The Best Tower in the World was located in a rather remote location in Jiuquan County. It was located in the west of the city. It looked like an inn from the outside, but it was a completely different world inside.
Huang Shi was familiar with the Best Under Heaven Tower.
Furthermore, he was a Gold-ranked Assassin and a freelance Gold-ranked Assassin. After he entered, he flashed his token and stated the purpose of his visit, saying that he wanted to see the Tower Master.
The people from the First Under Heaven Tower also knew of Huang Shi's current identity.
The person in charge of the reception asked Huang Shi to wait for a while and then went to report the news. Not long after, the attendant who went to report returned. He looked at Huang Shi and said, "Young Master Huang, please follow me."
Huang Shi nodded and followed the attendant to the backyard. After passing through several courtyards and winding corridors, Huang Shi finally arrived at a study in the backyard.
In the study sat an old man in his fifties.
His name was Tian Yu.
He was the Tower Master of the World's Number One Tower. The entire Long You Dao's Number One Tower was under Tian Yu's management.
Huang Shi stepped forward and bowed, "Huang Shi greets the Tower Lord."
Tian Yu waved his hand. "Sit!"
Huang Shi lifted his robe and sat down. He raised his head to look at Tian Yu, but before he could speak, Tian Yu had already said, "Huang Shi, you are now someone working for Ping Xi Wang and belong to the imperial court, so you are no longer a gold-ranked assassin of The First Under Heaven Tower. Logically speaking, this old man wouldn't even want to meet you. However, since you once served the First Under Heaven Tower, this old man will meet you. "
Huang Shi said solemnly, "Tower Master, I belong to the First Under Heaven Tower and am a freelance assassin. What I do, and being an assassin, are two different things. In this matter, the Tower Head is a little concerned and has overstepped his boundaries. "
Tian Yu raised his eyebrows, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes. He said, "The World's Number One Pavilion is mine. Whatever this old man says, it is what it is. "
Huang Shi sneered when he heard that.
Tian Yu was really interesting.
Listening to Tian Yu's tone, it seemed that he wanted to make Ping Xi Wang an enemy.
Huang Shi said, "If that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. Tower Lord, I've come this time under His Highness' order to invite you to Ping Xi Wang Mansion for a chat. Previously, His Highness had arranged for someone to meet you, but you refused. "
Tian Yu said coldly, "My Number One Tower Under Heaven doesn't care about the people of the imperial court, nor does it involve the matters of the imperial court. Therefore, when Du Qi came to make an appointment, this old man refused. It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. "
Huang Shi said coldly, "If that's the case, then Tower Master wants to become enemies with His Highness."
Tian Yu stroked his beard with a dissatisfied expression on his face. "If you think I'm an enemy of Du Qi just because I don't want to see him, then Du Qi is really too overbearing."
Huang Shi said, "The First Under Heaven Pavilion still has a mission to assassinate His Highness. The World's Number One Tower assassinating His Highness was already disrespectful. On this point, the Number One Tower Under Heaven was probably the one who targeted His Highness first. Speaking of overbearing, the Number One Tower Under Heaven is even more overbearing. "
Pausing for a moment, Huang Shi continued, "Tower Master, I only have one question. Do you want to become enemies with His Highness?"
Tian Yu flicked his sleeve and said with a solemn expression, "I, Tian Yu, am not willing to be the enemy of Western King Ping. My Number One Tower Under Heaven is not willing to be the enemy of Western King Ping. "
"But, I'm not afraid of threats."
"The Number One Tower Under Heaven has always been neutral and independent of the secular world. That's why we've always been standing tall. Now, you want my Number One Tower Under Heaven to interfere with the secular world and even work for Du Qi? That's impossible. "
Tian Yu said, "Huang Shi, even Western King Du Qi can't threaten my Number One Tower Under Heaven."
