Chapter 147 I'm wearing the vest of the Ten Lords

"Brother Lu, why did you suddenly think of contacting me? I'm still at the company headquarters."

Zhang Chulan quickly answered the call, speaking in a very low voice.

Without waiting for Lu Liang to answer, he continued, "I've concealed everything I could about the collection."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhao asked me to bring you a message, saying, 'One should act with moderation, as the full moon will wane, and an overfilled vessel will easily topple over.'"

"Brother Lu, I think you're right to listen to Mr. Zhao's advice. He's a very smart man."

Zhang Chulan advised very considerately.

Hearing this, Lu Liang sneered.

"'Everything should be done in moderation' sounds true, but who determines this 'moderation'?"

"Everywhere? Or Zhao Fangxu?"

"When the company needs Quanxing as a check and balance, the degree of Quanxing is one. When the company no longer needs it, the degree of Quanxing may become zero."

"This kind of dynamic 'degree' is not easy to grasp, Zhang Chulan, what do you think?"

"How would I know? I'm just a messenger..."

Zhang Chulan laughed dryly twice, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Brother Lu, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Lu Liangqing hummed, and went straight to the point: "Zhang Chulan, I have an important matter that I need you to do."

"Brother Lu, go ahead."

"Help me get some information about the Yaoxing Society that the company has, and also find out Zhao Fangxu's attitude towards the Yaoxing Society."

Hearing this request, Zhang Chulan took a deep breath.

"Brother Lu, this request is too difficult. I don't have the ability to do it."

"No, Zhang Chulan, I have confidence in you!"

Without waiting for Zhang Chulan to refute again, Lu Liang said directly: "I have found some new clues about Wu Gensheng."

"The content is related to Wu Gensheng's life experience and his real name."

"If you're interested, just give me what I want in exchange. Zhang Chulan, I'll give you three hours. No more waiting."

After saying this, Lu Liang hung up the phone.

In the bathroom cubicle of the Nadutong company's headquarters, Zhang Chulan stood there, staring at the sound transmission ring that no longer flickered, his brows furrowed.

After a moment, he reached out and rubbed his face vigorously, and then walked towards the chairman's office without hesitation.

……

While Zhang Chulan was collecting intelligence, Lu Liang did not stay in the base and wait.

When it comes to understanding the Yaoxing Society, there is another sect in the alien world that cannot be ignored.

That is Jianghu Xiaozhan, which is also an intelligence organization.

Yaoxing Society is not only a new and growing organization for Jianghu Xiaozhan, but also a powerful competitor. Jianghu Xiaozhan will certainly conduct a lot of investigation and research on Yaoxing Society.

But Mu You is a very old-fashioned person. Given his personality, he is unlikely to make a deal with Quan Xing.

Even if Zhuge Qing, Fu Rong and others were sent there, they might not be able to obtain any core information related to Yaoxing Society.

So, Lu Liang decided to go and investigate it himself.

After one hour.

Jicheng, the headquarters of Jianghu Xiaozhan.

Lu Liang stopped in front of a restaurant in the city center.

Although it is located in the city center, the restaurant looks very antique.

Right above the door of the restaurant, there is a plaque hanging high up with the three characters "Yinghelou" written on it. The writing is powerful and very tasteful.

From ancient times to the present, restaurants have always been places where various information is circulated.

The Yinghe Tower is the predecessor of the Jianghu Inn.

Although the name has been changed long ago, the original restaurant has been preserved and even branches have been opened across the country.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Yinghelou is a century-old restaurant and a national chain.

In the eyes of strangers, Yinghe Tower is a medium for Jianghu Inn to conduct external transactions.

For strangers who want to ask Jianghu Inn for help, the most direct way is to come to Yinghe Tower and find the person in charge.

Thinking of this, Lu Liang withdrew his gaze from the plaque of Yinghe Tower, straightened his Taoist robe, and walked in.

……

As soon as Lu Liang entered the room, a waiter dressed in ancient "waiter" attire immediately came up to greet him warmly:
"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Lu Liang waved at him and walked straight to the counter.

