Chapter 520: Conspiracy (1)

After the vicious words and the expression on his face disappeared, the butler returned to his flattering attitude and followed him back into the carriage.
Tsk tsk…
Liao Zixuan, who had secretly recorded all of this with the in-game recording function, couldn’t help but smack his lips.
It seemed that there was more to this than he had imagined.
However, what was more important now was…
“Let’s go!”
Liao Zixuan picked up Kasumi Akiko, who was still in the midst of her inspiration and writing, and ran in the direction where the squad leader samurai had gone.
Thump…
Thump! Thump!
“Didn’t I tell you? I told you to go home quickly. Do you really want to be sent to prison by man’s impatient voice came from inside the room.
The squad leader thought it was the impulsive man who had finally been persuaded to go back.
However, when he got up and opened the door, a man and a…A stranger whose gender could not be distinguished.
“You are…”
“No! Only internal staff can enter this place. Why are you…” The squad leader was quite alert. His first reaction was to grab the scabbard at his waist. However, when Liao Zixuan spoke up, the squad leader temporarily let go of his tense nerves.
“You should be one of Kondo Naosuke’s trusted subordinates, right? Take us to him.”
“You…
“We were sent by Lord Keisuke.
Liao Zixuan’s first sentence directly exposed his identity, and his second sentence shocked the captain even more.
He hesitated for a moment before he quickly got Liao Zixuan and the others to come into the house. He quickly closed the door and even locked it to prevent outsiders from entering.
After everything was done, he re-examined Liao Zixuan and asked seriously,
“Why are you looking for Lord Naosuke?”
“If my intelligence is correct, you must have been planning how to rescue Lord Keisuke from Prison Mountain, right? I asked Naosuke for this.
If the squad leader was still skeptical about Liao Zixuan’s identity, after hearing this, he completely believed it.
Rescuing Lord Keisuke was a top secret among top secrets. If the other party was truly hostile, just this revelation would be enough to make them lose everything.
The captain was smart enough not to ask any more questions because he knew that the fewer people who knew about such a top-secret matter, the safer it was. So he only said again,
“Is it something important?”
“It’s very important.”
Alright! Then change into this and follow me! “Seeing Liao Xuan’s persistence, the squad leader gritted his teeth and took out two sets of clothes from his room, indicating for them to wear.
After dressing up a little, Liao Zixuan and the other disguised themselves as civil servants in the Grand Fudge Court and followed the samurai beside the squad leader. However, it was obvious that Kondo Naosuke was quite a distance away from here. Thus, while they were on the way, Liao Zixuan pretended to casually talk to the samurai beside him.
“The troublemaker from the Divine Wizard performance just now, did you let him go home?”
“Yes…” The squad leader sighed. He understood why Liao Zixuan asked this.
“Even if what he said is the truth, we actually can’t do anything about it. After all, business isn’t under the jurisdiction of our Grand Fuxing Justice. As for the Kanding Justice… Since you are Lord Keisuke’s subordinate, you should understand the situation there.
Liao Zixuan pretended to nod and asked again,
“Then what do you think of the highly reputable candidate for the Divine Wizard?”
” To be honest, there have been many people like them in the past. On the surface, they seem to be competing for the position of Divine Wizard, but in fact, they have already evolved into using the Divine Wizard Selection to obtain official permission. Through extremely high exposure, they will pick up the plane to sell all kinds of associated goods. This is not the first time. ”
” The reason why the three ot them went along With it and even Lord Gong Si agreed to it was probably because they had indeed increased the taxes and finances of the Thousand Islands by a lot. Secondly, they did not run away in the end and fulfilled their responsibility as Divine Magi to go to the Abyssal Sea. Unfortunately…Sigh, this kind of method of going by the tail, no wonder the Divine Magi who have been in charge for several years have never returned. I really wonder what the situation under the Abyssal Sea is like…”
“However, it’s strange. There are clearly so many Divine Magi who can’t return, but they still continue to tirelessly run for the Divine Magi. It can only be said that… As expected, money was more attractive, right?”
The captain of the squad sighed, but he still interjected at the end.
But actually, I feel that this year’s Lord Akino might really be different from the other candidates in the past who only wanted fame and money. The Divine Wizard Selection has just started, but she has already gained such astonishing popularity. This is something that the previous candidates could not do.
“So, I believe that even though Lord Akino may have a money-making side, she must be sincere to those fans who support her!
“You don’t know, but her butler was unwilling to let go of the previous conflict. It’s all thanks to Miss Akino who spoke up. Otherwise, even if I wanted to protect that man, I would probably end up in prison with my family destroyed.
After getting to know more about the Daphne’s actions and the attitude of the people at the bottom of the Thousand Islands, they approached the office where Kondo Naosuke was.
After the squad leader sent someone in to inform them, he bowed to Liao Zixuan and the others, then quickly left and returned to his post.
Not long after…
“Lord Naosuke invites you in.” A new soldier led Liao Zixuan and the others through a few more carefully hidden corridors before finally arriving in front of a very remote house.
He pushed the door open and entered the room. It was a little dimly lit, but he could still see the young military officer sitting in the middle of the room. He had a familiar burly and tall figure.
Xia Qiuzi, who was beside Liao Zixuan, was a little nervous. She quietly moved closer to him. After all, the aura that this person brought was much more oppressive than the previous team leader.
“Tell me, why did you pretend to be Lord Keisuke’s retainer to see me? “Although the young military official was sitting with his back facing them, his words were shocking.
Kasumi Akiko panicked and became extremely nervous. Fortunately, Liao Zixuan, who was beside her, was prepared for this. His casual lie might be able to fool the squad leaders below, but it would be useless at the level of Kondo Naosuke.
However, for Liao Zixuan, he had already achieved his goal by allowing him to stand here and talk to the young military official.
“Before I explain, I wonder if you can lend me the ruler on the table. ”
The ruler was a black square stone used to flatten paper in paperwork. Kondo Naosuke frowned at Liao Zixuan’s unexpected words. He was obviously puzzled.
However, since the other party had said so, the young military official turned around and nodded at Liao Zixuan, indicating that he could borrow it at will. He wanted to see what Liao Zixuan wanted to do.
However, what happened next…
“Thank you.”
Liao Zixuan smiled at the young military official, walked to the edge of the stage, picked up the ruler, and shook it slightly in his hand. It was indeed a military official’s configuration. Whether it was the texture or the hardness, it was very high-grade, giving people a sense of solidity.
The paperweight was originally used to press paper. It required weight, and for the sake of aesthetics and convenience, it had to specially choose special stones with high internal density. As for the stone that Kondo Naosuke was using, it was probably the best among the high-grade stones. Liao Zixuan could even vaguely feel the reaction of the ” rock element ” inside.
Any stone had rock properties, but not necessarily rock elements. The people of Gui Li, who were under the God of Rock, might know better that a stone with rock elements attached to it was an existence comparable to a forged weapon.
Very good.
Liao Zixuan nodded in satisfaction and began to hold both sides of the ruler with both hands, then exerted a little force.
At first, neither Kondo Naosuke nor Kasumiko, who was accompanying him, could understand what Liao Zixuan was doing. Or rather, they understood his posture but could not understand it.
However, the crisp sound that rang out in the room immediately followed, as if the two of them had pressed the pause button.
Kacha…
Thump! Thump!
The two hands, one on the left and one on the right, brought the broken pieces of the ruler back to the table. Liao Zixuan looked at the stunned young military official and said again,
“Now, Lord Naosuke should believe that I have no ill intentions, right? Can we sit down and have a good talk about the future…To raid the enemy’s stronghold on White Plulsland?”
