Chang'an City is very large and magnificent, but it does not have the vigor of Kyoto in the East China Sea, and there is a little silence in the air.

It's an ancient city, called Chang'an, but there hasn't been real peace in recent decades. It used to be the prosperous capital of the world, where there were many outstanding people, and the heroes were like clouds, and it was longed for by countless people, but now the dark tide is surging, and the shady scenes are repeated, and the residents do not even dare to openly discuss gossip.

Shangguan Yi successfully checked his identity and entered the city under the response of his subordinates, looking at everything in this ancient city, he kept sighing in his heart, hoping that what he wanted to do was much more difficult than he imagined.

"Young master, shall we go to find that lord now?" Hengzhi was slightly half a step behind, asking about Shangguan Yi's plans, he was actually seeing this leader for the first time, and he was still a little unsure of the leader's temper and thoughts.

"No, let's get back on our feet. Shangguan Yi shook his head, being too active can only mean that they value this opportunity very much, their vision is not high enough, and their vision is not long-term, and if they take the initiative to come to the door, the other party will definitely not cooperate with them, and they will even find a way to eradicate them afterwards. The reason, of course, is not that he is arrogant, but that he will definitely leave someone to handle when he goes to him, in Zhongzhen, where the infighting is lively, everyone is waiting to catch the other party's handle, and even thinking about how to deduct a black pot for the other party to directly make him have no chance to make a comeback, it doesn't matter what the truth is. Therefore, if they want to take over this matter, they must not come to the door themselves.

In fact, just as Shangguan Yi thought, he didn't do anything else after he arrived in Chang'an City, just stayed in the temporarily rented courtyard to check some of his treasures that they had helped bring here before, and thought about what would happen next.

Wealth and danger in seeking, he has overcome too many difficulties over the years, and he has obtained a lot of treasures, from the ghost capital to Kyoto in the East China Sea, plus he has been in the East China Sea for so long, he has collected a lot of treasures, some are coincidental, and some are deliberately searching. This time to check the treasure is not his whim, he wants to see his own harvest and count his own wealth, but before Mo Qianliu promised to find a blacksmith master to help him forge a sword, provided that he did not find the right person, and he had to bring his own materials and prepare wine for him. He didn't find any reliable masters during this time, so he could only take the metal blocks smelted from the various ores he had worked so hard to prepare and go to the thighs of Mo Qianliu. So now it's just a matter of counting whether you're well prepared and seeing if you need to replenish your inventory.

Shangguan Yi didn't understand the problem of forging swords, and he didn't know how many swords he should use with his body, but the more materials, the better, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cast a sword when the time came. It's just that rare metals are also scarce, and it is not easy to collect them in large quantities, and there are not many people who collect them.

In his own heart, who is not a little genius? What kind of honor is it to have a magic weapon born for himself? When bragging, there will be a lot more capital, and people with ordinary family backgrounds can only stare at it, when lemon essence is sour in the bottom of their hearts. Take a step back and say: Meritorious service, fame, beautiful women, red sleeves and fragrance, divine soldiers in hand, invincible, these three things are the things that most men dream of, you can do without it, but you want to have it. Therefore, many people work hard for it, collect all kinds of materials, look for famous masters to cast weapons, and always think that they can be invincible after having a hand-me-down divine weapon.

So Shangguan Yi actually didn't collect too many things, in addition to the previous piece of snow cold silver, the best materials are only the Starry Night Gold and the Sunrise Meteorite, the weight is not enough, the Starry Night Gold has a weight of ten catties, and the Sunsun Meteorite Iron is only three catties, after refining it with "Piety", the volume is even pitifully small, although there are still some other ores in it, but Shangguan Yi feels that it is still not enough.

When he was thinking about whether to go to the black market in Chang'an City, Hengzhi came in from the courtyard and handed over a small note, which read: After dark, Sunset Restaurant.

"Heh, it seems that he is still in a hurry, so let's stop by the way. Shangguan Yizhen shattered the note, clapped his hands, and stood up, it was not early, so it was better not to disappoint his first customer.

