The next day, early morning.

"Gunzhou Mansion, I escaped in a hurry last time, but I didn't expect to come here again this time."

Fang Yue stood in front of the city gate of Gunzhou Mansion. The morning breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

He looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"The last time I escaped from this place, it was because I was forced by the situation and had to do it as a last resort."

He recalled the scene at that time, vividly in his mind, as if it happened yesterday, "And this time, I hope it will go smoothly and there will be no more accidents."

Fang Yue took a deep breath, took firm steps, and walked into the city.

He knew that this journey would not be as hasty and embarrassing as the last one, but he also knew that he would face many difficulties and challenges.

The organization whose plans he had ruined would not retreat easily.

Fang Yue understood that once he stepped into Gunzhou Mansion again, he had attracted the attention of that organization.

They will never give up and will definitely find ways to cause trouble for him.

However, he had no intention of retreating, but instead strengthened his belief.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that when he came to Gunzhou Mansion again, he would not only compete with that organization, but also the complex disputes within Si Tianjian.

He was sent to serve as the supervisor of the first government. This position was obviously not a simple appointment, there must be deep considerations behind it.

He took a deep breath and felt the morning air, as if he could smell a hint of danger.

But he did not stop because of this, but walked towards the city more determinedly.

He knew that no matter what was waiting for him ahead, he must face it bravely and go on firmly.

Besides, it’s not yet clear who is the chess player and who is the chess piece!

The streets and alleys of Gunzhou Prefecture are bustling with people and traffic.

Vendors were selling all kinds of goods, the fragrant food stalls were crowded with diners, and the cheerful laughter of children came from the streets.

Fang Yue shuttled among the crowd, feeling the unique atmosphere of this city.

His eyes were firm and his steps were steady, which seemed to be in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle around him.

He knew that he could not be fooled by these bustling scenes and must remain awake and vigilant at all times.

As he walked, he secretly observed the situation around him.

Among those bustling crowds, there might be spies of that organization hidden, and they were waiting for the opportunity to attack him.

But then I thought about it. With the style of that organization, it seemed that it had been hiding in the dark and would not show up in broad daylight.

"Uncle, please do your best and enjoy your meal."

A ragged beggar suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yue, stretching out a dirty hand and pleading.

Fang Yue was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to meet a beggar on this busy street.

He looked down at the beggar and saw that he was unkempt and skinny. It was obvious that he had not had a full meal for a long time.

At the same time.

In a restaurant not far away, the windows on the second floor were slightly open, and two people in fine clothes were sitting there quietly, their eyes occasionally glancing down at the bustling street below.

One of them was wearing a brocade robe with complex patterns embroidered with gold thread on the hem. He had an imperceptible sneer on his face and was playing with a delicate jade pendant in his hand. He seemed to know everything below him.

The other man was wearing a large cloak, and the brim of the hat covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. He stared closely in the direction of Fang Yue, as if looking for some opportunity.

"Tell me, what will our new Lord Supervisor do in the face of such a situation." Wang Tong said softly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"If the new Lord Supervisor has some skills, he will naturally be able to detect the undercurrents in Gunzhou Mansion."

The man in rich clothes sitting opposite Wang Tong is named Li Xi.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of calmness and sophistication in his voice, "But even if he notices it, what can he do? The water in Gunzhou Mansion is very deep."

When Wang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Brother Li is right. Although the new Lord Jianzheng has the support of Si Tianjian behind him, he cannot gain a firm foothold in the Gunzhou Mansion. easy."

The two of them turned their eyes to the bustling street below again, and Fang Yue's figure had disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

"But, having said that, if the new Lord Supervisor can understand current affairs and cooperate with us, maybe he can go further in the Gongzhou Mansion." Li Xi changed the subject and said meaningfully.

After Wang Tong heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he said with a smile: "Brother Li's words are reasonable. However, the new supervisor may not accept our kindness."

After hearing this, Li Xi shook his head gently and said: "Humans always have weaknesses. As long as we can find his weaknesses and exploit them, we are not afraid of him disobeying."

When Wang Tong heard this, he laughed and said: "What Brother Li said is absolutely true. Then we will wait and see whether the new supervisor can recognize the current affairs and make him a hero."

