Chapter Seventy-Six: Ten Mile Xiang Tea House Hides Adultery
Murong Xiuli saw that a good opportunity had appeared, and hurriedly patted his chest and said to Murong Guangzong: He himself is dedicated to the head of the lord and the horse, and no matter which division he joins, he is willing to swear allegiance to the death and do his best!
Murong Xiuli's statement, which seemed to be loyal, but was actually muddying the waters, had instead awakened Murong Guangzong's suspicious and untrustworthy nature! Now he began to feel that not only should he not be partial to those two divisions, but he should also pay attention to properly checking and balancing them!
So, after a little thought, he announced on the spot: "From now on, the Night Owl Society will establish a third division, I think it will be called the "New Yan Division"!" He looked at Murong Xiuli, and said: "Herusu is up to the task, and he is now appointed as the leader of the New Yan Division, commanding this group!" Murong Xiuli heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
In this way, Murong Xiuli relied on his extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, and as soon as he "joined the gang", he sat on the chair of the big leader of the Night Owl Society—nominally, he was on an equal footing with the veteran Alec and Yuri Jiang! In any case, this was a good start for him to further undercover and investigate the hidden situation in the future!
The next day, Murong Ying, the head of the Night Owl Society, sent someone to call Murong Xiuli over. This immediate boss explained to him the main responsibilities and tasks of the newly established New Yan Division - this team usually focuses on strengthening training, and can be used as a support force for the other two divisions if necessary. In the final analysis, this new Yan Division is a reserve army.
For such an arrangement, Murong Xiuli didn't care very much. In this meeting, he secretly paid attention to Murong Yingzong......
This Murong Yingzong is the younger brother of Murong Guangzong's concubine, this person has a good appearance, is graceful, and very handsome! On the surface, Murong Guangzong employs people nepotism, and actually puts a layman in an important position in charge of the Night Owl Society!
However, on top of practical considerations, the generation of heroes Murong Guangzong is definitely not such a simple and hasty person to consider problems......
Because in fact, the power of Murong Yingzong, the head of the Night Owl Society, is only equivalent to the modern secretary general - just responsible for conveying Murong Guangzong's instructions and coordinating some trivial matters in the Society!
In the situation where the general leader is virtually non-existent, the current various divisions of the Night Owl Society actually perform their own duties and are not subordinate to each other! Except for the newcomer Murong Xiuli, Alec and Yurijiang are each specialized in one division and have a monopoly on power, and they are both out-and-out powerful figures in the open and in the dark!
In the face of such a power distribution pattern of the Night Owl Society, Murong Xiuli was indifferent and resigned himself to it! Seeing that he was obviously in the middle of power, he was also happy to be at ease-he boldly let go at the beginning, and handed over the daily training of the division to the two right-hand men Li Ming and Zhaoliang.
And that Li Ming and Zhao Liang are Shi Ming and Ying Yu, who came to help in disguise and under a pseudonym!
Murong Xiuli himself has nothing to do and is light, and the sky-high price is to go shopping in the east and slip around in the west - pretending to be a hanger and not in shape!
On the one hand, he did this to dispel the suspicions of some people vying for power and profit, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to contact some people in order to wait for the opportunity to find out the news. And Murong Guangzong was originally quite loose in his command - he valued his subordinates more on talent and loyalty than on conscientiousness.
The first person Murong Xiuli wanted to get close to was Alec, who had always been like the shadow of Murong Guangzong! He felt that with Alec's rich and unique experience, he must be very clear about what Murong Guangzong was doing......
Alec has been following Murong Guangzong for a long time, and he is very trusted and reused, so he likes to put on old qualifications at every turn-especially for those who are new to the old and sell the old...... In response to this characteristic of him, Murong Xiuli often "humbly" asked him for advice, invited him to eat and drink, and held him comfortably!
Because of this, only a month has passed, and Alec has already regarded Murong Xiuli as his own nephew, and he is unguarded and very relieved of him.
......
On this day, Murong Xiuli carried a roast duck in his arms and two bottles of "Transparent Bottle Fragrance" old wine in his hands - and came to Alec's residence in high spirits...... Just when the two of them were drinking and drinking and their temples were hot, suddenly, from Alec's mouth, Murong Xiuli, heard a very suspicious news!
So what kind of suspicious news is it?
Alec, who was already drunk, whispered to him with a big tongue, "Little nephew, here's news - your uncle and me...... It's easy not to reveal it to others!" Alec's small eyes slipped around a little alertly, and then continued: "You know, right? The big boss of the Stygian Swallow Division, Yuri Jiang, is a guy who is arrogant on the outside and compassionate on the inside!"
Next, listening to Alec's muttering for a while, Murong Xiuli finally understood a situation: on the fourth or fourteenth day of the lunar month recently, there must be one of the days, Yulijiang has to make a special trip to the "Shilixiang" teahouse on the outskirts of Wushan Town!
According to Alec's speculation, he thinks that looking at Yurijiang's sneaky appearance, he must be secretly hooking up with someone! However, based on the information available at present, it is still difficult to make a judgment - what kind of person is that treacherous person repeatedly meeting with when he goes to the teahouse to taste tea, and what is the matter?
When it comes to Yu Lijiang, Murong Xiuli really doesn't like him from the bottom of his heart! So, why is this?
It turned out that for Yu Lijiang, the boss of the Stygian Yan Division, just looking at his respectful appearance, it could be seen at a glance that he was definitely not a good person at all!
On his furrowed, old orange-peeled face, there was a one-eyed one that shimmered with a cold light from time to time—always deliberately squinting every now and then...... And his crippled left eye is still wearing an eye patch all the time - it always gives people the feeling that the city is extremely deep and inaccessible!
This Yurijiang, the weapon he is used to is also very strange! It is a black iron rod that looks like an extra-long femur, with a sharp spike at the end - it is said that this thing is called "Poisonous Stinger Bone Staff"!
