On the ten pieces of paper was the list of Xu Huande's informants.
This is his independent informant independent of the Secret Guard House. They only recognize Xu Huande and not the Secret Guard House.
Xu Huande took out another jade pendant from his arms, only half of it was incomplete, and handed it to Chu Li: "This is a token. They will obey orders when they see the jade pendant. They are all hidden chess pieces. They must be used with caution."
Be careful."
Chu Li took it and nodded slowly.
These informants are not only in Daji, but also in Dali, Dazheng Dafu, and even as far away as Daqiu.
These people have a variety of identities, some are traffickers and lackeys, some are court officials, some are martial arts masters, some are brothel girls, and even turtle slaves. They have different identities and have different levels of information they come into contact with, but they are all loyal.
Those who stand the test can be of great use at critical moments.
Chu Li secretly admired that compared to these chess pieces, he had not laid out enough, and the levels were not rich enough, too single, and the information he could receive was also limited. He needed to learn from Xu Huande in this regard.
On the way, he discussed with Xu Huande how to arrange chess pieces. After hearing this, he gained a lot of insights and gained a lot. He was even ready to try it out in Funiu Mountain.
The two of them were talking while galloping, and the sound of horse hooves did not affect their conversation.
"You have to be careful about Gu Qi, and you have to be careful about Fu Mengshan." Xu Huande said solemnly: "He is ruthless. If it weren't for Gu Qi, he would rely on you. But once Gu Qi gives him any benefits or even pressure, and threatens him,
I guess he will turn around and deal with you with Gu Qi."
"Then how should I deal with it?" Chu Li asked.
In terms of wisdom and careful thinking, he is worse than Xu Huande, but in terms of experience, he is far inferior. Sometimes experience is wisdom.
"Go into seclusion." Xu Huande shook his head and said, "You can't avoid being provoked. After these three fires, Gu Qi will know that he can't do it without you, and he will be honest. If he is favored again, he still wants to do something in his heart.
Thanks to my great achievements, I have blocked Youyou’s mouth.”
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Okay, then I will retreat again."
"Since he is in seclusion, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Mei Second Courtyard." Xu Huande said calmly: "I guess he will not give up. He will poach the corners of Mei Second Courtyard, or even suppress Mei Second Courtyard. Your subordinates will have to undergo a little test.
.”
"You won't hurt them, right?" Chu Li frowned.
He killed the secret guards who assassinated Xu Huande. If Gu Qi also used people from Mei Eryuan as guns, he would easily be in danger.
Xu Huande said: "Then it depends on their wisdom and how to protect themselves wisely."
"Well..." Chu Li laughed: "I understand, thank you Commander Xu!"
"And the Emperor..." Xu Huande hesitated.
Chu Li said: "I know that the emperor is ruthless. This time Gu Qi came here just to test my identity. Once I reveal even a little bit of what I know about this matter, I will be silenced."
"It's best if you understand this." Xu Huande smiled: "You can't treat the emperor as a human being. He is a god, cold-blooded and ruthless."
"How powerful are the gods?" Chu Li said: "Commander Xu has met the emperor, do you know that?"
"This is a big secret." Xu Huande said: "But as of now, I have no scruples. The area within ten feet of the God of Heaven is his own world, and he is the God of this world!"
Chu Li shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
"Within a radius of ten feet around him, his magical powers are useless and his internal strength cannot be replenished. The masters of Heaven and Earth are no different from the masters of the day after tomorrow." Xu Huande shook his head and said: "No matter how powerful the master of Heaven is, he is still vulnerable in front of the gods!"
"In this way..." Chu Li nodded slowly, his heart heavy.
"Don't even think about resisting the emperor." Xu Huande said, "It's like you can't resist fate."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
His desire to become a god became even stronger.
Xu Huande said: "But the emperor will not kill easily. As long as you don't kill the prince and the prince, or anything else, even if the emperor wants to kill you, he won't do it himself. There will be a way to change the world."
Chu Li said: "This time it was Gu Qi who killed Commander Xu. The emperor did not kill you, so there is a glimmer of hope."
"It'll be fine when we get to the imperial mausoleum." Xu Huande said: "Gu Qi's hand can't reach the imperial mausoleum!"
Chu Li nodded.
——
In the evening, Chu Li returned to his small courtyard and asked Zhu Tianhua to greet Yang Zongwen.
After a while, Yang Zongwen came over and stood in front of him with a bow.
Chu Li sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and muttered: "What's going on over there, Commander Gu?"
"No." Yang Zongwen shook his head and said, "It seems like something is brewing. It feels like the calm before the storm."
Chu Li said: "Go and tell Commander Gu that I want to retreat again."
"Yes." Yang Zongwen said hurriedly: "Are you avoiding him?"
"Just avoid it." Chu Li sighed and said: "It's really not worth fighting over, but you can't be like me."
Yang Zongwen looked embarrassed.
Chu Li said: "You told everyone that you should go to Gu Qi. Qin and Jin started fighting and had internal strife. Then they were seriously injured and had to go back to recuperate!"
"... defect to Gu Qi?" Yang Zongwen's expression changed.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "Now is the only way, otherwise you will not be able to resist him, and Qin Jin and others will not believe it even if they want to defect to him!"
"He wouldn't believe us even if we defected to him." Yang Zongwen said.
Chu Li smiled: "Even if he doesn't believe it, he will accept you. By demolishing our Mei Er Yuan, his goal has been achieved...but if he wants you to do things while you are distracted, then let Qin Jin and the others take care of you. Let's do something."
It’s a bitter trick, Qin Jin and others are masters from heaven and earth, and they work hard and achieve great results, so there is nothing he can do against them.”
"...Yes." Yang Zongwen hesitated.
Chu Li said: "As a centurion, I retreated in seclusion at a critical moment and left you all alone. This would be enough to make you angry and disappointed, and then you would seek refuge with him."
Yang Zongwen hurriedly said: "How is this possible!"
Chu Li smiled: "This is very possible, and it will be convincing if you say it. I am not benevolent first. I can't blame you for being unjust. Gu Qi will also be dubious. I have delayed enough time and I will talk about it when I leave the customs."
"When will the centurion be released from seclusion?"
"That depends on luck." Chu Li smiled and said, "When will I encounter a case that cannot be solved, will I be able to leave the prison."
Yang Zongwen smiled.
Chu Li said: "There is another piece of news. The Guangming Holy Sect is planning to assassinate King Ping. Please visit Commander Fu in person and tell him personally about this news. You must avoid others and don't tell others when they are present!"
"Yes." Yang Zongwen responded.
Chu Li waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, how you deal with this Gu Qi depends on your ability!"
"We will deal with it!" Yang Zongwen said with a smile: "Don't worry, Centurion."
"If there is really a problem, send someone over immediately and I will help you." Chu Li said.
"Yes." Yang Zongwen said goodbye with fists in his hands and left.
Chu Li was thoughtful, wondering whether Gu Qi would send people to hunt down Xu Huande again, and if so, whether he would send Qin Jin and others.
This is very possible. The assassination of Xu Huande is so dangerous, but it has already begun. It must not be abandoned halfway. Qin Jin and others are the right people. They are both strong in martial arts and can kill people with swords. They kill two birds with one stone.
