"That's true!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Why on earth does the Thief Saint want to challenge the big family in Gouwucheng?"

……

The noisy sound in the teahouse could not erase the message. Jingzhe just sat on the chair and took a sip of tea, almost clarifying the context:

Not long ago, a thief came to Gouwucheng and stole the collector's pawns from the big families here. He exchanged them for gold leaves and gave them to every household in the slums of Gouwucheng. However, the big family naturally would not give up and began to fight with the poor people who could catch them. The two had just experienced an all-out martial arts battle a while ago, and many servants of wealthy families were beaten to death in slums.

But now the rich people have learned the lesson and raised the prices around the slums to more than ten times, making it clear that they want to take back all the gold leaves from the mud-legged people.

However, the mud-legged people are not fools either. They all started to buy rice and noodles in other shops of all sizes in Gouwucheng, trying to get the golden leaves out as quickly as possible. They even entrusted people whom the clerk did not know to go to the store to purchase, so that The clerk sells the goods at the initial price.

"Just by doing this, the friction is getting bigger and bigger. We are all from the same city, but now we are fighting over a little money. I even saw many people go to the homes of rich families and throw things like grain and reincarnation. The conflicts are getting more and more intense, and even So sharp that there was bloodshed.”

Two middle-aged men sitting opposite each other drinking tea next to Jingzhe were drinking and chatting. They inadvertently explained the imminent situation in Gouwucheng clearly. Qilin lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them, remembering their appearance:

Although the people of Yan State have begun to pay more attention to education than before, the matter of reading and understanding is still more common in nobles and wealthy families. People who can sort out clues while drinking tea often hold high positions in Gouwucheng. .

Maybe they, the secret agents of the Yan Kingdom, will have to contact Gouwucheng for their next investigation. After all, it is better to know some capable people in Gouwucheng than to know nothing at all.

"It's more than just bleeding." Another middle-aged man said unceremoniously, his thick brush-like eyebrows frowning tightly: "You and I both know that this is a conflict with the local customs of Wucheng. If the conflict really comes to the end, it may be resolved by judicial arbitration. Really? The poor people in Gouwucheng are not well-tamed in other mobile cities!"

"They are really capable of taking advantage of the night..."

The middle-aged man made a clicking sound at the side of his mouth and spread his palm flat on his neck, hinting at the outcome of this conflict:

"Everyone knows what those wealthy households did. Not long ago, they provoked people they couldn't afford to offend. The civilian warriors they recruited suffered so many casualties that they were almost unable to recover. How can they have an easier time if the poor take action in this situation?"

"But the poor also have something to say," the gentler middle-aged man said helplessly: "Those gold leaves are not something belonging to the rich. I know that these people will never melt gold and silver into such scattered pieces, so... …What evidence is there that the gold leaf is theirs?”

The radical middle-aged man was suddenly speechless.

"Are we going to side with the rich? Do we have to say that the golden leaves belong to them? You have also made it clear that the residents of Gouwu City are not the domesticated people in the large mobile city. Who is really so unhuman? They can’t protect us.”

The gentle middle-aged man whispered, and pointed at the increasingly excited tea drinker with the radical middle-aged man's finger:

"You see, this storyteller just casually mentioned some bad things that rich people have done, which made the people who came to drink tea so angry. People can't calm down because of the losses. Public opinion has become overwhelming. If we are not on the right side, it is really He’s going to die..."

"But it is said that the Lian heroine is indeed miserable. People from all over the world caught her flaws and bloodied her to pay for her crimes. She was used to punishing bullies when she was young, but she didn't want to be caught by the bullies' children and grandchildren when she was old. Live in a flaw and lose your life..."

The storyteller was shocked and applauded everywhere.

"How's the harvest?"

Three cloaked spies gathered together and whispered to each other to find out what information they had gained.

"A thief has appeared in Gouwucheng, and he is robbing the rich to give to the poor, and pretending to be public for personal gain."

