The First Mist Chapter 139 Xu Shen's Kingly Prestige
Xu Shen took a look and found that except for those ownerless spiritual secrets that were dim all year round, four of the remaining 12 light balls were glowing faintly at this moment.
Among them is the orange-yellow light ball No. 3 in the detective’s house.
She is really leisurely... Xu Shen felt a little emotional, but this time he hoped that the other party would be present to help him answer the question. After all, other people spoke less and seemed unwilling to say too much and reveal their own information.
"Here comes number 10."
The detective saw Xu Shen's light ball light up and greeted him with a smile: "No. 10, have you not thought of your code name yet?"
"without."
Xu Shen still maintained his low, hoarse voice and said, "Is the code name important? It's just a name."
"Number 10 is the king, so he naturally doesn't care about these appearances, just like Number 1 and the others." Number 5 said, his voice changing into a cute girl's voice, like a cute teenage girl.
"Are you a boy or a girl?" Xu Shen looked at No. 5.
"Guess." No. 5's voice became a little more playful.
The detective chuckled and said, "Based on my observation, No. 5 must be a man."
"You're right." No. 5's voice became rough, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
The detective grinned and said, "It's no use pretending to admit it, you are a man."
"I'm not pretending, I'm serious." No. 5's voice became coquettish.
Xu Shen's eyelids twitched slightly. This No. 5 gave him goose bumps. If he was really a strong man, but made such a sound... It was hard to imagine the other party's current mental state.
"I have something here, see if anyone needs it."
Xu Shen didn't chat too much, for fear that the detective woman would discover something. He went straight to the point and called his anchor space to his side, making it appear.
The things inside the anchor point were revealed, and at the top was the eyeball held by Mo Qinghao.
This thing is not a weapon, but it has extraordinary effects.
"Eye of Chris?" The detective woman was knowledgeable and recognized the eyeball above at a glance, but there was only a little surprise in her voice. Obviously, this thing was not that rare, or it was nothing new to her.
Xu Shen was slightly delighted when he was recognized. He did not ask directly, but deliberately used a transaction method to probe, so as not to show anything inconsistent with his status as a "king".
"Is there anything you need?" Xu Shen asked.
"I've heard of the Eye of Chris for a long time. I heard that it is used to detect rebels. It can sense any evil thoughts in their hearts. Unfortunately, it has already been used." No. 5's voice turned into that of a charming mature woman, with regret:
"As for these soldiers, would No. 10 let me choose them and then decide whether I need them?"
Detect evil thoughts? Xu Shen thought of the grayish-white aura flying out of this eyeball, and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was tracked. He did not expect that there was such a magical item in the inner city. It seems that he needs to control his murderous thoughts when assassinating in the future.
"Number 10 is indeed a king. He can easily take out so many soldiers. Wow..." The detective woman exclaimed, "I want to pick some too. Maybe I can find some soldiers that suit me."
"No problem." Xu Shen acted quite generously.
He no longer had any use for these soldiers, so he might as well exchange them for money or other valuables.
What's more, they are all stolen goods of the Mohists, and they will be exposed if they are held in your hands.
" There's also , which is something that specifically attracts ancient corpses. It's a pity that I won't go outside the wall, so it's useless." No. 5 said after seeing something inside.
Xu Shen saw a black object inside. He had tested it before and found that it was not a soldier, and he didn't know its purpose. Now combined with what No. 5 said, he immediately understood why Mo Qinghao and the others were suddenly attacked by a large number of ancient corpses.
The familiar scent that I smelled also came from this thing.
The inner city really has everything...Xu Shen is a little envious of the young masters of these big families.
Surely they never go hungry.
"Number 10 is very generous. By the way, if you find what I need, what would you like to exchange for it?" Number 5 asked, and his voice turned into that of a young man.
"As for money, No. 10 definitely doesn't need it. As for other things, I can't think of anything the king needs." The detective also seemed a little embarrassed.
Who said I don’t want money... Xu Shen was speechless. Although he was not particularly short of money at the moment, no one would think that money was too little. Naturally, the more the better.
If he had more money, he could even buy a Xushen Cannon from the Wolf Leader.
Having heard about the power of the Ruins Divine Cannon, Xu Shen was quite looking forward to it. Although he might not need to use such a powerful weapon, it would definitely give him a strong confidence if he had it in his hands.
