Zhao Qing looked at this inconspicuous shop, thought for a while and asked: "Does the Qinglong Society and the Invisible Man Organization have a cooperative relationship?"
According to what Zhong Wugu said before, he commissioned Fang Yufei to sell Shaman to the Qinglong Society. However, Shaman was eventually rescued by Gong Jiu and fell into the hands of the Invisible Man Organization. The chips used for the transaction just disappeared. It felt uncomfortable.
How reasonable.
But from another perspective, the Qinglong Society and the Invisible Man have a cooperative relationship, and are even one body, so this matter is a deeply hidden personnel transfer.
Buying a brothel and then rescuing it was precisely to cultivate Sharman's sense of belonging to the Invisible Man Organization.
It was precisely because she was vaguely aware of this possibility that Shaman felt no gratitude at all to her "savior" Gong Jiu.
In addition, Wu Ming and others seem to have no contact with the outside world, but in fact they have a strong intelligence network and are very knowledgeable about people and things outside the island.
The Qinglong Society is a huge and strict underground secret organization. At its peak, its power once penetrated into 63 provinces in the south, seven north and south, every state, every prefecture, every county and every place. Perhaps it was their intelligence.
Source.
"That's right." Shaman replied calmly: "It can be considered a cooperative relationship. Until recently, I didn't know that the little old man's subordinates not only have the Invisible Man Organization, but also the Blue Dragon Society."
"In the white jade capital of the sky, there are twelve cities on the fifth floor. The immortal caressed my head, and I tied my hair and received immortality. The Qinglong Association has five dragon heads and twelve hall masters, all of whom are subordinates of the "immortal", the little old man, and are in contact with each other.
Very few, very hidden."
Shaman paused and sneered: "If he hadn't mobilized a large number of Qinglonghui forces in the capital, and let Lu Xiaofeng and I participate in it, I might not have discovered this matter at all, and discovered what Gong Jiu and the others called
"Save me from danger" is just a complete deception."
Zhao Qing thought that was indeed the case, and interjected: "Do you want to investigate this Qinglonghui stronghold and find out the truth about that year?"
Shaman nodded and added: "Not only to find out the truth, but also to find out the specific situation of the Blue Dragon Society, so that one day the entire Blue Dragon Society can be destroyed in one fell swoop."
"The secret branches of the Blue Dragon Society are all over the world, and they are codenamed with dates. There are as many as 365 locations in total. This stronghold should be the branch of the Blue Dragon Society on the first day of June."
"The twelve hall masters of the Qinglong Society are also called the Twelve Demons of the Qinglong. They sometimes travel around to perform tasks, so they do not have a fixed hall. In other words, the hall where they are located is on the first day of the month.
Or the fifteenth helm."
Zhao Qing said again: "So you want to work with me to destroy this possible hall, capture the leader of the June Hall alive, so as to avenge the past and find out the specific situation of the Qinglong Society?"
"That's right." Shaman pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword and slowly unsheathed the sword, indicating her attitude at the moment.
The cold light suddenly rose, the sword light flashed, leaving faint blood stains on the throats of the "ruffians" next to the store, and quickly broke into the store.
"Who are you? Don't come here! It's easy to talk about anything! Every wrong has its owner, so don't kill me!"
The shopkeeper took one look at the blood-stained sword blade and immediately huddled on the ground with his head in his hands, his voice trembling.
He looked as timid as a mouse, as if he was going to faint from fright at the corpse lying outside.
"There are five thousand five hundred taels of silver notes over there at the counter, and there are thirty-one taels of broken silver in my arms. You can take them all!" He put down his right hand and tremblingly took it out of his arms. p>
However, Zhao Qing could see clearly through the induction of the external infuriating energy that the thing in the arms of this "timid" shopkeeper was not the broken silver in his mouth at all, but a dozen or so sycamore seeds.
Projectiles.
"Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall's Thunderbolt Bullet!" Sha Manbo drew his sword without hesitation, cutting off the shopkeeper's right hand and neck with one strike, causing the bullet to fall to the ground.
The gunpowder concealed weapons of Jiangnan Perak Hall are famous in the world, and they are hardly inferior to the poison-quenching concealed weapons of Tangmen in central Sichuan. Just a few small thunderbolts can blow up hard rocks that are a hundred times a thousand times its size.