The conversation between the two drifted away in the breeze, but Fang Yue knew nothing about it.

~~~~~~~~

"Haha, who asked you to come? You're just a martial artist, and yet you dare to serve as an official of the imperial court. Do you want to rebel?"

Fang Yue looked at the beggar in front of him with a half-smile, already alert in his heart. In this bustling street, a martial artist dressed up as a beggar. No matter how you look at it, this is a conspiracy.

When the beggar heard Fang Yue's words, he was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Sir...sir, I'm just hungry and want to beg for food. I have no other intention."

Fang Yue smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He took a deep look at the beggar, and then said: "In that case, just follow me."

He turned and walked towards a remote alley. The beggar hesitated, but finally followed him.

Fang Yue observed the surrounding environment while walking, and at the same time secretly mobilized his internal energy to prevent unexpected events.

The two of them walked into the alley one after another. Fang Yue suddenly stopped, turned to face the beggar, and asked coldly: "Tell me, who are you?"

At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed from the side and pierced Fang Yue's back.

The beggar was about to answer when Fang Yue suddenly turned around and faced a cold light coming from the side.

It turns out that this beggar is just a cover, and the real murderous intention is hidden in the dark.

Fang Yue was on guard earlier, and with a sway of his body, he cleverly avoided this fatal blow.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he gave a backhand palm, and his powerful internal energy surged out, directly hitting the sneak attacker's vitals.

There was only a muffled sound of "bang", and the sneak attacker was hit by Fang Yue's palm. He flew out like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily on the wall of the alley. When he slid to the ground, he was already vomiting blood. , unconscious.

Fang Yue glanced at the sneak attacker coldly, then turned back, stared at the beggar and said, "What else do you have to say?"

The beggar's face was ashen at this moment. He knew that he had been exposed, and Fang Yue's strength was far beyond his imagination.

He said with a trembling voice: "I...I am from Black Wind Hall, and I was ordered to test your strength. But...but I didn't expect you to be so strong..."

"Black Wind Hall?" Fang Yue frowned, the name was a bit unfamiliar.

Is this a local gang in Gunzhou Prefecture?

There seemed to be no information directly related to this name in his memory, but that didn't mean it was an insignificant gang.

He sneered and continued: "Testing my strength? You Black Wind Hall are so brave! How dare you attack Si Tianjian? Do you want to rebel?"

What?

Si Tianjian?

Si Tianjian, Gunzhou Mansion, and even the entire Zhou Dynasty, Si Tianjian was an extremely mysterious and powerful existence.

Not only do they control the world's intelligence, but they also have deep backgrounds and strengths that are unknown to everyone.

"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!"

The beggar kowtowed repeatedly and said in a trembling voice, "I really don't know that you are the master of Si Tianjian. We are just following orders. Please be merciful and spare my life!"

Fang Yue looked at the beggar in front of him coldly, but his heart was in turmoil.

This beggar knows nothing, but the person who instigates him may not know anything.

Moreover, they were able to send martial artist-level beggars to test his strength, which also showed how much they valued themselves.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue became more vigilant.

The beggar swallowed and continued: "It was the hall master who asked us to come. He said that a big shot came to Gunzhou Mansion recently and asked us to test his strength."

"Oh? A big shot?" Fang Yue raised his eyebrows, having already guessed it. Presumably this so-called "big shot" should be himself. The news that he came to Gunzhou Mansion has reached the ears of Black Wind Hall, and they obviously have plans against him.

Fang Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He knew that the most important thing now was to figure out what the Black Wind Hall wanted to do and the relationship between them and Si Tianjian.

"What else did your hall master say?" he continued to ask.

The beggar shook his head and said: "The hall master's affairs will never be told to us subordinates. We are only responsible for carrying out tasks. Really, sir, I have told you everything I know."

Fang Yue looked at the beggar in front of him and knew in his heart that this beggar was just a chess piece, and he probably didn't know the true purpose of Black Wind Hall.

"Then take me to see your hall master!"

Fang Yue's words made the beggar's face turn pale instantly.

He looked at Fang Yue in horror, as if he saw the god of death coming.

"Sir...Sir, I...I'm just a little beggar, how can I know where the hall master is?" he said in a trembling voice.

Fang Yue looked at him coldly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He knew that the beggar was not telling the truth.

Since he is from Black Wind Hall, it is impossible for him not to know the whereabouts of the hall master.

"Don't play tricks in front of me!"

Fang Yue said sharply, "I know you are from Black Wind Hall, and I also know that your hall master must be in Gunzhou Mansion. If you don't want to suffer physical pain, just take me to find him!"

The beggar was frightened by Fang Yue's words and trembled. He knew that he had no way out.

If he refuses Fang Yue's request, then there is only death waiting for him.

However, if he really takes Fang Yue to find the hall master, will the hall master let him go?

He was hesitant in his heart, but looking at Fang Yue's cold eyes, he knew that he had no other choice.

"Okay... okay, I'll take you to find the hall master." The beggar said helplessly.

Fang Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then followed the beggar into the depths of the alley.

He knew that although this beggar was just a small character, he was the key to finding the hall master of the Black Wind Hall.

As long as he could find the hall master of the Black Wind Hall, he would be able to uncover the true face of this mysterious organization.

The two walked one after the other and soon came to a remote courtyard. The beggar stopped and pointed to the courtyard and said, "Sir, the hall master is inside."

Fang Yue glanced at the shabby courtyard, but he was extremely alert in his heart.

Would the hall master of the Black Wind Hall stay in this seemingly inconspicuous courtyard?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he did not show his expression on his face. He just nodded lightly and motioned the beggar to lead the way.

The beggar swallowed his saliva, walked forward with a stiff upper lip, and pushed open the door of the courtyard.

Fang Yue followed closely behind and stepped into the courtyard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked quite desolate. Several dilapidated houses stood there quietly, as if no one had lived there for a long time.

However, Fang Yue keenly sensed a hint of unusual breath.

His eyes were stern, and he used his internal strength to vigilantly observe the situation around him.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from the house.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a figure walking out of the house and coming to the center of the yard.

The man was wearing a black robe, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. His eyes were like knives, staring coldly at Fang Yue and the beggar.

"Hall... Hall Master..."

The beggar was so scared when he saw the man that he trembled all over, and even his voice trembled a little.

Fang Yue knew in his heart that this man in black should be the master of the Black Wind Hall.

"You really dare to come, you are so brave!"

The man in black said coldly, with a hint of admiration in his voice.

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Master, you are too kind. Since I dare to come here, I am not afraid."

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he stared at Fang Yue closely, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"Oh? Not afraid? Won't you beg for mercy later?" The man in black said sarcastically.

Fang Yue shook his head and said, "Beg for mercy? It's not certain who will beg for mercy. But you, hiding your head and showing your tail, dare not show your true face to others, which is a bit disappointing."

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he said coldly: "You want to see my true face? That depends on whether you have the ability!"

As soon as the voice fell, the man in black suddenly shook and turned into a black shadow to attack Fang Yue. (End of this chapter)
