Chapter 889: Zhao'an
Under the leadership of Cong Shan, the group continued to move forward, this is a hidden cave built in the interior of the mountain, since entering the cave, although it is very spacious and there are lights everywhere, but Song Li can feel that in the darkness, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them tightly, just like bats living in the cave. [No pop-up novel network]
Song Li didn't really show his true qi to investigate those who were staring at them in the shadows, since he was here to recruit An, Song Li would show enough sincerity, not to mention that even if these people really had evil intentions towards themselves, Song Li was not afraid.
After turning a corner, I finally saw a stone door, and in front of the stone door stood a person.
Congshan's face was very ugly, and when she saw that person, her brows were even tighter, and when she came to that person, her tone was unhappy.
"Leng Feng, I brought them in, what do you mean those people have been sneaking behind us in the shadows......"
Congshan's complexion returned to her usual cold appearance, and there was a slight arrogance in her voice.
"Hmph, since you are a lone prisoner of the Shadow Killing Assassin Group, you should know the rules of our Shadow Killing, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the forbidden place of the headquarters. β
The smile on Leng Feng's face has not gone away, even when he said this, his tone was calm, but his words were not so kind.
"They are here to see my master, of course I want to bring them here, why don't you let the master and his old man drag his sick body out of here to visit the doctor?"
"You...... Hmph, did you bring an official messenger to see Master, and you are still the chief arrester of the six doors?"
Leng Feng sneered, his eyes turned directly to Huge, as the chief catcher of the six gates, Huge could be said to be a thorn in the side of the entire Shadow Assassin Regiment, Leng Feng naturally recognized him.
"Not only is there the chief catcher of the six gates, but also I, the crown prince of the Holy Lion Empire. β
At this time, Song Li took a step forward indifferently and looked at Leng Feng playfully, but there was a little coercion in his eyes, which went directly into Leng Feng's mind.
No matter what he said, Leng Feng, who had a smile on his face, suddenly frowned tightly, and at this time, it seemed that a huge mountain had been pressed down in his mind, which he couldn't see or touch, but the power was there, and his whole person seemed to be crushed by this kind of pressure.
In fact, this Leng Feng's strength is not bad, he is only in his thirties, but he is already the strength of Yuanying's peak, but Song Li, who gave him coercion at this time, is already the strength of the fourth layer of his clone, and he has no ability to resist.
After a while, Song Li finally withdrew this coercion, and Leng Feng's pressure suddenly decreased, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh in his heart.
"Song Li, you are Song Li......"
Leng Feng couldn't believe it, after all, as the crown prince of the Holy Lion Empire, how could he dare to come directly to their lair of the assassin group, was Song Li too confident in his own strength, or did he simply look down on the shadow killing assassin group.
"Hmph, let's go......"
Cong Shan ignored him, turned his head to Song Li and the others, and then turned around and entered the door.
There is no obstacle all the way, and there is no one to follow him, since it is an assassin group, the ability of information and intelligence is also very strong, and now that the news of Chen Yuran's death in the hands of Song Li is also known, they naturally speculate on Song Li's true strength now, and they are still quite afraid of Song Li.
Came to the main hall of the Shadow Kill headquarters, and saw a stone table with a diameter of about five zhang, there were several people sitting upright, and above the right seat, there was a white-haired old man, Song Li only needed a glance, he could see that this old man actually had the strength of the third layer of the clone, and couldn't help but make Song Li quite frightened, he thought that Cong Shan should be the number one master of Shadow Killing now, but he didn't expect that there was an old man who was higher than Cong Shan's cultivation, and he thought that this old man should also be Cong Shan's master.
Sure enough, as Song Li thought, Cong Shan saw that this person's always gloomy face naturally unfolded, came to the old man's side, respectfully saluted, and then whispered a few words beside the old man.
The old man's expression didn't change much, but he glanced at Song Li deeply, and it was fleeting.
After a while, when Congshan and the old man finished whispering, the old man stood up tremblingly, and the other people on the stone table also stood up.
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from righteousness......"
Although he didn't make a big salute, he just leaned over slightly, but he was also surprised by the other elders of the shadow killing.
"Old orphan, you are ......"
"Senior brother, they are officials, we are bandits, and we are enemies of each other, even if he is the prince, why should we worship him......"
The elders couldn't help but immediately dissuade him.
"Senior, I just came to see my friend's master today as an alchemist, so I don't need to be polite. β
Song Li also immediately dissuaded, for him, people respect me a foot and I respect people, since people can put down their bodies at such an age, Song Li will not hold himself in a high position and look down on people.
And when Cong Shan heard Song Li call her his friend, the tips of her ears couldn't help but move slightly, and her face was a little moved, but she didn't speak.
"Your Highness's ability to spare Yun'er's life is also a great favor to my Assassin Corps, and I naturally want to give a salute to express my gratitude. β
Congyi's tone was also indifferent, although he had the cultivation of the fourth layer of the clone, but at this time he had been poisoned into the bone marrow, his whole body was weak, and it was very difficult to stand.
"I think he just wants to use Congshan to enter our assassin group and wipe out our shadow assassin group, hmph, it's really a good calculation. β
An elder on the side snorted coldly, his eyes looked at Song Li coldly, Song Li hadn't noticed him before, at this time he jumped out, Song Li couldn't help but look at it, and immediately smiled in his heart, it seems that as Congshan expected, it is indeed not easy to recruit An Ying to kill the assassin group.
