Apart from Zuo Xiangmen Sheng, who else has the guts to directly call out the name of Town Guardian Marquis?
"I will go and invite General Town immediately"
The old man with white whiskers hastily paid his respects to Zhang Ruochen and then walked out of the elegant pavilion, dispatching a trusted aide to invite the Marquis of Garrison.
Although the identity of the mysterious young man has not been confirmed, Zuo Xiang is someone they absolutely cannot afford to offend, and even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, they must immediately go and invite Town Guardian Marquis over.
Even if we take a step back, assuming that mysterious youth really had some issues, but Town Guardian Marquis is a legendary figure in the world of martial arts at the Tianji boundary, what kind of powerful person is he? What big waves can a mere teenager stir up in front of him?
So now inviting Zhen Jun Hou is absolutely the wisest move.
When the white-bearded old man sent someone to invite Zhen Jun Hou, Zhang Ruo Chen whispered a sentence in Hua Wu Wei's ear. After hearing this, Hua Wu Wei's heart beat wildly and stared at Zhang Ruo Chen in shock.
Zhang Ruochen nodded at him and said, "Go"
The flower didn't clench its fist tightly and immediately left Zhuque Tower.
When the Marquis of Quelling the Army arrived at Zhuque Tower, Zhang Ruochen planned to take action and eliminate the marquis as quickly as possible before escaping from Black Market while its formation had not been activated.
Zhang Ruochen had to take action and kill someone, so he naturally had to let Hua Wú leave first. Otherwise, once Zhang Ruochen escaped, wouldn't Hua Wú only have a dead end?
To be on the safe side, Zhang Ruochen also gave a command to Hua Buwei, letting him mobilize all the power of Wu Shi's money house in the black market, sparing no expense, and destroy the protective array of the black market.
As long as the protective array is broken, with Zhang Ruochen's strength, if he wants to leave, no one in the black market can stop him.
The main reason is that Zhang Ruochen is not clear about the true strength of Zhenjun Hou, only knowing that Zhenjun Hou's martial arts cultivation is in the early stage of Tianji Boundary, but the gap between the early stages of Tianji Boundary is also quite large, and no one knows which step Zhenjun Hou has reached.
"With my strength, within a distance of ten zhang, I can launch a surprise attack and kill Town General with at least an 80% chance. If the first move doesn't kill him, it will definitely lead to a fierce battle. At that time, the protective array in the black market will be activated, which will be very unfavorable for me."
"An eighty percent chance of killing a Tianji boundary martial arts legend is absolutely worth fighting for."
"If the flower cannot destroy the protective array in the black market, the probability of killing the Marquis of Town will be higher."
Wei Zonglao asked curiously, "Liu Gongzi, what are you letting Hua Buwei go and do?"
Zhang Ruochen recalled his thoughts, smiled and appeared very calm, saying: "To buy a city, you naturally need a large amount of silver coins. Do you think I can carry a large amount of silver coins on me? Of course, I'll let him bring over a batch of earnest money. Wei Changlao, rest assured that with the financial resources of the Zuo Mansion, even if we want to sell ten cities, it's just a drop in the bucket."
Elder Wei had a faint sense of unease, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, this was the black market, and Town Marshal Hou was a legendary figure in the world of martial arts, what could possibly go wrong?
The flower didn't leave the door, turned around, took a deep look at Zhuque Tower, and let out a long sigh. "He's actually a big shot, I reckon the whole black market will be in an uproar soon. I'd better hurry up and take care of my business."
"Whoosh"
The flower was startled by a sword cry in his ear, and as soon as he turned around, he felt a chill run down the back of his neck. An icy jade sword was pressed against his throat.
The chill emanating from the sword tip seemed capable of freezing his entire body's blood solid.
Han Yu stood opposite Hua Buwei, holding a crystal-clear jade sword with one hand, his eyes sharp and cold as he said, "It's best if you don't speak, or your head might find a new home. Come with me."
The flower was not intimidated by Han Yu's aura and nodded vigorously.
Han Xiang wore a neat blue men's outfit, his black hair tied up with a hairband on top of his head, forming a young master's bun.
She was originally very beautiful, with delicate features and bright red lips and white teeth. With this dress, she looked like a handsome young man.
Hua Buwei was dragged by Han Yu to a small alley not far from Zhuque Tower, where Han Yu's arm shook lightly, cutting open a small wound on Hua Buwei's neck.
With a "thud", Hua knelt on the ground, rummaged through her bosom for half a day, and pulled out a large handful of silver coins, handing them to Han Xuan, crying and begging: "Master, this is all my worldly possessions, please spare my life!"
Han Xuan furrowed his brow, gazing at Hua Buwei with disdain. "Who said I wanted your money? I only have one question for you. If you can answer it, I might consider sparing your life. Tell me, who is that young man wearing a metal mask walking alongside you?"
"I don't know." The flower does not speak the truth.
He really didn't know Zhang Ruochen's true identity, but he knew that Zhang Ruochen should be a big shot in the Wu City Money House, however, this was something he absolutely couldn't reveal.
I don't know
Han Yu kicked Hua Buwei to the ground with one foot, and pointed his jade sword at Hua Buwei's face, saying in a threatening tone: "Do you believe I can cripple your martial arts skills right now?"
"Believe me, I'm telling you, I'm telling you"
The flower-like eyes rolled around and she got up from the ground, saying: "Actually, he is a disciple of the Left Prime Minister of Qian Shui Prefecture, named Liu Xin."
The flower didn't know for sure, so he hesitated and said it out loud.
