"Chen Zixuan!"
Li Yi clicked heavily on the blackboard in front of him. That was the conclusion he came to after summarizing some clues he found through his contacts in the past few days and the system's super intelligence capabilities.
This person is the mastermind of the Shale City incident.
A few days ago, before the caravan arrived at Shayue City, Li Yi sent someone to Shayue City to understand the situation.
The candidate he originally thought of was Montenegro, but after thinking about it again, such a big man was too eye-catching, so he wanted to give up the idea and send others to go.
But after hearing the news, Heishan took the initiative to ask for help, saying that he wanted to temper himself and apply what he had learned from Li Yi during this period.
This made Li Yi a little confused.
What did you learn from me?
Besides eating and sleeping, what else have I done these days?
Although he was a little confused, since Heishan took the initiative to request, he was too lazy to care so much.
In his opinion, it wasn't a big deal in the first place. It was just a mentality of joining in the fun. If you are a big guy, just be a big guy.
It's okay to go exercise.
One day later, Heishan returned to the caravan, found Li Yi, and reported everything he had investigated, including the caravan manager Chen Da.
It was only then that Li Yi realized how deeply Chen Zheng was colluding with the magician.
He is simply one of them!
He is even a genius with both magic and genes!
It's no wonder that Chen Zheng was able to thrive while hiding his identity as a magician.
This is before he reveals his strength as a genetic warrior. If he is willing to do this, he may become more than just a caravan leader.
In other words, he is actually still very afraid that his identity as a magician will be exposed.
You must know that if you use your identity as a gene warrior to infiltrate the officialdom, it will naturally mean a bright future, but at the same time, the people you come into contact with are also much more complicated, and there are many people who can see through the secrets of the alien magician.
This is probably Chen Zheng's biggest worry, and the biggest reason why he would rather be a businessman than enter politics.
He is still a "remnant" of the old world.
In addition to learning Chen Zheng's true identity, the biggest gain was the magician named Chen Zixuan.
"This person is very important. According to the intelligence, this person named Chen Zixuan is an extremely calm and abnormal person. He is good at using strategies to act. His specific strength is unknown, but he can lead such a large group of powerful magicians. He must be the same. He has two brushes and is an extraordinary person. If the leader is just an ordinary person, no matter how resourceful he is, he may not be able to convince the public."
Li Yi stared at the blackboard in front of him for analysis and nodded, seemingly confirming his statement.
"I do not quite understand."
As soon as he heard this voice, Li Yi felt a chill in his heart. He felt bad, but he couldn't show it on the surface. He had to turn around slowly, squeeze out a forced smile, and look at the tall man.
Montenegro, he is imitating the thinking action that Li Yi often makes - holding his chin in his hand as if thinking.
Originally, this was nothing, but his huge body made this move look very funny, making people laugh.
Li Yi suppressed his hilarious emotions and forced himself to put on a serious expression.
"Heishan, I think you are not suitable to think about these things now. All you have to do is to find a way back, and then take out the ritual of awakening your bloodline. This is the real purpose of our coming to the North District. "
Heishan didn't speak. He looked no different from when he first met Li Yi, but in fact, only he knew.
Today, he is no longer the stupid guy in everyone's eyes!
He is no longer the incarnation of revenge who only thinks about revenge and is willing to sacrifice everything for revenge, including his own life.
He learned to think.
He began to wonder why.
Why would such a remote village like his own lead to disaster?
Was that massacre of the village an unintentional act, or was it related to him?
In other words, it has something to do with the blood in my body...
So now, when Heishan thinks about the secret of his bloodline, he can't help but feel excited. He wants to go back to the village immediately, dig out the ritual he buried, and awaken the power of his bloodline.
But he knew very well that now was not the time.
Thinking of this, Heishan took a serious look at his master.
"Master, I think there is something wrong with this Chen Zixuan!"
Li Yi glanced at Heishan in surprise, and suddenly became interested.
"Oh? Then tell me, what's wrong with him?"