Behind the mahogany counter stood a middle-aged man with a short beard, dressed in the attire of an ancient "shopkeeper".

The shopkeeper's eyes swept across Lu Liang's Taoist robe, and he understood, but his expression remained normal as he said,
"Sir, would you like a pot of our Yinghelou special wine?"

Lu Liang nodded slightly and said the codeword he learned from Xia Liuqing -

"Yes, I want three taels of wine."

"Ice Soul Drunk in the Cold Pond, Blade Burning in the Red Flame, or Brewed in the Formless Breeze. Which one would you like, sir?"

"Let's each take one or two."

The shopkeeper nodded, turned around and led the way, saying, "Come with me and get it over here."

Lu Liang followed the shopkeeper to the upstairs of the two-story building behind the restaurant.

After closing the door, the shopkeeper gestured for Lu Liang to sit at the low table opposite, and then asked:

"I wonder which sect you belong to?"

Lu Liang raised his hand and stroked his beard, then replied with a smile: "Maoshan Shangqing, Zhao Guizhen."

Hearing this name, the shopkeeper suddenly became excited.

For no other reason, Elder Zheng of Maoshan Shangqing had come to Jianghu Inn several months ago, looking for a man named Zhao Guizhen.

The shopkeeper's eyes quickly passed over Lu Liang's face.

The person in front of him looked very similar to what Elder Zheng had described, with thick eyebrows that were raised and forked, and the corners of his mouth that were slightly turned down.

Doesn’t this mean that it is very likely that two deals can be completed today?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper restrained his expression slightly and asked Lu Liang:

"I wonder if Taoist Master Zhao is here today to ask questions or to look for someone?"

"Ask about something."

"What are you asking about?"

Lu Liang looked around, a look of vigilance appeared on his face, and then he lowered his voice and said:
"This matter is of great importance. Please come closer, boss."

Hearing Lu Liang's request, the shopkeeper surnamed Liu hesitated a little, but still leaned forward and tried to sell him:
"If what the Taoist wants to ask is something secret, then you've come to the right place, Jianghu Inn—"

Unfortunately, before Shopkeeper Liu could finish his words, several "little hands" formed by blue Qi flow penetrated through the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head and directly into his brain.

Caught off guard, he fainted.

Before he fell into coma, Manager Liu looked at Lu Liang with disbelief, his eyes clearly saying: This is the territory of Jianghu Inn, are you crazy?
Lu Liang had no time to pay attention to the meaning of the look.

He directly laid the unconscious Manager Liu flat on the ground, and then the "blue hand" covered Manager Liu's forehead again.

Soon, a ball of memory Qi emitting a faint blue light was taken out.

It contains the location and method of storing information about Jianghu Inn.

Lu Liang placed the Qi ball on his forehead, and the Qi ball automatically sank into his mind, and scenes of memory emerged.

He quickly extracted useful information from it——

"The intelligence data of each sect is stored in a special intelligence room, and only the head of the sect, Mu You, has free access."

"When entering, you will need to verify your identity. The method used is Jianghu Xiaozhan's unique body movement, 'Lanfeng Step'."

After noting down the building layout of Jianghu Inn’s headquarters, Lu Liang used the “Blue Hand” again to retrieve another memory Qi ball from Shopkeeper Liu’s mind.

This Qi ball contains the content related to the "Lan Feng Bu" body technique.

The most powerful skill among Jianghu Xiaozhan's martial arts is the body movement.

After all, much of their intelligence comes from tracking and eavesdropping.

If your speed and stealth are not strong enough, you will never be able to survive in this line of work.

Even the Tang Clan, known for its physical skills, once praised the "Lan Feng Bu" of this Jianghu Inn, saying that its agility was even greater than that of the Tang Clan's "Xu Bu".

Lu Liang placed the Qi ball on his forehead again, and the Qi ball flowed into his brain along the center of his eyebrows.

"Progress is like the wind that drives away the fog, retreat is like the movement of clouds at lightning speed, twisting and turning is like a snake crawling along the grass, and swiftly turning is like a swallow flying over the eaves..."

While checking his memory, he tried it out according to the formulas and movements he saw in his memory.

