It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Chapter 116 Confirmed, it's you...

"Dad, is there really treasure down there?"

"Not necessarily, it might be a divine martial arts manual."

"That wouldn't be interesting. We have plenty of kung fu skills; we could practice them all."

"Exactly, it's boring!"

After the sons pulled up their pants, they turned around and left. They were joking, saying that jumping off such a deep cliff would be a near-death experience, and all they would get out was a damn workbook. Who could stand that?

Zhou Ye smiled, glanced at the cliff before leaving, then turned and got into the car, continuing down the mountain.

The spy, covered in urine, could only grit his teeth and endure it. He didn't know if the Zhou family had discovered him, but as long as they didn't attack him, they hadn't found him!

But Zhou Ye, sitting in the carriage, was laughing happily. He even picked up his son, who had come to steal snacks, and kissed him on the cheek, which startled the boy so much that he immediately changed carriages.

"Dad kissed me—"

"What? What bad thing did you do?"

"I'm just going to Dad's car to get some snacks, that's not a bad thing, is it?"

"You should keep a low profile these next few days."

The sons were well aware that their father favored the girls, but they didn't think it was a bad thing. They were all young men now, and it was inappropriate for them to be hugged and kissed by their parents all the time. Where was their dignity as men?

But the children didn't understand, while the women certainly did. Seeing his expression, Huang Rong laughed and said, "Did you find some money? Why are you so happy?"

"We've found out who's trying to harm us."

"Who?"

"Zhu ignored it."

Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi?

The women were initially startled, then suddenly realized what had happened. After reflecting on what had occurred, they discovered that if it was Zhu Wushi, then many of the seemingly illogical points would suddenly make sense.

He can influence the imperial court because he is the Iron-Blooded Marquis, personally appointed by the late emperor, and is the current emperor's elder. He can influence the martial arts world because there is a Shangguan Haitang in the Marquis's mansion. She is the head of the number one manor in the world. He can mobilize the power of the Azure Dragon Society and even secretly trick Shangguan Jin Hong because he is also the leader of the Azure Dragon Society.

Most importantly, his Absorption Technique allows him to possess some strange martial arts, like that guy who ran away with red eyes but ultimately committed suicide.

If it were anyone else, knowing Zhu Wushi's power would make them think things through carefully, then the Zhou family wouldn't even need evidence.

Of course, what Zhou Ye was finally able to confirm was the guy hiding in the cliff. The way he hid was obviously someone from Japan. And in this martial arts world, the only one who had connections with Japan was Zhu Wushi.

"Get the information: what are the subordinate forces of the Dragon Guard Manor? The more detailed the better. I need to eliminate all his henchmen first!"

Wansuo nodded, took out a small bottle from her sleeve, uncorked it, and held it out of the car. In less than fifteen minutes, a carrier hawk landed. Wansuo tied the note she had written to the hawk's leg and then released it.

"I must say, the Demonic Sect does have some tricks up their sleeve. After we deal with Zhu Wushi, I'll have to go find some more things for you."

"Okay, I know you've been holed up for so many years. Where are you going this time? Want to take your boat out?"

"want!"

It's not easy! Our own big ship is finally about to set sail. Just thinking about it makes Zhou Ye impatient!

Hulong Villa, study.

Zhu Wushi looked at the intelligence report sent back by his subordinates, his face darkening: What the hell is this?

Huang Rong was right; the other party did indeed have an unconventional communication method. When she scrambled and even rearranged the bloodstains on the wall, the intelligence that the secret agent had risked his life to gather was completely different.

You don't need to know what the other party is trying to convey. Just make sure the opponent doesn't know either. If we're going to be confused, let's all be confused together!

"Begonia————"

"Godfather!" Shangguan Haitang walked in and placed a file on the desk: "The Shaolin Lion-Slaying Assembly is over. The details of what happened have been recorded."

"Okay, well done. Go and rest."

Shangguan Haitang, who had originally wanted to say something, saw his expression and had no choice but to bow and leave.

Zhu Wushi opened the note again, looked at the translation, and fell into deep thought once more.

Are we going up the mountain to hunt tigers tonight?

What does this mean?

This method of information transmission, unique to assassins, was already highly confidential, so why has a new encryption method been added? How come I didn't know about this?

Zhu Wushi felt a little heartbroken that he had lost a loyal follower for nothing, but gained this in return!

The cost of supporting a suicide squad member is enormous. Do you really think it's just a matter of feeding and caring for them? No, you also have to support their entire family. And this support can't stop when the suicide squad member dies. On the contrary, they have to be treated even better. Otherwise, what will the other suicide squad members think when they see this?

Even if it's royalty, even if it's the richest person in the world as a backer, Zhu Wushi would still feel sorry for them, because training a loyal follower is really not easy.

As for whether the Zhou family would discover what he had done, he wasn't worried at all. In order to create confusion, he had mobilized all the resources he could and used every trick in the book.

In fact, if it weren't for Wuqing's existence, Zhu Wushi would have gone to great lengths to win over the Zhou family. But because of Wuqing, even though she had withdrawn from the ranks of the Four Great Constables, Zhu Wushi would not ignore her.

Although he lost his official position, the friendship remained. If Zhuge Zhengwo and the other three famous constables were to get into trouble, Wuqing would definitely take care of them. And if Wuqing took action, would the Zhou family behind her just stand by and watch?

They'll be enemies sooner or later, so naturally we should strike first. At the very least, we should have intelligence, right?

But after all that effort, and even losing a loyal soldier, all we got was that nonsensical seven-word phrase, "Tonight we're going up the mountain to hunt tigers." That's really hurtful!

Should we send more people?

Just as he was contemplating whether to try again, Huang Rong asked Zhou Ye, "What are you planning to do? Make your identity clear and do it openly and honestly?"

"He likes to hide things so much, how can I do it openly?"

Zhou Ye's laughter was somewhat sinister: "Hehehe, I have to make sure Lord Shenhou can't eat or sleep. When we get back to Jiangling Prefecture, I'll go and give him a gift."

Huang Rong nodded. She didn't need to explain anything about doing this kind of thing.

You need a plan to do good things, but it's best not to have one for bad things. If your intentions are seen through by your opponents, you won't be able to do bad things for long.

Coincidentally, Zhou Ye is the most experienced person in the family when it comes to this kind of thing, as evidenced by the mother-and-child dragon and phoenix rings that have been transformed into door knockers.

Shangguan Jin Hong still doesn't know who stole his weapon.
