"Thank you very much for this meal, Your Excellency Long Hai."
Jing Liang wiped his mouth, showing proper etiquette in his actions.
"If there is anything you can tell me in the future, please tell me as soon as possible."
"Is this the price of breakfast?"
"I treated you to breakfast. I never ask for the bill after eating. This is a deal."
"If it's a transaction, I would still recommend my uncle. After all, I am a man of few words and may not have access to some information."
"How you want to discuss it with your uncle is your business. I just need to be able to get information."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "The reason for trading with you is also very simple, because you are a young man."
"Does this mean I have great potential? Thank you very much for your compliment."
"This is just one of them."
"Secondly, just because you are young, you have your own opinions on some things."
"People in the world will think that such views are naive and one-sided, but I still value them."
"I don't like all the official talk. I would rather cut it all with the long knife in my hand."
Gu Sanqiu gently put down a bottle of pills: "This special healing medicine circulated among warriors is a great tonic for a kid like you. Take half a pill at a time."
"How about, accept this deal?"
"It's straightforward, and it's the type of deal I can't refuse."
Jing Liang took the bottle without hesitation: "I accept it. There is information recently. The people above seem to want to increase the intensity of the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order."
"Practice intensity? What do you mean?"
"Your Excellency has been living outdoors for a long time, so it is normal for you not to know the details of some things."
Jing Liang explained: "Actually, strictly speaking, the implementation of the Eye Hunting Order is carried out according to a set of procedures."
"In other words, the action of recovering the Eye of God actually depends on the person."
"Shogunate soldiers and Inari citizens who have made meritorious service. Logically speaking, these people did not need to hand over their divine eyes before, but it may be different after this."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "You mean, your identity will not be considered when collecting the Eye of God in the future, and even the big shots in Sanfeng will be treated equally?"
"Well, although I have considered what you said, whether this measure is boiling a frog in warm water is still open to question."
Jing Liang hesitated for a moment: "But if it is true, if this move is to be extended to those big shots, there will probably be a reason, and the time span may be very large."
No, not big at all.
Gu Sanqiu shook his head, but the boy in front of him also said one thing right. If the Eye Hunting Order needs to be brought to the head of a high-level figure, it must have a reason and a breakthrough.
In the not-too-distant future, Thomas will be the one that opens the door.
If Brother Long hadn't rushed out and taken away the God's Eye, trampled on the rice wife's law under his feet in public, and then been directly wanted, it wouldn't be long before the little turtle crossing the ice could be reunited with his God.
Eyes say goodbye.
"Well, I want to confirm that you don't have the Eye of God, sir."
"What I practice is the onmyoji that has been passed down from ancient times to this day, and it has nothing to do with the Eye of God."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "I have defeated many guys with the Eye of God, but they were all vulnerable because the power of the elements ruined my own training."
I'll go, it turns out he's a murderer.
Jing Liang was confused. It seemed that in addition to being able to kill Sneaky, this guy was also very strong in normal combat, maybe even better.
"That's good, but to be very realistic, if the Eye Hunting Order continues to be implemented, maybe someone like you can still obtain a high position in the shogunate."
"You don't want the Eye Hunting Order to continue?"
Gu Sanqiu sensed the other party's true thoughts.
"...I'm sorry I can't tell you the real reason, but it's true."
Jing Liang had a bitter look on his face: "I can tell you something. In order to please the big shots above, my family's savings for many years were all gone, just to make my name disappear from the list."
"Although it is not as good as those young ladies and young masters in the inner city, my family used to be considered a well-to-do family, but now, haha."
Jing Liang smiled and opened his clothes, letting Gu Sanqiu see the patches on the lining.
"I haven't been willing to buy clothes for a long time, even old clothes."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at him: "The reward from Tianling is not bad. This is what you just said."
"Yes, that's what I just said."
Gu Sanqiu put out the stove with a gentle press of his right hand and looked at Jing Liang.
"But your life is still so tight, even poverty-stricken. Coupled with what you just said, it is actually enough for people to deduce the truth."
"A direct elder in your family must be the one who has the Eye of God, and for some reason his vitality has been severely damaged. If the Eye of God in his hand is taken away again, someone who is not nourished by the elements may be alive.
Danger."
"Based on the physical qualities you have revealed, that person should be your mother."
"Well, what I said should be considered close to the truth."
Jing Liang froze on the spot, then collapsed on the ground, and the floor even made a muffled sound.
"Mr. Long Hai, do you have any wine here?"
"I found someone to replace it in the wild. The alcohol content may be too high for your small body. This is the wine brewed by a wandering warrior. The texture and taste may not be very good."
This was one of the trophies Gu Sanqiu plundered from the bandit camp.
"No, that's fine."
Jing Liang tremblingly took out the medicine bottle he had just obtained, broke it open, took half of the pill and put it directly into his mouth, then grabbed the wine can and swallowed it in big gulps.
"Cough, cough!"
"Well, it's a normal part of 'taking advantage of alcohol to relieve your mood but being choked until you cough and blush'. You kid has probably never had a drink in a bar before."
"No, I haven't drunk before. My uncle never lets me go to those social events, even if the social events are very helpful for me to become a regular person, my uncle knows my health."
The power of the medicine gradually dissolved in Jing Liang's body, and the thin young man's face gradually became rosy.
"Your Excellency is very smart. You are not like those samurai who only shout with weapons. There is a place called Coral Detective Agency in the city. I think the boss and the president there should have a good chat."
"Not interested in."
"All right."
Jing Liang took a small sip: "Your Excellency, you guessed it right, that person is my mother."
"When I was born, it was called a 'dystocia' from a purely medical perspective. If my mother hadn't been the owner of the Eye of the Water Elemental God, I wouldn't even have been able to appear in this world."
Jing Liang's tone was slightly bitter: "In order for me to survive smoothly, my mother overdrafted her body and forcibly activated a large amount of elemental power, and thus successfully saved my life."
"If it weren't for the nourishment of elemental power, I wouldn't even be ten years old with my physique. However, my mother, who was already overstretched, insisted on helping me take care of my body day after day, until I got rid of the situation where I couldn't take two steps without gasping for air."
