"Dead?!" said Sima Zhaoxing with a frown as he looked at the person who came to report on a manor in a remote town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes. The messengers sent word that the bodies of the six of them had been found. The warrior who reported paused, and continued, "According to the intelligence, four of them were seriously injured and killed themselves by biting through the poison sac! The other two were killed by sharp blades and slitting their throats!"

"Did you say who did it?"

"There are no direct leads. However, according to the intelligence, it should have been done by Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Fuxue!"

"Hmm. Sima Zhaoxing pondered for a while and waved his hand, "Go down." ”

"Yes. ”

"Young people now, it's amazing!" Sima Zhaoxing came back to his senses after half a ring, and said to himself.

At the same time, a masked man and woman in a cyan robe surrounded the manor. Leading the team: A young man wearing a brocade robe with gold trim on a white background and a golden mask...... That's right!

"Is this it?!" Gu Yi looked at the manor below and said lightly.

"Yes. It was a beggar in tattered clothes who spoke, with a rebellious face. He is the 'evil beggar' Jin Shiyi who has not been seen for a long time!

Originally, there were no beggar gangs in the Purple Gold Continent, but since five years ago, people suddenly discovered that there was a gang composed of all beggars active in the rivers and lakes.

They are not tightly organized, but the whereabouts of the gang leaders and elders are mysterious, and only the core members know their appearance and identity.

Although the number of beggars was staggering from the very beginning, the forces of all parties really didn't care too much about the beggars.

The main reason is that the comprehensive strength of the beggars is too poor!

So far, the main task of the beggar gang is to unify all the beggars within the Zijin Empire, divide the begging territory or organize some business to make a living, and they have not yet shown too strong combat effectiveness!

In addition, the beggar gang did not extend their hand to the traditional Jianghu forces, and the people in the rivers and lakes gradually regarded the beggar gang as a joke and did not pay too much attention to it!

How did they know that the leader of this beggar gang was none other than the 'evil beggar' Jin Shiyi!

In addition to his accident, Gu Yi also sent a lot of people to establish the entire framework of the Beggar Gang, and before everyone knew it, the Beggar Gang had become the most sensitive gang force in the entire Purple Gold Continent in terms of intelligence and information!

Who would have known that the beggars he usually looked down on actually had a set of strict methods for collecting and obtaining intelligence, and had the fastest way to deliver it.

They don't even know that most of the news in "Zijin Chronicles" is sold by beggars. It's just that as the two sides of the tacit understanding, no one knows this secret except for the core person!

Gu Yi is very concerned about the beggar gang! Although he has planned to devote himself to exterminating all the beggars after he becomes the ruler of the human race! This does not mean that he does not attach importance to the beggar gang that he has established now!

Although in the various planes traversed in the previous life, the strength of the beggar gang belonged to the middle and lower reaches most of the time, but there was one thing that never shook its status: the ability to gather intelligence!

Even those intelligence organizations established by the government such as 'Six Gates' often need to use beggars to help their leaders gather intelligence!

After all, as a ubiquitous beggar, it is difficult for people to be wary! What's more, beggars who collect intelligence do not need special training, as long as there are professional personnel to summarize what they have seen and heard in a day, and then professional personnel can analyze it!

Moreover, the beggar's range of activities is fixed, and most of the time it is collected from small pieces of information. Therefore, no matter how secret the spies are, it is impossible to block all the clues, and it is even more difficult to chase away the beggars around them!

After all, the 'profession' of beggar is all over the towns of the entire Purple and Gold Dynasty, and deliberately driving it away will attract the attention of others!

As mentioned earlier, the development of the Purple Gold Continent is very different from the martial arts plane of Gu Yi's previous life. After all, there are too many places in this world that need manpower, and both big gangs and families need to cultivate cannon fodder, and the young and strong are still very useful!

There are not too many beggars in the Purple Gold Continent, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled! Especially the lonely old people and the disabled with broken legs and feet are basically the 'main force' of the beggar gang!

This also caused all the Jianghu sects of the Zijin Dynasty to disdain the beggar gang, after all, how could a stick of old, weak, sick and disabled threaten themselves?!

But they never knew that these beggars, who did not ignore themselves, were intelligence officers who did not need to be hidden, but had an excellent hiding effect!

Think about it, a person who begs in your neighborhood all day long will silently count the number, number of times, and identity of your family?!

All in all, five years after its establishment, the beggar gang has become an important eyes and ears of Gu Yi throughout the Zijin Dynasty!

The reason for surrounding the manor at this moment is precisely the location of the leader behind the scenes of Mingyue Tower, which was summarized by the intelligence of the beggar gang after collecting and analyzing it, taking the incident of Mingyue Tower as an opportunity!

