"It has been handed over."
Ling'er handed a stack of information into my hand. I looked through it again and threw the information aside: "There is nothing of value here... It's not right either..."
I said solemnly: "The information on the Detective's Hand contains the legend of King Qin's drive to the mountains. The Detective's Hand must have information that we don't know about. You are so good, Xue Yu."
Xue Yu's attitude is very obvious, that is: she is waiting for me to negotiate.
The information on the Detective Hand is related to the curse on Linger, and now it is also related to how I can resolve the inner elixir of the dragon in my body. Our lives are in Xue Yu's hands. As long as we pass, it means that we have fallen into a disadvantage.
I narrowed my eyes and said, "The beating on the detective hand this time didn't hurt enough. When they feel the pain, they will be honest."
"No!" Ling'er stopped: "Mother Fox warned you again and again before leaving, not to have any head-on conflicts with the Detective Hand again. If you touch the limit of the Detective Hand again, it will easily cause the Detective Hand to The rebound. Fox Mother and Chen Wen both want to stay at peace with Detective Hand for the time being."
I found that after the mission in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, Mother Fox and Chen Wen’s attitude towards the Detective Hand began to change. It seems that he is unwilling to confront the detective hand head-on, and even wants to avoid it. Although this change is not obvious, I can still feel that this adjustment seems to have something else in it.
Take this mission as an example. If Chen Wen hadn't changed his attitude, and with the inside information in Mother Fox's hands, I would have gotten the news before Xue Yu arrived at the coast. However, when Xue Yu came to my door, I didn't know that such a powerful figure was here. It is enough to prove that all Fox Mother's insiders have gone dormant, which itself represents a signal.
I can’t ask about things that Mother Fox doesn’t say. But this change is making me worried!
I thought for a while and then said, "I have to go find Xue Yu."
Ling'er hesitated: "Actually, I still have intelligence resources in my hand. Do you want to..."
"No!" I shook my head and said: "The resources of the Detective Hand are not equal to intelligence. There are some things that intelligence alone has no effect on. Let's go meet Xue Yu first."
When I met Xue Yu, I didn't say hello in advance. But the scene of her welcoming Ling'er appeared again before our eyes: "The tea is just right, please take a seat."
I couldn't help but narrowed my eyes: "Who are you inviting to sit down?"
There were five of us here, but there were only two chairs in front of Xue Yu. She meant that there were only two people who could sit down and drink tea with her and discuss Taoism.
Xue Yu smiled and said: "It depends, it's Wang Huan, the detective, or Second Lieutenant Wang from the research institute who is here today. If it's the former, there are three chairs here; if it's the latter, I'm not rude. You Is that right?"
I couldn't help but frown: What Xue Yu did to me was not a show of force, but a difficult problem. He asked me to make my position clear now, whether to come to her for official negotiations or for cooperation in the political arena. There may not seem to be much difference between the two, but the results obtained may be vastly different.
The simplest difference is, just like Xue Yu said, if I came here on behalf of the official government, not only would it not be rude for him to put two chairs, but it would be in line with the rules. Because among the five of us, the only ones with official titles are me and Ye Xun.
Before I could speak, Ye Xun spoke first: "I want to know, what identity do you represent?"
Xue Yu smiled and said: "Detecting God's Hand, the elder of the Wuming Sect, and Xue Yu himself, is there any difference?"
Ye Xun couldn't help but was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer Xue Yu's words. No matter how Xue Yu's identity is changed, the word "jianghu" cannot be escaped. Her identity will not change. After I reveal my identity, Xue Yu's attitude will change.
If I came on behalf of the institute, Xue Yu would definitely not cooperate with me happily. He would definitely be like Tai Chi push hands, coming and going, stalling with me calmly. What I lack most is time.
If I admit that I come as a Jianghu person, then I can no longer suppress Xue Yu with my official identity, which means I have lost my biggest advantage.
Of course, I can also show my official identity again after the matter is completed and turn my back on the Jianghu Agreement. However, if that happens, no one from the Jianghu will cooperate with me in the future. The reputation of the institute was destroyed by me personally. Of course, the gains and losses during this period can only be measured by myself.
I hesitated for a moment, and then I bowed my hand to Xue Yu in a Jianghu manner, and the latter immediately raised his thumb: "I knew that Brother Wang would choose the latter, because you have Jianghu spirit in your bones. Brother Wang, please sit."
As Xue Yu waved his hand, someone immediately moved out three chairs.
After I sat down, Xue Yu didn't speak. I could only say: "I'm very surprised, why do you have to confirm my identity? Shouldn't the secrets brought out by the detective hand from the mythical forbidden area be handed over to the official first?" What?"
