That's right, the hook-nosed man in front of him was the leader of the entire intelligence department under Emperor Xiang Guang. His status was even higher than that of Zhen Xu, the leader who was only in charge of the three counties in the Eastern Region.
At this moment, listening to Xiang Guang's angry scolding, the hook-nosed man's heart trembled slightly.
He knew that as the leader in handling secret intelligence, he knew too many things that he shouldn't know. If he was laid off, the outcome would be extremely tragic.
So he immediately bowed and respectfully explained: "Your Majesty, according to the information we have investigated, Zhen Xu has already been put on the list of gold medal missions by Skynet. And this time he was assassinated, and various clues also point to Skynet. Organization! We... picked up fragments of the silver mask at the scene."
"So you want to say... the one who killed Zhen Xu was just a silver medal killer!?" Xiang Guang became even more angry when he heard this, "Trash! I know Zhen Xu's strength best! A mere silver medal killer can kill him!" ? Fart! Besides, he was accompanied by two innate masters, brother and sister Nalan! They are also dead! How could this be the work of the Silver Medal Killer!? Do you think I am so easy to fool!? "
After saying that, Xiang Guang stared at the hook-nosed man fiercely, as if he was going to eat him alive if he didn't give a reasonable explanation.
The hook-nosed man smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't believe the truth, so he could only continue: "Your Majesty is wise! Zhen Xu is extremely powerful, even his subordinates are far behind, so I think like the Emperor. He is just a silver medal killer. It is definitely impossible to kill Zhen Xu and the Nalan brothers and sisters. But... what if it is not just the silver medal killer who is assassinated this time?"
"You mean..." Xiang Guang pondered for a long time after hearing this, and said, "It is rare that the Skynet organization sent out several killers to attack Zhen Xu and the others this time? This silver medal killer is probably just one of the weaker ones. Is that why the mask was broken?"
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that Xiang Guang followed his words, the hook-nosed man quickly said: "This is a possibility for humble speculation, but... there is another possibility."
This first one may have been brought out specially by him so that Xiang Guang could guess it.
After all, he knew best how to flatter someone like Xiang Guang, as he followed him.
An arrogant, conceited, incompetent fool like this likes to be smart, and you have to make him think he is awesome to be happy.
But this won't work at all, because if this guy can really guess all the possibilities, then there is no point in keeping him alone, so there must be a second possibility.
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Xiang Guang's expression softened a lot when he heard this, and he asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, another possibility is that Zhendong King Qin De!" The hook-nosed man's eyes were deep.
He knew that what Xiang Guang feared the most at the moment was Qin De, the king of Zhendong, so no matter what happened, it was always right to throw dirty water on Qin De.
"Zhen Xu's investigation in the three counties of the Eastern Region hindered him, and you also know this. Therefore, I guess that this assassination may not have been done by Skynet, but that Qin De sent a top expert to kill Zhen Xu. As for that The silver mask fragments may just be used by King Zhendong to confuse us."
"But is Qin De really that stupid?" Xiang Guang frowned slightly and asked, "Only the silver mask fragments were left behind. If it were me, why should I leave the golden mask fragments to be more convincing, right? "
"This... I'm not sure about my humble position." The hook-nosed man shook his head slightly. "My humble position is stupid. Maybe your guess is more likely, Your Majesty? Maybe someone really spent a lot of money this time to ask Skynet to make an unprecedented move. They sent multiple killers to assassinate Zhen Xu at the same time. Uh... wait... Your Majesty, do you think it's possible that the Skynet killer was hired by Zhendong King Qin De?!"
"Yeah! That makes sense!" Xiang Guang's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this. He seems to agree with this explanation.
The hook-nosed man was slightly relieved when he saw this.
Although he felt a little sorry for Zhendong King Qin De, in order to save his life, he could only pour dirty water on Qin De.
However, he did not expect that his guess would be self-defeating and he would be mostly correct.
Zhen Xu's death really had a lot to do with Qin De.
"Okay, okay!"
Xiang Guang was so angry that he said three good words in a row, each one of which was mixed with endless anger.
"You Qin De, how dare you kill Zhen Xu! You really don't hide your rebellious intentions at all!?"
Zhen Xu has been with him for many years and is his most trusted spy. He is also very capable and is extremely important to him.
