Hearing Li Gucheng's words, "Wutong" was obviously on guard. "What do you want from him?"
"I want him to help me assassinate another person." Li Gucheng said as if nothing had happened, "If you don't want to help me, it doesn't matter. Just like last time, you can help me pass the message."
Hearing that, Wutong was a little relieved, but she didn't immediately agree. "Although we are helping each other and making deals, neither he nor I want to be killers or fighters.
The people of the Western Qin Dynasty were still searching for the young Lord Li of the Western Qin Dynasty. This kind of thing was too troublesome.
We don't have any grievances with your enemy. It's okay if we do it occasionally. But if we do it often, we will have enemies everywhere. "
"I won't let you do it for free." Li Gucheng said, "I will certainly reward you for the deal between us, and I will also reward your friend. As long as I can do it, you can name your price."
He looked at Wutong and said, "I don't want to find out your real identity. If you don't trust me, we can find Mr. Zun together to be a witness."
Wutong thought for a moment and said, "Don't do it again."
"Okay." Li Gucheng nodded. When he was about to speak, Wutong suddenly said, "By the way, if the person you want to assassinate is a Martial Sage, there is nothing to talk about."
Li Gucheng said, "Don't worry. It's Emperor Wu. As far as I know, he should be in the 14th Realm."
Hearing that, a name came to Chen Luoyang's mind.
He remained calm and asked as "Wutong", "Who?"
"Zhao Rimian, the heir of the Black Ox Temple," Li Gucheng said.
"You are really good. Your enemy is either the Western Qin Dynasty or the Holy Land of Taoism." Wutong complained, "Do you actually want to drive us out?"
Li Gucheng smiled and said, "Just like last time, we don't have to kill him. We just need to hurt him."
"Then I will say the same thing as last time." Wutong said, "If Zhao Rimian is guarded by a Martial Sage, then we can forget our deal."
Li Gucheng nodded and said, "No problem. As far as I know, he is not in the Green Bull Temple now. He has come to the Western Qin Dynasty alone."
"Although he's alone, the Western Qin is like sending us into a tiger's den." Wutong said discontentedly.
"He will return to the Western Qin in a few days. You can take action on his way back," Li Gucheng said.
Wutong hesitated for a moment, "Let's see what the situation is like before we make a decision."
He looked at Li Gucheng and said seriously, "We've already offended the Western Qin Dynasty. If we have to offend the Green Bull Taoist Temple in such a short time, it's too risky. We can't take such a risk for nothing. Not to mention that I'm asking for a higher price, you may not be able to afford my lesser reward."
"What do you want?" Li Gucheng asked.
"I want Dragon Star Iron!" Wutong said in a deep voice, "One hundred catties of Dragon Star Iron."
Hearing this, Li Gucheng frowned slightly.
The other party was indeed a lion that had opened its mouth wide.
Nowadays, the Dragon Star Iron was extremely rare in the Mortal World. One or two kilograms was already a priceless treasure, let alone a hundred kilograms.
Even a rich man like Young Lord Li had only obtained a little by chance.
However, given some time, if he was lucky, it was not completely hopeless. But he might lose a lot of money because of it.
Young Lord Li had countless treasures in his hands, many of which were treasures that others lacked but could not get.
With that as a bargaining chip, he was confident that he could raise a large amount of Dragon Star Iron.
The only problem was whether it was worth it.
Recalling that Taoist Banhai appeared in the Yongyue Mountain Range and seemed to have contacted the remnant soul of the Qin Emperor, Li Gucheng gradually made up his mind.
"I need some time," Li Gucheng said. "When we meet next time, I will pay you at least half of it. As for the other half, we can ask Mr. Zun to be our guarantor. I will pay you off by the next time we meet."
"I trust you," Wutong said.
After discussing some details, the two said goodbye and left the hall.
After they disappeared, lights and shadows flashed in the hall, and Mr. Zun and Ji Zhong, who were shrouded in light, showed up.
As soon as Ji Zhong walked out of the hall, Chen Luoyang secretly stopped him. However, he blocked Ji Zhong's perception of the outside world, so he couldn't see or hear the deal between Li Gucheng and Wutong.
After Li Gucheng left, Chen Luoyang disguised himself as "Mr. Zun" and showed up again. He made Ji Zhong take a drop of Distant Sky Illusory Mist and a leaf of the divine tree.
He did it once every ten days. It had become a habit.
While Chen Luoyang looked after Ji Zhong, he calculated Li Gucheng's next move.
After he sent Ji Zhong away, he updated the information about Li Gucheng and Zhao Rimian through the white jade bottle in his head.
As expected, Prince Li Jr. met up with Young Daoist Priest Zhao.
Chen Luoyang didn't need to think too much to know that Li Gucheng told Zhao Rimian to leave Zhengyang City to create a chance for Taoist Banhai to assassinate him.
But it was not easy to tell who Li Gucheng wanted to deal with. It depended on his next move.
