Shenwu Batian Jue

Chapter 238 Snooping News
Su Yan strolled on the streets of King Qindan City, feeling the hustle and bustle here.

There are peddlers on the street, juggling troupes who make a living by performing arts, fortune tellers who specialize in fooling the public, shops and restaurants in prosperous areas, and the place of fireworks where most men are reluctant to leave.

"Hey, little brother, don't go, how about coming in for a glass of flower wine?" When passing by a flower building called Yingchun Pavilion, a beautifully dressed woman greeted her, and hugged her unceremoniously. Su Yan's arm was about to pull him in.

The smell of makeup on the woman's body made Su Yan frowned. What made Su Yan the most unbearable was that she took the opportunity to rub the pair of things on her chest against his arms, and rubbed his own body in broad daylight.

"I don't have any money, can I get credit?" Su Yan said with a smile.

The smile on the woman's face froze immediately, but she quickly smiled and twitched her fingers, and said, "Oh, brother, you are just joking. Seeing that you are so fair and handsome, and you are wearing brocade clothes, you must have been born in a wealthy family. Why not?" There will be no money. Brother, stop joking with me."
"I really don't have any money with me, girl, do you think I'm joking with you? If you can get credit here, you can go in and have a good time. I don't know what the girl thinks?"
The smile on the woman's face froze again, and this time she didn't relax, she pushed Su Yan away, and said, "Go away quickly! You're a fair-faced old lady, you can just eat and drink. , I even want to sleep with girls. The girls in Yingchun Pavilion, my mother, are not diamond-encrusted, but also gold-encrusted, and they are worth a lot. Do you want to do this for nothing? Dream it!"
The corner of Su Yan's mouth twitched a few times. Facing such a vicious pimp, he could only choose to leave silently.

As soon as he turned around and didn't take a few steps, he couldn't help laughing.

After living so long, it was the first time that she was disgusted by a woman like this.

Su Yan touched his face, and couldn't help but wonder if his charm had weakened, and even the women in the land of fireworks looked down on him?

After touching his face a few times, he remembered that he had changed his appearance.Although this face can be regarded as handsome, unrestrained and suave, it is far inferior to the real face.

Not long after, Su Yan stopped in front of an inn.Looking around, he found that there were no other inns nearby, so he stepped in and left the same mark on the pillar in front of the inn as he had left in front of the city gate.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a nice small courtyard here? I want a quieter courtyard."
"Brother, I heard that you are not a local, right?" The shopkeeper didn't answer whether Su Yan still has a separate small courtyard, but changed the topic: "Brother, this is not the first time you have come to Wangcheng, right?" ?”

"Shopkeeper, are you checking your account or doing business?" Su Yan frowned slightly. He was so shrewd, and he could tell what this guy was thinking from the shopkeeper's eyes at a glance.

"Brother, don't worry, there are high-class small courtyards, and they will definitely meet your requirements." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and said: "Brother, you have come to the right place. Don't leave us in this royal city." It looks like it is at the foot of the king, but the law and order are not that good. Many guests from other places live in other inns, and they are stolen in the middle of the night without knowing it, or disappear inexplicably. Do you think it is scary?"

"Well, it's scary..." Su Yan looked at the shopkeeper with a half-smile, "but I'm not afraid."
"Brother is so brave, but having a safe place to live always takes a lot of worry. With us, brother, you can rest assured that there will never be any problems. It's just that the cost of staying in this hotel is slightly higher than other inns Go up a little."
Su Yan looked at this profiteer, went around for a long time, finally got to the point, and said, "How tall is it?"

The shopkeeper stretched out a finger: "One hundred mortal-level low-grade spiritual diamonds for one day!"

"So expensive?" Su Yan knew that this profiteer thought he was not a local, so he asked for prices all over the sky.

"This store has always been at this price, whether you live in it or not, brother..."
"Kang Dang!" Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a soybean-sized spiritual diamond fell from Su Yan's hand on the counter: "Is that enough?"

