At the beginning of the year, Shen Hao met Wang Jian in the study room at home, saying that he had urgent news.
"My lord, the news from Death City is in vain."
In the afternoon, Wang Jian was asked by Wang Jian, the secret agent of Fusui City, to ask for instructions. He said that someone had seen through the identity of the secret agent and was not a serious carriage dealer. However, the details should not be clear, let alone the fact that Heishui, who had only been out for a few years and had never been involved in the business, had An organization that has never been seen. But after the other party saw through it, he showed no hostility. On the contrary, he showed a posture of wanting to cooperate.
Shen Hao didn't mind cooperating, so he replied to the other party and said that he could give it a try, because the City of Wasted Death is a place outside the law, and it is a place where Blackwater urgently needs to have a certain understanding and play a role, so it is naturally possible to rely on some external forces.
However, if the other party is playing tricks on Black Water or has other intentions, then they cannot be allowed to live. Don't think that someone with the status of Sankuiyuan really can't do anything. No matter how powerful the person behind the scenes is, he is just an insignificant loser. It will only be a little more troublesome to kill him. Compared to the majesty of Heishui, a little trouble is nothing.
So after Shen Hao nodded, the other party responded, then reached cooperation, and finally relayed the news back, which took a lot of time. However, the result is indeed much faster than relying solely on dark water to investigate.
Wang Jian handed Shen Hao a copper note written with a secret message and said, "The roots of all five people have been found, and they are all disciples of the Nine Lives Master."
While listening to Wang Jian's brief description, Shen Hao unfolded the copper strips, used decryption methods to decipher the contents inside, and then read it quickly. Then he raised his brows slightly: "Isn't this Nine Lives Master the King of Jin Yang Wenguang! Tsk tsk, this is interesting."
The Master of Nine Lives is Yang Wenguang's honorific title in Wushou City, which was passed down from the previous commander's yamen. But Shen Hao didn't expect to find five disciples of King Jin Yang Wenguang beside King Ling.
In addition, some details about Jiu Ming Zhenren's sect were also sent back with this information. According to the informant who was new to Blackwater, the Nine Lives Master's lineage was a bit more evil, and there was a possibility of using boys and girls to practice evil techniques. The evidence is that they regularly purchase a few to a dozen children from the slave traders in the City of Death, and the children they buy never come out of their camp alive.
Is this half proof? Even if the lineage of the Nine Lives Master is not an evil cultivator, it is definitely inseparable from the evil cultivator.
And in this way, the previous speculations about the fourth part of Black Water will be continued.
King Ling was regarded as a target, and disciples of Jin Wang Yang Wenguang were placed around him as informants. Later, these informants would relay some information back to Jin Wang Yang Wenguang through Fu Ji. As for why they didn't use Thousand Miles of Musical Notes to communicate directly, this was naturally the insurance period.
Because although Qianli Note is extremely difficult to intercept, there will be obvious mana fluctuations during the transmission, and it can be discovered if one is willing to detect it. Generally, spies in critical positions would not easily use Thousand Mile Notes to return. For example, the sisters Heishui placed in the residence of Bai Changqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, rarely used thousand-mile notes, but used simple copper bars or code words.
In this way, the context of the entire line will come out. There is a high probability that the Spirit King was kept in the dark and did not know the truth.
There is also another speculation that Shen Hao agrees with Heishui, that is, it is impossible for the Spirit King himself to know and find the monks under the disciples of Jiu Ming Zhenren in Wushou City as helpers, and it is also impossible for one of his advisers to provide advice, otherwise It would be in vain to find so many masters in the city. Why would you choose a few people who are close to the evil monks to be your helpers? So those five people should have been contacted by Yueying Tower for the Spirit King.
Shen Hao recalled the scene when he saw the five people outside the "Being Not Loss" pub before, and said: "Maybe the Spirit King is not completely ignorant."
"Huh? What did you think of?" Wang Jian was curious, because Shen Hao had met the five people in person, so it was not surprising that he discovered any details.
"Location! That day, after I met the Spirit King by chance, I went out and saw the five people at an alley relatively far away from the Spirit King. According to the information, the five people were monks from the Yuandan realm and should be standing close to the Spirit King. The king's core defense circle is the right one, and you shouldn't stand on the edge. Does this mean that the Spirit King is guarding against them?"
Although Shen Hao asked a question, the expression on his face was determined. The princes do not have monks from the Xuanhai realm to help them, which is against the bottom line of the royal family's "big exam". Because if the monks in the Xuanhai Realm were to be ruthless, they might really make the results of the "big exam" a mess. In the end, several princes would be dead, so there would be no place to cry.
"This...but if the Spirit King noticed the clues about those five people, why did he still keep them with him?"
"Haha, you are confident, why else? King Ling's power has skyrocketed after taking over the south gate guard and the Yamen of the Imperial City. Bai Changqing is still standing in his team, and he has the power to tighten money and food in his hands to win over the middle and lower classes in the world. Officials are no worse than those aristocratic families and aristocratic families who gathered around the eldest prince.
In addition, didn’t you hear before that many of the martial arts left by the second prince Qian Wang after his death were taken over by the Spirit King? I am afraid that he will have a lot of monks in the back realm of Yuandan Realm, and he is no longer afraid of what the five disciples of King Jin are doing secretly.
Do you think the Spirit King is using those five people to test where Yueyinglou’s butt is tilted? "
Wang Jian nodded repeatedly. He always admired Master Shen's judgment. Just such a small detail directly pushed the entire context a step forward. If this speculation is followed, the Spirit King, who has always felt pitifully plotted, is not completely in the dark. Judging from his behavior, he should be wary of the five people under his command and Yueying Tower.
However, Shen Hao stood up from the chair after being silent for a while, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside, thought for a long time and then said: "If the Spirit King is aware, then should the five marginalized people also be aware of it?" Noticed it? Or maybe the Spirit King’s reaction is really not a good thing.”
"You mean... the Spirit King will be in danger?" Wang Jian was shocked when Shen Hao woke up at this moment. Indeed! King Ling's move to distance himself from King Jin's five disciples was a little hasty, and this would definitely arouse King Jin's reaction. And according to normal thinking, it must be: If you find out about my clues, I will kill you, lest you expose me and disturb my subsequent plans.
Therefore, the Spirit King is in danger!
Shen Hao nodded: "That's right. If I were the King of Jin, I would never let the threat of the Soul King that might be aware of him continue to exist. At worst, I will continue to play tricks and find opportunities to kill the Soul King. This is like that to him It is not a difficult task for an evil monk in the Xuanhai Realm.
Report it. It’s hard for us to get involved in this matter. It’s probably hard for both Master Jiang and Master Pangda to get involved. The final decision will definitely depend on His Majesty’s wishes. "
The emperor's attitude is the most difficult to figure out in this series of undercurrents.