Soon, Lu Liang realized the uniqueness of "Lanfengbu".

The steps seem casual, but each one is very tricky. Whether it is a 90-degree right-angle turn or an emergency stop and restart at the extreme limit, it can be completed in an instant.

Moreover, when performing at full strength, it is difficult to capture the figure with the naked eye.

"It's worthy of being Jianghu Xiaozhan's best treasure. This movement skill is truly extraordinary!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Liang's eyes.

Learning this movement skill will be of great benefit to his future battles, and it can be considered an unexpected surprise.

……

Ten minutes later, Lu Liang stopped.

He has already learned the "Lan Feng Bu", but it is only in its initial form at present.

Fortunately, Lu Liang just wanted to sneak into the Jianghu Inn to get some information and had no intention of causing a direct conflict.

Moreover, the "pearl" obtained from the Yinyin aliens can help him reduce his presence. As long as he can successfully sneak in and obtain the information, escaping will not be a problem.

The next moment, Lu Liang sat down on the ground.

A red light flashed, and his hands moved quickly on his face.

Let your eyes droop slightly, make the top of your head bright, and adjust your expression to be serious...

When Lu Liang put down his hand, he looked like Mu You, the leader of Jianghu Inn and one of the Ten Lords.

After adjusting his face, Lü Liang stood up straight. Red Qi flowed from his body, and his bones made a slight crackling sound. In a short time, he transformed from a sturdy Taoist priest into a lean middle-aged man.

Then, Lu Liang picked out a set of clothes from the bag that was closest to Mu You's style and put them on.

Then, he quickly adjusted his vocal cords, held his breath, and walked out.

Shopkeeper Liu will be unconscious for two hours under the influence of "Blue Hand", but someone will come in to check on the situation after about half an hour.

Therefore, Lu Liang only has twenty minutes left.

He must sneak into the Jianghu Inn and get information about the Yaoxing Society within twenty minutes.

……

Fortunately, Jianghu Xiaozhan’s headquarters is not far from here.

ten minutes later.

Lu Liang has arrived outside the target intelligence room.

The disciples guarding the gate did not take the routine identity check too seriously.

When Lu Liang walked through the courtyard gate with the "Lanfeng Step", he heard the discussion of his disciples coming from behind him.

"The master's movements seemed to have become even more powerful. For a moment, it was as if he had vanished before my eyes."

"Yeah, I think so too. The Sect Leader is so powerful..."

Lu Liang walked quickly into the intelligence room.

Inside, rows and rows of paper files were lined up.

Lu Liang's eyes searched quickly inside, and soon, he locked onto a thick file bag with the words "Yaoxing Society" written on the side.

He untied the bag, took a peek inside, and after making sure the contents were correct, he threw the file bag directly into the devouring sac.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of another file bag next to him out of the corner of his eye, which contained information belonging to another sect.

If one is in order, it is also in order; if two are in order, it is also in order.

Without much hesitation, Lu Liang put the file bag into the swallowing bag.

Then, he left the Jianghu Inn in a swagger.

Half an hour later.

Mu You's face changed when he returned to the sect and entered the intelligence room.

"Who entered the intelligence room today?"

"Master, you are the only one who can enter the intelligence room."

"Yes, Master, didn't you come here just half an hour ago?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just got back. I was outside half an hour ago!"

"what??"

"Check quickly, what's missing!"

……

While the Jianghu Inn was in chaos, Lu Liang had already successfully reunited with Zhuge Qing and the others.

Everyone gathered together and studied the information that Lu Liang had collected.

One copy comes from the intelligence room of Jianghu Inn.

There is another one, which was just sent back by Zhang Chulan.

Lu Liang's eyes quickly swept across the spread-out information.

The location of Yaoxing Society’s secret base was definitely not in the intelligence, otherwise the company would have taken direct action.

But this information is still useful.

While quickly flipping through the information, Lu Liang found that the difference between the information from Nadutong and Jianghu Xiaozhan was very interesting.

A lot of information on Nadutong comes from official data.

For example, the information registered by the Yaoxing Society in the annual census of alien identities, such as the scope of activities, hometowns, and abilities of Yaoxing Society employees.

