94. Still don't know who is behind the scenes
"That's it?"
"There's no reason to refuse."
"It's not a casual promise, but in the end it's lazy and doesn't do things......"
Qingqiu Yuan looked at Li Nian suspiciously, feeling that this person's promise was a little too much.
"Meaning it's better for me to refuse?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm so sorry, but it was Ena who lost her word. β
"Anyway, I think this is still something to do."
After all, it was Li Nian who let Li Shunsheng go, and he had the responsibility of guarding the place of Chiba, and taking care of the local shrine was a matter within the scope of business, and he felt that it was justified to agree to this request.
Li Nian added: "So don't worry, I'm still keeping my promises, and I'll do it well if I promise." β
"yes? Obviously so skilled at deceiving people? β
Qingqiuyuan obviously still remembers being confused by Li Niansan's words at the beginning, thinking that Li Shunsheng ran away.
Being looked at with piercing eyes, Li Nian looked away.
"That's a white lie."
Qingqiuin sighed.
"Hui Na is stupid, he can't see where the good intentions are...... But since the gods have said so, we are relieved. β
"Speaking of laziness, I still have to remind you." Li Nian was upright, and his fingertips tapped on the coffee table: "After all, it is your own business to protect the killing stone, and what I can do here is to support you after discovering that something is wrong." β
He felt that it was still necessary to make it clear, so as not to have unnecessary misunderstandings and make some wrong decisions.
Gan Ji shook his head: "I am already grateful that my lord can do this, and it is enough to get a promise from you this timeβneedless to say, we know very well that the matter of killing the stone should be handled by ourselves." β
At this point, it can be said that the two sides have reached a basic consensus.
Li Nian felt that he was involved in the matter, so he wanted to ask something else.
"I think you also know that strengthening defenses is only one thing, and finding the enemy to sanction is the real thing to do. Do you know what to do about this? β
In the final analysis, it is not a matter to be passive and defensive all the time, and it is impossible to maintain a high degree of vigilance for a long time.
Only by taking the initiative can we have an advantage, and defeating the enemy is the fundamental way to solve trouble. Li Nian felt that after such a long time, the investigation on the side of Qingqiu Courtyard should be a little eyebrow-raising, and they could find out the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes, and what they should really do was to find the door and kill the other side - in other words, Li Nian would do this.
Unexpectedly, Gan Ji shook his head with an embarrassed face.
"Unfortunately, we have hardly any useful information about the attackers."
ββ¦β¦β
Isn't it completely clueless to deal with the problem when you say where you have to deal with it?
Li Nian's look at the fool made Gan Ji a little embarrassed,
Qingqiuyuan said with a smile.
"There's no way around it, and the ones that could have been caught have been run away."
She was talking about Li Nian letting Li Shunsheng go.
This time it was Li Nian's turn to be a little embarrassed.
He raised his hand in a gesture of surrender, his expression becoming helpless.
"Okay, it's all my fault."
This is a pot that can't be shaken off, indeed, if Li Shunsheng could be captured alive at the beginning, it would definitely become a breakthrough, although this person is undoubtedly a hard bone, but regardless of the intensity of torture, there are countless ways to make people spit out information.
Gan Ji explained, "At present, we only know of the group that attacked Miss Qingqiuyuan. It's a fairly large mercenary organization based in Africa.,They use the Internet as a platform to receive tasks.,Execute in the form of a squad.,Take the transaction method of collecting money first and then doing things.,This time I came here must have been hired by someone.,But we can't investigate the information of the employer.,Please forgive me for this.γ β
"So?"
Li Nian showed a thoughtful expression.
He had previously questioned the intelligence network behind the two people in Qingqiu Academy, but when he heard Gan Ji say this, he also realized that the investigation was indeed very difficult.
In these years, people are too smart, high-IQ crimes are popular, and a mercenary organization has done a set of commercial services, and someone will pay for it to do everything before and after, and the selling point is to leave no worries.
If it is in the form of anonymous assignments and remuneration, and the base is far away in Africa, it is indeed difficult to investigate clearly in a decent way without a breakthrough.
The consequences of letting go of Li Shunsheng are much greater than imagined.
So, where do you start......
Li Nian thought for a moment and asked again.
"Then do you know what the other party's goal is to kill the life stone?"
The killing stone is just a material, after the other party snatches the killing stone, there must be other uses, and this is what I asked.
Ganji and Qingqiuyuan looked at each other, as if they were a little hesitant to answer this question, Li Nian saw this, and frowned.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not that we don't want to say it...... It's just that as far as we know, that's just a rumor. β
"Rumors?"
"Your Excellency should also know that it is said that the killing stone is the resentment left behind by the nine-tailed fox who made trouble in ancient times after being retreated, and it is also said that the monk Xuan Weng once used mana to break it and scatter it all over the place...... In fact, there are many legends and myths, but at the moment, the one we are guarding is indeed not a complete killing stone, but only one of the fragments of the killing stone, not only Qingqiu Temple, as far as I know, there is also a piece of the Tuyumen family. β
The sudden pull of the surname made Li Nian a little concerned.
Tsuchigomon is Kagura's surname, and I remember that Huangquan also said that Isayama was its division.
So Kagura also has a killing stone in her hometown?
"There should be other fragments, but none of them are missing."
"You haven't said the point yet, so what's the rumor?"
"Rumor has it that if you collect all the pieces, ......."
"Can you summon a dragon to grant your wish?"
