Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 21: Camp Opening
Jiang Rong looked at Tan Tai Qing Run who was talking freely, and suddenly felt relieved: "I remember that when you were first transferred here, you were very radical in doing things, not like you are now, clear-minded and patient."
Tan Tai Qing Run was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said helplessly: "Uncle Rong, you are here again."
In fact, Jiang Rong was prepared to agree to Lu Qingshan's request for cooperation from the very beginning.
How could he not have considered what Tan Tai Qing Run could think of?
The reason for putting forward so many opinions was actually just to guide Tan Tai Qingrun and let Tan Tai Qingrun make the decision to agree to cooperate with Lu Qingshan.
——No matter how senior he is, the owner of Yuanshan Tower is still Tan Tai Qingrun, not him, Jiang Rong.
The only person who can really make the decision is Tan Tai Qingrun.
Jiang Rong doesn't want to and won't do anything to steal the show.
"Then I'll let that kid in?"
Tan Tai Qing Run nodded.
Jiang Rong raised his long sleeves, and the black mist that filled the room disappeared instantly.
After the silent ban was lifted.
"Come in." Jiang Rong opened the door and said to Lu Qingshan who was standing outside.
Lu Qingshan followed Jiang Rong back to the room.
"How do you want to cooperate?" Tantai Qingrun raised his eyebrows and got straight to the point: "What do you want?"
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and asked, "Did you catch the Blood Corpse Master?"
Jiang Rong said in a deep voice: "According to the information you gave us, we quickly captured him, and he is now being held in the prison department of Yuanshan Tower."
"I want the Blood Corpse Immortal." Lu Qingshan looked at Tan Tai's clear and cold face and said slowly.
"We are still interrogating Master Xueshi. He hasn't said anything yet. Once he confesses what he knows, we can give him to you." Jiang Rong interrupted.
"I want him now." Lu Qingshan said in a firm tone, unmoved by Jiang Rong's words.
Tan Tai's clear and runny eyes moved slightly as she looked at Lu Qingshan, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Qingshan remained calm in the face of Tan Tai Qingrun's gaze.
Finally, a gleam of light flashed in Tan Tai Qing Run's eyes, and he tapped the table with his fingertips: "Xue Shi Zhenren was originally captured with your information. If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
"But..." Tan Tai Qing Run frowned and said calmly, "I want to know, why are you so eager to ask me for this demon cultivator? What do you want to do?"
Lu Qingshan said calmly: "I just want his life."
Tan Tai Qingrun glanced at Lu Qingshan meaningfully and did not dwell on the matter of Blood Corpse Immortal any more.
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "I said at the beginning that the information about the Blood Corpse Master was a gift for you. Now that I have asked you for the Blood Corpse Master again, I will naturally not let you suffer for nothing. I will give you another piece of information in exchange."
Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, a bright light flashed in Tan Tai's clear eyes.
"Is Qi Yuan, the supervisor of Zhenjiang Prefecture, also in Yuanshan City now?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Qi Jianshou is a spiritual practitioner from Tianji Temple. He has extraordinary skills and his actions are always secretive. Not everyone can know about them. I'm beginning to think that you seem to know much more than we imagined." Jiang Rong looked at Lu Qingshan and said word by word.
Lu Qingshan did not comment: "Among the seven major sects, Tianji Temple has the closest relationship with the Great Xia Royal Family. Zhishou Tower, as an organization affiliated with the Great Xia Royal Family, has a long-term cooperative exchange relationship with Tianji Temple. If anyone in Yuanshan City knows the whereabouts of Qi Jianshou, I think it is only you, the owner of Tantai Tower."
Tan Tai Qing Run did not deny it. "Yes, half a month ago, Qi Jian Shou found a blood pool around Yuanshan City from the mirror of the Heavenly Secret Mirror. He had a vague feeling of foreboding, so he went to Yuanshan City to investigate the whole thing. He also came to our Yuanshan Tower and asked us to fully assist him in investigating the area around Yuanshan City, but we have found nothing . Qi Jian Shou used the Heavenly Secret Mirror to find that the blood pool was in the area around Yuanshan City. We used the huge manpower of Yuanshan Tower to search, but we did not find any trace. This matter is extremely strange. We are all very worried that the underworld is planning some big conspiracy to attack Yuanshan City."
