The Riddler Get Out of Terra

The orange cat picked up the teacup and placed it in the center of the table. He also picked up the cups of Taihe, Zuo Le, Jingzhe, and Wu You, and clustered them around his teacup. He pointed at the cups that were tightly clustered together and spoke calmly. The three Si Suitai spies, who were in higher positions than themselves, said:

"The cups and the tea in the cups have been completely distributed, so the next focus is to keep this table stable. Don't let the table be overturned by some people outside the table, and don't let the table fall into disrepair and be unable to bear the load—— All I have seen and heard in recent years is nothing more than these two points.”

"I've heard a little bit about the counterfeit banknote case," Orange Cat took out another empty cup and poured a little from Jingzhe's cup. He also took out a little tea from Taihe and Zuo Le's cups and poured some tea into the empty cups. A little liquid: "What Yuri did was just take something from the hands of a few adults, and then he took a little tea on the surface, but he actually only took a sip..."

Hao Zhao picked up the teapot and filled Zuo Le's, Taihe's, and Jingzhe's cups one after another. However, when it was almost full, he deliberately paused for a moment, and each time he shook the empty cup a few times, and a lot of it flowed out. Boiling hot tea comes out:

"Yuri took a sip and left, but the cup was still there, and luckily it wasn't smashed open. In this case, the person who was drinking water bit by bit got thinking - usually he can only drink a bit. Drink it drop by drop, why can’t you use an empty cup to drink tea in big gulps?”

Zuo Le pursed his lips. Hao Zhao didn't say it clearly, but the young man already understood what he meant. In other words, after hearing Hao Zhaoyi's pointed words, he remembered what his father, General Zuo, had said to him back then, and he suddenly understood. Unfinished hints:

Originally, I could only eat bits and pieces of scraps leaking out of the neat and tight fishing net. Suddenly, the fishing net broke open, and a lot of fresh fish were ready to move in the mouth. The person who cut the fishing net took a fish. Shi Shiran left, patting his butt without any hesitation. Before the fisherman repaired the fishing net, the fish and shrimps who could only eat scraps became interested. They took advantage of the broken fishing net and took the opportunity to eat a lot of it—— The disaster was all caused by the person who cut the fishing net, and he took all the losses!

"...So there is no need to delve into it, and there is no way to delve into it. Yuri took the first sip, and the bold one drank a whole cup. The others drank a lot together, secretly and openly - and then Dr. Tea, who kept the accounts It was discovered that most of the tea was missing from the teapot, and the fool who was bold but careless was caught. The person who secretly drank the tea asked the caught fool to recognize the matter, even if the fool only drank one cup. , the people behind the scenes drank half the pot."

"So don't look too deeply, don't think too clearly. Some things just depend on being almost the same. Just about the same is fine. Just about the same. Keep the appearance and make the table look stable and strong. That's the most important thing. The goal."

The orange cat patted Jingzhe on the shoulder, bowed his hands to Zuo Le and Taihe, picked up Wuyou and left.

The warrior who knew the final result showed a forced smile on his face, smiled as if he was crying at the three spies, and left with Hao Zhao.

"..."

For a long time after the two insiders left, silence has always been the main theme of the discussion room. When the tea is cold and the heat is no longer there, one of them will let out a long sigh, followed by a series of unpleasant words. sigh.

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

"Benefactor, I have thought about it. I plan to join the Taiping Sect."

"No regrets? The Taiping Religion is not some kind of heaven on earth. You have already seen the abilities of Hong Quan and Xia Chuan. In less than two weeks, Gou Wu was turned upside down. The conflict was so great that the slums and the aristocratic family almost had to resort to knife-even So, do you also want to join the Taiping Religion?"

"..."

"Moreover, after this incident, you have already registered your name with Jingzhe and the others. You are considered a capable person. If you plan to give up revenge, you can still enter the Yanguo system and become an official. Yes, have you really decided?"

"It's decided."

"No regrets?"

"I don't regret it. Now, I finally see clearly. After all... we are still strangers who can't go together."

"...Yes, after all, we are...strangers."

Chapter 185 Silent Roar

Late night hookup

Wucheng is not lonely. In the slums, there is moonlight and breeze to accompany the people of Wucheng. Those who are sleeping hide in their rooms and sit dreaming, hoping that tomorrow will be a good day. Those who cannot sleep hide in the shadows and watch. In the dark and endless night, I think about whether tomorrow can continue.

