Chapter 147: The Three Giants of Espionage

Liang Chen looked at the big fat man in front of him, and felt a little puzzled in his heart.

Because the other party said the word "again".

So the two of them were ...... before Ever seen it?

Of course, he didn't know that on the day of the selection of the examination in the inner courtyard, Fang Kui of the Fang family was with this Mr. Yao before he went to the Immortal Academy to fight with him.

However, Yao Qian did not show up at that time, but watched from a distance as the two of them fought from outside the Immortal Courtyard to the courtyard, and then quietly left.

Even Gu Haoran, Xiao Mu and others, who arrived later, had never seen Yao Qian.

When Liang Chen was seriously injured by Fang Kui, barely saved his life, and went to Chengtian Peak with one breath, he wouldn't have noticed that there was such a stranger in the audience secretly spying on him.

So from a certain point of view, this moment is the first time Liang Chen has seen Yao Qian.

But about the "hidden dragon yuan" in Yao Qian's mouth, Liang Chen has heard of it for a long time.

After all, the other party, as the number one spy organization in the cultivation world, has a good reputation, even without the appearance of Wen Bichu and the Si Li Yuan, Liang Chen has heard of this mysterious existence.

The only thing that makes Liang Chen a little uncertain is the level of the position of "head of the court".

I don't know which official is bigger than Cao Qing?

Immediately, Liang Chen reacted.

Yes.

It seems that there has always been some incompatibility between this Qianlong Yuan and the Adjudication Division, after all, their peers are enemies, and this is even more vividly reflected in the espionage system, so ......

At this time, Yao Qian appeared at the Talisman Appraisal Conference, could it be that he also came for the Blood Knife Ancestor?

Thinking of this, Liang Chen's gaze at Yao Qian couldn't help but have a hint of scrutiny.

Because it's just like the Divine Army.

Before this, Liang Chen had not included this variable of Qianlong Yuan in his plan.

"It turned out to be Mr. Yao, who has heard of the name for a long time, and it is an honor to see it today. ”

Liang Chen said this very politely, so Yao Qian shook the pu fan in his hand and smiled more happily.

"Yao has admired Liang Gongzi for a long time, hahaha......"

Saying that, Yao Qian seemed to have just seen Qiao Zhuang idle, and greeted him with a smile: "Young Master Qiao is also here." ”

Qiao Zhuangxian glanced at Yao Qian with some surprise, bowed his head slightly, and didn't say anything.

After all, for most cultivators, they are still a little resistant to espionage organization personnel like Cao Qing and Yao Qian, and they always feel that if they say a few more words to each other, they will reveal their secrets.

Today, thanks to Cao Qing who brought the news of the Blood Knife Ancestor, Qiao Zhuang Xian was willing to make a few more contacts with the Adjudication Division.

But at this moment, the people facing the Hidden Dragon Abyss were already frowning secretly.

Compared to Liang Chen.

Qiao Zhuangxian's judgment is more simple and direct.

A small talisman appraisal conference, of course, is not qualified to lead these two to Baihua Town.

Therefore, Yao Qian's purpose for coming here is already obvious.

Or come for the ancient remnants.

Or, just like Cao Qing, he also received news about the Blood Knife Ancestor!

After a brief greeting, Qiao Zhuang continued to walk towards the hall with everyone, apparently planning to go straight to the ancient remnant talisman.

However, Liang Chen was a few steps behind and asked Yao Qian: "I didn't expect Qianlong Yuan to be so interested in this ancient remnant talisman, so it seems that there should be no surprise that this remnant talisman is true or false." ”

I didn't think about it.

Yao Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "If Liang Gongzi and the others really came for this talisman, I am afraid they will be disappointed today." ”

Hearing this, Liang Chen was slightly stunned, and quickly figured out the key to this.

After all, purely in terms of spy strength, Qianlong Yuan is stronger than the Ruling Division, which is almost a recognized thing in the cultivation world.

It's just that because the adjudication department has an extra layer of relationship with the Liang court, it can barely be as famous as it.

Earlier today, Cao Qing told Liang Chen that the ancient remnant talisman on display at the talisman appraisal conference should be a fake.

Since even he had noticed the cattiness of the ancient remnants.

It doesn't make sense, Yao Qian can't see it.

Even Liang Chen couldn't help but suspect that Yao Qian chose to be the first to come up and talk to him, could it be that he already knew that the so-called "ancient remnant talisman" was actually from him?

It was only at this time that Liang Chen finally felt the trouble of dealing with this group of spy leaders.

Of course.

From a certain point of view, Liang Chen himself can also be regarded as the leader of an espionage organization.

The reason is simple.

At least in Cangzhou, in addition to the Adjudication Division and Qianlong Yuan, there is a third espionage force that cannot be ignored.

It's the Faculty of Directors!

And now that Liang Chen, as the leader of the secret guard of the Administrator's Academy, theoretically, he almost has the ability to spy on an equal footing with Cao Qing and Yao Qian!

Therefore, whether it is the Talisman Appraisal Conference or the whereabouts of the Blood Knife Ancestor, it is actually a head-to-head battle between the three spy giants in Cangzhou.

