The evening sun shone down from the horizon.
The faint burning clouds looked as if someone had opened a hole in the sky.
It looked a little depressing and bloody.
Li Wuyou clasped his hands behind his back and stood in the shadows of the relay station. He silently listened to his subordinates report on the recent information they had gathered.
When the people from the East Factory Guards came here, they were mainly there to investigate Xiong Chengde.
They were there to investigate the Xiong Family.
In addition, the East Factory Guards had been in the Guanlong Pass for many years. Many of their spies had penetrated deep into the Xiong Family's key areas and even the key areas of Taiyuan City. Even in the grasslands, there were some spies from the East Factory Guards who were secretly working.
Therefore, the information they gathered was more detailed.
Especially regarding the recent marriage between the Xiong family and the nomads in the northwest.
"I see."
Li Wuyou also knew the purpose of the marriage between the Xiong Family and the Northwest Nomads. It was nothing more than using his daughter to exchange for the support of the Northwest Nomads. At the same time, he wanted to strengthen his relationship with the Northwest Nomads.
Li Wuyou also knew the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty very well.
If the Northwest Guanlong Army and the Northwest Nomads were to attack together, it would definitely cause a huge shock to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Qinzhou Army's strength was not enough to stabilize the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty would be in chaos.
Although Li Wuyou was confident that he could completely pacify the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be a waste of time. Moreover, it would take too long to regain the Great Zhou Dynasty's fate and people's faith.
Li Wuyou could not afford to wait.
Therefore, he would not allow this to happen.
He had to resolve everything before Xiong Chengde took action. He had to completely break the relationship between the Northwest Nomads and the Xiong Family and make them enemies.
In this way, the Xiong Family would lose an arm. No matter how ambitious or capable he was, he could not mobilize his troops under such circumstances.
He could only temporarily relax and make preparations again.
In this way, Li Wuyou would have enough time to deal with Xiong Chengde and completely eradicate him from the Northwest Nomads.
At this very moment.
Li Wuyou listened to the details of the marriage between the nomads and the Xiong family. His mind was slowly forming a plan on how to destroy this marriage and how to completely break the relationship between the nomads and the Xiong family.
They needed a key person in the middle.
His subordinates had also found out about this key person, who was in charge of the contact between the Xiong Family and the Northwest Nomads.
Hudu's uncle, Morton.
This person was almost entirely responsible for the communication between the Xiong family and the nomadic tribes in the northwest. Everything between the two was handled by him.
In this way, as long as this person was dealt with, they would be able to create a huge misunderstanding and completely infuriate the nomads. Then, they would completely sever ties with the Xiong Family.
If that wasn't enough, he would add more firewood.
"Don't tell anyone that I've been here. Just pretend that I haven't come to Sourcepeak City yet. You can continue to gather information. If I need anything, I'll come and find you."
Li Wuyou finished listening to his subordinate's report. At the same time, the plan in his mind had formed. He nodded slightly and then ordered in a low voice.
"Yes, Superintendent!"
The Qianhu respectfully kowtowed again, and then said in a humble and low voice, "Thank you for your help.
"Please rest assured, Superintendent. I'll definitely send people to gather more information."
"Good!"
Li Wuyou smiled and then casually threw an elixir to the Chiliarch.
This Qianhu was found in the Heavenly Arcane Realm. This Qianhu was at the peak of the Xiantian realm, and was only one step away from breaking through to the Zhenqi Grandmaster realm. Moreover, Li Wuyou could feel the power of this Qianhu's bloodline.
This elixir might be able to help him break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Even if there was no way to break through, it could still bring some benefits to him.
Therefore, he gave it to him.
It was a reward for the Chiliarch's recent good work.
"You've done a good job recently. This is your reward. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Li Wuyou said.
"Thank you, Superintendent!"
The Chiliarch took the elixir thrown by Li Wuyou and held it in the palm of his hand as if it was a treasure. He habitually said thank you and then had time to look at the elixir.
Then, his eyes suddenly widened uncontrollably.
He saw the halo floating on the surface of the elixir. It was a red halo and seemed to be particularly hot. Moreover, it emitted an incomparably strong medicinal fragrance, which seemed to form a layer of particularly mysterious mist.
Then, he smelled the strange medicinal fragrance and felt an indescribable sense of refreshment. More importantly, the restless inner force in his body suddenly seemed to be about to explode.
His entire body was filled with a strange feeling.
"This elixir may be able to help you break through to the Genuine Energy Grandmaster Realm. Use it well and don't be disturbed!"
Li Wuyou said with a smile.
He had to remind the Chiliarch. If the latter accidentally wasted it, it would be a loss.
"Grandmaster?!"
When the Chiliarch heard Li Wuyou's words, his originally shocked face suddenly showed an even more unconcealable ecstasy. Even the hand holding the elixir trembled slightly.
There was a kind of unconcealable gratitude and expectation.
He had been in the Complete Primordial Realm for many years, almost 20 years. In these 20 years, he had tried every means to break through to the Grandmaster Realm. He wanted to improve his Internal Force and turn it into Genuine Qi.
He wanted to live a longer life.
However, after working hard for a long time, he still didn't get any breakthrough. He had been in the Complete Primordial Realm without any progress.
He had almost given up.
However, he didn't expect that the Superintendent would give him an elixir that might help him break through.
He trusted Li Wuyou very much.
After all, everything Li Wuyou had done in these years was amazing and unimaginable.
At the same time, he could feel something from the elixir. It was something that made his blood and Genuine Qi uncontrollably restless.