"How many people are there?" Gu Yi looked at the manor below and asked lightly.

"According to intelligence analysis, there are three hundred and seventy-four people on the surface of this manor, including one hundred and sixty-three warriors. Jin Shiyi paused, glanced at the manor, and continued, "However, the younger ones have found that the number of meals in this manor can be enjoyed by at least five hundred people every month, and every three months there are a few days when the food needed by about a thousand people needs to be transported into the manor!"

"Every six months, the proceeds of Mingyue Building will be converted into gold and transported to this manor, but in the past few years, it has been found that the manpower transported in and back is less than thirty percent!"

"Who is the owner of this manor?!" Gu Yi nodded and asked again.

"No one knows!" Jin Shiyi shook his head, "I personally asked an old beggar who has been begging here for more than ten years, and he said that the manor would give some food and old clothes to the beggars and the poor during the New Year's holidays, but it was the head of the manor who came forward every time. In the past five years alone, there have been three people in the total change, but the owner has never appeared!"

"How did you know that this is the owner behind the Mingyue Tower?" Gu Yi continued to ask with a frown.

Who is the owner behind Mingyue Tower has always belonged to a mystery on the rivers and lakes, not to mention those small sects, even giants like the 'Qinglong Gang', and they have not found the owner behind Mingyue Tower.

"It's also a fortune. Jin Shiyi laughed, "A few years ago, when gold was transported into the manor, a little beggar who was in the garbage heap discarded by the manor saw the gold and the Mingyue Tower mark engraved on the gold box!"

Originally, he didn't know that it was the mark of Mingyue Tower, but this time when he was collecting intelligence, he inadvertently said this situation, and it was confirmed after showing him the mark of Mingyue Tower. Then the information of this manor in the past few years will be summarized and analyzed, and it will be determined that it is the owner behind the scenes of Mingyue Tower!"

"Good. Gu Yi laughed, "What's that kid's name?

"I've seen that kid. Jin Shiyi also laughed when he said this, "A very interesting little guy, although he is a little thin but has good qualifications, he can be cultivated well, I have recommended him to go to the 'Valley of the Emperors'! Oh yes, his surname is Hong, the Hong of Shanhong." But he doesn't have a big name, but he is the seventh child of his parents, so he calls himself Hong Qi!"

"Hong Qi?!" Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Okay, Xiao Feng, Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, the three 'Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending' have all gotten together!

"I'll meet the kid when I get a chance. Gu Yi nodded, he had already planned, once this Hong Qi was really qualified and suitable for cultivating masculine martial arts, he would pass on the other party's 'Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending'!

"Your Majesty, Chief, you're ready!" At this time, a masked man walked over and saluted Gu Yi and Jin Shiyi, "Within a radius of a hundred miles, there are secret sentinels in all places where they can!

"Very good!" Gu Yi nodded, "Let everyone have a good rest, tonight's third watch, attack on time!"

"Yes!"

============================================================

After dinner, Sima Zhaoxing didn't know why, he always felt a little impetuous, as if something had happened.

As a wise man, a man who has always had everything in his hands, he didn't like this state very much.

In order to calm this state, Sima Zhaoxing came to his study, and while using painting to hone his mind, he calmed his irritability.

"No!" Sima Zhaoxing dropped the brush in his hand halfway through the painting, not caring at all about the fact that the ink on the brush had discarded the entire finished scroll. Frowning, he paced back and forth in the study for a while, and said to himself, "Something must be happening!"

"What will it be......" Sima Zhaoxing lowered his head and pondered. He carefully reviewed the information of the past few days, trying to analyze what would happen.

Mingyue Lou did it very simply, although six people died at the hands of Chu Liuxiang and them, but at least they didn't expose their targets, so there should be nothing wrong.

Somewhere else has a secret stronghold or a branch of a small gang disguised as one more exposed?!

No, he has stopped all contact during this time, and there will be no contact until a new contact method is formulated!

What could it be?!

This thought is a few hours, and before you know it, it is already late at night!

Unlike ordinary manors, there were no maids and ladies here who came to remind Sima Zhaoxing that he needed to rest late at night, and Sima Zhaoxing was not disturbed by anyone in the study.

However, Sima Zhaoxing was not happy at all, and the gradually strong sense of crisis in his heart made him unable to sleep and rest at all! More importantly, he really couldn't figure out what would happen!

How did Sima Zhaoxing know that a group of people he had never paid attention to would provide important information to each other and become the root cause of his own death!

"~~~~~Boom" An explosion sounded, Sima Zhaoxing immediately walked outside the study, and was horrified to find that there were fireballs flying towards the manor from all directions, and some exploded after falling into the manor, and some turned into a sea of fire! )