The initiator behind all this is Liang Chen.

But some of the information was exposed in front of Cao Qing's eyes in advance.

As for how much Yao Qian knows, Liang Chen still has no score in his heart.

However, Liang Chen heard that the people of Qianlong Yuan only like to collect information and do the business of buying and selling news, but they rarely participate in the influence on the course of events.

Therefore, even if Yao Qian sees through Liang Chen's overall plan, he should not interfere arbitrarily, but choose to become a bystander of history.

This is also the reason why from the beginning, Liang Chen did not count the hidden dragon yuan in it.

It's just that seeing Yao Qian suddenly today still made him a little nervous.

"Oh, could it be that Mr. Yao also understands Fu Seal?"

Yao Qian shook his head: "I don't understand, but I have information that can confirm that Zeng Guang's way to get this talisman seal is problematic." ”

Liang Chen raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"

Yao Qian said with a smile: "According to Zeng Guang's own words, this ancient remnant talisman was obtained by him from a black market auction in the state capital, I checked the black market auction he mentioned, and at that time there was indeed a mysterious ore of unknown origin, and the buyer was Zeng Guang. ”

"Ore?"

"Yes, Zeng Guang said that after he bought the ore, he kept trying to cut it open to see what kind of things were hidden inside, so he opened this remnant talisman. ”

Liang Chen was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"The method of hiding talismans in the stone is indeed refreshing, quite legendary, and that Zeng Guang is like a lucky person who has won the favor of the Dao, but the problem is ......" Yao Qian smiled lightly: "The price of this stone is too low." ”

Liang Chen said suspiciously: "Doesn't that just show that this Zeng Guangfu is not shallow, and other people have insufficient vision?"

"Nope. ”

Yao Qian affirmed: "In my opinion, there are so many coincidental elements in this story that there are too many traces of fabrication. ”

After a pause, Yao Qian added and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a game against the Blood Knife Ancestor. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Chen couldn't help but gasp, and he was sure that the other party was indeed the first and only one who directly linked the ancient remnant talisman with the Blood Knife Ancestor.

"However, with my understanding of Cao Qing, he doesn't seem to be a person who can make this kind of arrangement, or rather, a small Blood Knife Ancestor is not enough to let the adjudication department of these three states make such a big show, so I'm curious, who is the layout behind this scene......"

As he spoke, Yao Qian looked at Liang Chen with a smile on his face, as if he had put the answer on his face.

Liang Chen froze, a little unsure whether the other party was testing him, so he could only subconsciously change the topic and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Yao to also receive the news of the Blood Knife Ancestor, but I don't know, what kind of role Qianlong Yuan plans to play today?"

Yao Qian shook his head and said, "I, Qianlongyuan, treat all cultivation forces equally, so no matter whether the Blood Knife Ancestor will come today, whether he is alive or dead, he will not interfere." ”

As far as Liang Chen is concerned, it is enough to hear Yao Qian's assurance.

Then he smiled and said: "Okay, no matter what Mr. Yao thinks, but since he has come, the authenticity of the ancient remnant talisman must be seen in my Sixiang Courtyard before the final conclusion can be drawn." ”

After speaking, Liang Chen bowed slightly to Yao Qian, and then followed the pace of Qiao Zhuangxian and the others closely, and came to a booth in the center of the hall.

Yao Qian looked at Liang Chen's back as he left, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile.

Qiao Zhuangxian was screening the broken talisman seal in front of him at this time.

There are protective magic arrays around the booth, so that people can only watch from a distance and cannot get close to each other, although for Qiao Zhuangxian, this formation that Zeng Guangbu has laid is really a bit clumsy, and if he wants to take it by force, he can't stop him at all.

But in order to show respect, Qiao Zhuangxian, like everyone else, stood outside the magic circle, observing the details of the talisman with only his eyes.

After all, for a rune master like Qiao Zhuangxian, the authenticity of an ancient talisman is enough to be identified with just a pair of eyes.

Any deliberate forgery leaves a trace.

It's just that it was Liang Chen who made the fraud this time.

As a five-grade talisman master of the Eight Classics, coupled with all kinds of historical rare materials collected from the library pavilion, as well as the atmosphere of the Heavenly Demon Sect contained in the "Sun and Moon Heart Sutra" that he himself majored in, it can be said that Liang Chen has long been self-taught and has become a master of forgery with superb skills.

This ancient talisman that he forged this time.

Whether it is from the technique of drawing the talisman, the skillful workmanship, the choice of paper and ink color, or from the historical background, the story behind this talisman seal, and even most importantly, the breath of the Heavenly Demon Sect attached to it, can be described as impeccable.

At least from the current point of view, even Qiao Zhuangxian is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake for a while.

Maybe Liang Chen couldn't deceive Cao Qing and Yao Qian.

But really for a rune cultivator, the remnant talisman in front of them was definitely more real than real gold!

So even Qiao Zhuangxian, after several observations, came to such a conclusion.

"For the time being, it seems that this talisman should come from the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the talisman cultivator, and the hand of Ye Hua. ”
