Chapter 162: Long Fei Husband
"Dai Qian? Mr. Long Fei?" Zuo Bensan was stunned when he heard that.
Zuo Bensan didn't expect that Yan Xiaoer would meet Dai Qian, the current focus of attention, as soon as he entered Nanzhu Kingdom.
"Brother Yan, what should we do now? Do we need to take action?
If the Millennium Ice Valley was formed due to the leakage of the power of the formed Millennium Ice Soul, although we don’t know what Dai Qian went through, the high-level rare treasure of the world - Millennium Ice Soul must be in Dai Qian’s body now.
Even if the Millennium Ice Valley was not formed due to the leakage of the power of the formed Millennium Ice Soul, then Dai Qian at least had a rare treasure in the world - the Ice Soul!
We must not let Dai Qian be captured by others like this!"
After listening to Yan Xiaoer's story, Zuo Bensan thought for a moment, looked at Yan Xiaoer in front of him, and said so.
Although Zuo Bensan was the chief person in charge of the intelligence personnel of the Marquis of Fu'an Mansion in Nanzhu Kingdom, now that Yan Xiaoer is here, Zuo Bensan has to listen to Yan Xiaoer.
All this is not only because Yan Xiaoer is Zuo Bensan's guide on the road of intelligence, but also because Yan Xiaoer is Zuo Bensan's current immediate superior.
After the reorganization of the Internal Affairs Department of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, all factory guards were divided according to military standards.
From the bottom to the top, they are divided into ordinary banzi who are not ranked, corresponding to ordinary soldiers in the military; the ninth-rank captain, the chief captain and the deputy captain correspond to the ninth-rank and the ninth-rank respectively; the eighth-rank general flag, the chief captain and the deputy general flag correspond to the eighth-rank and the eighth-rank respectively; the seventh-rank lieutenant, the chief lieutenant and the deputy lieutenant correspond to the seventh-rank and the seventh-rank respectively; the sixth-rank thousand-householder, the chief and the deputy thousand-householder correspond to the sixth-rank and the sixth-rank respectively. The fifth-rank guard commander, the chief guard commander and the deputy guard commander correspond to the fifth-rank and the fifth-rank respectively.
Due to the number of people, the highest rank of the guards in the Internal Affairs Department of the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion is now only the fifth rank of the guard commander.
The commander of the factory guards was directly under the leadership of Gao Yao, the chief steward of the Internal Affairs Department.
Of course, everyone in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion knew that Fu'an Marquis Zhu Chengwu was the boss of everyone. If Zhu Chengwu wanted to bypass Gao Yao and give orders to the factory guards, no one in the factory guards would refuse.
Because this often means an opportunity for promotion has arrived.
In the command system of the Internal Affairs Department and the Factory Guard of the Marquis of Fu'an's Mansion, Yan Xiaoer was a captain of the seventh rank, and Zuo Bensan was Yan Xiaoer's deputy, also of the seventh rank.
It was only because of the recent restructuring and the shortage of staff, and because Zuo Bensan had just received the appointment, that he was sent to Nanzhu Junior High School to take charge of the overall situation. This led to the first meeting between Yan Xiaoer and Zuo Bensan, the principal and deputy duo, at Nanzhu Junior High School after the new appointment was issued.
So after Yan Xiaoer arrived, Zuo Bensan had to consult Yan Xiaoer's opinion before taking any action.
Even though Zuo Bensan had already expressed his attitude very clearly.
"Now we still have to be careful!"
Yan Xiaoer could hear the obvious tendency in Zuo Bensan's question, but he still disagreed with Zuo Bensan's opinion.
"The two of us are not even first-rate. It is almost impossible to take down Dai Qian with our manpower!" Yan Xiaoer glanced at Zuo Bensan in front of him and said so while looking around at the people around him.
