An Yunmiao took off her veil and looked at him with complicated eyes.
Their eyes met, and they were silent for a long time.
After a while, she said: "Won't you invite me to sit down?"
Zuo Chongming coughed lightly and said in an official tone: "Sect Master An is here, and I am indeed welcoming you from afar."
An Yunmiao pursed her lips and suddenly said, "I'm here to be a spy."
"puff……"
Zuo Chongming spit out a sip of tea and looked at her dumbfounded.
Good guy, are you exposing yourself at the beginning?
To be honest, An Yunmiao's words really made Zuo Chongming lose his mind.
An Yunmiao sneered: "With your wisdom, Lord Marquis, I don't think this matter can be concealed."
"so?"
"So why don't we get straight to the point."
"uh-huh."
Zuo Chongming sighed and motioned for her to continue.
An Yunmiao took a deep breath: "The Liansheng Sect has secretly taken control of Congyun Mansion, and the retreat of the Litian Sword Sect and other forces was also planned by Ji Changyun."
"They have decided to imitate you, secretly doing business with barbarians and demons, purchasing the output of southern Xinjiang at a low price, and then selling it at a high price."
Zuo Chongming was noncommittal: "Continue."
Seeing his calm attitude, An Yunmiao asked slightly in surprise: "Are you not surprised at all?"
"hehe."
Zuo Chongming twitched the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly: "Placing spies and spies to do this kind of thing carefully, the imperial court is more experienced than you."
"……really."
An Yunmiao stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed: "To tell you the truth, I actually took the initiative to come undercover this time."
"Although Liu He secretly suppressed me, he is indeed more suitable to be the sect leader than me. To avoid suspicion... I can't stay in Huanyue Sect any longer."
Zuo Chongming scratched his chin and looked strangely: "So, the Huanyue Sect thinks you are an undercover agent, but in fact you are sincerely seeking refuge?"
An Yunmiao saw his expression: "If I tell you sincerely, will you believe it?"
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "I do not hire people based on loyalty, but only on ability. If you can do things, I will use you."
An Yunmiao frowned and asked: "Aren't you afraid that someone with evil intentions will suddenly ruin your good deeds at this crucial moment after becoming big in secret?"
"It doesn't matter."
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "Never place your hopes on human nature, because human nature cannot withstand temptation or test."
An Yunmiao was a little in disbelief and asked: "Anything that harms you will definitely cause losses to you, so you don't care?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't retaliate."
Zuo Chongming burst into laughter: "It is indeed possible to betray me, but I suggest you consider the price of betrayal before taking action."
"I am not a martial artist, and I don't talk nonsense that would bring harm to my family, so... you understand."
An Yunmiao twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Oh, it's really a blatant threat, not covered up at all."
Zuo Chongming raised his glass: "You have also been a sect leader. You are not a fool who fights and kills in the world. There is no need for smart people to beat around the bush."
The silence lasted for a moment, and An Yunmiao spoke up: "I can sell my life to you, but you have to do one thing for me."
"tell me the story."
"Help me save someone."
"who?"
"Wind Wind Sword, An Yi."
"your dad?"
"yes."
"Where is he?"
"Zhenfu Si Chao Prison, from the capital."
"Oh, good guy."
Zuo Chongming was stunned for a moment and exclaimed: "Your father's crime is not trivial. He is actually qualified to be imprisoned in the capital's prison. It's interesting."
"you……"
An Yunmiao was irritated by his frivolous reaction, stood up suddenly, and glared at him angrily.
Zuo Chongming coughed slightly and raised his hand to see the guest off: "If I can't do it, I won't send you off far."
An Yunmiao did not move, but asked: "Why?"
Zuo Chongming answered calmly: "It's very simple. The effort and reward are not directly proportional. I don't do loss-making business."
The meaning of this statement could not be more obvious.
It's not that he can't do it, but the price is too low.
An Yunmiao gritted his teeth and softened his tone: "I am already in the late stage of the Origin Sea Realm. Given time, I will definitely be promoted to the Star Realm..."
Zuo Chongming interrupted her: "Then you can come back after you are promoted."
An Yunmiao's chest heaved violently with anger: "You, you... as long as you rescue my father, I... I can do whatever you ask me to do."
Although she was mentally prepared, her voice was still a little trembling.
After all, the price contained in these words was too heavy.
But what she never expected was that Zuo Zhongming looked at her for a while and suddenly said: "In terms of identity, are you better than Nan Yuyan?"
"In terms of temperament, are you better than Zhan Xiaobai?"
"In terms of appearance, are you better than Bai Susu?"
"In terms of personality, can you compare to Xiao Yu?"
"I don't mean to belittle you by saying this, but I want to tell you a truth. What you think is precious is nothing more than that in the eyes of others."
An Yun's pretty face turned pale, her eye circles were slightly red, she glared at him fiercely, turned around and left: "...I understand, take my leave."
Zuo Chongming leaned back and sighed: "It seems that you are indeed not suitable to be the leader of the clan. You are too emotional."
As soon as these words were spoken, An Yunmiao was frozen in place.
She turned her back to Zuo Chongming and asked: "You...what do you mean?"
Zuo Chongming knocked on the table: "I didn't promise you, nor did I refuse. If you leave in such a hurry, it's equivalent to ruining the opportunity with your own hands."
"How are you doing?"
"I want you……"
"Haha~, you just said that I am not as good as this or that, but now..."
"Listen to me."
