Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Sage of Hill

Sun Xiang said decisively: "It's getting late, so be it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis letter is very important and related to whether or not your Hill Merchant Alliance can enter Astor City. So you have to protect it. Finally, I have one more request, please stay here and leave after dark. With that, he took the three girls and walked west without looking back. He had already probed with his divine sense, and now there was nothing but the guards of the Hill Merchant Alliance. The rest of the personnel were obscured from view by the broken arm of the broken wall.

Looking at Sun Xiang's back, Captain Zhao was very entangled.

He knew what it meant for the Merchant Alliance to settle in Astor City, and he also believed Sun Xiang's words, because the agreement between Sun Xiang and the Hill Merchant Alliance was a magical oath. Therefore, he knew the weight of the jade plate in his hand and the letter. However, Sun Xiang left in such a way, which made him feel a little difficult to explain after going back. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and stood there without moving. It wasn't until it was already dark that the puzzled guards gathered and hurried towards Enrique City. He wanted to contact the headquarters as soon as possible through the branch there and listen to the headquarters' opinions.

Sun Xiang's divine sense has never left Captain Zhao and the others, if these people don't let him go, he doesn't mind going on a killing spree. He was relieved to see that the captain really stayed there and didn't move. His divine sense could observe a distance of a hundred miles, and the captain's every move was under his observation.

When the captain led the people away, Sun Xiang and the others had already changed direction many times and disappeared into the night.

Those "iron fans" who had been following Sun Xiang and the others found that Sun Xiang did not leave with the guards of the Hill Business Alliance. Immediately ran towards the broken arm of the broken wall, but they did not find the shadow of their idol at all. The sudden change made them all stunned. Then, everyone reacted and immediately ran to Enrique City, and they wanted to spread the shocking news as soon as possible. There are also a few "iron fans" who are still not giving up, and chase in the direction that Sun Xiang may leave.

In the past half a year together, Meng Shalu and Meng'er's strength has increased somewhat, Meng Shalu has reached the late stage of a senior swordsman, and she is not far from the peak; Meng'er has also reached the late stage of an intermediate swordsman, and she is not far from breaking through. At the beginning, in the mountains on the outskirts of Sin City, the two girls showed their unique endurance and physical strength of the orc race, and they had no problem keeping up with Sun Xiang's rhythm at all.

Sun Ying has been sharing the perception of the law of space with Sun Xiang from time to time for most of the past half a year, and his strength has also risen steadily, and he has reached the peak of the middle stage of the sword master, and he is about to break through to the late stage of the sword master. It's not a problem physically either.

No one was holding back, and with the help of Sun Xiang's divine sense, although the four of them were hurrying at night, their speed was not affected, and they walked quickly to the west.

The Hill Business Alliance soon received the jade plate and letter from Captain Zhao. They sat together and read Sun Xiang's letter.

The leader of the Hill Merchant League was Smith Hill, a member of Freemasonry, and he founded the Hill Merchant League. Cui Songri and Ma Lanxi are not the only quasi-saints of the Shang Alliance, there are two others with the same strength as him, and they are also the deputy leaders of the alliance.

After reading Sun Xiang's letter, the alliance leader handed it to several other deputy alliance leaders and asked them to take turns watching it. He himself fell into deep thought.

After everyone finished reading Sun Xiang's letter, the alliance leader raised his head and asked several deputy alliance leaders: "What do you think?" ”

Cui Songri breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was surprised to hear that Sun Xiang had actually gone to the west. He was not concerned about Sun Xiang's safety, but was afraid that Sun Xiang would miss the appointment and delay the plan of the Shang Alliance. After reading the letter, he was relieved, so he spoke first: "The content of the letter is the same as what we agreed at the beginning, with this letter and Sun Xiang's jade plate, we should be able to enter Astor City smoothly." ”

That Ma Lanxi was also relieved, and continued: "Wentianmeng entered Astor City with Sun Xiang's jade plate and handwriting half a year ago. We're going to hurry. ”

The alliance leader shook his head and said, "That's not what I said. I mean, what do you think of Sun Xiang as a person? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of the would-be saints spoke: "What a plan." The kid was going to sneak back in the war zone and get rid of all the surveillance, and then find another chance to get out of here. ”

Listening to his words, everyone nodded.

Hill shook his head again, "You're all wrong. That kid wasn't going to make a false shot, he was going to enter the orc clan and send those two slaves home. ”

"What?!" All four exclaimed at the same time. If it weren't for the serious expression of their alliance leader, they would have thought it was a joke.