The reason why he has been able to sit back and relax for so many years is because Zhen Xu has mastered many aspects of intelligence for him, and he can find out whoever wants to rebel.
Under normal circumstances, even if someone has the intention of treason, as long as Zhen Xu is sent to investigate, they will restrain themselves.
But now Qin De dares to send people to assassinate Zhen Xu. This clearly shows that he is determined to rebel!
"Qin De! I won't be able to feel at ease if I don't destroy your Qin family!" Xiang Guang said as the look in his eyes became more and more fierce.
Click——
He crushed the tea cup in his hand and ordered in a cold voice to the hook-nosed man beside him: "Let Yi Yan come to me. You go back first."
"I obey my humble duty!"
The hook-nosed man felt completely relaxed. It seemed that his life was saved this time.
At this moment, Xiang Guang directed his anger and spearhead at Qin De, the king of Zhendong, and had no intention of venting his anger on him.
Shortly after the hook-nosed man bowed and left, there was another set of footsteps outside the door.
"Yi Yan, come in." Xiang Guang ordered directly, knowing that the person he wanted to see was coming.
After hearing the order, people outside quickly pushed the door open and entered.
I saw that this was a man who could tell that he was extremely evil just by his appearance. He was exactly the Yi Yan that Xiang Guang was talking about. He was the leader of Xiang Guang's secret force, the "Balong Army", which was specially designed to eliminate hidden dangers. If Zhen Zhen Xu is a scout spying for Xiang Guang, so Yi Yan, who commands the Tyrannosaurus Army, is the sharpest dagger in his hand, a dagger hidden in the dark.
Although Yi Yan looks very young, he is actually nearly forty years old. Because he has good talent and cultivated to the innate realm earlier, his appearance has always been fixed in his youth. After all, the average innate master is five hundred years old. He has a long lifespan and ages extremely slowly. At his current age, he will not become an old man.
"Your Majesty." After entering the room, Yi Yan said respectfully to Xiang Guang. He didn't quite understand what Xiang Guang was going to do when he came to him so late.
After Xiang Guang called Yi Yan into the room, he did not directly state his purpose. Instead, he paced around irritably, as if thinking about something.
He thought and thought, finally gritted his teeth, seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said to Yi Yan: "Okay, it's decided. You, tell Zhu San that I agree to his request. But that monster saber-toothed tiger All the materials on my body must belong to me, especially those sixteen spikes, one must not be missing!"
Yi Yan raised his eyebrows, finally understanding what the emperor was looking for.
I originally thought it was to deal with the Zhendong King Qin De, but it turned out that I decided to agree to Zhu San's request.
The material on the monster saber-toothed tiger was very important to the emperor, but Zhu San was the first to capture it.
This Zhu San is known as the richest man in the Qianlong Continent. His home base is in the Ming Dynasty. His business is spread throughout the Qianlong Continent and his potential power is extremely large.
As a businessman, he is naturally extremely cunning in his pursuit of profit. It is not that easy to get something from Zhu San. The exchange conditions proposed by Zhu San are quite greedy. The emperor was originally unwilling to agree, and he did not know what was going on tonight. , and suddenly he was ready to agree again.
Yi Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise. Then Zhu San has promised that as long as he gets a piece of the Babel Map, he will offer up the entire body of the monster saber-toothed tiger with both hands."
"That's good." Xiang Guang sneered, "I hope Zhu San doesn't dare to play tricks with me."
He was indeed unwilling to use the Babel Map in exchange for monster materials, but now the situation is different. Zhen Xu was killed, and the Babel Map in Zhen Xu's hands was naturally gone.
He looked at the two pieces of the Babel Map in his hand, but couldn't see any clues. He probably had to gather the legendary three pieces to get any clues, so there were only two pieces.
If you keep the piece on yourself, it will have no effect, so what's the harm in giving it to Zhu San?
Using it to exchange for needed monster materials and improve your strength is the most practical thing at the moment.
The monster saber-toothed tiger looks like a huge tiger, with sixteen long sword-like spikes on its back, all of which are extremely sharp and as powerful as an advanced fairy weapon. The claws of the saber-toothed tiger can be refined into weapons.
Hunted a saber-toothed tiger. That is equivalent to digging up a treasure.
