After being scolded, Xu Yi was not angry and left without saying a word.
He came to the door of Guanglong Trading Company across the street. The door was closed tightly. When he sensed it, it was dead quiet and empty inside.
Xu Yi suddenly felt bad.
Cao Mengfu's hand just clicked on the doorknob, his shoulders sank, and a cold light dagger slipped from the cuff of his sleeve into his palm. He turned around calmly, and before he could see the person clearly, the polite and humble smile that had been accumulated all day long naturally appeared on his old wrinkled face.
When he saw who was coming, his smile lines that had not yet completely relaxed suddenly froze, like a sudden extreme cold freezing a cicada in mid-journey.
"Ms. sir, why don't you... Wish you a happy guest."
A very pretty young woman in a wooden hairpin sarong opened the door. She was slightly surprised, but she gave a blessing salute to the young man in blue shirt behind Cao Mengfu.
"Old Cao, is it inconvenient for you to invite me in to sit down?"
The young man in green shirt said with a smile.
"Convenient and convenient, please please!"
Cao Mengfu's mouth and tongue are a little tangled.
After entering the door, there is a small courtyard that is long and horizontal. There are chickens and ducks in the courtyard pecking at the fresh leftovers and eating happily. There is a tall old elm tree next to the door on the left. Under the elm tree is a stone table with a corner missing, and there are four chairs beside it. Behind the courtyard is the main house, and there seems to be a backyard behind the main house. There are sounds of children playing.
"Send some tea quickly!"
Cao Mengfu said urgently.
"No need, let's just talk and let Madam go about her business."
The man in green shirt gave the order, Cao Mengfu responded repeatedly, and hurriedly drove the cargo woman in.
As soon as the door of the hall was closed, Cao Mengfu bowed and fell to the ground, saying in a trembling voice, "I am an incompetent old man who pays homage to the hall master."
Needless to say, the man in blue shirt is none other than Xu Yi.
Xu Yi visited Guanglong Trading Company when he encountered an empty door. He immediately knew that something was wrong. The situation was unclear and he was not in a position to use force blindly. So he hid not far away from the Guanglong Hall and waited for the opportunity. The main thing was to find someone, an acquaintance to understand the situation.
When he entered the city, he saw the calendars hanging in the shops on the street and knew that it was only a year since he said goodbye to Desolate Ancestor and Yan Zi.
In such a short period of time, even if something happens to the Guanglong Hall, it will not be wiped out in one fell swoop. There will always be dust particles leaking out from the gaps.
Sure enough, when he sensed the door of the Guanglong Hall, he picked up some familiar scents. Among them, this Cao Mengfu reminded him of his last name. He remembered that he was a very capable shopkeeper under Desolate Ancestor. At that time, Guanglong Hall was already in a high position.
Xu Yi waited quietly aside. Finally, when Cao Mengfu came out, Guanglong Hall stopped him at the door of his house.
Xu Yi helped Cao Mengfu and said gently, "You don't need to panic, just tell me what happened. Such a drastic change is beyond your ability to resist, even if you surrender, I don't blame you."
Cao Mengfu took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Yi, with tears streaming down his face.
The moment Xu Yi came to his door, he almost collapsed on the spot.
What kind of character and reputation does this old hall master have? If others don't know it, how can he not know it? He is a serious and ferocious man who kills people like crazy. He is also famous in the entire Qingxing City.
Cao Mengfu was so excited that he thanked her again and again and refused to stand up. He told Xu Yi all over again why he was not invited.
"The blame lies with the crippled former country leader Zhao Tangyuan who was blind and indistinguishable between loyal and treacherous. He was stupidly taken away from Imperial Seal of the State and lost the foundation of the country. As a result, all life was in ruins and the world was in chaos. It is really not a pity to die..."
At first, Cao Mengfu was a little reserved and timid, but later on, the more he spoke, the more indignant he became, his face glowed red, his saliva sprayed, splattering on Xu Yi's clothes without realizing it.
Xu Yi I didn't expect that in just one year, such a big change would happen in Wufeng Country.
The thing sounds complicated, but it's actually a mess.
The specific government structure of Wufeng Country is secular, but those who truly hold the divine power are cultivators. The king of Wufeng Country has been in power for more than fifty years. He is not only an old Tribulation Transcending Experts himself, but also the leader of a large cultivation sect.
According to Cao Mengfu, all the kings of the past dynasties were the leaders of their sects. Only when their sects became extremely powerful did they become world leaders.
The so-called aspiration to become the world's leader is nothing more than obtaining Imperial Seal of the State and being recognized by the Immortal Palace. Then one can become the leader of a country and control the country's political affairs.
Today's country's leader Zhao Tangyuan has lost his country. According to what Cao Mengfu said, it is simply child's play. The person who captured Imperial Seal of the State is none other than Zhao Tangyuan's brother-in-law, You Chaozong's patriarch Long Yuanshou.
I have heard of You Chaozong's name Xu Yi, and it is a famous sect within Wufeng Country. From what Cao Mengfu means, You Chaozong's growth is basically caused by Zhao Tangyuan.
"If you get Imperial Seal of the State, you can become the master of a country and make many princes and ministers surrender. What's the truth?"
Xu Yi It is still unbelievable that a piece of jade seal is just a dead object, how can it have such great power.
Cao Mengfu said, "This is all because Imperial Seal of the State was awarded by the Immortal Palace. In various countries, the Immortal Palace has set up too many forbidden laws, and with the national seal, soldiers and horses can be borrowed from the Immortal Palace."
"Historically, 90% of the changes in the position of the king are due to abdication. This is the first time in hundreds of years that a king has had his seal taken away from him."
Xu Yi said, "Since he has obtained the national seal, Long Yuanshou will automatically become the lord of the country. Why should we go to war? For example, this Qingxing City is so troubled."
Cao Mengfu said, "According to the system, there is a three-month window period for the transfer of the national seal. During this period, anyone who seizes the national seal can be established as the lord of the country. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the national seal to be transferred for the second time, and there are few records in history. Of course, you must be on guard against others, Long Yuanshou has obtained the national seal and is about to command the world. Naturally, no accidents are allowed to happen, so the whole country is under martial law. And some big forces are willing to buy good things from the new king. What's more, this period of violent upheaval is a good opportunity to reshuffle the cards. There are endless attacks and killings everywhere, and it is not surprising that new blood replaces old blood."
Xu Yi said, "Who is occupying Guanglong Hall now? Who in the city has the final say."
Cao Mengfu said, "Now the forces in the city are divided into three families, Ru Yi Hall, Donghe Alliance, and Ancient Sword Sect, but they are all led by Lord Tong who is under the Wang Ting faction."
Xu Yi nodded, "Last question, where is Desolate Ancestor? Where is Yan Zi?"
Cao Mengfu, who was kneeling on the ground but had raised his body, suddenly shrank into a ball and lay flat on the ground, like a wandering spirit that had been struck by thunder.
A cold light flashed in Xu Yi's eyes, and he waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Cao Mengfu up, "Just say, since I said I won't blame you, I will keep my word, but only if I hear the truth."
Cao Mengfu kowtows like a chicken pecking rice, "That day Ru Yi Hall attacked me Guanglong Hall, Old Lu saw that we couldn't defend it, and was planning to retreat, but Miss Yan Zi was traveling at this time After returning, Old Lu fought fiercely with the enemy to cover Miss Yan Zi. He was seriously injured and refused to retreat. The enemy tried to persuade him to surrender several times, saying that as long as Old Lu handed over Guanglong Hall's inventory, he would be let go."
