C325 Small meetings (1)

Is the Principal and the Eunuch Wei in the house? What did they do in this period of time? What were the arrangements after meeting His Majesty? At least in the entire continent, only His Majesty the Honglong Empire, the Principal and the Eunuch Wei knew of this.

On the other side, due to Gongsun Ze Tian's recovery, the speed of his troops had increased again. At the same time, in order to hide Gongsun Ze Tian's identity, he was no longer a general in charge of Northern Army.

Meanwhile, Gongsun Ztian had simply modified the armor into a close-fitting inner armor. Other than the change in appearance, the other functions were exactly the same, without the slightest change. This would also make it convenient for Gongsun Ztian to wear the Surveillance Council's special apparel.

"Say, aren't you being a little too low-key? The current you doesn't have a real appearance, is there a need to hide yourself so much? " Cui Ziyi rode his horse and rode beside Gongsun Ze Tian, lightly teasing him.

"I can't not hide it. Kid, you don't want to be so worried that you can't sleep at night!" Gongsun Ztian bitterly sighed and then replied in unison.

He wasn't really afraid of being ambushed, but he preferred to let people die in ignorance and confusion, causing his opponents to be extremely happy and sad. This was also the greatest joy of Gongsun Zaitian's life.

"But you have to admit, your method of hiding your appearance is really novel, much better than a normal disguise technique. If you tell this method to this old man one day, this old man will advertise it in the Surveillance Council, what do you think about it?" Cui Ziyi suggested with excitement. He even started to daydream that one day, the people of Surveillance Council would be able to gather all the information they had. As long as they had such a treasure, they could do it.

"Pei, let's first announce that I can only support you with one more treasure, and that you won't even have a chance!" Gongsun Ze Tian quickly stopped Cui Ziyi's crazy thoughts.

Gongsun Zaitian had been busy for two years before he had finally refined three sets of these things. One for himself, one for Leng Nuohan and one for Lan Er. Amongst the materials needed to refine the pill, there were a few that were particularly difficult to obtain, and all of them could only be found by chance and not sought. This old man had the guts to ask for them just like that when he had no idea, how could there be such a beautiful matter?

"One is not enough, at least a few hundred!" It's too good that it's not enough! " As Gongsun Ztian expected, the old man immediately became displeased and said in a loud voice.

"Scram! Old man, I'm telling you, there's not one more. What do you want? If you want to die, you can do so!" Gongsun Ze was furious. There were still several hundred pieces left? It would be great if he could give one piece, but he still wanted several hundred pieces! Where can I get it?

"F * ck, you want to make life difficult for me with your f * cking sincerity, right?" When the old man saw that Gongsun Zaitian was angry, he did not take it seriously at all. He used a tone that was even angrier than Gongsun Zaitian's and shouted at him.

"Old Master, calm down, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that this item is too complicated to make and the materials required are also very precious. I'm afraid that the Surveillance Council will go bankrupt because of this!" After all, a wise man does not take advantage of the situation when the odds are against him. This old man was the real Grade Nine Expert, and Gongsun Ze Tian's mental strength could only be compared to it. As for the other methods, his current strength was not enough for him.

Our Surveillance Council's economy is supporting the system. Although the imperial government has allocated funds to us every year, this sum of money is also symbolic. There are many places in the Surveillance Council that are truly rich, and if we were to rely on the imperial government to support us, our Surveillance Council would have already starved to death! Cui Ziyi laughed, his previous anger gone as though he had never been angry, and only heard him speak to Gongsun Ze Tian straightforwardly, not avoiding any secrets related to the Surveillance Council, which showed how much trust he had in Gongsun Ze Tian.

Gongsun Zaitian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at the old man's action. He wanted to resist, right? He might not be the old man's opponent, so he wanted to submit to him? That would be too depressing! After all, the heavy responsibility of finding Leng Nuohan still fell on the shoulders of the Surveillance Council.

"Old man, do you think I came out of the mountains? Even fools would know that there was a problem with the Surveillance Council's accounts, it was just that they were not clear about your expenses or your income. From what I understand, your Surveillance Council and the five great families have always had economic interactions, and the annual flow of funds between you and our Situ Family is not less than five hundred thousand. Not to mention that he could tell that there was something wrong with the Surveillance Council's accounts with just simple logical reasoning, he just thought that Surveillance Council had so many people and mouths, and just eating was a terrifying amount. How could he possibly rely on the income provided by the imperial government every year? If this wasn't bullshit, then what was?

"You investigated the Surveillance Council?" Cui Ziyi's voice was somewhat cold, as he lightly asked Gongsun Ze who was beside his.

