"Sigh, that old brat wanted you to become his disciple. I don't know if I should rejoice for him or silently mourn for him! "You truly are a monster." Cui Ziyi sighed heavily and slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Is there any restriction on me in the order?" Gongsun Ztian didn't care about these things. He was more concerned about the success of this mission, so he went straight to the point.
"There is no restriction on your authority, all the people in the northern Surveillance Council listen to your orders, whoever disobeys your orders, kill without pardon, this old man will personally carry it out; if it is because of your presumptuous command, causing heavy injuries to the members of the Surveillance Council, the old man will also kill without mercy, this old man will also be the one in charge of the matter!" Do you dare to accept this command?! " As he brought up the main topic, Cui Ziyi glared at Gongsun Zaitian fiercely, as if a fiend had descended from the heavens.
"Haha, why would I not dare!" "Brat, let me show you what 'Tactics of the Sword' means!" Gongsun Ze Tian laughed loudly into the sky. He suddenly stood up and proudly answered!
"Alright, you're brave enough. From now on, all the people in the north of Surveillance Council will cease taking on the missions in their hands. All of them will be given to you to arrange!" Cui Ziyi also laughed out loud, then stood up, ignoring the angry look in his eyes, he laughed and said.
"I will have to trouble Elder to inform everyone. Tomorrow afternoon, five military camps will be set up, and a pre-battle meeting will be held. All Surveillance Council s that are at the main level and above will be present, no one is allowed to be absent!" Gongsun Ze Tian nodded his head and slightly bowed as he instructed Cui Ziyi.
"This old man accepts the orders!" Cui Ziyi said in a clear voice before he left in large strides, following Gongsun Ze Tian's instructions.

Inside the Fengyang City, in the residence of the Xiahou Family.
At this time, Xiahou Junyu's Fourth Uncle was excitedly running towards his nephew's room. In his hands, he was tightly clutching an envelope, the facial features of his face were like wrinkled chrysanthemums, and a multicolored light was blossoming on his face, making it hard to tell if he was smiling or crying! Or maybe he just couldn't help smiling bitterly!
However, from his agile footsteps, it was obvious that he had something important to discuss with Xiahou Junyu, because he relied on his forty odd years of age to run towards Xiahou Junyu at the speed of a 100 m tall warrior. He really did not know if he should call him 'old cow, fly' or 'two cows knock down'?
"Oh, there's no need to worry. Good news, there's no need to worry!" Before he even reached the door, this Fourth Uncle already started shouting. His tone revealed an uncontrollable excitement, as if he would be born into the world in the next second.
When Xiahou Junyu heard his Fourth Uncle running outside, calling him, he was immediately curious. He quickly pulled up his pants and waved his two servants away. The two female attendants bowed with their heads lowered before retreating. However, there were still some imperceptible drops of milky white liquid hanging from the corners of their mouths.
"What's wrong, fourth uncle!" After Xiahou Junyu finished tidying up, he looked at his body and saw no flaws. Then, he casually picked up a book on the desk and walked towards Fourth Uncle while asking his question.
Without even looking at the two retreating maids, Fourth Uncle quickly pulled his nephew into the room. He glanced around the room to make sure there were no other servants around before turning around and closing the door. He quickly arrived at his nephew's side, and the smile in his eyes could not be suppressed any longer.
Fourth Uncle lowered his voice, and said to Xiahou Junyu with an extremely excited voice: "The silver is settled, haha, it's done!"
"Really?" Xiahou Junyu was startled at first, then his smile crawled all over his face as he asked Fourth Uncle this in disbelief. After all, such a large sum of money could not be settled easily. Even if the Xiahou Family was rich and powerful, it was not something that could be collected in a short period of time. After all, they did not need silver notes, but rather a few platinum banknotes, how could they be comparable to true gold and silver?
Even the bank would need less than half a month to raise 500,000 silver taels. However, it would only take a few minutes for them to exchange the banknotes for 500,000 silver taels.
In that case, the money was easy to get, but the silver was really hard to get. Yet, such a thorny problem had been resolved in such a short period of time. Xiahou Junyu could not help but be extremely shocked, and even found it hard to believe.
"That's right, this is a letter from your father, he said that your second uncle has already agreed, at most, no more than ten days, the silver will arrive in Fengyang City, he wants us to check and accept it!" As Fourth Uncle spoke, he passed Xiahou Junyu a letter and told him the contents of the letter at the same time.
Forget about Xiahou Junyu being skeptical at the moment, even Fourth Uncle himself seemed to be immersed in a dream-like dream. Although he was a businessman, he had never seen so much silver in his life, the nature of a businessman seeking profit. On Fourth Uncle's body, it was obvious that some people were 'happy to see silver', but his mood was extremely joyful to the point that it was crazy with joy.
