Chu Li sat under the plum tree in Mei Er Courtyard, sipping tea.
The breeze was blowing softly, and shouts and shouts could be heard from the distant martial arts training ground, and Dong Qifei shouted from time to time.
Yang Zongwen stood in front of him with a stack of files and reported.
Although rumors were flying, almost the entire Daji Wulin knew that the Jueyun Baoji was in the hands of Taihua Valley, but no sect took any action.
They were all waiting for others to rob Taihua Valley before they could rob it themselves.
The root of the problem is that Taihua Valley is located within the territory of Yiguo Gongfu.
Nowadays, Duke Yi's Mansion has an astonishing reputation. It has been married to Duke Huai's Mansion and Prince An's Mansion. It can be described as a behemoth. If any sect causes trouble in the territory of Duke Yi's Mansion, the consequences will be ugly.
These martial arts figures are easily impulsive but not stupid. Seeing this situation, whoever comes forward will be unlucky, so they all shrank back and kept calm.
Later, someone spread the news that Duke Yi's Mansion had obtained the secret, some said that the Shaoling Sect had obtained the secret, and some said that other sects had obtained the secret. All kinds of news flew around the sky, and people were a little hesitant. In case someone was framed, Taihua Valley did not
Any tips?
If this is really the case, Duke Yi's Mansion will definitely not spare those who take action.
With this thought, people became less and less willing to take action against Taihua Valley.
And the most critical thing is that people don’t know the exact location of Taihua Valley.
No one in the huge martial arts world knows that Taihua Valley seems to not exist in the world. There is no trace at all. Even if you want to kill him, you can't find the door.
"Who said martial arts masters are stupid, they are really stupid." Yang Zongwen put down the papers and smiled at Chu Li: "They are all very smart."
"If your brain is driven by greed, no matter how smart you are, you will be stupid." Chu Li said lightly: "Can you find out who released the news?"
"It's difficult." Yang Zongwen smiled bitterly and said, "It's too easy to spread a rumor."
Chu Li said: "These guys are really unstoppable. How about the Shaoling Sect?"
"Some people have already gathered in Tianxing City, not far from the Tsung Ling Sect." Yang Zongwen said: "It seems that they will take action. Tong Ling Sect is not like Taihua Valley, and Jiguo Gongfu is not as big a deterrent as Yiguo Gongfu."
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Zongwen said: "Centurion, I think this wind is about to pass."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Yang Zongwen shook his head: "So far, no one has actually seen the Jueyun Baoji. They have only heard its voice but not seen its shadow. No one is a fool and will not be fooled for too long. If there is no secret book in a few days,
, I’m afraid people will disperse.”
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Chu Li said.
Yang Zongwen said: "From the current point of view, there are fewer and fewer people chasing the Jueyun Baoji, and news is flying all over the sky, saying anything. Everyone's vision is also confused, and the energy is vented."
"Someone must be very disappointed." Chu Li said lightly.
Yang Zongwen nodded lightly.
Dong Qifei strode over, cupped his fists and said, "Centurion, Centurion Liu has invited you."
Chu Li looked at him: "Hmm -?"
Dong Qifei said: "Just now, a secret guard from Ju Wuyuan came over to announce that Centurion Liu Chuan has invited me."
Chu Li pondered for a moment: "Well, I'll go over and have a look."
Yang Zongwen hurriedly asked: "Why did Centurion Liu suddenly...?"
The relationship between the centurion and the other centurions was very cold, and he almost never interacted with them. Whenever anything happened, he and the Dong Qifei Ning brothers ran errands, and the centurion did not come forward in person.
Chu Li said: "Just go and take a look and you will know."
Yang Zongwen hurriedly said: "Centurion Liu Chuan is a man with a strong personality and acts domineeringly, but there are subtleties in his roughness."
Chu Li nodded and walked out.
Yang Zongwen followed him out uneasily: "He acts unscrupulously and is not afraid of offending others. Centurion still has to be careful."
