While Qin Fan was preparing a plan to deal with the beast tide in one fell swoop and bring Xuanyang Territory under complete control, Yue Piaoling was wandering around the world, and then stopped by Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion to chat with his little sister.
When Qin Fan was killing people outside Yangyun City, Yue Piaoling was still wandering around the world, but he didn't forget to go to Linxue Nuanxiang Pavilion to meet the young lady for a drink.
Finally, when Qin Fan returned to Wuyou Villa and was about to take in a wave of origins, Yue Piaoling finally returned to Ye Mansion.
In the Xuanhuang Domain, the center of the Daxuan Dynasty, there is an even more ordinary mansion in an ordinary small city. On the plaque at the door are two large characters - Ye Mansion.
Yefu = Yefu, nothing wrong with it.
This is not Ye Mansion's old nest. To be precise, there is no old nest in Ye Mansion. It will change every few months. This time it is Ye Mansion, next time it may be Yuelai Inn, and next time it may be a pawn shop.
In short, in this ordinary mansion, there is gathered a group of people who are best at assassination in the entire Daxuan Dynasty, and of course the steward of Ye Mansion, A'er.
Just like Ah Da looks big and Ah Er looks the same, both names were chosen carelessly for some special reasons.
Ah Er was happy with this, and for him, the name Mr. Er of Yefu was more meaningful.
However, just looking at his appearance and dress, it is difficult to associate him with the word "Ye Fu".
At this moment, Yue Piaoling was looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was wearing an old cloth, his weather-beaten face was full of stories, his hair was extremely messy, and he could only hold a bottle of wine to pretend to be a guest, and said:
"Ah Er, can't you just give me some advice? Why did our Yefu owe you money?"
Ah Er shook his greasy hair, feeling a little out of sorts and said:
"You should have come back three days earlier..."
Yue Piaoling coughed dryly, decisively skipped the topic of asking Ah Er to dress up a little, and said directly:
"Where's the "Shadowless Divine Art"?"
Ah Er took out a piece of paper from the space ring and said:
"This is all we have at the moment, which is considered a deposit."
Yue Piaoling took the paper and looked at the contents carefully. She flipped through it three times before saying:
"It should be right, it's true."
Then his brows furrowed tightly again. The Heavenly Level's "Shadowless Divine Skill" was very important to him, because the "Small Phaseless Skill" that he majored in was only the Earthly Level.
The realm corresponding to the earth-level exercises has only reached the innate realm, and Yue Piaoling became a grandmaster by chance, not relying on the skills to achieve breakthroughs. This also resulted in the lack of a heaven-level exercise. His subsequent training will be
will get stuck.
Although there are few heaven-level secret books, Qin Fan still has a few treasures in his collection, but the key point is that none of them are suitable for Yue Piaoling. Therefore, the appearance of "Shadowless Divine Art" at this time is undoubtedly a timely help.
It was also because of this that Yue Piaoling became more suspicious.
"I know what you are worried about. Last time you had a few moves with Qiao Ba. He must have seen your situation, so he took out this skill book as reward."
After Ah Er coughed, he picked up the tea that had been sitting aside for who knows how many days, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
"Then you should have found out something during this time."
Yue Piaoling looked at Ah Er. Originally, according to the rules, Qiao Ba first should directly name the person who assassinated him, but the other party repeatedly stated that he wanted to talk to Yue Piaoling himself for details.
If it weren't for the fact that "Shadowless Magic" was so important to Yue Piaoling, he would have wanted to shut down the business.
After hearing what Yue Piaoling said, Ah Er nodded and said:
"I did find out something. You should be aware of the recent situation of the Sihai Gang. With the death of three consecutive city lords in the Xuanyang Domain, the label of killing officials has been put on the agenda.
This world has always been Daxuan's world, and the evidence is abundant. The forces that originally wanted to provide some help to the Sihai Gang cannot intervene at the moment.
However, Prime Minister Yu never made any next move. He only leaked through various channels that the imperial court would definitely kill the Sihai Gang this time.
So...the gang panicked and there was chaos inside. At the same time, there was a voice that was recognized by more and more gang members.
It is to introduce a powerful scapegoat to appease the anger of the court.
At that time, when Qiao Ba first issued the commission, things were like this for the time being."
Yue Piaoling said worriedly:
"So has there been some change in the situation now?"
Ah Er nodded:
"This is still the case on the surface, but this important scapegoat has been promoted from a nominal elder to a real elder. Recently, some people even think that it is most appropriate for Qiao Ba to top the tank first."
Yue Piaoling let out a sneer and said:
"This is why the Sihai Gang, who are blinded by profit, can come up with such a ridiculous idea.