In fact, Shangguan Yi guessed very right, his customers were very anxious, but they were in a hurry, and they did not lose their minds, if Shangguan Yi dared to come to the door, hehe, he was greeted not only by turning his face and not recognizing people, but also by exterminating afterwards. In the deep night of Chang'an, I don't know how many people in the dark killed others and were killed by others. So he heard that the force he went to seemed to have sent someone to pick someone in, he knew that the person who could really take the idea was coming, and then looked at his performance, went back to the station directly and did not go out, waiting for his next instruction, very good, he was a smart person, and then let his personal guards quietly pass the news to them, and made an appointment to meet at the sunset restaurant, which was the place he secretly controlled, no one knew, so there would be no spies, plus he and he were just two guests who went to dinner, and there would be no accidents.

"I've been waiting. When Cao De arrived at the Sunset Restaurant after changing his appearance, Shangguan Yi had been sitting by the window on the second floor for a while, and there was a pot of tea on the table, as if he was watching the sunset while sipping tea.

"You're so Yaxing. Cao De sat down and spoke very calmly, and it was not obvious from this that it was him, but Shangguan Yi still knew who this person was, because Cao De was very confident and ambitious, he indirectly told Shangguan Yi their own identity, but if they wanted to find out, they needed to have a high ability of their subordinates. The people cultivated by Shangguan Yi, who believed in the elite line and sent to Chang'an City, were naturally not mediocre hands, and they also found out about this, and it was this game that would lead to the next development.

"The first time I came to Chang'an City, it was strange to see anything, but personally, I have seen a lot of sunsets, and Chang'an City is very special and beautiful. Shangguan Yi's tone is a detached tone after seeing everything in the world, calm and plain as water.

This kind of bearing is a plus again, if he is a little restrained or flustered in front of Cao De, he will consider the candidate for cooperation again, it is the best policy to be calm and calm like Shangguan Yi, and he is not in a hurry to ask you what is the matter, and even looks like he doesn't care, which is what Cao De wants.

"Yes, the sunset in Chang'an is beautiful, with bleakness and grace. Cao De unexpectedly echoed Shangguan Yi, but it seemed to hint at something, leading the topic to the point.

What the scenery is like, many times depends on the mentality of the viewer, Cao De said this, obviously there is something in his heart, follow this touch, Shangguan Yi will not be far from death.

Yes, this is the pit that Cao De dug for him, he is worried about state affairs and political affairs, but what he needs is a person who does things, this person does not need to know so much, or even can't know so much.

"Let's order. "Shangguan Yi has no intention of talking about it, if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, he wants to kill this person, after all, this is the enemy of the Shangguan family, if he doesn't kill him, he will find a way to kill himself sooner or later, but now is not the time, so he endures. However, he didn't have the heart to be a vassal with this person, and he didn't want to point out the hint in his words, he wanted Cao De to say what he wanted.

"Well, the food here is still remarkable, I recommend a few. Cao De called Xiao Er very skillfully, ordered a few chef's best dishes, and asked for a pot of tea, the tea is cyan Chang'an, it is a specialty of this generation of Chang'an City, it is not a very expensive tea, it is very bitter, Cao De likes this kind of tea very much.

Shangguan Yi can't deny it, anyway, he is not afraid of poison, and it is useless for Cao De to poison, just eat it boldly and boldly, if it is not delicious, scold Cao De, and sarcastically say a few words This person will not care.

The dishes were quickly served, although they were not the dishes that Shangguan Yi often ate, but I have to admit that the dishes that Cao De likes to eat taste really good. These are all home-cooked dishes, even scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but the chefs at this restaurant have a special feel to it, as if it were a new dish, which is great. As for the tea, it is actually not bad, bitter with a hint of sweetness, mixed with some other flavors, as if in this life, many times it is bitter, occasionally sweet, occasionally other tastes.

"Very nice taste. Shangguan Yi was not stingy with the rhetoric of praise and praised a few words.

"Yes, but do you know what I'm coming to you for?" Cao De changed the topic and went directly to today's topic.

"If you don't say it, how do I know what the adults are thinking? But I can guess a thing or two, probably because I can't get used to someone and want to get rid of it, right?" Shangguan Yi stopped his chopsticks, his expression remained unchanged, still light and breezy, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"You are very smart, I like to deal with such people, you should know who I am, and if you do this well, there will be no less benefits. Cao De also calmly drew a big cake for Shangguan Yi, and didn't say what it was.

