Chapter 206: Heaven Monitoring Division, General Division! (8000)
Do you want to make a deal?
This sentence is like a dream in the dark night, constantly appearing in Yingyue's mind.
"What kind of deal do you want to make?" Yingyue's eyes rolled, and her cunningness did not decrease at all, but her smile was a little forced.
It was indeed forced enough. She didn't know why, when this man said this, she always felt like she was being dragged on board.
"Of course it's a deal, that's business, buying and selling, it's about both your consent." Xu Bai smiled and said: "If you agree, we are business partners. If you don't agree, I can only beat you to death reluctantly."
Yingyue took a step back quickly, with a vigilant look in her big eyes.
Can this be called business, can it be called about both your consent?
If you can do it, it's good. If you can't do it, you will be beaten to death. What kind of business is this?
Although she was complaining wildly in her heart, Yingyue still heard the meaning.
- There is room for negotiation!
That's right, there is room for negotiation.
Yingyue thought this man was outrageous, but at least they could talk it out. If they could talk, everything would be fine.
"You want information about Grade A, but there is actually a very good way."
She originally planned to hold on for a while. After all, this was their first meeting and they were doing business directly, so she had to show some attitude.
But looking at Xu Bai's intention, it would be better to be simple and direct, otherwise she might be the next one.
Xu Bai still had that smile on his face, and he looked quite kind, which made people forget his previous murderous intent: "What method?"
Yingyue stopped talking and bit her lips tightly. Because she was short, she looked up and stared at Xu Bai. The goose yellow dress made her fair face even more rosy.
"I understand what you mean. Cooperation is about mutual benefit. You can tell me what I can do for you?" Xu Bai said clearly.
As long as we can get information about Grade A and find that mountain, everything will be worth it.
As for this woman...
She is pretty. When she is beaten, she will definitely cry loudly.
"Join the studio, we can help you get the first-class information in the dark building." Yingyue said directly.
Studio?
Another extremely unfamiliar word, Xu Bai looked at Yingyue back and forth for several times, and then said it in a flat tone.
"What is a studio?"
"A studio is not a thing." Yingyue answered subconsciously, but it felt wrong.
The studio is indeed not a thing, but it is also a thing. Whether it is or not, it is not a good name.
Why is this person like this, he just swears when he opens his mouth!
"No! How could he not know about the studio?"
Yingyue seemed to have thought of something, and covered her mouth with her hand wearing a silver bracelet, with a look of surprise, and her black and white eyes were wide open, as if she had seen the most bizarre thing in the world.
"You don't know about Yinglou? Are you still a novice?"
It's impossible...
Yingyue was originally here to monitor this branch. At that time, she saw that everyone in this branch chased out, but she was not strong, just had some special spiritual abilities, so she couldn't catch up.
Later, she saw this group of people coming back, but she keenly felt that the leader had changed.
This is the secret method of her profession. Her profession is called Dream Master. Her spiritual methods are unfathomable, so she can detect some abnormalities.
So, this person is powerful, how could he not know Yinglou?
You know, as long as you are rolling in the world, whether it is the Great Yue Kingdom or the Great Chu Kingdom, those who have reached this level of strength should know that secret.
Yingyue looked at Xu Bai with suspicion, and that expression seemed as if Xu Bai was lying to her.
Xu Bai coughed to cover up his embarrassment of lack of knowledge, and said: "You don't need to know this, what exactly is a photo studio?"
Alas, it seems that I should learn more about the knowledge of various trades in the future, otherwise I will always make myself useless except for fighting.
The dignified Prince Xu, who is domineering in the Great Chu State, is actually a newbie?
If this is told to others, I am afraid that many people will laugh at it.
Yingyue heard this and looked at Xu Bai carefully with her big eyes, but did not find any flaws.
Although I don't know why this person is like a pink newbie, but now it is a cooperation, so naturally everything is said.
"A long time ago, the Dark Tower was not called the Dark Tower, but the Shadow Tower, which was divided into the Dark Tower and the Shadow Tower."
