Chapter 37 The news of Xuanwu(1/2)
"Master Wu Xing, Master Wu Xing, good news, great news!"
In Yuelai Inn, Kang Jinlong, who had been regarded as the new targets of the future by the originally opposed lower-level factions and upper-level factions, finally decided on the future interest distribution agreement and finally returned to peace, he continued to live in Yuelai Inn.
Three more days passed in a flash, and there was still no news from the upper level of the Arctic sky.
Just as Kang Jinlong was worried that Bai Shier would be dissatisfied with him because he had not received any news for a long time, and even doubted him, so he planned to find an opportunity to leave Yuelai Inn, associate with Bai Shier, and explain the situation to him, and ask Bai Shier to give him enough time. In the past few days, Cui Sike, who was more anxious than Kang Jinlong, the "party involved", suddenly rushed into his room in a hurry and shouted happily at Kang Jinlong.
If he hadn't been able to keep a little rational in his heart and knew that the small Yuelai Inn could not lower his volume too much, so he suppressed his voice while shouting, I'm afraid that at this moment, the street at the back door of Yuelai Inn and the guests in the main hall of the inn could hear his cheers.
"Master Wu Xing, the Lord is back."
Although he could only suppress his voice and cheer a few times, Cui Sike's excitement became much smoother because of these few cheers that had just been heard to report the good news to Kang Jinlong.
Knowing that his behavior just now was a bit too much, he couldn't help but feel a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes after seeing Kang Jinlong looking at his inquiring eyes with a blank expression. However, he immediately threw the embarrassment behind his head and told Kang Jinlong with joy that this happy event that made him lose his composure.
"Lord Xuanwu is back?"
When Kang Jinlong heard Cui Sike's answer, his expression changed instantly, and a trace of uncontrollable surprise passed in his eyes. He suddenly stood up from the chair, as if he couldn't believe it, and approached Cui Sike and asked in a low voice.
"Ahem, the villain only received the information sent by Wei Mao's men, but the authenticity of the news has not been proved yet."
Looking at Kang Jinlong, who was all in the shape of an ancient Jingfu, this time he made such a big reaction. Cui Sike was also a little startled in a hurry, but immediately, he felt relieved.
If he was in a somewhat awkward situation like Kang Jinlong, he would be afraid that the news of the Northern Heavenly Lord Xuanwu, who could decide his future destiny in one sentence, would be much greater than Kang Jinlong's reaction.
However, when Kang Jinlong asked, he couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment on his face again, his eyes dodged a little. After coughing twice, he exuded the real situation to Kang Jinlong intermittently.
"Gyeonggi-do has not resumed its connection with you yet?"
The joy on Kang Jinlong's face quickly calmed down and his tone quickly became cold. He calmly continued to ask Cui Sike.
"Ahem, never."
Cui Sike obviously understood the reason why Kang Jinlong asked him about the organization of the higher level of Gyeonggi Hall. The embarrassment on his face became even stronger. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but cough twice again, nodding while answering while nodding.
"Then where did you hear this news?"
The original joy on Kang Jinlong's face had become solemn.
"this,"
Looking at Kang Jinlong's solemn expression that seemed to be dripping from water, Cui Sike couldn't help but become nervous. After thinking hard for a long time, he replied slowly with thought.
"This news was sent by Wei Mao's people just now. However, with Wei Mao's relationship with the superiors, he could not get the news from above before me. Therefore, it should be the news from Di Ting. He has a wide range of friends and has a good relationship with many of the lower-level walking people on Di Ting."
"List carefully?"
Kang Jinlong, who heard this name for the first time, couldn't help but become interested in this organization that he had never heard of before. He had a premonition in his heart that his first contribution would be likely to be due to this Diting.
"What is the origin of this Diting in your mouth? It sounds like you are very familiar with this Diting. How did the people among them know about the news about the Lord Xuanwu?"
"Ahem, this is the negligence of the villain. Because he had not heard any news for a long time, he was a little anxious. He actually forgot to introduce the difference between the North Pole Heaven and the East Pole Heaven to Master Wu. Please forgive the negligence of the villain."
When Kang Jinlong was straightened up and asked Di Ting's origin, Cui Sike couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed again, and he spoke to Kang Jinlong.
"All of the four poles of heavens under the Tianyan Sect, what else can the North Poles of Heaven be different from the name of the East Poles of Heaven?"
It is naturally impossible for Kang Jinlong to really blame Cui Sike for this, but he was very curious about what Cui Sike said about "the difference between the North Pole and the East Pole".
"Ha, Master Wu is right. There is indeed no big difference between the North Pole Heaven and the East Pole Heaven, but what is different from the East and South Pole Heaven is that our North Pole Heaven has an additional gang established by the Lord and its status is also on par with the North Pole Heaven."
Cui Sike naturally would not be able to keep in front of Kang Jinlong. After chuckling, he opened his mouth to explain the origin of his listening to Kang Jinlong.
"Is this what I listen?"
“Yes.”
Cui Sike nodded.
"At the beginning, Diting was actually just a division hall, but the personnel in it were only responsible to the Lord, and no one else allowed to contact him. For example, we, the little fish and shrimps who were humble and said nothing, didn't even know that Diting's division hall existed at the beginning."