Taihe made a fool of himself and told the initial rough information.

"The thief gave every household in the slum a piece of gold leaf. The wealthy family suffered huge losses and wanted to steal it to replenish their wealth. The conflict between the two parties became more and more serious, and even bloodshed occurred."

Zuo Le followed Taihe and told him the information he had collected.

"The gold leaf does not belong to the rich. Someone stole the property of the rich, but it was not stolen by a thief who was named 'Holy Thief' by the residents of Wucheng. It remains to be investigated, and..."

Jingzhe was silent for a while, and then revealed his deeper speculation in the curious eyes of Zuo Le and Taihe:

"The core of the 'stealing saint' incident is related to the Lian martial arts school case in Gouwucheng a few months ago, and has little to do with the counterfeit banknote case."

Zuo Le and Taihe fell into silence: Jingzhe was right. As Yanguo officials, they should be aware of the vicious events happening in the city of Gouwu City Lord, require him to enforce the law impartially, and quickly resolve the increasingly harsh situation in Gouwu.

However, as Yanguo secret agents, they do not have the authority to submit reports on cases that occurred in Gouwucheng - Jingzhe specializes in investigating counterfeit banknote cases. Zuo Le and Taihe seem to be assisting Jingzhe in handling the case, but secretly their real mission is to investigate the old people near Gouwucheng. Beast Incarnation is about the missing year beast.

After the counterfeit banknote case was concluded, they even had to part ways directly. One party returned to Beijing to report on his work, and the other went to Longmen for on-the-spot investigation.

However, none of these things were directly related to the Thief Saint. They had no reason to take action. Even if they used the secret agent authority to mobilize guards from Lord Gou Wu to participate in the investigation, they could only conduct a brief investigation within the scope of their duties.

What's more, those wealthy households are not good people. Now, in order to snatch the gold leaves from the hands of the poor, they are driving up prices and speculating on goods, causing great damage to the Gouwucheng market. The hatred between the poor and them is getting worse. It even started to develop into bloody conflicts...

Even if Jingzhe was neutral on this matter, she had to admit that Gou Wucheng's wealthy family's behavior was extremely irrational and would cause unimaginable consequences.

"Sir, your tea is here!"

The tea doctor in the teahouse put the sweat towel on his shoulders, made a snapping sound, put the boiled tea on the table of the three spies with his right hand, and reminded them with a smile.

"Ah, okay, let's leave the tea for now, and let's get some tea cakes and..."

Jingzhe winked at Zuo Le, and the young man who was hesitant to speak immediately fell silent and began to ask Dr. Tea to bring some refreshments.

Eventful autumn...

The suddenly complicated situation made the young senior official from Si Suitai sigh helplessly - if this continues, he might not be able to find any evidence at all when he goes to Longmen to investigate the matter of the Sui beast, right?

But the counterfeit banknote case also has a bad impact and is extremely important. If it is not investigated and understood, Zuo Le is even more unwilling.

Dr. Tea smiled and served refreshments to the three hidden spies, allowing this small group that was about to decide the political fate of Gouwucheng to take advantage of them.

------------------

"Huh? A stranger who is not a local, has a strange appearance, and his racial characteristics are like a unicorn, is here?"

Hongquan grinds tea leaves

His hand stopped for a moment, and he looked at the believer who ran over to deliver the message, with a smile on his face:

"Thank you. This news is very important. Would you like a cup of tea?"

The Liboli people handed the slow-cooked tea to the young man who was slightly out of breath due to running too fast. He helped him calm down his breathing, and then handed him the tea that had cooled down.

“Huh——, thank you, Master Hong!”

The young man was flattered and took it. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile. Although Hong Quan failed many times, he received etiquette education in dealing with others when he was in school. What he cooked carefully now is One of the tea etiquettes when entertaining superiors in official circles.