Xue Yu shook his head and said: "According to common sense, this is true, but some secrets cannot be made public. They cannot even be allowed to exist, otherwise, there will be endless troubles. I think you should understand what I mean."
I shook my head deliberately and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Xue Yu smiled and said: "Actually, we don't have to play this kind of riddle between us. I can tell you bluntly. The headquarters will send me here this time because the secrets along the coast are too involved. The headquarters does not want the officials to get involved. You know What?"
"Only you?" I don't believe that the other party will only send out one Xue Yu when it comes to the secrets of Detective God.
Xue Yu said: "Of course it's not me. The headquarters is divided into nine groups this time, and each group is led by a core elder. This time, you attacked the coastal garrison too harshly. You killed all our elite disciples at once. In addition to the elders I lost, the coastal garrison will be completely destroyed. Otherwise, what you see will not be the current lineup."
I made a rough calculation in my mind, and couldn't help but feel slightly moved: Xue Yu was right. If you include the group of sect disciples lost when Zhang Zishuo disappeared, the Detective Hand had lost at least two groups of elites and four elders in the coastal area. , not counting those who fell into Ling'er's hands later. If they are integrated together, plus Xue Yu, they are indeed a force that cannot be ignored.
Xue Yu spoke again: "I know the purpose of Brother Wang's trip very well. I want to ask Brother Wang, how much are you prepared to pay to cooperate with us? I am not in a hurry to get the answer. Brother Wang can think about it for a while. If Brother Wang feels If it doesn’t taste right before the rain, I can change it to another pot and wait until Brother Wang thinks about it.”
My eyes couldn't help but narrow.
When Xue Yu looked at me with a smile, I also picked up the teacup on the table, held it in my hand and turned it gently: "You and I both know what the other person is worried about and what they need? What you lack most is time. And what I lack most is time. If you want to manipulate my time, you are right. But... "
My eyes suddenly turned sharp: "I can do nothing, but I will also make you unable to do anything?"
Xue Yu laughed and said, "It seems like I should be the one to say this, right?"
I smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will go to other sects to ask for news? This time, the sects of Detective Hand have suffered heavy losses. Don't they want to get some money back?"
Xue Yu's expression finally changed: "You won't do this. This way..."
I said in a deep voice: "You want to tell me to take care of the overall situation, right? What I can tell you is that after I die, I won't care about the flood."
Xue Yu stared into my eyes for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying: "I can give you the information, but all the proceeds from this mission belong to the Wuming Sect. Of course, except for the things you must need."
I hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay!"
Xue Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After the mission is over, I hope Ling'er can..."
My voice suddenly dropped: "You don't have to hope for anything. No matter who dares to take advantage of my companion, I will not hesitate to fight."
Xue Yu said angrily: "Do you know what it means to do what I want Ling'er to do?"
I said coldly: "What you do is up to you. It's best not to get involved with my people. If you continue to struggle with this matter, then let's go back and prepare for war! Even if I, Wang Huan, We must stay on the coast, but we must also make the eight thousand miles of sea a restricted area for your magic-exploring hands."
Xue Yu finally took a deep breath and sat down: "Sorry, I was too impatient."
Xue Yu said directly without waiting for me to speak: "The coastal restricted area. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the Dragon Vein restricted area. You should know the meaning of Dragon Vein, right?"
I couldn't help but frown: many people know about "Dragon Vein", but there are very few people who really understand Dragon Vein.
Dragon Veins in a narrow sense refers to undulating mountains. The dragon is the geographical context, the earth is the dragon's flesh, the stone is the dragon's bones, and the vegetation is the dragon's hair. What people always refer to as "the ins and outs" actually refers to the origin and direction of dragon veins. There must be a place where spiritual energy gathers in the mountains, or dragon veins, and that is the Dragon Cave that is often mentioned in Feng Shui. This is where the term "Xunlong Diancun" comes from.
Feng Shui experts have many names for dragon veins, such as: strong dragon, weak dragon, shun dragon, reverse dragon, true dragon, fake dragon, noble dragon, cheap dragon and so on. Therefore, not all dragon veins can produce eternal emperors. Some may even bring disaster.
However, I have only heard about dragon veins and have not seen them with my own eyes. In fact, even a Feng Shui master may not be able to find a dragon vein unknown to the world in his lifetime. Not to mention, someone like me who only knows a little bit about Feng Shui.
Seeing me nodding slightly, Xue Yu continued: "This mission in the coastal restricted area seems to be tracking pirates, but is it actually looking for dragon veins?"
"Looking for dragon veins? Under the sea?"
I have never heard of the fact that there are dragon veins under the sea.
