of this, Wu Jiang no longer hesitated and took out the half of the map from his space ring.
Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw half of the Kan map in Wu Jiang's hand.
When he just heard Wu Jiang say that the remaining half of the Kanyu map was in Song Jingfu's hands, his heart dropped.
If the half of the Kanyu map was really in Song Jingfu's hands, he would have no chance to get it.
The current Song Jingfu can be said to be outrageously powerful.
Not only does he own a piece of Tiandao Jade, but he also owns a stele for the Kowtow of the Underworld Emperor.
Under the Martial Saint, he has almost no opponents!
Naturally, Su Yu would not provoke such a guy.
And once he has the strength to be on par with Song Jingfu, he will probably no longer be interested in this Yuanjing vein.
Because by that time, it was already difficult for Yuan Jing to buy what he wanted.
The only cultivation resources that are truly useful to warriors in that realm are top-grade Yuan Jing.
However, the top-quality Yuanjing does not occupy a large share in a Yuanjing vein. It is obviously unreasonable to make enemies of Song Jingfu for this reason.
Anyway, he has the ability to live forever.
The worst case scenario is that he will grow obscenely and wait for the day when Song Jing Fu Shou Yuan will be cut off.
At that time, you will be able to get the Underworld Emperor Kowtow Tablet and the Heavenly Dao Jade in his hands at the same time.
He had just been thinking about leaving.
He just wanted to deceive Wu Jiang before leaving. If the half of the Kantu map was really not in Wu Jiang's hands, then he would be ready to withdraw and give up the idea of this Yuanjing vein at all.
Who knew that what he said before leaving allowed him to successfully defraud Wu Jiang out of the Kan map.
"This old guy is really cunning."
Su Yu cursed in his heart, and then said with a normal expression: "Five!"
"Four!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Wu Jiang glanced at the Kanyu map in his hand again, and then threw it directly to Su Yu, who caught it.
Su Yu opened the map and took a look at it. After confirming that it matched the half of the map in his hand, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Wu Jiang said slowly: "Even if you get half of the Kanyu map in my hand, without the remaining half of the Kanyu map, you will not be able to find the specific location of the Yuanjing mineral vein."
"As for the other half of the Kantu map, the three of you were hunting the third princess in Tianyao City that day. The third princess was seriously injured. The half of the Kantu map in her hand has been snatched away by a mysterious warrior in the world."
"It's just a waste of your efforts to get the Kanyu map in my hands."
Hehe, this old guy still wants to make some innuendo to find out if I have another half of the Kantu map in my hand?
Su Yu felt secretly happy.
Wu Jiang said this just to deceive himself.
Of course he won't be fooled.
Otherwise, if Wu Jiang spreads this news, he may encounter many obstacles on the way to find the Yuanjing veins.
Su Yu chuckled and said: "Master Wu doesn't need to worry about this. I believe that sooner or later, I will find that guy out."
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wu Jiang couldn't help but feel happy.
This means that the opponent only has half of the Kantu map in his hand.
The other party couldn't find the specific location of the Yuanjing vein, and that was enough.
"Then I wish you good luck." Wu Jiang said lightly.
"Master Wu, we will meet again later."
Su Yu put the Kan map into the space ring, and the other clone disappeared into the night in an instant.
Seeing the movement technique Su Yu left, Wu Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
He remembered that Wei Lianyi had said that the martial artist who snatched her away had a very strange movement and martial arts in his hands that could make him silent.
And weren't the movement and martial arts skills that the two people showed when they left just now exactly what Wei Lianyi said?
Thinking of this, Wu Jiang's face suddenly turned ugly.
If nothing unexpected happened, the other party must have just lied to me.
The other person is most likely the mysterious person who stole Wei Lianyi's map!
And the two people appearing here at the same time, does it mean that the mysterious man who robbed Wei Lianyi chose to cooperate with Hell Gate?
Looking for the Yuanjing veins on the map together?
"Should we inform the Zhenwu Division about this matter?"
Looking at the direction of Su Yu's vitality, Wu Jiang looked a little ugly.
Now that the other party has collected two Kantu maps, they can start looking for the whereabouts of the Yuanjing veins!
But if this matter was really reported to the Zhenwu Division, half of the Kantu maps were handed over by him. His Majesty would definitely be furious if he learned of this matter.
How will you treat him then?
How will he treat his family?
In this case, it is better to hide all this and pretend not to know anything.
"well."
Thinking of this, Wu Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
His family is his weakness, he doesn't dare to gamble!
Su Yu also did not expect that the movement and martial arts skills he used when he left would lead to his identity being exposed when he robbed Wei Lianyi.
But even if it was exposed, Su Yu wouldn't worry.
After all, half of the Kantu map was given to him by Wu Jiang. If it spread to him, he would be the first to bear the brunt.
In other words, Wu Jiang would have to keep this secret for him, and at the same time pray that thousands of years have passed, and the Yuanjing veins on the Kantu map have long been excavated.
When Su Yu's two clones returned to the old house and put the two Kan maps together, the complete terrain and specific location were revealed in front of him.
"I really didn't expect that I would collect these two Kanyu maps in the end."
