"Junk! Rubbish thing! Rubbish!!!"
"Bang!" The ink stone was thrown to the ground violently until it was completely destroyed.
Xiang Guang looked at the crooked-nosed man like a wild beast who wanted to swallow people and angrily cursed: "You're trash! Even Zhen Xu was killed. What the hell is going on? You have to tell me everything in detail. If not ... You're not gonna be the head of the intelligence agency anymore! "
Xiang Guang was so angry that he became riled up.
The heart of the man with the crooked nose stopped beating. As the head of the intelligence agency who knew many secrets about the Emperor, if he no longer held this post, there would only be one answer - he would be annihilated! An idea came to his mind. He immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to my investigation, killing Zhen Xu is one of the Gold Card Heavenly Net missions. Although we do not know who carried out the mission, judging from the situation at the scene, we can confirm one thing, that the killer Zhen Xu is a silver card killer! "
"Basic Trash!, I know very well the strength of Zhen Xu, the silver card killer? Nonsense, even his subordinates, the Nalan brothers, could definitely deal with the silver card assassins easily. Both of them were Innate fighters and Zhen Xu was even stronger than the Nalan brothers in overall strength. You're saying that those three people were killed by a silver card killer. Do you think I can trust him? Or maybe, you think I'm a moron," Xiang Guang said as he looked at the crooked-nosed man.
The crooked-nosed man smiled bitterly in his mind. He told the truth but the Emperor did not believe him.
"Your Majesty, Zhen Xu is very great. His personal bodyguard was really recruited and taken care of by himself so I knew nothing about it. This time there was the rest of the silver card assassin mask on the scene after he was killed, but I feel that the assassin must be a Gold Card Killer who confused Zhen Xu by wearing a silver mask. Zhen Xu can be killed after grossly underestimating his enemy, " said the crooked-nosed man hastily.
Xiang Guang pondered over it for a long time. Seeing that Xiang Guang did not seem to believe him, the crooked-nosed man came up with an idea and said: "Your Majesty, there is another possibility, namely Qin De, that is, The Prince Conqueror of the East was annoyed by Zhen Xu's presence so he sent a top-class fighter to kill him. Even the shards of the silvery mask might have been used by the Prince of Conquerors from the East to confuse us. "
The crooked-nosed man spoke in his own heart: "The Prince Conqueror of the East, sorry. At this crucial moment, I can only accuse you of everything. " The crooked-nosed man understood very clearly that, since Xiang Guang had always been suspicious of Qin De, if he blamed everything on Qin De, he would probably succeed.
Indeed indeed!
"really. It must be Qin De. He wanted to rebel but he was worried that Zhen Xu would find out about this rebellion so he sent someone to kill him. He was afraid that I would find that this was his deed so he tried to fool me with a broken silver mask. Humph, you idiot, why isn't he wearing a gold mask? Wouldn't that make things easier to believe?" Xiang Guang spoke to himself, his eyes glistening in a cold light. "However, I'm not that easy to cheat. Qin De, if you want to rebel, I will not hesitate over this. This time you killed Zhen Xu, broke one of my wings. Alrighty! Alright!!!"
Xiang Guang was furious.
Zhen Xu was a very important person to him. For over the past 20 years, every time Xiang Guang had difficulty in finding out whether someone was unfaithful or hostile to him or possessed a great treasure, he said, so he always sent Zhen Xu to investigate and deal with the matter. And Zhen Xu had never disappointed him. Possessing Zhen Xu, made Xiang Guang able to sit back and relax.
Although Qin De was extremely cunning, Zhen Xu was still able to discover many secrets from the Prince Conqueror of the East. Zhen Xu was obviously very important to Xiang Guang.
However, Zhen Xu was now dead.
Although there were still many spies who were under the command of the intelligence chief, these spies were very far below Zhen Xu's abilities. For Xiang Guang, Zhen Xu's death was the same as the loss of one wing, so how could he not be angry? How could he not grit his teeth? Moreover, he directed all this hatred towards Qin De.
Xiang Guang had been having recurring nightmares for many years. Then recently he discovered that Qin De wanted to rebel. Now the person he valued the most, Zhen Xu, had also been killed by Qin De.
"Qin De, if I don't destroy your Qin clan, how can I be satisfied?" Xiang Guang crushed the teacup in his hand with a firm grip. His eyes were burning with anger. At this moment, Xiang Guang made another decision in his mind. "Tell Yi Yan to come to my place. You can leave now. "
The crooked-nosed man quietly breathed a sigh of relief as Xiang Guang obviously would not be angry at him due to this matter. For him, working in the emperor's kingdom was like being in a tiger-owned company. Every time he did something near the Emperor, he had to be extremely careful.