"The Dark Tower was responsible for monitoring the officials and solving the dirty things in the dark for the emperor, while the Shadow Tower was responsible for monitoring the world."
"The two each performed their duties and went their own way. Originally, no one owed anyone anything, and they kept to themselves."
"But due to an accident, the Shadow Tower made a mistake and was tricked by the chief of the Tianshi Division."
"It was at that time that the Dark Tower seized the opportunity and separated the Shadow Tower, completely turning the Shadow Tower into the world of the Dark Tower."
"After that, some people from the photo studio didn't want to stay, so they came out alone and tried to take revenge."
At this point, Yingyue stopped talking.
The follow-up was clear. Xu Bai was such a smart person that he understood everything after connecting the clues together.
The Yingyue in front of him was obviously the person from the photo studio that had separated at the beginning. He was probably lurking in the dark, and as long as there was a chance, he would completely subvert the dark building.
However, Xu Bai's thoughts were not here, but he heard a new term.
——General Secretary.
This is a well-known figure in the Jiantian Division. He has been living in the Zhaixing Tower in the capital. Xu Bai had never seen him when he entered the capital.
However, he once heard Eunuch Wei say it when he was drinking with him.
This is a fortune master who has entered the saint realm.
It is said that he has reached the ninth level of the saint realm, but has been stuck at this position and has no chance to become a saint.
In this world, there is no one who has become a saint, and as for the reason, no one knows.
Anyway, it is just a step away from being able to completely enter the saint realm.
The General is in charge of the Heavenly Supervisory Department, and even Eunuch Wei can't beat him.
But because of his special profession, the Fortune Master, the King of Chu is very relieved.
This profession has a characteristic, which is that it needs to be tied to the country.
The stronger the country, the stronger the Fortune Master.
So the General thinks that he has not been able to become a saint because there is no unification.
What Xu Bai didn't expect was that the General was so amazing that he directly split up the Shadow Building and turned it into the current state of disintegration.
"Good guy, it's a good thing that this woman doesn't know my true identity, otherwise I'm afraid that the people in the Shadow Building will come to kill me." Xu Bai thought.
His identity, the most important one, is the identity of Prince Xu.
At the beginning, when the King of Chu made him king, in addition to the tacit approval of Prime Minister Wen, there was another person who silently helped him.
—— General.
These things were also known when he was drinking with Eunuch Wei. At that time, Xu Bai wanted to visit the General, but failed.
So he and Zongsi are connected. If the people in the photo studio know about it, the revengers will probably come in waves.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai has begun to think about killing this woman.
Seeing that Xu Bai has been silent, Yingyue thought that Xu Bai was shocked by what she said, so it was normal.
But now it is getting late, and Yingyue doesn't want to stay here any longer, so she directly points out the topic.
"If you want to see the information of the first-class, in addition to the three ways that the man started, there is a fourth way."
"You only need to catch someone in the photo studio, and then you can directly upgrade to a higher level."
Xu Bai pondered and said, "So simple?"
He didn't expect it to be such a simple method, but although it was simple, he heard some details in it.
Catch the photo studio, and you can be promoted.
Judging from the rhythm, the photo studio does not seem to be recognized by the emperor of Dai Viet, otherwise how can there be such a good reward?
Thinking of this, his eyes became more and more suspicious.
Yingyue said without disguising: "I know what you are thinking, and you are right. We are like rats crossing the street now."
"At that time, we did not use poison to control others, so we could easily stand out and have been hiding with special methods."
"But you have to believe us, as long as we knock down the dark building, the shadow building will naturally become the shadow building it once was."
"Because by then, when His Majesty has no one to use, he can only use us."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
In fact, he doesn't care about these things, what dark building or shadow building, he doesn't care at all, he just wants information.
"In that case, what do you need me to do?" Xu Bai asked.
Now that everything is clear, we can go back to the original point and return to the essence of this matter.
