It is not easy to rush back to Fusei City from Fengri City, because there is no teleportation circle that directly connects the two sides. You can only go to the border city to the east of Jingjiu Dynasty, then take a boat down the river, and finally have to go ashore for a while to reach it. It takes at least half a month to go and come back.
So Li Ce used the teleportation circle to go to the eastern border city, and after meeting the distance of Qianli Note, he exchanged opinions with Wen Peng, the palace lord of Wusi City.
Due to the space limit of Qianli Note, their communication was not so smooth and could only be passed on piece by piece. Most of the words were spoken by Li Ce, while Wen Peng was asking about the details of the first negotiation.
Seven days later, Li Ce was waiting for his old acquaintances, Han Xing and Zhou Baixu, in the eastern border town.
Zhou Baixu was busy with work, but he didn't talk nonsense after meeting Li Ce.
"What the Palace Master means is that Shen is deliberately trying to tempt us. And he is using our desire for "Xuan Mei Shu" to gradually lead the voice in the direction he wants. He also means to test us." Zhou Baixu said.
"Test us?" Li Ce hesitated to turn around. It was not that he hadn't thought about it these past few days, but he didn't feel that Shen Hao was testing anything. On the contrary, he agreed that Shen Hao's method was deliberately titillating.
"Didn't he tell you that he was interested in the news in Wusi City? He also said that if it was useful to him, he would be willing to exchange it?"
"Yes, that's what he said." Li Ce nodded. He knew that Zhou Baixu was actually relaying what Palace Master Wen Peng said, so he listened carefully. I also want to know what the palace owner is thinking about this.
"Then what kind of news or aspects of the city do you think the boy named Shen is interested in?"
Li Ce frowned. He didn't like this roundabout way of asking questions, but Zhou Baixu came with news about the palace master, so he could only answer patiently: "Shen Hao is now in the fourth rank of official residence. The Xuanqing Guards belong to the upper echelons and are in charge of the most popular Black Flag Battalion. It is no exaggeration to say that they have immense power.
So when it comes to training resources, I don’t think the boy named Shen will be short of resources. And he doesn't even look at money. So what does he lack? In my opinion, it is still inseparable from his official hat. "
Li Ce had his own opinion, and he was sure that what Shen Hao wanted should not be able to bypass the Black Flag Camp's contribution. But what credit?
Zhou Baixu smiled and nodded: "That's right, what that boy named Shen wants is credit. Then think about what achievements there are in the city of Fusi that are worthy of that boy's attention?
No, Li Ce, these words are not for me to beat around the bush with you, and you don’t have to be impatient with me. This is a question that the Palace Master told me to ask in front of you. "
Li Ce snorted and did not look at Zhou Baixu's smiling face. This woman was called Han Xing, but her words were unforgiving and her words were painful.
This method of comparison made him uncomfortable, but it was indeed the direction of deeper thinking. He pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "It's in vain that the City of Death has a special status. The people who come in and out of it are not only the sects of the Jing Dynasty. In Fenghong Villa, no matter how powerful Xuanqingwei is, he can't reach into the city of Fusei. Besides, the city of Wushu has its own rules and has nothing to do with the Jingjiu Dynasty, so it can't offend Xuanqingwei and the boy named Shen, right? "
"Then why does Shen Hao care about Yueying Tower so much?"
"Does the person named Shen care about Yueying Studio?"
"Of course, the Yueying Tower left a grudge in the heart of the old emperor Jing. No emperor is so broad-minded that he can laugh away his grudges. Revenge will definitely be taken. And the boy named Shen, as a hawk dog, how can he There is a reason not to care about Yueying Tower.
According to the palace owner, that boy was just seeking more benefits. "
"What's the benefit?"
Zhou Baixu smiled and said nothing.
Li Ce fell into deep thought again, and after a while, he looked at Zhou Baixu with burning eyes and asked: "You mean what Shen Hao wants is those who fought against him on the ground of the Jingjiu Dynasty and then retreated to the City of In vain. News? Yueying Tower is one of them, and those evil monks?"
This is actually not that hard to think of. Li Ce had never turned around before. He subconsciously felt that the City of Wasteful Death and Xuanqing Guard were not related at all, so he ignored that the City of Wasteful Death was actually not completely unrelated to the Jingjiu Dynasty, and even the City of Wasteful Death had some kind of connection with it. In a sense, it acted as a shelter for the old Jing Dynasty.
Not only the relatively large presences like Yueying Tower and evil cultivators, but also many casual cultivators. These people committed crimes in the Jingjiu Dynasty and had no place to hide, so they all came to the City of Fusi in a swarm. . Those who are unlucky will be killed by the locals within a few days of arriving at the City of Wasted Death. Those who are lucky will survive. Although they may not necessarily live a prosperous life, they can definitely be called impunity.
In this case, isn't Xuan Qingwei's greatest wish just to find those who are at large and find a way to bring them to justice?
Although this goal is difficult to achieve due to the special status of Wusi City, it does not stop Xuan Qingwei from thinking and doing this!
Zhou Baixu nodded and said: "Yes, the result of the palace master's analysis is also the same. The boy named Shen is probably targeting the evil monks hiding in Fusui City and things related to Yueying Tower.
He wanted it all. "
"..." Li Ce opened his mouth, wanting to say "He thinks too much" but the words came to his lips but nothing came out. Because he also knows how important "Xuan Mei Shu" is to Lingxiao Palace.
At the same time, the purpose of the palace master sending Zhou Baixu over was naturally not just to convey a message, but to explain the direction of subsequent negotiations. In other words, even if it was such an unreasonable request, Lingxiao Palace was prepared to hold its nose and admit it.
"What's the bottom line? The evil monks are not a small force in the City of Fusui. Although they are not popular with others, they still have some methods. Moreover, both the Sankuishuli and the two families are related to them. If we... ." Li Ce was still very worried. He was worried that this would bring trouble to Lingxiao Palace.
Zhou Baixu's face looked relaxed. She had already been explained clearly by the palace master Wen Peng when she was in Wusi City, so she naturally felt confident in her heart, so she continued: "After all, the evil monks can't see the light. Don't they hide it just because they are worried?" Did the Jingjiu Dynasty reach a tacit agreement with the three leaders and sell them? As long as the Jingjiu Dynasty did not have proof that they were in the City of Wasted Death, they could hide for one more day.
Besides, there are more than just evil monks in the city, right? Those people who were actually treated as dogs by the evil monks under the banner of the sect can also be called the enemies of Xuan Qingwei, right? I heard that the boy named Shen even fought against them. "
"You mean Zhengyang Sect?"
"That's right."
Li Ce thought for a while before his face relaxed again. Indeed, compared to the evil monks who were extremely difficult to deal with in the City of Fusei, the captive dogs of the Zhengyang Sect were much easier to deal with. As the saying goes, "beat the dog to see its master", but the master of the evil monk must also dare to show up. What's more, if the Zhengyang Sect is moved, the news can be controlled, as long as the evil monks don't know about it.
