Chapter 519 True and False, Everyone Has
Their Own Agenda Ever since he first heard Zhuang Zhiming's name at the elders' meeting, Wei Changtian felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.
After learning today that the former was the head of Changwu Hall, Wei Changtian even thought for a moment that he might have accidentally seen him on a list of "leaders of major forces in Daning" before.
After all, Chu Xianping had indeed given him such a list, and it was possible that Zhuang Zhiming's name was on it.
But just now, Wei Changtian suddenly remembered it.
He had not seen "Zhuang Zhiming" in that list, but in the damn "Martial Arts Peak"! [.This person's name is Zhuang Zhiming, he is fat and wide, sometimes he is sinister and vicious, and sometimes he is like a servile and wretched villain. ]
[However, this person who seems to have two faces is actually one of Kuilong's elders]
【.】
Oh shit!
Zhuang Zhiming is actually Kuilong's elder! In the original novel, he only appeared in one chapter and was a minor supporting character.
So even though Wei Changtian looked familiar, he had never remembered him before.
And now... You should know that the "Kuailong Elder Council" was never mentioned in the original work, otherwise Wei Changtian would not have obtained information from the remnant soul.
But previous signs have shown that the structure of this world is completely consistent with all the details in the original work.
So since the original book says that Zhuang Zhiming is Elder Kuilong, even if this may just be something the author wrote casually, it also means that Zhuang Zhiming must be Elder Kuilong.
And this means that among the four people in the Kuilong Elders Council besides himself, one of them is Zhuang Zhiming???
Blue, red, white, and yellow.
Which one is he? Wei Changtian kept recalling what everyone said at the meeting that night, and his first reaction was that of Elder Qingtai, because all the information at that time was provided by Elder Qingtai.
But that’s not necessarily the case.
The rules of the Kuilong Elders' Council are a bit like the five permanent members of the Security Council in the previous life, and the "rotating chairman" is replaced every ten years.
During these ten years, if any major event occurred in any of the Kuilong branches that needed to be decided by the Elders Council, any leader could send a message to the "rotating elder", who would then convene a meeting of elders and ultimately pass the resolution of the Elders Council to each branch for execution.
It is obvious that the current "rotating chairman" is the Elder Qingtai.
Therefore, it is also possible that Zhuang Zhiming passed Qin Zhengqiu's information to the Qingtai Elders in the capacity of "helmsman", and then because of the rule that "elders must not reveal their identities", he had to pretend that he knew nothing about it during the Elders' Meeting.
Regardless of the situation, there are two things that can be confirmed.
First, Zhuang Zhiming does serve as both the leader of the Bingsan Division and the elder of the Council of Elders of Kuilong.
Second, Zhuang Zhiming’s ability to disguise is indeed good.
It doesn’t matter whether he is the Elder of Qingtai, Chitai, Baitai or Huangtai.
At least Wei Changtian didn't notice anything unusual during the meeting, and everyone reacted as they should after hearing the news for the first time.
Moreover, none of the suggestions put forward were selfish, as if they were all for the sake of Kuilong as a whole. Thinking of this, Wei Changtian couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of Zhuang Zhiming, and realized that this person was by no means so easy to deal with, and his scheming was probably even more terrifying than You Wenzong.
Hmm? So, did my words and actions today reveal any flaws?
Especially the moment when he heard Zhuang Zhiming call out his name, did he catch his abnormal reaction at that time?
Probably not. After all, if I remember correctly, Zhuang Zhiming lowered his head at that time. Wei Changtian became less and less confident the more he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do until now. He could only go back and perfect the response plan with Chu Xianping as much as possible.
Besides, even if Zhuang Zhiming noticed something unusual, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
It's impossible that he suspected that he had infiltrated the Presbyterian Church for no reason.
As long as this matter is not exposed, everything else will be easy. "Zhang San, go to the Freemason Hall."
The sudden appearance of Zhuang Zhiming caused a series of problems, so Wei Changtian lost interest in going home to play mahjong and prepared to go to the Freemasonry to find Chu Xianping to discuss countermeasures.
"Qin'er, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. You can go back first."
"good."
Liang Qin first responded quietly, then asked with some concern: "Brother Changtian, what's wrong? Is nothing wrong?"
"No, it's just a small matter."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"Um"
Liang Qin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
They both turned their heads to look out the window at the same time. The afternoon sun was shining brightly and the street was bustling with people coming and going.
However, just out of their sight, there was someone who was silently watching the speeding carriage. Every time his body moved, he could dodge dozens of feet away, and he was never noticed.
There were actually always secret sentries around Wei Changtian, but now even the secret sentries did not notice the existence of the stalkers.