If he enters the Yan Kingdom system, he will naturally be criticized by his enemies for his indiscriminate behavior and disturbing the system. Unfortunately, Scholar Hong was frustrated before joining the Taiping Sect, and now he has no interest in drinking this for anyone. A bowl of tea doesn't matter to him.

"It's okay, the cafeteria is making some food, want to try it?"

Hong Quan waved his hand nonchalantly and let the young man taste it. After he finished drinking, he hinted.

How could a young man from a slum not understand the meaning of Reverend Hong’s words?He left with a smile on his face, not forgetting to give Hong Quan a thumbs up for the tea he had carefully prepared.

But after he left, the atmosphere in the room never relaxed.

"How is the investigation going? What happened in Gouwucheng a year ago?"

Hong Quan took out new tea leaves and put them into the tea pot. While cooking, he asked casually.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the room, and the lingering smell of plants faintly but firmly drove away all other smells. There was no answer in the hall, and it was silent as if Hong Quan was the only one.

"Of course, it's not a good thing."

It's just... Opposite Hong Quan, a voice suddenly came from a place where no one should be. Following the voice, as if being recognized again, Xia Chuan's figure reappeared on the chair bit by bit.

No, it should be said that she was always on the chair, but the young man who conveyed the message seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and did not realize that there was someone sitting across the table from Hong Quan!

"Is this the psychological invisibility of the soul?" Hong Quan glanced at Xia Chuan with great interest, his tea-making hand still steady: "No wonder Hao Xianchang always said that this trick is very effective in the countryside and mobile cities with underdeveloped technology. , even if you were sitting right in front of him, he wouldn’t even realize it.”

"Don't mention it, it's just that I'm not good enough in cultivation." Xia Chuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "The current stage of performance will be seen by dead objects such as cameras, but when I complete the upgrade and enter the next stage, psychological invisibility can I lurked into his inner world, and no observation could observe me."

"But if you want to advance, you have to find believers. There are only so many believers in the spiritual lineage now. I don't know when I can advance!"

Xia Chuan patted his head, his face full of reluctance: "The life line is so suitable for preaching. Every time I look at the number of believers in the sect, I feel myocardial infarction. The other three lines combined are not as many as his alone!"

"There is no other way. Only when the stomach is full will people have more spiritual needs - at least the life sect does not prevent its own shallow believers from changing sects, right?"

Hong Quan smiled: "We have to make the plate bigger and let believers join in so that we can continue to divide it. Compared with the random preaching before, hasn't the growth rate of believers been increasing since the system was established?"

"That's true, you guys have two brushes, but why did you ask me to investigate that Yuri? Isn't he dead?"

Xia Chuan agreed with Hong Quan's statement. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and asked the young man.

"This is related to another story, but... I have filled in some variables in my story. Although I think there is nothing wrong with it, it would be a serious sin to delay the missionary work of the Four Gods. So, can you ask for me about that? What’s the purpose of the three people?”

Hong Quan poured water into the tea cup, covered the lid with his hand, and waited for the boiling water to gradually stimulate the fragrance of the cooked tea leaves.

Chapter 163 Weird ([-])

"Do you want to investigate the matter about the thief?"

After returning to the hotel room, Jingzhe just took off his cloak and simply adjusted his clothes. Unexpectedly, he heard a knock on the door. Qilin followed the sound and opened the door. Zuo Le led Taihe in quietly and waited for Jingzhe to close the door. , Zuo Le couldn't help but ask a question that all three of them were hesitant about.

"It's hard to say, but I plan to investigate."

Jingzhe listened carefully to the movement outside the door, and then released a slight current to scan the room for a while. It was not until the fluffy and soft golden hair was floating messily in the air that Qilin stopped resisting the surveillance measures and pulled out of the hotel. Zuo Letaihe, who had his own table and chairs in the room, expressed his judgment.

"But……"

Zuo Le frowned and stopped talking:

The case of the thief stealing the property of a wealthy family has indeed triggered the deep-seated conflicts in Gouwu City, and even brought the matter to the stage of bloody conflict. If it continues to develop, it is difficult to say whether there will be a mutiny.

