Chapter 412 Immortal Ancient Survivors (23)
"The important magic weapon was lost, which caused the black market to be directly wiped out. However, Luofu still has not recovered it. It has most likely been obtained by people from other groups."
"Coincidentally, during this period, your friend An Xuan came to Xuanye City. After some operations, you bought a house in Chonggang Town."
"Similarly, not long after, the immortal ancient ruins of Chonggang Town appeared - to be honest, this is basically impossible to be a coincidence."
Huo Qing understood what Tie Shou meant, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle, you mean... An Jing is a spy sent by other large groups, disguised as a wilderness man?"
To be honest, Huo Qing thinks this is very ridiculous, because he has really been working together for a long time with An Jing, who has just arrived in the Tianyuan world. He knows very well that An Jing knows nothing about Xuanye City. The situation is absolutely not false.
"Ha, your imagination is too weak."
And Tie Shou showed a strange smile: "Huo Qing, think carefully and make a bold guess. You said..."
"——Is it possible that a remnant of the people survived in the Immortal Ancient Ruins?"
Huo Qing was stunned.
——There may be survivors in the ancient ancient ruins?
Yes, yes... An Jing obviously has extraordinary knowledge of cultivation, but he knows nothing about Xuanye City. He has no understanding of all kinds of common sense, but he can quickly adapt to life in Xuanye City. , and has no extra curiosity about high-tech creations such as water mirrors, but a natural attitude... Yes, this attitude is not like a real wilderness person at all!
Furthermore, Anjing's cultivation system is indeed completely different from Xuanye City and even the mainstream of today's Tianyuan world - what do you think about the Emperor Tianhou's native method that he learned, and even the idea of using formations to train the body? They are all very different from today's methods of refining qi and cultivating truth.
Huo Qing had doubts before, but he was not good at doubting his friends. Even if An Jing showed something strange, he would not think about it carefully.
But after Tie Shou pointed this out, he had to look back and found that An Jing's identity was getting weirder.
Not only that... the girl You and the aunt I met last time were also very well-educated, but they didn't know anything about Xuanye City... They were just young people, how could it be possible for an old person?
"Could it be that..."
Noticing that Huo Qing was lost in thought, Tie Shou laughed: "How's it going? Did you notice it?"
"...What does Gui Yijun plan to do to An Jing?"
Huo Qing sat back on the sofa. He stared at the floor, his face hidden in the shadows: "Did they give any tasks?"
"No." Tie Shou said calmly, "This is my personal discovery."
"I think An Xuan didn't hide it very seriously from the beginning to the end - if nothing else, he has to disappear once every three days, no matter how much he thinks about it, maybe it's some kind of special restriction."
"In short, he doesn't have this awareness. You can tell An Xuan this next time he comes over and ask him to hide it seriously again so that he doesn't get discovered."
Huo Qing raised his head and looked at Tie Shou with some surprise: "What, why is this?"
Tie Shou raised his hand, slapped Huo Qing on the back of the head, and scolded: "You boy, did the thought of 'How do you make me shut up and not tell Gui Yijun An Jing's true identity' flash through your mind just now? Damn it, right?" , the wings are hard!”
"But it's good. It's only normal to have this idea in your head if you have feelings for your brothers. We are all human beings. I also believe that you will not act on it, but remember to hide it better next time."
"I... just wanted to make uncle Qing change his mind..." Huo Qing blushed. He didn't know how to explain the sudden impulse in his heart just now, an impulse that rarely appeared in his life, but Tie Shou was very interested in this. He really didn't care - for so many years as a spy, he himself had thought countless times about selling all his brothers and defecting to the rebels, but as long as he didn't act, it was not illegal to 'think'.
He just used his prosthetic limb to pick up the tea, took a sip and said, "To be honest, there are many hills inside the Guiyi Army."
"Our team's mission progress is very poor, and so far it has not achieved much results, so there has been little resource investment in recent years."
"This is also a good thing. There are no resources, so we have not been discovered. Even in the great purge some time ago, we did not reveal any flaws - coincidentally, we seem to have some relationship with An Xuan, who is related to the ancient ruins."
"Even if we take a step back, An Xuan is a mysterious visitor from the wilderness forces, and has nothing to do with the ancient ruins... Your warehouse is in Chonggang Town." "I will operate to prevent your warehouse from being taken away. , you just need to continue operating the warehouse and possible business - you can talk to An Xuan, and if he is willing to cooperate, the details can be discussed in detail. "
"If he doesn't want to, then let's talk. Anyway, as your parents' only child, even if you don't want to, you still have files in the Guiyi Army, and your warehouse is also a very important achievement for us. In my report, you are a meritorious official. You have been lurking for many years. You used your parents' Yu Ze to seize the opportunity in Chonggang Town and obtain a forward base. "
"As long as it's not exposed, it doesn't matter even if it's temporarily unusable. Your concealment is the most important thing."
Huo Qing understood that Tie Shou had no choice but to confess to him - how could Tie Shou take the initiative to involve Huo Qing in various actions of the Guiyi Army? But because of the warehouse property he and An Jing had in Chonggang Town, it was impossible for Gui Yijun not to notice him.
Rather than being targeted by other mountaintops of the Guiyi Army, Tie Shou thought it would be better to let Huo Qing become the spokesperson in Chonggang Town and support him in the name of the faction behind him.
In this way, Huo Qing has the opportunity to choose how to act.
"..."
"I see."
After thinking for a long time, Huo Qing raised his head and said seriously to Tieshou: "I will tell him these conjectures - to be honest, our ideas are only part of it. If An Xuan does not cooperate, all plans will be out of the question."
"If we really want to cooperate, we can't hide from each other and must be open and honest."
"It's all up to you." After Tie Shou said all this, his posture became much more relaxed: "I don't care, I'm just afraid that you will be involved in various conspiracies unconsciously... To be honest, as long as you continue to follow that The boy is destined to be involved in God knows how many strange events."
"Indeed."
After Huo Qing learned so much important news, he unexpectedly lay on the sofa, his expression became much more relaxed: "Thank you, uncle. Let me know this so that I can prepare in advance."
"This way, I'm not afraid anymore."
"You are not afraid of trouble." Tie Shou stood up and said, "Damn it, if I had known you were so resilient, maybe I should have told you these tips."
"No, I used to be crushed. But not anymore."
Huo Qing also stood up and looked at his elder with a smile: "I used to be a timid turtle. I only wanted to shrink back and satisfy others... When encountering such a big thing, I would only be afraid and step back step by step. into the abyss.”
"But now, I have been able to face these crises head-on. Uncle, I'm just afraid that I don't know anything and will step into the darkness without knowing anything."
"But if you tell me there is danger ahead, then I don't mind challenging it."
“At the end of the day, it’s still the same sentence.”
His eyes were bright and his expression was natural. There was no trace of fear in Huo Qing's tone: "I have died once. I have accepted death long ago in the wasteland of Fuchen Plain. I am not afraid of it."
"What I hate is being unclear, not knowing anything, being in a state of confusion and at a loss... slowly entering the darkness."
"In this case, no matter what the ending of this second life is - even if the ending is death."
"I also have to decide for myself."
The exchange between Huo Qing and Tie Shou came to an end.
On the other side, Anjing returned to the Huaixu Realm with a fertilizer for the Taixu Magical Artifact, raw materials for the Nalong Bottle, and an advanced little Cangwei.