"Mortal-level top-grade spiritual diamonds?" The shopkeeper was slightly startled, and his attitude suddenly changed. He nodded and bowed: "That's enough, that's enough. This is for you, my lord, please wait a moment!"
Su Yan was a little surprised, but it was only a mortal-level top-grade spiritual diamond, so the shopkeeper's attitude has changed too much, right?
What he didn't know was that the poor people in the Immortal God Realm used gold and silver, the common currency in the secular world.Those who are wealthy use mortal low-grade spiritual diamonds, and only warriors use mortal middle-grade spiritual diamonds.And the top-grade spiritual diamonds of the ordinary level are only used by those with backgrounds.

After all, Spirit Diamond is not only a hard currency, but also one of the most important resources in the cultivation world.The aura contained in the mortal top-grade spiritual diamond is very sufficient, so it is almost impossible to circulate into the hands of low-level warriors and mortals.

"By the way, shopkeeper. If there are two young and beautiful women coming here, you should send someone to notify me immediately, or take them to my residence directly. One of these two women is about 20 years old and has a cold temper; the other A person is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with charming eyes, soft and cute words and deeds."
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll remember the shopkeeper!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he said to the waiter next to him, "Hurry up and take this young master to the Tianzi No. [-] courtyard. If you have any orders, you must fulfill them, you know?" ?”
... Tianzi No. [-] Courtyard is located at the corner of the back courtyard of the inn. It is because of the corner that it is very quiet and the environment is very elegant, which is more in line with Su Yan's requirements.

The small courtyard is not big, there are only a few houses in it, and there are only six or seven rooms in total, but there are pavilions, ponds, bamboo forests, gardens, and rockeries, and the layout is quite exquisite.

"My lord, this is the small courtyard you want, if you need anything else, just tell me."
"It's okay, you can go down." Su Yan waved his hand.Waiting for Xiao Er to leave, he went directly into the room and sat cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and adjusting his breath.

From Xuanzhou to Wangcheng, due to the fearful ape king chasing after him along the way, Su Yan maintained an extremely fast speed, and the consumption of true energy was huge.At the moment, he feels a little tired.

After taking a large amount of spiritual liquid, Su Yan was practicing while recovering his true energy.

During this period of time, Su Yan practiced for a while whenever he was free, and he faintly felt that he seemed to have a breakthrough.

When he broke through the Sea Condensation Realm some time ago, due to his solid foundation, he had just broken through to the big realm of the Condensed Sea Realm, and his realm was firmly in the middle of the first layer of the Sea Condensation Realm.During this period of time, I have improved again, and now I have reached the late stage of Yizhongtian.

"In the eyes of others, my improvement may be very fast, but I still feel that it is a bit slow. The enemies I am facing right now are all high-level enemies, and there is even a fourth-order fearful ape king. In the future, I will fight with Prime Minister Zuo. It is possible to face the warriors of the Open Heaven Realm!"

Su Yan felt that he should seize the time to cultivate, but there were various things that needed to be resolved, and he couldn't maintain the state of cultivation for a long time, so he could only squeeze out time to progress step by step.

Several hours later, Su Yan opened his eyes, feeling a sense of hunger in his stomach.

He didn't use zhenqi to replenish his body functions, nor did he use zhenqi to quench his hunger. Instead, he left the small courtyard and came to the restaurant in the inn, where he ordered some special dishes and a pot of wine.

It was meal time at this time, and the restaurant was full of people, very noisy.

The diners were talking about different topics, and when it came to the excitement, some people even got red-faced.

"Have you heard, it seems that something happened in Xuanzhou again!"

"Who says it's not? I heard that an ancient beast of unknown origin made a big fuss in Xuanzhou City, killing and injuring countless residents and soldiers in the city."
"It's so miserable! There is a drought in Xuanzhou, the land that was originally rich has now become a thousand miles of barren land, and now it is plagued by ancient beasts..."
"Hey, don't talk about it. The ancient beast disturbed Xuanzhou. Although it caused a lot of casualties, it also did something comforting. It is said that the ancient beast chased a certain boy in white and broke into the country's uncle Gao Zhejiu. The city lord's mansion where I lived, trampled the city lord's mansion into ruins!"

