The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 178 On Subjective Initiative

It's not like An Ziyang hasn't seen blood before, nor has he never killed someone. Logically speaking, a little blood wouldn't be enough to shock him.

However, the human spirit is like a steel wire. No matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand bending left and right.

An Ziyang was really tormented by what he saw and heard during this short time. He finally met the lovely little girl Xiao Si, and just when he felt relieved, he suddenly saw the blood on her snow-white little hand. How could he not be shocked?

Xiao Si noticed An Ziyang's unusual movement, looked up, and then looked down at his hands.

"Oops, it wasn't cleaned..."

Suddenly, her sleeves moved.

It seemed as if a long, living creature was wriggling under the clothes.

An Ziyang watched helplessly as a centipede as thick as a finger crawled out from Xiao Si's sleeve, crawled around his wrist and onto his hand, opened its mouth and pounced towards the blood.

"!!!"

An Ziyang clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

He finally understood why Li Miao asked him to bring two great witches and the Miao King's Notes to this seemingly harmless little girl.

This little girl is actually a great witch!
Xiao Si didn't care.

She is not only a great witch, but also a human Gu. Just raising some insects on her body can be considered as self-cultivation.

The blood was not hers, and the poisonous insect would not die if it ate it. She was too lazy to find something to wipe it off, so she just let the poisonous insect clean it up, saving the trouble of finding blood to feed it.

In just a moment, Xiao Si finished reading the notes and looked up at An Ziyang.

"Did my Qianhu bring anything else?"

An Ziyang replied quickly.

"There are two more great witches transported from Miaojiang. The two elders of the Beggars' Sect are watching and are waiting outside the courtyard."

"okay."

Xiao Si agreed and thought for a moment.

"How about this."

"I have accepted the people and the things, but we have been separated from Qianhu for several months, and we don't know his current situation. I would like to trouble you to tell us."

"Master Deng, go get everyone here. I'm going to go find Brother Hai."

"Little brother, what's your name?"

"An Ziyang."

"Oh, Brother An, please wait here for a while. We will go find someone to come over."

"well."

An Ziyang nodded and sat down.

Xiao Si and Deng Baixuan turned and left.

After a while, everyone arrived one after another.

Mei Qinghe, You Ziang.

Deng Baixuan, Zhou Yingxue, Zhang Jingfeng, Liu Baiyun, Gao Ling.

There are also several centurions under Li Miao, all of whom are first-class fighters.

Finally, Xiao Si walked in holding Wang Hai's hand.

Wang Hai walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at An Ziyang.

"My name is Wang Hai. The captain is not here, so I am in charge here. You are older than me, so I call you Brother An."

An Ziyang quickly stood up and bowed.

"I dare not, I dare not. Lord Wang, you have served under Lord Li for many years. The one who has achieved success comes first. I dare not act like a senior in front of you."

Wang Hai waved his hand.

"Since we all work under Qian Hu, we are brothers. There is no need to be polite. Qian Hu himself does not like to set rules at home, so just be casual."

"The captain went to Miaojiang alone. We only received some news from the commander, but it was not detailed. We would like to trouble you to tell us about it." An Ziyang did not rush to speak. He rolled his eyes and glanced at Wang Hai.

Wang Hai immediately understood and nodded.

"We are all family here, no need to worry, just say it."

An Ziyang then told Li Miao in detail what he had done during this period of time.

Including the affairs of King Miao and Ji Tianrui.

When he finished speaking in one breath and picked up a bowl of tea to moisten his mouth, the room was still silent.

After a while, Deng Baixuan let out a sigh of relief.

"Really? We were just frogs in a well before."

"Luckily, we met Lord Li. Otherwise, we would have to muddle along in this world for the rest of our lives, and then die in confusion one day."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Hai raised his hand and interrupted everyone's sighs.

"Everyone, these words can be left for later."

"Since the Ming Cult thieves are heading to Shuntian Prefecture, and the captain is also heading back, we, as their subordinates, cannot just sit there and wait for something to happen."

"I will first tell you three things, please remember them."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Wang Hai.

"First, we are all subordinates of Qian Hu, so I won't hide it."

"The 'celestial being' must be hidden by the imperial court. We are on government pay, so if you know about it, you can know about it, but you must not leak the news."

Everyone nodded.

"Secondly, since the Ming Cult has 'celestial beings', and there are quite a few of them, we must not act alone in the future, and we must not act rashly, otherwise we may lose our lives in vain."

"Third, you must not mention the master's martial arts to anyone else."

Wang Hai glanced at everyone in the room with a cold look.

"There is a thread hidden in what I just said, leading to the gods and the imperial court. You are not fools, you should all know it."

"Let me be frank. I, Wang Hai, only recognize Qian Hu in my life. If I find out who has done something wrong to Qian Hu... you all know what Xiao Si and I do."

Everyone's faces changed and they nodded repeatedly.

Wang Hai's expression then relaxed and he spoke slowly.

"Before Qianhu comes back, we have to prepare things. We can't let Qianhu come back and look for people to kill."

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, Brother Qian, go find the 'hooks' we have planted in the capital and collect information to see if there are a large number of strangers in or outside the city recently. Especially those with Miao accents, or a large number of young and strong men, or those who have recently purchased a large amount of blood food, we must investigate carefully."

Several of Li Miao's trusted centurions responded in unison and left after receiving the order.

"Four masters, take your disciples with you and go to various places in the city where martial artists gather to investigate. See if there are any martial artists from other places coming into the city recently, or if there is any unusual news. For example, if there are any secret manuals, any major events, etc., you should pay attention to them."

Deng Baixuan, Liu Baiyun, Zhang Jingfeng and Zhou Yingxue took the order and left.

"You Ziang, you are the best at Qinggong. Even the best of ordinary people can't catch up with you. So you have the most important task."

"Brother An, you are also a true disciple of the Thief Sect, and you have many tricks up your sleeve. Go with You Ziang to check the houses and charity cemeteries outside the city. The Ming Cult has many people, and most of them will not enter the city in advance, so they are easily exposed. These are the most likely places for them to hide, so be careful, and come back directly if you find anything unusual."

You Ziang and An Ziyang took the order and left.

"Miss Mei, Elder Gao."

"Let me be frank with you two. I don't trust the people who just left. Only you two, one of you is grateful and has received great favors from my family, and the other one has no ties and can only take shelter under my family's door."

"So, the two of you are going to come with me and Xiao Si to do the most dangerous thing."

Wang Hai stood up.

"Let's go find Ji Tianrui."
