"So, that's why you killed this guy?"
A temporary residence at the gathering place, this is a secret hiding place for Yue Wushuang's spy.
Li Yi looked at Heishan, who was bowing his head silently, and Chen Mo, who was seriously injured, and asked.
Oh, by the way, there is also the leader of the Yanlong Gang, Yanlong, who has turned into a puddle of mud.
Now he is no longer Yanlong. If I have to say it, it would be more appropriate to call him Yanlong porridge.
His murderous sneak attack did not bring him any benefit, but instead sent him directly to hell.
How could Heishan, who claimed to be Li Yi's disciple, avoid such stupid behavior?
Montenegro actually exposed his back on purpose so that the opponent could sneak up on him, and then he would naturally deliver the fatal blow.
Just after thinking about it for a moment, Li Yi understood the whole story.
This was also the main reason why Heishan stood in front of him with his head lowered and remained silent.
Before leaving, Li Yi didn't give too many instructions. They are all adults and must learn to be responsible for their own actions.
He just asked the other party to wait for him where he was and left.
But I never thought that such a bloody plot would happen in just a short time.
Forget it, it’s all nonsense, you didn’t save a girl!
Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but glance at the young man named Chen Mo, thinking that he had the face of the protagonist.
It's a pity that the protagonist lost his life.
Fortunately you met me!
"Master, I just..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Li Yi waved his hand to directly interrupt Heishan's words, then looked at the eyeliner who was standing aside without making any movement, and signaled.
"Just tell me, there are no outsiders here."
Logically speaking, Chen Mo must be an outsider. Although he was seriously injured at this moment, it was not fatal and he did not lose consciousness.
But this owner was obviously someone who didn't care about details. When he heard what Li Yi said, he started introducing him directly. It seemed that he didn't care about the outside administrator named Chen Mo at all.
This greatly frustrated Chen Mo's self-esteem as an administrator, and at the same time he was still unconvinced.
He could feel that any of the people in front of him was much stronger than him.
Apart from anything else, the young man with a smile on his face who seemed to be in control of the current situation gave him an unfathomable feeling.
He had never felt such a bottomless feeling with anyone, not to mention that the other person still looked so young.
He even once thought that the man in front of him had used some magic or secret medicine to maintain his current youthful appearance.
Of course none of this matters now.
What matters is that he felt insulted.
These people clearly knew that he was an outsider, but they had no intention of avoiding him. There could only be two reasons.
One is to regard him as one of his own. This possibility is very small. Even Chen Mo himself thinks that this is only a one in ten thousand possibility.
Apart from anything else, with my strength, I am not even qualified to carry someone's shoes, let alone someone who saved me, how dare I dare to think so.
As for the other possibility...
When he thought of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but change his expression. He wanted to escape, but he knew that he could escape irreversibly.
Not to mention that he was seriously injured at the moment, even if he was in good condition, anyone here was fully capable of catching him back easily.
This made the administrator of the gathering place outside the city couldn't help but look bitter. He swallowed hard and looked at the person who was talking.
"My lord, may I say that I heard nothing?"
Hearing this, the informant who was introducing the situation in Yuanxing City stopped, glanced at him briefly, then looked at Li Yi, who was bowing his head in thought, and continued talking.
md! Ignored again!
Chen Mo couldn't help but feel angry, but there was nothing he could do. This group of people didn't treat him as an equal at all, so naturally they wouldn't waste any time talking to him.
No! No, there are still some.
Chen Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but look at another person in the field.
To be precise, it was this person who saved him, and it was this person who made him experience everything and made him feel what it meant to be indifferent.
At this time, the other party was still talking nonstop.
"This Yuanxing City is completely different from Shayue City. Shayue City does not have so many hierarchies. In addition to being a very young city-state, there is also the fact that the city lord is the first generation. Generally speaking, In the establishment of any city-state, the first generation is the most cohesive, but this does not mean that these city-states that have gone through several generations are not strong."
"None of the city-states that can survive such a situation is fuel-efficient."
Li Yi waved his hand.
"Of course I know this. Please tell me in detail about the distribution of forces in Yuanxing City. Focusing on the key points, the most important thing is the composition of the army. I must have told you what I want to know, Lord Yue City. You might as well tell me. .”