Huang Shi sneered, "Good, good, good. Seems like Tower Master has made up his mind to be enemies with His Highness. Then, I can tell you that you'll regret it. "
Tian Yu said, "Even if I'm an enemy, I'm not afraid. Huang Shi, send a message to Du Qi. If he dares to make a move against my Number One Tower Under Heaven, all the assassins of my Number One Tower Under Heaven will assassinate him and the others. At that time, the entire Jiuquan County will be in chaos. Paying such a huge price to deal with the Number One Tower Under Heaven is not appropriate. Please ask him to think twice. "
Huang Shi said in disdain, "The Number One Tower Under Heaven is really tyrannical! Only your Number One Tower Under Heaven is allowed to send people to assassinate His Highness, but His Highness is not allowed to retaliate. Interesting, really interesting. Tower Master, you and I have known each other for many years. Since that's the case, let's wait and see. "
Tian Yu said in disdain, "Let's wait and see."
Huang Shi stood up and bowed to Tian Yu before turning around and leaving.
Tian Yu looked at Huang Shi's departing figure and sneered. He didn't think that Du Qi would dare to start a war with the Number One Tower Under Heaven. Du Qi wiped out the bandits in Suzhou because these bandits were out in the open and were easy to deal with. These bandits had a fixed location. Once they left their original location, it would be hard for them to establish a foundation.
But the Number One Tower Under Heaven was different. The Number One Tower Under Heaven was an assassin organization. All the assassins were secretive. When there was a mission, the assassins of the Number One Tower Under Heaven would take action.
As for the Number One Tower Under Heaven, although it was a stronghold, there weren't many assassins in the Number One Tower Under Heaven. If Du Qi were to start a war, Tian Yu would definitely retaliate.
Moreover, when Du Qi sent people to meet him, Tian Yu didn't see Du Qi at that time, so it didn't affect him much. Now, Tian Yu thought the same. Du Qi looked tough, but he had too many misgivings. It was impossible for him to take action.
Huang Shi left the Number One Tower Under Heaven and went straight back to the Ping Xi Wang Residence.
He entered the study room and bowed to Du Qi before saying, "Your Highness, the Number One Tower Under Heaven's Tower Master, Tian Yu, isn't willing to see Your Highness. Moreover, the Number One Tower Under Heaven isn't willing to cancel the assassination against Your Highness. "
Du Qi's eyes flashed with coldness as he said, "It seems like these people are really asking for death. Within Suzhou, and even within Longyoudao, no uncontrolled power is allowed to appear. Since the Number One Tower Under Heaven wants to wrestle with this Prince. Then, this Prince will compete with them. "
Huang Shi said, "Your Highness, the Number One Tower Under Heaven's strength can't be underestimated."
Du Qi said, "This King is aware of that."
Huang Shi continued, "Especially the assassins of the Number One Tower Under Heaven. They are hidden everywhere. Once we take action, if we can't kill the Number One Tower Under Heaven in one fell swoop, the Number One Tower Under Heaven's revenge will be an extremely troublesome matter. Previously, when I went to see Tian Yu, Tian Yu said that the Number One Tower Under Heaven isn't afraid of trouble. He isn't afraid of trouble himself either. He even wants to assassinate you and the other officials. "
Du Qi said, "I've never heard of any local power that can contend against the power of the imperial court. Although the Number One Tower Under Heaven is tyrannical, it's only driven by benefits. Once there are no benefits, then the Number One Tower Under Heaven will have no value to exist. "
Huang Shi said, "Your Highness is wise."
Du Qi ordered, "Huang Shi, are you going to take action against the Number One Tower Under Heaven this time?"
After Huang Shi heard it, he pondered for a moment and understood. Du Qi's question was obviously because he had considered the things that Huang Shi had done in the Number One Tower Under Heaven before.
Huang Shi raised his head and said, "Your Highness, although I have worked in the Number One Tower Under Heaven before, I am a free man. I can come and go as I please. Furthermore, I am only in charge of accepting missions and have nothing to do with the Number One Tower Under Heaven. Therefore, Your Highness can rest assured. This time, I will naturally take action against the Number One Tower Under Heaven. Since the Number One Tower Under Heaven doesn't know how to adapt to the circumstances, they must be eliminated. "
"Good!"
Du Qi nodded and said, "You will be the first force to deal with the Number One Tower Under Heaven openly."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Huang Shi immediately agreed.
Du Qi ordered, "Men, summon Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng to the study room for a discussion."
"Yes!"
After Liu Jian, who was outside the study room, received the order, he immediately sent men to inform them. Soon, Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng entered the study room together.
