"Hmm? It seems necessary to find out the identities of these two people and whether they are really connected with Di Feijing."
With that in mind, Shen Zhao casually found a nearby table to sit down and began to listen attentively to their conversation.
Unfortunately, the two Xiongnu were very cautious and did not provide any useful information.
Just as Shen Zhao was about to give up on going to Nuanxiang Pavilion, another strange man wearing a copper mask, with a hunched back and a limp, entered Tianxian Residence.
Upon seeing the strange man, the two Huns immediately stood up to greet him warmly.
The three then entered a private room on the second floor of Tianxianju.
Shen Zhao frowned and immediately followed quietly, booking another room next to their private booth to listen to their conversation.
"How's it going?"
"Please go and report to the Great Xiongnu King that the plan is going smoothly. The Empress of the Celestial Dynasty has been poisoned without her knowledge. At that time, the entire Central Region will be the domain of our Great Xiongnu."
“Very good. As long as the Empress of the Celestial Dynasty passes away, there will be no force in the Central Region that can rival my Great Xiongnu. Once my Great Xiongnu unifies the Central Continent, you will be the greatest contributor.”
"I have no interest in whether I am a meritorious official of the Great Xiongnu. I just want you to personally deliver to me what you promised me."
"Rest assured, once the matter is accomplished, the Heaven-Burning Divine Stone and the Earth Core Flame will be presented to you with open arms. Our Great Xiongnu has always been the most trustworthy."
"There are too many people and too many eyes around here. To avoid arousing suspicion from my guards, I shall take my leave now."
The next moment, the sound of a door opening came from the next private room.
Shen Zhao touched his nose and stood at the window, looking down at the departing figure of Gu Lou.
"I'm not the only one eyeing the Heaven-Burning Divine Stone; there's also this Earth Core Strange Fire. We need to speed things up."
Unfolding his folding fan, Shen Zhao began to plan the next steps of his scheme.
As I left Tianxianju, I happened to run into Hu Yushu.
"Fellow Daoist, our Lord invites you."
"Your host is back so soon? Wasn't it supposed to be two or three days?"
"The Burning Heaven Divine Stone is of great importance, and no one wants to turn down money. Please, fellow Daoist, move to the Wind and Rain Pavilion."
"That's perfect, just to my liking."
