"But one thing I'm curious about is how King Li was sure that the changes in the Demon Cave were also caused by me?"
Admit it, admit it, some things still need to be clarified.
"I'm not sure."
"Um???"
"But you just admitted it to yourself."
"..."
Wang Tiezhu had a dark look on his face. He never thought that even though he was so wise, he would be set up by others.
"If King Li has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."
After Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, he clasped his fists and left.
He always felt that Li Qingcheng had some purpose, but after all, it was his territory and he couldn't force him to question him. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
"Sect Leader Wang, please stay. Now that we have confirmed that those two things were done by Sect Leader Wang, I have a request. I hope Sect Leader Wang can help."
Li Qingcheng stopped Wang Tiezhu who was about to leave and told him his purpose.
"King Li can even monitor every move of the Heavenly Demon Leader and the Divine Emperor City. Is there anything else you need my help with?" Wang Tiezhu said with a strange expression.
"Sect Master Wang doesn't know something. Gu's intelligence department is only good at collecting information and not good at fighting. And if Gu wants to ask Sect Leader Wang to help, there will probably be fierce battles." Li Qingcheng said with a slight smile.
"A fierce battle?"
Wang Tiezhu raised his eyebrows, "If I agree, what benefits will I get?"
"The location of the passage between the two realms."
Li Qingcheng's indifferent words made Wang Tiezhu stunned on the spot. He never expected that he would find clues in Xuanyuan Kingdom that he had not obtained in the Demon Cave and the Divine Emperor City.
But the question is, how did Li Qingcheng know?
Does he also know about the ascension?
After thinking for a long time and unable to come up with a reason, Wang Tiezhu suppressed the surprise in his heart and chuckled softly: "It seems that King Li's request is quite difficult, otherwise he would not use this news as a bargaining chip."
"I don't know whether the request is difficult or not. If the process is simple, I should just win the friendship of Sect Master Wang. If the process is difficult, then using this information to exchange Sect Master Wang's hand is worth the money."
Wang Tiezhu was silent for a while after hearing this. What Li Qingcheng said was indeed reasonable. Finally, he said helplessly: "I...can't refuse. Please tell King Li carefully."
"Don't worry, I've already prepared a banquet for Sect Leader Wang. Let's talk while eating."
banquet?
Wang Tiezhu was looking forward to seeing Li Qingcheng's true appearance.
However, to Wang Tiezhu's disappointment, while eating, the part of Li Qingcheng's mask below the nose automatically disappeared, revealing the lower half of his face that looked quite ordinary.
Later, during the banquet, Wang Tiezhu learned from Li Qingcheng the content of the "request" mentioned by the latter.
In fact, among the huge crowds of people who came to Xuanyuan Kingdom, most of them were businessmen.
The rest are either low-level monks who can't make it in the northern continent and want to go to the southern continent to look for opportunities.
Or because he lacks some advanced materials, he needs to go to the southern continent to find masters.
There are very few people who really want to live in the Southern Continent.
After all, compared to the Northern Continent, the living conditions in the Southern Continent are too harsh. If their ancestors had not lived in the Southern Continent for generations, the locals who have long been accustomed to the environment would not be able to stay in the Southern Continent for a long time.
Therefore, a large space on each Black Turtle Treasure Boat is used for storing goods, and most of them belong to Xuanyuan Kingdom. After all, the Black Turtle Treasure Boats belong to other people, and there is nothing wrong with them doing this.
As the largest north-south freight company in the entire Xuanxuan Continent, Xuanyuan Kingdom's name is known to everyone. Therefore, although Xuanyuan Kingdom's caravan goods are of the highest quality, they have never encountered robbers.
However, three months ago, Xuanyuan Kingdom's caravan in the southern continent was repeatedly attacked by an unknown force, not to mention the loss of priceless goods.
What's important is that almost every caravan that was attacked had no survivors, and the murderers' methods were extremely cruel.
Li Qingcheng sent additional spies to the Southern Continent for this purpose, but the results were unsatisfactory. The environment in the Southern Continent itself was complex and changeable, and the murderer was well hidden, so very little useful information was collected.
There are not many high-level monks in Xuanyuan Kingdom. Sending one or two people there will not have much effect. If more are sent, the safety of Xuanyuan Kingdom's headquarters cannot be guaranteed.
But he couldn't let his caravan be attacked. When Li Qingcheng was in trouble, Wang Tiezhu happened to come to Xuanyuan Kingdom.
After listening to Li Qingcheng's description, Wang Tiezhu thought secretly in his heart.
Having the guts to attack Xuanyuan Kingdom's caravan and being able to evade the mysterious forces of Xuanyuan Kingdom's powerful intelligence department, it seems that the Southern Continent is not at peace either.
"So King Li hopes that I can find out the true identity of that mysterious force?" Wang Tiezhu asked.
"No."
Li Qingcheng shook his head, "If possible, I hope that Sect Leader Wang can destroy it directly!"
Wang Tiezhu nodded when he heard this, expressing his understanding. After all, if it were him, he would do the same thing.
"I understand, what should I tell King Li if I have a problem?"
"Qu Hou will return to the southern part of Xuanyuan Kingdom with Sect Master Wang. He is in charge of all affairs in the south. If Sect Master Wang needs to know anything, just ask him."
Seeing the Prime Minister Quhou nodding to him, Wang Tiezhu thought to himself, this is why Xuanyuan Kingdom rarely set up the position of Prime Minister. He almost forgot that Xuanyuan Kingdom also has territory in the southern continent.
"Okay, I'll set off in five days," Wang Tiezhu said.
"that……"
Li Qingcheng's tone suddenly felt strange, "Actually, Sect Master Wang can leave tomorrow..."
Wang Tiezhu was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Qu Hou, who opened a pair of dead fish eyes and said with a stiff smile: "I made a little joke with Clan Master Wang earlier, I hope Clan Master Wang doesn't mind."
Veins popped up on Wang Tiezhu's forehead, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed unconsciously.
"Why would I mind, hahahaha!"
Looking at Wang Tiezhu with a distorted face and a ferocious smile, Qu Hou still looked like he wanted to be beaten.
…
After seeing off Wang Tiezhu and the others, Li Qingcheng stood at the door of the hall and looked out, while Qu Hou bowed behind him and waited.
"Uncle Qu, what do you think the king is doing?"
After a while, Li Qingcheng suddenly turned around and asked. His voice was completely different from before. It was crisp, gentle, refreshing, and it was clearly a daughter's voice!
Qu Hou calmly lowered his head and replied: "Young lady is the king of Xuanyuan Kingdom, so she naturally does an excellent job."
"Oh! Uncle Qu, you know how to tease me!" Li Qingcheng stamped his feet, with a hint of shyness in his voice, completely different from his previous serious appearance.
"Obviously Uncle Qu is in charge of Xuanyuan Kingdom, I'm just giving him a name." Li Qingcheng looked outside the hall again and reached out to take off the silver mask on his face.
"I won't bring this with me. It's so stuffy that I can't breathe."
The breeze blew slightly, blowing a strand of black hair beside Li Qingcheng's ear.
Wang Tiezhu never imagined that under that silver mask, there was actually a peerless face with pink makeup and jade, a moonlit face!
