Seeing that Wei Zong was still pondering, Wu Mei couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Well...there are indeed some things that need to be done." Wei Zong thought for a while, and then said: "I have a few books on martial arts and martial arts that were captured and are of no use to me, so I want to sell them.
Remove them and replace them all with source crystals. Wu Mei, you are familiar with this emperor, do you know where I can replace them?"
"This, it's quite simple." Wu Mei replied without thinking, "Just go to Wanbaozhai."
"Where is Wanbaozhai?"
"I'll give you a map, just follow it."
After a while...
Wei Zong took a map and left Wu's house. On the map, Wanbaozhai was on the westernmost side of the inner city. According to Wu Mei's description, Wanbaozhai was the most magnificent building there. Once there, just look up and see
see.
You must know that the entire imperial city is divided into three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city. The imperial city is where the royal family lives, while the inner city is mostly the residence of dignitaries and top wealthy families. The Wu family is naturally in the inner city.
Moreover, as a family with a god of war, the Wu family can also be said to be the number one force in the inner city, and no one dares to offend it.
"West side..."
Wei Zong followed the map's instructions and walked towards the west side of the inner city on the map.
Not long after...
"By the way, have you heard that the Wu family has been in a lot of chaos recently?"
As he walked, Wei Zong heard an extremely subtle sound in his ears. Hearing that it was related to the Wu family, Wei Zong paused and stopped immediately. With his ears moving slightly, he could tell that the sound was coming from the left side.
It came from the restaurant.
Just when Wei Zong was listening carefully, there was indeed another voice.
"Huh, of course I heard about it. It is said that Wu Jue, who was exiled before, has come back and wants to compete for the position of the head of the family. Let me tell you, Wu Jue is a bit too naive. He is alone, how can he compete with others?
That lineage?"
"Hey, brother, your news is lagging behind. Wu Jue is not alone."
"No? Are there other forces supporting him? I have never heard of this. Brother, come, have a drink and tell us more!" As he spoke, the sound of pouring wine came from above.
"Haha, that's easy to say." As if he had drank to his heart's content, the voice spoke again, but it was much lower than before. Wei Zong had to concentrate all his attention to hear the voice.
"Let me tell you, the force behind Wu Jue is most likely the royal family!"
"The royal family? Didn't Wu Jue make a scene at Her Royal Highness the Princess's banquet before? It would be great if the royal family doesn't hate him. How could they still support him?"
"Hey, you don't understand this. According to the information I got, Wu Jue's big banquet is probably a staged show. If you think about it carefully, given Wu Jue's current situation, he was originally in the Wu family.
If you are already in a difficult situation, why would you offend the royal family? Therefore, the possibility of deliberately acting and pretending to be at odds with the royal family is even greater. Moreover, according to my information, it is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess admires Wu Jue..." Speaking of the latter
, the sound was almost imperceptible.
"Hiss—" a gasping sound sounded.
"You mean that the royal family wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the Wu family and control the election of the head of the Wu family?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. This is a big deal. If it spreads, your head will be lost. We two brothers can just talk about it. We must not let the third person know." The voice was obviously cautious to the extreme.
"I know, I know, brother, I'm not a fool, and I won't make fun of my own life. But, brother, you are so serious about what you said. Where did you get all this information?"
"Hey, this is a secret, don't say it, don't say it!"
The voice seemed a bit mysterious.
After that, the two stopped talking.
Wei Zong frowned and wanted to continue listening, but neither of them seemed to be interested in talking anymore. They just drank and ate food without revealing any other secrets. Wei Zong thought about it, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity.
, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant, in the direction where the sound came from before.
However, when he arrived, he only saw an empty table, the dishes and chopsticks placed on it, and the remaining food and wine, which still exuded a faint warmth.
The two people had obviously left not long ago.
Wei Zong turned around and looked around, taking in the behavior of everyone in the restaurant, but he didn't find anyone similar to the two people before.
"Leaving so fast?" Although Wei Zong was a little puzzled, he didn't want to go into details, so he turned around and was about to leave. But the next moment, a waiter ran over and stood in front of him, nodding and bowing.
"I'm just here for a visit. I don't want to eat or stay in the hotel." Wei Zong said calmly, pushing the waiter away and leaving.
Seeing Wei Zong about to leave, the waiter who was pushed away suddenly became anxious and chased Wei Zong while saying:
"Sir, please wait a moment. The two previous guests said that a young man in black robes will come up to pay their bills. Their bills haven't been settled yet! Look, this..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, he felt a strong wind coming towards him.
The next moment, he saw the young man in black robe who was about to leave appeared in front of him and said with a stern face: "What did you say!!"
Seeing Wei Zong's terrifying expression, the waiter shrank and said, "It's just...the two guests who were eating there just now. When I asked them to pay, they said that a young man in black robe would come up to pay for them.
Then they disappeared." The waiter said with a sad face: "Sir, I really don't know where they went, so they came to you. Since these two have appointed you, they must be your friends. You see
Look, this meal money..."
Wei Zong's face was extremely ugly, and he threw a few low-grade source crystals into the waiter's hands without thinking.
"This is food money, that's enough! I have something to ask you, if you answer it honestly and well, Yuan Jing will not miss you."
"That's enough, that's enough! Sir, if you have anything to say, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything." Seeing Yuan Jing, the waiter's eyes widened. Most people pay with silver, but this guy actually used Yuan Jing to pay.
Jing, you are really rich and powerful.
Wei Zong nodded: "Okay, let me ask you, what do those two people look like, how old they are, what clothes they are wearing, and when did they come to the restaurant?"
When Wei Zong asked this series of questions, the waiter frowned and thought for a long time, and then said with some embarrassment: "Sir, I...I forgot!"
"Forgot?" Wei Zong frowned and said coldly: "They just left not long ago, how could you forget so quickly? If nothing else, you can at least remember a rough idea of what they look like!"
"Sir, I really can't remember it!" The waiter said with a sad face: "I didn't know that was the case. In my memory, it seems that a layer of fog has enveloped those two people.
