In fact, two days before Guo Jing and the others set off, Xue Xin, Ma Yu, and Xiao Yi had also set off for the desert two days after Tie Muzhen had defeated the Wanghan Tribe. However, the three of them parted ways halfway. Ma Yu had to rush back to Mount Zhongnan. Moreover, his life in the desert over the past few years had given him a new understanding and thinking about the grassland people. He suddenly thought of taking the opportunity to go to Xixia on his way back. Thus, he left on his way to the west alone. Xue Xin and Xiao Yi wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom's capital, Beijing. However, there were still some matters in the Jin Kingdom that they needed to clean up. Otherwise, if Wanyan Honglie found any clues, it would be troublesome.
However, Xue Xin still didn't know that there was a big problem waiting for him. The matter had to start from Xue Xin's intelligence organization, Class One Hall.?In the beginning, Class One Hall was established by Li Qiu Shui to fight against Vulture Palace, which belonged to the young lady of Heavenly Mountain. In truth, it was a semi-official organization that specialized in hunting down martial artists, extraordinary people, and so on.?However, it was later used by the ruler of Xixia to deal with the martial artists of the Great Song and to provide information for the military operations of Xixia. Later on, they suffered a great blow from Great Song's martial artists, and almost all of their martial artists were killed. It just so happened that Western Xia's national strength was rapidly declining, and Class One Hall could no longer maintain their intelligence network. However, the elites who were the first to build their intelligence network remained in Western Xia Imperial Palace.?Later on, these people followed Princess Yin Chuan to the Vulture Palace. With Princess Yin Chuan's permission and the financial support of the Vulture Palace, the intelligence network was restored, and the name was still used. Class One Hall had helped Xu Zhu and Princess Silver Stream a lot when they fought against the traitors from Vulture Palace.?However, right before Xu Zhu was killed, Class One Hall suffered a heavy blow from the Golden Dragon Empire. Later on, after Xu Zhu was killed, the elders who built the network died of old age, and the entire intelligence organization shrank on a large scale. Most of the people went into hiding.?The Xue family's ancestor really did not have this kind of talent. Many times, he used this intelligence organization as a protective umbrella for the family heir when he went out to travel, just like how his father casually handed such a huge organization to Xue Xin when he left home.
After all, Xue Xin came from the future, and he knew that if he used this organization properly, it could even give a huge empire a headache. Xue Xin didn't have any good ideas about the organization and operation, so he didn't make any changes. He had only thought of a way to make money, which Class One Hall lacked the most. He used some of the tricks that people who transmigrated to this world used to make money, and soon, Class One Hall was able to escape from the predicament of lacking money. They gradually regained their vitality, and then they began to expand outward.?However, there were no walls in the world that could not leak air. Speaking of which, Class One Hall was considered a relatively large hidden faction in the Chinese server.?When it was lurking, it naturally wouldn't attract any attention, but now, if it moved a little, it would inevitably affect other forces, especially recently because Xue Xin's liquor and perfume business was a lucrative industry. It was inevitable that others would be jealous, and then there would be such a fight.
Xue Xin was a hands-off manager. He only wanted results, and he did not care how his subordinates achieved their goals. Hence, Class One Hall would sometimes use a little force to settle disputes.?In fact, as long as one was a little more sensitive, they would have already noticed that a new power was rapidly rising. However, Class One Hall had already gone through hundreds of years of development, and it was naturally not something that ordinary organizations could see.?However, when it came to underground forces, which organization could be compared to Beggar's Sect? Beggar's Sect had disciples all over the world, and modern people knew the power of "human flesh search". Beggar's Sect was an expert in this area.
Besides, once Xue Xin arrived at the plains, he maintained contact with Class One Hall. Xue Xin was a lazy person, so he had always used the same line to send information and orders. Because of this, after two years, Beggar's Sect had long since found out about an important node on this line-the branch in Zhang Jiakou.?Recently, Xue Xin was going to return from the plains, so he naturally asked all the leaders in the intelligence organization to come and understand the situation, and because of that, Beggar's Sect suddenly discovered that Class One Hall had gathered a large number of elites in Zhang Jiakou.?This attracted the attention of the Beggar's Sect's higher-ups.
Of course, if Xue Xin had known that his lazy behavior had almost caused Class One Hall and Beggar's Sect to fight against each other, he would not have decided on the meeting location so rashly.?However, at this moment, he was completely unaware of the turbulent undercurrents in the Central Plains. He was still leisurely strolling toward them.
It was already past midnight that night, and most of the residents of Zhang Jiakou had fallen asleep. However, in the shadow of a corner of a mansion, a small figure was slowly moving. "Yes, this is it. I've been eyeing you guys for a long time. Since you guys are rich and heartless, and I happen to lack money, then let me help you spend money and accumulate some evil virtue.”After seeing the situation of the wall, the young man dressed as a beggar was about to move, but her ears moved and pressed her down again. Moreover, she shrank into a darker place at the side.
