Under the sharp and serious words of Inspector General Lan Ye, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense and solemn, and Nan's palms became slightly sweaty.
Nan's current performance is not because of Lan Ye's momentum. Even the Inspector General of the White Tiger Hall, the leader of the Northern Cross, and not only Guili, but also the elder sister who is well-known in the waters of the five countries of the Eastern Continent. To put it bluntly, it's not that interesting.
What really made Nan's palms sweat was because she realized that this matter was related to the "Emperor".
For any Guili person, no matter how high their status is or how powerful their martial arts skills are, they will always have awe of the "Emperor" in their hearts.
But this is a bit different from the attitude towards "gods" in many other countries. For the Guili people, the "emperor" is not so much their god, but more like an elder who feels like an old father.
Therefore, at any time, things related to the "Emperor" will be ranked high in the hearts of Guili people.
Nan's current tension also comes from this.
Fortunately, Zhao Yuer spoke from the side.
"Okay, Miss Lan Ye, your Baihutang is just pretending to the officials of the other four industries. Should you do the same to ordinary people?"
"She? A commoner? Are you sure?" Lan Ye rolled his eyes at Zhao Yu'er, but he also saw the girl's protective intentions.
In the territory of Guili, the people the master of the Qilin Pavilion insists on protecting can only be touched by the "Emperor", right? Although Lan Ye has long investigated the behind-the-scenes relationship between Northern Cross and Qilin Pavilion, but now it seems...
Lan Ye's eyes wandered between Nan and Zhao Yu'er.
The relationship between the two people should be deeper than I thought. I will have to add another record of this in the White Tiger Hall later.
This was what he was thinking in his heart, but Lan Ye quickly compromised: "Thank you Pavilion Master Zhao for the reminder, and Miss Nan, I'm sorry, it's just a professional habit, please bear with me."
"It doesn't matter. Sometimes I still keep my old habits at sea." Nan waved his hand and didn't mind. "Besides, it's about the emperor's departure. I can understand no matter how strict Miss Lanye is."
Because she also knew that Lan Ye was not targeting her, just this matter.
Lan Ye nodded: "If everyone in Guili can have Captain Nan's ideological consciousness, then our work at White Tiger Hall will be at least half as easy."
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally calmed down a bit, Lan Ye stopped pressing questions. Zhao Yuer saw the right moment and continued to say to Nan:
"Don't worry, things are not as tense as you think. You are not within the Five Elements, so you may not know. If the young man from Xuanwu Pass in Qiandao is really found to have a problem, then it is not Lan Ye who is asking you now. But Mr. Chen is the boss."
Chen Captou...
Nan followed Zhao Yu'er's words and moved his gaze in the direction of the knife-wielding woman who had been silent from the beginning.
Mr. Chen nodded to her and explained:
"There are two lists in Guili. One is a pure blacklist, which we Qinglong Yamen are responsible for. Whenever the people above appear in Guili, we will launch an all-out arrest. And if there are people on the blacklist overseas, If the person’s information is of “Xuan” level or above, we will not hesitate to go cross-border to execute it.”
"As for the second list, we generally call it the gray list. The more official one is the observer list, which is managed by Baihutang. As the name suggests, as long as it is a person who has the ability to bring "instability" to Guili, usually Everyone will be on this list, such as famous local gangsters, gang leaders, or business giants..."
"These people are regularly monitored by the White Tiger Hall. This kind of intensity is of course much smaller than the previous list, and..."
"And we are not trying to be enemies with these people." Lan Ye interrupted at the right time and took over the words from Capt. Chen.
"Baihutang does this just in case. Sometimes, we will even provide these people with additional conveniences if conditions permit, such as internal passages, etc. For example... some of them put it on paper Turn a blind eye to the illegality of the crime."
When he said the last sentence, Lan Ye deliberately lengthened his voice, which was a bit meaningful, and what happened next was as expected.
"By the way, Captain Nan, you are also on our gray list, and your level is not low."
After a brief digestion, Nan did not feel restrained at all. Instead, he smiled brightly and said, "Haha, I'm really honored."
She finally understood now why Zhao Yu'er never mentioned the "list" to her before. I'm afraid it was because of her own feelings. The helpless way Zhao Yu'er held her forehead was the best proof.
But in fact, after hearing the general description of the list, Nan felt that it was pretty cool that he could be on it?
And it somewhat explains that an unofficial armed fleet like the "North Cross" was initially forced to be incorporated and disbanded by the Five Elements, but now it can do business freely in Guili. I'm afraid it can't do without its own name." "Won" the credit for this gray list.
Of course, Nan breathed a sigh of relief in the end.
"So...Brother Bai actually has nothing to do with the organization that is trying to defeat the "Emperor", right? Phew! This is really the best news I heard today."
"Brother Bai?" Lan Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, that's the name of that young man, but I heard from Xiaoyu's father... Well, I learned from other sources that Bai seems to be just a code name for that young man. His real name is Liao Zixuan. Anyway, I don't think he has anything to do with it. Lie, after all, he also looks like one of our Guili people."