Chu Li laughed: "I just don't know how to get to Ju Wuyuan, please take me there."
"Okay." Yang Zongwen said hurriedly.
Dong Qifei followed carelessly, curling his lips, "This old Yang is just careful, why should he say so much? Who is not afraid of the centurion now!"
The three of them came to a large courtyard, which was one-third smaller than the Mei Second Courtyard.
After knocking on the door and going in, I saw that the courtyard was in full swing. More than sixty people were practicing martial arts. The noise was endless, which was completely different from the emptiness of Mei Eryuan.
There are only a dozen or so people in the huge courtyard of Mei Eryuan, which makes it look empty and not popular.
There was a guard at the door. When he saw Yang Zongwen and Dong Qifei, he smiled and led them to the living room.
Chu Li entered the living room, while Yang Zongwen and Dong Qifei stayed outside.
Liu Chuan stood up, stepped forward with a smile and clasped his fists: "Brother Chu, come on, please come in!"
Chu Li cupped his fists and smiled: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry for bothering you."
"I really wish Brother Chu could come over." Liu Chuan invited Chu Li to sit down.
There were only two people in the hall.
Soon a maid served tea.
The two of them picked up the tea cup together and took a sip.
Liu Chuan put down the tea cup and coughed lightly: "Brother Chu, please come over. I have something I want to talk to you about."
Chu Li smiled and said, "Brother Liu, please tell me."
Liu Chuandao: "We who are secret guards all have our own spies."
"Yes." Chu Li said with a smile: "If you don't have an eyeliner, you are blind. You can't rely entirely on the people in the house."
"Exactly." Liu Chuan said with a smile: "Zhuge Feng from Funiu Mountain is my spy. He can be regarded as a friend I made when I was young."
Chu Li smiled in surprise and said: "Brother Liu is very capable. Funiu Mountain is a first-class sect and can make the mountain master an informant. No wonder Brother Liu has risen to the top."
"Haha, you are much worse than Brother Chu." Liu Chuan waved his hand and smiled.
Chu Li shook his head: "It's just a coincidence, the foundation is not stable."
"If it were elsewhere, Brother Chu, if you suddenly rose to a high position at such a young age, your foundation would indeed be unstable." Liu Chuan said with a smile, "But our Secret Guard Mansion is different. We rely on real ability and there is no trickery. Although you are young,
, but has a deep foundation that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The position of centurion is well deserved."
His words were not flattery.
What is the basis for meritorious service in the Secret Guard Mansion? The first is information, and the second is ability. Information is the first priority. If you have more information than others, you will have an advantage over others if you have more eyes.
Needless to say, Chu Li's abilities were far superior to those of ordinary people. It was his many eyes that were the most terrifying.
Only the Duke's Palace was his spy, which was far superior to other secret guards. In addition, there was also the Palace's spy, so it was definitely not impulsive to lead him to become a centurion.
Chu Li smiled and said: "Brother Liu, thank you."
Liu Chuan sighed: "There is one thing that makes me feel conflicted. It's hard to make a choice. One is our friendship for many years, and the other is my colleagues in the same government. I don't want to lose my own informant, but I also don't want to see my colleagues suffer. Alas..."
He shook his head as he spoke.
Chu Li said sternly: "Brother Liu, can you teach me? Brother Liu, don't worry, I won't just leave because I got something cheap, I will pay for it later!"
Liu Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really can't say more."
Chu Li frowned: "I have nothing to do with Funiu Mountain, how could Funiu Mountain harm me?"
Liu Chuandao: "Since ancient times, beauties have brought disasters, and the words of the ancients cannot be wrong... Zhuge Feng in Funiu Mountain retreated, and his son Zhuge Tian made the decision. This Zhuge Tian fell in love with the Lord of Mei Valley in Taihua Valley."
Chu Li's eyes flashed and he smiled.
Liu Chuan felt awe-struck, his own cultivation was not as good as his!