However, in fact, the strength of this saber-toothed tiger is very powerful, and ordinary masters cannot match it. Perhaps only the immortal can hunt it. Originally, Xiang Guang planned to ask the immortal worshiped by the Xiang family to help, but who knew that Zhu What method did San use to capture him first?
"But your Majesty..." As if he had thought of something, Yi Yan bowed and reminded, "The saber-toothed tiger that Zhu San hunted in the ancient times should still be in a secret stronghold in a city near the ancient times. Such a large They couldn't transport the monsters to us openly. They could only divide them up in the city and then send them over in batches. However... on the way, they would definitely approach the three counties of the Eastern Region where Qin De was located. What should we do? Is it good?"
Hearing this, Xiang Guang also frowned and felt a little headache: "Qin De, Qin De! It's you Qin De again! What a good Qin De!"
Boundless Wilderness is in the far east of the mainland, and the Chu Dynasty's area close to Boundless Wilderness is the three eastern counties controlled by Qin De. If you want to transport things from the Boundless Wilderness, it is impossible to escape Qin De's eyes.
In the past, Qin De did not dare to rob openly, but now the situation is hard to say.
The more Xiang Guang thought about it, the more headache he got.
Finally, he gave a serious order to Yi Yan: "Yi Yan, pass on the order. Immediately ask your father, Elder Yu, to personally lead a team of experts to the three counties of the Eastern Region to trade with them. Only if he personally takes action can I feel at ease!"
Yi Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and said respectfully, "Yes, with father taking action, nothing will go wrong."
The reason why he reminded this matter was of course because he wanted to take some credit for his family.
The 'Balong Army' he controls is a secret force under Xiang Guang. As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, and the opposite is true.
His father, Yi Yu, commanded Xiang Guangming's army.
After everything was arranged, Xiang Guang laughed: "Haha, this is just the second Tongtian Diagram. If you don't collect all three Tongtian Diagrams, you won't be able to see the ethereal mysterious power in it. Who knows whether it really exists?" Dharma? Moreover, many geniuses and even cultivators in history have obtained three pieces of the Babel Map. When all three pieces were collected, no one understood the mystery. Come to think of it, I may not be so lucky, using a useless piece of Babel Map. Picture, it’s worth it in exchange for such precious monster material.”
Yi Yan flattered him and said, "Your Majesty is wise. I think only a fool like Zhu San would collect treasures because of his hobby. A stupid person would spend such a valuable thing in exchange for a useless piece."
"That's right." Xiang Guang nodded slightly, and then became serious again, "You also know the importance of this saber-toothed tiger. With him, he can forge many high-level weapons of immortal quality. Remember to tell your father that you must be careful. I’ll bring some innate masters with me.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Father and I will definitely not disappoint the Emperor if we take action." Yi Yan became serious when Xiang Guang reminded him again.
He also knew the current situation. Qin De, the king of Zhendong, was probably determined to rebel. Xiang Guang would never allow this monster material to slip up and made Qin De a wedding dress.
Although successfully transporting the monster saber-tooth tiger back is a great achievement, if it fails, the consequences will be serious.
"That's very good."
Seeing how serious Yi Yan was, Xiang Guang suddenly felt relieved after thinking about Yi Yan's father, the elder.
············
the other side.
In a small courtyard in a remote town in the three counties of the Eastern Region, Qin Yu sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then dispersing it to his limbs and bones to speed up his body's recovery.
This is where Qin Yu lives as an ordinary person.
Another mansion secretly purchased under a false identity. He has been a killer for so long and has many targets for assassination, so naturally he earns a lot of bounties.
Therefore, in addition to doing good deeds within his power, in order to facilitate movement, real estate was purchased in many cities within the three counties of the Eastern Region.
He suffered some injuries in this assassination and needed a place to recuperate, so this place was naturally used.
Moreover, he still needs to spend some time to study the legendary Babel Map he obtained.
In the story told by Uncle Tingfeng, the legendary master who left the Tongtian Diagram is so powerful that it is unbelievable, and it is very likely that the master’s way of cultivation is not to cultivate the Nascent Soul with the Golden Pill. If all this is true, This Tongtian Diagram really contains the skills that the master practiced back then, and they might be useful to him!
