Sword God Broken Kong

Chapter 12 Intrigue
Holding back the anger in his heart, he said flatly to He Longtao in front of him:
"Your buddy said that this matter needs your approval before he will tell me."

"Oh?"

He Longtao's eyes widened, as if he felt incredible, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between Ji Tiancheng and Yingcai just now.

In fact, after hearing Ji Tiancheng's questioning of Yingcai in the accounting room just now, he was still very satisfied with Yingcai's behavior of entrusting this matter to him.

Because if I agree at this time, I'm afraid it will leave a good impression on Ji Tiancheng. Even if the temptation to kill the wolf fails, I can rely on my good relationship with Ji Tiancheng to ask Ji Tiancheng's background.

He didn't know that Ji Tiancheng knew his strength like the back of his hand, not only would he not leave a good impression on his pretentious posture, but it would also make Ji Tiancheng loathe him even more and be more vigilant towards him.

After hearing the words of the old shopkeeper, Ji Tiancheng's eyes flashed coldly, and he thought silently:

"The power behind this old shopkeeper is definitely not the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise how could he do this."

How could Ji Tiancheng know that when Ji Tiancheng's supervisor Wang Kong came to Xuzhou City seven years ago, he had the same experience as him.

Wang Kong was in Xuzhou City at that time, unintentionally revealing the aura of a true energy master.

So, there was a mysterious man in black who made Wang Kong feel that he was stronger than him when he first entered the realm of true energy.

After negotiating with the man in black, Wangkong found out that behind Xuzhou City, there is a top force.

The man in black no longer pursued him, and Wang Kong didn't tell the 13-year-old Ji Tiancheng who was by his side at the time.

As for Ji Tiancheng's coming to Xuzhou City this time, because of his strength, the City Lord's Mansion was not aware of it clearly, and he did not negotiate with him. In addition, most of the masters of the top forces behind him were in retreat, so they could only rely on , Xiaoyu Xiaoxia inquired about the news.

He Longtao looked angry, as if he was very dissatisfied with Yingcai's attitude towards Ji Tiancheng:

"I didn't expect Yingcai to be so ignorant, so I'll follow the young master to ask!"

"Squeak..."

The door of the accounting room was pushed open, and Yingcai in gray and white came out from it.

"Yingcai, what's going on, didn't you tell me to listen to this young master! Why..."

As soon as he saw Yingcai, He Longtao's expression became ugly, and he berated Yingcai aggressively.

Yingcai seemed to have been greatly wronged, and whispered in He Longtao's ear:

"Shopkeeper, this young master is looking for the headquarters of the Thief Gate. Although I know the terrain of Xuzhou City very well and have guessed about the location of the headquarters of the Thief Gate, we are not from the world after all. Once this young master goes to the God Thief Gate to provoke , if the person who steals the door asks, the situation of our Qingyun Inn is not very good."

He Longtao groaned softly, beating the rocking chair with one hand, as if he was meditating silently.

Naturally, Ji Tiancheng heard what Yingcai said to the old shopkeeper, but he didn't expect that Yingcai, a mere inn boy, actually knew the clue of the thief's door.

However, seeing He Longtao hesitated so much, he pretended to be very disappointed, sighed lightly, and said to the two of them:

"Since the shopkeeper and this little brother are in such a difficult situation, then I'll find another way!"

He Longtao's face changed when he heard the words, he didn't expect Ji Tiancheng to be so anxious, he wanted to delay agreeing for a while, in order to increase Ji Tiancheng's gratitude to him.

Naturally, he didn't dare to procrastinate any longer. If Ji Tiancheng really found clues to the Thief's Gate in other ways and didn't need this news, wouldn't it mean that he couldn't sell favors to Ji Tiancheng.

He Longtao hastily replied: "Young Master, don't worry, you can tell from his face that he is not a reckless person. I agree to this matter."

After that, He Longtao turned his head to look at Yingcai who bowed his head beside him and said, "Yingcai, I don't think this young master is reckless, so please tell this young gentleman what you know!"

When Yingcai heard He Longtao's words, he naturally lost his worries and said to Ji Tiancheng:
"My lord, I have lived in Xuzhou City for nearly ten years, and I have quite a lot of experience in the relationship between the terrain and forces in Xuzhou City, so I can vaguely guess that the door of the thief should be right behind the Qingyun Inn." Settle on the Red Copper Mountain a hundred miles away."

Hearing this, Ji Tiancheng couldn't help asking curiously: "Oh, why?"

He Longtao also listened to Yingcai's words with great interest, guessing the truth of the matter.

"Young Master, I don't know. There are four first-class forces in Xuzhou City, namely? The Liu family in the east of the city, the Wang family in the south of the city, and the Chen family in the north of the city. There is another family that is said to be far superior to other first-class forces in Xuzhou City. It is located in the west of Xuzhou City. The city lord's mansion.?"

Ji Tiancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he murmured in his heart: "The City Lord's Mansion..."

Yingcai's eyes were wandering with thoughts, and his spirit was completely immersed in his own world. Then he continued to analyze:

"Xuzhou City in Yunzhou has been inherited for hundreds of years. It has a vast terrain and covers an area of ​​about [-] miles. It is not too big or too small."

Hearing this, Ji Tiancheng also nodded towards Yingcai: "Well, this Xuzhou city is indeed not small."

Although above Kyushu, a city can only be called a big city if it occupies an area of ​​thousands of miles, but Xuzhou City itself occupies a large area, and it is said that there is also a top force sitting in it, so the definition is completely different.

If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons.It is also for this reason that Xuzhou City has a top power, whether it is the overall status or other things, it has become completely different.

"In Xuzhou City, except for these four first-rate forces occupying the four corners of Xuzhou City, the rest are basically scattered second- and third-rate forces in Xuzhou City, vying for territory. However, there is one place that is like Xuzhou. The territory of the four first-class forces in the city is the same, inviolable, and no idle force has ever dared to approach and compete for this place, that is Red Copper Mountain."

Ji Tiancheng was still thinking about Yingcai's words, and He Longtao, who was also standing outside the accountant's room, suddenly realized:
"So that's how it is. The Headquarters of the Thief Gate originally settled on Red Copper Mountain. No wonder, no wonder."

Ji Tiancheng recovered from his contemplation, raised his head and said to He Longtao:
"Could it be that the old shopkeeper knows something?"

Originally, He Longtao was only responsible for collecting information about suspicious people from outside in the forces behind Xuzhou City, so he didn't know much about these.

However, he had heard some news related to some ordinary Jianghu rumors, and when he heard Ji Tiancheng's question, he replied in a flat tone:
"It's nothing. I heard earlier that there is a hidden first-class force on Red Copper Mountain, but I didn't expect it to be the God of Thieves. But it is true. After all, Zhewanwu is still there. With his hidden weapon, Xuzhou There are only two hands in the city who can fight against him. With him in charge of the God Thief Gate, it is normal for the God Thief Gate to be compatible with the four major forces."

After hearing this, Ji Tiancheng understood the reason of the matter, and said softly:
"So that's the case, thank you shopkeeper and this little brother for clearing my confusion!"

He Longtao is also full of smiles:
"You're welcome. Young Master is a distinguished guest of my Qingyun Inn. If that Young Master has something to do, I, Qingyun Inn, will do my best to help."
