Chapter 548
Xiao Zhan fell into thinking.
It can be inferred from these letters that Mo Zhongsheng rushed to the target location and planned to escort the world core back to the Moyun world with others.
According to Mo Hongmei, something happened midway and a traitor stole the world core, causing the mission to fail.
After the mission failed, it stands to reason that Mo Zhongsheng and others should continue to investigate the whereabouts of the world core.
So, could that traitor be Zhao Si?
If it is Zhao Si, where is Zhao Si now?
It seems that if you want to know the whereabouts of Zhao Si, you have to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhan walked out of the secret room, looked at the two middle-aged people and said:
"Don't tell anyone about my appearance here. Even if someone from the City Lord's Mansion asks, you must say you don't know."
"Otherwise, you will definitely die."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan released the blockade on the two people's power, then walked out of the room, went to the third floor, and sat down at the table.
On the table, six jars of fine wine have been placed, as well as six dishes of appetizers.
Mo Hongmei took the initiative and asked:
"Did you find any clues?"
Xiao Zhan nodded.
Mo Hongmei asked: "What clue is it?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "You tell me the clues you know, and I will tell you the clues I found."
Mo Hongmei was silent for a few seconds, then lowered her voice and said:
"My father said that according to his investigation, the people who betrayed my grandfather and the others should be related to the Dilan organization."
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed:
"In other words, is it possible that the world's core is in the hands of the Dilan Organization?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head in the next moment, "The core of the world is not in the hands of the Dilan Organization."
Mo Hongmei frowned: "How did you know you weren't there?"
Xiao Zhan didn't answer.
If the world's core is in the hands of the Dilan Organization, then Jiang Boya will definitely know.
Xiao Zhan originally asked Jiang Boya if he had ever seen the World Core.
Jiang Boya said no.
Xiao Zhan believed that Jiang Boya would not lie.
Mo Hongmei continued:
"There's another clue."
"The previous Realm Master of our Moyun World was already at the end of his strength when he came to the Tianlan World. After handing over the core of the world to my grandfather and the others, he fell. I know the place of his death."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"I found out about a man named Zhao Si. He might be the one who betrayed your grandfather and the others."
"This Zhao Si infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion. He was a captain of the City Lord's Mansion and had close contacts with your grandfather."
While speaking, Xiao Zhan stood up directly:
"You guys wait for me here. If anything goes wrong, leave immediately."
"I also want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate Zhao Si's files."
After saying that, Xiao Zhan walked directly downstairs.
Several drinkers glanced at Xiao Zhan without leaving a trace, then stood up and left.
These people have been coming to Juyuan Restaurant since yesterday. Deng Xiaozhuang and Liu Yongjun saw them coming with their own eyes.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan naturally knew that they were from the City Lord's Mansion.
But Xiao Zhan didn't care about them. He sneaked all the way and soon sneaked into the city lord's mansion again.
Only this time, when Xiao Zhan sneaked into the database to search for information about Zhao Si, he found that the city lord Jia Shengqiang was already waiting for him.
Jia Shengqiang sat on a chair, waved his hand and lit the candlestick, then looked at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly and said slowly:
"Mr. Xiao, you first sneaked into the archives, and now you enter the information room. What is your purpose?"
Xiao Zhan looked calm, "City Lord Jia, I believe you have some guesses as to what my purpose is."
"I just want to find out how Mo Zhongsheng died."
Jia Shengqiang chuckled lightly
Voice:
"What is the relationship between Mo Zhongsheng and you?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
Jia Shengqiang laughed again.
"Mo Zhongsheng is from the Moyun world. He is hiding in our Tianlan world. He deserves to die."
"Is it possible that Young Master Xiao is also from the Moyun World? If that's the case, Young Master Xiao, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing that Xiao Zhan remained silent, Jia Shengqiang said again:
"According to rumors, when Mo Zhongsheng died, it was indeed not a simple murder for money, but a fight for a treasure."
"I'm also very curious about what that treasure is that makes people in Moyun World fight against each other."
"In addition, the recent battle between Moyu World and our Tianlan World is all because of a treasure."
"I have reason to suspect that Mo Zhongsheng died fighting for that treasure."
"Master Xiao, you are also here for that treasure, right?"
Xiao Zhan did not deny it, but asked straight to the point:
"Does Lord Jia know about Zhao Si?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Jia Shengqiang's eyes, "Zhao Si was once a captain in the City Lord's Mansion. Later, while performing a mission, he encountered people from the Moyun World and died."
"That's what is recorded in his file, but it was all over 180 years ago. I have no way to verify whether it is true or false."
"Why, from what Mr. Xiao said, Zhao Si also had something to do with Mo Zhongsheng's death?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, stared into Jia Shengqiang's eyes, and said slowly:
"Zhao Si is also from Moyun World. It is very likely that Zhao Si took away the treasure in the first place."
After hearing this, Jia Shengqiang was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.
But Xiao Zhan saw a strange look in Jia Shengqiang's eyes.
"City Lord Jia, why are you laughing?"
"Do you have any evidence to prove that Zhao Si is not from the Moyun world and did not steal the treasure?"
Jia Shengqiang shook his head: "I have no evidence."
"But Zhao Si is dead, where can you find him?"
Xiao Zhan stared into Jia Shengqiang's eyes and suddenly smiled.
"Actually, I knew before I came that City Lord Jia would be waiting for me here."
"To be honest, I found a lot of letters at Juyuan Restaurant, and among them, there was one thing that I found very interesting."