This is not because they are careless.
It was because the realm of the person who was following them was much higher than theirs.
The second level realm, the most powerful fighter in the world.
Such a master was actually used to follow Wei Changtian. This behavior is too "extravagant".
The only one who could do such a thing was naturally Kuilong.
Although Wei Changtian did not know this second-grade master, Li Wutong was very familiar with him.
Because this person was one of the seven second-rank masters who sent her back to Shuzhou.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Captain, Wei Changtian did not return to the mansion. Instead, he turned around and headed for the entrance of the Freemasonry Hall halfway through his journey."
In a quiet room in Changwu Hall, the person who had been following him was standing in front of Zhuang Zhiming, reporting in a deep voice, "You said before that we shouldn't alert the enemy, so I didn't take the risk to follow him in."
"Yes, I understand."
With a slight nod, Zhuang Zhiming seemed like a different person. Although he was still as fat, his overall appearance had changed drastically.
He responded and stopped talking, and the person who was following him wisely left the room quickly.
"Squeak~"
The ordinary wooden door slowly closed, and a thoughtful expression slowly appeared on Zhuang Zhiming's face.
As the leader of Division C3, he naturally knew that the remnant soul had mobilized Kuilong's people twice.
Well, that's not rigorous enough.
It should be said that Zhuang Zhiming did not know the existence of the Xuantian Sword and the remnant soul, but he received instructions from the "Elder Council" twice in a row.
To be more specific, he actually received two consecutive instructions from the "rotating chairman" of the Elders' Council, Elder Qingtai.
One time, he ordered himself to send five second-rank masters to Shuzhou to obey the orders of a man named Xiao Feng.
One time, he ordered himself to send seven second-rank masters to Fengyuan to bring a princess named Li Wutong to Shuzhou.
It is obvious that Zhuang Zhiming cannot give orders to himself, so he cannot be the Elder of Qingtai.
Since he was also an elder, he naturally knew that these two orders were not actually passed by the Elders' Council, but were issued by Elder Qingtai in the name of the Elders' Council.
This is actually the only drawback of the Kuilong Elders Council system - the "rotating elders" may use their private power to arbitrarily mobilize Kuilong's power.
Of course, as the identity of the elders is kept extremely secret, such behavior is actually difficult to detect.
If Zhuang Zhiming was not an elder, he would have thought that this was just a decision of the Elders' Council and would have carried it out meticulously.
But as luck would have it, Zhuang Zhiming happened to be one of the elders, so he was very clear that Elder Qingtai was "abusing his personal power."
However, Zhuang Zhiming did not expose the latter, but continued to do as ordered.
There are two reasons for this.
First, once this matter was exposed, his own identity would be at risk of being exposed.
Second, he wanted to use this opportunity to find out the identity of Elder Qingtai, and then use it to threaten the latter to "ally" with him.
After all, there are only five seats in the Elder Council, so if two people form an alliance, they will most likely be able to influence all decisions of the Elder Council, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling Kuilong.
For this reason, Zhuang Zhiming first went to check on Xiao Feng.
But Xiao Feng died at the hands of Wei Changtian, and Wu Tianqing and the other four never returned.
In this case, Zhuang Zhiming certainly would not think that Wei Changtian had any relationship with Elder Qingtai.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the whole thing is a situation where "Elder Qingtai asked people to help Xiao Feng get revenge, but was killed by his enemy instead."
Therefore, Zhuang Zhiming simply checked Wei Changtian and gave up after finding nothing unusual. His focus has always been on tracing Xiao Feng's various interpersonal relationships.
Until more than a month ago, he received another order to "bring Li Wutong back to Shuzhou".
When both orders were related to Wei Changtian, Zhuang Zhiming finally realized that the problem was with Wei Changtian.
However, before he could mobilize personnel to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the latter, Qin Zhengqiu suddenly appeared again.
The appearance of a quasi-first-class master is a top priority, so Zhuang Zhiming naturally dare not neglect it.
In addition, he also wanted to test the reaction of Elder Qingtai, so he immediately passed the information over.
Elder Qingtai convened the elders' meeting according to the rules.
But Zhuang Zhiming didn't find anything unusual.
More importantly, when meeting Wei Changtian today, Zhuang Zhiming could see that Wei Changtian really didn't know him.
This means that Wei Changtian is not the Elder of Qingtai, otherwise he would not have reacted in that way when he heard his name.
So, Elder Qingtai is someone close to Wei Changtian? But that's not right.
Because last year Elder Qingtai ordered to help Xiao Feng kill Wei Changtian.
How come they were enemies last year but friends this year? Could it be that Elder Qingtai has been replaced? The quiet room was extremely quiet, and Zhuang Zhiming sat on the futon and pondered for a long time.
