" Young Master is busy every day, and the farmers have always respected you. Although the farmers have many disciples, they are all law-abiding citizens, especially my father's Lie Mountain Hall. They have strict rules. Tian Yan is here to represent the farmers to pay his respects to Young Master." Tian Yan's words were flawless, and Ying Xi smiled.
"Miss Tian, you don't have to pay your respects, but you're right about one thing. I, Ying Xi, like law-abiding citizens and hate lawless people because they challenge order. The Empire has fought for hundreds of years to bring peace to the world. Anyone who wants to destroy this order is my enemy.”
His words were unyielding, and he refuted Tian Yan's words with a tone that was neither too light nor too heavy. A trace of fear flashed in Tian Yan's eyes." Young Master's words are polite, and the farmers must abide by the law." Ying Xi nodded. Now that the Sea of Sang had just been settled, the Confucians had been temporarily tied to his chariot. He had even arranged for some Confucians to serve as reserve officials in the local areas. Once the Confucians were completely integrated into the empire, they would never be able to escape.
At this critical moment, Ying Xi didn't want to make a big fuss. It was better to stay still than to move. Sang Hai seemed to have calmed down, but Ying Xi had already spread out all his nets. He had invested a lot of manpower and material resources here, and he had given out tens of thousands of silver for this.
There was no such thing as loyalty in this world for no reason. The foundation of loyalty was to have enough benefits. However, Ying Xi had always been generous. As long as someone worked for him, he would receive generous rewards. Naturally, there would be people who would continue to pledge loyalty to him. Only a force built with common interests and common beliefs could be incomparably stable.
After taking a sip of tea, Tian Yan smiled and said,"Miss Tian, I wonder why Hall Master Tian Meng didn't come and let a woman show her face.""Father also wanted to come personally to see Young Master, but there are many things to do in the farm. Father is also a man who makes a living in the pugilistic world, so he was afraid of offending Young Master, so Tian Yan came to see Young Master. This is the sincerity of the farm. Young Master controls Sang Hai, so the sincerity of the farm is also what Young Master needs."
Ying Xi nodded." Very good. Miss, you're indeed a female Guan Zhong. You've even guessed my current state of mind very accurately. Alright then, since the farmer family is so sincere, I won't stand on ceremony. The farmer family has a deep relationship here, so it won't be difficult to find someone."
"Who is Young Master looking for?" Ying Xi said,"The remnants of the Za family disappeared after the battle at the seaside. I want to find their nest or meeting point. Secondly, the Network's Heaven-rank killer, Shocking Salamander, has already infiltrated the Sang Hai. Once a master of this level goes into hiding, it's impossible to find him. I want to know his whereabouts."
"Frightening Salamander!" Tian Yan's eyes narrowed slightly." That's right, one of the Yue Ba's eight swords, the Frightening Salamander. I'm sure you've heard of his name, right?”，Tian Yan said," That's right. I heard that the assassins of the Network are named after famous swords. This Startling Salamander is extremely mysterious and rarely makes a move. He can only be ranked as a Heaven-rank and wield a famous sword. It can be seen that he is not an ordinary character. However, the Network is a force of the empire and is of great help to the twelfth young master. It seems that there is something hidden now."
" It's a great taboo to make friends with shallow people and talk about deep things. Miss Tian Yan, we've just met today, so some words are already too much. You just need to find these people. I can naturally feel the sincerity of the farmers." It was Tian Yan who acted rashly. Please forgive me, Young Master." Ying Xi lifted his teacup and exhaled lightly.
The atmosphere at the moment was very strange. Little Yu and Gao Yue were more knowledgeable than ordinary girls, so they could hear the hidden meaning in their words. Tian Yan had come on behalf of the farmers, while Ying Xi was not polite at all. He directly asked the farmers to track down the traces of the triads and the Startling Salamander. Such a straightforwardness was really surprising. However, sometimes the most effective method was often the most effective. Ying Xi immediately blocked all the space that could be used to move around. This made Guan Zhong, a farmer's daughter, have many less tricks up her sleeve.
