After listening to the explanation given by the Sky Eye personnel, Tang Yin nodded his head and asked, "What has Master Jiang been doing in Shang Jing during this period?" "Drink, eat!" The young man answered truthfully, "Lord Jiang eats and drinks with the ministers of the imperial court almost every day." "Oh!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "If that's the case, then Master Jiang must have had a lot of work to do in Shang Jing." "Yes, yes, yes!" The youth did not dare to express his stance and only nodded his head repeatedly. However, he silently added in his heart: If every single day of drinking is called hard work, then Jiang Lou has indeed worked extremely hard.
Under the guidance of the Sky Eye staff, Tang Yin went up to the third floor and stopped in front of a door to the best room. The young man said in a low voice: "Master, Lord Jiang is in this room." Tang Yin replied, then gently pushed the door open. The door immediately slid open, and there was no lock inside. Tang Yin paused for a moment before pushing the door open and entering. As soon as he entered the room, the strong smell of alcohol assaulted his nose. Le Tian and Jiang Fan frowned, and followed behind Tang Yin.
No one saw Jiang Lou and they heard his heavy snoring first. Tang Yin slowly walked to the end of the room, bypassed the screen, and when he looked out, he saw that Jiang Lou had not even taken off his clothes and was lying down on the bed with his limbs spread out. He was sleeping soundly. "Jiang Lou?" After shouting twice, Jiang Lou did not react at all. Helpless, Tang Yin could only increase the volume and called out again: "Master Jiang Lou Jiang!" Jiang Lou acted as if he was sincere in opposing Tang Yin, no matter how he shouted, he did not react at all.
Seeing that, Le Tian anxiously walked forward and forcefully pushed Jiang Lou. Seeing that he was unconscious as if he was a dead pig, he extended his hand and pinched Jiang Lou's nose, and then gently closed his mouth. Not long after, Jiang Lou gasped for breath, with two gulps from his throat, he was unable to swallow a mouthful of saliva, which he choked in his throat and began to cough violently. He wanted to take a deep breath, but no matter what, he couldn't get a breath. He wanted to open his mouth, but his mouth was tightly locked by someone, this time, Jiang Lou was completely awake, he opened his eyes and subconsciously sat up from the bed. He asked in shock and fear, "Who dares to harm me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yin who was standing in front of the bed put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and said slowly: "Master Jiang, I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to visit you!" When he saw Tang Yin's appearance, he still could not believe his eyes. He rubbed them hard and looked at Tang Yin again, this time he was one hundred percent sure that he did not see wrongly, and his originally drunk body instantly quieted down due to fright. Like a ball, he rolled down from the bed and dropped to the floor, kneeling as he shouted anxiously: "No …" This official did not know that the lord had arrived, so I did not welcome him from afar. Furthermore … "I hope sire will not take offense!" Tang Yin smiled as he looked at Jiang Lou, and said gently: "Jiang Lou?" "This official is here!" "Stand up!" While talking, Tang Yin walked to the window, waved his hand and pushed open the window, allowing the air to circulate. He then took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, turned around, restrained his smile, and looked straight at Jiang Lou, and asked: "Jiang Lou, how is the progress of the things I asked you to do?" Jiang Lou kneeled on the ground, not daring to get up immediately. Lowering his head, his eyes turned as he said faintly: "Ever since this lowly official arrived at the capital, I have been building relationships with the ministers in the imperial court. My purpose for doing this is also to promote my lord to them …" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin impatiently waved his hand and interrupted him. What he wanted to hear was not these senseless processes, but the outcome. He looked up and said, "Get to the point!" "Oh …" Jiang Lou muttered to himself, before carefully saying: "Through my days of contact with the many ministers, I have spoken a lot of good words on behalf of the lord, but if you want to get the ministers of the imperial government to support you, then … There is still something missing. " Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "What's missing?" "Gold." Jiang Lou swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
Tang Yin's face darkened at first, but then he smiled and asked smilingly: "Jiang Lou, when you left the Yan City, you brought along a lot of gold and treasures, right?" "Yes, my lord!" Jiang Lou's face broke out in a cold sweat, and said shakily: "Twenty thousand gold, fifteen treasures." "Where is the item?" He had spent all of his gold, and he had given away all of his treasures, but … "The effect is minimal." "If I remember correctly, I gave you another ten thousand taels of gold." Tang Yin said faintly.
