Chapter 105 Southern Border
Just as Bai Xiao finally followed the footsteps of his father Bai Wuya and became a scumbag on two boats, the royal spies far away in Baiye City also tended to turn into scumbags.
This is the underground shadow city of Baiye City, a huge building complex that is almost no less than the above-ground city. Unlike the above-ground world, every piece of land and every brick and stone in the Shadow City is the private property of the imperial royal family.
Among them, there is a Senran Hall, located in the core of Shadow City, and is separated from the underground palace of the royal family by a wall, fully demonstrating its special status as a royal family confidant.
This is the headquarters of the Imperial Royal Spy.
Now, this 1,200-year-old hall is trembling with a person's anger, and dust is constantly falling between the cracks of bricks and stones. Even the waiters on the edge of the underground palace are frightened by it.
"What a group of geniuses."
Zhang Wu, the director of the Spy Bureau in red, stood in the infinitely wide judgment square, with red hair burning like flames, and his invisible anger called for bloody storm.
Accompanied by the agitation, bloodshots gathered out of thin air in the square. The rain fell into mud, emitting an astonishing stench. The wailing sounds of countless resentful spirits intertwined and lingered in the mud, making the seven yellow-clad leaders kneeling below tremble.
Although these seven people are already senior officials of the Spy Bureau, any of them has the huge energy to call the wind and rain in the empire... but in front of this unique director, they are as small as an ant.
This Director Zhang Wu, who had been in office for less than three years, is incredible. During the three years of performance, there were more secret spies who died at his hands than during the previous three directors' reign!
What is even more incredible is that the royal family actually acquiesced to such atrocities!
Perhaps it was because he was disappointed with the long-term corruption and incompetence of the Spy Bureau, or perhaps it was because Zhang Wu, who was extremely powerful and close to the realm of the Grandmaster of Apocalypse, had special favors. In short, Zhang Wu was born and killed in the Spy Bureau.
"This report is the most ridiculous of all the reports I have signed since I performed my duties. Congratulations, I helped me break my performance record."
As he finished speaking, a giant arm that was stuck with white bones and rotten flesh suddenly condensed, and he grabbed a spy leader in yellow clothes.
"Liu Ke, those two drafts are from your subordinates. How do you want me to celebrate for you?"
The spy leader named Liu Ke only felt that he was held by the bone's hand, and his whole body began to rot... His life was at stake, and he had to do his best to survive.
"I will...repay ten times the shame that the Spy Service suffered today!" Liu Ke tried his best to breathe, and said, "But with the existing human resources and resources of the Spy Service, it is difficult to organize effective actions in Hongshan City. Moreover, Zhang Jincheng's affairs have also made the position of inspector a stain, and even the royal family is unwilling to do further research on this issue in a short period of time. Therefore, I think the matter will fall on the eldest princess!"
Speaking of this, Liu Ke could clearly see that his shoulders completely corroded and melted, revealing his pale bones... However, the rate of corrosion slowed down after all.
Zhang Wu still acknowledges his words.
Liu Ke quickly added: "The eldest princess's performance was indeed abnormal twice before. We have investigated and suspected her and..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ke found that his body corroded suddenly faster. He knew that he had encountered a forbidden zone. He quickly skipped the topic and continued: "But this time, we turned to her for open and open reasons. She will definitely understand our difficulties and understand how serious the reckless behavior of Hongshan Academy will cause... The eldest princess has been born and died for the empire throughout her life, and it is impossible to let go of such unstable factors that appear in the vital places of her heart."
thump.
Liu Ke finally landed on the ground, and the skeleton hand in the void also took back.
Zhang Wu restrained his anger and said in a creepy cold voice: "If you propose a plan, you will continue to implement it. Going to the Nanjiang River to ask for help from the eldest princess is a solution. After all, she is the most legitimate person to suppress Hongshan Academy. But you must also remember that Your Highness is the pillar of the empire. Every word and action you go there represents the secret service. If you have any rudeness and leave a bad impression on Your Highness, you don't have to come back."
