After Lu An left, he found a few more beggars to inquire. The information he got was similar, and there was no more valuable information. There was no point in continuing to search like this. At this moment, Lu An thought of a person.
Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, Liu Shou.
The commoners only knew the surface, but Liu Shou was different. The Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce's current power was still not to be underestimated. Although it was suppressed by the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce, it was still a colossus. After asking around, Liu Shou had officially become the president of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce a month ago and was completely in charge. This way, Liu Shou knew more things.
However, it was very dangerous to ask Liu Shou about things. The foundation of the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce was here, and it was controlled by four sects. The Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce was very likely to stand on the side of the Thousand Light Sect and even become their spy to search for the people of the Ice Fire Union. If he went there, it would be like a lamb entering the tiger's den.
However, this was definitely the fastest way to get information. As he walked, Lu An came to the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. He looked at the huge building in the distance and did not go there in the end.
He would wait for the beggars' news first. If he could get the information he wanted before the evening, then he would not go to Liu Shou. If there was no news, he could take a risk in other ways.
Time passed by slowly. Lu An walked back and forth in several places, but the beggars did not return. Finally, someone appeared near the evening, but he did not get anything at all.
It seemed that it was still too difficult for these beggars to ask for information. Lu An did not wait any longer. It was already late at night. Lu An came to the Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce again and looked at the headquarters that was still brightly lit.
Lu An did not dare to act rashly and could only wait for the gathering in the dark. Finally, when it was around midnight, he saw a few figures walking out of the headquarters.
The guards in front of the headquarters' gate bowed. It was obvious that these people were of noble status. These people were obviously clustered around one person, and this person was none other than Liu Shou!
Lu An's eyes narrowed. He turned to look at the beggar beside him and walked over. "Give this note to that person, and these two gold coins are yours."
The beggar was taken aback. He quickly nodded and took the note and the gold coins. Without thinking, he got up and started working!
The beggar quickly ran towards Liu Shou. Liu Shou and the people around him were all very strong, so how could they not notice the beggar approaching? The surrounding people immediately became alert, afraid that the beggar was an enemy in disguise. However, after Liu Shou sized up the beggar, he immediately stopped the surrounding people who were about to make a move.
"He's a real beggar," Liu Shou said.
The beggar quickly ran in front of Liu Shou and stretched out his right hand, revealing a piece of paper. He panted as he said, "Sir! This is a note from someone! "
Liu Shou was startled and asked, "Where is he?"
"Over there!" The beggar immediately turned around and pointed at the alley. However, he was stunned because there was no one at the entrance of the alley. He said in confusion, "He was here just now …"
Liu Shou's eyes moved slightly. After sending the beggar away, he took a step forward. The people around him also knew that the president didn't want them to see the contents of the note, so they all turned around.
Liu Shou opened the note and frowned when he saw the contents.
"At a quarter past three in the morning, Fragrant Food Restaurant, Heavenly Pavilion, Lu An."
When Liu Shou saw the two words' Lu An 'at the end, his heart immediately tensed up. He was too familiar with this name. There was no possibility of him forgetting it.
A flame appeared in Liu Shou's palm, and the note quickly turned into ashes and dissipated. He turned around to look at the crowd and said calmly, "I'm going back to rest. You guys should rest too."
"Yes," the crowd said.
Liu Shou indeed went back to his residence as he said and didn't go anywhere else.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was three in the morning. This was the time when people slept the deepest, and it was also the time when the entire Imperial Capital was at its quietest.
The Food Restaurant was a restaurant that wasn't too famous in the Imperial Capital. It was open 24 hours a day. At this moment, the door of the Heavenly Pavilion was open. The waiter was already serving dishes inside, but strangely, there was not a single guest inside. It was completely empty.
This was ordered by a guest in the evening, and they were just serving the dishes on time. Soon, the dishes were served, and the door was closed again. The entire Heavenly Pavilion fell into silence.
There were only a few pedestrians on the long street. Only the sound of the wind could be heard in the entire city. Since the world was in chaos, the people in the Imperial Capital were in a state of panic. They knew that there were people patrolling at night, so they didn't dare to go out.
