"Are there no people from the Shenwei Division near Linzhou?"
Walking on the street in the city, Lu Li looked at Ge Xinyue beside him and said, "It would be easier for us to gather information if we could contact people from Tianbu."
Ge Xinyue thought for a moment, and then said: "The whereabouts of the people of the Tianbu are secretive. No one can contact them except His Highness King Yan. However, if you want to find out information, you can try to find the Fenglei Second Department."
"The Second Division of Wind and Thunder."
Lu Li nodded.
It was a coincidence that he had already met people from the four divisions of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder of the Divine Power Division. Logically speaking, the Sky Department is the intelligence department and the Earth Department is the assassination department. These two departments are extremely rare to see. It can be seen that after passing these two parts, the most common part two, Wind and Thunder, has never been able to find a chance to deal with it.
From this point of view, this time is a good opportunity to meet the Wind and Thunder Division II, which is truly out in the field and has the real power of apprehension and trial.
"Looking at your expression, I know you didn't mean anything good."
Mu Ningqiu on the other side sneered: "Are you planning on how to have a good relationship with Fenglei Erbu?"
"I advise you not to think too much. No matter how strong the Fenglei Division is, it is impossible to have enough manpower in every city. There are dozens of cities in Linzhou alone. The Fenglei Division can at most assist officials in the main city to do some things. It’s just a trivial matter. The kind of rights you think of, let alone the Second Department of Wind and Thunder, don’t have them. Even if they do, do you think a place like this that has the power of arrest and trial will open any convenient door for you?”
After Mu Ningqiu finished speaking, she saw Lu Li's face was deep in thought, as if he was a little distracted, and she suddenly became angry: "Did you listen to me?"
"Huh? What did you just say?"
Lu Li came to his senses, but Mu Ningqiu was even more speechless.
Seeing the angry look on her face, Lu Li felt a little innocent. He really didn't mean not to listen to her, but he just thought of something and was distracted for a moment.
Fortunately, Ge Xinyue was considerate and stood between the two of them. At the same time, she turned to look at Lu Li: "Did you think of something?"
Lu Li nodded: "I was thinking that since the Fenglei Division is in charge of arrests and trials, it means that it also has certain influence and intelligence capabilities in various places. At least, the officials stationed in various cities in the Holy Kingdom, and even the government Your Majesty, we should also exchange information with the Fengling and Lei Departments."
"But the appearance of the Divine Sect is too strange, and not even the slightest news has been spread. I am thinking that the probability of problems in Fenglei Division 2 is not high, which can only mean that the power of the Divine Sect may have penetrated into the Holy Spirit. Among the state officials."
"With the large number of officials in the Holy Kingdom, there will always be a few scum. This is not an uncommon thing."
"Even Kamui Division may not be clean from top to bottom."
Ge Xinyue said: "If the divine religion has really penetrated into the officials, there is no way that the Fenglei Division will not notice it at all."
"So, even Fenglei Division II can't believe it." Lu Li muttered.
Mu Ningqiu felt that they were a bit alarmist, "Shenwei Division is loyal to my aunt and loyal to the Holy Country. If they really discover an organization that harms the Holy Country, they cannot hide it and not report it."
"Even if there is something dirty in daily life, they will not choose to betray in the face of such a big event."
Regarding Mu Ningqiu's thoughts, Ge Xinyue just shook her head without any excuse.
Lu Li glanced at Ge Xinyue and felt that she had something to hide.
Lu Li already felt that something was wrong when he escorted Mu Hongxiu back to Yanzhou but did not use the power of Shenwei Division this time.
As the most critical trump card in her hand, at such a critical moment, Mu Hongxiu had no reason to hide it.
There was only one possibility that allowed her to give up the help of Shenwei Division.
Someone within the Shenwei Division has rebelled.
Lu Li thought of this and suddenly said: "If you want to collect intelligence, you don't necessarily have to find an official organization."
"There is no Wanshitang here." Of course Ge Xinyue knew what Lu Li was planning.
Those organizations in the market can sometimes work wonders.
This has been proven by the cooperation between Lu Li and Wanshitang. And exploring the strengths of those 'minor characters' is exactly what Lu Li is good at.
