"Of course I cannot make decisions on behalf of the city lord." Chen Tian said calmly and calmly, "But I know that the matter of purchasing Qingyuan, the agency, will inevitably be fruitless."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Liu Yiyi frowned.
Chen Tian explained while making medicine: "Everyone knows that Qingyuan is the iconic product of Yongtai City and represents the latest generation of elite troops."
"If Gu Zhi really seeks Qingyuan, the outside world is likely to figure out the deeper meaning and think that Yongtai and Gu Zhi have a deep connection."
"Is this considered a reason?" Liu Yiyi frowned even more and said suspiciously, "This headquarters has no contact with Yongtai City, so how can it be related?"
This is correct.
Gu Zhi has always kept a low profile, hiding in Gusu City and keeping silent. Even if he sells relevant information, he only pays attention to the money and does not look at the target at all.
If we insist on saying that Gu Zhi has something to do with Yongtai City, it actually does. Yin Jianye, the young master of the Yin family in Cangxi, paid a private visit incognito on the occasion of the Dragon King's birthday.
The accompanying Governor Tang carried out an espionage operation that night and burned down Qianji Pavilion's workshop. Such a commotion in Yongtai City naturally attracted the attention of countless forces.
Later, Gui Deng cleared the scene and captured many spies, including Gu Zhi's spy.
But then again.
The scene was extremely chaotic at that time, with various forces present. Compared to the large numbers of Liusha Chamber of Commerce and the Lin Ye family, Gu Zhi's little bit of information was not worth mentioning.
Chen Tian naturally knew these things, but he did not say it explicitly. Instead, he discussed the matter and said frankly again:
"It is true that Gu Zhi has little connection with Yongtai City, but when the outside world sees that Gu Zhi has obtained Yongtai City's elite equipment, is there really no distracting thought in his heart?"
"not to mention."
"My sister, Liu Guxue, is the chief deacon of Shanglinyuan Zhifartang. She is very powerful. Gu Zhi calmly evacuated Gusu City. Do the outside world really think that this move was not instigated by Yongtai City?"
That’s all the words have been said.
The profound meaning contained in it has become clear.
Liu Yiyi thought about it carefully and quickly clarified the underlying logic. To put it bluntly, Yongtai City would not protect Gu Zhi and bear uncontrollable risks just because of greed for a few taels of silver.
Let’s make it simpler.
The bargaining chips that Gu Zhi put out were not enough to persuade Yongtai City to speak out. Of course, Yongtai City also considered this to protect its own reputation, so it did not deal with mountain monsters and water monsters.
"There is no way to heaven, and there is no way to the earth." Liu Yiyi sighed.
She sat back on the stone bench sadly, staring blankly at the alchemy tripod in front of her, and remained silent for a long time.
Chen Tian didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply talked about other things: "Gu Zhi has been running Gusu City for thousands of years. I must have a lot of belongings with me when I travel far away. I wonder how Miss Liu will arrange them?"
"Waterway." Liu Yiyi muttered, "The Anjin Ferry used to be in the hands of Linjiang City, so it was bound to be difficult to pass, but Linjiang Zhao's Xuanjia Zhenzi Camp was mostly damaged in the Battle of Makino, and now it will definitely be able to pass by easily.
Already."
Chentian nodded.
The cost of the land route is very high. Just the convoy to transport the supplies is estimated to have to be spread out for more than ten miles, and Guzhi lacks strong force. So crossing the mountains and mountains, wouldn't it be easy to become a fat man in the eyes of others?
In comparison, the waterway is obviously much more reasonable.
The Changhe River flows through Muye and merges into Zishui, then connects with the Luosu River, and then passes through the Anjin Ferry to the south to the broader Hengjiang River. This is the most worry-free way to leave the northern region of Cangxi.
At the same time, the big ship can also carry the body of the plant elves, and is escorted by the water demons, which is obviously much safer.
The plan was indeed good, but Chentian suddenly realized a problem and couldn't figure it out.
