Chapter 455: An Autumn Conspiracy
Unlike open military killing or party struggles in the officialdom, the battle between major forces is even less likely to be bloody.
It is not easy to see blood, but that these thick blood stains are often not exposed to the open surface and are wiped away as soon as they seep out in the darkness.
As an intelligence network created by Wanyan Fuchan, a master of the Shadow River, the Anbu has been expanding in recent years with the development of the Dawen City-State. Whether it is spying on intelligence, assassination, surveillance, and infiltration, it has reached a certain level.
On the fourth day after Yao Ruoyu issued the order, Heli sent a piece of animal skin to his desk.
This is an animal skin that is obviously of a certain age. After Yao Ruoyu unfolded it, he now drew a map on it. Looking at the marks on it, he could guess that this was a treasure map.
Just as Yao Ruoyu was looking at the map, He Li said lightly: "Report to the prince, according to his subordinates, the place marked on this map should be in Kunlun Mountain."
"Kunlun Mountain?" Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows and put down his animal skin and looked at He Li. He could sense that He Li's qi and blood were a little damaged, as if he was injured, and immediately frowned, "Are you injured?"
Heli lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Small injury is not a problem."
Yao Ruoyu's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "What's the loss this time?"
After a silence, He Li whispered: "The loss of thirty-nine shadow disciples, fifteen shadow servants, four shadow guards, and two shadow generals are seriously injured. You can recover after a month of rest."
Yao Ruoyu narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
The members trained by the Dark Tribe are collectively called Shadows, and several levels are subdivided into the inner part, with the lowest being Shadow disciples, and then upwards are Shadow Guards, Shadow Generals, and Shadow Masters.
Wanyan Fuchan is the shadow master, He Li is the deputy shadow master, and the shadow general is the branch head in charge of a state at the first level. The shadow guard and the shadow servant are also elites at the leader level.
Just seizing a map, he actually lost so many people. While Yao Ruoyu felt sorry for him, he was even more shocked and angry. The Youth League Committee of the Western Liao envoy really didn't know that the big and small kings dared to kill so many of them on his territory.
As if he felt Yao Ruoyu's anger, He Li said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be angry. We are all from poor people. If it weren't for the prince and the princess, we would still be struggling in the slums. Since we were willing to join back then, we would have hung our heads on our waists and prepared to die in battle."
"Even if you die, you should die on the battlefield of confronting the enemy country, but you will lose it in my Dawen territory." Yao Ruoyu's face turned pale, his chest was slightly ups and downs. After a long time, his eyes sharpened and he said calmly, "Help me go south and let the Beast God Army arrest all the Western Liao delegation first, and let Wang Li go there, so as not to be unexpected."
He Li wanted to say something again when he heard this, but Yao Ruoyu stopped him with his eyes and immediately lowered to the ground and said solemnly: "We are willing to die for the prince and the princess!" After saying that, he quickly withdrew from the palace.
Seeing He Li retreat, Yao Ruoyu's eyes showed a little bitterness. He used to hate this method of winning people's hearts the most, but unfortunately he had to do it now.
After picking up the animal skin again, Yao Ruoyu looked at the map recorded above silently with a serious look.
The Western Liao mission was so bold that it could kill dozens of people from the Ancient Tribe in Wenbang. The weight of this map was imagined. Yelu Caifeng, a princess, definitely did not have such courage. She could only make her a princess alone and the identity of the person behind the scenes was also obvious.
The Empress of Western Liao! The only one who can make these arrangements is that the Empress of Western Liao who is famous in China will not think about him.
Remember the content of the map in my mind. Yao Ruoyu put away the map. The Hundred Schools of Learning is about to come. He has no time to care about the content on this map, so he will wait until he is free before considering these things.
*—*—*—*—*
At night.
Knowing that Fu Feng would still live in the military camp in a routine manner tonight, Lin Qiuer asked Fu Feng about his current situation with a smile. After sending Fu Feng's personal guard away, she stood up and returned to the bedroom.
As one of the four beautiful stars of the Great Gold, Lin Qiuer undoubtedly received all the favor of Fu Feng.
Before getting married, Fu Feng built this villa specially for her, planted many peach trees according to her preferences, and dug a canal to divert water, and built a small lake in the villa. The attic on the lakeside was also built in the boudoir of the Lin Mansion in accordance with her requirements.
When she walked to the gate of the other courtyard, Lin Qiuer took the lantern and signaled her maid to go back to rest. Then she pushed the door and went in. At first glance, she saw Bai Qiuyu sitting on the lakeside.
After slowly approaching Bai Qiuyu, Lin Qiuer gave a little blessing and said softly: "Why is the adult here in person today?"
Even though I have seen Lin Qiuer many times, every time I see him, Bai Qiuyu's eyes still inevitably have a little surprise. He stretched out his hand to signal the other person to sit in his arms and stroke the beauty's round shoulders. Bai Qiuyu smiled calmly: "I have nothing to do, I want to see you."
Lin Qiuer smiled slightly, leaned her head against the other person's chest, just covering her disgusting gaze, allowing the other person's hand to wander on her delicate body, and smiled and said, "I heard that there is a hundred-store forum in Yuzhou recently, which is quite lively. He wants to take me there."
