Chapter 12 Sudden Rumor

Suddenly talking about the Eastern Expedition made the atmosphere dignified.

In the past, the western countries organized many expeditions to the east, but most of them ended in failure; occasionally there were small victories, but they were quickly counterattacked by the eastern countries.

Zhang Hao lowered his head, but his heart became more and more determined: the rich mineral resources, coupled with the monopoly of commercial routes and the shadow of war, forced me to follow the rhythm of industry.

The meal was in the evening, and when it was about to end, another maid came in, "I would like to report to all distinguished guests, there is a rumor being discussed downstairs, after careful consideration, Jiuzhen Building thinks it is necessary to inform all distinguished guests."

"Please tell me." Zhang Shengde said.

Maid: "Half an hour ago, there was a sudden rumor downstairs that Cuizhufeng, the master of Zixu temple, and Taoist priest Mingxu were related to the massacre of the Guan family a year ago.

Moreover, Taoist Master Ming Xu obtained a treasure map from the Guan family, which is related to the legendary "Overseas Nine Immortals Mountain".

Many people are planning to go to Zixu Temple tomorrow to ask for clarification. "

"What!" Everyone was surprised, especially Ji Butong, who stood up all of a sudden.

Ji Different's expression was complicated, and there was faint anger, "The Guan family is a family affiliated to the Nine Suns Sect. It was suddenly wiped out a year ago. The reason is unknown and the murderer can't be found. I'm going to visit Zixuan tomorrow!

Hey, as a Taoist temple in a holy place, there have been a lot of scandals recently! "

Zhang Hao was thoughtful: "Why did the rumor appear at this time?"

The maid replied: "It started suddenly, maybe the source is not in Jiuzhen Building."

Everyone looked at each other and got up one after another, saying that this matter must be investigated immediately.

…………

When we returned to the shop, it was already night; Zhang Hao put two big food boxes in front of Zhang Han, "Brother, here you are."

"Thank you." Zhang Han took the food box, sat down and ate.

The delicacy from Jiuzhen Building is unquestionable, but the price... there is no doubt, there are more than 20,000 spirit stones in total, no discount! By the way, Zhang Hao also got a crimson "VIP Token".

But after Zhang Shengde came back, he sat in the hall all the time, as if he was waiting for someone. Zhang Hao was very curious, but Zhang Shengde didn't explain, just said to wait.

Zhang Hao was bored and started to practice. Just to absorb the medicinal properties of Jiuzhenlou delicacies.

When the time quietly came to midnight, Zhang Shengde suddenly said, "Here we come. Xiaohao, make tea and welcome the distinguished guests!"

It doesn't matter if there are guests in the middle of the night, but they are still distinguished guests?

When Zhang Hao was preparing the tea, Zhang Shengde slowly opened the door, and there was already a middle-aged man in purple robe standing at the door with a smile; this person was a little fat, and his smile was a little naive.

But for some reason, seeing this person and this smile, Zhang Hao felt a little chilly in his heart. That's... a little sense of crisis!

After sitting down, Zhang Hao served tea, and Zhang Shengde said: "Xiaohao, this is the steward of Yeyue Tower, Bai Ye, surnamed Bai, named Ye, Ye Ye, you can call him Uncle Bai."

"Zhang Hao met Uncle Bai."

Bai Ye smiled slightly: "I didn't bring any good things when we met for the first time, so I'll give this to you. As long as an invisibility talisman is activated, within half an hour, it's hard to find, even for ordinary Jindan stage."

This is a piece of ordinary-looking jade talisman, the size of a palm, and the jade color is mixed; only the majestic aura that comes out faintly makes Zhang Hao startled.

Zhang Shengde was a little surprised: "Thank you, Uncle Bai. This is a talisman, which can be regarded as a one-time magic weapon! Because the talisman has low requirements for use, its value is even more precious than the top magic weapon!"

"It's just a little thing, I usually practice my hands." Bai Ye took Zhang Hao's tea, turned to Zhang Shengde and said, "Old Zhang, we are all acquaintances, so I'll just say it straight. I want the remaining three pieces of black iron." Yes. Give me a real price."

"A total of three tons, 15% discount, minus the odds, a total of 150,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Okay, that's interesting!" Bai Ye unequivocally waved to the outside, and someone came in immediately.

Zhang Hao was taken aback. He didn't see anyone outside just now, and there were ten of them! These guys just seemed to come out of nowhere.

