That night.
A small restaurant in the south of the city.
Yan Wu was sitting quietly in a certain elegant room, and a plate of fine wine and food had just been served. behind him,
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in." As Yan Wu spoke, he waved the door open, and the two people inside and the person outside looked at each other. I saw a man standing outside the door wearing black clothes, his face covered and his face invisible, only a pair of falcon-like eyes were exposed.
He stared at Yan Wu for a long time, then stepped in.
"哐"
The door closes by itself.
There were two stools on the table, and obviously the other one was empty for himself.
"Fellow Taoist contacted me through my disciple and asked me to come here secretly. I don't know why?" The man in black was Zang Huang, the elder of Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower. At this time, he pointed at Yanwu and dared not mess around. Shao Wu, who was moved, asked calmly.
"Fellow Taoist Zang Han doesn't know. Yan didn't catch the disciple on purpose. Instead, he contacted you after saving his life." Yan Wu waved his hand, indicating that Shao Wu could go to the master's side.
Shao Wu looked at his master's questioning eyes and nodded slightly.
"Last night, I happened to sense spiritual energy fluctuations around me. When I arrived, my disciple was being chased by a Golden Core monk. Originally, I didn't intend to help. But I found out that the disciple was chasing you. The man in black actually used the method of a demonic cultivator. I suspected that he was from Blood Blade or Snow Lotus, so I took action to save the disciple."
Before Yan Wu could continue, Zang Huang nodded directly and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. This is a favor that my disciple owes you, and I will definitely repay you in the future. If there is nothing else, I will leave with my disciple." "
"Hey, fellow Taoist Zang, don't be anxious." Yan Wu wanted to persuade him to sit down and chat more, but Zang Huang was about to leave.
In desperation, Yan Wu directly revealed his purpose.
"I heard from the disciple that Fellow Daoist Zang is looking for Thunder Cultivator. Does it seem to be related to breaking through the Nascent Soul?" Yan Wu chuckled, "No, I know that there is a golden elixir who knows some tricks to control thunder, and this person still owes me a Favor. If Fellow Daoist Zang is in need, I can ask him to help you."
Zang Huang, who had already walked to the door in three steps, with one hand resting on the door frame, actually stopped in place when he heard this. He turned his head and stared at Shao Wu coldly, and Shao Wu felt terrified by what he saw.
"You don't have to blame him, Fellow Daoist Zang. I wanted to make friends with you, so I only asked Fellow Daoist Zang if there was anything I needed. I didn't know anything else."
Yan Wu helped Shao Wu to explain, and then looked at Zang Huang calmly.
After hesitating for a few breaths, Zang Huang finally came back and sat down again.
"Did you kill the two golden elixirs of the sect last night?" He just sat down and didn't mention the matter of the Thunder monks, but actually asked about other things for no reason.
"I was watching your apprentice at the time. I didn't know about this matter. I only heard about it when it spread in the west of the city. It was not me who killed them." Yan Wu shook his head, looking uninformed.
Funny, Yan Wu was targeted by Xue Ren and He Youjia. Before Zang Huang agreed to cooperate, no one should be allowed to know the involvement and connection between Yan Wu and Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun's current idea is to use Jiang Yun's identity to deal with Ke Xinyu overtly and covertly. As for Yanwu's identity... He must be targeted by He Youjia, so he can only act secretly.
"Um."
Zang Huang nodded, "How strong is the monk you mentioned?"
"Mid-stage Golden Core." Yanwu knew his heart was moving and said with a smile, "Thunder is his strength."
"What do you want?" Zang Huang said that he was lying if he said he was not moved. His end was approaching. If he could not take this opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul, he would die. He didn't care about anything else when he was about to die. Now, as long as there is a thunder monk who can help him reach the Nascent Soul stage and extend his lifespan, he may not hesitate to betray the sect.
"Don't worry yet." Yan Wu glanced at Shao Wu with a half-smile.
Shao Wu was anxiously waiting for his master to talk to Yan Wu, when he suddenly found that there was no sound between them.
"puff!"
A palm passed through his chest. Master Zang Huang stood in front of him, looking at him with a cold expression, "How dare you betray the master and leak the master's information. This is an unforgivable crime."
Shao Wu did not expect that he would suddenly be killed by his master. He looked at Yan Wu who was eating in the distance in disbelief.
Yan Wuli ignored him.
Shao Wu's only role is to ask Zang Huang out. Now that he and Zang Huang are about to start business, how can he keep him? If the news leaks out, it will be a big trouble.
"We can talk now." Zang Huang didn't show any emotion at all about killing a named disciple.
"Fellow Daoist Zang is so happy." Yanwu said, "Fellow Daoist just asked me what I want? What I want is very simple. I hope to help Daoist Zang become the leader!"
Zang Huang raised his eyebrows.
"The leader of our Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower is a master whose strength is comparable to mine. Are you supporting me to be the leader?" Zang Hong was not in a hurry to continue, and raised a difficult question with his backhand.
"Does Fellow Daoist Zang have no confidence in himself or in me? I have already said that there will be monks who know the Thunder Taoism to help you break through the Nascent Soul. As you are in the Nascent Soul stage, it shouldn't be difficult for you to take the position of leader, right?"
Unexpectedly, Zang Kun still shook his head.
"I'm joking. As we all know, the leader is voted by the elders of the sect and appointed by the supreme elder. If the supreme leader didn't appoint me, it would be impossible for me to be the leader."
"That's very simple." Yan Wu lowered his voice, "I heard from Shao Wu that the Golden Elixir Stage of your Qingfeng Xiaoyu Tower is divided into two major factions, with a total of six Golden Elixir. You have two, and the leader has two. As long as we kill all the Jindan elders of the head faction, even if the supreme elder doesn’t want to, he won’t be able to stop you.”