His palm stopped at her "qiaotun", and Bai Qiuyu sneered: "A martial artist, why are you going to the place where various schools of thought debate? Besides, the Yanhu Army shoulders the heavy responsibility, and King Wen will not let him travel at will."
Giving Lin Qiuer to Fu Feng was originally a means for Bai Qiuyu to make friends with Fu Feng. In the past six months, relying on this relationship, coupled with the wind on Lin Qiuer's secret pillow, has indeed made Fu Feng and Bai Qiuyu's relationship very close. Occasionally, the two of them would go out with their wife for a walk.
The two of them were warm for a while, and Bai Qiuyu smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will ask my wife to bring some gifts to visit. When he comes back, tell him about this, what is his attitude towards me recently?"
Yanran smiled and Lin Qiuer said softly: "Of course it's excellent. The adult gave me to him. Isn't he grateful to the adults? He has long been attracted to his close friend."
Bai Qiuyu grinned slightly at the corner of her lips and chuckled, "My confidant? Will I even refuse the matter of me wanting to interfere in the logistics supply of the Yanhu Army?"
Lin Qiuer didn't know these things and didn't talk much, so she could only smile like a vase.
Feeling the softness and delicateness of the delicate body in his arms, Bai Qiuyu felt a heat in her abdomen. If he hadn't known the importance of it, he would have wanted to pull Lin Qiuer to the attic to taste the deliciousness of this body.
He told the other party about what he needed to do one by one. Bai Qiuyu asked the other party to repeat it again. After confirming that Lin Qiuer had recorded it, he got up and left quietly.
Bai Qiuyu used to be just an ordinary person who didn't like practicing, but since Bai Junru retired, he suddenly began to practice.
Bai Qiuyu was already twenty-six years old at that time and missed the golden time of cultivation. He did not have the successive adventures brought by the halo of the protagonists such as Yao Ruoyu.
Therefore, in the end, he did not choose the same traditional spiritual master route as his father Bai Junru, but chose the same lucky master route as most of the civil servants of the Song Dynasty, and practiced with the national power of the great literary world.
The first worshippers to join Wenbang, such as Chen Tingchao and Hu Bilan, were both lucky men. In recent years, they not only stabilized the decline of their country's declining power, but also rose continuously. Now both of them have entered the advanced level of the fifth realm.
Bai Qiuyu is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, with a high position and a powerful position. She can be said to be one of the most remarkable people below Yao Ruoyu. Therefore, practicing with the method of a lucky man is really a progressive god. In just over half a year, he has broken through to the middle level of the fourth realm.
It is precisely because of his cultivation that he can come and go freely even in the highly vigilant general's mansion.
Seeing Bai Qiuyu leave, the contempt and disdain in Lin Qiuer's eyes slowly emerged, but then these expressions were quietly covered up by sadness.
Lin Qiuer was feeling sad, and a chuckle suddenly came from behind her. She turned her head and looked at her in frightened state. When she saw that it was Xu Qiuling, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly saluted: "I have seen the sir."
"Miss Lin, don't be polite, sit down, Xu will leave after he finishes his talk."
Compared to Bai Qiuyu, who was eager but barely able to control her, Xu Qiuling showed a gentlemanly style. Not only did he not touch Lin Qiuer, he did not even look greedy on his face.
But the more this happens, Lin Qiuer is more afraid and afraid of this ordinary-looking young man.
It was the gentleman in front of him who was as elegant as a gentleman who pulled her and her grandfather, who had just escaped from the shadow of Wanyan Qiongyu, into a new shadow.
Although his power is far inferior to Wanyan Qiongyu, his scheming is a hundred times better than Wanyan Qiongyu. He took his grandfather, who had been dependent on each other for many years, and forced himself to go to the auction for public sale regardless of his face. Later, he was forced to commit himself to a short-sized warrior, and had to continue to endure Bai Qiuyu's lewd attack.
Xu Qiuling obviously knew the other party’s disgust and fear of him, and he didn’t care. He smiled and said, “I came here this time because I hope that the girl can convince General Fu to buy a large amount of rouge launched by my Yuzhou Trading Company.”
After making many arrangements, it was just to promote the rouge of his business. Xu Qiuling's move was really strange, but Lin Qiuer was not surprised. In the past six months, the other party asked him to do several times, which was just to ask Fu Feng to purchase various daily necessities newly launched by Yuzhou Business.
Seeing Lin Qiuer's respectful fear, Xu Qiuling smiled without saying a word.
How could the woman who was just a vase know his plan? A woman would be interested in military weapons. It is unreasonable to reason. The rash push could only make Fu Feng doubt Lin Qiuer.
So the best way is to let Fu Feng frequently contact the daily necessities of Yuzhou Commercial Bank, and then make yourself and the other party get in touch, and then sell your own weapons when the time is right.
If Xu Qiuling wants to seize the power of Yuzhou Commercial Bank, it would be impossible for Xu Qiuling to be just an ordinary businessman. Even if his business is prosperous in Shu, he would be just a businessman to the Xu family.
But if you become a guest of honor for the general of the Literary and Art Army, it would be different. At that time, you can truly rely on the giant Literary and Art Army, which is a giant, to intimidate the Xu family and seize power.