"Yes, please let me go." Said the crooked-nosed man while bowing.
Xiang Guang remained motionless from the imperial study room, staring at the shattered ink stone. Although his eyes focused on the shattered ink stone, Xiang Guang clearly thought of something else. Not long after, footsteps could be heard from outside the room.
"Yi Yan, please come in." Xiang Guang's voice.
Yi Yan looked extremely evil and unusual. He had the face of a young man but he had actually been an Innate fighter for over 40 years. This was because an Innate fighter could live up to 500 years and once they reached Innate level, their aging would slow down.
"Your Majesty." Said Yi Yan after slightly bowing.
Xiang Guang thought for a while then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, tell Zhu San I have agreed to the proposal. But every ingredient from the Toothed Tiger Sword's body must be sent to me, especially those 16 sharp swords. None of them can be lost. "
Yi Yan raised his eyebrows. The corner of his lips slightly curved upwards, then he bowed and said: "Your Majesty is brilliant. Zhu San had guaranteed that as long as he had the Trans-Heaven diagram, he would hand over the entire corpse of the Toothed Tiger Sword monster without storing any parts. "
"Good." Xiang Guang smiled coldly. "I'm not sure that Zhu San will dare to deceive me."
Zhu San was known for his reputation as Magnate[1] no. 1 on the Qian Long continent and was based in the Ming kingdom. His business had spread throughout the entire Qian Long continent. The impact is huge. Using some unknown method, a group of his elite subordinates were able to kill a demonic beast. The Sword-Toothed Tiger that looked like a giant tiger with 16 sharp sword-shaped spines standing on its back, where all of its durations were extremely sharp and its strength could be considered a high-tier Xian weapon. Moreover, the sharp claws of this saber-toothed tiger, could be turned into weapons. Hence, killing this Sword-Toothed Tiger was just like finding a living treasure storehouse.
It was possible that only Shangxian could match the prowess of this Sword-Toothed Tiger. Only heaven knew what method Zhu San used to kill this tiger.
"Your Majesty, Magnate Zhu San has many secret bases. Since they were currently killing the Sword-Toothed Tiger in the Wilderness of Luas, they were now living in a secret base on the edge of a town near Belantara Luas. They could not openly transport the tiger to the Ming dynasty so they had no choice but to cut it first in the city and then bring their body parts back to the city. However, the city was in the three Eastern regions." Said Yi Yan bowing.
Hearing this, Xiang Guang also understood that this matter was somewhat troublesome.
Luas Belantara is in the easternmost part of the continent and the kingdom of Chu is next to Luas Belantara. The eastern three regions of the Chu kingdom were three regions adjacent to the wilderness. In general, anyone wishing to enter the Wilderness of Luas must pass through three Eastern regions. However, these three Eastern territories were under the control of Qin De.
In the past, Qin De would not dare to seize the tiger body openly but it was hard to say what Qin De would do at this time.
"Yi Yan, tell your father Elder Yi to personally lead a group of fighters to the three Eastern regions and trade with Magnate Zhu San." Xiang Guang gave the order. Yi Yan said respectfully at once: "Yes, as long as my father acts, nothing is wrong."
Xiang Guang suddenly laughed out loud: "Ha-ha, I only have a second Trans-Heaven diagram. Without gathering all three Trans-Heaven diagrams, it was impossible to know the mysterious techniques stored within them. Moreover, throughout history, many talented people and even cultivators had obtained diagrams or gathered all three of them but no one had ever known the secret of such diagrams. I only have 1 diagram, so it's useless. Swapping a useless Trans-Heaven Diagram for the Toothed Tiger Sword must have been more useful and worth it. "
Yi Yan bowed and said: "Zhu San only likes to collect treasures. He only wanted to have 1 diagram to satisfy his curiosity.
"Alright, Yi Yan, make sure there are no mistakes at this time. By obtaining that Toothed Tiger Sword, I will have quite a number of high-tier Xian weapons. Not only Elder Yi, you should also send some more Innate fighters. Remember, make sure there are no mistakes at all, " said Xiang Guang again.
If the Sword-Toothed Tiger's body was captured by Qin De, it would be no different from Xiang Guang himself who gave Qin De a wedding gift. Giving Qin De a series of good weapons instead of using them for himself, Xiang Guang definitely could not let this happen.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. When my father acts, he won't let you down." Said Yi Yan while bowing.
Thinking about Yi Yan's father, Elder Yi, Xiang Guang also felt confident.
