In the Qingmu branch, after Feng Jueyu learned the information about the mineral vein that Hua Ying revealed from Kua Gong, he sat in the cave and began to meditate.
Obviously, Hua Ying told Kua Gong in private about the mineral veins and it must have been Han Zhao's instruction.
A while ago, Han Zhao even came here to express his kindness to him. If Han Zhao wanted to join him, why didn't he let Huaying come to him directly instead of using his work to convey his message to him?
Feng Jueyu thought for a long time, and first of all, he was sure that Han Zhao and Liu Hong were definitely not of the same mind. On the contrary, he wanted to use himself to get rid of Liu Hong.
Since he chose to take sides and did not fully identify himself, Han Zhao must have his reasons.
Is it because of fear?
Afraid of Liu Hong?
But according to Shan Xiao, when the previous commander was still alive, Han Zhao had already stopped dealing with Liu Hong.
Moreover, after the death of the Luo Zhang envoy, Han Zhao could still fight secretly with Liu Hongming for many years, which meant that Han Zhao had a certain degree of confidence in dealing with Liu Hong.
If Han Zhao chooses to side with him, with his current strength and Feng Jueyu, even if he can't win, it will at least be a 50-50 situation. Why should he be so obscure?
Feng Jueyu could guess Han Zhao's intention to deal with Liu Hong, and could also imagine that Han Zhao was using him, but he couldn't figure it out. Han Zhao had many ways to send him the news about the mine, so why did he let Hua Ying do it?
The message was delivered in secret, and he had to guard against the handyman Jin Hong sent later.
After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out what Han Zhao wanted, so he could only call Kua Gong to ask.
"Kuaigong, let me ask you, how does Han Zhao's manpower and power in Qingmu branch compare with Liu Hong and Jin Hong?"
The seemingly stupid Kuaigong scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said: "If we follow the current division of power in the Qingmu branch, Liu Hong will naturally have the most confidants and cronies. After Ma Dezhong died, the lower-level managers of the Qingmu branch will
There are only nine people left, and among them, four are Liu Hong's confidants, and two are Jin Hong's confidants. As for Han Zhao, there are three subordinate stewards who are loyal to him, and among the minor gods in the valley
, and nearly thirty people joined him."
Feng Jueyu carefully took stock of the manpower and power in Han Zhao's hands, and then asked: "What about the little god in Liu Hong's hands?"
"There are more than forty people, and they are still more than Han Zhao in number, but Liu Hong still has Jin Hong. If Jin Hong's people are added, Han Zhao will not be able to compare."
After listening to the music, Feng Jueyu said in confusion: "Kuaigong, there is something I don't understand. Since Jin Hong has always been loyal to Liu Hong, why can Han Zhao still fight with him for so many years?"
Kua Gong replied naively: "Ling Master, I don't really understand what's going on here because I came late, but I heard from the little gods in the valley that Jin Hong was promoted by Liu Hong, and he was still
When he was a little god, he was Liu Hong's sidekick. Later, he was trained by Liu Hong to break through to the realm of a god. After the breakthrough, Jin Hong's strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he slowly became a superior manager. But the little god in the valley secretly
It is said that Jin Hong is not really loyal to Liu Hong. On certain matters, he supports Liu Hong on the surface, but he has different ideas secretly."
Feng Jueyu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You mean, Jin Hong actually has ambitions? He also hopes that Han Zhao and Liu Hong will fight and both will suffer?"
"Yes."
Feng Jueyu frowned and murmured to himself: "Jin Hong is Liu Hong's man, but he doesn't necessarily have the same heart. Han Zhao saw this clearly and was eager to use me to get rid of Liu Hong. But here I am.
From now on, Liu Hong and Jin Hong became of the same mind, because neither of them wanted to hand over the power of the Qingmu branch, and Han Zhao should also be able to see that, well, this is very reasonable."
"But if that's the case, he should show his loyalty to me even more. Why did he send a painting oriole to deliver this information in a evasive and cryptic way?"
Feng Jueyu was puzzled and asked: "Guo Gong, there are rumors outside that the output of the mine is quite high this year, but according to the situation of the mine that Liu Hong originally reported, if he told me that the output this year is not high, or
How big a sin would it be to embezzle part of it privately?"
Kua Gong raised his head and said with extremely clear eyes: "That is an unpardonable crime committed against the master."
Feng Jueyu was happy and continued to ask: "Then do you think Liu Hong dares?"
The boaster lowered his head and said: "Back to the ridge master, I don't dare to speculate on this kind of thing."
"Then you dare." Feng Jueyu understood, and then asked: "Kuai Gong, you said that if Liu Hong betrays the culprit and I want to punish him, will he fight back?"
After hearing this, Kua Gong was shocked: "This... Ridge Master, I really don't know this."
"It's not that you don't know, but you don't dare to say..." Feng Jueyu snorted coldly, and said with a very clear mind: "Strength is respected in the world of cultivation. Although I was appointed by Master Leng, after all, I am not as good as me in terms of realm.
They, even if my strength is not bad, they will not be willing to let me drive them, so they will definitely resist, right?"
