"Greetings, Boss! You are so honored to be here. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"
In a room in the backyard of Fengyun Tower, the young man and another man dressed as a shopkeeper closed the door and immediately knelt on one knee respectfully.
"No need to be polite. I am here to attend the Blood Blade Sect's grand ceremony to re-establish its mountain gate. I happened to be passing through Fancheng, so I came to take a look."
Yan Xiong motioned for the two to get up.
This Fengyun Tower is the base of the Tianxiahui's secret agents in Fancheng.
And these two people are the persons in charge of this stronghold.
"Has anything important happened in Fancheng recently?"
Now that he has come to this city, Yan Xiong naturally wants to ask about the situation here.
"My Lord, there has been no major incident recently. However, since the second son of the Chu family led his people away from Fancheng, the Chu family's strength has declined. Therefore, the old man Ku Mu from the Ku Mu Society seems to have the intention of annexing the Chu family. These days, the two families often clash over trivial matters."
The man dressed as a shopkeeper replied.
After a pause, he continued:
"Also, in recent days, Chu Xiaoyun, the third son of the Chu family, has gone somewhere unknown and has not appeared in many days."
"There's no need to investigate Chu Xiaoyun. He has already sneaked into Sand City. It's obvious that he has some plans for the silver mine outside Sand City.
I have already made arrangements for him, so you don't have to focus on him."
Chu Xiaoyun thought he had sneaked into Sand City without anyone noticing, but he didn't know that during the period when Tianxiahui ruled Sand City, the entire Sand City was already firmly in the hands of Tianxiahui.
Chu Xiaoyun had been in the city for only two days when he was discovered by people from the Tianxiahui, and the news was reported to Yan Xiong.
After knowing the news, Yan Xiong did not touch him because he wanted him to contact more people so that he could catch them all in one fell swoop.
Judging from the time, at this time today, it is possible that Chu Xiaoyun has already died or been captured.
And the fact was just as Yan Xiong thought. At this time, Chu Xiaoyun was shouting and screaming in the prison of Tianxiahui.
"Let me go!"
"Yan Xiong, you despicable bastard! If you have the guts, stop plotting and fight me squarely!"
Chu Xiaoyun never expected that he had been planning carefully for many days and had gathered no less than several hundred people into the city.
But before he could give the order, he was surrounded by two eighth-grade masters in the courtyard where he was hiding.
Although he was inspired by Yan Xiong some time ago, and practiced hard day and night after returning and took precious medicinal herbs to break through to the eighth level, but facing two eighth-level masters, one of whom was at the peak of the eighth level, he was naturally defeated quickly.
Not only was he defeated, he didn't even have a chance to escape and was captured directly.
He had clearly arranged everything, and as long as he gave the order, the Tianxiahui would suffer a heavy blow.
But at this moment, the Tianxiahui actually captured him.
To describe his mood at this moment in one sentence, it is:
"To die before achieving one's goal will always make the hero shed tears."
Therefore, Chu Xiaoyun's mood at this time can only be described as a mixture of grief and anger.
"Don't shout, the gang leader has already left Sand City, you know that.
If the leader is here, how dare you little fleas show up
Now that the leader is not here and you've been defeated, you actually want to face off against my leader.
Tell me, are you worthy?"
The guard passing by said something sarcastically, then ignored him and left the cell where he was.
"Ah... Tianxiahui, I cannot coexist with you..."
…
Yan Xiong didn't know what happened in Sand City.
At this time, Yan Xiong was still asking about the things in Fancheng.
"Do you know where Chu Xiaoyu went?"
Yan Xiong now basically doesn't take the Chu family seriously.
The only person he had to take seriously was the extremely intelligent Chu Xiaoyu.
"Boss, I haven't found out his exact whereabouts, but the Chu family's insider said that Chu Xiaoyu seemed to have left after receiving a letter from the Tianji Pavilion."
"Tianji Pavilion?"
Yan Xiong muttered to himself upon hearing this.
What he hates most now is this kind of guy with a backer.
You can't kill them indiscriminately, you can only kill them through conspiracy and trickery.
Although both involve killing, compared with doing it openly and honestly, using conspiracy always makes me feel uncomfortable and wastes my brain cells.
Since Chu Xiaoyu is in collusion with the fortune tellers in Tianji Pavilion, there is basically nothing to investigate.
Although those guys are not very good at martial arts, they are the best in the world when it comes to risk avoidance.
It is basically difficult to find out information about them.
Putting aside the matter of Chu Xiaoyu, Yan looked at the two of them and talked about the main purpose of his trip.
"Last time you said that there was a forger named Monger in the Forging Alliance who had forged armor in the Weapon Sect. Where is he?"
Yan Xiong is very concerned about the cavalry unit that is being built in the gang.
Although he now has a cavalry team of 500 people, he still wants to expand it.
However, this person is easy to find, and the horse is easy to find. The only difficult thing is that the armor is a bit difficult to deal with.
Going to Qi Zong to buy it is too expensive and far away, so it is really not cost-effective.
Therefore, he planned to find a blacksmith to build a weapons forge for the Tianxiahui.
In this way, it can not only provide an income for Tianxiahui, but also make Tianxiahui self-sufficient.
"Boss, that Mengge is in Sanfang Street in the east of the city. He recently offended Wu Qingfeng and was blocked at home by Wu Qingfeng."
The shopkeeper replied.
"Oh? Wu Qingfeng!"
Yan Xiong was no stranger to this guy. The last time Chu Xiaoyu went to the Tianxiahui to redeem someone, he brought him with him.
He was a proud and money-loving fellow.
"Okay, I'll go find him myself.
Please give me a map of the headquarters of the Kurumu Society, and I will go to meet the old man Kurumu in the evening.
By then, if everything goes well, maybe I can add a reliable helper for you in Fancheng."
Some time ago, among the supplies that Xu's Trading Company handed over to the Tianxia Association was a hundred-year-old toad.
This thing is quite toxic and can be used to make heart-eating poison.
After this period of time, he had already refined the poison.
This time, a total of two poison pills were produced.
Because of the increased toxicity, the current heart-eating poison can already make people of the eighth rank defenseless, and even people of the seventh rank will be affected if they are not careful.
The Kurumu Society is one of the three forces in Fancheng.
They would also be an obstacle to ruling Fancheng.
Therefore, Yan Xiong planned to put a pill of poison on the old man Ku Mu.
By controlling this guy, the Tianxiahui will be able to let the Kurumuhui mess up Fancheng.
In this way, Tianxiahui would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I won't stay here for long. If you have any problems, please inform Ah San and let him make the decision."
After asking, Yan Xiong planned to leave.
"Boss, I have a favor to ask of you!"
At this time, the man dressed as a shopkeeper suddenly knelt down and said.
"What is it?"
Yan Xiong stood up and sat back down, looking at him.
"It's like this, I married a wife in Fancheng.
I am worried that something bad might happen to her in Fancheng, so I would like to ask the leader to allow me to send her back to the gang!"
Said the man dressed as a shopkeeper.