"Not necessarily." This time it was Chen Captou who had been silent, who spoke.
"The Qiandao people in the Eastern Continent are very similar to us. Besides, he is also in Qiandao. It's too early to draw this conclusion now."
At the same time, Chen Captou continued to ask:
"Besides, Miss Nan, from your tone, it seems that you trust this young man?"
"It's trust...it's not there yet, but he gives me the feeling that he is a very reliable person."
"Very reliable? Miss Nan, can you be more specific?"
Nan scratched his head, then suddenly clapped his hands.
"I don't know if you can understand this, but if he is my crew member, I will trust him with my back, right? You want to ask me again why..."
Nan shrugged and said, "I can only say that this is a sailor's intuition. Anyway, I always trust my own intuition."
"Is that so...Thank you for providing this, Captain Nan."
Chen Captou nodded to Nan, and it could be heard that compared to talking to Lan Ye from Baihutang, Chen Captou, who was straightforward, made people feel obviously more comfortable.
After that, Nan quickly told everything she knew about Liao Zixuan to the three people present, which naturally included Nan's judgment of Liao Zixuan's strength through the small detail of holding hands.
It can be seen that among the three people present, Zhao Yu'er looks a little suspicious. It's not that he doubts the young man's strength, but he doubts Nan's statement. So his strength can be seen with just a small movement?
However, Chen Captou, who is the "first catcher" of Qinglong Yamen, agrees with Nan's judgment.
"Pavilion Master Zhao specializes in magic and is not a martial artist. It is normal that he cannot understand it. However, both me and Lan Ye understand it deeply. This is by no means an easy task. At least Lan Ye will definitely not be able to do what the young man did at that time. , allowing Captain Nan to grab her before she could react."
Lan Ye: "..."
“If you’re surnamed Chen, you don’t have to speak if you can’t speak.”
He glanced at the short-haired woman with the same hair color as himself, and then looked back.
"It's just facts." At some point, Chen Captou turned to holding the scabbard and said.
However, Chen Captou soon stopped staying on this topic and began to analyze seriously:
"Judging from Captain Nan's description, he can promote the reform of Qiandao. This young man does not look like a villain. When Qiandao faces disaster, he is willing to stay and bear it together. He is a bloody person."
It can be seen that Capt. Chen's evaluation of Liao Zixuan is surprisingly high, but another...
"What's more important is that he can actually win over Vivian to become his companion and help him hide his identity." Lan Ye added.
"Oh, now the information has been updated, and there is an additional sweetheart from the Countess of the Flame Territory. Well... it sounds like he is a troublesome guy."
"We have to ask Baihutang to add that countess to the list..." Lan Ye seemed to be talking to himself, the dice in his hand spinning very fast.
Nan was a little surprised: "Vivian? Do you also know her?"
"Of course, although our White Tiger Hall's intelligence is not as powerful as that of Qilin Pavilion, if we really want to check it, we can still check it very quickly. When we put the young man on the list, the little girl from Yanyu who was willing to cooperate with him to pretend to be , we naturally have to pay attention, she is also on our list now, but the level is much lower, only Xuan level."
Hearing that Vivian was also included in the list by Lan Ye, although she was only among the "Xuanhuang people of heaven and earth", the corners of Nan's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but sigh for the little girl. If Liao Zixuan said that she was not sure yet, but Weiwei install...
If even that kind of little girl is a bad person, then there will probably be no good people in the world, right?
So this raises a question.
"I've been a little concerned about it since the beginning. You've been talking about pretending to be an identity, pretending and so on... Are you sure that he is not from Xuanwu Pass? In that case, shouldn't he be a bigger suspect?"
As for Nan’s question, it was Zhao Yuer who answered it this time:
"Nan, just think about it, if you were that young man and were related to this operation, in order not to be exposed, would you choose a pseudonym that has nothing to do with the organization, or would you just use the organization's real name?"
Looking at Nan's expression of sudden realization, Zhao Yu'er nodded.
"So before you came, I told the other two adults about my speculation about the young man. Since our first meeting, I have been thinking about the other person's purpose of deliberately approaching my father. , and why don’t you choose anything else among the Five Elements, but insist on saying that you are the secret agent of Xuanwu Pass?”
"At first, I thought it was because Xuanwu Pass is in charge of customs and naturally has more interactions with foreign countries. It is easier for people to believe that they are disguised as Xuanwu Pass personnel. But now it seems... I am 80% sure that his purpose is... Just to use your words to give us a warning to leave."
Following Zhao Yuer's words, Nan also nodded thoughtfully.
"So he expected that after you learned about it, you would immediately check his identity at Xuanwu Pass. But in fact, the "identity" is just a cover. What he really wants you to check is the person who was broken into behind Xuanwu Pass... Don't National secret agent!"
The more Nan talked about it, the more he couldn't help but marvel.
Then came a feeling of panic.
Why.
Because of this step-by-step strategizing and the perfect fit of each link, when the truth is revealed, it is really hard to imagine how powerful the person behind the chess is.