ββ¦β¦ It's the resurrection of the nine-tailed fox, whether it can fulfill the wish, I don't know. β
"I think so."
Gathering the fragments can be restored to a complete killing stone, and then resurrect its main body, the nine-tailed fox, which is really an obvious cause and effect, and it is not impossible.
But to collect all the fragments, does it mean that you will not only aim at Chiba's one, but also go to Kagura's hometown?
"It's just a rumor, the use of the killing stone is not the only one, it is also said that it can provide a very large amount of spiritual power, the second master of the earth royal gate, Lord Yale, is using the killing stone to drive the spirit beast Bai Rong, of course, that Lord himself is also a very good exorcist, but it is undeniable that the killing stone and Bai Rong provide a powerful boost for it."
"Gathering all the debris is too large and empty target, it is more likely that they are aiming at one of them, but if the capture of this one fails, they may also aim at the other."
"We've already told the Earth Palace, but I don't think they're going to attack the Earth Gate family, everyone knows that Lord Taichun, the head of the Earth Palace, has a talent for stargazing, and when it comes to the unheard of foresight, no one can stand out from it, and the Earth Palace Gate family is also a terrible place for the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger."
Kagura's family seems to be quite remarkable...... This is what the famous Qingming family should look like?
Li Nian remembered that in the world over there, the family line of Tuyumen seemed to have withered to the point that there was only a pair of brothers and sisters left, and only the elder brother had talent, and he had met with that person in the handover of affairs with the British Puritanism, and he remembered that he was called Tuyumen Yuanchun? Feel the weakness of the chicken.
Shake your head and shake off distractions.
"In other words, it's obvious that Chiba's strategy is less difficult, right?"
"With the help of Lord Martial God, maybe it won't be."
"Stop if you've had enough sycophants, don't say anything confusing here."
"That's it, it should be more aimed at the side where the garrison is empty."
Qingqiuyuan coughed twice dissatisfied, she was responsible for the garrison, and she was also said that the garrison was empty, of course she was a little dissatisfied.
Li Nian didn't look at her, but touched his chin and thought.
No matter what, you can only wait for the other party to show your feet before making plans...... That's none of your business.
Li Nian understood that all he needed to do was to assist in the care of the Killing Stone.
So he didn't plan to ask any more, so he waved his hand and said lightly: "Then come on." β
He meant that he wouldn't care more, and Qingqiu Yuan and Ganji, who heard this, didn't say more, they didn't ask for too much when they came this time, they just hoped that this martial god could take care of the situation at the shrine, and now that the negotiations are completed, the matter is finished, Li Nian agrees, and the goal is achieved, and he can go back to pay the errand.
"Recently, the wind has been calm, and there is no new news, in fact, it is possible that after this failure, the other party has decided to stop."
"That's fine, but you'd better prepare for the worst, don't let your guard down, I'm not responsible for dying outside my sight."
As soon as Li Nian said this, Qingqiu Yuan also nodded: "Hui Na understands." β
Gan Ji continued meaningfully.
"For our canonical compilation committee, the worst case scenario is the resurrection of the Nine-Tails, because there are also theories that it is not a monster...... It's an evil god. β
He may have wanted to say that the nine-tailed fox as an evil god was more dangerous, but Li Nian disagreed.
"What is the difference between evil gods and demons? If you really change it, you can cut it like that. β
"Ahaha, only Lord Martial God dares to say such a thing...... In short, it will be tricky to become like that, and please be more careful about taking care of the killing stone to prevent it from happening. β
Li Nian scratched his hair, he already felt that this guy was a little annoyed by repeated reminders, but he didn't say anything more, and then exchanged contact information, saying that he would notify Li Nian as soon as the situation happened, and the two of them were ready to leave.
Li Nian sent the guest to the entrance, but before leaving, Gan Ji suddenly asked a question as if he remembered something.
"By the way, speaking of which, Lord Martial God, you have a Shikami, right?"
"Huh?"
Li Nian didn't know what he was referring to at the beginning, and he didn't know much about the gossip that was circulating that he had a Shishen, and he just wanted to deny it, but suddenly realized who he was talking about.
Then I saw this man looking at him with a smile, but there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.
So Li Nian smiled slightly and replied, "Sort of." β
Gansu and Qingqiuyuan then took their leave.
There was a lot of information left in the conversation to be digested, and Li Nian became sleepy thanks to this.
Qingqiu Courtyard They didn't come to make trouble, but they came to tell Li Nian that someone would make trouble.
What will become of it......
Unlike Li Nian, who became a little worried, Lumia played until she came back in the evening, but she was very happy, and she was excited, and as soon as she came back, she asked Li Nian what the "animation" was.
Li Nian, who chose not to explain because it was very troublesome to explain, asked her why she was suddenly interested in this, and she replied, "Miss Wugen said that next time she would lend me a DVD of an animation called "maschera" to watch. β
In other words, this child knows her master's real name, and she has to be brought into some kind of animation pit by the mission.
"Is your relationship going well?"
"Hmmm! Miss Wugen is a good person! β
Li Nian's image of the black cat was completely different, and he only felt that it was a mean imp.
Either way, Lumia seems to have friends, and that's a good thing.
"Miss Wu said that there is a dessert house that wants to take me there, can I go there next time?"
She asked, a little apprehensive.
"Of course."
"Great!"
Li Nian replied, and the uneasiness turned into a happy smile.
Looking at the bright smile, Li Nian couldn't help but show a gentle smile and decided not to think about those troublesome things.