Zang Huang thought for a moment and said, "What will I do after I become the leader? I'll see if I can help you now."
"What I want you to do will directly expose my identity." Yan Wu shook his head, "But what I can guarantee is that I am definitely not a member of Blood Blade and Snow Lotus, nor a person of any force. When the time comes, my purpose will only be If Fellow Daoist Zang Han takes the position of leader, he will definitely be able to do it, and there is no need for Fellow Daoist Zang to take risks, and there is no need for Fellow Daoist Zang to do anything detrimental to the interests."
Zang Huang was a little hesitant. He really wanted to break through now. If he didn't break through, he might die within three to five years.
The temptation of life is obviously greater.
And as long as you break through Nascent Soul, whether you can help them or not is still a matter of your own words. Even if you break the contract, the other party can't do anything to you.
It sounds like it will do no harm to you.
"When will it be available?" Zang Huang can't wait. Although he is not very attached to the position of leader, as long as he can reach the Nascent Soul stage, everything can be discussed!
Yan Wu pondered, but it was actually Jiang Yun on the other side who pondered.
"In a few days, the Ditingyuan and the Eight Great Sects will hold a disciple recruitment conference. At that time, all the Eight Great Sects and the Listening Schools from all over the world will focus on the conference. Do you have time at that time?" In the end, he decided to attend the conference anyway. Everything has been handed over to Ke Xinyu, and he can be the boss without any scruples.
Presumably Ke Xinyu is not willing to let himself get in the way.
"I can do it." Zang Huang nodded. These matters were all decided by the leader's faction. Naturally, he didn't care. Even if something happened, he would push it aside to make way for his own important matters.
"Okay, we'll contact you then."
The two exchanged transmission notes, and Zang Hong was about to leave. Just as he was halfway there, he suddenly said, "If anything unusual happens to the leader of your sect, I hope fellow Taoist Zang Hong can give me a message in time." .”
"It depends on the situation." Zang Huang had not seen Brother Thunder, so he would not agree to such a thing in a hurry.
He had to go back and check if the leader had provoked anyone recently to determine whether this matter was reliable or not.
Looking at his leaving figure, Yan Wu and Jiang Yun from the west of the city had the same smile on their lips.
. . .
"Huh?"
Jiang Yun stood up and walked to the window of the restaurant. The streets seemed quite busy tonight. Recently, news came out that the conference was going to be held. Many people brought their children into the city, and many vendors' closing hours at night were extended a lot.
I just don’t know if workers get overtime pay?
"Go down and walk around."
Jiang Yun really didn't have a good time at night in the county town. He had always done things in the middle of the night, so how could he have such free time to wander around.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision spotted a figure flashing past at the corner of the street.
"is her?"
A woman passed quickly along the streets and alleys. This woman was Lan Xiang, the head of the Law Enforcement Department in the west of the city. The head of the Law Enforcement Department, who was at the pinnacle of foundation building, had never had much say in the entire institution. Many law enforcement officers felt that following this minister was too oppressive.
If the three departments needed the cooperation of the Law Enforcement Department, Lan Xiang would always smile.
Even though many of her law enforcement officers were really loyal to He Youjia and the dean of the Criminal Department, she turned a blind eye and did not dare to have any dissatisfaction. This is so long and frustrating!
"I don't know how I got this position."
After thinking about it, Jiang Yun unexpectedly caught up with him. He was curious about where the law enforcement minister was going as night approached.
The two of them walked in tandem, worried that they would be discovered, so Jiang Yun even kept following her with his soul activated.
The range of opening the soul is limited, and opening it for a long time consumes a lot of golden elixir. Only people like Jiang Yun, who had twice as much soul power as others, dared to use it like this. Anyway, with the recovery speed of my golden elixir, I can probably fully recover after half a day's rest tomorrow. Generally, the amount of gold elixir is small, the detection range is small, and the recovery speed is slow. Who dares to be so extravagant?
Even Jiang Yun has to take a break after a while, otherwise the power of the soul will be consumed too quickly and too much, which will lead to poor condition, which will be dangerous if he encounters an unexpected situation.
Although it was a bit troublesome and tiring, the benefits of tracking with the soul were obvious, and Jiang Yun didn't worry about losing him at all.
Follow Lan Xiang all the way from the west of the city to Beicheng District.
Most of the official institutions in Beicheng District are located here, such as the City Lord's Mansion, the City North District Courtyard, the Water Conservancy Department, the Civil Engineering Department, etc.
"Are you going to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Jiang Yun was puzzled as he watched Lan Xiang sneak into the city lord's mansion. Why did Lan Xiang, the minister of the First Academy, come here for a tryst in the middle of the night? I’ve never heard of the relationship between the city lord and Minister Lan Xiang?
"Do you know the relationship between Lan Xiang and the City Lord's Mansion?" Jiang Yun thought for a while and directly asked a person who might know about it.
Xiao Tianyang, Minister of Documents.
Since he is from Fuling Menting, he must be very aware of information and the like.
"The two are siblings." Xiao Tianyang replied quickly, and gave him an even more exciting piece of news, "At the same time, Lanxiang is He Youjia's mistress. The reason why she became the Minister of Law Enforcement was all because of He Youjia's hard work. Recommended, the dean probably also wants to have a hand in the direct transfer power of the law enforcement department, so he took advantage of the situation and let this puppet take the position."
Good guy!
No wonder there are rumors that one-third of the Law Enforcement Department is from He Youjia. It turns out that their minister is He Youjia’s mistress!
As for the dean, Jiang Yun was a little confused.
The presence of this good-natured man who seemed at first glance actually gave him the feeling that he could not see the other person's thoughts and depths, which gave him an inexplicable sense of fear.
