Chu Family, Secret Room

"Young Marquis, there are no outsiders here."

"What happened?"

Chu Wujiang was surprised to see his old friend Lu Ce again. Lu Ce's face looked pale, as if something terrible had happened.

Before he could ask, Lu Ce said:
"Lord Longcheng, can we have a private conversation? This is related to the martial arts tournament."

"It's a confidential matter."

Chu Wujiang naturally would not refuse. Not to mention that Lu Ce could not possibly act as a death warrior, now that he had the End of the World Talisman on him, it would be difficult for anyone to hurt him except for a sneak attack from the Yuanling Realm.

The two of them quickly arrived at the secret room. Apart from Chu Wujiang and the old butler, there were no outsiders.

Lu Ce first checked the secret room, then took out a [Note-proofing Note] and pasted it on the wall of the secret room.

This kind of spell is not very useful. It will form a protective circle, strictly prohibiting the leakage of sound. Even some warriors with [special ears] will find it difficult to eavesdrop.

Seeing this, Chu Wujiang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The young marquis has always been thorough in his actions. He is so cautious. Could it be that there is another catastrophe in Longzhou?

After completing the entire process, Lu Ce took a deep breath and said:
"The martial arts tournament will be postponed, and the gambling funds raised this time will also be returned to each family."

"Please forgive me, Lord Longcheng."

ha?
Chu Wujiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Young Marquis, why are you making a fuss about nothing?"

"If there is a shortage of silver, the Chu family will certainly help you with all they have."

Lu Ce once promised that this gambling game could give the Chu family two hundred thousand taels of silver, and also gave him a fortune secret treasure, which allowed him to earn three hundred points of fortune. At worst, he could return it.

He received subsidies from the Taoist sect, so he could do things in a more generous manner.

Lu Ce hinted with his eyes and continued:
"Lord Longcheng, this gambling game involves millions of taels of silver, it cannot be taken lightly..."

As Lu Ce spoke, he took out a mirror from his arms and placed it on the table in the secret room.

Before Chu Wujiang could ask, the mirror emitted light and the appearance of Marquis Jingping appeared on the mirror.

hiss~
Chu Wujiang had never seen such a strange thing before. He didn't expect that this world could even make video conferencing.

Marquis Jingping said in a low voice:
[Master Chu, I specially asked my son to bring you a rare item. I have something important to discuss with you.]

[This mirror is infused with vitality, and you can say anything you want to hear without anyone eavesdropping.]

Marquis Jingping used the secret art of transmitting sound.

Chu Wujiang was startled. The Marquis of Jingping's Mansion was truly flawless in its work.

It was obvious that it was Marquis Jingping who wanted to talk to him, but he deliberately sent his son so that the two of them could discuss the gambling openly, while secretly using the mirror to communicate through the secret technique of sound transmission.

Even if the other party cracks the secret room and breaks the silent note, what they hear is still false.

What could be so worrying about Longcheng's top figure, Marquis Jingping?

Chu Wujiang suddenly had an epiphany, and he asked cautiously:

[My Lord, could this matter be related to the evil god? ]

[Nangong Hen, the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, is still alive. He is likely to summon the evil spirit.]

Jingping Hou's expression also changed several times. He used the mirror to transmit his voice, but he was still afraid that others would hear him:

[Lord Longcheng is truly powerful. I just got the information and came to inform you.]

[The three parties are closely connected, which naturally includes the exchange of intelligence. ]

Chu Wujiang cooperated with Lu Ce in acting and said with a wry smile:

[My Lord, Chu also intends to inform you about Nangong Hen and the evil god.]

[It’s just that Chu has the will, but not the strength. ]

Chu Wujiang also felt a little helpless. With his current talent and realm, he could fight against Di Guangzhu.

As a result, the enemies he encountered were all kinds of monsters.

Either it is a true god or an evil god.

I keep encountering big demons in the Novice Village. This is not the way to play.

