I will hunt down this world

Speaking up to this point, the great sage seemed to be emitting a shining holy light all over his body.

However, there was a strong hint in his words.

After a short pause, he changed the topic:

"If the empress is willing to let go this time, I promise that I will give her one of the nine positions in the coming year, and at the same time, I will not hinder her from looking for [Suzaku]. It’s impossible to tell if it’s fake.”

The great sage has a gentle attitude and a magnetic voice, as if he is talking about a trivial matter:

"Just take this sentence back, I will wait for the good news."

Chapter 15 Game of Thrones

In Beichen Hall, after the great sage's voice fell, he released the invisible force holding Li Shun's hand.

Li Shun lowered his hand silently, and no longer tried to grab the dagger, as if he had given up the reckless act of attacking the great sage.

But he did not open his mouth to respond to the conditions raised by the great sage, and remained silent all the time.

The great sage was not in a hurry at all, and spent all his time playing with a finger wrench made of a high-purity black diamond in his hand, as if he was giving Li Shun a special time to digest.

The two maintained a confrontation like this for a while, until Li Shun seemed to have sorted out his emotions, raised his eyes, and said with a cold expression:

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Ha ha..."

The great sage shook his head slightly, showing an unpredictable smile:

"Little friend, we are now talking about serious business."

Li Shun's pupils shrank, and his mentality was so disturbed by the great sage that it was difficult to stabilize, which was clearly revealed.

The great sage saw all his changes in his eyes, smiled without saying a word, put his hands down, and in the void, a picture-like picture appeared again.

This time the picture scroll is two portraits, the people on the portraits are very familiar to Li Shun, they had met each other not long ago.

One was wearing a top hat in the shadows, with a maniacal smile on his face, holding the detonator with both hands, the Priest of the Fading Light, Alien Star.

The other... Just look at the three courts and five eyes that are handsome and upright, revealing a humble and awe-inspiring aura, and you can know that this is a dragon among men. In addition, the enchanting jade-shaped jade charm between his eyebrows is not the Holy Marshal Dong Pingchuan Who is it again?

Li Shun immediately thought of that round of fiery red stars and that domineering halberd named "Break Fire Dachen".

"Your friend should be familiar with these two."

"Hangguang believers." Li Shun said lightly.

"My little friend's experience in Mingjing, I have read through it. The Chang'an stronghold of the Huanguang Sect was destroyed, and you have a lot to do with it. Afterwards, you have also fought against them in the battle between the sky and the city."

"What does the great sage want to say?"

The great sage's index finger touched the void, and said lightly:

"The Oblivion Sect has always been a place where social scum is gathered and rotten crimes are deposited, and because of its ability to bewitch, it is a great enemy to any orthodox body and system, whether it is the night government, the guild, or the five-party territory. , all expressly prohibit the preaching of the Oblivion Sect."

"Due to various reasons left over from history, Chang'an had to turn a blind eye to these people for a long time. For this reason, I was deeply disturbed and even painful. I thought that this kind of compromise should come to an end. , the time is now."

He stared at Li Shun, with an elusive look floating in his mighty eyes:

"The Oblivion Sect has been rooted in Chang'an for many years, and has accumulated a lot of poison. It is really helpless to scrape the bones to remove the poison. If Chang'an does it on its own, it will inevitably be difficult and inconvenient. I would like to ask my little friend to help with this matter. It's up to you Come to pick up the knife and remove the bones for Changan, in this way, you and I can get the best of both worlds."

Hearing this, Li Shun's eyes flickered.

He already understood the implication of the great sage.

Right now it seems that the great sage asked Li Shun to deal with the affairs of the Vanishing Sect for him. In fact, these words cannot be viewed in isolation. You have to listen to them in conjunction with the previous ones to hear the three flavors.

On the one hand, he promised the female emperor the nine positions, and on the other hand, he threatened the female emperor to interfere in the offshore layout. The technique was exquisite, but the great sage also knew very well that this was far from enough to cause a substantial change in the attitude of the imperial party.

To really change the imperial party's attitude, what is needed is tangible benefits.

The great sage asked Li Shun to clean up Chang'an Mingguang Cult for him, not to let Li Shun do the hard work, but to transfer benefits to the imperial party behind him.

The Oblivion Sect has "deeply accumulated poison" in Chang'an, that is to say, it has accumulated a considerable amount of industrial wealth, and Chang'an has "many constraints and inconvenience" to do it by itself, that is, if this matter is entrusted to you, Cang Xing, you can take all the seized .

Not only that, the clean-up of the Vanishing Light Sect also happened to be in line with Li Shunming's identity as a Buerhu guard on the face, and took care of the Sunshine Hunter Buerhu's face. After all, it was not long ago that Lin Yesha publicly announced his break with the core faction. matter.

