Chapter 208 Congratulations From All Sides, Secret Spies
"I knew it earlier. I heard that Sheng Lianhua from Rouge Sea, Xiong Kun from Tian Qinghai, Lang Songbai from Qingjing Sea are all here, and even Huangfuzhen, the head of the family, has come forward."
"Hey, there's such a big movement, what happened to the Sihai Gang?"
"You don't know yet? The leader of Bronze Sea, He Zhen, and his men all died in Yingtai County. The head of the family, Huangfu, was furious about this matter and has ordered a strict investigation. I guess there has been some unrest in the city recently. "
"Who is so bold as to kill the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang?"
"Who knows, but I guess since you dare to attack the Sihai Gang, it obviously proves that the person who did it has a very strong background, and it may be involved in the internal disputes between the three sects, two houses and one villa..."
The man's voice became softer and softer, and the expressions of the onlookers also changed.
Because this is no longer something they can discuss.
Those who are timid quickly check out and leave to avoid implicating themselves again.
As for the person who spoke, he pretended to be calm and sat in a chair for a while, then quietly left.
As soon as he left, Zhao Ya dropped a piece of broken silver and followed him out.
When he came out of the door, Zhao Ya followed the man slowly.
I saw that he was walking relatively slowly at first, but then he walked faster and faster, and in the end he was almost running.
Zhao Ya was not in a hurry either.
No matter how fast this person ran, there was no difference as if he was walking in front of Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya's footsteps seemed to be slow but actually fast, and he kept trailing behind this person. Even the distance between the two did not change at all.
finally.
The man in front collapsed.
He suddenly turned his head and ran into an alley, trying to escape Zhao Ya's pursuit by relying on his familiarity with the terrain.
Anshanfang is located in Nancheng, and the people living here are basically traffickers and lackeys, a mixed bag of people.
The environment here is also very complicated. The alleys are as dense as a spider web. If ordinary people are inexperienced, they will easily get confused.
This man had lived here since he was a child and was very familiar with the terrain, so he was allowed to get rid of Zhao Ya after many twists and turns.
When he saw the person behind him, who had been following him like a ghost since leaving the teahouse, finally disappearing, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then he leaned against the wall and gasped for air.
The rapid running just now consumed his energy greatly.
Especially from morning to now, except for the bowl of tea soup mixed in the tea house, not a grain of rice has touched my lips. Now I have been exercising vigorously, and my eyes can't help but turn black.
But at this moment, a calm voice came from this man's ear.
"Why don't you run away?"
After hearing this, the man felt that the blood all over his body ran cold, and his scalp became numb.
He couldn't care less, and knelt down in front of Zhao Ya with a plop, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice.
"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please spare my life. I was just a little bit mean-spirited and said something I shouldn't have said, which angered you. Please be merciful and spare my life."
Zhao Ya didn't say a word, just looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
This is a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his clothes are shabby, which shows that his condition is not good.
But his eyes were dripping and moving around, obviously he was a man with a sharp mind.
Judging from the fact that he just knew everything about what happened to the Sihai Gang last night and could even guess some of the things behind the scenes, this person should be a street kid who hangs out in this neighborhood.
This kind of person has no other abilities, but is often very well-informed.
And this is what Zhao Ya needs most at this time.
So he didn't continue to scare the man and threw a piece of silver away.
With a click, the silver fell in front of the man.
His eyes straightened instantly, and then he looked up at Zhao Ya.
"You are..."
Zhao Ya smiled slightly and said, "I have a few words to ask you. Don't be nervous. I don't have any malicious intentions, and I'm not from the Sihai Gang or the Three Sects and Two Houses."
The young man finally let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, picked up the silver on the ground, stood up and looked at Zhao Ya warily.
"What do you want to ask?"
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Chen Xiaoer, and people on the street call me Xiaoerzi."
It’s really a standard bit-part name.
Zhao Ya complained in his heart before continuing to ask.
"Just now in the teahouse, I heard what you said seems to know the Sihai Gang very well?"
Chen Xiaoer raised his head proudly, "That's natural, I'm not bragging. In this area of Nancheng, there is no news that I, Chen Xiaoer, don't know."
Zhao Ya nodded, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"What do you want to know?"
"That's what happened to the Sihai Gang last night."
