"We will do our utmost to cooperate with Lord Sang." Everyone knows how to say these polite words.
Sang Hong clearly didn't take it to heart: "The reason I've called you all here today is to discuss the problems we might encounter during our trip to Yunzhong County..."
He then gave a brief account of the mission, as well as the many suspicious points and hidden dangers surrounding the disappearance of the Duke of Yunzhong, omitting, of course, the fact that the Duke of Yunzhong's younger brother had murdered his elder brother, which he had previously discovered.
Even so, it was enough to make the two of them change color. They thought this trip was just for sightseeing and to gain merit, but they never expected that there would be so many dangers hidden inside.
However, neither of them were incompetent. They did not back down, but instead felt that this was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves: "With Lord Sang in charge of the overall situation, Brother Zu assisting on the side, and with the Eleventh Master, the Golden Embroidered-Robe Envoy, this trip will surely be a success."
Having witnessed Zaun's abilities in the secret realm, coupled with the mysterious Embroidered-Robed Envoy, and being no ordinary person themselves, they naturally had nothing to fear.
Sang Hong frowned and said, "It's a pity that Lord Eleven didn't board the ship. It will be difficult to coordinate if anything happens."
This is what he is most dissatisfied with. The other party does not show up, so he has no way to discuss things with them. For someone like him who likes to plan things out carefully, this is the biggest variable.
Zuan could only smile wryly, thinking that not showing up at all wasn't a solution; he needed to figure out how to resolve this issue.
"Who exactly is this Gold Medal Eleven? Do you know anything about him?" Pei You asked curiously.
Gao Ying shook his head: "The Embroidered-Robe Envoy is mysterious enough, let alone the Gold Medal. I only heard that he solved many major cases in the capital a few days ago, and some important figures in the palace were also removed from their posts because of him."
Then he looked at Sang Hong: "Does Lord Sang know more?"
Sang Hong said in a deep voice, "The Embroidered-Robe Envoys report directly to the Emperor. Under the Grand Commander, there are only eleven Gold-Rank Embroidered-Robe Envoys, each a capable individual. It is rumored that each Gold-Rank Envoy is scattered throughout the country, each responsible for a region of several thousand miles, handling various intelligence tasks and secretly monitoring local officials. Because Zhu Xie Chixin is stationed in the capital, no Gold-Rank Envoys have been assigned here. This Gold-Rank Envoy Eleven appeared out of nowhere, and no force should have been able to find out his background."
Zu An thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't encountered a single Gold Medal Embroidered Robe Envoy in the capital for so long; it turned out they had all been sent to the provinces to govern their respective regions.
From this perspective, the emperor's bestowal of this gold medal upon him was purely a nominal title. In a place like the capital, there are a lot of powerful figures. With the emperor and Zhu Xie Chixin above him, he is not on the same level as his colleagues who are in charge of their own territories, whether in terms of power or resources.
"What about their cultivation levels?" Pei You was more concerned about this.
Sang Hong shook his head: "That's a secret. Embroidered-robed envoys are mysterious to begin with, and gold medals are even more mysterious. No one knows their true cultivation level. However, gold medal eleven can be roughly estimated."
Zuan was startled, wondering if he had revealed some flaw, otherwise how would he know these things?
"Lord Sang, please speak quickly." Pei Yougao Ying immediately became interested.
Sang Hong said, "A few months ago, assassins from the Demonic Sect entered the palace to carry out an assassination attempt. They were initially drawn to Kunning Palace by the palace guards, but their true target was the Eastern Palace. At that time, the Crown Prince's tutor was seriously injured, and the Eastern Palace guards suffered heavy casualties. It is said that at the critical moment, Jinpai Eleven appeared and saved the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. There were quite a few people present at the time, and according to their descriptions, Jinpai Eleven's cultivation level should be around the sixth or seventh rank."
"Ah, only sixth or seventh rank?" Pei You and Gao Ying couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Their cultivation was already at the peak of the sixth rank. It turned out that even those legendary big shots weren't much better than them.
“That’s the most terrifying thing,” Sang Hong said, his expression also showing some fear. “Back then, he only displayed a cultivation level of the sixth or seventh rank, yet he was able to block a full-force attack from the Demonic Sect Leader, who was a Grandmaster. How many people in the world could do that?”
"Terrifying!" Pei You and Gao Ying couldn't help but gasp. Coming from a large family, they naturally knew how terrifying a Grandmaster was.
"That's probably unlikely, isn't it?" Pei You frowned.
“It is indeed somewhat unbelievable. After all, I consider myself to have a good cultivation level, but I may not be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Grandmaster,” Sang Hong changed the subject. “But that is the fact, proving that the true cultivation level of Gold Medal Eleven is no lower than mine, or that his combat strength is special and cannot be simply measured by his cultivation level. But no matter what, he is one of the top experts in the world.”