In the vast area outside the slums, people are still talking about the major events that happened today. One storyteller after another blurts out his guess in the teahouse. It may not be correct, but it must be very dramatic and can make everyone who comes to the tavern and teahouse drink. The tea drinker was so happy that he threw the copper plate into his own bowl.

As for whether this is the case... can a storyteller know clearly?

Those who have a clear understanding of matters involving the government are either people within the system, or... the person who dominates everything from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, their task is to spit out funny or ridiculous guesses from their mouths. Whether it is to gain a sense of superiority from visitors or to get lovable rewards from ordinary people, they can have a good night and earn enough reward money. , isn’t this great!

As for the insider, whether he burst into laughter or became furious, it has nothing to do with ordinary Gouwucheng people, right?

So when there was a huge earthquake in the officialdom of Gouwucheng, the city lord's palace was lit day and night, and countless anxious and exhausted souls were pacing and unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Gouwucheng was still brightly lit, and the wind and moon remained, serving as a role in the blood vessels of this city. The blood people drank wine and tea, and joked about the various stories that happened to the Gouwu family into the Gouwu history books, and picked up the Gouwu history that was passed down orally.

The story of Lian Zixu has been mentioned repeatedly. Under the deliberate request of the old gentlemen who lived in Yanguo temple, all parties involved in the arrest kept secret about the counterfeit banknote case and the various characters involved in the counterfeit banknote case. The case ended here. In Gouwu City, the end of the Gouwu family is a result that everyone loves to see.

So this matter was destined to be dealt with coldly. It was started by a certain film and evolved from one person's greed into a counterfeit money case involving countless groups of carnivals. This major case that almost shook the entire Yan Kingdom was destined to end in obscurity in a small A Gouwu city.

It takes a month, two months, or even half a year for people to realize the aftershocks of a certain incident from their claws. Finally, word of mouth spreads, acquiescing to all the propaganda, confession, filth, and light, and The day goes on.

Before that, many things had to be kept secret. No one was qualified to open the bottle of sealed secrets until Emperor Yan personally announced it.

So for Gouwucheng, what events can be connected with the arrest of the family?

It will definitely not be something that ordinary people face - if it really has anything to do with them, City Lord Gou Wu should have dropped these bastards who have killed a thousand swords and hanged them on the street lamp, and left a seat for himself. After all, it is almost the default rule in Yan Kingdom for current officials to be closely related to local aristocratic families. Officials who do not do so are either people in the court, or they are trapped in the mansion and have become ostracized mascots.

——Politics is the politics of people. Thousands of years of Yanguo's rule have naturally made it easy for all kinds of intertwined relationships to develop here. When the word aristocratic family, no matter how big or small, is mentioned, it means that they have been deeply rooted in this place. There is no distinction between countries.

Across the Yan Kingdom, there are always powerful families, large and small, entrenched in every detail of power. Their people occupy many intimidating positions with small official positions but great actual power, and they control the order of the entire Yan Kingdom in obscurity.

When a group has power, they always want this power to gain privileges for themselves. Once they seek privileges, it will naturally harm the power of other groups, and this group can only and must be the weakest.

Naturally, the people who suffer the most in Gouwucheng are ordinary people who don't seem to be important. The aristocratic families seem to have little reputation, but in fact they are everywhere. The power and money collude with each other are terrifying. The real money makers in Gouwucheng are Industry, Gou Wu Family will always take a share of it.

As time goes on, this city built by the ancestors of Gouwu City has become the property of other people. Even the successive city lords have joined forces with aristocratic families to jointly rule this city that has been repeatedly reorganized in natural disasters.

Therefore...everything that happened to the Gouwu family must have nothing to do with them, ordinary people like them.

People's shouts have always contained words that are very inconsistent with the values ​​​​of the modern Yan country.

So whose fault should have caused this avalanche?

There is no reason for the Gou Wu City Lord to do this. The Gou Wu family is not a fool. It is impossible for them to cut off their own arms. No, judging from the situation they are facing now, this is no longer called cutting off their own arms, but should be called piercing their own aorta!

So what should be the reason for this?

People thought carefully and speculated constantly, and finally, the event that had been a hot topic not long ago appeared in front of the drinkers and tea drinkers:

Thief!

What is the reason for stealing the saint?

