Xu Yuan glanced at the roll-shaped paper secret report in front of him and was slightly surprised.

Unexpected the efficiency of this work,

It was not Zhou Chen who accidentally handed over this secret to him, but the steward.

He ordered Zhou Chen to do this matter, and with Zhou Chen's idle work state with nothing to do now, most of them would not miss this opportunity to be attentive first, but the fact is that this secret report was not sent by Zhou Chen.

Then there is only one reason left.

The procedures do not match, Zhou Chen has no right to meddle in the Black Scale Guard, let alone the intelligence agency of the Xiangguo Mansion.

In this way, this matter is somewhat interesting.

There are many intelligence systems in Xiangguofu, and the Black Scale Guard from Shadow is just one of them.

The Cheonan Chamber of Commerce's subordinate offices, such as Goolan, restaurants, and various pawnshops and banks, also have the function of collecting intelligence.

The top gives orders, the information is collected below, the useless ones are eliminated by filtering layer by layer, the useful ones are left, and finally the summarized information is transmitted back in ciphertext, and the person who receives these contacts turns out to be a mansion steward.

The power is greater than he imagined.

But immediately, Xu Yuan was also relieved.

The influence of the manga and anime I watched in my previous life is still somewhat ingrained.

made him subconsciously feel that in an extraordinary world, the power in his hands must be equal to his own strength.

However, the reality of cultivation talent and management talent will not be linked, if you really let a group of laymen with a head full of muscles to manage the industry, even the biggest family business may have to be lost.

This kind of power structure is quite stable for the upper class, and the stewards of various industries of the family are like eunuchs in the court in the previous life.

Reaching out to take the paper scroll of the secret report, Xu Yuan was about to open it to take a look, but found that there was a thin layer of Yuan Qi fluctuations on it, as well as some simple formation patterns circulating.

After carefully perceiving the formation on the surface of the paper scroll, Xu Yuan's eyes became a little strange.

This is....

Combination lock?

When the little old man saw Xu Yuan take it, he immediately smiled flatteringly without any pause:

"Third son, if this secret report is opened directly or violently, it will be automatically shattered, and it will only be opened by special means."

Xu Yuan glanced at him: "Will you solve it?" ”

The formation can still be used like this, it's interesting.

Steward Li rubbed his hands:

"You're just joking, how can the little old man be able to unravel the secret lines of the Black Scale Guard, and these secret reports are just a hand."

Saying,

He glanced sideways at the shadow following him.

It seems that such a thing as a secret report is only handled by these mortal stewards to classify and keep it, and to check the authority.

I think it should be to prevent these mortal stewards from leaking information after being ecstasy.

Xu Yuan directly threw the secret guard to the shadow in the rear;

"Untie."

Ying'er took it silently, and didn't care about Xu Yuan's mind and soul observation, and directly untied the formation pattern on it, and handed it back to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan took back the secret report, Yuan Qi entered his eyes, the blood in his eyes flashed, and while browsing, he asked casually to the little old man:

"The pills from the mansion are being picked up from you?"

His elixir is gone, and he doesn't have a little green bottle, so he can only take care of Xiangguo's father's industry.

"The money and pills in the mansion are indeed in charge of the little old man." Steward Li's eyes rolled around when he heard this, and he laughed in a low voice: "It's just a son, the things in the treasury are all things in the house, and the little old man doesn't dare to act rashly......"

"Don't be nervous."

Xu Yuan glanced at him, knowing that the other party felt that his third son was going to fight the autumn wind here again, and said softly:

"Soon my father's order will come down, you go and see if there is any elixir in the warehouse that I need."

Hearing this, Steward Li smiled undeniably:

"Okay, Childe, what do you say you need?"

Xu Yuan casually reported several pills that he needed now.

Steward Li's face directly darkened by more than half.

These things, the four-grade merging realm in the mansion can't get a few grains a year, and the three sons are counted according to the bottle with one mouth.

I made up my mind in my heart, it was naturally best for Lord Xiangguo to order to come down, if there was no order, then he would have to avoid these three sons in the near future.

Thinking so, Steward Li's tone was still humble:

"Little Lao'er went to fetch it with you, do you have anything else to order?"

As they spoke, the three of them had already come out of the basement, and the sky outside was blue.

Xu Yuan squinted, glanced at the nursing home on duty outside the secret room, and asked softly with a slight groan:

"I once arranged for someone to find someone named Qin Mo, do you know about this?"

“........”

Hearing this, the corner of Steward Li's eyes jumped.

Because of this incident, Xue Yong, the genius at the peak of the iron body, was killed, can he, the person in charge, not know?

After a second of silence, Steward Li said cautiously:

"Yes."

"Is there any progress?"

“.. Yes. ”

Affirmatively, but in a somewhat weak tone.

Knowing this, Xu Yuan sighed slightly:

"Did you do it?"

He remembers that the order was just to monitor and follow.

Steward Li gently explained:

"The man was quite alert and wanted to flee when he found out that he was being followed, and our men had no choice but to do it."

"The result of your actions is to let him escape?"

“... Be. Steward Li observed Xu Yuan's expression.

But Xu Yuan had no expression on his face, and his tone was still flat:

"Tell me about the process carefully."

Steward Li carefully considered his words and said softly:

"After you ordered it to come down, Xiao Lao'er learned that he immediately began to make arrangements, and in the days when you were in retreat, we found this person in the east of the city, but this person was quite tricky, and the several Quenching Guards who found him at that time were not his opponents at all, and by the time the rest of the Mansion's Guards arrived, this person had disappeared."

"Haven't heard from him since?" Xu Yuan's voice was warm and gentle.

"Once...," Steward Li said stiffly.

"Let's talk about it."

"We tracked down this person in Changhong Valley, more than 20 miles outside the West City, but... But his strength is very strong, but the eighth-rank quenching vein cultivation, and the two seventh-grade quenching bone powerhouses are not his opponents. ”

"Annihilation?"

"Escape back one."

"........" Xu Yuan.

After being quiet for a second, Xu Yuan looked at Steward Li and asked softly in puzzlement:

"Why don't you send six more products to go? I remember that there are not a few sixth-grade peaks among my guards, and there should also be five-rank soul condensing realms in the mansion. ”

Hearing this question, Steward Li twitched his cheeks and explained in a low voice:

"Third son, although the monthly salary of the entire Jingjiang Mansion is distributed by Xiao Lao'er, Xiao Lao'er has no right to directly call the nursing home above the Bone Cultivation Realm, and your guards can't be too far away from you according to the rules.

"And... And who knew that this fang could kill people beyond the ranks? ”

Speaking of this, Steward Li paused and coughed lightly:

"But don't worry, Childe, there is only one exit from Changhong Valley, and I have reported this matter to the General Mansion, and after agreeing, I have now transferred three Iron Body Realm powerhouses to wait for him outside the valley mouth."
