Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

The slanting sunlight shines through the window lattice into the dim and quiet hall.

Zhou Chen sat behind a sandalwood desk, holding his chin with one hand and holding a document with the other, browsing with his eyelids drooping, and his whole body exudes a sense of laziness.

The document in his hand was a message from the neighboring Nanlongzhou.

The leader over there hoped that they in Xizezhou could provide some silver or transfer some people to help as appropriate.

When he first received such a letter, he took it very seriously.

After all, the situation written in the document was extremely urgent. If there was no reinforcement, the overall situation would probably fail.

And when he raised manpower and materials, he went to Mr. Mu to report overnight, but the answer he got was a simple seven words.

No money, no people, let him go.

After asking, Zhou Chen found that the letter for help was full of high-end Spring and Autumn style writing.

The friendly army next door, this is here to collect autumn wind.

They are not valued in Xizezhou, and therefore the leaders of the Black Scale Guards in the neighboring states come to them every once in a while to make plans for their little tricks.

Anyway, the Black Scale branches in your Xizezhou are dispensable, so it is better to give limited resources to our other states.

After reading the last word and confirming that it was written in the Spring and Autumn style, Zhou Chen burned the request for help as waste paper.

He casually took out a cigarette from a wooden box on the table and lit it with a fire stick. Zhou Chen leaned back on the chair behind him, half-closed his eyes and began to smoke.

The mellow tobacco entered his lungs, took away his heart and turned to be sprayed in the air.

Zhou Chen has been quite entangled recently.

Maybe there will be a big move from above. Since the beginning of spring, the Black Scale Guards of the entire Great Yan have started to operate at high load, and the middle and senior management in various places have basically entered the working state of twelve-hour rotation. As for Xizezhou, it cannot be said that there is nothing to do, but it can only be said that they can go home after working for two hours a day.

If the Third Young Master had not come to Xizezhou for inspection, Zhou Chen might have gone to the brothel after work with a clear conscience.

The bronze-skinned black-skinned prostitutes in the Western Desert have a different flavor.

But now, even if the matters at hand are finished, Zhou Chen has to be patient and continue to work.

The Third Young Master had already lost a lot of goodwill last time when he asked nothing. If the other party came to inspect again and found that he had fun in the brothel, he probably wouldn't have to work anymore in the future.

"Huh"

Another puff of smoke was exhaled, Zhou Chen's fingertips trembled, and some fireworks fell into the incense burner, and he said helplessly:

"A good housewife can't cook without rice, let alone intelligence."

Among the fourteen states of Da Yan, I'm afraid that only the Black Scale Guards in Xizezhou have not yet built a complete intelligence network. There are many reasons for this result, starting late, less funding, and the newly promoted talents were basically snatched away by the Black Scale Guards of other states at the end-of-year banquet.

But in addition to this, Zhou Chen also saw some other clues.

His immediate superior, Mr. Mu, seems to have started.

The directors of each continent of the Black Scale Guard have a lot of autonomy.

In the words of the Third Young Master, the directors of each continent can fully exert their subjective initiative.

As long as the task is completed and it does not involve the core interests of the Prime Minister's Office, all means are acceptable.

In other words, you can use all the third-rate means to get money and people.

If you have the ability, even if your own people are put in the position of prefect, the Prime Minister's Office will not stop it, but will build momentum for you in the court.

And what about Mr. Mu?

As far as Zhou Chen knows,

although Mr. Mu is doing his best to complete the tasks assigned by Di An, once the money and grain are used up, he can only wait until next year to continue.

He has hardly exerted any subjective initiative.

Over the past ten years, Mr. Mu has not only the most profitable Tatar Chao City in the Western Desert, but even the intelligence business of the Black Scale Guard is in a semi-abandoned state, with an additional income of only more than 100,000 silver taels per year.

When he first discovered this, Zhou Chen was happy to be free.

Because the third son died, he would most likely not continue to be promoted along this line, so it was of course very pleasant to have such a sensible and unpretentious boss.

But knowing that the third son was not dead, Zhou Chen had begun to have some complaints about this boss who was acting arrogantly these days.

If you lack money to do things, then make money.

With the violent organization of the Black Scale Guard in hand, there are too many ways to make money.

If you don't do these things and leave them to him, Zhou Chen, you can earn at least two to three million taels of silver every year in one continent.

