"Watch the snow falling in front of the door, and watch the Mirror Lake behind the door. I have a villa named Snow Falling, which is extremely elegant.
"My villa is worth ten baskets of pearls!"
That day in the beauty village, Xiao Se said these words to Tiannu Rui.
Lei Wujie has been to Xueluo Villa. It cannot be said that it is shabby, but it can only be said that it is better than the deserted temple.
Where can it be worth ten baskets of pearls?
At that time, I thought he was lying to Tiannu Rui, but now...are you serious?
Xiao Se walked towards the villa. At the door, an old man and two guards stood respectfully.
The old housekeeper waited for a long time, and the owner of the villa finally came back.
"Sir, I have suffered a lot these years outside," the old housekeeper burst into tears and knelt down.
Xiao Se smiled and looked into the villa:
"Not really. I live in Xueluo Villa outside. It's the same."
Afterwards, the group officially moved into Xueluo Villa.
In the past few days, the entire Tianqi has been paying attention to this special villa, looking forward to what King Yongan will do next.
However, nothing happened for three days, and Xiao Se didn't even leave the house.
Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo also accompanied him, first to rest and second to wait for others.
Wait for the person who should arrive first.
Today, a man wearing black clothes with spider webs printed on his sleeves came to visit - a member of the spider web.
"Tang Lian is dead."
The man in black went straight to the point.
"Impossible!" Lei Wujie retorted violently. He was about to say more, but was interrupted by Xiao Se.
Xiao Se looked at the spider web intelligence officer with a stern look on his face:
"go on."
The latter continued to narrate the information:
"Tang Lian was surrounded and killed by twenty people in the underground river. All the enemies were destroyed. She drank six glasses of Starry Night Wine and died of exhaustion due to the backlash."
Xiao Se's palms trembled slightly:
"Where's the body?"
"He was sent to Penglai Immortal Island by the Four City Lords and buried." The messenger's tone was flat and emotionless.
Sikong Qianluo's legs went weak:
"Big Brother..."
Lei Wujie was full of disbelief and walked around angrily, unable to say a word.
Everyone is supposed to meet up at Tianqi, why is there one missing?
Or the leading senior brother?
Lei Wujie didn’t believe it:
"Elder brother has escaped death so many times, but this time I wasn't even involved. How could he die?"
Spider Web Messenger's face was expressionless:
"That's the truth. The news was said by the three city lords, and I have been specially asked to tell you.
"It is found that Tang Lian's body has been sent by the four city lords to the big city lord for a grand burial on the Immortal Island."
After speaking, the Spider Web Messenger stood up and left, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"The cobwebs in Xueyue City are as cold as the rumors..." Xiao Se said solemnly.
Xueluo Villa was extremely quiet that day, but occasionally there was the sound of cups breaking.
...
On the other side, Qin Tian Jian.
Fang Ping and Li Hanyi visited Xingyue Pavilion and sat down and talked with the Imperial Master.
"Oh, King Yong'an has just entered the city, and you are here, and you still say that you are not his protector?"
Qi Tianchen chuckled and said:
"Xueyue City is very considerate this time."
Fang Ping and Li Hanyi shook their heads simultaneously and said in unison:
"We are only here to clean up the underground river."
Qi Tianchen was amused:
"The two of them said exactly the same thing, as if they had colluded, that's all.
"Why did you come to me?"
Fang Ping went straight to the topic and said:
"Regarding the underground river, I heard that the Imperial Master can monitor the entire Apocalypse. There have been many rats sneaking into Apocalypse in recent years.
"Does the Imperial Master know?"
Qi Tianchen nodded, then shook his head:
"That's true, but it's not completely accurate. Although the insight can cover the entire Apocalypse, it can only last for a short time. It will become tiring after a long time.
"I just checked it during the state banquet to make sure there was nothing unusual about Tianqi.
"But the little sword god has entered the mysterious realm and still can't catch a few mice?"
Apocalypse is a mixed bag, and various forces are intertwined. It is really difficult to find people by ordinary means.
Fang Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly:
"Last time I found two in Chiwang Mansion, and then I scanned Tianqi, but I didn't find the third one. I scanned again today, and still didn't find it.
"Tell me, are they not in Tianqi, or is someone hiding it deliberately?"
Qi Tianchen smiled slightly:
"Maybe it's well hidden?"
Li Hanyi suddenly said:
"No matter how well you hide it, it will leave traces. Maybe you should ask Bai Xiaotang."
Afterwards, the two stood up to say goodbye. Fang Ping took Li Hanyi and turned into a golden light and soared into the sky. He turned around and came to a small temple.
"Is this Baixiaotang?" Li Hanyi asked, "Is it underground?"
There is only a small temple in front of you, which is obviously not enough for processing intelligence.
Fang Ping nodded and stepped into the temple.
It was also his first time here. When he was immersed in the heaven and earth, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a corner underground and knew that there was a cave under the temple with countless classics.
Entering the temple, the Maitreya Buddha that should have been in the center was moved, revealing the passage diagonally downwards behind it.
"It seems they knew we were coming."
Fang Ping spoke calmly.
Go all the way down the stairs, and after a while, a wide place appears in front of you, with rows of black wooden shelves arranged neatly, and volumes of documents and classics displayed.
It occupies a vast area, larger than Xueluo Villa.
Continuing to walk forward, Fang Ping saw six iron-faced officials.
They sit in separate places, and the agency sends in information non-stop, and then they sort it out, classify it, or annotate it, like assembly line workers.
In addition to common slips of paper, the information also contains some sundries, such as hair, shredded paper, feathers or jade pendants.
Fang Ping couldn't help but think of garbage classification.
Although it's rude, it really looks like it, and it's still artificial.
Suddenly, one of the tough-faced officials spoke:
"The hall master is waiting for the two sword immortals behind, please."
Going around the iron wall, there is a small room with only a table and a chair, and a calligraphy and painting hanging behind the wall.
——The world is full of knowledge.
"The information required by the Sword Immortal has been prepared," Ji Xue spoke first, "It will be considered as part of your reward for treating my father. If you have any additional needs, please let me know and Baixiaotang will do it myself."
Ji Xue still wore the evil ghost mask and held a scroll in her hands.
Fang Ping unfolded it and saw that there were more than ten names written on it.
'Old Li's Blacksmith Shop - pseudonym: Li Zi, real name: Xie Kong.'
'Qingshan time-honored brand - pseudonym: Ji Bochang, real name: Su Dao.'
'Lesifang - pseudonym: Hongjiu'er, real name: Su Su.'
Ji Xue added with great respect:
"These underground river killers all entered the city three or four years ago, hiding themselves under various identities and lurking until now. These are the only ones currently available. If more are investigated, they will be submitted separately.
"In addition, although we have no specific whereabouts, there are still a group of killers in the city who lurked into the city earlier."
Fang Ping nodded. The secret channel was indeed a professional in intelligence. It had been registered long ago, so it was much more efficient.
Li Hanyi listened to the conversation between the two and felt that something was missing:
"Have you contacted Bai Xiaotang a long time ago?"
You said you were here for the first time, but it turns out you were here to get information?
Fang Ping said frankly:
"Yes, I chatted with the old hall master and met Xin Baicao. She was also there at the time. It was just a matter of convenience."
