"Oh, let's go with the flow."
Ren Yingying didn't care. She scolded slightly and then stood up and turned to the bookshelf on one side to look for something.
"What are you looking for?"
"A plan from the past."
Ren Yingying took out a wooden box from various files and walked back slowly.
"Xiang Feiliu's actions should be related to this."
"What's this?"
Zhao Yan took the wooden box in confusion and looked at it.
The surface of the box is very clean, but the material does appear to have some signs of age.
It's not that it's damaged or anything, but it has an air of simplicity.
"You'll know when you open it and take a look."
"Mysterious..."
Zhao Yan muttered, but still couldn't resist his curiosity and opened the wooden box.
Opening the wooden box, there was a scroll and a thick book inside.
Zhao Yan took out the scroll and pulled away the binding rope. The unfolded page immediately made him frown.
"Lingyun Cave..."
Above the scroll is a huge map with three levels, like a maze.
There are many logos on the picture. Even though Zhao Yan only glanced at them briefly, he could tell what these logos represented.
There are various institutions everywhere, and there are countless poisonous insects and beasts in captivity. At first glance, it is dazzling.
"...What is this? A treasure map?"
"It's almost the same, but it's fake."
Ren Yingying knocked on the side of the wooden box and pointed at the thick book.
"You might as well read this book again."
“……”
Zhao Yan looked at her deeply, then picked up the booklet.
In his impression, Sister Yingying was always quick-witted and quick-tongued, and she was rarely so showy.
What the hell is here...
With this idea in mind, Zhao Yan turned to the homepage.
"Lingyun Fake Cave...Secret Book..."
"This handwriting... is..."
"It's from Guyu."
Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly experienced a process from shock to confusion to sudden realization to sadness.
At the same time, his overall aura also went through the western stage, making Ren Yingying who was standing aside feel as if she had fallen into a cold storage, and in the blink of an eye, she felt as if she had experienced an unprecedented battle.
Being able to make a master of Zhao Yan's level lose control of his emotions in an instant shows how volatile his inner changes are.
"Feel sorry……"
Sensing something strange about Ren Yingying, Zhao Yan quickly apologized, stretched out his palm to cover the back of Ren Yingying's hand, and used Qi to calm her blood.
"I discovered this by accident after I took over Xiaoyu Building."
"I also talked with Sister Gu Yu. This plan is her hard work. She had prepared everything, but she just didn't have time to implement it..."
Ren Yingying didn't blame Zhao Yan. After all, she knew Xiang Guyu's position in Zhao Yan's heart.
It was precisely because of this that she stayed with Zhao Yan to help him all these years without complaint.
"Why didn't you tell me before..."
Zhao Yan looked at the booklet in his hand blankly.
He had never realized that Gu Yu had made such a big plan in private.
It is clear at a glance what the function of Lingyun Fake Cave is.
Naturally, it was to attract all the spies and Kyushu masters from all sides and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Although it would definitely not be enough to kill them all, it would be enough to cause heavy damage to all parties.
If the accident eight years ago had not happened...
If the plan is implemented...
Zhao Yan secretly thought in his heart that this brief introduction was a plan that could change the pattern of Kyushu.
"Sister Gu Yu originally planned to make the plan perfect before presenting it to you."
"But...she didn't have time."
“After that, you disbanded ‘Withered Leaves’. I thought this plan was too destructive, so I shelved it.”
I see…
Zhao Yan could understand what she meant.
While Xiang Guyu was still there, she would naturally have a solution to all future troubles.
But after her death, Ren Yingying was afraid that she could not control the scale, and was not very familiar with every step of the plan. She was worried that it would cause unimaginable consequences to Zhao Yan, so she simply hid the plan.
What's more, it was the time for Zhao Yan to hide his power and bide his time. It was better to do less than to do more.
If it weren't for Xiang Feiliu's sudden action, this plan might have been buried under a pile of documents forever.
"Where did Fei Liu learn about it?"
"I don't know, maybe it was a plan jointly made by their siblings."
"Then how did you determine that his outing this time was related to Lingyun's fake cave? The things from eight years ago must have been gathering dust by now..."
Zhao Yan closed the book and did not read any further.
He put the books and scrolls back into the wooden box, closed the lid, and put them away carefully.
What he said was not unreasonable. If no one had taken care of the huge cave that was dug eight years ago, it would have been dead long ago.
Those poisonous insects have extremely high requirements for the living environment. Without a suitable living environment, they will not survive for more than three days.