If it were our Yefu, if someone dared to let the Lord go up and sacrifice the ego to preserve the greater self, would you believe it or not that the entire Yefu would cease to exist the next day."
Ah Er said silently: "No, at most we will clear out a circle of people who are deliberately causing mischief."
"So someone from the Sihai Gang is also up to something?" Yue Piaoling looked at Ah Er.
A'er continued: "I have received all the information about the Xuanyang Domain. If the entire Chaos Domain is a chessboard, then because of the strong participation of Emperor Zun, the two chess players can no longer make moves.
Then the Sihai Gang is the second chess game that these two parties want to continue unfinished before."
"Yu Cangmiao and King Wuwei?"
"Well, King Wuwei supports the veterans of the Sihai Gang, led by Supreme Elder Xu Guanjing. What they advocate is to push Qiao Ba out first, and shift all the focus of the Sihai Gang to the north, with Prince Wuwei's palace
Form a strong alliance."
Yue Piaoling was silent for a moment and said:
"Xu Guanjing shouldn't be that stupid. Handing over the gang leader will undoubtedly bring shame on the entire Sihai Gang. The conflict between the two parties will not reach this level."
Ah Er took a deep look at Yue Piaoling, and that look seemed to indicate that it was all your fault.
Yue Piao Ling:???
"Ahem, after you and Qiao Baxian fought against each other before, Qiao Baxian used this matter to clean up several powerful elders internally, saying that someone deliberately leaked his whereabouts and deliberately caused civil strife in the gang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You should know something about him. He originally wanted to change the status quo of the Sihai Gang. Now he finally seizes the opportunity to do something special, and it is because of this touching
benefited too many people.
Especially Xu Guanjing."
Yue Piaoling's frown deepened: "But with Qiao Baxian's strength, pushing him out is not a wise move."
Ah Er said helplessly:
"If Xu Guanjing was smart enough, how could he have turned the Sihai Gang into such a horrible state? What's more, it was because Qiao Baxian was too strong that the Supreme Elder chose to cooperate with King Wuwei.
You should be very clear that internal uncontrollable forces are actually more threatening."
After hearing this, Yue Piao Ling nodded with deep satisfaction, and then said bluntly:
"So now Qiao Ba has changed the commission first?"
"No, it's just that I received some uncertain news, and something interesting may happen next." At this point, Ah Er also became more energetic.
But when it came to this, he stopped talking. Instead, he changed the subject very bluntly and said: Gu Long
"I will help you make an appointment with Qiao Ba to meet first. The time and place are tentatively set at Baihe Tower at noon tomorrow. He happens to be in the Xuanhuang Domain recently.
Ahem, I’ve finished talking about the matter here, and I’ll leave it to you next.”
The first sentence was spoken to Yue Piaoling, and the latter sentence was obviously spoken to the trio of old girls who appeared outside the door.
After the three of them entered the hall and saluted Ah Er, their eyes then turned to Yue Piaoling, who was still a little confused.
Yue Piaoling glanced at A'er, who was sitting next to him and was not about to leave, but looked like he was watching a show. He then looked at the black old man, the blood widow and the ghost boy. He really didn't quite understand what was going on at the moment.
"Ahem, Uncle Hei, Sister Xue, and Little Guitou, if you don't stay in your own place, why are you here?"
"Looking for you." The old black man had a cold aura around him. After saying these words, the temperature in the hall seemed to have dropped several degrees.
Yue Piaoling was confused and said:
"Why are you looking for me? Aren't we all doing our own thing?"
The old black man said bluntly:
"I want to know who Emperor Zun is?"
This sentence not only made Yue Piaoling unable to recover for a long time, but also the blood widow and ghost boy who followed the black old man were stunned.
The three of them had exchanged ideas before and reached an agreement on their goals. While they could no longer survive in this chaotic world, it would be nice to stay in the Ye Mansion for retirement, but as killers, they couldn't stand loneliness.
So this time Du Yue Piao Ling was mainly to test the thoughts of Ye Emperor, that is, Qin Fan, but the two of them never expected that Old Man Hei's test would be so direct.
Yue Piaoling's face gradually turned cold: "Uncle Hei, you should know the taboos of Ye Mansion."
When Yue Piaoling said these words, the momentum of the Grand Master burst out instantly. Feng Mo once commented on these three people, who had already broken through the middle stage of the Grand Master.
If you kill a ghost boy, you have a 70% chance of winning.
Killing the blood widow has a 50% chance of winning.
If you kill the old black man, you have a 30% chance of winning.
If it were Yue Piaoling, he could guarantee that if he had the idea of die together, even if he was one against three, he would have a 50% chance of consuming the three of them alive.