All the key lies in the phrase "you and I can get the best of both worlds".

This does not refer to the simple great sages and Li Shun, but Chang'an, the imperial party and even the guild.

For a superior person at the level of a great sage, there are too many resources that can be deployed, any conflict can be resolved, any crisis can be used, and can be dealt with with political means will not easily use violence. As long as there is the power of unity , will do their best to hook up instead of turning faces easily.

Peace is the most important thing, this is the pattern of great sages.

The purpose of peace is to be used by me. This is an advanced way of playing the game of power. Whether it is transferring the Nine Executive seats to introduce foreign forces to the council, or wooing the imperial party that is messing up the situation, it is all for this purpose .

In the process of energy integration and operation, the great sage continued to sort out the lines of power and weave the network of power. Finally, through this process, he realized the status of the ninefold, the only one, and everything in his hands.

That's right, Li Shun has already seen clearly that the Sanyuan faction or the great sage's control over Chang'an is far beyond imagination.

The current "chaos" in Chang'an was actually driven by the great sage. Up to this moment, the dynamics and evolution of the various forces are still under his control.

As early as when the ghost market turmoil ended and Li Shun went back to resume the game, he had already noticed that the Sanyuan faction seemed to be too silent when all the heroes had their own means.

After Lian Linxi's instructions, he quickly came to the conclusion that the layout of the great sage was far earlier, and he was using "Mingkong" to fish.

The unreasonable leakage of Chang'an's ultimate R&D plan of "Tianli General Assembly" happened in the first half of this year. The reason why Chang'an's water is so muddled is because of this incident. Whether it is followed by obscurity or overwhelming the country, there are no exceptions. They all came for the sky.

Various forces in China accepted the invitation to watch the ceremony in Chang'an. This incident seemed to be a decision made by the board of directors after the information leaked and it was hard to get off the tiger. But now it seems that it is more like going with the flow.

The attitude of the Great Sage today further proves this point.

So, what does he want to do?

In fact, the answer is already very clear. Li Shun can feel that when he talks about the topic of "Chang'an people", the sense of superiority and the sense of enveloping the overall situation are revealed in his words. The crisis of mixed dragons and snakes and the imminent war was completely ignored by him.

Only opponents of the same level and chess players of the same level can fall into his eyes.

The great sage single-handedly promoted this ups and downs of chaos, in order to deal with the hidden dangers brought to him by some existences of the same level as him.

For example, Empress.

Between the two, an extremely high-energy game has been launched about three years ago.

Li Zhao has been deployed in Chang'an for many years. This time, he used the offshore counter-rebellion to hide the truth from all aspects of China. He secretly dispatched Li Shun and An Su to make heavy arrangements, hoping to get involved in the situation in Chang'an.

This trick has deceived many people, even Su Xingliu, a guy with rich sources of information and sharp eyesight, was once kept in the dark.

But this failed to hide the great sage.

The great sage spoke very highly of Li Zhao, and he had deep fears. It can be said that he never let down his vigilance against Li Zhao, so that he didn't even need evidence. When will Li Zhao enter the venue?

So he met with Li Shun, wooed the imperial party, put peace as the most important thing, and drove away tigers and wolves.

Another example, fade away.

Li Shun can be sure that the great sage is very aware that Huanguang is in Chang'an at this moment, and even the fact that Huanguang is in Dong Pingchuan's body, the great sage is also an insider.

You must know that the biggest beneficiary of Dong Pingchuan's betrayal and fall is the council. With his original development momentum, he will be eligible to enter the Nine Executives in less than ten or twenty years, when he will compete for the position of the next great sage, and even unify The official cabinet and the council are all expected.

This is something the Great Sage absolutely does not want to see.

From this point of view, Dong Pingchuan's betrayal is most likely not an illogical move made by a moment of brain damage, but a well-designed situation.

The great sage and Ming Guang are likely to be secret collaborators.

However, Huanguang can be a very useful knife, but it is absolutely extremely difficult to control. He does not follow any set of power games at all, so that anyone who cooperates with him will turn his face sooner or later. The Great Sage is no exception.

But Mingguang is also an excellent hunter. He has a strong sense of danger and has many eyes and ears. If there is any trouble in the council, he will be able to detect it immediately.

This can explain why it is inconvenient for the great sage to take action to liquidate Ming Guang himself, but needs to seek assistance from external forces.

After thinking through this section, Li Shun lowered his voice and said lightly:

"I'm just a hunter. I don't understand the words of the great sage."

This is to advance with retreat, and to make further conditions with the great sage.

Sure enough, the great sage knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and said with a smile:

"I said before that Chang'an is the Chang'an of Chang'an people, my little friend, you may have heard about the old story of Wufang guy Guang Mogong?"

The great sage threw out the last important chip.