Su Yu's eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
If this Yuanjing vein had not yet been mined, it would be a very large fortune for him.
He also did not expect that the remaining half of the Kanyu map was really in Wu Jiang's hands.
I almost gave up hope, but I didn't expect that another village would see a bright future.
"Unfortunately, too much time has passed since this map was released. It is not easy to find the approximate location of this Yuanjing vein."
Su Yu was overjoyed and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Although he has collected two Kanyu maps, it is not easy to find the specific location on the Kanyu maps.
After so many years, no one knows what changes have occurred to the landforms recorded on the Kanyu map.
Whenever two strong warriors fight at this location, the Yuanjing vein recorded on the map may need someone else's chance to see the light of day again.
"It would be too high of me to ask me to find it myself."
"The best way is to use the power of Zhenwu Division to spread this map-worthy landform to Jiuzhou Zhenwu Division, circulate it widely, and then see if anyone has seen the approximate location above."
"But if I do this, once the source is traced, it will be traced to me immediately."
Su Yu frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice.
It seems that there is still some distance between getting two Kantu maps and finding the Yuanjing veins on them.
Only by finding the location drawn on the Kanyu map can he find the Yuanjing vein from the specific location depicted on the Kanyu map.
But in the era when the map appeared, the Northern Qi, Wei, and Western Zhou had not yet been established.
Is the location recorded on the map in the Jiuzhou territory of the Wei Dynasty, or in the Northern Qi and Western Zhou Dynasty?
The world is so big that if a person travels on foot, he may not be able to complete a full circle in his previous life.
Although the Kanyu map roughly depicts the mountains, rivers and swamps surrounding the Yuanjing veins, the terrain has already undergone corresponding changes over the years.
If people from the Zhenwu Division could be mobilized to look for it, it might be possible to speed up the process, but Su Yu felt that this was too risky.
If Wei Lianyi discovers any clues about how he took advantage of her illness while she was still alive, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Since the Zhenwusi road is impassable, we can only rely on the business travel team to see if they have the same geographical location in their memory as the mountains, rivers and swamps recorded on the map."
Su Yu's eyes flashed and he murmured in a low voice.
Business travel in this era is mainly about earning a certain amount of price difference.
For example, if this city is short of food, business travelers will buy food at low prices from places rich in food, and then transport it to this food-deficient city to earn the price difference.
Then this city may be rich in demon crystals and furs, which are purchased at low prices and then transported to other cities that lack such commodities to earn the price difference.
It is precisely for this reason that business travelers travel all over the country to make profits.
As the capital of the Wei Dynasty, Tai'an City was the main place for business and travel gatherings.
He could simply draw the mountains, rivers and swamps on the Kanyu map, and then visit these caravans to see if anyone was familiar with the terrain.
At that time, he only needs to rub the terrain on the map, and without describing the specific coordinates of the Yuanjing veins, others will not be able to find the Yuanjing veins.
Of course, he will definitely give a generous bounty. As long as you provide a location similar to the one on the map, you can get his bounty.
If money opens the way, people will naturally take notice.
Thinking of this, Su Yu put the map of Kantu back into the space ring.
He was going to find a painter tomorrow. He would first make a hundred copies of the terrain on the Kan map, and then send someone to visit the caravan group.
The next day.
Su Yu got up early, washed himself, dressed neatly, had breakfast at home, and then walked to Zhenwu Si with Wu Ling.
As soon as he entered the reception hall of Zhenfu Mansion, Su Yu saw Liang Yuxuan with a frown on his face, but at this moment he was already sitting in his own seat.
I have only been working as a town caretaker for a day, why do I feel like I have dark circles under my eyes all of a sudden?
Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seemed like this was not something that ordinary people could do.
He greeted with a normal expression: "Brother Liang, good morning."
"Good morning, brother Su."
Liang Yuxuan said hello absentmindedly and continued to think about countermeasures with a frown.
Seeing Liang Yuxuan's appearance, Su Yu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Liang, have you encountered something difficult? Let me tell you, maybe I can help."
Liang Yuxuan, who was meditating on the side, heard this and said with a wry smile: "Brother Su, this matter is indeed troublesome."
"Do you still remember that some time ago, you went to Tianxuan City to investigate the case of privately manufacturing crossbows, and Master Wei took me, Brother Sun, and Brother He to Kaiyang City to hunt the red-bellied brocade python?"
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm a bit impressed."
"well."
Liang Yuxuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is what gives me a headache."
"The red-bellied brocade python has come out to eat the villagers living in the villages around the Soul-Dead Forest during this period."
"The governor of Kaiyang City wrote again, hoping that the Zhenwu Division would come forward to hunt that beast."
When Su Yu heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This is indeed a difficult question.
The strength of a sixth-level monster is comparable to that of a Yulei realm warrior.
But there is no Hidden Dragon Realm warrior to deal with the sixth-level monster, and the Yu Leap Realm warrior alone cannot kill it if it rushes over.
Especially Liang Yuxuan, who is currently the most powerful person in the Zhenwu Division, is only at the Iron Bone Realm.
