"what do you mean?"
Heishan thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"hehe."
Li Yi smiled and didn't say much.
"Wait a minute, this is a melee. What I did was just light a fuse. I don't have the right to decide how to explode."
Heishan nodded in understanding, bowed slightly, and then retreated, leaving only Li Yi sitting alone in the lobby, looking thoughtful.
...
In the next few days, he remained silent as expected, even skipping his daily instructions to Montenegro to inquire about information.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, this wealthy foreigner does not only eat and drink every day, but also indulges in hot spring baths.
During this period of time, Li Yi didn't seem to care about what was happening in the outside world. Except for Heishan, he still insisted on going out every day to collect information and come back to report to him. However, after he scolded him several times, he even skipped the reporting part. .
From then on, in the eyes of everyone, he was like a hermit living in seclusion in the city, without caring about worldly affairs.
"You said that the person you suspected before has done nothing but eat, drink and sleep every day? He doesn't even leave the house?"
"Yes."
"Then is it possible that he sent others out? Since he dares to go against us, he won't do everything himself, right?"
"...There are people, but..."
"But what?"
"But my subordinates always think this is a cover-up."
"What's the meaning?"
George frowned and looked at his men who lowered their heads to report to him.
"The man was over two meters tall. He was very conspicuous at first glance. He didn't look like an informant."
"Oh, you mean this person who blatantly probes for information is just a smoke bomb he puts out?"
"My subordinates believe that no one would really use such a person to gather information, right? Aren't so-called intelligence personnel supposed to be as inconspicuous as possible? What's the difference between this and telling the other party everything?"
George couldn't help but nodded.
"That's right, it's not common sense."
"That......"
"Then let him go. Don't pay attention to the person on the surface. Just keep an eye on the main person for me."
"yes!"
Heishan suddenly felt that there were far fewer eyes staring at him in the dark these days.
This made him instantly feel that the pressure was greatly reduced, and he couldn't help but admire Li Yi more and more.
The owner just made a very casual move, or even did nothing, and there was such an obvious change.
It’s really...amazing!
To be honest, he didn't think his physique would have any additional effect.
To him, everyone is the same, he's just a little bigger.
With this kind of thinking, Heishan would naturally not know that all this had nothing to do with Li Yi. It was entirely caused by himself. Naturally, he would not know the reason why there were fewer peeking eyes. The reason was just because the eyes that were originally focused on him were transferred to Li Yi.
This morning, as usual, he went to see Li Yi first to greet him, but what he received was still loud snoring, and then he went out.
I bought some snacks at the door. I didn't eat them, but wrapped them up and carried them in my arms.
This was the food he prepared to satisfy his hunger when he was stalking at noon.
Heishan is a very strange person. Although he is tall and strong, he actually eats very little at ordinary times. He only eats a full meal occasionally. This time interval is about one month to one and a half months. between.
And his usual food intake is not even as good as a normal person.
For example, when I bought snacks just now, maybe because I saw that he was so big and only bought so little food, out of pity, the snack stall owner gave him an extra steamed bun, his eyes seemed to say something.
Poor guy, he must be starving if he eats anything for such a big man, but he doesn't know that this is the normal amount of food he eats in Montenegro.
Unless it happens on the tooth festival day that happens once every month and a half.
As usual, Heishan first came to the City Lord's Mansion, squatting in the dark like a homeless man, chewing the steamed buns and snacks in his arms, while staring at the people entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion, still thinking about it. Live silently.
"One, two, three...well, five people went in today, and there should be 2,3 people coming out by noon, and there will be 2,3 people going in today."
"It's a pity that my perception is not strong enough. I can only vaguely feel that these people are not weak, but I can't know which level they are at. You need to do it to know, but this is obviously impossible. I really envy the master's ability. ah!"
"You can judge your approximate strength at a glance, and you can even clearly understand your place of birth by touching it. The master is worthy of being a master..."
He just muttered and stared at the City Lord's Mansion as if no one else was around. He had no idea that his every move had been watched by others, and even the words he muttered in a low voice were clearly understood by others.
In fact, the so-called city lord's palace in Yuanxing City is just an empty shell, because this special city-state has no real city lord.
Some are just the actual rule of the Yusan family.
But to the outside world, it is common sense that every city-state needs a city lord's palace, and city residents who don't know the truth will not have doubts because of this trivial matter.
For Yuanxingcheng, whose main income is commodity trade, maintaining stability is what they want to see most.
Of course, this is also based on the premise that Yuanxing City is still under their rule.
Probably even the Yusan family themselves don't know what the scene will be like if this magnificent city is no longer ruled by them one day.
The Yang family, the Ouyang family, the Fulai family, and the three Yuan families in Yuanxing City probably never thought that such a day would come.
After all, they have been operating in this city-state for hundreds of years, and they have experienced many ups and downs in this city-state, but they have not all gotten through it this way.
It was just a trivial market behavior. Although it was unclear what the purpose of the person behind it was, this did not prevent them from completely suppressing this obvious provocative behavior.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Just when Montenegro went to the free trade market as usual, the prices of major commodities that could be seen a few days ago had already begun a daunting roller coaster price fluctuation.
Under this situation, even Heishan, who had just learned a little bit about the product, couldn't help but frown.
Even he noticed something unusual.
From a distance, I saw the key members of the Venetian Merchant Alliance who looked excited the night before.
It's just that now, the faces of these people have completely lost the high-spirited expressions they once had. Each of them looked ashen, their lips were still trembling, and they kept muttering "It's over, it's all over now" and so on. Class words.
At first glance, he looked like he had been severely beaten.
After thinking about it, Heishan did not go up to recognize him. The master had said yesterday that he would not care about what happened after that, and also prohibited him from continuing to explore intelligence.
It's just that Montenegro still can't let go. In addition, he has developed a habit over the past few days and doesn't feel comfortable not going out for a walk.
He didn't expect to find out anything. After all, according to his master, the other party was already on guard.
If he could still find out at this time, it only meant that the other party had deliberately released them.
According to the owner, this is actually just for peace of mind and does not have any good effect.
Heishan thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
But he is a stubborn person, otherwise he would not rather sell himself as a slave, and he could not let go of his obsession with revenge. He ran from the distant North District to the South District, met his master, and then became a slave again because of him. Return to the North District.
While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Look, someone from the Foley family is here!"
This roar was like a stimulant. Most people's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they gathered towards the location of the shout.
The only differences present were the backbones of the Venice Business Alliance and Montenegro.
The merchants in the West District, who originally looked like they had seen the end of the world, upon hearing these words, looked like a dead mother. They were completely lifeless. They looked like lambs about to be slaughtered, and almost rushed forward to beg for mercy. .
