After parting from Hilo, I thought for a long time and summoned Changqing again.
Changqing shaved his beard and changed into neater clothes, making him look much younger. But the fierce appearance has not changed. Considering his special status, I did not go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet him, but made an appointment with him in an inconspicuous alley in the city.
Seeing Changqing, I asked straight to the point:
"Is there a way to check Hilo's history?"
Changqing clasped his hands together, the thumb of his left hand kept stroking the frostbite on the back of his right hand, and said in a low voice:
"It's difficult. We don't have our own chess pieces in each territory, so we can't get any information. All the clues come from Hilo alone. As long as she doesn't tell, everything will be impossible to find out."
Same as I thought.
Changqing sighed, looked at me with complicated expressions, and said slowly:
"However, I've thought about it in private. The twelfth or thirteen-year-old secret path's seven great achievements can only be cultivated by those territories with absolute top strength. The eldest son who was once the lord of Cangzhou is also such a young talent. Apart from his own talent and hard work , the treasures spent on him in the past ten years are worth more than 60,000 gold coins."
I am dumbfounded:
"Sixty thousand? Gold coins?! Really big enough."
Evergreen said:
"You will understand gradually. For those high-ranking people, they can't spend all their money every day. Eat the best, wear the most expensive, use the most extravagant, play the most beautiful, and live in dreams every day. Spending and drinking every day, their money has not decreased, but is still increasing every day. The wealth in the world will always gather in the hands of those at the top at an extraordinary speed, and it is hard for the bottom to imagine what they are living A luxurious life. When you get to that point, you will know that 60,000 gold coins are really nothing in their eyes, and it is used on their own son, so there is nothing grand about it."
"and after?"
I asked a question.
Changqing replied with some emotion:
"Later? Alas... the realm bubble collapsed when the seventh level went to the eighth level. After the sixth level, doesn't every level have to be tested? The sixth level asks the heart, the seventh level asks, the eighth level travels all over the world and goes through thousands of dangers, and the ninth level cleanses the marrow and cuts hair, Reborn, ten thousand blades added to the body, alone against the catastrophe. The son of the lord of Cangzhou, with a clear conscience, has succeeded in asking questions, but because life is so smooth, he has not experienced any hardships. Seventh and eighth layers should have traveled all over the world. He took a shortcut, his realm was completely abolished, and he vomited blood and died. I was there that day, and I was really moved. It is said that cultivation is like climbing a mountain, and if you step on the ground, you will be lost, and it is actually true."
I thought about Alaiya, and felt that there was nothing to worry about.
My plan for Alaiya is that if she always wants to become stronger, I have a way to make her the strongest human being. It takes a lot of time, but it's okay. If she wants to stop and rest one day, then she can stop there, and I will never rush her.
Seeing Changqing's hesitant to speak, I asked:
"What's the matter, just say something."
Changqing said with a wry smile:
"Having said so much, what I mean is that little sister Hilo seems to be underage, but her realm has already reached the Seventh Great Consummation. And the promotion from the seventh level to the eighth level happens to be going out for a trip... You should understand, she is from a rich family The child who came out came to Yuxi City only for traveling, not free. Even if she was willing to come to Yuxi City, the forces behind her would not let her go easily. And the people behind her, to be honest... we all I can't afford it."
"In other words, the focus is not on Hilo, but on the forces behind her?"
Seeing Changqing nodding, I smiled and said:
"That kind of thing, I knew it from the beginning."
"Eh?"
"How should I put it... that is, if you go to poach other people's walls, you must always be careful that they will retaliate. Now that I plan to do this, I have a rough idea of what consequences I will bear. Let's see, if it is really What I can't handle, I'll give up. It's just..."
I narrowed my eyes and didn't finish speaking.
If Hilo was really that important to them, would they let Hilo die in Yuxi City
To put it bluntly, Hilo is just a tool for them, and tools can be quantified and traded.
It's nothing more than the amount of benefits.
Changqing said helplessly:
"The formation of the Anbu of Yuxi City was not a one-day achievement. Although I made a plan, the progress was not smooth."
I asked:
"Didn't I open the file for you? You can find anyone in Yuxi City, and I will cooperate."
Evergreen said:
"No. Frankly speaking, I am also groping for many things. Although I have worked in Anbu and am familiar with the system inside, I was not in a management position before. Ha... Otherwise, I would not have been sent to this place. Now it is suddenly transformed into a management team, and there are many places where there is more than enough energy.”
I froze for a moment before reacting.
Speaking of which, Yuxi City has always been relatively smooth.
Filita's defense of the city, Heyue's internal affairs, Fang Shisan's military affairs, and Baihuang's patrolling, everyone is doing what they are good at, and they are doing very well. Although there are some various problems, but generally speaking, it does not affect them, and they can solve them by themselves.
But not everyone is like those few.
Giving the establishment of the entire Anbu organization to a dark chess player left over from the Cangzhou Territory actually reveals deep helplessness because I really don't have such talents around me. Changqing is a good person and has the heart to do things, but his ability is indeed limited, and many things cannot be solved with hard work. Felita, He Yue, Fang Shisan, and even Bai Huang, these people can be regarded as top talents in their own fields. Felita could read magic books by herself when she was a child, He Yue could understand the general trend of the world without receiving internal affairs, and Fang Shisan commanded the three armies as if she was blind and lame.
For Changqing, it relies more on hard work and experience.
If hard work is useful, what is genius to do.
Looking at Changqing's helpless and somewhat ashamed eyes, I laughed, patted his shoulder, and said:
"It's a bit difficult, but... just make it difficult. I will try my best to find someone to help you, but at this stage, you can establish the institutional framework. As for whether the system can work well, don't worry about it. I promise you What you promised was to help your boss rehabilitate you. What you promised is to help me do things now. As for the stage, it doesn’t matter. You have done everything you can do. If you can’t reach the part, I will find someone to help you. good."
Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
When Changqing left, I rubbed the space between my eyebrows.
… a headache, a real headache.
