"How does this have anything to do with Yu Niang? You stay at home every day, so naturally you don't know what is happening in the outside world."
"Ms. sir, does this have a big impact on you?"
"It's just that everyone has some doubts about how much influence I can have as a small official."
Chu Ming responded to Yu Niang with a relaxed expression. Seeing that he did not look sad, Yu Niang was relieved.
As expected, not long after the investigation elders from the Song Kingdom returned to the sect, Taiyi Sect sent a large number of elders and disciples into the three kingdoms of Song, Wei, and Zhao.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge harvest. It turned out that the inner sect of the Black Clothes Sect issued a sect mission to subvert the political power of the three countries and secretly transfer the Northeastern region to the control of the Black Clothes Sect.
The Song Dynasty, where traces of the Black Clothes Sect first appeared, naturally became the focus of Taiyi Sect.
Zhuge Shenhou, who successfully replaced the power of the Song Dynasty, has also become the focus of Taiyi Sect's attention.
After careful investigation, all doubts about Zhuge Shenhou were eliminated, and there was only one question left: how could a promising King Wu be interested in the Song Dynasty.
The leader of the Taiyi Sect this time is Yu Qianfang, the Sixth Elder of the Inner Sect, a powerful figure in the Martial Emperor’s Great Perfection.
"You broke through to King Wu because you got the opportunity. We are not interested in your own secrets, but why you are interested in the political power of the Song Dynasty."
Facing the powerful Martial Emperor of Taiyi Sect, Zhuge Shenhou naturally showed due respect.
After he first saluted, he said, "Replying to the elders, I was originally an ordinary citizen of the Song Dynasty. Due to opportunities in my early years, I became a warrior. Therefore, I left the Song Dynasty and traveled. This return home is also for the purpose of Visiting relatives and old friends.”
When Zhuge Shenhou said this, his expression became solemn and his voice became choked.
"But I didn't expect that the village I once lived in was in ruins. Only two or three of my childhood friends were still alive, and they were just hanging on."
"It was the Song royal family that caused all this. It was because of their greed and inaction that the people lived in dire straits. That's when I had the idea of replacing them."
"You alone can shake the royal family of Song Dynasty?"
Yu Qianfang didn't seem to be moved by Zhuge Shenhou's statement, but instead raised her doubts rationally.
"The villain has secretly cultivated his own power, mainly street children, and is always paying attention to changes in the situation in the Song Dynasty."
"You are quite honest."
"The villain dare not hide it in front of the elders."
In fact, the Taiyi Sect had already investigated clearly what Zhuge Shenhou said. The purpose of their interview with Zhuge Shenhou was to examine his performance.
"How do you prove that you have no connection with the Black Sect?"
"I can't prove it, but I am indeed not a disciple of the Black Sect."
"If you are really so confident, I want to explore the movement of your Qi. Do you dare to agree?"
Faced with Qianfang's persecution, Zhuge Shenhou showed no fear and just calmly said, "Am I qualified to object?"
Everyone in the Taiyi Sect admired his "knowledge" very much. Ever since Zhuge Shenhou entered this hall, he actually had no choice.
Yu Qianfang first injected a burst of true energy into Zhuge Shenhou's body. After less than a cup of tea, the true energy dissipated in his body.
"With strong true energy and solid foundation, the inheritance you have received is extraordinary and should be cherished even more."
"Thank you, elder, for your teachings!"
Looking at Zhuge Shenhou's leaving figure, Yu Qianfang said with regret, "This person has a deep foundation and is brave and resourceful. If it weren't for the fact that his skills are not suitable for our sect and his age, I would not have done it." I want to recruit him into the sect.”
"I didn't expect that Elder Yu would actually have a love for talents."
"It's just a temporary idea."
The Taiyi Sect is not interested in the change of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, as long as the other party is not the Black Clothes Sect.
"The main thing now is to find out the traces of the Black Clothes Sect. News has come from the Wuliang Holy Land. The discovered outer disciple of the Black Clothes Sect named Gao Xiaowen is an undercover agent sent by the Wuliang Holy Land to the Black Clothes Sect. This is very interesting. Maybe it was a clue he left for us on purpose."
"I just wonder how they sneaked in. Our observation point in the Wolong Mountains has not been attacked. Logically speaking, King Wu cannot enter this place at all."
"This is not our mission. What we have to do is to eliminate the rats that have sneaked in. Other sects will take care of themselves."
As the leader, Yu Qianfang made the final decision on the direction of their future actions.
"Now it has been found that the person supporting the second prince is the Black Clothes Sect. Their contact point in the capital is gone. However, the Black Clothes Sect still has a secret stronghold in Hedong County, Qinghe County. We have not found the specific location yet. "
"According to analysis, this stronghold is mainly used to provide training girls for the second prince. The Black Clothes Sect taught him a vicious training method."
