Chapter 427 Lone Whale Knife
Lone Whale Blade, Wan Chunhua!

Chu Qing wrote down the name, then looked at Yi Hai:

"Where is he in Wanbao Tower?"

"Third floor...Yibao Bureau, according to Wanbaolou's investigation, this person came to Wanbaolou for something, maybe he wanted to save his life."

"Is it the Tianfo Temple that is hunting him down?"

“It’s not just the Tianfo Temple.”

Yi Hai said:

"In fact, he entered Tianfo Temple by mistake just to save his life."

"Who did he offend?"

Chu Qing asked again.

Yi Hai stretched out a finger:

"This news, one thousand taels."

Chu Qing was speechless:

"It's worthy of being called Wanbaolou."

After saying this, he took out two silver notes worth five hundred taels and placed them on the table.

"Please understand, my dear guest, the news about Wanbao Tower was not spread by wind. It required countless manpower to collect it, and the cost was very high."

After Yi Hai said this, he picked up the banknote and checked it as usual, then opened the scroll and said:

"The person he offended was the daughter of Emperor Xuan Shang Qiuyu...

"Shepherd boy."

Chu Qing was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to hear the shepherd boy's name in this place and at this moment.

He tapped his finger lightly on the desktop:
"How did he offend the shepherd boy?"

Yi Hai reads from the script:

“The Lone Whale Blade comes from the Northern Territory.

“The northern region is vast and desolate, with bandits and horse thieves rampant and the people deeply troubled.

“If they can’t stand it anymore, they will gather everyone in the village, collect the bounty, and ask the rangers for protection.

“Wan Chunhua is such a ranger.

“Since he received the bounty, he naturally had to protect the villagers, but he also offended a group of well-known horse thieves in the Northern Territory.

"They call themselves the '31 Heroes of Feiliu', but in reality they are 31 thieves who have committed all kinds of evil.

"This gang has a large number of people under their command. Wan Chunhua killed one of their people, so naturally he was retaliated by them."

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:

"So, Wan Chunhua was driven out of the Northern Territory by them?"

"No."

Yi Hai shook his head:

"Wan Chunhua fought with his sword across a thousand miles of land and killed all 31 heroes of Feiliu.

“Thirty-one human heads were placed in a tower to commemorate the innocent souls who died at their hands.

"It was also because of this battle that he got the name of Lone Whale Blade.

"A lone whale fights in the sea of ​​sand, how can a group of sharks be its enemy?"

Chu Qing clapped his hands lightly:

"What a good man! But why would such a man kill a maid? And how did he leave the Northern Territory?"

“Wan Chunhua became famous in one battle and was highly praised by all forces in the Northern Territory.

"Today we invite him to drink here, and tomorrow we invite him to a banquet there.

"Although he often refused, he couldn't refuse anyone's face... As a result, when he was drunk, he slept with the concubine of Bai Yitian, the owner of Dafeng Tower in the Northern Territory.

"The owner of Dafeng Tower was furious, although he initially decided to give his concubine to Wan Chunhua to help them get married.

"But after Wan Chunhua refused, he could no longer suppress his anger and fought with Wan Chunhua, and Wan Chunhua finally escaped from Dafeng Tower.

“But this incident spread throughout the Northern Territory overnight.

"The owner of Dafeng Tower scolded him for being blinded by lust and not worthy of being a human being, and he wanted to fight him to the death.

"We have even united various factions in the Northern Territory to hunt down Wan Chunhua.

“But after that… no one knew where Wan Chunhua went.

"Until he killed the shepherd boy's maid.

“However, it had been several months since his last appearance.

"It is said that Wan Chunhua was not in good condition at the time. He looked pale and had many wounds on his body. It is unknown who did it.

"After he killed the maid, his identity as a shepherd boy was exposed.

"Knowing that he had caused a great disaster, he fled all the way... and finally accidentally broke into Tianfo Temple."

Listening to Yi Hai telling the story of Wan Chunhua, Chu Qing couldn't help but look at Wan Bao Tower with a higher regard.

You know, Wan Chunhua has become a frightened bird after several troubles.

After he came out of Tianfo Temple, he would never just find someone and tell them that he had broken into Tianfo Temple...

Where did Wanbaolou get the information from?

Judging from the situation...it seems that Wan Chunhua told them personally.

This is not necessarily impossible.

Wan Chunhua was able to come to Wanbao Tower either by chance or because he received an invitation from Wanbao Tower.

The fact that he was able to receive the invitation from Wanbaolou meant that Wanbaolou had someone meet with him before opening the building.