"That's great! When that time comes, I will pull this silver to find the people of Surveillance Council, and see if they still dare to look down on me! " As Xiahou Junyu listened to Fourth Uncle's words, he opened the letter and read its contents repeatedly. Only then did his heart relax back into his stomach, and he couldn't help but clap and praise.
Ever since he had been humiliated repeatedly by Zhao Yiyang and Di Yutang, this matter seemed to have become a knot in Xiahou Junyu's heart, and it was even more so a lingering nightmare. To the young master from a rich family, who had grown up in the palm of his hand while being surrounded by stars, this was an intolerable humiliation, and was even an unforgettable pain.
This huge sum of money was the only thing Xiahou Junyu used to break through his mental knot. He even fantasized countless of times about putting this huge sum of money in front of the two, and many times he had even dreamed of the two kneeling before him and crying as they scolded him 'blind with eyes' and 'ignorant of Mount Tai'.
The hatred in his heart, was even more obvious, sharper, and more difficult to dispel. If this kind of demon was not lured out to the root of Xiahou Junyu's heart, then in Xiahou Junyu's entire life, it would be very difficult for him to break through to the eighth level of cultivation in terms of his mental state.
Although many of them were stuck at the fourth to the fifth level, very few people knew that the real bottleneck was advancing to the eighth level from the seventh level. At that time, if one's mental state could not maintain a steady pace, then it would not be as simple as being unable to advance one's mental state, and the light cultivators would not be able to advance an inch in their entire life.
"Congratulations, eldest nephew. It seems that your rise in status is just around the corner!" His fourth uncle was still congratulating his eldest nephew who was standing in front of him with complacency. He was completely oblivious to the twisted and hideous expression on his face, as well as to the surging waves within his heart.
"Hmph, the Surveillance Council is definitely something that I, Xiahou Junyu, have in mind!" Xiahou Junyu was not one bit happy with Fourth Uncle's congratulatory words. Instead, he asked back with a stern 'hmph', as if he was trying to vent the pain and depression in his heart. His words were even colder, and his tone was unspeakably resolute and bloody, as if his Surveillance Council residence carried the intent to slaughter.
"When my eldest nephew ascends to the throne of the President of the Council, you must not forget about me, your fourth uncle!" The fourth uncle was still hesitating, even fawning on his nephew.
"That's only natural, this time we still have to thank fourth uncle for his help!" Xiahou Junyu laughed lightly, cupped his fists to Fourth Uncle and politely replied. His etiquette was not very good, as if he was bowing to someone of the same generation. This kind of behavior was actually very rude, but Xiahou Junyu was not aware of it at all, as if he was a high and mighty decision maker who looked down on everyone in the world.
"As long as your eldest nephew has any benefits, don't forget Fourth Uncle, you're more qualified than anything else!" Fourth Uncle felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, but he was, after all, still a very experienced person. He laughed as he concealed the contempt and displeasure in his heart, and said while patting Xiahou Junyu on the shoulder. It was as if he was treating this junior's attitude.
"Please be at ease, Fourth Uncle. In Xiahou Family, as long as my father and I exist, we will definitely protect the interests of your bloodline! That's right, does Fourth Uncle have any information on the people from Surveillance Council? " Seeing the big hand that was about to land on his shoulder, Xiahou Junyu slightly bowed. He had originally wanted to dodge, but in the end, he still stopped and calmly allowed his fourth uncle to pat him, then immediately changed the topic.
Other than waiting for the news from his clan's side, Xiahou Junyu was waiting for the spy sent by Fourth Uncle to deliver some useful information to him. After all, he left the Surveillance Council without permission. Although he did not do it on purpose, he was enjoying himself inside the Fengyang City after all.
As a result, Xiahou Junyu was especially interested in finding out about the movements of the Surveillance Council as well as finding information related to the other candidate. After all, he knew himself and his opponent, although he did not know what degree the other party knew him to now, he at least wanted to know the other party's name and age, and whether he was a man or a woman!
The most important thing was that he needed to know the other party's progress. If the mission was the same as his, then would the other party be able to find the silver taels? How much faster would he be? These were all things that Xiahou Junyu needed to worry about, and the only way was to send spies over, and investigate the relevant information to the best of his abilities.
"No, Surveillance Council is really an intelligence expert, her defense is watertight. The people that we went to investigate, they were basically killed over there!" Mentioning this matter, Fourth Uncle shook his head with a serious face, and spoke to Xiahou Junyu with a gloomy face.
Hearing the words' halberd ', Xiahou Junyu's heart also violently sunk. Fourth Uncle spoke in a very tactful manner, but he knew that this meant that not only did he not obtain any information from the spies, he had also died there.