Liu Ke nodded quickly like pounding garlic, not daring to be careless at all. This Lord Zhang Wu would definitely not be empty talk when he spoke and threatened.
"Also, hand this letter to Your Highness."
As he said that, the skeleton hand in the void stretched out again, but he just handed a letter frozen in amber to Liu Ke.
Liu Ke was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more questions. He took the amber tremblingly and put it away. He wanted to say something, but he saw that Zhang Wu's figure had disappeared without a trace.
In the Judgment Square, all the yellow-clothed leaders felt relieved, as if they had returned to the earth from hell.
A yellow-clad colleague came over and patted him on the shoulder, instantly healing his physical injuries, and said, "Liu Ke, it's all up to you this time."
"Yes, we can't stand it if we do this again."
"If you need help, just talk. This is not your family's business."
"In the southern Xinjiang, I have some resources, so why not leave it to you to use it first."
Liu Ke listened to these words full of friendship with comrades, and smiled sarcastically in his heart.
Three years ago, when these words were said, they would laugh at each other. The seven yellow-clad leaders were completely life-and-death.
However, after the new director Zhang Wu took office, under the oppression of this ruthless butcher, the internal struggle between the seven yellow-clothed men quickly collapsed and formed a united front.
Of course, it is not a front line that competes with Zhang Wu, but a seven-person survival team.
The disaster is indeed caused by Liu Ke's subordinates, but if Liu Ke cannot handle it completely, no one of the seven people will be able to overcome it. So at this time, they all show their magical powers and overcome difficulties together.
——
With the help of all his colleagues, Liu Ke quickly followed the folding passage to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
This is the southernmost end of the territory of the Great Qin Empire, a dense rainforest that can never be cut down and a barbaric spirit that can live in it and kill it.
The war in this territory has lasted for hundreds of years and consumed countless imperial essences. In the foreseeable future, war will not end...
However, in the past few hundred years, the empire has also gained countless benefits from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
No one will fight a war without profit. The rich products of southern Xinjiang, especially the wild spirits that have been harvested, are strategic resources that the empire can compete with the Holy Yuan Empire, which has a longer history and rich land. Under the leadership of excellent generals, the empire's efficiency in harvesting resources has reached an unprecedented peak.
When Liu Ke walked out of the passage, he felt a sultry moisture coming to his face, mixed with a strong smell of blood.
Around them were the noise of fierce battles, the shouts of soldiers, the sharp sound of metal and iron fighting each other, and continued. In the distance, a mountain-like giant moaned, trampling on the forest and the swamp slowly approached.
Damn it!
The yellow-clad leader started cursing in his heart at that time.
The group of wild spirits seemed to have begun to counterattack in a crazy spring again, and the empire's defense line was forced to shrink, so that even the folding passage area was reduced to the battlefield.
The time to come is really terrible. I don’t want to fight the wild spirits...
However, at this moment, the eldest princess's voice fell from the sky!
"The forward attacks and destroys their nests! The Rangers sweep the flying spirits! Then the earth spirit is handed over to me!"
The next moment, a huge burning meteorite fell from the sky and landed on the forest mountain.
The earth was shaking, and the rolling heat waves were swept away by the shock waves. The dense rainforest was blown away in an instant. The huge spirit of the earth like the mountain was shattered and turned into countless tiny flying spirits.
However, as soon as these flying spirits began to linger in the air, they suddenly showed a momentum of withering. The light quickly dimmed and eventually turned into countless ashes and fell to the ground.
The Grand Master Sanhua let out a crazy laugh that swept across the battlefield, and then said loudly: "Soldiers, clear the battlefield!"
"Long live!"
Accompanied by the soldiers' shocking cheers, the eldest princess slowly landed on the ground and came to Liu Ke.
"What are the Royal Spy here for? Death?"
Liu Ke's cold sweat broke out in an instant.
I almost forgot that when it comes to killing gods, Zhang Wu would bow his head to be a student in front of the eldest princess’s palace!
Holding the throbbing in his heart, Liu Ke said straight to the point: "I'm here... for help, about Hongshan."