Naturally, you have to have a deep understanding of this person's situation.

But no matter what the situation is, Chu Qing wants an intelligence organization of his own more urgently.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Chu Qing tapped the table again.

Wan Chunhua wants to come to Wanbao Tower and find an expert to protect himself through the Yibao Bureau.

Chu Qing thought that this point should coincide with the idea of ​​not being a monk.

But how did people get into such a big disaster?
One offended the son of the Sword Emperor, and the other offended the daughter of the Xuan Emperor?

If the two of them don't get together and become sworn brothers, they would be betraying this fate.

"Does the honorable guest have any questions?"

Just as Chu Qing was pondering in his heart, Yi Hai spoke again.

Chu Qing looked up at her and suddenly asked:

"No doubt... I want to buy something else from you."

"it is good."

Yi Hai nodded:

"I wonder what you need?"

Intelligence is just one of the commodities sold by Wanbaolou. According to the rules of Wanbaolou, everything in the world can be sold.

Chu Qing certainly remembered this, so he said:
"I want to buy a secret book, the kind that involves the seven emotions and six desires."

"Please wait a moment."

After Yi Hai finished speaking, he wrote down Chu Qing's request on a piece of paper, pulled the mechanism, and sent it into the wall.

A moment later, a new scroll appeared in Yi Hai's hand.

After she opened it and took a look, she placed it in front of Chu Qing:
"Here is the list and the price list, please take a look."

Chu Qing just took a look and was stunned.

The scroll was densely packed with names of various secret books, such as [Seven Emotions and Seven Desires, Everlasting Sorrow], [Nine Reincarnations of the Flower Dharma], [Six Desires Heart Sutra] and so on. There were too many to count. Chu Qing even saw [Eternal Love] on the list.

However, the price tag behind it made Chu Qing speechless.

One hundred thousand taels of gold, eighty thousand taels of gold, it seems like it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Chu Qing considered himself to be wealthy, but not to this extent.

He glanced at Yi Hai:
“Is this price correct?”

“Reference price.”

Yi Hai said:

“You can bargain, but… not too much.

“Except for a few copies of the list in your hand that have been collected in Wanbao Tower, the whereabouts of the rest are only known but have not yet been obtained.

"It takes a lot of manpower and resources to get those secret books, so it's reasonable that they're a bit expensive."

Chu Qing was inexplicably convinced by her and felt that what she said made sense.

But the price is too high, I can't afford it...

He thought for a moment and said:
"Can I buy the Bu Yi Tian Shu?"

"can."

Yi Hai nodded and looked at Chu Qing again:
“Now the Human Scroll and the Heaven Scroll of the Unchangeable Heavenly Book are both in Taiyi Sect, so these two are easy to deal with.

"But the Earth Scroll is in the Tianfo Temple. "Your Excellency must have come here for this... If I were to ask Wanbaolou to buy it, I'm afraid it would cost at least 100,000 taels of gold."

"You are asking for too much."

Chu Qing smiled with an expression but no smile on his face.

Yi Hai smiled embarrassedly:
"Rare goods are in short supply, so the price may have to go up."

The saying "no business is without fraud" was perfectly interpreted by this girl named Yi Hai.

And the meaning of her words was very clear.

Chu Qing has already found the clue to Tianfo Temple. If he succeeds, there is nothing more to say.

If he fails, he will have to look for Wanbaolou.

By then, the goods will be rare and valuable, and they can raise the price. Chu Qing will have to accept it whether he accepts it or not, unless he breaks off relations with Wanbaolou and goes to war directly.

He nodded slightly and pushed the scroll back:

"I want to buy another piece of information from you. Who are the Twelve Holy Kings of the Tianxie Cult?"

"At present, this information is incomplete, but as for the information related to the Tianxie Cult, Wanbaolou can give it to you."

Yi Hai said:

"So far, we know of the Tomb Prince, the Evil Prince, the Buddha Prince, the Drama Prince, the Martial Prince, the Good Prince, the Dream Prince, the Chess Prince, and the Prince of Laughter, the Plum Prince, and the Blood Prince who died at the hands of the distinguished guest.

“There is another prince who has never appeared and whose origin is unknown.

“As I said before, among the twelve holy kings, the first three did not take this prince who never showed up into consideration.

"Because he is so mysterious, he is even more mysterious than the leader of the Tianxie Cult, so we cannot generalize."

Chu Qing was digesting what Yi Hai said.

The Dream Prince, the Good Prince, the Evil Prince, the Martial Prince...