However, things such as appeasing people's livelihood, determining fairness and even stabilizing prices are all the responsibilities of the city lord's palace. The involvement of these spies would be suspected of gesticulating and abusing power.

Especially now that they are still investigating the case of counterfeit banknotes and the case of missing people. The former is still in the dark. Yan Guo's exploration and investigation can only get the inference that the counterfeit banknote radiation center is in Gouwucheng. It can't even prove that there must be someone in Gouwucheng. Related to counterfeit banknotes.

clues to the latter

With timeliness, Nian Beast somehow broke free from Si Suitai's positioning on her, and the people of Yan Kingdom's strict defense of her was torn open with a huge hole. What Si Suitai couldn't accept was that they couldn't even find this No matter where the hole is, let alone making up for it in a timely manner.

What's more, the Nian beast is the incarnation of the age with the power of casting, and it will play an important role in Yanguo's future grand strategy?

The director of Sisitai who dispatched Zuo Le told Zuo Le almost bluntly - even if the counterfeit banknote case cannot be found out, there must be no pause in the investigation of the disappearance of the Sui Xiang Nian Beast. Even while he was investigating, No less than ten investigation teams went to Longmen, which shows that Yan Guo attaches great importance to this matter.

The construction of an offensive city requires extremely deep and far-reaching considerations. Every building and underground facility in the city must take into account numerous emergencies, materials, losses, offensive level and storage technology, and even every The deformation of the gear material caused by extreme use under huge pressure must be included in the countermeasures.

If Yan Guo were to study it on its own, these designs would need to be refined thousands of times, and materials would need to be extracted from Longmen that were at least thousands of times more than those needed to build an offensive mobile city. It would also require 30 years of continuous planning and research.

By the time their training is completed, Yan Guo may have missed the best time for a decisive battle - in recent years, for some unknown reason, the intensity of the Far North Demon's attack has suddenly increased crazily. Incarnations of general behemoths began to be summoned into the world little by little to join the battlefield, causing further losses and casualties.

The Heavenly Masters of the Flame Kingdom originally thought that the thousands of years of joint annihilation and resistance of many races on Terra had weakened the power of the Northern Evil to the extreme, and they even began to harbor hopes of finishing the battle. However, today, the evil has Use your strength to easily tell them such a desperate fact:

That's right, I was just doing low-intensity exercises with you before, and the real highest intensity hasn't started yet!

The light spears projected by the best of the Silver Spear Pegasus were absorbed and returned, the ancient spells of the Sami Snow Priest were instantly deconstructed and imitated, the spells of the Heavenly Masters of the Flame Kingdom that were closely related to the Origin Stone were adapted and rendered ineffective, and the demon incarnation was even just a mere By observing their attack phenomena, you can develop attack methods of the same level...

To put it bluntly, due to unknown stimulation, the activity of evil spirits began to increase to a great extent. Compared with being immersed in the sea, the adaptability and creativity of the Quiet Black Hand, who has been dazzling the Yan Kingdom until now, made the Great Yan Tianshi no less adaptable and creative. Increasingly powerless.

Their ancestors, themselves, their backs, past, present, and future, the resistance and fighting against evil things from ancient times to the present have almost become a joke under the crazy evolution speed of evil things now.

The Ursus people tried to use internal guards to save the situation. However, it was not until this moment that Terra discovered that the so-called internal guards were not "techniques that use demons" at all, but "a dangerous attempt by the Ursus people to be self-righteous and smart, but to trap themselves." .

——All the internal guards who participated in the battle against the demons in the north rebelled. The losses of the Ursus people were so great that the parliament suddenly lost its voice. There were problems with any research on the evil spirits. Colombia, Sami, Ursus... as long as there were Research and designs that resemble the devil or are different from the devil itself have all betrayed the ardent expectations of the designers and have become the minions and accomplices of the devil.

