Wei Zicai was very surprised: "Your Excellency, you don't know this?"
Zhao Changhe pointed at his mask and asked, "Do you see what it is?"
"pig."
"That's right, I don't know what's weird about that?"
“Pfft…” Before Wei Zicai could react, Zhuque behind him bent over with laughter.
Wei Zicai's expression twitched as well, and after a long while he said, "Your Excellency is really a joker... Well, I don't know about this, I guess you have just joined the company? In fact, this matter is not that complicated. First of all, Your Majesty does not want to monopolize all the ancient secret places, and let everyone try their luck..."
Zhao Changhe raised his hand: "I know about this. Your Majesty is very broad-minded in this matter."
Suzaku glanced at him with a half-smile.
Most people would indeed conclude that Xia Longyuan was broad-minded, but Zhuque disagreed. She preferred to think that this was a testing ground for Xia Longyuan, letting all parties fight to the death for an ancient secret place.
In Suzaku's eyes, Xia Longyuan himself was largely responsible for the chaos in the world.
Otherwise, if he had married the White Tiger Saintess and stabilized the Four Symbols Sect, at least the Four Symbols Sect might not rebel, and could have been used as an important arm. But his actions ruined this matter, forcing a sect that could have been an arm to become a demon sect that only wanted to cause chaos in the world. What disgusted Zhuque the most was that they knew that this was probably what Xia Longyuan wanted, but they still did it.
Wei Zicai hesitated for a moment and replied, "There are many powerful people or sects who don't care about other things, but only care about exploring the ancient secrets. For places like Ancient Sword Lake that are rumored to have ancient secrets, there are often many forces stationed around to explore, which makes them check and balance each other, so that no one can dominate. Many years ago, many wars broke out by the Ancient Sword Lake, and even people on the Heavenly Ranking participated in them."
Zhao Changhe got a similar conclusion as Zhuque this time. It seemed that Xia Longyuan was using these ancient secret places to instigate chaos among the parties. "And then?"
"The various parties were fighting in a mess, but they didn't even know whether there was anything in the Ancient Sword Lake, which seemed very stupid. So there was a meeting between the various parties, and finally they agreed not to stay in person and book the place, like the Cui family or the Four Symbols Sect, and come every now and then to check, whoever finds it gets it, and they don't interfere with each other. But everyone was worried that someone else would come secretly to book the place, so they all supported their subordinate gangs to keep an eye on the nearby towns, which led to a situation of mixed forces. Our Demon Suppression Division just sent some spies to pay attention to the changes here, and the special situation of Jianhu City was born. In fact, there are many similar places in the world, and Jianhu City is a more typical one."
Zhao Changhe scratched his head, and saw that there were probably countless "Jianhu Cities" in the world, which were outside the conventional court rule and were occupied by gangs.
It's okay in normal times, but once times of chaos come, these places may evolve into a kind of separatist area, and messy "city lords" will probably pop up everywhere like mushrooms after rain and become local overlords.
As expected, Wei Zicai continued, "After years of evolution, these forces probably no longer care about what's in the lake. At the beginning, we knew that the Four Symbols Sect had taken away the things in the lake, but the forces in the city might not know it, which shows that they have long deviated from the original intention of being stationed here. Instead, they have divided up the territory and fought for interests. Especially now that troubled times are approaching, the gang disputes over who has the final say in this city are becoming more and more obvious. With the Tianyi Gang being incorporated into the Pinghu Society, the pattern of Yan Lianping of the Pinghu Society dominating this city has begun to take shape. We are now waiting for a reply from the First Lord, whether it is time to evacuate."
Zhao Changhe nodded and said, "Two questions. What is Yan Lianping's strength and what force is behind him?"
"Yan Lianping Xuanguan Yahe..."
"So he actually needs the help of others to beat Han Wubing?"
"Because Han Wubing has already reached the seventh level of Xuanguan, his swordsmanship is unparalleled. If they really fight alone, Yan Lianping is afraid that he really can't beat him."
"Fuck, how come this guy is faster than me... Then what? Who is the power behind Yan Lianping?"
Wei Zicai was a little embarrassed: "Well... we don't know what force is behind him."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "No way? Shouldn't this be known long ago?"
