Zhang Rongfang closed the courtyard door, his face darkened.
This trip meant that he had worked as an errand in the Yamen before, otherwise he would most likely have been discovered and wanted by a large number of imperial troops.
Then he ended up with the Black Ten Sect and the imperial court working together to strangle him.
Only then did he deeply realize the benefits of power.
Although he only borrowed the help of the Li family, he would not end up being surrounded and suppressed by the whole city.
After sighing for a moment, he was about to go back to his room to rest.
Suddenly, on one side of the wall, a small red bird flew down gently, stood and chirped a few times.
Zhang Rongfang looked up and stretched out his hand.
The little bird suddenly flew close and landed on the back of his hand.
After taking off the bamboo tube, he carefully poured out the letter and unfolded it for a closer look.
It was a message from Golden Wing Tower City. Through a series of replacements, the little red bird finally flew to him.
Xu Miaotong should also have a copy.
The length of the letter is limited and there are not many words.
'The things have been received, all actions in Tanyang City have been restrained, and they have been completely lurking for a month. Waiting for the follow-up. - Hong Ling.'
"It's actually going to be completely hidden..." Zhang Rongfang guessed the thoughts of the upper level of the Golden Wing Tower.
Now that the money has been obtained, it will take time to use it. Therefore, in order to avoid retaliation for the branches in various regions, all regional branches are required to lurk.
Being completely latent means cutting off all activities, not even exchanging information, just pretending that you have never joined the Golden Wing Tower, and living your life as usual.
This is what is called complete latency.
"It seems that the matter of obtaining the documents from above is likely to be leaked. In other words, it may not be concealed." Zhang Rongfang speculated in his mind.
"Let's lurk if we are lurking, and I happen to be..." Suddenly he recalled what happened last night.
He originally left an empty box at home just to see if anyone would actually attack him.
But I didn't expect that after one trial, something went wrong.
Letting go of the little red bird, he no longer thought about it.
After contacting Qingsu, we will find out how his information was leaked last night.
Logically speaking, his apparent identity is Zhang Ying, he is just a third-rank official, and he should not be targeted.
Even if everyone has guessed that there may be a high-level master behind Zhang Ying, no one will be interested in Zhang Ying's personal belongings, right?
Zhang Rongfang speculated in his mind.
The action last night was too hasty and he couldn't get many clues. He could only wait until later to contact her.
There is also an injury to my right hand. This kind of severe sprain will require at least a month of rest...
"By the way, the Black Ten Sect Snake King is here to track down the murderer...it's also a problem..."
Zhang Rongfang suddenly remembered that so many people in the Black Ten Sect had died one after another, and it seemed that they were all related to him...
Now it's not whether he wants to lurk or not, but he is the one they are looking for...
The Snake King is a man with strong military power, but he is far beyond...
"Trouble..."
But then he thought about it and realized that he had not been exposed. Regarding the Black Ten Sect, at most some people would doubt him, but it was unlikely that they would attack him directly.
As long as there is no evidence, he is involved in the Li family behind his back, and now he is close to the Wanyan family.
I don’t believe that the Black Ten Church would dare to attack court officials just because of the slightest suspicion.
In today's world, if he really dares to take action, he will go against the entire Lingting.
So he just needs to be careful about assassination.

State Governor's Office.
Sun Chaoyue carefully placed the tea in her hand on the table in her father's study.
"Dad, your tea is the Aventurine Tieguanyin I brewed by myself. Your spleen and stomach have been weak lately, so switching to this scented tea can strengthen your spleen and warm your stomach."
"Now that you're interested, Chaoyue, please go back to your room and rest first. Your Uncle Xue and I still have something to say."
Sun Du smiled gently.
"Yes." Sun Chaoyue showed her standard gentle and ladylike smile.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Chaoyue has grown into a big girl. I still remember more than ten years ago, when I held you high and you peed all over me on the spot."
The man sitting opposite Sun Duping on the side smiled and joked.
"Uncle Xue, I'm a big girl now, please don't mention this kind of thing again, it's embarrassing." Sun Chaoyue said helplessly.
"That's right, it's uncle's fault and he deserves to be punished." The man took out an object from his sleeve and handed it over.
"In this case, consider this gift as an apology and give it to Chaoyue."
"Thank you, uncle." Sun Chaoyue was not polite and took it generously.
It was a Pixiu carved from purple jade.
It symbolizes bringing in wealth and treasure.
"Oh... we haven't seen each other for many years, and Ping'er keeps mentioning Chaoyue. How about the two children meet up sometime?" The man looked at Sun Chaoyue appreciatively and suggested.
The candlelight reflected on his face. If Zhang Rongfang were here, he would be able to recognize him at once.
This person was none other than the Snake King of the Black Ten Sect who had just fought against him—Xue Jinghao.
"How is Ping'er studying at Haojin Mountain now?" Sun Du asked intimately.
"It's very good. The teachers value him very much. He also formed a small society in the academy and served as the vice president. He lives a free and comfortable life." Xue Jinghao said with a smile.
"With you as my support behind me. With you in charge of Shuangfeng, the major industries are already rolling in money." Sun Du pointed at him.
"Now, in this world, money and power are both indispensable. Otherwise, no one will value you."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Brother Sun, you also know what I want when I come here this time." The Snake King stopped smiling and said seriously.
"That thing was originally used as bait from above. The secret cultists actually knew it was a trap and had no choice but to bite it. A spiritual connection can bring too many benefits. Now what are you doing to get involved?" Sun Du shook his head. road.
"It's different...this time the secret volume..." Snake King glanced at Sun Chaoyue.
The latter immediately smiled sweetly, bowed, and turned to leave.
After she left, the Snake King continued.
"This secret scroll is the last two pieces of the puzzle that make up the Yin Fu Xi Sheng Jing."
"Yin Fu Xi Sheng Jing??" Sun Du's expression changed slightly, "How credible is the news?"
Gu Rui
"It's absolutely true!" the Snake King said sternly. "The fragments hidden in the Moon Chasing Knife are one of the puzzle pieces of this sutra. Ten statues of gods and ten pieces of sutra silk are indispensable."
"...No wonder...No wonder someone lured the lunatics from the two rankings here...It turns out they were just trying to fish in troubled waters." Sun Governor's face became calm.
To the outside world, he deliberately behaves like he is greedy for money, greedy and greedy, and only knows how to enjoy himself.
But if others really regard him as a simple and stupid person, that would be a big mistake.
Once you become hostile and miscalculate him, your opponent will die without a place to die.
"The people of the Esoteric Cult have taken action upon hearing this, and now they have even attracted the goddess from the black list. When the time comes, there will be a goddess and a silver-faced cicada... This little place is really lively..." Sun Du laughed at himself.
"Speaking of which." Sun Du paused, "Old Xue, are you here for the secret book or for those people who died in your sect?"
"Yes. Everything was fine before, but suddenly this happened, so I came over here." The Snake King nodded.
"I originally took matters into my own hands before, but when I heard that you were coming, I waited a little longer. What are your plans? I don't think we can find any clues through such a city-wide investigation." Sun Du asked in a deep voice.
"Originally, there were no clues, but last night, I was lucky enough to find one," the Snake King said with a smile.
He didn't have a clue at first, but about what happened last night, a person suddenly appeared and said he wanted to provide him with valuable clues.

