Chapter 10 Nightmare and Reality(1/2)
Suddenly, so many people came to meet with Fang Xun. The secret agents of the East Factory who were monitoring Fang Xun were naturally shocked.
Because they naturally regarded Fang Xun as Bai Shier's accomplices, and the disciples of the Changbai Sword Sect who came under Zhang Sijin were naturally further divided into Bai Shier's accomplices.
Fortunately, they still knew in their hearts that Bai Shier could not tell these people about Zhu Jinxuan's true identity. Therefore, although they were a little panicked, they still calmed their minds in time and reported the arrival of Zhang Sijin and others to the upwards. They did not choose to arrest them directly in panic.
At this time, Zhang Sijin finally learned from Fang Xun the identities of the spies who were monitoring them outside.
"East Factory?"
The two words heard from Fang Xun's mouth undoubtedly made Zhang Sijin's good mood of reuniting with Fang Xun for a long time disappear without a trace.
"Didn't the senior brother say that this time he dealt with the Yanmen that day, his main force was the court's yamen. We just need to help. Why is the minions of the East Factory starting to monitor us now? Could it be that their East Factory wants to monopolize the credit for this time?"
Even Fang Xun could only roughly guess that the Dongchang monitored him because of the missing Bai Shier, but the specific situation was not clear at all.
Zhang Sijin, who had just arrived, was naturally even less likely to know the complex situation behind him. So, the most "conclusion that suits the current situation" immediately emerged in his heart, and his tone became worried and embarrassed.
The Changbai Sword Sect dared not compete for any credit with such a giant as the Dongchang, let alone any disputes.
Although they always like to belittle or even scold the minions of emperors such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei when bragging secretly, when they come to reality, they can still recognize the situation and their own weight.
"Young brother, you're out of your mind."
Fang Xun, who knew some of the situation, heard Zhang Sijin's worried tone and was a little amused and crying. He quickly waved his hand and explained.
"For dealing with Tianyan Sect, the six gates are the main body. Dongchang and Jinyiwei don't pay much attention to this matter. Not long ago, they sent the capable personnel to the south because of another case. You are too worried about it."
"Huh, so that's it."
After hearing Fang Xun's explanation, Zhang Sijin let out a long sigh and felt relieved.
"Why do the people from Dongchang monitor us? No, monitor you, Senior Brother Six?"
But immediately, Zhang Sijin asked in surprise again.
"This matter is a long story, so I'd better find another opportunity to share it with you in the future."
Fang Xun himself was not very clear about this question, so he naturally could not answer it, so he could only talk about it.
"Now I'd better take you to the Six Gate Office to meet Chief Hou Qing. If there is no accident in the future, I will obey the command of Chief Hou and Liushemen."
"Ah? Isn't that Chief Hou worried that I will share the credit for the six doors?"
Although he had already known that the situation was very good and had many allies before coming, Zhang Sijin did not expect that he could directly join the Six Gates and be directed by the other party's general captain. He originally thought that this time he could only do some work with Fang Xun.
After all, in his opinion, in order to convince the elders and heads of the sect, Fang Xun should have made some improvements in the situation.
"You don't have to worry about this."
Looking at Zhang Sijin who looked unbelievable, Fang Xun smiled, but his smile was a bit bitter and helpless.
"Our Changbai Sword Sect is not the famous sect in the martial arts world that can be known by the court and the emperor. So what did we do and how helpful it will be to this case. After the matter is over, don't you still have to see how the Liushumen report it?"
Zhang Sijin suddenly woke up.
Indeed, since the entire Changbai Sword Sect is already under the leadership of Liushemen, when they finally report it, it is not until they see how the general captain of Liushemen can share the credit.
After all, they are not Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, the imperial court office that can sit on the same level as the six gates and report directly to the upper court.
To put it bluntly, they are equivalent to a hunting dog in the hands of Six Doors.
For hunters, are they likely to worry about the final gains of the hunting dogs?
Zhang Sijin was silent.
But he was already over the age of knowing destiny and was no longer a teenager. He knew in his heart that for the Changbai Sword Sect, being able to be a dog under the Six Gate at this time was enough to make the entire sect grateful.
In this world, as long as you tell me, there are probably dozens of sects scrambling to replace their Changbai Sword Sect's position at this time.
"Let's go."
Looking at Zhang Sijin's expression, Fang Xun, who knew that he had figured it out, patted his back and said in a deep voice.
"We bow our heads today to make it possible for the younger disciples in our sect to hold their heads up in front of others in the next ten, twenty or even fifty years."
"Don't worry, Brother Six, I will control those disciples and let them understand this principle."
Zhang Sijin nodded heavily and understood the meaning behind Fang Xun's words.
"Um."
Fang Xun nodded solemnly.
"Follow me."
...
Hou Qing, the chief constable of Liushoumen, was naturally very satisfied with the sudden addition of nearly twenty second-rate masters and one first-rate master.
Just as Fang Xun and Zhang Sijin thought, for Hou Qing, Fang Xun and other masters from the Changbai Sword Sect were exactly what he wanted most.
