    The sudden mention of the Eastern Expedition made the atmosphere solemn.

    In the past, Western countries have organized many Eastern expeditions, but most of them ended in failure. Occasionally, there were small victories, but they were quickly counterattacked by Eastern countries.

    Zhang Hao lowered his head, but his heart became more and more determined: rich mineral resources, coupled with the monopoly of trade routes and the shadow of war, this is forcing me to follow the pace of industry.

    The meal lasted until evening, and when it was about to end, another maid came in and said, "Dear distinguished guests, a rumor is being discussed downstairs. After careful consideration, Jiuzhenlou deems it necessary to inform all distinguished guests."

    "Please tell me," Zhang Shengde said.

    Maid: "Half an hour ago, there was a rumor downstairs that Cuizhu Peak, the temple owner of Zixu Temple, Taoist Master Mingxu, was related to the massacre of the Guan family a year ago.

    And Taoist Master Mingxu obtained a treasure map from the Guan family, which is related to the legendary "Nine Immortals Mountain Overseas".

    Many people are planning to go to Zixu Temple tomorrow to find out more.  "

    "What!" Everyone was surprised, especially Ji BuTong, who suddenly stood up.

    Ji BuTong¡¯s face was complicated, with a hint of anger flowing, "The Guan family is a family affiliated with the Jiuyang Sect. It was suddenly wiped out a year ago. The reason is unknown and the murderer cannot be found. Tomorrow I will go to Zixu Temple!

    Hey, as a sacred Taoist temple, there have been constant scandals recently!  "

    Zhang Hao thought thoughtfully: "Why did the rumors appear at this time?"

    The maid replied: "It started suddenly. Maybe the source is not in Jiuzhen Tower."

    Everyone looked at each other and stood up one after another, saying that this matter must be investigated immediately.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    When he returned to the shop, it was already nightfall; Zhang Hao placed two large food boxes in front of Zhang Han, "Brother, these are for you."

    "Thank you." Zhang Han took the food box, sat down and started eating.

    There is no doubt about the delicious food from Jiuzhen Tower, but there is no doubt about the price. There are more than 20,000 spiritual stones in total, no discount!  By the way, Zhang Hao also got a red "VIP token".

    But after Zhang Shengde came back, he kept sitting in the hall, as if waiting for someone.  Zhang Hao was very curious, but Zhang Shengde didn't explain, just said to wait.

    Zhang Hao got bored waiting and started practicing.  It just absorbs the medicinal properties of Jiuzhenlou delicacies.

    Time came quietly to midnight, and Zhang Shengde suddenly said, "Here we come. Xiaohao, make tea and welcome the distinguished guests!"

    It doesn¡¯t matter if there are guests in the middle of the night, but you are still an honored guest?

    While Zhang Hao was preparing tea, Zhang Shengde slowly opened the door. There was already a middle-aged man in a purple robe standing at the door with a smile. This man was a bit fat and his smile was a bit naive.

    But for some reason, Zhang Hao felt a little cold in his heart when he saw this man and his smile.  That'sa bit of crisis sensing!

    After sitting down, Zhang Hao served tea, and Zhang Shengde said: "Xiao Hao, this is the steward of Yeyue Tower, Bai Ye, surname Bai, name Ye. At night, please call me Uncle Bai."

    "Zhang Hao has met Uncle Bai."

    Bai Ye smiled slightly: "I didn't bring anything good when we first met, so I'll give this to you. As long as an invisibility talisman is activated, it will be difficult to detect it within half an hour, even in the general Golden Core stage."

    This is a piece of jade talisman that looks very ordinary, the size of a palm, and the jade color is mixed; only the faintly powerful aura that comes out frightens Zhang Hao.

    Zhang Shengde was a little surprised: "Thank you, Uncle Bai. This is a talisman. It can be regarded as a one-time magic weapon! Because the talisman has low requirements for use, its value is more precious than the top magic weapons!"

    "It's just a small thing, for daily practice." Bai Ye took Zhang Hao's tea and turned to Zhang Shengde and said, "Old Zhang, we are all acquaintances, so I'll just tell you the truth. I want the remaining three pieces of black iron.  Yes. Give me a real price."

    "There are three tons in total, 15% off, minus the fractions, a total of 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

    "Okay, that's interesting!" Bai Ye said without hesitation, waving to the outside, and someone came in immediately.

    Zhang Hao was startled. He didn¡¯t see anyone outside just now, and there were ten of them!  These guys seem to appear out of nowhere.

    Not only that, these guys do things without making any sound.  Put down the spirit stone, lift up the black iron, and disappear in a swish.

    Zhang Hao¡¯s eyes widened, he was like a ghost!

