"Of course I don't object," Sikong You smiled pretending to be mysterious: "Because I have already made arrangements. You can just go directly to Long Jianyue."
"What have you arranged,"
"You will know when the time comes," Sikong You wanted to test Ling Cang's adaptability, so he did not want to reveal too much in advance: "I won't tell you before leaving the capital, but you have to pay more attention to things here in Minghai."
"What's wrong,"
"According to intelligence, a big figure from the Illuminati has arrived in Minghai,"
"How big, elder, cardinal, he can't be the knight of the apocalypse, right?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I've been acting more cautiously recently,"
"The one who needs the most attention is not me, but those aristocratic families..." Ling Cang sighed and said somewhat helplessly: "I don't know why, Jiang Wenxuan is a bit rebellious and often goes out without bodyguards; Shen Fanlei said earlier I am still very careful about my life, and I have been alone recently..."
"It's no wonder they are like this. They always live under the supervision of others. Anyone else would feel uncomfortable." After a pause, Sikong You continued: "In addition, the Illuminati's way of doing things is different from the Ju Shui Society. I guess they don't It is very likely to take action directly, so the security measures do not need to be too strict. Having said that, if the Illuminati wants to take action, the bodyguards hired by the family can at most play a role in accompanying them."
"What difference would these two make,"
"To put it simply, Kikusui is eager for quick success and quick gains, and his methods are usually more radical. The Illuminati is relatively gentle, and the plans they make are very long-term. Sometimes they even last three to five hundred years and are completed by several generations." After looking at the time, Sikong suggested again: "Don't go back to school at noon, stay for dinner."
"Please," Ling Cang immediately declared, "I don't have any money."
"I do,"
"You know how to cook?" Ling Cang was startled, because Sikong had quite a classical literati style, and he couldn't stand anyone in the kitchen: "Can the food you cook be eaten?"
"You won't know until you try it whether you can eat it or not." Sikong didn't care about Ling Cang's sarcasm and went straight to the kitchen: "Old man, I live alone. If I don't know how to cook, I will starve to death."
Ling Cang hesitated for a moment and decided to take the risk and try it, so he followed him to the kitchen.
Sikong You prepared a fish and took it out from the refrigerator. He gutted and scraped the scales of the fish. He looked very skillful in his movements. While doing the work, he looked at Ling Cang and said, "The blood poison of Guishan has been cured."
"You can tell,"
"Your complexion is different from the past, and Yintang no longer has a dark aura, but..." Sikong You chuckled and said slowly: "You must have been too busy with the house work lately,"
Ling Cang didn't expect that Sikong You could even see this, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's like you said, if you want to detoxify from blood poison, you really have to rely on chance."
Sikong You didn't continue to ask who Ling Cang was spending time with day and night. He followed Ling Cang's words and asked, "How did you find this opportunity?" , Sikong You nodded thoughtfully: "You should accept that six-phase girl,"
"Forget it," Ling Cang shook his head like a rattle: "Double cultivators... I feel horrible just thinking about it."
"It's scary, for a pervert like you, you should be passionate about it, right?" Sikong You shook his head, and then said: "Even if you don't want to practice dual cultivation, these six women can become effective subordinates. You must know that your biggest The problem is that we don’t have anyone available,”
"That's true,"
"Isn't there a popular saying these days, a younger brother can be a big brother? It makes sense. Even if you are made of iron and can drive a few nails, no matter how powerful you are, it is useless without anyone to help you. Dad's leadership back then was very strong. If he hadn't been patient, Long Jianyue would have been destroyed long ago. By the way, don't take Long Jianyue lightly. Baihua Tuan has a great reputation and has the ability to meet Ju Shui. With their ability to compete, most people have to give face to them once their signatures shine, and the Long family relies on them to dominate all the way from Southeast Asia to the country."
Ling Cang always felt that his father should have many subordinates, but the four divisions in charge of different affairs were the most important. A more likely scenario is that the four divisions did not fight alone, but each led a group of people.
Ling Cang was about to ask who the most capable subordinates of the Fourth Division were, when Sikong You turned on the TV.
There was a small LCD TV in the kitchen. Sikong would turn it on when he was cooking. At this time, he turned on the TV just out of habit. He felt that the room was a little too quiet and had no intention of watching it. However, he accidentally glanced at it. At first glance, I was shocked and immediately turned up the volume.
