Chapter 5393 Conspiracy brewing
"In the Tianyu world, apart from the Tianyu Empire, there are only some surrounding forces that surrender to the empire."
"These forces are completely under the control of the empire, and they usually don't dare to resist at all."
"As royal merchants, our Ji family is responsible for wandering back and forth between these forces and purchasing some valuable things for the royal family."
Ji Shan said in a deep voice, explaining to Zhang Yifeng and the others the role of this imperial merchant in the Tianyu Empire.
"Imperial merchant?"
Zhang Yifeng's eyes moved slightly, and it sounded like Ji Shan, the imperial merchant, was very important in the Tianyu Empire.
But this is normal. No matter where they are, Huangshang has always been a close confidant of the imperial family.
Just looking at the current situation, there might not be some civil strife happening within the Tianyu Empire.
And the flames of war happened to have spread to Ji Shan.
"Shopkeeper Ji, I wonder if the three of us can temporarily live in your house after we arrive in the Tianyu Empire?"
Zhang Yifeng raised his head and asked in a solemn voice.
"Of course there is no problem with this matter. Mr. Zhang, you can stay in my house as long as you want!"
A look of joy flashed across Ji Shan's face when he heard this, and he patted his chest and promised.
In his heart, as long as Zhang Yifeng could stay in his house for a few more days, he might be able to fall in love with his daughter for a long time.
At that time, Ji Shan can naturally accept Zhang Yifeng as his son-in-law.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Ji, I don't want to live in your house in vain."
"Today, your flying boat was attacked by a monster. I think there is something hidden inside."
"If Shopkeeper Ji trusts us, we will handle this matter."
Zhang Yifeng coughed slightly and interrupted Ji Shan's thoughts.
"Wouldn't this trouble Mr. Zhang and you guys?"
Ji Shan came back to his senses, and after listening to what Zhang Yifeng said, he asked without concern.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ji. Now that I've said it, I'm absolutely sure."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled and replied calmly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Zhang needs my help for anything?"
Ji Shan nodded slightly, and then asked directly.
As a businessman, he knows very well that there is no such thing as pie in the sky.
Since Zhang Yifeng is willing to help him deal with this matter, he must not just want to live in his house for a while.
"Shopkeeper Ji is so direct, so I won't hide it."
"I would like to ask Shopkeeper Ji to help me find my missing friend in Tianyu Realm."
Zhang Yifeng stared at Ji Shan and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, don't worry. When I return to the empire, I will mobilize all my men to help you, Mr. Zhang, find the person."
Ji Shan didn't think about it for long and agreed immediately.
"With the words of shopkeeper Ji, I can feel more at ease."
Zhang Yifeng chuckled, and immediately raised his hand to put the barrier in the room into his sleeve. After a chat, Ji Shan prepared a room for Zhang Yifeng and the others.
Then he returned to the deck and began to direct the guards to drive 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 pain.
He covered his eyes with his hands, and strands of blood seeped out from between his fingers.
"hateful!"
Butler Li cursed angrily, and the magic power in his palm continued to work, restoring the damage to his eyes.
The person 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, directly blinding him.
Butler Li didn't care about anything else at the time. He was afraid that he would be discovered by Ji Shan, so he hurriedly covered his eyes and ran back to his room.
"Where did that damn guy come from?"
"If it weren't for these guys, Ji Shan would have died here today!"
The injury on Butler Li's eyes quickly returned to normal under the influence of magic power. After barely adapting to the lights in the room, Butler Li stood up.
His face was full of anger, and he kept cursing Zhang Yifeng and the others.
Just as Ji Shan worried, the attack on the caravan was indeed not an accident, but was handled by Butler Li.
And the reason why he did this was to seize the position of caravan treasurer.
However, for him, a mere housekeeper, to dare to seek power and usurp the throne was naturally not caused by temporary greed.
Thinking that Zhang Yifeng and the others had messed up his plan, Butler Li couldn't help but show murderous intent in his eyes.
"Damn it, it seems we have to use another plan."
After cursing in a low voice for a while, Butler Li bit the bullet and took out a golden page from his arms.
As he crushed the page with force, a light curtain suddenly lit up in front of him.
"What, the mission has been completed?"
After the light curtain rose, a hoarse and deep male voice soon came from within.
At the same time, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness within the light curtain.
"Excuse me, sir, something unexpected happened."
Butler Li swallowed and lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes in the light screen.
Hearing Butler Li's words, the eyes in the light screen suddenly condensed.
An invisible pressure penetrated the water mirror and rolled over Butler Li's body.
"Trash, you have been given such great authority, yet you can't even deal with an unsuspecting Royal Merchant shopkeeper!"
"It seems I don't need to keep you anymore!"
The hoarse and deep male voice in the light curtain said with a cruel tone, and at the same time, a little black light began to brew in the light curtain.
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"This is not because the villain is incompetent, but because there is another reason!"
Seeing that the black light in the light curtain was condensing, Butler Li hurriedly begged for mercy loudly.
Hearing this, the eyes in the light screen darkened and took a deep look at Butler Li.
Although there were no words, the black light that was condensing in his light curtain suddenly dissipated.
"Tell me specifically what's going on!"
The eyes in the light curtain stared at Butler Li and said coldly.
"Yes, sir."
Butler Li trembled 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 everything clearly.
The eyes behind the light curtain couldn't help but fall into deep thought after learning all this.
"Heh, it seems that the Ji family is lucky enough."
"In that case, I can't blame you for this. Just stay on the flying boat and stay there."
"When you return to the empire, come to me again, and I will personally send people to wipe out the entire Ji family!"
A deep and hoarse male voice behind the curtain said with a sneer.
Immediately, the light curtain flickered 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.