Not long after, he saw three black shadows flying over from afar. Through the occasional light from the roadside, the little beggar could clearly see that these people were also dressed like beggars. However, from the anxious and fearful expressions on their faces, they kept looking back as they ran. It seemed that they were running for their lives. The little beggar's eyes moved, and he gave up on his plan of " robbing the rich to give to the poor ". He pretended to be an ordinary beggar and stood still in the corner. As expected, not long after the three of them passed by. A group of ten or so people followed him. These people were all dressed in black. They kept their heads down and rushed forward silently. Moreover, it was obvious that their lightness skills were much better than those beggars who had just passed by. Those with slightly weaker hearing would not be able to hear their footsteps. "Interesting. One side wants to lure the enemy out of the city, while the other side wants to beat them at their own game. I wonder which side will be better. Well, it wasn't easy to see so many martial arts skills, but he had to watch this show.”After muttering to himself, the little beggar stood up and looked back at the brightly lit mansion. He muttered a few words in a low voice and used his qinggong to chase after the black-clothed men.
The little beggar's lightness skill was quite good. She was short, but it was easy for her to find a place to hide. In addition, she was alert, so she followed the men in black out of the city until they reached a small forest without any problems. From afar, she saw the men in black suddenly pause when they reached the edge of the forest. However, the old man leading them sneered and waved his hand, leading everyone into the forest. Then, a large number of torches were lit, illuminating the entire forest. Many beggars holding torches went straight behind the men in black and formed a loose encirclement. After the men in black entered the forest, they split into two groups. One group consisted of three people, all of whom were white-haired old men. They did not move, while the rest of them weaved in front and behind. Soon, they stood in a well-arranged formation. The little beggar also sneaked into the forest. He found a hidden tree not far from the left of the black-clothed elders and climbed up a few times. Then, he looked down and prepared to watch the show. Looking down from above, the little beggar was shocked." Eh? Isn't this the Nine Palaces Formation? The requirements for these nine people to display the power of this formation were very high. Which sect was this? They could actually find nine first-class experts with martial arts skills that were not inferior at all to set up the formation? Hmm, interesting. I'll follow them to take a look later. It'll be a good way to kill time.”
"They're all from Class One Hall, and they don't have much of an interest in this, and they're very vicious when they do things. He already noticed you just now, but he didn't do anything to you because he thought that Beggar's Sect sent someone over, so you'd better not follow him."”Just as the little beggar was talking to himself, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear, giving her a fright and almost falling off the tree. She quickly turned around and realized that a middle-aged beggar with a red face had come up to her side.
The middle-aged beggar had a rectangular face, a slight beard under his chin, and thick hands and feet. His clothes were patched everywhere, but they were clean. He held a green bamboo cane that was as jade as he carried a large red gourd on his back. The little beggar turned around and smiled kindly at her. The little beggar was not an ordinary person. She rolled her eyes and saw that the middle-aged man only had four fingers on his right hand, but his index finger was missing. So he respectfully said,"So it's Beggar's Sect's Senior Hong. Greetings."”Hong Qigong was stunned. Then, he smiled and said," Not bad, not bad. You're indeed Old Evil Huang's daughter. You're just as eccentric."”Hearing this, the little beggar's expression changed slightly, but it was a little unnatural.
Hong Qigong laughed in his heart, Although they are both smart and quick-witted, their experience in the martial world is still a little lacking.”At this moment, the little beggar spoke again, but this time, he used a clear female voice."Senior Hong must have been following behind me just now and seen me use my qinggong. He must have recognized the origin of my martial arts from my martial arts. I just don't know how you saw through my disguise.”"That's easy?" said Hong Qigong with a smile. Although you've painted your face black, your neck and arms are still the same. Most importantly, I can smell your perfume from afar.”Only then did the little beggar realize that the disguise he thought was flawless was full of loopholes. He no longer refused to admit it and bowed again."I am Huang Rong of the Peach Blossom Island in the East Sea. Greetings, Senior Hong.”Seventh Duke Hong waved his hand and said," Forget it, there's no need to be so polite. Moreover, I have a good relationship with your old evil father. In the future, you don't have to call me senior anymore. Just call me Seventh Duke."”
Huang Rong didn't stand on ceremony. After greeting Duke Qi, she asked,""Duke Qi, did you just say that these people in black are from Class One Hall? But why haven't I heard of such a sect in the martial world?”"You've never heard of Class One Hall, but you should have heard of Yipin Pavilion, right? I see that the rouge and perfume you're wearing are all from Yipin Xuan.”"Are they all from Yipin Pavilion?" Huang Rong asked in surprise.”" No." Hong Qigong shook his head and said," Yipin Pavilion is just a small organization under Class One Hall. There's also Class One Tower and Class One Restaurant. They're just business organizations under Class One Hall.?”When Huang Rong heard Hong Qigong say a few names, her mouth was agape for a long time."But, but these are all old brands with extremely high reputations in their respective industries?”Hong Qigong said," I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's an old restaurant. Actually, these restaurants and whatnot have only risen rapidly in the past ten years or so. If it had been ten years ago, no one would have heard of these names.”
Huang Rong roughly estimated the scale of Class One Hall, and she realized that the commercial tissue fluid that she had heard from Hong Qigong had already surpassed her imagination.?Only then did she realize how deep the water behind these men in black was. She had wanted to follow them to their headquarters just now, but now she was afraid.
