Chapter 684: Strange Acquaintances

The Guihai Empire is closer to the south than the Longlin Empire, and the weather is relatively cold, so the mornings here are not as foggy as the Longlin Empire.

On the streets in the early morning, pedestrians come in twos.

Dongfang Shuo leaned on the windowsill and looked out, but his eyes were a little distracted, looking like he was in a daze.

But in fact, Dongfang Shuo at this moment is more sober than ever, and his external perception is also full of firepower, even if there is someone talking three hundred zhang away, it can't escape his perception at all.

"Master, we've been here for almost half a month, why haven't they come yet?"

Suddenly, Ah Whale, who was staying in the mountains and rivers, asked.

Dongfang Shuo's expression fell, but he didn't answer him.

Because, at all, what they have not yet come.

As early as when Dongfang Shuo arrived in Hejicheng, they were already there, but Dongfang Shuo didn't say it.

At this time, they in Ah Whale's mouth are naturally the three major forces.

Among the three major forces, Dongfang Shuo met two parties.

The first is the Taoist Sect, Dongfang Shuo has been dealing with Xuanzhong for a long time, so he naturally recognizes the body of the Taoist Sect.

Even if those respected elders could hide, the juniors they brought still couldn't escape Dongfang Shuo's eyes.

And when it comes to the juniors of the Taoist sect, Xuanzhong is also among them.

In addition to the Taoist sect, the other side is the academy.

Dongfang Shuo has only seen Dongfang Shuo of the academy once, so it is basically impossible to distinguish it by looking at it alone, but once Dongfang Shuo accidentally noticed that the junior of the Taoist Sect had negotiated with the junior of the academy, and that was it.

In this way, the movements of the Taoist sect and the academy were basically controlled by Dongfang Shuo.

The three major forces, there are still Buddhist temples left.

It's just that in the half month since Dongfang Shuo arrived in this city, he didn't see anyone from the Buddhist temple at all.

But it's normal to think about it carefully, after all, the Buddhist temple has a bald head, and it is obviously difficult to hide their identity, so they naturally won't appear easily.

What made Dongfang Shuo suspicious was that not only did he not see the people in the Buddhist temple moving around, but he also did not see any suspicious negotiations between the Taoist sect and any party in the academy in secret.

Dongfang Shuo believed that as long as he had the Kongtong Mirror in his hand, even those who were extremely high-ranking in the Taoist Sect and the Academy, as long as Dongfang Shuo knew about its existence, they would not be able to escape his surveillance.

Of course, having said that, he doesn't rule out the possibility of oversight.

After all, the other party came prepared, even if there was a Kongtong mirror in hand, it was impossible to guarantee that the entire other party could be monitored.

But all in all, time passed by and the city was already full of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Including Dongfang Shuo, all the tigers and wolves are waiting for the opportunity.

As long as the Dragon King of the Three Rivers appears, a big battle will be on the verge of breaking out.

Tuk-tuk.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look.

He had already sensed the comer, and he also knew that the comer's cultivation was not high, not only not high, but also very low.

It's just that this person's aura makes Dongfang Shuo feel as if he has seen it somewhere.

"Please come in. ”

When he spoke, Dongfang Shuo was already sitting at the coffee table.

When the door was opened, the visitor raised his eyes and saw Dongfang Shuo pouring tea.

"Sure enough, it's you. ”

That's the first thing the person who comes to say.

Dongfang Shuo, whose eyes fell on the tea, felt familiar when he heard the voice, and when he raised his eyes, he was really a person who had a relationship.

The guy who was in the tavern before, exchanged the news of the four monks for a table of wine money in Dongfang Shuo.

If Dongfang Shuo remembers correctly, he should be surnamed Xie and called ......

"Ragged clothes, how did you change your skin?"

Dongfang Shuo put down the teapot, and after saying a smile, he took a sip of tea.

And the other party didn't seem to mind, so he sat down.

Dongfang Shuo looked at him, at this moment he was no longer wearing the tattered patches, but a gorgeous dress, and he looked like he was made of good materials.

"My full name is Xie Youyun, not ragged. ”

As he spoke, Xie Youyun unceremoniously picked up the teacup and teapot and filled himself with a cup of tea.

It's not a pleasure to drink well.

"It would be better if there was wine. Shaking the cup, Xie Youyun seemed to be complaining.

Dongfang Shuo put down the cup: "What are you doing here with me?"

"It's really straight to the point, so let's make a long story short. Xie Youyun put down the cup, "Why do you want to create a rumor about the Sea Empire?"

"I don't understand. ”

"You know, because the rumored Dragon King of the Three Rivers in the market does not exist at all. ”

"Oh, is that a rumor?" Dongfang Shuo seemed to smile, and there was no movement on his face, "But that has nothing to do with me, why did it become a rumor made by me?"

"Longlin Empire, Dongfang Gate, twenty-four-year-old leader, it's you, right?"

Xie Youyun put his hand on the table, and his four fingers regularly pounded on the table like raindrops.

But Dongfang Shuo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You look like you know everything, but what you say is what you guess wildly. It's okay to guess right, but unfortunately you guessed wrong, you haven't said a word right since you entered the house. ”

But Xie Youyun's face did not change.

"You are. ”

Xie Youyun said, "I have already checked, the source of the rumor is a missing caravan, and the person who sent the caravan is you." And the people who added fuel to the rumors were the merchants of the Eastern Gate, who told the rumors to spread throughout the Longlin Empire, and then the rumors naturally spread to the Guihai Empire. ”

"What does this mean?"

"Dongfang Men spread such rumors, there must be another plan, and I have checked the guest records of all the inns around Hewidow City, and guests around the age of twenty-four abound, but you are the only one who has lived for half a month. Xie Youyun said, "This must not be a coincidence, so if you can't give a proper reason, my guess is right." ”

His gaze was staring straight at Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo clapped his hands.

"The head is the way, and it looks like you're already in the mix. ”

"Each other, each other. ”

"But I also guessed a long time ago that people like you don't tend to be mediocre. ”

"Aren't you going to admit it?"

"Because the only time I saw you, although you were dressed shabby, there was a light in your eyes that ordinary people don't have. ”

"If I come to debunk you, it means that I am ready, so there is no point in you delaying time. ”

"Well, I can admit, you're right most of the time. ”

"Now, then, can you tell me what your purpose is?"

"But you're wrong about one thing. ”

"Do you want to keep stalling?"

"That is, this matter, this matter that I have carefully spread, not a word is a rumor at all. ”

"There should always be a limit to lying. ”

"If you don't believe, wait three days, and in three days you will believe. ”
