"Mansion of Spirits?" Song QingShu, who was hiding in the dark, felt his heart skip a beat. Previously, he had let Old Sabre Honcho slip away, and he had thought that the clues in Mansion of Spirits had been cut off. He had never expected that he would once again find a clue here. It was really like a glimmer of hope at the darkest hour.
The three people in the cell were also confused. Hua Yue asked, "What is Mansion of Spirits?"
The black robed man replied, "Mansion of Spirits, as the name suggests, everyone inside is a spirit. No matter how big of a crime you committed outside, as long as you enter Mansion of Spirits, you will obtain a new identity, and all your previous debts and grudges will naturally be written off."
Zhang Xing sneered. "How arrogant. We have committed a capital offense. If the imperial court wants to kill us, can you protect us?"
The man in black said proudly, "Of course we can protect you. There is no one in this world that our Mansion of Spirits cannot protect. As long as you agree, I can guarantee your safety."
"Why? You are already dead. Even if you are cheated, there is no loss. If it is true, you can escape. I don't know why you are still hesitating." Seeing the three of them looking at each other, the man in black didn't know that Song Qingshu had been here before. The three people in front of him didn't want to have anything to do with Mansion of Spirits.
"We …" Zhang Xing was about to refuse, but Yang Ming, who had always been calm, quickly interrupted him. "What you said is too unbelievable. We need to think about it."
The man in black frowned. "What do you have to think about?"
Hua Yue also cooperated. "We know that there is no free lunch in this world. You made this Mansion of Spirits so mysterious and spent so much effort to save us. In the future, you will definitely need us to repay you."
The man in black nodded. His eyes showed approval. "Yes, we will need you to repay us in the future. But this is also in the future. Why not get through this crisis first?"
Hua Yue shook his head. "In this world, death is not the scariest thing. There are many things that make people wish they were dead. So, we need to think about it."
Seeing that his words were reasonable, the man in black didn't worry.
"Alright, you can think about it. However, I can only give you one day. I will come back tomorrow to ask you again. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait for the court's order of execution."
At this time, a sound came from the corridor in the distance. The black-clothed man quickly said, "I can't stay here for long. Think about it carefully. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he quickly left.
Song Qingshu flashed out of the shadows and said to the three people in the cell, "Wait a moment, I'll go check on this person's situation, then come back to save you."
The three people in the cell did not object. After all, although they were sentenced to death, they would not be killed in a day or two.
When Song Qingshu came out of the prison, he quickly found the traces of the black-clothed man and carefully followed him.
The black-clothed man's Qing Gong was absolutely first-class in Jianghu, and he was extremely cautious, almost to the point of looking back three times with every step. However, Song Qingshu's Qing Gong was so good that it was completely beyond his imagination, so he did not notice that he had an extra tail.
The black-clothed man deliberately made a few big circles, and finally, after making sure that no one was following him, he sped up and rushed in a certain direction. Song Qingshu had been following him until he saw him enter a magnificent mansion.
"King Yi's Mansion?" This was far beyond Song Qingshu's expectation. He had always thought that the mastermind behind the Spirit Mountain Manor was Jia Shidao, but now it seemed that King Yi had become the biggest suspect.
In order to confirm his guess, Song Qingshu also sneaked into the mansion, far behind the black-clothed man, and avoided many patrolling guards and hidden guards along the way.
Song Qingshu secretly frowned, thinking that this black-clothed man could not be here to assassinate King Yi, could he? After the troubles in Sichuan and WuTang Mountain, this was very much in line with the Spirit Mountain Manor's style.
Watching the black-clothed man enter a room that looked like a study, Song Qingshu did not have to deliberately get close to him. With his current skills, if he listened carefully, no movement within a radius of dozens of feet could be hidden from him.
"Why are you back so soon?" A young voice sounded, full of arrogance and indifference of a superior.
Song Qingshu was stunned, because he had already recognized the owner of the voice. When the imperial court officially conferred him the title of King Qi, King Yi came to congratulate him in person. In addition, the two of them had met several times in the imperial court, so it was natural that Song Qingshu recognized the voice.
"Is Old Sword Honcho really King Yi?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but be confused for a moment.
"Master, those people said that they need to think about it." The black-clothed man's voice sounded, and he roughly told him what had just happened in the prison.
"They want to live, but they don't want to pay the price. Hehe, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" King Yi sneered in the room. "When I saw them assassinate Jia Shidao, I quite admired their courage. Now it seems that they are just indecisive people."
"Please forgive me for speaking out of turn. Although these people have some skills, they assassinated Jia Shidao. If we sell them and the Jia Family finds out, I'm afraid …" The black-clothed man hesitated for a while and said.
King Yi snorted and said, "Can't we just not let them know? Although we are working closely together now, if there is a chance, I'm afraid we will be swallowed by Jia Shidao. "
"So, it is better to have a few chess pieces in advance just in case. After all, these people are the backbone officers of the three offices, and they have a lot of connections in the army. However, their identities prevent them from fully using the potential of these connections. In the future, with my support, we can use them to control the three offices of the imperial army to a certain extent. What's more, these people have a deep hatred for Jia Shidao, so we don't have to worry about them being recruited by Jia Shidao in the future."
The black-clothed man couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master, you are really far-sighted. I can only see the immediate benefits."
"Don't flatter me." Although King Yi said so, his tone was full of pride. "By the way, how is the contact with the faceless man?"
Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat. According to Li Qingluo, the faceless man and the general were the two most mysterious and supreme people in the Mansion of Spirits. He didn't expect that this time, he not only learned the true identity of Old Sabre Honcho, but also could hear the news of the most mysterious faceless man.
"According to the news from the channel, the faceless man has replied and said that he will appear at the scheduled place on time. We don't need to worry about anything else," the black-clothed man replied.
"You really don't want us to arrange it?" Prince Yi said to himself, "If he doesn't come or if he's late, all the plans will fall short of success."
The black-clothed man asked tentatively, "Why is this faceless man so arrogant? He didn't give face to master several times. I don't know where he gets his confidence from."
