The night sky was draped with stars.
In a luxurious mansion near Prosperity Street in Xianyang, the streets were quiet and the lights were dim. Many households had long turned off their lights, and even the patrolling guards were sleepy.
In the manor, Qin Mu, Violet Maiden, Zhang Liang, and Dugu Qiubai sat at the dining table, savoring the specialty snacks of Xianyang. There was also fragrant wine on the table.
"Young Master, this Meng Yi is quite generous. He actually gave you this high-class mansion. I was a little surprised at that time…I feel that there is something fishy about this.”At this moment, Zhang Liang could not help but praise.
Then, he glanced at Violet Maiden and Dugu Qiubai. He stuck his head out and asked softly," What do you think of this matter?”
"I have no opinion." Dugu Qiubai coldly replied.
Violet Maiden put down her chopsticks and muttered to herself," Little Liangzi, what you said makes sense…If we were given an ordinary place to stay, it would not make sense according to Meng Tian's instructions…But to give us such a big mansion, there is indeed something fishy about it.”
She rubbed her chin and fell into deep thought.
Everyone present was not stupid, but what was Meng Yi's motive for doing this?
Pa…
Right at this moment, after Qin Mu finished eating, he raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp. He then used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth. This time, he slowly raised his head and chuckled." What are you guys thinking about? Can't you tell what he's saying is so superficial?”
"What do you mean?" Violet Maiden and Zhang Liang asked in unison.
Qin Mu shrugged his shoulders." He already knows my true identity, so of course he has to curry favor with me?”
"Ah?"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out," How did he know? Could it be that Meng Tian told him?"
Qin Mu shook his head." Definitely not. With Meng Tian's personality, she would never go back on her word…But how did Meng Yi know? Presumably, only he knew!”
"Or maybe he has something I don't know.”
When he said this, his voice suddenly paused, and then he waved his hand indifferently." Who cares? So what if he knew? Through our interactions with him, we can tell that he is very cautious and meticulous. Even if he had ten guts, he would not have said anything…We can all act according to the plan.”
Their plan was very simple. They wanted to gain a firm foothold in Xianyang City, develop intelligence, and train assassins to strengthen their own forces.
Although the words were simple, the actual actions were very difficult.
This place was not like Han Country.
Because the Qin Country already had the ability to rule the world and swallow the strength of the six countries, becoming an existence that other countries feared, they secretly planted their own spies and forces to investigate the various movements of the Qin Country.
If there was any movement, the other countries would know in time.
In Xianyang City, the water was very deep. If one was not careful, they would drown in the seemingly calm sea.
His target was none other than the Nine Palaces of Luoyang, the Fusang Ancient Tree.
In his memory, the Yin-Yang School had supported the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, to ascend the throne, and they would work together with the Gongsun Family to create the-Pi.
The ancient Fusang tree will be moved to the middle of the tree.
However, before he could start working on it, Qin Mu guessed that the ancient Fusang wood must be in the Nine Palaces of Shen 'du.
This was because the Yin-Yang School had a powerful secret technique called 'Soul Dragon Roaming'. It could release dragon energy to attack and could also transform into a three-legged Golden Crow.
The ancient Fusang tree was extremely strong and Yang, complementing this secret technique.
With the domineering style of the Yin-Yang School, they would definitely occupy the Fusang Ancient Tree. If he snatched the Fusang Ancient Tree, he would definitely become enemies with the Yin-Yang School.
Therefore, he had to be fully prepared. When the time came, he would have the ability to resist the Yin-Yang School.
When he thought of this, Qin Mu raised his head to look at Violet Maiden." When will your people arrive?”
Before they left Han Country, they had already discussed and decided to open another Purple Orchid Pavilion in the capital of Xianyang. This way, it would be more convenient to gather information. The required dancers and singers would naturally be transferred from Han Country. Wei Zhuang would personally lead the team to protect the safety of the ladies.
"Reporting to Young Master, we can arrive in three or five days.”Violet answered without hesitation.
When Qin Mu heard that, he rubbed his chin." That's good. It seems like... I'll have to pay Meng Yi a visit tomorrow and ask him to handle some complicated procedures for us as well as pick a better location.”
"Right. Besides, the others know that Zi Lan Xuan is supervised by Meng Yi. This will save a lot of trouble.”Zhang Liang, who was beside him, echoed.
Violet Maiden would occasionally offer her opinions and suggestions.
As they discussed matters, time passed unknowingly.
Thump...
Thump thump…
At this moment, there was the sound of metal clashing outside the manor, as well as the sound of the night watch." Sound the gong to inform everyone to close the doors and windows. The weather is dry, be careful of the fire."”
Thump...
Thump thump…
Then, the gong sounded again, one slow and two fast.
When Qin Mu heard this voice, he looked at the resplendent starry sky and muttered to himself," It's already the third watch so quickly…Time really flies.”
The night watchman often passed the time by striking the gong.
Usually, the number of gongs and drums represented the number of sounds. However, when the gong was struck, there would be a difference in speed.
One slow and two fast referred to the third watch, one slow and three fast referred to the fourth watch, and then pushed back.
As soon as she finished speaking, Violet Girl and Zhang Liang yawned and stretched.
"Of course time passes quickly. I'm intoxicated by the discussion with Young Master.”At this moment, Zhang Liang smiled and flattered.
Instead, Violet Girl rolled her eyes." You're the only one with a sweet mouth. It's as if you've been smeared with bee poop every day.”
The moment he said that, Qin Mu and Zhang Liang immediately burst into laughter. However... Dugu Qiubai still stood in front of the door frame with an expression on his face. His gaze was fixed on Qin Mu, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
When Qin Mu saw this, his expression changed. He then waved his hand at Violet Maiden and Zhang Liang." It's getting late, you guys should go and rest."”
When Violet Maiden and Zhang Liang heard this, they looked at each other and nodded in unison." Alright, then Young Master should also take note of your rest."”
"Then we'll take our leave first. If there's anything, just call me.”
After saying that, they took the lead to leave, leaving Qin Mu and Dugu Qiubai in the courtyard.
"Senior Sword Demon, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" At this moment, Qin Mu asked.
"Yes!" Dugu Qiubai did not hide anything and nodded in response.
"What is it?" Qin Mu looked at Dugu Qiubai in confusion.
In response, Dugu Qiubai's eyes were filled with battle intent." Young Master, did you promise me…that you would find an opponent for me after entering Xianyang City?”
Err…
The moment he said that, Qin Mu was stunned on the spot, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He originally thought that Dugu Qiubai was a big deal…but he never expected that he had not forgotten what he had promised him before.
Now that things had come to this, he could only fulfill his promise.
When he thought of this, Qin Mu waved at Dugu Qiubai." Follow me, I'll bring you there."”
"Good!"
