Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#149 - The illegitimate son of King Ming?

Meng Manor.

Liang Jin and Liu Yuan had already arrived in the main hall and sat down.

"Meng Xinghun, do you know why I didn't let you kill that monk?"

Liu Yuan took the initiative to speak.

Liang Jin shook his head, waiting for Liu Yuan to explain.

Liu Yuan said:

"Do you know what Xiong Xiang's identity is?"

"He is a Protector Venerable of the Boundless Bright King Sect, considered one of the mid-to-high levels."

"Above him, there are also Upper Venerables, Bright Kings, and the greatest is the Dharma King."

"If he were just a Protector Venerable, that would be fine, but I have roughly guessed his other identity."

"Have you noticed that Xiong Xiang's cultivation of a martial art has exceeded the scope he should have as a Protector Venerable?"

"That martial art is called 'Mahavairocana Sutra', which only the Buffalo Head Bright King is qualified to practice."

"Although he hid it well, I still saw it."

Liang Jin shook his head.

He didn't have as much knowledge of martial arts as Liu Yuan, so he naturally couldn't see what Liu Yuan was talking about.

"Just tell me the conclusion directly."

Liang Jin said.

So Liu Yuan opened her mouth:

"Two of the five great Bright Kings of the Boundless Bright King Sect have already died. I once thought Xiong Xiang was a disciple of the lineage of the deceased Wrathful Fire Bright King."

"But I noticed that Xiong Xiang's 'Treasure Vase Qi Cultivation Method' was not completely cultivated, and after he also practiced the 'Mahavairocana Sutra', I knew that what he obtained was actually the true inheritance of the Buffalo Head Bright King."

"I once saw the Buffalo Head Bright King once, and now looking at Xiong Xiang's appearance, he is actually very similar to the Buffalo Head Bright King."

"So I am very sure that this Xiong Xiang must be the son of the Buffalo Head Bright King."

Liang Jin was slightly surprised when he heard this.

This Liu Yuan had actually seen the Buffalo Head Bright King?

However, Liang Jin believed Liu Yuan's words.

With Liu Yuan's ability to remember everything she sees, if she compared the appearance of the Buffalo Head Bright King and Xiong Xiang and found them similar, it was probably correct.

But he didn't think much of it:

"Can't the son of the Buffalo Head Bright King be killed?"

Liu Yuan explained:

"The world says that the Buffalo Head Bright King is detached from the world, cultivates bitterly throughout his life without marriage, or dual cultivation, and has not left any descendants."

"So this Xiong Xiang is probably the Buffalo Head Bright King's unknown illegitimate son."

Liu Yuan's words did make some sense.

If Xiong Xiang really had a special identity, then killing him would indeed be better than using him well.

But Liang Jin quickly frowned.

This Xiong Xiang was impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and he was not even afraid of death.

Only Liu Yuan seemed to be able to communicate with him normally.

It would probably not be so easy to use such a person.

Liu Yuan seemed to guess what Liang Jin was thinking and smiled:

"Don't worry, I have a way."

"Just leave this matter to me."

"Since I plan to help you collect intelligence, then this Xiong Xiang will definitely be able to play a big role in the Boundless Bright King Sect."

"Especially in the future, maybe we can use him to work for the Azure Clothes Tower."

Seeing Liu Yuan speak with confidence, Liang Jin agreed:

"Okay, I'll let you try."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll find a chance to kill him at that time."

"As long as it's done secretly, no one will pay attention to Dingfeng City."

If Xiong Xiang was still difficult to deal with in the end.

Then Liang Jin would give up Dingfeng City and take everyone to migrate outside of the Western Desert, and he would definitely kill Xiong Xiang.

Liu Yuan then said:

"I have also learned about the girls of Qiluo Fragrance these days. At least more than half of them hope to leave and become good people, and only a small half are willing to stay."

"I will use half of Qiluo Fragrance's silver to dismiss them, and Qiluo Fragrance's income will be reduced by more than half in the future."

"What do you think of this matter?"

Liang Jin waved his hand when he heard this:

"I said, all affairs of Qiluo Fragrance are left to you to decide, you can make your own decisions."

"It doesn't matter if you close down all the brothels one day, I don't lack this little money."

Seeing this, Liu Yuan felt relieved.

She was still planning to discuss the future development direction of Qiluo Fragrance with Liang Jin.

At this time.

A servant ran in:

"Master, Lord Gao is here with a group of foreigners seeking an audience."

Liang Jin seemed to have guessed something when he heard this.

"Please take them to the study, and prepare good tea for them in the study."

"Also, clear everyone around the study, and no one is allowed to approach without my permission."

The servant immediately took the order and retreated.

Seeing that Liang Jin had important matters to discuss, Liu Yuan got up to say goodbye.

Just as she arrived at the gate, she happened to see the servant leading Gao Hongzhe and a group of people in.

Liu Yuan was about to greet Gao Hongzhe.

However, when her gaze swept over the group of foreigners beside Gao Hongzhe, her eyes suddenly froze.

At the same time, she was greatly shocked in her heart:

"Wall-Adhering Walking Skill?"

"They are agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

When this group of foreigners walked, their steps were light, and their footsteps made no sound at all.

Especially their eyes would subconsciously look for corners and shadows nearby, as if they were planning a stealth route at any time.