"Do you know about the Jiang family's situation?" After thinking for a while, Xu Shen asked in a low voice.
He couldn't do what Mu Xue did and rush to help the Jiang family without hesitation, but he would definitely lend a helping hand as long as there was a chance.
"Jiang family? Is it the Jiang family, one of the seven noble families in the inner city?" No. 5 asked in surprise.
"Except for the Jiang family, there shouldn't be anyone else who dares to have the surname Jiang."
The detective woman obviously knew more information than No. 5, and asked, "What information do you want to know about the Jiang family? Does No. 10 have a grudge against the Jiang family or a favor?"
"Do you have any news about the Jiang family?"
Xu Shen could hear the meaning behind the detective's words, and he did not reject her test. He said calmly, "Of course I am indebted to you. I heard that the Jiang family is in trouble. If it is convenient, I would like to help them and repay a favor from my early years."
"The Jiang family actually has a king ally like No. 10..." The detective woman's voice revealed surprise, and she smiled and said, "If
Xu Shen heard the tone of the detective's words and said calmly: "Of course I am indebted to you. I heard that the Jiang family is in trouble. If it is convenient, I would like to help them solve it and repay a favor from my early years."
"The Jiang family actually has a king ally like No. 10..." The detective woman's voice showed surprise, and said: "If the Han family knew about this, they would probably be more cautious. Unfortunately, the Jiang family is now in decline, and their bottom line is about to be exposed. It's not just the Han family that is eyeing them..."
The Han family? Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Is it also one of the seven noble families?
"Is the situation very bad?" Xu Shen asked with a frown.
The detective woman looked at Xu Shen and suddenly chuckled, "No. 10 should be in Dicheng, right? Is he one of the eight kings of Dicheng?"
Xu Shen looked calm. He knew he would be speculated like this when he was asking. After all, if the king was in the inner city, he would not need to come here to inquire about the Jiang family's news because he had his own intelligence channels.
"snort!"
Xu Shen just snorted coldly.
Seeing that Xu Shen did not deny but only showed dissatisfaction, the detective woman smiled and returned to the topic: "I do know some news about the Jiang family. I heard that the old king of the Jiang family was injured. Now the various territories of the Jiang family in the inner city have been divided up by other forces. The entire Jiang family has shrunk its power, and the territories that once extended to various base cities have also been eroded."
"Given the Jiang family's current situation, it is estimated that they will not be able to hold out for much longer, at most one or two years."
“Not even two years.”
Another online user, number 4, said: "The Han family has been visiting the Moon God Cult frequently recently, trying to cut off the Jiang family's last resort. If it's fast, it will take half a year, if it's slow, it will probably take a year before they start."
It was the first time Xu Shen heard the voice of No. 4. He had heard from a detective before that 124 were all kings, and there was another one called No. 11.
“If the Jiang family loses the Moon God Cult, it will really be over.” The detective woman shook her head and sighed.
Xu Shen's heart sank. He didn't expect that the Jiang family was already in such a precarious situation.
"However, if No. 10 has a close relationship with the Jiang family and is willing to do his best, he may be able to extend the life of the Jiang family by a few years." No. 4 said to Xu Shen in a calm tone. Through his voice, Xu Shen imagined the image of a majestic middle-aged man.
This King No. 4 should be a person who holds great power on a daily basis... and he is the king of the inner city.
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a while, the Jiang family's situation has become so dangerous. I will naturally do my best. Last time, No. 1 owed me a favor. I wonder if he is willing to help me once."
The detective knew that Xu Shen had completed No. 1's task last time. His voice revealed surprise and excitement. He said, "Didn't No. 1 pay you last time? That's right. You are a king, so you definitely don't need anything special. Favors are more important. If No. 1 is willing to help, then this matter will be exciting. Can the Jiang family really come back to life?"
"If two kings come forward for the Jiang family, it is indeed possible to stabilize the situation of the Jiang family..." No. 4 thought for a while and said calmly: "But the fate of the Jiang family has come to an end. Even if No. 1 is willing to come forward, there is only one chance. When the old lion falls, it is not the wolves and tigers that crush it, but its own decay and weakness."
"That's right." The detective woman nodded.