However, this time when we arrived in Linzhou, there was no Wanshitang to help us.
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Wherever there are people, there is a 'Wanshitang'. Even if the name is different, the existence of this kind of organization is indispensable."
Lu Li smiled but didn't say anything clearly.
Ge Xinyue and Mu Ningqiu looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Li was playing.
Not long after, Lu Li took them to a restaurant, found a seat, randomly arranged a table of food and drinks, and then motioned for them to be calm.
A table of wine and food was quickly served.
Lu Li didn't move his chopsticks and just sat there listening to the conversations of the guests around him.
Ge Xinyue and Mu Ningqiu also discovered this and probably knew what he was thinking. Mu Ningqiu frowned and said, "Do you want to rely on the rumors in teahouses and restaurants to find out the news?"
"Don't underestimate these rumors. Among a hundred rumors, there will always be a few useful messages. For us, this is the safest and most secure channel for information."
Lu Li said and looked at the two women, "Don't just sit there with a straight face. It means there's something wrong with you. Just talk about something, eat something, and treat it as a rest."
Ge Xinyue's ability to adapt is relatively strong. After all, she was once a banned assassin and had carried out too many assassination missions. She knew how to integrate into the environment, so she poured herself a glass of wine and sat there sipping it slowly.
But Mu Ningqiu rarely had this kind of experience. After listening to Lu Li's words, she said unnaturally: "I... I rarely come to this kind of place."
"So, Her Royal Highness the Princess still lacks experience."
Lu Li said: "As a royal family, it is important to leave the palace frequently to understand the sentiments of the people."
"You are the only one who talks a lot."
Mu Ningqiu glared at him.
Lu Li didn't bother to quarrel with her and continued to listen to the conversations of the guests around him. His mind spread out and he carefully analyzed useful information.
Finally, in the private room of the restaurant, Lu Li heard a very interesting conversation.
"The He family has been so arrogant recently, forcing other families to join some divine religion, and even recruited a group of casual cultivators and desperadoes. Even the Slaughter Sect was subdued by them."
In the private room, a somewhat angry voice sounded.
Although the restaurant was noisy, the three of them released their spiritual thoughts and heard these words immediately.
The speaker obviously didn't expect that two Immortal Realms and a Mingyou Grandmaster would have such leisure to go to a restaurant and eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
So the man continued: "Tell me, what is the origin of this divine religion? He Shouzhong of the He family... Grandmaster He is like crazy. Not only does he preach the doctrine of the coming of gods everywhere, he even dares to blatantly talk about swallowing the sky. Is the Holy Kingdom about to be destroyed?”
"You don't know yet? The divine religion first emerged on the border and secretly expanded its power. It was not until the Demon Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom declared war that they surfaced. They have already become a force that cannot be ignored." Someone sighed: " Now the Holy Kingdom must be wary of the threat from the Demonic Kingdom. Naturally, there is no way to deal with this divine sect. The divine sect has gathered a large number of wealthy families and casual cultivators, and its confidence is no longer what it used to be."
"Then... the Holy Kingdom doesn't care, so shouldn't Shenwei Division care?" The person who initially criticized the He family for being domineering hesitated.
Another person said: "What about the Divine Power Division? Haven't you heard? His Royal Highness King Yan's martial arts has been abolished, and the Divine Power Division is in chaos. What's more, the Divine Religion can even control the wealthy families, who can guarantee that Don’t the Shenwei Division have any of their people?”
"According to what you say, isn't it true that the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven is about to end? This... How can we just sit back and watch?"
The man's voice was already trembling.
"Hey, when the country is about to perish, monsters will appear. This divine religion is just a monster. With a small family like ours and a small industry, even the He family can't resist it. Even if the divine religion really wants to destroy the Holy Kingdom, you and I will not be able to withstand it. What can be done?”
The conversation ended abruptly here.
When the three of them heard this, it was actually enough.
But the content revealed in this conversation makes people feel a little frightened.
Especially Mu Ningqiu, whose expression was not good-looking, "The divine religion has expanded to such an extent, and the Holy Kingdom has found nothing?"