Business is a matter of giving and taking. Since Yingyue can help herself, she also needs to pay something.
Yingyue said without disguising: "I need you to use this identity to successfully obtain the right to Class A information and check something for us."
"Check what?" Xu Bai continued to ask.
Yingyue shook her head and said, "You don't need to know these things. You will understand them when the time comes."
"Just checking things?"
"That's all."
"Okay!" Xu Bai agreed very happily.
But he still had a doubt in his heart.
"You can arrange someone, why come to me?"
In this case, it is probably most appropriate to infiltrate the enemy and arrange their own people. Why come to an outsider?
"Do you think it's easy to get into the dark building?" Yingyue stared at Xu Bai with big eyes.
"If you want to get in, you must go through layers of screening, which is harder than climbing to the sky.
"But you are different. You have such a brilliant disguise method. I'm afraid no one can recognize you. Now that you have an identity, it saves a lot of trouble. "
"When you have completed this task and are about to be promoted, only a person one level higher than you will come down. As long as he is not as good at the soul as me, he will not be able to detect your abnormality."
"Before that, we will collect various matters related to your current identity. As long as you remember and can imitate it exactly, it will be safe."
Xu Bai thought about it and said, "What if someone with special skills in the soul is sent at that time?"
"I will come." Yingyue said, "If I am here, I can help you escape the soul detection."
Xu Bai nodded. He had nothing to ask.
With a simpler method, he had no objection.
"We will come to help you in ten days, because I have to go back to report this matter."
"Before that, these people cannot die. If they have to die, they will die in ten days."
These people refer to the members of the Dark Tower controlled by Xu Bai.
"We will send a death soldier at that time. As long as you catch him, you will have no problem." Yingyue added.
After saying this, she asked Xu Bai if he had any other questions. After learning that Xu Bai had no questions, she left.
Xu Bai watched Yingyue disappear into the shadows, thinking about what happened today, and couldn't help but smile.
No matter what, take one step at a time, get the news, go to that mountain, find the progress bar and secrets inside, this is the real business.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai turned his head, looked at the four dazed people, took out the book in his arms, and continued to work hard.
…
When Xu Bai made progress, something was happening in the capital of Da Chu, which was extremely far away from Da Yue.
Zhaixing Tower.
This building is divided into nine floors, and there are countless masters on each floor. On the ninth floor, for the entire Jiantian Division, it is forbidden to enter unless there is something important to report.
At this moment, outside the ninth floor, a pile of soldiers in armor are guarding, cooperating with the masters in the dark, and surrounding this place tightly.
In the elegant room, there were only simple furniture. A white-haired old man and a middle-aged man were sitting opposite each other, with a chessboard between them.
The two were playing chess, but it was obvious that the middle-aged man was at a disadvantage.
"Well, I made a wrong move this time, let's start over." The King of Chu naturally took away a chess piece and put it in another place.
The white-haired old man sitting opposite had a kind face, but his eyes were extremely deep, just like the night. If you look closely, you will collapse and feel miserable.
"As a king, you should keep your word. As a good chess player, you should never regret your move. Your Majesty cannot do that." The white-haired old man, dressed in white, gently pressed the hand of the King of Chu.
The King of Chu shook the white-haired old man's hand away and said, "I am a king, not a chess player."
After that, he moved to another position.
The white-haired old man ignored him, as if he didn't want to argue anymore, but he didn't continue playing chess, but suddenly said something.
"Your Majesty, you acted very well this morning. Your rage was just like the real thing."
"Acting?" The King of Chu was a little disappointed when he heard this: "I really acted it out. Now I need General Manager Mu to give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will chop off your head."
The white-haired old man still looked kind and friendly, which was difficult to combine with the dreaded identity of General Manager.
In the entire Jianghu, and even in the officialdom of the entire Great Chu State, people would tremble when they heard the word General Manager.
Although the Jiantian Division only deals with the affairs of the Jianghu, once the affairs of the Jianghu involve the officialdom, the Jiantian Division will be the main one.