In his hand, he was playing with a Kuilong token that was almost identical to Wei Changtian's. The candlelight reflected on it, refracting a faint yet complex red light.
At the same time, in a space as dark and deep as the universe.
“Who is it?!”
“Who is it?!!!”
"I hid the token so well! Who on earth found it?!"
"Could it be that kid named Wei?"
"No, no! That boy is a black platform!"
"So, who is that person on the green stage?!"
"How did that person know where I hid the token? And why did he know the secret method of sending messages?!"
"Wow! I'm so pissed off!!"
"Once I regain my physical body, I will tear this sinister villain into pieces!!!"
"Alas, I still need that kid to recover my body."
"Well, let's talk to him about this."
"Otherwise, it would be terrible if he really died."
“.”
Half an hour later.
When Wei Changtian stood in the Masonic secret room, after listening to the remnant soul's words in amazement, he was stunned for almost five minutes.
What the hell?! The remnant soul actually has the token of the Council of Elders?
Or the one about Elder Qingtai??? He had previously relied on "forging" the resolutions of the Elders' Council to mobilize the people of Kuilong??? Then the token was lost??? The person who stole the token also convened the Elders' Council a few days ago???
No wonder you were so surprised when you heard about the meeting!!!
“.”
"No! Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"
Wei Changtian, who finally recovered from his shock, didn't even mention "senior" and directly cursed: "Also, you didn't put the token in the Xuantian Sword???"
"The Xuantian Sword cannot store things, how can I collect it?!"
The remnant soul's answer was equally firm: "Of course I hid it somewhere else!"
"How did you deliver the message while hiding somewhere else?"
Wei Changtian was confused: "Can it be controlled remotely?"
"Um?"
It was obvious that Canhun had never heard of the term "remote operation", but that did not prevent him from quickly understanding its meaning.
"Humph, you can't do that, but I have great magical powers and I can do that."
“.”
No, you sound pretty proud of yourself? ? ? "Nah."
Wei Changtian cursed again.
Although Canhun knew he was in the wrong, he still argued unhappily:
"Boy, you don't have to panic!"
"As long as Zhuang Zhiming doesn't tell anyone, who else would know that I passed on the message in the name of the Council of Elders?"
"Now it's just that the token is lost. I can no longer mobilize Kuilong's people. It's not a big deal for you!"
"Anyway, you have a token now, so wait another twenty years and it will be your turn."
"Just shut up!"
Finally, Wei Changtian couldn't bear it anymore and directly retorted the remnant soul's words.
Yes, from the perspective of the remnant soul, it is indeed not a big deal.
At most, the token was lost, and the person who stole the token "impersonated" him and became the new elder of Qingtai.
But "Do you know?"
The angry roar echoed in the secret room, deafening.
"Zhuang Zhiming is also Elder Kuilong!"
“.”
"ah???"
Zhuang Zhiming is also an elder, so he must know that the remnant soul is issuing orders in the name of the Elders' Council.
Both orders were related to him, so Zhuang Zhiming approached him definitely not just for Qin Zhengqiu, but for a bigger purpose.
When the remnant soul finally confessed the truth, Wei Changtian understood it almost instantly.
This is also why he is so impatient and angry now.
Originally, I was thinking of pretending to be friendly with Zhuang Zhiming and even taking advantage of him.
In the end, it seems that people have already found out everything about me.
What the hell! Under the double impact of the fact that Zhuang Zhiming is Elder Kuilong and the information provided by the remnant soul, Wei Changtian's mind is now full of how to deal with Zhuang Zhiming, and he has temporarily ignored another matter that is actually equally important.
Who was the person who stole the token from the remnant soul? Why did this person know where the remnant soul hid the token? And why did he know the secret method of transmitting messages that only the elders could understand? This question seems very complicated.
But as long as Wei Changtian thinks about it for a while, he should be able to easily come up with the answer .
"Da Da Da, Da Da Da"
Outside Longzhou City, two carriages drove out of the city gate one after the other and headed towards Lingkai Mountain where the Fulian Temple was located.
The sound of horses' hooves was hurried and the carriage was bumpy, but the official road in Longzhou was still so difficult to travel on.
Pulling open the car curtain and looking up at the sun above his head, Xu Suisui suddenly smiled for no reason.
"After so many days, they should know everything."
"Then it's time for everyone to meet again."
“.”
A quarter of an hour later.
Changwu Hall, Freemasonry.
Zhuang Zhiming and Wei Changtian, who were located in two different places in Shuzhou City, looked at the tokens in their hands at the same time.
[Three days later, at midnight, there is an important matter to discuss]