It's that honest and honest heroine!

She was forced to die based on the rules of the world, but behind the incident stood the living Gou Wu family!

Now that the Gouwu family has been sanctioned by the Yan Kingdom for no reason, it must be Lian Nuxia's former companions who are working hard to avenge her!

The storyteller followed the thread of this story that was naturally at the forefront of the storm and compiled it with a smile. In their mouths, the old friend of the upright and honest heroine has gradually advanced from a powerful figure in the world to a high-ranking official in the Yan Kingdom. He must be right in his heart. Lian Nuxia admires her very much, but she feels inferior to her own status and dare not pursue the vivid Yanguo heroine.

He must

He loved her so much that he missed her even when he was working and studying but did not dare to see her. Finally, Chiqinglang received the news of the death of his beloved and was crazy about love and began to secretly formulate an encirclement and suppression network against the Gou Wu family.

Ok……

The storyteller just thought about it for a moment and realized that this kind of encirclement and suppression network that can uproot a city's aristocratic families cannot be supported by one person. So in their story, Lian Nuxia's old lover quickly expanded from one person to As a team, the heroine who rescued people in distress quickly transformed into a romantic and stunning beauty in various versions of the story, attracting countless men in high positions to linger on and grit their teeth to avenge her after her death.

What's more, some people feel that such a story is not exciting enough, so they insist on adding some romantic anecdotes, which is self-defeating. In his mouth, Lian Zixu quickly degenerates into a corrupt beauty who attracts bees and butterflies. Big shot!special! .

People always like to hear about big people falling from the altar, so this storyteller who always likes to invent big people who died early and no one would take revenge began to continue his story with great interest:

"But the Lian female hero smiled at Magistrate Xia and slowly took off the sleeves of her seemingly normal uniform. Magistrate Xia looked under the light and found that the thin clothing was not the costume of a chivalrous and righteous person? She was clearly wearing a suit and a half. Woven with impermeable silk! Lian Nuxia twists her body towards the prefect..."

"Ouch!!"

He let out a painful groan, and then fell to the ground miserably, screaming loudly. The drinkers surrounding him walked back drunkenly, but a few boldly squinted their eyes and looked forward. Just in time to see a few sharp stones thrown with great force, they plunged into the buttocks of this ungrateful storyteller.

In just a short moment, the sleeves behind his buttocks were stained with blood!

The drinkers retreated even further - storytellers always fall over when they say the wrong thing, and there is nothing wrong with being retaliated against for being ungrateful. They just ran back!

After all, they had given him rewards before, right?

Chapter 186 Silent Roar

"Let's go. The lesson has been taught. This person will never arrange other people's affairs casually again."

Xia Chuan, who stood up, patted Wuyou's shoulders, and Hong Quan, who had finished drinking tea, also smiled and lifted Li Boli's trembling shoulders.

They listened to the storyteller's entire arrangement process from beginning to end. At first, the other person only brushed off a little bit, and could still keep his face expressionless. But as the person became more interested, the laughter of the people around him became more and more intense. After going too far, the last disciple of Lian Zixu finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw the sharp stones handed over by Hong Quan.

But even though he was furious because his mentor was insulted, he carefully crushed the sharp stone arrows that had been sharpened into several small stones without causing any harm.

That gambling fight caused so much damage to Wu You that even after years of being on the run, when he really wanted to take action, he still habitually held back.

——A victory that is equivalent to defeat, the victorious self, the dead master, the so-called "people in the world" surrounding Lian's martial arts hall, the Gou Wu family who shout about the rules of the world...

His life fell apart in an instant, and traces of the past could no longer be found. The weeds in Lian's martial arts school could still be removed by the return of people on the increasingly desolate plains, but the scars on his soul were hard to be removed by anything. Warmth heals again.

"With your master's affairs being involved in this matter, such people cannot be stopped."

Hong Quan seemed to see the secret behind Wuyou's hesitation. During their stay in Gouwucheng, he and Xia Chuan turned over almost all the stories about Wuyou, from entering Gouwucheng to being embarrassed by his enemies. After the forced eviction was over, his scaly claws were still lingering in the memories of the people in Wucheng.

When you know a person's past, you can judge that person's present and even future. As the information about Wuyou becomes more comprehensive, more and more future observations about Wuyou in Hong Quan's upper vision are deleted. Until now, there has even been a spectacle of only one future in the prediction of nothingness.

