Chapter 83: Dream Returning
ther text you'd like me to translate!At this moment, Han Yin suddenly remembered a scene.That was when he broke through, making a decisive decision to come to Luòlóng Pass.His son, the current ruler o...The official road connecting the Lian Tong Hu mining site with Qingyang Town was dilapidated and in poor condition.
Because the mine will eventually be abandoned, the Qingyang Town authorities are naturally unwilling to invest more in it.

Xi Zi Chu walked with her disguised maidservant, chuckling softly and enjoying herself.
At the head of the official road, a lone figure stood in the center.
Xi Zi Chu didn't seem surprised at all: "Hu Shao Meng, although you're not at the mine, you still know everything that's going on there, don't you"
“Cut the crap.” Hu Shaomeng, who had been waiting for a long time and was getting impatient, said, “What’s your purpose”
“I’d like to ask you, what is your purpose” Xi Zi Chu retorted, “Asking someone to assassinate the envoy of the Chongxuan family, you really came up with it. This kind of thing could be blamed on the Xi family Do you think the Chongxuan family would believe it”
"Food can be eaten haphazardly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. Someone hired to assassinate a messenger of the Xuan family, wouldn't it be the five families working together"
"Oh, oh." Xi Zi Chu shook her head and smiled: "That's also right."
Hu Shao pressed down on the agitation in his heart: "So, what do you really want"
Nobody knows the truth better than him.
It was indeed his handiwork to have someone assassinate Jiang Wang.
After their encounter, Jiang Wang rejected the suggestion to immediately shut down the mine, his determination unsettling him. He even went so far as to publicly humiliate the heavy Xuan clan members brought by Hu You.
Hu Shaomeng therefore realized that no matter what he said, it would backfire. Jiang Wang perhaps sensed something and was determined not to leave the Hu family mine.
If one plan fails, another is devised.
Old Li is absolutely trustworthy. He's a trusted confidant that Lao Li has in Jia City. Back then, he was one of the undercover agents targeting the Xi family. Using him now is perfect timing.
The "Tianxia Lou" organization, a notorious assassin group with a name that belied its true nature, was meticulously selected by him. The fact that their headquarters were located in the remote city of Cangfeng alone was enough to catch his attention.
It doesn't matter whether Tianxia Lou can kill Jiang Wang.
> It would be best if we could kill him. Since the Xuan family is far away in Qi, it will take some time to send someone over to investigate again.
What he needed was time, the blank space in the mine after Jiang Wang's death.
It is not possible to kill Jiang Wang, nor would letting him leave be a solution.
Lao Li, the one who hired a hitman, has already been sent abroad.
>
After being assassinated, no matter which line of inquiry Jiang Wang takes, the result will not change.
If Jiang Wang were to go to Cangfeng City and challenge Tianxia Lou, whether he would win or lose is besides the point. Just the time it would take him to make the trip back and forth would achieve Hu Shaomeng's purpose.
This line of text should be translated.
And if he were to pursue Old Li, that would be even more interesting.
Old Li would do everything he could to escape, increasing the difficulty of his pursuit. When he finally caught Old Li, he would be shocked to "discover" that Old Li was a member of the Xi family and working for them!
This plan is perfect. As the planner, Hu Shaomeng himself is very pleased.
But what he hadn't expected was that Jiang Wang took down the assassin on the spot and extracted information, but instead of going anywhere, he stayed put in the mine.
No matter which direction Jiang Wang walked, he would be led by the nose. But Jiang Wang stood still and refused to move; the string leading his nose became merely decoration.
At this time, Xi Zichu stepped forward to suppress the matter, letting the heads of those small families take the blame. This was something he hadn't expected.
...what also worried him particularly.
"What do you want to do" Hu Shaomeng repeated again.
Xi Zi Chu was no longer going to play riddles with him, and said lightly: "If you want to do something, I'll do it too."
Although Hu Shaomeng had a premonition that Xi Zichu would suddenly return to Jiacang, he still couldn't help but turn pale: "You already know"
Whether it was killing the miner or the extraordinary cultivator stationed at the mine, it was all to cover up the secret. He thought he had done a perfect job, but it turned out he still made a mistake.
“Jia Cheng belongs to the Xi family.” Xi Zi Chu looked at him calmly. “Here, nothing can be hidden from me.”
But Qingyang Town is surnamed Hu.
"As for the surname of Qingyang Town, perhaps we should wait until after Ren Xuan's people leave before discussing it," Xi Zi Chu turned and asked, "A dispute between two parties is always better than a dispute involving three. Don't you think so"
After all, Hu Shaomeng was a capable person and quickly weighed the pros and cons. Since things couldn't be reversed, he could only choose the lesser of two evils.
He directly asked, “It’s impossible for Jiang Wang to just say whatever you say. He will definitely be interrogated again. Are you sure those people are reliable”

“Their entire clan's lives are in my hands. They understand that, deeply. And at their core, it's the truth. So no matter how they examine it, there won't be a problem.”
Hu Shaomen's face changed.
What does this mean He knows it very well.
Memory manipulation!
Such a thing is not something that a cultivator at the Tenglong Realm can accomplish.
If he were only facing Xi Zi Chu himself, he could still stand a chance with his cards. But if the other party were able to mobilize this level of power, then everything he had done would be pointless.

It wouldn't make any sense to evict the Chong Xuan family anyway.
“You don’t need to be nervous.” To avoid further incidents, Xi Zi Chu explained, “I used Huimengxiang. My master only gave me half a stick, and it has now burned out completely.”
He pulled out a burnt-out incense stick, with only a faint residue left. It was impossible for it to work anymore. “You can take it back and check,”
Hu Shaomeng took over the remnant fragrance. That mysterious aura hadn't dissipated, it was indeed Hui Mengxiang. His heart relaxed a little, but he couldn't lose his guard.
Xi Zi Chu said again, "You know how precious this thing is. To make up for the hole you poked, I had to use it. Since I paid such a price, the harvest has to satisfy me."
"Hu Shaomeng snorted coldly: "The Hu family could have operated for another thirty years with this mine. I haven't put in any less effort than you."
"It's seeing you bet so heavily that I'm willing to play along with you, Young Master Hu."
Xi Zi Chu smiled, embracing the maidservant dressed as a man, and walked slowly.

There was one thing he did not say. That sending those minor clan heads to their deaths was not merely about plugging the hole for Hu Shaomeng. There were other ways to plug the hole; there was no need to use a treasure like Huimengxiang.
The Xi family has controlled Jia City for many years, and could suppress these small families with a flick of their wrist. In the past, they did not act against them to appease the Yang Guo court and avoid being labeled as causing civil unrest. They also lacked a justifiable reason to do so.
But if these people were killed by someone from the Chongxuan family, that would be different. These families sought their own demise and have no one to blame but themselves.
He wasn't worried that Hu Shaomeng would cause any more trouble. As long as he left him a glimmer of hope, the gambler who had already invested so much wouldn't cut his losses and leave.
The more you invest, the harder it is to let go.
He and Hu Shaomeng both knew very well that their common goal was to get Chongxuan's family out of the way.
If two people can fill themselves, a giant like Chong Xuan would crowd in, and everyone else would go hungry. be stoppedWho in the world cannot be understoodEnough!"Little snake, it's been three months since you left the valley." He frowned and said, "I wonder if things have been taken care of"As if only now...