When Cui Sike said this, his face couldn't help but show a little inferiority, but indignation and reluctance flashed one after another in his eyes. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with his current status.
Although the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes flashed by, Kang Jinlong, who had been concentrating, still noticed it keenly, and then he couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart.
For him, those who are ambitious and talented are often the ones who are best controlled by the group of people. As long as he grasps Cui Sike, his next path of lurking should be much smoother.
"However, later, as the Lord paid more attention to Di Ting and continued support for Di Ting's various personnel and money, the scale of Di Ting's division hall became increasingly large, and finally it was completely divided from the Arctic Heaven. After the rapid development in recent years, it is now on par with the Arctic balance."
Speaking of this, a little envy and jealousy appeared on Cui Sike's face.
"Since Di Ting is also a subordinate of the Lord Xuanwu, why dare to do such a thing that reveals such a major secret?"
Unlike Cui Sike, who was envious and jealous, Kang Jinlong saw something wrong.
"this..."
Cui Sike was a little stunned when he heard Kang Jinlong's question. Obviously, he didn't know how to answer.
After all, even if Xuanwu really returned to the city from his previous "missing" state and was ready to continue to control the North Pole Tian and Di Ting, this kind of news should not be spread so easily, and to the ears of the lowest and most ordinary disciples, the Master Xiang. Instead, he had to wait until the situation was completely stabilized, and then from the previous level, such as the Gyeonggi-door above Cui Sike's head, secretly revealed this news.
"I'm afraid, this news was deliberately released by Lord Xuanwu for testing."
Looking at Cui Sike who was in deep thought, Kang Jinlong expressed his guess.
"Test?"
Cui Sike couldn't help but frown.
"Test whom? Are the hawks and dogs of the court and the emperor's minions?"
"Ha, besides them, I'm afraid that you will also be the ones you are trying to do."
Kang Jinlong looked at Cui Sike, with a playful smile on his face, and threw a bomb quietly.
"us?!"
Cui Sike was indeed moved by his heart. He couldn't help but look up at Kang Jinlong, and exclaimed in an octave-high voice.
"Lord, Lord, Lord, why does he want to test me, we, what is the value we have, and what is worth, and what is the test of the Lord."
Then, he lowered his voice again, his expression tense, and asked intermittently.
"Hey, there are only you and me here. Since you have thought of it, why should you continue to hide it in front of me?"
But Cui Sike's somewhat crappy performance was immediately discovered by Kang Jinlong.
"hehe."
Cui Sike, whose acting skills were exposed by Kang Jinlong, could only laugh twice with embarrassment, and then knelt down on the ground with a "thump" look, begging Kang Jinlong with a sincere look.
"Master Wu Xing, this time, please give me advice and help the villain overcome this difficult situation safely!"
"Get up quickly."
Kang Jinlong pulled him up and responded to him with a serious look on his face.
"If I can be taken in by the Lord Xuanwu this time, my credit, Wu Jian, will never forget you. How could I watch you be implicated?"
"Thank you, Master Wu..."
Kang Jinlong's words were not very beautiful, but the sincerity contained in them made Cui Sike extremely moved and excited. However, before he could finish his words of thanks, Kang Jinlong interrupted him and continued to say half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Besides, if you are really implicated, implicated and lost your life this time, what should I do? What should I do with the plan I made with you? I want to really join the Arctic Heaven, but I have to rely on your help. So, we are just using each other, why do you thank me?"
"Haha, Master Wu is indeed a person who is instantly accused."
Cui Sike, who heard Kang Jinlong describe his relationship with each other in this way, was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing loudly, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or embarrassment on his face.
"I hope the villain and Master Wu can continue to use each other forever in the future."
"Hahaha, this Master Cui Xiang can rest assured that as long as I, Wu Jian, officially join the North Pole Heaven, as long as I, Wu Jian, are in the North Pole Heaven, we can use each other for a day."
Kang Jinlong also laughed and continued to say in a half-joking and half-serious tone.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After hearing Kang Jinlong's words, Cui Sike looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
After the laughter continued for several breaths, the two of them put away their laughter and their expressions finally became completely serious.
"Okay, let's stop here when you tease me. Next, let's talk about how to solve this problem this time."
"Please tell me, Lord Wu Xing."
"How many days did Lord Xuanwu disappear this time?"
Kang Jinlong did not answer, but asked Cui Sike first.
"If we count today, it should have been thirty-two days."
Although he didn't understand why Kang Jinlong asked about this, Cui Sike still closed his eyes and thought about it, and gave a very accurate number.
"Then in the past thirty-two days, which incense halls have been wiped out by the imperial officials. They are all in which market and street in the city, and some of them have escaped. Are you familiar with those arrested? Are you clear about these questions?"
He nodded, signaled that he had already recorded the Kang Jinlong afterwards, and asked again.
"this..."
This time, Cui Sike couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"There are too many people, and it is afraid that it will be difficult for a villain to give an accurate answer for a while."
After pondering for a moment and finding that he could not answer this question, Cui Sike couldn't help but ask Kang Jinlong carefully about the purpose of understanding the news.