The so-called "Guangmogong old affairs" refers to the behavior of Wei Qiongqi, who had been sheltered by Chang'an and nearly died in the civil strife, and returned to the position of Wufang Lao.

The great sage emphasized several times that "Chang'an is the Chang'an of the people of Chang'an", which has a strong implication. It not only implies that he can protect Lian Linxi, who has been hunted down by many parties, just like Wei Qiongqi, but also implies that Li Shun should not pay too much attention to the imperial party's subordinates. identity of.

Who is from Chang'an, I have the final say, now you Cangxing is a Chang'an person I recognize, I can give you what the imperial party can give you, and more and better, you can be used by me.

This time Li Shun hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said:

"I understand. I will trouble the great sage to take care of everything. As for the matter of the Vanishing Light Sect, I will deal with it as soon as possible."

"good."

The outline of the great sage gradually began to become blurred, and then continued to disappear:

"It's rare to talk freely, and we've had a good time today, little friend, please take care of yourself."

Seeing the figure of the great sage completely disappear in the empty hall, Li Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and left Beichen hall as well.

The Great Sage is a formidable opponent.

The impenetrable logic, the stance of advancing layer by layer, the method of lifting weights as if they are light, the pattern of turning rain into spring breeze, and of course, there is also unpredictable strength, this is the divine master Qi Taiyi.

A politically strong man who can completely realize the liquidation and integration of Chang'an's first-generation core group, the Sage Organization, and at the same time create a second period of rapid development for Chang'an in less than 20 years.

In just a quarter of an hour or so of conversation, he allowed Li Shun to fully appreciate the powerful energy of the top authority in China.

Only with such an unfathomable existence can he firmly control the celestial wisdom of my little sister in his own hands, and while overwhelming all enemies, he can constantly grind away her original edges and corners, and completely turn her into someone who suits his wishes. tool.

This is an extremely difficult prey, even he can no longer be called a prey, he is simply a monster, a monster that is powerful enough to frighten without any weakness.

Even if there is a sky-high price contract hanging on the guild intranet or dark net, no hunter is willing to take over such a contract.

Because intending to hunt the great sage is actually using his own strength to fight against the huge war machine of Chang'an.

Hunter is a profession that feeds on opportunities, and the ability to discern the situation is a necessary professional quality. Li Shun is very clear that monsters like the great sage have no hunting value at all. He will not give you any opportunities, and a little If you are not careful, you will have to pay a heavy price of life.

However, Li Shun actually saw an opportunity.

This slim chance exists in the game between the great sage and Li Zhao.

The great sage... seems to have failed to defeat Li Zhao's real purpose.

According to what he said, Li Zhao's target is a person/thing/thing called "Suzaku".

This is information that Li Shun has never heard before, but no matter what this [Suzaku] is, he can be sure that the great sage has lost his mind.

From the very beginning, Li Zhao's intention was to completely overthrow the Chang'an table.

The reason is very simple, because the core of Li Zhao's overall plan is to use his younger sister Li Ying to tie Li Shun to death on the chariot that raised the anti-flag to the council, so that Li Shun must step into this conspiracy and control Chang'an. The great sages are immortal.

In this way, even if Li Zhao's goal is really this "Suzaku", it does not prevent her from subverting the Chang'an structure as a means to find Suzaku.

But the great sage didn't know the identities of Li Zhao, Li Shun, and Li Ying. From the beginning to the end, he only regarded Li Shun as a latecomer who was secretly cultivated by the imperial party and infiltrated the guild. true intentions.

He would never have imagined that the person who wanted his life the most in Chang'an was standing within ten steps of him talking to him.

In terms of style and wrist, Li Shun really can't play the great sage, not to mention Li Shun, farther away, there may not be many people in the whole of China who can wrestle with him, but in terms of acting skills, Li Shun will never lose to anyone.

With superb acting skills, he timely displayed various emotions such as shock, recklessness, apprehension, and greed, and accurately disguised his identity as a "member of the imperial party", constantly consolidating and strengthening the impression in the mind of the great sage, that is, "I It's just a pawn."

This is really a very slim chance, not even called a chance, but for Li Shun, he must try to grasp it.

Even if there is only an undetectable opportunity and flaw, Li Shun will definitely bite on it, bloody and bloody.

Because... Li Shun is a hunter, but not just a hunter.

He has already sworn that he will absolutely let the little girl escape from this icy cage, and for this, he will spare no effort.

Liu Hai covered the cold light in his eyes, and Li Shun walked down the stairs with steady steps.

The tree demon Liu Yan waited outside the car, and when he saw Li Shun approaching, he opened the car door for him.

The floating car drove automatically, but Liu Yan didn't ask any questions, and Li Shun also kept silent on his own.

After a long time, at a certain moment, a monotonous and harsh bell sounded suddenly in the car.

The voice came from Liu Yan's pocket.