Wei Zicai coughed dryly and said, "In theory, the Pinghu Society should be a member of the Four Symbols Sect, but we found that the last time the White Tiger Saint came here, she did not contact them. There are two reasons for not contacting them. One is that the White Tiger Saint felt that the Pinghu Society had been targeted by us, and she did not want to be exposed to our vision, so she deliberately did not contact the Pinghu Society. The second is that the Pinghu Society may have already become estranged from the Four Symbols Sect, and the White Tiger Saint no longer trusts them."
Zhao Changhe glanced at Zhuque, but his expression was invisible because of his pig face.
This matter is very interesting. After many twists and turns, it is related to the young lady next to him. Including the previous rumors, it is also related to him, Zhao Changhe. It is no longer just Han Wubing's matter.
This time I came at the right time.
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you have the second suspicion? What did Pinghu do to make you think so?"
"The Mad Lion He Lei left Mount Tai with injuries. He passed by this place and quietly stayed at Pinghu Society to recuperate. We believe that Pinghu Society may have had something to do with the Hu people, but we don't know whether the Four Symbols Sect knows about this situation, nor do we know the Four Symbols Sect's attitude towards the Hu people, so it's hard to analyze."
"I see." Zhao Changhe felt much more relaxed, and patted Wei Zicai on the shoulder with a smile: "Okay, the information is complete and well-organized. I will talk to the chief later." Wei Zicai showed his joy: "Thank you for your support, sir."
"last question."
"Please speak, sir."
"Where did Han Wubing find out that someone was spreading rumors about Zhao Changhe?"
"Kangle Casino. Han Wubing was passing by and heard someone talking loudly about this in the casino."
"Whose power is the Kangle Casino?"
Wei Zicai showed a strange look: "I didn't find out."
Zhao Changhe stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "It's okay, no one can be omniscient and omnipotent, just work harder in the future."
Wei Zicai heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "See you off, Special Envoy."
After leaving Wanhua Tower, Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at the bamboo building, as if thinking about something.
Suzaku asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
"According to the theory that each company assigned subordinates to be stationed here, it is impossible that they don't know who is behind the Kangle Casino. This doesn't make sense. And if they deliberately concealed it, this matter should have nothing to do with the Kangle Casino itself. I just asked casually, why do you need to hide it from me?"
Zhuque said leisurely, "Kangle Casino came later and was not one of the first ones. It's not surprising that we can't find out, but it's not right if we don't have any guesses. We in the Holy Church guess that it should be Ying Wu's people."
Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat: "Eighth on the Heavenly Ranking!"
"Yes... but it sounds like this matter has nothing to do with them, right?"
"What do you think about the Pinghu Society?"
"Yan Lianping is Wei Yueyan from the Twenty-Eight Mansions. We didn't contact him at the time simply because we didn't want to reveal that he was one of ours. We didn't expect that the Demon Suppression Division had known about it..." Zhuque said, his tone a little cold: "We didn't know that he was actually connected to the Hu people. The Demon Suppression Division helped us a lot."
Zhao Changhe laughed and said, "Is there a traitor?"
Zhuque's tone became more relaxed again: "Who doesn't have a few traitors in their family? It's good to be able to find them early. But I can't take this matter seriously just because the Demon Suppression Bureau said so. I still need to investigate a little bit."
Zhao Changhe asked: "What do you think?"
"You and I will act separately. I will go to find Yan Lianping openly, and you can do whatever you want. I will quietly go to the inn to find you tonight."
Zhuque said, and suddenly smiled: "What an anomaly, I originally just wanted to get to know you better, and protect you from being killed by the Wang family, but I didn't expect that this matter was related to me, and it became a collaboration between you and me."
Zhao Changhe laughed: "This means that even the heavens don't want me to owe a favor to the Four Symbols Sect... Maybe on the contrary, if this matter goes wrong, you will have to owe me a favor."
"Tsk." Suzaku sneered, "Just you? A little man of the sixth level of Xuanguan? Or do you want to use the clues of the Demon Suppression Division as a favor?"
Zhao Changhe snorted, "Then let's make a bet? If you help me more, I will call you my good sister from now on."
Zhuque's beautiful eyes moved, and she chuckled, "If I lose, then it will be good brother?"
"If you lose, can you take off your mask in front of me next time?"
