C592 Someone from the Secret Intelligence Department
Upon seeing Yang Xuan's arrival, Zhang City Lord hastily went forward to welcome him. However, Yang Xuan took a closer look at Zhang City Lord's face. He seemed to have something on his mind.
Just as Yang Xuan was about to ask something, he suddenly saw a man walking out from the City Lord's Mansion. Yang Xuan's eyes were immediately attracted to him.
The man was wearing a green robe and a crown on his head. Although his eyes were firm, his face was as white as jade, making him look feminine.
"Sir Marquis of Lo Capital, this humble one, Zhang Tianci, greets you."
Seeing Yang Xuan looking at him, the man quickly walked to Yang Xuan and bowed. He bowed. However, Yang Xuan was surprised to find out that this man who called himself his humble servant... His voice was sharp and sharp, giving off an awkward feeling.
Sensing the doubt in Yang Xuan's heart, City Lord smiled. He introduced Yang Xuan, "This is Steward Zhang, Zhang Tianci from the Secret Intelligence Department. You can call him Eunuch Zhang or Steward Zhang. Tianci was the one who got his name after entering the Palace. He had come to the Lo Capital this time. He was here to deliver a letter to you under prime minister Xu's orders."
" That's right. This is the letter that prime minister Xu wanted me to deliver to you personally. "
Zhang Tianci smiled and said to Yang Xuan when he saw Yang Xuan looking at him.
Yang Xuan took the envelope and saw the words on Xu Ruxian's silver hook. He couldn't help but feel moved. For no reason, he thought of the time when he was still in Qingzhou City. From time to time, Old City Lord would ask him to study painting with him in City Lord's Mansion.
Although Old City Lord was staying in a small place like Qingzhou City, his identity seemed to be very unusual. Even the palace master of State Hall, Zhou Fengyuan, was an old acquaintance of his.
Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yang Xuan opened the envelope and read the contents.
"Stinking brat:
When you saw this letter, I had already entered a state of seclusion. Although I was in the limelight during the battle outside Profound Gate Pass, I still suffered some serious injuries.
As your first experience, your performance in the past half a year in the Profound Gate Pass wasn't bad. However, since you caused such a huge commotion in the end, I can barely give you a pass!
If my guess is correct, the spectral cultivators have already started causing trouble near the Lo Capital, right? In fact, there are still spectral cultivators in Wei Kingdom. I already knew about this a long time ago. It's just that these spectral cultivators are afraid of my existence, and I didn't want to cause panic. Thus, I have been keeping this matter a secret.
However, after what happened in Lo Capital last time, I realized that these ghost cultivators are getting more and more arrogant by the day. If these spectral cultivators have already started to act, then cleaning up these spectral cultivators will be your second experience.
You can ask Zhang Tianci about the information regarding the spectral cultivators. Although this person didn't have the ability to do big things, he would definitely be able to do the things you asked him to do.
Finally, help me take care of Qingcheng.
Xu Ruxian. "
After reading Xu Ruxian's letter, Yang Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He folded the letter that could be used as a collector's item and placed it back into the envelope. Yang Xuan looked up and saw Zhang Tianci staring at him.
Zhang Tianci saw that Yang Xuan had finished reading the letter and asked, "Mr Yang, what did prime minister Xu tell you?"
"Prime minister Xu asked you to help me from the side and catch all the ghost cultivators while he was in seclusion."
"As I thought, my purpose in coming here is not only to deliver the letter, but also to deal with the matter of the ghost cultivators."
Obviously, Xu Ruxian had already informed Zhang Tianci in advance, so he wasn't too surprised when he heard Yang Xuan's words.
After saying that, he suddenly changed the topic. He looked at Yang Xuan who was deep in thought and asked, "I wonder how much Mr Yang knows about the matters of the spectral cultivators?"
Yang Xuan was stunned at first, but he immediately saw that there seemed to be something hidden in Zhang Tianci's words. He was not in a hurry to ask. Instead, he thought for a while and said what he knew, "The first time I met a ghost cultivator was in Lo Capital. I heard that twenty years ago, a ghost cultivator caused quite a commotion in the vicinity of the capital. Because of this, prime minister Xu finally decided to kill the ghost cultivator."
Zhang Tianci nodded. Seeing the questioning look in Yang Xuan's eyes, he didn't rush to add anything. Instead, he continued to ask, "What else?"
"These ghost cultivators use living people as cultivation resources. Not only did they violate the heaven and human ethics, they also caused many innocent people to suffer. Such an Evil Cultivator should be punished by everyone."
Yang Xuan said with righteous indignation. He couldn't help but recall the scene he saw two days ago in a small village outside the city. He couldn't help but gnash his teeth in anger. Although Yang Xuan had witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships since he was young, it didn't make his heart distort. On the contrary, because he had read many books that Yang Qianxue had given him, it made him feel full of justice.
Zhang Tianci looked at Yang Xuan with a profound look, as if he was making some kind of decision. After a moment, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
"That's right. Since Mr Yang can think of this, I will naturally be at Mr Yang's service. I will only do this to drive the ghost cultivators out of Great Wei."
After saying that, Zhang Tianci took out a stack of information and handed it to Yang Xuan. He said, "These ghost cultivators were pursued by prime minister Xu twenty years ago. They disappeared without a trace in the Great Wei. These few years, they had suddenly become active again. I think there must be some expert behind them. According to the information obtained by the Heavenly Mystery Department, these spectral cultivators had formed an assassin organization called Shadow Pavilion. They had some close connections with many big families in the Great Wei in secret. This was the information obtained by the Heavenly Mystery Department and prime minister Xu. It recorded many things related to spectral cultivators. As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not delay chopping wood. Mr Yang might as well take a good look at it before making a move on Yang Xuan. "
Zhang Tianci's words reminded Yang Xuan. If he continued to cause trouble for ghost cultivators like he did before, he might not even be able to find the nest of ghost cultivators even if he was exhausted to death.
Casually flipping through the information Zhang Tianci gave him, Yang Xuan was surprised to find that behind ghost cultivators, there were actually so many unknown secrets.
For example, there were five elders who were walking outside the Shadow Pavilion on the surface. Ghost Eye and Ghost Ink, who were killed by Yang Xuan earlier, were the lowest among them, whereas Ghost Bamboo was ranked third among the elders. He wasn't a tough opponent either. As for the two elders who were ranked first and second, they were called Ghost Blade and Ghost Dragon. Since the establishment of the Shadow Pavilion, the Heavenly Secret Department had only collected the records of their first attack.
Yang Xuan felt ashamed when he thought of his recklessness. He humbly asked Zhang Tianci, "Manager Zhang, when do you think it's better for us to attack?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianci glared at Yang Xuan and said snappily, "prime minister Xu has already said that you will be in charge of this matter. When you think we should attack, we will attack."