"Moreover, the order that the Marquis gave us was not to capture Dai Qian and obtain the rare treasures of heaven and earth! Our purpose of coming here in advance is only to collect intelligence and explore the way. The rest of the matters will be decided by the Marquis, and the Marquis and others will take over!" Yan Xiaoer mentioned Zhu Chengwu at the end of his words.
Obviously Yan Xiaoer also knew that his importance in the hearts of these people was not as great as that of Zuo Bensan who arrived earlier.
As a captain of the seventh rank, Yan Xiaoer certainly wanted to make achievements and get a promotion, but Yan Xiaoer knew that often times, making mistakes was more terrible than not making any achievements!
"Brother Yan, I wonder when the Marquis will arrive?" Hearing Yan Xiaoer's answer, Zuo Bensan's eyes darkened, then brightened, and asked.
Although Zuo Bensan was disappointed that he could not make great contributions, he also understood Yan Xiaoer's concerns.
Their current strength is inferior to the local forces of Nanzhu Kingdom and some other forces that came faster.
At the same time, the Marquis mentioned by Yan Xiaoer also made Zuo Bensan feel moved.
As an old man in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Zuo Bensan has a kind of admiration for Zhu Chengwu. The opportunity to meet Zhu Chengwu can make Zuo Bensan give up some blind ideas of making meritorious deeds.
What's more, with the intelligence Zuo Bensan has now obtained and the contributions he has made, it is enough for Zuo Bensan to get a chance for promotion.
If Zhu Chengwu really takes over personally as Yan Xiaoer just said, then Zuo Bensan...
"Once the news about the high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth is confirmed, the Marquis' Mansion will definitely take big action. But whether the Marquis will come in person in the end is not something people of our level should care about!" Yan Xiaoer also realized his slip of the tongue and replied to Zuo Bensan with a slightly warning word.
Once the news about the high-level rare treasures of the Nanzhu Kingdom is true, Zhu Chengwu is very likely to come to the Nanzhu Kingdom in person to take over. This is the top-secret information that Yan Xiaoer accidentally learned from Gao Yao.
Gao Yao warned Yan Xiaoer, who accidentally learned of this information, and asked him not to disclose it.
Therefore, Yan Xiaoer was unable to inform his deputy Zuo Bensan of this information.
As an intelligence officer, no one understands the importance of keeping information confidential and the diversity of leaks better than Yan Xiaoer, so Yan Xiaoer would never, out of curiosity, inquire about things that he shouldn't.
It was a surprise to learn from Gao Yao that Zhu Chengwu was very likely to come to Nanzhu Kingdom in person.
It was also because of Yan Xiaoer's past performance that Gao Yao acquiesced to Yan Xiaoer's knowledge of this information.
"Okay, Brother Yan! I won't ask any more! However, as a key figure involved in high-level treasures of heaven and earth, Dai Qian's whereabouts still need to be grasped. I will now lead my brothers to investigate Dai Qian's whereabouts. Don't worry, we will only track Dai Qian's whereabouts and will not interfere in the disputes around Dai Qian!" Yan Xiaoer's words stunned Zuo Bensan, then Zuo Bensan looked at Yan Xiaoer in front of him with a bright expression and polite words, then he took his brothers out of the courtyard and went to the place where Yan Xiaoer had just met Dai Qian to investigate Dai Qian's whereabouts.
Zuo Bensan's words were extremely polite, and he did not even have the slightest intention of refuting Yan Xiaoer's words.
But when Yan Xiaoer looked at Zuo Bensan who was leaving with his brothers, he realized that the Zuo Bensan in front of him was no longer the same Zuo Bensan as before.
After several years, Zuo Bensan had already formed his own way of doing things and had his own group of trusted brothers. He would no longer follow Yan Xiaoer's opinions on everything.
"The cuckoo occupies the magpie's nest." Yan Xiaoer, who was standing alone in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion's stronghold in Nanzhu Kingdom, looked at the empty stronghold around him with inexplicable thoughts in his mind.
