After sending away the pair of living treasures, the smile on Liang Xiao's face gradually faded and he sighed slightly.
At this moment, a sect elder walked in. After bowing and saluting, he said in a deep voice: "Sect Master, all the people sent by the He family to beg for goods from us have withdrawn."
Liang Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, "When did it happen?"
"Not long ago, the sect master ordered his subordinates to report back as soon as possible if there is any movement in the He family. I have just received the news."
The elder replied immediately.
Liang Xiao groaned, feeling that something was a little weird.
Although this was not beyond what he and Lu Li had expected, the He family's actions were a bit too quick.
"Send someone to check what the He family is doing. Also, ask a few clever disciples to inquire about the movements of the Xiang family and the Xue family. If there is anything wrong, ask them to report it as soon as possible."
After Liang Xiao said this, the elder nodded in agreement. Before he was about to leave, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"Does the sect master have any other instructions?"
Liang Xiao thought for a while and then said: "Send someone... to find out what the cult is currently doing. Remember, don't make a big show of it. If you really can't find out, just forget it. Safety comes first."
"Theistic religion?"
The elder was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was shocked, "What the sect leader means is..."
Liang Xiao nodded solemnly, "There should be some changes in the divine religion that we don't know about, but we can't be sure whether this change is good or bad at the moment."
"If there are really any changes in the Divine Religion, we should make preparations early."
After receiving Liang Xiao's order, the elder did not dare to delay, and walked quickly, preparing to instruct the disciples below to collect information.
Linzhou has been too chaotic recently. Although Tingfeng Sect is located on the border of Linzhou, it can really feel the storm brewing under the chaos.
After the elder left, Liang Xiao tapped the table gently and pondered for a long time. Finally, he took out the jade slip that Lu Li gave to him and established contact with that side.
…
"Is he the master of Tingfeng Sect?"
The group of people who had left Linzhou were taking a break by the official road. Mu Ningqiu stepped out of the carriage and saw Lu Li just putting down the flickering jade slip, so she came over to ask.
Lu Li nodded, "Sect Master Liang sent two disciples to support us."
"Support? I think you want to sell it well."
Mu Ningqiu smiled disdainfully.
She knew this method all too well.
Taking advantage of the current situation in Prince Yan's house, he came over to sell it and make a good relationship. Those real aristocratic families have always been like this. They will not clearly stand on any side, but have a harmonious relationship with each side. Only in this way, if any turmoil occurs, they themselves will not be affected.
But even if the sale is successful, Liang Xiao dares to approach Prince Yan's Mansion at this moment, which is quite courageous.
So Mu Ningqiu did not taunt you, but asked: "Besides these, there should be other things. He is also the head of a sect. Even if he wants to sell well, he will not notify you personally for such a trivial matter. "
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Your Highness the Princess." Lu Li said with a smile: "In addition to this incident, Liang Xiao also informed me that the He family suddenly made unusual moves, and he suspected that there was something wrong within the cult."
"What's the problem?" Mu Ningqiu sat down right next to Ling'er, tilting her head to see what book she was reading.
Ling'er smiled gently and took the book in her hand closer to Mu Ningqiu.
When she found out that Ling'er was reading a book about ancient and wild history, she lost interest, but still praised: "Sister Ling'er really loves reading, much better than some unlearned guys."
Ling'er said softly: "Sister, please don't tease me. I just want to know more about this world. Books and words are how humans understand the world. It is always right to read more books."
After hearing Ling'er's answer, Lu Li, who was classified as 'uneducated and unskilled', gave a thumbs up and said, "Well said."
Then he said to Mu Ningqiu: "I suspect that the woman Jiang Taohua is causing trouble."
"Wouldn't that be better? If their religious sect is in chaos, they won't have the energy to cause trouble for us."
Mu Ningqiu was still very hostile to Jiang Taohua, and snorted coldly: "And that crazy bitch... She'd better pray that I don't catch the chance, otherwise I will slap her on that hateful face! "
Lu Li felt a chill go down his spine and quickly changed the subject: "The problems within the Divine Religion actually have nothing to do with us, but I still asked Sect Leader Liang to pay more attention to their movements. After all, we don't know how far the Divine Religion is. There is a hidden chess game buried in the state capital, and where are the great envoys like Jiang Taohua hiding?"
This sentence really gets to the point.
The biggest problem with theistic religions is that they know how to hide. No one knows where the cult is hidden, and they can't be sure if there are any members of the cult around. Moreover, this time in Linzhou, they met the tip of the iceberg of the cult. Even if Mu Ningqiu didn't say it, she still knew it in her heart. This cult created a strong sense of vigilance.
Just three great envoys have the power to destabilize a party. Not to mention that there are two popes on top of the great envoys, as well as an unknown number of 'envoys' and 'congregants'.
"But I guess that the big moves of the Divine Sect should stop in Linzhou. If it weren't for the Tianren Cave Mansion, I guess the Divine Sect wouldn't have made such a big fuss. No matter how strong they are, they wouldn't dare to make too big a fuss. , otherwise the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian will be forced to take action and destroy them all, and they will have nowhere to escape."
Lu Li put the jade slip away and said, "Actually, even without the Divine Religion, the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven would have been riddled with holes. You know this better than anyone else."
"Aren't they those damn bastards who are selfish and only think about their immediate interests, but they don't understand at all that once the Tiantian Holy Kingdom becomes turbulent, their interests will be nothing but nothing!"
Mu Ningqiu felt itching with hatred when she mentioned those short-sighted idiots.
Lu Li patted her shoulder casually: "Don't think too much, we only have one task now, to safely send your aunt to Yanzhou. We will talk about the rest later."
"And don't forget that the two countries are currently at war, and we don't know what the situation will be like at the border. As the eldest princess, you must not mess up your position."
Mu Ningqiu swept her shoulders in disgust, "Do I still need you to teach me these things?"
"I don't mean to teach you." Lu Li shook his head, but he immediately thought of the Holy Kingdom's emperor's expectations for this princess. Maybe she will be the next Lord of the Holy Kingdom, the first person since the founding of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom. A female emperor. If I could become a national master or something like that, that would actually be okay
Just as Lu Li was thinking, Mu Ningqiu snorted and left.
After she left, the little fur ball lying on Ling'er's lap shook his hair and said lazily: "You have been noisy all day, don't you feel tired?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Li glared at it: "Do you have any solution to the problem of the metal egg? I can tell you that if that thing really hatches a monster, I will die even if it hatches a monster. Feed it your first tooth-beating ceremony."
The little fur ball trembled and said fiercely: "If I say it can be solved, it will be solved! You little brat, you are so impatient, I will eat you first when that thing comes out!"
"No matter who eats it, I have seen with my own eyes how terrifying that thing is. A space storm can be swallowed in one bite. If it really hatches, the True Martial Realm won't be enough for it to take a few bites, right?"
Lu Li now felt that the metal egg was the biggest hidden danger at the moment.
Even the little fur ball didn't know what kind of creatures could be hatched from the metal egg that was fused with the blood of many powerful creatures.
Moreover, what made Lu Li most uneasy was that ever since the shell of the metal egg cracked, there had been a terrifying aura coming out of the egg from time to time. Let alone a demon, not even Bai Bai dared to approach him now.
"I don't know if we can find a way to cover up the smell of this metal egg." Lu Li pulled his sleeves and said with a serious expression: "The demon slave owners went to great lengths to smuggle this egg away, which shows that this An egg is a very important treasure to a strong person, and besides, it is still dirty. Even if the person who wants to buy the egg doesn't come to find it, and the person who lost the egg comes to find it, I will still be speechless."
