Chapter XXI: Co-optation
"Three days later, David will be crowned, welcome everyone to come and watch the ceremony!" Chen Yuxiang left the next sentence, and then took Yiyi and the three of them to leave the banquet hall and return to the arranged accommodation in the castle.
This banquet was originally to welcome Gianna's sister and brother, but now that the two are gone, the banquet will naturally break up unhappily. The lady walked out of the banquet hall with a 'gloomy' face, and the 'fat' middle-aged man hurriedly followed.
The nobles of the small town 'mingled' with each other and left one by one. The old guy who called himself uncle and grandfather finally stopped slapping himself, and stumbled away with the support of several young clan children.
......
"David, how can you do that! What nonsense are you talking about in front of so many people!" Gianna said in the room, embarrassed.
"Sister, I think this big brother is good!" David said with a grin, "Let him be your fiancé, wouldn't it?"
"Can this kind of thing be used as a joke?" Gianna glared at David and whispered.
"Who is kidding?" David said loudly, "Sister, the eldest brother is so powerful, he is going to become your fiancé, in this Yuzhen City, we don't have to be afraid of that cheap 'girl'! And my sister has not looked down on the eldest brother along the way! You like him in your heart, don't think I can't see it!"
"David, be quiet!" Gianna said quickly, then frowned, and said distressedly, "What's the use of me liking alone? Who knows if people like me or not? Besides, Yiyi is not just his sister......
"Sister, is it normal for a man to have more wives and concubines! My David will definitely have more than one 'woman' in the future! Sister, you are so beautiful, the eldest brother must like it, if you are embarrassed to ask him, I will ask for you!" After David finished speaking, he walked to the 'door' of the room.
"David!David!" Gianna chased after her, but David ran extremely fast, and soon arrived at the 'door' of Chen Yuxiang's room.
"David, you're here!" Yiyi poked her head out and said happily.
"Sister Yiyi, where's the big brother?"
"I just went out, and I said I would be back in a while, do you have something to do with him?"
"It's okay, it's okay! Gianna, who ran over with the corner of her skirt, blushed and said again and again, and ran back with David without saying anything.
......
Outside Lee Young-pyo's mansion.
"Hmm, this Celestial Shadow Spy is really arrogant in Yushu City! Is this still a bit of a secret spy, it's completely a secret spy!" Chen Yuxiang squinted his eyes, looked at the conspicuous sky shadow sign on the lintel of the 'door', and muttered.
Then his body flashed, and he was already in the mansion. The guards at the 'gate' and the beautiful 'waiters' and 'women' in the mansion, none of them could find him.
In a secret room, the three Celestial Shadow secret spies pinched Li Rongpyo's shattered life card, all with sad faces. The three of them were all monks, but they were all in the Qi refining period.
"My lord was killed, what should we do?"
"Who knows!We've been in the Celestial Shadow for so many years, and we've only known one adult, and now that the adult is dead, we say we're the Celestial Shadow's people, who believes it?"
"In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in Yuzhencheng!"
"Hey, my lord is dead, I just want to report this news to my boss, but who can I report it? We know Master Li!"
The Celestial Shadow Spy is an extremely tight organization. In these expatriate Celestial Shadow groups, there is a one-line connection between the subordinates and the superiors. So Li Rongpyo died, and these people didn't know who to look for at at all.
"Shall we go to the palace?" suggested one of the monks.
"The palace? I heard that the little prince is back, and he is fighting with his wife for the inheritance!
The three Celestial Shadow spies who had lost their organization were discussing a way out, when suddenly a figure flashed in front of them, and a javelin-like young man appeared in front of them, looking at them with a smile.
"Who are you?"
The three Celestial Shadow spies were taken aback, and each took out their flying swords, but they didn't do it immediately. The fact that the other party can sneak in here unconsciously shows the strength of the other party.
The young man smiled slightly, took out a token, and shook it twice in front of the three of them.
"My lord!" After recognizing the token, the three of them immediately cried with joy when they found the organization's Celestial Shadow Secret Spy.
......
The Royal Castle, the Lady's Room.
"Sister, what should I do?" the 'fat' middle-aged man said again and again, "Could it be that three days later, really let that kid be crowned?"
"What can I do!" said the lady in a hateful voice, "that young monk is not at all something I can handle! and he is definitely a ruthless man, and if he does not do what he says in three days, he will surely kill us!"
"You say, is he really Gianna's fiancé? I don't look like it at all!" said the 'fat' middle-aged man suspiciously.
"How can a big man like him be Gianna's fiancé? But David said so, and he didn't deny it, what can I do? I think it must be some kind of 'deal' between Gianna and him, otherwise how can he care about this broken city-state?"
"Gianna is so beautiful, if she really gives that person any promise, that person will definitely be tempted!" The 'fat' middle-aged man sighed, "It's a pity that Master Li didn't stop them, but gave his 'life' himself!
"Li Rongpyo's Goryeo 'stick' is purely a foodie!" Thinking that she was 'forced' by the old monk to take advantage, Mrs. couldn't help but hate in her heart, and waved her hand violently, "Big brother, let's go, let's go to Li Rongpyo's house!"
"What are you doing there?" said the fat middle-aged man suspiciously.
"Took my 5 million gold coins and didn't do anything. Naturally, I want to get the 5 million gold coins back. "Madame turned around and walked out of the 'door' and said coldly.
"However, there are three Heavenly Shadow agents in his mansion! can we offend them?" the fat middle-aged man hesitated.
"They were originally just monks in the city, and they were co-opted by Li Rongpyo. Except for Li Rongpyo, who knew that they were Celestial Shadow agents?" Madame sneered, "Let's bring more people, if they dare to resist, kill them directly!"