"Third brother, this Second Master is being too cautious! If we follow his words and actions, how could we, who have no roots in the Nanzhu Kingdom, obtain so much and such important intelligence so quickly?"
As soon as he walked out of the stronghold of Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Nanzhu Kingdom, one of Zuo Bensan's trusted subordinates came to him and whispered this.
Those who can get together with Zuo Bensan and are regarded as his trusted brothers are people who share the same ideas as Zuo Bensan.
In their hearts, life is short, and the best life is to make achievements quickly and get promoted in time.
"Xiao Qi, Brother Yan was my mentor and now he is my immediate superior. We should respect him!" Zuo Bensan said to his subordinates who were complaining. Zuo Bensan's reply was very interesting. There was only respect but no recognition.
"Third brother, we definitely respect Second Master, but we cannot agree with some of what Second Master said."
They are brothers who have been together for several years or even decades, so they naturally understood the meaning of Zuo Bensan's words.
"Then brothers, work harder and try to find Dai Qian's whereabouts as quickly as possible, or even catch Dai Qian directly. Let Brother Yan and colleagues in the Marquis' Mansion see your abilities, and let them be convinced of your promotion!" Zuo Bensan fixed his eyes and said so.
This is Zuo Bensan’s true words!
Zuo Bensan was promoted to the seventh rank in just two or three years by virtue of his meritorious service, which caused quite a stir among the factory guards. They all said that Zuo Bensan was lucky, but only Zuo Bensan knew how much effort he had put in to achieve meritorious service.
When he makes achievements again, keeps getting promoted, and even becomes the boss of some people, Zuo Bensan wants to see the faces of those people to see if they are embarrassed to say that he, Zuo Bensan, achieved his achievements entirely by luck.
……
Just when Zuo Bensan and Yan Xiaoer had a disagreement and intended to rely on facts to prove his correctness, Dai Qian, who was at the center of the storm, appeared in a place no one expected.
"Brother Dai, where is this place? It's so cold!" Dai Ziyu, the grandson of Dai Qian, kept rubbing his body and asked while looking at Dai Qian who was not far in front of him.
"Millennium Ice Valley!" Dai Qian answered with four words in a calm tone as he walked forward.
"What, this is the legendary Millennium Ice Valley! Wait... If this is the Millennium Ice Valley, then it means that the rumors in the martial arts world are true. Brother Dai, you really have been frozen for forty years. You really are my grandfather Dai Qian!" Dai Ziyu reacted belatedly, stopped, and looked in surprise at the "big brother" in front of him whose face and age were almost the same as his.
Although it was Dai Ziyu who accidentally rescued Dai Qian from the Millennium Ice Valley, to be honest, it was all a coincidence.
When Dai Qian was rescued, Dai Ziyu had no idea that it was the Millennium Ice Valley.
After all, who would have thought that a hidden passage in an ordinary abandoned well in an ordinary abandoned house in the capital of Nanzhu Kingdom could lead to the Millennium Ice Valley.
Moreover, Dai Ziyu, an ordinary person, actually endured the extreme cold of the Millennium Ice Valley, and inadvertently broke the ice that had frozen Dai Qian for forty years, and brought Dai Qian out of the Millennium Ice Valley.
This is all so unbelievable!
It was precisely because all this was too unbelievable, so even though he had heard key words such as Millennium Ice Valley, Dai Qian... countless times in recent days, and several people had said in front of Dai Ziyu that the "big brother" next to him was his biological grandfather, he still did not believe it.
However, now that his "big brother" brought him to this extremely cold place and told him that this was the Millennium Ice Valley, Dai Ziyu's "stubbornness" was finally broken.
"Zi Yu, I am indeed your grandfather - Dai Qian!" Dai Qian also stopped and turned to look at the tall grandson in front of him with a complicated expression.
After all, based on life experience, Dai Qian's life experience is actually not much more than that of his grandson Dai Ziyu.
