Shang Liyue settled down, revealing a serious expression.

"My dear, do you know how many of Quan Dashang are believers in the Three Gods?"

Li Xin shook his head.

"Ninety percent!"

hissed ......

Although Li Xin had expected it, he still felt a chill in his back when he heard this number.

How can this be done.

Now he didn't know exactly what the gods were, what their purpose was, or why they did it.

If they were really enemies, Li Xin didn't even know what the strength of the other party was.

The most important thing is, if there is a real war, will those believers be on the side of the Great Shang Dynasty?

You must know that faith is a very powerful thing.

The two were silent for a long time, and Li Xin sighed heavily.

Now they can't do anything but secretly send people to spy on the temple of the three gods.

They are behemoths that have taken root in this continent thousands of years before the big merchants, and if they make a rash move, it is very likely to lead to an uncontrollable situation.

With the hint given in the Bright Maiden Divine Hall system last time, Li Xin could at least confirm a little.

The system and these gods are definitely not one front.

"That's it, let this go beforehand. Li Xin reluctantly spoke, and then asked another question.

"Old City Lord of Cloud City, has there been any movement lately?"

According to the reaction when interrogating the old bustard that day, this old city lord named Zhao Qiu was most likely the force behind the other party.

But because there is no evidence, even the empress has nothing to do with him.

Shang Liyue shook her head slightly, "I have sent someone to monitor it all day, and the other party has not shown any abnormality.

Li Xin frowned when he heard this.

As the old city lord, the other party is involved in too many places.

Without a reason, if Zhao Qiu was "invited" to come over for tea for no reason, in the eyes of other old city lords, it would definitely be judged as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Li Xin pondered for a moment, and then had an idea in his heart.

"That's it, lady, you send someone out, saying that I am going to visit the old city lord in Shangwang City one by one during this time, and I will personally meet him for a while. "

OK. "

......

In order not to leave room for others to reverie, Li Xin took Sanghuai to all the old city lords' homes during this time.

The last one to visit is Zhao Qiu.

"Lord Wangfu, you are not welcome.

Zhao Qiu stood at the door of the mansion, his face wrinkled with a smile.

Even with his age, his body still looks strong.

"You're welcome, I don't happen to be free lately, I want to come and see the old gentleman. "

Your Excellency, please.

Zhao Qiu led the two into the living room.

"Your Majesty has been doing well?" he asked as soon as he sat down.

"Your Majesty is all right, but the old gentleman is okay with peace of mind in the palace recently, can you Xi still live here?"

Li Xin glanced at the simple furnishings in the room, and said politely.

"Let the adults worry, everything is fine with the old decay. "

The two of you, you and I'll make small talk for a while.

Li Xin couldn't help but be curious when he saw that there was only one maid serving by the other party's side from beginning to end, and there was no trace of anyone else's life.

"The old gentleman has no children under his knees?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qiu showed a look of embarrassment.

"The old man once had a son who was sent out by the first emperor to crusade against the monsters who came to attack, and unfortunately died on the battlefield. "

Well, old gentleman's day is mourning.

Li Xin hurriedly said a word of comfort, and began to think about it in his heart.

According to his experience of playing countless games and dealing with many NPCs, there is no simple old man who has no children and no daughters and has rights in the past.

Thinking of this, Li Xin said tentatively: "I wonder if the old gentleman is still concerned about Cloud City? What happened over there some time ago attracted His Majesty to come in person." "

Oh, I've only heard about it, I really don't know what happened?"

The expression on Zhao Qiu's face was very eager, and he seemed to be very interested in Cloud City.

Li Xin looked indifferent, and said without hurrying or slowing: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I happened to be over there two months ago, and I caught a group of lawbreakers by the way, I remember what it was called the Viper Society."

With that, he stared into the other's eyes, trying to see some clues.

Zhao Qiu slapped his thigh when he heard this, and shouted "Okay".

"This poisonous snake will be a heinous person when he hears it, and he wants to arrest all the people who violate the law and discipline when he is the lord of the city.

At this point, he seemed to sigh with emotion, and let out a long turbid breath to calm himself down.

"Hongliang, this kid, was recommended by the old man to sit as the new city lord, but he didn't expect to be so uncompromising, and there were still so many evil forces hidden under his nose. "

Oh?"

Zhao Qiu reacted violently, but it didn't surprise Li Xin.

He smiled slightly, and continued with the other party's words: "What the old gentleman said is right, the city lord of Chang has already received the punishment, but it is a pity. "

What is a pity?" Zhao Qiu showed curiosity.

Li Xin sighed and said: "According to my investigation, there is a potential force behind the Viper Society, but unfortunately the boss of the Viper Society, by the way, the old gentleman doesn't know, their boss is actually the boss of a Qinglou." "

It's a pity that I used so many punishments for her, what waterboarding, burning at the stake, tiger chairs, finding a dozen strong men to torture for a day and a night, all that could be used, and finally this woman actually just humbly crawled to my feet and begged me to kill her.

When he said this, he was still observing Zhao Qiu's reaction.

The latter, however, only dilated his pupils slightly when he heard the torture for a day and a night, but quickly calmed down again.

On the contrary, Li Xin caught a glimpse of the maid behind him in the afterglow, and his body trembled a little unconsciously.

"It's a pity, if you can torture it, you can definitely return the peace to Cloudsdale. Zhao Qiu said regretfully.

"Who says it's not?" Li Xin quietly glanced at the maid, and looked at Zhao Qiu again without moving.

"Actually, I came to visit this time to ask the old gentleman if he had any clues.

Zhao Qiu's face was bitter, and he shook his head after being silent for a moment, "Please forgive me, my lord, I really haven't heard of such an organization as the Viper Society." "

It's okay, it's okay. Li Xin waved his hand, chuckled, and looked at each other with straight eyes.

"If you dare to do something in the territory of the big businessmen, the only end is a dead end, old man, do you think so?"

......

Out of Zhao Qiu's mansion, Sang Huai, who had not spoken, opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, do you see something?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly, "This old fox is really calm."

He turned his head and looked at the door of Zhao Qiu's house, his gaze gradually becoming solemn.

"That maid also has a problem, find a way to investigate her origins.

"Yes.

In the living room of the mansion, Zhao Qiu sat on a chair, his fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Ruexiang, you stay at home for the past two days, don't contact your master for the time being. The

maid who was called Rue Xiang was puzzled: "My lord, it is rumored outside that this prince is just a drunkard, why are you so afraid of him

?" "Drunkard?"

Zhao Qiu went back to the chair and found a comfortable position.

"This is not a drunkard, but a little fox, and I'm afraid he knows something but there is no evidence. The

words fell, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes.

"But it's still a little tender.

"Dare to threaten me, if you let him know how the emperor died, see if he still has the courage to do so."

Rue Xiang pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want me to find a chance to get rid of this prince?"

Zhao Qiu stopped it, and then rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.

"Go ahead, do as I say. "

Hey!".