At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew into the Heavenly Pavilion, and a figure appeared on the side of the table.
It was none other than Liu Shou.
It was a quarter past three in the morning. He came early and didn't care about the empty room. He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, drinking alone under the moon.
Half an hour later, at 3: 00 PM, another figure appeared.
Liu Shou was startled and turned around. When he saw the figure, he couldn't help but smile and say, "It's my honor to be trusted by Brother Lu."
Lu An also smiled. Liu Shou was right. His original plan was to come in at a quarter past three in the morning. After all, Liu Shou could have asked his subordinates not to come first and wait for him to arrive before taking action to surround the place. After all, arriving early would be dangerous.
However, it was indeed comfortable to talk to smart people.
Lu An sat down and said to Liu Shou, "Long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see." Liu Shou sighed and said, "It's been so long that I can't see through Brother Lu's strength."
Lu An smiled. Although he was wearing the Invisible Immortal Hoop, he was indeed a Level Eight Heavenly Master. Liu Shou was a Level Seven Heavenly Master, so it was normal that he couldn't see through him.
"After the world was in chaos, every family was in chaos." Lu An wasn't in a hurry to ask. Instead, he said casually, "Brother Liu must be very busy, right?"
"It's not just busy." Liu Shou smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in the Montenegrin Empire is not the same as before. Only Guang Yu and I are left of the Four Great Chambers of Commerce. The other two have been confiscated. Do you know who they gave the loot to?"
"Sects?" Lu An guessed.
"Only half." Liu Shou said, "The other half was given to Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce. In other words, Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce's financial power doubled. They are now stronger than our Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce."
"After the world was in chaos, the Deep Sea Alliance, which originally cooperated with our Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce, started to enter the Eight Ancient Continents. They stopped selling things and started to develop their own forces and countries." Liu Shou said helplessly, "Without the cooperation with the Deep Sea Alliance, my advantage has been greatly reduced. Now, I'm going downhill."
Lu An nodded slightly. Liu Shou was right. The Heavenly Treasure Chamber of Commerce would inevitably be hit hard in this chaos.
"Brother Lu, I'm afraid … you didn't find me to listen to my complaints, right?" Liu Shou took a light breath and his mood became better again. He said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Lu An's heart sank. He paused and said softly, "There are two things in total."
"Brother Lu, please tell me," Liu Shou said.
"The first thing is that I want to save Prince Li and Shao Ling's people." Lu An said seriously, "Even if I can't save them all, saving the juniors can be considered as returning the favor."
Liu Shou was startled. He really didn't expect that Lu An would want to save people. However, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Now, the people of the two families are locked in the dungeon and guarded by many Heavenly Masters. It's extremely difficult to save them. Even if Brother Lu is not weak now, it's not something you can do alone. "
Liu Shou's words were very reasonable. After all, Liu Shou didn't know Lu An's identity, let alone the Ice Fire Alliance. Although the Ice Fire Alliance was a hot topic in the sects, ordinary Heavenly Masters didn't know anything about it.
"What's the second thing?" Liu Shou asked.
Lu An's eyes narrowed and his voice became a little low. He didn't answer but asked, "Brother Liu, do you know a person named Liao Xiong?"
Only the royal families of the four empires could know the details of the sects. Liu Shou was probably not qualified to know, so Lu An didn't directly ask about the All Light Sect. Instead, he said the name.
When Liu Shou heard the two words' Liao Xiong, 'he immediately frowned! Lu An was delighted. This reaction showed that he knew him!
"I know him!" Liu Shou frowned and said, "A few years ago, I knew this person. He was very close to the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce and was very lecherous. Originally, I didn't like this person and wanted to make a move on him. However, I didn't expect him to have a royal token. Moreover, it seemed that the royal family and the Guang Yu Chamber of Commerce were very afraid of him. Our Celestial Treasure was also afraid of getting into trouble, so we didn't care about him. "
As he spoke, Liu Shou looked at Lu An in confusion and asked, "Brother Lu, why are you asking about him?"
Lu An's eyes narrowed and said seriously, "To be honest, I want to catch him!"