After hearing this, the boaster knelt on the ground and said: "Ling Master, if Liu Hong fights back, then the Ridge Master is indeed in danger. Why don't the Ridge Master summon Han Zhao, explain his power, and get his help."
"Yes, the only difference between me and Liu Hong and Jin Hong is that our foundation is shallow. I only have one person, and at most I have you, but you can't help me, so I can only ask Han Zhao. If he helps me,
I have the strength to fight." Feng Jueyu analyzed and deduced himself completely as an ordinary practitioner who could fight against a first-turn god.
"But what if he doesn't help me?"
Kua Gong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, since the news came from Huaying, Liu Hong will definitely not let Han Zhao go if he finds out in the future. If I were Han Zhao, I would have no choice but to seek refuge with the Lord of the Ridge. After all, the Ridge Master
Behind the Lord is Leng Zhangzuo."
Feng Jueyu nodded.
In fact, Kua Gong was right. Although Han Zhao's message was obscure, Liu Hong could definitely find out. He wanted to use himself to get rid of Liu Hong. If he didn't help at the critical moment, how could he get rid of Liu Hong?
The most important thing is that if the matter is exposed, Liu Hong will not let him go.
No matter how clever Feng Jueyu was, he still couldn't guess that Han Zhao had secretly reached some kind of agreement with Liu Hong.
But at this moment, a sudden thought made him suddenly alert.
Whoosh!
Feng Jueyu stood up and suddenly became anxious and said to Kua Gong: "You stay in the cave, I want to go out." After saying that, Feng Jueyu left the Qingmu branch in a hurry.
.
When he came to the foot of the mountain, Feng Jueyu deliberately made a wide circle, pretending to be patrolling the mountains, and got rid of a few little gods who had been following him. After making sure that no one was following him, he came to the foot of the west mountain of Guidang Mountain. Shan Xiao
A hiding place.
The two places are not far from each other, but there is a certain distance.
When he came, Shan Xiao happened to be hiding in the cave to practice.
Feng Jueyu's first words after coming in were: "Shan Xiao, I need manpower now, whether you hire it or invite it, in short, within three days, I want twenty powerful little gods, and two
If you find three first-turn gods, look for them immediately."
After Shan Xiao heard this, he was stunned for a moment: "Lingzhu, three days is too short. Can you tell me what you want to do?"
"You don't have to worry about anything. Do you know that there are gods and little gods near Tianying who specialize in helping people kill people? They should be reputable and honest."
Shan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but we need to talk about it."
"Do you want a sacred stone? How much does it cost?"
Shan Xiao said: "You don't need too much for small gods. For those who are a little more powerful, two hundred low-grade sacred stones per person will be enough."
"Don't be ordinary, but be second to none."
"Then it will be four hundred."
"I'll give you five hundred and find twenty!"
"Okay." Shan Xiao nodded without any nonsense.
"Where is the man of God?"
"There are more gods and men. Generally speaking, the number ranges from three thousand to four thousand."
"Find a few people with good reputation and good strength. I'll give you six thousand each. If you want three, go ahead."
"yes!"
"I'll be waiting for you here. Go and come back quickly."
Shan Xiao understood and left Juechen, but Feng Jueyu really stayed in the cave and just waited for Shan Xiao to come back.
Three days, three whole days, Shan Xiao didn't come back, which made Feng Jueyu scratch his head and head anxiously.
On the morning of the fourth day, Feng Jueyu couldn't wait any longer, so he planned to go home.
But at this time, Shan Xiao came back and brought four people with him.
Shan Xiao didn't know if Feng Jueyu was still in the cave, and he didn't dare to let the four people who came back in. He only said hello before entering the cave.
When he arrived at the cave and saw Feng Jueyu, Shan Xiao quickly said: "Qi Ling Master, the villain is back. The villain was delayed for a while, please punish the Ling Master."
"Did you bring him back?" Feng Jueyu did not blame him.
"I brought it back, and the other party also asked to talk to you in person."
"What's the meaning?"
"They said they would look for minor gods. There are four gods in total, and there is a second-level one. They think the price is not suitable, so they have to raise the price."
"Is there a second-level person? A second-level godman also takes over?"
Feng Jueyu was stunned. After thinking about it, he quickly took out a square scarf and covered his face and said, "Okay, you can call them in."
Shan Xiao took the order and turned around to go out. After a while, four people walked in from outside.
When these four people came in, Feng Jueyu was immediately stunned.
The same expression also appeared on the other four faces, and these four people were also a little confused.
The two parties met and looked at each other for a long time. The old man in the leader laughed loudly and said: "Educator, we are very destined..."
There were two men and one woman behind the old man, looking at Feng Jueyu wearing a scarf with impatient expressions on his face, and a bit of disdain.
When Feng Jueyu saw this, he smiled bitterly, took the initiative to pull off the square scarf, and asked: "Why is it you?"
"Haha, it's easy to say, we just took the job. Seeing someone's great efforts, I just wanted to come and see the world, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Feng Jueyu smiled bitterly again.
That's right, the four people Shan Xiao brought back were none other than Xu Bai, Liusu, Tan Yuan, Zhu Ying... a quartet.