If the Blue Dragon Society and the Invisible Man Organization were equipped with a large number of Thunderbolt Hall's firearms, it would indeed be much more difficult to deal with them.
After sensing the air circulation in the store, Zhao Qing opened a secret door in the store and got into it with Shaman.
Behind the secret door is a long and narrow passage going downwards.
Zhao Qing asked as he walked: "Did Ye Gucheng also fall under the control of the Invisible Man or the Qinglong Society? How is he doing now?"
Shaman thought for a while and said: "Some time ago, under the personal guidance and guidance of the little old man, he has joined the invisible man organization. However, I think Ye Gucheng did not really join, and had the idea of contacting him. But
When I saw his indifferent expression from a distance, I really didn’t dare to gamble."
"Ye Gucheng actually joined the invisible people? This...even if it were me, I wouldn't dare to bet on what he thinks."
Zhao Qing sighed lightly, although it is impossible for an aloof and proud person like Ye Gucheng to surrender to Wu Ming, but if it is just "win-win cooperation", it is still possible.
She thought for a while and then asked: "You mentioned before that Wu Ming mobilized a large number of Qinglonghui forces in the capital. Do you have any clues about his purpose of doing this?"
Shaman said: "I'm not sure. The little old man seemed to have only told Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng about the reason for mobilizing forces..."
"Did you tell Ye Gucheng?" Zhao Qing was a little surprised and interrupted.
Shaman nodded and explained: "Gong Jiu didn't look very good that day. He just mentioned a few words and said that the current undercurrent in the capital was mainly arranged by the little old man after being inspired by Ye Gucheng."
"I heard from Gong Jiu that the little old man seemed to intend to pass on the Invisible Man Organization and the Qinglong Society to Ye Gucheng. In order to bring the two of them closer, he actually talked with Ye Gucheng and began to compete in swordsmanship. It is said that this has happened for decades.
For the first time since then, the little old man made an exception and used weapons."
Zhao Qing nodded. No wonder there was such a big change. It turned out that Wu Ming was more influenced by Ye Gucheng than under normal circumstances.
Gong Jiu is very talented in all aspects, but after all, he is a child of the royal family, and his psychology is not normal. He cannot understand the emotions of normal people and the psychology of most people in the world.
In terms of strategy and planning, Ye Gucheng, who is ten years older than him and has really been in the world, is much stronger.
However, Ye Gucheng joined the Invisible Man Organization and held the "World Sword Club" under Wu Ming's eyes. What is going on?
Could it be said that this "Tianxia Sword Association" actually has some instructions from Wu Ming? Is it part of his plan?
Zhao Qing continued to ask: "What is the approximate level of Wu Ming's swordsmanship?"
Shaman thought for a while and said, "Judging from what he taught me about swordsmanship, I should be inferior to you. Gong Jiu has also said before that the little old man's palms and feet are better than his, but
He believes that as long as he reaches the age of thirty, he will be able to catch up in swordsmanship."
However, Zhao Qing did not easily trust Shaman's judgment. It was not that she did not trust Shaman, but that her and Gong Jiu's knowledge was limited after all. It is easy for a low hand to judge a master and lead to bias and misjudgment.
After walking about fifty or sixty feet, another secret door opened, and they saw a big man guarding the door with a surprised look on his face.
"Where are the people who sent you in? No..." The big man was stunned, and tried to grab a short steel fork beside him, but was kicked in the heart by Shaman, and his organs were shattered and he died.
The two of them walked around the big man's body and walked up more than a dozen steps until they finally arrived at the hidden brothel.
The business of this brothel doesn't seem to be very good. Only a few gangsters come in late at night. They obviously come in from hidden entrances elsewhere.
This was something Zhao Qing expected.
According to her inference, the main purpose of this branch of the Qinglong Society was to lock up good-natured girls who were sold by others in brothels to intimidate them, and then transfer them to formal training places through means such as "redemption".
The feeling of salvation cultivates their loyalty.
Therefore, it naturally does not have many customers and a prosperous business like a normal brothel.
Zhao Qing and Shaman quickly subdued the members and customers of the brothel. After searching, they soon discovered a tunnel leading to the core of the branch.