" Alright, I don't mean to blame you. Ying Xi is naturally aware of the loyalty and loyalty of the farmers. Eldest Miss Tian is weak, but she came here after a long journey. She will eat here before leaving. Although this Young Master is going out, I will bring the best chef in the palace with me. The famous chef of Qi Lu will also bring food and wine. With such a big table of food and wine, even with these two little girls, we won't be able to finish it. Eldest Miss Tian, please do me the honor of tasting it."
The sudden gentleness and aggressiveness from before seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Even though Tian Yan was mentally strong, he couldn't help but twitch his eyes. This Twelfth Young Master really turned hostile faster than flipping a book, as if the previous matter didn't exist.
After he finished speaking, dishes were served not long after. They were all steaming hot delicacies, and each dish was extremely rare. Tian Yan looked at Ying Xi, who was smiling and gentle like jade, and was also in a daze. It seemed that it was difficult to associate killing decisiveness with him. However, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't he the best at disguising himself?
However, sometimes, after pretending for a long time, even he couldn't tell which one was the real him. When he thought of his identity, he couldn't help but feel proud. If he knew that the Startling Salamander he was looking for was sitting beside him, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.
After sending Tian Yan off, Ying Xi bent over his desk and wrote down all the recent events in detail. These days, he would write a memorial every three days. This was also why the First Emperor trusted him. For people who had a strong desire for power, having this feeling of being in control of everything was an experience that could not be abandoned. Ying Xi understood the human heart. He was already very close to the supreme position. The most important thing in ancient China was to be legitimate. Ying Xi could only reduce a lot of trouble by inheriting the throne through legitimate royal power.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Ying Xi's eyes flashed. His internal energy cultivation had already reached an extremely high level, and with a thought, he could freely circulate his inner energy. His aura was like a spring breeze, and the curtains around him fluttered. He had already comprehended many of the farmer's Supremes, but one of them was extremely sluggish. Back then, when Bai Qi was surrounded by the farmer's formation, he had also comprehended the Profound Truths of the Earth. Later on, he deliberately collected them and deduced the essence of the farmer's cultivation technique, but this deduction was incomplete. It could even be said that it was greatly incomplete.
However, Ying Xi's comprehension of the essence of the earth was already extremely profound. It was like he had already comprehended the general principles of the Nine Yin Scripture. Although he hadn't learned any martial arts, he was naturally from a commanding position. Ying Xi had also learned many things from this and figured out a martial art with astonishing power like the White Dew Autumn Frost Palm. He had also integrated the extreme essence of the four seasons into his sword art, greatly increasing the power of his sword art.
Once he could get the cultivation method of the peasant family, Ying Xi would be able to integrate it very quickly. Ying Xi had thought about it, but now was not the time. When the First Emperor's southern tour was over, it would be the time to attack the peasant family. According to what he knew, the net had been infiltrating the peasant family all these years. Although the peasant family was big, it was not as tight as the miscellaneous family. There was a high chance of being infiltrated.
Tian Yan's face appeared in his mind when he thought of the farmer. This woman was extremely shrewd. He kept probing but did not get any useful information. However, he had been plotting against the farmer for many years. The secret agents he arranged were already in the middle of the farmer. He had already obtained a lot of information about the farmer over the years. After controlling the secret guards, he could obtain a lot of information openly.
Thinking up to this point, Ying Xi silently stood up and brandished his sword. His aura surged, and the paper books around him rustled in the wind. One of the books was flipped open, and the side of the book was filled with drawings of these famous swords. The first one was a slender sword, Ge Nia's Deep Rainbow. The size, weight, and material of this sword were written on it.
Ying Xi looked at the map and muttered," I wonder if Teacher Xu will succeed. If he succeeds, he might be an excellent bargaining chip!"