"Shu Xin, what a fart! It's a shame that the thief escaped with his life, why didn't he get trampled into a pulp by that ancient beast!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, if someone from the Gao family hears this, they won't know how they died!"
"Humph! That Gao Zhe is really hateful! Now that we have gone to Xuanzhou, we are considered calm here. When he was in this royal city before, when would he not rob people's daughters by force, and when would he not kill an innocent citizen? It's just a war Seeing that his father is Prime Minister Zuo, the power is in the hands of the government and the public. And there is also a sister who is Li Guifei, who is simply lawless!"
"That's right, Gao Zhe's evil deeds are beyond words. Although we are not kind and good people, thinking of Gao Zhe makes us feel terrible!"
"Unfortunately, Prime Minister Zuo has too much power, and Prime Minister Right wants to do things for the people, but he can't do anything about it. It is said that two-thirds of the officials in the court now follow Prime Minister Zuo's lead, and the emperor is kept in the dark."
"Now the dynasty is full of traitors and sycophants, and the right prime minister is alone, but he has not given up. He has been collecting evidence of the Gao family's crimes. But the right prime minister, Mr. Zhong, always encounters obstacles. In the past, Gao Zhe robbed the women of the people, but the people who were robbed were not only Dare to correct Gao Zhe, but even cry out for Gao Zhe. And those women who were taken away, Gao Zhe killed them after enjoying themselves, and even the corpses could not be found."
"Earlier you talked about the matter of Xuanzhou. It is said that Prime Minister Zuo tried his best to advise the emperor to send General Sha to Xuanzhou after hearing the news, and the people of Xuanzhou will suffer again. General Sha is Prime Minister Zuo's confidant, and he will definitely take the opportunity to search for the people's fat and anointment when he goes there. , about the matter of ancient beasts, I'm afraid they won't pursue it at all. When the time comes, I'll just find an excuse and just make excuses."
... The diners at each table started to chat about their own topics, but in the end they all talked about the same topic.

Su Yan drank some wine and listened quietly.Judging from the words of these people, Gao Zhe is notorious in Wangcheng, and has already aroused public outrage.The entire Gao family has a very bad impression in the hearts of everyone, no one likes them, at least Su Yan has not heard anyone speak for the Gao family.

On the contrary, Prime Minister You has a very good reputation, and everyone present seems to love and respect him.

"Prime Minister Right..."
Su Yan thought in his heart, Wangcheng is the domain of the Gao family, apart from Qin Danhuang, he is probably the most powerful here.In this case, if you want to play against the Gao family, as Natalya said, you must find a helper.

Prime Minister You is a good choice.In addition to him, Su Yan believed that there must be a group of ministers who were dissatisfied with the Gao family in the court, and these were potential partners for cooperation.

"It seems that I have to find a time to go to Prime Minister You's mansion. He wants to move the Gao family, but he suffers from lack of evidence, but I have Gao Zhe's criminal evidence in my hand. I believe he will not refuse."
Su Yan pondered and made a decision in his heart.But he also knew that with the ledger in his hand, at most he could only move to Gao Zhe, but the foundation of the Gao family could not be shaken.At that time, Prime Minister Zuo will most likely be able to cleverly clear the relationship for himself.

After all, he is a powerful prime minister and has a daughter who is a noble concubine, which cannot be ignored.If you want to completely remove the Gao family, you have to continue to collect evidence, and it is fatal evidence for the Gao family.Only in that way can Qin Danhuang angrily kill the high thief regardless of Concubine Li Gui's feelings.

The diners in the restaurant left one after another, and it was noisy as usual, but the content of the discussion afterwards was messy, and it wasn't that Su Yan wanted to know the information.

Satisfied with wine and food, Su Yan paid the bill and returned to the small courtyard.

It was dusk now, the sun was setting on the hillside, and the clouds in the sky were fiery red.

Su Yan had just returned to the gate of the small courtyard, before entering the courtyard, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and two sharp cold lights shot out from his pupils.He found that someone seemed to be in his room.
