Chapter 926: Defection (2)
An Xiaoyu didn't expect that Shi Ting would come to the door so quickly, but still came with the sincerity of the entire Shi family. It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when An Xiaoyu woke up from her sleep and heard Dong Xiaoguan say that Shiting had been waiting for her for more than an hour.
Judging by the time, it should be before it gets dark.
So early? An Xiaoyu was really surprised, according to the urine nature of those people in the Shi family, they had already mastered the previous style of the teacher, even if Shi Yi killed the Great Elder and the Shi Ting broke through the true realm, then he should not have made up his mind so quickly to make up his mind about what to do in the matter of the South China Sea.
Not only because they are deep-minded, but also related to the interests of the entire teacher and the future direction, they can't help but be imprudent. What's more, even if the knife is on the neck, are these people willing to teach the authority to the master in their hearts?
Isn't this talking in a dream? If it were that simple, the master's family would have become a family of cultivators long ago.
Shaking off his head that was a little sleepy, An Xiaoyu washed his face, tidied up his clothes and hair, and then came out and said, "Let's go, see what this genius of the master family wants to say?" β
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that he is a genius, Shi Ting is actually only six or seven years younger than Shi Yi, and now he is also in his sixties, if he is an ordinary person, he has already passed half of his life. However, in the case of the Grandmaster, this change is not obvious.
Sitting on the sofa, An Xiaoyu looked at the young-looking grandmaster master in front of her, and muttered twice in her heart, thinking about how to start this conversation. As a result, she didn't expect that she hadn't thought about it yet, so she spoke first.
"I want to participate in the development of the South China Sea Ruins! I'm already a true realm cultivator! β
An Xiaoyu was amused when she heard this, waved her hand and said lightly: "I know that you are already a cultivator of the True Realm, so you don't need to show off. β
Shi Ting's face was a little red, probably because he was choked, and he was slightly angry in his heart. But in the face of An Xiaoyu, he really didn't have any angry capital, so he had to suppress this anger in his heart, but his face couldn't help but show a little bit.
An Xiaoyu observed her words and looked at her expression, and she was even more disdainful.
Not against the Shiting, but at the Shijia. This family keeps cultivators in captivity like two kinds of dogs, training them from an early age to improve their abilities, but they have always taken obedience to orders as their first purpose, and even so, they still can't get rid of the fate that cultivators should have.
When Shi Yi should be angry, he still aimed the knife at them, the owners, and the wind-powered teeth and claws they sharpened with their own hands completely tore apart the dignity they had maintained for many years in an instant, without mercy, but even more cruel.
Cultivators like them have never seen the real cultivation world, and they have never even had their own thoughts, and they have always acted according to orders. When you really come into contact with the outside world, you will become like this.
At the beginning, just like Shi Ting, he didn't know the rules of speaking and doing things, and he first exposed his character and hole cards, at least in An Xiaoyu's opinion, Shi Ting is a person who can see through at a glance, which can know a lot of things.
The Shi family will never take the initiative to send someone like Shi Ting to negotiate with him, otherwise it will be equivalent to exposing all the hole cards. In other words, Shiting came here, in fact, it was his own meaning, which is easy to understand. For the first time, this person has his own gradual, self-consciousness awakening, and he can't wait for it, for fear that he will regret it.
That's why he came here so early, and he didn't want to discuss with the people of the master's family, otherwise he would never have come here. It also shows that the Shi family is still in an ambiguous state about the South China Sea relics, and they should still be waiting and seeing.
At present, the teacher should have two ideas.
Either wait until An Xiaoyu solves the problem on the side of the court, and then finds enough True Realm masters to deal with the ruins below the South China Sea, and they don't interfere at all. Either I plan to see if An Xiaoyu is bluffing, and if so, I will take the opportunity to "send charcoal in the snow".
This kind of idea is actually very reasonable, but unfortunately the Shi Ting didn't know what they thought, and they excluded the Shi Ting, which made him start to think crankily. It seems that they have not completely jumped out of the circle, and although they are aware of the purpose of the master, they are not aware of their fixed thinking about the practitioners.
And once the cultivators who have been cultivated in this way by the master family have gone through too many things, have seen blood, and their hands start to get dirty, and they can no longer wash them, they will become like the masters. Completely become an unstable **, and if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself.
The reason why there was no accident in the master's family before was only because before the great world of cultivation began, the interests of these cultivators depended on the family, and only by relying on the family could they survive, so it became natural to do things for the family.
And it's not just them, it's the cultivators of other families, if you want to say that other cultivators, unless they are the world's well-known top masters, you go out and count them before cultivating the great world, and one of them counts as one, the cultivators are all those mud legs, and life is better than being a lackey of the family.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, in fact, Shi Yi has already seen it very clearly, but An Xiaoyu has had too much impact on him. Compared to An Xiaoyu, the cultivators of the Shi family were too humble. This made Shi Yi begin to realize that if he didn't make some changes quickly, I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before the Shi family was doomed.