One reason is that Fang Xun and others have good martial arts skills and come from the world. He doesn't need to worry too much about dealing with the Tianyan Sect, which is also a sect in the world.
Secondly, he didn't have to "scatter the enemy" if Fang Xun and others came from the world. Even if they were born in the world, no matter how much they made, they would still be counted on the Six Gates in the end. What he needed to pay was nothing more than the care for the Changbai Sword Sect in the future.
If he could bring up a note in the memorial when reporting, and let the name of the Changbai Sword Sect reach the sky, they would undoubtedly be grateful to him.
Therefore, after a few greetings with Fang Xun and Zhang Sijin, Hou Qing immediately expressed his willingness to let everyone in the Changbai Sword Sect participate in the case against the Tianyan Sect.
However, Hou Qing was not the one who waited for "I wanted the horse to run away, but I didn't give it to the horse to eat grass!"
After nodding, he immediately expressed that he would provide food and accommodation for Zhang Sijin and others, and was considerate of the hard work of Zhang Sijin and his group hiking from outside the pass. He also gave them two days to rest and regulate their bodies, which made Zhang Sijin, who had already made the worst plan, burst into tears of gratitude and said that he would absolutely obey Hou Qing's command.
...
"Brother Fang, has there been news about the White Flag Team recently?"
After ordering his subordinates to take Zhang Sijin and others to settle down, Hou Qing called Fang Xun and asked Fang Xun for news about Bai Shier with anticipation.
"Have you not seen Boy Bai recently?"
Hearing Hou Qing's inquiry, Fang Xun couldn't help but feel moved, but he deliberately showed a look of surprise and suspicion on his face. He asked in disbelief.
"Haha, I'm not hiding it from Brother Fang, I haven't seen the White Flag Team in nearly three months."
When Hou Qing heard Fang Xun call Bai Shier "Baby Boy", a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately pressed down and said with a wry smile on his face.
"Then Chief Hou asked the wrong person."
After hearing Hou Qing's answer, Fang Xun was stunned at first, and then a little dissatisfied answer flashed across his face, even the title of dialogue Bai Shier became distant.
"I have never seen him again since I parted with him nearly half a year ago."
"Is this really the case?"
Although he looked at Fang Xun's expression, Hou Qing still didn't dare to believe it completely.
"Speaking of this, I actually want to ask Chief Hou for advice. Do you know what trouble Boy Bai has caused? Why did he not dare to show up to meet me when he was in Yingtian City for half a year?"
Speaking of this, Fang Xun deliberately lowered his voice, and then continued to ask after confirming that there was no one else around him.
"But who has his father-in-law from the East Factory?"
"Where did Brother Fang get this idea?"
This time, Hou Qing's surprise finally appeared on his face. He looked at Fang Xun with great surprise. Obviously, he couldn't figure out how Fang Xun came to this conclusion.
"Since I arrived in Yingtian City, there have been eyeliners from Dongchang around me. Moreover, when I was in Shaoxing Prefecture, the people from Dongchang took action in time and rescued me from the death that Tianyan Sect must have killed."
After hearing this, Hou Qing finally understood.
He couldn't help but complain to the Dongchang.
He felt that the people from the East Factory were really useless. He could see through Fang Xun on his territory, and he had never noticed that he had been exposed.
With this kind of strength, it would be a fool to find Bai Shier's trace by surveillance Fang Xun.
Instead of being seen through and then arousing Fang Xun's suspicion, it is better to take advantage of the kindness of saving Fang Xun before to see if he can start from him and make him a secret chess. When Bai Shier goes to see him, he will report the news to the Dongchang.
Maybe the chance of success is not high, but it is much better than the current shocking and making Fang Xun start to be on guard.
"Just as Brother Fang said just now, you asked the wrong person for this question. The relationship between our Liushemen and the East Factory is not that close. We almost had a conflict with the eunuch Lu Zhongxing, the governor of the East Factory, because of the matter of dealing with Tianyanmen, the two almost went to a conflict with the eunuch Lu Zhongxing, the custodian of the East Factory. Brother Fang, you ask me this, I really don't know how to answer."
Hou Qing finally chose to pretend to be confused.
"Why did Chief Hou ask me about the news about Boy Bai?"
"Brother Fang asked this knowingly. The matters about Tianyan Sect were revealed to us by the Baiqi team. Now that he has disappeared for several months, I naturally worry that he will be implicated by this matter."
The two of them, who had no trust in each other, naturally chose to lie in the end.
However, even if they all met honestly and told all the news about Bai Shier they knew, it was obvious that they still did not have any help in finding Bai Shier.
Because no one of them could have guessed that Bai Shier had already left Yingtian City and had already arrived at Zhangzhou Prefecture, nearly a thousand miles away.
...
Zhangzhou Prefecture City.
Hu Xiaolin's mood was in an extremely complicated and even torn state at this time.
On the one hand, he was anxious inside.
He had been to Zhangzhou Prefecture City to wait for Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan for nearly half a month, but he still found nothing. In addition, Li Wujiu ignored him at all. After the agreed time came, he immediately went to wipe out the third team of Gaotianyuan and arrested Chen Wan'an, which may make the situation more complicated. How could he not be anxious and angry?