The TV was broadcasting news, and the content was roughly that the plague occurred in many places in Japan. The host slowly said with a stylized expression: "According to the report issued by the Japanese government, the plague mainly occurred in the western part of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kagoshima Prefecture. In Kochi Prefecture in the northwest of Kyushu Island and the southern part of Shikoku Island, according to incomplete statistics, the plague has killed more than 23,000 people, and more than 60,000 people have been hospitalized for emergency treatment. At present, the cause of the plague is not yet clear, and there is no We know exactly what the disease is, but we are convinced that it is not directly related to the earthquake some time ago. The Prime Minister's Office admitted in a recent announcement that no effective treatment has been found for the time being, and there is no way to prevent the further spread of the plague. Fortunately, the plague is still only Confined to these four areas, there are no signs of spreading to surrounding areas. The international community is providing active assistance, and the investigation team of the United Nations Department of Health has arrived... Just five minutes ago, we just received news from frontline reporters that the Prime Minister had announced Japan has entered a state of emergency,"
"It's true that misfortunes never come singly in Japan. Just after the earthquake, there was a plague." Ling Cang glanced at Sikong You and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Sikong didn't answer. He loosened his hand and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a clang. After a long time, he slowly turned his head to look at Ling Cang and said in a strange tone: "Something big happened."
"Are you afraid that the plague will spread to our country?"
"No, it's more terrifying than this," Sikong You slowly shook his head and asked word by word: "Let me test you first, who owned these four places where the plague occurred during the shogunate period in Japanese history? Jurisdiction,"
"Let me think about it..." Ling Cang thought for a moment, and then slowly replied: "Historically, the western part of Honshu Island belongs to the Choshu Domain, Kagoshima County belongs to the Satsuma Domain, Kyushu Island belongs to the Hizen Domain, and Kochi County belongs to the Tosa Domain. That’s not right… isn’t this the overthrow of the four powerful feudal lords?”
"You are good at history and geography," Sikong nodded approvingly: "You are indeed the son of Ling Yang,"
"In modern times, the four powerful feudal lords were the core forces behind the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the Meiji Restoration. They were also the source of external expansion and militaristic ideas. The notorious Ito Hirobumi and Nogi Nogi Nogi were both from the Choshu Domain, and these people in the Choshu Domain directly He inspired and led later militarists, such as Tanaka Giichi who proposed the Tanaka Memorial,"
"Exactly, Japan's right-wing ideology originated during the Meiji Restoration period, and it was located in the four powerful vassals. For many years, these four powerful vassals have been the headquarters of the Kikusui Kai..." Taking a deep breath, Sikong You said again Slowly spit out: "Enterprises and social organizations in these four places have more or less connections with the Kikusui Club. At least half of the members of the Kikusui Club are from these four places."
"It doesn't seem like a coincidence. Could it be..." Ling Cang asked thoughtfully: "This plague is the revenge of the Illuminati."
"Yes, the Illuminati will use this to severely damage the Ju Shui Society and avenge the past." Nodding, Sikong You said with certainty: "You should remember that I once said that there is a Plague Knight among the Knights of the Apocalypse, who has a kind of Microorganisms control abilities and can spread diseases,"
"You don't want to say that the apocalypse has come, do you?" Ling Cang shook his head in confusion: "It would be too arbitrary to make this conclusion based solely on a plague."
"No, this is not arbitrary," Sikong You told Ling Cang categorically: "The news said that there is no cure for this plague. It only spreads in specific areas and does not spread outside... Only the Plague Knight can do this,"
"What do you think will happen next? He doesn't want to wipe out the entire Japanese island, right?" In Ling Cang's impression, the Apocalypse Knight is a powerful and terrifying existence, which seems to be far away from his own life for the time being.
"Probably not..." Sikong You slowly shook his head: "After severely damaging the Ju Shui Club, they should stop, but what other things they will do next...it's hard to say."
"Oh," Ling Cang was a little disappointed, and at the same time a little relieved. Disappointed because the Apocalypse Knight was too soft, and relieved because he didn't have to worry about Wang Yuefeng being poisoned. Although he didn't have much contact with Wang Yuefeng, Ling Cang felt that he was very interested in Japan. People can't generalize, let alone such a beautiful woman.
Regardless of other considerations, Japan still has a lot of beauties in this country, and it would be a pity to completely destroy them.
"The current Illuminati is much more moderate in their approach and is no longer as radical as in the past. If the time is not ripe, they will not seek to make much change in the world. This is why they have never done anything for so many years after the end of World War II. It was such a big move. Sikong You had similar thoughts to Ling Cang. The Knights of the Apocalypse were busy working on the seventh seal and seemed to have no time to do anything. However, what people did not expect was that the Apocalypse would come so soon. Although at the moment It's in Japan, who knows when it will land in China.
"This is the best," Ling Cang said with some relief, "I still have enough time to improve my abilities."
"No," Si Kongyou shook his head: "In some ways, the sooner you face them, the better, because while you are improving your abilities, they are not standing still."