"I heard this from a buddy of mine who works in Sihai Tower. He is a handyman in charge of serving tea and water in Sihai Tower, so he is very aware of the arrival of those big shots."
"Last night, he was waiting in the building. Unexpectedly, Sheng Lianhua, the leader of Yanzhi Hai, and Xiong Kun from Tian Qinghai came. Immediately afterwards, Lang Songbai from Qingjing Hai arrived, and even the head of the family, Huangfu Zhen, who had not been seen for a long time, arrived. Also come forward, these big shots get together to discuss things."
"My buddy was outside the house at the time. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could vaguely hear the roar of the big boss. Later he found out that it was Vice Gang Leader He of Bronze Sea who died."
"Then how do you say this matter is related to the three sects, two courtyards and one villa?" Zhao Ya asked.
At this time, Chen Xiaoer was sure that Zhao Ya had no ill intentions, so he spoke without hesitation.
"The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that the backer of the Four Seas Gang is the Xuanyang Sect, one of the three sects. Without a strong background and backer, who would dare to touch the Four Seas Gang? And in Yandu City, apart from the three sects, two courtyards and one villa, it is estimated that no one can have such strength."
"Couldn't it be done by someone else?" Zhao Ya asked.
Chen Xiaoer smiled, "Who else could it be? Those aristocratic families are all connected with the Four Seas Gang. If there is no conflict of interest, they will never fight among themselves."
Zhao Ya took a deep look at Chen Xiaoer.
If it is about other things, it is not surprising that Chen Xiaoer knows, but he even knows about the collusion between the aristocratic families and the Four Seas Gang. This is not something that a street gangster should know.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm poor now, but I can read. Even the fortune teller Chen the Blind said that I will be successful in the future and will never live on the streets all my life." Chen Xiaoer said proudly.
Zhao Ya smiled. He felt that although this young man was humble at the moment, he was flexible and had some brains. He was indeed not an ordinary gangster.
He threw another piece of silver.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaoer was surprised.
"Take it. The information you provided is very useful to me. This is a reward for you. At the same time, if you have any important information in the future, you can come to me at any time. I have a big reward."
Chen Xiaoer hesitated, but for the sake of the silver in his hand, he finally nodded, "Okay!"
Zhao Ya then said an address.
He did not say the address of Shang Luoluo's house. After all, it is better to cut off ties with them in such matters.
He gave the address of an inn in Anshanfang, and then agreed with Chen Xiaoer how to meet and how to contact him if he was not there.
After finalizing the details, Zhao Ya said to Chen Xiaoer.
"Since you can read, you should know the importance of it. If our meeting and the agreement are leaked, I don't care, but your life may be in danger. Do you understand?"
Chen Xiaoer smiled casually, "Don't worry, since I promised you, I have already thought about the consequences."
Zhao Ya nodded.
Talking to smart people has this advantage, no need to waste time, just one click to understand.
I believe that since Chen Xiaoer understands the interests involved, he doesn't need to worry about it when doing things.
Zhao Ya jumped up and disappeared from Chen Xiaoer's sight in the blink of an eye.
Although he was prepared, Chen Xiaoer was still shocked, and then looked at the direction where Zhao Ya left with envy.
He dared to accept Zhao Ya's promise because he realized that this young man, who was not much older than himself, had extremely high martial arts skills.
But he did not expect that his martial arts skills were so high that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But the more this happened, the more certain he became.
This should be the noble man that Blind Chen mentioned.
Thinking in his heart, Chen Xiaoer looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then left quickly.
Zhao Ya opened a room in the inn that he had agreed with Chen Xiaoer, and returned to Guangdefang after arranging it.
At the same time, Yan Peng rode a horse and followed the carriage out of Jingyao Gate in the north of the city, and then went to Longshou Mountain.
Xijian Villa is located on Longshou Mountain, about 20 miles away from Yandu City, and it will arrive in an instant.
When you get to the top of the mountain, you will see a towering villa standing on the top of the mountain. This is Xijian Villa, which is famous throughout the capital.
At this moment, there were still many people gathered in front of the villa, most of them were from the Great Yan royal family.
Although it had been a day since Yan Xizhao had come out of retreat to attain the fifth realm, these people still couldn't hide their excitement, and were gathering in groups of three or five to talk loudly.