He knew that he should, perhaps, really have hope.
This pill could really help him break through that layer of shackles and allow him to reach a different realm.
He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"Thank you, Superintendent, I …"
The Chiliarch hurriedly put away the elixir and wanted to kowtow to thank him. However, when he raised his head, he found that there was no one in front of him. Li Wuyou had disappeared without a trace.
Li Wuyou's departure this time didn't cause any commotion. It was quiet because he wanted to hide.
Therefore, even the Chiliarch closest to him didn't feel the slightest fluctuation.
At this time, Li Wuyou had already gone to find Morton.
He was ready to start his plan.
…
Morton had already left the Xiong Mansion.
He sat in a black carriage and slowly drove along the streets of Sourcepeak City, heading toward the city gates.
The streets of Sourcepeak City were bustling with traffic.
People came and went.
Commoners, peddlers, countless shops, and children playing around. All of these noises rose into the air. It was very lively and bustling, and it sounded unusually lively.
Morton lifted the curtains of the carriage and slowly swept his gaze across the streets. A wide smile appeared on his face, along with a hint of envy and anticipation.
He liked the current Sourcepeak City very much.
The prosperity, the affluence, the tranquility and peace of this place.
Most importantly, it was full of life.
It was contained everywhere, in all directions, in all places. It could be seen in the commoners' bodies and faces, in the children's playful voices, and in the peddlers' haggling with customers.
All of this vitality had never existed on the grasslands.
Even the most bustling Golden Tent of the royal court didn't have such liveliness and vitality. It didn't have such a hopeful atmosphere.
This was what Morton envied the most.
This was also the main reason why Morton had wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Han people and the Great Zhou Dynasty for so many years.
He wanted to let the people of the northwestern grasslands have a new life.
He wanted his people, his clansmen, to also live a life of peace and contentment.
People no longer needed to fight against the heavens, the earth, the wild beasts, the wild sandstorms, and the wild wolves of the grasslands for the sake of survival. People didn't even need to fight against their own people for the sake of survival.
People only needed to live according to a certain order, and they would be able to live very well and easily.
Just like the commoners of Sourcepeak City.
Also, like the commoners of all places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, like the people of Chang 'an.
Everything was carried out according to a certain set of rules.
There was no chaos.
He also wanted the grasslands to enter this state.
Thus, Morton had spared no effort to help Xiong Chengde, and also used Xiong Chengde's strength to help the grasslands. He mediated between the two and then promoted cooperation.
Although Morton knew that Xiong Chengde wanted to use the soldiers of the grasslands, Morton was also willing.
As long as he could exchange for hope for the grasslands, this sacrifice was worth it.
These soldiers would eventually die on the battlefield, but it didn't matter. The change of an era, the passing of an era, always required sacrifices, blood, and many people to fall one after another.
The person who facilitated these changes would even leave a bad name in the history of later generations.
Morton didn't care about this.
He only wanted the nomads of the grasslands to be able to truly stabilize and live a peaceful life.
Therefore, he wanted to do all of this.
Clatter!
Clatter!
The black carriage slowly drove through the streets and then came to the gate of Sourcepeak City. The carriage paused for a moment. Morton turned his head and looked at the city he had yearned for for a long time.
This prosperous and lively city.
All the noise was gradually fading away, getting farther and farther away from his ears and disappearing.
The carriage gradually drove out of Sourcepeak City.
Then, it gradually entered the Taiyuan Road, which was slowly turning black. It began to face the sky that was gradually turning into dusk, and began to drive into the distance, towards the northwest grasslands and desert that was invaded by the wind and sand.
"Sooner or later, my people, my compatriots, and my people will come to this city and become a part of it. They will enjoy the life they deserve."
"No matter what price I have to pay, I will bring a future for them."
"This is my mission!"
Morton slowly rolled down the window, then took a deep breath and leaned on the soft couch. He was already a little tired from the hard work and was ready to take a rest.
It was just a short rest.
It was impossible for him to fall into a deep sleep while traveling on this carriage.
Whoosh!
There was a faint wind blowing between heaven and earth, and there were some wind and sand whistling. Occasionally, a few low sounds came from the desert in the distance, adding a little more dignity to the world.
It was even a little depressing.
Morton felt a little dizzy, then he slowly fell asleep.
He didn't sleep very deeply. After all, the carriage was still swaying, the wheels were still rolling, the stones on the ground were bumping, and the carriage was constantly shaking, making him uncomfortable to sleep.
The voices of the guards talking to each other could still be heard outside, and Morton could hear them clearly.
Whoosh!
Just as he was in this strange environment, suddenly, a gust of wind blew from afar. This gust of wind was a little strange. It was not like the usual wind that brought sand and wind over.
It didn't carry a violent whistling sound.
They couldn't even see the shape of the wind, only some distorted light.
It was like an illusion.
However, even so, it still made people feel a little strange.
However, before people had time to react, they were surrounded by the wind. All of a sudden, all the guards, the horses, the black carriage, and Morton were surrounded by the wind.
"This … …"
"Why does it feel like … …"
The guards were the first to react, as if something stirred in their minds. Then, they looked at each other in confusion, and wanted to say something.
However, their voices gradually disappeared, and everyone's face became extraordinarily indifferent.
It was as if all of them had fallen into a deep slumber.
Their footsteps came to a halt.
They had completely turned into statues.
At the same time, Morton, who was in the carriage, frowned slightly. Then, with a crash, his whole body seemed to have lost all support and completely collapsed.
At this moment.
Li Wuyou's figure swept from the distance and appeared in front of these people.