However, when they saw the serious expression of the alliance leader, they would all be suspicious. Because the leader of the alliance can bring the Hill Business Alliance to the top ten ranks of the multinational business alliance, one of them is his judgment.

After a long time, one of the deputy alliance leaders spoke first: "The afterlife is terrifying." The courage to send those two slaves home has to be admired. ”

The last deputy alliance leader, who had not spoken, said: "His behavior is stupid and impulsive. But I have to say, I admire him. Compared with him, today's young people are not even scum. If he can come out of the orc race alive, I must see him for myself, such a person deserves respect even if he is an enemy. ”

The alliance leader nodded and sighed: "Alas, there is a demon in the old Sun family." Old man Sun has been calculating others all his life, but he didn't expect his juniors to be such people. Is this the importance of love and righteousness? Or is it youthful frivolity? At this, he frowned.

Everyone felt that it was difficult to answer the words of the Sage of Hill, so they also fell silent.

After a while, the Sage of Hill said as if to himself, "I know you have doubts about why I didn't revoke the wanted warrant. I'll tell you. Because I want Sun Xiang to die. ”

Everyone looked at Ciel in surprise, and although they didn't speak, they all looked puzzled.

Hill didn't wait for everyone to ask questions before continuing: "You all think that Sun Xiang is the key to our entry into Astor City, and entering Astor City has obtained a stepping stone to trade with the elves. Actually, you're all wrong. Without Sun Xiang, it would be easier for us to enter Astor City, and without Sun Xiang, we would be able to carry out the same trade with the elves. At this point, he paused.

Cui Songri asked eagerly, "Why?" Alliance Leader. ”

Hill raised his head, his eyes looked into the void, and said in a deep voice, "The reason is very simple. Sun Xiang is a business wizard. Without him, Astor City would have lost its way in order to allow us to take advantage of it. And the return of the elves is a historical inevitability, and they will return without Sun Xiang. ”

After listening to Hill's analysis, everyone seemed to understand something, but no one raised questions, because they knew that the alliance leader would solve the riddle.

Although they have not yet entered Astor City, they have put a lot of effort into it for the future. The reasons and process of the rapid rise of Astor City have all been figured out by them, and they understand Sun Xiang's role in it. They just followed the normal mode of thinking and considered how to befriend Sun Xiang. Only their alliance leader found another way to kill Sun Xiang.

Cui Songri was a little sweaty, because those guards were all selected by him, and he personally explained the importance of completing the escort task. He didn't expect that he didn't understand the alliance leader's intentions.

See Choi Song-il's performance. Hill smiled and said, "Matsuri, don't get me wrong. Although I want Sun Xiang to die, I really hope to ensure his safety. Are you feeling conflicted? ”

Cui Songri nodded again and again, and did not forget to take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Hill was not in a hurry to answer Cui Songri's doubts, but changed the topic: "Old Raphael, in a hurry for quick success, actually set the Religion of Light as the state religion and established a country with separation of church and state. He did this, ostensibly to resolve the increasingly serious contradictions of polarization in the country, but secretly he was plotting against the surrounding kingdoms, even the kingdom of light. However, he was too naΓ―ve to say whether the Inkran Empire could cope with a two-sided war, and even the Freemasons would not allow human society to be in turmoil. The Sage is only a deterrent, and cannot be shot in other countries. Without the help of the Sage, the surrounding countries were so easy to plot? With that, he looked at the four deputies.

Cui Songri nodded, sighed and said, "Alas. They let the Cult of Light take the lead. However, now the problem has been exposed, and the Cult of the Illuminati is not so easy to exploit. ”

The other quasi-saint nodded: "Yes, the sect leader they supported has already begun to move. Without his acquiescence, how dare those Christians put forward ideas for reform? ”

His words were echoed by Ma Lanxi: "Yes. That person was also from the royal family, and he didn't have a chance before, so he kept a low profile and endured it. Now that he has such a huge power in the church, he will jump out sooner or later. ”

Hill shook his head: "None of this is the root of the problem. The root of the problem is that they are driving backwards. After the millennium war, the current form of government has been proven by practice and is conducive to the development of human society. They ignore this and want to go back to the pre-millennium polity, which is turning back the clock of history. In fact, this is no different from our business, the return of the elves is a historical necessity, and they turn a blind eye. As a result, our business alliances have been defeated. ”

Speaking of this, Hill seemed reluctant to say more, and after a pause, he said: "We are lagging behind now, and you all think that the way to turn the situation around is to befriend Sun Xiang." It's a good idea, but to be behind is to be behind, and we've lost the lead. But what if Sun Xiang died? ”