Not long after the founding of the Great Chu State, an official colluded with people in the Jianghu and was corrupt.
Moreover, this official was a senior official in the capital, and he had worked with the King of Chu to overcome difficulties.
At that time, when the people of the Jiantian Division were patrolling, they were kicked out by this official, and everyone thought that the matter would be left unresolved.
But what people didn't expect was that the white-haired General Mu personally took action and stepped into the official's house.
Not long after, he came out with a head, and the emperor even acquiesced to this matter.
Since then, people have been more wary of General Mu.
After the King of Chu said this, he put down his hand and waited for General Mu's answer.
Although General Mu was old, his eyes were like the night, deep and wise.
"Your Majesty loves talents, I know this, but no one can do this except Prince Xu?"
"Yingyue has established a relationship with Prince Xu. The Class A information is extremely secretive. Even I cannot penetrate it, but Prince Xu can."
"The Thousand-Faced Female Thief can change the appearance of others, but no one is more suitable than Lord Xu, because his fate is that of a person without fate."
"Only such a rare person in the ages can cause a real fire in the rear of the Great Yue Kingdom."
The King of Chu did not speak, staring at General Mu calmly.
General Mu knew what the Emperor Chu meant and continued, "If the Dark Tower and the Shadow Tower are all destroyed, then the rear defense of the Great Viet will be truly out of control. When we deal with the barbarians, the Great Viet will definitely not take action because they are already in trouble."
"After solving the barbarians, the Great Viet will be trapped in a trap. By then, the world will be truly unified."
When the Emperor Chu heard this, he reached out and messed up the chessboard in front of him: "No more."
He seemed a little annoyed.
"Is it important to leave the holy realm?"
"Very important." General Mu replied: "What is your majesty's dream in this life?"
"My dream?" The King of Chu pondered for a moment: "To flatten the entire world, including Guishi, and restore a clear and bright world, so that the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will no longer suffer from the baptism of war."
"If we don't kill the barbarians and the Great Yue Kingdom, and don't kill Guishi, my people will always have swords hanging over their heads. How can we have peace and prosperity?"
General Mu smiled, and smiled calmly. His eyes were still as deep as the night, but gradually became brighter: "My dream is your majesty's dream. The stronger the Great Chu Kingdom is, the more opportunities I have to take the last step. After taking the last step, I can..."
General Mu didn't say anything else about the rest of the words, and closed his mouth, as if he had never said it.
"You are hiding something from me, but you have been unwilling to say it. It seems that you want to say it today." The King of Chu said slowly.
General Mu pondered and said, "I have reached the pinnacle of sainthood. I have broken through that layer of shackles, but I have not broken through it. Instead, I have seen something."
"I have seen the past, the exhaustion of resources, and even more, people in the industry have died of exhaustion."
Emperor Chu frowned.
He also knew that the era of resource exhaustion was an extremely dark era.
General Mu stood up: "Your Majesty, as long as Gui City is unified, can resources really be circulated?"
Emperor Chu shook his head: "I don't know, but everyone says so."
He didn't understand why General Mu brought up these things now, but he knew there must be something wrong.
General Mu picked up the tea next to him, poured it on the table, dipped his fingers on the table, kept writing and drawing, and began to tell the story while writing.
"Wei Chen doesn't know whether those conclusions are correct or whether they can really achieve a true cycle, but I want to give it a try. If I can really become a saint, maybe even if the resources are exhausted, I can still save the Great Chu Kingdom."
The King of Chu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he was tired of hearing these words.
General Mu didn't say anything else, and restored the chess pieces that the King of Chu had just dropped one by one.
Soon they were restored to their original positions. Every time he restored one, the King of Chu's eyelids twitched.
"I don't want to play anymore."
"Your Majesty is going to lose."
"Nonsense, I don't want to play anymore."
"Your Majesty admits defeat."
"Come on, old man, keep going!"