Zuo Chongming helplessly held his forehead and said in a deep voice: "I want you to do your job well, which is what the Huanyue Sect has entrusted you with."
An Yun turned around in a huff and looked at him in surprise: "You mean to be an undercover agent?"
Zuo Chongming nodded: "Well, in a few days you will reply to the Huanyue Sect and say that you sacrificed your life to feed the tiger and won the champion's trust."
"Sacrificing one's life to feed a tiger..."
An Yunmiao thought about this word, feeling a little awkward no matter what.
Zuo Chongming continued: "Then, I will give you some information, and you will give it to Huanyue Sect. Don't worry, this information is all true."
"What information?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! An Yunmiao came back to his senses and stared into his eyes, as if he wanted to see some clues.
Zuo Chongming smacked his lips and said: "Um, about... the business information of this Marquis and Monk Jixi, such as the purchase route, time, etc..."
This made An Yunmiao even more confused: "What does this mean? What is its purpose? Is it to tempt the Huanyue Sect to secretly attack?"
"Don't worry about it."
Zuo Chongming stood up, stretched his body and said: "From now on, you will live in the Marquis Mansion. By the way, remember to learn how to serve others."
"you……"
An Yunmiao's pretty face suddenly turned red. She originally thought that going to bed was just a talk, but looking at Zuo Chongming's intention, it was obvious that he meant to do it.
"Don't agree?"
"No, if, if I do it...will you save my father?"
"uncertain."
"You bastard!"
"But I'll try."
An Yunmiao had tears in her eyes: "I would give up everything, even this body, just to give you a try? Are you looking down on me too much?"
"Be content."
Zuo Chongming disagreed: "At least I have given you a chance to recommend yourself as a pillow. Even if others want to, there is no way."
In fact, his intention in doing this is very simple, which is to benefit players.
As we all know, players are all a group of locusts. They are gathering in Xiyun Mansion now because there are many plots and opportunities here...
But under Zuo Chongming's plan, Xiyun Mansion will fall into a rare calm for a long time to come.
And it just so happens that the Emperor Wu is in poor health, and if he can't protect everything, he will burp at some point, and the world will inevitably be in chaos. If the players don't have a chance here, they will definitely run away.
Once there is no such lovely group of players, Zuo Chongming's strength will increase, and the future development of Xiyun Mansion will be seriously slowed down.
This is not allowed by Zuo Chongming.
So, he thought of this method.
Congyun Mansion is controlled by the Liansheng Sect, Xiyun Mansion is controlled by Zuo Chongming, and both parties are doing business with Southern Xinjiang...
With such good innate conditions, it would be a shame not to introduce the classic ‘camp’ model.
To put it simply, it is a pattern of destroying each other.
(Refer to the classic Warcraft, the grievances and hatreds between tribe dogs and alliance pigs...)
Players in Xiyun Mansion can accept missions to rob caravans transported from southern Xinjiang to Congyun Mansion, thereby gaining reputation, rewards, etc.
In turn, players in Congyun Mansion can also take on the task of destroying the caravan transporting from southern Xinjiang to Xiyun Mansion to gain camp reputation and rewards.
On the surface, this is a collision between two camps.
In fact, Zuo Chongming is left-handed instead of right-handed.
…
In prison.
With a heartbreaking crunching sound, the cell door was slowly pushed open.
Zuo Zhongming walked in leisurely and asked with a smile: "How are you thinking?"
Hu Mei lowered her head hesitantly and said softly: "I...I want to hear first how you plan to save my mother."
Zuo Chongming stared at her for a while and then said: "The Qingqiu Fox Clan has launched such a big battle. It must be the artifact of the Wu Dynasty, right?"
Hu Mei suddenly raised her head and lost her voice in disbelief: "You, how did you know?"
Zuo Chongming said calmly: "As long as you use the artifact to make a fuss, the old fox on Qingqiu Mountain will definitely take the bait."
When it came to this point, Hu Mei did not hesitate and answered decisively: "I promise you."
"very good."
Zuo Chongming threw a small box to her: "The people from the imperial court are coming soon. This elixir can help you regain some strength and prevent you from being too miserable."
Hu Mei looked up and asked, "What should I do?"
Zuo Chongming mused: "If this is not what I expected, the people in the imperial court this time should be internal guards. There must be a way to contact you internally."
"When you contact them, tell them that not long after you arrived at Xiyun Mansion, the Qingqiu Fox Clan noticed your aura and sent a seven-tailed sky fox to take you back."
"You are loyal to Emperor Wu, so you only agreed openly, but secretly you want to use her to eliminate the champion and complete this mission."
"Later, you cooperated with the Liansheng Sect and put on a good show. Unexpectedly, the champion noticed it and was secretly followed by masters of the Dharma Realm."
Hu Mei suddenly understood: "I understand. Then my sneak attack failed. The seven-tailed sky fox came out to save me, but it attracted the siege of Dharma Realm. I took advantage of the chaos to escape..."
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded: "In this way, although you failed in the assassination, you will not be punished to death, and you even showed your loyalty to Emperor Wu."
"By the way, the Liansheng Sect's poisoning also gave Emperor Wu a legitimate reason to take care of me. In the end, it was actually meritorious."
"hiss……"
Hu Mei took a breath of cold air.
She finally understood how exaggerated the gap between humans and humans (foxes) was.
Originally she was responsible for losing her head, but after being artistically processed by Zuo Chongming, when she said it again, she was rewarded with merit...
