056 Undercurrents surge
Liuhuo didn't wait for a day, only half a day Zuo Panyu and Yang Fan came to report, and none of the more than twenty awakened people left.
Liuhuo looked at the two in front of him and smiled bitterly.
"I wanted to scare a few away, but I miscalculated, these guys have the same virtue as the two of you, and they all admit death..."
Zuo Panyu took over the conversation and said.
"Everyone knows what the adults are doing in the water jade mine, and it is our unanimous choice to follow the adults, how can we be scared away by a few words from the adults?"
Yang Fan was also happy.
"Our group of people, when we were mortals, was a group of grassroots, and by chance we combined the Awakened, and we are also a group of grassroots. There is a grassroots way to live, and if adults give magic weapons and stuff money as soon as they come up, we don't dare to ask for it. What we want is to get from our hard work, and what we believe in is a penny of sweat and a penny of harvest..."
"So, the adult's temper with us..."
The flowing fire is resigned to fate this time, and once the kraft candy is stained, it can't be shaken off.
"From tomorrow, these twenty people will go to the Water Jade Mine in batches, where the south is close to the endless swamp, and the west is the Great Snow Mountain, which is a relatively safe area, and everyone goes treasure hunting..."
"All the treasures searched for will be handed over and distributed by me. We are too weak, too poor..."
"During this time, everyone must keep a low profile, don't attract the attention of others, everything is done in secret..."
Zuo Panyu and Yang Fan went down the mountain with the entrustment of the flowing fire, and the flowing fire fell into the busy refining of treasures.
Strength, everything is strength. Flowing fire is now desperate to improve himself.
"Even Hou Wen's strength is twice as high as me, it seems that I am not unjustly lost in the Hundred Gardens, and the strength of Yun Shaoyue is much higher than that of Hou Wenke..."
"The next time I see Yun Shaoyue and Jade Qilin, I must quietly investigate..."
"You can't always rely on the protection of others, even the prestige of the master. Everything is fake, only the improvement of one's own strength is real..."
Just as Flowing Fire was desperately refining treasures and trying to improve himself, in the Tiandu Palace, there were also people talking about Flowing Fire.
"Your Majesty, Elder Tongxuan from the Creation Gate has a letter, in addition to the daily greetings, the letter also mentions an awakened person named Flowing Fire, who is the young man who messed around in the Water Jade Mine..."
It was an attendant who spoke, and the majestic man in front of him was none other than Long Xingkong, the emperor of Chu State.
Long Xingkong is in his thirties, which is the age of vigorous energy, and the documents on his desk are waiting for him to be reviewed, and the huge Chu State is prostrate at his feet.
Long Xingkong heard the words of the waiter, put down the pen in his hand, and thought quietly for a while.
"Which stray fire are you talking about changing the rules by Pei Shui without permission?"
"Yes, that's him"
Long Xingkong pondered for a long time, then said with a long sigh.
"Since Master Tongxuan has spoken, let's do what the master wants..."
Long Xingkong sighed helplessly, because he knew that he, the emperor of the mortal world, was just a high-level ant in the eyes of the Creation Gate.
The so-called rules of a hundred years ago have actually been trampled on, and the state of Chu has become the backyard of the Creation Gate.
The chamberlain put down Master Tongxuan's letter and took out another official document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the Creation Gate is here again to urge this spring's grain and grass, it is said that the war is very tight in the vast mountains now, and the orcs in the south are a little ready to move... However, now the famine in Yongning Prefecture in the north also needs food and grass relief..."
Long Xingkong's brows tightened, he really couldn't understand why the Creation Gate was so interested in the orcs in the vast mountains. With 100,000 snowy mountains in the way, the orcs couldn't kill it at all.
However, the Creation Gate has mobilized a large number of manpower to form a hunter army and fight the orcs all year round.
The long supply line has to cross 100,000 snow-capped mountains, and every pound of grain sent in has to be consumed on the way. In recent years, a large part of the national strength of the Chu State has been consumed on the southern battlefield.
This year, the situation is even more serious, with a large locust plague in Yongning Prefecture last autumn and almost no harvest. It's easy to get through this winter, but the Creation Gate has reached out again.
"Let's send the grain and grass to the Creation Gate first..."Long Xingkong looked sad.
"But what should we do in Yongning Prefecture? At least a batch of wheat can be harvested in the summer, how can we boil the whole spring?"
Long Xingkong was ruthless and said softly.
"Contact her secretly, and get through the difficulties first..."
Long Xing's empty mouth is Suzaku.
As the intelligence leader under Lord Feng, Suzaku's purpose in Tiandu is not only to investigate the secrets of the Creation Gate, but also to contact the various forces of the Chu State.
When Long Xingkong's message asking for help from the dark ones was sent by Suzaku, Lord Feng was in Yongning Prefecture.
There is a remote place in the northwest of Yongning Prefecture called Savage Ridge. The mountains in the Savage Ridge are not high but very dangerous, the forest is not deep but very dense, and there is the largest group of karst caves in the Chu State.
The people of Yongning Prefecture are reluctant to come here, because there are countless terrifying legends in these caves, it is said that there are many wild people living in them, although everyone has not seen it with their own eyes, but it is a fact that many people who have entered the mountains have disappeared here.