"Yes, but..." But all the gold was spent! Master, the prices in Shang Jing are too expensive, furthermore, we have to treat Minister of Imperial Court to a meal, we can only go to the best restaurant in the capital, and also treat some singing and dancing girls. Every time we spend the money, it's not a small amount, so … "Gold is being spent extremely quickly..." Tang Yin could not hold back his laughter, he was just laughing out of anger, he said slowly: "Spending so much gold, and yet you have not made any progress at all, Master Jiang, I can't help but suspect whether you have done anything for me, or are you using my gold to fill your pockets?" After hearing that, Jiang Lou was so frightened that his entire body shivered, his bones went soft, and he almost fell to the ground. He cried out, "Injustice, injustice!" Lord! "Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare deceive you, your excellency. I wouldn't dare to take your money for myself …" Tang Yin wanted to speak, but suddenly frowned, he turned and walked over to Le Tian. Reaching out his hand, he reached into Le Tian's waist, and took out the sword hidden inside his robes, changing the topic, his tone became soft and cold, and said: "Some people think that their actions are concealed, not revealing any traces, but there is a wall in this world, if people do not know, you cannot do it yourself!" As he spoke, Tang Yin's palm released a dense amount of Black Fog s, which enveloped the Steel Sword's sword body and immediately fused together. The sword's body that was shining with a cold light turned pitch black as well.
At this time, even a blind person could tell that Tang Yin had activated his Innate Qi, and the killing aura that was being emitted from his body caused the air in the room to congeal, causing one to feel suffocated.
Jiang Lou looked at the Spirit Sword in Tang Yin's hands, and when he heard his words, he was so frightened that his three souls and seven souls almost flew out of his body. His snot and tears flowed down his face, and he cried out in a trembling voice, "Master, this official did not say anything, I am not lying to you …" Before he even finished speaking, Tang Yin's face had already completely darkened, the killing intent around his body became even stronger, without any warning, he shook his arm, and the spirit sword in his hand flew out. Only, his spirit sword was not aimed at the Jiang Lou in front of him, but at the wall behind him.
A muffled sound could be heard as the spirit sword stabbed into the wall, directly piercing through it. At the same time, a short but light cry of alarm came from outside the wall.
This scream caused Le Tian and Jiang Fan's bodies to tremble. The two of them were stunned for a moment, then immediately realised that someone was eavesdropping outside the room, the two of them both jumped onto the window ledge at the same time, raising their heads to look outside.
The room was on the third floor, but it was completely empty outside. When the two of them went up to the window and peeked outside, they saw not half a shadow, but only the tip of the Steel Sword that pierced through the wall.
He reached out his finger, catching the drop of blood. After wiping it slightly, he placed it under his nose and took a careful sniff, confirming that it was human blood, then returned back to his room. He cupped his hands towards Tang Yin and said: "Master, the eavesdropper outside the room has fled after being injured!" "He ran away?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where did you run off to?" "I didn't see anyone outside or in the garden downstairs!" At this time, Jiang Fan also jumped down from the window and said to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's expression did not change, he secretly took a deep breath, his mouth raised slightly, and said faintly: "No matter how deep the opponent's cultivation level is, or how fast he runs, even if he is uninjured, it is impossible for him to disappear in such a short period of time, there is only one explanation." "The other party is Spirit Cultivator of Dark!" Le Tian and Jiang Fan's eyes were wide open, revealing a surprised look, as they spoke out at the same time. Other than the Shadow Shift of a Dark Element Spiritual Martial Art being able to instantly appear in their line of sight, the two could not think of anything else that could make them do this.
That's right, only Spirit Cultivator of Dark could run so fast. The Spirit Cultivator of Dark would not look for him for no reason. It seemed like this matter was related to that metal plate. When Tang Yin thought about it, Le Tian and Jiang Fan also thought about it. However, the two were not as calm and composed as Tang Yin, and both of them exclaimed at the same time, "Master, could it be …" Tang Yin raised his hand and interrupted the two people's words, and said indifferently: "I understand." Jiang Lou, who was still kneeling on the ground, was simply dumbfounded. He had thought that he was dead for sure, but he did not expect that Tang Yin's attack was not aimed at him, and what he had just said was not aimed at him either. Lord... Outside... This... "What in the world is going on?" Tang Yin turned around, looked at Jiang Lou, and said with a smile: "Jiang Lou, get up!" "Ah, yes, yes, my lord!" Jiang Lou held onto his sleeves and wiped the perspiration off his face. After a long while, he finally managed to stand up from the ground.
Tang Yin looked at the crowd and said sternly: "Looks like trouble has arrived. We cannot stay in Shang Jing any longer, the earlier we leave, the better." Le Tian and Jiang Fan, who clearly understood the stakes involved, quickly nodded their heads and replied, "Master, you are right!" Jiang Lou didn't understand what had happened, but he could feel that there were Spiritual Martial Expert targeting his side, and they might even plot against Tang Yin.
Just then, Tang Yin asked him: "Jiang Lou, how much gold do you think it would take to bribe an important minister?"