But unfortunately, three days ago, when Mr. Mu returned to the capital, Zhou Chen went to him to express this wish, but was rejected by the other party.

Your mother's servant.

You don't want to make progress, but I still want to make progress.

Putting out the last burnt cigarette butt in the incense burner, Zhou Chen gently frowned, and said in a low voice with a hint of thought:

"The authority of the Zhenxi Prefecture is quite large. Maybe I can use the relationship of the third son to make a move first and report later, and directly take over the job?"

"What do you want to take over?"

"."

The gentle male voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and Zhou Chen subconsciously reached for the sword on the table, but after recognizing the familiar voice of the other party, he quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and used magic to clear the smoke in the room.

The afternoon sun sprinkled in from the open door. Zhou Chen's eyes slightly adjusted to the light and looked at the person outside the door. He immediately coughed and smiled:

"Young Master is worthy of being a genius. Now he can actually penetrate the sound-absorbing formation without being discovered by Zhou."

While flattering softly, Zhou Chen gently looked at the other person's expression. After discovering the gloom between his brows, his heart sank unconsciously.

While he was thinking, a fragrant wind passed by him.

The short woman next to the Third Young Master had already entered the room by herself against the white silk curtain.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen quickly moved aside:

"Master, please come in."

"."

Xu Yuan glanced at the indoor layout without responding, walked directly to the main seat and sat down.

This branch of the Black Scale Guard is located in an inconspicuous residential area, a not too big courtyard.

After taking off the curtain above his head and placing it on the table, Xu Yuan looked at the slightly embarrassed Grandmaster Zhou opposite him. Thinking of the cynical look on his face when they first met, Xu Yuan gently shook his head:

"Mr. Zhou, what did you want to do through my relationship just now?"

"."

The moment Zhou Chen heard this question, he secretly complained in his heart.

His words happened to be heard by the Third Young Master sooner or later.

If you don't report the matter, the Third Young Master will most likely be dissatisfied. If you report it, you will offend your immediate boss, and Mr. Mu is unlikely to be fired because of this.

However, after a brief thought, Zhou Chen immediately came to a conclusion.

Everything he does now is based on the relationship between the three young masters. He prioritizes everything and uses the interests of the third young master as the basis for everything.

After thinking about his words, Zhou Chen briefly introduced what he had just thought about, and then carefully waited for the Third Young Master's instructions.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Xu Yuan looked at Zhou Chen and sighed softly, and uttered four words:

"It's too late."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen was slightly stunned and subconsciously wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Yuan raising his hand.

After summarizing this information, Xu Yuan looked at Zhou Chen with a slight sigh in his eyes:

"Mr. Zhou, you can only see such a simple test now?

"Mr. Mu's actions are well known to Di'an. Is it really because Lou Ji transferred you, my direct descendant, here to let you retire here?"

"."

Ruined.

Zhou Chen's mind went blank for a moment, but then became active again.

No, it's not over yet.

If the third young master is ready to give up on him, then it is impossible to say such things to him.

Zhou Chen immediately bowed solemnly and said in a deep voice:

"Zhou Chen feels unworthy of the kindness of the young master, please punish him."

"Stop pretending to me here."

Xu Yuan leaned back on his chair slightly tiredly and said calmly:

"Being able to make changes immediately after seeing me is barely qualified, but remember, this is the last time."

"Yes." Zhou Chen bent down even lower.

Xu Yuan did not allow Zhou Chen to be exempted from the courtesy. He let him stand for a while and suddenly asked softly:

"You just said that Mr. Mu has returned to Zhenxi Mansion?"

Zhou Chen tentatively raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Yuan's expression. After seeing the other person's expression, his heart trembled unconsciously and he said honestly:

"Yes, Mr. Mu returned to the state capital three days ago."

Xu Yuan lightly pressed the table with his long index finger and said:

"Go and prepare a communication crystal, and then ask Mr. Mu to come see me."

"The communication source crystal will be ready immediately."

Zhou Chen hesitated slightly and reminded in a low voice:

"Mr. Dan Mu, with your current status as Young Master"

"Ding-ding."

With a crisp sound, a token was thrown at Zhou Chen's feet.

Xu Yuan waved his hands impatiently and whispered:

"Chief Black Scale's token. When you see an order, you will go back as quickly as you see a person."

"yes."

Zhou Chen picked up the token and left the room in an instant.

Before leaving, he unconsciously glanced back at the room, but happened to meet the third young master's indifferent eyes.