In Zhengyang City, the capital of the Western Qin, in the mansion of Young Lord Li, Li Gucheng reappeared in his sickly appearance. He looked at Zhao Rimian and said, "My men told me that they saw that Taoist in the East Zhou Dynasty. I will go there with Taoist Zhao to find out."
Zhao Rimian said, "Your Highness, you are not well. How can you go there?"
Li Gucheng said, "My men will track the Taoist's whereabouts and report to me. I will make arrangements in the middle. It will be difficult to find him unless I go there.
I also want to find out why this Taoist wants to assassinate me and who is behind it. Although I have not recovered, I can move freely. Taoist Zhao, you don't have to worry about me.
But that Taoist's cultivation and strength should not be underestimated. It is very likely that he has become a Sage. We still need to be careful. It is better to contact your sect's Taoist masters to help us in secret.
Our Great Qin Dynasty is in troubled times, and we can't spare any masters to go to the East Zhou Dynasty. We have to trouble your sect. "
Zhao Rimian thought for a while and then said, "In that case, I have to trouble Your Highness. For safety's sake, Your Highness, you'd better act with the masters of our temple. I will contact the elders in our temple."
Li Gucheng nodded and said, "That would be great."
The two sides immediately took action.
Zhao Rimian was in the open, and Li Gucheng was in the dark. They went to the border of the Western Qin and the East Zhou Dynasty together.
Soon after young Taoist Zhao left the Western Qin and set foot in the East Zhou Dynasty, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him when he passed by a Flaming Moon Valley.
That person was like a ghost, coming and going without a trace. If he did not show up, Zhao Rimian would not be able to detect his whereabouts.
Looking at the smiling sloppy Taoist in front of him, Zhao Rimian seemed to understand something. "Your Highness, are you the Taoist Banhai who assassinated Li Gucheng?"
The sloppy Taoist smiled and said, "Yes, I did. But I didn't intend to kill him from the beginning. Otherwise, he would not be alive.
Today, I come to you for the same thing. I didn't mean to kill you. Since we are all from the same sect, I just want you to suffer a little. Please don't take it to heart. "
When he said this, he was talking to a nearby mountain ridge.
Zhao Rimian was a little surprised.
On the mountain, an old Taoist showed up. He looked at Taoist Banhai who was standing in front of Zhao Rimian and said, "Taoist friend, you are sharp. I admit that I am not as good as you."
Taoist Banhai's last sentence was not meant for Zhao Rimian, but for the old Taoist.
Zhao Rimian hurriedly bowed to the old Taoist and said, "Master."
The old Taoist nodded and took a step to the foot of the mountain. He came to Zhao Rimian's side and looked at Taoist Banhai. "How did my disciple offend you? Why do you need to discipline him?"
"I have no grudge against you. I was just entrusted by someone." Taoist Banhai smiled and waved his hand. "Don't ask me who it was."
The old Taoist and Zhao Rimian were both in disbelief.
Zhao Rimian had come to find Taoist Banhai, but now it was Taoist Banhai who came to find him. It was really strange.
They didn't suspect that the person who ordered the sloppy Taoist was Li Gucheng. Otherwise, there was no need for Li Gucheng to remind the Green Bull Monastery to gather experts to set up an ambush.
"I wonder who entrusted you with this?" Slowly, the old Taoist said, "Since we are all on the same path, why make things difficult for a junior?"
Taoist Banhai smiled and said, "If there was a Martial Saint by his side, it would be fine for me to not make a move. But since you are here, I will naturally retreat."
Zhao Rimian followed his master in silence. The old Taoist said, "In that case, I thank my old friend for giving me face."
He looked at Taoist Banhai and said, "You look unfamiliar. Are you from the Qingwei Realm or the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Chen Luoyang's incarnation of Daoist Banhai smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist seems to have some misunderstandings about me, thinking that I'm a demon dragon in human form. Did you hear the rumors spread by the people of Azure Dragon Island?
I met them by chance in the Yongyue Mountains. It seems that they misunderstood. "
The old Taoist smiled slightly.
Of course, he couldn't grasp the white jade dragon bone in Taoist Banhai's body as keenly as Dragon King Xu Peng, but he could vaguely sense the aura of a true dragon on Taoist Banhai's body, which was different from ordinary people.
Taoist Banhai smiled and raised his palm like a saber, lightly chopping to the side.
A black saber aura directly flattened the mountain ridge next to him!
At the same time, a faint dragon roar could be heard.
The old Taoist and Zhao Rimian were both dumbfounded. "This is …"
Taoist Banhai smiled and said, "This is the real answer."
The old Taoist was silent for a while and then said, "Fellow Taoist, would you like to join my Green Bull Temple?"
Taoist Banhai said, "The Green Bull Temple is the leader of the Red Dust Daoist Sect. I have always wanted to go there, but I am used to living like a wild crane and prefer to wander the world. I don't like to stay in one place for long. Please forgive me.
However, if the Green Bull Temple needs my help, I won't refuse. We are all on the same path, so we should help each other. "
He looked at the silent Zhao Rimian and said with a smile, "How about this little fellow Taoist contact me in the middle?"