But where the mortals fear, they can't frighten the awakened.
Long ago, the dark ones under Lord Wind had transformed this place into a secret stronghold.
Countless supplies are hidden in the labyrinth-like karst cave group, including the food supplies that the Chu State urgently needs now.
At this time, Lord Feng was in the cave by the light of the oil lamp to open Suzaku's secret letter.
Suzaku's information was very detailed, not only made Long Xingkong's request, but also reported the situation of the fire during this time, and more importantly, explained the disputes in the Senate very thoroughly.
Lord Feng carefully read the letter, and handed the letter to the ninth master.
After the ninth master read the letter, he spoke.
"Promise Long Xingkong, but you have to explain to him that after the disaster relief in Yongning Prefecture is over, the officials must be greatly adjusted, and all the appointed officials must be approved by us..."
"Tomorrow, the order will go down, let our people disguise themselves as merchants and sell grain to the Chu State..."
After reading the letter, the ninth master continued.
"Or is it the old routine, fake buy and fake sell?"
"Yes, just follow the old rules..."
"Isn't this too expensive? It is estimated that our food stock here will be exhausted," the ninth master was a little worried.
Lord Feng said nonchalantly.
"Food is not important, what matters is the population of Vinh Ninh. As long as we clean up all the lackeys of the Creation Gate among the officials and replace them with our people, we will have a huge rear. Countless new blood will be replenished, this is the long-term solution..."
Before the ninth master could finish speaking, he suddenly smiled.
"When you talk about a long-term plan, it reminds me of the fire in the letter. This little guy is quite ambitious, and he has only been in the inner gate for less than a year, and he has already begun to work on his own forces..."
"And he can really toss, Shengsheng has stirred up all the contradictions in the Senate to the table, and he is really a talent..."
"Now that the people on both sides of Peishui have turned to him, do you think we should do something?"
Lord Feng also smiled, smiling proudly.
"Don't go out of your way to help him, what he needs now is to keep a low profile and slowly stabilize his power..."
"But you can secretly organize some homeless people to go to him to beg for a living, I think what he needs most now is the population. The two sides of Peishui have been tossed by the Creation Gate for so many years, and the population is not decent, these bastards..."
Lord Wind's secret order soon reached Suzaku, and it specifically mentioned that she should continue to follow the Flowing Fire. Of course, the key is to do a good job of liaison with the royal family of Chu State.
The secret order made Suzaku a little confused, but also a little relieved.
What is confusing is, why does Lord Feng still let himself follow the flowing fire, what is the value of this guy?
Happily, if the secret order allowed him to leave the Flowing Fire, Suzaku would really be a little unaccustomed to it.
Maybe it's a little reluctant.
However, Suzaku didn't have time to think too much, so she quickly activated the dark line to contact Long Xingkong, and passed on the instructions of Lord Feng to him.
In addition, Suzaku is still busy wiping his butt with Flowing Fire. During this time, Suzaku's shadow troops have secretly executed more than a dozen spies on the shore of Peishui, and they don't need to be interrogated, and they can know who sent them with their buttocks.
"This wood, I play the treasure in the house, I do all the hard work, I don't know how to thank me..."
"I'm really depressed, I helped him so much, I can't tell him, but it makes him think I'm eating idle food..."
"Lord Feng is really, why do you pay so much attention to him, just let me go..."
It's a pity that Suzaku's heart can't be heard, and he doesn't have the leisure to observe Suzaku. The current Flowing Fire has been completely immersed in the matter of refining treasures.
In the past few days, the Flowing Fire Treasure Refining has not been smooth, and when most of the boxes of intermediate ore were swallowed by Tearless, Flowing Fire suddenly found that Tearless was a little overwhelmed.
No matter how hard Liuhuo tries to refine Tearless, but Tearless is not absorbed, which makes Flowing Fire extremely confused.
When Liuhuo was about to go out to ask Master Tongxuan, Hou Wen, who happened to come to see him, gave him an answer.
"Damn, you actually refined all the boxes of intermediate ores? What kind of magic weapon are you?"
"Oh my God, you also refined two boxes of low-grade ore before?
Hou Wen looked at the tearless floating in front of him blankly, his heart was like boiling a pot of water, and he just wanted to complain.
"Magic weapon refining, that's crammed with you. Generally, if a high-level magic weapon refines a box of low-grade ore, it will take a period of cultivation to slowly recuperate with one's divine sense, so that it can refine more in the future..."
"You're good, you just want to eat a fat man..."
"It's strange, how can you eat it without tears like this? Is it a divine magic weapon? But I haven't heard that the divine magic weapon doesn't have the function of dissolving the backlash?"
"This master is individual, is it also a magic weapon?"
Hou Wenqi rolled his eyes, and stuffed the tearless back into his chest.
"Since the magic weapon wants to rest, let's let him rest, I'm a little tired anyway..."
As soon as Hou Wen heard that the flowing fire was about to get out, he hurriedly shouted.
"Suzaku, hurry up and prepare the wine and food, the fire is out of the customs..."