"Miss Liu left Gusu City, crossed the Hengjiang River, and reached the middle region of Cangxi, but where did she end up?"
"I have a plan for a long time." Liu Yiyi took a sip from the tea cup, "A hundred years ago, I met an eminent monk who was determined to travel thousands of miles around the world and promised to find a paradise for me."
"Recently, he just sent news that he has found an excellent place near Fuming Mountain in southern Xinjiang, where the four seasons are favorable and spring and autumn are distinct."
An eminent monk?
Fuming Mountain?
When Chen Tian heard these two keywords, he frowned deeply and suddenly remembered that the giant elephant barbarians who attacked Xieyue Valley two months ago were from Fuming Mountain.
Chief Wutu also seems to be related to an enlightened monk, who is as close as master and disciple, as father and son.
"Could it be that the eminent monk that Miss Liu mentioned was Li Yunzi?"
"Mr. Shang has also seen him?" Liu Yiyi was surprised, "Then did he give you blessings and opportunities?"
Chen Tian was startled. He always felt that this Li Yunzi was a bit unreliable and looked like a magician who did all kinds of deception.
"I've never seen him, but I've heard of his name, and it's very strange." He waved his hand and suddenly stared closely at Liu Yiyi, "I want to understand one thing."
Liu Yiyi put down her tea cup subconsciously: "But it doesn't matter."
"The various mountain monsters and water monsters that Gu Zhi belongs to are constantly degenerating and almost no longer retain their human form. Is it because Gu Zhi took out a large number of spiritual stones and paid tribute to Li Yunzi?"
"You..." Liu Yiyi was stunned. "Miss Liu has been investing in Gusu City for thousands of years. She always has savings. There is no way she can be penniless." Seeing her reaction, Chen Tian knew that he had guessed the whole story, so he added, "
Unless major changes occur and emergency reserves have to be mobilized,
Prepare."
Liu Yiyi's right hand was trembling a little. She was shocked by Chen Tian's keen insight and corrected her: "I did use up all the spiritual stones to ask Yunzi to find a paradise in the world, but this is just a commission, not an offering."
Even though Chen Tian had already had a premonition, he was still extremely surprised when he heard Liu Yiyi admit that he had exhausted the spiritual stones.
Lingshi is not only a hard currency more precious than gold and silver, but also the lifeblood for the existence of monsters and monsters under the Guzhi sect, and Liu Yiyi actually handed it over directly to a so-called eminent monk?
Chen Tian was silent.
He didn't know whether to describe Liu Yiyi as desperate or foolish, but it made him have mixed feelings.

"Miss Liu."
"Um."
"Do you know how far away is Fuming Mountain in southern Xinjiang?"
"oh?"
"An elite group of giant elephant barbarian soldiers was ordered to break camp. They went through cold winter and scorching heat along the way, which took seven months, and finally arrived at the Makino tidal flat in late autumn."
"No matter how far it is -" Liu Yiyi picked up the tea cup, raised her head and drank it all, as if she drank half a cup of strong wine, "no matter how far it is, it's only a thousand miles away."
Having said this, Chen Tian knew that he could no longer persuade Liu Yiyi, so he simply said frankly: "Why on earth does Miss Liu have to leave Gusu City?"
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will always get tired of it after looking at it for a thousand years." Liu Yiyi smiled and said freely, "The world is so big, just walk around."
Chentian was silent.
Of course he knew that these words were 90% ridicule and 100% true. He also knew that Liu Yiyi did not want to reveal the truth at all, so it must be difficult to say.
"It makes sense. The world is so big, so we should definitely walk around." Chen Tian was very sensible and did not ask further questions.
He made hot tea for Liu Yiyi and did not mention it again. It happened that the elixir in the square tripod had been prepared, so he gestured with his left hand to Liu Yiyi to come forward and inspect the quality.
As soon as Liu Yiyi saw the elixir, her eyes suddenly lit up and she exclaimed:
