Chapter 46, Gathering Intelligence
Facing the vest of the North Sword Sect, Li Mu and his group successfully mingled into the Hanchuan martial arts world. No one could see through his identity, which was entirely due to the great Zhou Empire.
"Five thousand miles of different sounds, ten thousand miles of different customs."
The barriers brought by distance cannot be eliminated by human power. Moreover, the Great Zhou Empire is not a master with strong execution capabilities. It is powerful for the founding emperor to unify the language and writing.
There are more than a dozen states separated by Guangliangzhou and Hanchuan County. It is normal for everyone to have different habits, but it is a problem if it is the same.
As for the military style revealed, there is nothing strange about it. Although the Great Zhou Empire has many martial arts forces, most of them were introduced by wealthy families.
Only the seven schools of righteous path and the five sects of the Demonic Path can truly be unaffected and remain independent.
These twelve top martial arts forces, without exception, are all warriors with Golden Pills, and there are not only one. There are even rumors that there are warriors of the soul.
No one knows whether it is true or not. Anyway, only these twelve martial arts families in the Great Zhou Dynasty have a transcendent status. The remaining martial arts forces are just that, and they are not much stronger.
If there are celestial warriors in charge, they are all powerful people in the county and can be ranked among the states.
If there is a Jindan warrior, as long as he is not particularly lucky and is a neighbor of a top martial arts force or a top wealthy family, he will be the overlord of a state.
In fact, this kind of collision has never happened. If there is a large force entrenchment, there is no possibility of a second major force being born.
Liangzhou is not a holy place for martial arts, and Hanchuan martial arts are naturally not much stronger. Comfortable natural conditions and comfortable environment are the easiest to erase people's fighting spirit.
You can tell when you walk around the street that Hanchuan County is far inferior to the North, whether in terms of the number of warriors or overall strength.
Of course, the south also has its own advantages. The land is fertile and suitable for grain production, with a large population and a developed economy.
Unfortunately, this is not a world that competes in population and economy. The fertile land is just ordinary land, and the cultivation resources are not as good as those in the north.
Perhaps this is also a balance of the way of heaven. While gaining something, you will inevitably lose something.
"This month has not been in vain. We have been able to understand the situation in the Hanchuan martial arts world, and we even know about the Liangzhou martial arts world.
To summarize the information you have collected, there are seven sects in the martial arts world in Hanchuan that need our attention to: the Bailong Gang, the Sanchuan League, the Bamiao Society, the Dongqing Sect, the Tianqing Temple, the Chanlin Temple, and the Shilongzhai.
The number is a little more, but this also proves from the indirect evidence that there are no strong dragons in Hanchuan. We only need to deal with a group of local snakes, and there are still possible allies among these local snakes.
In contrast, the situation in the martial arts world in Liangzhou is much more complicated. There are hundreds of gangs marked by everyone, including thirteen of them, including celestial warriors, and two of them are suspected of existential masters of the Golden Pill.
It's simply: small temple..."
When the words came to his mouth, Li Mu swallowed them back. Neither Hanchuan County nor Liangzhou Prefecture could be described as "small".
Whether it is the territory or the population, it is a perfect giant and has nothing to do with the little one.
Just looking at the number, Liangzhou seems to have a lot of martial arts forces. But looking at its strength, it would be a bit of a praising.
What is counted now is only: there are more than five innate warriors, or the forces of the martial arts in the world that exist in heaven and man warriors.
The standards are so wide that there are not many gangs on the list, which is enough to show that the environment in Hanchuan is too comfortable and not suitable for cultivating strong people.
Li Liang, who was standing by, took the opportunity to take the sentence: "The Thirteenth brother said it was right, the situation in Liangzhou is indeed chaotic.
Looking at a corner, you can know the overall situation. Hanchuan County has good economic strength, with brothels and casinos everywhere, and its prosperity has exceeded Dingyuan.
However, compared with the prosperity of the city, the depression in the countryside is extremely terrifying. The countless villages we pass by are all a piece of food, and the sufferings of people's livelihood are far beyond imagination.
Perhaps this is the main reason why the Hanchuan rebels are everywhere. Fortunately, most of these common people are ordinary people, otherwise the situation in Hanchuan and even Liangzhou will collapse."
Comparing Dingyuan County with Hanchuan County is purely a compliment. Dingyuan County, as the territory of the vassal state, is the foundation of the marquis's mansion for thousands of years, so naturally, it must be managed with care.
Hanchuan County is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the officials are all foreign officials. They just get a vote and leave. Who cares about the lives of the people?
The biggest problem is to let the wealthy families below make trouble and not have any problems. Now this kind of small chaos is constantly and there is no big chaos, but it is actually the most ideal state.
Troubled times are both great crises and great opportunities. For a wealthy family, this is the best opportunity to reshuffle.
The great families can use the rebels' hands to severely damage, or destroy competitors, and expand their own power again.
Small and medium-sized families also have the opportunity to go against the current. As long as the bosses above are damaged, their chances will come.
The Great Zhou Empire was strong, the wealthy families and nobles. Over the past ten thousand years, the rise and loneliness of wealthy families have happened many times.