While talking, Li Yi also looked at Yue Wushuang's spy in Yuanxing City.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes that concealed his appearance, the temperament he showed in his every move and every move revealed that this person had a high status in Yuanxing City and was as arrogant and arrogant as the nobles.
This couldn't help but make Li Yi curious about the other party's identity.
Logically speaking, as a spy, you should keep a low profile as possible, but the nature of a spy's work determines that the more you come into contact with high-level people, the easier it is to obtain more valuable information.
The identity of this person will soon be revealed.
"As for Yuanxing City, there are many noble forces, but the largest among them are the Wattu family where the city lord is and another family named Gongfenli. These two families alone cover the entire Yuanxing City. various industries.”
"It's just that in terms of hard power, the Wattu family, whose main strength is in the military, still has a huge advantage, but the Gongfenli family is not far behind. Most of the finance and real estate in Yuanxing City have been taken over. Their home is occupied.”
"The Qiu Siyuan you are talking about is a direct lineage of the Wattu family and a captain of the Xingyuan Army. Only the Xingyuan Army has the authority to go out to perform tasks alone. Others need to go through the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. Only with approval can one enter or exit the city-state.”
"Commander of the city defense army?"
The man's eyes were quick, and he understood the meaning of Li Yi's words as soon as he heard it, and answered immediately.
"It's Du, the commander of the city defense army is a member of the Gonfinli family. Logically speaking, such an important position has always been held by the Wattu family. However, with the recent wars and the shortage of food and fodder for the army, the Gonfinli family seized the opportunity. , used their influence in finance and business to threaten, and finally forced the Wattu family to give up this important position. Only then did they get the Gonfinli family's support for food, grass, and military pay. From this level alone, It can be said that the Wattu family lost this round between the two parties."
Li Yi immediately caught the key words in his words.
"This level?"
"right."
It seemed that because Li Yi could quickly understand the meaning of his words, the Yue Wushuang spy seemed very happy.
"You must know that the Wattu family has almost never lost an important position in Yuanxing city-state, except for one of the previous city lords. And the commander-in-chief of the city defense army can even directly mobilize Yuanxing in wartime, regardless of the city lord's orders. All the troops in Xingcheng, this is exactly in line with the situation at this time..."
"I heard that there is another unit called the Xingyuan Army. Yes, it is the direct unit of the Qiu Siyuan you mentioned. Is he also among them?"
The eyeliner shook his head.
"That's different. This can be regarded as the private army of the Wattu family. Naturally, it is not included in the city defense army system, but..."
"But what?"
"Their logistical supplies are still in the name of the city defense army. In other words, this direct private army of Wattu is actually supported by the Gongfenli family."
Li Yi nodded when he heard this, seemingly not surprised at all.
"Haha, they are helping the other side to raise an army while they themselves are paying for it. How can the Gonfinli family be so selfless?"
"My lord, you are joking. There is no one among the nobles who is not selfish. To put it bluntly, it is just because of the common interests. Otherwise, the Gongfenli family will definitely drain their salary and directly instigate the Xingyuan Army to rebel."
Li Yi looked at the talkative eyeliner and suddenly asked.
"Your identity is the consultant of the Wattu family, right?"
The man was stunned.
"Yes, Master Yue has already..."
"No, no, no, you are not. In fact, you have been bribed by the Gonfinli family a long time ago. As a spy, you serve Yue Wushuang. It doesn't matter which family you lurk in. You naturally You want to get more, and the Wattu family is extremely xenophobic, which means that even though you are a military advisor, you don’t have access to many secrets.”
"As time went by, you gradually figured out the situation in Yuanxing City, and you found that you were marginalized in the Wattu family. This was not only because the other party was xenophobic, but also because the war started and you wanted to protect the interests of the nobles. , you must ensure that all power is in your own hands."
"Under this situation, your identity as a spy became extremely embarrassing. You even thought about just walking away."
"And at this moment, the Gonfinli family came to find you."
Li Yi said while observing the spy's reaction.
I found that the other party was breathing rapidly and seemed very excited.
He smiled.
It seems he was right.
The information from the systematic investigation is really useful.