The King of Chu rolled up his sleeves without grace, but he didn't continue as he said, but changed the subject.
"Why didn't you tell Yingyue that he met Xu Bai?"
General Mu shook his head and said, "This girl admires Xu Bai, so he can't be told."
Emperor Chu asked, "Since she admires her, then telling her will make her more dedicated."
"Your Majesty." General Mu raised his head, his eyes deep, "The most unpredictable thing in this world is emotion. Yingyue will die."
"If she knew Xu Bai, it would not reduce her determination to die, but I am not sure that Xu Bai would stop her."
Emperor Chu said slowly, "According to my understanding, Xu Bai is not that kind of person. He understands the general situation very well."
General Mu raised his left hand, opened his five fingers, and hooked them one by one.
He read out a name every time he hooked one.
"Chu Yu, Ye Zi, Liu Xu, Qing Xue... How many more do you not know? Your Majesty, excellent men are extremely attractive to the opposite sex. He is young and can't control himself."
"I don't know the specific extent of his relationship with these women, but we must minimize failure."
"Old fox." Emperor Chu sighed: "You are really cruel, Ying Yue's surname is Mu."
General Mu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to continue speaking, but before he could say anything, he heard a shout.
"Old man, you are so fucking cruel!"
A figure flashed by, grabbed General Mu's collar, and pushed him directly against the wall.
"You let your daughter go to die, which is fine for our family. After all, she is your daughter, but you have to explain to our family about your plot against Prince Xu this time?"
General Mu is old and gray-haired, but at this moment, he is held in the hands of Eunuch Wei, looking very helpless.
"Eunuch Wei, there are rumors in the martial arts world that Xu Bai is your illegitimate son. Is it true?"
"Get lost!" A gray thread appeared behind Eunuch Wei.
"Stop!" General Mu said quickly: "Xu Bai is a man without a life, and I have many plans this time, which will absolutely ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Eunuch Wei let go of his hand, turned around, saluted to the King of Chu, and left directly.
Before leaving, he left a message.
"If Prince Xu makes a mistake, I know that I am not your opponent, but I will fight you even if I risk my life."
After that, Eunuch Wei disappeared quickly.
When Eunuch Wei left, the two people present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why don't you fight back?" Emperor Chu teased.
"Old Wei is a little too rude." General Mu lowered his head and tidied up the wrinkles on his body: "If it weren't for the injuries on his body, they were caused by me. I must make him look bad today."
"Alright." Emperor Chu waved his hand: "I always say this, and I never fight back. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, Emperor Chu didn't stay for long, and turned around and left.
When Emperor Chu left, the place fell into silence again.
General Mu came to the window of the ninth floor, looked at the dark night outside through the window, and sighed faintly.
His eyes, as deep as the night, actually concealed a trace of fear.
One thought after another flashed through his mind.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it."
"I broke through the shackles at that time and saw something extremely terrifying."
"It's a thousand times and ten thousand times more terrifying than the Ghost City. It's a scorched earth, all of which are the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth, and there are countless terrifying phantoms."
"Perhaps, only a saint can compete with it."
General Mu sighed, turned back to his seat, and closed his eyes.
...
Xu Bai certainly didn't know what happened here, because he had been working on the progress bar all this time.
In addition, he used his soul to control the other four people in this branch and let them move in the same way as before.
Of course, even if these four people left, someone would come to this place from time to time, such as now.
The girl in a goose yellow dress was staring at Xu Bai with her eyes wide open, motionlessly, and from time to time she took out one or two snacks from her pocket and stuffed them into her mouth.
Xu Bai was stared at by such unscrupulous eyes, and was somewhat speechless: "Don't you have anything serious to do?"
Since Yingyue came to him a few days ago and said that the studio had agreed, she has not left since then, under the pretext of cooperating with Xu Bai when the time comes.
But during this period of time, this guy actually started to eat here for free.
Not only for free meals, but also for the various snacks he usually eats, which are bought by Xu Bai's four people.
