"Your Majesty, Miss Haitang requests an audience."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Wushi said, "Summon."
Before long, as the door to the room where Zhu Wushi was located was pushed open, Shangguan Haitang quickly stepped into the room and bowed, saying, "Haitang greets godfather."
Facing Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi glanced outside the door.
Noticing Zhu Wushi's actions, Shangguan Haitang whispered, "Haitang came over after Cao Zhengchun left on business."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi nodded slightly and asked, "What is it?"
In response to Zhu Wushi's question, Shangguan Haitang shook her head and said, "Father, according to the reports from the people below, there were signs of a battle at Shenjian Manor yesterday at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), indicating an invasion by foreign enemies."
"Moreover, according to our informants around Shenjian Manor, three days ago, 137 unfamiliar faces appeared doing business around Cuiyun Peak and Green Lake, where Shenjian Manor is located. They appeared suddenly overnight and are very likely members of the Azure Dragon Society."
Zhu Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Did Xie Xiaofeng make a move?"
Shangguan Haitang shook her head and said, "The person who delivered food to Xie Xiaofeng found traces of a battle near the thatched hut where Xie Xiaofeng lived, but the news did not reach Shenjian Manor. Even ordinary disciples of Shenjian Manor were unaware of it."
Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, Zhu Wushi said, "Since they were able to conceal the information, it means that the person who broke into Shenjian Manor last night was not much weaker than Xie Xiaofeng."
As he spoke, Zhu Wushi's thoughts raced, and he immediately fixed his gaze on the Azure Dragon Society's leader, whom he had never seen before.
"As expected, the Azure Dragon Society has also noticed the Divine Sword Manor. It seems we need to get started on the next steps as soon as possible."
After a rapid thought process, Zhu Wushi looked at Shangguan Haitang and said, "Continue to have people keep an eye on Shenjian Manor. Report any news immediately."
Shangguan Haitang nodded and said, "Haitang understands, Godfather, don't worry."
Immediately afterward, Zhu Wushi seemed to remember something and asked, "Has Chu Qinghe returned yet?"
Upon hearing Zhu Wushi mention someone, Shangguan Haitang shook her head and said, "There is still no news from Yushui City. It seems that Chu Qinghe has not yet returned to Yushui City."
Finally, after a pause, Shangguan Haitang continued, "Moreover, although the Song Dynasty has made some arrangements, they are scattered and far apart. Even though Haitang has secretly sent messages, there has been no new news since the last time news came that Chu Qinghe and his group went to Yanzhou City."
"Is Yanzhou City next to the Northern Shaolin Temple of the Great Song Dynasty?"
Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's description of Chu Qinghe's location, Zhu Wushi frowned.
"Did that guy know something and deliberately go out to hide, or was it just a pure coincidence?"
However, Zhu Wushi had always found it difficult to see through Chu Qinghe, so his current suspicions were naturally uncertain.
Therefore, after pondering for a few moments, Zhu Wushi said to Shangguan Haitang, "In the next few days, you will secretly lead people to the Nujiao Gang to secretly control the Qinglong Society spies that you have found. Also, secretly inform Wan Sanqian to lend me the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi."
Shangguan Haitang cupped her hands and said, "Haitang understands."
After saying that, Shangguan Haitang quickly left at Zhu Wushi's signal.
Once Zhu Wushi was alone in the room, a chilling killing intent gradually accumulated in his eyes as his thoughts raced through them.
Less than three miles east of the capital city, in the mountains and forests, a mountain wall that was originally covered with moss suddenly slid to the side, revealing the entrance to a cave inside.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Jun, who had met Zhu Wushi earlier, walked out from the spot where the cave entrance in the mountain wall had been.
After glancing around, Tang Jun quickly left using his lightness skill.
However, ten breaths later...
Less than ten feet away from the mountain wall, several figures slowly and lightly descended from the lush trees.
The leader wore a metal mask, and his long, snow-white hair was casually draped over his shoulders.
Who else could it be but Gongzi Yu?
After glancing in the direction Tang Jun had just been, Bai Xiaosheng, who was standing next to Gongzi Yu, finally spoke up: "It's rare to see you come here personally to monitor someone."
Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng's question, Gongzi Yu's soft voice slowly rang out from beneath his metal mask.
"After all, Zhu Wushi isn't stupid; I'd feel more at ease if he watched over things personally."
As he spoke, Gongzi Yu looked at Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "According to the information from your Bai Xiaoge Pavilion, what is Brother Chu's recent situation?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Young friend Chu's trip to the Great Song Dynasty this time was quite blatant. According to the latest news that came back, he is still in Yanzhou City and has not left. Now, judging from the time, the Great Yuan Dynasty should have made a move against the Northern Shaolin Temple yesterday. I'm afraid that young friend Chu was watching the show in secret."
Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "As people get older, they often enjoy watching a show, just like how we are watching Zhu Wushi perform this grave-digging and self-immolation drama."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "That's true. After all, it's the last step, so it's understandable to be more attentive."
At this moment, Gongzi Yu seemed to have thought of something and said, "You said that the future of the Great Ming Kingdom will be handed over to the beauties by Brother Chu's side, but Brother Chu has three beauties, while the Great Ming Kingdom only has one emperor's throne."
"Is it possible that Brother Chu, during this trip to the Great Song Dynasty, might also take advantage of the Great Yuan Dynasty's actions against the martial arts world of the Great Song Dynasty to seize control of the Great Song Dynasty as well?"
Faced with what Gongzi Yu said, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and chuckled, "Meng Chixing has already reached the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, and the three flowers of Heaven, Earth and Man have been condensed. He is only slightly inferior to Ling Donglai. Even if that young friend Chu is very talented, I'm afraid he will have a hard time taking a share of the pie from a strongman like Meng Chixing."