Looking at Shi Ting, who was now sitting in front of him, An Xiaoyu's mind was spinning, and he thought of so many things, so he asked, "You came here, it should be your own intention, right?" β
Shi Ting nodded.
"What do you think?" An Xiaoyu did not directly say anything about the South China Sea Ruins, but reminded him: "I'm talking about the matter between the master family and the cultivators. β
Shi Ting also didn't expect An Xiaoyu to talk to him about this, hesitated for a moment, and thought carefully about what he should say and what he shouldn't say in line with the principle of confidentiality. After thinking for a while, he said: "I didn't think much about it, I just didn't want to let what Brother Shi Yi did in vain." β
"Oh." An Xiaoyu understood, this person thought that everything Shi Yi did was for the sake of them cultivators, obviously innocent thoughts. He didn't realize what kind of promotion Shi Yi's actions would have on the family, in his simple thinking, what was right was right, and the enemy was the enemy.
Shi Yi's killing of the Great Elder meant that the cultivators and the people in power of the Shi family were on the opposite side to some extent, so what he wanted in his heart was to fight, not to understand. Such thoughts are hedged against their careful thoughts, and it becomes extremely interesting.
An Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing twice, shook her head and said, "You go back, if the master is ...... I'm saying that if everyone in the Shi family, including you and Shi Qianqian, plans to cooperate in the development of the relics, you can apply directly to the Empire, and the matter of approval is not up to me. But if it's your own assertions......"
"I can participate in the development work in my personal capacity, I heard Brother Yi say that the ruins under the South China Sea need six masters of the True Realm to be able to open, and I can also be counted as one!" Shi Ting said suddenly.
An Xiaoyu still shook her head: "I'll tell you this, first of all, the ruins below the South China Sea do need six people to fight, but I can find six people, even if it is less than you, it is not a lot, not to mention that you have just been promoted to the true realm, that place requires very delicate energy control, you have to say another if you can do it." β
"Secondly, you represent yourself, what if the master family comes to me? The Empire has now given me a formal mandate, and has named this development activity, which is clearly called the Nanhai Emperor's Mausoleum Development Operation, which is not something I have the final say. β
"If you are promised to join the action in your own name, what kind of trouble will the Shi family make, or because you are a member of the Shi family, or ask for a share afterwards, will you be able to decisively betray the Shi family, or can I kill all the Shi family?"
"In the end, you came here by yourself, since you haven't discussed it with Shi Qianqian, I think you must not have discussed it with other cultivators, otherwise Shi Xiangqian will definitely hear the wind and look for you to go back. I don't think such a hasty decision is enough for me to admit your sincerity. β
Shi Ting was said to be red-faced, but An Xiaoyu was not bad at all. He had a feeling of being controlled in the palm of his hand, all his actions and thoughts were under the control of An Xiaoyu, and all the words he had prepared before were now being picked and picked over and over again, but he found that they were all full of enthusiasm and couldn't say it at all.
He originally thought that An Xiaoyu was a young man, even if he cultivated to a high level, he was only less than twenty years old. But now it seems that this girl, who is only twenty years old this year, has a deeper mind than him, but he is like a child who has not yet opened his mind.
"This ......" Shi Ting thought for a long time, and finally said: "On the family side, I will explain." If I can't explain it, I'll ......."
"You're going to kill them? Just like Shi Yi? An Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing, shook her head again and said, "I think, you better go back and think about it." Since they want the things in the ruins, why are they still standing still? Obviously you are willing to make a move, and you will not even fight for your own interests, why wouldn't they do it? Why wait until now and haven't spoken out? Do you understand it? β
"Why did Shi Yi only kill one Great Elder, but didn't kill half of the Elders' Hall? Since they are all going to be killed, it is better to live than to die if you kill one, and you have to turn against you at the same time, wouldn't it be more refreshing to kill a few more and die? Is he just trying to put you and the teacher against each other? Just to make you want to emulate? You were able to break through on the spot, but what about your successor? Do you understand? β
"Why do the Maisons want the things in the ruins, do they just want the gold and silver treasures? If so, isn't there a better way to make money in the current economic situation? And no one in the entire Xuanshan Province will stop the Shi family, but they want to work against me and want to participate in it, for what? Will they or you be the ones who will benefit in the future? Do you understand it? β
Listening to An Xiaoyu's series of questions, Shi Ting opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak. He couldn't answer these questions, and he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't become a stumbling block to the development of the Nanhai Emperor's Mausoleum, and that's when he began to realize how naΓ―ve he was.
He also thought that as long as he came over and expressed his willingness to participate in the action, even if he didn't hesitate to leave the teacher's family, An Xiaoyu would accept himself very happily, just like accepting his own people. Then everyone goes to the bottom of the sea together, and the search for treasure is another thing.
However, there are so many things that I didn't think of.
