The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 357 Sun Family (two in one)

Xie Zhongchi was the original tenth on the "Jade Gate Talents List", the master of Black Wind Castle, and the second brother of "Kangsha" Xie Bodu.

He was originally sent to Feiyun Mountain of the Shaanzhou sect to practice by his elder brother, but because his eldest brother Xie Bodu was trapped in the "Red Gold Mountain", his third brother Xie Shuyi was discovered by Zhao Chen as a member of the "Four Evils Hall", and He was pursued by Ming Hongyue, the Princess of Weihe who had a deep hatred for the "Four Evil Halls".

As a result, Xie Zhongchi fell from being a direct descendant of a great sect to wandering around the world. Even the master "Shen Yunzi" who had been protecting him died outside Biyuefang City... As far as he knew, the one who did it was the Princess of Weihe. Under his command, "Seven Evil Old Monsters" Luo Sheng.

Therefore, Xie Zhongchi regarded Princess Weihe as his sworn enemy and was always looking for opportunities to assassinate her.

And his biggest reliance at the moment is the soul of a powerful man of unknown origin in his consciousness sea. Not only does this person know many secrets, he is also proficient in divination and calculation. He has provided him with great help before.
Based on this, he did not dare to take the senior's words seriously, and immediately took care of the picked up old man more diligently.

Although the "senior" in his consciousness was weak at this time, he was also thinking deeply in his heart:
Although there is no problem with the origin of this person, it is still a bit too coincidental that he happened to be encountered by this boy Xie... In addition, the process of being blocked and attacked by King Qin and King Shu, and finally possessing this boy Xie was also a coincidence. …

So many coincidences added together... Is there someone behind the scenes?

Hey, no matter who they are, if they dare to take advantage of me, they must be mentally prepared to be attacked by me in the final stage!

……

Yicheng, bordered by the wasteland to the north and Sanhe Mountain to the east, was regarded as a fortress for defending the nomadic people in the north in ancient times, but now it has long lost this function.

Although it is only a small city, because Sanhe Mountain and Wuyougufang City are two places rich in spiritual energy, the quality of practitioners is far superior to that of cities of the same size such as Bingquan Town. There are nearly ten magic masters. Stationed nearby.

Among them, the Guiyuan Sword Sect was originally the strongest, but because Mr. Ling came to Sanhe Mountain and forcibly searched the souls of Tang Ying and other masters in the sect, the sect currently only has a few orifice refining warriors left to barely support it. Mountain gate.

If Zuo Hongshang, the head of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, was not worried, other forces, especially the Yunying Sect, which had been deprived of the mountain sect, would have been unable to hold on any longer.

In fact, Qi Banshan, the member of the Yunying Sect who had been infected by demonic energy, had already proposed attacking the Guiyuan Sword Sect, but was suppressed by the mature and prudent leader Yun Longzi.

However, during this period, people in Yicheng were in a state of flux, including the local wealthy Sun family, the city lord's palace minister Liu Xinghe and other magic experts had already begun to communicate in private, just waiting for an opportunity.

It was in such a strange atmosphere that Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan came to Yicheng again.

However, unlike last time with Yan Hongxia, Zhao Chen did not show off this time. Instead, he first found the so-called "Ming Cult" Zuo Dharma King Yan who was brought out from Wuyou Cave by his subordinate who stayed in Wuyoufang City. Shun.

When he completed his mission and left the cave world, the calm voice asked Zhao Chen if he wanted to bring his two "possessions", Zuo Dharma King Yan Shun and Yin Ling Saint Kong Lin, back to Xuantian. .

At that time, Zhao Chen only chose Yan Shun as his assistant for various reasons and settled down in Wuyoufang City.

The task he gave Yan Shun at the beginning was to unite the local forces in Yicheng as much as possible, fight openly with Zuo Hong, and consume the strength of both parties. When the Guiyuan Sword Sect falls in the future, he can naturally take charge of the affairs of Wuyougufang City.

However, the situation changed later. Zuo Hong was sent out to follow Zhou Fu, but ended up going back to Yumen in a roundabout way. The matter of seizing the "Crown of the Clouds" was even more sudden, and Zuo Hong took the blame in advance.

Plans can’t keep up with changes!Zhao Chen sighed with emotion, and entered a private room of a teahouse with Zheng Qingyan, where Zuo Dharma King Yan Shun was already waiting here.

The increasingly energetic old man first saluted Zhao Chen and then bowed slightly to Zheng Qingyan.

Obviously, having lived in Daxia for several months, he knew the importance of this Zheng family's legitimate daughter.

