"Pay attention to the instructions. Protection has been strengthened recently. No matter whether you are stationed or traveling, you must not be careless. Especially you, you must pay attention to safety." Yang Shu understood that the "big test" had to be accelerated because of Jianchuan's victory. According to past examples, once someone loses his temper, instead of throwing a fist, he will be handed a knife.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will add more guards, and your side is even more important. Once someone has murderous intentions, you may be the first to bear the brunt."
Yang Shu closed the Jianchuan battle report and put it on the table, sat back down, and said: "The masters Yueying Tower helped me contact are now in the room next to mine, and they will follow me all day long. Unless they are from the Xuanhai realm. Monk, otherwise one of us will die."
Different from Yang Shu's confidence, the mastermind in front of him was a little hesitant. Hearing that there were those five people next door, the conspirator thought for a while, took out a magic disk and activated it with a spiritual stone, then covered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, I think those five people can't be trusted, so I'd better recruit more people. That’s appropriate.”
Yang Shu did not stop him from plotting to use the formation to cover up. This cautious look did not offend anyone. On the contrary, Yang Shu felt that this was how the other party considered everything carefully.
"Oh? I can't believe it? Can't you trust those people or you can't trust Ji Ji from Yueying Tower? Or have you discovered some clues?" Yang Shu always gave his subordinates a chance to speak. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong, but you can't say it nonsense. And the conspirator in front of him has always been trusted by him. Now he suddenly spoke so cautiously, and he wanted to hear the reason.
“My lord, my subordinates cannot trust the Yueying Tower, nor can they trust the City of Wasted Death.
Yueying Tower was desperate and almost destroyed before seeking refuge with the prince. Over the years, it has grown rapidly under the wings of the prince, and it is said that it has the momentum to return to its former glory. But ever since they hooked up with the people from the City of Wasted Death, they have obviously started to speak bluntly, have careful thoughts in everything, and have many requirements for doing things, and the asking price is getting higher and higher, which means they have full wings and don't want to be inferior.
The subordinates felt something was wrong about the Song family's affairs before. Those batches of pan-spiritual stones were obviously framed by others. Those losers in the Yamen may really not be found out, but how come Yueying Tower’s ability has not been found out at all for so long? Unless they don't want to investigate, or don't want us to know the truth. "
Yang Shu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "You mean Yueying Tower may have had different intentions?"
"I don't have any evidence, but I am worried about this. In addition, the reputation of Waishi City is really bad. I learned a lot about Waishi City through the Tianyi Chamber of Commerce over there in "Knife". But there are no rules, cheating, kidnapping, and cheating are commonplace, especially the Nine Lives Master, who is really not a kind person, and is extremely mysterious, so please be careful, Your Majesty."
Yang Shu was holding the imperial merchant "tea" in his hand. Naturally, he was relatively familiar with the other four imperial merchants and had contacts with each other. But all contact is discreet.
One of the businesses of "Knife" is water transportation and shipbuilding. Fifty percent of the ships sailing on the water in the Jingjiu Dynasty were made by "Dao".
The Tianyi store launched by "Knife" controls the flow of water on the weak water. And 70% of the daily supplies in Fusi City are transported in by Tianyi Company.
Therefore, if you want to ask about the situation in Wusi City, it is most appropriate and trustworthy to ask Tianyi Company.
Seeing that Yang Shu frowned and said nothing, the guest continued: "Your Majesty, according to the information I got, the Nine Lives Master is very special in Waishi City. He rarely shows up on weekdays, and he is always protected by the powerful forces in Waishi City. He My disciples are regular customers of slave dealers in the City of Fusi, and they buy more than a dozen children almost every month, over and over again. My subordinates thought that they might not be...or ordinary monks."
Not an ordinary monk?
When Yang Shu heard this, his brows naturally wrinkled deeper and deeper. He could hear the meaning behind his mastermind's words.
Unusual, that’s special. Is there anything special about Monk? Sword cultivation, body cultivation, and music cultivation are all special. But you won’t go out and buy so many children, right? Showing kindness to save those children from suffering? I'm afraid not.
Following the conspirator's tone, one word can come to mind: evil monk.
"This is impossible. The methods of the evil monks cannot be concealed. If they are really evil monks, they will not even be able to enter the teleportation circle. At least Liu Cheng and the other five will not be evil monks. In addition, is the Nine Lives Master a good person? It has nothing to do with us for the time being. I called them here this time just to make sure they are willing to pay for things. Nowadays, there are not many masters in the Yuandan realm who are willing to come to my place.
Tsk, so be it. You ask "Dao" to help you carefully find out the details of the Nine Lives Master. Liu Cheng and the other five of you should also have someone check them carefully. The identification methods were also asked to go through them again. "
Listen to others and eat enough. Yang Shu would not ignore the advice of others just because he trusted anyone. In special times, one cannot be too cautious.
"Understood, my subordinates will contact "Knife" again, and they shouldn't refuse because of their busy schedule. In addition, several casual cultivators have actually been in contact with us recently, and their cultivation levels are all in the Yuandan realm. Although the asking price is high, it is still reasonable. I wonder when, Your Majesty, you will be free to meet them."
Yang Shu understood what the other party meant, and it was nothing more than being prepared.
"Okay. Just tonight, you call people here, together with Liu Cheng and the others, and I will hold a banquet for them in the house."
"Good lord, I will make arrangements right away."
After that, the conspirator left quickly. Before leaving, he naturally removed the covering formation he had just opened and put the dharma plate into his arms. And Yang Shu continued to lower his head and review the pile of money and food documents on the table and various local reporting notes.
...
And right next door to Yang Shu's study, five stern-looking monks were sitting around a small table.
These five people were the disciples of the five Nine-Life Masters that Yang Shu had talked to his mastermind about before. They were also the masters of the Yuandan Realm who Yang Shu had invited through the Yueying Tower to help him.
"What did you say?"
"I couldn't hear clearly. The magic circle was very tight and almost nothing was missed. I only heard a few vague words."
"What is it?"
"Wishi City, Yueying Tower, and some fragmentary words. The general meaning is not clear, but they seem to have mentioned us."
"He deliberately opened the concealment circle, and it may mention us. Moreover, the mastermind of the Soul King obviously has something hidden in his eyes when he looks at us. I don't like that person very much."
"Let's take a look again. Be careful not to drop the talisman given by Master. Keep it with you at all times. This place is better than the City of Wasted Death. Our identities must not be leaked."
"Understood. Don't worry, senior brother. But I think it's better to report this matter to Master."
"Yeah, I will."
