The dog-headed military advisor made an invitation gesture and led everyone to the carriage. On the carriage were neatly arranged large wooden boxes. He opened one at random. As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a bright brilliance came out from inside, which made people laugh.
Dazzled.
Even though Mei Li was well-informed, she couldn't help but marvel when she saw the dazzling light coming out of the box.
Sure enough, women are not immune to gems, let alone boxes of gems.
Du Rufeng saw that the box was filled with crystal stones. Although the quality was ordinary, the quantity was sufficient.
He had originally doubted whether Li Xuan could really obtain a large amount of cheap crystals. Now that he saw the actual goods and looked at Li Xuan, the meaning in his eyes had changed somewhat.
"This guy can be won over." He thought to himself, but he didn't know that this thought would drag him into the bottomless abyss.
Du Rufeng has a villa in the wealthy area of Fengjing City. The surrounding environment is quiet and tightly guarded. He occasionally convenes meetings with his cronies here.
At this meeting, there was one more person than usual, and it was Li Xuan.
He stood next to Meili, and the two of them whispered, looking very intimate, as if they had forgotten that Meili was the mistress of the Imperial Master.
Du Rufeng hadn't arrived yet, and the other people attending the meeting were all old acquaintances. They gathered together in twos and threes, glancing at Li Xuan and Meili from time to time, probably still harboring some grudges in their hearts.
You Long and Su Hu are the leaders of two small groups respectively. The two groups stand clearly in two corners, and their relationship seems to be somewhat discordant.
Li Xuan secretly remembered this situation in his heart. Since the other party had internal dissatisfaction, he might be able to take advantage of it.
There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and Du Rufeng appeared wearing a nightgown and yawning. He seemed to have not finished sleeping, or maybe he had done "physical work" last night, and his eye circles were still a little dark.
This is rare among talented monks.
Li Xuan looked at the pale skin exposed at the slits of his nightgown and muttered in his heart. The physiques of monks are very weak, and some are not even as good as ordinary people.
Du Rufeng looked energetic on the outside, but it was hard to tell how poor his physical condition was.
However, the scene he saw now made Li Xuan pay attention. Maybe Du Rufeng was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, which would be much easier to deal with.
Du Rufeng sat awkwardly on the only chair in the conference hall, with all his cronies lined up in two rows. If the decoration of the conference hall were more luxurious, it would be more like the emperor summoning ministers to discuss matters in the palace.
Li Xuan looked at it coldly and thought to himself: This kid is really ambitious. No wonder he wants to use the power of the outside world to unify the Moon Shadow Realm.
"You Long, are you in such a hurry to convene a meeting? Is there something urgent?" Du Rufeng's eyes swept over everyone, especially Li Xuan, and then asked lazily. His spirit
Li Xuan didn't seem to be very excited. It was completely different from the first time he saw Li Xuan a few days ago.
You Long took a step forward, bowed first, and then said: "Master, the location of the crystal magic array has been selected, and the plan can start at any time."
Du Rufeng's eyes lit up: "Oh, finally found it?"
"Thanks to the help of Zou Yan, the principal of Jixia College, we can determine the final location. Moreover, our crystal reserve is enough. As long as we have a month, I believe we can build the crystal magic array." You
Long said confidently.
Li Xuan remained calm, but suddenly realized in his heart: No wonder Du Rufeng needed so many crystal stones. It turned out to be to build a magic circle to guide the arrival of the outside world.
Sima De is also doing the same job, but they use different methods.
Sima De's personal power is limited, so he can only travel through the barren mountains and rivers, trying to determine where the outside world may come.
Du Rufeng's ambition and ability are obviously much greater. He actually wants to guide the coming of the outer realm. This idea can be regarded as whimsical, but it is not impossible to achieve.
I really don't know whether this guy is a genius or a madman.
However, Li Xuan was also frightened by Zou Yan's appearance.
None of the people in front of them had seen him before, so of course they wouldn't be able to recognize his disguise, but if it were that old fox Zou Yan, he might not be able to hide it from his eyes.
"Now that everything is ready, let's get started. You Long will be solely responsible for this matter." Du Rufeng said slowly.
You Long's face was filled with joy, but as soon as Du Rufeng finished speaking, Su Hu on the other side spoke up: "Master, if You Long is responsible for it alone, I'm worried that I won't be able to do it, so why don't you let me help together."
"Su Hu, what do you mean?" You Long's expression changed. The two of them had been competing for the position of the number one confidant in front of Du Rufeng. Their relationship was at odds with each other. Now that Su Hu was blatantly provoking, he was naturally furious.
.
"Hey, I just hope that things can be done well." Su Hu sneered, "And this matter involves too many crystal stones, so there must be mutual supervision."
A cold light flashed in You Long's eyes. Su Hu's words were already heartbreaking. If Du Rufeng really became wary because of this, he would have died unjustly.
"Okay, stop arguing." Du Rufeng waved his hand impatiently, "This matter will be discussed by the two of you. If there is nothing else, let's break up the meeting."
You Long and Su Hu glared at each other, one was angry and the other was triumphant. After this battle, Su Hu had the upper hand for the time being, but seeing how angry You Long was, he would definitely find a chance to retaliate.
of.
Li Xuan saw all this and thought to himself that Du Rufeng was indeed still young. It would be strange if two discordant cronies were allowed to handle the same matter without delineating specific powers. There would be no conflict.
Du Rufeng yawned and left. The people in the conference hall divided into two groups, one group followed You Long and the other group gathered around Su Hu.
Only Li Xuan and Meili were in a separate small circle. They walked out of the conference hall side by side, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Hey, Mr. Li Cheng, don't walk so fast." Before the two of them could go out, Su Hu's voice sounded from behind. He followed alone, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Mr. Su Hu, what's the matter?" Li Xuan also showed his signature smile.
"Hey, there's nothing special. I just want to ask Mr. Li Cheng to join in the construction of the crystal magic array. I wonder if you are willing." Su Hu said.
When he speaks, he always likes to say the word "Hey" first. Whenever that word comes out, Li Xuan's heart skips a beat, and there seems to be a strange magic breath vibrating in the air with that syllable. Li Xuan
Doubt is not a simple mantra, but a spiritual temptation.
"This guy is very dangerous." This was Li Xuan's inner evaluation of Su Hu.
However, he was still very polite: "If Mr. Su Hu needs it, of course I am willing to help. I am new here, so please take care of Mr. Su Hu."