    Seeing this, Bai Ye smiled: "Didn't your father tell you that Yeyue Tower is an organization responsible for assassinations and intelligence?"

    "Ahthat's it!" Zhang Hao suddenly realizedEnlightenment, no wonder!  No wonder he came to my door in the middle of the night and walked like a ghost~~~

    Bai Ye seemed to enjoy Zhang Hao's expression. He turned to Zhang Shengde and said, "Thank you. I have two pieces of news. Do you want to hear it?"

    "If you can ask Manager Bai to point it out specifically, you must listen!"

    "The rumors that suddenly appeared during the day were spread by the Qian family; and one of the purposes of the Qian family is to ensure that you go to Zixu Temple tomorrow so that you can ambush easily!"

    "That's it!" Zhang Shengde suddenly realized.  With this rumor and so many people as ¡®companions¡¯, Zhang Shengde will definitely take the opportunity to go to Cuizhu Peak tomorrow to seek justice.

    Bai Ye smiled, "So, do you want to know where the Qian family is ambushing? Do you want to know their power? Do you need to hire a shadow bodyguard for Zhang Hao?"

    Zhang Shengde was speechless: "I know giving it away for free is no good! I need to know all the information, and also hire an experienced late-stage golden elixir shadow bodyguard for Zhang Hao!"

    "Haha" Bai Ye said very proudly, "Thanks to the review, the price of the information is 500 spirit stones.

    The price of bodyguards in the later stage of Jindan is 30 spiritual stones per hour.  If there is a battle, all consumption, etc. will be calculated at double the market price.  "

    "make a deal."

    Bai Ye smiled and said to Zhang Hao: "The bodyguard has arrived, just three feet behind you."

    arrive?  Zhang Hao's eyes widened. There was nothing around him.

    Is it three feet behind you?  Zhang Hao's eyes widened and he looked carefully for a long time before finally finding a flaw.  "What a brilliant invisibility technique! I almost didn't notice it."

    This time it was Bai Ye's turn to be surprised: "Did you see it? How is it possible? It's hard to find even in the foundation building stage!"

    Zhang Hao pointed to the ground and said: "Look at the shadows on the ground. The light emitted from the jade lamp on the wall is diffuse, but a section of the shadow here seems to have been cut off."

    This time, it was Zhang Shengde¡¯s turn to laugh: ¡°Old Bai, bring it!¡±

    Bai Ye smiled helplessly, but still happily took out three high-grade spiritual stones from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shengde.  Then he explained to Zhang Hao:

    "There was a rule a long time ago. Anyone who discovers our shortcomings and corrects them will be rewarded with at least a high-grade spiritual stone."

    Is that so?  Zhang Hao understood, and looked at the edge of the shadow again: the normal shadow edge was blurred, with a gray transition, which was caused by the diffraction of light; but the invisible shadow did not.

    But after thinking about it, Zhang Hao stopped saying it, just know this for yourself!

    Bai Ye left, Zhang Hao saw the message left by Bai Ye:

    Zhang Hao's recovery and the outbreak of the Zhang family made the Qian family anxious again; so they found Miao Feihu and the Feihu mercenary group and prepared to ambush Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde.

    In order to ensure that the Zhang family would ¡®definitely¡¯ go to Zixu Temple, the Qian family spread rumors.

    In addition, Bai Ye also had a speculation in the message: The reason why the Qian family was able to blackmail Zixu Guan to curse Zhang Hao was probably related to the current rumors.

    Zhang Hao thought thoughtfully: "The Qian family found out about Zixu Guan, and used it to blackmail Zixu Guan to curse me. But now not only the curse has failed, but the Qian family is also in crisis, so the Qian family became angry and punished Zixu Guan for his misdeeds.  It's public!

    The Qian family killed two birds with one stone!  "

    Zhang Shengde nodded, "The place where the Qian family ambushed turned out to be Luhua Town! It's really a surprising place!"

    Zhang Han took out a simple map and said: "Luhua Town is thirty miles east of the county. Apart from a patch of reeds, there is almost no terrain that can be used, and it is under the eyes of the city lord.

    Qian family, why are you so crazy?  "

    Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps, this is the so-called 'attacking the enemy by surprise'. The Art of War says: The most important thing is to plan the attack! Therefore, the place where you ambush does not necessarily have to pay attention to geographical advantages, it can also be psychological advantages!"

    "Not bad!" Zhang Shengde glanced at Zhang Hao again in surprise.  After a short pause, Zhang Shengde said again: "Xiaohao, dad has some questions and wants to ask you."

    Zhang Hao¡¯s heart skipped a beat.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