"."

Shivering unconsciously, Zhou Chen immediately rushed to where Mu Qing was.

In the past few years, the Third Young Master has changed a lot.

After Zhou Chen left,

Tianye sat down directly on the table, crossed his legs, and drew circles in the air with his soft toes:

"Is such an unmotivated person worthy of your protection?"

"Good ability and loyal."

"If he was truly loyal, he wouldn't wait until you showed up to change."

"Loyalty to interests is also loyalty."

Xu Yuan glanced at her and said casually: "If you can survive this incident, you can be useful."

Hearing this, Tianye's red lips hidden under the white gauze curtain curled up slightly:

"You seem to have figured out what to do?"

Xu Yuan nodded slightly and whispered in a calm voice:

"Your joke earlier reminded me of something I had overlooked before."

"That sentence?"

"That bitch."

"Eh~"

Tianye's eyes flashed with a smile, he chuckled and turned around, stepped on Xu Yuan's thigh with his bare feet and pressed gently, saying with a smile: "Do you think that dog is really a wolf?"

"Of course not possible."

Xu Yuan casually held the girl's ankle and tried to move her away, but when he found that she couldn't move it, he gave up and said softly: "If the desert wolf could enter the city, Zhenxi Fucheng would have fallen long ago."

The girl habitually crossed her chest with her hands, tapped her chin with her index finger, and tilted her head:

"If it's not this, then what exactly did I remind you?"

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and whispered:

"The possibility of the Three Saints attacking the city."

"oh?"

"Before, I didn't believe that Mu Xingyi's family attacked the city for no reason, but if Li Junwu and the Desert Goddess are hiding in Zhenxifu City, then they have a reason to attack the city."

"Li Junwu is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhenxi. Why should she hide it when she returns to the city?"

"That woman Li Junwu is not an idiot. Based on what she and the Desert Goddess have experienced and the information, the Zhenxi Mansion must have been infiltrated by the Mu Chamber of Commerce. When she is not sure whether it is friend or foe, she will only trust her father, the Marquis of Zhenxi. "

"That makes sense. But I remember that the devilish couple probably have no grudge against the Desert Goddess."

"No."

Xu Yuan nodded lightly and glanced down at his palm: "But that holy ghost should have some kind of deal with the Qin family. I was bewitched by it before in Di'an City."

"Oh~"

Tian Ye raised his voice and said with a sweet smile: "Are you sure that this relationship can make that family risk the world's disapproval to attack the city?"

"I'm not sure, but it's possible, and who said it must be just the three of them attacking the city?"

"You mean the Lord of the Ancient Abyss?"

"Afterwards, the fall of Zhenxi Fucheng was blamed on Gu Yuan. Now Dayan doesn't have the energy to cross the Wanxing Mountains to attack Gu Yuan."

"."

After thinking seriously for a moment, Tian Ye stepped on Xu Yuan's thigh with Tian Yan's bare feet, curved her beautiful eyes and laughed softly:

"Then are you planning to notify the Zhenxi Mansion defenders in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"I have to confirm whether Li Junwu is in the city first."

Xu Yuan glanced at the other party's bare feet, and a smile finally appeared between his gloomy brows, and whispered: "The method is also very simple. I will ask Zhou Chen, the great master, to roar in a voice that only she and I know. If she is in Zhenxi Mansion, she will naturally come to me. "

Tianye curled his lips and said teasingly:

"You look happy."

"As long as this can be confirmed and a way to break the situation has emerged, why can't we be happy?"

"Really?" Tianye was noncommittal.

Xu Yuan ignored the teasing look in her eyes and asked softly:

"You should be able to sense the Willow Ghost Blade, right?"

"able."

"Has everything inside been swallowed up? It's too far away and I can't sense it clearly."

"I'm just a witness, I can't tell you, brother~"

"Tsk."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips, not expecting the other party to reveal the information.

After the words fell, the two fell into silence.

After burning the incense, Tianye suddenly jumped down from the desk, glanced in the direction of the door with interest, smiled slightly, and stood silently behind the desk.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door.

immediately,

A handsome middle-aged man wearing a black hooded suit slowly walked into the hall.

Mu Qing is here.

The moment he saw the other party, Xu Yuan suddenly understood why the other party acted badly.

The other party is injured,

And on top of that wound,

The ominous madness is occupying Liumu Ghost Blade.
