Chapter 50: Courtesy First, Then Attack

Late at night.

Zuo Zixiong's room was still lit with lights, and with a serious look on his face, he was communicating with the secret envoy who rushed over from the imperial capital.

"Eunuch Wei, do you really want to do this?" Zuo Zixiong frowned and said.

"Bold, Mr. Zuo, are you questioning the Holy Emperor's will?" The pale-faced man whom Zuo Zixiong calls Eunuch Wei said in a drake's voice.

"That's not what I meant!" Zuo Zixiong was not intimidated by Eunuch Wei's power, he said calmly.

"Hmph!" Eunuch Wei snorted coldly at first and said, "Master Zuo, our family is not asking for your opinion! This is the will of the Holy Emperor!"

"Thunder, rain, and dew are all the emperor's favor. Since the pawnshop owner doesn't understand good and evil, and doesn't understand the emperor's grace, then he can't blame others!" Eunuch Wei said.

Zuo Zixiong remained silent.

When Eunuch Wei saw this, he became even more dissatisfied. He added, "Master Zuo, the Imperial Master also agrees with this matter."

Cihang Pudu... Zuo Zixiong didn't even know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Zixiong opened his mouth with some difficulty, "Eunuch Wei, this pawnshop No. 9 is not simple. I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term!"

"Also, this pawnshop owner is not ignorant."

"Although Zuo has just arrived here not long ago, he has already obtained more than 6,000 yuan in coins... If he can get the full help of the court, he will be able to get 100,000 yuan in coins soon. At that time, he can exchange it with the pawnshop owner for [Three Yuan Gold] Dan], why bother to start a war?"

This is Zuo Zixiong’s innermost thoughts.

Although he has not been here long, he has a deep understanding of the unfathomable nature of Pawn Shop No. 9.

Yan Chixia was such a powerful swordsman, but she was always so afraid of the shopkeeper of Pawnshop No. 9.

The water here is deep!

Zuo Zixiong was not on the side of Pawnshop No. 9. He just felt that it was not a wise decision for the court to directly conflict with Pawnshop No. 9.

He believed that even if the court wanted to deal with Pawnshop No. 9, it must first find out the details so that it could be well-informed.

"Zuo Qianhu, you must know that what you receive is a salary from the imperial court..." Eunuch Wei glared and scolded Zuo Zixiong, "Don't forget your identity, you are an official of the imperial court!"

"Eunuch Wei, I have never forgotten my identity in my humble position, but..." Zuo Zixiong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Eunuch Wei.

"Zuo Qianhu, since you know your identity, it's good! This time, the Holy One attaches great importance to it, and even the Imperial Master came..."

"National Master..." Zuo Zixiong looked startled when he heard this. He opened his mouth to say something, but Eunuch Wei looked impatient, "Okay, Zuo Qianhu, your mission now is to find out as much as possible. Information about pawnshop No. 9, and where is the life-extending golden elixir?"

"The pawnshop owner never hid it. The pill that can extend life is placed on the shelf of the pawnshop. Anyone can see it when people come and go!" Zuo Zixiong glanced at Eunuch Wei, remained silent for a moment, and said .

"That would be great!" Eunuch Wei clapped his hands and said excitedly, "As long as the time comes..."

At this time, Zuo Zixiong's mind was no longer on this aspect.

His eyes fell on the window paper next to Eunuch Wei.

The dim candlelight reflected his figure on it, stretching it very long.

Zuo Zixiong remained silent. He did not agree with the order above, but he had no choice.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Wu Siyuan went into seclusion and could not derive the exercises.

But Pawn Shop No. 9 is still open for business.

He Youman replaced Wu Siyuan as shopkeeper.

She also practices the "Qi-Wang Technique" and can roughly see the value of items.

The monks and warriors who came and went quickly got used to the fact that Pawn Shop No. 9 had a new shopkeeper.

Only Zuo Zi ambition, who had ulterior motives, was worried.

He tried several times, but he didn't know that He Youman was an emotionally indifferent clone. Except for Wu Siyuan's orders, everyone else was like a stone to her.

After several attempts, they all failed in He Youman's silence, and also attracted He Youman's strange eyes.

Zuo Zixiong was afraid that He Youman would become suspicious, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The time comes at night.

That night, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei, led by the emperor's companion, finally arrived and surrounded the entire Changling Town, with a murderous look on their faces.

But the most majestic person in this team is not the old eunuch who the emperor grew up with, but the national master Cihang Pudu, who is surrounded by a group of strange monks and nuns and sits on a dharma frame.

Eunuch Wei brought Zuo Zixiong over.

"National Division!"

"Overseer!"

Zuo Qianhu saluted the two of them.

The national master Cihang Pudu still closed his eyes and chanted sutras without paying attention, while the Dongchang supervisor, who was the emperor's companion, nodded slightly.

He didn't say much and said directly to Zuo Zixiong, "Zuo Qianhu, lead the way."

"...Yes." Zuo Zixiong was silent for a moment, then agreed, walked in front, and began to lead the way.

The whole Changling Town was quiet.

But in the silence, Zuo Zixiong seemed to have a pair of eyes peering at them secretly.

Zuo Zixiong knew that because of the No. 9 pawnshop, many monks gathered in Changling Town.

Their travels could be hidden from ordinary people, but not from these monks.

What's more, the even more mysterious No. 9 Pawn Shop is probably already prepared.

Zuo Zixiong was even more worried.

He came to the east factory supervisor eunuch and expressed his concerns.

The emperor's companion looked back at the Imperial Master Cihang Pudu.

Cihang Pudu finally responded. It stopped chanting, glanced around the town, raised the corners of its mouth, and said, "The world always likes to spy, but it doesn't know that ignorance is happiness."

"The Imperial Master's words are really accurate, and he is like a wake-up call to us, hehehehe..." the emperor's first companion said with a smile.

Cihang Pudu didn't respond. It just put its palms together and chanted, "Namo Amitabha..."

An invisible sound wave, centered on Cihang Pudu, swept through the entire town.

"snort!"

"ah!"

"ah!"

"..."

The silent atmosphere in Changling Town was suddenly broken.

Most of the monks who were observing secretly did not dare to continue snooping after suffering such a frustrating experience.

Zuo Zixiong's feeling of being on pins and needles has mostly disappeared.

"National Master..." Zuo Zixiong looked at Cihang Pudu, "In this way, the No. 9 pawnshop will know that we are coming."

"Just to let them know!" When Cihang Pudu said this, his face was as calm as an eminent monk.

As the emperor's companion, the supervisor of the Dongchang also laughed and said, "This is courtesy first and then fighting!"

Zuo Zixiong was silent.

He looked up and saw that there was an evil and awe-inspiring look on the Imperial Master's face, which was as calm as water.