"No need to be polite..." Zhao Chen waved his hand, and then after sitting down with Zheng Qingyan, he asked, "What's the situation in Yicheng now?"

"I have failed to live up to your expectations, Sir... I have not gained enough reputation in Yicheng..." Yan Shun immediately stood up to apologize, but was interrupted by Zhao Chen's wave, so he composed the next sentence:

"Both the Patriarch of the Sun family and the chief minister of the City Lord's Mansion have ideas about the Guiyuan Sword Sect in Sanhe Mountain, and they may have received support from the Li family. However, the recent turmoil in Ganzhou and the fact that Li Yunfeng is still banned, This is why there is no actual action...

"Of course, the main reason is that they are not sure."

"Not sure? Aren't all the masters of the Guiyuan Sword Sect defeated by the master of magical powers surnamed Ling? Are they actually not sure? Or...are they afraid of Zuo Hong's revenge?" Zhao Chen asked as he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Yicheng's local "Bifeng Wuyou Tea" has a fragrant chestnut aroma and a mellow and sweet taste, which is very good.

"Both..." Yan Shun respectfully added water to his cup before continuing, "Tang Ying of the Guiyuan Sword Sect only went crazy after searching for souls. He still has the strength of the seventh rank and even went crazy. A bit more powerful than before...

"And the head of the Sun family has a maximum magic power of level five. Although Liu Xinghe, the great priest of the city lord's palace, has a top level nine Gangsha cultivation level, he was unable to exert his full power because he suffered heavy injuries in his early years and his foundation was damaged.

“So they have been encouraging people from the Yunying Sect to take the lead in order to consume the strength of the Guiyuan Sword Sect.

"It's a pity that although Qi Banshan was instigated and ready to take action, Yun Longzi was very clear about the conspiracy and was not moved at all."

"I see..." Zhao Chen compared what Yan Shun said with the information he had obtained, nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about the leader of Qingfeng Village?"

"The master of Shizhai Village never gets involved in this kind of thing. He just said that if you need fire guns, you can order them from their village." After saying this, Yan Shun paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Speaking of this Qingfeng Village, I always I find it very strange, it is too united internally, and it is difficult to get any useful information."

As an old "revolutionary" who once led the "Mingjiao" to rebel in Wuyou Cave, Yan Shun smelled a familiar smell.

That's where my cheap dad's arsenal is. It must be well-organized, otherwise it would have been exposed long ago... Of course, there are also some experts who look down on this kind of village, and no one has guessed it.

After Zhao Chen cursed, he asked thoughtfully: "What do you think I should do to secretly control the entire Yicheng in a short period of time? Or rather, prevent the possible secrets of Wuyoufang City from being leaked?"

This is also an assessment of Yan Shun's ability.

Yan Shun frowned again, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Secret control means that an agent is needed...

"If you choose from the existing candidates in Yicheng, I think it would be better to use the Sun family to achieve your goal."

"Oh? Tell me why." Zhao Chen asked with interest.

Yan Shun also knew that this was the master testing himself, so he explained seriously: "In fact, the answer can be obtained by using the elimination method." First of all, the Guiyuan Sword Sect is now the target of public criticism, not to mention that even before, it has always been Being hated by the Sun family and other forces, even if they use force to subdue all parties, they will turn a blind eye and carefully watch every move of the Guiyuan Sword Sect behind their backs, so this sect is the most unsuitable as an agent, because the hidden Keep secrets.

"Young Master, you must have thought of this at the beginning, so you gave up on this plan first, and instead asked Zuo Hong to suppress all parties and pave the way for me..."

No, I didn't think that far back at the time, don't "dihua"... After Zhao Chen muttered something in his heart, he heard Yan Shun continue: "Secondly, Qingfeng Village is located in a corner and lacks prestige, and Shizhai Village The Lord has a temperament that he doesn’t want to get involved in anything, so they are not a good choice. If their virtue is not worthy of the position, they will not be able to sit in that position for long.

"And I am the same... Of course, my lack of prestige is only on one hand. On the other hand, everyone knows that I am a subordinate of Mr. Chen and Hongxia Sword. If I were to be this agent, I would not be able to serve you. The effect of "dark" control is mentioned.

"As for the 'Yunying Sect'..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shun suddenly stopped and glanced at Zhao Chen.

"What about Yunying Sect?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

"As for the Yunying Sect, if Yun Longzi is killed and Qi Banshan takes over, I think it would be more suitable than the Sun family... But if Yun Longzi is still in the position of leader, then I think it's best not to let it go." Yunying Sect' will take on this responsibility." Yan Shun replied carefully.