Li Yi has always been able to negotiate with the system. In his opinion, this may be one of the reasons why he has unintentionally trained and learned the system to become smarter and smarter.
But there was nothing he could do, even though he had been accompanied more or less by some companions.
But most of the time, no one can keep up with his ideas, and only the thinking ability brought by the high computing power of the system can barely meet the needs.
Now that Heishan took the initiative and got to the point immediately, he naturally didn't mind letting the other party talk about it.
Besides, the information about Chen Zheng and Chen Zixuan was originally obtained by Montenegro, and now he is analyzing it by himself based on the information he obtained, so there is no problem.
So Li Yi simply sat down and stared at Heishan, who was bowing his head in thought.
The meaning couldn't be more clear.
Let's see you perform.
At this time, Heishan did not speak directly. Instead, he stared at the analysis on the blackboard for a long time, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"I can first tell you the information I have investigated about Chen Zixuan. Master, you should understand what I mean."
"Tell me."
Li Yi stretched out and assumed a lazy posture, staring at Heishan as if he was testing his disciple's learning achievements.
This gave him great encouragement.
"When you sent me to arrive at Shale City first, it only took me one day to investigate a lot of information. But when the convoy arrived at Shale City, all the conditions I saw at the beginning disappeared. That’s weird, isn’t it?”
Li Yi nodded in approval.
"That's right, I discovered this when you reported it to me. Logically speaking, since these magicians only want to make a big move in Shale City, there is no reason for them to disappear when they arrive. Yes, of course, this is easy to explain, it means that their plan has been arranged, and all that is left is to wait for the opportunity.”
Having said this, Li Yi looked at Heishan with a half-smile.
"And this timing is the moment when the convoy arrives in the city and Chen Zheng transports the batch of military supplies to the city. Only then will Chen Zixuan and the others think that the bait has been thrown away."
Heishan did not express any objection to Li Yi's remarks, and he had already thought of this.
Nodding, Montenegro continued.
"Well, that's why the night when the convoy first arrived in the city was unusually calm. Except for Chen Zheng's old comrade who was an unexpected incident, everything was in line with common sense."
"Is it common sense?"
Hearing this, Li Yi interrupted.
"A mere group of merchants arrived, and the acting city lord sent his men to receive them at the gate of the city. This doesn't seem to be consistent with common sense, right?"
Heishan naturally knew the meaning of what Li Yi said.
You must know that on the Imperial Road, no matter which district you are in, the status of merchants is very low.
They were not even as high as the military households who provided food for the army during the war. Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, businessmen were profit-seeking guys. With his magnanimity, it was enough to allow these businessmen to trade unhindered. This is the greatest mercy.
Of course there will be no status or anything like that.
Therefore, even though the merchants are very rich and their clothes are not inferior to those of the aristocrats, in fact, when they see the aristocrats, they do not even dare to raise their heads too high for fear of accidentally offending the aristocrats with a word and causing trouble. Disaster is coming.
That is to say, only people like Chen Zheng, who possess special skills and are genetic warriors themselves, but are unwilling to be exposed, will have more confidence to speak.
Although he didn't reveal anything, this confidence came from his own strength, and many people who had been in contact with him mistakenly thought that this confidence came from the backers behind him.
It is precisely because of this that the Chen family's business has grown bigger and bigger under the leadership of Chen Zheng.
But if the acting city lord Yue Xianwu didn't know Chen Zheng's background, then he would be underestimating the strength of this desert city.
Even though Yue Xianwu is just a young man in his early twenties, under the powerful background, the strength behind him is not something that a mere businessman can understand.
In other words, even if Chen Zhengzhen has any background, it will be clearly investigated by Yue Xianwu the moment he enters Shale City.
What's more, before this, a lot of eyes had been placed in the Chen family's caravan, watching Chen Zheng's every move all the time.
Then the problem arises.
As Li Yi said.
Now that he knows, why is the acting city lord so concerned about this caravan?
Is it because you knew something in advance?