Looking at the sky, Li Mu said thoughtfully: "It's only a matter of time before the situation in Hanchuan or Liangzhou collapses.
Don’t forget that the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom is almost ten thousand years ago. The biggest disaster since its founding is about to come. How can the land of Hanchuan be safe?
There are indeed not many warriors among the people, but there are wealthy families and gangs in the martial arts world. Not all wealthy families, gangs in the martial arts world stand together with the court. Once ambition is born, it will never be suppressed.
This time we came here not only to be an official, but also to open up new foundations for the family.
The cunning rabbit has three caves. If the family wants to last forever, they must prepare enough retreats. Just a Dingyuan County is far from enough."
They were all forced out. These people followed, and they were all just trying to make a fortune and left. If everyone wanted to work hard, Li Mu could only talk about his family.
If you serve the imperial court, just talk outside. If you keep the door closed, who believes such nonsense?
Only under the banner of the family can these guys work hard. The most important thing is to concentrate resources as much as possible instead of getting any benefits, and immediately take them out and divide them all.
As the youngest and most hopeful celestial warrior in the family who has the potential to break through the golden elixir, it is completely reasonable to get more cultivation resources.
If you go back and compete with a group of ancestors for resources, it may be troublesome. Just want to obtain resources from the newly opened base, the clan will definitely support you strongly.
This is a long-term investment. As long as you can break through to the Grand Master of Jindan, all your investment can be earned back ten times.
Even if you are stuck in the last step, you can still recover the cost. The lifespan of the celestial warrior is so long that he has time to work to pay off his debts.
...
After using great deception to inject blood on everyone, Li Mu and his party continued to live in Hanchuan City under the banner of Beijianmen.
Neither visiting fellow travelers in the world nor inquire about business channels. I know that I linger in brothels, wine shops, and teahouses all day long, as if I was happy and forgot about the serious business.
Leave Li Liang to take charge of the overall situation, restore the image of a playboy, Li Mu and the naughty child, and once again enter the Tianxianglou chain in the country.
Dingyuan caused such a big disaster and was not sealed by the court, which is enough to prove that there is some connection between the Demon Sect of the Pure Land and the Great Zhou Empire.
But this is not what Li Mu pays attention to. After experiencing so much, he has long passed the black or white stage.
Since good and evil can collude, it is no big deal to hook up with the thieves. What's more, the thieves on the surface must be real thieves.
Li Mu did fishing and law enforcement when he was in charge of Huashan Sword, but there was no reason why the court could not do it.
The hardships of thousands of years have never been lost. The rich political experience accumulated is enough to make the Zhou emperor lose all his moral integrity.
After so many years of establishment of the Great Zhou Empire, who knows how many secrets were buried and how many backup plans were prepared?
This is also the core reason why Li Mu was in peace in the court. After all, the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire was too deep.
If you rebel and play the chariot, you will see the general trend coming, but at the critical moment, you will find that you are all people from the court, and you are a real thief. Wouldn't it be a tragedy in your life?
If you pretend to be confused with your understanding, everyone is acting, so let’s follow the plot. A little trickster will go to modify the script without authorization, and you will be kicked out.
Following the madam into a luxurious private room, Li Mu's temperament changed instantly. He picked up the tea cup on the table, buckled the tea base, and waited for the madam's reaction.
"When the two guests were in contact, I wonder if there were any girls who were familiar with each other?"
Looking at the clapper who seemed to be smiling, Li Mu smiled slightly: "Princess, are you kidding?"
Since we know how to meet, we still ask if there are any girls we know. But we really have acquaintances, how about it, why not come out and talk about it?"
The madam replied with a slight smile: "Since we are here in Tianxiang Tower, all the girls inside are Tianxiang girls, otherwise how many of them will I choose from?"
"No, we just want to be a real girl Tianxiang!"
While speaking, Li Mu had already put on an energy stone.
Each line has its own rules. If you want to buy other people's information, you must follow them.
If it weren't for a coincidence, Li Mu wouldn't believe that the Jile Demon Sect had actually expanded its business to Hanchuan County.
However, brothels have always been a place where all walks of life and all walks of life are the easiest to collect information and information. With such a foundation, there is nothing strange about launching intelligence services.
However, Tianxianglou is sold only in the most basic information. As long as you work hard to collect it, other major forces can also get it.
This information is also sold by local snake gangs, which is not a taboo. It is far less awesome than ordinary Chinese intelligence organizations, and can get any secret information.
The reason for choosing Tianxianglou is that it is because it has good reputation and will not sell out the employer's information. If you buy it from outside the gang, it will probably be heard by the major families in the ears of them.
"Two guests, Miss Tianxiang is not here to meet guests. If you really want to meet, please follow me to the backyard."
While speaking, the madam skillfully put away the energy stones on the table and then made a gesture of inviting her.
Following the madam, he entered the backyard. Seeing a beautiful woman playing the piano, the madam lowered her voice and said, "You two are waiting for a break. The girl doesn't like anyone to disturb her when playing the piano."