Not only that, these guys didn't even make a sound when they did things. Put down the spirit stone, lift up the black iron, and disappeared with a whoosh.

Zhang Hao's eyes widened, what the hell!

Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled: "Didn't your father tell you that Yeyuelou is an organization responsible for assassinations and intelligence?"

"Ah...so that's the case!" Zhang Hao suddenly realized, no wonder! No wonder you come to the door in the middle of the night, walking like a ghost~~~

Bai Ye seemed to enjoy Zhang Hao's expression, turned to Zhang Shengde and said, "Thank you. I have two messages, do you want to hear them?"

"If you can make Manager Bai point it out specifically, you must listen!"

"The rumors that suddenly appeared during the day were released by the Qian family; and one of the purposes of the Qian family is to ensure that you will go to Zixuguan tomorrow, so that it is convenient to ambush!"

"So it is!" Zhang Shengde suddenly realized. With this rumor and so many people as 'companions', Zhang Shengde will definitely take the opportunity to go to Cuizhu Peak tomorrow to seek justice.

Bai Ye smiled, "So, do you want to know where the Qian family is ambush? Do you want to know their strength? Do you need to hire a shadow bodyguard for Zhang Hao?"

Zhang Shengde was speechless: "I knew it was no good to give it away for free! I need to know all the information and hire an experienced shadow bodyguard for Zhang Hao!"

"Haha..." Bai Ye was a little proud, "Thanks to review, the information price is 500 spirit stones.

The price of bodyguards in the later stage of Jindan is 30 spirit stones per hour. If there is a battle, all consumption, etc., will be calculated at double the market price. "

"make a deal."

Bai Ye smiled and said to Zhang Hao: "The bodyguards have arrived, they are three feet behind you."

arrive? Zhang Hao's eyes widened, and there was nothing around him.

Is it three feet behind you? Zhang Hao's eyes widened and he looked carefully for a long time before finally discovering a flaw. "What a brilliant invisibility technique! I almost didn't notice it."

This time it was Bai Ye's turn to be surprised: "Did you see it? How is it possible, it's hard to find even in the foundation building period!"

Zhang Hao pointed to the ground and said, "Look at the shadows on the ground. The light from the jade lamp on the wall is in a diffuse state, but a part of the shadow here seems to have been cut."

This time, it was Zhang Shengde's turn to laugh loudly: "Old Bai, bring it!"

Bai Ye smiled helplessly, but still readily took out three high-grade spirit stones from his bosom and sent them to Zhang Shengde. He explained to Zhang Hao:

"A long time ago, there was a rule that whoever finds our shortcomings and corrects them will be rewarded with at least one high-grade spirit stone."

Is that so? Zhang Hao understood, and looked at the edge of the shadow again: the edge of the normal shadow is blurred, with a gray transition, which is caused by the diffraction of light; but the shadow after invisibility does not.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Hao didn't say anything, as long as he knows it himself!

After Bai Ye left, Zhang Hao saw the message left by Bai Ye:

Zhang Hao's recovery and the Zhang family's outbreak made the Qian family panic again; so they found Miao Feihu and the Feihu mercenary group, and prepared to ambush Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde.

And in order to ensure that the Zhang family would "definitely" go to Zixuguan, the Qian family released rumors.

In addition, Bai Ye has another speculation in the message: the reason why the Qian family was able to coerce Zi Xuguan to curse Zhang Hao at the beginning is probably also related to the current rumors.

Zhang Haoruo thought: "The Qian family discovered the handle of Zixuguan, and used it to blackmail Zixuguan to put a curse on me. But now not only the curse has failed, but the Qian family is in crisis, so the Qian family became furious and exposed Zixuguan's misdeeds to me." It's made public!

The Qian family is killing two birds with one stone! "

Zhang Shengde nodded, "The place where the Qian family ambushed turned out to be Luhua Town! What a surprising place!"

Zhang Han took out a crude map and said, "Luhua Town is 30 miles east of the county, except for a piece of reed, there is almost no terrain to use, and it is under the eyes of the city lord.

The Qian family, why are you crazy? "

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, this is the so-called 'attacking the unprepared and being unawares'. The law of war says: plan to attack the heart! Therefore, the location of the ambush does not necessarily have to pay attention to geographical advantages, but also psychological advantages!"

"Not bad!" Zhang Shengde glanced at Zhang Hao in surprise again. After a short pause, Zhang Shengde said again: "Xiaohao, Dad has some doubts and wants to ask you."

Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat.