The same goes for the institutions. It has been idle for so many years and I don’t know if they can still be used.
You must know that this world does not have the kind of mechanism in the TV series that can still be opened after being released for hundreds of years.
Without careful maintenance, it will lose its effectiveness in just a few months.
"When Xiang Feiliu left, he came to talk to me. He mentioned this plan intentionally or unintentionally."
"Therefore, I guessed that he had this idea, so in conjunction with his subsequent actions, and based on the clues sent back by the sisters of Xiaoyulou, I concluded that he wanted to restart this plan."
"As for whether you are worried about whether this fake cave can still be used..."
Ren Yingying said, paused, then dug out a thick account book from under the table and threw it to Zhao Yan.
"The maintenance accounts of Lingyun Fake Cave for the past eight years have been here."
"Because the location is far away, all expenditures are first withdrawn from nearby branches and are not reported to the headquarters for approval."
"There is only one summary at the end of the year. If you had checked the accounts carefully, you should have discovered this large expenditure long ago."
She looked at Zhao Yan with a half-smile, a bit of teasing in her tone.
Such a large artificial cave, the care and feeding of so many poisonous insects and beasts, the maintenance and upkeep of countless secret rooms...
The expenditures here are so huge that anyone who meets a person in charge who is willing to take a little more care would not be able to miss it.
It just happened to be Zhao Yan...
Have absolute trust in her and unlimited power.
So much so that such a large expenditure was not even noticed for eight years.
This made Ren Yingying not know whether to be moved or complain.
"Yeah…"
Zhao Yan took the account book and flipped through a few pages. The contents inside surprised him.
"The Five Poison Sect's essence feeds the top five immortals..."
"Ziyun Valley's special preparation seals the throat after seeing blood..."
"The Centennial Corpse Man from Poison Dragon Cave..."
"This...this must not become a poisonous cave!"
Although he was frightened, he underestimated the danger of Lingyun's fake cave.
You must know that no matter how strong the poisonous insect is... there is an upper limit.
Once a martial arts knight has enough means, it will be difficult to produce good results.
What's more, if you break into a dangerous place like Lingyun Cave, normal people will take precautions...
The poisonous insects and ferocious beasts alone obviously cannot kill them all.
"guessed wrong."
"Huh? Aren't these for killing enemies?"
"Just scraps like this...what kind of enemy can I kill?"
"Then why spend so much money on these?"
After all, these things are not cheap, especially the special five immortals. It is estimated that the Five Poison Sect itself does not have much stock...
If it weren't for Ren Yingying's identity, I might not be able to buy it.
"These are just fodder."
"Feed? Feed!!!!"
Zhao Yan suddenly shouted loudly, full of disbelief.
This, this, this...
What a luxury!
It's like you thought someone was buying top-quality Wagyu beef to eat at home, but it turned out that they were feeding it to their dogs...
He originally thought that these poisons were not strong enough to have a big effect.
Who knew that these were just feeds, the poisons raised by eating these things...
What's the origin?
The mango red clam is poisonous enough, but I don’t have the luxury to eat these things.
Zhao Yan really can't imagine...
"What are you shouting for? If you don't come up with something strong enough, even you won't be able to look down on this Lingyun Fake Cave."
"The legendary Lingyun Cave has a fire unicorn. We couldn't get a fire unicorn, so we made a poison unicorn inside."
"Actually, even if Xiang Feiliu doesn't implement this plan, I will start it here."
"After so many years of cultivation, the poisonous unicorn is now so strong that it is unimaginable..."
"If we don't take action, we won't be able to support it."
Ren Yingying snatched the account book from Zhao Yan's hand and put it back under the table.
"The top secret books collected in the palace are all hidden in fake caves according to levels."
"In addition, a lot of the elixirs refined in the pharmacy and the treasures in the armory were moved there."
"You have to be prepared to take heavy losses."
Zhao Yan twisted his mouth, unable to express the pain in his heart.
If I had known earlier, I would have implemented it eight years ago...
Eight more years of money were spent for no reason!
only……
Just relying on a poisonous unicorn?
Can so many people be killed?
You must know that there are many masters in Jiuzhou. If they join forces to kill Poison Qilin, wouldn't they be in vain?
No!
Guyu's preparation couldn't be that simple.
Ren Yingying saw Zhao Yan's doubts at a glance and added.
"The poisonous unicorn is hidden on the third floor underground, but its killer weapon is not here, but on the first floor underground."
"basement one…"
Zhao Yan repeated it softly, and then an idea flashed in his head.