When Yan Peng's carriage arrived at the villa gate, these people made way.
"It's the prince Yan Peng from the Qi Palace."
"Who's in the carriage?"
"I don't know!"
At this time, Yan Peng got off his horse, clasped his fists to these relatives who were near or far, and then came to the door.
The guard at the door naturally recognized him, and after whispering a few words, the guard at the door slowly opened the gate of the villa.
Then Yan Peng and his party passed through the gate of Xijian Villa in the envious eyes of everyone, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
After entering Xijian Villa, Yan Peng asked, "Where is Senior Sister Yan now?"
"Senior Sister is meeting several important guests in the reception room."
"Important guests?"
Yan Peng pondered for a moment, then asked someone to watch the carriage and went to the reception room.
At this moment, in the reception room of Xijian Villa, Yan Xizhao sat in the middle, and there were two men and one woman sitting in front of her.
The leader was a simple and honest man, who sighed, "Junior Sister Yan can prove the fifth realm with the broken mirror at the age of 23, which is really admirable."
"Senior Brother Wang is polite. I remember that you were promoted to the fifth realm before the age of 25." Yan Xizhao said slowly in a soft voice.
At this moment, she is three points more beautiful than when she was in the underground cave of Yunxiao County.
The key is that the domineering momentum has disappeared, just like a sharp sword put on the scabbard, at first glance, she looks like an ordinary person.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that when Yan Xizhao looks around, his eyes always flash with a sword-like light, which makes people dare not look directly at him.
Gu Chaoyue felt sour in her heart when she saw this.
Why was this Yan Xizhao able to successfully break through at such a young age?
The key is that he has a good background and is beautiful. He is simply a winner in life.
Looking back on myself, it doesn't matter what I want, even though I have been promoted to the fifth realm through talent and hard work.
But she understands that her talent has been exhausted, and if she wants to further successfully open her pulse, it will be almost impossible unless she has massive training resources.
That's why she has been frantically accumulating resources over the years, just thinking that she can work hard again before she is forty years old.
This was the reason why he went to Yunxiao County before, but he returned without success. Not long after he returned to the capital, he heard about Yan Xizhao's breakthrough, which made Gu Chaoyue feel extremely depressed.
If she hadn't come with Wang Tiancheng and Xu Nianran this time, she would never have come on her own.
Just as she was feeling sorry for herself, Xu Nianran on the side also shook her folding fan and smiled.
"Miss Xizhao, you don't have to be polite. Your promotion is a major event in the martial arts community in our capital. After all, you are the first person in more than ten years to be able to achieve a breakthrough through breaking the mirror."
Yan Xizhao was neither sad nor happy, he just smiled and shook his head.
"It's just luck. I didn't expect that the blood bat beads fit so well with the skills I practiced, so I could achieve a breakthrough in such a short period of time."
Looking at the dazzling Yan Xizhao, Wang Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh.
In the past two years, there have been more and more young geniuses.
First, he met a genius in Yunxiao County who had attained the Half-Step Five Realms under the age of 20 and had become a master of swordsmanship. Now he witnessed the breakthrough of this daughter of the Dayan royal family.
Wang Tiancheng also felt a lot of pressure.
If you don't work hard at this, you will probably be surpassed by newcomers.
Just as he was sighing, Yan Xizhao suddenly raised his head and looked outside the door.
"Junior Brother Yanpeng, what's the matter?"
Yan Peng was shocked.
He just appeared in front of the door and saw his senior sister talking inside, so he planned to wait at the door, but he didn't expect Yan Xizhao to notice it immediately.
He walked into the house with his head lowered, not daring to look around.
Because he knew very well that those who came to congratulate Senior Sister must be the best of each sect, and they were probably all experts in the fifth realm, and his strength in the fourth realm was not comparable to that at all.
He said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, it's a small matter. My sister Yan Fei is poisoned by a strange poison. I can't do anything about it, so I want to bring her back for you to take a look at."
Poisoned by strange poison?
Now several people in the room were shocked.
It is not that there are people who study poisonous ways in the world, but these people are either some extremely powerful senior masters, or demons from the Demon Cult who take the wrong path.
But how could such a person poison a daughter of the Yan royal family?
Yan Xizhao also frowned.
"I'll go over and take a look."
