The spy who had killed countless people walked around Jiujiang County openly and was even summoned by the prefect as a guest of honor.
This is simply a huge joke. Even if I had a rich imagination, I could not imagine that there would be such a scene in the world, but I actually saw it.
And it wasn't just him. In the days that followed, I saw many spies walking around in Jiujiang County, who were the same spies I had seen in the base.
I didn't leave, but decided to stay here and investigate the relevant situation. I also visited Xue Cheng, a captain of the Jinyiwei here.
Xue Chenglian has made many great achievements and is now doing well in Jiujiang County. Although he was seriously injured in the previous demon-slaying operation, he has almost recovered.
I heard that he had made great contributions in the last operation and would be promoted soon. He would be transferred to Longxing Prefecture as a centurion and might even be promoted to deputy thousand-householder in the near future.
I changed my appearance and went to visit him, pretending to be the hidden Iron-faced Master.
Then I learned the truth which shocked me terribly.
When I met Xue Cheng, he was depressed and seemed to have been greatly stimulated.
Without waiting for me to ask, he asked me back.
"Did you expect this to happen?"
"You've anticipated this kind of scene, haven't you? You're standing higher than me and can see farther than me."
I was a little confused, but I also knew that this might be the key to Xue Cheng's character change.
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you starting to play innocent too? Don't you know anything about this major incident involving the entire southeast coast?"
"The skills and methods these foreigners from overseas have used to raise demons have caught the attention of the higher-ups. They've become guests of honor in various aristocratic families, and they're using them to raise demons. Ha, I've become an accomplice to their evil deeds. What a joke."
My heart was shaken, and I couldn't understand it at all.
The other party has evil intentions towards the southeast coast and Daxia, and even wants to destroy Daxia. Under such circumstances, how can these aristocratic families on the southeast coast be willing to join forces with them?
Knowing their plans, you still let them help you raise demons. Isn't this just nurturing a tiger to harm yourself?
Have all the aristocratic families along the southeast coast gone crazy?
The facts tell me that they are not crazy, but rather quite wise.
Many spies from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun do understand the language of demons and can use special runes to control demons in some cases.
In my opinion and in Xue Cheng's opinion, this is an extremely terrifying thing. They raise demons and collect intelligence about Daxia, waiting for the day when Daxia is weak to viciously bite off a piece of fat meat from Daxia.
However, in the eyes of the Southeastern families and even people at a wider level, this is nothing more than a whimsical joke.
Daxia has been established for more than 800 years and has faced countless invasions from foreign monsters. Those monsters were many times more powerful than the foreigners from the southeastern coastal areas.
At the most dangerous time, the entire northern part of Daxia fell.
In comparison, these overseas foreigners are too insignificant, and most of them even admire the culture of Daxia.
More importantly, they have the technology to raise demons.
Moreover, it can improve the intelligence of demons in a very short period of time, transform non-demonized demon beasts into demon beasts in a very short period of time, and allow demonized demon beasts to reach the true essence level further.
This is a very special technology, and the monster is full of treasures.
Whether it is essence, blood, scales, fur, fangs or inner elixir, they are all very precious to human practitioners.
In the past, demons were difficult to control and were bloodthirsty and murderous. Even though many people wanted to raise demons, only the powerful ones from Buddhism and Taoism could actually raise demons successfully.
Moreover, even the people of Buddhism and Taoism can usually only raise one or two as pets and mounts.
There has never been a real large-scale breeding of demons.
And today it has.
As for the people of the Rising Sun Country who want to overthrow Daxia,
The desire to annex the southeastern coast is nothing more than the fantasy of one or two fanatics. Every year, countless people in Daxia, even Daxia's enemies, are thinking about the collapse of Daxia.
But Daxia still survived, and no one could hurt Daxia. The most decisive northern tribes once caused Daxia to lose half of its territory.
Does anyone care? No one cares.
Xue Cheng cares a little, but Xue Cheng doesn't care.
After learning that these people from the Land of the Rising Sun had the technology to raise demons, the Xue family also got a big share of the pie.
This is the real reason for Xue Cheng's decadence.
"What a joke! I am indeed a big joke."
I completely understood what Xue Cheng said, and I also understood why Xue Cheng was so decadent.
Daxia has been established for more than 800 years. It is proud and tolerant. It can tolerate anyone and allow anyone to survive in Daxia as long as he can benefit Daxia.
The entire southeastern coastal area has become friendly towards the people of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. The situation is not just good, but very good.
The spies originally hiding in various counties no longer need to be as secretive and cautious as before, and they can even stand out openly and honorably, because their identity as the Kingdom of the Rising Sun will not bring them any obstacles, but will instead bring them considerable convenience.
Perhaps the only ones who have objections are the vast majority of ordinary people in the southeast coast, but no one cares about their dissatisfaction, and their resentment can only be heard in their ears and cannot be heard from above.
No one cares about them.
In such a corrupt situation, Rui Hai was promoted to the Governor of Yangzhou.
It was clear that Rui Hai had just righteously scolded the inspector and sent him away.
But suddenly no one cared about his offensive behavior, even the Inspector didn't seem to care much, and the higher-ups still promoted Rui Hai.
For some unknown reason, floods have been frequent in the Yangtze River Basin in recent days.
Even in Jianyi and Xingguo counties, which Ruihai had already cured, floods continued to break out.
It was obvious that their riverbank was already quite solid, and no one was cutting corners.
I had a little guess in my mind, but I didn't dare to confirm it, because I had imagined the darkness of human nature, but even if I had tried my best to describe it in my mind, it could not compare to the real darkness and horror in reality.
I did some research, and I didn't want to believe it, but the truth was revealed bit by bit.
Even if I no longer believe it, it is still the truth.
Compared with floods in previous years, the frequent floods this year have resulted in a much higher number of missing persons than in previous years.
What is even more contrary to common sense and imagination is that wealthy families and families from all over the country are willing to take the initiative to provide disaster relief and distribute grain during floods.
There was harmony everywhere, and the number of people who died due to floods was actually lower than in previous years.
I didn't understand it at the time, but I was deeply shocked.