The young man was able to find his overseas father who could not be found by the master of Qilin Pavilion when he returned home, and he should have found it a long time ago. He has been playing a secret game. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the other party could choose this time so precisely. Let Zhao Jie appear in Zhao Yuer's sight.
etc! Suddenly another terrible thought came to Nan's mind.
In that case, the reason why Zhao Yu'er was able to discover the source of Zhao Jie's intelligence, and the fake sinking of the Astologis, was actually part of the other party's plan and a deliberate design! ?
Judging from the expression on Zhao Yuer's face now, Nan knew that the girl was also aware of this, and the young man definitely expected that Zhao Yuer would definitely send someone to Qiandao to pick up Zhao Jie. This was indeed the case, and then the young man could logically, You don't even have to move yourself, you just need to move your mouth a few times to send out the information.
This this...
Unknowingly, they were hooked from the very beginning, just like fish, following the scent of the bait, and finally biting the hook step by step.
horrible.
This is the first time Nan has felt this way about a person.
It was also the first time she saw that the talented girl known as the "Gui Li Brain", the youngest master of the Qilin Pavilion, was led by others step by step from beginning to end.
Thinking about it now, she still felt a little unfair as to why the young man was suddenly included in the highest "Heaven Level" list, but now it seems that just because of his ability to strategize...Heaven Level is well deserved.
"If my guess is correct, that young man did not specifically help us return, but just like helping Qiandao, he was essentially working against another organization, which can also be said to be the country."
"Organization, country?..."
"That's right, it's Lingdong. The source of the current disaster in Qiandao is Lingdong's executive officer. Although they hypnotized us with a very strange command to attack our senior officials at Xuanwu Pass, it's impossible that the mastermind behind it was also Lingdong. Wrong."
After Chen Captou's words, Lan Ye comforted him in a somewhat relaxed tone:
"Actually, I would like to see this scene. After all, a person who helps you with a purpose is much more reassuring than a person who doesn't know why he is helping you."
"What's more, this little brother also asked us for payment." Lan Ye chuckled.
remuneration...
When Nan mentioned this, he suddenly realized what he was going to do this time. It was not her fault, too much happened in the middle.
"About this point, the three of us actually had a discussion before you came. Chen Captou voted against it on the grounds that the Annihilation Star is too powerful and such a lethal weapon cannot be leaked under any circumstances, but I Pavilion Master Zhao and I both voted in favor because we all believe that the Annihilation Star cannot be recreated, at least not in a short period of time."
"There are three difficulties that need to be overcome to recreate the Annihilation Star. If the blueprints are included, there are four. First of all, there must be a group of senior craftsmen who can understand the blueprints and ensure that they will not make mistakes. This is one of the three hurdles. The simplest thing is that even if he has the ability to recruit such a group of craftsmen, he will never be able to complete the second difficulty within three to five years."
"Materials, the production of the Annihilation Star requires all kinds of precious materials, and what's even more regrettable is that these materials are not only distributed in one country, but come from Yanyu, Thousand Islands, Guili, Qingfeng, and Winter. Although he does not need a lot of materials to search among the five countries in the mainland, unless he can have a huge force that covers the five countries, he will have to spend half a year just to visit all the five countries. You must know that Qing Qing Feng is only two months away from us by sea, not to mention the further winter."
"But in terms of quality, the materials from the five nations above are not enough compared to the third difficulty below. However, this third hurdle in making [Annihilation Star] is the most important, because it involves When it comes to the core power and strength of the Annihilation Star, I don’t need to say this, Captain Nan should also understand it.”
Nan nodded after Lan Ye's words.
"Forbidden monsters." She slowly spit out these four words.
"Yes, the reason why the Annihilation Star can be so powerful is that it must use a large amount of blood essence from forbidden monsters to smelt its core. And if he can find a living forbidden monster within three years, he will also be willing to donate it to him. A lot of precious blood essence... hum."
"Write the two characters "I, Lan Ye" upside down for him!"
A confident smile appeared on the short-haired woman's lips. That young man likes to play chess, right? Then she would have a good time with the other party, and the Annihilation Star was the fake bait she used to trick him, and Lan Ye was sure that the other party would definitely bite the bait.
In this case...
The fish that bit the hook had to pull back the line. Lan Ye believed that since the other party wanted the blueprint, he might actually be able to create it, but what Lan Ye didn't believe was what she mentioned at the beginning, time, so as long as he grasped it accurately this...
"Captain Nan, so after our two-to-one vote, we agreed to let you bring him the drawings of the Annihilation Star, but I have to add a condition, a very small condition."
"I need him... to return to Guili with you immediately after solving the troubles in Qiandao!"
This is what Lan Ye put on the table.
As for what was not said in the audience, of course...
Before the other party had time to prepare to build the Annihilation Star, he first deceived the other party, and then in order to praise his contribution, White Tiger Hall Chief Inspector Lan Ye, after applying to his superiors, transferred him to his direct subordinate. ! Will she still want to build an Annihilation Star under her nose? Even if she is created, she can also use means to recycle it.
Fishing, reeling in the line, and finally putting it into the fish tank, this is the trilogy that Lan Ye is best at and most familiar with.