The most outrageous thing is that he not only eats, but also hides them secretly.
Is this what the studio should do?
If everyone is like her, it would have been gone long ago, right?
Xu Bai now even doubts his original decision, and should not have teamed up with this woman.
Yingyue's cheeks moved, and she said vague words: "I want to cooperate with you, do you think I want to be here?"
She said she didn't want to, but her body was very honest, and she grabbed another handful of snacks and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Have you never eaten in your life?" Xu Bai asked.
Yingyue raised her head and thought carefully: "I ate, but the studio has no support from the emperor. I have to find ways to pay for all the expenses. It's so hard to make money these days."
Xu Bai held Yingyue's head and turned it slightly.
Under Xu Bai's strength, Yingyue turned around automatically and sat with her back to him.
"You turned around to eat, you disturbed me."
"Oh." Yingyue was not angry at all. She turned her back to Xu Bai, leaving Xu Bai with a beautiful back view, and continued to eat.
Xu Bai stared at the progress bar in his hand. At this time, the progress bar was getting closer and closer to full. He estimated that he could finish it today.
This book was obtained from the trevally in the ruins. Although Xu Bai could not understand the words on it, he became more and more curious.
Only things like this that you can't understand can arouse curiosity.
Xu Bai continued to watch, regardless of Yingyue.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the progress bar became more and more full, but at this moment, Xu Bai keenly felt that the clicking sound had stopped.
A small head stretched out and stopped in front of Xu Bai.
"What do you want to do again?" Xu Bai's forehead was throbbing with blue veins, and he wanted to twist the head off.
Too annoying, too annoying, I have been in the world for so long, but I have never met such an annoying woman, so annoying!
"Qin Feng, I want to ask, have you heard of Xu Bai?" Yingyue had a blank expression on the surface, but there was a hint of curiosity in the depths of her eyes.
Qin Feng was a pseudonym used by Xu Bai. As for where he got it from, it was naturally the fisherman of the Guyue Sword Sect.
Anyway, this name is ordinary, and there is no big problem.
But after hearing Yingyue's question, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Xu Bai?
How come this name is exactly the same as his own?
"Are you talking about that Xu Wang?" Xu Bai felt that he had to confirm it first.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yingyue nodded quickly: "Tell me about it."
Xu Bai glanced at Yingyue and said, "Why do you want news about him?"
He was a little confused. Why did this woman ask about him? Could it be that Yinglou had plans against him?
It was very possible. After all, his current identity was the prince of the Great Chu Kingdom, and his previous actions made the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians hate him to the core.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just more interested. After all, we are all young people." Yingyue said casually.
That expression seemed to be true.
Xu Bai thought for a while and said, "I have heard from people in the world that this person really rose from obscurity."
Yingyue tried to keep a calm attitude, but her eyes couldn't help but move to Xu Bai: "Then do you know what he looks like? Yinglou no longer has the intelligence capabilities it used to have, so we can only hear a general idea."
Xu Bai did not continue to answer, but just stretched out his hand to Yingyue.
"What do you mean?" Yingyue's big eyes were full of confusion.
"Trade, I'm a businessman. If you want to know what he looks like, then trade." Xu Bai's face was full of certainty.
Yingyue was slightly stunned, and finally gritted her teeth and turned her head away.
This man is really hateful. Everything is a trade. Now it's just like chatting, so it's also a trade.
I won't give it to you.
I will definitely not give it to you!
After a while, Yingyue saw Xu Bai continuing to read the book, as if he would not give it to her.
There was no way, Yingyue gritted her teeth, took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom, and threw it into Xu Bai's hand.
"Dream Talisman, a disposable item in our business, can create a huge dream, so that others can't get out of the dream, and the highest control is half a step into the mortal."
Xu Bai took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and felt that it was better than nothing, but he still put it away.
Yingyue looked over again.
Facing Yingyue's gaze, Xu Bai shamelessly spoke slowly...
"Xu Bai, that is an extremely handsome young man..."
