Chapter five hundred and twenty eight: wait
Xiao Qianye carefully closed the room door. After confirming that there were no one else around, he gently rubbed his eyebrows and spoke to the person who had not spoken for a long time: "Are you awake?"
Di Zhong just responded lightly and didn't say much. Xiao Qianye silently felt the consciousness of coexistence and suddenly asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Di Zhong was slightly shocked. He was already very restrained in his emotions and could he still notice it?
"It's because..." He glanced at the door, wanted to speak but stopped, and was silent for a moment. After all, Di Zhong didn't want to say much and said in a low voice: "It's nothing."
There was an awkward silence between the two. He subconsciously turned back at the closed door. Since Yun Xiao woke up, Di Zhong had never said a word to him. He could not tell whether this person had just woken up or was silent. He kept silent for a few minutes. After all, Di Zhong couldn't help but curse: "Be careful about the troubles in front of you first, and don't think about it here and you're asking for trouble."
He pressed down the brim of his hat. Although he was wearing Yun Xiao's clothes, he carefully put on a cloak to cover his body as much as possible. He went down the stairs on the third floor. Almost all rooms were closed with doors and windows, but the rich fragrance of medicine was wandering out of the gap, making the air in the entire Xiyue Tea House full of temptation. Xiao Qianye could only secretly resist the lingering smoke surrounding him from above the divine power of heaven, pretending to walk to a corner of the lobby, carefully distinguishing everyone entering and leaving.
There are not many guests in the tea shop. Because the perfume is expensive, the rich disciples sat around and sucked the hookah of their deskmates together. There were not many people talking and chatting, immersing themselves in their dreams of fantasy.
"It seems that it has not been spread too seriously." Di Zhong looked at the addict in the lobby through his eyes. He didn't know whether it was regret or disdain, and sighed, "In the natural disaster, it's okay if you don't pay or work, but you are still addicted to poisonous things and lose your ambitions. You high-level nobles should rectify them."
"That's Mingxi's business." Xiao Qianye replied casually, and heard a chuckle in his ear, "That's right, since he is sitting in that position, he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of reform."
Xiao Qianye did not reply, and he really couldn't raise any interest in these complex political mediations. Di Zhong thought for a while, and for some reason a strange thought flashed across him and couldn't help asking: "I gave you such strength, but why are you willing to be just one minister?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Qianye raised his eyes in confusion. Obviously, such questions were beyond his expectations, and it made him think seriously for a while before answering, "Because of trouble."
"Hehe..." Di Zhong laughed and hesitated for a moment. This answer was in line with his personality, but it made him helpless. "But wouldn't it be even more troublesome for you to be used by him to threaten?"
"With that being said, I don't want him to die so soon." Xiao Qianye's eyes were thoughtful and he chuckled. Di Zhong felt this wonderful dissonance, puzzled, "Why?"
"Because of trouble." He still had the simple four words, and it seemed that he could not find any other reason, but his face became a little bit serious. "Feiyuan's aristocratic system has been for thousands of years. There must be a sufficiently excellent ruler to rectify it from within, otherwise there will be no change in this country. Although he is not a kind person, I know that he can change Feiyuan and the position of emperor, and indecisiveness cannot be done. Only those who can be cruel to anything like him can do it."
"Oh? You are finally willing to admit that you are an indecisive person?" Di Zhong was a little surprised by his words, but heard him snorting coldly and replied tit-for-tat, "That's also you, it's inherited by that ancient species."
"Hey..." Hey..." He was speechless for a moment, and Di Zhong could only smile awkwardly.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The Dragon Clan had a very difficult hidden technique. Even the awakened Di Zhong could not detect this unique aura. He could only remind him to keep his mind clear and not be affected by the excessively rich smoke.
After it turned dark, the streets outside suddenly turned off a lot of lights because they were temporary tents built on both sides of the road. The rain immediately made the refugees who lived there temporarily become embarrassed. They could only try to put away their clothes quickly, while the pots and pans could only be spread outside to the rain. The hasty crowd caused the wet soil under their feet, but after a while the whole road became extremely dirty. The crying of children and the sighs of the old man came one after another, as if it was a scene of lifelessness after a major disaster.
Xiao Qianye silently held the sword spirit at his waist and kept turning the hilt of the sword habitually. The faster he turned, the deeper the irritability in his heart. Now he has no way out. Why did he still have such irresistible regret and self-blame on the eve of the decisive battle?