Liu Yuan was very familiar with this martial art.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard's lightness skill is unique, with a special "Body Technique Hall" where senior instructors teach lightness skills.

The new agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard need to practice the "Wall-Adhering Walking Skill" on the palace walls every morning. This lightness skill must be fast and silent, and it also requires being able to stick to the walls, hide in the shadows, and reduce the range that the line of sight can find.

After this special lightness skill training, the Embroidered Uniform Guard agents can monitor suspicious people in the palace at any time without being noticed.

This kind of sneaky lightness skill can be said to be the unique skill of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

After Liu Yuan noticed the identities of these people, she felt a burst of tension in her heart.

Seeing that she could not avoid it, she lowered her head slightly and planned to leave quickly.

"Stop!"

Cang Du suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

At the same time, he raised his hand and blocked Liu Yuan's way.

Liu Yuan could only raise her head and asked suspiciously:

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

As a squad leader, Cang Du's observation skills were naturally sharp.

He stared at Liu Yuan and asked in a deep voice:

"Have we met before?"

"I always feel that you look a bit familiar?"

Liu Yuan's heart trembled, but she still showed an angry expression on her face:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Looking at you as a foreigner, you don't even ask around in this Dingfeng City. Am I someone you can just stop?"

Cang Du didn't pay attention to Liu Yuan's words.

He was still observing Liu Yuan's every move and questioned in a deep voice:

"Why did your heart beat faster and your breathing become rapid when you saw us?"

"Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"

Liu Yuan was startled, not expecting that Cang Du could keenly detect the change in her heartbeat.

But she still raised her eyebrows:

"Do you really think I would be interested in you, so I'm moved by you?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Are you worthy?"

These words didn't make Cang Du angry.

Instead, it made a group of agents furious and surrounded her.

At this time.

Gao Hongzhe hurriedly came over to ask:

"What happened?"

"Everyone is one of us. This Miss Liu is my good friend, and also a good friend of Brother Meng."

"Lord Cang, I don't know what she has offended?"

Cang Du frowned slightly when he heard this.

If it were within the territory of the Great Qian, he would definitely investigate this suspicious woman's ancestors for eighteen generations.

But this was after all the Western Desert, and he now had something to ask of others.

And this woman was actually friends with Gao Hongzhe and Liang Jin.

Now Cang Du could only put this woman aside for the time being.

He smiled at Gao Hongzhe:

"Lord Gao, I mistook her for someone else."

Saying that, he retracted his hand that was blocking Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan pretended to want to scold a few more words, but Gao Hongzhe hurriedly persuaded her to stop.

After Gao Hongzhe persuaded Liu Yuan to leave, he and Cang Du went straight to the study of Meng Manor.

After arriving at the study, Cang Du waved his hand, and a group of agents quickly dispersed to be on guard.

Cang Du and Gao Hongzhe then entered the study together.

Inside the study.

Liang Jin had been waiting for the two to arrive.

"Brother Gao!"

Liang Jin got up to greet them, then he looked at Cang Du:

"I don't know who this is..."

Gao Hongzhe explained:

"This is Cang Du, the squad leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard of the Great Qian."

Liang Jin immediately cupped his fists at Cang Du when he heard this.

He had already guessed that this group of foreigners were from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so he was not too surprised.

Cang Du also returned the salute to Liang Jin:

"I have long heard of the name of Young Hero Meng. Seeing you at the gate of Meng Manor just now, you really live up to your reputation."

Liang Jin was slightly strange.

In the Great Qian, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was notoriously fierce and feared by everyone.

Why was this squad leader speaking so politely?

It seemed that he probably had something to ask for.

Immediately, Liang Jin invited the two to sit down.

Liang Jin picked up the teacup and smiled:

"It is really an honor for you two adults to grace us with your presence."

"You must be thirsty after coming all the way, please try my treasured tea."

Saying that, Liang Jin took a sip of tea leisurely.

Just as the tea entered his mouth.

A line of information immediately popped up on the system panel:

[Detected that the host is being attacked by the Blood-Eating Powder poison. The Hundred Poisons Immunity trait is automatically activated to successfully resolve all toxicity for the host!]

[Blood-Eating Powder: Originating from the Witchcraft Cauldron of Rouge Mountain in the Black Dragon Dynasty. The medicinal effect will take effect after one quarter of an hour after ingestion, and it will cause the blood in the whole body to coagulate and die in just three quarters of an hour.]

Liang Jin was stunned.

This tea was poisonous!

Who did it?

Besides Liang Jin, there were only Gao Hongzhe and Cang Du in this room.

At this time, Gao Hongzhe and Cang Du were both about to drink tea.

Liang Jin suddenly shouted:

"Wait!"

The two raised their heads and looked at Liang Jin in confusion.

Only to see Liang Jin hurriedly snatching the tea from the two of them, and then drinking it down.

After the two cups of tea entered his mouth, the system popped up information about encountering severe poison.

"Their tea is also poisonous, could it be that they are not the ones who poisoned it?"

Liang Jin quickly thought, then grabbed the teapot and took a sip.

Poisoning information also appeared on the system panel.

Liang Jin's face darkened.

Obviously, the poisoner intended to wipe out everyone in the study in one fell swoop!
