Chapter 21: The Skull and Bones Society: The Past Is Like Smoke
Li Yuxuan went to the border town to have a big meal, and waited on the way back, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to see Changkong Wuji leading the team over.
"What's the news in the town?" "Sky Mowgli slowed down, letting Li Yuxuan follow.
"No, the slaves didn't enter the town at all. Li Yuxuan looked at Changkong Wuji, and suddenly said, "I didn't expect the Changkong City Lord to come out so soon. β
Changkong Wuji stopped, stared at Li Yuxuan with sharp eyes, and asked, "Oh? Why?"
"The slaves did not enter the town, they must have been in the ranch of the Great General, that is, this qiΔ is likely to come from the conspiracy of the Great General. What is he for? I'm afraid it's just for the Sky City Lord. Li Yuxuan's calm gaze greeted him, and he talked eloquently: "I remember that when we came, one of us rode over, and it should be going to Marseille." I thought he would gather his troops tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and return to Marseille with you. β
Changkong Wuji asked again: "Why didn't you stop going to the ranch at that time?"
Li Yuxuan said lightly: "I also confirmed it after inquiring about the news in the town, but even so, what difference does it make if you go to the ranch or not." On this frontier, it is not easy for the general to keep you. Since the general let you go back, I'm afraid that I am confident, and I am not afraid that you will make waves again. β
Changkong Wuji sighed and said, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and Yuxuan is probably better than the blue." You're right, I'm afraid I don't have a chance to turn the tables. But I'm afraid things are not so simple, my second brother doesn't have that scheming, nor does he have that ability, I'm afraid it has something to do with the Skull Society. β
Seeing Li Yuxuan's puzzled expression, Changkong Wuji explained: "In the early years, I was the youngest, and I used the power of the Skull and Bones Society to occupy the position of the Lord of Marseille, and later, I didn't want a mysterious organization to enter the upper echelons of the kingdom and begin to resist the power of the Skull and Bones Society, so I knew the mystery and power of the Skull and Bones Society. β
Li Yuxuan asked, "You mean, this time, the skeleton will support your general?"
Changkong Wuji nodded, and said sadly: "Yes, I think that this time, the skeleton will not only take revenge on me, but also help my second brother to ascend to the throne, and the ultimate goal is probably the entire Frankish kingdom." β
Li Yuxuan was a little curious and asked, "This is the second time I've heard you talk about the Skull and Bones Society, what kind of organization did the Skull and Bones Society come from?"
"......" Changkong Wuji looked like he was reminiscing, and his expression fluctuated a little strangely, and he said after a long time: "Actually, I don't know what kind of organization this is." After that incident, I couldn't find the Skull and Bones Society, as if it had disappeared from the continent, or never existed. β
What kind of organization is this, the old man in the dungeon has not said clearly, and the description of Changkong Wuji is even more shocking, Li Yuxuan frowned, and asked, "How did you deal with them? How can you not understand anything at all?"
"A mysterious letter with a skull on it. Changkong Wuji remembered the situation at that time, and still felt a little weird, and said: "There are only some practices written in it, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with various practices." And I just did it, and it worked. β
"It's as simple as that. Li Yuxuan didn't think it was so simple, and sighed: "It's so mysterious that this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, what does the skeleton want? β
Changkong Wuji said depressedly: "I thought so at the beginning, but in the past ten years, I can't find any clues about them." β
The chief guard listened to it very unpleasantly, and finally waited for Li Yuxuan to stop the topic, and hurriedly said, "Maybe the slaves in Dams Town can let us get a city back?"
Li Yuxuan and Changkong Wuji looked at the somewhat proud head of the guard, shook their heads, and rode their horses on.
No one had mentioned this mentions, and it looked fresh, so the chief of the guard hurriedly chased after him and said, "City Lord, should we hurry back and capture the slaves who remained in Dams Town?"
"I want to get back to Dams as soon as possible, have a good meal, and have a good time. Sky Wuji sighed helplessly: "Actually, we have already failed to chase out of Dams Town. β
"Why?" the chief guard looked mighty, but he always knew it later.
"If it weren't for my impulsiveness to rush into the second brother's private ranch, if it wasn't for the second brother's generosity in letting me out, maybe I would have quickly returned to Dams Town and captured the remaining slaves. When the sky was in a desperate situation, he let go, and patiently explained: "When we come and go, it is enough for the Marquis of Bray to set a trap for me to step into." When the time comes, people can't catch it, but it will destroy the business that has been developed in Dams Town for many years. β
"Yes, these are actually the efforts of the Sky City Lord for many years. Li Yuxuan sighed: "If it weren't for the greed of the Great General, who charged high border passage fees to the caravans crossing the border, the commerce of Dams Town would have doubled, and the prosperity of Marseille would have been even higher." However, not everyone can see this, the king of the Franks is decrepit, and if the kingdom falls into the hands of the great general, the consequences will be unimaginable, and our merchant life may be difficult."
Li Yuxuan quietly provoked the love of the long sky and unscrupulous, and there was no trace. Changkong Wuji just threw up the horsewhip sullenly and galloped away.
Under the depression of Changkong Wuji, the speed of the team increased a lot, and when they arrived at Dams Town, it was still early, and it was the hottest time of the day. Marquis Bray was still so polite, as if he had been waiting outside the town, and when he saw Changkong Wuji leading the team, he felt welcomed.
"Sky City Lord, you're back, Danms Town has been closed until now, and I don't dare to lift the ban, just wait for the Sky City Lord to come back!" Marquis Bray looked anxious, but let Sky Wuji froze for a moment.
"Thank you Marquis Bray for your support, and also bother Marquis Bray, let's unblock it now, don't let the merchants have too much opinion. Changkong Wuji ran for more than 100 miles, put down his mind early, politely got up and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Let's find a good place, we have to thank Marquis Bray today." β
Marquis Bray was obviously stunned and asked, "The town has been sealed for so long, and it has been unsealed like this?"
"yes, that's bothering Marquis Bray. Sky Wuji looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'm hungry too." β
"What about those slaves?" Marquis Bray didn't expect the Sky Wuji to be so chic and free, and it was too far from expected, so he couldn't help asking.
"Those slaves turned out to be good seedlings that my second brother fancied, and my brother still cares so much, isn't it, go, find the best Qinglou, I'm a little tired in the past two days, relax." Changkong Wuji said with a smile, and seemed to be a little impatient for the wind and moon in Dams Town.
Marquis Bray had no choice but to disband the team that sealed the town, lead the way in front, and slowly enter the town with Sky Wuji, leaving behind the Scout Brigade of Sky Wuji.
Ye Feng thought for a while, calmly turned back to the scout captain and said, "You guys work hard, carefully monitor the movements around the town and on the road, and report back immediately if there is anything abnormal."
The captain looked at the Sky Wuji and the guards who were slowly moving away, and thought for a while: "This is what I should do, please rest assured Ye Gongzi." β
Ye Feng nodded, and rode up with Li Yuxuan, preparing to fulfill the promise he made to Li Yuxuan last night.