Xu Shen frowned slightly. Does this mean that the situation within the Jiang family is also very bad?
He sighed secretly, this matter was too tricky.
However, he only wanted to protect Sister Li and didn't care about the other people in the Jiang family.
Unfortunately, its own ability is too weak. Facing such a powerful force, the second form is only the backbone and will not make any change to the declining situation.
There is no deterrence either.
As for the third form, even Wood King knew very little about it. Judging from his description alone, it was already as difficult as ascending to heaven and extremely difficult to achieve.
"Anyway, if you have any news about the Jiang family, feel free to tell me." Xu Shen said to No. 5 and the detective's woman.
"No problem." No. 5 agreed with a smile.
Xu Shen did not say anything more to avoid resentment. He asked No. 5 to wait for a moment, then exited the spiritual space, called out the anchor point in the room, took out the Xu Zhixiang and the big eyeball, and only left some of the Xu soldiers.
Then he came to the Lingmi Space again and traded all 10 Xubing to No. 5.
"As expected of a king, so magnanimous!" exclaimed the detective woman.
"I'll go check it out and be right back." No. 5 said, then hurried out, and his ball of light dimmed.
"If it were me, I would definitely do it one by one. If No. 5 runs away or refuses to pay, we will suffer a huge loss." The detective said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen also had this concern. Even if No. 5 came online again to default on his debt, he would be helpless. After all, he did not know No. 5's real identity and could not threaten him.
This is why they can communicate with the king on an equal footing.
"It's okay." Xu Shen said casually, showing nonchalance and casualness, as if the 10 Xu soldiers were just a trivial matter and it didn't matter even if they were discarded.
Seeing Xu Shen's attitude, the detective woman said nothing more and speculated that Xu Shen should be an extremely wealthy king.
If such a king helped the Jiang family, the Han family would suffer.
Thinking of this, the detective woman couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. She wondered how the Han family would react if she passed this news to them.
Not long after, the light ball No. 5 lit up again.
"Sorry for the long wait. Unfortunately there's nothing suitable. Thank you, No. 10." There was regret in No. 5's soft and cute voice.
"It's okay, I have another one." Xu Shen said, and then said to the detective's woman: "Why don't you try these first?"
"good."
The detective woman agreed to overlap her anchor point with Xu Shen, and Xu Shen traded all his soldiers to the other party.
Soon, the detective's wife also withdrew.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, she finally came online and said with a smile: "I actually picked one. Haha, it's really unexpected."
Her voice was full of surprise and joy. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would actually meet him by chance during a casual transaction.
"Number 10, I owe you a big favor!" The detective woman said with a smile, but her voice revealed a bit of seriousness, not a sarcasm.
"Really? How much has the weight been increased?" Xu Shen asked casually.
"I won't tell you..." The detective smiled. Only she knew how much the fusion just now had improved her combat power.
"It would have been even better if I had met No. 10 a few days ago," the detective said with a smile.
"Why?" Xu Shen was puzzled.
"No. 10, I will keep an eye on the Jiang family's affairs for you, and notify you if there is any news." The detective woman did not answer, but smiled and said: "Other than these, I will remember this favor. Except for not being able to help you join the Jiang family, everything else is negotiable."
It seems that this favor is not to the point of risking one's life... Xu Shen smiled helplessly, but this also made him very satisfied. This detective woman was most likely at the limit of the second form, the Jixu state, otherwise she would not commit suicide so easily. Such a favor was still quite important.
"I'll get another one."
After Xu Shen finished speaking, he took the 9 weapons returned by the detective woman and left the mysterious world.
After returning to the room, Xu Shen placed another part of the soldiers into the anchor point and entered again.
First, trade with No. 5. This time, No. 5 still gets nothing, and the same goes for the detective woman.
It seems that the fusion of Xu soldiers is not as easy as imagined, and it may not be possible to find a suitable one among dozens of pieces.
"Although I didn't find anything suitable, I still want to thank No. 10 for your trust." Although No. 5 felt regretful, he still expressed his gratitude to Xu Shen: "I will try my best to collect information about the Jiang family for you."
"Thank you." Xu Shen was grateful.
After a few more pleasantries, Xu Shen left the spiritual secret space.
However, not long after he withdrew, a piece of news leaked into the inner city, shocking several undercurrent forces.