When someone who can see into your future talks to you, he can always guess what people are thinking.

Therefore, Hong Quan's words always attracted Wu Wu's attention, causing him to fall awkwardly into the wisdom disciple's words, and his attention was attracted by his words:

"Indeed, if my master were still alive and knew that she was arranged in this way, she would probably pick up a fan and give me a few hard blows to make me understand what it means to respect a teacher."

Li Boli smiled bitterly at Hong Quan, who was also from Li Boli, and told the young man his thoughts as if in a dream. The image of a young man who suddenly broke away from his master's care was so vivid in Hong Quan's eyes that he didn't even need to prepare. He said casually If you use it, you can target the opponent's spiritual weakness:

"Your Majesty, who was struggling in the world in his early years, how could he not be clear about these things? Even if he was arranged by someone, he would definitely handle it quickly, shut up those who said something that shouldn't be said, and let the voices that he didn't want to hear stay away from him. Farther away.”

"On the contrary, there are no brothers. If Lian Nuxia knows that you are so determined to avenge her, even if you don't mention it, you will be very happy in your heart."

He carefully prepared his words in the direction that would make Wu You the most gratified, and soon the Libo people laughed.

Wu You patted Hong Quan's hand with tears on his face, and stood up with the help of his strength. The three of them all picked up the tea cup, took a last sip, and left the messy storyteller and the teahouse owner with a smile.

"What does Master Hao think of this matter? Are we doing well?"

On the way to the slums, Xia Chuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked Wu You intentionally or unintentionally, with just the right amount of anxiety on his face, as if a young man who was worthy of leaving home to go out on his own met his elder brother who stayed at home and asked cautiously. Parents’ views on starting their own business over the years.

——The more you travel in the world of the Four Gods, the more you can understand how amazing what Hao Zhao did that day was. While ordinary Taiping believers were still shocked by the power of the Four Gods, it turned out that someone had already harnessed the power of the Four Gods. Make it like an arm directs.

When he first became a follower of the Four Gods, Hong Quan was full of ambition and thought about what level of disciple Hao Zhao was. He was confident that whatever Orange Cat could do, he would be able to do it in the near future.

When he first advanced to become a senior wisdom believer, Hong Quan discovered something was wrong. The more he explored the power of the Four Gods, the more he realized how unbelievable what Hao Zhao did that day was. It seemed that he... couldn't do it at all. To Hao Zhao's level?

As time goes by, the young and energetic Four Gods believers realize more and more facts. The image of the orange cat becomes taller and more mysterious, and he becomes more and more separated from his human side. Rather, the limit of the Four Gods' believers and the proof of being chosen by the Four Gods exist in the impressions of the Four Gods' believers.

So when asked about Hao Zhao's thoughts on the things they had done, even with Xia Chuan and Hong Quan's increasingly deep-seated city, they couldn't help but wonder.

"Ah, my benefactor, my benefactor said that I will be a four-god believer from now on. What I should do is up to me. He doesn't plan to take care of it. He just asked me to pay more attention. If you two need anything in the future, I will definitely reach out. Help, don’t let your friends feel cold.”

Wu You smiled and waved, and relayed what Hao Zhao told him before saying goodbye to his colleagues who were about to preach together with him. However, there were some words that he had to keep in his heart and no one could say them:

"No, you must not be soft-hearted in monitoring the Taiping Religion. The Four Gods are not stable. Yes, yes, I know that after you connected to the Four Gods network, you found that there was no impact on the individual's mind, and there was no spiritual pollution. "

"But it is so stable now because the Nanhua Immortal of the Taiping Sect has done something. He stole the power of the four gods in the 'Void Realm', the uppermost spiritual world that mortals cannot touch and immortals dare not touch, and used it to control the surging power of the gods." The spiritual energy is so surging that mortals will be quickly infected just by sensing it, leading them to the highest spiritual world that mortals can peer into, the 'Mansu' to kill the virus."

"We also used the gap between Mansu and the real world to filter out a little bit of stable spiritual energy for the Four Gods' followers to use."

"Yes, there are two consecutive layers of filtering. Each layer of filtering is mixed with a large number of small layers of filtering. Each layer of filtering will filter out [-]% of the spiritual influence - but even so, the spiritual energy of the four gods In this world, it is still as vast as the sea, and can be used by Taiping believers unscrupulously."