Jingping Hou said quickly:
[Lord Longcheng, you can help. Only you can help with this matter! ]

[This Marquis has another piece of information for Lord Longcheng. Earl Zhongyong is indeed in collusion with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, and it is much deeper than imagined. ] [Don't you think that Earl Zhongyong's son Baili Feng died too quickly? ]

[Others have secretly gone to Taodu, and even the important figures of the Baili family have left Longcheng! ]

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

Even if Earl Zhongyong was using witchcraft, he should have made full preparations and could destroy the evidence at any time. However, before Chu Wujiang could even take any action, he suddenly blew himself up and killed all his sons.

Now it's all explained.

That's because the Wan Gui Sect played things too big.

Perhaps Lord Zhongyong just wanted to make an investment and use the Wangui Sect to eliminate Chu Wujiang so that he could profit from the chaos.

For example, if Chu Wujiang was killed by the Wangui Sect, then as long as Lord Zhongyong took the opportunity to make some money, there would not be any big problem.

But surprisingly, the Wangui Sect was not here to do business, they really wanted to do big things.

Uncle Zhongyong did not join them in the madness. He ran away on the spot and stopped the loss in time.

Marquis Jingping had been keeping an eye on Earl Zhongyong until he found the evidence.

Chu Wujiang immediately added:

[Marquis Jingping, could it be that the information about the evil god was leaked by Earl Zhongyong? ]

Marquis Jingping showed a surprised look:

[Yes, that fellow seems honest and rude, but he is actually the most cunning! ]

[He contacted the head of the Imperial Observatory in Taodu and reported the Wan Gui Sect. He also sacrificed his relatives for the greater good. The imperial court might even reward him.]

[This sinister and vicious old beast didn't even let his own son go. ]

[Now that this matter is settled, Lord Longcheng, we can work together to exclude the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion! ]

Chu Wujiang originally wanted to join forces with Marquis Zhenhai, and with the three alliances, to eliminate Marquis Zhongyong and divide the land together. Unexpectedly, Marquis Jingping took the initiative to propose it.

But at this moment, Chu Wujiang did not show any joy at all. Instead, he frowned and said:

[My Lord, there is no need to rush the matter of Earl Zhongyong.]

[Let's think about how to deal with the evil god. ]

[It would be better to let Governor Zhou or the Imperial Astronomical Bureau report to the higher authorities, or ask the King of Donghai to come back and ask for help from Yuanji Academy and Tiandao Sect, which is also possible...]

[We must find out the whereabouts of the evil god as soon as possible! ]

Marquis Jingping shook his head and said:

[Lord Longcheng, why are you so confused at this time? ]

[If the Si Tian Jian is willing to do this, do I need to inform you? ]

Chu Wujiang was shocked when he heard this, and he suddenly understood:

[Does the Imperial Observatory intend to solve the problem on its own? Isn't this ridiculous? ]

[This is too arrogant. ]

Marquis Jingping said calmly:

[The nobles of Longcheng, the royal palace of Taodu, the gravekeepers of Mangshan, and the Sitianjian also sent people here, but they can't deal with the leader of the Ten Thousand Ghosts. What else can this be but incompetence? ]

[The Imperial Astronomical Bureau is also under tremendous pressure and needs to make achievements as soon as possible to prove that they can patrol the country and suppress evil.]

Chu Wujiang asked back:

[Even if this is related to the evil god? ]

Marquis Jingping was also somewhat helpless:
[Lord Longcheng, this evil god incident has happened more than once, and most of the reports are false.]

[The Sitianjian has their reasons, but we cannot let them do whatever they want.]

[So I would like to ask Lord Longcheng to rely on the protection of the Taoist sect to escape this disaster together! ]

After talking for so long, Marquis Jingping finally put forward his request.

He hopes Chu Wujiang will use the Dragon and Tiger Order!
Within the permitted scope, the Dragon and Tiger Order can seek help from the Taoist sect.

In this way, the two families can avoid the imperial court and secretly transfer the top masters of Taoism to protect themselves.

This is Chu Wujiang’s greatest value to the Jingping Marquisate.
