Chapter 5393: Conspiracy brewing
"In the Tianyu Realm, apart from the Tianyu Empire, there are only a few forces that are subservient to the empire."
"These forces are completely under the control of the empire, and they normally don't dare to even think of resisting."
"As the imperial merchant, our Ji family is responsible for traveling back and forth between these forces and purchasing some valuable things for the royal family."
Ji Shan spoke in a deep voice and explained to Zhang Yifeng and the other two the role of this imperial merchant in the Tianyu Empire.
"Imperial merchant?"
Zhang Yifeng's eyes moved slightly. It sounded like Ji Shan, the imperial merchant, had great weight in the Tianyu Empire.
But this is normal. No matter where they are, imperial merchants have always been trusted by the imperial family.
Just looking at the current situation, there might be some internal strife happening in the Tianyu Empire.
And this war just happened to affect Ji Shan.
"Manager Ji, I wonder if the three of us can temporarily stay in your house after we arrive in the Tianyu Empire?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his head and asked in a serious tone.
"Of course there is no problem with this matter. Mr. Zhang, you can stay in my house as long as you want!"
When Ji Shan heard this, a look of joy flashed across his face and he patted his chest to assure him.
In his heart, as long as Zhang Yifeng could stay in his house for a few more days, he might fall in love with his daughter.
At that time, Ji Shan could naturally accept Zhang Yifeng as his son-in-law.
"Well, Manager Ji, we are not staying in your house for nothing."
"Today, your flying boat was attacked by a monster. I think there is a hidden story behind it."
"If Manager Ji trusts us, we will handle this matter."
Zhang Yifeng coughed lightly, interrupting Ji Shan's fantasy.
"Won't this cause trouble to you, Master Zhang?"
Ji Shan came back to his senses and asked with some concern after listening to what Zhang Yifeng said.
"Don't worry, Manager Ji. Now that I've said it, I'm fully confident."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled and replied calmly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Zhang. What do you need my help with?"
Ji Shan nodded slightly, then asked directly.
As a businessman, he knows very well that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.
Since Zhang Yifeng was willing to help him deal with this matter, it must be that he didn't just want to stay in his house for a while.
"Manager Ji is so direct, so I won't try to hide it."
"I would like to ask Shopkeeper Ji to help me find my missing friend in this Tianyu Realm."
Zhang Yifeng stared at Ji Shan and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, Master Zhang, don't worry. When we return to the empire, I will mobilize all my men to help you find the person."
Ji Shan didn't think for long and agreed without hesitation.
"With what Shopkeeper Ji said, I can feel much more at ease."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled, then raised his hand and put the barrier in the room into his sleeve. After a conversation, Ji Shan prepared a room for Zhang Yifeng and the other two.
He then returned to the deck and began to direct the guards to fly the flying boat back to the Tianyu Empire.
At the same time, in a room in the cabin, Butler Li was kneeling on the ground in agony.
He covered his eyes with his hands, and traces of blood seeped out from between his fingers.
"hateful!"
Butler Li yelled angrily, and the magic power in his hand continued to circulate to heal the injury to his eye.
The person who was eavesdropping outside Ji Shan and Zhang Yifeng's room just now was Butler Li.
But before he could eavesdrop on the conversation inside, a golden light suddenly shot out from the room and blinded his eyes.
Butler Li didn't care about anything else at the time. Fearing that he would be discovered by Ji Shan, he hurriedly covered his eyes and ran back to his room.
"Damn it, where on earth did this guy come from?!"
"If it weren't for these guys, Ji Shan would have died here today!"
The injury on Butler Li's eye quickly recovered under the effect of magic power. After barely adapting to the light in the room, Butler Li stood up.
His face was full of anger and he kept cursing Zhang Yifeng and the other two.
Just as Ji Shan worried, the attack on the caravan was indeed not an accident, but was orchestrated by Steward Li.
The reason why he did this was to seize the position of the caravan manager.
However, he was just a steward, and the fact that he dared to seek power and usurp the throne was certainly not due to momentary greed.
Thinking that Zhang Yifeng and the other two had disrupted his plans, Butler Li couldn't help but reveal murderous intent in his eyes.
"Damn it, it looks like we have to use another plan."
After cursing under his breath for a while, Butler Li gritted his teeth and took out a piece of golden paper from his arms.
As he crushed the paper pages with force, a curtain of light suddenly lit up in front of him.
"Why, the mission is completed?"
After the light curtain rose, a hoarse and deep male voice was soon heard from inside.
At the same time, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness of the light curtain.
"Report, report to the Lord, there was a little accident."
Butler Li swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and did not dare to look into the eyes in the light curtain.
Hearing what Butler Li said, the pair of eyes in the light curtain suddenly froze.
An invisible pressure penetrated the water mirror and pressed down on Butler Li.
"You're useless! I gave you so much authority, but you can't even deal with an unsuspecting Royal Merchant Shopkeeper!"
"It seems there is no need for me to keep you!"
A hoarse and deep male voice spoke cruelly in the light curtain, and at the same time, a black light began to brew in the light curtain.
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"This is not because I am incompetent, but because of other reasons!"
Seeing that the black light in the light curtain was gathering, Butler Li hurriedly begged for mercy.
Hearing this, the eyes in the light curtain darkened and looked deeply at Butler Li.
Although he didn't say anything, the black light that was gathering in his light curtain suddenly dissipated.
"Tell me in detail what is going on!"
The eyes in the light curtain stared at Butler Li and said in a cold voice.
"Yes, my lord."
Butler Li shuddered and hurriedly told the adult on the other side of the light curtain everything that happened on the flying boat.
After a while, Butler Li had explained the whole story clearly.
After learning all this, the pair of eyes behind the light curtain couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Hehe, it seems that the Ji family is also lucky enough."
"In that case, you are not to blame for this. Just stay on the flying boat and behave yourself."
"When we return to the empire, come find me again and I will personally send people to wipe out the Ji family!"
The deep and hoarse male voice behind the light curtain sneered.
Immediately, the light curtain flashed and disappeared in front of Butler Li.
"Congratulations, sir!"
Even though the light curtain had disappeared, Butler Li still knelt on the ground and shouted loudly with a respectful look on his face.