He and the Terran people's self-righteous beast masters and giant beasts are not at the same level of life at all!

The methods by which the people of the Yan Kingdom relied on to become famous and defeat all the giant beasts became a joke. The demons even began to carve simple imitation patterns on individual individuals, and used the people of the Yan Kingdom to exterminate the Yan Kingdom army by their own means. All the members of the Ursus Internal Guard transformed into The demonic body and strange life swallowed up all the support from the Ursus people.

The light of the Silver Spear Pegasus disappears in the boundless "night sky". This is a dark space shaped by the overwhelming incarnations of evil spirits that directly distort reality. All virtues and sacrifices are turned into insignificant sparks in the vast ignorance - flash and disappear in the sky. In the never-ending darkness, never to be seen again.

The Casimir Pegasus knights suffered the most tragic losses - their geniuses, the only two top knights of the Linguang family, and the knights who followed them north were all martyred.

The awakened evil demon did not intend to give anyone a chance, and the huge psychic energy distorted reality wantonly through the sky. The reason why the anti-demon alliance was delayed in moving, and even wasted the opportunity to let Kazdaile make preparations, was because of the large number of demons. All living forces are transformed into the seedbed of evil in the fetal movement of evil spirits.

The evil devil is tired of thousands of years of playing around. He plans to reveal his true nature and truly start a war!

——As long as anyone stays on the battlefield against demons for a moment, they can discover this fact that is mixed with absurdity and despair.

Yes, the Terran people's feeble resistance finally made them realize that it turned out that the evil spirits did not take them seriously at all. Every victory in the past was based on the opponent's boring chess pieces, but now the chess players feel that there is no need to play around. After going down, He began to freely move and collect stones, and even smashed huge apples and threw them on the chessboard - but the Terran people did not even have room to refuse.

What frightens the behemoths lurking among the Terran people the most is that as they can't sit still and the chips they secretly bet on the armies of various countries come into play, the demons even begin to show the hundreds of Terran monsters that they had tens of thousands of years ago. The most profound, most desperate, and most irresistible...the power of the "God from Extraterrestrial Stars".

That was the power that destroyed half a continent in one glance.

, is an extraterrestrial thing that instantly harvested [-]% of the population of Terra's ancient tribes. It is a weird deformity that makes the survivors tremble in fear whenever it appears.

The moment that little bit of essence emerged, the giant beasts all withdrew their bets, and no longer dared to bet on any power beyond Terra's technology, for fear of awakening some echo of the extraterrestrial god.

However, at this critical juncture of life and death, Nian Beast, the most important forger of Dayan's final decisive battle weapon, actually disappeared - who can survive this? !

When Si Suitai was considering whether to give up some of his freedom in exchange for the help of Sui Xiang's incarnation, the most important bargaining chip and demand were actually gone? !

Can Yan Guo not be anxious? ?

Although they have been monitoring every move of the prime ministers for a long time, blocking all their needs, and forbidding any prime minister to leave the Yan Kingdom. If there is any change, Si Suitai will be there to take care of them. The Heavenly Master of the Yan Kingdom also leads one team after another. The division hunted, suppressed, and captured.

But the big shots in the Yan Kingdom believe that as long as her brothers and sisters are mentioned, Nian Beast will definitely obey and try her best to assist the Yan Kingdom's counterattack - even as long as she wakes up the Sui Xiang who is sleeping in Shang Shu and throws her into the enemy. When the demon's Shura field comes up with suggestions, Nian Beast will urgently ask to join the fight against the enemy.

As a result... the Nian beast is gone now?

If the anti-demon alliance hadn't been too powerful and the Kazdaele First Empire had been too aggressive, the Yan Kingdom's diplomatic group would have gone to Kong Ming to ask questions.

Having said that, Zuo Le, Taihe and Jingzhe went out together in the end to investigate the latest situation.