If he were to take action, he might be sent to feed that beast.
But if the red-bellied brocade python is allowed to cause trouble, the prefect of Kaiyang City may write a letter to His Majesty. Who will bear the charge of dereliction of duty by the Zhenwu Division?
Su Yudao: "Didn't Master Wei already inform the two commanders Qinglong and Zhuque? Let them kill the beast along the way."
Liang Yuxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wei can at most tell them, and then they will stop by to take a look."
"Let the soul palace level warriors deal with the sixth-level monsters. If word spreads, our Jingzhou Zhenwu Division will be laughed out of the other Eight Prefectures Zhenwu Division."
"Master Wei is also a person with a good face. He is probably too embarrassed to specifically tell the two adults to take care of this matter. He can only casually talk to the two commanders."
"Now that the red-bellied brocade python has come out to cause trouble again, Master Wei has gone to Liangzhou again. What do you think we should do about this matter?"
He also didn't expect that he would encounter such a difficult problem on the second day after temporarily acting as the governor.
If I had known this, I might as well have discussed with Su Yu and rotate each person one day at a time.
I thought that Brother Su was taking care of him specially, but now that he thought about it, Liang Yuxuan couldn't help but regret his own vanity.
If you have this time, shouldn't you practice in secret and try to advance to the Yuyue Realm as soon as possible?
"Brother Su, you have many ideas, please come up with a solution for me."
"When I got the news last night, I didn't sleep well all night. I thought about it, but I really couldn't think of a good solution."
Liang Yuxuan said melancholy: "This urgent matter must be handled properly as soon as possible."
Su Yu heard this, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, this matter is actually simple, but you may not have thought of it."
"oh?"
Liang Yuxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he looked straight at Su Yu and said urgently: "Brother Su, please tell me your idea."
Facing Liang Yuxuan's gaze, Su Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Liang, there is really no way to deal with this sixth-order red-bellied brocade python with our current methods."
"But we can't deal with this red-bellied brocade python. Isn't it a very simple matter for us to deal with the villagers living around the Soul-Dead Forest?"
Liang Yuxuan frowned even deeper when he heard this.
Get rid of the villagers?
Did he kill them all?
Seeing that Liang Yuxuan still didn't understand what he meant, Su Yu smiled bitterly and continued:
"We only need to spend a small amount of money to give each household around the Broken Soul Forest ten taels of silver and invite them to live in the towns around Kaiyang City for two months. This matter will be properly resolved soon."
"If we are worried that it will continue to cause harm to the surrounding villages, we can purchase a few ninth-level monsters to feed it."
His idea mainly focuses on the "drag" tactic. Since he can't figure it out, he should put it aside for the time being and keep out of sight.
Liang Yuxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Su Yu's method.
Wonderful.
This idea is absolutely brilliant.
In this way, Wei Lianyi should be back after two months, right?
Wouldn't it be Wei Lianyi who would have a headache by then?
Besides, there was no way to blame Wei Lianyi when he came back.
After all, he is just an Iron Bone Realm warrior. The strongest combat force in the entire Zhenwu Division has already gone out, and if they try to get together, they will die.
When Wei Lianyi comes back, it will naturally be Wei Lianyi who has to worry about this matter.
"Brother Su, you have a good idea."
Liang Yuxuan's sad face became radiant.
"Somebody come!"
He gave an order below, and immediately a bodyguard walked in quickly.
"grown ups."
The guard cupped his fists and bowed.
Liang Yuxuan explained the idea provided by Su Yu to his personal guard, and motioned him to go to the interrogation room to convey the suggestion to the prefect of Kaiyang City.
At that time, the Zhenwuwei in Kaiyang City will be asked to coordinate the matter.
As for the money to evacuate the surrounding villagers, naturally the prefect of Kaiyang City will pay for it first, and then ask the Zhenwu Division to reimburse the cost.
After the guards took the order and left, Liang Yuxuan's face became relaxed and content again.
This was a huge headache, but it was solved with just a few words.
Liang Yuxuan chuckled and said, "Brother Su, it's all thanks to you this time."
Su Yu smiled and said: "Brother Liang, you are out of touch now. We both serve in the Zhenwu Division, so we should be here to help each other."
"That's right, Brother Su is right, we should just watch and help each other."
Liang Yuxuan smiled and nodded, and then said: "By the way, Brother Su, Tai'an Auction House will hold an auction this afternoon. Are you interested in joining in the fun?"
"oh?"
Su Yu raised his brows and said with a smile: "Are there anything strange that you can bring to the auction today?"
"I'm not sure about this."
Liang Yuxuan shook his head, and then said: "But according to the news from the auction house, there will be very interesting things put up for auction at this auction."
"If Brother Su is interested, we can go there together and join in the fun."
Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "That's alright. Anyway, there's nothing going on, so I might as well go over and join in the fun."
"Okay then, it's settled."
Liang Yuxuan smiled and said: "We will go to the Grand Hyatt Restaurant for lunch first, and then go to the auction house together."
"OK."
Su Yu nodded.
Then the two chatted for a while. After Chen Yang came out, they left the living room and walked towards their own Qianhu Mansion.