"Don't say it's so foreign. This is called 'bottom line clearing'. At the very least, I have to know whether what I've taken over is a terrible mess or not, right?" Gongsun Ze Tian rolled his eyes at Cui Ziyi and helplessly replied.

Cui Ziyi pondered for a moment, and felt that Gongsun Zaitian's words were reasonable. After all, the Surveillance Council might really be handed over to this guy in the future. He did not pursue the matter of Gongsun Ze Tian investigating the Surveillance Council.

No one would be happy to be investigated in secret, let alone a senior intelligence agency. This was just like 'playing with a big blade in front of Guan Gong'. You even acted like you don't care, where would Guan Gong put his face? Wasn't this purely to ruin the situation? Therefore, it was no wonder that Cui Ziyi was so unhappy when he heard that the Surveillance Council was being investigated.

Cui Ziyi did not pursue this matter with Gongsun Ze Tian, but this did not mean that he was not someone to be trifled with. It was just that Gongsun Ze Tian was already considered to be part of the Surveillance Council, and he was even determined to be the successor. With his status, it was impossible for Cui Ziyi to treat him as an outsider. However, if it was someone from the inner sect who was investigating something, it would be considered a normal matter, so Cui Ziyi had even less intention to pursue this matter.

Cui Ziyi slanted his eyes and looked at Gongsun Ze Tian for a long time, then said: "You have guts, and your ability is not weak either. No one in the world would dare to investigate our Surveillance Council, but you did not only investigate clearly, you did not attract our Surveillance Council's attention.

"Don't be so cocky, old man, let's be more honest. When did you see through me?" Gongsun Ze Tian said in a soft voice, then choked in annoyance.

A crisp "pa" sound attracted the attention of the surrounding people. However, everyone immediately shifted their attention because this kind of scene happened several times a day. It was as if it would happen every once in a while.

"I can see that you have a tight skin. You feel uncomfortable every time you don't smoke!" Cui Ziyi was not done with beating people, he even had to say a few more words, with an unrelenting attitude, it made Gongsun Zaitian feel extremely resentful.

In Gongsun Ze Tian's eyes, this kind of 'getting what you want' action was simply a blatant violation of one's sovereignty. Despite Gongsun Ztian's furious glare, this old man still dared to say such words. It was clear that he was trying to stir up trouble.

"Lordmaster, you're too unreasonable, aren't you? Why do you always fight whenever you're asked to? Can't we just 'not fight if we can argue'?" Gongsun Zaitian was willing to go all out, he argued as he spoke to Cui Ziyi, at the same time, he also made a suggestion that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"This is difficult, get used to it!" Cui Ziyi boldly explained, but this sentence did not sound like a modest explanation, but more like overbearing humiliation.

"..." Gongsun Zaitian subconsciously pulled his horse out of the way and tried his best to stay away from the old man. Towards someone who could 'do something and never make a ruckus', it was best to stay away from him.

However, Gongsun Zaitian quickly adjusted his horse's head and returned to its original position because he saw that Cui Ziyi was fiddling with his [Ghost Moon Scythe Slash]. Not only did this remind him of another line, 'If you only make a move and don't make a ruckus, and you even have a real guy by your side, then don't even give him an opportunity to make a ruckus'!

? ?.

A hundred miles away from Gongsun Ztian's army, a huge encampment suddenly appeared in the mountain range. Although the green mountains were its companion and the waters were its waters, it was still unable to conceal the killing intent of the garrison.

In the tent, it was filled with people. Almost all of the higher ups of the Surveillance Council who were heading north to complete their missions were gathered, and even Zhao Yiyang and Di Yutang were called back urgently.

Although they did not know who was the person who was going to carry out the meeting, they had received a letter personally written by the Surveillance Council, so no one dared to slight this order. Moreover, the letter had a note at the end that emphasized on it, "As long as you are late or not here, you will be killed without pardon".

The leader was the Chief of the fifth branch, the one known as' Thunder Lord ', Lei Sheng. He did not speak, and the rest of the people did not either, the entire tent was completely silent, all of them stared at each other, some even directly closed their eyes to recuperate, probably because of the sore eyeball from the intense fight earlier.

Others were already snoring slightly, but the surprising thing was, why was his eyes still open? Could it be that the people from Surveillance Council have already mastered the 'Great Art of Open Eyes Sleep'?

His posture was like this. First, his body naturally leaned back in the chair, his whole body relaxed, his back arched in a half arc, his head lowered at a 45 degree angle, his eyes staring straight at his crotch, who knows how long he was studying it? Or was it the size? Or was it durability?
