Chapter 3498 The Hierarch's Secret Mission
Any smart person can get through with just a few clicks.
But Liu is obviously not.
Yang Ruoqing felt that her reminder was purely a joke, and Mrs. Liu's interest was obviously in the little twists on the plate on the table.
While she was talking, she ate half of the plate of small twists.
And she was still sitting there and continuing to eat, obviously not wanting to leave until she finished.
"Fourth Aunt, it seems that you like this little twist very much. You can take the rest back to eat. I have something else to do here, so I won't entertain you."
Yang Ruoqing no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with her and had to send her away quickly. She had other things to ask Xiaoyu.
After being sent away, Ms. Liu pouted and was unhappy.
But when she heard that Yang Ruoqing asked her to take away all the remaining twists, Ms. Liu suddenly became happy again.
"Okay, okay, then I won't keep you from talking about serious matters. I'll come over to visit you another day."
Mrs. Liu was afraid that Yang Ruoqing would change her mind, so she immediately stood up, opened her pocket, picked up the plate, and swept it all away.
After running into the yard, Mrs. Liu did not forget to turn around and shout to Yang Ruoqing in the main room: "Qing'er, what about that? I will go to town tomorrow and bring delicious food to Chen'er and his three siblings!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and thanked her. When Liu walked away, Yang Ruoqing looked back.
I found that Xiaoyu was still staring at the door of the house dumbfounded, as if she had not recovered.
"My fourth aunt is like this. She is a little country woman. She likes to take advantage of others all her life, cheat and cheat, but she is not a real evil person."
Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu explained with smiles.
Xiaoyu finally came back to her senses. She smiled sheepishly and said, "I was surprised because the fourth aunt's way of talking and acting before was a bit like my aunt."
"Although I was only over four years old at the time, my aunt had a profound influence on me. She was also such a person. My mother was often troubled by this."
Talking about the past events in her family, Xiaoyu showed a smile on her face.
"But the fire burned everything, my loving mother, my aunt who likes to take advantage..."
"If possible, I would rather they live well all the time. It doesn't hurt to just take advantage of it,"
"At least, everyone is living well, and they are all real, flesh-and-blood people..."
"Xiaoyu, let the past go by, don't think about it anymore." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Xiaoyu's words at the right time.
If she keeps thinking about it like this, she is afraid that she will get into trouble and suffer for a while.
Xiaoyu nodded, turned sideways and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When she turned around again, her face had returned to normal, "Sister Qing'er, let's get down to business. Regarding the Black Lotus Sect members who robbed tombs in the back mountains, I know how they hid them!"
"Shh!" Yang Ruoqing made a silent gesture towards Xiaoyu, stood up alertly, went to the door of the house and scanned around before returning to the main room.
"Go on, tell me everything you know." Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiaoyu organized her thoughts and said: "When I was still in the Black Lotus Sect, the leader, General Tiangong, was not dead yet."
"As a saint, although I am just a symbol or ornament they put on the altar,"
"But more or less, I can still come into contact with some of the core practices within the teaching,"
"Especially when General Tiangong trusted me for a while, I also contributed to the Black Lotus Sect and provided strategies, such as the siege of Licheng..."
"So, I know that the Black Lotus Sect once sent many followers, including men and women, old and young,"
"They disguise themselves as all kinds of people, businessmen, farmers, traveling doctors, teachers, many, many more,"
"Sometimes they lurk alone into a certain town or village,"
"Sometimes a few people form a gang and sneak into a certain village or town,"
"For mission needs, they sometimes pretend to be strangers to each other, but sometimes they can sneak in with the relationship of father and son, brother, sister, husband and wife."
"In short, once they lurk in, they will quickly integrate into the lives of the locals, just like the locals, working at sunrise and resting at sunset."
"Some even marry and have children locally, or marry and have children. No matter how the government investigates, it is impossible to connect them with the Black Lotus Sect."
"But in fact, they are undercover agents from the Black Lotus Sect, and they will be loyal to the Black Lotus Sect all their lives."
"As far as I know, such a force was sent to the Mianniu Mountain area."
"Moreover, they are the personnel personally appointed by the leader of the cult, General Tiangong. When those personnel are in the cult, they are the direct confidants of General Tiangong,"
"They were sent by the leader to lurk in the Mianniu Mountain area to carry out a special mission, and the mission cycle will be very long, ranging from three to five years."
"At that time, I only knew that there was such a thing, and I was still surprised that the leader of the church sent one of his close men away. Wouldn't that mean that the church would lose power?"
"But the leader said that if this force can complete the tasks he assigned, then revitalizing the Black Lotus Sect and even overthrowing the Daqi royal family will be just around the corner!"
"I was shocked at the time and even more curious about what that errand was. Now, I finally understand."
"It turns out that the leader of the cult sent his group of confidants out to rob the tomb!"
After listening to Xiaoyu's words, Yang Ruoqing fell silent, but her mind was running rapidly, putting everything together and considering it carefully...
Xiaoyu knew that Yang Ruoqing was thinking about the problem, so she kept silent.
After a while, Yang Ruoqing said: "We can see two points. First, the Black Lotus Sect's internal financial deficit is not as rich as we imagined."
"I want to raise troops to go north and officially declare war with Daqi. I don't have enough financial resources and insufficient food and grass. Therefore, I urgently need to broaden our financial channels, so I set my goal on tomb robbing."
"Secondly, there must be many large tombs in Mianniu Mountain, and they contain goods!"
When Yang Ruoqing mentioned that it was available, she leaned back lazily on the chair and narrowed her eyes slightly.
She thought of the legendary Moye sword that was buried in the tomb of the former queen.
The leader of the Black Lotus Sect would be willing to spend a lot of money to send out his confidants to rob tombs, which must be very valuable ancient tombs.
Looking at the collapse of the mountain, I wonder how the Black Lotus Sect's tomb robbers will gain?
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing suddenly sat up and asked Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, if the force sent by the leader really lurked as villagers in these eight villages and the small mountain villages in the mountains,"
"Do these people know about the death of the leader?" she asked.
Xiaoyu shook her head decisively: "I definitely don't know."