......
"Hurry up, assemble!"
In the roar of the officers, the city guards of Yu Zhicheng were quickly assembled, and everyone was slapping their shields with heavy swords with their faces shining, looking extremely excited.
"That Goryeo 'stick' turned out to be a fake Celestial Shadow Spy!
"Haha! This guy has been in our Yuzhen City all these years, but he has scavenged a lot of wealth! This time, he wants to make a lot of money!"
"Madame eats 'meat', let's drink soup with it! Who let this guy be unlucky and killed?"
The city guards in Yuzhicheng were only 5 thousand-strong teams, and at this time, in order to raid Li Rongpyo's mansion, three thousand-strong troops were dispatched, and only two thousand-strong troops remained. Under the leadership of the officers, 3,000 city guards screamed and rushed towards Li Rongpyo's mansion.
"What are you doing? This is Lord Li's mansion!" a guard outside the 'gate' of Li Rongpyo's Mansion shouted at the sight of the shiny armor soldier rushing over.
"Whew!" "Whew!"
A few flashes of swords flashed, and several guards in front of the 'gate' were all split in half, and the warrior who shot showed his figure and shouted: "Li Rongpyo, the 'stick' son of Goryeo, pretended to be a secret agent of the Celestial Empire, and he has been killed. Madame has an order, raid the Li Mansion! Brothers, rush!" After speaking, he rushed into the 'door' first.
"Whew!" the thousands of soldiers let out a roar of excitement and rushed towards the wide gate. Several beautiful 'waiters' and 'women' who were stunned in the outer courtyard were divided into bodies by 'chaotic' knives in an instant.
"Who is presumptuous here!" With a cold drink, a huge spiritual power light cluster flew out of the backyard and exploded in the crowd. At that time, more than a dozen heavily armored soldiers could not dodge and were blown up several feet, a few unlucky ones died of exhaustion at that time, and the rest were seriously injured.
The figure of a monk swept out of the backyard and landed in front of everyone. A faint oppression emanated, and under the influence of this pressure, the forward momentum of the three thousand city guards was also paused.
"Hatch, you dare to resist!" A cold 'woman' voice sounded, and the lady walked in surrounded by more than a dozen Yu Shu monks, looking at the monk coldly.
"Madam, although Master Li is dead, this mansion is still the property of our Celestial Shadow! What do you mean by rushing in like this! Do you want to bear the wrath of the entire Celestial Shadow?" the monk named Hatch looked at Madame and said with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Hmph! Li Rongpyo pretended to be a secret agent of the Celestial Empire, and now he has been ambushed! The people's fat and ointment he has looted over the years should also belong to me and the people! Nian You three are also my people, and you are 'blinded' by Li Rongpyo, as long as you are obedient to me, then everything is easy to say! Otherwise, Hatch, do you really think that I dare not kill you?!"
"Madam, although Li Rongpyo is dead, I am still here! This Celestial Shadow property is not something that anyone can take away if they want to!" A clear laugh rang out.
Behind him, a figure flashed, and a javelin-like young man appeared in the compound, looking at his wife with a smile.
"It's you again!Didn't I promise you about David's coronation??, what's your business?" Seeing the young man in front of her, Mrs. Jue was almost about to run away, gritting her teeth and saying angrily.
Although she knew that she was not the opponent of the other party, she couldn't help but be mad when she saw that the other party had come to 'meddle' in this matter again!
Isn't that too much of a bully?
"What's the matter with me? Hudge, you tell him, what's the matter with me!"
"Master Li has violated the rules of the organization and has been executed by my family! Now this Celestial Shadow Group in Zhicheng is temporarily under the control of my family!"
In such a short period of time, the three of them lost their organization of the Heavenly Shadow Secret Spy, and hugged Chen Yuxiang's big 'leg' again, how could they not be happy?
"Are you the one of the Celestial Shadows?" said Madame in astonishment, and the officers who rushed in first also changed their faces. They killed people with their own hands.
"Madam, as the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, everyone is a relative anyway, and I won't delve into today's matter. Chen Yuxiang smiled lightly, "But after all, this is my Heavenly Shadow's territory, and it would be too shameful for you to bring people in like this, and it would be too shameful for me!"
"I'm sorry, I 'made a mistake'!" After a moment of silence, the lady gritted her teeth, bent down slightly to Chen Yuxiang, and turned away.
"Huh!"
The three thousand city guards were also well-trained, and they retreated without waiting for the officer's orders.
......
"My lord, will you just let them go?" said Hatch, looking at the corpse on the ground, a little unwillingly.
"Well, that's it! You and the two of them, hurry up and sort out the cash in the mansion!"
Moments later, inside the chamber.
"My lord, it's all here!" said the three of them with their heads bowed respectfully, "There are about 15 million gold coins in total!"
"This old guy is very good at looting!" Chen Yuxiang looked at the heavy bags in front of him, and also smiled slightly. 15 million gold coins, Yu Zhen's royal family may not be able to earn so much in ten years!
"Okay, I'll take this money with some use, so I'll take it!" Chen Yuxiang stretched out his hand, and all the bags disappeared.
His storage ring was big enough to fit into a hill.
"My lord, just use it! These riches are originally the grown-ups!" the three of them said one after another.
"Hehe! This is a reward for you! you can divide it equally!" Chen Yuxiang nodded, stretched out his hand, and a small pile of intermediate spirit stones immediately appeared on the table. This medium-grade spirit stone is worth 1,000 gold coins. The value of this pile of spirit stones is far more than 15 million gold coins!
"Thank you, sir, thank you!" the three of Hatch said with their eyes lit up, and thanked them again and again.
"Hehe!" Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly, his body flashed, and he was gone.