"gunpowder!"
"Yes, we have buried enough gunpowder in the mountain to blow up the entire mountain. As long as enough people enter, we will bury them all."
That makes sense.
Zhao Yan exhaled a breath...
If a mountain collapses, even the land gods will not be able to escape.
Listen to the thunder in the silent place...
It turns out that Guyu had already formulated such a plan eight years ago and was implementing it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask himself whether he had been a hands-off shopkeeper for too long.
He always thought he was doing something to protect everyone...
He has grown silently over the years, first becoming the number one master in the Song Dynasty, and now the number one person in Lu Xian Realm.
The reason is to protect the people you care about.
He would not allow something like Gu Yu's death to happen again.
But now he suddenly discovered it.
He's not the only one trying...
The people around him are also helping him and protecting him in their own way.
Why did Xiang Guyu make such a plan...
Eliminating hostile spies and Kyushu masters is just one of the reasons.
The biggest purpose is actually to eliminate all opponents that may cause harm to Qi Wangfu.
And Ren Yingying managed the Xiaoyu Building in an orderly manner, so that Zhao Yan never had to worry about these things, so she was protecting him...
Zhao Yan's eyes suddenly softened, and he looked at Ren Yingying carefully.
"Sister Yingying, it's great to have you..."
"...?? What's wrong with you!"
These words were a little too disgusting. Ren Yingying felt her hair stand on end and her eyes were filled with disgust.
“……”
Zhao Yan rolled his eyes helplessly.
Well, I finally feel affectionate for once!
We cannot stay in this palace for a day!
"Forget it, where is the fake cave? Who is the person in charge there? How can I contact him?"
Standing up suddenly, Zhao Yan picked up the wooden box and asked Ren Yingying three times.
"The location of the fake cave is in the wooden box."
"If you want to go, first go to Longmen Inn to find Jin Xiangyu, and she will take you there."
Ren Yingying leisurely raised her chest and leaned her head on the back of the chair.
"Longmen Inn...could it be that the fake cave was built in Cishan?"
Zhao Yan suddenly thought of something.
Longmen Inn is a contact point for Xiaoyu Tower built in the Kurqi Desert.
The daily job is to receive the passing caravans and obtain necessary information and surrounding commodity prices.
The Kurqi Desert spans the Western Kingdom, reaching Qin in the west, Xixia in the east, and covering most of the border area between the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties and the Ming Dynasty in the north and south. It is a transportation artery that even the Western Kingdom does not want to take, but has to cross.
Among them, Cishan, located in the northern part of the Kurchi Desert, is one of the few scenic spots in the desert.
Cishan is called this name because of its erratic position.
Every caravan passing through the desert can see the distant view of Cishan, but when you really want to look for it, you will find that no matter how you go, Cishan will only get farther and farther away.
Like two identical poles of a magnet, if one approaches the other, it will move away.
This is also the most mysterious wonder in the Kurqi Desert. Everyone who passes through this place wants to find the whereabouts of Cishan, but no one can find it.
"You guessed it very quickly. The method of entering Cishan is written down in the booklet. You can read it slowly by yourself."
Ren Yingying's words obviously confirmed Zhao Yan's guess.
It's just that Xiang Guyu actually used the mysterious Cishan to hide...
The huge Lingyun fake cave was dug under the mountain. The scale of this project still amazed Zhao Yan.
"Although I have never been to this fake cave, just looking at this scroll, I can imagine how much effort Sister Gu Yu put into it. You..."
"Don't let her down."
"In addition, Jellyfish Yinji's Shenshui Palace and Shi Guanyin's Stone Forest Cave are also in the Kurqi Desert. These two are not good people and have committed many crimes. You must be careful."
Although she knew that Zhao Yan was extremely powerful now, Ren Yingying still reminded him uneasily.
"rest assured."
Zhao Yan responded softly.
With his current configuration, it would be difficult for anyone to kill him unless he went to Xianyang City to die.
"It seems that I can't wait for Banhe anymore..."
"I don't know how many days it will take for her to completely absorb the pills. Time waits for no one. I have to go to Longmen Inn first."
Zhao Yan pursed his lips and thought about it.
Once the news about Lingyun Cave spreads...
Warriors from all over Kyushu will rush to the Kurqi Desert, and the Dragon Gate Inn will definitely be overcrowded by then.
Do you want……
Go first and build an inn next to it?
These flocks of fat sheep will not be slaughtered until they are slaughtered.