He still didn't know much about the relationship between the Yunying Sect and his master. He only knew that the mistress named Yan Hongxia seemed to be practicing the "Yunxia Alchemy Book" of the sect, so he was a little hesitant.

Has Old Man Yun Longzi’s chicken thief become so deeply rooted in people’s hearts?Zhao Chen smiled and did not comment on killing the old man. He just continued to ask: "What about the City Lord's Mansion?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is actually the most troublesome... because if you want to control Wuyoufang City and Yicheng, you can't get around it... But since you clearly want to secretly take charge of this place, sir, I guess you have already made plans to deal with the City Lord's Mansion. Have you got any countermeasures?" Yan Shun asked with a smile.

"You still dislike Yun Longzi, but you also have a lot of evil intentions!" Zhao Chen said with emotion, then smiled and said to Yan Shun, "Don't worry, the current city lord will soon have an incident. In the next few months, There should be no more city lords taking office...

"As for the future selection of the new city master, I will be able to plan for it."

The reason why Zhao Chen is so confident is naturally that Zheng Qingyan has used the "Nine Yao Yi" magical power to deduce a lot of dirty information about Yicheng City Lord and his great worshiper Liu Xinghe, and passed it to the City Lord's enemies through some channels.

In a few days, this city lord will step down.

"That's no problem..." Yan Shun showed an expression of "Sure enough," and said with a smile, "So, after excluding other forces, the remaining Sun family is naturally the most suitable.

“First of all, the Sun family is a local leader in Yicheng. It has been rooted here for hundreds of years. It has sufficient influence and prestige, has a good reputation, and all the forces are willing to cooperate.

"Secondly, the backstage behind Sun Jiaming's face is Mr. Li Yunfeng of the Li family, who can achieve your goal of secretly controlling Wuyougufang City. Even if something goes wrong in the future, Mr. Li will be the one to take the blame...

"Again, the head of the Sun family is already quite old and rarely interferes with family affairs. The Sun family is currently in a period of inactivity. There is no second magic cultivator in the family... so the control is actually not as expected. So difficult.

"According to my observation, among the direct lineage houses of the Sun family, the big house is relatively 'clean' because their principal is good enough and may be promoted to mana at any time.

“The second and third bedrooms are obviously unwilling to give in, so there are traces of unknown forces intervening behind each other.

"Especially the third room, I think there might be some secret organization behind them!
"Young master, if you want to control the Sun family, you might as well start from this aspect... If someone finds out in the future, someone will take the blame."

Yan Shun talked eloquently and listed the advantages of supporting and controlling the Sun family.

"The secret organization..." Zhao Chen frowned when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Do you know which organization it is?"

In fact, secret organizations are not all "evil" organizations that everyone shouts about. There are also sects like the "stealing sect" in the past. If it is the latter, that is fine, but if it is the former, Zhao Chen, a "Taoist official", must The investigation is clear.

Moreover, if you want to keep the secrets of Wuyougufang City, it is best to clean up these secret organizations in advance!

Yan Shun had just come out of Dongtian not long ago and didn't know the troubles of these organizations, but Zhao Chen had almost had contact with more than half of the secret organizations in Daxia, so of course he understood how powerful they were.

Yan Shun shook his head and said, "I don't know very well... Well, the man from the third room accidentally mentioned a few words about the organization's creed when we were drinking, but it is different from the 'Evil Organization' information you gave me. It’s different from anything mentioned.”

I see...it seems like I have to go check it out for myself!Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

"By the way, the creed of that organization is-'Everything is allowed'..." Yan Shun added at last.

……

In the north of Yicheng, there is a mansion that is even more luxurious than the city lord's mansion.

The master of the third room of the Sun family was walking towards the front hall with a pair of walnuts in his hand.

This is a middle-aged man who looks to be about 40 years old. He has a well-proportioned figure and light steps. He can't hear the slightest sound while walking on the road.

But just as he was about to enter the front yard, he suddenly stopped beside a path.

Because his second brother, the current "master" of his second wife, Sun Kunhai, was walking towards him.

He was a big fat man with a bulging belly. He couldn't even lower his head, let alone look at his feet.

Seeing him, the middle-aged man had a helpless expression on his face, but he couldn't hide any longer. He stepped forward and saluted, "I've met my second brother."

Sun Kunhai looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile and said, "Third brother, it's really hard to see you now... Has the result of what we discussed last time come to an end?"

"I'm sorry...Second brother, I choose to quit."