These were unknown before.

The evil prince also learned about it for the first time today from Yi Hai’s mouth.

He groaned and said:
"Do you have any specific information about these people?"

“Very few.”

Yi Hai said:

“Although the Twelve Holy Kings are not the most terrifying existence in the Tianxie Cult, they are also a benchmark. They have a high status and their intelligence is guarded very strictly, which is not accessible to ordinary people.

“However…there were actually two princes present at the battle at Xianyun Mountain.

"It's just that they were holding each other back, so this battle didn't show up."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing was stunned:
"Which two?"

"The two princes of good and evil."

Yi Hai said:

"As far as I know from Wanbaolou, the distinguished guest and the kind prince have met several times."

After hearing this, Chu Qing was still fine, but Wu Qianhuan and Wen Rou were both a little frightened.

They have always been by Chu Qing's side, and they know exactly who Chu Qing has met.

In an instant, an image appeared in the minds of both people.

A little old man with gray clothes, hunched over, and silver hair.

What's his name... Oh, Do Good!
I still remember that before going to Xianyun Mountain, I passed by that pavilion. Mu Chunyu was being chased by Sanchou, and Xingshan was there too.

I once told Sanchou a story about a villain.

The evil things that man did really made people feel uncomfortable from head to toe.

He killed his father, mother, and his own children, and even invited guests to share the food.

It is so cruel and inhumane that they don't deserve to be called human beings.

Chu Qing exhaled slowly:

"Shan Prince...what are you planning?"

"I don't know."

Yi Hai sighed:

“Before the Tianxie Cult showed up in the world, Wanbaolou knew everything.

“After the Tianxie Cult showed up in the world, there are always some things in Wanbao Tower that are difficult to investigate clearly. Please forgive me for this.

“However, good and evil are opposites, but they also coexist.

“During the battle at Xianyun Mountain that day, the Evil Prince should have shown up and joined forces with the Lord of Arms.

“But it was stopped by Prince Shan.

"When you were fighting at Xianyun Mountain, the two beings of good and evil were also fighting a hundred miles away.

"This kind prince...doesn't seem to approve of what the Tianxie Cult is doing."

She paused at this point, a trace of shame appeared on her face:
"I'm sorry, dear guest. Please don't take what I just said to heart. The news about the sale of Wanbaolou will not be mixed with my own speculation. The true nature of the two good and evil people is up to you to judge for yourself."

Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"That's about all I need for now. Can I come over to buy things later?"

"It's fine until the building closes."

Yi Hai said:

"Welcome, come back anytime."

"it is good."

Chu Qing nodded, and glanced at Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou again:
"Is there anything you want?"

Both of them shook their heads.

Chu Qing then stood up:

"In that case, let's go."

Yi Hai stood up and watched him go.

After walking out of the room, I saw the maid standing at the door.

Seeing Chu Qing and the others coming out, he bowed slightly:
"Dear guests, do you want to go downstairs or upstairs?"

"Go upstairs."

"Please come with me."

The maid turned around and continued to lead the way.

Soon they came to another staircase, and the maid said:

“When you go up, you will enter a secret room. There are clothes and masks in the room. You can choose whichever you want.

"After we go out, other sisters will lead the distinguished guests to participate in the Yibao Bureau."

"it is good."

Chu Qing nodded, without saying anything else, and led Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou upstairs.

Sure enough, there was a room at the end of the stairs.

Inside was a black hooded coat and various masks.

Chu Qing randomly picked one that fit her and put it on, but Wenrou looked at them with a frown, feeling that none of them were good.

She has a petite figure, although the clothes here are well prepared and available in all sizes.

However, her body shape made her identity too easy to be recognized, so the mask and the hooded coat were meaningless.

Wu Qianhuan noticed her embarrassment and suddenly said:

"Why don't you go to the third floor by yourself, and we'll go to the first floor for a look."

Chu Qing thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Alright."

Anyway, there will be no conflict in Wanbao Tower, so there will be no danger.

Thinking of this, he took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou:

“Buy whatever you want, no need to save.”

Wu Qianhuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed:

"I remember you once made money from me."

"..."

Chu Qing was immediately delighted. It was such a long time ago that this happened, yet he still remembered it.

He shook his head:
"I forgot, you two are both rich ladies, how could you be short of money?"

Wu Qianhuan snatched the banknote:
“Who says there is no shortage… there is a lot of shortage.

"Okay, we're going down, be careful."

"Ah."

Chu Qing nodded and parted ways gently with Wu Qianhuan for the time being.