Bang.
The small box was hit hard on the rocks in the forest, and the bottom collapsed in and bounced to the side.
Zhao Tianming was panting, his face turned red, and he stood by the stone, his eyes bloodshot.
He took such a big risk to get this box and planned to take it to the Tantric Cult, but the result... is this!?
An empty box placed so tightly??
Isn’t this a scam??!
‘There are no clues on Zhang Ying’s side, but Qing Su always runs there, so there must be something wrong. There is a high possibility that there is a handwritten copy of the secret scroll, and this thing must be at Bai Ying’s place.’
‘Bai Ying and Zhang Ying are closely connected, this has been confirmed. So, who is Bai Ying to Zhang Ying? Is he his elder?’
He continued to clarify the logic based on the information he knew.
The esoteric sect has a rigid requirement that he must hand over clues related to the secret book.
He had to take this opportunity...to avenge his original humiliation and power seizure.
‘What if there really is no manuscript copy of the secret scroll?’ Suddenly this thought flashed through Zhao Tianming’s mind.
His expression flickered and he kept thinking.
‘Forget it, I can’t do much on my own, so I might as well expose the fact that the secret scroll was taken away by White Eagle of the Golden Wing Tower. Then let both the Secret Sect and the Black Ten Sect come to trouble him.’
There were too few clues. He couldn't handle it on his own.
The only way now is to expose Bai Ying.
Let the Tantrics find it themselves.
Zhao Tianming's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty. This was not the first time he had done this.
The previous Bai Ying was so incompetent.
As a secret agent of the Secret Cult, he previously leaked information about the building to the Secret Cult, but was discovered by Bai Ying.
So he secretly attracted masters of the secret sect to kill Bai Ying and destroy his body.
Now this time, it's just a repeat.
'Also Qingsu, she should have seen me wearing my armguard last night. If I am suspected... there may be a problem. It is better not to do anything...'
He made up his mind.
The Zhao family is not a small one in Tan Yang, so he must not let anything happen to him. Once something happens, none of the hundreds of family members will be able to survive.
So... for the safety of the family, Bai Ying and Qing Su can only die together!
He knows best how strong the masters of the esoteric sect are. With the idol he obtained from Xiong Wuye, he has initially gained trust. Next, as long as he can persuade...

Mirror Palace.
Xu Miaotong walked into Zhang Rongfang's yard without hesitation and closed the door behind his back.
She wrinkled her nose.
"Are you injured?"
"Yes, internal injuries." Zhang Rongfang nodded and sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard without getting up.
The two often exchange information and are now considered familiar.
"How's it going? How's the situation over there? Do you want help?" Xu Miaotong walked to the opposite side of Zhang Rongfang, and sat down cross-legged two meters away.
"Have you read the letters in the building?"
"nature."
"Just follow what I said above. It's really not the right time to move now." Zhang Rongfang said calmly.
"You have made great achievements this time. Isn't there any reward from above?" Xu Miaotong asked.
"I didn't say it, and I didn't mention it in the letter either." Zhang Rongfang was also confused about this.
"Not mentioned at all?"
"Not at all."
Xu Miaotong thought for a while.
"It seems... there is only one possibility."
"What?" Zhang Rongfang didn't like this kind of riddle.
"I'm just guessing, wait until later, you will know later." Xu Miaotong smiled and began to talk about the recent information from Black Hawk.
The two had a routine exchange for half an hour.
Xu Miaotong stood up and left.
When she reached the courtyard door, she suddenly turned back.
"By the way, is your weight loss method really effective?"
"???" Zhang Rongfang looked confused. He looked at the other person's slender waist. "Of course, you want to lose weight?"
"Well, I always feel that my chest is heavy recently, and it's very inconvenient to practice martial arts..." Xu Miaotong said slightly troubled.
"..." Zhang Rongfang was speechless.
"Also, go back and remember to go to Yunyanju when the complete lurking is over." Xu Miaotong said the last word and turned to leave.