"Who are you, my boss is talking to this old-timer, what is the matter with you, and stay there. β
Seeing that this person was not good at speaking, he was not ambiguous, pursed his lips, and said to the man with disdain.
"My name is Duan Qiushan, that's the second elder of this shadow killing, how can I not speak. β
Duan Qiushan's eyes widened, his beard blown, and he seemed to take it for granted.
At this time, a transmission from Congshan appeared in Song Li's ears, telling him that if he wanted to recruit An, this Duan Qiushan would be the biggest resistance.
"It's okay to talk, but it's not okay to fart, that's disrespectful to our boss and seniors. β
Huge and deep in the essence of Song Li's language, it doesn't matter the occasion, this Duan Qiushan really annoys him very much, and he can't help but scold at this time.
"You, how do you curse. Duan Qiushan's face turned red, he had a very high status in the Shadow Killing Assassin Regiment, and he was second only to Congyi, although it was Congshan who took over Congshan's position as a prisoner in the end, but when it came to status and influence in the Shadow Killing, Congshan was far from being compared with this Duan Qiushan, and he had never suffered such an insult, not to mention that he was in the headquarters of Shadow Killing, which was even more difficult for him to accept.
"Akiyama, Your Highness is here, and you can be regarded as our guest, don't be suspicious. Your Highness, please take care of your people as well. β
It is a little unsightly from the righteousness, on the surface it is to reprimand Duan Qiushan, but in fact, it is more to blame the giant, but it is not directly expressed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, listen to what Shan said that you have the heart to recruit our shadow assassin group, I don't know how to recruit security?"
Congyi sat down under Congshan's support, and Song Li also sat in front of this stone table, the two sides did not interact too much, and directly launched a negotiation posture, which is also Congyi's no way, his own health is not good, and he has been worried about the future of shadow killing after his death, at this time, Song Li proposed the matter of Zhao'an, for shadow killing, this is a great thing, although Congyi is more than two hundred years old, indifferently old, but he can't help but look forward to it, if this matter can be solved, he can also be considered to be able to die with peace of mind.
"I also told Congshan about this, under the six doors of my Mingce Mansion, it is divided into two capture halls on the left and right, and the hall masters of the two capture halls are the two beside me, and I also want to set up a shadow hall, the left capture hall is bright, the shadow hall is dark, and the right capture hall is in the middle of the mediation and planning, probably such a division of labor, and your shadow killing is very suitable for this shadow hall, the hall master of this shadow hall is naturally Congshan, of course, the number of shadow kills is still relatively large now, and it is impossible for a shadow hall to accommodate all of them, and some people need to be transferred to the Ming Ce army. β
Song Li told Congshan about his plan, but there was nothing to hide, and there was nothing to hide, which was a good thing for both parties.
"By the way, the hall master of the Shadow Hall is an official from the third grade, and the other official positions are descending in order. β
Even Congyi couldn't help but light up, he didn't care about the third-grade official, the key is that the six doors are now directly subordinate to the Mingce Mansion, which seems to be a second-grade institution, but the real power is very great, and the Mingce Mansion has always been controlled by the various ministries of the imperial court, and is only under the jurisdiction of Song Li, so there is no need to worry about other officials in the imperial court looking for trouble.
"Ahem, these old men are not worried, what the old man is worried about is that the imperial court can really not ask about the murder cases committed before our shadow killing, you must know that there are many court officials who died under our shadow killers, join us and really accept the court's recruitment, Your Highness, how do you ensure that those officials' relatives and colleagues do not trouble us." β
Congyi's words are indeed sincere, Song Li also knows that in the past hundred years, there are still many officials of the imperial court who have died in the hands of the shadow killing, but Song Li also knows that the shadow killing takes over the task, especially the task of assassinating the court officials, which is extremely strict, and they never provoke the good officials of the Qing Dynasty, even if they pay more money for such tasks, they will not accept them, and those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the shadow killing will not hesitate to take it, although this is also contrary to the law of the imperial court, but since it is Zhao'an, after setting a bottom line, the rest do not have to worry too muchγ
"Guarantee?haha, my Song Li is enough to guarantee that I still have some weight in speaking in front of the Holy Emperor. β
Song Li laughed, slightly arrogant, but this was also to reassure Congyi.
Congyi then remembered that although Song Xinghai was sitting in this country now, it was Song Li who fought the country a few years ago, and if you want to say who the Holy Emperor listens to the most today, it is of course this son who laid the country for himself, which everyone in the entire Holy Lion Empire knows.
"Okay, I'm a little abrupt just now, with Song Li's son, I should believe in His Royal Highness, I will shadow kill and accept the imperial court's recruitment......"
Congyi also made a decision immediately, and didn't listen to any minds of the elder group at all, if it was Congshan, some people might not be convinced, but Congyi, the last lonely prisoner who established the Shadow Assassin Group with his own hands, spoke in the Shadow Killing, and no one dared to disobey, even Duan Qiushan.
Cong Shan was stunned, with the support of his own master, it was much easier to do a tricky matter, and Cong Shan had already made plans to lobby several elders separately, but there was no need at this time