"Tsk... I'm so annoying." Di Zhong cursed in his ear. It was obvious that the coexistence thinking was influenced by him, which made him extremely unhappy. With his arm, Di Zhong picked up the tea in front of him and handed it to his lips, and sneered, "Why do you come to some gentleness to relieve your boredom?"
"No." Xiao Qianye refused, and put down the teacup again. He heard a "hum" sound in his ear. Di Zhong whispered, "From my understanding of Xi Hui, if you rejected him at that time, he would have reopened the Blood Tu Formation long ago. By that time, he would only die more. However, the first battle was Dongming. Although it was to get Gu Chen back, the price was indeed higher. If it was Yudu or Gala, the loss would be much smaller. But this is all a matter of later. It would be useless for you to regret it now. It would be better to save some thoughts and see how to solve the drug proliferation in the city."
Xiao Qianye nodded, remembering what he heard from Miss Gu, and said with a frown: "Shan Haiji is not only doing Feiyuan's business, because it is not a black market unique to Feiyuan, Jingge can't actually manage it, so it can only manage its mountain and Haiji. Speaking of which Shan Haiji do you know how much do you know about that Shan Haiji?"
"I haven't heard it." Di Zhong replied without thinking. Sure enough, he felt that his heart was stuttering and felt disappointed. He cursed with amusement, "I don't know what it is. It's been more than nine thousand years since I died unexpectedly. If I can have an impression of the black market, they will have to operate it for at least ten thousand years. Think about it carefully. If this is true, it is an enemy you can't deal with. You should be glad that I haven't heard of it. Although the heavenly world ruled Liudao, the commercial market actually did not interfere with the internal affairs of the island. However, I am a little interested in this black market that can do business between Liudao."
"Oh?" Xiao Qianye suddenly became interested. Emperor Zhong reminded thoughtfully, "The distance between Liu Island and Liu Island is far away and there are very few contacts with each other. Although most of them are in fixed positions and will not move until the breaking of the life span, there are still a very small number of special Liu Islands that have their own fixed trajectories, and even more special ones, not only will they move, but also the trajectory is erratic and erratic. The nameless island we accidentally fell into before, including Ukiyo-se Island, is all like this. So to do business on different Liu Islands, at least you have to have a way to know those fixed locations and find ways to reach them. This is not simple, not something that ordinary people can do."
Xiao Qianye thought about it after thinking about it. It was because of his unique light transformation technique that he could quickly travel around the world, and most of the ferocious beasts and Lingrui could fly into the air to protect the wind. However, if an ordinary human is an ordinary person, it is indeed a difficult problem to transfer from a height of tens of thousands of feet.
Di Zhong sighed, feeling a little moved, and suddenly said: "Some people can do it. For example, the 'Aying' you met in the underground palace. The rootless person can drift, but they don't have their own hometown. Generally, they will take root wherever they float. There are also some close-range Liu Islands. They have developed a mechanical bird that can also fly for a distance. Either like you, choose to tame birds or learn sword-controlling techniques, but no matter which one, there will be strict restrictions on distance. If Shan Haiji can do business on multiple Liu Islands, the owner behind it will not be simple."
Xiao Qianye's scalp numb and he asked instinctively: "It's not your people who are doing it again, right?"
Di Zhong smiled helplessly and did not refute it at once. After all, his fellow practitioners often left the heaven and traveled everywhere, and maybe everyone left some strange things everywhere, just like when he sent seven people to become the god guards of the Qiyuan Seven Forbidden Lands.
"What do you think about 'soul selling'?"
"It's hard to guess." Di Zhong murmured, "Similar forbidden techniques are everywhere, and the power of soul is vast and endless. Some people use it to prolong life, and some rely on them to improve their practice. What does Xuhai need to do? Only people can ask clearly if they can find someone."
While the two were talking, the young man who was receiving them hurried over from the other side. Xiao Qianye quickly sat upright and pressed down the hat. The young man obviously recognized this outfit, and mistakenly recognized him as Mr. Mu's informant. He quickly showed a flattering laugh and said with a hurry: "Miss Gu, the person you are waiting for has arrived. I will take you there."
Xiao Qianye nodded and carefully hid the sword spirit at his waist. They walked through the backyard of Xiyue Tea House and arrived at the wing room for reception of distinguished guests. The rain not only contained the intoxicating smell of the gentle place, but also the smell of sea water on the dragon clan, which made him not dare to distract him for a second. After the young man opened the door, he held his hands and smiled at him, his eyes full of anticipation. Xiao Qianye thought for a while, and quickly took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and put them on. The young man bowed to him with satisfaction and ran away.