Dai Qian was unconscious during his forty years of experience as a frozen man.
However, Dai Qian's ability to say this also indicates that his amnesia caused by forty years of experience as a frozen man has been completely recovered.
"Brother, are you really my grandfather?" Although the fact was right in front of him, Dai Ziyu still found it hard to believe that the elder brother in front of him, who he had been living with day and night for some time, was his biological grandfather.
But then Dai Ziyu thought of his grandmother's abnormal behavior when she first met his eldest brother, and Dai Ziyu finally had no choice but to accept this absurd fact.
I have to say, young people are quick to accept new things!
Perhaps this was also because, although Dai Ziyu did not believe it on the surface, he had already anticipated it deep in his subconscious mind over the past period of time!
"Okay, Zi Yu, Dai...Grandpa, it's not safe here, let's go!" Just when Dai Qian and Dai Zi Yu stopped unconsciously because of the conversation, Yin Baiyan on the side spoke.
"Bai Yan is right! Let's go!" After Yin Baiyan spoke, Tong Wuji on the side also spoke.
Guan Shanyue was not far behind them, and they had no time to waste here.
Tong Wuji, the former top master of Nanzhu Kingdom, had three disciples in his life, namely Guan Shanyue, Dai Qian and Yin Yang.
The eldest disciple Guan Shanyue joined the army, the second disciple Dai Qian roamed the martial arts world, and the younger disciple Yin Yang, who was relatively less talented, was taken by Tong Wuji and taught for a long time.
Forty years ago, the eldest disciple Guan Shanyue, who joined the army, had become one of the three commanders of the Nanzhu Kingdom's imperial guards. The second disciple, who roamed the underworld, had also become a legend in the Nanzhu Kingdom's underworld martial arts world - Mr. Long Fei.
Afterwards, Dai Qian accidentally discovered that his senior brother Guan Shanyue was colluding with another member of the royal family of Nanzhu Kingdom with the intention of rebellion.
Dai Qian immediately communicated with his master Tong Wuji, who was then the commander-in-chief of the Nanzhu Kingdom's Royal Guard, and reported the matter to the court together with his junior fellow apprentice Yin Yang.
Unfortunately, Dai Qian and Yin Yang's actions were known in advance by their eldest brother Guan Shanyue, who was one of the three commanders of the imperial guards at the time.
Guan Shanyue took a step ahead and reported Dai Qian and Yin Yang for rebellion to the King of Nanzhu Kingdom.
The weakest junior brother Yin Yang was killed on the spot by Guan Shanyue. The stronger Dai Qian escaped from the capital, but was eventually knocked off a cliff by Guan Shanyue and fell into the Millennium Ice Valley.
As for the three people's teacher Tong Wuji, he was removed from the post of Chief of the Nanzhu Kingdom's Royal Guards. The post of Chief of the Nanzhu Kingdom's Royal Guards and the title of Nanzhu Kingdom's number one master fell into Guan Shanyue's hands.
However, after Guan Shanyue took control of the Royal Guards, he did not choose to rebel with another royal family member, but chose to kill that ambitious royal family member and control the current King of Nanzhu Kingdom, who had a weak character and principles.
In the past decade or so, after Guan Shanyue completely controlled the court of Nanzhu Kingdom, he even began to stay in the harem of Nanzhu Kingdom.
Up to this day, all the adult princes of the King of Nanzhu Kingdom, who is now nearly forty years old, have met with accidents, and only the teenage son of the imperial concubine is alive.
The son of this imperial concubine does not look like the king of Nanzhu Kingdom at all. Instead, he takes the powerful Guan Shanyue as his teacher and has a very close relationship with Guan Shanyue.
This can be regarded as the Nanzhu country version of "Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone"!
However, Guan Shanyue did cover up the truth, and the King of Nanzhu Kingdom did not explicitly point out that the concubine's son was not his son.
The princes, nobles, and aristocratic families of Nanzhu Kingdom pretended not to know.