"So, can you understand the terrifying impact that the Four Gods will have once they lose control? They are the ocean, and a drop of water leaking out of this ocean can actually be used by the Four Gods cultists in the Yan Kingdom."

"As the followers of the Four Gods continue to expand, the Four Gods will be getting closer and closer to the present world. By then..."

Hao Zhao's meaningful warning before leaving still rang in Wuyou's ears, boiling with excitement.

Chapter 187 Silent Roar

"Is the counterfeit banknote case really not related to us?"

Hao Zhao adjusted the last remaining boulder that sealed the Titan Lunqiao for the last time to facilitate the positioning of the largest God of Life among the feathers. Watching the boulder gradually become transparent and the moonlight passing through, it spontaneously displayed various mysterious words. The orange cat suddenly asked road.

"Huh?" Kong Ming, who was assisting the God of Life in Mansu, was stunned. After thinking for a while, he finally understood what the counterfeit banknote case Hao Zhao was talking about was: "You said Yuri caused trouble in the Yan Kingdom? "

"Yes, I saw some angry things here in Gou Wu, and I can't understand some of them."

Hao Zhao hesitated for a while before sending Qinglong a summary of what he saw and heard.

With the extension of the life cycle of the Feathers, their own memories in the Psionic Sea are no longer something that can be shared by all members. Although they are still preserved in the increasingly vast tide of the Psionic Sea, reading a certain person carefully What happens in the life cycle of feathers would be quite troublesome even for Qiao Lun himself.

Fortunately, solving problems has always been Qiao Lun's specialty, and Feathers doesn't have the humiliation required in normal social interactions. When they have important communication intentions, transferring memory clips has become a common method of communication.

The transfer of memory was faster than the fastest network on earth before Qiao Lun traveled through it. Almost the moment after Hao Zhao transferred the memory, Kong Ming, who understood everything, sighed softly in the sky.

"This matter about Yuri was indeed my idea from the beginning." He said softly to the orange cat, explaining the beginning and end of the matter about Yuri clearly from beginning to end:

"To explore a country's war potential, we must pay attention to all aspects of it. Can its economy allow long-term warfare? What are its customs, customs, and social atmosphere like? Is it a pressure cooker that is suppressed and about to explode, or is it full of contradictions? Regardless of whether we die in silence in the wasteland, the former always initiates war, while the latter becomes more and more silent."

"I want to observe how fast and stable their response and countermeasures are when faced with natural and man-made disasters. I also want to see what the soldiers in the army are like and what the civil servants in the temple are like.

, and what Yanhuang is like. "

"So I wrote a mission for Yuri, asking him to use Feather's natural intelligence advantage to do something in the Yan Kingdom. He first inspected the Yan Kingdom and used the identity and background of the dead unlucky Yuri to conduct a background check. , and finally chose the simplest and most difficult to detect detection method - the economy is an intangible thing. Before the advent of the data era, it was difficult to find out the relationship between several bad debts due to the deliberate vagueness of the initiators. "

"As long as Yuri dies in Longmen, all problems will come to an abrupt end. No one can see through the waves how many people are dancing on the sails. But once a disaster arises, it will not end easily. There is only one source of bad things. It’s the wishful thinking people have in fairy tales.”

Qinglong was silent for a moment, as if he was looking at himself, and at Gouwucheng who made this happen:

"After the counterfeit banknote case was launched, Yuri only took one year's quota and ran away. He bought a large amount of supplies to provide to Kazdel - after all, as we all know, the early accumulation of capital is always full of blood in order to quickly accumulate wealth. He ate I think it is very worthwhile to bring a large amount of raw materials and technical books to Kazdaele with the flesh and blood of the Yan Kingdom."

"But then we were no longer the ones who continued to create chaos in this carnival. There were people everywhere in the Yan Kingdom. In recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently in the Yan Kingdom. For some reason, the Yan Kingdom's court also mobilized a large number of people and material resources for military use. The refugees became more and more There are more and more people coming, they are a natural labor force, and they are also a group that can easily keep secrets.”

"It's not because they are strict with their mouths, but as long as they act afterwards, no one knows where these unidentified people have gone. Maybe they were robbed by bandits, or maybe they were attacked by a natural disaster. Their disappearance will not attract people. By paying attention, it is easy to obliterate all evidence.”