"Hehe, I believe I can do this, but I don't believe that I can live to get the benefits I deserve. Shangguan Yi expressed his refusal very coldly.

Cao De is a person who is cunning and suspicious, cold-blooded and ruthless, he can do what he says he will do when he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, he can sacrifice a lot of things for his own goals, I believe that he will pay himself so easily, it is better to believe that he can casually pick up the secret book of peerless martial arts, and then soar into the sky.

"As long as you understand what you should and shouldn't do, what you worry about won't happen, after all, if you are strong enough, we still have a lot of cooperation. Cao De said undeniably, if the other party really believed him like this, he wouldn't mind letting the other party know what cruelty was after the fact, but since the other party had already sensed his thoughts, it meant that he was still very sophisticated, and it might be worth treating as a long-term partner.

"What should be done, what should not be done, the guest seems to have something to say, you should know that we are just a transaction, an equal transaction, we will do business with many people, but the priority is different, we value the guest you very much, but you are not the only choice. You can choose us or someone else, and we can choose you or someone else. The transaction is all about personal freedom, and the customer should not make any mistakes. Shangguan Yi's attitude hardened, because Cao De hinted at him that they would work for Cao De alone in the future and only help him alone. But this is obviously impossible, not only because the purpose of this organization is to create Shangguan Yi himself instead of Cao De, but for this reason alone, Shangguan Yi can still disobey the yang and the yin, and kill Cao De by concealing the sky and the sea, the key is that it can't develop like this, and it is easy to be used as cannon fodder or shield, Chang'an City is a little bigger, this Ye Bianzhou will be overturned, this is obviously not a result that Shangguan Yi can accept.

"Your ambitions are not small. Cao De's eyes narrowed, this person's statement is very interesting, what is the so-called difference in priority implying to make a deal with many people to accomplish the purpose of making a living in Kyoto, and who to help according to priority when the task conflicts?

"If you don't have ambition, you don't have motivation, and you won't be here, whether it's me or you. Shangguan Yi's words are also full of deep meaning, implying that Cao De's own ambition is not small.

"Oh, then what are you for?" Cao De asked with some surprise, this person was a little unexpected and controlled, should he use it?

"Guest, have you ever heard of the Dire of the East China Sea?" Shangguan Yi seemed to mention an extraneous remark, but it didn't seem to be a digression.

"I don't think you have that kind of background. Cao De shook his head, he naturally knew, although not much.

"No, no, no, the reason why Dire is strong is not because they have a strong background, but because there are people behind them. Shangguan Yi showed a mysterious smile, hinting at Cao De.

"What do you mean......" Cao De's pupils shrank, and he seemed to understand Shangguan Yi's intentions, he was looking for a reliable sword that could help him eradicate dissidents, but the sword was not a sword, but a person, a person who was looking for a partner, a reliable backer, just like the other party said, the transaction was fair.

"That's right, that's what I mean, although it's still a little hot, but I believe that the guest is not the carp in the pond, and I want to give a hand, and the guest should not let me down. Shangguan Yi smiled and nodded, snatched the initiative back from Cao De's hands, and turned himself into the initiative, because Cao De couldn't figure out his own power, but he understood his situation.

"Heh, interesting, is it lucky?" Cao De sneered, a trace of excitement rose in his eyes, and he didn't mean to refuse.

"That's right. Shangguan Yi nodded, isn't it just gambling luck, in Cao De's opinion, I'm afraid that he and Shangguan Yi are weak young wolves, and if you want to become a beast, you still need chance and strength, support each other, bet that the other party can help you go to the end, the risk is very high, but it is also worth betting, because he and Shangguan Yi have a certain foundation, plus both of them are very smart, cunning and careful, so there is still hope.

"Good. Cao De handed over an envelope from under the table, and then said: "The deal is reached, I hope you don't let me down, of course I won't let you down, I still understand the truth of the exchange of courtesies." With that, he checked out and left.

Shangguan Yi put the envelope in his sleeve, and waited for Cao De to leave for a while before slowly getting up and leaving the sunset restaurant.