"Mo Zhongsheng once wrote to Zhao Si to congratulate him on having a son."
"If Zhao Si died, there should be records about his son, but there are no relevant records in the City Lord's Mansion."...
"City Lord Jia, what do you think is going on?"
Jia Shengqiang chuckled: "I have only been in Fengshan City for more than fifty years, how could I know what happened back then?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"Zhao Si mentioned in those letters that he sent his son to a far away place for his wife to raise."
"At that time, the treasure had not yet appeared. Zhao Si and Mo Zhongsheng had a good relationship and should not lie."
Jia Shengqiang raised his eyebrows: "So, Mr. Xiao has found out the news about Zhao Si's son?"
Xiao Zhan looked at Jia Shengqiang and said slowly:
"City Lord Jia, do you know where you exposed your flaw?"
"You're too impatient."
"There are very few people who know about the treasure. Even the Realm Master of Tianlan World has only known about it not long ago."
"And you have been investigating Mo Zhongsheng's affairs."
"You should be the son Zhao Si left behind, right?"
Jia Shengqiang clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Young Master Xiao is really good."
"When you guys came here yesterday, I could see that Mu Wanqing is not the protagonist, you are."
"But even if you guess my identity, what can you do?"
"In this Fengshan City, I want to kill you, but no one can stop me."
Xiao Zhan stared into Jia Shengqiang's eyes and asked straight to the point:
"The core of the world should have been in your father's hands at the beginning. What happened after that?"
Jia Shengqiang said truthfully:
"My father did hide with the world core back then."
"But later, someone snatched the world core from his hands and beat my father seriously."
"That person is Mo Zhongsheng."
"It's a pity that Mo Zhongsheng missed my father and didn't kill him because he thought he would return from his lost ways."
"But since my father has betrayed him and will face death if he turns back, how can he give up?"
"So, my father led his men to kill Mo Zhongsheng, but the world core was not found."
Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed:
"In other words, the world core may have been snatched away, or it may have been hidden by Mo Zhongsheng?"
Jia Shengqiang nodded, with a hint of sternness in his eyes:
"You are very courageous and smart. If you help me, I guarantee that you will have a bright future!"
"If you don't want to, you will never be able to leave Fengshan City!"
Xiao Zhan fell into deep thought and ignored Jia Shengqiang's words.
Jia Shengqiang's expression turned even colder:
"Answer me, do you want to die or live?"
Xiao Zhan then raised his eyes and looked at Jia Shengqiang:
"You can't make a difference."
"Because you are too arrogant."
"What makes you think that with your strength at the sixth level of the Star Glory Realm, you can take me back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura on Xiao Zhan's body increased steadily, and soon surpassed Jia Shengqiang.
Jia Shengqiang was stunned for a moment, and the next moment a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand.
Xiao Zhan ignored this scene, turned around and walked outside.
Jia Shengqiang was stunned for a moment, and then felt extremely humiliated.
He was the majestic Lord of Fengshan City, a master of the sixth level of Star Glory Realm, but he was actually ignored!
But he didn't dare to stop Xiao Zhan.
Although Xiao Zhan only showed a little momentum just now, Jia Shengqiang understood that he was definitely no match for Xiao Zhan.
At this moment, he was extremely upset.
Just like Xiao Zhan said, he was too impatient, otherwise he would not be waiting for Xiao Zhan here, let alone reveal his identity.
After Xiao Zhan left the City Lord's Mansion, he returned directly to Juyuan Restaurant.
The whereabouts of the treasure has become a mystery for the time being.
There is a high probability that the treasure is hidden by Mo Zhongsheng.
After suffering Zhao Si's betrayal, his trust in those companions should have been greatly reduced. He would not dare to hand over the treasure to others easily, and would most likely hide it.
So, where is he most likely to hide his treasure?
After meeting with Ye Wei and others, Xiao Zhan and others left Fengshan City directly in order to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Zhan's destination is very clear, which is to go to the place where Ren Realm Master died in Moyun World.
Mo Hongmei gave Xiao Zhan a map with specific locations clearly marked on it.
What surprised Xiao Zhan was that this location was located in Qingyun Domain.
After Liu Yongjun saw it, he was even more confused:
"This place is less than two thousand miles away from Qingyun City. I have been there many times."
Xiao Zhan stopped talking nonsense and let Liu Yongjun lead the way.
Seeing that he was about to return to his territory, Liu Yongjun seemed very excited and kept saying that he would entertain Xiao Zhan and the others well.
Xiao Zhan reminded:
"You should still be in Moyun World now. If anyone knows that you escaped back quietly, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Liu Yongjun suddenly stopped talking.
A few days later, Liu Yongjun led several people into Qingyun Domain and arrived at their destination.
This is a place called Marriage Valley, which is a branch of Qingyun River. Because of its beautiful scenery and breathtaking scenery,
It attracts a large number of young men and women to visit here.
Over time, this became a place where young men and women got to know each other.
Later, the reputation of this place became more and more popular, and handsome men and beautiful women, sons of aristocratic families, and daughters of wealthy families often came here.
This is somewhat similar to the internet celebrity check-in place in Kyushu World. Many people come here to show off their beauty in the name of fun.
Liu Yongjun, as the former No. 1 dude in Qingyun Territory, was naturally a frequent visitor here.
Only this time, Liu Yongjun put on a mask.
Because as soon as he shows up, many people will definitely recognize him.