Authentic
At the entrance, two people stood like stone statues. From now on, there will be two people like this standing every dozen steps.
Zhao Qing and Shaman walked straight in as if they were not blocked. The people standing on both sides fell to the ground silently one by one, their lives taken away by the invisible sword energy.
Even though it is located in a prosperous place in the capital, "June 1st" is only one of the 365 disposal rudders of the Blue Dragon Society, so the guard strength here is naturally limited.
At the end of the tunnel, there is a stone wall covered with moss. On the stone wall is carved a green dragon with teeth and claws.
A gloomy chill came over my face.
In the middle of the Qinglong stone wall, there is a copper door that has been opened.
Behind the door is a large stone house with an ancient and unsophisticated form. The furnishings inside are equally unsophisticated and even have a spooky feeling, obviously not often inhabited.
Zhao Qing took a closer look at the masonry used in the stone walls and stone houses. Based on the moss on them and the wear and tear in the gaps, he estimated that they were over a hundred years old.
A secret stronghold built a hundred years ago?
It seems that Wu Ming is not the founder of the Qinglong Society, otherwise, he must be more than two decades old.
After all, Wu Ming claims that Beef Soup is his daughter. Even if she is an adopted daughter, normally the age gap between the two will not be too big.
Six ever-bright lamps were burning on the wall of the stone house, and the lights were eerie, like will-o'-the-wisps.
There were also three ghost-like people sitting on chairs in the stone house, looking toward the door, as if they were waiting for their arrival.
Several large wooden cabinets were placed behind them, surrounding another empty chair. Inside the cabinets were stacks of thick account books.
"Who are you? You dared to invade the branch of our Blue Dragon Society!" The three shouted in unison, and their voices echoed in the stone house, causing dust and sand to rustle from the cracks in the wall. It can be seen that their internal strength is above the second-rate level in the world.
.
Could it be that Wu Ming actually predicted Shaman's rebellion and her whereabouts in advance?
Shaman's face suddenly turned pale, obviously thinking of this.
However, Zhao Qing's expression was calm, he patted her shoulder gently and explained:
"Don't worry. You see there is a small hole in the wall inside the house, with a thin wire running through it. If I guessed correctly, this small hole is connected to the brothel outside, and messages can be transmitted through bells and the like.
The people inside responded promptly."
She looked at the man in the middle and said: "You are the leader of the Qinglong Society on the first day of June? It seems that the leader of the June Hall is not here. Who is his true identity? All the information in the stronghold is placed in those cabinets
"?"
While Zhao Qing was speaking, he mobilized his inner strength and pushed towards the opposite side, causing the three people to have cold sweat on their heads.
The leader's face was calm at first, but soon became gloomy. He jumped up from the chair and immediately pulled out a pair of silver shiny things from his waist. Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were actually pairs of arcs.
Shape sword.
This kind of external weapon is not only difficult to practice, but also not easy to build. There are not many people in the world who can use this kind of weapon. Nine out of ten people who can use this kind of weapon are masters.
Of course, he is also the helmsman of the "June First Day" and the right-hand man of the June Hall Master.
When Zhao Qing was talking about the second half, the pair of curved swords were already flying towards him.
The sword moves lightly, slippery, hard, and fast.
The other two masters immediately pulled out a fine steel dagger and slashed it diagonally from the left and right sides respectively, causing a strange and sharp sound of breaking through the air, which showed how fast the blade fell.
However, their speed is still not fast enough.
The sword in Shaman's hand thrust out, and the sword passed by like a rainbow in the sky, meeting the three people opposite.
The sword light disappeared, and the two corpses lay on the ground. Sharman's sword was resting on the neck of the remaining helmsman.
"Who is the leader of the June Hall?" Zhao Qing stared into his eyes tightly, with a breathtaking sense of oppression in his eyes, as if he could see through a person's heart.
This is a "method of intimidation" that she created after "unifying her spirit and energy" and using mental oppression to make people who are not strong-willed and internally strong not able to control themselves.
Reveal the hidden thoughts in your heart and answer questions.
"Du Tongxuan! The leader of the June Hall is Du Tongxuan!" the helmsman shouted on the first day of June.
Zhao Qing nodded in her heart. The identity of Hall Master June was not beyond her expectation.