Looking at Lu Qingshan's calm expression, a complex expression flashed across Tan Tai Qingrun's face: "Do you know something?"
Lu Qingshan nodded and said directly: "Yes, I not only know the location of the blood pool you are looking for. Moreover, I also know that the real target of the underworld is not Yuanshan City as you think, but Qi Yuan and Qi Jianshou... or Qi Jianshou's Tianji Mirror."
A trace of doubt flashed across Tan Tai Qing Run's face, and he asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"The Underworld is planning to seize Qi Jianshou's Tianji Mirror. The time should be July 15th, when Qi Jianshou uses the Tianji Mirror [Observe the Sky] again." Lu Qingshan affirmed.
Why did the underworld wait until July 15th to take action to seize the Tianji Mirror from Qi Yuan?
When Lu Qingshan recalled the properties of the Tianji Mirror, he figured out these nodes.
The split mirror of the Tianji Mirror must have been refined by Qi Yuan into his own magic weapon, and in most cases it is in Qi Yuan's Dantian.
There are only two ways to seize the Tianji Mirror.
1. Kill Qi Yuan and then take the mirror.
Second, wait for Qi Yuan to actively use the Tianji Mirror to split the mirror, and then take the opportunity to seize the mirror.
According to historical records, Qi Yuan only lost the Tianji Mirror on July 15th, but he was still alive and well.
Then it is obvious that the underworld must have chosen the second method.
The Tianji Mirror has no effect on combat, so Qi Yuan would not use it under normal circumstances except for using the skill of observing the sky.
When Qi Yuan first discovered the blood pool, which was on July 1st, he used the sky observation to investigate the blood pool.
If the blood pool cannot be found in Yuanshan City, Qi Yuan will definitely use Guantian again to search for the location of the blood pool.
The cooldown period for the Sky Observation Skill is fifteen natural days.
The time when Qi Yuan can use the astronomical observation again is July 15th!
Therefore, it is obvious that the underworld took the mirror when Qi Yuan used Guantian for the second time.
Jiang Rong, who was standing by, couldn't believe it: "How did you know this?"
With their understanding of the underworld, this kind of action is so ambitious that the news would never be leaked out easily.
Not only did Lu Qingshan know the plan, he could even accurately calculate the time of action, as if he was a participant. This made Jiang Rong suspicious.
Lu Qingshan chuckled: "I am only responsible for providing information. As for the source of the information, I am not in a position to disclose it. It is up to you to decide whether to believe it or not."
Hesitated for a moment.
"Where is the location of the blood pool?" Tan Tai stared at Lu Qingshan with a clear and cold gaze and asked in a cold voice.
"Do you have a map of Yuanshan City?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Tan Tai Qingrun nodded, and a piece of silk appeared out of thin air in his hand. On the silk was a detailed drawing of all the terrain and locations around Yuanshan City.
A very detailed map.
Lu Qingshan took the map from Tan Tai Qingrun, placed it flat on the table, and tapped one of the spots on the map with his finger.
"This is the location of the blood pool." Lu Qingshan did not hide anything and pointed out the location of the blood pool directly: "The blood pool is covered by a high-grade illusion array, so you can't find it. The reason why Qi Jianshou was able to easily find the blood pool at the beginning was because the blood pool was just an erbium, an erbium that the underworld deliberately exposed in order to attract Qi Jianshou to Yuanshan City. The real target of the underworld is Qi Jianshou's Tianji Mirror."
"I have already given the information about the Blood Corpse Master in exchange, so..."
Jiang Rong was silent for a moment, but finally nodded: "I'll have my men take you to where the Blood Corpse Master is imprisoned."
…
"You officially open the Zhishoulou camp."
"You have currently reached a cooperative relationship with Yuanshan Building (a branch of Zhishou Building)."
"Yuanshanlou's organization favorability increased by 50."
"Zhishoulou's organization's favorability increased by 5."
"Yuanshan Building: Friendly (50) - [Preliminary Cooperation]."
"Zhishou Tower: Friendly (5)——[Yuanshan Tower Collaborator]."
There are eight levels of camp favorability in "Nine Heavens".
From high to low, they are: admiration (above 2000), respect (500 to 2000), enthusiasm (200 to 499), friendliness (0 to 199), indifference (-1 to -199), rejection (-200 to -499), disgust (-500 to -2000), and hatred (below -2000).
