Chapter 50 The Conspiracy of Wuhun Palace
Chapter 50 The Conspiracy of Wuhun Palace
"Oh? Anyone? What about me?" Leng Xiyao got out of the car with a tired face, looking at the captain with a bad expression. It was obvious that she was very unhappy about being woken up.
"You? Little girl, even if a Titled Douluo came today."
Seeing a little girl of only twelve years old coming down, the team leader's face was full of contempt, but when he saw clearly what the other party was holding in his hand, he couldn't say the rest of the sentence.
It was a card, about the same size as the gold card Ning Rongrong had shown before, but this card was purple in color and had a curled-up worm pattern on it.
Only two people in the Tiandou Empire own this card, one is Leng Xiyao, the mayor of Xingdou Town, and the other is the mayor's sister Qin Menglan.
With the joint efforts of major financial groups, Xingdou Town has formed a very complete membership system. The more senior the membership, the more privileges they can enjoy in Xingdou Town, a "lawless place" that nominally belongs to the empire but is actually a part of it. The first levels can be obtained with money, but the later levels require not only money but also a high enough status.
This card was jointly developed by the major chaebols in order to please her. A lot of rare metals were added to the card surface, and it was made by dozens of skilled craftsmen in turn. It can be said that no one can imitate this thing.
Even if the guards here followed some important figures, it is impossible for them not to understand the local "rules". It is precisely because they understand them that they are more deeply aware of the mistakes they have made.
"Huh? What's going on? The people of Tiandou are so powerful now that they dare to stop me from going home?" Leng Xiyao walked closer and looked up at the captain who was 1.9 meters tall. Although he was short, the majesty on his body made the other party breathless.
"I dare not, I dare not. It's my fault that I didn't recognize a great man." The team leader didn't dare to look directly at Leng Xiyao, who was more than a head shorter than him. Obviously, no matter how arrogant they acted, they didn't dare to provoke the person in front of them.
Then, he quickly bent down to make himself lower than Leng Xiyao, so as not to upset her because of his height.
"That's good to know. Don't forget who has the final say on this side of the border. Since the empire wants to reduce or even eliminate border spending, then don't forget who is the boss here." Leng Xiyao made a few threats lightly, then turned around and got into the car, not giving the so-called prince's personal guards any face at all.
"Let's go."
After hearing Leng Xiyao's instructions, the coachman was a little at a loss, but the team leader was very perceptive and quickly instructed his men to get out of the way. Soon, the convoy sped away.
Seeing the convoy disappear from sight, the timid expression on the team leader's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sneer and ridicule.
"Someone is coming."
Seeing the captain's instructions, a guard stepped forward quickly and pretended to listen attentively.
The captain put his arm around the guard's shoulder and led him to a deserted area. Then he leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"You, immediately set off to return to Wuhun City and tell Elder Leng that we have found the remnant who was exiled by their family six years ago but whose body was not found. He is the mayor of Xingdou Town. If they know this news, they will definitely give us a lot of rewards."
The guard was shocked for a moment, but soon figured out the whole story. He nodded, took a horse from the side, and headed towards Wuhun City.
After sending his confidant away, the team leader looked towards the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest with a slight smile on his face.
"It's really interesting. I didn't expect that the 'Emperor Hunting Operation', which doesn't have much to gain, could make a fortune in this way."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the little girl has quite a talent, what a pity"
"Something's wrong. Something's very wrong. Something big is going to happen." In the car, Leng Xiyao touched her chin and muttered to herself.
Originally, she thought that what happened just now was just a small episode, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that the meaning contained in this small episode was somewhat terrifying, so terrifying that it made her lose all sleepiness.
"What's wrong? Classmate Leng Xiyao?" Zhao Wuji, who was standing by, heard Leng Xiyao mumbling to herself and couldn't help but show a curious look.
Zhao Wuji didn't know how Leng Xiyao solved the problem just now, but he was not surprised at all. After all, the students of Shrek Academy now have more powerful backers than each other. Let alone solving such a small matter, it would not be surprising even if a little brother suddenly popped up and claimed that he was actually a prince.
Well, being a teacher to them is secondary in terms of ability. The most important thing is to have a heart that will not be easily frightened!
"It's nothing, it's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong." Realizing that she had said something wrong, Leng Xiyao hurriedly explained.
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay." Zhao Wuji looked unconvinced, but since Leng Xiyao didn't want to say, he had no reason to force her to answer.
When negotiating with the team leader, Leng Xiyao did not notice anything unusual, but after returning to the car, she subconsciously took a look and made an extraordinary discovery.
This group of guards wearing Tiandou armor are actually wearing the lining of the Spirit Hall underneath and are also wearing the badge of the Spirit Hall?
The information revealed in it really made her think about it terribly.
Especially since this group of people claimed to be the Royal Guards, could it be that Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the prince, was planning to make some big news in his own lair?
Or maybe... Xue Qinghe has not been disguised yet, and this time of hunting for soul rings is actually Qian Renxue's plan to assassinate Xue Qinghe?
Leng Xiyao shook her head and put these trivial things behind her. Even if she realized the conspiracy of the Spirit Hall, she could not do anything. After all, she was really too weak.
The most important thing is, if that group of people actually came from the Spirit Hall, then, could it be that someone among them has a connection with the Leng family and thus revealed his or her existence?
this is too scary.
Become stronger, you must become stronger as soon as possible!
As if they could see that Leng Xiyao was in a bad mood, the other people in the car were also very considerate and did not say anything. In such a silent atmosphere, the group soon arrived at Xingdou Town.
Although Xingdou Town is nominally a town, it is actually no less than an ordinary city. After so many years of rapid development, nearly 20,000 people have chosen to settle here, and the floating population here has never been less than 100,000.
The presence of people will promote economic development, and various businesses surrounding the Star Dou Great Forest have begun to flourish. The huge profits have made the major financial groups in the outside world gradually realize the value of this place. Unfortunately, with the saturation of the market, it is too late for others to intervene.
After helping everyone from Shrek find a place to settle down, Leng Xiyao found an excuse to take Qin Menglan back home. The recent series of emergencies caught her off guard, so she had to ask someone about it.