If the technique he majored in was changed to "Shadowless Divine Kung Fu", then he would be absolutely sure that he could drag three of them to hell at the same time.
This is the confidence of being a 50-50 man!
Before the old man Hei spoke, Guitongzi took the initiative to stand up and said:
"Old Hei! This is not what you promised before. If you cause trouble, I will definitely help Yue Piaoling beat you."
The Blood Widow took a few steps back. Her stance seemed to be more incompatible with each other, but a few silver needles had slipped from her sleeves into her palms, and the target was obviously the old man.
The old black man sighed helplessly:
"Commander Ye, please calm down your momentum. If I really wanted to harm the emperor, I wouldn't use such a stupid method."
Then he looked at the ghost boy who had joined the opposing camp before the fight started, and the blood widow who seemed to be a neutral faction, but in fact her energy was completely locked on her. His expression became even more depressed as he said:
"What we agreed before was indeed to test Emperor Zun's thoughts. If Emperor Zun intends to compete in this chaotic world, we old bones can also make a move.
But you should know why we joined Ye Mansion. How could we hide it from Emperor Zun with just our little thoughts? So instead of omitting this tedious process, we might as well talk about the topic we are most concerned about directly.
Ye Shuai, I hope you know that the last thing I want is for Ye Mansion to be destroyed, so I will never do anything harmful to Ye Mansion.
I once witnessed the most declining aspect of the killer world, so I understand even more how precious everything is today."
After Yue Piaoling pondered for a moment, he nodded and his aura had calmed down. Then he looked at Ah Er. Based on his understanding of Ah Er, if there was something going on here, Old Man Hei, Ah Er would definitely inform him early.
Qin Fan is right.
"Emperor said that he can take the first step of trust, so let's start with this Ye Shuai mission."
The ghost boy nodded excitedly, and the blood widow also breathed a long sigh of relief. Only the black old man's face was mostly covered by the hood, and no change in his expression could be seen for the time being, but he himself felt more gloomy.
Some.
"Uncle Hei, you're still not satisfied, right? You can't just let the master just take off his mask and jump in front of you.
It’s said that trust is the first step, but this is also the most difficult step.”
Yue Piaoling was a little dissatisfied with Old Man Hei's reaction at this moment.
The old black man shook his head and said:
"I also know something about Ye Shuai's mission, which involves Qiao Baxian and the Sihai Gang, or to be more precise, the Daxuan Dynasty and Wuwei Palace.
According to Emperor Zun's consistent style, he will never waste his excess combat power on unnecessary things. Even if it is a mission assistance that is considered a test, the three of us should not be allowed to join at the same time.
Unless this mission is far more difficult than imagined, or we have more important things to do in this mission."
"Ah'er, what's going on? According to my understanding of the Lord, Uncle Hei's analysis should be correct." Yue Piaoling looked at Ah'er again.
Ah Er looked deeply at the old man Hei:
"Senior Hei, you pay more attention to Emperor Zun than I expected. After all, Emperor Zun has only met you three times and exchanged no more than thirty sentences with you.
In the Ye Mansion, Emperor Zun only personally issued seven missions, but even so, you still got a feel for Emperor Zun's style of doing things."
The old black man replied seriously:
"When people get old, they always like to be alone and think blindly. The old man has already given up defeat when he was not even close to playing chess. But for the future of the young men below, the old man always has to confirm whether Emperor Zun is worth following."
Ah Er did not continue the conversation because he felt that the old man Hei was trying to trick him, and he probably understood what the other person was thinking.
There are always various reasons for following a person. Some value interests, some value feelings, and some are to repay a favor. The black old man wants to explore Qin Fan's ambitions. Only ambitions that are big enough can support a person to keep going.
From the beginning to the end, he actually didn't care what Ye Di's true appearance looked like under his mask, because Ye Mansion was the only one with Ye Emperor's presence. As long as Ye Emperor continued to move forward, Ye Mansion would not stop.
"Okay, let's get down to business now. Ye Shuai's task is to meet with Qiao Ba first and confirm the other party's requirements.
As for the three of you, you are waiting for someone who is likely to appear during this mission."
"who?"
"The Prime Minister of the Daxuan Dynasty turned his hand to Yun Yu Cangmiao."
Blood Widow frowned slightly and said, "This assassination target is a bit too difficult."
Ah Er shook his head: "I'm not asking you to kill him, I'm just confirming one thing."
The ghost boy asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"Confirm whether he has special abilities that are different from martial arts and magic."
The expressions of the three old men in Hei were a little confused, but Yue Piaoling seemed to have thought of something:
"My lord, are you suspecting something?"
Ah Er shook his head: "I don't know, I was just relaying the Emperor's instructions."