The information in Jianghu Inn is more down-to-earth.

For example, the compilation of information about Yaoxing Society in the forum, and the focus of Yaoxing Society's development inferred through the publications published by Yaoxing Society itself.

Looking at these materials, Zhu Yuan made a bitter face.

"Brother Lu, what can you tell from this? It's all just a bunch of random information. I just feel overwhelmed."

"Of course I can see something."

Lu Liang analyzed, "Through the Yaoxing Society's registered employees, their places of origin, and their martial arts schools, we can infer the focus of their activities."

"Compared with the information from Jianghu Inn, we can roughly pinpoint these three locations."

Lu Liang tapped the map with his finger.

"Those formations that conceal the divination might have been set up later, but building a base doesn't happen overnight."

"So, we can naturally deduce the most likely location of the Yaoxing Society's secret base from this information."

"Besides, these are all underground organizations, so they naturally cannot be established in densely populated areas."

"So, suburban areas and mountainous areas are where we can focus our attention."

"Brother Lu, you are awesome!" Zhu Yuan couldn't help but admire.

"Let's go to the nearest one first."

Lu Liang's finger fell on Baishi Mountain.

……

Baishishan, Hebei Province.

"It's such a big place, how can we find it?"

"If this is a manual search, I don't know how long it will take to find it."

"Maybe we haven't even found the Yaoxing Society's base yet, and the company's people are chasing us first."

Lu Liang also nodded silently.

At this time, if Er Zhuang could provide help, it would save a lot of trouble.

He remembered that due to the accident, only the chest and above of Erzhuang's body remained, and he now mainly relied on the equipment provided by the company to maintain his life.

I don’t know if there is any possibility of cooperation between him and Erzhuang if the condition is to recover his body.

If I have a chance later, I can go to the Northeast to have a look...

However, even if there is something to talk about, it is of no use at this moment.

Lu Liang collected his thoughts and concentrated on thinking of a countermeasure.

Zhuge Qing tried to calculate again, but still to no avail.

"The visibility in this mountain forest is poor, making the search even more difficult."

Hearing Zhu Yuan's complaint, Lu Liang's mind suddenly lit up and his eyes lit up.

Forests? There should be snakes there.

The next moment, Lu Liang's pupils silently changed color.

"Possession!"

As soon as Liu Man's spirit took over his body, Lu Liang felt that his body became much lighter. At the same time, three poisonous needles quietly appeared on his right hand.

"go with!"

The poisonous needle in the middle suddenly stabbed out and headed somewhere in the grass.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yuan shouted nervously, and the others also became alert.

"It's okay, just a snake."

Lu Liang took a few steps forward and stopped at the place where the poison needle had pierced.

Sure enough, there was a thumb-thick, half-meter-long, black snake with patterns twisting on the ground.

The poison needle did not pierce deeply, and the reason why the snake did not slip away was that the poison stored in the poison needle was slowly injected into the snake's body.

And the color of the snake seemed to become darker.

After using up about one-third of the poison in the needle, Lu Liang retracted the needle.

At the same time, he sensed the connection between himself and the snake.

Under his control, the snake made a special "hissing" sound.

Soon, more and more hissing sounds were heard, as well as the rustling sound caused by friction with the grass.

The sounds were getting closer and denser.

"Holy crap! So many snakes!"

Although they knew that the appearance of these snakes was related to Lu Liang, Zhu Yuan and the others were still scared.

Lu Liang also secretly praised in his heart that the effect of this poison was better than he had imagined.

The poison needle contained one of the three kinds of Gu obtained from Chen Duo, called "Raw Gu - King Snake".

A snake infected with this poison will become a king snake, able to command other snakes of the same kind.

While controlling the king snake, Lu Liang said to the surrounding snakes:

"Little ones, help me find any signs of human activity around here, paying special attention to places like caves."

"Hiss—hiss—"

Accompanied by the sound of spitting out their tongues, the snakes quickly swam out, twisting their bodies and disappearing into the grass.

……

Ten minutes later.

The hissing sound was heard again.

Lu Liang's eyes lit up and he said:

"found it!"