"Zuō Xiàng Mén shēng ruò tā shì Zuǒ Xiàng Mén shēng, wèi hé huì gěi wǒ yī zhǒng sì céng xiāng jì de gǎn jué"
Translation:
"If he is indeed the Left Prime Minister's son, why do I get a feeling of déjà vu?" Han Xiao showed a solemn expression, somewhat disbelieving Hua Buwei's words.
The flower sitting on the ground didn't move, seeing Han Xuan was deep in thought, immediately seized the opportunity, flipped over from the ground and rose up, her movements extremely agile, rushing towards the outside of the alley.
He still has to arrange manpower and destroy the black market's defensive formation, he doesn't have time to waste here.
Although destroying the black market's stronghold was almost an impossible task, he still had to try his best to accomplish it.
Han Xuan snorted coldly, "With your level of cultivation, you think you can escape from me?"
"Wow"
Han Yu's arm stretched out, and a palm struck out, a dark true energy surged out, wrapping up Hua Buwei who had already escaped ten meters away.
The flower seemed to be trapped in a cold quagmire, slowing down more and more until it couldn't move at all. He stared at Han Xuan in extreme shock, thinking to himself, could he have encountered a martial arts legend?
"Dark Chaos God"
Han Yu walked up to Hua Buwei's face, his eyes staring into Hua Buwei's eyes, and performed a martial art that could interfere with the warrior's mind.
This martial skill is very strange and can only be cultivated by warriors who have activated the Dark System Divine Martial Mark.
"From now on, I'll ask one question and you answer one." Han Xiao said.
A wisp of black true energy entered Huā Bù Wèi's brow, and gradually, Huā Bù Wèi's eyes became dazed and dull, as if he were a wooden puppet nodding his head.
"Who is that young man wearing a metal mask?"
"I don't know." Hua shook her head.
Han Xiao's eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, feeling somewhat disappointed, and continued to ask: "How did you get to know him?"
Hua Buwei said: "Zhao, the manager of Wu's Money House, asked me to bring him here to the black market and told me he was a noble guest."
"Wu's Money House"
Han Xuan's eyes lit up, revealing a hint of joy, and finally managed to ask out some useful clues. In his heart, he secretly thought: "No wonder I had a familiar feeling about him, it seems that he is likely to be a talented inner palace scholar from the Wu City Money House."
Han Xuan continued to stare at Hua Buwei and asked: "Why did you leave Zhuque Tower, where are you going?"
"Chen Gongzi wants to kill Zhenjun Hou, let me arrange for the Wu Shi Qian Zhuang in the black market to use all its forces, at any cost, to destroy the protective array of the black market." Hua Bu Wei Dao.
"He actually wants to kill Town General Hou in the black market, what a big nerve" Han Xiao's cold and sharp smile suddenly turned serious.
Since he is an inner disciple of Wujicheng Qianzhuang, why kill Zhenjunhou?
Han Xiang thought of the mysterious boy who had obtained an account book in the underground secret room, and he had said something to her at that time. He actually claimed that the four-party county and the poisonous spider business association were colluding.
Han Yu didn't believe it at first, but when he found out that the mysterious young man was going to kill Zhen Junhou in the black market, for some reason, he began to suspect.
Isn't it true that the four-party county and country are secretly colluding with the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce?
Han Xiao asked: "Why did the Marquis of Quelling come to the Black Market?"
Hua Buwei said, "The Marquis of Quelling the Army is selling a city in the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association. Chen Gongzi wants to investigate the evidence of his collusion with the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association, so he disguises himself as a student of the Left Prime Minister's gate and prepares to buy that city, while also luring the Marquis of Quelling the Army out."
Han Xiao's eyes turned glazed, and he stopped using the "Dark Chaos" martial skill. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning extremely cold: "The detestable Town General Marquis actually dared to collude with the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild, even daring to sell out the city, what a huge audacity."
For a long time, the four-party county and country have been under the jurisdiction of the YunTai ZongFu and are controlled by the YunTai ZongFu.
Now, the Sifang County government is secretly collaborating with the forces in the black market behind the back of the Yuntai Sect, and if evidence is found by the Wushi Bank and reported to the Dongyu Holy King's Palace.
Will the Eastern Domain's Sacred King's Manor think that Yun Tai Sect is cooperating with the Black Market?
This matter is no trivial one, and that mysterious youth has already found evidence, only waiting to return the account book to Tianmo Martial City.
What can be done now to make up for it
Han Yu had two options: First, join forces with Zhen Jun Hou and kill the mysterious young man to retrieve the account book. Then, temporarily suppress the matter and report it to the higher-ups of the Cloud Platform Sect for them to handle.
Secondly, help that mysterious young man to get rid of the Town General, and then go with him to the Tianmo Martial City, explain things clearly to the high-level officials of the Wushi Money House, collude with the Duizhu Business Association is only related to the Sifang State, and has nothing to do with the Yuntai Sect.
If you choose the first path, then even if the Cloud Platform Sect had not cooperated with the Black Market before, they would have to continue cooperating with the Black Market, and will only become more and more distant, and sink deeper.
Moreover, now that she's in the black market, if she were to join forces with Zhen Jun Hou to kill Zhang Ruo Chen, Zhen Jun Hou and the powerful individuals in the black market might also silence her.
After much thought and weighing the pros and cons, Han Xuan finally chose the second path and decided to lend Zhang Ruochen a helping hand in killing Town General Marquis.
"First destroy the black market's protective barrier array," Han Xiao's heart had made up its mind.
Hua was already awake, staring at Han Xuan with wide eyes, shocked and stuttering: "W-what did I just say?"
"Nothing was said"
Han Xiao's eyes narrowed, revealing a charming smile, and he walked out of the alley without looking back, heading in the direction of the Black Market's Array Tower.