"There must be something wrong with Hedong County and Qinghe County. They can establish secret strongholds there and transport a large number of girls. The scale of this base will not be small. There must be a large number of Black Sect disciples hiding in the area."
Yu Qianfang hit the nail on the head and pointed out the essence of the problem.
"Now send capable disciples to Qinghe and Hedong for secret investigation, focusing on Hedong. The targets are mainly focused on outsiders. No matter how good the disciples of the Black Clothes Sect are at hiding, the flaw in their identities cannot be concealed."
"Yes, elder!"
"Everything needs to be done by our disciples themselves. Don't take shortcuts, let alone rely on the local government. The government is likely to be the most severely infiltrated institution."
"Warning to the disciples below, if there is a problem in any aspect, this elder will not be lenient!"
"We will obey the elders' decrees!"
In this way, without the outside world noticing, a large number of disciples of Taiyi Sect entered Hedong.
"Xiao Tie, I want to draw a character."
"Okay, Master."
The beam of light finally stopped in the platinum avatar area. Chu Ming did not expect that he had been lucky recently. Even when drawing characters, he could choose King Wu first.
Platinum Kaye Gucheng, the middle period of King Wu.
"See you, sir!"
"Lord Baiyun City, please get up quickly."
"The external situation is tense now. City Lord Ye also please go to Shengxian Valley to hibernate temporarily and make your own arrangements in the future."
Ye Gucheng's kendo talent is not weaker than Ximen Chuixue, but he was defeated by Ximen Chuixue only because he had too many concerns.
When the two reunite in this life, I don’t know what kind of sparks will be created.
After the initial period of uneasiness and worries about their future, everyone in the county government has gradually stabilized.
Even the restless He Jian seemed to have regained some of his former energy.
Even if others don't know, Chu Ming understands that this is just the calm before the storm.
The disciples of Taiyi Sect secretly entered Hedong City. They thought they could hide it from everyone, but they could not escape Chu Ming's eyes.
Hedong City is now monolithic. Whether it is the beggars at the city gate or the gang members collecting protection fees, they will report all the abnormal situations they find.
Therefore, when the disciples of Taiyi Sect entered Hedong City, Chu Ming already knew about it. This is the advantage of being a "local snake".
Fortunately, the situation that worried him most did not occur. The disciples of Taiyi Sect did not enter Gushe Mountain, but only moved around in the city.
After a week like this, He Jian, who had been a head catcher in Hedong City for many years, also noticed that something was wrong.
"I recently have a batch of goods that need to be sent to the capital, and I have to ask Boss Chu for some help."
"No problem. It just so happens that the Chu family has a batch of spirits sent to the capital the day after tomorrow. You prepare the goods and we will meet at Shilipo in the east of the city early the day after tomorrow."
"Your business route turns out to be on the outskirts of Gushe Mountain."
"As expected of me, who knows the geography of Hedong. I just mentioned a ten-mile slope, and you actually guessed the location of the business road."
Ignoring Chu Ming's praise for him, He Jian asked with some joy, "Shangdao is really in Gushe Mountain?"
"Yes, although the road is difficult, a carriage can still pass. The key is concealment. Except for a few caravans, no one knows this road."
"Okay, then we have made an agreement. This time we will all rely on Master Chu."
"Our friendship doesn't go beyond this. I'm not used to you being so solemn."
At this time, He Jian also realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly said, "This is my first time transporting goods. I am always a little excited, but it makes you laugh."
"The first time I transported liquor to the capital, my performance was worse than yours. How could I laugh at you!"
Just when the two were about to separate, He Jian suddenly asked, "Now that the dynasty has changed, aren't the nobles in the capital affected? Do they still need such a large amount of Chu family spirits?"
"I don't know what's going on here. I just transported the wine to the capital at the request of my partners. I don't need to worry about the follow-up matters."
"You are so lucky to have a noble person in your life to help you."
Hearing what Chu Ming said, He Jian dispelled his doubts.
"I just treat people with sincerity. Fortunately, all the people I meet are gentlemen."
The two of them completed the conversation while testing each other, and left with both parties satisfied.
He Jian now feels like his days are like a year, and he feels the threat from Taiyi Sect all the time.
He prayed all the time that the day after tomorrow would come early, and under this torture, the time came to go the night before departure.
"I have something to take care of tomorrow and there is no way to deliver the goods to Shilipo in person."
"It's okay. I've already said hello. There's no need for you to go there in person."
He Jian didn't expect Chu Ming to be so easy to talk to.
"Don't you need me to show some personal belongings or other tokens?"
Chu Ming looked at him in surprise, "What do I need these things for?"
"Then how do you know the goods being transported are mine?"