Thinking of this, Shi Ting couldn't help but blush. An Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It stands to reason that our cultivation is not too similar, you are my elder." But the teacher's education of cultivators is really flattering, and this can't be changed for a while, so you don't have to care. β
As she spoke, she pushed the just warm teacup on the table towards Shi Ting, and smiled slightly. Even if Shi Ting is ignorant of the world, he should know that this is a send-off. Feeling ashamed in his heart, he only felt a burst of heat on his face, and he didn't drink tea anymore, just stood up and nodded, turned around and walked out of the living room.
If Leng Yan is here, it is inevitable that he will have to say An Xiaoyu is still too compassionate, the master has done so many things, and now An Xiaoyu has to educate their cultivators to be born, they are simply the world's first-class good people.
But in this way, if Shi Ting can really figure these things out, and after communicating with Shi Qianqian, he can win the recognition of the Shi family with some sincerity, then this time things can also go more smoothly, An Xiaoyu plans so.
Of course, if it doesn't work, it won't affect too much.
It's just that from the perspective of cultivators, when the great world of cultivation begins, the empire still needs a lot of people of insight after all. A cultivator like Shi Ting, who had never stood in the dust, made An Xiaoyu have greater expectations for him, expecting him to awaken like Shi Ting, or be more useful.
Sighing, feeling Shi Ting take off and leave, An Xiaoyu smiled self-deprecatingly, turned around and walked out of the hospitality room, and saw Dong Xiaoguan standing at the door and asked, "How is it?" β
"Fool!" An Xiaoyu said: "But fools have stupid methods, and this matter may be interesting." β
Dong Xiaoguan said he didn't understand.
The next day, news came from Leng Yan that the factory had not been found. However, according to the speed of the other party, they should have already begun to act, and they have already shifted the focus of their investigation to the seaside. One night was enough for them to debug the detector, not to mention that they were still in such a hurry.
An Xiaoyu thought about it, and finally planned to take a look for herself. If we can find the factory, not only can we find their trajectory, but since this matter is the nature of the commission of the Central Military Commission, then there is still some official evidence.
Thinking of this, An Xiaoyu told Rong Rong not to go out, and after learning to ask for leave, after staying at the base, he set up a lot of means around, and then flew out, and it didn't take long to arrive near the factory where Leng Yan went for the first time before.
After only two glances, An Xiaoyu laughed out loud, what does it mean to be dark under the lamp? These people are really good at playing a good conspiracy.
Call Leng Yan: "Where do you guess their factory is?" β
Leng Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You found it?" Where is it? β
An Xiaoyu stood in mid-air, looked at the abandoned factory below and said, "It's just under the ground of the first factory you found, you think it's just a faΓ§ade, right?" As a result, they put the production hall deep underground, with only two passages in and out, which is very deep. β
"Rub! No wonder we couldn't find it after searching for a long time! Did they send their probe? β
"It's a coincidence, I'm packing, and it's still too late for you to come back now."
"Good! We'll go back right away! Damn it! Leng Yan couldn't help but scold.
When the people from the underground factory came out with the wrapped detectors, Leng Yan and the two cultivators of the An family happened to arrive at the scene and arrested them. The name of taking them away was, of course, to produce military-grade contraband products, and then the garrison came and searched the entire factory.
After Pan Wu heard the news, he was so angry that he almost flipped the table and immediately cut off contact with the factory here, but the garrison acted very quickly and had already been prepared, and all the investigations were already clear.
Although there is nothing directly related to Pan Wu in these investigation results, it is only a matter of time before he touches the melon, and this little thing is enough for him.
Just when Pan Wu was panicking and wanted to escape, a bill with his business dealings with Lei Yongtong, as well as a list of many Haitian court members, was directly handed over to the Central Military Commission, and the person who submitted this evidence was the commander-in-chief of the Xuanshan Provincial garrison - Shi Qianqian.
An Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing: "This division is really leaking forward, bringing Pan Wu and Haiti, but it didn't involve more people behind him, it seems that he also wants to save face." But come to think of it, this is also the greatest effort that Shiting can do. β
"So what do we do now?" Leng Yan asked.
An Xiaoyu looked at the investigation records of the garrison, stretched out her hand and knocked on the table and said, "Now all the problems are focused on one point, that is, the interests behind these people. I don't believe that the evidence submitted by Shi Qianqian will allow us to find those people further behind, so we only have one direction to investigate. β
"Lei Yongtong?" Leng Yan immediately understood.
"But didn't Lei Yongtong run away?" Dong Xiaoguan asked.
Sneered: "Run? Give him ten dares! The garrison checked so closely, he couldn't run a hundred miles away, he must have used some cunning rabbit to hide the back road, or was hidden by these people. Now that Pan Wu and the Haitian cabinet members have fallen, are you afraid that you won't be able to find this person? β
An Xiaoyu nodded and said: "As long as Lei Yongtong is found, all the clues can be connected, and the key to the conclusion of this matter is in this capitalist." β
"But how the hell are we going to find Lei Yongtong?"
An Xiaoyu smiled coldly: "People who don't choose the way to go in a panic are the most likely to make mistakes." β
